During a political campaign a
well known lawyer in a western state
was addressing an audience com
posed principally of farmers. Like
a wise speaker-and shrewd candi-
date-he tried to suit his speech to
the occasion.
In tone which he evidently con-
sidered both cordial and honest and
with a winning smile he began:
My friends, my sympathies have
always been with the tillers of the
soil. My father was a practical
farmer, and so was my grandfather
before him. | myself was born on
a farm and was, SO to speak, reared
between two stalks of corn"
Here his eloquence was rudely in
terrupted by the trumpet tones of a
farmer in the rear of the hall.
"Jimminy crickets,' he shouted,
"if YOU amt a pumpkin,
The house ''came down" and the
candidate, for the moment at least,
was sadly embarrassed.

4 strange custom prevails among
certain tribe in the Caucasus.
When a single young man dies, some
one who has carried to the grave
manageable daughter in the
course Of the year call. upon the be-
reaved parents and SAYS:
Your son Is sure to want wife.
I'll give YOU my daughter, and YOU
shall deliver TO me the marriage
portion in return. -
\ friendly offer of this descrip-
ton Is never rejected, and the two
parties soon come TO terms as to
the amount of the dowry, which
varies according to the advantages
possessed by the girl in her lifetime.
Cases have been known where the
young mans father has given as
much as thirty COWS to secure a
dead wife for his dead son.

TALL, THIN AND MUSCULAR.
The American Type Of Man Clearly
Distinct From All Others.

There Is as distinctive a type of
American manhood as there is Of
any other country. True, the Amer
lean people are a mixture. We COM
hire several different races and
bIoods. Bat the interlnixturc has
gone on 50 gradually, the original
American type always prevalent,
that the American man is a distinct
representative of civilization, diff
icring from the Engh,hnan, the
Frcnchman and the German as
much as these differ from each
other.
Examination of the portraits of
Revolutionary times and those of
the present date show httle if any
difference between the men of the
earlier times and those Of the pres
cnt day, save in the matter Of at
tire. Dress the people OF the pres
ent day as were the people Of the
Revolutionary epoch appareIed, and
nothing could be found to establish
a notable difference between the
American of today and the Amerl-
can of the last quarter of the eight
zenith century. Food. climatic con-
ditions and occupations have all
much to do with the physical pc
cularitieS of people. The races
that have for centuries received no
admiNture of foreign blood retain
peculiarltieS that seem unchanged
bic.
What people eat and drink, their
dwelling places, the soil ard climate
they inhabit, their worship, amuse-
ments and work all determine looks.
The American Indian when first met
on this continent by adventurous
Europeans lived almost exclusively
on meat and flesh diet, the prod
uct of chase and other adventure.
He was tall, thin, muscular and dar-
ing His eye was bright, his hear
ing acute. He looked the fearless
being that he really was. He had
to fight wild beasts and savage man.
He feared neither. The early white
settlers, obliged by the peculiar con-
ditions of pioneer times to live in a
measure like the Indians, became
also tall, thin, muscular, daring.
Their eyes flashed with the fearless
ness that characterizes the Ameri-
can race of the present.
We have more generous and va
ried diet than our ancestors. Diet
affects personal appearance in a
marked degree. We are becoming a
larger and heavier race, but the dis
tinctive features of a century or
more ago are still in evidence. The
American is easily recognized every
where he goes in foreign lands. He
will for a long time present the same
type that today distinguishes him
from men of all other races.-Louis-
vile Herald.

Try These Cures For Stinos.

All sorts of stings, whether from
bees, wasps, hornets or bumblebees,
should be sucked to remove as much
poison as possible; then have a slice
of acid fruity apple, tomato or
peach, or a crushed berry or grape,
either ripe or green, bound lightly
to the wound. If the pain is severe,
after a minute take off the fruit,
wash the sting in warm water and
battle it well in alcohol. Then wet
folded linen rag in either alcohol
or vinegar, and bind on the sting.
If neither alcohol, vinegar or gut
of any sort is at hand, try a bruised
plantain leaf. Change the applica-
ton, whatever it is, every ten min
utes until the pain subsidies

A Valuable Threat.

J. W. Brooks, a great railway
manager Of Michigan. whose pen
manship was very poor, once wrote a
letter to man on the route, mott
fying him that he must remove a
barn, which in some manner incom-
NODDED the road, under penalty of
prosecution. The threatened indi-
vidual was unable to read any part
of the letter but the signature, but
took it to be a free pass on the
road, and used it for two wears on
the company's trains, none Of the
conductors being able to dispute his

FLOOD PREDICTIONS.
About tns @ost Remarkable Were the
Warnings Of 1908.

One of the most remarkable cases
Of Hood pr. lction on record was the
warming y the disastrous floods of
1903. Twenty-cight days in ad-
vance of It's coming the Iorecastcr
at Washington announced the exact
time when the crest of a flood would
reach New Orleans and said that the
lei-ht of the flood would be twenty
one feet. Principally to the hour
the flood came. and is crest was
twenty feet and seven inches, only
five inches less than the height pre-
dlcted. The immense ocean of water
had started 1000 miles away. II
had dropped from the skies over a
territory six times larger than the
state of New York tower 100000
square miles,. But the weather man
knew its rate of march a. surely as
the engineer, with his eye on the IN
dicator, knows the speed OF hi, loco
motive. The people at Memphis
were warned that the waters would
rise to forty feet and oyertop their
levecs. and they were given seven
days notice. The people Of Cairo
were told to prepare for height of
fifty feet But as they were nearer
the starting point of the flood they
received only four DAYS notice. Such
sca,onable warning gave time to the
people to prepare for defense. Thou

Habit Was Too Strong.

The force of old associations, as
Samuel Beverly learned one Sunday
morning, is something against which

of service as railroad man. chiefly
in the capacity Of conductor, Bey-
erly had retired and was spending
his days quietly in his native town.
just after he had taken his ac-
customed seat one morning IN
church he was requested to perform
the duty Of an absent deacon, by
assisting in taking up the coIlcc-
ton. lie was proceeding decoroua-
" along the aisle with the plate
when, half way down the aisle. he
came to the Atkinson pew. On this
morning Mrs. Atkin>on'S Uncle
Harvey, who happened to sit next
the aisle, had dropped oil into a
pleasant little nap.
When Beverly espied the old man,

A FIirt and a Couuette.

There is all the difference in the
world between a flirt and a coquette,
although to many the terms are sy-
nonymous. "The coquettc," accord
ing to one authority, uses man as
she does her dresses-she likes to be
seen with new one every day. She
kills for the sake Of killing. She
plays on mans vanity to satisfy
hers. The hirt, on the other hand,
is not serious, and she does not
want you to take her seriously. She
wants fun, innocent fun, and if you
can make up your mind to accept
her for what she is worth she may

dinner disagreed with him until he

Exasperatins PunctuaIity.

There are people who conscien-
tiously believe themselves to be the
soul Of punctuaIity because they are
always five minutes before the prop
er time. They are ready in the
drawing room a quarter Of an hour
before ii is time to 90 into the din
ing room for luncheon. 1t Is the
overpunctual, the "antepunctual,'
host who is attacked by brain fever
and who sends his guests to wait
twenty minutes or more stamping
up and down a country station plat
form so as to prevent them from
missing the train. To be always
five minutes ahead of the clock is
surely one of the most eXasperating
forms of so called punctuaIity i'm
aginable.-London Spectator.

In burroWing his tunnels the mole
seems to swim through the earth
rather than to dig his way. Al
though much of the earth is never
removed from the runs, but is beat
en- hard into the walls and floor of
the tunnel, the creature finds it
more expeditions in busy times to
clear the runs Of loose earth. This
he does at a point where the run
comes to the surface by pushing the
earth before him with his flat fore
head and face Sometimes where
the earth binds easily he pushes out
the mold in solid round plugs, show
ing the exact dimensions of the orr
flee through which they have been
thrust. When the mole is hunting
or travelling underground he has no
need to throw up the earth. This is
a subsequent operation for the pur-
pose Of cleaning the runs for regu
lar use.
