was to bore holes with a gimlet A
more subtle way Is now In use. The
bacteria which bore holes in wood are

knows. If wood Is too much worm

Therefore, when the process of decay

MEMS HAIR FASHIONS.

Not So Various a. Women's, but Sub
ject to Change.
1--WE hear a great deal about the va
'ious styles in which women dress their
hair" said the barber, but we don't
hear much said about the styles in
which men wear their hair
Yet men do have styles in this re-
gard which they follow closely, though
they do not change their styles so fire.
quently as women do theirs. nor are
their styles so various. They are, in
deed, confined mostly to changes In the
part.
1.-TWO or three years ago, as you will
remember. 1t was the fashion for men
to part their hair in the middle. and
this was a fashion very commonly fol-
lowed, and by many elderly as well as
by young men. There were many old
er men not averse to following the
fashion Of the younger men to make
themselves more like the younger man
| in appearance. and then many an older
man found that by parting his hair
in the middle he was enabled to cover
up the bare spots that time had brought
to his temples, and he took kindly to
the fashion on that account.
80 parting the hair in the middle
was really the prevailing fashion. and
men. old and young, wearing their hair
| in that manner were to be met on ev-
cry hand. But now a man with his
| l.
ty much every man now parts his hair
on the side. and man, old or young.
with his hair parted In the middle
would be 80 conspicuous as to attract
attention.
Men have individual ways in the
wearing Of their hair, as for example
some men who think long hair Is be-
coming to them may wear their hair
long. and some men with naturally
curly hair may not try very hard to
comb 1t out straight. There are men
who follow their fancies as to how
they shall wear their hair, just as there
| are some women who disregard the
style and wear their hair in the man
ner they believe to be the most becom-
ing to them; but as to the part, the
prevailing style for men now is to have
that on the side.
women say that men look better
with their hair parted on the side than
in the middle, but / don't think this
has anything to do with making style,
for most men consider themselves at
tractive anyway, and l look in due
time to see the middle part become
fashionable again.
"As matter Of fact. the side part,
which Is the natural part for men, does
prevail in the long run, taking a long
series of years; but men like a change,
and the middle part pleases their van
ity, or in some cases serves a purpose.
and 1t will no doubt come In again, to
last at least for while. Men change
their ways Of wearing their hair just
as they change the style Of the shoe
they wear."-New. York Sun.

Latest SWindlinG Game.

Here is one Of the latest schemes for
making money, which has fourlshed in
town for some weeks past, says the
Philadelphia Press. A man stops you
on the street and in the most confiden.
tlal Of tones asks you to direct him to
n good pawnshop where they don't ask
any questions. Then, without undue
ceremony. he whispers in your ear
that he has been working as valet for
rich old man. who has used him very
mcanly. and because Of this he has
stolen lot of jewelry and only wants
to sell it for enough to pay his railroad
fare to Baltimore.
He then pulls from his pocket a col.
lection of watches, rings and stickpins
and offers any one of them for what
you have in your pocket, providing you
have at least three or four dollars.
Whether you buy any of the "stolen
jewels" or not, the man prays you in
a voice full of emotion not to tell the
police, at least not until he has time to
get out of town.
OF course, the jewels are nothing but
cheap limitations and the watches not
worth dollar at retail, but. neverthe-
less, the scheme has been worked sue
cessfully, and number Of people have
bought these stolen goods" and found
out later, much to their regret, that
they had been swlndled with ease.

FOOLS HIS HENS,
Ticking Egg Cures Restless Biddy OF
Setting Fever.

Timothy Varney, who lives three
miles east of lie Sueur, and keeps
about 200 hens, has been greatly trou-
bled, as have most people who keep
hens, by the persistent desire mani
tested by the fowls to sit, in season
and out, on eggs, stones or door knobs
or anything else that comes handy.
But he has got hold of a plan now
which he has quietly tried this season
with perfect success. and which he
warrants will cure the worst light
Brahma cluck that ever vexed the
heart of man of all desire to sit. and
all in less than three hours.
The cure consists Of a cheap watch,
with loud and clear tick to it. in
closed in case that is white and
shaped like an egg. When hen mani
tests desire to sit out of season he
gently places this bogus egg under her
sheltering breast and the egg does the
rest 1t ticks cheerfully away, and
soon the hen begins to show signs of
uncasiness and stirs the noisy egg
around with her bill. thinking, per-
haps, it Is already time for ii to hatch
and there is a chicken in it wanting to
get out. She grows more and more
nervous as the noise keeps up, and
soon jumps Off the nest and runs
around awhile to cool off, but returns
again to her self-imposed duty. 1t
gets worse and worse with her, and
she wiggles about and cackles, ruflles
her feathers and looks wild, until at
last, with frenzied squawk, she aban-
dons the nest for good and all. That
incubating fever is broken up com
pletcly.
Mr.. Varney finds use for half n
dozen Of these noisy eggs. and claims
that they pay for their cost over and
over during the year by keeping the
hens at the business of laying and not
permitting them to waste the golden
hours in useless incubating-St. Paul

Agriculture in Japan.

A report prepared by the American
Consul-General at Yokohama gives
some particulars as to agriculture in
Japan. He states that only 14,995,272
acres, or 1871 per cent. Of the total area
of the country. exclusive Of Formosa.
are in arabic cultivation. About 55
per cent Of the agricultural families
cultivate less than two acres each; 30
per cent, two acres to less than three
and three-fOurth acres, and Is per cent.
three and three-fourths acres to more.
1t is not clear whether the small hold
ers have grass land in addition to their
arabic land. AS to how families can
be supported on such minute farms, 1t
is pointed out that the Japanese stand.
ard Of living is comparatively low;
that the small farmer usually earns
wages apart from his land. or engages
in some such industry as silk-produc-
ing or spinning; that he cultivates and
manures his land very thoroughly; and
that he often raises two or more crops
in season on the same land. In the
warmer parts Of Japan. 1t is stated.
barley. indigo. beans and rape are
grown In succession on one piece Of
land In twelve months.

HOW A WATCH WORKS.
A Vibrating Wheel Takes the Place of
the Clocks Pendulum.

the Clocks Pendulum.
A watch differs from clock in it's
having vibrating wheel instead of
vibrating pendulum and as in a
clock gravity is always pulling the
pendulum down to the bottom Of its
arc, but does not fix 1t there because
the momentum acquired during its fall
from one side carries it up to an equal
height OH the other. so in a watch a
spring. generally spiral, surrounding
the axis OF the balance wheel, is al
ways pulling this toward middle
position from either side carries it lust
as far past on the other side. and the
spring has to begin its work again.
The balance wheel at each vibration
allows one tooth of the adjoining
wheel to pass, rs the pendulum does
in clock, and the record Of beats
is preserved by the wheel which fol-
lows. A handspring is used to keep
up the motion Of the watch instead
of the weight used in a clock, and as
spring acts equally well, whatever
be its position, watch keeps time,
although carried In the pocket or in
a moving ship. In winding up watch
one turn of the axle on which the key
Is fixed Is rendered equivalent by the
train Of wheels to about 400 turns or
beats Of the balance wheel, and thus
the exertion during few seconds of
the hand which winds up gives motion
for twenty-four or thirty hours.

Cowpeas for the Soil.

The plan Of sowing cowpeas to oc-
cupy the soil after harvesting fall
wheat or oats Is as good now as ever,
says Rural New Yorker With a ia.
vorable season the cowpeas make a
large growth and can be plowed under
in time for another crop of grain or
grass seeding. The soil is left in much
better shape than it would be If left in
stubble and weeds. The trouble about
the plan this year is the difficulty in
obtaining cowpea seed. There seems
to be little II any left in the country.
We are thinking of using white beans

Food for the Stock.


Those who have tested the use OF
cooked and uncooked foods for stock.
more particularly for swine. agree that
the uncooked foods are by far the most
digestible. This opinion would delight
the vegetarians who urge uncOoked
fruits and vegetables as being more
wholesome Yet there are two sides to
the story as usual. There seems to be
no denying the value of the uncOoked
food. with animals at any rate, but we
all know that a quantity of raw fruits
and vegetables eaten by humans during
the summer is apt to create disturb
ance Of the digestive organs. Not al
ways does II cause a looseness of the
bowels, but acdity of the stomach.
which Is very painful. Is 1t not fair to
assume that II uncooked food has this
effect on the human stomach that it
must have some bad effect on the stom-
ach of the farm animal
This may be little far-fetched, but
experience has taught the writer that.
without exception, one warm meal a
day during the winter is beneficial to
the animals. Even our horses have a
warm bran mash, and it has been we'll
cooked. too. The poultry have the
warm cooked mash and the hot corn
at night every other day, and thrive
on 1t. This being our experience, our
argument Is that animals should have
cooked food occasionally, but that
most of their meals should consist Of
food not cooked.

A QUEST.

Long since, there lived a man reputed
wise
tSomc better things were said of him,
some wOrse,.
Who made his life tireless quest to
know
The Why and Wherefore of the univ verse.
He wandered through solutions intricate,
And old and new philosophers he read:
This one converted, but another spake.
Aud made his faith apostasy instead.
His life was grit with vain analysis.
And subtle lisputations held in thrall
His soul, that wildly dreamed to overleap
The mystery Life offers to us all.
But when Age left him twisted, gray. and
He felt the barren purpose of his quest.
And longed to quite forget his knocking
doubts
And live his last. few, trembling days
at rest.
But Death had watched him with a
cynic's eye
Had marked his shutting step. his sight
grow dim,
And one still ,ening stood before his
chair,
And smiled, half kindly, as he beckoned
him.
One passing through certain field Of
graves
Mny find Il stone of rather ancient date,
Which bears these words, the last phil
Osophy,

Who conjured with the everlasting Why;
Delved deeply into science, creeds and

And learned this truth that Man is born

How Much Pork to Acre7

1t may be unusual to estimate the
amount Of pork that can be produced
from an acre Of certain crops, but 1t IL
claimed that an acre Of land In clover
will produce 800 pounds Of pork; peas
375 pounds; corn. $50 pounus; oats.
800 pounds: barley, APO pounds, and
wheat 225 pounds.
The value Of each crop on one acre.
when converted into pork, Is as fol-
lows: Glover. $50; corn. $2o4O; peas,
SIS: barley. $16.S0; oats. $500, and
wheat 0, estimating the pork Mt 4 cents
per pound.
OF course something depends on the
prices ruling for the crops. The
amount Of produce per acre required
to give the pork mentioned on an acre
is 900 pounds of wheat. 1850 pounds
of barley. 1920 pounds of oats, 2.24O
pounds Of corn, 1900 pounds Of peas.
and 10000 pounds Of green clover.
