A Mighty Desert Wind.

The samiel is a hot, noxious cleo
trical wind which passes over the sandy
deserts of Arabia and Africa. 1t moves
with the quickness of lightning and
passes in narrow currents for a few
minutes at a time. 1t deals instant
death to every man or beast happening

composes them that their limbs fall

ed by thick haze in the horizon, and

ORDER OF The GARTER
It's Alleged Ballroom Origin Only
Legendary

The origin of the Order OF the Golden
Fleece is, like that of the Garter,
shroudei in mystery. Very few mod

to the vulgar tradition. wholly unsup-
ported by any authority, thai at a court
ball given by Edward III. a lady. sup

ing il up and observing some of his
courtiers 10 smile as though they
thought he had not obtained this favor
merely by accident, exclaimed in Il
loud voice. ''Honi soft qui NAL Y penSe.'
There is another opinion which traces
the origin Of this order, which, accord
ing to The learned seldom, exceeds in
majesty. honor and fame all the chiv-
alrous orders in the world" to Richard
Occur de Lion having upon the 0cca-
sion of some warIike expedition during
his wars in Palestine chosen a leathern
thonged garter as the distinctive mark
of his ~partisans. Yet another theory
ascribes the foundation of the order TO
the fact that Edward at the battle of
Crecy issued his garter as q signal for
battle. which, proving successful. deter.
mined him to institute the order in
memory of the event.
Both these opinions are to a certain
extent feasible, and the first is mate

n WATER SPIRIT.
Origin of Odd Beliefs About Resct
ing Drowning Persons.

la Great Britain the belief that you
must not rescue a drowning person is
most prevalent in Cornwall and vari-
Gus parts of Scotland. The French
sailor and the boatman of the Danube
bow to the decree, together with the
Russians, and let the people drown.
DR.. Taylor In his primitive Gull
ture" declares this lingering fondness
for this old creed is because the water
spirit IS angry at being despoiled of its
victim, and should the unlucky person
who has dared to Illustrate him trust
himself to the waters power he will
drown as sure as fate.
The Bohemian fisherman shrinks
from snatchlng a drowning man from
the waters, fearing the water demon
will take away his luck in fishing and
drown him before he gets to shore with
the would be victim. In Germany
when some M is drowned they say,
''The river spirit claims its yearly sac
%rifice," or. The nix has taken him."
The belief is current not alone in
those countries above mentioned, but
the K~amchatkans rather than help a
man out of the water would force him
under. and il he should escape to the
shore no n would dare receive him
into his house or dare to give him food.
He is supposed to be dead after once
falling into the water.

The chatting of hay and mingIing il

THE TREE.
How the BARK Is Gathered and Pre-
pared For Use.

How the Bark Is IA and Pre-
pared For Use.
The cinnamon tree grows to a height
of from twenty to thirty feet and ~
sometimes eighteen inches in thickness
The leaves are from four to six inches
In length, oval shaped and marked
with three principal nerves. They taste
very much like cloves. Cinnamon flow
ers are OF a beautiful silky gray ON the
outside and a light yellow on the in
side. The fruit is a small acorn shaped
drupe. and when ripe it is quite brown.
1t Is, however, the bark OF the CHINA
mon tree that makes it valuable. The
where they have two seasons of CHINA
mon harvest. The first season begins
In April and the last in November. The
branches of three to five years growth
are cut down. and the epidermis is
carefully scraped away. Then the
bark is ripped up lengthwise with a
knife and gradually loosened until 1t
may be easily removed.
The slices of bark are then placed In
the sun to dry, and Is they dry they
curl up into quilts. The next thing is
to examine and arrange the cinnamon
according to its quality. The persons
whose work 1t Is to examine the CHINA
mon are obliged for this purpose to
taste and chew 1t, although in a short
time it produces a very painful effect
on their mouths and tongues.
As the cinnamon quilts are examined
the smaller ones are inserted into the
larger, and the whole is then tied up In
bundles weighing about Lightweight
pounds each.
In Ceylon the oil Of cinnamon is usu-
ally prepared by grinding the coarsesf
pieces Of bark. soaking this powder
In sea water for two or three days and
then distilling. Two oils pass over, one
lighter the other heavier than water.

Surgery and the Anatomists In the
olden Days.
For a long time Alexandria was the
only medical center of the world, and
the physician Galen, born about 1870
A. D., had to journey from Rome to
the African city even to see a skeleton.
He sent his students to the German
battlefields to dissect the bodies of the
national enemies. while he himself used
apes as most resembling human beings.
Human dissection was revived in Bo-
togna In the fourteenth century, where

Or of anatomy, undoubtedly one of the
first. Leonardo da Vinci, painter Of
"The Last Supper" was a great anat-
omlst, but dissection had fallen into
disuse when Vesalius finally revived

century.
Even in comparatively modern times
anatomists have been the object Of at
tacks by the populace. In 1765 DIR.

THE HORSE BREEDER

In buying new collars for a horse do
not get them too large, a American
Agriculturist. Soak the collars In wa
ter overnight, and in the morning wipe
of the surplus water, her put them
On. Draw the names up tightly so the
collar fits closely all around the neck,
and work the horse moderately all day.
BY night the collar will be fitted to
the horses shoulders as perfectly as 1t
Is possible to do. If the collar is fitted
and the horse Is fat it will have to be
soaked and refitted as the season adj
vances and the horse works down thin
In flesh. The use of pads under the col
lar when the horse becomes thin is not
advisable. as they make the shoulders
tender instead of hardening them. A
close fitting collar, If clean and soft,
will not make sore shoulders IL the
horse Is well groomed. Always see
that the hame straps are buckled
tightly.
Brushing the Horse.
The coat of a horse should not be
brushed when 1t Is wet or damp from
rain or with sweat. 1t cannot be
cleansed by brushing when In his
state, and to brush it then merely
means plastering down the hairs OF
the coat, says American C%ultivator.
When horses whose coats are wet are
dressed down they should be well rub
bed with straw wisps. These serve
admirably both to dry the coat and to
remove superficial mud and dirt. Thu
coat should not be brushed until It has
become thoroughly dry. Though 1t Is
. good and advisable plan to dress
down horses when they return wet and
dirty from their work, 1t is not abso-
lutely necessary to do 50.
The Horses Feet.
Sound feet r the basis for a good
horse. You cannot keep him In such .
condition If you permit him to stand in
. filthy stable.
Exercise the Farm Team.
As far as possible manage to uss
your horses at least . little every day
In winter. Steady everyday work
tends to keep them sound and In good
health.

of Pearl. Breaking In the door
of her room he shot the girl through
the heart and then shot himself. When
help arrived Styer was found with his
head on the girls breast, she dead
