A Thirsty Woodchuck.

One OF the best story tellers of HIS
time was Han Thompson of Auburn,
Me. The following is what Han told
of what he and his brother John tried
to do in the way of catching a wood
chuck: They had tried quite a number
Of times to capture the animal. but un.
successfully. At last they decided to
drown him out SO. procuring four
pals. each took two, and they carried
water for two solid hours and poured
it into the hole in the ground in which
the said chuck had taken up his
abode. Getting tired, they sat down
After about half an hour the wood
chuck cautiously left the hole and de
liberately walked down to the brook
and took a long drink Of water anG
then scooted, much to the disgust of the
two boys.-Boston Herald.

All decay Of the teeth begins from
without. Consequently if the teeth's
surfaces be kept scrupulously clean
they cannot decay. Let the child early
acquire the habit of using 4 small
toothbrush dipped into chalk favored
with some aromatic drug, and let it un-
derstand that the places most needing
the brush are those between the teeth
That is the place where decay almos,
invariably appears. Mucous secretionS
and secretionS OF food are always found
between the teeth after a meal. They
may be removed with a toothpick. L
is almost al art to use a toothpick
One must beware of iEjuring the feshy
parts and leaving splinters, which il
some cases may cause the loss of {

together avoided Those of dull ant

RIDING 4 CAMEL.
More Convenient and Less Tirins
Than Horseback Riding.

=
Camel riding In the desert Of Sahara
is not SO very fatiguing after one has
learned how 4 veteran traveller in
that district describes the process:
Each riding camel has a bride, or
rather halter. of plated leather like
an ordinary halter. and the camel is
guided as a horse would be If riding
him with one rein only. The saddle is
q most elaborate affair. To adjust
one properly on a camefs hump is an
art extremely difficult to master. First
two cushions Of leather. stuffed with
grass straw. are placed on the animals
hump. and on these is set the saddle.
This latter consists of two wooden
forks. one in front and one behind. con-
nected by side board Above this is
placed the seat of the saddle. which is
built like square saucer. The tops Of
| the wooden forks rising in front and
behind form two SaddlehornS. and.
| once one has negotiated his way into
| the saucer and Installed the feet and
| legs by letting them. from the knee
| downward. hang over the front. one is
pretty safe from falling out. Cushions
| and rugs placed in this saucerlike de-
| preston add to the comfort. The sad
| die is secured by wide girth and also
by a shoulder strap and girth at the
back that takes the place Of crupper.
| There are, Of course. no stirrups. the
| foot merely hanging over the front
| After one has learned to avoid an oc.
| casional dig in the middle of the back
| from the hindmost horn and has be-
| come accustomed to the weight Of the
| legs hanging over the front, camel rid
ing is very comfortable and far less
| firing than horseback riding. especially
| as ones position can be varied in many
ways by riding sidesaddle or crossing
| the legs on the cameIs neck. and sc
| forth The long swinging gait is
fairly easy. and one can move about
on cameIs back in manner thai
would startle any ordinary horse.
'On the saddle are carried u pair o.
leather saddlebags. wherein l carry
books. maps instruments. cartridges
lunch and the like From the horns O
the saddle are hung rifle. field glasses
prismatic compass and water bottle
Altogether it is 4 pretty complete out
fit and only equaled by Chinese chat

| time"

THE MANURE sPREADER.
It's Modern Type Particularly Fitted
to Western Needs.

to Western Needs.
The manure spreader is particularly
adapted to western conditions. The
first make of manure spreader was for
a long time upon the market without
being called for to any great extent.
The smaller fields of the New England
and middle states did not call SO
strongly as do the western prairies
for an implement that will scatter
manure over large areas with but little
manual labor and with great economy
in time. according to a writer in the
Northwestern AgricuIturist, who sets
forth the advantages of the spreader
as follows:
Every practical farmer knows how
great the labor appears for one to go
upon even forty acre field and COM
mence to spread the manure upon it
with the thought of covering the whole
forty by hand spreading. Forty acres
is but a small part of some Of our
western farms.
Modern Thought and Practice.
1t is not practical thing today for
farmers to think of maintaining and
increasing the fertility Of their land
by means of stable manure alone. The
modern thought and practice are to ma
nure the land. if need be. for the first
growth Of the clover plant and then to
top dress the clover field with manure.
thinly and evenly spread.
Much manure has been wasted by
| using it too heavily on small areas.
| The best information today leads us
to understand that manure can be used
| with economy if spread less thickly
and more evenly. A manure spreadel
will distribute the manure far better
! than any one can do it by hand, even
| though he be very skiIIful at it
/ The Old and the New spreader.
| The old spreader to which we have
! before referred carried a comparatively
/ small load. In the eyes of the western
farmer it looked too much like 9
/ wheelba1row. AS soon as these ma
| nure spreaders We're introduced in the
west the manufacturers began to givt
| them a large and capacious body fol
the holding of a good large load O
manure. In some cases the spreade
carries such a large load and has sucl
machinery attachment that it re
quires three horses TO handle it witt
| advantage Other spreaders of almos
if not quite equal capacity can be op
Grated with two good sized horses.
The latest types Of manure spreader
are strongly made and rarely eve
cause annoyance by undue breakage
Various factories are building then
and each wing with the other to max
more perfect machine for this pun
pose. The manure spreader will he'll

SACRED ANIMALS.
fhc Way the Brute World Is Regard.
ed by Natives of India.

midas pets are not royal but celes-
aal. To write of animals in the land
(which keeps its Nedic prayers and for
gets the names of its emperors, one
must leave solid ground and ascend to
heaven, must speak in poetry, not prose
In hyperbole rather than in plain
speech. The question of animals can
not, indeed, be soberly treated. Every
where one sees acts toward them that
can be explained only by their sacred
and legendary Importance. One can
scarcely believe ones senses. This at
titude is not the fantasy of Il moment
nor the bette blanche, SO to speak. of a
single author. 1t is the accumulated
national delirium Of thousands of
years. To detach such animal worship
from Indian life is to tear the rug to
pieces, and we can weave nothing more
beautiful.
The place held by these creatures in
India is different from that accorded
them in any other country Every ami
NAL is looked upon as but the covering
Of a spirit Is not its mind with God
Are not its auras and vibrations fa1
purer than ours? May not even the
soul Of our grandmother look from its
eyes? May not we ourselves return te
lower than its state if we give it no1
reverence? Such conceptions are no
called from obsolete thought, but from
the vibrant lip and life of India today

In Pocket Picking.
Edwin Cowles long editor of the
Cleveland Leader numbered among
his accomplishments that of pocket
picking OF course he picked pockets
as an amateur only. but it is doubtful
whether there ever was a professional
who could play the light fingered game
more skillfully than the able editor did
occasionally for fun
It was during the administration OF
mayor who had been elected as a
protege OF NJ A. Hanna who was then
starting in Cleveland upon the political
career which gave him national prom
inence. that the Leader began a CRU
SADIE against vice. Articles We're pub
lished daily in which it was asserted
that the city was full of thieves, gam
blers and other crooks. and the mayor
was taken severely to task for not hav-
ing them driven away Hanna, being
