POSTAGE STAMP TONGUE.
Disorder Resulting from the Unclean
Habit of Licking the
Stamps.

"A number of ailments, some of them
extremely dangerous, are comprised
under the general head of postage
stamp tongue" said a physician. Post
age-stamp tongue, in word, is any
disorder contracted from the licking
OF postage stamps.
Three or four persons week visit
me with postage-stamp tongues. They
have throat trouble, or a skin dis
ease, or a pulmonary complaint,
brought on by the reckless habit of
stamp licking.
"A stamp should never be licked, as
its gummed surface is always squirm-
ing and pulsating with germs. If any
licking is TO be done, let ii be applied
to the right-hand corner of the en-
velope, where the stamp goes, for there
the germs are apt TO be sparser.
ITO be safe, though, the tongue
should never be applied to either en-
velope or stamp. A damp sponge
should be used in the tongues stead.

The voice of this bird is very much
like a human voice, far more so than

Mineur or Mino. II learns much more
readily than the parrot and is as clever
at initiating as the American hooking
bird. 1t whistles in exact imitation OF
its master and sings whole songs
through without making mistake.
When it was first purchased it could
only talk in Siamese, but in a short
while picked up many sentences OF
English.
The master of this cunning songster
always summons his servants to him
by calling boy" The mineur learned
to do the same thing, with the result
that the servant was sent on a fool
errand many times. None could tel
whether the master called boy OF
the mineur. This greatly annoyed the
servant. whose owner told him thai

reports threatens to do serious damage
to the crop. In some instances growers
say they are unable to make definite es-

On the other hand there are great

Paws TO Stick TO q CrOD.

Reports from the potato growing sec
tions in Texas indicate much smaller
acreage than last year, and at many
places they have dropped out entirely
this season. On an average shipping
will be from one to two weeks late, and
While ordinarily that might be consider
ed against the Texas growers, this season
is an exception. The potato crop north
Of Texas in Indian territory, Oklahoma,
Kansas and further east, is also cores
pondngly late. 1t is a reasonable Ger.
tainty that the Texas potato crop will be
marketed and out of the way before Ok
lahoma, Indian territory and other sec
tions will be ready. 1t looks like safe
guess TO say that the growers who put
out potatoes in Texas this year will
make big money on the venture.
The Packer has for years urged grow
ers to diversity. 1t is not a good thing
to run entirely to potatoes, but it is just
as bad for the grower TO plant cotton
only. Occasionally season is bound to
be unfavorable for any commodity, and
cotton growers realize this as well as
those engaged in the production of other
crops. Last year was disastrous for the
Texas potato grower. Many Of them
stampeded, with the result Of the present
outlook, that those who put out potatoes
in Texas this year will come out to the
good in a highly satisfactory way.
Here is another illustration to back w
The Packers contention, oft times re
peated that the only proper course fol
the grower is to stick to diversified crops
year in and year out. BY so doing grow
ing cannot help but be profitable.-Chi
cago Packer.

The Wool Situation.

Silberman Bros. of Chicago on the
wool situation, say:
The London auction wool sale opened
the eighth of the present month, and on
that day we received cablegram with
the following information "Merino and
fine crossbreds tendency upwards; coarse
crossbreds from 5 to 712 per cent ad-
vance. Wool taken by European and
continental buyers and very little for
America"
This. in itself, is an indication that
foreign manufacturers are busy and re-
oure the wool for consumption, which
naturally will keep prices up to to such
a standard that America will not be able
to import cheap wool, as a great many
manufacturers have been calculating
lately.
Owing to the above circumstances we
can safely say that We need not fear
any rapid decline in this country, as
good woods will be wanted soon and
bring top prices.
The season seems TO be backward or
account of the unreasonable weather
and so far only small quantities have
reached our market What woods have
arrived were sold readily al good prices
Medium and fine wool of good staple
are the best selling grades, and we nov
have many orders on hand which we arr
as yet unable to ill owing to the scan
receipts of new wool.
They quote woods from all bright WOO
sections as follows Fine delaine, 26-2oc
fine clothing, % Csc; fine medium or :
blood, 2S-30c; medium "a and % blood
3O-32c; low combing, 20 2Sc; braid, 25-27C

Out there on the farm they're busy. In
my fancy ] can still
See the harrow where it levels the long
burrows on the hill;
can seem to hear the chatter of the
black birds as they fly
And the wood smoke still is doubtless
curling upward to the sky,
And the blossoms must be bursting
there on many an orchard tree;
They are busy out there planting-and
they've all forgotten me-
Once boy, care free, untroubled, l de-
tested labor there
And stood on the rounded hill top,
breathing unpolluted air;
] can seem to see the cornfield, with its
many criss-crossed rows,
And the straw man in the middle giving
warming to the crows.
Others hoed while / was resting under
meath some friendly tree
All, to-day no doubt they're hoeing still
and never missing me.

A MAN OF MANY FRIENDS.
The Winning Kindness of Sir Henry

1t was characteristic of the late Sir

But il would have been asking too much

was often a case of going it blind" on
the part of the actor.
A certain New Yorker arriving in Lon
don found an invitation from Sir Henry
TO one of the famous suppers in the
Beefsteak room of the Lyceum theater.
He accepted the invitation with de-
light. had as good time as the guests
at these gatherings invariably did, and
ultimately became a close friend Of the
actor.
But neither at that first supper nor al
any time later did his host say wore
70 explain how he happened 10 invite
man he had never met before. So at last
his American friend decided to ques'
ton him on the subject.
Tell me, Irving" he said, how olc
you happen 10 ask me TO take supper
with you ten years ago in London? I've
often wondered why you did il"
so have l." answered the actor
blandly. "and TO save my life was never
able to recall what the reason was. Blu
