The Java Python.

No creature of the jungles of Java is
more feared than the terrible python.
A hunter tells of his experiences with
one of these huge snakes. Cunning
one day near the WASH river, in the
interior of the island" he says, 81
watched a number of wild hogs coming
to the water to drink. Suddenly the
head of snake rose above the grass
and a hog sfuealed. A python had
seized full grown one, easily three
feet high at the shoulder, and thrown
two coils around the body Under the
tremendous pressure the hog seemed
to lengthen, and when the snake IN
coiled / saw only a strip of meat,
nothing distinguishable but the head.
l shot the snake. 1t was twelve feet
long and seven inches through, and
yet its coils had crushed the bones OF
it's prey like chips. There is no doubt
that hidden away in vast swamps Of
the interior are many anacondas of
enormous size. Parties have been
made up to hunt them, but the mala-
rious climate drives them back"

Science and Manufacture.

In the Zeiss glass works at Jena four
teen doctors of science are employees,
and these include mathematicians as
we'll as physicists. The great German
aniline color works employ more ''sci-
entific" than technical chemists At
one of them, for instance. fifty-five sci
entific and thirty-one technical chem
lists are engaged, at a second 145 scien-
tific chemists and It's technOlogists, at
a third 148 scientific chemists for sew
enty-five technicists. The research lab
oratories of these works are lavishly
equipped One of them possesses a Ii
brary of 1900 volumes. A second

ware These things are no doubt eX-
pensive, but these great factories still
manage to pay a dividend of from %
to 80 per cent. Every newly discovered
substance which is disable is patented.
and in this way Germany has managed
to establish a monopoly. The house Of
Baeyer possesses a thousand patents at
home and 1000 in foreign countries

A Spraying Calendar.

The Horticultural Department of
the Iowa State College at the Expert
ment Station has just issued an up
to date Spraying Calendar, which is
of the utmost importance to the hor-
ticulturlsts and fruit growers Of the
state. This calendar is prepared in
bulletin form and deals rather more
exhaustively than usGal with the
general treatment to be followed in
spraying apples, plums, grapes,
cherries, small fruit and vegetables,
Several pages are devoted to the
different spraying mixtures, and
careful directions are given as to
their preparation. In a short intro
duction Prof. S. A. Beach calls at
tention to the absolute necessity of
every fruit grower in Iowa spraying
his orchard trees. 1t is evident from
the keen demand for former Spray
ing Calendars of this station that
the farmers and horticulturists OF
iowa are awaking to this necessity
The above bulletin may be obtained
by any resident of the state, with
out charge, by applying to G. F.

Station, Ames, Iowa.

Prosperity.

That there is extraordinary pros
perity in this country is proven by
figures furnished by Dun's CONNER
cial agency.
The average selling price Of pro-
ducts has gone up perhaps 80 per
cent in the last decade.
The cost of living has gone up
even above the high prices of a year
ago.
There is a superstition that in
ventions and improvements in ma
chinery and increased facilities for
transportation bring constant de-
cine in prices.
But the fact is that prices gener-
ally are higher today than they have
been at any time in the last 25 years.
This is a fine showing of prosper
lity But for whom? :
/ Meats, controlled by the beef
trust, are higher than in 22 years.
sThat is prosperity for the Armours,
sSwifts and Cudahys.
Butter, eggs, fruit and vegetables,
controlled by the refrigerating pri-
ivate car system, are maintained at
the same rate of prices and mean
prosperity for the same crowd.
Clothing, controlled by the wool
ems trust, is higher.
+ Practically everything that the
people use and which is controlled
by trusts, is constantly mounting up
in price.
But are wages mounting up, too?
Every mancan answer the question
for himself. II the general level Of
wages in your line Of work has gone
up 80 per cent in the decade, you
are still holding your own. If they
have gone up more than that, you
are sharing in the prosperity. If
they have not gone up that much,
the prosperity Of the trusts is partly
coming out Of your pockets.
Genuine prosperity is not SO much
a matter of more dollars fof the few
as Of more just reward for the labor
which creates a all.-Des Moines

Cheap Ccartins.

There lived in the town Of Epping.
N. H., an old man who was noted for
his penuriousness. One winter the
schoolteacher boarded ut his house, and
she had n beau who came once week
to spend the evening with her. This,
of course. neccssitated heating and
lighting the parlor.
Nothing was said about this item Of
expense at the end of the term when
the teacher paid her board bill, but the
next day, happening to meet the young
man on the street, the old man accost-
ed him and, after few preliminaries
about the weather, remarked: "You
know we've been to some little extra
expense this winter running that fire
in the parlor for you and teacher. I
didn't say anything to her, but I
thought perhaps you'd be willing to
make 1t right
"Why, yes" replied the young man,
II am willing to pay anything reason
able, of course. How much do you
think you ought to have?'

the amount of digestible nutrients
they can get out of it; it will also
increase the amount they will eat
and this, as feeders well know, is a
very important consideration.
With reference to the heifers, our
correspondents letter is indefinite.
We are unable to understand wheth-
er he expects to sell these in June
or whether they are to be finished
later on. Heifers that only weigh
500 pounds now could hardly be
finished to advantage by June. 1t
would probably be better to market
them early in the fall and feed them
heavily throughout the summer
months. 1t would be well to pre-
pare darkened shed for them about
the first of July, thus giving them
an opportunity to seek shelter from
the flies. They will do most of their
grazing at night and to good advan-
tage. We would feed the heifers a
ration containing fully as large per
cent Of cotton seed meal as the one
suggested for the steers.
What has been said in this arti-
Gle is based upon experiments CON
Quoted at several of the experiment
stations in the surrounding states.
The result is general, where pas
ture land is valued at So or more

liberal quantities of concentrates,

1T that our correspondence blue grass
pasture is worth fully that much if
not more. Where grass is cheaper,
say where it can be secured for 81

cotton seed meal as literally as has
been suggested.

The MAKING oF TOYS.
An Art That Flourished Before the
Days OF History.

An Art That Flourished Before the
Days of History.
To tell the whole story of the art of
making toys it would first be necessary
to find some means of exploring the
ages that antedate history. The love of
toys is us instructive as it is universal
No barbarous land has yet been found
which was so uncivilized that its chill
dren did not have their playthings-
Shapeless and clumsy, perhaps. but still
capable OF fulfilling the purpose for
which they We're created-and there is
no record Of any time when little ones
have not possessed some kind Of pup
pets With which they might divert them
selves. Arclnteologists i'll delving among
the tombs of ancient Greece and Egypt
made the surprising discovery that the
art of toymaliing was not only known,
but had attained a high degree of de-
velopnent as far back as 5000 years
ago. IN those days both Grecian and
Egyptian children had their dolls. and
they We're jointGl dolls at that. AS
compared with the magniiicently attir
ed French conceptions of the present
time they were crude inventions, of
course. Their bodies We're made of
wood, of clay or of stone, and their lit
tie limbs We're wee laths fastened to
the body by means of wire. The
carving of the bodies, however, was not
badly done, and many II child since
that time has been glad to mother
a more unsightly doll.
BY the side of the dolls of the chill
dren of ancient Egypt the archaeolo-
gists unearthed other playthings which
children still love TO possess-the dolls
furniture, the utensils for cooking and,
what is even more interesting from an
antiquarians point of view. the articles
used in the making Of sacrifices, clever
| ly duplicated in miniature, that the chill
| dren might be able to conduct their
dolls through the ritual of their reli-
| gious exercises, a circumstance that sug-
| gests that the word "saerilege" had not
then the same meaning which it has to-
day.
1t is a long step from the year 5000
B. c. to the fifteenth or sixteenth cen
tury, but it was within that time that
the art of toymaking was both brought
to Il high state of perfection and then
once more forgotten. Like other arts,
it could not survive the neglect and
vandalism of that period known as the
dark ages Just what the children
used for playthings during these long
centuries of darkness and ignorance
one can only surlnise, but it is safe tc
say that they found things to plas
with, not only because the making OF
toys was one of the first objects tc
which man devoted his attentions wher
he plunged into the renewed activities
of. the renaissance, but also for til,
reason that, as the psychologists have
recently taught us, playthings are ant

Uniforms to Scare the Enemy.

Red uniforms We're first adopted by
the Emperor Valerius MaXimus in or
der that the Roman soldiers might not
be frightened by the sight of their own
blood. 10 this day the children of
England are told that this u the reason
why French troops wear red trousers,
and French children are taught the
same notion respecting the red coats
of the British. The legonaries of an
cient Rome wore the skins of bears on
the field of battle to make them look
fierce. For the same reason they put
figures of frightful beasts on their
shields and helmets. From this odd
custom spring modern crests and ar
mortal bearings. The idea of soaring
the enemy by such devices has been
perpetuated up to quite recent times.
Tall bearskin hats were originally
adopted to make them look taller by
The French cuirassiers, each Of whom
carried handful of grenades for scat
tering among the ranks OF their foe.
