SWINGING ROCK FIRMLY FIXED.
South American Natural Wonder De-
fled Dictator of Argentine.


One of the strangest of natural
wonders OF South America, is the
swinging rock of Tandil ia piedra
hovediza), says the Philadelphia Rec
ord The stone lies about half an
hours walk from the city of Tandil,
province of Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, upon the highest summit OF
a little rocky ridge. When seen from
the ravine it has the form of a giant
pyramid, while from another view 1t
resembles an enormous cone. Ii Is
twenty-one feet long and twenty-eight
feet high, and its weight is judged to
be about 1880 hundredweight, or
about 627 tons. From the distance the
stone presents a peculiar aspect. 1t Is
so highly poised on the rocky slope
that it seems as If we were watching
stone roll down the hill and resting
for a second upon a very small base.
But when we approach this swinging
rock we are astonished by a new
wonder. We can set the stone in mo-
ton by merely pushing it with the
hand. Very often the traveller is
spared even the trouble of pushing
the stone, as the wind will cause II
to swing.
Early in the nineteenth century the
Argentine Republic was ruled by the
dictator Rosa with unparalleled cruel
ty for about twenty-five years. To
show his supreme power the tyrant
ordered that the stone be encircled
with ropes and many horses to be
harnessed to these ropes--but the
stone could not be moved one inch
from it's resting place.

Quoted to a Purpose.

The private secretary of the emil
nent statesman dropped a polite note
to the railway magnate, suggesting
that the eminent statesman would be
pleased to be favored with an annual
pass. But the railway magnate, hav-
ing formulated new policy and also
having some wit, returned the applica-
ton with a printed slip containing
the texts: Suffer not man to
pass" and $50 he paid the fare and
went"
Il guess that will hold him." chuck
led the railway magnate.
But the private secretary OF the
eminent statesman approached a
railway magnate who operated par
allel line, and soon was able to drop
a brief note to the first magnate. The
brief note consisted of the simple
text:
And he passed by on the other
side"

Too Cheap.

An Omaha man who claims he can
live on nine cents day has received
hundreds of letters from women who
want to marry him. This seems to
prove the statement that there are a
great many women in this: country
who would be glad to marry if they
could afford to support a husband.
Many of these women presumably
earn almost enough to warrant them
in securing one of these Injuries, and
man who can be fed for 63 cents a
week, or, something like $3.50 a
month, strongly appeals to them.
At the same time Scent day man
seems to be too much of bargain
to be really attractive to the careful
purchaser,-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

further advance in prices for rubber,

SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED :?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
All Thinking Men Readily Recognize
Its Advantages.

"a horse is a valuable asset, and
He should be well fed comfortably
stabbed, carefully groomed and clipped
in the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work we'll
and improve in value. A horse lives
under artificial conditions. In his
wild state he required none of these
attentions, for he was able to look
out for himself. The domesticated
animal, being worked under condi-
lions that are In themselves artificial,
must be kept in condition for such
work.
The clipping of horse in the early,
spring Is now conceded by all the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to horses well being as shoeing
him or giving him comfortable bed!
to lie on. Farmers in England and
France have been clipping their
horses for many years and American
farmers are not slow to realize it's
advantages. A clipped horse dries
out rapidly after a hard days work,
and will rest comfortably and be re-
freshed for the work the following
day. An unclipped horse is liable to
catch the heaves, pneumonia and all
sorts of colds, rheumatism, etc More
especially Is this so in the early
spring, when his hair Is long and he
is soft" II worked hard he will perl
spire freely and the moisture will be.

| that should 60 to nourish him will bel

! ing constantly taken from his body
| by the mass of cold wet hair. IL,
clipped, the perspiration will eyapor-
ate almost as soon as secreted, and
when put In the stable he rests com
! fortably and his food does him good.
| Some years ago a Buffalo street car
company tested the value of clipping
in the following manner. They own
! ed 500 horses, and $50 of these were
| clipped early in the spring and $50
were not clipped. careful record
was kept of results and it was found
! that of the $50 unclipped horses 1853
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia while of the $50 clipped not
one case of sickness was reported.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very good health If he did hard man
ual work clothed with heavy under
wear, a heavy suit and fur overcoat,
and after perspiring freely, as he
naturally would go to sleep without
removing same. 1t is just as ridicu-
lous to expect horse to be in perfect
health if worked under the same con-
ditions.
If you would get the best returns
from your Investment in your horse,
treat him right, and be sure and

AMERICAN
PORK WAR ENDED
American Product to Be Ad-

Agreement.

As result of negotiations between
the Italian and Washington govern
ments, important concezs sions in favor
Of American meat products at Italian
ports have been made. Some month. 3
ago the microscopic examination OF
pork intended for Italian markets was
discontinued by the Department OF
Agriculture, because the examination
seemed useless. The Italian authorities
insisted on making their own micro
scopic examination for trichiuae, and
charged the expense TO the American
hrm, they would not recognize the
certificate of such examination by the
United States authorities Finally the
Italian government refused to admit
American pork.
The matter was referred TO the State
Department for discussion between the
TWO governments. The United states
inspectors had been sending meat un-
der the white certificate" UEly. which
attests that the meat is sound and
wholesome and fit for food. but does
not certify that IL is free Of triehinae
