now Emery n aunrrrNa.

Emery comes from the island Of
Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean
whence It has been exported for the
last two centuries or more. The beds
are In the northeast Of the island, the
deposit descending Into some Of the
neighboring Islands, the emery being
found In lenticular masses, resting on
layers Of schist In limestone, almost
Identical with Parian marble, the fin-
est marble known, which comes from
the island of Paros, close by. There
are about 800 men engaged in the
trade. all Of whom have to be married
before they are admitted to the fra
ternity. The material is much too hard
to be dug out or even blasted. Great
fires are lighted round the blocks till
the natural cracks expand with the
heat, and levers are then inserted to
pry them apart.
This system Is continued until the
blocks are reduced In size to masses Of
o cubic foot or less, and they are then
shipped as If they were Goals. There
are said to be 100000 tons yet avail
able at Naxos. It Is one of the hard
est substances yet known coming next
to the diamond. and among its crystal
line forms known to the jewelers. are
the ruby and the sapphire.

The Coyote,

One of the most interesting wild ami.
mails is the prairie wolf, known in
Mexico as the coyote and in the old
world as the jackal. 1t Is thirty-six to
forty inches long, with a tail measur-
ing sixteen to eighteen inches in length.
The color is usually dull, yellowish
gray on the back and sides, with black
cloudings. The underpart and inside
of the limbs are of dirty white tint
The voice is sort Of swapping bark,
and for this reason the animal Is
known as the barking WOLF 1t Is
found on the western plains, extend
ing from Mexico to latitude 55 degrees
north. 1t hunts in packs and Is very
feet

RakinE Grass After Moving.

Some persons advise raking after
each moving. l do not, because the
clippings drop down into the grass and
form a mulch, which l consider Of
great benefit. They also help to fer
tiliSe the soil. The lawn that is not
moved often enough will not look we'll
after you have been over it with the
mower, because there was growth
enough to partially hide the sward up
on which it falls. This will wither and
turn brown in day or two and great
ly detract from the beauty of the lawn.
But if you keep your lawn well moved
and that means going over it at least
three times a week in ordinary sea-
sons-the amount clipped off at each
moving will be so slight that there
will not be enough of it to show. Let
the knife blades be set high enough to
leave at least two inches of the foil.

tuberculosis, according 10 the sixth
biennial report OF S. B. Nelson Of
Pullman, state veterinarian of Wash
ington, synopsis Of which appears
In the Yakima Republic, is present
among the cattle of the state to a
serious extent, and about 19 per cent
Of the 1856 cows examined have
shown traces of the disease. This
large percentage was largely due to
the prevalence of the disease in four
herds, although Ss herds out Of to-
tai of 81 tested were free from the
disease. while in 50 there were cattle
affected.
on the whole, however, DR.. Nelson
finds that the stock interests of the
state are in excellent condition, and
the cattle raisers and farmers are i'm
mediately communicating with the
office whenever any illness affect
their stock. During the last two
years Il, 637 animals were examined,
Of which 5S9S were horses, S247
cattle, 6s1 sheep and 4S52 hogs. This
is an increase of 2123 over the exam
nations of the two previous years.
Diseases that have been treated
have been largely glanders, tubercu-
losis, scabies. actenomycosis, hog
cholera and blackleg. There were 107
horses destroyed during the two
years for glanders, and the great ma
jority of these came from the tier OF
counties lying just east of the Column
bia river. DR.. Nelson believes that
this is caused by the newly settled
state of these counties, so that the
stockmen and farmers are ignorant
Of the contagious nature of the dis
ease.
Scabies has been practically stamp
ed out of the state by the cooperation
of owners. Actenomycosis, or lumpy
jaw. has been given great attention
by the office, as but two persons In
the state have contracted the disease
during 1906. 1t is one of the most
extensive diseases that the office has
to contend with. as there is usually
but one animal in herd affected and
the cost of tracing it is many times
the value of the animal.
Hog cholera has broken out seri-
ously twice during the past two years
once at Spokane and once at Port
Townsend. Daily destruction of all
diseased animals, with strict quaran-
tine and thorough disinfection, has
prevented the disease from becoming
as serious as in the eastern states.
RIackIee has not been dangerous
as vaccine has been furnished stock
men. and the young animals have been
vaccinated both in the spring and
fall.
The law governing the importation
of stock into the state was amended
bv the last legislature, so that the
state veterinarian may issue special
permits for stock that has not been
examined to be brought into the state
and examined after their arrival,
Under this provision 6O4 horses, 22Z
cows and rs hogs were examined and
s116s.55 was collected as fees ana
turned over to the state treasurer.
The state appropriation came to
s75OO. and expenditures for salaries
and expenses totaled s6175.57, leav-
ing a balance of s1324.4S.
Appended to the report is a copy
of the laws passed by the legislature
and governing the office of state
veterinarian.

Lighting q Pipe.

A smoker who started to light his
pipe on the street turned to his COM
panion and said; "A man told me the
other day how to light an ordinary
match In a high wind. Let me show
you"
There was a stiff breeze blowing.
The demonstration took from his pocket
an envelope, struck parlor match on
a rail and shielded II inside of the en-
velope, facing the wind as he did so.
The match burned with hardly flick
er, and the man who held 1t puffed on
his pipe with great satisfaction.
That's trick worth knowing" he
remarked. Here's another. Some
times you get a spark on top of your
pipe which the most vigorous putting
fails to spread over the surface of the
tobacco. In that case take a piece Of
paper of almost any kind and hold 1t
down in the spark. This will spread
the fire and give you the sort Of light
pipe smoker wants" - Providence

way to do it by Topping off and cutting
down. \ cut of 10 per cent was made
in wages ana salaries, and the $500 per
