Horse and Dog Ment.

In 1906 there were slaughtered for
food in the Kingdom OF Saxony 1892
horses and 1886 dogs. This was an In
crease of 224 horses and 1873 dogs over
the year 1905.
In the whole empire In 1906, accord
there were slaughtered for food 1872
600 horses, and it Is estimated that
about 1000 dogs go into food In the
empire annually.
"Horsehesh is very generally adver-
tised In the German newspapers es-
pecially in those of the large industrial
centers," says United States Consul
lift, land most German cities have at
least one market which makes 1t a spe-
cialty, claiming for 1t higher percent
age Of nourishment than that Of either
beef, veal mutton or pork.
"Neither is it unusual to find adver
tisements of dog meat or for the pur-
chase of dogs for slaughter. Nor Is 1t
possible to read the German newspa-
pers for any length OF time without
coming to the conclusion that great
many dogs are killed and eaten that do
not give up their lives under official In
spection. ~
News items detailing the arrest,
trial, conviction and punishment by
fine or Imprisonment OF men charged
with killing and eating dogs that be-
longed to others, sometimes valuable
animals or cherished household pets,
are not infrequent."

An Organised HoIaup.

An English Christmas isn't a saen-
gerfest; It's beggingfest. The band
plays, but 1t plays with one hand
while the other is out for coin. The
boys and men sing Christmas hymns
and then take a collection. and the
moon may be shining, but you can't
see It through the fog. Some of the
railway stations are decorated, and
you've scarcely had time to remark
that you think it's a very beautiful
custom when an itching palm appears
between you and the holly. The post
man says Merry Christmas" and
waits for you to be generous and the
lamplighter and the paper boy and the
man who delivers groceries and the
boy from the cake shop. Porters follow
you wherever you 60, and servants
whom you never saw before bob UP In
numbers. And out In the street when
ever you hear eny one say Merry
Christmas" you mechanically put your
hand in our pocket 1t Isn't Christ
mas; it's an organized holdup-Bohe-
milan.

A good story Is told Of a couple of
farmers living a few miles apart. One
day one called on the other, happening
around at dinner time. The person cali

enjoying his dinner. The visitor drew

ADVANCED WOMEN OF BURMA.
Clever, Shrevvd and Industrious, All
of Which Their Husbands Are Not.

Clever, Shre,vd and Industrious, All
of which Their Husbands Are Not.
The Burmese woman Is clever, witty,
well informed, one of the shrewdest of
business persons, usually an excellent
housekeeper as well as a good mer-
chant, says Charles e. Russell in Har-
per's. Her two errors seem to be, first.
In marrying John Burman, who Is gen.
orally lazy and unworthy Of her; and
second, In submitting to the medical
tomfooiery that the Burmese for all
their intelligence, still practice. L
might add for a third, If one more be
needed, the smoking of the Burmese
cigarette. which tends to twist out of
shape her handsome mouth. This cigar
cite, by the way, is monstrous thing.
often eighteen inches In length and an
inch and quarter In diameter.
The Burmese woman not only man.
ages all the material interests of her
household but she keeps the Buddhist
faith Intact. Without her influence ii
may be doubted If John Burman would
care very much. He is too indolent
and too fond of his ease in smooth
water. But the women are strict In
their performance of religious duties:
you can see them at all hours PRAYING
In the shrines where not often you see
the men. If this theory about the wom-
en- is correct, 1t is wonderful testimony
to their strength of mind, for Bud
dhism in Burma is rock-ribbed and ap-
parently unassailable; and then, In the
last analysis, it must be to the women
that we owe the beautiful pagodas, the
excellent monasteries and the gemlike
shrines that dot this pleasant country.

EAGLE DROPS CHILD INTO TREE.

Its TaIons Became Fixed I'm the
Dress of Little One.
One of the pair of giant bald eagles
that nest In dead chestnut tree on
Waukhaw mountain, near Caldwell, N.
j., carried 3-year-old Gladys vreeland
to the top of a tall hemlock tree Sat
urday morning and dropped her into
Its branches, according to the story told
by her father, John Milton vreeland,
a farmer, says the New York World.
The child weighs forty pounds and,
according to the fathers story, the
great bird was barely able to maintain
its flight under the weight. Its carry
ing off of the girl was more than half
involuntary, It's talons having become
caught in her clothing when she at
tempted to save a hen from the eagle
vreeland said the bird had been soar
ing over his chicken run for more than
az hour. He saw it swoop downward
into a clump of currant bushes In the
bushes the eagle pounced upon a hen,
but could not rise with its prey be-
cause of the thick foliage The tapping
of the great wings attracted the child
to the spot and when she saw the hen
held by the eagle she seized stick and
began to belabor the marauder.
The eagle sprung on her, sinking Its
talons into her dress, the sharp claws
tearing her flesh. Her cries brought
her father running from a field near
by. At sight of lie man the bird at
tempted to rise, dragging the child,
struggling. after ii. Vreeland believes
that the birds talons became entangled
in the girls dress and that II could not
free itself. The two eagles have been
familiar to the nelgbborhood since
1908, but never had they been known
to attack human beings before.
The great bird rose slowly and labori-
ously, Its wings beating the air wildly
and the child screaming with terror.
vreeland sprang forward. but before he
got within reach the bird had lifted
Itself and its precious burden above
him and was slowly rising higher and
higher. The child continued to struggle
and the bird seemed trying to free It
self
1t had reached the top of a tall hem
lock tree when the struggles of the girl
rent her dress ut the left shoulder. For
several seconds she hung with her en-
tie weight In the grasp Of one talon
of the eagle. which continued tapping
the air wildly and trying to make head
way.
Then the dress at the right shoulder
gave way and Gladys fell through the
branches OF the tree to the ground.

About four years ago the Depart
ment Of Agriculture began a systematic
distribution of the Kharkof wheat, and
extensive trials of this variety In Co
operation with the State experiment
stations. 1t Is the hardest winter
wheat yet grown in this country and
Is now thoroughly established
BY its use the area in which winter
wheat can be successfully cultivated
has been much extended to the north
ward and westward, particularly In Ne
braska and Iowa, while considerable
amount is now grown In South Dakota
and Southern Minnesota. 1t will be
conservative to state that, wherever
this wheat has been introduced, the
yield per acre is being increased on an
average of five bushels.
