wn. Nrnmma,. Dazzling nox,

A certain fond mother was Mortified
not long ago when a parrot-fully guar
anteed by the dealer from whom 1t was
purchased to be free of any knowledge
began to swear vigorously in the
presence Of several callers and her
young son.
The birds vocabulary increased to a
remarkable extent, both in amount and
force, within the next week or so, and
the lady had come to the conclusion
that for the sake of her sons morals
she must get rid OF 1t. although it af-
forded the entire household no little
amusement In its more polite moments,
when one day she quietly entered the
room where the cage hung. Perched
upon a chair was Johnny and there
was being executed an astonishing duet
of profanity.
ooh, Johnny, are you teaching Poll
to swear the mother gasped.
For an instant only Johnny was
panic-stricken and then assumed an ex-
preston of sanity patience.
"No, no, mother" he asserted In a
hurt tone. 81 was just tell 1t all the

Just then some one called the Colonel
away, and Chuggins wandered about
in the regiment. He stayed with the
troops after that, first with one regi-
ment and then with another, getting
farther and farther to the front as the
army advanced, going back to Siboney
only when some officer had message

Climate and Communion.

Only a few years ago one suffering
from consumption was thought to be
incurably i'll, and doomed to a death
which, although perhaps slow, was In
evitable. Modern scientific knowledge
has changed all that. 1t is now known
that tuberculosis taken in time is quite
amenable to treatment, and indeed Of
ten gets well of itself without any spe-
cial effort on the part OF patient or
physician.
The modern treatment is mainly ell
matte, that Is to say. a removal, If pos
sible, to some part Of the world where
the climatic conditions are such that
the patient can pass most Of his time
in the open air. But If this were all
that is needed the question would be
much more simple one than 1t really
is. 1t is indeed the main, but not the
only thing.
1t is desirable also that the place Of
residence Of the consumptive shall be
dry, sunny. and free from high winds
and dust. Whether 1t shall be In the
mountains or near sea-level, in the So
called temperate zone or In the tropics,
Is matter to be determined by cir
cumstances. Some persons prefer warm
air to cold; others suffer from heat and
feel well only in cold weather. Nat
urally the patients inclinations are to
be consulted in such a case, for it would
be cruel and disastrous to send lover
OF the tropics to winter In Minnesota,
and equally cruel to compel a snowbIrd
to live In the West Indies.
A climate that will be beneficial in
one stage Of the disease may be harm
full in another. Elevated regions, for
example. are suitable as a rule only for
cases Of consumption In the early
stages. and may aggravate the condi.
tlon at a later stage, when the patient
has had one or more hemorrhages. Al
a very advanced stage no climate, how.
ever ideal. will compensate for the ia.
tigue and dangers OF a long journey
and home is the only place.
But after all that can be said for the
climatic treatment Of consumption, the
main thing Is the open air, and that
one can get without the trouble and ex
pense of travel by simply keeping win
dows open day and night 1t is harder
to follow out the open-air treatment In
a large city than II Is in Colorado OF
southern California or jamaica, but II
can be done. and no one need forego it,
benefits while there are windows II
walls, or while there is space in which
to pitch a tent-Youth's Companion.

PROFIT IN RAISING GOATS.
HiIly and Rocky Ground Unsuitable
for Farming Might BE Used.

HiIly and Rocky Ground Unsuitable
for Farming Might BE Used.
At present there are only few
places in the United States where mich
goats are raised, says the st. Louis
Democrat. The work of breeding
and testing is carried on by few pro-
gressive men and women who have
faith In the future industry. A num-
Der Of communities keep goats both for
the milk and the flesh of the kids.
There are some goat farms in the east,
some In the middle west and some
In the west and southwest.
Not all sections are well adapted to
successful results with the animals, yet
there are large areas In nearly every
State of the Union where they can be
raised with profit. The area for their
profitable handling will probably be
enlarged when their habits and condi-
lions for health shall have become gen
orally known.
Goats in general, which Is true of
mich goats, thrive best on billy and
rocky land, but they may be success
fully raised on level land, which, how
ever, must not be wet or swampy.
They do we'll in both cold and warm
climates, but the short-haired variety
suffer from the extreme cold II some
shelter Is not provided. Otherwise
they are affected by climate about the
same as sheep are, except that very
young kids are slightly more tender
than young lambs.
Mich goats, like all goats, are great
foragers, subsistlng ON weeds and
brush as we'll as upon good grass pas
ture. For this reason they can be made
source of great profit to farmers
having rough land, unit for general
farming, and who care to raise them
for breeding purposes.
There are thousands Of acres Of billy
and rough land unfit for farming vege-
table crops in the United States at
present that could be put into practical
use by fencing them for mich goats,
as 1t is already done for Angora goats.
The females. however, when the milk
Is used for human consumption, must
be given wholesome food and kept from
brush and weeds. AS a cows milk Is
tainted by the COW eating weeds, so a
goats milk is tainted by eating gar
bsge and brush leaves. When they
are fed fresh. clean food their milk Is
as wholesome to the taste as cows
milk. Many prefer 1t to cows milk
because 1t has sweeter taste.
The milk OF the goat is not only rich
er than that OF the COW, but the guam
tity is fully as large, If not larger
compared with It's size. A good aver.
age pure-bred milch goat gives about
two quarts Of milk daily.

Seeking New Things to Grow

An annual income Of S4O,Oo0,OO0 oss
an original investment OF $1,000 is the
surprising record OF the u. S. Depart
ment OF Agriculture. says Dewey Shell

Rzine.
To the riddle, why is the Depart
ment OF Agriculture? some scoffers
have been wont to reply, "Just cause"
They used to ridicule the agricultural
work Of the government because they
said there were no tangible results. But
the department, In Its Yearbook for
1905, comes to the front with q lust

ness man In the United States, whether
be fathers trust or runs a corner
drug store, can point to a profit like
this: An investment OF $2,00O~in 1864,
now produces an annual income of S40,-

from China and France In 1864, a COM

part Of the molasses consumed In the

Wonderful Stories About the Steed'
of Famous Men.

Wonderful Stories About the Steeds
of Famous Men.
In his letters to Lord Granville, pub
llshed by the Royal Philosophical So
clety, who was also greatly interested
In natural history, Smithson, the foun-
der of the Smithsonian institution in
America, relates how the horse Of Alex
ander the Great, Bucephalus, would at
night, on hearing a blast of the trum-
pet from the soldiers on guard show
ing the approach of the enemy, run at
great speed to his masters tent and
with his teeth grab the sleeping mon
arch and shake him until he sprang
into the saddle and galloped toward
the enemy.
Also that the great Caliph Haroun-
el-Raschid In the eighth century In
marching toward the forces of Queen
Irene of Constantlnople constantly had
number of trained Arabian horses
(direct descendants of the famous
horses owned by Ishmael 1000 years
ago. thrown forward as scouts, who
from time to time returned to camp
and by a peculiar whinny and neigh
reported the proximity of the enemy.
Again he relates the experiences OF
the Portuguese explorer Albuquerque
who lived for many years in the six
teenth century on the island Of st
Helena, where he and the natives
taught the herds of wild horses there
to not only dig potatoes but to hush
corn, and these horses descended from
a herd brought there from Cappadocia
in the second century, as related by the
Greek historian Philistorgius.
But to come down to the presen
day, 1t Is related by a retired New
England clergyman, whose sands Of
life had nearly run out, that one day
on leading his horse down through q
lane to a brook for a drink the ANNA
suddenly halted and, turning its head
round, grabbed up with It's teeth one
of it's hind shoes which had just Drip
ped off. and, holding it in its mouth
with the nails dangling, 1t backed VI
against a stone wall and clapped 4

Nonbarlxing Dogs.

To teach a dog not to bark, would
seem to be as impossible task as
teaching a child not to cry, or boy not
to talk loud, but there Is a case on rec
ord where a dog was so taught, though
1t took the trainer three years to ac-
complish it. Then he thought he had
dog that differed from all the other
dogs in the world, but In this he was
mistaken, for there are at least three
varieties of dogs that never bark-the
lion-headed dog of Tibet, the shepherd
dog Of Egypt and the Australian dog.
The law in some countrines Is quite Sc
we're on night-barking dogs. In Japan,
for instance, the owner of the dog Is
liable to arrest, and to a penalty OF
one years work on the complaint OF
any one who has been disturbed by the
barking. There would be good many
arrests made If law Of that kind
should be enforced in any Of our towns.

rallied a large wolf lately which had
the misfortune at some period Of his
life to get badly burned, having his feet
burned to the bones.
The right front foot had the foot
and nail pads burned to the bones and
two nails gone; the left two outside
nails and foot pads were gone; from
the right hind foot four nails were
gone; on the left hind foot two toes
were left His teeth were worn to
small stumps with old age, but he was
in fine fur and very fat.
AS there have been no forest fires In
the northern counties that could corral
wolves for the last thirty years there

MAN CHANGES CLIMATE.
Civilization Has Distinct Effect UD-
on Winter Temperature

on Winter Temperature
& L. Basin writes In the Monthly
Review on the effects of civilization
upon climate. He mentions the re-
markable variations Of weather within
few miles distance as an Indication
that local causes may produce changes
ia the weather He goes on to point
out:
1.-THE presence of a large number or
buildings in any situation VIII raise
the temperature of the locality, while
the influence Of the warmth arising
from a large number of fires must not
hv any means be overlooked. Expert
ments conducted In London, Berlin and
Paris serve to show that the average
annual temperature In the cities Is z
or degrees higher than In the sur
rounding country. At certain times Of
the wear there is often a greater differ
ence still, and it Is noticeable that In
cities sudden changes are not felt to
the same extent that they are In the
open country"
Taking England as a whole, there
has been during the last two centuries
an immense reduction in the amount OF
marsh land. Damp soil being always
colder than dry, some change may be-
expected. 1t is actually taking place
"It Is a proved fact that the tempera-
ture In this country Is appreciably
higher than 1t was some centuries ago.
Some old people, who might be sup
posed to be more sensitive to cold as
they grow older, continually affirm
that winters are not so severe as they
used to be. The old-fashioned winter
often began In December, or even No
vember, but now 1t is very rarely that
any prolonged spell of cold Is expert
enced until the new year" The writer
speculates whether the draining Of the
! boglands Of the tundras In Siberia
would not alter the climate OF that
desolate region.
1t has been definitely established, he
says, that the presence of large num-
bers of trees in tropical regions tends
to reduce the temperature. Belts of
forest lands will also protect a country
from wet and strong winds. The rain
fall is said to be largely dependent on
the presence of trees. Cutting down
virgin forest in America has resulted
in long spells Of drought. Deforesta-
ton having been proved to reduce the
rainfall, the question arises how far
In this rainy land of ours forestation
is altogether desirable. He concludes :
''To sum up the whole matter, 1t Is
impossible to deny that man and his
works do influence climate to a great
er or less extent; the spread Of civili-
cation in a new land has a real effect
on the annual tale of weather. The
study of the subject is In its infancy. A"
