THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tabulate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural
list endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind Of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but 1t must be
acknowledged that it's results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to a recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalian" the species of rodents
known in 1880 were only go in num-
ber; now they are 1900. The num-
ber has thus, at least, doubled in 81
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
1900, divided among 160 genera. This
family is the most numerous of the
class of mammalia.-Wissen fur ALE.

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind OF
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.

EVERYTHING Bad,

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some Of his holdings
in southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad,
and it was necessary to finish the
Journey in buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles Of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon a farmer plowing corn on the
side of hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, mopping
his face with red bandana.
Good morning."
"Mornin', mister!"
you live here, 1 suppose?"
"Yep."

"Fair to middlin'"
That's a bad hill you're plowlng."

The prevailing price Of concentrated
foodstuffs is arouslng the interest Of
farmers in the question of growing
more hesh-forming foods Many stock
men who have used oil meal extensive
ly in the past are considering the propo-
sition Of growing their own flax,
so that it can be fed without first hav-
ing the oil extracted. This is a prac-
tice that | cannot recommend too high
ly. | have found from practical ex-
perience that an acre or two Of fax
will produce one of the most profitable
crops that can be grown. On ordinary
soil there will be a yield Of about
twenty bushels per acre. This may
be used in feeding calves, young stock
and any other class Of animals which
may for any reason be out Of condi-
ton. Flax is not only food, but is
one Of the very best tonics that are
available.-W. ]. Kennedy In Iowa

Smoke I'm Handling Bees.

How differently men use or misuse
smoke when handling bees. Some men
even ask me II ever "smoke in the
entrance" AS a rule, such men will
jar the hives in taking off the cover,
they pry or pull off the super with a
snap, says an exchange. About this
time the bees, angry bees, begin pour
ing out at the entrance and from the
top of the hive and then the bee
keeper begins using the smoker; but
the bees are mad now, and no amount
of smoke will pacify them.
The most important place to use
smoke is at the entrance, and 1t should
be used there as the first step in open
ing the hive. Subdue the bees first,
then all the jarring will only make
their subjection the more complete. So
many times has some man cautioned
me about attempting to handle some
perfect tigers and that l would be
stung to death. | always say: Give
me the smoker l give them a good,
thorough smoking at the entrance be-
fore attempting to open the hive. l
then open the hive carefully, using a
| little smoke If there Is any sign OF
obstreperousness.
AS rule pass the ordeal without
a sting, while the owner looks on with
amazement. The whole secret lies in
subduing the bees before opening the
hives. Smoke the bees first, and then
you can usually handle them in peace
and comfort.

and rolling of ship is most notice
able. In fact, NAL de mer Is very
common on board the lightship.
OF all the perils that overhang the
Nantucket Shoals lightship's crew,
however, the direst is that of acting
as life savers in a case where a vessel
has gone on the shoals or foundered
In the sea within sight. But it's n
peril which these brave seamen never
finch from.
The lives Of these men aboard this
particular llghtship are considered by
Uncle Sam to be Of such Importance
that the crew Is not obliged to leave
the vessel, even In order to save life,
but 1t has never happened that these
men have allowed shipwrecked sailor
or crew to go unaided.
Without the two great octagonal
copper framed lights, each weighing a
ton, which every night Of the year dur
ing fair weather and storms cast their
beacon-like rays from the masts of this
lightship for the benefit Of the thous-
ands Of vessels sailing outside Nam
tucket Island, this part Of the coast
would be avoided as were the Scylla
and Charybdis of old.
As 1t Is, 500 vessels have been
wrecked and lost around Nantucket.

A skilled Northern dairyman who
went to Georgia some years ago once
wrote that he found that he could
make as good butter there as he made
in Vermont, could make it at lower
cost and could get better price for it.
When once the livestock industry Is
well established In the South in con-
nection with cotton growing, we will
soon hear less of its taking four or
five acres to make bale Of cotton,
for the men who rotate their crops
and feed stock and make manure will
soon put bale as the minimum per
acre. More pea hay, more corn and
more cattle will do more for the cot
ton farmer than anything else, when
they cease to look on everything but
cotton merely as supplies to enable
them to plant more cotton, for they
will find that the supplies" will soon
be as profitable part Of their farm
Ing as the cotton.

EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE KAISER
He Is an EARLY Riser and His Meal,
Are Simple.

The everyday life Of the German en-
peror is rather severely systenatized,
says Wolf Won Schierbrand in Lippin-
colts. He plunges into his days work
with cheerful and vigorous alacrity.
He Is an early riser-in the summer
often at 5 and in the winter rarely aft
er l. During the hunting season he
gets up even before those hours. He
regularly braces himself with a shower
bath and then he slips into his undress
uniform (for, as William |. used to
say, dressing gowns are not worn by
the Hohenzollerns") and goes straight
to breakfast.
His meals, as rule, are simple rath-
er than otherwise. His breakfast Is of
the English kind" consisting of coffee
or tea, toast, eggs, beefsteak or cut
let Luncheon is served at 2, and he
partakes of soup, one meat dish with
greens, one roast and several entire
ments. Dinner at 6 is more elaborate
meal. Kaiser and the kaiserin both in
sist on carefully and wholesomely pre-
pared food, and, although she never
cooks dishes for her husband or family
as has been enormously stated so oft
en-she does frequently supervise the
preparing of this or the other special
course. The kaiser is fond of baked
meats and pot roasts and likewise of
fish, oysters, macaroni, rice, force-meat
balls and Of what is commonly called
hamburger steak. Usually, unless pres

A balky horse can be cured, when un-
der the saddle, by very simple meth
cd. Turn him around in his tracks
a few times and then suddenly straight
en- his head and he will willingly, and
even gladly, go forward. This was
the method of the celebrated John s.
Rarey and has never been known to
fail.
The "jbbler' differs from the balk-
er inasmuch as his so-called vice is
caused by congestion of the brain. The
horse thus affected Is liable to bolt or
run away after one of the attacks and
is dangerous animal.
Rearing, although commonly termed
vice, is often caused by too severe a
curb. Sometimes the rearing horse
loses his balance and falls backward.
1t is needless to say that the rider Is
lucky If he or she escapes without Sc
rious, If not fatal, injury. When the
horse rears, loosen the reins and speak
to him in a soothing tone; but If he

tween the ears with the butt of the
whip. This will bring him down an all
fours with amazing quickness.
Kicking is certainly vice. Some
times, however, 1t Is caused by fear, in
which case much can be accomplished
| by gentle management. Exactly the
opposite treatment Of the rearing ami
NAL should be applied to the kicker
Hold his head up with might and main
for the horse cannot throw out both
legs at once when his head is elevat
ed. Kicking straps are what the name
implies A strap fastened to the shafts
over the horses crup prevents kicking
but this Is only serviceable when driver
in single harness. Shying Is danger
Gus fault. 1t cannot properly be term
ed a vice; it is generally the result
Of defective vision. Gentle treatment

in accustoming the animal to the

and days the bell which was used
aboard the old ship there was kept
ringing at two-minute intervals, with
the result that when the fog had lifted
and the noise ceased, the men were
unable to sleep for the first night on
account of the unaccustomed silence.
But there is still another danger be-
sides that Of being run down. When
the winter storms of the Atlantic sweep
across the shoals, tossing the lghtship
like shuttlecock and burying her
athwartships, these men aboard, cling
ing in their hunks between decks or
standing watch through the bitter cold
hours of the night in the lee Of the
oak bulwarks, indifferently sheltered
from the Icy sleet and spray, know
not at what moment the great anchor
chain may part under the lunges of
the rolling vessel and set them adrift
in the inky darkness In battle for
life.
Twenty four times the Nantucket
lightship has parted her chains, usually
In the heart Of the bitterest winter
gales, and been swept to sea. Only a
year ago vessel and crew thus adrift
from moorings were given up for lost
Once during the period of the old sail,
ing llghtship's maintenance the vessel
was fourteen days in picking her way
