Use Of lion's Mane

The lions name. like the human
hand, serves a distinct use. The lion,
without 1t, would soon die out. The
jungle is the lions hunting ground.
Here he stalks the buffalo and other
such creatures, leaping on their backs
to Stay them. They tear madly away,
and in their fight strive to scrape' on
the lion against tree trunks and
boughs. But his name protects him.
Without II the bumps and knocks he
receives In that wild ride would in.
fallibly make him fall unconscious to
the ground. In fighting his name also
protects the lion, safeguarding his
throat against the longest, sharpest
claws.

Queer Athens Beooar.

Modern Athens has recently lost
q twentieth century Diogenes. He
was a beggar named Sacoules and
displayed a good deal Of the spirit
Of the ancient cynic.
He could not exactly place his tub
on the streets, but he found out q
sort Of grotto in the side Of the
acropolis, the identical one which the
ancients tabled to be haunted by
the Furies, and here he lived for
years. He was a beggar who had
his price, and he fixed II at one penny.
less than which sum he disdained to
ask. II 1t was refused he only shrug.
ged his shoulders with contempt.
He would penetrate the cafes and
II the company ignored his presence
he would exclaim: What 10000
to work, and a wretch like me can't
be assisted" Then would follow a
sound rating. He had become an in.
stitution, and his death is commented
on with regret.

PERsPIRATloN ON THE FARM.
An Up-to-Dase Agriculturist Delivers
Himself of a Few Facts.

Eyes, 1t is hot" said the farmer,
lighting an Egyptian cigarette. He
was a farmer of the new type, a
scientific farmer, graduated with high
honors from college of agriculture.
Yes, it is hot. My grains and vege-
tables must be perspiring tons to-
day"
But grains and vegetables don't
perspire."
The farmers gold front tooth fash.
ed, as he smiled, like a little sun.
Don't they?' he said. They do,
though. Look at that sunfower there.
1t is only four feet high, yet on a hot
day it perspires two pounds of per.
spiration."
He waved his silver-headed stick
over his fertile fields.
"All that stuff perspires," he said
Beans, peas and corn perspire, dur

VIRTUES OF CEDAR CHESTS.
Give Immunity Against Moths Only
for Short Time.

"The old-tim cedar chests are COM

ager Of a department store. They
have never been entirely disused,
though the call for them has not been
brisk for many years. Still. once in
awhile, a customer would come In
and refuse to be satisfied with any.
thing but a cedar chest. The idea was
that the resinous odor Of the cedar
kept away moths, and that clothing
packed In a cedar box was forever Sc
cure against any damage by destruc-
tive insects. The notion, however. IL
true only in part. A new cedar chest
does confer partial immunity for wool
en- goods; but in the course Of few
years, the cedar loses its fragrance
and is no more Of q protection than Q
box made Of pine or any other wood.
But the idea cannot be got out OF the
peoples heads that the odor OF cedar
Is the death Of moths, and as long a.
they believe II and also use plenty oil
camphor, as most Of them do, the DO
lief in the efficiency Of the cedar

TO BOTTLE The ARKANSAW.
Garden City Sugar Company to Dam
River.

Garden City, Sept. $50. x.
Parker. consulting engineer of
the United States Sugar and Land
Company, has been in this terri
tory this week looking oSer the
engineering, projects which the
sugar company is carrying on.
One of the engineering projects
which the company has in mind to
complete this winter is the dam
across the river west of Hartland.
The building of a dam across
the Arkansas river is a hard
undertaking on account of the
difficulty found in getting a stable
foundation. for the work. Some
years ago an immese dam was
built up the river in Colorado at
an expense of over quarter of a
million dollars. which lasted but a
short time. the. sand washing
from. under it and destroying it
completely.
The plan of the sugar company
is to build a dam two feet high
across the river in order to raise
the height of the water when it
comes down in the spring and
thus make it possible to turn water
into the Great Eastern ditch anC
the South Side ditch at the same
time. The two feet raise in the
river bed will raise the b9ighth o.
the water so that even when the
water in the river is quite low, i
will be..high enough to supply til,
two bitches.

Horns on Horses Skull.

A recently acquired abnormality Of
the British museum is the skull OF an
English horse showing a pair of
rudimentary horns on the forehead.
Older specimens are a portion Of a
similar skull with the horns and mode
els OF the foreheads Of two thorough
breds having horns The skin extends
uniformly over the horns, with no sign
Of thickening or hardening. Just what
these hornlike growths signify is per.
picking naturalists. as none Of the an
cestral horses or Immediately related
species were horned animals, and II
there is no hereditary influence II Is
remarkable that so many freak ap-
pendages should appear in the same
place.
