Brush Without BristIes.

In recent years scientists and der
matologists have discovered that dis
eases of certain nature, such as ecze
ma seborrhoicum, are of microbe
origin, and, therefore, contagious to
a very great extent, and it is well.

is nearly always due to the presence
in the scalp Of a vegetable parasite.
Stringent laws have been promulgated
at different places, tendig to insure
cleanliness and freedom from conta.
gion in barber shops and hairdressing
parlors, but according to some authori-
ties in matters of this kind, 1t has
been difficult to make much progress
along these lines, for the reason that
1t is practically impossible to sterilize
the ordinary bristle brush without
running i.
In ORR to overcome this constant
source Of danger substitute for the
hair-brush has been devised. The
principal object Of the invention Is tc
provide an article which Will perform
all the ordinary functions Of the bristle
brush, but Of such shape and construc-
ton as to be wholly non-absorbent
and capable of rapid d and effective
sterilization.
The article is constructed OF rubber
or metal, and the surface bearing the
teeth are Of such shape as to be soft
and yielding, SO that the action of the
teeth are in every way the same as
that Of the bristle of hair-brush.

The Monkey Counted to Three.

But as regards animals being able
to count. a case once came under my
notice where 1t was proved that mon
keys could count up to three. but no
further. A Colonel Bowker, one Of
Natal's most enlightened and enthu-
siastic naturalists, was once staying
at hotel near Durham, close to which
was the oblong patch cleared in the
bush and planted with mealies, which
were ripe, the stalks being higher than
mans head. Monkeys were annoy.
ing the proprietor by making excur.
sions from the bush into the field,
and throwing down about fifty times
as many cobs as they tackled inter.
nally. Colonel Bowker, who firmly be-
lieved that monkeys could count only
up to a certain number, took three
friends with him into the field with
guns, openly. Naturally the monkeys
were not taking any lead just then.
But shortly one man walked out with
his gun over his shoulder and made
straight for the hotel; a second did
ditto and then a third. Then the
monkeys went for that mealie patch,
with, of course, the inevitable result
that same OF them did not leave 1t.

why it is the best of personal and famil..

on which it acts without any facilitating

The AIderney Breed

1.-THE Attorneys and Jerseys are 50

appearance that the description given
tor Jerseys will apply to them. They

but bearing the name of their island
home The. main difference is that
the Attorneys are smaller and more
delicate, and for this reason are not
so much in favor"
The above passage was printed in a
book which I Judge is in the hands
Of many farmers throughout the coun-
try:
When Channel island cattle were
drst imported to the United States,
and for long time thereafter, both
Jersey and Guernsey, and especially
the former, were called by many peo-
pie Attorney cattle. The Island Of
Attorney is one of the Channel group.
and although the third in size is too
small to export any cattle. 1t prob
ably has no cattle except q few for
family use, and so far as records
show none were ever exported from
there. The name may have originated
from the fact that Attorney, having
q good harbor ana being nearer Eng
land, all the vessels carrying cattle
or produce from Guernsey and Jersey
formerly cleared from the Attorney
port before leaving the islands for
England. This may have given the
impression to early English importers
that they were Alderney cattle. and
the name SO came to this country.
The fact is that there Is no such
thing as an Attorney breed Of cattle.

Why sloan's Imminent and Veterin-
AIRY Remedies Are the Best to Use.
Let me tell you why Sloan's Linz
ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market today. In the first place. DR..
Earl S. Sloan is the son Of veterin-
airy surgeon, and from his earliest in
fancy he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practised as
veterinary for twenty years, and has
battled successfully with every dis
ease to which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result OF
experiments made to save life or re-
lieve suffering while he was practfs-
ing his profession.
Any reader, by writing to DR.. Earl
S. Sloan, 615 Albany street, Boston,
Mass, will receive "Sloan's Treatise
on the Horse" free. This book tells
how to treat horses, cattle. hogs and
poultry.

An interesting scrap of information
comes from Washington to the effect
that the Agricultural Department pro-
poses to test the merits Of the South
American plant known as "cupatorium

to know cupatorium may be to argue
oneself ignorant, but the name looks
fishy. 1t is possible, however, that the

A Hollow Rail.

A hollow rail has just been invented
by ]. C. Allendorph. The standard
now in use is 51a inches high with
81 inch base, and is solid. Mr.. Allen
dorph's rail is inches high, with a
6-inch base, and Is hollow. There is
also a device for connecting these
rails which takes the place of the
familiar fish-plate. 1t consists of a
plate 2 feet long and inches wide,
and carrying an upright the length OF
plate, which fits into the hollow of the
rails to complete the connection. II
is asserted that the danger Of spread.
ing rails will be greatly minimized.
The present standard rail carries 80
pounds to the yard, while that Of Mr..
Allendorph is only n. At $2s ton
for rails this would mean a saving OF
$517.76 per mile.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles,

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give
up good position that he had held
for years. He was too sick to work.
His skin was yellow, and / hardly
think there was an organ in his body
that was not affected.
I told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee, and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
1T was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It,
and then it was easy to leave of COT
fee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear. kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether. as

Although I was never as bad of
as my husband, l was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong. only weighing 95 lbs before
I began to use Postum. Now l weigh
lis lbs. and can do as much work as
any one my size. think.
Many do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make 1t right. I have successfully
fooled a great many persons who
have drunk it at my table. They
would remark. You must buy high
grade of coffee One young man
who clerked in a grocery store was

but I had no idea it was like this.

Captain William Scott, who is build

quent and bold that it has been found
necessary to keep guards posted
around the camps both day and night
to prevent the raids of the herds OF
deer.
The statement of Captain Scott is
confirmed in letter just received at
Austin, Texas, from Frank Poult, who
has sub-contract on the road He
says:
THE country through which this
new road will pass is simply a aunt
ers' paradise. l never saw so many
deer in all my life, and l have been
something of a deer hunter in my
time.
"The animals overrun our camps,
eat up our grub, stampede our mules
and play havoc generally. They are
in such great numbers that there is no
sport in shooting them.
Il and most OF the other sub-con-
tractors have issued orders for our
foremen to carry rifles at all times in
order to keep the animals from inter.
fering with the mems work The other
night bunch of deer, in which there
were several big bucks, entered our
camp and when fred upon by the
guards broke and ran right through
our tents.
Some of them got tangled UP in
the tent ropes, and before they could
get away we had captured FIVE of the
animals alive. We still have them
here in camp, and if it was not for
the expense Of getting them to you

"On another occasion a drove of
the animals upset our meal tent and
nearly scared our Mexican cook to
death. The biggest nuisance we have
to contend with down here is the
wild deer.
II never before knew that these
animals have so much curiosity. They
beat an old maid in that respect.
There are very few settlements in
this part of the country, and no deer
hunting has ever been done. l sup.
pose that this accounts for the bold.
ness of the animals.
1T seems a shame to kill them ufl.
der these circumstances, but we have
to do it for our own protection. When
this road gets finished to Matamores,
situated opposite Brownsville, Tex, it
will open up country which will be
the mecca of hunters. But 1t will
not take long to kill off the deer, al.
though they are apparently here by
countless thousands"
