A NEW GRAFT,

One Of the latest types of swindle
that has been perpetrated on some of
the unsuspecting farmers of western
locality was worked in this wise:
There has been a good deal of talk
about bovine tuberculosis in the state
in question, and, taking their cue
from this, two fellows Joined hands
to fleece the dairymen of the section.
One, well dressed. wearing glasses and
having professional and learned bear.
ing. went through a neighborhood in
specting the dairy cows, representing
himself to be state dairy inspector.
In one instance when he ran across a
good looking herd of cows he con-
demned dozen animals as afflicted
with tuberculosis, but told the farmer
on leaving not to say anything about
1t, but to sell them for whatever he
could get for shipment out Of the
state. Two or three days after this
fakir No, 2, informed on the quiet OF
what had been done, came along to
the farmers place and asked II he
had any cows for sale. The farmer
explained matters and thought himself
lucky to get $50 apiece for the sup
Dosedly diseased animals. When he

Must Pension Themselves.

Domestic servants in Germany come
under the law that obliges all persons
below a certain income to provide for
their old age. The postoffice issues
cards and stamps, and one of these
stamps must be dated and affixed to
the card every Monday. Sometimes
the employers buy the cards and stamps
and show them at the postoffice each
month. Sometimes they expect the
servant to pay half the money re-
quired. Women who go out by the day
get their stamps at the house they
work in on Mondays. If girl marries
she may cease to insure and may have
a sum Of money toward her outfit. In
that case she will receive no old age
pension. But if she goes on with her
insurance she will have from 15 to &c
marks (S3 to 81 month from the
state after the age Of seventy.

DISEASE AND PAIN.
rhe Theory That Suffering Is Menta'
More Than Physical.

Fhe Theory That Suffering Is mentA
More Than Physical.
A great deal Of alleged physical SUI
fering is primarily mental. A great
many people have fixed ideas OF ois-
ease, pain. debility, fatigue, dread, IN
efficiency and unexpressible woes.
Much often than we realize these can
be transplanted without surgery OF
medication 1 do not mean that they
are not real sufferings. They are as
real as the grave, but they are not
grounded in physical inf1rmlty, ana
ihey are not to be cured with physics.
The mind becomes possessed OF con-
viction that a certain part of the pody
is infirm and imputes pain to that part
in spite Of all the medicine in the world.
Hundreds of people refuse to get well
after the physician has cured them. IL
is not his fault, and it is not their
fault But they have simply had dis
ease suggested to them until they can
not think at all except upon that as
sumption. 1t is an ''auto Suggestion,
or it is a family suggestion, and the
only way to remove it is by the Vlgor-
GUS counter suggestion of another per-
son. The value of fixed idea" OF
health, as being only the removal OF
fixed idea of disease where there was
no organic reason for it, will hardly
be disputed. Yet one cannot oyerem-
phasize the multitudes that there are
of these invalids sittingin padded chairs
and making ready for the hearse whose
trouble is primarily mental. and how
many there are, again, who have
slight organic infirmity and have in
creased it's effects a thousandfold by
what we may call "household sugges-
ton" Max Eastman in Atlantic

AN INSECT TRAGEDY.
The Nest the Mother Butterfly Builds
For Her Young.

The Nest the Mother Butterfly 6uHo>
For Her Young.
There is something really pathetic in
the way mother butterfly builds a
nest for her children. In the first
place, the little home where the eggs
are deposited represents great deal
of sacrifice, for it Is lined with several
layers of down plucked from the moth
er's own soft body. The eggs having
been laid carefully upon this luxurious,
pretty couch, are protected by an
equally pretty coverlet made of the
same material
These butterfly bedclothes are often
arranged with an 1ntricacy that is quite
curious and perplexing. Sometimes a
cate hair stands upright, thus giving
the entire nest the appearance of lit
tie brush of downy fur. Then again
the eggs are laid spirally round tiny
branch, and, as the covering follows
their course, the effect resembles the
more beautiful than the brush Of the
finest fox that ever roamed over coun-
try.
The building of this downy nest is the
latest earthly labor of the mother but
terfy, for by the time it is completed
her own delicate body is denuded of its
natural covering and there Is nothing
left for her to do but die, a sacrifice
which she promptly and heroically
makes In the interest of the coming
butterfly generation.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-05-29
A PRACTICAL OFFICIAL.

The New York commissioner Of agri-
culture seems to be a person who views
his Office in something more than a
purely honorary light. During last
year he and his helpers inspected dairy
herds in forty-fve out of sixty-one
counties, finding 62S dairy COWS out
of a total Of 2,753 inspected affected
with tuberculosis. He inspected 235
milk receiving stations. IA Of which
he reported in an insanitary condition.
The department of which he is head
not only attended to the above work,
but found employment for AS single
men and seventy-five families as hired
help. Data secured by the commits
sioner showed that there were 26,720
farms in the state and that Of this
number 2.273 were for sale or rent.

CANNED PRUNES.

Those who have had opportunity to
pick the full ripened prune off the tree
state that it possesses delicious quail
ity and flavor which are wanting in the
dry product of commerce. In this con-
nection considerable interest is felt
both by growers and consumers of
prunes in some experiments which
have been lately conducted in the can
ming of the fresh prune, as is done so
extensively with apricots, pears and
peaches Some Of this canned product
was sent to the Philippine Islands, re-
turned to the factory which put it up
and found to be in perfect condition.
This keeping quality of the prune when
put up fresh is a matter which seems
to have been in considerable doubt.
Now, however, that the point has been
determined it is quite likely that prunes
will be extensively canned.

MUST LEARN THRlET.

With the gradual yet steady advance
in the price of land, the American ag-
riculturist must soon from very force
of circumstances adopt the saving and
thrifty habits so characteristic Of the
immigrants from the countries Of
northern Europe. From now on prof
its in agriculture must be looked for
just as largely from a stoppage Of
leaks and waste as from an increase in
the productive capacity of the land.
This lesson of thrift, which has been
an inbred habit with the foreigner for
many generations, is one that the
American, due to an opposite bringing
up and a remarkable prodigality Of
natural resources, is very slow to learn.

The Finishing Touch to Eli Whitneys
Cotton Gin.

Cotton Gin.
Eli Whitney, who so long veXed his
soul over his first and mightiest inven-
ton, the cotton gin, was aided In his
success by the quck wit and insight Of
a woman. In 'Old Paths and Legends
of the New England Border" Miss
Katherine M. Abbott gives the story,
as told by granddaughter of General
Nathaniel Greene, Of the consumma-
ton Of Whitney's experiment at the
beautiful and hospitable Dungeness,
on Cumberland island, canopied with
live oaks and olive trees.
Mrs. Greene had become interested
in Mr.. Whitney's enterprise and invit-
ed him to spend the winter at Dunge-
ness, where an abundance Of cotton
and quiet were assured"
One morning he descended headlong
into the drawing room from his work
shop in the fifth story and excitedly
exclaimed, ''The victory Is mine" In
deep sympathy guests and hostess went
with him to see the model in motion
by which Whitney was to change the
industrial history Of the world
For a few moments the miniature
saws revolyed without hindrance, and
the separation of the seed from the
cotton wool was successfully accom-
plished, but after little the saws
clogged with lint, the wheel stopped,
and poor Whitney was in despair.
Heres what you needr' exclaimed
Mrs. Greene. She seized clothes
brush and held 1t firmly to the teeth
Of the saws. rs y b

with emotion and speaking with the
exaggeration Of gratitude, you have

Working His Patient.

Ambassador WI Ting Fang was
once, 1t Is alleged, telling about Ger
tain selfish politician. He said: "The
man reminds me Of doctor Of Shang.
hal. A mandarin came to this doctor
for advice. He could not sleep, had no
appetite, suffered a good deal from de-
preston and nevertheless was taking
on fat at an alarming rate. Well soon
put you in condition again. said the
physician. What you need is exercise
good, hard exercise. Four times q
week you can come here and put in
the morning polishing my floors But
why not my own floors? the mandarin
inquired. Nine said the physician,

While European and Asiatic eoun-
tries have forms of animal and bird
life to be found nowhere else, the
American continent seems to possess
an exclusive monopoly Of humming
birds. OF the four hundred odd vari-
eties nearly all are to be found in the
tropical regions. Only eighteen cross
the borders of the United States from
Mexico, and all but one or two vari.
eties spend their summers in the south
ern states. While this tiny bird does
secure some honey from flowers, Its
food consists chiefly Of small insects
which are found in the vicinity Of flow
er beds, many Of which are injurious to
the flowers. Thus in the case Of this
smallest representative Of bird life 1t
seems to have been created not only as
a thing Of beauty, but for the perform
ance Of q helpful mission.

A Rabbit and a Whistle.

Did you know that a short, sharp
whistle from the mouth would stop a
rabbit? It surely does. Next time you
see little Molly Cottontail leap from hel
burrow and make off don't shoot; just
whistle Whether from fear or curios.
ity cannot tell, but she will stop still
in her tracks. An antelope has been
known to do likewise. An African
hunter once said that the elephant Is
the most tmid of all animals and cal
