A Queer Practice.

A queer practice which is general

Is the rubbing of the skin. When the
children are still young long cuts are
made across the chest, down the up
per arm and leg and even across the
back and ribs. While the wound is
quite fresh the cut is opened and a
mixture of mud is grated In, the
skin being pulled as far as possible
over 1t. The skin eventually grows
completely round the mud filing and
forms ridges varying in length and size
from an ordinary lead pencil to the
thickness of a mans little finger and
extending from armpit to armpit. |

FOREST FIRES

ooll sh9w nszt Saturday.

ta4s A4ANAs4AA@ EANAs
Thes following description from
recent issue OF Harper's Weekly win
cause the western person who reads
It to smile at the glittering display
Of Ignorance shown by the writer:
The cause of the forest fires that
periodically devastate large sections
Of this country Is a matter of specu-
lation. If you talk to the farmer,
he will give you variety of rea-
sons his favorites being "frebugs"
and Sunday fisherman" The flrst-
named are the murderous scoundrels
who would burn up an entire town.
ship for a variety of motives. The
principal one is revenge. Such a
wretch has grudge against a
neighbor, and, to get square, he sets
his woods afire, and is quite willing
to see. his enemy's timber destroyed
and his land burnt over, and even
to see him burn In his bed. 1t is
well known that nothing exceeds in
its fury farmers grudge.
The Sunday fisherman" is almost
as great a criminal, for what the
"hrebug" does by intent the angler
does by rank, criminal carlessness.
Many Of these folks catch their fish,
clear a, space on the ground, and
build fire to broil dinner, and
leave smouldering embers to be
blown into the brush. Spontaneous
combustion is, no doubt. responsible
for many fires in times of excessive
drought, which are also invariably
a period Of fierce heat. Locomotive
sparks are another cause, but there
are comparatively few stated in this
way, although many forest fires are
laid to this factor.
"A forest fire may be smouldering
for weeks before it is discovered.
Where the brush is extremely thick
and the timber very dense the
smoke may not rise in sufficient
volume to attract attention, particu-
larly in a sparcely settled country.
But when it does rise above the
tree-tops or the brush it is a danger
signal no farmer disregards.
when the fire is discovered the
school-bells and chUrch-bells are
tolled, telephone messages sent wher-
ever they will reach, and the chill
dren sent flying in all directions to
call to their aid every available man
within walking or riding distance.
And they answer the call. They
bring with them hoes, shovels,
spades, rakes, buckets and pals.
Water and sand are the two remedies
for fighting a forest fire. but the
former Is always scarce, or far from
the fire in any quantity that not
much work can be done with this
medium.
''Back-firing is the favorite remedy
for checking the fire. Back-firing
consists of setting fire to a section
Of land or brush so that it will burn
back and meet the original fire. and
thus check the real confagration by
providing no more stun to burn.
Then about the edge of the back
iiFe harrows and ploughs are set to
work to turn over the soil for sew
eral feet in width so as to make
sure that the fires will not Jump" in
to the adjoining field.
There is a preventive Of these
forest fires which annually sweep
our country. Complete control by
each state of all the forest land, and
a Law. that will compel each farmer
to clear his forest land of all the
brush and refuse. would stamp out
these devastations."
