One Kind Of FrieASishfp.

In the village where | live / was
in the habit of visiting two poor,
ipfEm old women, one inhabiting
the single downstairs room, the 9TH
er occupying the garnet above her.
Each kept a jealous watch as to
whether bestowed more tea or
sixpeAoes On the other, and each
was sure to tell me every i'll trait
she could hear Of the other. One
day the aid lady who lived upstairs,
thanking me effusively for my visit,
said: "You're the only lady ever
comes near me, the only friend |
have. That one" pointing down
ward, "has hapes Of friends" add
ing hastily, lest I should be too IA
yorably impressed by that circum-
stance, "and there's not wan of
them but hates her." | thought to
myself that such a description of
friendship may sometimes apply to
higher circles than that At my poor

AIR PRESSURE.
The Weight a Human Body 10 Com
PEELED 70 Sustain.


PEELED 70 Sustain.
If person who had given no
thought to the matter were told
that he is perpetually sustaining a
weight of about fourteen tons and
that that stupendous burden is ever
varying, sometimes increasing,
sometimes decreasing, to the extent
of 400 and 500 pounds in the
course of few hours, he would
probably consider that his inform
ant was demented. But that pro-
digious load represents the weight
of air which every person OF aver
age size is always bearing, al
though, as the pressure is equal on
all sides, the cumbersome burden Is
not only not felt, but under certain
conditions of the atmosphere, when
the barometer stands high, indicat-
ing that the pressure is increased, q
sense of invigoration is experienced,
which passes away when he has been
relieved of the additional hundred
weight or two which he was carry
ing. Some idea of the tremendous
pressure of the air may be gathered
by placing the hand firmly over the
receiver of an air pump and ex-
hausting the air therefrom, A large
hand measuring eight square inches
would then, If the air were COM
pletely exhausted, have a weight OF
exactly a hundredweight pressing
upon its upper surface Only a
Samson would have sufficient mus
cular force to lift that load and re-
move his hand from the mouth of
the receiver,
Although our atmosphere is SO
transparent and so diaphanous, yet
it's total weight is computed at the
enormous total of five thousand five
hundred million millions of tons
And when this ponderous element
is set in violent motion, as in hur-
ricane, its weight and density are
more readily realized, for then,
when in all its fury the unseen air
is madly rushing along or furiously
whirling around and around at the
rate of a hundred miles an hour,
nothing except the most solidly
erected structures can withstand its
infuriate and fierce onslaughts
Great trees are felled in moment,
stacks of corn OF hay are scattered
to the winds, and even human be-
ings struck by the tornado are hurl-
ed to the ground or even caught up
and whirled through the air like
feathers in a gale.-A. Banker.

A BIT OF ADVICE.
The Hunter Found Good Cause to Be
Grateful For IL.

Grateful For II.
81 was never so grateful for any,
thing in my life as for bit of ad-
vice given me by stranger, and If
/ could find him now / would buy
him the best suit of clothes that

man. at was some years ago as /
was starting on hunting trip up in
Canada that | ran across stranger
in the smoking compartment of the
car, and we got into a discussion
over sports of different kinds.
81 mentioned that | was on my
way to Canada for a hunting trip.
To this he said: 4 will give you q
piece Of advice that an old hunter
gave me a long time ago. When
ever you are in doubt as to whether
a moving object is a deer or not or
when you cannot see it clearly

yell or wait until you are absolutely
sure of your game He told me if
l remembered that it might save
me feeling bad in after years. /

several instances have found it
saved me getting into trouble.

thought, like many others, that /
would not need any such advice, as
/ had common sense enough to
know when to shoot and when not
to. | stopped at the cabin of set
tier to whom | had been accredited
and found comfortable quarters and
good hunting.
Gone day | thought l would take
my rife and go out short distance,
as my host had said he saw signs of
deer when he was out the day be-
fore, So l strolled off into the
woods and wandered about for an
hour or more. Then, finding moth
ing, l started for the house, Sud
denly, in a thicket just ahead, l
saw q deer. Up came my rife to
ny shoulder, and l was about to
pull the trigger when the thought
of the strangers advice came into
my head. 1t is queer, but had not
thought Of it since until that mo-
ment was not absolutely sure what
7 saw was a deer, and / gave yell.
f4t was answered Immediately by
q call from my host, who was out
looking for the COW, and he stepped
forth from the place where | had
thought there was a deer. If | had

came over to where I was standing
all of a-tremhls and so weak that /
had ia lean on the tree. He no.
ticed my condition and inquired
what was the matter. | managed
to excuse my feelings in some fash
ion and we walked home. At every
step I breathed a prayer Of graft

some substantial token Of what |
owe him. As for my host, he never
knew how near he came to death

the correctness of the conclusions
of DR.. Schneider of Munich con.
corning the distance at which peo-
pie can be recognized by their faces
and figures. If you have good eyes.
he says, you cannot recognize q per-
son whom you have seen but once
before at a greater distance than
twenty-five meters (eighty-two feet).
II the person is well known to you,
you may recognize him at from 80
to 100 meters, and if it is member
of your family even at $50 meters.
The white of the eyes may be seen
at from twenty-seven to twenty-
eight meters and the eyes them

three meters. The different parts
of the body and the slightest move
ments are distinguishable at ninety:

LIP AND LEG DISEASE

Owing to the presence OF an 1nfec-
tious disease known as lip and leg
disease or necrobacillosis of sheep,
the Secretary of Agriculture ordered
a quarantine, effective August II, on
the counties of Fremont, Natrona, Con-
verse, Weston, Crooks, Sheridan, John
son and Big Horn, in the State OF
Wyoming. Sheep that are affected
with this disease will under no con-
ditions be allowed to move interstate
from the quarantined area. Sheep
that have been exposed may be moved
for sticking or feeding purposes after
one dipping under government super
vision, or they may be shipped inter-
state for immediate slaughter without
dipping, under certain restrictions.
Healthy sheep that have not been ex-
posed may be moved interstate from
the quarantined area only when &C
companied by a certificate of inspec-
ton issued by an inspector OF the
Bureau of Animal Industry.
Lip and leg disease is caused by a
germ known as the necrosis bacillus,
and is marked by an Lucrative con-
dition of the legs, muzzleS and lips.
Other parts may be likewise affected.
Sheds, feed lots, corrals or pastures
become infected with the germs,
which enter the tissues when the
mouth or leg is injured by briars,
stubble, rough forage, etc, and set up
disease.

CHAMBERS AND TUBERCULOSIS

DR.. S. B. Nelson, state veterinarian

ernor M. e. Hay and the state board
of health, and are now in legal effect.
They are:
No. 1. That each and every such
animal reacting to the tuberculin test
be tagged in the right ear with tag
