Friends of the Farmer.
From the standpoint of the farmer
and the orchnrdist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described as the light

The Bloodthirsty Malay When He Is
Maddened by Frenzy.

The Bloodthirsty Malay When He ls
Msddened by Frenzy.
"Amoi" is Il religious fanaticism,
madness uader which Il man makes up
his mind TO kill any one he can until
he himself is killed. Brought on by
drink or religion or from whatever
cause, the process is the same. The
mndman Seizes his crcese and rushes
headlong down the street, cutting at
every ono he meets. TO any one who
has seen Il creese or Il parang further
detail is unnecessary.
A man running amok is as dog
with hydrophobia. but the panic caus-
cd by the former is by far the worse.
Like the mad dog, the madman is fol-
lowed by Il noisy rabble, who sooner or
later run into their man and eXternli-
nate him. When this vengeful rabble
is made up Of bloodthirsty Malays and
Cinnamon its wild rage and fury are
beyond control, beyOTn description.
The clamor and boodcurdling yells of
the pursuing crowd and the ever near
ing shout cf "Oran amOk, oran amok!'
are incidents which can never be for
gotten by any one who has seen or
heard them. The bravest quails when
suddenly turning the corner Of Il street
his ears are greeted with the cry Of
"Oran amok." and n few yards of he
sees a Malay running straight mt him.

Literary News and Notes.

William Dean Howells has opened his
cottage at Kittery Point, Maine, where
it has long been his custom TO spend the
summer season.
Lincoln Colcord has stories in two Of
the leading magazines for July-a Chi
nese story. Saving Face, " in the Ameri-
can Magazine, and Brutality, " in Nc
Clure's Roth stories are illustrated. An
extract from the Chinese story will be
found in another column.
The Woman's Home Companion for
july is a summer fiction number. There
are eight stories in this issue, by Cyrus
Townsend Brady, Marie Van Worst, Alice
Brown. Mary Heaton Worse and Albert
White Worse. Annie Hamilton Donnell,
Anne Warner, and Euphemia Holden.
Most of these are love stories-of the
kind the world and his wife like to read
at this time of year. One OF the most
Charming of them, however, is tale of
a s'Poor Little Helpless Thing" in which
a wee babv proves itself the strongest
member of the family. The story strikes
an answering chord in the experience of
MANY a long-suffering parent. Espec-
ially timely are the articles in this issue
on s'July in the Poultry Yard, - by Kate
V. Saint-Maur, '"The Woman Camper, :"
"a Charity Cafe Chantant" and The
Picnic-Basket.
Lift Men from the Gutter? Or. Re-
move the Gutter? Which," is the inter-
rogative title of Ray Stannard Bakers
article in the July American Magazine.
Mr.. Baker draws some interesting COM
parsons between the work OF the famous
McAuley Mission and that done by Christ
| Church both in New York City. 1.-THE
Confession of Rebellious Wife, is a
remarkable human document which will
interest every married man and woman
in this country. Fiction OF an unusual
quality is contributed by Olive Higgins
Prouty, Lincoln Colcord, and Elizabeth
Goodnow. while everyone should be sure
to read r. F. Fosters delightful story,
Good Guessing at Bridge" which is
one of the best yarns that has been pub
lished in some time.
Everybody remembers the spectacular
visit of the Kaiser to his eX-Majesty
'Abdul the Damned" as Mr. Gladstone
once called the Sultan. But it has re-
manned for E. Alexander Powell, recently
an American consul in Turkey, to show
just what the emperor's little game real
| ly was, and what came of it. In ''The
| Fight for the Highway of Nations, July
| Everybody's, Mr.. Powell very entertain
ingly describes how William Of Germany,
with an eye to the future, secured con-
cession that made him ruler of $4,000
square miles of Turkish territory. This
is an empire in itself, and it has much to
do with the European feeling that war
between England and Germany is inevi-
table. The Fatherland appears to be en-
croaching upon the patent land-grabbing
rights of the Motherland Other timely
topics in this number are Forrest Girls

old-time Drummer" into the modern
high-salaried ''Traveling Salesman;
How Thieves Live" study in the
social side of Grimm ais, by Charles Som
erville, and two remarkable Photographic
