A famous rarity in the vegetable
world Of Borneo is the rafilesia, the
buah pakmah of Malays. The plant
is one of the most degraded of para
sites, and SO completely does it sub
merge itself in the tissues of its host
that the only part which ever shows
itself to the external worM is the
enormous flower. The diameter of
the flower measures about two feet.
The odor is repulsive, and there is
not one feature of beauty to recon-
mend it to man. 1t appears, how
ever, to hold al important place in
the pharmacopoeia of the natives,
who perhaps imagine that the plant
to which nature has given SO unin-

WHO WAS WRONG?
A Lawyers Opinion on Lease and .
Courts Decision.

Some years ago an attorney was
called in by large company and
handed lease.
GIVE us your opinion" said the
president. 1--WE have great deal
of this sort of legal business, and it
is only fair to say that your opinion
NAV mean much to US and to your
self"
The lawyer went through the
document with some care, but quick
ly and on the spot.
"Um--will you tell me what firm
drew up this instrument 2" he asked
at length.
NO firm ut ALL" was the reply.
"For five years we have drawn every
lease made by our company right in
this Office. My subordinate here,
Mr.. Johns, is the only man we have
ever found who thoroughly under
stands the co Implications and condi-
tons of such transactions as we en-
ter into"
The attorneys face frightened.
"This is one of the best drawn
leases I have ever examined" he
said heartily. "You are wise to
handle such matters inside your own
organization. / commend your bust
ness judgment"
"Can you suggest any improve
ments?"
"None whatever" declared the
lawyer.
"Can you discern any faws?"
"No-emphatically! Mr.. Johns,"
continued the attorney, turning to
the presidents assistant, 81 want to
congratulate you, as a lawyer, upon
your thorough grasp of this most
difficult branch. In my opinion this
instrument is unassailable. 1t will
hold in the highest court of this
state"

honest opinion" said the president

much obliged to you and shall be
pleased to have bill for your serv.

Care and Management.

The profits in pork making depend
as much on the care and management
OF the breeding stock and of the
young pigs as on breeding or feeding.
To keep a boar and not get the best
service from him is very expensive
way Of starting in. We are confident
that the most expensive way to keep
boar is to allow him to run at large
with the sows. lie forms bad habits,
is difficult to control, and becomes
much more expensive to keep than If
he had been provided with a we'll
fenced lot and had crops grown for
him to Craze. The sows are less like
~ to get in pig, and the time OF far
rowing being unknown, neither the
SOW nor the young pigs receive the
care needed to produce best results.
There is much complaint of large
sows lying on their pigs, and the rea-
son usually given is that they are too
fat. This is rarely SO. A sow In
good fesh-what most Southern far
mers think too fat--will produce
more pigs, stronger pigs, and suckle
them better afterward. If suitable
houses were provided, with good
board floors, and fender around the
outside of the house, and only little
short material used for bedding, few
pigs would be killed by their moth
ers.
1t is frequently stated that the
"razor-back" when allowed to farrow
out in the woods never kills her pigs.

Staten Island village. He had en-
joyed the best kind of reputation up
to the time he took that position, but
before he had held the job three
months, hardly person in the town
would speak to him. In the opinion
of the general public, to scoop up
poor little, defenseless doggies aSd

The Nerve Of Woman.

"If / had my wife's head and nerve
I'd own half Of Wall Street In less
than five years." said the man. ut
is the way she manages the clothes
proposition that arouses me to won
der and admiration. Here is an ex-
ample of her thrift:
Early in February she bought a
broadcloth dress, spring style, which,
with the extra charge for alterations,
cost SIS. Well, after she got the
suit home she did not like it. The
store objected to taking it back at
first, but her persuasive tongue won
them over, and, after deducting SIS
for the alterations, they refunded the
money.
Last week, when nosing around
for bargains, she saw that same suit
on sale for $35. My wife, it seems,
has such peculiar figure that the
suit, after being made to fit her..
would not fit anybody else, so there
was that $50 garment, and cheap at
the price, going for almost one-third
OF. She, of course snatched up the
bargain. No more fitting or making
over was necessary, so even when
counting in her IS for alterations,
she saved SIS on the deal. I'd Just

CHINESE BURIAL.
Preparations Elaborate, Especially

Preparations Elaborate, Especially
When II is an Emperor's Funeral.
The death OF the Emperor of China
happened far away, both in time and
distance. but the embassy which left
St. Petersburg on Saturdayto attend
the funeral will find itself in ample
time for the ceremony.
The Chinese are not inclined to
hustle, especially when they are
burying an Emperor. The successor
to the throne must indulge In one
hundred days of "unrestrained
grief" and the mourning of less
acute nature must continue for an
other two years.
The will of the dead monarch must
be carried to the gate Of Heavenly
Rest" and there read to the assem-
bled crowd. When the astrologers
appoint a favorable day the, comm is
taken to the temporary palace on the
hill within the imperial enclosure ac-
companied by the new ruler, who for
twenty-seven days presents fruit and
viands to the deceased.
Then the death name, by which
his virtues will be known to posterity,
is chosen for the dead man, and when
the powers on high and those on
earth have been introduced to his
late Majesty under the new cogno-
men, he may be removed to the
wooded valley fifty miles from Pekin,
where the dead Emperors of the
present dynasty repose. The new
Emperor goes along with it, or at
least receives it at every hating
place en- route.
Finally when food, money and
clothes have been given to the de-
ceased he is left in peace. 1t is a
long business, this funeral, and the
Russian delegates have no need to
scurry across Asia for fear Of miss
ing it.-From the Pail Mall Gazette.

HOW POLICE DOGS ARE TRAINED
Consuls Tell of Success in Using Animals il
EupOnA
Europe.

The utilization of dogs as guardians
Of the public peace and in the detec-
ton and rounding up of criminals in
Europe is interestingly described in
an illustrated monograph entitled:
Police and Work Dogs" issued by
the Bureau of Manufactures, Wash
ington. The information was gath
cred by Consul General Diederich, in
Antwerp, and Consul johnson, in
Licge, and tells of the use of dogs
by the police in Europe. There are
in Germany almost 500 police de-
partments that use dogs. The Com
mon Council of Paris is discussing
the advisability Of spending about
$25O0 year for the development of
the police-dog system.
The difficult and wonderful feats
accomplished by the Belgian shep-
herd dog are strikingly shown. The
animal is required to undergo a long,
difficult training for attack, defense
and scouting. Several animals which
came up for civil service examination
won diplomas by going through the
training lessons with remarkable ac-
curacy and intelligence. The service
of the police dog includes guarding
any object in the absence of its mas
ter defense of its master when sud
denly attacked; tracing individuals;
making known hiding places by bsgk-

HOW to use Low-Grade RIG.

AAOW w OSO AlOtN-NAA 0uO AeACNe
The problem Of utilizing the con-
siderable quantities Of iow-grade.
stack-burned and stained rice that are
produced every year is again receiv-
Ing attention from rice millers and
growers in Louisiana and Texas. This
Is quite natural, since the Southern
planter is compelled to pay compar-
atively high price for feeding stuffs
for his stock and could effect a decid-
ed saving by using the off-grade IL it
could be made available.
The difficulty OF using rough rice
as stock food Is on account of the
hulls, which irritate the intestines Of
stock and are liable to cause serious
injury. For the same reason the mix
ing Of rice hulls with other feeding
stuffs is regarded as the worst form
Of adulteration.
OF course the low-grade rice has a
high feeding value, and 1t is now sug-
gested that 1t could be put in condi-
ton for feeding by simply removing
the hulls. One Of the Louisiana MILL
ing companies is advocating that this
be done, and 1t is stated that so 1000
bags Of rough rice could readily be
used in this way for stock feeding In
the rice country. Rice Industry.
