When We Are Angry.

According TO DR.. Maurice de Fleury,
a distinguished French scientist, ev-
cry time one becomes angry ones vi
tally sinks After even the most art

the vitality becomes smaller and
Anger is a certain kind Of cerebral
excitement, explains DR.. de Fleury.
The hypersthenic subject is always on
its verge. while the neurasthenic be-
bound of reaction excited from with
out. But at that moment when they
are let loose the two are alike, save
that the strong man is a binder
brute. while the weak man is some
what OF an actor and seems to aim at
effect.
Prof. LANCE, OF the University OF
Copenhagen, holds that ''all emotions
are due to disorders of the circulation
of the blood. and anger, in particular,
to a very intense dilation of the small
arteries of the BRAIN He describes
redness and swelling of the face as a
constant sign of anger, forgetting the
white rage" which is so frequent and
impressive.
But he has brought into strong re-
lief this capital fact-that anger is a
state of general EXPERIMENTATION. The
whole organism, the muscles and
glands - for anger has its tears,
sweats and foaming of the mouth
set in action by a superabundance of
nervous influx, begin TO work to ex-
cess, acting for the mere sake of act

utility, solely TO relieve Overtension.

"PAPA'S LITTLE SON."
&S%&%W% N%%%


When Josephine Aiken came into the
room her mother was listening to some
thing that the dressmaker was telling.
Yes, papa's little son was too much
for me-" were the first words she
caught. Il wouldn't sew there again
FOR ten dollars Il day. Before | ever
got into the house, you know, he jerked
away from her, naughty as he could be
and came jumping down the steps. and
somehow put his feet right through the
front breadth of my best black taffeta
skirt. She; Sorry? That was the
point. She got him up in her arms
big armful, too-and lugged him back
into the fiat, hugging and kissing him
and saying. Don't feel bad, muzzy's
darling. Didn't mean to tear Miss
Lindon's skirt, did he, sweetheart boy:
Muzzy knows he's sorry-needn't tell
her word See this mournful little
face. Miss Lindon. Muzzy'n have to
give him a piece of candy to make him
happy again."
Miss Lindon," exclaimed Mrs
Aiken.
THAT isn't a circumstance. At lunch
she put his chair between us. and asked
me TO excuse her for serving him first
he was SO impatient! And such ac-
tons at the table. Food all round his
plate AID some scattered into my lap,
if you'll believe it. And, to cap the eli
max, just as we were leaving the table,
she dumped him into my arms and
Just forced him to plaster wet kisses all
over my face, TO make up for tearing
my skirt, You ought to have seen me

She was like ice to me the whole aft
ernoon, and all the time talking baby

with my things without once offering
TO stop him. He is caution for mis-
chief, you know, besides being of a
mean disposition.

that house was when her husband
came home at night and she kept tell

tant that whatever will serve to pre-
pare country children for life on the
farm, and whatever will brighten home
life in the country and make it richer
and more attractive for the mothers,
wives and daughters of farmers, should
be done promptly, thoroughly and glad

TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE.
Those who love the sun and Those
Who Are Happiest in the shade.


Who Are Happiest in the shade.
DIR. SardOu of Paris declares that n

disposition To seek the sunshine or 10

ing a specific influence on the psychical
as well as the physical composition Of
the individual. And SO the doctor has
divided human kind into two cate
gories-friends of the shade and
friends of the sun.
Belonging To the first category are
all nervous subjects, the mentally I'M
settled. drunkards and dyspeptics, who
are also as a rule agoraphobes, or
haters of public places. Dawn, says
Sardou. is the proper time to study the
heliophile or the heliophobe. There ex-
lists in normal beings possessing good
health, and who are sound of mind and
limb. besides mentally well poised, a
disposition, once the sun rises, to adj
vance toward its rays. When they
fall i'll, however, the tendency is TO
shun them.
In test he once made among large
number of young folks he found that
the children of degenerates, who were
themselves disposed to the bad rather
than the good, evinced not only COM
plete apathy but n distinct aversion to
the influence of solar rays in the early
hours of the morning. On the other
hand. the we'll disposed and well con

moral barometer owing TO deprivation
of the suns rays.

The Farmers Cow.

If there Is to be any such thing as
middle ground as between the milking
breeds and beef breeds of cattle in the
to the general farmers needs, it would
seem that the milking type of Short
horn would furnish the material for
rounding out this type, to be known rs
the farmers COW, says the st. Louis
Weekly Star.
Twist matters as we may, the all
beef and-no-surrender COW does not re-
spond to the needs of the avera &c
farmer any more satisfactorily than
does the cow bred and trained for milk
and milk only. And this circumstance
Is at the bottom of the interest in
Shorthorn circles Of today, and it
would seem that this unrest will not
down to stay until there is developed
within the Shorthorn breed strain of
cattle characterized by high milking
qualities. The fact is this sort OF thing
Is today under contemplP ION by the
American Shorthorn Bree 1ers' Asso-
citation, as indicated by the classified.
ton in prize lists. The idea is thus TO
offer the incentive, and to accept it as
a logical conclusion that Shorthorn
breeders will line themselves up accord
ingly.
While il Is true the Shorthorn breed
will show up a larger per cent Of cows
that are good mixers thar NAV be
found in other breeds it will also be
found true th>s the one way Of making
advancement in the line indicated must
be through actual and systematic ex-
erclse of the milking function under
direction of skilled hands. Special mat
ings to this end are all right i'm their
way. but this particular line of effort
taking progresses in years. Just now
stress is TO be put upon the selection
of cows of the proper type and tenn
permanent. and showing a tendency tc
heavy milk production. That is the
first step. The next step is to adopt
feeding ration that will produce a
flow of milk rather than go to the pro
ductim Of beef. If the Sh0rthorn
breed is ever to produce distinct
strain of milking cows worthy Of the
name It must come about through the
adoption of methods rs outlined above.
It is not matter TO be accomplished
through the simple process of matin.
or breeding. as the term is generally
accepted in breeders parlance.
The evolution of the farmers cow
may vet result from the foundation

FOR TELEPHONES.
Wire Fences Used to Convey Mes.
sages I'm the West and Southwest.


sages I'm the West and Southwest.
In the West and Southwest where
there are long stretches of unbroken
wire fences, these wires are frequently
used to convey telephone messages
from one point to another.
In some localities the fence wires are
converted into regular telephone lines,
with permanent equipment for practi-
cal use. These lines are often from ten
to thirty miles long, and are a great
convenience TO people of the ranches.
The United States Signal Corps is
well trained in the use Of wire fences
for telephone purposes. In the mill
tary maneuvers that take place in the
ranch region the Signal Corps plays an
important part in directing the move
ment of the troops by improvised tele-
phones.
In some localities where the country
is rough or heavily wooded it is i'm
possible to convey the signals from one
point to another by the usual methods
of flags or other visual signals. 1t is
then the telephone is brought into play.
Each detachment of Signal Corps
men is equipped with field telephone
attachment. 1t requires the work of
but minute or two TO connect this at
tachment with fence wire and to get
into direct communication with head
quarters.
The use of the fence wire for tele-
phone communication obviates the
necessity of constructing temporary
field telephone lines by the Signal
Corps. 1t sometimes happens that a
little difficulty is encountered in using
the wires ON account of some poor
connection or break, but 1t usually
does not take long to discover and re-
move the cause of the trouble.
On some of the big ranches straight
lines of wire fence fifty to seventy-five
miles long are frequently found. These
afford excellent opportunity for mill
tary field service.
AS matter Of necessity all ranch
| fences must be kept in good repair. To
do this fence riders are constantly en-
ployed

After the leaves have fallen from

trunks and lower branches with some
thing that will kill the insects or their

One of the best washes for fruit
trees and shrubs is the Kerosene emul-
sion. 1t not only kills mature and i'm
