WATER YIELDING TREES.

There are trees in Queensland that
yield supply Of water to the thirsty.
There are three varieties of euca-
lyptus.
The gum tree is the best. 1t grows
on sandy or light, loamy soil, and
throws out numerous lateral roots at
a depth of about nine inches from
the surface of the ground. The posi-
tion of these roots was ascertalned
by the blacks by repeatedly jabbing
the points of spear or sharpened
stick in the soft earth at distance
of about six or eight feet from the
trunk of the tree. The soil was then
removed with q wooden shovel for
some twenty feet or more and the root
cut off at either end. This was then
cut up into lengths of about eighteen
Inches. the bark knocked of, and the
lengths stood on end In some re-
ceptacle to contain the water.
In many cases the blacks used
bag made of the entire skin of the
male wallaby. AS soon as all these
pieces we're placed on end the oper-
ator, beginning with the first placed,
put the end in his mouth, and by a
vigorous puff expelled the remaining
water. The size of the roots chosen
was. with the bark on, about the
thickness Of mans wrist. The
larger ones. being more woody and
less porous. contain little or no water.
The water is beautifully clear, cool
and free from any unpleasant taste
or smell. Herald.

Make Religion u Reality.

Real religion must either be out
for business or go out of business.
1t must either make the world better,
be doing things for the ideals which
IL sees, or acknowledge that it is moth
ing but dream or a delusion. Now
when one is in the thick of as big an
undertaking as religion sets before
him. nothing less than the redemption
of the whole world, he has no energy
left to wonder whether he is as good
as he ought to be.
The sickly saints are always worry
ing over their souls; their spiritual
llvers are always out OF order be-
cause they are perpetually examining
hem. They complain and groan so
much that the ignorant, hearing
them, imagine religion to be n mourn
tul affair. The pious hypochrondriacs
are so near to hypocrites that they
have the same effect on others.

When the green stalks are given to
hogs care should be used TO prevent
cattle from having access to the
woody fiber which the swine will
leave after chewing the stalks. Pigs

cattle, especially the younger stock.

Mr.. Gunckel twenty-five years or

merely familiar.

A demonstration of the practical
advantages of good ventilation has
been experienced at the Cambridge
station OF the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. The
tollroom in the building is long and
narrow. with windows at the front
and back. In winter, when the win
dows could not be opened with safety.
the air became vitiated quickly. In
the spring OF 1907 duet was built
along the ceiling, opening to the
street at the front. and discharging
air into the room by one and quar-
tor-inch holes, fans being placed in
the rear wall to exhaust the vitiated
air from the room. The entire cost
OF the installation was SIS, and a
marked improvement in the comfort
and general condition OF the opera
tors followed this change. In the
winter OF 1907-S the average per-
centage OF absences among the sixty
odd operators was cut in two. In the
three winter months alone this saving
amounted 70 1.s times the wages of
the operators. equivalent TO a profit
OF s1s5 for tho company. on its capi-

Grind the Corn For Finishing PIGS.


Fattening hogs will usually finish
faster on cornmeal than on shelled
corn, and many farmers favor corn
meal for that reason. Experiments
covering the quantity fed plainly
show, however. that hogs given corn
meal eat more feed in a given time
than those on shelled corn. When
both the feed eaten and the gains
made are taken into consideration the
profit in favor of cornmeal is consid-
erably less than many suppose. Corn
and cob meal has been shown to have
about the same value as pure corn
meal; il any advantage is had from
corn and cob meal, as is claimed by
some stockmen, It, no doubt, largely
comes from the bulk furnished by
the particles of cob, which by render
ing the contents OF the stomach less
compact or more porous helps to their
easier and more complete digestion.

Sumter Citizen Il Suicide.

was shocked this morning when it
was learned that another Of Sumter's
citizens had committed suicide. J.
II. WitherSpOon, manager Of the
WithersDoon BROTHERS Furniture Co.,
deliberately took his own life about
s o'clock this morning by drinking
carbolic acid.
Last night Mr.Witherspoon bought
four ounces of carbolic acid, sup
posedly to treat his little sons foot,
the boy having stuck nail in his
foot. Yesterday he seemed to be in
the best OF spirits. and no one had
any idea that he contemplated such
rash act. This morning he was
missed from his home, and when
search was made. his lifelesS body
was found in the toilet with an emp
ty four-ouncc bottle marked carbolic
acid lying nearby.
No cause has been assigned to
show why Mr. Withcrspoon should
take his own life.

NfUZZLE YOUR DOG.

Did you know that it Is against the
local laws to permit your dog to
roam at large unmuzzled? And did
you ever stop to think that you IRE
not only violating the law when you
do permit 1T, but are also menacing
children especially and grown people
as well?
And II your dog runs at large, is
caught and impounded, and If you
fail to take 1t out of the officers
hands by paying 81 within "a hours,
and that dog Is shot, how much Of
personal Crude will you hold against
the officers Of the town? You cannot
have any just ground for injured
FEELINGS. The fault lies with the
owner of the dos.
In this connection we reproduce
here Section 3 Of Ordinance No. 2. of
local laws:
Section 3. That any dog running
at large within the corporate limits
between the 1st day of June and the
1st day Of October, without muZzle,
! is liable to be seized and retained foT
a period Of twenty-fOur hours, dur
ing which time his owner can redeem
him by paying the sum of one dollar,
and If not SO redeemed, the dog shall
then be sold or shot. at the discre-
tion Of the Mayor. That any owner
Of dog or dogs who shall let such
dog or dogs run at large on the
streets Of the town without being
muzzled shall be deemed guilty Of
misdemeanor, and shall be punished
at the discretion Of the Mayor, with
in the limits of his authority. Pro-
vided, That nothing in this Section
shall be construed as applying to
dogs belonging to any party or par
ties passing through the Town OF
Walhalla."
The question of rabies is one that
is attracting the attention of the
medical fraternity all over the coun-
try. There is a cure for rabies, but
no certain cure except prevention
and IAN ounce Of prevention is worth
pound Of cure
On this line DR.. Kerr, one Of the
prominent and eminent physicians
attending the conference recently
held in Washington, d. c., for the
discussion Of the subject Of rabies,
made this very timely statement i'm
closing his remarks, which were
based on careful study and research
covering period CT several years:
"Public opinion is becoming rap
idly educated to the necessity Of muz-
Zling dogs as the only certain way of
overcoming the disease. 1t is quite
as reasonable to require the muzzling
of dogs as it is to prohibit the free
roaming Of cattle and horses in the
streets"
At this conference the two diseases
rabies and lcprosy--wcre consid-
cred in connection. and the general
trend Of the doctors views was to-
ward the belief that this whole coun-
try, by States, counties and munich
palities, must combat these two dis
eases by concerted action If their
spread is to he checked-and the
more dangerous Of the two diseases
WAS considered to be rabies, by rea-
son of it's greater ! "evalence and
the cOmmOnneSs of its main source
worthless, roaming dogs.
Moral: Muzzlc your dog or keep
it at home.
