MUSlC-LOVING COWS.

Music pleases man and beast. The
author of the book of Job records the
effects of the trumpet on the horse,
and writer in the American Nat
uralist tells of herd of cows that
was greatly moved by the music of a
band. Twelve or thirteen cows in a
herd were grazing in large field OPP
posite dwelling house. One day a
German band began playing on the
road dividing the house from the
field. No sooner did the cows hear
the music than they came from the
farther end of the field, and standing
with their heads over the dividing
stone fence quietly listened to the
music. On the departure of the mu-
sicians, the cows followed them as
far as they could on the other side OF
the wall. When they could go no
farther, they stood lowing piteously
Some of them became so excited that
they ran round and round the field
seeking to get out. Finding no out
let, they returned to the corner where
they had lost sight of the band, and
remained there for long time.

SKEPTIc SON LOST FORTUNE

Because his son Joshua could never
be induced to believe in the Bible as
a Divinely inspired writing, but looked
upon 1t simply as the work of good
ancient novelist, the father, David Ba-
ker of Collins, Miss, cut him off in his
will with five dollars, while to each OF
his other children he left fortune.
David Bakers last will and tesla
ment adds the final chapter to the his
tory of unique character Two years
ago he began making cement blocks,
and as each one dried he laid it with
elaborate ceremony on the walls of
house. A few weeks ago the last one
was put in place and roof added, and
six-room bungalow was ready for
himself and wife. Then in few days
his wife died, and Baker, heartbroken
over her death and the uselessness OF
two years spent in building home,
followed her to the grave.

Why all this fuss and controversy
as to whether it was Cook or Peary,
or either of them, or both, that dis
covered the north pole? Surely the
center of the earth is as important as
either extremity; and the Zuni Indi.
ans have the center safely corralled
and appropriately upon their reserva.
ton.
In the Zuni cosmogony, the earth is
conceived of as fat and shaped like a
pancake. Being a chosen people of
the gods, they were commanded early
in their tribal career to go to the ex.
act center of the world, and there
build their homes; and one of the
most interesting legends of the people
relates the story of their wandering
in search of the Middle Place." and
tells how they knew it when they
reached it, 1t is about 200 yards south
of their village, in western New Next
co, 35 miles south of Gallup, on the
Santa Fe route. 1t is marked by a
crude shrine, built like bake oven,
out of fiat stones. Two large remov-
able fagstones close the entrance,
which faces the rising sun. On the
top are number of concretionary for
nations, known to the Indians as
thunder stones" In the interior are
large numbers of feather-tufted prayer
sticks, and several earthenware yes
sells filled with sacred meal Numerous
ceremonial dances, in the nature OF
rain-making rites, are performed
around this holy place.

There is also a cow on the premises,
and one evening the crow heard the
invitation, Come, milk the COW,
since which time, just as the sun be-
gins to sink behind the western hills,
the crow student calls out, Come,
milk the cow" and keeps repeating it
until that duty is performed.

SNAKES IN RAILWAY CARS

The railway station of Bragulia
(Servia) is so infested with snakes
that special precautions are taken
when trains stop there to prevent the
reptiles from entering the compart-
ments. An Englishwoman coming
from Constantinople was appalled, to
find small snake coiled round the
handle of her travelling bag. The con.
sequent search resulted in the discov
cry of several other snakes among
the passengers rugs.
