curiosities Of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height Of
her power, when she was most highly
civilized and delighted in being called
the mistress Of the land and sea. her
people worshiped a black bull. There
was some discrimination, however,
even in this form of worship. In order
to be an object of mad alteration it was
that the bull calf be born
with a circular white spot in the ex-
act center of his forehead. and the
advent of such a creature in any herd
was the signal of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border
Of the Lybian desert. Even as late as
the time of Cleopatra. star eyed god
dess, glorious sorceress Of the Nile.
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal. Herodotus tells of a man who
died with grief because he sold a COW
that soon after became the mother Of a
black bull calf marked with the sacred
white circle In his forehead.

In old time England each constitu-

mept a horse to carry him to West
minister and also paid his expenses on
the road. These expenses, together
with an allowance for each day spent
on duty at the house Of commons, gen.
orally at the rate Of so cents O day,
were refunded in one lump sum when
the member returned home at the end
Of the parliamentary year. Sir F. De

on Andover in the general election OF

bill is typical Of the reckoning he had
to pay: "ro being thrown out Of the

They say that at one time there was

There was a great council on the sub

frog could be made to laugh the wa.
tiers would run out Of his mouth and
the drought be ended.
so several animals were made to
dance and caper before the frog to in.
duce him to laugh. but he did not ever
smile. and so the waters remained in
his body. Then some one happened to
think Of the queer contortions into
which the eel could twist itself, and II
was straightway brought before the
frog, and when the frog saw the wrig
Cling he laughed so loud that the
whole earth trembhed, and the waters
poured out Of his mouth in a great
food, In which many people were
drowned.
The black people were saved from

Crop Rotation for Missouri

The matter of crop rotation is
being given o and more at
tention by Missouri farmers. This
is partly due to the fact that
most lands are no longer produc-
ing crops under straight grain
farming. Farmers are therefore
driven to a change of crops to
keep the land productive. The
rotation which should be adopted
on any farm naturally depends
upon a number of factors, such as
the type of farming, the crops best
adapted to the region, the market
facilities, the labor supply, etc.
There are however, certain es-
sentials to every rotation which
should be considered. The most
important of these is that the ro-
tation should contain a legume
crop such as clover or cowpeas,
at least once in four years if it
is to be permanently successful.
A system of rotation such as
corn, oats, clover has a rather
wide adoption in Missouri; also g
rotation of corn, wheat, clover, OIL
one of corn, oats or wheat, clover
and timothy two years. Another
zone particularly adapted to lands
! of rather low fertility, is that Of
corn, cowpeas, wheat, clover. II
this rotation, cowpeas may be
seeded in the corn at the last cul-
tivation to be pastured off with
sheep or hogs, Or rye may be seed

A Story Of Heinrich Heins and q
Toothsome Lyons Sausage.

Toothsome Lyons Sausage.
Returning from a journey to the
south of France, Heinrich Eeine met q
friend, a German violinist, in Lyons,
who gave him a large sausage that
had been made in Lyons with tho
request to deliver it to a mutual &C.
quaintance. a homeopathic physician.
In Paris. Heine promised to attend
to the commission and intrusted the
delicacy to the care Of his wife. who
was travelling with him. But as the
postchaise was very slow and he
soon became very hungry, on the ad-
vice Of his wife both tasted Of tho
sausage. which dwindled with every
mile.
Arriving at Paris. Heine did not
dare to send the remainder to the
physician. and yet he wished to keep
his promise. So he cut OF the thin
nest possible slice with his razor
wrapped 1t In a sheet of vellum paper
and inclosed 1t in ar envelope. with
the following note:
Dear Doctor-From your scientific inves-
legations we learn that the millionth part
OF a certain substance brings about the
greatest results. I beg. therefore, your
kind acceptance of the accompanying mil
lionth part of a Lyons sausage. which our
friend gave me to deliver to you. II
homeopathy is a truth, then this little
piece will nave the same effect on you as
the whole sausage. Your

When Silence Is Deadly.

Silence Is commonly the slow poison
used by those who mean TO murder
love. There is nothing violent about
1t. No shock is given. Hope Is not
abruptly strangled, but merely dreams
Of evil and fights with gradually std
Hing shadows. When the last convul-
sions come they are not terrific. The
frame has been weakened for dissolu-
ton. Love dies like natural decay. IL
seems the kindest way of doing n
cruel thing.-George Meredith.
