A CAMP WATER COOLER.

The principle of keeping drinking
water cool in hot weather by evapo-
ration has been long familiar to the
inhabitants of most of the tropical
countries. In India, for example,
porous water jars are in common use.
The miners in the Kimberly diamond
fields, in South Africa, have a de-
vice which is so simple that it should
commend itself to boys who are
planning to camp out.
1t takes the form of canvas bag,
made by doubling a strip of canvas
two feet long and foot wide, and
sewing the sides and top very closely
with waxed cotton cord. When the
bag is sewed at the top small space
is left open at one corner. In this
is inserted the neck of a good sized
bottle, care having been taken to cut
the glass as smoothly and evenly as
possible, SO that there may be no
danger from broken particles, and
the canvas is sewed tight round it.
1t will be found convenient to at
tach two stout cords to the top cor
ners and to tie them to shert pole,
which will serve as a handle by
which to carry the bag. Fill the
cooler with water, cork it tightly and
hang it under a tree. There will be
certain amount of leakage and
evaporation, and this will keep the
water cool with the thermometer well
above the hundred mark. = Youths

THE NEGLECTED. CARROT.
Without Friend, Seemingly, In the
Hotels and Restaurants.

noteIS ana restaurants.
"If people did but know it, said a
man who has made st1dy Of the food
question, carrots are among the most
nutritious and delightful vegetables
that grow and yet it is almost impos
sible to get them in the average res
taurant.
Mashed carrots to my mind, make
a delightful dish, tasty and healthful,
and yet have failed to find this dish
on any bill of fare so far, and have
examined a good many carefully in
the hope of finding the carrot recog-
nized as it should be recognized. You
can get mashed turnips almost any
where you go, but the only use they
have for carrots is to flavor soup or
stews, although now and then one
does strike them served in cream as
dolicacy.
"But why not serve them like po-
tatoes and turnips? Carrots are
splendid for the blood, good for the
complexion and at night are suppos-
ed to be quieting. Their digestibility
if served mashed surpasses nearly all
other vegetables. A delicate stomach
will get away with them when other
vegetables would work harm.
"And yet the carrot seems to be
without friend in the restaurants
and hotels. You can't even find them
in the list of vegetables to be cooked
to order. 1t may be different with
some other nations, but here appar
emily we have no use for them and
the person who wants mashed carrots
will have to cook them at his own
freside."

Too Much Enthusiasm.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an "hon.
est" horse trader. He would not lie
about a horse. He would merely sup
press the truth. Incidentally he al
ways beat the customer who dealt
with him. The way he could slur over
the defects and buzz about the virtues
of an animal amounted to genius.
Once Hank was trying to sell q
neighbor horse that had an eye
which was nearly sightless. The
neighbor knew Hank would not lie
outright to him, SO he questioned the
horse trader as to various points of
the brute.
"How about his sight? Can he see
out Of both eyes?"
Sure" said Hank, "he's got good
eyes," Here he leaned forward, his
eyes fairly scintillating with suppress
ed honesty. Zone eye is particularly
good"
Hanks enthusiasm for the truth had
carried him too far. The deal was
off.-Tulsa Post.

The Old Codger Tells How Young DR..
Smart II Transformed.
"When l used to be ailing-had
spring fever, say, or some such pal
try complaint" philosoruminatingly
said the Old Codger, I'D send for
young Doctor Smart. whose office
hours were from to / and from 2
to 4:3O, and he'd come snip-step-
ping, dogskin-gloved and ege-glassed
and give me little something late
and scientific, and say considerable
about therapeutics and auto-sugges-
ton and sanitation, and all such,
and shut his medicine-case with a
conclusive snap, and with all cure
me, and send his bill around prompt
ly on the first.
But when was really sick, when
l was down and under and weakly
scrabbing for straws and up-gug-
ging for dear life. 1 always sent for
old Doc. Pillsbury, who didn't have
an Office hour to his name, but would
come boging along, any time day or
night. no matter how deep the snow
was or it was raining pftchfolks with
the tines down, and flsp down his old
saddle-bags, faithful relics of the
days when he couldn't afford bug
gy and travelled on horseback, and
grin at me like an amiable hyena
and gimme dose that would lift my
hair. And away along towards
morning, when I'd wake up feeling
better. I'd see pudgy old Doc. hump
ed over fast asleep in the red rocker,
where he had sat all night waiting
to see what the medicine would do
to me. When I'd speak he'd jump
wide awake, and kinda grin and say
that he didn't know as it was really
worth while to try to save such
trifling reprobate. anyhow, but he'd
got the habit and couldn't quit. And,
likely as not, he'd forget to send the
bill at all.
well, nowadays I'm employing
Doctor Smart alone, b'cuz old Doc.
Pillsbury has gone to get his pay
where all debts are lquidated In full
with +he surplus running over into
the saucer. 1t was storming like all
fury that night, SO 1 presume old
Doc. didn't feel at all surprised
when the last call came, and-well,
anyhow. Doctor Smart amt as nippy
as he used to be. and wear mittens
In cold weather new, and Is getting
gray, and has no Office hours any
more. and is generally called Doc
by US who are best acquainted with
him, and Is talking less about thera-

THE WEIGHT OF THE EARTH.

The earth weighs $4,000 ,0O0. 000.-
100000, O0O, 900, 900 pounds. In a
strict sense of the word the earth has
no weight at all, because the weight
is really the pull Of the earth itself
on any other body.
And as the earth Is thought to be
pulling on all parts of itself equally
In all directions, the net result is, Of
course, no pull at all. But if large
pair of scales be fixed at some point
Of the earth's surface, and if the
earth could be brought up bit by bit,
cubic foot by cubic foot, weighed
and then returned to its place, 1t
could be weighed. And the result
would be as given. However, when
We talk of the weight Of the earth,
we really mean its mass.
The possibility Of finding the mass
Of the earth is due to Newton. For
he taught that bodies pulled each
other with force depending solely up
On their mass and their distance
apart. He showed the way, and ten
years after his death the first real
weighing experiment was made. A
succession Of experiments resulted in
the density of the earth being deter
mined at IL. Then came the in
vestigations of Mitchell and Caven-
dish, and finally those Of Prof. Boys,
who found that the earth was 5.521
times the density Of water
The weight of a cubic foot of water
Is about &C IL pounds. And the aver
age weight Of a cubic foot Of earth
is about $50 pounds, or about i've
and a half times as much as the cubic
foot of water. But this is quite
imaginary, for specimens of,the earth
can be obtained only by mere
scratches upon its surface. It has
been shown by the pendulum that
the earth's pull varies at different
points on it's surface. By timing the
same pendulum at different parts Of
the surface it can be found out how
the weight varies from point to
point.

CHINESE FAN MAKING.

Writing Of fanmaking in southern
China, Consul Pontius. at Swallow,
Gays:
This Industry was started centur-
ia ago in the village Of Pengchows
at Ampow. about three miles from
Swatow. 1t was formerly confined
to women in various householders,
but for many years past every family
in the village has been devoted to
the work, all the members of the
families being occupied in the manu-
facture. In the city of Chaochowfu
itself the fan industry is also large
but the Pengchow district abounds In
a particular kind Of bamboo espec-
tally suitable for the ribs and handle,
and to this fact is the large output
of the latter place attributed.
"Only the open fan Is manufac-
tured in this district. For the frame
the split bamboo Is repeatedly rived
until each piece is sufficiently slend-
ar and flexible. These thread-like
pieces of bamboo are arranged in a
row. attached to each other by a
thread passed crosswise through the
middle This thread is fastened to a
semi-circular strip of bamboo, giving
the fan its shape. The ribs are then
slightly heated and bent at the ends.
The fan has now the peculiar and
characteristic shelllike shape at the
top. Very flimsy silk gauze Is then
pasted on the face and a kind of It's
sue-like paper on the back. After
the handle is attached, the border Of
the fan is black vanished and the
gauze is coated with a chalk and wa
ter mixture. The handles are made
of bamboo, various kinds of hard
wood bone and ivory. The hand.
painting on the fan is cleverly done,
in some instances being works of
art. The medium quality fan retails
for Is cents Mexican 90 cents gold.)
better grades 81 to 81 Mexican (40
cents to $500 The export syearly
now amount to about $4,000. The
fan trade Of late has shown de-
crease, due to the importation OF
Japanese straw fans, which have met
with a favorite demand"

Trick That Texas Hogs Know.

A few days ago two prominent cit
izens of Whitney, Major J. X. Dunn
and Matt McGown, visited large
plum orchard situated four miles from
town with the idea of gathering a
basketful Of the fruit Upon arriving
at the orchard they noticed that the
bark Of the trees was bruised and
torn foot or more from the ground.
AS all the trees seemed to be in this
condition they began to wonder what
could have been the cause.
Finally they noticed a number Of
hogs in the orchard and the truth be-
gan to dawn upon the amazed visitors
that the hogs had been shaking the
trees to cause the plums to fall. Up
on further investigation they found
that the smaller trees had been rid
den down by the hogs and stripped
of all their fruit. From the markings
on the trees there can be no mistake
but that the hogs had learned in some
way or other that shaking the trees
would cause the ripe fruit to fall
