W. Are Nation Of Man KilIsrs.
Statistics show that 5000 murders
and homicides are committed annually
in. the United States. Less than 2 per
cent Of these criminals pay the pen

gained the stigma Of a nation Of man

Died From Terror.
Perhaps the most remarkable death
from fear was that of the Dutch paint
er Pentman. who lived in the seven
teenth century. One day he went into
room full Of anatomical subjects to
sketch some DEATHS heads and skele-
tons for a picture he intended to paint.
The weather was very snltry. and
while sketching he fell asleep. He
was aroused by bones dancing around
him and the skeletons suspended from
the ceiling clashing together In at

Live Stock Notes.

Nine times out Of ten ''slobber1ng" is
caused by rough or sharp edges Of the
teeth Irritating the sides of the mouth.
Many horses after reaching fifteen
years are bothered by their teeth.
An English remedy to prevent horses
from gnawing hangers and feed
troughs is to give the wood coat Of
tar, put on with an old broom while
bot. It is claimed that this is a sure
cure for an annoying and destructive
habit .
Boys and girls should be taught to
milk the cows. separate the cream
and churn. 1t Is great handicap to
children to rear them ignorant OF such
necessary work around the home. Let
them have care OF the COWS and teach
them to treat the animals kindly.
The mysterious actions of horse
which whirls and bites himself saw
agely are due undoubtedly to the pres
ence of worms In unusual numbers.
The rubbing of the tail is another
symptom. A wise course of treatment
is to give pint Of raw oil or four
drains of aloes in ball. After it has
ceased to act give a vermifuge.
The milk house or milk room should
be separate from the barn. so that no
odors from the barn will penetrate 1t.
1t need not be expensive, but should
be built so that sunlight and ventila-
tion are not obstructed. 1t should be
provided with plenty Of cold water and
also with some method Of providing
hot water or steam for cleaning the
utensils It should have smooth walls
and ceilings. such as can easily be
kept clean. The milk house should not
be used as a general storeroom.

A Los. That Was Felt.

Captain Hardess Lloyd, the famous
polo player, was talking in New York
about the cessation Of hogging at the
great English public school Of Eton.
II am glad" he said, that flogging
is now done away with. Elton boys
used to suffer a good deal from the
birch. There was one Eton master in
the seventies who flogged SO severely
that his death, when he came to die.

the shipping news. They announced 1t
