SNAlL'S TRIP ON RAZOR EDGE
Scientist Makes Interesting Discovery
While Studying moIlusk's Method
Of Locomotlon.

When phOtograpning the snail,
writes Professor Ward in the Strand,
Il was surprised at the fact that even
the rough cut edge Of a sheet Of glass
presented no difficulties 10 its loco
motion; its even pace was continued
10 spite Of the fact that the sharp cor
ner appeared to be penetrating its
body. There, too We have exhibited
the animals delicate sense of touch.
After l had placed the snail on the
butt Of a razor's blade it slowly moved
along the back of the blade and then
climbed completely over the sharp
edge, the razor being in excellent con.
dition. AS the successive waves
brought the fore part Of its foot near
the edge Of the blade it's head was
held low down, and the lower and
shorter pair Of feelers nearly touched
the blade, as if feeling the way.
AT the moment when the sharp
edge was reached the small feelers
were fully extended toward It, and
Just at the very instant when | ex-
pected to see them cut of they were
both instantly retPacted They were
little more than a hair breadth away.
and though the lower feelers possess
no eyes, yet by their sudden move,
ment was quite convinced that the
snail at that instant recognized dan
ger.
Still the foot Travelled on, and
slowly the snail dragged its whole
weight Of exactly one and a half
ounces over the edge, later moving to-
ward the butt and remaining perfectly
unharmed. The species experimental
with was the Roman or edible kind.
which accounts for its comparatively
large weight, It being the largest OF
British snails."

COOPERATIVE BANKING.

Farm and Fireside, an agricultural
paper published at Springfield, Ohio,
has been reporting a vital difference
that exists between the condition of
farmers in this country and farmers
in various parts of Europe Accord
ing to the author of hese articles one
of the reasons that American farmers
do not get as large Il share of the
profits of their busiress as they
should lies in the fact that they are
not organized for credit purposes,
while the trusts which handle the
products of the farmers are perfectly
organized for credit purposes. A
system of cooperative rural credits
called the Raiffeiseu System has
grown up in Germany to such an ex-
tent that last year the peasant farm
ers of Germany did a cooperative
banking business of yer $1,600,00O,
OOO. Following is an extract:
"In the United States, so far as
money is concerned, finance and COM
merce are organized and agriculture is
,.norganized, thus paving the way for
he trusts in agricultural products. In
Europe on the other hand co-opera-
live AGRICULTURAL credit is so strongly
organized that it makes the cornering
of the farmers products. and conse-
quently the debating of prices, a
practical impossibility.
why? Because the Raiffeisen Sys-
tenn of cooperative banking enables
the European farmer to convert the
potential dollars represented by his
assets and his character into available,
mobile dollars. 1t is the mobile dollar
which counts, which is effective. The
mobility of it's dollar renders the trust
the active and dominant factor in the
United States; the immobility of the
American farmers potential dollar
renders him the passi-Te and dependent
factor.
And so long as thu American farm
er is a passive and dependent factor,
he cannot hope to profit by the incom-
plete cooperative methods he now
employs. Whatever economies these
may produce are neutralized so long
as he does not free himself from the
defect above indicated; thes only serve
as additional sources of revenue TO be
raked in by that arcn croupier. the /
trust. -
of course, it will be understood

There are a lot of folks who think

Somebody in Salina has been stealing
plants out of the cemetery there, notes
the Grainfield Cap Sheaf, and it adds:
Any person guilty of so mean an act
should be made to run for office and
receive all the abuse generally shower
ed on a candidate.
Publishers who have to vouch for
their circulation to the federal govern
ment and mark their advertisements,
are beginning to wonder, writes Sin
full Peck in the Hiawatha News-Demo-

only truthful obituaries in the near
future.

WILD MUSTARD.

IN APRIL.
me wild sweet mustard mandates tie
A tawney flood the grasses cannot stem.
Ii washes higher with each hour of rain
And rises where the hills with lifted
hem
Wade out to meet it, laughing each to
each,
Like children romping on a river beach
It's rippled surface catches I'D the light
And filings it back in softened yellow
The young bird dips to taste it in his
flight,
The bee a hardy seaman. steers his way.
Athwart the waves, and plies his course
between
It's live-oak-shadowed banks of swarthy
green.
1 lave my spirit in that fragrant tide,
And 10, my winter stains are purified
IN AUGUST
The gaunt and shrivelled mustard starkIy
stands
Frail skeleton of that fair girl named
Spring
Whose transient beauty yestermonth
took wing.
1t clutches at the heat with bony hands;
1t Tattles in the wind, but may not sing
Yet on those barren stalks the opal air
Has flung a garment of such matchless
hue
So wrought of gold and purple, brown
and blue
That each pathetic stem is almost fair,
and new.
April! this strange, this subtle August
Is purchased at the price of thy loved
Meta Marquis, in the Youths Com
panion.

You can't be popular and tell your trou-
bles, too.
Many a shallow mind is equipped with
a deep voice.
The man who cherishes no hopes has
no disappointments.
You never strike a man favorably If you
hit him when he's down.
Experience is the best teacher, but 1t
doesn't seem to have much effect on the
man who commits bigamy.
The man who is lilling to take things
as they come generally finds that some
one else has headed them off.

Believes, it either makes one very
happy or very miserable"
A man can make things uncomfortable
for his wife but she can always get back
at him at housekeeping time.
