The Lessenina Death Rate,

Some of the greatest advances of civilization are made silently. They escape the flourish of trumpets, while other much less important advances are accompanied by incessant drum beating and pyrotechnics. The diminu- ton of the death rate is one of the signal triumphs of modern enlighten- ment. 1t is also one of the most po- tent checks on economic waste. The average age of each generation is be- ing materially heightened, and that re- suit is chiefly being reached by stop ping the excessive loss of infant life. Yet few persons realize the extent of the beneficent progress thus made or what it has meant in the way of in- creasing the sum total of human hap piness and efficiency.-New York Trib- me.

RIaekhuek's Extra NostriI,

Two visitors to the menagerie were discussing the why and wherefore o1 an opening on the face of an Indian antelope or blackbuck halfway between the eye and nose. One visitor said il was due to an injury; the other opined it led to the tear duct.
 "You are both wrong," said the keep. CT. "That is an extra nostril for the fastest running member of the ante lope or deer family. He runs so fast that his ordinary nostrils cannot supply enough air to his lungs nature came to the rescue with the extra air channel. No other animal that I know of is so we'll provided. The blackbuck is the fastest thing on hoofs. On favorable ground and spurred by fear the black buck could make sixty miles an hour." " New York Sun.

TO BREAK UP COLD. Some Advice That Will Save
 Time and Money.

Strong drink and quinine may re- lieve a cold, but it usually does more harm than good.
 To break up hard cold in either head or chest thousands are using this sensible treatment. First of all look after your bowels; if they need at. tention use any reliable cathartic. Then pour scant teaspoonful of HY. OMEI into bowl of boiling water, cover head and bowl with towel and breathe for 5 to ten minutes the pleasant, soothing, healing vapor.
 Do this just before going to bed your head will feel fine and clear and you'll awake from refreshing sleep minus a cold in the morning.
 For colds, coughs, catarrh, asthma and croup HYOMEI is guaranteed. A fifty cent bottle is all you need to break up cold, and this can be ob- tained at Anders Jacobsen's and drug gists everywhere

The Pipe of Peace.

The North American Indian usually made his pipes out of kind of stone known as red pipe stone. of which there were large deposits in the old Sioux country. and the Great Spirit Is said to have given his indorsement to this particular material. which might have been Sioux monopoly, in these words: "'This stone is red. It is your flesh. It belongs to you all. Out of 1t make no more tomahawks, war hatchets nor scalpipg knives. Use 1t only to make the pipe of peace and smoke therefrom when you would pro pitiate me and do my will"

M0SLEM HOLY WARS.
Once Ordered They Are Wased Til
 Either Side Is Wiped Out.

| Onco OFdoFed ney Are Wa9eo Btb
 Either Side Is Wiped Out.
 When a jihad or holy war is pro claimed by the Mohammedans it means that every male Moslem from eight years old to eighty must take up arms and fight to the death, if need be, in defense of his faith.
 When a holy war is proclaimed the sacred green banner of the prophet, kept furled at all other times, is loos- ened to the breeze, and the Moslem who does not follow it is held to be forever accursed. Anybody may kill him with impunity. His wives, his children and his property cease any longer to belong to him. He is cut of from all communion with the faithful.
 The man who engages in holy war, on the other hand, is called "sheh1d," which means martyr" or glorious one" His sole aim and object hence forth is to kill as many infidels as pos sible. If he himself is killed in his turn it does not matter in the least. His religion teaches him that he goes straight to paradise, where bright eyed houris are watching to clasp him in their arms and acclaim him as ''bravest of the brave"
 It was because of a holy war, pro claimed against England by Gaylan, sultan of Fez, that England gave up Tangiers. For twenty-one years this particular holy war was waged, and during that time no quarter was asked or given by either side. To England it was one long series of disasters. The worst was that which befell the West Surrey regiment. Ambushed and surrounded, this corps was practically annihilated, only nine men out of more than 500 escaping with their lives.
 In 1S42 again a holy war was pro- claimed against England by Akbar Khan, the favorite son of Dost Mo- hammed, ameer of Afghanistan, whom England had depOsed. The savage hill tribes rose to a man at his bidding, and the entire British army of oecupa- tion-about 16,OOO men, including camp followers-was wiped out of ex- istence. The worst of a holy war Is that, once begun, it can only be ended by one side or the other being exterminated, so that it is liable to drag on almost e6nitely.-London Answers.

Avoid Waste by the Judicious Use oF
 Odds and Ends.
 The cook who broils the tough end of a porterhouse steak. roasts the ribs in roast. throws away the bones and juices left on the platter by the carver and discards as unfit for use the meat from which the soup stock Is made is guilty of wicked waste.
 The end of a porterhouse steak is unfit to serve when broiled. 1t should be cut off. This, together with the bone and juice left on the platter, bay leaf. three or four cloves, an ou- ion, a carrot and some parsley. will make several cups of bouillon. The ribs pairing it for the oven. These. with the leftover gravy, may be used in a similar way for stock.
 In making stock the long, slow proc ess of gentle boiling extracts the la- vor from the meat and coagulates the albumen. Only little of the latter is extracted. Therefore the meat loses but little of it's nourishlng properties. There are numerous ways in which such meat can be made appetiZing. Combined with rice and tomatoes a delicious luncheon dish may be made Butter a baking dish and line with hot boiled rice. Fill the center with bits of meat well seasoned with salt. pep per and onion juice. Cover with rice. Bake twenty minutes in the oven. Turn out on a platter and pour over it well seasoned tomato sauce. It is a toothsome morsel.-National Food Magazine.
 Making a Magnet.
 The simplest way of magnetizing a bar of steel is that known as single touch" The bar to be nagnetized Is laid on the table and the pole of a powerful magnet is rubbed from ten 10 twenty times along it's length, always In the same direction. If the north pole of the magnet is employed the end of the bar first touched will also be- come north pole, while the opposite end, at which the magnet k lifted be- fore returning, will be south pole.
 There are other and more compli cated methods, known as divided touch" and double touch. In which two and even four magnets are em ployed.
 A steel bar can also be magnetiZed by placing it within coil Of insulated wire. through which a galvanlc eur. rent is circulating. The magnetism in. duced in this way. however. is weak compared with that which can be pro. cured if the same strength of current Is employed through the intervention of an electro-magnet.
