SHIPS THAT KICK.

Seamen Don't Like Them and Dodge
 Them if They Can.
 When sailors join a ship almost the first question asked by each one as he takes the wheel for the first time is. Docs she kick?'
 Kicking, as it is called by the sea- men, is due to the action of the wateP under the lee of the rudder when tl vessels stern. which has for ;l mOA ment been borne skyward on the crest of a wave, falls back again into the trough with such terrific force as to make her tremble fore and aft and perhaps wrench the wheel from the grasp of the steersman.
 ' Sometimes it happens that he is taken unawares and. being unable to let go in time. is flung right over the wheel to the other side of the deck. often receiving serious injuries Some times man will be pitched right overheard into the sea, and recent case is known of man who received blow under the chin from one of the spokes and died few days later from the effects.
 In some of the worst types of kick CTS kicking straps are used regularly in nearly all weathers. and many sail OTIS refuse to go to sea in ships which are known to be confirmed kickers.- London Tit-BitS,

CHEAP PERFUMES.

Made From Musk Supplied by Many
 Varieties of Civet Cats.
 Most women who indulge freely in the use of cheap perfumes do not know of what they are compounded The principal ingredient of low priced perfumes is musk, animal musk, which is obtained from several creatures
 The muskrat is probably the best known of these, and a few decades ago the wives and sweethearts of men who set traps around ditches and ponds in the countryside carried proud- ly the bags of musk obtained from this source. As an article of commerce the musk supplied by several varieties of civet cats is probably the best known today. The odor is strong and sweet. The strength is the particularly no dceable feature and is the reason why it is the foundation of the per fumes. In the small mammal house at the geological gardens are two sizes of civets, and any one with an inHes- tigating turn of mind may stand near the cages and catch the musky odor.
 The musk is used in the cheap per fumes, as only little is needed to give most lasting odor to an ounce of perfumery, but the musk itself is not cheap, and it is one of the duties of the attendant of the mammal house to collect it. It is then sold through reg .ular channels and is one of the sourt es of revenue to the zoo. although small Philadelphia Record.

old Time Smoke Nuisance.

We are accustomed to think of the smoke nuisance as modern phenome non, but Professor V. B. Lewes shows that it raised so much indignation in England 600 years ago that decree was made forbidding the use of bitu- minous coal for fuel Such fuel was then new thing.
 In the time of Queen Elizabeth an other attempt to use bituminous coal was defeated by public opposition to the smoke. The third effort attained complete success in the nineteenth cen tury, and now the quantity of smoke belched into the air is so great that Professor Lewes likens it to a cumu- lative poison which aids in shortening life, killing vegetation and beginning and destroying buildings.

LonsfsIlo~,s Incomplete Library.

I remember there was one little boy of whom Longfellow was very fond and who came often to see him. One day the child looked earnestly at the long rows of books in the library and at length said. Have you got Jack the Giant Killer?"
 Longfellow was obliged to confess that his library did not contain that venerated volume. The little boy look ed very sorry and presently slipped down from his knee and went away, but early next morning Longfeilow saw him coming up the walk with something tightly clasped in his little fists.

BILE by the generosity of the merchants
of the town of Audubon. 1t is the
largest holiday edition the paper has
ever issued and could easily have been
eight pages larger if we could have
secured the additional help needed to
issue paper of that size.
In this weeks issue will be found
little special Christmas features which
will be of interest to the readers of this
paper, and especially the children. 1t
was for their delight that we secured
the handsome cover
The paper likewise is we'll filled with
news. advertisements from the mer-
chants of Audubon. In them they
have told the readers of the excellent
stocks of goods they carry especially
for the holiday season. We can safely
say that no other town in Iowa the
size of Audubon carries as full and
complete line of holiday goods. We
urge all of our readers to look the
advertisements over in this issue.

Audubon Man Slightly Injured.

There are times when the English

Take for instance a night when it is
so dark that one cannot discern any
thing and all out of doors seems
blacker than the ace of spades. Then
picture a wheelborrow standing di-
rectly across the sidewalk and man,
eager to reach home, running into
this one-wheeled vehicle. Do you
know of anything in the U. S. tongue
that would come anywhere near Civ
ing expression to the mans opinion of a
fellow who would leave a wheeborrow
on the sidewalk, after dark? Ever
