COL0RS AND THE BRAIN

Juse as there are hues that soothe
the mind through the eyes-green for
instance-so there are colors which
may after time so irritate the nerves
as even to unbalance the intellect.
Purple is one of these. According to
a specialist In colors, a month In q
room containing no color but purple
would unhinge the mind of a person
with the strongest nerves. In its eff.
fects on the nerves purple, 1t is said.
is the most dangerous color there Is.
It's effects are slow and insidious,
causing melancholia and suicidal ma
MIA. The color that infiames the mind
is red A few weeks in surroundings
entirely scarlet would arouse a sort of
frenzy eliminating in homicidal ma
mia. Blue is said to be kind Of drug
in its effect on the brain. 1t excites
the Imagination and gives craving
for music and sensation, but It has a
reaction that wrecks the nervous sys
tenn. Yellow in excess sometimes
causes hysteria.

sHOPGIRL GETS s30,000,ooo

Miss Iona Yards of Budapest, Hun
gary. has become a multi-millionaire
by an accident that caused the death
of an admirer before he had time to
change a cuff on which he had scrib-
bled his will as joke. Iona was
shopgirl in fancy store. An elderly
man named Kronyi, of shabby appear
ance, was her constant customer, and
often sympathized with her because
her work was hard. One day he was
more sympathetic than usual, and
said:
For reward you shall have all my
money when l die. | am an old
bachelor and have managed to save
a bit"
AS the other girls behind the coun-
ter laughed at the idea of his having
any money to leave he turned down
his cheap paper cuff and wrote:
Il appoint Iona Yards my sole
heir After my death she is to inherit
all my estate, real and personal"
Then he signed and dated this i'm
promptu will, laughed heartily at his
own little joke, shook hands with 10
ma and left the store. While crossing
the street just outside the store he
narrowly escaped being run down by
a car, had a fit from fright and died
in chemists shop a quarter of an
hour after he had scrubbed on his
cuff.
1t turned out that Kronyi had left
more than 100000 gulden ($30,00O,-
O0G). Iona got lawyer to file her
claim to the fortune In the probate
court. Kronyi's relatives fought hard
to have this last of his wills set aside,
but the Judge decided in favor of Ilo-
ma. She got the whole estate, but
gave one-third of it to Kronyi's broth
er.

CARVED HIMSELF IN WOOD

One Of the most remarkable work
men In the world is Hananuma Masa-
kichi of Toxic, Japan, who has carved
a figure in wood 80 like himself that
when the two are placed side by side
1t Is said to be almost impossible to
tell which lives and breathes and
which does not.
BY several connoisseurs in art this
wooden figure has been pronounced
the most perfect human image Of
man ever made. Masakichi has faith
fully reproduced every scar. vein and
wrinkle to be seen ON his own body
The figure is composed of 10000
pieces of wood, dovetailed and Joint
ed with such wonderful skill that no
seams can be detected. Tiny holes
were drilled for the reception of hairs
and eyelashes in which no dissimilar-
ity to Massakichi's own. can be de-
tected.

The meadows look good for pasture

RACK AND LOADING DEVICES
Excellent for Handling Cattle, Hogs
or eheep-Heloht and Length
Can BE Varied.

The following is given In response
to recent inquiry for plan OF a stock
rack. writes F. L. Marsh in the Farm,
Stock and Home Figure i is a side
view OF a rack suitable for handling
cattle, hogs or sheep. The length and
height can be varied for special rea-
son. but is about correct for general
use. The bottom will serve for a
wood rack. by using stronger timber.
A AKA fir at each side and 2x4 in
the middle is strong enough for stock.
The bottom is boarded crosswise.
The sides are nailed or bolted to
hardwood stakes. fitting into medium
sized rack irons. Thus each side is
removable.
The end gates are held by cleats
and rods, as In a common wagon box.
The rear end gate is shown in Fig. 2.
A similar gate is placed back Of the
low part. The front gate should be
tight. A seat may be placed on the
low part, resting on side irons. The
front compartment can be used for
calves, or in case of full load the
middle gate can be removed.
Fig. shows a loading chute, placed
to connect with rear end Of rack. The
front end may be mounted on pair
of old wheels. The height and pitch
should be suited to the height of the
wagon used. The bottom of chute
should be cleated, SO stock will not
slip, and the chute should be wider
at rear end.
Fig. 4 shows a paddock which can
be set where most convenient, and
after the stock are driven into 1t can
be moved to the rear end Of chute.

Then angle A is opened to width Of

need not fare, If used with the pad

feet on each side. At the other cor

angles B and G the hinges are on
the outside, at D on the inside. Thus
the pen may be folded up. and
handled by one person. or very easily
by two. Large castor wheels may be
