HUMAN PUMP OF THE DESERT

In the desert Of Kslahari, in Africa,
is seen the human pump. Though
there is no water found on the surface
in this arid region, there are places
where veins are struck several feet
underground. A bamboo tube is run
down to the water supply and when
any n comes for water the well ten
der, who is usually a woman, puts her
mouth over the bamboo and by a Wig
orous intake of breath sucks up a
quantity Of water. This she then dex-
trously squirts from her mouth into
the shell Of an ostrich egg. These
shells when furnished with corks Of
pith make very good water bottles and
they viii stand considerable rough
handling.

SECURING PROFIT in SHEEP
II Pure-6red and Well Cared for
q They Pay Handsome!y-Need ,
Shelter In Severe Weather.

My sheep are pure American Meri-
nos, all registered. Two of this kind
/ can keep in summer or winter with
the same care and feed with which
one Of most any other breed can be
kept, says writer in an exchange.
My sheep barn Is q closed building
with broad door SO that the sheep
can go in and out without crowding
each other. The feeding racks In one
room are on the outside; the other
room has double rack through the
middle. l give my sheep large run
in the fall SO they go into winter quar-
tiers in good condition and never leave
them out in heavy rains through the
season. 3 5ss ~
The breeding ewes are let out every
morning in winter to eat their grain,
which is oats, and to give them exer'
else. I feed them hay three times q
day. Some only feed twice. I only
give them a little at noon time, also
give their pens a litter of oat straw
two or three times a week. / try to
have my sheep sltorn before they drop
their lambs SO the little fellows have
no trouble to find their first meal. The
eve that is in good condition has
good supply, of milk and almost al
ways owns her lamb. l never keep
salt by them, but feed it to thep once
a week. l have water by them all the
time. I never allow the ram to run
with the ewes. The rams that are to
be used are fed three-Quarters oats
and one-quarter wheat mixed. The
young lambs in the fall and winter are
fed twice daily grain ration Of oats
and sometimes wheat bran halt
mixed. "s

MORE THAN SHE COULD BEAR
Heart Of Gentle Old Maid Was
Touched, and Silly Quarrel I'm.
mediateIy Came to an End.

Two old ladies who had been low
ing friends for many years had vio-
lent quarrel, and It began to look as
it the wound would never heal. Mel
Their one felt like taking the initiative,
and indeed both we're too sore to care
to make up. Efforts of mutual
friends were all in vain; representa-
lions to one that the other was suf-
fering met only with the stubborn an
swer that she ought to suffer. They
both insisted that they hoped the
other would suffer more, and that she
richly deserved it. Some thirteen
months went by like this, and the
one-time intimates saw each other
only on state occasions, that is, at
church each Sunday, where they sat
side by side, too proud to change
their pew because of what had hap
pened. But they never pretended to-
notice that the other was there. On
a recent Sabbath morning, however,
Miss Sarah glanced around involun-
tarily at sound of a sneeze beside her,
and despite her will kept her gaze
fixed on Miss Malinda. Then an aw-
full revelation broke In on her mind.
Malinda had come to church with
out a handkerchief! Miss Sarah did
not know what the sufferings of a
person about to be electrocuted might
be, but she knew all about being at
church without a handkerchief. Ma
linda merited electrocution, in Miss
Sarah's opinion, but no crime was he'll
nous enough to merit such agony as
this. A drop slowly gathered on Ma
linda's pinched nose, and finally fell
off, giving place to another. Miss Sa-
rah could not bear it. She took out
her own handkerchief surreptitiously,
glad it was a big one. Next moment
there was smothered sound Of tear
ing cloth and Malinda felt something
pressed into her rigid hand. It was
half of the handkerchief, and 1t
went to Malinda's eyes before 1t
touched her needy nose. Then two
wrinkled old hands CROPPED for each
other, and through the sermon Miss
Sarah and Miss Malinda sat and
chung to the newly found friend who
had been lost.

children,a Deafness.

DR.. Helen Macmurchy Of Toronto
says that deafness is more frequent
among school children than is usually
supposed. She calls attention to the
fact that in perfectly quiet room the
average normal hearing distance for
a whisper is about Is feet, and that
a child that can hear whisper at
only five yards will not lose much ed.
ucation on account of this degree Of
impairment. Those who can hear a
whisper only from three to five yards,
she says, should sit on the front
seats, and those who can hear a whis-
per from one to three yards need
special help and should be placed in
smaller classes, with a: teacher who
will speak slowly and distictly, and
will take special, individual interest in
such pupils. She advocates the teach
ing of lip reading to those who are
yet more defective. There is no doubt
that many children suffer from un-
recognized slight deafness. Such chill.
dren should not only be aided to hear,
but to speak plainly.

Luxury of Balloon Travel.

,
A Zeppelin airship leaves the earth
with none Of the balloons soaring
motion. It Is just like Pullman
train, started without perceptible jar
and kept in motion upon perfect
road bed, perfect track and perfect
wheels. At luncheon time individual
tables are placed in position. and
luncheon is served much as it is in
the ordinary buffet dining car in
America. There is soup. an entree, a
toast-all piping hot-vegetables.
salad, cheese and coffee. More OF .
dinner than luncheon and all served
as though the chef and walters had
the conveniences of a great hotel at
their command. The principles Of the
flreless cooker have been brought into
service in preparing the food, the 'ex-
haust from the engines being made
to supply heat. 1zss
The comforts are all those of very.
modern hotel. The cabin is kept at
an unvarying comfortable temperature
by means of pipes that carry the ex-
haust heat from the engines. There
is more room for action than in an
ordinary chair car. In the lavatories
are hot and cold water. There is a
library with the daily papers and the
best of books. There is lounge for
those who are willing to sleep away
the hours of flight.-World's Work.
