Must Have New God Of War.

1.-THE heather spirit Of the less edu-
Gated and more superstitious of the
Chinese has once more come to the
front In the revolution says the
North China Daily News. ut hap
pens that the god of war, to whom
homage has been paid for generations
back, is deity that was adopted by
the Manchu dynasty when they be-
came rulers of China. AS a matter of
fact, he was the canonized version OF
q great warrior of the third century
Now that new government has been
set up In this part OF the country a
section of the followers Of the revolu-
tionary party has decided that it is
necessary to have a different god OF
war to that which has presided over
the military destinies OF the Manchus,
and it is learned that the canonization
of another personality to supersede
the old god Is about to take place. " jig

PLANNING AID FOR THE DEAF
German Society Asks That Special
Consideration Be Shown Persons
Hard Of Hearing.

That there are 100000 persons in
Germany whose hearing is defective
is q statement that was made at the
first convention of the Society for the
Protection Of the Deaf, which was
organized a few weeks ago. Franz
Bronner, an architect, presided at
the convention, which was made up Of
100 delegates.
The resolutions adopted declared
that persons who are hard Of hearing
needed more consideration than Is
usually accorded to them. It was
decided to approach theater. opera
and concert managers with the re-
quest to allot particularly good seats
to those who by producing mem
bership card of the society could
show that their hearing was defec-
tive; also that telephone apparatus
should be attached to the seats.
Railroad officials are to be asked
to show deaf people. special consid-
Grafton, and q fund is to be started
to provide aural instruments for
those who cannot afford to buy them.

GOATS WILL PROTECT SHEEP
'Psnnsyivanian Keeps Two Angoras
to Drive Away Painters and
Other Animals Of Prey.

In order to Illustrate an attack on
his flock Of sheep by a catamount, or
panther, David Glover of near Haney.
willie has purchased two Angora goats.
The pugnacity Of these goats is such
that no animal Of prey dare attempt
TO despoil flock.
The sheep raisers of that wild sec.
tion have suffered severe losses to
their hocks Of late years since the big
increase in black bears and cata.
mount, and now with a real panther
IN the neighborhood 1t became neces.
Aasy to do something desperate. Mr..
Glover hit upon the Angora goat idea,
and It seems to have settled the prob.

they survey, all right, even the men
folk fighting shy Of getting too close
TO the sturdy creatures. At this sea-
son Of the year the sheep are on the

FLOATING Farms of China.

Like the wood merchants of north
ern Russia, who carry their wood on
great RATS to Nijni-Novgorod, Kazan,
and Astrakhan. the farmers of the up
per and central regions along the
Yang-ste-Kiang construct RATS COW
ering as much as two acres of surface,
and on the RATS they establish farms
where produce grows. On these great
floating farms are habitations for the
men and stables for the animals, pig
pens. feed-barns, and storehouses
well stocked with provisions. The
voyage to market Is often one thou
sand miles. and to employ their time
on the slow journey the dwellers on
the RATS make baskets and many OBJ

their destination, they sell their prod

and return to their homes by the ways
used by ordinary travelers.-Harper's
