KING WORE HAT 16 YEARS
Gave II to His Valet Once and Then
Took It Back
Again.

Cettinje. Montenegro. - Nicholas,
king of the smallest realm in Europe,
is accused of loving money too well.
Three of his ministers, Gattallo, Jur-
jieviez and Jovanovicz, complain that
he is so stingy he refused to go TO
Moscow because the Gar did not give
him all the money he recently asked
for. The gets 100000 a year from
Russia and 100000 from Austria
And yet" say his ministers. 1--WE nev.
er know what he does with the money
for he cannot be induced to render an
account He certainly does not spend
it on his clothes"
When his beautiful Helen married
Italy's king sixteen years ago Nicho
las bought a silk hat, which he wore
until this summer. bringing il out
on his many visits at foreign courts
Seeing 1t looked very shabby, he gave
it to his native valet. Sava Save
had II ironed and went about in II
with great pride. The other day the
king saw him wearing the hat and
asked him where he got 1t.
"Your majesty gave It me-" was the
answer.

Cows that are not kept IN milk well

The COW with good appetite is a
better producer than the one that Is
"finicky."
The only object of working is to
distribute the salt evenly and compact

Wheat bran and linseed meal make
tho best combinations to give a fresh.
ening COW.
Harvest goes on the year around
in the dairy business. Something to
sell every day.
Cream should be churned at as low
a temperature as possible and have
the butter come in thirty minutes.
A large udder is not always to be
trusted as a sure sign of a good
mixer. Better see the milk in the
pail
A good pasture lot near the barn
where the COWS may Craze at night
will keep up the milk flow during the
hot months.
If native pasture does not supply
enough grass it will pay well to put
succession of soiling crops in these
lots or fields.
Regular careful milking permanent
ly improves the animal as milk
producer, aside from directly increas-
ing the milk flow.
1t is we'll to fight shy of the dairy
COW that is offered for sale cheap
these days. At best she is probably
good only for beef.
One way of keeping dirt, flies, etc..
FROM dropping into the pail while
milking is to cover the pail with
clean cheesecloth and milk through it.
The next time a COW gives bloody
milk give her dose of EPSON salts,
bathe her udder in warm water and
rub with camphorated lard This will
cten cure the trouble.

CHALL tell you how a young
woman lost nineteen pounds
In FIVE weeks?
She found herself with all the
symptoms of overweight. Her face
wa full and puffy. Her cheek
muscles sagged, giving her face the
jowl-llke look that suggests the
lower animals. Transforming beauty's
face into a beastlike semblance. and
that beast not the handsomest, nor
most poetic, Of the order. As she
surveyed her figure in the mirror.
particularly in the back, 1t looked
broad and coarse. Moreover. she
was conscious Of her weight Her
movements had become clumsy.
When we are 1T normal weight, that
is, when We are only SO heavy as
nature intended, and nature abhors
overfieshed women, we are not op-
pressed by our bodies. We feel 50
light and our minds are so capable
OF dominating our bodies that we
scarcely realize that we have any
weight. That blrdlike llghtness of
body is a sure sign that we are at
our best.

season before her, when she wished

How They "Ride the Goat in the CONGO

.HE ancient and reyered cere-
mony of riding the goat" as
practised In our lodges and
college fraternities as part OF the
initiation programme is a tame pro-
ceeding compared with certain rites
celebrated by the Congo sayages.
Among the Bapendee people, who
inhabit the southwestern portion of
the Congo, the principal event in a
mans life occurs when he becomes
a man-that is, when he attains his
majority. This event is signalized
by the most elaborate initiation
ceremonies. The boys wear masks
and their whole body is covered
with a rough dress, made Of raphia
fibre cloth
During the initiation process,
which lasts for several days, the
boys must neither see nor be seen
by women, and for that reason they
retreat to the bush. 1t is common
ly believed among them that a
woman who sets eyes on the boys
at this period Immediately becomes
Ill and soon dies. This is no mere
superstition, however, for the
death Of the unfortunate woman
usually follows.
The initiator dresses one OF his
assistants in costume Of network
fibre and covers his head with a
hideous mask, called dele" mean.

Is TO Brighten the boys In every way
possible. He comes out at night.

uttering the most weird noises. and
pounces upon the boys In their
sleep. His makeup is enough to
scare anyone, IN In broad daylight,
but at night. In the bush, his sud.
den appearance must be even more
effective.
A meeting is called to order by
the sounding OF the friction drum
in the village. This instrument
consists Of a hollow piece of wood
covered at one end with a piece OF
parchment into which is fixed a
stick. This is made just moist and
the drummer rubs his hand up and
down the stick in a manner which
produces a loud and unearthly
noise.
As soon as this hub-bub is heard
the women and children are sup
posed TO hide. Some OF the chill
dren, however. are invariably
caught and slain in a most cruel
manner The next day charcoal is
sent to the bereaved mother, who
thus learns Of the fate Of her child.
These meetings are presided over
oy a native known the Makenge.
He wears a highly-colored mask. the
main part being in bright red while
the larker lines and other marks are
worked out in blue and black II IS
