a Moroccan Charm

Moroccan wives have most elabo-
rate recipe for winning back the affec-
tons Of an unfaithful husband. First.
the deserted or suspicious wife draws
a straight line in pure honey from the
middle of her forehead down to her
chin and collects the drippings in a
spoon. Then she rubs the tip of her
tongue with fig leaf till it bleeds
and soaks seven grains of salt In the
blood This she mixes with the honey,
adds more salt which has been carried
for day and night in tiny incl
sion In the skin between her eyebrows
and finally adds a pinch Of earth from
the print of her bare right foot on the
ground. Tie dose is then put into the
erring husbands food and, according
to Moroccan tradition. never fails to
restore him to his allegiance.

THE PRISONERS CIPHER.
A PuzzIins Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.

A Puzzling Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.
Prisoners in jails are generally very
ingenious, so much so, in fact, that 1t
has been frequently remarked that If
their skill and ingenuity were turned
to honest purposes they would thrive
much better than as criminals.
One branch of ingenuity is displayed
In. the plans they make to communi-
cate with one another. They construct
cipher codes, but the officials generally
manage to translate them.
Recently in a western Jail the guards
encountered a cipher that proved too
hard for them, and 1t was good while
before the puzzling messages were
made out. and then the key was acci-
dentally discovered. A man in for
forgery, as smart rogue as ever was
behind the bars, invented the puzzle.
The writing was on long. narrow
strips of paper, on the edge Of which
were letters and parts Of letters that
apparently had no connection and from
which no words could be formed.
One day a deputy who was passing
the cell Of prisoner saw him passing
long strip of paper around an octagon
lead pencil. He took this paper away.
and on it were the mysterious scrawIs
that had worried the keepers.
But the deputy got an idea from this.
and. going back to the Office, he wrap
ped the strip around an octagon shaped
lead pencil and after several trials ad-
justed it so that the parts of letters
fitted together and made sentence.
though the writing was very fine.
The writer had adopted the simple
ingenious plan of covering the lead
pencil with the paper and had then
written along one of the fat sides. On
unrolling 1t the writing was as mys
teal as cFyptogram, but when put
around the pencil, as 1t was originally.
It could be easily understood. d.-Dallas

Hours of Sleep.

According to DR.. Frederick B.
Percy of the Boston university
school Of medicine, the least cultur-
ed and least developed adults need
the most sleep, and the higher the
intellectual development the more
prone one is to dreams. The healthy
child of two years passes half its
time in slumber. The adult re-
quires from seven to eight hours of
sleep daily, aged persons not more
than five or six hours. Women
need, as rule, more sleep than
men. There are persons to whom
nine or even ten or twelve hours
of sleep are essential, while others
seldom sleep more than six out of
the twenty-four. Too much sleep
is possible. Sleep undisturbed iq

SHERIFF HARRIS IN TROUBLE

The Office of Sheriff in Nevada
is no sinecure The sheriff of Elko
county does more hard work and
suffers more hardships and forgoes
more luxuries, perhaps, than any
other man in the public life of the
country. Last Tuesday morning
Sheriff Harris took a trip to
Spruce Mountain on off cial busi-
ness. Ninety miles is a long ride
across mountains and valleys, hills
and deserts and the Sheriff being
a sociable fellow wanted congenial
company. So he invited Micky Fitz-
maurice to enjoy pleasant ride
up where the air is pure and the
altitude registered up to 5000 feet.
While crossing Ruby Valley in
stead of taking the right trail they
followed two wood roads to the
end. Not being versed in wood
craft and having left their wings
behind they could neither climb the
mountain nor fly over and were
compelled in both instances to re-
trace their steps back to the valley.
After loosing all this time they
once more struck the right road
snd started to burn" the road to
Spruce. When they were twenty
five miles from Spruce Mountain
the machine broke down and their
real trouble began. They spent
several hours in vain attempt to
repair the damage and in tower
ing rage over their unfortunate
predicament started to walk the rs
miles to their destination. Dark
ness soon came on and in the still
ness of the night, no noise save
the coyotes dismal howl and the
tramp of their feet could be heard.
They had no water and there was
none to be had and Micky was in
sore distress for "drink."
About eleven o'clock that night
they floundered into the camp at
Spruce Mountain, their shoes worn
through, even holes in their socks
and nothing to protect the soles of
their feet from the rugged rocks
over which they were compelled
to walk. To their intense dismay
the camp had beer abandoned.
However they found the spring
and drank copious draughts of
pure spring water. Micky COM
planned that he didn't want water,
he wanted "drink." The sheriff
had left his canteen at home and
Micky's wants were not supplied.
The next morning they walked 8
miles up the mountain to Charley
Johnson's camp where Mrs Johnson
provided them with a good break
fast. They borrowed a horse and
buggy and drove 25 miles into
Glover Valley to Horace Ages
Here their troubles were happily
over. MIR Agees took them in his
auto to Wells where they lost no
time in taking the train to Elko.
Today Sheriff Harris's auto is 80
miles out in the desert while the
owner is nursing his sore spots
and bathing his limbs in arnica
while his late companion in misery
is trying to forget bis troubles and
drown his sorrows in the bowl that
cheers but does not inebriate.
Micky says "never again" will he
ride with the Sheriff unless he has
the papers to back up the invita-
tion.
