In order to Illustrate an attack on
his flock of sheep by a catamount, or
panther, David Glover, Of near Haney-
Vile, has purchased two Angora goats.
The p~ugnacity Of these goats is such
that no animal of prey dare attempt
to despoil a flock.
The sheep raisers of that wild Sec
ton have suffered severe losses to
their focks of late years since the big
increase in black bears and catamount
and now with a real panther in the
neighborhood it became necessary to
do something desperate. Mr.. Glover
hit upon the Angora goat idea, and it
seems to have settled the problem
The goats are masters of all they sur
vey, all right, even the men folk
fighting shy of getting too close to the
sturdy creatures. At this season o.
the year the sheep are on the wild
ranges. Other sheep raisers are
watching Mr.. Glover's experiment.

TELEPHONE POLES OF GLASS
Wood, or Even Concrete, Likely to
Give Place to New Idea Devised
In Brain Of German.

Near Frankfort, in Germany, there
is a manufacturing plant which turns
out glass poles for telephone and tele-
graph wires. In order to give them
solidity and strength there is a thick
framework of woven wire In the glass.
These poles are taking the place OF
the wooden ones in many sections OF
Germany.
1t may be that in time all such teae-
graph and telephone poles throughout
the world will be made of glass be-
cause there are so many advantages
in them. In the first place they will
last practically for all time, except in
cases Of unusual accident, where they
may be broken, as in railroad wrecks.
They will last even longer than iron
or steel, as weather has practically no
effect upon them, nor can insects get
into them and destroy them.
And in those days when wood is be-
coming more and more valuable, 1t
will be quite a saving of the precious
wood to make such things Of glass.
Experiments are also under way for
the manufacture of railroad ties OF
glass, in which wire netting is imbed-
ded In the glass.
Paving blocks are made of glass and
have proved to be a most valuable
material for street surfaces, being fit
ted together in such a manner as to be
water-tight, no water running down
between the blocks. There are, in
Lyons, France, a number of streets
paved with glass, and they have a bet
ter resistance than stone, and also are
not such great conductors of heat al
stone. These glass paving blocks are
now said to be actually cheaper than
the granite blocks.

Al 70 the Unsiuned Review.

Professor Mahaffy, who has Wrltten
criticism for more than so years, is
an advocate of the unsigned
review. "If you have the article sign
ed" he says, you relieve the editor OF
his responsibility and he will admit
a bad article signed by a widely
known person, whereas better work by
a young and starving writer is apt to
be thrown aside" He recalls the old
days of the Quarterly and the Edin-
burgh with the remark that what was
good enough to appear in the Quar-
terly was good enough for anybody
to read" The drift at present Is to
ward the signed review. The Edin'
burgh, under it's new editor, publishes
signed articles, and within a month
the Manchester Guardian has gone
to the extreme of publishing the mi
tails Of the writer's of their reviews
of the variety theaters, though the re
views are so short that four OF then
make only half a column.

Making Man Love Woman.

Can a wornan make a man love her?
Yes. often she can if she lays herself
out to do it. But not always. The
most important point is that he must
not know it.
The worlds history has many In
stances of the love-compelling power
of even unattractive women. Here's
the recipe:
To compel love a woman must
sympathize with a man.
She must not often contradict him
She must fatter him and let him
think that his opinion is the only one
that matters.
She must put him into good con
ceit with himself.
She must exert her powers Of
charm and never bore him.
She must be bright and amusing II
his presence.
She must see a good deal Of him

Jeffersonian Simplicity.

It was August. The secretary OF
state had called at the White House
to talk over the impending war with
Japan. The hired man was sitting on
the front steps playing a mouth or
gan, while a rosy-cheeked maid kept
time with her churning.
The secretary of state strolled
around to the lot back Of the execu-
tive mansion. Here he discovered
the president and vice-president pitch
ing h%orseshoes. Both wore overalls
and Bingham shirts.
"Rowdy, Bill?" nodded the presi
dent and the vi~ce-president.
"Howdy, Woody; howdy, Tom?" re
turned the secretary Of state.

ADDS TO THE LENGTH OF LIFE
Nothing Better Than Pedestrian Elk
ercise, Especially to Those Who
Have Passed Beyond Youth.


Some Of the most noted OF the old
men of New York, successful in bust
ness, the professions and public affairs.
have formed a walking club for the
purpose of making their pursuit OF
still greater length of days and still
better health as agreeable as it is SEN
sible. They intend to take long walks
together and, no doubt, to make their
pedestrian experiences the subject OF
entertaining discussion and a store or
memories held in common. This is an
example which might well be followed
In every city OF the United States. In
the era OF motor vehicles there Is dan
ger that walking will be increasingly
neglected, especially by men and WON
en- advanced in years, who often need
1t most. There is constant tempta-
ton to forget that riding in the open
air, fine as it is in many ways, can
never do for the body what walking
does.

BIRDS EXCEL AS
WEED DESTROYERS
Some Songsters Depend Almost
Exclusively on Weed Seeds
Grow Kills Mice.

Weeds, as well as insects, are enc.
mics of the farmer. Most weeds are
short-lived and depend for their con.
tinuance on prolific seed production.
There is class of birds that, in
maturity, feeds almost exclusively on
weed seeds. among which the gros-
beaks. goldfinches, native sparrows,
quail and doves are the more i'm.
portant. Probably the greediest seed,
eating birds, according to Mr.. Pratt,
are the native American tree sparrow
and the chipping sparrow Their
cousins, the English sparrows, how.
ever, can by no means be included In
the list.
Rats, mice and snakes are the prey
of numerous class of birds, many of
which are often hunted and branded
as great destroyers of property. If it
were not for owls and hawks the
country would be overrun with ro-
dents, according to Mr.. Pratt. The
crow has his place for good as a de-
stroyer of field mice and the farm owl
is the night Waterman who hunts
gophers, mice and snakes.
Not all hawks are useful. Those
that circle around in the sky and
swoop down with stealthy movement
on their prey are great boons, but the
darter, those that take their prey on
the wing, are ruthless destroyers.

MUST BE HAND EMBROIDERED
The Proper Thing for Both White anc
Colored Linen Parasols-Wide
Variety of Designs.

White and colored linen parasols
show hand embroidery. They are
mounted with ivory or bone handles
and tips or with light natural or poll
ished wood handles and brass-pointed
tips. Some of them are finished about
the edge with fringe, some with plain
hem and some with an embroidered
scallop. A wide variety of designs is
shown in embroidered parasols. Satin
stitch, eyelet work and outlining are
used in combination to produce both
ornate and simple effects. Almost al
parasols are made with eight panels,
and half a dozen skeins of cotton are
needed for embroidering each panel
with design of moderate size; five
or six dozen skeins, therefore, would
be sufficient for any parasol. The big
department stores make up the EN-.
broidered panels into parasols and sell
sticks and frames

INJURY DONE IN
REMOVING WEEDS
Most Beneficial Method Is to
Burn Them Where They Are
and Scatter Ashes.

The usual thing is when the weeds
have been loosened to remove them
bodily. Now, In doing this 1t Is al
most impossible to avoid removing
a part of the upper surface of the gar
den. It may be only an inch OF two.
but that inch is just the best of the
ground. This is the height of folly.
One reads of the thrifty French
gardeners removing so many inches
OF their soil when they have to quit
out. There is an agreement to that
effect. The soil that they have i'm
proved with years Of labor and care
is a tenants fixture" so to speak,
and they take 1t with them.
What goes on in too many Of our
gardens is just the reverse. Instead OF
going away and bringing the soil with
us-that is the wealth of our gardens
we stay and the soil goes, thrown
out on the rubbish heap to form part
of an eyesore and nuisance to the
rest of the establishment.
These things should not be so. In
the Utopia of well-managed farms and
gardens, of which we now and then
have an inkling, there VIII be no
rubbish at all. for what Is rubbish?
Burning is wastefui when 1t is
weeds not yet gone to seed that are
consumed. 1t is another matter in
dealing with such things a. old
stumps. roots and bad weeds that
preserve their vitality over the win
ter. For them there must be the
cleansing fires. But why make them
away to a rubbish heap? Why not
rather burn them where they lie, al
once and scatter the ashes there.
This plan acts beneficially in more
WAYS than one. 1t saves two earnings
and 1t is always easier to do a job
of this sort at once. Beside, rubbish,
even If left for but few weeks. will
be found to- have afforded free quar-
ters to an appalling, if interesting ex-
tent, to slugs and other garden pests.
These rubbish heaps! What trou-
blesopse, unlovely things they are.
At a certain old homestead that !
have in my minds eye, the practice
is in full swing. All ashes and con-
ditions of things find their way, not
alone from the garden, but from the
dwelling. to hollow just out of sight
of the house and garden. Here are
..pegged out" any amount of extraor-
binary things-broken pottery, papers,
sardine tins, tin meat cans, probably
in their virgin state, and old hats,
and there they lie until someone finds
time to set fire to the heap. blot of
