A new kind of vehicIe-at least new
10 the business thoroughfares in
Hartford-has made its appearance
in the form of a ''skipmobile" and Is
considerably worrying motorists. The
sixfpmobiIe as conceived by some of
the young hopefuls is a soap box nail
ed TO a stick running on three or four
roller skates. Children using it have
very little control over it and several
accidents have been narrowly pre-
vented Its use on the streets is not
particularly liked by any kind of traf-
fic but il has probably furnished the
greatest source of annoyance to driv-
ers os automobiles. 1t is not unlike
" that If the skipmobile assumes the
proportions of fad among the
children in Hartford the authorities
will be asked to prevent its becom-
ing a street diversion
Automania.
Along the peaceful country ways
The speeding motor Wagons raise
Dark clouds OF dust and spread a pail
That thickly settles over all
The farmers fields of corn and hay
That grow beside the travelled way.
His chickens feeding peacefully
Are hurled into eternity,
As with a dull and sanguine shock
The auto hits a helpless flock,
And sends the feathers floating high
Above the spot where many die.
Also 1t is quite frequent now
They gently strike a horse or COW,
Poor farmer, he has little time
To check this awful wave of crime;
For he speeds gaily and serene
In his six-cylinder machine.

NATIVE LIFE in THE CONGO

Native agriculture in the Congo is
of the most rudimentary type. A piece
of bush adjacent to the village is Sc
lected, and the smaller trees and
tangle of vegetation cut down and left
to dry, after which they are burnt.
Manioc, bananas and plantains are
then planted after a perfunctory hoe
ing of the surface ground. Nature
does the rest, says British Consul La
mont in a report. Rotation of crops,
manuring and deep cultivation have
no place in the farming regime, and
what labor Is required is usually pro-
vided by the women. The only indus
tries prosecuted by the native result
ing in the production exportable
products are those Of rubber and
gum copal collecting, palm oil manu-
facture and hunting, which has for its
objective the ivory of the elephant
His methods in all of these are of the
crudest, as is also the method of ex
tracing the oil from the palm fruit
crude and wasteful, the valuable inner
nut being invariably thrown aside and
wasted. Equally undiscriminating is
his chase of the elephant; he traps or
spears regardless of whether it is
young or old, male or female, of COM
mercial value or not

SHAVING WITHOUT A RAZOR

In Jamaica, the negroes. some Of
whom are great dandies in their way
make soap out of cocoanut oil and
homemade I've; and fine soap 1t is
smooth and fragrant. This cocoanut-
oil soap is used for shaving. When a
man wishes to shave In the morning
he starts out with his cocoanut-shell
cup and his donkey-tail brush and
bottle. He goes to a convenient pool
in the mountain stream, where the
water Is still, and there is his mirror.
He breaks his bottle on stone, and
picks out a good sharp piece. Then
he fathers his face profusely and be-
gins to scrape away with his piece
of glass, which works almost as we'll
as rharp razor.

FOOD THAT is FORBIDDEN

No race possesses so many laws re-
lating to the consumption Of food as
do the Jews. Shakespeare make Shy
lock say, Il win buy with you. sell
with you, walk with you. and SO fol-
lowing; but will not eat with you.
drink with you, nor pray with you"
and the trait Of being very particular
as to what food they eat is still char
acteristic of the present-day Jews.
The large number of these Mosaic
laws with regard to the eating Of food
is somewhat unconventional and dis
concerning to modern Hebrews, but
more than go per cent, Of the Children
of Israel still stringentIy adhere to all
the dietary laws that Moses ever
made.
Animals not slain by a ritual
slaughterer, called a shochat, must
not be eaten by Jews; neither are
animals without parted hoofs or
cloven feet, or who do not chew the
cud, consumed as food by Jews. The
pig is not eaten by them because
1t does not conform with all the above
essentials
Only fish with scales and fms are
permitted to be eaten according to
the Law of Moses. Hence oysters,
crabs. shrimps and Holsters are not
eaten by Jews.
1t is very peculiar to note that a
Jew must not partake of milk or any
thing possessing the essence of milk
until four hours have elapsed after
eating meat or anything connected
with meat. e., meat pies, sausages,
etc. This law, as written in the Old
Testament, is very different, for Exc
dus xiii. 10, says: Thou shalt not
seethe kid in his mothers milk"
but the Jewish tradition has ordained
that the mixing of meat and milk
should be prohibited.
Only very few birds, amongst
which is the dove, are allowed for
Jewish food.
Eminent modern physicians have
corroborated the boast of the Jews
that they are very healthy because of
their dietary laws, but it seems very
strange to other people that whole
race should abhor good old bacon and
ham.

Make a Statement

THE Wool Growers Association
of Nevada has made a statement TO
the public REGARDING the tariff on
sheep. The statement says that
lambs are worth So per head. If the
Association can furnish local butch
ers with lambs at this price they can
find a ready market without sending
the lambs out Of the state. At the
present moment the focal butchers
are paying about three times the
price quoted by the wool growers.
Even the editorsr might be able %
afford lamb occasionally if they
were really truly sold at this price.
Better come again gentlemen and get
a different argument. In the same
issue of the journal. where price is
quoted, the Chicago market reads:
Spring lambs, Sc to $o.40."
