Just a Bit Doubtful.

Nearly half century ago George
Chorin, then dashing young soldier
In the First Massachusetts, Volunteer
infantry, lost $500; now he wants the
government to reimburse him, and has
appealed to 1t through Congressman
Mitchell. The latter is not quite clear
as to what can be done for the veter-
an, and as for interest on the amount
he has SO far baked at any attempt
to figure 1t. Chorin explains that back
In the sixties, just before his regiment
was mustered out, he was set upon
and robbed by four men of his own
company while in camp at Bunker
Hill, Md. He was on guard duty at
the time. While the identity Of the
men was known, Chorin alleges, there
was no court-martial because of the
disbandment Of the regiment which
then was under way.

That constabuIary Band.

Filipinos have always shown a par
ticular aptitude for music. and in few
other countries does music play such
large part In the daily life of the
people. They learn all kinds Of in
struments readily and even among the
poorest classes there are few who
have not some form of musical accom-,
plishment. No village Is without it's
orchestra, which is called out on
every occasion and plays for hours ap-
parently out Of the sheer Joy Of the
music. Yet the Filipinos are the one
people without national music, and
no Filipino composition IL known to
fame. They have never produced
either vocalist or an instrumentalist Of
more thon local note. All who attend
ed the st. Louis exposition will re-
member the fine Filipino Constabulary
band which attracted SO much favor
able comment. The organization Is
still In existence and no one could de-
mand finer concerts than those 1t
gives at dusk on the cool green Of the
Luneta at Manila, but the leader Of
the band is a negro from Boston. and
no Filipino is able to take his place

Milk Problem Solved.

More than 10000 quarts of milk are
handled daily by the Erie county milk
association, which began business in
December, 1899. The association now
owns a three-story brick building that
cost $26, 900, and is equipped with
$4,000 worth of apparatus for hand
ling all classes of dairy products.
Business has grown from about $780,
600 the first year to $3.50, 900, says
Farm and Home, and the company
now distributes about half the milk
used in the city. Great economy in
distributing milk has been brought
about because the city of Erie, Pa,
is divided into districts and the one
driver serves all the patrons along his
route. The producers have taken
stock in the company on the basis of
SO for each quart of milk produced.
For the last five years the company
paid producers 80 cents per quart for
the contract milk and cents for the
surplus.

SKILLFUL WITH THE ARROW
Amazon Indians, Using Poisoned
Weapons, Are by No Means Foe
to Be Despised.

The uncanny skill of the Amazon In
dams with poisoned arrows won the
awed admiration of Mr.. Algot Lange,
who was cured of jungle-fever by Man.
geromas after his comrades had sue
cumbed to beriberi and poisonous
swamp snakes. In his book, 'In the
Amazon Jungle" Mr.. Lange describes
a hunting trip that he made with two
members of the tribe:
I'VE had scarcely gone mile, when
we discovered on the opposite bank Of
the creek, about one hundred and fifty
yards away, wild hog roofing for
1000. We were under cover of the
brush, but the hog was in full view. Al
most simultaneously my companions
lifted arrows to their bowstrings. In.
stead OF shooting pointblank and
manipulating the bows with their
hands and arms. they placed their
great toes on the lower end of the bow
strings, and with their left arms gave
the proper tension and inclination to
the bows. which were eight feet long.
With whir the poisoned arrows shot
forth, sailed gracefully through the
ar described hyperbola, and plunged
Into the animals neck, little back
from the base Of the brain.
THE hog dropped in his tracks. and
l doubt II he could have lived even If
the arrows had not been poisoned We
slung the body over a heavy pole and
carried 1t to the maloca.
All the way the hunters disputed
over the ownership of the hog, and
from time to time they put the carcass
on the ground to gesticulate and argue.
When they appealed to me, l declared
that the arrows had sped 80 rapidly
that I could not tell which had found
its mark first.
"As we neared the house, the chief
sent out a messenger to learn the
cause Of the alteration. The ennis
sary returned to the chief and the dis
putants became quiet. The messenger
soon came back, and said that the
great chief would Judge the case, and
ordered the men to enter the maloca.
The chief motioned me to a seat on
the ground beside his hammock. The
men told their story, now and then
looking to me for an Affirmative nod of
the head. The chief listened to the
argument for some time without ut
tering q syllable, and regarded the
crowd with a steady. unblinking ex-
preston. Then he said: The hog is
mine. Go!'
Strange as 1t may seem. there was
no grumbling at this extraordinary
decision. Companion.

What FIoures Prove,

Most men cannot be idle and live
That sounds strange. 1t is true. 1t
Is law Of nature. II man past forty
leads an idle life the probability is
that he will live to be fifty-seven
years old. If he leads a harmonious
and sufficiently occupied life he will
live to be sixty-slx. This is the expe-
rience of life insurance companies,
which make specially of old-age an
nuities. Skill, money and time have
been spent by these companies to
learn these figures. The success of
the companies depends on them.
The figures tell the story. Idleness
Is harder on the vital organs of man.
kind than work. To be idle is to die,
10 work Is to live.

Correction.

The essential difference between.
baseball and cricket, as explained in
the Topeka Capital, is in the gloves
the catchers wear. The cricket catch
er wears long gauntlet gloves, for
wrist protection, while the baseball
catcher wears a glove to protect his
fingers. The American catcher wishes
to preserve his forefinger 30 he can
guide billiard cue, while the English
catcher fears he will be incapacitated
for drinking tea of his wrist is bruised.
Probably the truth, except that the
American catcher saves his finger, we
believe. not to play billiards, but pea
pool.

FARM AND AMP ORCHARD
Notes and Instructions from Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations
Washington Specially Conditions

use insect powder on the rest of the
body. Use very little grease on
young birds. When the poults are
older-after ten weeks of age-they
may be treated with the louise dip, but
must not be allowed to become chilled.
Choose a warm day, and the earlier in
the day the better. In dipping young
birds, one should have the dip very
weak, as their skin is tender.
An important thing for success with
the poults is to have eggs from
healthy, vigorous stock. Many f1ocks
of turkeys have been abused by failure
on the part of breeders to procure nee
essary new blood from time to time,
and have been inbred, and hence, have
lost their natural vitality. Such stock
will produce weak offpsring. If one
has but four hens, and needs new
blood, if the unrelated male bird
should cost $12, the gain in number of
poults Matched and raised, and the
quality of the birds, will thrice pay
for the new bird. That turkey rails
ing is very profitable line of poultry
production can no longer be doubted.

LEAVE ODD LEGACIES
SOME REMARKABLE REQUESTS
NOTED BY LAWYERS.
Pair Of Old shoestrIngs, Left by Nil.
waukee Woman to Friend, Among
tho Queerest on Record-HaIr
Brush Left to Nephew.

When they opened the will of Miss
Mathilda Tommet in Milwaukee the
other day they found that one of her
bequests was pair Of old shoestrings
given to a woman relative with whom
she had been on friendly terms for
many years. There did not appear to
be any sarcasm or Ill feeling connect
ed with the legacy, and judged by the
common sense way in which the re-
mainder Of her property was bestowed
there did not seem to be ground for
the suspicion that the decedent was
not In her right mind.
The cases are numberless in which
odd things have been beQueathed and
countless have been the contests to
break wills that contain provisions
along lines similar to that of Miss
Tommet's will. In New Orleans there
died not long ago a wealthy old man
noted for his shrewdness in business
deals. One Of the beQuests of his very
long will was a hair brush that he
had used for many years.
This brush he gave to a nephew.
Samuel Thompson Finnerty-who had
been named after the old man-with
the proviso, however, that the brush
should be kept in the Finnerty family
vault one month out of twelve and in
q mahogany box containing an cleo
trio belt that the decedent had worn
for years. The acceptance Of the
brush, conditional on carrying out the
old mans wishes, meant that the
nephew was to inherit and enjoy two
thirds OF the estate. The rest Of the
will was sound and tight in every re-
spect. according to the lawyers.
Margaret Ann Epping Of San Fran
ciesco left $4,000 each to ten of her
nephews about six years ago. but this
was the condition: Her tombstone
was to be replaced every two years
with new one on which each nephew
In turn Should cause to be chiselled
an appropriate verse setting forth
his love and affection" As the be-
quests were in the shape of annuities
from bulk fund the nephews in or.
der to draw upon the fund for their
income had to comply with the de-
mands Of the decedent. One nephew
sued and was beaten. Although under
the terms Of the will he was to forfeit
his share for contesting, the will was
so construed and interpreted that he
still received his annuity, but subject
to the new tombstone conditions.
Jabez Hollister of Montreal left his
two sons the use Of a corn razor that
he-a cutler-had specially ground
and fixed up for chiropodic use. For
the sake Of their health and the risk
they ran from blood poisoning If 9th.
er corn cutters were used" the sons
were admonished to use no other cut
ter and cash amount was to be for
feited II they disobeyed. One son,
after he had recovered from the shock
Of his fathers death, laughingly told
the lawyers that he had never had a
corn In his life. But the lawyers in.
sisted that his father was likely to
have known whether he had or not.
