PECULIAR LRL ,ioU~ FARM
Canadian Has Pleasant Possibilities In
His Proposed Raising Of
Black Foxes.

Probably few, If any, men in this
province have started black foN farm
at less cost than Robert Rowley pro
prietor of the Laurentide preserves at
lake Edward, says a Quebec CORE
spondent of the Montreal Gazette.
While up at Roberval Mr. R1wley
heard that a man there had four young
pups, part red and part black. II is
said that nobody wanted TO buy the
animals, though the price was about
$40 or so head Mr.. Rowley gave the
man his price. The next morning Mr..
Friedman, manager of the black fox
ranch of Lieutenant Governor Wood
of New Brunswick, who had been
securing the country for young stock,
saw the foxes and immediately went
into the hotel and in front OF every
one present offered Mr.. Rowley sew
eral thousand dollars, but was refused.
When the villagers realized the offer
some OF them almost collapsed on the
spot and the place has been fox crazy
ever since.
Mr.. Rowley is also purchasing pure
black dog fox at very small sum and
will Cross it with the litter which he
got so cheaply. He expects to have
litter of pure black foxes next
| spring.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR

AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

MADE RULES FOR COMPOSERS
Frederick the Great, Talented Musi-
clan Himself, Laid Down I'm
peratlve Orders.

Frederick the Great was the most
distinguished musical amateur of his
age, and his position gave him the
power to regulate the style Of COM
position employed by the musicians OF
his period. For instance, he made the
following rules to be followed by ope'
ratio composers: "All the principal
singers must have big arias and differ
ent in character, as an adagio aria,
which must be very cantabile to show
off to good advantage the voice and
delivery of the singer; in da capo the
artist can then display her art in
embellishing variations; then there
must be an allegro aria with brilliant
passages, gallant aria, duet for the
first male singer and the prima donna
In these pieces the big forms or meas
ure must be used so as to give pathos
to the tragedy; the smaller forms of
time, such as two-four and three-eight,
are for the secondary roles, and for
these a tempa minuetto can be writ
ten. There must be the necessary
changes of time, but minor keys muse
be avoided in the theater. because
they are too mournful."

the city, and though the defense was
desperate many of the pirates being
killed, Panama fell within three hours.
What Morgan did TO the devoted in
habitants in the effort to find all their
hidden treasure is too horrible to re-
late. Soon after the capture OF the
city fire broke out in many quarters,
and Esquemeling says the conflagra-
ton was started by Morgan, though
he laid the blame on the Spaniards.
Anyway, as the houses were almost
all built of cedar, the entire city was
soon consumed by flames. Some three
weeks later Captain Morgan departed
from Panama, or rather from the place
where the city of Panama stood; of
the spoils whereof he carried away
with him ITS beasts of carriage laden
with silver, gold and other precious
things, besides about six hundred pris-
oners, men, women, children and
slaves"

struggled on, suffering intensely for

Indians had destroyed the villages and
crops along the way. At one point
they found number OF leathern bags,

UNIQUE WEAPONS OF WAR
Wooden Cannon Have Been Used
With success In Modern Times by
West Indian RsvoiutionIsts.

Any one familiar with the construc-
tion Of modern weapons of warfare
and the high explosives used in them
would naturally suppose a cannon
made of wood would be of little or no
value as weapon.
Wooden cannons have been used
with considerable success, neverthe-
less, in recent revolutions In Cuba,
Haiti and in the Dominican republic.
The wood used in the construction
OF these crude weapons is q very
tough variety, having a twisted grain
that curls about the log In such way
that to split the timber with the Or
dinary means Is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected, and a
piece Of the log five or six feet in
length and about one foot in diameter
10 cut. After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round, It 10
is burned into 1t from one end. The
log ia wound with strips Of rawhide
cut from the skin Of steer. When
the cannon is covered with the strips
of hide, another layer is wound on,
and this is continued until the weapon
has increased several inches in diam
eter.
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to hot draft, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannons have been
used with success in number of In
stances, and 1t is astonishing the num-
ber Of times they may be fired before
they burst or become otherwise dis
abled.-Harper's Weekly.
