In America We Do Not
Exalt the Dandy; We
Make Fun of Him.

Indeed, in America the living
picture man finds scant favor
either with his own or the opposite
sex. and we do not exalt the dandy
who is the glass Of fashion and
the mold of form to pinnacle and
initiate him. We throw bricks at
him and laugh at him.
Strangely enough, it is men who
are slaves TO beauty and who make
fools of themselves over it-not
women. When you tell man
about a woman the very first ques-
ton he asks you is. rs she pref
ty?" He never inquiries whether
she is intelligent. or talented. or
agreeable, or good. or what she
has done to merit the approval
Of her fellow creatures. The thing
that he is chiefly interested in is
her looks. He places more value
on her complexion than her char
acter. and considers the outside of
her head Of more Importance than
the inside.
If a girl has yellow hair and blue
eyes, and a peaches and cream
skin, and a wiIlowy figure, she
may be the dullest, the stupidest
imbecile that ever lived. her heart
may be as hard as a rock and she
herself nothing but a clothes horse

Will ioo around her like bees

Jupiter. He turns on his own axis
so rapidly that his day Is only
ten hours long, and If we were
situated on his equator we should
find ourselves whirled round at
the rate OF more than $1,000 miles
per hour.
One consequence of this is that
he has f1attened his own poles and
swelled out his own equator by
centrifugal force to such an ex-
tent that he measures about 5000
miles less through the poles than
through the equator. His equs-
torial diameter is about $4,000
miles, and his polar diameter only
about $4,000 miles.
This difference Is so striking
that you can see it easily If you
look at Jupiter through a tele-
scope. He is not round like q
baseball, but elongated like foot
ball, or. rather, flattened like a
pumpkin. Another consequence
Of his mad energy of motion.

him with a telescope. is that his
whole surface is covered with
parallel belts of clouds drawn
out into bands by the swift rota-

see the planet turning. if YOU

Women Do Not Care to
Cater to Caprices of
a Vain Man.

In reality, it is not too much to
say women rather resent than ad-
mire beauty in men. 1t is poach-
ing on their own preserves, the in
vading of a field they hold sacred
to themselves. If anybody is going
to be admired, a woman knows
who ought to be IT. She wants
the tributes laid at her feet, and
not to be compelled to scatter
roses before a man and tell him
what beautiful eyes he has got,
and how eXQuisitely his hair grows,
and what a magnificent straight
front figure he possesses.
Faugh, The very thought of
such a thing knocks romance out
of the ring with the average girl,
nor does the idea of being the ordi-
nary looking wife of a handsome
man make any hit with her.

TOday's Short Story
A Message In Blood

THE detective has many curious rid
dies to solve One Of the most
remarkable that ever came up
for my solution was connected with
the case of a man named Joel Klap-
per. He lived alone and was murder
ed one night during a blizzard. The
murderer left him for dead, but he
did not die for some time after the
blow was struck.
Klapper was used to reading at night
in bed before going to sleep and kept
on stand beside his bed lamp.
matches and some books. When the
body was discovered in the morning
the lamp was burning. though the oil
was nearly exhausted. People who had
passed the house between II and II
reported that they had seen no light,
but man who had passed just before
dawn on his way to a train declared
that he had noticed a light in Klap-
per's room.

new DISEASE KILLS SWINE

A. j. Summers, one of the extern
sive hog growers of the valley, is
losing many pigs with some disease
which seems new in the valley and
which is believed to be contagious.
The hogs feed all right during the
day and night, but become suddenly
sick and die in a few minutes after
being stricken. Mr.. Summers has
asked the state veterinarian for as
sistance.
No one in the valley is familiar
with the disease or the cause of it.
County Agricultural advisor L.
Lampson is at a loss to diagnose the
disease and says it is new in the
state.
Many of the Summers hogs have
died within the past week, and
ranchers are afraid the disease will
spread. -Hanford Columbian.

HEN HABITS.
spread.

While the hen, like men, may in
some respects be morally depraved, yet
she is also a creature of habit and is
capable Of instruction and what she is
depends much on the human who
makes her young ideas shoot.
If she's an egg fiend, she gets that
habit because enough nests are not
provided and the egg laid on the floor
rolls around, gets cracked and Is eaten
and she wants more, or the nest is
open on top and the eggs are trampled
On and broken, or there is not lime to
make strong eggshells or something
that's in the egg is needed in the ra
ton to satisfy the needs of her sys-
tenn.
If she's a feather fiend. devouring
her own garments and disrobing her
brothers and sisters, there's a reason
for it. She may be bughouse and get
the habit while pecking at crawlers, or
gets no meat in the ration, or is not
kept busy scratching in litter, or she
may get the taste from eating scalded
feathers thrown away by some vast
ing housewife.
If she raises Cain in the neighbor-
hood by tearing up the neighbours gar
den that habit wasn't born with her
in the egg. There's a hole in the
fence, top rail on the wire or neigh
boris i'll smelling, insanitary garbage
pile or a charming chanticleer leads
her into temptation. If she runs from
her owner as If scared to death and
skyrockets off the nest at his approach,
it's sign of roughhouse methods and
cussin' in the chicken coop.
A nervous. kicking, balky horse, a
cow that slaps the milkmaid with her
tail and kicks over the milk bucket,
or dog that chases team and causes
runaway and snaps at the passerby,
these do not come by such habits nat
urally. but by training or lack Of train
ing. So with the hen. You can't
teach a hen to play a bass horn nor
sing a duet with Melba, but by gentle
ness you can make her gentle, and
you can keep her from forming bad
habits by keeping inducements to such
away.

BLACK LEG is FATAL.
Bad Calf Disease May Be Prevented
by Timely Use Of Vaccine.

Bad Calf Disease May Be Prevented
by Timely Use Of Vaccine.
Blackleg Of calves is almost invaria-
bly, fatal in twenty-four to thirty-six
hours and has so few symptoms that
the animal Is usually found dead or
nearly so with one or more swellings
resembling bruises on the side, belly
or the upper part of the legs. The
owner usually assumes that the calf
was kicked or hooked to death and so
skins the animal and leaves the car
cass to spread the infection.
Blackleg may always be recognized
by the swellings which contain bub-
bles of gas in black, clotted blood.
When the skin over the swelling is
rubbed it gives a peculiar cracking
sound. The hide should never be
broken. but the body buried deep and
covered with lime. After two years
cattle seem to be immune to blackleg,
and it is not caught by horses, sheep
or pigs. 1t is not contagious; but,
like the germ Of lockjaw. it is in the
soil of certain fields and is caught in
slight scratches. not deep wounds, due
to bushes or wire fences. An animal
with such a scratch lies on infected
ground. and the infection is taken. On
this account 1t is seldom epidemic and
therefore attracts less attention than it
would if it were more abundant at one
season.
There is no cure known for this dis
ease. but it may be prevented by vac
cination. with the vaccine issued free
by the United States department of
agriculture, 1t Is only a small job to
vaccinate calves. and. as it gives COM
plete immunity. it is a cheap insur-
ance.
Do not delay until you lose calf.
but you may rest easy when you have
calves between four months and two
years and apply the vaccine.-Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

it has fooled six nations. Six nations
believe that the sunfower turns to-

they deluded that they call it by a

the Hungarians call it naptafOrgo
Each Of these words means turn to

don't 60 quite that far in admitting
themselves to be the plants dupes
They only call it sunfower. They mean
by that name, though, quite as much
as the other names imply. The belief
is general among six nations that the

ways faces the luminary. AS a matter
Of fact, there is only one flower that
