How Absinth Is Made.

An old Moor to whom a trader tried
to explain the tyrannous nature Of the
order forbidding the sale of absinth III
Morocco took a wholly unexpected at
titude.
''Absinth," he said, lis an invention
OF the evil one. On it's roots he pours
the blood of a peacock; then when the
leaves begin to grow he sprinkles them
with the blood of a monkey; then he
dips the stalks in the blood Of bear;
lastly he mingles with the juice of the
plant the blood of Il pig.
so that when the faithful drinks
absinth at the first glass his appetite
awakes, and he arises proud as pea
cock: ut the second glass he becomes
excited and gesticulates like Il monkey;
at the third he becomes quarrelsome
and spiteful. like bear; at the fourth
be becomes besotted and falls to the
earth and rolls like a hog in the mire.
May Allah protect us, the order is
right New York Times.

Itaiy's Deep Blue Skies.

The sky Of Italy is noted for it's
clearness. The blue is deeper not be-
cause the dust there is finer than in
the northern countries, but because
in the countries of the north, due to
the greater GOODNESS Of the air, the
vapor more readily condenses upon
the dust particles. The dust particles
thus become larger and consequently
not so effective in turning back the
blue rays alone, but others are also
reflected, and a grayish effect is pro-
duced In a single location the blue
of the sky may appear bluer at one
time than another. The sky is often
times said to be very blue when some
white cumulus clouds are outlined
against it. The sky is then deep
blue by contrast with the brilliant
white. After shower, when the
lower stratum of air is washed of it's
coarse dust particles, a deeper and
purer blue is the result.

feeders have been compelled to pay
higher prices for such cattle or to take
thinner animals.
The cattle feeding business has
changed greatly during recent years.
Formerly steers from four to six years
of age were fed in large numbers on
commercial feed at yards near granaries
or mills or upon large farms where
only the roughage was grown and the
cattle were kept on full feed for six
months or longer. This method be-
came too expensive, so feeding is now
conducted upon farms as a means OF
marketing farm products by convert
ing them into beef, while the manure
produced is utilized as a byproduct for
maintaining fertility

college says ringworm is a contagious
disease, spreading from animal to ami

with soap and water so as to remove
all scabs, after which tincture of 10
dine should be applied once a week.
Two applications of the iodine are
usually sufficient to effect cure.
