LIVE ON FISH THEY CATCH
Remarkable Breed of "Banker Ponies
Natives of the Coast of
North Carolina.

On the coast of North Carolina there
are several miles of low, sandy shore
where nothing grows except coarse
grass, few salt water weeds and wild
parsley. On these banks lives strange
breed Of half-wild horses known as
banker ponies" These creatures are
generally about twice the size of Shet-
land ponies. Every year the herd
owners drive the bankers into pens,
brand the foals with the proper mark,
and catch some of the older animals
to sell to the dealers.
North Caro1inians say that the beasts
must be starved into eating. grain, hay
or grass, for they have always lived
on the rank salt marsh grass of the
marshes and on fish. They catch the
fish for themselves at low tide; with
their hoofs they dig deep holes in the
sand below high-water mark, and when
the tide falls they greedy devour the
fish that are stranded in these holes.
Often they fight brisky over an espe-
cially tempting morsel.
In captivity these strange horses are
intelligent, but seldom are even in
temper. Once tanned, they make ex-
cellent draft animals, for they have
a strength that is disproportionate to
their size. Foals that are bred from
bankers" in captivity make valuable
animals-strong and intelligent.

Raner Saws to Cut Wood.

Circular saws made of paper, fol
use in making veneer and fine fur
niture, are being turned out in fac
tory in England. Thin plates of wood
cut by these saws are so finely fin
ished that cabinet makers do not
have to plane them at all before they
are used.
Such saws were originally shown
at an English exposition and were
driven by an electric motor. They
are manufactured from compressed
drawing paper. Indeed, compressed
drawing paper of such hardness has
been made in England that it has
even been used in place of building
stone.
Experiments in the manufacture of
car wheels from compressed paper
have been made in America for a
number of years, but the product has
never competed seriously with the
ordinary steel wheels. 1t is only in
the production of certain articles, as
the veneer saw, that any advantage
is found.

ONE THING THAT JOB MISSED
Man of Many Trials Was at Least
Spared Experience That Befell
Mr.. Brown.

The talk turned to expletive elo-
quence at a recent smokefest when
Congressman George White of Ohio
said that there are times when the
lurid language of father might seem
to be justified.
Some time ago a party named Brown
bought an automobile, and, after
taking few lessons at the wheel and
putting up the price of license. he
and wife whizzed forth to see the
scenery.
Everything ratified on as beautifully
as joy bells for about two miles, and
then the machine stopped in the mid
die of the road. Whereat father hustled
out to take look, and, thinking he
could fix things, he got down on his
hands and knees and crawled under

from papa.

ANCIENT CITY OF THE INCAS
Ruins Discovered on the Summit of
the Peruvian Andes May Reveal
Much Of History.

Visions of departed glory are con-
jured by the news that the ruins Of an
Inca city, hitherto unknown to arch
biologists, have been discovered on the
summit of the Peruvian Andes There
is. perhaps, no more fascinating chap
ter in the history of the western hemi-
sphere than that which deals with the
remarkable civilization of this South
American race.
Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yale de-
clares the ruins to be the largest, with
the. one exception of Cuzco, that have
yet been discovered. They derive
additional interest from the fact that
they have remained unoccupied since
they were deserted by their original in
habitants, and may thus be counted
upon to tell a story unmarried by the
alterations of human design.
Archeologists think the Cuzco val
ley of Peru was settled by the Incas
some 800 years before Pizarro landed
on the coast. 1t was in 1927 he first
cast envious eyes upon the wealth and
glory of this new world empire. He
returned to Spain with his story, and
made a contract to conquer the
empire. He paid the price of his life
to crafty his ambition, but the Inca
empire fell and the glories of great
people passed when Spain took pos
session.
The city Of Machu Pichu escaped
SPANS discovery, hidden in its noun
tain fastness, and we await with inter-
est the revelations it's undisturbed
treasures may afford. Assuredly
archaeology will be enriched, and there
is reason to hope that art may gain
by exploration of the ruins.

MADE GOOD DANCING MUSIC
ConVivial Party Had Reasons for De-
string Further Rendering of
"Watch on the Rhine"

The following story comes from
Germany, and pretends to recite facts
only facts. Diagonally across the
street from my lodging, says the teller
of it, there is a restaurant, which has
two dining-rooms set side by side,
both very much frequented of Sun
day evening. One room is the chos-
en- resort of the Society for the En-
enlargement of Patriotic Music. The
other room is used by the Candymak-
ers' Social club. Last Sunday the
musical society gave a concert in its
room, while the confectioners had a
ladies' evening in theirs. Naturally
the patriotic musicians rendered the
Watch on the Rhine"-without the
least suspicion that in the next room
the gentlemen confectioners and their
ladies were dancing to the music thus
provided gratis. ....- ......
When the patriots had done "The
Watch on the Rhine" twice over to
their entire satisfaction there was
pause. Then the door-the door lead
ing into the next room-popped open
and one of the confectioners- en-
thusiastic dancer-poked in his head.

ALL CREATED WITH PURPOSE
Seeds That Seem to Be of Such
Insignificance.

Seeds at best are little things, easily
passed by; yet in the whole scheme of
the universe there is hardly a created
thing of more mighty Importance, says
a writer in the Craftsman. Primarily
they are responsible for the continu-
ance of vegetable species; within
them lies the seat of life. And the
seeds of the earth are multitudinous,
each one having a popularity of form
and color especially its own. One may
hold in the palm of the hand seeds
similar in appearance and yet so diff
ferent in purpose that only the im23i-
nation can form any conception of the
offspring which it is their destiny to
bring forth
The most delicate and fairest
flowers, perhaps baby's breath and
love-in-a-mist, may cover a section of
the garden as a result of seeds sown;
and at the same time great oaks,
naples, willows, pines, beeches, ashes
and every other form of tree that
grows, stand in the forest because of
the seeds sown by the wind or dropped,
like acorns, into their places. The
grass forming the greensward about
the home; the grain of the field giving
flood to the multitude, waving corn and
climbing bean, are all the outcome of
myriads of seeds possible to hold in
the hollow of the hand.

Cheese From Trees.

A German traveller reports that the
negroes of the Kamerun country, in
Africa, make cheese of which they
are very fond from the seeds of tree
known as Treculia Africana. They
cook the seeds, and then shell and
crush them into a semiliquid mass
After f1avoring the mass with pepper,
and pouring off the liquid, they mold
it into cakes of a grayish-white color
that at first do not taste at all like
cheese. The pembe, as the natives
call the stuff, has to- ripen just like
ordinary cheese. To this end, the ma
tives expose the cakes to the air. The
color gradually changes from gray tc
yellow, and finally to brown. During
the process the cakes smell like
cheese, but later have a distinctly
sour odor. When ripe, they taste like
strong cheese; and, in fact, as they
are formed by the same bacterial
changes that give flavor to our own
cheeses, it is quite correct to call this
native delicacy cheese from tree

LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN TYPE
Humanity Answers to Environment.
Irrespective of Blood or Other
Causes Of Racial Differences

Prejudice should be omitted nom
the travellers outfit, declares F. G.
Aflalo, in the Fortnightly Review.
The tourist who leaves home in the
assumption that every German is q
fre-eater, every American a braggart.
and every Italian a Lothario is sure
to meet with awkward disappoint-
ments, and will certainly impair his
own chances of getting the fullest en-
joyment out of his experience Gen
orally speaking, so far, at any rate. as
European nations are concerned.
human nature is approximately homo
geneous, and there is much to be said
for Mr.. Beloc's contention that the DIFF
ferences between the nations are
grossly exaggerated, and that, in face
of a common Mohammedan or Mon
golian enemy, these differences would.
az likely as not, altogether disappear.
Travel teaches appreciation of another
uniformity of type, and that is the

LESSON IN FARM MARKETING
How One Producer Raised the Price
and Made Sale, Which His
Competitor Lost.

Two farm wagons stood in a public
market, both loaded with bags of po-
tatoes. A woman stopped before the
first.
How much are potatoes today?"
she asked.
Ninety cents a bushel," said the
owner.
"Oh, my!" exclaimed the woman.
THAT seems high; 1 paid only go
cents for the last"
'Taters've gone up said the
grower indiferently, and the woman
went over to the second wagon and
asked the same question. The own
er's manner was in marked contrast.
These are the best potatoes in the
market, ma'am," he said. Let me
show them to you and tell you why.
In the first place, raise the kind with
small eyes, so there'n be no waste in
peeling- potatoes are too high now
adays to peel away. Then 1 sort them
by sizes. In each bag you'll find a
large size for boiling, frying, and fancy
shapes and a medium size for baking.
The baking size cooks quickly, all
done at the same time, and saves coal

all our potatoes clean at home, too.
