PERSIA'S DEVIL PLANT.
II 10 Death to the Animal It Grips With
Its Claws.

Its Claws.
The devil plant they call it in Persia.
and well they may, for it is more dead
ly to the fiocks and herds that play so
important a part In their life than is
the loco weed to the herds OF our
southwestern states.
1t is in the fall that the devil plant
gets in its deadly work The flowers
give place to seed pods with great
belly like capsules and long, stiff claws
like those of beast of prey. These
are hidden under the brown and yell
low leaves, and when a grazing animal
"A sheep. camel, q wild ass or an
antelope. for example-browses among
the foliage the claws hook themselves
into its nostrils. The animal tries to
rub them Off. but the more 1t rubs the
deeper 1t forces the clawlike hooks
into its skin Its throat becomes so
inflamed that 1t can neither eat nor
drink. and consequently it dies of star
walton and pain.
The animals body lies In the open
and decays, and into the decomposing
flesh the hundreds of black seeds con
tanned in the capsules of the clawed
pod are discharged. for 1t seems that
earth is not rich enough for them and
only in decayed flesh can they find
enough nourishment.
Drivers Of caravans curse the devil
plant, for it may cost them many OF
their beasts when these are turned
loose to Craze at night. But most of
the semiwild beasts that Craze in the
country have learned to avoid 1t. even
as the American herds have learned to
avoid the deadly loco weed.-New York

Must Keep the Curtains Up.

In London 1t is strictly against the
law for the driver of any public con-
veyance to allow the curtains of his
vehicle to be pulled down." said man
who has visited the English metropolis.
"By day or night the windows of cabs.
hansoms, carriages. or what not, wheth-
err drawn by horses or propelled by
electric power. must be so open to pub
lie inspection as to allow Il plain view
of those occupying the interior. A
closed rig wouldn't get block before
a London bobby would nab its driver
and hale him to magistrates office
where he would get no mercy. The
law is based on the theory that closed
vehicles lend themselves easily to the
commission of robbery or murder and
that they may also assist a criminal to
make his escape"

End of the Locomotive.

When railroad locomotives have
served their time of usefulness or are
badly damaged through accidents they
are ordinarily strapped and disposed
of as salvage. This at least Is the
practice followed by many Of the CON-
panies which turn over their obsolete
equipment of this kind to firms which
Junk it. After the sheetng is removed
from the sides of the locomotive the
cutting Is done with oxyacetylene
torches. Castings, malleable iron and
the different grades Of metal are sepa-
rated as the work proceeds.-Popular

To Change Umbrella Handles.

Sometimes person would like to
change an expensive umbrella handle
to another umbrella and fasten 1t on
solid. This can be done by cleaning
out the hole left in the handle from the
old rod and filling the hole with pow
dered sulphur. Place the handle in a
solid upright position and after heating
the umbrella rod red hot push the rod
down into the hole containing the sui
phur. The hot rod fuses the sulphur
and when cool II will hold the rod
solid. This method may be applied to
fastening rods into stone. iron or wood

FROZEN FOODS.
AND Why Care Should Be Exercised In
Eating Thawed Fish.

Eating Thawed Fish.
Meat Will stay fresh IL kept at
temperature of 80 degrees F. Not so
nsn. Putrefaction is due to two causes-
nlcro-organisms. which are present ey
erywnere. and certain ferments nor
mally contained in the flesh. which
cause changes in composition and tia
vor. A temperature of 30 degrees
checks the action of the former. but
mas little effect upon the latter In the
case OF meat this has merely ''ripen
ing effect that improves the flavor
and does no harm, but In the case of
fish IT makes the flesh taste disagree
able. although 1t may not be unwhole-
some.
This Is why fish that is not market
ed perfectly fresh is frozen. In prac-
tice 70 degrees F. is regarded as the
proper temperature for storing frozen
fish Oysters should not be frozen, and

Played Ball

That's what the boys did Sun
day. The conclusion was finally
reached by common consent
that they had been fooling long
enough; and though finally beat
en- by a score of one in fourteen
innings, they made the visiting
team do the playing of their
lives for hat one.
One thing, the boys this time
had a better pitcher than they
have had before, and thus by the
addition of a few good players
they we're enabled to play bet
ter game than they have ever
played before.
The tally shows that Lee
Holmes made two scores, Jen-
nings ma de three, Ray ore, In
man two, Wilson two, Robb two,
Adams two.
Jennings deserves speclaI
mention for his excellent pitch
ing, as well as for his batting
and running, he making three
scores and two home runs
A special feature of interest
was the fair fans that surely
towards the middle of the game
helped tn rattle the boys from
North Fork.
Taking their cue from the fail
Artesia fans of the Sunday be-
fore, about a dozen of them lined
~ and hollered for Springfield
in a way that would have made
the Artesia girls wonder low ii
was done.
Nav be the Artesia boys can
beat Springfield in another game
and maybe they can't, but well
bet by heck those sweet Artesl;in
voices WON'T be allie to make any
home runs as against the fair
fans of Springfield. Indeed we
will pit our fair fans of last Sun
day against all comers, whether
they he fair fans or otherwise.
The score finally stood IA to IL
in fayer of North Fork.
Good feeling prevailed through
out the game, and at it's close
a collection was taken up to helr
pay the expenses Of the visitors
Springfield will be glad to play
Nor:h Fork again sometime II
the future.
