PURE AIR REQUIRED
BY FARM ANIMALS
Impossible to Secure Good Re-
suits With Sheep in Neigh
bOrhOod of Large Cities.

Animals, like men, attain their best
growth and development when they
have pure food and air.
In England it has been found i'm
possible to raise sheep with good re-
suits in the neighborhood of large cit
les. where the cir was polluted by
smoke and gas.
The wool obtained from these city
bred animals was of such poor quail
ity that 1t did not pay to rear them.
No doubt this was due partly to the
fact that the grass on which the anil
mails fed was also of poor quality.
Horses which are brought up In
fresh country air attain their growth
more quickly, and 1t takes less food
and care to keep them in gooS cen.
dition.

FIRST VIEW OF PORTUGAL
Writer Describes SpIendor of Scene
as He Entered the Wondrous
Harbor of Lisbon.

The sun was nearing the horizon as
the sea narrowed to a strait, and to
the left the old Tower of Belem again
awoke memories of Vasco da Cana
and his glorious return, writes Ernest
Peixotto in Scribners. Now as we
threaded the narrows, the pale houses
OF Lisbon, clustered thick as eggs in
basket, pink, blue, ochre and white,
pile up the hills to the Ajuda palace,
and we entered the broad bay formed
by the Tagus just as 1t empties into
the sea-one of the largest harbors
in Europe, that, however, with its
sparse shipping, now seems like a
frame too large for it's picture.
Amid great hustle and confusion we
were landed in tender at the AL
fandega, took cab with a pair of
rafting ponies, sped through the hilly
streets of the city, and then the broad
Avenida opened before US, and we
drew up at our hotel
The first impression from our win
dow next morning was a most pleas
ant one. And, indeed, Lisbon leaves
the definite impression of a gay,
bright capital, if not of truly beau
tiful city. Beautiful it certainly is by
nature, seated on it's lofty hills over
looking the Tagus and interspersed
everywhere with semitropie gardens
and largos, but its newer houses are
too rectangular, too lacking in imag-
nation to make anything but rather
monotonous streets. Even the Praca
do Commercio, though laid out upon
truly magnificent scale, fails to
arouse enthusiasm.
This is the city's aspect to the
casual visitor who devotes but a day
or two to it's sights. But to one who
is willing to give it week or more
1t holds many attractions.
The seeker for the picturesque will
delight in the water front in the morn
ing hours and in the fisher folk-the
men in black bag-caps and Knee
breeches; the women, barefoot, set
ting out with basket on head to trot
the city streets. These fishwives are
the most picturesque of the Lisbon
types and most of them are really
beautiful, the fine ovals of their faces,
their smooth compilations and lus-
trous almond-shaped eyes recalling
the Mauresques and clearly bespeak-
ing their oriental origin.

Too Sour.

Professor Copeland of Harvard, as
the story goes. reproved his students
for coming late to class
This is a class in English compo,
sition," he remarked with sarcasm

At the next meeting one girl was
20 minutes late. Professor Copeland
waited until she had taken her seat.
Then he remarked bitingly:
How will you have your tea, Miss
Brown"
Without the lemon, please" Miss
Brown answered quite gently.-Chris-

Novels In Class.

The novel falls into one Of four
classes, as it deals with romance,
with life, with ideals, or as, lastly, it
takes the shape of work of art pure
and simple. OF the great novelists Of
the last century, Scott, Thackeray and
George Eliot stand for the first three
types. For the fourth we look in
vain in that period. Mr.. Hardy, who
embodies it as to the manner born,
is of our own generation; and here
the name which at once occurs to rs
for romance is that of Robert Louis
Stevenson, for life that of George
Meredith, and for ideas that of Mrs.
Humphrey Ward. The divisions, of
course, overlap.

Haymaking is an art which a great
many farmers have not yet learned.
The modern method Of making hay
is far different from that of the old
days when the grass was cut with
scythes, turned with pitchforks-if
time permitted-and slowed away in
dark, musty barns, or stacked in the
open field to keep or spoil as might be.
In modern haymaking, time is es-
sential. II the crop should be cut
day too soon it will easily spoil. If
a day too late its quality may be i'm
paired by its dry, woody growth. If
1t is allowed to lie on the ground "a
hours too long before being tossed and
cured, its quality may be reduced one
half.
Modern haying machinery makes
haymaking easier, but even with all
the appliances that ingenious manu-
facturers have given us, the proper
tion of farmers who make a sure
thing of their hay crop every year
Is all 100 small.
There always has been great deal
of trouble in curing the clover hay
crop. Much OF its value is lost be-
cause of the lack of help necessary to
properly cure it and take care of it
after it has been cured. The hay
tedder has helped greatly and this
kicking machine is now seen on every
good farm where the best modern
methods are employed.
The side rake is another fine ma
chine which helps us in saving the
crop, and IL clover Is cut at exactly
the right time the use OF these two
machines will enable any farmer to
save all there is of his crop, with at
least 80 per cent of its feeding value.

TACOMA WOMEN
MIGHT TELL
HAIR SECRET

A great many Tacoma women,
who have an abundance of beau
tfful hair, know about a re-
markable hair formula which
every woman ought to know
about. For a number of years
Tacoma druggists have been con-
tinually called upon to mix this
formula. Undoubtedly the use of
this formula is largely the secret
Of the beauty and luxuriance of
the hair of very many Tacoma
women-and men too. The for
mula consists of six ounces of bay
rum, two ounces lavona de COM
posee, and one-half drachm OF
menthol crystals. Some people
add a teaspoonful OF perfume. A
New York physician and a New
York chemist were recently con-
suited regarding the efficacy OF
this mixture and they both say
they know of nothing better to
destroy dandruff, stimulate hair
growth, cleanse and invigorate
the scalp. stop falling hair, and
to make the hair fluffy and give
II lustre. Any druggist can fur
nish you the ingredients which
you can mix at home or will mix
them for you. Apply to the
scalp night and morning and rub
in with the finger tips.

fled that she did not In her own
mind condone his wrong-doins,
but 1t Is very probable that she
needed money because the man
was not one who could lose $40

In his salary. And when a man

She may have thought that
Johnny needed shoes or that
Mary's music lessons were not

proven by what Dicks friend told
him, that her husband found she
could be bought and that he had
purchased her silence on the sub
ject for $40.
If she had not taken that money
would she have been any better

He would probably have resent

would have been quarrel that
would have made them both more

quarrel with her husband she will
ever after wish she had done the

Acid StOmachS
Are Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by a New
York Physician.

Common Sense Advice by a New
York Physician.
"Acid" stomaohs are dangerous
because too much acid irritates
and inflames the delicate lining
of the stomach, thus hindering
and preventing the proper action
of the stomach, and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases
of stomach trouble from which
people suffer. Ordinary medi-
cines and medicinal treatments
acting only upon the stomach
walls. or as an artificial digest
ant, are useless in such cases, for
they leave the source of the trou-
BILE, the excess acid in the stom-
ach, as dangerous as ever. The
acid must be neutralized, and its
excessive formation prevented,
and there is nothing better for
this purpose than teaspoonful
of plain bisurated magnesia, a
simple antacid, taken in a little
warm or cold water after eating,
which not only neutralizes the
acid, but also prevents the fer
mentation. Foods which ordi-
narily distress may be digested
perfectly If the meal is followed
with a little bisurated magnesia,
which can be obtained from any
druggist and should always be
kept handy.
