Land Titled.

The department of agriculture esti mates that there are 14O,OO0.00O acres of tillable land in the United States and that only P per cent of this i'm mense area is under cultivation. It might add that of the p per cent ac- tualIy cultivated comparatively few acres are handled in such way as to show anything like their maximum pro- duction.
 Here is food for the pessimist. The man who fears that the country is nearing actual exhaustion may find cheer in the thought that little more than quarter of the available agricu- tural land is being made productive. Supply inevitably meets demand, and as the demand for agricultural products increases the, supply will be enlarged by the development of regions which have not been touched by the plow.- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Spoiled Scene.

E. F. Sothern once found his wit fail him .n time of need. It was in the fourthS act of "The Lady of Lyons. Suthern played Claude Melnotte. and Virginia Harmed was cast as Pauline. Beausant, the villain. was pursuing Pauline, and she cried loudly for help Claude is supposed to dash to her res cue and catch the fainting Pauline in his arms. Sothern dashed on to the stage, but slipped and slid. sitting down near the footlights. Losing his presence of mind he acclaimed the line: Look up. Pauline. There is no danger" As Virginia Harmed was standing, this was. of course. an i'm possibility. By this time the audience was in an uproar. and when Arthur Lawrence. who played Beausant. scornfully said, You are beneath me" the amusement of the audience knew no bounds.

CANINE TRICKERY.
An English Officers Story of Dog
 That Learned to Cheat.

That one dog at least not only rea- sons, but has been known actually to cheat is the conviction of young English army officer who owns a smart cocker spaniel. Among other tricks the officer has trained the dog to answer letter call' and fetch his owners mail to the mess table. Pleas ed with the dogs intelligence, the officer fell into the habit of giving him lump of sugar from the breakfast table.
 One morning soon after the trumpet CT had sounded letter call" the span iel came in with neither papers nor letters. This was unusual, for the officer subscribed to a daily paper that invariably arrived in the morn ings mail. but he thought little of it at the time. About II o'clock, how ever, the dog entered his masters quarters and deposited muddy paper upon the floor. The officer did not understand the situation, but he gave the dog lump of sugar. Half an hour later the dog appeared again with a very muddy and crumpled letter in his mouth. Then the owners suspicious were aroused
 He gave the dog another lump of sugar and watched him. He soon found that the dog had buried the mornings mail in the rear of the off cer's mess and was digging it up a letter at time. apparently with a view to lump of sugar for each piece of mail.-Exchange

For the benefit of the nervous cases that come to the doctor 1t has beeu asserted that it is just as necessary to know how emotional they are as it is to know how high the temperature is in a case of fever. Moreover, in many cases. it is necessary to find out what experiences in the past or present life of the patient produce emotions. For this purpose the patient sits at ease with hands on the electrodes, which may be so concealed in the arms of his chair that he is una ware that the most intimate processes of his soul are be- ing registered as various words are spoken or various topics of conversa- tion are discussed, the galvanometer showing when a sensitive subject has been touched.

PERiLoUs PLUGGING.
The Embrace of a Kangaroo Does Not
 Leave Pleasant Memories.


 Notwithstanding the kangaroos pop ular reputation for speed. he is easily overtaken in the bush by a good horse tthey say) within half mile. A ca- pable kangaroo dOg-a lean, swift beast, a cross between a greyhound and mastiff, bred to course and kill soon runs him to bay. Without dogs It is the custom to kill with a cudgel. This is often accomplished by the sportsman from the back of his horse. Dismounted. however. with the kanga- roo waiting alertly for attack. it is sometimes q perilous venture to come to close quarters. A slip. and the sportsman finds himself at once in q desperate situation.
 One of the lumberjacks with whom we rested in the shade of the backbutt showed us the scars of an encounter. He had ridden the kangaroo down. said he. and, being in haste to make an end of the sport, he had caught up the first likely stick his eye could dis cover and he had stepped quickly and confidently in, and he had struck hard and accurately. And the next instant. caught off the ground, he was struS- gling breast to breast in the hug of the creature. frightfully aware that he must escape before the deadly hind foot had devastated him.
 My club broke." he exclaimed, and the boomer got mel!
 There were long scars on his back and shoulders, the which we were not very sorry to see, for We could not make out why any man should wish to kill kangaroo for sport.-Norman Duncan in Harper's.

ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
How the Pulmotor Is Used to Restore
 Normal Breathing.

How the PuImotor Is Used to Restore
 Normal Breathing.
 The pulmotor is an automatic resus citation appliance which produces flow of inhaled and eXhaled air by a single nozzle, the rhythm of respiration adjusting itself automatically to the dimensions of the lung. ard thus the astonishing result is produced of a seemingly lfeless body beginning to breathe regularly as soon as the pull motor is placed in connection with it. The pulmotor works directly on the respiratory organs and if the spark of life still exists will fan it into flame and give the heart and lungs chance to fight.
 The pulmotor is used on persons over- come by gas. electric shock. apparent ly drowned or in other cases where the breathing of the patient has been seri- ously impaired or stopped entirely and where there still remains slight heart action. It's motive power is an oxygen cylinder containing this gas. which will supply 60 per cent mixture of air and oxygen to the patient for forty minutes 1t has a great advantage over artificial respiration by hand in that it forces larger amounts of oxy. genated air into the lungs than it is possible by ordinary methods of artiti- cial respiration, and the work can be kept up longer.-Philadelphia Press.

 James Berry was not so well paid for his services as his French con- frere, M Antoine Deibler. who draws f5GO year, while his four assistants have a similar amount to divide be- tween them. Samson, the first execu- tioner to wield the guillotine, was originally paid G1, 1,52O a year, but when executioners were appointed in each department this was reduced to $500.
 Before the revolution the legal tariff in France was 25 shillings for be- heading, 1Gs. Sd. for a burning at the stake, and the same amount for hang ing, with allowances for the erection of a scaffold or the provision of fuel.
 One of James Berry's predecessors. for a brief period, donned uniform when at work. In 17S5, according to contemporary chronicler, the sheriffs of London were "so pleased with the excellent mode in which Edward Den- his, their hangman, performed his duties that they presented him with very elegant official robe-a khilaut, in fact, as eastern potentates term simi- lar garb of honor. Dennis found this inconvenient when at work on the scaffold and sold it to a well known character of those days, old Cain. who, having set up as fortune teller wanted robe to complete the cos tune in which he received dupes."

DIET AND COLOR.
What Man Eats Seems to Determine
 the Shade of His Skin.

] What you eat determines your color. according to BergfieId. d German inves' tigator-not necessarily that you your self could effect any change of color. but your ancestors for thousands of years have unconsciouSly been influ- enced by the food they have eaten and the drinks they have drunk.
 | For instance. the original men were black, says Rergficld. Their chief diet was of vegetables and fruits, he ex- | plains, and these same foods contain manganates that are not unlike iron. Dark browns and blacks result from this combination. It is a scientific fact | that negroes who drink milk and eat l meat are never as dark as those who eat vegetables.
 1 He goes on to add that the Indian is
 red because for hundreds and perhaps | thousands of years he has taken into his system the haemoglobn or red ma
 terial in the blood of animals which
 he has killed for their food.

 were fruit eating and who. making
