spook.Ridden Babylon.

In lecture in connection with the
Egypt Exploration fund. on Burial
Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt"
Dr.. L. ". King said the spirit which
animated the Egyptians in their varied
and changing practices toward the
dead was based on affection and rev
erence, but the Pabylonian, in the
main, was prompted by fear. The
Babylonians were probably more
spook-ridden than an. other nation
OF antiquity, and their magical texts
made it clear that the most terrible
class of spirits were the ghosts OF
the dead who for some reason had
been unable to en.er the underworld.
Driven to hunger and thirst, such a
ghost might roam about and fasten on
anyone with whom it had relations
in this life, and 1t would plague him
until he performed the rites that
could give peace. 1t was mainly to lay
the ghost and prevent it from haunt
ing" that the Babylonians were scru-
pulous in performing tho due tr-!a!
rites.-London Times.

Defects in Eyes.

One Of the marvellous gifts of the
eye is the distinguishing Of colors, and
here most eyes are more or less de-
fective. Many eyes otherwise effec-
tive strangely do not convey to the
brain from the retina by way OF the
optic nerve the reflected rays of light
that make for either of the primary
colors-red, blue and green-not to
speak Of the innumerable intermedi-
ates, all due to the absorption. refec-
ton aad transmission Of rays OF light
OF varying wave :engtns. IL might
be said that we do not see objects at
all, but only the myriad wavelets of
iupliniferous ether that are reflected
from them.

some Anachronisma.

II Is question, parenthetically.
whether it is truly sportsmanlike to
live in quaint old colonial cottage
with furnace and electric lights.
have heard amateurs of the colonial
declare that they would willingly die
before they would live in an electrically
lighted colonial cottage. The anach-
ronism horrifjes them: they would
have death or candles. Probably they
feel the same way about a furnace and
bathroom. Yet have no doubt that
the builders of this colonial cottage
would have opened their hearts to all
these inventions: and am not sure
that they would have regarded as
anything but funny the idea that their
own kitchen paraphernalia would some
day BE used to decorate my dining
room. go further Granting that
electric light, a furnace, and bath.

old colonial cottage-what am l but
an anachronism myself? We must

BIG HOG RAISER'S
GREAT SUCCESS
G. E. Yetley Uses New
Methods With Splendid
Results.

Mr.. G. E. Yetley. Of Vienna township.
makes big claims for some new ideas In
hog raising that he has been trying out
during the past year.
He states that he can now keep his
hogs free from lice and worms at prac-
tically no expense. His pigs grow big
ger on less feed than formerly and he
gets them to market nearly 80 days
earlier than ever before. Besides this,
he tells US that his hogs no longer root
and he has no more trouble with s0ws
eating little pigs or chickens.
Mr.. Yetley gives credit for his In
creased profits and success to the Arm
OF Ketchum & CASTOR Company.
Some time ago Mr.. E. s.
Ketchum induced him to try
out the Hog-Joy System of Successful
Hog Raising. A Hog-Joy Oiling Ma
chine was placed in Mr.. Yetleyis hog
lot on 80 days free trial and he was
presented with can of special Ice
killing oil. Mr.. Yetley states that his
hogs Of all sizes were crazy to rub the
oil into their hair. The lice all dis
not seen one since.
Later on he got 100-pound can Of
Hog-Joy Gro Fast and a Hog JOY Self
new mineral food drove out all the
worms and put his hogs In the best Of
health. His spring pigs were bigger
boned than ever and there wasn't a.
single runt in the lot. He feels sure.
that Gro-Fast saves him three times its,
cost in corn alone, as 1t provides the
hogs with potash, lime. phosphofous
and all other necessary minerals for
health and IA af growth
The Hog-Joy System OF Successful
Hog Raising Is being explained to hog
men In this vicinity by aafr. G. n Rchh.
of the Hog-Joy Experimental Farms.
Ketchum & CASTOR Co. represent Mr..
Robbs concern in Marshautown and
will be glad to furnish any farmer with
Hog-Joy devices on 80 days. approval.
It will pay every farmer to talk with

their offices at 502 South Third avenue,

New York, June 10.-Agents Of Ger
many. it was learned today in reliable
quarters, have taken steps to start
strikes in the big factories that are
supplying arms, ammunitions, and 9TH
er war supplies for the allies.
They have worked out with minute
detail a gigantic plan by which they
hope to prevent the filling Of many OF
Workmen.
While they may not expect to stop
entirely the shipment of the orders
which are variously estimated at be-
tween $500, 600. 600 and perhaps $780,
100000. they are hoping for break
down in the immense business now be-
ing done in this country.
Steps 10 Arouse Discomfort.
This big piece of strategic work was
ordered started after many other
schemes aimed to cut of the war sup
ply business in this country had failed.
Steps have already been taken TO
arouse discomfort among the employees
in such plants as those of the Bethie-

Strike at Bridgeport.
In Bridgeport Conn. it was learned
that the Bridgeport Arms works, sub
sidiarv Of the Remington Arms-Union
Metallic Cartridge Company, has had
strike difficulties within the last two
weeks. Work on twelve new buildings
of the works was held up for almost a
week. On May "a, 300 bricklayers to-
gether With their assistants walked out
after making What were believed to be
unreasonable demands.
The rumor was prevalent1in Bridge
port that the strike was due to Ger
man sy7npathizers. The strike was
ended by the importation of other
workulen from a distance.
Refuse to Sanction Strike.

the National Union of B-icklayers re-

makinu Things Even.

It would be difficult to find region
where the ups and downs Of fortune
have been SO sudden and extreme as
in California. In its early days. be-
fore its production OF grain was equal
to the demand, wages OF farm hands
were high, but as production increased
the prices lowered faster than the rate
of wages. A~farmer employed an in
dustrious Irishman for five years. at
the rate OF fifty dollars month and
fcund"-board. lodging. washing. and
mending. AT the end Of the term he
said to his man: II cant afford to pay
you the wages I have been paying.
You have saved money, and ! have
saved nothing. At this rate you will
soon own my farm" Then I'll hire
you to work for me-" said the other.
"and you can get your farm back
again."
