FOOLS THE cows.

self Look Dangerous.


In this case the jokes on the cow.
She's fooled into the belief that this
little, harmless plant will bite her. The
plant helps with the joke by mas
querading as dangerous weed, with
real teeth. whereas it wouldn't hurt a
dea. This plant is the dead nettle.
One Of its cousins, the stinging net
tie, covers itself with sharp, poisonous
hairs. The COW has learned to avoid
the weed. So the dead nettle makes up
to look like it's cousin. and the COW
leaves it alone
The dead nettle grows in waste
places all over eastern United States
1t isn't as useful as its near relative in
the East Indies and in China, called
ramie. This relative also is harmless
and plays similar jokes on Chinese
cows and other grazing animals.
But ramie furnishes vegetable
fiber which is stronger than hemp, as
fine and shiny as silk. 1t is used in
making cordage and nets, and paper
made from it is used for banknotes.
So when the ramie initiates the sting
ing nettle it is protecting itself from
grazing animals so 1t may grow into
money. y.-Philadelphia North American

DO SOME DEEP THINKING.
Help Your Mind by Going Into a

IF the brown study were more

is in such state that truths dawn sud
denly and clearly upon the unclouded
intelligence 1t is in such Il state that
mighty actions are conceived. poems

"In this state of mind there is such a
concentration of mental energy that
the body is ignored. The mind, Oh the

subject which concerns it, is 50 intent
upon its own affairs. that the external

The Lancet says the relationship be

The wisdom teeth are the two last
molar teeth to grow. They come one
on each side of the jaw and arrive
somewhere between the ages of twenty
and twenty-five years. The name is
given them because it is suppoSd that

has secured these last two teeth he has
also arrived at the age of discretion
It does not necessarily mean that one
who has cut his wisdom teeth is wise.

crow these, WhiCh complete the full
set of teeth, the person has passed SUI
