DRAGONS.

The mytheology of dragons is im- mensely mixed The one thing cer- tain seems to be that of the many writers who describe them, not one ever saw them. Many of the descrip- tions come nearer to winged croco- dile than anything else, and the con- lecture that the dragon idea was de- veloped from some tradition of an ex- tinct saurian seems probable enough, says London Chronicle. In the highly imaginative gypsy lore of southeast ern Europe, the "drakos' becomes the ogre of the nursery; he takes human wife, hunts, is an expert in horsefesh, and lives, of course, in a palace. An drew Lang pointed out that the mod ern Greek story of the last drakos' IS the same as that told in Scotland of "th .last Pict."

ALCOHOL BRIEFLY
 VIEWED FROM A MODERN STANDPOINT

 and Nervous Diseases
 These physiological effects of alco- hol are more or less observable ac- cording to the quantity administered and the length of intervals between doses
 We also find by clinical and miscro scopic observation that by the con stant but moderate use of alcohol a hardening of the walls of the blood vessels, which is soon followed by a thickenmg, due to an increase of fberous tissue, which leads to a lack of normal elasticity and contractility then have a delay in the blood cur rent and finally stagnation or stasls of the circulation. This condi ton may occur in any part of tn body or in any of the organs, and is known to physicians as fibrous or fatty degeneration.

 These pathological conditions, ac cording to microscopic investigation, are brought about by no other cause old age excepted, than alcoholic drink ing
 It is a true saying that "a man is no older, no younger, and no stronger than his blood vessels"
 We have n most deplorable condition of the vessels, the cells, and walls of .ne stomach in persons addicted to the moderate use of alcohol, giving rise to the many and varied symp- toms of dyspepsia, such as slowing
 
 process of digestion by the destruc tive efforts of alcohol on the pepsin of the gastric juice. It is claimed that onco grain of alcohol is capable of de- stroying 800 grains of pepsin.
 One of the we'll known character istics of alcohol is it's power to extract water from any object with which it comes In contact, hence its deleterious effect on the blood corpuscles, which contain 79 per cent of water, also the gastric juice, which contains 97 per cent of water(, the pancreatic juice which contains so per cent water, the saliva, which contains go per cent water, bile, S7 per cent water muscle, 75 per cent water, brain, 80 per cent water, etc. It extracts the moisture from the 5,Oo0.ooo little cells that sup ply the gastric juice to the stomach, and destroys the protoplasm of the epithelia1 cells of the lining of the stomach, and in so doing the func- tiLns Of this important organ of di- gcstion arc almost obliterated.

UNLIKE THE MODERN METHOD
Egyptian Remedies for Skin Disease
Differed Widely From Those at
Present In Use.

The contrast between the very an
cient and the very modern methods of
treating skin diseases is we'll illustrat-
ed in the medical writings Of the an
cient Egyptians. The most modern
method of treating these Affections Is
by serums. A favorite prescription OF
the Egyptian doctors was the follow
ing: "Take the toes Of a dog, ripe
dates and asses hoofs in equal parts.
Boil these carefully in pan of oil.
This is an excellent remedy for skin
eruptions and to make hair grow"
In these ancient writings we find the
first authentic record of the use of
goose grease in therapeutics, and ap-
parently this remedy has never lost
its popularity. AS used by the Egyp-
tians, however, goose grease was only
one of several ingredients useful in
treating certain skin diseases, particu-
larly badness. In this recipe five
other fats were used in equal parts,
mus, crocodile, snake and ibex. This
remedy was to be used for period OF
not more than four days. But it ap-
pears that skin diseases continued
prevalent in ancient Egypt, just as
they prevail there at the present time.

to the dairyman's advantage to belong
to this class. The proposition con-
fronting the dairy1nan today is not
primarily matter Of location, soil
or climate; it is he, himself, that
stands in the way Of his own progress.
Few people realize what intelligence,
care and study, what patience, obser-
vation and experience are needed to
make a good dairyman, to interpret
to the mind the language Of the COW
in such a manner as to understand
her every need and be able to properly
supply it. The inherent and fatal
weakness of many people is that they
wholly ignore the really important
and decisive factor of success in all
fields of human activity, viz, trained
and intelligent judgment, based on
sound theory and practice. The cause
and cure for the backwardness of the
dairyman is in his mind, and in the
solution of his problems chief promi-
:nence must be given to the human fac
tor. The trouble with many dairymen
is that they think they know, which is
the worst possible kind of ignorance.

know that we are ignorant" Our

SECURE THE cLEANEsT MILK
Barns Should Be Kept UnpoIIuted and
Yards Free From Manure and
Litter of All Kinds.

These rules are given for the clean
est milk obtainable with only little
more than ordinary care: Barns should
be kept clean and well ventilated, the
yards free from manure and litter and
drained so that no water will stand
there. Before milking, the COWS
should be brushed around the flanks
and udder with stiff brush; this
should be followed with damp cloth
which will remove many Of the dust
particles and so dampen the others
that they will stick to the cow during
the process of milking. The mixer
should keep his hands dry during the
milking. Milking with damp hands
is filthy process and is apt to cause
the teats of a COW to chafe and be-
come source of annoyance. The milk
should be removed from the barn or
milking pen to milk house just as
soon as possible after it is drawn. The
milk should be separated and the
cream cooled as soon as possible after
milking.

Work and Poverty.

If the time ever comes when there
is no longer poverty in the world
there will be wonderful freedom
for the higher qualities of the human
race. Men will then work, not be-
cause they are driven by the competi-
tive spirit, but from higher impulse,
love of work itself.
The chances are that if man like
Dickens had been free to work in
this way he would have done not more
work, perhaps even less, but work of
finer and higher polish. For Dickens,
as an artist, suffered till the end from
poverty. If he had had more advan-
tages in early youth his talents would
have been better trained. He would
have had more taste and more bal
ance. He would have striven less for
popular and transient effect than for
the truth, for what was permanent
and of universal appeal.

MAKES GOOD FLY REPELLkNT
Mixture of Rancid Lard and Kerosene
Will Afford Protection-Fish Oil
Is Also Used.

Three excellent fly repellants for use
on the dairy COW are made as fol-
lows:
Rancid lard, one pound and kero-
sene one-half pint, mixed into creamy
mass and rubbed not too thickly with
hand or cloth over the backs of COWS,
will give protection for several days.
Three parts fish oil and one OF kero-
sene applied with small spray pump
will do the same. :,
Fish oil 100 parts, oil of tar 80 parts
and crude carbolic acid 1 part, ap-
piled with a spray pump is good ny

All are inexpensive and are recon-
mended by the United States depart

CONTROL OVER LOCAL ROADS
State Highway Departments Should
Be Given Some Measure OF Super
vision Over Thoroughfares.

The realization has become quite
general that, in order to render maxi
mum service, state highway depart
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance of local roads. For this
class of roads an amount exceeding
s16O, 100000 is expended annually, with
comparatively little result to show IN
the form of improved road mileage for
this great outlay. The state of Iowa
has met this situation by placing all
the road work IN the state under the
direction of the state highway de-
partment.
Traffic is increasing so rapidly as to
cause excessive wear upon the roads,
especially in the vicinity of congested
centers of population. This results IN
a heavy annual maintenance cost, aV-
eraging in the large eastern states not
less than $3.50 per mile per annum.
Many experiments have been made IN
the effort to devise types Of road
which can be maintained at relatively
low cost. Thus far, aside from the
cheaper forms of construction, the
states are depending upon the vari'
GUS forms of bituminous macadam'
concrete, and vitrified brick road

Substitute for Poker Chips.

The use of small, round oyster
crackers is advisable as a substitute
for poker chips, as they are easily de-
voured and the crime hidden, should
the police raid the place. Cards alone
are no indication that poker dorni-
mates therein. 1t requires chips to
furnish that evidence. If banker is
or to his job, he will spread lightly a
coating of tempting cheese upon the
crackers as he issues them. This
practice will, in great measure, re-
lieve him IF the responsibility OF cash

valued traditions while giving sane
ton to the established use of ROADS
that have been t.aversed century or
more, says Baltimore American. There
is a strong movement the country
over for the honoring Of the old roads
and trails. This is manifest IN the
movement that contemplates memo
rial highway to Abraham Lincoln. Tne
Old National Turnpike has clustering
about it traditions Of history that
have been transformed into literary
lore under the magic pens OF essay
lists and poets. In the far West agl-
tation for the preservation Of the old
trails is gaining in strength, and the
Old Oregon, and the Old Whiskey and
other historic trails that date back to
times immemorial will doubtless be
preserved as far as possible and,
where obliterated by the path OF prog
ress, will be marked. Thus the trails
followed by the red men from Canada
even down to Central America will IN
time be made matters Of record ana
reverence.
While sentimental and practical
considerations may not always be eDn-
braced in the conclusions Of the good
roads commission, yet these should
be and doubtless are considered to-
gether in SO far as the commission ha$
enlightenment and understands thls
sentiment of the communities af-
fected. But the main proposition is
that the people Of Maryland are unit
for the continuance Of the good roads
movement. Baltimore has been great
ly advantaged by the construction OF
paved streets from the country line,
over roads that enter the city. 1t
has deep interest in the prosecution
of the good roads work for the bene-
fit of the agricultural communities OF
the entire state. The traffic and trans"
portation advantages are immense
while the state is thereby elevated IN
the view of the country at large. Let
the good roads work go on.
