spectacIes for Cows.

The idea of cows wearing spectacles
seems ridiculous. Nevertheless there
are cows that do wear spectacles. and
they may be seen on the plains or
steppes of Russia, which are covered
with snow more than six months of
the yesr. The cows subsist on the tufts
of grass which crop ssove the snow,
and the rays of the su. on the snow
are so dazzling as to cause blindness.
1t occurred to a kind-hearted man to
protect the cows eyes in the same
way as those of human beings, and he
manufactured smoke-colored specta-
cles which could be worn by cattle.
These { ctacles proved a great sue
cess and are now worn by upward of
10000 head of cattle. The animals no

MUSIC IN THE HOME.

It's Refining and Joyous influences
Should De Welcomed.
So much is done for the children
nowadays. So many different sorts Of
knowledge are crammed into them at
school. They devote themselves to SO
many things unconnected either with
childhood or home life. Meanwhile one
opportunity In possibilities for
happiness-is too often neglected. Mr..
Josef Stransky gives wise counsel in
this matter:
''The way to love music, to increase
Its production, Is to know 1t when you
are young young individually and
young as a nation. 1t Is much more
difficult to prepare people to enjoy mu-
sic after they are grown up and their
minds have become crowded with yari-
GUS interests In life. The American
nation should not let its youth slip by
without filing the souls Of the children
with music.
"As yet the young people here do not
have their minds directed definitely
enough In musical channels. l do not
see groups of children standing about
a piano In the twilight and singing to
mothers accompaniment l do not
see the boys of a neighborhood forming
a small orchestra and playing really
fine music, as they do in France and
Germany"
Mr.. Stransky overstates his. case
somewhat. We know Of New Eng
land farmers family Of six children,
eachs playing different instrument.
who, with father and mother, make a
real little orchestra. And there are a
good many such groups of the sort Mr..
Stransky says he has not seen-young-
sters about their mother at the piano.
But there should be still more-many
more. There cannot be TOO many, for,
as the wise conductor says, music Is
something more than mere entertain
ment. 1t is "a serious and permanent
joy In life to keep the emo
tions stirred, the imagination young. -

PASSING OF THE BUFFALO.
This Tragedy of ths Fur Trade an Ao-
cident of Civilization.


Speaking Of the buffalo, which is now
becoming rare and which might have
been saved for both food and game
purposes, the author of LET Us Go
Afield; Emerson Hough, writes:
"All the high grade, well system
atized butchery in which the beef
trust did not play a part ended only
about twenty years ago. The Indians
refuse to believe that 1t is ended They
pray to their leaders among the white
men to take them north, far away,
where the buffalo have gone Being
told there is no such land, they take 1t
out in praying for hereafter in which
there shall be plenty Of buffalo.
1.-THE destruction of the buffalo was
the tragedy of the fur trade. 1t was
not so much a blunler in commerce as
1t was an accident of civilization The
belt of the machinery of progress got
loose when the railroads came and the
engine raced There was a time of
furry and unpreparedness when our
transportation for the first time ran
ahead of u. 1t was the great plains

there is always some sort of balance
struck between them. Continually we
make war upon the wilderness. it's pee
pie, its creatures; yet, having done so,
we covet again the wilderness, yearn
for'it, depend upon it and ape it even
in our clothing. We may abolish the
wilderness from the earth and from
the map, but we cannot abolish Ii
from our blood. 1t is therefore mat

Napoleon, the rough and ruthless con
Queror, considered women as of no Inn
portance In national affairs. and be
was always resentful Of their interfer
ence. But In at least one instance Of
record. as q recent writer has pointed
out, it was otherwise.
When, after the battle Of Jena, Napo
leon entered Weimar he proceeded te
the palace Of the duke to make It his
headquarters The fighting and plum
dering in the town were not yet oyel
when. toward evening, he entered tht
hall. As he did SO the duchess, who
had been waiting In her apartment
appeared at the top of the great stair
case to greet him.
'sWho are your" he demanded rough

II am the Duchess of Weimar." sh'
replied, with dignity.

The next morning when they met
again he inquired, with brusque dis
pleasure:

"Your majesty would have despised

"How so?" asked Napoleon.

OF the king Of Prussia upward Of thir'

it was not at the mernent that the king
had 50 mighty an enemy as your
majesty to contend against that the
duke could abandon him."
An answer at once so spirited, noble
and tactful softened even Napoleon's
arrogance. In, the conversation that
followed the duchess was able to secure
promises of consideration for the duke
and relief for the townspeople. At the
close Of 1t the conqueror said to her

SLIDING TO DEATH.


a Perilous Mountain Incident and q
Lucky Escape.
An American who lives in China
made the ascent of the sacred noun
tain, Siaooutaishan, year or two
since, and made, or at least began to
make, the descent in much more un-
premeditated manner
He had reached an altitude OF over
1900 feet and. having lost the trail,
hrnnched off and climbed lower peak
70 see whether he could discover the
right track. He managed to crawl to
the top. and since the view was very
fine he opened his paint box to make a
sketch.
AS he was sorting his brushes the
stone on which he was sitting gave
way, and he started sliding down the
almost perpendicular slope He tried
to clutch the ground with his hands
He seized every projecting stone In
the hope Of stopping his precipitous de
scent. but at the speed at. which he
was going that was no easy matter.
Death stared him In the face, for
another 100 yards would bring him to
the edge Of precipice several hun
dred feet high, over which he must In.
evitably go. His hair stood on end as
he approached the spot, and he can
well remember the sound of his heavy
paint box changing from rock to rock
as it accompanied him in his descent.
A violent shock. which nearly tore
his body in two made him think he
had gone over; but. no-he had sudden
ly stopped.
He opened his eyes, but he did not
dare move, for his position. although
much improved, was far from safe.
His coat and strong leather strap that
was slung under his arm had caught
on a projecting stone, but single false
movement on his part would start him
sliding down the slope again
Slowly, carefully, as he lay on the
almost perpendicular slope, he tried
to get a footing. When he had sue
ceeded in doing that the great diffi-
Guilty was to turn round. After several
anxious moments, each Of which seem
ed ages long, he succeeded, and there
he was, half kneeling, half lying. with
his body on the ground. elutching the
rock that saved him.
Then, when his agitation passed
away. he managed to crawl up, cat
fashion, to a position Of safety.

suaar Reets Eor Dairy coMs.

Sugar beets and mangels tend to in
crease milk projection when fed to
dairy cows, but experiments conducted
at the Ohio experiment station show
that corn silage is far more economical
to feed. Because Of this fact these
dairy experts do not advise the feeding
Of beets except for high records where
cost is a minor consideration or where
the number of cows is too small to per-
nit the use of silo.
Cows fed beets had keen appetites
and ate more food because of the stim-
ulating effects of this root crop. After
ten years work the Ohio station has
found that two pounds of dry matter
can be produced in the form of silage
at less cost than one pound in the form
