Tatooina Horses Ears.

As a means of Identifying horses
and other animals, many breeders tat
too a number on the inside of the ear
Of each animal In their studs, flocks or
herds. this number serving as an in
dex to the record of its pedigree. Fig.
ures which are to identify the animal
are put In the slotted jaw of a punch
made for the purpose. and after the
jaws of the punch have been closed
down on the ear india ink is rubbed
into the punctures. When the skin
heals over this ink the animal Is
marked for life.
With some kinds Of horses, such as
Percherons and Suffolks, which often
are all of one color, without distin-
gushing white marks. some such sys.
tenn of marking Is essential to keep &C.
curate records for registration. Ap-
piled to race horses and trOtters, II
prevents the substitution Of one horse
for another, or ringing" as 1t 10
called, and makes 1t possible to iden-
tify animals with certainty wherever
they are found.-New York Herald.

made Of narrow straps Of linen, to
hold the pen and pencil. The blotters

Why Thunder Rumbles.

Thunder Is the sound made by the
lightning, which in turn, is a mOmen-
tary electric current through the air.
The air In the path Of this current Is
heated very quickly. expands and hits
the surrounding air. This cause q
sound wave to travel outward from all
parts Of this path. Sound goes at the
rate Of 1000 feet per second in air,
being more than this In heated air.
The rumble Is made by only one flash.
But as this has a path all Of whose
points are not the same distance from
the observer, the sound made at the
more distant points gets in a little
later than that made at those nearby.
All thunder has some rumble, for the
path could not be the same distance
at all points unless 1t were circular,
with the observer in the center Of the
air.

DISTINCTIVE SEPARATE SKIRTS.

Two things, above all others, are re-
skirt. When 1t Is made in plain. famil-
lar materials It must be rescued from
the commonplace by faultless fit and
workmanship. When made Of novelty
weaves the selection Of unusual and
appropriate patterns reflects the best
talent Or modistes. 1t takes an instinct
for dress or an educated taste to make
the most of the separate skirt.
Beautiful color combinations, In
broad and narrow stripes, and original
methods In making are found in the
new separate skirts for afternoon
wear. Some very handsome plalds are
among them but stripes afford better
opportunities for the designer. A fine
example of what may be done with
them appears In the picture above.

There Is a wide range Of color COM
b!nations to choose from In the striped

the shops and they promise an In
creased vogue for handsome separate
skirts. Blouses to be worn with these
skirts, are most effective when made
of the same shade as one of the colors
in the material. For informal dress
such a costume merits consideration

Stand by the Faith.

What We Are Here For.

We are not put here just to enjoy
ourselves and do only what pleases us
God wants us to forget our own selves
that is, not to think first and foremost
of ourselves, but to be busy thinking
what we a do for others, to help
them, or to make them happy. And the
Bible tells us, you know, that "Christ
pleased not himself" He never thought
what would make him happiest or most
comfortable, but what he could do for
someone else.-Kate 8. Gates.

curious report to the department of
commerce from Consul Dumont, Flor.
ence, Italy. Almost a century ago
Francois de Larderel, a Frenchman,
visited this region and made an analy-
sis Of this steam, and he discovered
that 1t was heavily charged with
boracic acid. Beginning at the Pog-
gfo Casa la Sierra, extending south over
the summit and down the valley of the
River Cornia, he found numerous fs-
sures from which steam arose. Sc
lecting the largest of these, at what is
now the town Of L%arderello, about ff.
teen miles due south Of volterra, he
established q plant for the extraction
of what is now a most successful in
dustry.
