QUEEN BY RIGHT OF MIGHT
Ruler of Cows in Rhone Valley, Swift
zerand, Must Prove Her Right
to the Throne.

In the Rhone valley, Switzerland,
an extraordinary ceremony is carried
out every summer. This is the
choosing of queen COW by the cows
themselves. A large number OF
COWS are assembled in field to
choose their queen. The queen COW
is the one which is strong enough to
fight all the other COWS off the pas
ture and remain in possession Of it
herself. The owners of the COWS are
not allowed to encourage their beasts
in any way.
The honor of owning a queen COW
is keenly coveted by the local herd
men, and they do everything they
can in order to turn their animal out
a-0inner. In their eagerness to
bring their beasts fit and well on the
day of battle, many of the herdsmen
feed on bread and wine. The COWS
descend from a fighting race, and
are always eager to have a scrap.
The election" of the queen COW
often lasts the greater part Of the
day, and is watched by crowds, who
come to the scene from miles around.

ing hogs from Philadelphia. Some
of them were pure white and others
white, with black spots. They were
represented to the Shakers as of pure
Chinese blood and were called Big
Chinas. The descendants of these
hogs were widely distributed in War
rem and Butler counties and were
known by different names, among
others as Poland-Chinas, because it
was said they had been crossed with
a Poland breed. They were also
called Magees, In 1872 commit

There is a woman in Irvington

not her dog, nor yet the junk mans,
which makes the case sadder than

be spent in seeking for buried treas

buried in the most unlikely places,
that is where he digs. Nobody but
pirate or dog would look for
treasure very far below the surface
of an onion bed, for instance, but the

EASY QUESTION TO DECIDE
no Ore Need Long Hesitate to Decide
Between What is Right and
What Is Wrong.

There is one great trouble among
men, and that is because they have
OF clear conceptions of what is
right and what is wrong. They go
through life with their thoughts all
confused upon this subject, and very
often take the wrong, side almost as
natural result. But everybody
should have clear idea of what is
right and wrong, for if they do and
make use of the knowledge their
lives will be happier and society ex-
allied A few questions will make
plain the rightness or wrongness of
a matter in question:: On which
side of this issue is reverence, hon
esty, purity, unselfshness, candor?
If these do not figure on a side of an
issue, you may be-sure it is the wrong
side If there is an omission of any,
one of these qualities it is the wrong
side
Judgment in these matters Of ev-
eryday life, upon which a person
wants to be right, can easily be
reached by interposing these ques-
tons Suppose upon the common
experience of voting there may be
some doubt; just ask these questions
concerning the candidate and you
Will find it is a very easy matter to
be on the right side Does the can
didate suggest reverence, honesty,
purity, unselfshness, candor? If
not, he is on the wrong side; it
makes no difference what party
badge he may wear. If you want to
be right you will vote against him.
The same rule will apply in all the
concerns of life.-Ohio State Jour
nal,

cHILEANs FAVOR AMERICANS.

The young Chilean is rapidly alb
sorbing American ideas of business
and, politics. The Union club, the
most exclusive in Santiago, grants
temporary membership to foreigners.
The majority of these temporary
members are Americans, for the
English and Germans have their own
clubs. Everywhere the American
and Chilean are meeting with in
creased goodfellowship. Last year
two young American engineers rep
resenting a great copper company
gave Washington's birthday dinner
in Santiago, and all of the guests
we're Chileans. One of the Ameri-
cans got into an argument with a
Chilean over some point in revolu-
tionary history. He found that the
Chilean knew more about it than
he did himself. For Washington
and Lincoln are embodiments of ma
tional ideals to the Chileans no less
than to ourselves. There is scarcely
town in Chile that has not its
''calle Washington," and there are
many statues of Washington in the
larger cities.

COULD STAMP OUT LEPR0SY
Investigator of Opinion That Disease
Might Be Eliminated From ia
pan at Small Cost.

Japan has done much to fight the
ravages of leprosy, but plans to do
much more in the way of furnishing
hospitals for lepers. Leprosy for a
long time has been considered hered-
itary by the japanese, leading often
to the rupture of marriage engage
ments, to divorces, and also to the
complete disappearance from society
of the afflicted man or woman. Doc
tor Koda, who is conducting an in
vestigation declares that of 942 pa
tients examined by him, only 255,
or ~ per cent, have fellow sufferers
in their own family. He believes
that the disease is not hereditary in
the sense that insanity is hereditary.
It cannot, he says, skip generation
and appear in the grandchildren.
He considers the stunning and iso-
lation of leprous families unneces-
sary. Only the individual patients
must be segregated, he believes. In
Japan there are 23,800 lepers regis
tered, but the families involved ag-
gregate 100000 persons. About l.
600 persons are now segregated.
Doctor Koda declares it would cost
only the price of a new battleship to
inaugurate a thorough isolation pol
icy, and thinks that in this way the
disease could be stamped out, at
least as a family curse, within TWEEN
tV wears.
