who has spent q little time in Basrah,

Animals In Fro.

Most animals ere afraid Of fire and
will fee from it in terror To others
there is fascination about flame,
and they will walk into it even though
tortured by the heat.
A horse In burning stable goes mad
with fear, but dog is as cool in a
fire as at any time. He keeps his nose
down to the floor, where the air Is pur-
est, and sets himself calmly to finding
his way out. Cats In fire cry piteous-
ly. They hide their faces from the
light and crouch in corners. When
their rescuer lifts them they are, as a
rule. quite docile and subdued, never
biting or scratching.
Birds seem to be hypnotized by fire
and keep perfectly still. Even the To-
quacious parrot In a fire has nothing to
say. Cows, like dogs, do not show
alarm. They are easy to lead forth
and often find their way out them

in feeding cottonseed meal is to give
one-fourth to one-third pound at each
meal.
Where oats are a\major farm crop
and only enough CORN is produced for
silos, oats may be used alone as a
grain feed.
A horse at farm workl requires from
one and one-fourth to ONE and one-half
pounds Of grain per 100 pounds live
weight daily. Feed grain sufficient to
keep the horse in good working condi-

one-half on days when the horse is idle
to avoid azoturia.

Antiquity Of the Bracelet.

Few wearcrs Of bracelets know that
they were once used to distinguish the
insane. Before lunatics We're confined
to asylums they wore an armlet for
distinction. Bracelets for the arms
and anklets for the legs-so frequently
mentioned as ornaments In the Bible
are still commonly worn by eastern
married women Of all ranks. They
were looked upon as a capital means of
investing money, as they could not be

Holy Lands.

The Holy Land is term used, espe
cially by Christians, to designate Pal.
estine as being the scene of the birth,
ministry and death of Christ, but also
employed by other religious sects to
describe the places sacred to them
from association. Thus the Moham-
medans speak Of Mecca as the Holy
Land, it being the birthplace Of Mo-
manned. The Chinese Buddhists call
India the Holy Land because the
founder Of their religion was born
there, while the Greeks bestow this
same title on Ellis, where was situated
the temple Of Olympian Zeus.
