Ready For Him.

The landlady noticed with unfeigned
dismay that her new lodger's fire con-
sumed more coal than she had been
accustomed to provide for it. She
mentioned II.
"Oh, yes!' explained the ingenious
young man. You see, | always place
the Jumps of coal upon the fire in such
a way that the grain OF the coal is per-
pendicular-that, is running up and
down, you understand. 1t makes much
better fire. Nothing like a little sci
ence, you know"
The unimpressed female who con-
tracted for the supply OF daily neces-
saries spoke In q hard voice that al
most stopped the lodger's watch:

ALASKA'S LONG SPUR.


The Aleutian Islands Chain Over .
Thousand Miles In Length.
Few persons are aware that the
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan is by way Of Alaska. Nearly
a thousand miles are saved to vessels
trading with the orient by coasting
along the Aleutian islands rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian islands, more than 150
In number, which extend in a chain
east and west for more than a thou
sand miles, are inhabited by the rem
nant of the Aleuts. Their war Of the
revolution closed just as the Ameri-
can Revolutionary war began. So pa
triouc were the Aleuts, so brave In
their struggle for independence, that
they succumbed to the Russians only
after conflict Of nearly fifty years.
and then simply because the race was
almost exterminated In the struggle.
While the Aleutian islands must
eventually form an important link In
the commerce between the United
States and the orient, other islands
link our country with the vast empire
to the north. In the narrow Bering
strait lie two little islands, one occu-
pied by Russia, the other by the Unit
ed States, so that citizens Of the two
great nations live on respective islands
within q few miles Of each other.

STORES IN BURMA.

You Try Hard Enough.

You Try Hard Enough.
You may walk through the muddy
old markets OF Rangoon for hours at a
time or through the bazaar at Manda-
lay without any of the salespeople TAX
ing the slightest notice of you as a
possible purchaser of their wares. The
dear little ladies sit crosslegged upon
boards containing their goods. They
are placidly smoking or chatting or
painting their faces or braiding their
hair. They are not attending to busi-
ness in the least.
1t requires great effort to get a
Burmese shopwoman (they are nearly
all women to show you her silks, and
when at last she has spread her mer-
chandise broadcast upon the table and
you are reveling in the illusion that
you are living in the middle Of rain
bow, with n chance of holding fast to
some Of its colors, she will ask her
price, which is seldom more than
rupee too much, and will stick to it
like glue.
She is an indolent lady in many ways,
who loves a quiet life, and she has de-
termined that her most comfortable
course is not to haggle In the market
place. SO you may make up your mind
that bargaining and persuasion are use
less arts to practice in Burma, however
valuable they may be elsewhere.-Lon-

ONLY THE CATTLE TICK
TRANSMITS TEXAS FEVER
Ticks Found On Dogs. Rabbits, Etc,

Texas Fever ls Concerned.

Ticks Found On Dogs. Rabbits, Etc,
Are, Harmless To Cattle SO Far ~
Texas Fever Is Concerned.
Many people, 1t seems, still believe
that the methods employed In tick
eradication work cannot prove sue
cessful for the reason that small ami
mails, such as rabbits, etc. which CO..
ry ticks, cannot be treated for these
parasites.
Such reasoning would be entirely
logical provided all ticks found on all
animals were the same kind Of ticks
True. to the casual observer, all ticks
have striking similarity in appear
ance: but, as a matter of fact. there
are quite number of different var,e-
ties Of ticks, each one being peculiar
to certain animals, but do not develop
on others. But so far as Texas fever
Is concerned, there.is only one variety
Of tick in North America that viii
transmit the germ Of this fever, and
that is the common cattle tick, which
develops only on cattle, horses and
mules. The other ticks which are
found on dogs, rabbits, and other ami.
mails, while they all belong to the
tick family, do not affect cattle 70
any extent, and have no connection
whatever with Texas fever; nor are
they considered at all In the cam.
paign OF tick eradication.
The confusion, or misconception.
with regard to the possibility Of tick
eradication. seems to have arisen from
the idea, therefore, that all ticks seen
on all kinds Of animals, are one and
the same kind Of ticks, which. fortu-
nately, Is not the case II it were
40. complete tick eradication, would,
indeed, be a hopeless undertaking.
II should be understood, therefore.
mat the common cattle tick seen On
cattle, and which natures only on
cattle, horses and mules. IL the only
variety that transmits the germ Of the
fever, and the only tick that the au-
thorities are endeavoring to extermk
nate; the others being harmless 70
cattle, so far as tick fever is concern
ed. And a seasons regular dipping,
at intervals of IA days. should, in most
cnses. eradicate this tick entirely
from parish or section.
Let us get busy this spring and see
how many parishes We can clean ND
by the end Of the coming season, AZ
delay only adds to the cost Of the
work.

Duration Of Human Life.

The average duration of human
life is about thirty three years.
One quarter of the people of the
earth die before the aye of six;
one-half before the age of sixteen,
and only one OF every 100 lives to
the age of sixty-fve. The average
age, however, is slowly increasing,
probably owing to better sanitary
conditions, and greater medical
skill.

Save Your Bottles.
Shortage of Cans and Jars Threat

and Fruit Juices in Bottles

The home canning specialists of
the United States Department of
Agriculture urge every house.
keeper to save bottles - especially
wide-necked ones for putting up
fruits, preserves, jellies, jams, and
fruit juices. Saving of bottles is
highly important, they say, as
there threatens to be q serious
shortage of regular jars and pre-
serving cans this season.
The fruit products named, if
sealed with corks and paraffin, can
be kept perfectly in these make
shift containers. Jellies, jams,
and preserves can be kept even in
ordinary drinking glasses. by the
use of paper and parafin. Fruit
juices should be packed in ordina-
ry small-necked bottles.
Vegetables, soups, and meats, on
the other hand, to keep must be
sealed by the usual fruit-jar or
tin-can packing methods. Reserve

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There 10 only ono way to cure catarrhal
deafness. and that il by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness IL caused
by an inflaned condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube il inflamsd you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Ut deaf
ness are caused by catarrh. which il an
iDflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces Of thu
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured BY Halls Catarrh Cure.
