KING LEWANIKA'S STATE BOAT
Royal Craft Is 100 Feet Long, Carries
Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester mad Musicians.

'While travelling in Rhodesia,"
writes q contributor in the Wide World
Magazine, 81 managed to get glimpse
of King Lewanika's state barge. The
chief of the BarotSe is fine fellow,
but | was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for a row attired
I'm a top hat and a gaudy dressing
gown.
"Soon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,
an enormous craft about 100 feet long.
In the center are two compartments,
both covered in, one being the living
room and the other the sleeping quar-
tiers. On the roof of one of these com
partments is erected a monster ele-
phant, as a sort of kingly emblem
while on the other stands the court
Jester, who, on this occasion, amused
the pOpulace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant. A band of 20
musicians were accommodated on the
barge, in addition to whom there were
so or 60 paddlers and host of bailers
for the barge was by no means water
tight To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbaric song the huge craft
was propelled along on its journey, the
return voyage taking place four or five
months later"

Time to FIGHT Mice.

The time to fight mice is when your
house is still rid of them. First make
q hard and fast rule that not crumb
of food is left exposed in kitchen,
pantry or cupboard. See also that in
the bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where a
mouse might get them and thus find
encouragement TO take up his perma-
nent abode there.
The next thing TO do is TO cut off the
means of entrance to your home, and
this is done by seeing that there are
no loose passageways into the cellar
or open cavities in the wall or loose
woodwork AS a final resource you
will perhaps have to choose between
a mouse trap and a cat. 1t all de-
ponds on your affinity for the feline
pet which you will do. But remember
that, whereas permitting mice TO lodge
i'm your house was formerly only an
act of slothful neglect, it is now one
of the crimes of wastefulness, OF
which no patriotic woman should be

LLAMAS MUST BE HUNDRED
Will Not Endure Force or Threats
When Being Loaded They Are
Caressed by Drivers.

The South American llama will bear
neither beating nor ill-treatment. The
animals go in troops, an Indian walk
ing a long distance ahead. If the
llamaS are tired they STOP and the
Indian stops also. If the delay be
too great the Indian, becoming I'M
easy toward sunset, after all due pre-
caution. resolves on supplicating the
beasts to resume their journey. He
stands about so or 60 PAGES off, in an
attitude of humility, waving his hand
coaxingly toward them, looks at them
with tenderness, and at the same
time, in the sOftest tones, reiterates,
&c, ic, ic" If the llamas are disposed
to resume their course they follow the
Indian in good order and at a regular
pace, but step fast, for their legs are
long but, when they are in i'll humor,
they do not even turn toward the
speaker, but remain mOtionlesS, hud-
died together standing or lying down.
The straight neck and the gentle ma
jesty of bearing, the long down of their
always clean and glossy skin, their
supple and timid motion, all give them
an air at once sensitive and noble.
If it happens-which is very seldom
the case-that an Indian wishes to OBJ
tain, either by force or even by threats,
what the llama will not willingly per-
form, the instant the animal finds it
self affronted by words or gesture it
raises its head with dignity and, with
out making any attempt to escape i'll
treatment by fight, lies down.
The respect shown these animals by
Peruvian Indians amounts almost to
superstitious reverence. When the
Indians load them two approach and
caress the animal, hiding its head that
1t may not see the load on it's back. 1t
is the same in unloading.

Farming Without Hands.

London nit Bits tells this story. Jean
Ledrans, French peasant, was mo-
bilized at the outbreak of war in the
artillery. Being known as an expert
grenadier. he was chosen to train re-
cruits in bombing. While giving in
struction, a grenade he held burst,
killed six men, and wounded Ledrans
in five places. He lost his right eve
and both his hands were blown off.
Immediately after his recovery, the
peasant girl to whom he had been en-
gagged married him, and he settled on
his father-in-law's farm. This brave
son of France, who lost his hands a
little over a year ago, is now able to
write perfectly well. to drive horse
and cart. drive pillow. hoe and dig in
the fields, and harness and unharness
horse. All the appliances which he
uses on both stumps of his forearmS
have been devised by himself.

Milk for Babies.

Jersey and Guernsey cows give rich
fat-produeing milk, and for that reason
their milk has been regarded as too
rich for infants. Il is still true that
the milk of the Ayrshire and the Hol-
stein is better suited to infants than
the Jersey and Guernsey milk, but the
cause is not the fat, as has been
thought. The fact is that the casein
of the Ayrshire and Holstein milk is
decidedly more fiocculated and not so
readily curdled in the stomach, SO that
it is the most easily digested by chill
dren.
