Women With Mustaches.

The Anus, aboriginal race of Ella
pan, live in the island of Yeddo, al
though the race has become so reduced
that there are now not more than
10000 or 1900 Of them left In the
country. The most noticeable peculiar.
ity about Ainu women Is that they
have tattooed upon their upper and
lower lips what resembles a mustache.
The women are lot considered attrac-
tive, and their matrimonial prospects
are quite injured without this decora-
ton. The mustache is begun when the
girl is quite a child. 1t is done grad
uallg, a little each year, until it ex-
tends partly across the cheek. the ma
terial used being the SCOT from burning
birch bark. The face is cut and the
black rubbed in. Afterward il is
washed in a solution of ash bark liquor
to fix the color.

Dressing Wounds With Sugar.

DR.. G. Magnus reports to the Thera-
peutische Monatshefte Of Berlin on his
success in treating wounds with ordi-
nary sugar. This he sprinhles in a
thick layer owe a wound that has
previously been washed and dried. He
overs it with a dry dressing, which
he renews every day.
The Journal of the American-Medical
Association says a great advantage Of
this dressing is that 1t does not stick
to the wound. but stimulates a power
full secretion, which fushes out the
depths Of the wound, while profuse
sup%puration softens crusts and n~ecrotic
tissue and gives a chance for healthy
granulation below. When this stage Is
reached salves or transportation take
the place Of the sugar.

How England cIoaksd the Building u
New Type Of Cruiser.

New Type Of Cruiser.
In Europe extraordinary precautions
are taken by all the great powers to
mask their military plans, and con-
slant efforts are made to ferret out the
military designs Of opposing govern
ments. Admiral William S. Sims OF
the United States navy threw an inter
esting sidelight on this phase of pre-
paredness when testifying before the
house committee.
ITO show the extreme importance OF
this matter of a new type said Ad-
miral Sims, when Great Britain first
built these vessels (swift and powerful
battle cruisers) extraordinary precau-
lions were taken to prevent her posi-
BILE enemes learning their characters
tics. Great Britain had a number Of
armored cruisers, and Germany had a
number of them. Great Britain knew:
that IL she could build u number of
these battle cruisers that had battle
ship guns and twenty-eight knot speed
in other words, more speed than any
other cruisers In the world and guns
stronger than those of any other cruis-
ers--she would thus be away ahead for
a long time.
"She laid down three of those YES
sells. In the estimates they We're called
armored cruisers, and everybody in the
world supposed that simply three more
armored cruisers would come out, With
ordinary guns, which are o. inch, etc.
They were going to mount on these
vessels eight ~twelve-inch guns apiece.
and they were going to give them a
higher speed.
You al conceal the speed, of course,
while the vessel is building, but ii was
wholly impossible to conceal the fact
that they were building tw~enty-four
twelye-inch guns that could not other
wise be accounted for. Great Britain
did not want other nations to know
that these were going TO be carried 10y
these three cruisers. SO they induced
Turkey TO sign a contract for those
guns. and a certain foreign attache in
London paid not less than fl4.000, or
$4,000, to officials of the companies to
get to look at their books and ssure
himself that the guns were being built
for Turkey. OF course they pestered
Turkey to find out what she wanted
with t~wenty-four twelve inch guns, but
in the meantime the vessels were com
pleted and the guns mounted before
foreign nations knew that a radically
new type Of vessel was in existence.
The British wanted to get that type
out because in any conflict with an.
other navy that did not have similar
vessels the British would have a great
advantage. Their scouting power was
so great aud their powers OF destruc-
ton so great that anything except a
b~attleship was practically helpless be-
fore them."-Spokane Spokesman Re

GIVE THE CHILD A TREE.
~ Possible, Let Him Plant One and
Own 1t All Himself.


Every child should OWL a tree. A
tree is a symbol of life. 1t lives. 1t
stands for everything that Is noble. 1t
is rooted in the soil and stretches itself
toward heaven. 1t stands for patience,
humility. persistence, beauty, courage
and God.
The child should plant the tree him
self and thereafter watch 1t grow year
by year. He should put his hands on
its rough bark and say: This Is my
tree. | will stand by 1t and live up to It"
1t is curious how blind we sometimes
are to certain ideals because we can
not see and handle them. We need
something to connect us with the invis-
ible but none the less potent and form.
alive world of aspiration and inspira-
ton. What could be better than u tree?
There is something about the silent
beauty or a tree than casts over us a
spell of calmness and in~vincibility. The
storms of life may sway us and break
our branches; the grim and melancholy
autumn may strip us of our brilliance,
but the spring will come once more
and clothe us in a new glory. SO we
go on fulfilling the majesty of the law.
If your child owns a tree the memory
If its beneticent influence will cling to
him through life. Country Gentleman

Our Poor Record,

The average yield Of potatoes in the
United States is 1874 bushels TO the
acre. In Germany it is 1873 bushels.
The average yield of wheat here is I'D
bushels. In Germany it is %. The
yield of oats here is 3T.4. In Germany
1t is HI. The yield OF barley Is .9.T. LII
Germany each acre produces thirty-six
bushels.
But German fields did not always
yield such bountiful crops. Thirty five
years ago Germany raised only 10
bushels of potatoes, nineteen bushels
of wheat, twenty-five bushels Of oats
and t~wenty-three bushels OF barley to
the acre. The German soil is poor.
The German climate is unfavorable to
successful agriculture. Yet by a care

it has been possible to Increase their

IRON OF THE FUTURE.
No Danger of a Shortage Because Of
Increased Consumption.


That iron is the very basis Of our in
dustrial civilization will be admitted
by the thoughtful, and many Of q
greatest supplies OF iron ore are being
rapidly depleted because Of the in.
creased per capita consumption Of iron
destined to be greater In the future
when the races In Asia and Africa In
crease their consumption of iron.
These conditions Of increasing con-
sumption and decreasing reserves have
often In the past, particularly about
the beginning of this century, been
used to create a scare, on the ground
that our supplies of disable ore were
being so rapidly depleted that their ex.
haustion would occur within two or
three generations.
This Is a preposterous point Of view,
because as we lower the percentage of
iron in the rock which we call "ore'
the quantity Of such ore increases at a
rate out Of all proportion to the de-
crease i'm iron content, and as we use
leaner and leaner ores technical i'm.
~provements will be made which will
minimize any tendency to increased
cost of production.
The same thing hos happened in gold.
silver, copper and other ores. and to-
day copper ores are being worked with
only 1.5 per cent Of copper in them

According to a bulletin Of the Ameri

Of Vision, at least half the educated

CURIOUS CHAMELEONS.
Wonderful Powers Of Motion In Their
Eyes and Tongues.

The chameleon is an African lizard
or peculiar form and structure. One
feature Of the chameleon is that his
neck is so short that he cannot turn his
head. To make up for this, however,
he has remarkable powers of motion In
his large, prominent eyes; they move
independently Of each other and are
covered with a membrane pierced only
by a small hole for the pupils to look
through.
The chameleon is not covered with
scales. The body Is raised by the legs
rather higher than most saurians, and
each foot has the power Of grasping
like a hand. The animals lungs are
very large, and 1t has an unusual power
of initiating itself with air. The tongue
Is remarkably extensile. The animal
lives upon insects, which 1t seizes with
Its tongue, darting at them unerringly,
while a viscous saliva causes them to
adhere to 1t.
Except for their eyes and tongues,
the movements of chameleons are slow.
They live on the branches of trees, but
lay their eggs under leaves on the
ground. The eggs are large, and the
chameleon lays ten or twelve. One of
their peculiarities is their great power
of fasting, which, coupled with their
gulping Of air In their great lungs,
gave rise to the fable Of the ancients
that they lived on air.
Their celebrated power of changing
color is not, however, equally fabu-
lous. This depends upon the presence
Of two differently colored layers of
pigment under q transparent skin,
which may show simultaneously or one
at a time or blend.

A Stump juno Piow.

In western Australia they use a spe-
cial type OF piow called the stump
jump" on account of the fact that near
~ all the areas susceptible of cultiva-
ton in that region are heavily wooded,
and the land cannot he cleared of
stumps AMI roots because of the dearth
and high cost of labor. The stump
jump pillow. which is the invention Of
an Australian. is so made that il will
roll over stumps and other obstruc-
tiOns lying Oh the ground.

Naval Gunfre.

In the Napoleonic era the ships open
ed fire with guns at ranges Of about
500 yards. The ships of today open
fire at $4,000 yards range, and gunfire
begins to b. very effective at $4,000
yards. The torpedo as fired from sur
face vessels Is effective up to 10000
yards range, and this requires that a
ship shall keep beyond this distance to
light her guns, says a British naval au-
thority.

the species, will permit farmers to pro
tect their crops or other property when
ever necessary.
