cowbeIIs Save Cherries.

W. A. Bull Of -Igo, CAL, saved his
big cherry crop with cowbells oper-
ated by a water wheel.
Bull has an orchard up South Fork
creek. His cherries ripened, but as
fast as they matured birds picked them
off. Bull rugged up some ordinary
scarecrows. They did well enough for
a day or so, or until the wise birds de-
tected the fraud.
AS q last resort Bull tried several
cowbells in the treetops, and to the
tinklers attached strings, which he
jerked from his front porch. The cow
bells jangling scared the birds away
all right and bid fair to save the cherry
crop, but Bull got tired of jerking the
strings oil day long.
Now he has water wheel that runs
his wife's churn. So Bull attached the
strings to the churn dasher. As the
water wheel went its rounds the churn
dasher bobbed up and down and the
cowbells kept up their jangling in the
treetops all day long.
The birds were scared away effectu-
ally and Bull saved his cherry crop.

ALBANIANs ARE ODD PEOPLE
Some Of Them Are Highly Civilized,
But as Body They VIII Have
Nothing Of Progress.

AS a matter of fact, Albania is a
network of mountain tribes under
hereditary chieftains, each Of whom Is
independent of the rest and of all the
world. and they do not want any
other form of institutions. ANY gener-
al government they regard as a limita-
ton cf their immemorial freedom.
They are natural fighters, and esteem
no privilege higher than the privilege
Of warfare among themselves, tribe
against tribe. They are of several
faiths and churches-Moslem, Catho-
lie, Orthodox Greek, Moslems with
Christian customs and Christians with
Moslem customs, and in some tribes,
in the same family, the boys are
brought up as MosIems and the girls
as Christians. With these people re-
ligion is a mere incident. The main
thing is to be let alone. Only in this
disposition and in their language are
they united.
Yet these picturesque and free-spir-
tied barbarians are the oldest, purest
and probably the handsomest repre-
sentatives of our race. In lineage they
are the Aryan aristocracy of Europe.
Ardent tribesmen, most dignified shep-
herds. devoted mountaineers, they new
erthless wander over the earth; and
many of them are engaged today In
backing boots in Boston, New York
and Chicago. Individually capable Of
civilization and education, well en-
dowed with brains. their native prefer
ence for the wild nationless life of
their mountain home suggests doubt
whether they have not after all the
right idea of life-whether the rest or
us. in modifying the purity Of the
blood which these rude Skipetars have
maintained so nobly, have not degens
Grated instead of risen, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Why else, curious
mind might ask, should the Albanians
placed in the most beautiful nook OF
Europe, facing the Adriatic sea, poised
between Rome and Constantinople
and Athens, have remained illiterate
barbarians through all the centuries,
never Hellenized, never Latinized,
while at the same time they preserved
some of the noblest characteristics
and virtues of the race? Isolated they
have been. and very much civilized
some Of their members have become.
But of progress they will have nothing.

Chinese Printers Job.

Chinese characters do not express
sounds although the pitch Of the voice
lis significant. Their letters are ideo-
graphs, or writing of ideas or things.
Hence the Chinese have no alphabet
strictly speaking. For this reason, says
Popular Science Monthly, the Chinese
must employ an astounding number of
characters. It takes about 10000 char
acters to print a book in the Chinese
language; vet sometimes an entire
thought or a whole sentence is repre-
scented by one characteri The word
"black" is one character, and so is
mother" "dead," ''yes," yellow" and
a great many other words. With such
a,conglomeration, is it any wonder that
the American printer wonders how 1t
is possible to print anything in Chi
nese?

HORROR or DESERT WARFARE
Dust. Heat and Flies Are Worst
Plaques From Which Soldiers
Suffer in Mesopotamia.

Hardships and discomforts of the
British campaigns in Palestine and
Mes0potamia are the themes of many
letters written by soldiers serving un-
der the commands Of General Sir
Archibald Murray. in Palestine. or
Major General Maude. in Mesopotamia.
IF you want TO see a muddle. you
ought to see a camel convoy under
shellfire," writes one man from the
vicinity Of GAIA, In southern Pales-
tine. THE natives who lead the
cameIs run away at the first shot, and
then the white men try to induce, by
all the profanity they can muster.
those camels to hurry out Of range or
under the cover Of hill. All the time
good lives are being lost trying to save
the convoy. which perhaps has the
water supply for thousands of men on
the firing line"
Dust, heat and flies are the worst
three plaques Of Mesopotamia from
the soldiers standpoint. writes one Of
the privates who suffered from them.
ITO you" he adds. ''the flies would
be quite inconceivable. They settle in
great clusters on everything. Some of
, them can sting and bite severely. With
the coming Of nightfall the ordinary
flies disappear and the mosquitoes
and sandfiies take their places. The
sandfy Is an insidious plague. You
have to wear a very fine suffocating
mesh on your face. and at night you
must spray thin acid over your face
to get any peace. The temperature
goes up from 10 to 142 degrees in the
shade. The mornings work being
done, you lie in your tent with the
nap UP. You almost gasp for breath.
Anxiously you await the going down
Of the sun. You wear a toupee or a
wet towel on your head. One very
rarely wears much clothing, and you
lead the simple life. The heat takes
all pride from you. You're just bathed
in dust and sweat.
"You can get sunstroke through the
small Of your back. The hot wind,
bad as it is, is better than the COM
plete stiffness, although 1t bounces off
the earth, fiinging sand and dust all
over you. You eat sand and breath
It; you lie down in it; it's in your
mouth, eyes, ears and clothes. These
things leave Mesopotamia burnt into
your memory forever"

Gases Used in Warfare.

A recent scientific report from Eu-
rope treats Of the principal gases used
for attack. These include chlorine,
bromine, sulphur dioxide and formal
dehyde. Chlorine and bromine have
proved most effective, because of their
great weight. They roll over the
ground like water. These gases are
released from compression tanks. The
sulphur dioxide and formaldehyde are
produced by burning the appropriate
chemicals. There are many gases
more deadly than those named, but
in order to be effective for trench
work the poison gas must have sufii-
cient weight to stick to the ground.
The gas mask has practically done
away with the actual effectiveness of
the gas attacks. but they are said to
have considerable psychological effect
still, many soldiers thinking they are
"gassed" when they are only smelling
the harmless vapors set up inside the
gas masks.

Every GOLFER is CHAMPION
Y He Doesn't Like the Ordinary
cIassisications He Can Make New
Ones to Suit Himself.

II long has been n mystery TO tho
man who doesn't play golf 10 under
stand what there is about the game 10
make otherwise dignified and rational
persons to so nutty over it. Should
non-golfer casually conflde TO his FAM
lily doctor that all is not well, and that
he finds that he can't get away with
three square meals a day and a light
lunch before retiring quite SO happily
as he used TO, the medical man prob
ably win tell him to play golf And if
the non-golfer asks if the doctor plays
the game. the physician proceeds to
give him 5000 words on how he made
the seventeenth hole in three. and that
he can swing his mashie like Chick
Evans. And il is the same with other
acquaintances; they all prescribe their
fad as means Of battling old age.
Another queer thing about the game
is the ready conceit acquired by the
dub, says the Seattle Post-Intelligen-
Ger. Give a near-golfer two or three
lessons and he is ready to bet money
on himself And he win go to a lot of
trouble to round up a bunch of other
dubs and take them out to the links
TO trim them out of 40 cents. Any
player may be champion in his class.
He may be the best 240-pound, side
whiskered and bald-headed player in
the world. n he doesn't like the ordi-
nary classification he can make new
ones to suit him. There is no reason
why any man should not be champion
in his class.
Also it is exasperating for a man
who must stay in the Office or store
all day to have somebody come in and
clank his golf sticks on the floor and
talk about niblicks and brassies and
the drive through stroke" whatever
that is. And just when the CONVERSE
ton gets around TO the point where
one could happily expatiate ON the
joys of backyard garden, motor
boat or a fiivver the bounder usually
rises and leaves hurriedly.

Measuring Your pace.

How many steps do you take to the
mile? Even If your considered reply
be "1.760." / shall take leave to doubt
it. Should you be a British infantry
man your pace will be the longest of
any infantryman. The Russian pace
is the shortest, being but 271la inches ;
the French, Italian and Austrian pace
is % inches, the Germans do 80 inches,
while British soldiers stride an extra
half inch. But your own pace, what
of it?s 1t depends upon your height.
Take your eyebrow height, halve it,
and that represents your pace. You
viii find it to be somewhere between
80 inches and 80 inches, so that you
will need between 1000 and 2,1OO
PAGES to the mile.-London Chronicle.

Living on Galleries.

The cheapest eating in the world IS
rice and peanuts. measured by the
calories, which constitute the only real
test. The former costs five cents per
1000 calories and the latter seven
cents. So that if person would eat a
good helping of rice and wind up by a
plentiful dessert of peanuts, he would
get more muscle, brain, nerve and bone
out of it than he would out Of a diet
of roast beef and potatoes. There is
no attention paid to the value of food
in practical living. Our sole guide is
what hits our appetite, says the Ohio
State Journal. We want what ''we'd
ruther," as the poor woman told Jane
Adams. 1t is going in and buying
potatoes by the pile. without regard
to the bushels or pecks. There is
twice as much living in some kinds of
foods as in others and yet we pass up
our plate perfectly uncoRcerned
whether it comes back with 500 or
1000 calories. This is one reason we
are poor.

Although the supreme court gave an
exhaustive opinion on one occasion,
declaring goose to be an animal and
so under the protection Of laws pro-
hibiting cruelty to animals. it has
never held a chicken to be an animal,
and so the chicken is not amenable to

are vague as far as damages from
