Dous' Teeth as Currency,

Dogs teeth are the Papuans' gold,
the most valuable Of coins in their
estimation" says a writer in Wide
World. "They purchase weapons, cat
tie, grain and the crude household
utensils with dogs teeth. Only the
four canine teeth, however, are of any
value, all the others being worthless.
These quaint coins are threaded on
fibres, and when wealthy Papuan
goes trading he brings with him
strings of these teeth.
'The women greatly prize them and
make them into necklaces, their
wealth and standing in the community
being indicated by the number of teeth
which compose these ornaments. The
wives and daughters of the influential
chiefs wear rows upon rows Of them
around their necks on every festive
occasion. They polish them until they
shine like ivory, and they certainly
make an effective decoration on CLOS
sy black body. One necklet shown to
the writer was composed Of no fewer
than 800 teeth, which means that 80
dogs were sacrificed to obtain them"

China and the Bean.

The bean plays an important part in
Chinese domestic economy, and, &C
cording to East and West News, one
Of the specially desired qualifications
of the Chinese matron, throughout the
northern provinces, is her ability to
concoct from beans-green, black and
yellow-those staple dishes that the
Chinese know as teu feu and lang
fen.
The bean seldom appears on the
Chinese table whole; it is not cOnsid-
cred as fit for food until it has been
reduced to it's essences and put up in
the form Of bean curd, Or bean gelatin,
which are for sale in every roadside
fOodshOp of northern China.
The art Of producing these nourish-
ing foods, which are the meat of the
poor, is to the rural Chinese woman
what the making Of butter, cheese
AMI jam is to the Occidental house
wife. In the large cities bean ma.
nipulation Of that sort is a craft and
a commercial activity, just as the max
ing of jam and butter is in the large
cities of the West; but it can hardly
be called an industry, since it is still
quite without organization. The beans
must be crushed, soaked, baked, boil
ed, strained, and so on, before the es-
sences appear.

STORIES OF SUFFERlNGS
IN THE FOREST FIRES

Stories of intense suffering and
est fires in Minnesota were told by
Marshall Cousins, who was sent to
the devastated region by Gov. Philip
to make an investigation and offer any
possible aid that the state can give to
aid the stricken families and refugees.
The fires, he said, are still burning,
but the danger of causing another ca
tastrophe is passed
Twenty-one towns were destroyed
in the fire swept region, which COW
cred an area of 1000 to 1000 miles
and caused a money loss estimated at
about $75,O0O,0OO. More than 1000
people were killed.
When the fires started, the alarm
was Immediately given and autos,
trains, wagons and vehicles of all
kinds were Immediately put to serv-
ice getting the refugees from tho
burning area Hundreds of autos were
later found with their occupants
burned to crisp, being unable to
keep ahead of the fast travelling
flames and the intense smoke and
gas, famed by a sixty-mile gale.
Many of the villagers and farmers
took to rowboats and went out into
the lake, but most Of them lost their
lives there when the boats capsized
because of the fierce wind.
Large numbers of people, fleeing
from their homes, dug deep pits with
heavy timbers and straw, he said, but
when the flames reached the pits the
timbers burned and crashed into the
pits, killing people who sought re-
fuge there. Others went to wells, but
the intense heat and wind dried up
the wells and many lost their lives.
Mr.. Cousins told of an incident dur
ing the fire in which large shepherd
dog was seen running along the road
away from the burning area The dog
carried a bundle in his teeth.
Several trucks passed the dog until
the driver Of one stopped to invssti-
gate. Unwrapping the bundle, he
found a baby, snugly wrapped up,
alive and we'll. It's parents later
claimed the child Many cases were
told where the hoofs of cattle were
burned away although the animals
we're still alive. They had to be shot

miniStrator for Wisconsin.
A direct reduction in the cOnSump-
ton of all foods rather than specific

wheat and meat forms the basis of
the new rules. Failure to conform to
them will be regarded as wasteful
practice forbidden by the Food Con,
troll Act and subject to penalty.
No bread or other bakery product

cent of substitutes may be served, and

bread or four ounces of other breads

granted to any patron.
Bread Or toast may not be served as

more than one kind of meat, that is
beef, mutton, pork, poultry and any
by-products thereof Bacon will not
be permitted as garnitu-e.
Not more than one-haf ounce of but
ter and one-half ounce of American

on table and in cooking except to the
hotels holding bakery license.
No waste food may be burned, but
must be saved to feed animals or re-
duced to obtain fats.
Simplif1ed service, with meats and
vegetables on one plate instead of in
side dishes, only necessary silverware
and simplifeation of the menu and
menu cards are urged as a means OF
saving food, labor and paper. Table
d'hote meals, except when confined tc
few courses and small variety, are
discouraged.

"PIantations."

The word plantation is used princi.
pally in the Southern states, where it
originated in old slavery times to des-
ignate farm cultivated by negroes, as
cotton plantation or sugar planta-
ton. In Maine it has a distinctive
meaning, representing a form Of gov
eminent smaller than a township. In
that state most of the functions Of 10.
cal government are performed by the
town or township. In addition to II
cities and 1916 towns, Maine has IS
plantations and 131 unorganized places
under the names of plantations, grants,
SURPRISES and cores. A surplus is a
small territorial division consisting of
an irregular tract laid off by state
authority. A gore is triangular piece

another which is close to thirty. Two
others in the vicinity are around the
Quarter-century mark. AS he says, 1t
is only in rural community, where
they cherish the horse almost like
member of the family, where one could
expect to find such a record. Even
there this demonstration of longevity
is striking.
Nevertheless, the oldest horse that
the Nomad ever saw was in the serv-
ice of the New York city surface
railway system. This horse was, at
the time when the Nomad was ac-
quainted with him, actually fOrty-two
years old, and he lived two years
longer. He had been street-car
horse on New York pavements, and
then was used as a chill horse,' or
extra puller, on slopes, and then, when
he became about thirty years old, was
retired on a pension, spending most of
his time in -dign.lied~ ease in box
stall; and he lived on in this way, APP
parently without a pain or all ache,
until he was forty-four. All this can
be proved and authenticated from the
documents.
The Nomad's own old saddle horse,
Brownie, lived to be thirty-Odd-no one
knew exactly how many more years
there were than thirty-but thirty
were authenticated, and he was a
grown horse when the count began.
Brownie looked round and smooth
even after thirty, but his legs were like
sticks, and his interest in life, beyond

Pharaoh's Serpent's Eqq Trick.

One of the most amusing tricks In
fireworks is the serpent's egg trick,
where little pellet when lighted turns
into a horrible snake, many, many
times the size Of the pellet. How awe
inspiring it is to the youngsters Most
people have no idea what in the world
causes the snake to appear. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. Mercury sulpho-
cyanid burns with a voluminous ash.
The little pellet is nothing more than
some mercury sulphocyanid. The heat
causes the ash to move off so quickly
from the burning pellet that it writhes
and distorts itself into the shape Of a
miniature snake.

Bird Songs.

where three roads met, and the air
was full of bird songs. For long
time I stood there and tried to note
how many different songs could hear.
Near by were the alto joy-notes of the
Baltimore oriole. Up from the meadow
where the trout flowed came the bub-
bling, gurgling notes of the bobolink.
Robins, wood thrushes, song sparrows,
chipping sparrows, bluebirds, vireos.
gold finches, chebees, indigo birds,
