NO MUSIC TEACHER SENT IT
Recipient of Case of Scotch Sent by David Warfield Couldn't Make EX-
 press Agent Believe Him.

Hearing that a friend of his had gone to spend the summer in pro hibition village, David Warield sent him a case of Scotch whisky.
 As none of the expressmen was li censed to deliver liquor, the case rest ed for a couple of weeks in the express office, and finally the man to whom ii was directed was notified to call at the express office and explain the contents of the box. As the name of the brand of whisky was blazoned in large let ters on the side of the box, the man saw that there was no possible chance of passing it off either as patent medi- cine or ginger ale. "Ah, yes! This was sent by Mir. David Warfeld, the music master"
 For half a minute the expHssman looked at the man sneeringly, then with a superior smile he exclaimed : You can have the box if you'll cart it away. It's addressed to you and ] know it's whisky. But don't never try to make me swallow that music yarn That box didn't come from no music teacher"

Corn on the cob.

From Maine comes the good news that the season for corn on the cob is to be made to include 12 months ev- cry year, says the Boston Herald. The man who loves to pick an ear of corn from the platter, spread it deep with butter, sprinkle it generously with salt, then gnaw the corn from the cob in the way that nature intended such things to be attended to will no long CT have to limit that sort of gastro- homie ecstasy to the months of late summer and early fall. For Maine, where the industry of canning sweet corn is recognized the world over as without a rival, has begun to can sweet corn on the cob. It has been done in a small way before, but this year it blossoms into real industry so much of an industry that one con cern there has recently booked a sin gle order for 10000 cases of q cans to the case.

CLINICS TO FETISH
As Result, Native African Is Easy
 Prey to CrocodiIes.
Think, an odd-Shaped or Bright Col. ored Rock Will Protect Him From Attacks of Reptiles in
 the Water.

The killing of natives in Portuguese East Africa by crocodiles is so large each year that the statistics to a stranger are appalling. In that part of the world the reptile as an enemy O. human beings has the distinction of outrivaling the buffalo, elephant and lion.
 In proportion to population, this fierce quartette kills more natives an- nually than do the tigers and serpents in India.
 And yet the Portuguese East Af- rican does not dread the crocodile nearly as much as he does the buff falO elephant and lion. He ranks the ferocity of these three in the or der named.
 The explanation is found in the grOveling fetishism of the natives.
 The American consul at LOurenzO Marques in that far-away country for seven years, George Agnew Chamber lain, told of this on a recent visit to the United States.
 Making an odd-shaped or bright colored rock his fetish, or perchance a gnarled tree or branch or shrub, the native believes he said, ''it will pro- tect him from the crocodile, and rushes uncOncerned into the waters where these reptiles swarm.
 "An agonizing yell soon tells of the quick ending and oft repeated tragedy.
 Again a medicine man in the tribe frequently makes a native believe his life is charmed against danger, and 1T he plunges to meet a horrible death, in spite of the fact that a moment before he has seen with his own eyes 9 crocodile attack another native.
 "This belief in the fetish is the hardest thing the missionaries and of ficials have to fight against. The na- hves have followed the practice from time immemorial and it is no wonder that this or that stream is pointed out as the place where ten thousand have been killed by reptiles in a few. E.years.
 "The quiet, steady, sIumh de, habits of the crocodile have |fdoo ed-, ly led to the wide belief in IIl5 cIiafiIl' of a fetish.
 But there is no belief in a fetish against the rushing buffalo, the en- ragged, charging elephant, or the roar ing lion. Native, fetish and all scam per away when these three animals come rushing on.'

Nevada Adopts the saoebrush.

After the legislature had refused to adopt the sagebrush as the emblem of the state of Nevada, requests by woman's clubs throughout the state obtained a reversal of the former ac- tiOn, and the desert shrub has been officially adopted by the present ses- sion as the state insignia. Nevada has been known for years as the Sage brush state, but the name was applied, not because of legislative action, but because of the large proportion of Nevada covered by shrubbery.-Car- son City Correspondent Portland Ore gonian.

Rice an Ancient cereaI-

The culture of rice is alluded to in the Talmud, and there is evidence that it was grown in the valley of the Eu- pirates and in Syria before 400 B. c. It was taken into Persia from India, and later into Spain by the Arabs. Thence it's culture was introduced into Italy about 1468 A. D. The Spaniards are also responsible for it's introduc- ton into Peru and other sections of Spanish-America during the early colo nial period, but the exact date has not been definitely determined. The first introduction of rice culture in the Americas seems really to have been in Brazil.

SHOULD NOT GO BAREF0oTEL
Awful Condition of Natives of fiayti Who Can't Afford Shoes, Cited
 as Warming.


 An argument very frequently ad yanced to justify radical changes il our present mode of living is the hack neyed reference to customs in anima life, or that of our primeval ancestors 1.-The animals do it; why shouldn't i be natural, for we are all animals 2 is the usual way of presenting it.
 The casting aside of many of oul modern articles of clothing would bt a great advantage to the human race in the course of q few generations, bu certain reversions to antiquity some times recommended are dangerous ol impossible. The most notable of these relates to discarding shoes and advo cates bare feet.
 The barefoot theory has much tC recommend it, an exchange says. Mod ern shoes are a practical abuse of the feet and choke off the elimination ot body pOisons. Yet that the shoe and stockings cannot be entirely discarded has recently been proved by medical observation of the condition of the na. tiYes' feet in the island of Hayti, ir the West Indies.
 Of the 3,OOO,OOO inhabitants of this land there are probably not more than a few thousand who wear shoes or stockings. The population is so pOOl and degraded, the laborer's daily wage so low that such articles of dress as Q pair of shoes are looked upon as a rict mans supreme luxury. As a result Ot such a state of affairs, the feet of the majority of the natives are diseased and in frfghtful condition. In this re gard it is worthy of note that most Ot the population are of the African race not accustomed to shoes as the Cau casian races have been.

Light of the Moon.

That the ratio of the light of the full moon to the half moon should be as nine to one instead of two to one has been worked out by a very simple method. tsz
 The seleniuid cen is extremely sen- sitive to the lfsa With this cell an experiment wa8 tried in measuring the amount of light which comes from the moon at differeat times. It was dis covered that the fulf moon gives out nine times as much light as the half moon.
 The reason which the scientists have given for this is that it is due to the varying angles of re1 eetion presented by the roughened surfaces of the moon to the sun. The moon is brighter be- tween the first quarter and the full moon than between the full moon and the last quarter. The cause of this is evident in the more highly reflective character of that part of the moon which lies west of the meridian.-ChI- cago Herald.
