Scientists Assert That
BroWn-Eyed Men Are Far
in Lead as Bigamists

Eminent doctors, scientists and Grim
inologists say that brown-eyed men
are dangerous. They have estimated
that more than IS per cent of the
worlds bigamists have brown eyes,
and in explanation say that 1t is due
TO the fact that brown-eyed men gen.
orally have dash of Southern blood
in their veins. They are more pas
sionate, have stronger and deeper emo
tions and consequently are more fasci-
mating TO women.
Eyebrows that droop and eyes that
are close together are found among
the worst rogues on the calendars, says
one detective. Those who have made
study Of characteristics also tell US
that the snub-nosed man and the man
who yanks his mustache down and the
man with steel-blue eyes are selfish
and melancholy, and have no stead
fastness In their makeup. Out of "a
murderers, specially selected for the
brutality Of their crimes, no fewer
than 10 have steel-blue eyes.

side his monogram. He accidentally
gave it in change at tailor shop. The
tailor gave it to customer who went
to Denver and tried to pass 1t in a res
taurant. Noticing the monogram he
returned 1t to vest pocket and for
got about It, later sending the vest to
the tailor to be cleaned. The original
owner wrote the tailor Of his loss. The

Dawn as 1t Is Welcomed by
Animals, Birds of the Air
and PosieS of the Field

The dawn that dispels sleep, in
nature is only welcome. The cows
that have drowsed since evening twi-
light, crouched in ungainly comfort
on the ground, like half-produced
sphinXes to the night-wanderer's vague
vision, with now and then moments
munching of the cud in their dreams,
wake at the first gray tints, upheave
their clumsy bodies, and fay to brows-
ing daintily near the pasture bars.
The birds stir in the high boughs
and the bushes, call and twitter to
each other, preen their ruffled feathers
and shake slumber from their joyous
throats in song.
The fragrances of herb and flower,
the roses charm and the balsam of the
frs, eXhale upon the dewy air. The
casts perpetual miracle, cOursing the
globe forever from Its source in tho
mid-Pacific waters, Is at the verge of
revelation. The riddle Of the nights
dream opens it's mystery as the lighter
tints are absorbed into the splendid
heraldry of morn. Earth with rich
expectancy awaits the new revealment
always at hand, ever withdrawn,
going on with the dawn to new days.

Apes as Farm Hands
Prof. Richard Lynch Garner Plans
Nation Of Corillas in y. S.

Prof. Richard Lynch Garner has an
nounced his intention of establishing
a nation of chimpanzees and gorillas
In the United States for the ultimate
purpose of uplifting the entire ape
race, says a New York correspondent.
Professor Garner has just returned
after two and one-half years in the
French Congo gathering specimens for
the Smithsonian institution.
The apes today, In their uncultured
state, are second only to the human
family in point Of intellect, the profess
sor said. He believes that apes, If
given the advantage Of modern educa-
ton and environment, would develop
into a race that would sow and reap
and toll in the mill. In refined young
lady apes the professor sees possible
solution of the servant problem.
Sam, boy ape that shared my
home In Africa, learned to fetch things
l called for" he said. "He became as
particular as about bed sheets being
smoothed out, and he couldn't go to
sleep without pillow. If man could
train a dog to herd sheep, man can
make farm hand out of an ape"

earliest, to be followed later by the
love-call.
At the beginning Of the breeding
season birds of opposite sex call to
each other, and this vocal exercise Is
especially performed by the males.
Songs were actually mere repetitions
of call notes, and only later came the
development Of pure song as under
stood by men. When nightingales are
courting they utter gentle, subdued
warbling. Duets are common between
pairs of birds of various species. Real
song, however, does rot seem to de-
pend upon the breeding season at all.

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Cholera and blaokhead, common
disease of which many kinds of do
mestic poultry die, but most commonly
chickens and turkeys, has no real
name in poultry annals, though on
making a diagnosis of the dead birds
often it is called cholera, blackhead
and few other names, when, after
all, 1t is merely acute inflammation of
the intestines caused by feeding con-
stipating food, says one person.
1t is true that fowls after eating
drastic poisons, will show up with the
same intestinal inflammation, but it
Is more commonly due to feeding IA
tOo-heavily concentrated ration. 1t Is
che mysterious disease that so often
kills hogs, calves and sheep. In the
first 1t Is, as in poultry, too often at
tributed to cholera, and the owner
goes on feeding in the old way instead
of giving the flock, or the herd, plenty
Of pure water at all hours to quickly
pass the concentrated food on to quick
elimination, helped on by regular
doses of EPSON salts.
This neglect is more apparent with
poultry than other stock. Corn is one
of the feeds most sure to bring on
this condition, if fed in large quanti-
ties to any kind of stock. With poul-
try, as with other stock, and especially
in spring when frost lies on the new
grass the trouble at times will bring
about great loss.
