Several balloons have been trained

~ himself observed the baboon had
charge of several hundred sheep. He
became passionately attached to the
members of the flock, and remained
with them all day long at pasture and
brought them back to the corral in
the evening. His only fault as shep,
herd was the outcome Of extreme so
licitude; If he heard the voices Of wild
balloons in the distance at any time
of the day, he would at once collect
the sheep, and with every appearance
of the liveliest terror hurry them
home.

been observed that the white pickle
disease of the cultivated cucumber is
generally more abundant and severe
near towns than In the open country.
This is of importance not only to
nearby farmers who grow pickles as
a business, but to town gardeners as
well who wish to grow a few cucum-
bers, muskmelons or other vine crops
for home use. The disease may attack
any Of these vines so severely as TO
kill the plant or prevent the production
of any but warty and worthless fruits.
The striped cucumber beetle, which
is usually present on cucumbers, is
one of the most effective agents in
spreading the disease from plant to
plant and from field to field. Depart

shown that the disease is carried from

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huang Shan Created a Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago.
Is Tradition.

More than 800 years ago in the Ming
dynasty, a Buddhist priest named Pu
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhui hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making 1t sacred
mountain. A journey to Picking and
an audience with the royal household
resulted in an appropriation Of large
sums Of money for developing this
fairyland of the gods. A brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple. 1t
was decorated with 1000 little Bud
dhas and was called Thousand God pa
CODA. The temple whose halls it
decked was chrlstened the Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called Merclful Light hall.
At that time, says the North China
Herald. hundreds of priests came to
the mountains, and there was a period
of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built to the tops of all the important
peaks, and at least one temple was
erected far above the line of perennial
springs.
