Swiss nMournIna urn.n

At the death of person in Switzer- land the family inserts a formal, blaek-edge announcement in the pa- pers asking for sympathy, and stating that the mourning urn" will be ex- hibited during certain hours on a spe- cial day. In front of the house where the person died there is placed little black table covered with a-black cloth, on which stands black jar. Into this the friends of the family drop little black-margined visiting cards, some times with a few words of sympathy on them. The urn is put on the table on the day of the funeral. Only men ever go to the churchyard. and then generally follow the hearse on foot.

PROVIDE WATER FOR CATTLE
Ponds, Springs, Troughs and Other Facilities Should Be Cleaned
 and Put in Shape.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Before turning cattle that have been kept in the barn or lot during the winter onto a pasture a good water supply should be carefully provided for. Ponds, springs, watering troughs or other facilities for watering should be cleaned and put into shape. It is frequently thought that the water sup ply is abundant early in the season and therefore that no attention need be given to 1t. This is a mistake, as springs and ponds fill up during the winter and troughs become damaged

ESKIMO DANCE WORTH SEEING
Ceremony InduIoed in by Both Women and Men Is Performed With
 Rhythmic Grace.

Eskimos of Alaska perform their dancing feats to the sound of tom toms" with round, fiat heads and short handles. The heads of the instru- ments are of seal hide, which the na- lives moisten from time to time with a sponge to keep frightened. They beat on the under side of the drum head with long, slender willow wands, little chips breaking off the sticks all the time and flying about. With a slow, mOnotonous chant at first, they gradually work themselves into fren- zied shout and loud, resonant beating of the drums as the dance goes on.

In most cases the water supply cannot be materially increased, so care must be taken to conserve what is available. It is advisable to fence around springs to prevent the cattle from tramping the earth and polluting the water. The maximum use of water from a spring can be obtained I.y providing two or three troughs set so that the overflow from one will run into the next one. This arrangement not only makes the water more accessible to the stock but keeps 1t cleaner and better

Whether this is attributable to the

we hope to see more interest mani

grows cooler. The old adage, "All
