showIna RattIesnake,s Aae.

Another ancient belief Is shattered by science. The number of rattles a rat tlesnake has is determined not by his age, but by the number of times he sheds his skin. Is the decision given out by the curator in charge of the reptiles in the New York zoo. A baby ,rattler is born with only a button, but soon afterwa,d he sheds his skin and has a rattle. Every time he sheds his skin he gains another, and he usual -ly does this three times a year, all though seasonal or food conditions may vary this
 "The rattle .s rather a delicate or gan," writes the curator. "The snake wears out the older rings dragging them around over rough, rocky ground rattle seldom attains length of more than 10 or 11-rings, as when that number has been acquired the vibration at the tip, when the or gan is used, is so pronounced that ad- ditionai segments are soon worn, bro ken, or lost"

Through the souI's Eyes.

Physical eyes may measure the pos abilities that return effort in terms of dividends, but it takes vision of the soul to become a benefactor to your fellows. Effort for personal gain must be selfish beyond measure if it does not benefit more than the first actor. Even when 1t does not seem to be a help to anyone there are reflexes that are sure to reach men in various walks of life. But the world needs the work of the greater man. He may seem mediocre to his fellows. They may even coddle themselves into imagining their own superiority. What he does will show the difference. Intuitively he will sense the need of the times and without seeming to patronize he will make people appreciate him as friend. Exchange.

WESTERN SPIRIT IN CHINA
Head of University In the Great Vel low Territory Has Proof of Spread
 of Occidental Ideas.


 "He had been pretty well all over the world" said the professor, "and when asked him what country had impressed him most, he said at once, China. And when asked him what in China had impressed him most, he said at once, the West China Union university. The professors remarks were made to the Daily News, London, and he followed them up with a de- lightful story of the way in which Chinese emlnences showed their ap- preclation of this blossom of Western enterprise, the university of which the professor happens to be the presi- dent. Some dozen years ago he was fleeing for his life 1,500 miles down the Yangtze to save his head. He was a foreign devil" and no university had been started. Seven or eight years later, the military governor of Szechuan sent him a beautifully in- scribed statement of his opinion of the university, and a gift of $3,000. The professor was on his way home via Peking. In the Chinese capital he had an interview with the president of the Chinese republic, then Yuan Shih- Kai, who also gave him a declaration of approval and $4,0O0 as a personal gift to the university.

SHOWING VALUE OF FRONT"
Impecunious Author Wise in Expendi- ture That Less Far-Slghted
 Friend Objected To.

There is a young author who has ar rived, and therefore has only, when he wishes a new suit or large steak or a set of automobile tires, to sit down at his typewriter and dash off few care less lines, and eager editors do the rest. Once upon a time, however, and, unlike the fairy stories, that doesn't mean long, long ago-this worthy young mans assets were so near the vanishing point that his nu- merous creditors became uneasy and threatened a total discontinuance of supplies. Something had to be done, and that quickly. The author did something-he took famous fnancier with whom he happened to be ac- quainted to lunch at the most ex- pensive and conspicuous restaurant in town. When it was over he walked home for lack of another nickel.
 You are not as bright as you might be, my boy" he patiently explained to a protesting friend as he cheerfully borrowed a quarter. Several of my largest creditors always lunch at that place, and I knew they would recog- nize the man I was with. Why, that lunch is good for at least 60 days ex- tension on my accounts"

STAND BY PRESENT T B. PLAN
Live Stock Associations Decide to Take No Steps to Lower Stand
 ard Now In Vogue.

After two years of practical opera ton of the tuberculosis-free accredited herd plan, a joint committee repre- senting the pure-bred cattle associa- tions and the United States Live Stock Sanitary association has unanimously decided that no steps, should be taken to lower the high standard of the present plan.
 It was decided that no herd should be accredited if it. contains tuber- cular animal, male or female. It was agreed by the joint committee, to show that owners are exerting an ef- fort to exterminate the disease, that e supplementary list be made to the accredited herd list to contain the names of the owners of pure-bred herds that are free from tuberculosis on two annual tests but, in which the herd bull reacts. Such a herd will not receive an accredited herd cer- tihcate. The reacting bull may be used under certain conditions.
 The accredited herd plan is adminis- tered by the bureau of animal indus try, United States department of ag- rfculture, in cooperation with the states.

Dream That Means Death.

A peculiar dream is that which has visited a certain Irish family for gen erations, invariably before a death or some big change. They call it their kissing lady dream. The person who experiences 1t dreams that they are sitting in a very old-fashioned room before a blazing wood fire, when sud denly the door behind them opens and a beautiful girl in green, tight-ftting garments enters, and, stealing softly behind them, draws their head gently back and kisses them full on the lips. As she does so there Is always the changing of steel on a stone staircase, the hurried tramp of armed men, and they awake trembling.

EXECUTED" HIS DEAD BODY Stern Decree of Justice Carried Out on Corpse of Ancient DaImatlan
 Archbishop.

Dalmatia has made rapid strides In science and literature, the story of her culture, however, being one of per sonaI achievement rather than public advancement. Zara, it's largest city, for example, had no printing press un- til 1796, while Venetian Dalmatia had only one public school in the eighteenth century.
 Roger Joseph Boscoyitch. one fla nous son of Dalmatia, was esteemed by scientists for his work setting forth a new atomic theory, but more popu- larly known because of the adoption of his plan for assuring the upright ness of the dome of St. Peters at Rome when a crack was discovered in 1t. He wrote verse voluminously, but not as successfully as he wrote his numerous scientific treatises.
 Marco Antonio de Dominis, another Dalmatian of public note, mingled the olOgy and natural philosophy with serious consequences to himself. He set forth the first correct explanation of the rainbow, but his theological career was less fruitful. As archbishop of SpalatO he attacked his superiOrs in his writings, fled to England, re turned to Rome, then did penance by writing a book refuting his heretical works. He was tried, but died before the trial ended. The trial went on and he was sentenced to be dragged through the streets of Rome and burned publicly. His body was re moved from his coffin and the sentence executed.

STEERS HAPPENED ON sILAGE
interesting Feeding Test With sheIIed Corn Conducted at Missouri
 Station.

At the Missouri experiment station one lot of steers was fed .15 pounds of shelled corn per head per day along with 2.5 pounds of linseed oil cake, 2.9 pounds of clover hay. and 9 pounds of corn silage. Another lot re ceived no shelled corn but a little more of the oil cake and clover and 40 pounds of silage per head per day. The results were that the lot that re- ceived shelled corn and half feed of silage charged s15.95 for 100 pounds gain, while the other lot charged only s1O.69. The cost of feed per steer on shel1ed corn was S50.23. while with the other lot it was $2117.

PROVIDE SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Exposure to Wind and Storms Is Cause of Much Loss-Protection
 Is Not Costly.

Great sheep losses come through ex- posture to wind and storm. In all parts of the country farms that have sheep on them will do well to provide shelter from bad weathef. These do not cost so much as to have the sheep die fin the cold and wet. If we had all the money that is lost in sheep in any one year through exposure to storm we would be far richer than we are.

Churches Observe candIemas Day.

Candlemas day, celebrated as the day of Christ's presentation at the temple, is observed in the Anglican, Roman and Greek churches, Febru- ary ?, this day being the fortieth after the birth of Christ, on which the puri- fication of the mother and the presen- tation of the son should occur accord ing to Levitical rules.
 The institution of the festival is attributed to Pope Gelasius, in the latter part of the fifth century, in many details showing itself to be a Chris tianization of the pagan Februalia, celebrated in ancient Rome at about the same period. The special services of the day. among Roman Catholics consist of Ia blessing of candles by the priests.

 Judged by this standard, Nogales IS bounding forward with strides which defy successful competition.
 For the last twelve months the monthly bank deposits of the Western Union office in this city have exceeded S1O,000.
 The collections on charge accounts with firms and individuals of Nogales have averaged 100 per cent.
 The business of the company has been in excess of that produced by any other city of equal size in Ari- zona and of many cities greater in population in this and other $ tates of the union.
 The average of cable business ap- proximates $200 a month, which is re- markable for an inland city of it's size.
