three tons of coal from the curb. A

that she had no money except a five

WHY BRICK CHIMNEYS LEAN
Reason Generally Ascribed Is Alter.
nate Wetting and Drying to
Which They Are Subjected.

Between the wagon builder. alter
nately wetting and drying a board to
pend 1t to the desired shape, and the
mousse chimney, groteSquely leaning to-
ward the east, brick maSons say there
Is similarity. The leaning chimney is
a subject on which even the doctors
disagree but the theory referred to
seems the most plausible.
Chimneys lean toward the east A
little observation anywhere will prove
this Even the best-built affair OF
brick and mortar, acquiring age, often
begins to lean. Various theories are
advanced, but the explanation of al
ternate wetting and drying seems the
best.
Chimney walls collect more or less
moisture during the night, on all sides
Now, If the broad side of the chimney
is toward the east, and If the sun
strikes that part Of the chimney first,
that side dries out much quicker than
the north or south side. or the western
side. In time of rainfall. the east side
ordinarily is dried the quickest. This
general condition has the effect Of
pulling the chimney toward the east.

Hardly an agricultural pest exists,

"a classic instance Of the concentra-
ton of bird attack upon an army of

occurred during the severe outbreaks
of the Rocky mountain lOcustS be-
tween 1865 and 1877. SO numerous
were these voracious pests that many
places visited by them were denuded
of every green thing. A thorough in
vestigation was made of the relation
of birds to the outbreak, and it was
found that practically every species,
from the largest birds Of prey to the
tiniest humming birds, from ducks and
other aquatic fowl to typical bird den
liens of the dry plains, turned to feed

gorged themselves with this abundant

Simple methods and simplicity in
buildings, equipment, and rations have
much to do with the success of poultry
men, according to observations and
experiments made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. There is
mistaken idea among many mex
perienced poultry raisers that the
more elaborate the preparations made
for conducting a plant or for caring
for small flock the better the chance
of success. The safer way is to keep
down expenses as much as possible
without interfering with the health,
comfort, and nOuriShment Of the birds.
It is natural to take pride in fine
looking building provided with all the
refinements that have been designed
to save labor and stimulate egg pro-
duction, but the bank balance is of
more Importance to the average per-
son than such satisfaction. In build
ing a poultry house superfluous pre-
cautions against the weather are fire.

DEADLY WEAPON OF sAVAGES
African Tribes Use Poisoned Arrows
Which lnflict Death That Is
instantaneous.

The most effective weapon Of the
Nasal and Andorobo is the arrow
which they poison with the Accan-
lhera schimperi, a small tree, accord
ing to a National Geographic society
bulletin. They boil the leaves and
branches until the mixture becomes
thick and pitch-like in appearance, and
place it on sheets of bark which they
hide high on the branches of trees
away from children. until it is needed.
When an animal is shot with an arrow
dipped in the poison, it dies almost i'm
mediately. The natives cut out the
flesh around the wound as soon as pos
sible and throw it away. The remain
der is eaten and the blood is drunk.
This love of blood as an article of food
is common among many African tribes,
several of them going so far as to
bleed their cattle and drink the blood
hot or mix it with their porridge.

Instantly the earrings were jerked

was thrown to the floor and hastily
stepped on, the cigarette holder was

her napkin briskly over her lips.
