HAVE OWN TOILET REQUISITES
How Some Feathered Creatures Are
Enabled to Maintain Wonderfully
Glossy Appearance.

1t is generally known that there are
a number of birds who possess nat
ural supply of toilet requisites.
The duck, for example obtains the
wonderfully glossy appearance of its
feathers by means of private store
of 'briIlantine'' which 1t possesses,
This curious oily liquid is stored in
small gland under the roots of Its
tail, and when, us so often happens,
a duck rubs its head under its tail
It is really Just giving itself a thorough
treatment with its own special hair.

There are some birds, also, who are
provided with comb. Barn-owls are
among the British birds that have this
appliance. II is situated on the inner
edge of one of their claws, and they
use it. principally, to rid tlieir feathers
of some of The parasites with which
they are so often infected.
Then there are birds who have theil

and the hawks are examples OF these,
The powder is made by certain

CANNOT FEED POPULATION
Why the Standard of Life in over
crowded India is of Relatively
Low Order.

Compared with the United States,
India has smaller area and much
larger population. writes Harold Cox
In Asia Magazine. The area of India.
including the semi-independent indian
states, is less than two-thlrds of the
area of the United States; hut the
population is three times as large.
1t may reasonably be Inferred that
India is already overfull of human be-
ings. Yet social customs and religious
creeds still impose upon Indian par
ents the duty of begetting children, re
gardless of the means available for
their maintenance, with the result that
children are poured Into the world
even more rapidly than in Europe and
in the United States. Roughly. one in
four Of the infants thus brought into
being dies before 1t has ceased to be
an infant. Others die in early youth
or early manhood. The average du
ration of lie n india Is far below the
average Of western Europe and Amer
lea
Beyond this is the final fact that
the whole standard of life is lowered
because the resources of the country
do not suffice for the adequate main
tenance of the millions who are striv.
ing to live

WHY
Idle Word Is Something to Be
Guarded Against

The idle word that stings Is as old
as human speech. Spoken thought-
lessly or spoken in moment of irri-
tation, 1t says more than. the speaker
meant. AT least it says more than he
would have said If he had taken sec
ond thought. Too often in hasty
moment one who really would not for
worlds cause lasting hurt does just
that because he reaches for the first
remark taat will register.
These iG'e words go deep, deep into
the heart AID memory of the one to
whom they are addressed. If he tends
to brood. he reflects: But he could
not have said that, even in hasty
moment. If 1t had not been the real
thought of his heart. That is the way
he thinks Of me- Sometimes such
thonglltless saying embitters part
oil d whole life, alters friendship that
has been held very dear, continues to
exact its cest years after the speaker
has forgotten it,
There Is no way of reaching this
harm by laws and courts. There is
no way OF resolving that one will
never say the thing that causes need
less hurt, except by resolving to build
up a habit in ones life of saying only
kindly things until quiet reflection
has shown the need of something else.
This is not u text for weaklings, II

being trodden upon. 1t Vas not

PAINT WILL HELP MACHINERY
Certain Metal Parts Which Endure
Much Longer If Treated-Red
Stands Weather Fine.

Whether you store your machinery
or not, there are certain metal parts.
like rods, braces and other pieces,
which would endure longer and save
many breakdown If paint We're ap.
piled to them. A good barn paint will
do, and red is color that stands the
weather fine. If another shade is de
sired to harlnonize with other parts OF
not to be so conspicuous, this colol
can be toned down or changed. There
may be fine cracks in metal tina,
escape the eye, but they take in mois
ture and rust forms in there. Paint
would cover them up safely. Freezing
helps to weaken such places when
unprotected.

SOIL CONDITIONS ON
NIGHT MPERATURES
Sandy Loans Store Up More
Heat During the Day.
Land In Use Should Be Well Drained
Of Surplus Moisture to Avoid Dan
ger of Formation Of lnjur-
Gus Frosts.

tPrepared by the United States Department
of Agricu!ture)
A relation has been shown to exist
between tie temperature Of the soil
and the ensuing minimum temperature
Of the air Immediately above. says the
weather bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Low nlght-air temperatures in gar
den and truck farms ma. often be pre-
vented by the selection of soil IN
which there is u sandy component, as
sand and sandy lo,tins generally store
up more heat during the day than do
most other soils ana give off more in
the night time by conductlOn to the
air above, thus diminishing the prob
ability of critical temperatures and
the formation of damaging frosts. The
land In use should be well drained of
surplus moisture, as wet soils are in
variably cold soils and more suscepti-
Bile to frost damage. Any soil, whetli-
er ii be sand, loam, or clay, Is warmer
when it is clean and free from weeds
md unnecessary vegetation.
Frost may form on one side Of
street and not on The other or in one
5ection of a level farm and not in an
other. for one or more of several rea-
Sons, such as difference III soils, slight
difference in elevation in moisture, or
in kind and extent of surface covering,
Or the amount of insulation received.
Frost may appear in sections which
have wet cold soils covered With
heavy vegetation or uncultivated,
while on the same night and under
ehe same meteorological conditions it
does not form ON other ground close
by where the soil is relatively dry,
warm, and clean.

WHY the Ocean La Salt.

The sea is salt because salt is a
;iii"rnl wlic.i prevails largely in the
earth. and which, being soluble in
water, is taken up by the ocean. All
lakes and rivers hold GONE degree of
saline matter, which they contribute to
the ocean. When the sun evaporates
the water in the sea, the salt is left
behind. This vapor forms clouds and
the earth. and carries more saline min,
erals to the ocean. In this way the
ocean has become far more salty than
lakes and rivers.

WHY WASHING INJURIES EGGS
Pores Of Shell Are Sealed With Gelat
lnous Matter and Water Seems
to Dissolve It.

TO retain the keeping qualities OF
eggs, do not wash them. The pores
of the shell are sealed naturally with
II gelatlnous substance. Water seems
to dissolve this substance allowing
air to be admitted through the pores
of the shell into the egg. Then de
composition Of the egg begins. Wash
ing also has tendency to harden the
shell This permits too much mos
ture to escape and this !sjres the
vitality of the egg.

Wrong Anatomically.

An interesting controversy Is being
revived In Coventry, England. The
ancient arms of the city show an ee
phant with his knees at the back of
his hind legs, as in the case of horse,
whereas an elephant can kneel like n
man. 1t is pointed out that as the de
signer of the arms has burdened the
elephant with castle he might have
allowed the animal to take his rest
naturally.

How roothache May 3. Abolished.

Toothache may be abolished by the
investigations of three English physi-
clans, Professor Mcintosh, DR.. War
wick James and DR.. =. L. Barlow, who
have succeeded in identifying two spe.
cial bacilll that cause the Impairment
Of teeth, the real originators of tooth
ache. The bacteria germs were located
by applying to the enamel of teeth
the acids produced by the various
hacilli found in the cavities of the
mouth. Most of these could not live
in acids which were strong enough to
infect the enamel and finally these two
were found that possessed that capac
ity and may therefore be assumed to
be the real reason for decayed teeth

HOW
BEETLE WAS vENERArED
BY ANCIENT EGYPTIANS.

BEETLE WAS NENERAIEl)
BY ANCIENT EGYPTIANS.
The Egyptian scarab or scar
abaeus--Which, whether as
carved stone, an engraved stone,
or as u hieroglyph, represents
beetle, had an important con-
nection with ancient Egyptian
religions. The beetles egg was
compared by the Egyptians to
the sun; and at HeliUpolis, the
temple of the sun, this beetle
was sacred to the sun-god. The
scarab (stone beetle) and the
scarabaeus hieroglyph drawing
or engraving of beetle) were
used, apparently, as symbols of
immortality (the idea probably
being that though the beetle died
it lived again in its egsJ. Some
times the scarabaeus appeared
with a rams head and horns or
with wings outstretched-as the
symbol of vivtfying soul. In
Egypt 1t became customary to
wrap UP with mummiiied body
large scarab having engraved
on it chapter from the Book
of the Dead; or TO place a
winged scarab on the nummy's
breast--while later on the Gus
tom was to place number of
scarabs about the mummy's
body. Scarabs not uncommonly
We're used in Egypt for seals, ap-
pearing either as simple seals, or
(pierced as beads to be strung
together and form necklaces.
Scarabs were also set as seals
in finger-rings. The seal scara-
baei occasionally had good luck
notices engraved on them. Some
of the most important and val
liable scarabs known are the
ones having on them the royal
arms of various ancient Egypt
Ian kings or pharaohs.
