where the Hindus hold some cattle
sacred, beef production and con-
sumption are relatively low, al
though India boasts twice as many
cattle, including water buffalo, as
does the United States.
In general, the countries and the
continents with the largest human
populations are also those with the
largest numbers of cattle and hogs.
Asia, for example, with half the hui
man population of the globe, also
numbers at least third Of the cat
tie and about a third Of the hogs.
And China, which enjoyed sausage
and perhaps also roast pork thou
sands of years ago, recently pos
sessed practically twice as many
hogs as this country had. Europe,
with about a fourth of the worlds
people, has perhaps a fifth Of its
cattle and a fourth of its hogs.
1t is now more than 400 years
since Columbus crossed the Allan
tic, but with all our modern growth,
the combined population of North
and South America today is still
less than half of that of Europe and
only about a fifth of that of Asia.

Donkey Was Responsible
For Finding Silver Mines

Kelogg's Jack, a diminutive but
thoroughbred jackass, was response
BILE for the discovery a few decades
ago Of two silver mines in the Occur
d'Alene mountains of northern Ida
no that were worth $4,000, 900.
The story is that the 'jack,"
whose head was nearly as large as
its body, was the pack animal for
N. S. Kellogg, Phil O'Rourke and
Con Sullivan when the trio went
prospecting up a creek near the Null
Ian road, one Of the first military
routes through Idaho.
One night when the small party
made camp they turned the ami
NAL loose to Craze. In the morn
ing it was not in sight, but the trail
was found easily. Kellogg and his
partners followed it.
Finally they emerged into COM
paratively clear canyon and spotted
the Jack on a hillside. 1t seemed
to be on a point like a dog. Ad-
vancing they said they saw the an
imal gazing intently at a broad
splash Of mineralized rock, which
proved to be a slab Of rich galena.

Mexican Shrub Yields
Vegetable Whale OH

Nature sometimes turns up sur
prising things for the researcher,
and when one needed product be-
comes scarce a substitute often Is
found.
This is strangely true in the mat
ter Of whale oil. An oil similar to
whale oil now is produced from the
seed of a shrub found In Arizona,
the lower part Of California and
Mexico. It is known by a variety of
names, the wild hazelnut, the sheep
nut and the goat nut. The Mexicans
know it as the jojoba, which is pro-
nounced much more softly as no.
hoba.
1t is a distant relative of the bet
ter-known and thickly branched box
wood, although it is dioecious-that
is, the male and female flowers are
borne on separate plants. Only fe-
male plants bear the nuts from
which the liquid wax comes.
The nut itself is not rare. For
centuries it has been relished by the
Indian tribes inhabiting the area,
and even the oil, which had not
previously been analysed, has been
used commercially as a hair tonic.
The seed is egg-shaped and ridged,
and as a rule Is about one-hah inch
long and three-eighths Of an inch
thick.
Twenty-Five pounds Of the nuts
were gathered in Sonora, Mexico,
and shipped to a commercial feed
firm In St. Louis. Then they were
sent to the bureau of chemistry,
where the oil was extracted from
the seed. It was found that these
seeds yielded 51.2 per cent Of light
yellow oil.
The testing Of this oil started In
the usual way. First they treated
the oil with strong all1ali solution
as In soapmaking. Vegetable oils
under this treatment yield a soap
and glycerin, but jojoba oil yielded
only about so per cent of soap and
about so per cent Of a yellow oil.

WELCOME Halls
OIENS GRO.-6

True to expectations the clash
between the Welcome Hall and
Oien's Grocery eleven in the St.
Paul Municipal Football League
proved a virtual dog fight Saturday
at Dunning. However, due to the
wet condition of the field both
teams had to center most of their
efforts on a strong defense after
having had their running games
checked.
Nevertheless the Hall boy
seemed to have had a decided adj
vantage in the line due largely to
the efforts of Sam Lynch and Har-
old Brown. The Hall flash, Cotton,
was not able to get going in the
mud, but Stergun blasted through
the line for substantial gains and
the score.
The Hall chalked up 6 first
downs to 8 for Oiens; however, the
Halls had to come from behind in
the closing minutes of the game
to tie up the score. The play was
a beautiful off-tackle smash with
Stergun carrying the ball over his
own right tackle with only As sec
onds to play. Tabor's try for extra
point failed.

Musk and Perfume

Musk is the name originally given
to a perfume obtained from the
strong-smelling substance secreted
In a gland by the musk-deer. This
gland is present beneath the skin of
the abdomen in the male only.
The sac contains a dark brown SUBJ
stance Of the consistency Of moist
ened gingerbread. To obtain the
perfume the animal Is killed and
the gland completely removed and
dried. 1t appears in commerce as
either musk in the pod" that Is in
the whole gland, or musk in grain"
in which the perfume has been ex-
tracted. Good musk Is Of a dark
purplish color, dry. smooth and unc-
tuous and bitter In taste. Its
scent is not only more penetrating
but more persistent than that Of
any other known substance.

No Help Needed?

Some people believe in doing

a garden hose. Have you called

liadole.c or eicosenoie' acid, the prin-
ciple acid present in this soap, has
never before been found, except per-
haps in very small amounts, in any
vegetable oil. AS its name indi-
Gates, it is closely related to oleic
acid; which is a usual constituent
of vegetable oils, but gadoleic acid
has 20 carbon atoms in its molecule,
while oleic acid has only 10 carbons
in its molecule. The results of these
tests, in which the component parts
finally were separated, showed the
difference between joioba and all
ordinary vegetable oils. NJ

emption allowable in the case of q couple who were married and living together during the entire year may not exceed $2,500.
 If a child under Is years of age and dependent on the parent for support reaches the age of 18 years during the taxable year, the credit of $400 for a dependent is required to be prorated in the same manner as the personal exemption. For ex- ample. should the child's eighteenth birthday fall on June 30, the parent would be entitled to claim S200 credit for the dependent child-that is, one-half of $400. The same rule applies to other dependents where a change of status occurs during the taxable year.

 INCOME
 RETURNS

Taxpayers should note that under
 the Revenue Act of 1888 the credit for dependents as well as the per-
 sonal exemption is required to be
 prorated where change of status
 occurs during the taxable year, and that these credits are allowable not
 only for the purpose of computing
 the normal tax but also the surtax. A fractional part of a month is to be disregarded unless it amounts to more than half month, in which case it is considered a month.
 For example, single man and a single woman who were married on July 20, 1888, and were living to- gether on the last day of the tax able year, may file joint return. If they file their return or returns on the basis of the calendar year, they would be entitled to a personal exemption of $2,208.34. which is seven-twelfths of $1,OOO for the husband while single, plus seven- twelfths of 5000 for the wife while single, plus five-twelfths of $2,50O for the period during which they were married. Nl
 If separate returns are filed, each is entitled to a personal exemption of $1,104.17, which is seven-tw twelfths of $l,000, plus one-half of five twelfths of $2,500. If during the year 1888 the husband or the wife had the status of the head of a family prior to their marriage, he or she would be entitled to his or her prorata share of the personal exemption of $2 800 allowed the head of family for the period prior to l their marriage instead of merely : that allowed single person.
 However, for the period of their marriage any exemption to which either might be entitled as the head l of family would be merged in the joint personal exemption for that period, The joint personal ex-
