It’s the baby’s basket. . This custom of carrying baby, has .ket and all on theâ€"head, is a custom .of the Baralcng tribe in South Africa. The basket is made of reeds, bound around with goat‘s skin. The inside, (however, is thickly laid with dcwny‘ feathers, so that baby has a 'beautiv fully soft nest.

So long as a horse is working water in moderate quantities will not hurt_him. But let him drink only a few swallows if he is going to stand still. When he comes in after work sponge off the harness marks and ’s'weat,his eyes, his nose, and mouth, and the .dock. Wash his feet, but not his'legs. If the thermometer is seventy-five degrees or higher, wipe hm all over with a wet sponge. Use vinegar water, if possible. Do not turn the hose on him. _ ' Saturday night, give a bran mash, cold; and add a tablespoonful of salt- petre.

EITAY EATEW'BYWWITIKN'S Was Considered a “Delicacy by a Num- like ,’ ber of Tribes .i‘ There have been several tribes of ' Indians in merica that in times past were given to eating earth as food. The Pawnees used to prefer a yellow- ish clay, which they shaped, into little 1 balls that were allowed to dry in the air and were then slowly‘roasted at the open fire. When_,the clay attained a red color the balls were removed, moistened with water and teaten. These clay balls were especially liked when served in connection with fish, and seem to have promoted digestion. The Timmen Indians of the Mac- kenzie River used torresort to earth as food in times of famine. They dug out the Clay found in the hollows along the banks of'the river. In prosperous years they chewed the clay as a delicacy. ' The Apaches mixed powdered clay in their meal before baking this into their rude loaves of bread. The Indians in the uplands of Bolivia ate. a light clay thatis nearly white in color; this .they used either .raw or in the form of cakes of'various shapes, which were sold in the mar: ket places. They also prepared a sauce with the clay; this they ate with boiled potatoes. ' Among the negroes} of the Guinea coaSt, as Well as ameng those in -'West Africa, the eating of dirt is very common. The natives of'the Soudan dig. their 'favorite clay from between layers of sandstone in the banks of the, rivers. The natives of Java pre- pare their cakes of clay containing ochre; these are sold in the'public markets; I How illuslc‘l'ah's Are Produced, .

When England began to get its musl- cians, and to take its musical stand- , ards from the Continent, the popular vmusic was shamed out of existence, land .the. race of English musicians died the death. » In Germany, in Italy, . .m -..._.._._.I- _.,_. _- ................... ..._.. -._...__-_._om...._....n._..._,w..m..o.-eâ€"â€"-â€"unmmamm ~ ZWE‘JKWW , ,m3mw a _ u, REBEL CHIEF'S BRIDE This beautiful girl was cashier in a clothing store at Torreon, Mexico, where she came under the eye-of Y General Villa. The famous rebel forcibly married her in true bandit fashion and drove off in the finest carriage available. The girl seem- ed quitereconciled by the time the triumphant procession was ready to start. ' imilarity of Wood ’ In Southern Russia and Trans- caucasia, the forests are very similar in composition to those of southern Canada and the United States. Of the hardwoods, beech and oak are the most important species, the former forming vast forests on the slopes of the Caucasus Mountains. Scotch pine, Oriental spruce and Niordmann fir rank first among the conifers. The latter sometimes attains a height of 150 feet and a diameter of eight feet, be- ing much superior in size and quality of wood to the balsam fir, or “balsam,” of eastern Canada. ' _ Magistrate on Diet On the question of diet there is a tendency to go astray by neglecting the simple and more wholesome dishes, said Mr.- D. Lleufer Thomas (stipendiary ofv' Pontypridd) in a speech at Femdale Secondary School. Children should have plenty‘ of ‘green vegetables, a wholesome parsnip, and .that great delicacy, a boiled onion. l (Laughter). Then, again, there was lno greater delicacy than a herring, ,- ‘ if a child could be persuaded to eat it. Care of Books . I .

EXTEl-él' 0F FISHEREES Canada's industry is the Most Exteri; ‘ sive in the World ,To say that Canada possesses tb most extensive fisheries in the worli 'is no exaggeration; moreover, it 1 safe to add that the waters in an around Canada contain the .princip; commercial food fishes in greate abundance than the waters of an, other part of the world. The extra: ordinary fertility of what may be ca: led our own waters is abundant}: proved by the fact that, apart tron salmon, all the lobsters, herring, mac- kerel and sardines, nearly all the had dock, and many of the cod, bake, anc' pollock landed in Canada are take. from within our territorial waters The coast line, of the" Atlantic pro vinces, from the Bay of Fundy 'tothr; Straits of Belle Isle, without taking into account the lesser bays and in- dentations measures over 5,000 miles; and along this great stretch are to be found innumerable natural har- bors and Coves, in many of which valuable fish are taken in considerable Aquantitirs with little efiort.
