PAGE, TWO WHAT BRAN DING MEANS. How the Horse Feels Burial: the , ' horns would otherwise ‘ range of vision. “ hinddening Process. Â¥ Now, most steers and all horses ob- :ect to the branding process, says Sew- ell Ford in “Horses Nine.” spiritless little Indian ponies, accus- tomed to many ingenious kinds of abuse, rebel at this. A meek eyed mule, on whom humility rests as an all covering robe, must be properly roped before submitting. » In branding they first get a rope over your neck and shut on your wind. ‘ Then they trip your feet by roping your fore legs while you are on the ‘ lump. This brings you down hard and with much abruptness. A cowboy sits ; on your head while others pin you to . the ground from various vantage , points. Next some one holds a redhot iron on your rump until it has sunk deep into your skin. That is branding. The burn of a branding iron is sup- posed to heal almost immediately. Cowboys will tell you that a horse is always more frightened than hurt dur- ing the operation and that the day aft- er he feels none the worse. All this you need not credit. A burn is a burn, whether made purposely with a brand. in: iron or by accident in any other , Way. The scorched flesh puckers and smarts. It hurts every time a leg is , moved. It seems as if a thousand _ needles were playing a tattoo on the exposed surface. Neither is this the worst of the busiâ€" ; ness. To a high strung animal the rop- ing, throwing and burning are a tre- ; mendous nervous shock. For days aft~ ‘ or branding a horse will jump and start, quivering with expectant agony, ! at the slightest cause. f ________â€"â€"-â€"â€" l l Even the , ; son of the serpents they were The musk ox, how- ever, does not seem to rely greatly on ’ keenness of sight, far less on sentences of hearing, for the ears are of small , dimensions and are completely covered I l l by the heavy growth of fur about them.

The inâ€" ! oculation was made with the venom tooth of a viper and the bulb of a na- tive plant called mano del sapo (toad's hand). The preventive inoculation has been an old custom among the natives of that region. A Suggested Cure. “Your son,” said the phrenologist to the anxious parents, “will become a poet some day." Here the father interrupted. with an air of deep concern. “But don’t you i think we could cure him now u we could whack the poetical bump with a sledgehammer or something like that?" â€"# A Disgrace to His Race. “Will I go r-round an' shake hands with th’ prizeflghter?" be repeated. “Niverl He’s an Irishman an’ a dis. gra-ace to his native land; no lies." . “How is that?” THE CRY FOR SLEEP. numbernefcreaterw. hue-mum In‘, ‘ofBlee_rp"is1u'hlt'l pendsonboth, butwoeattosleep. whilewesleeptolive.

It is undoubtedly true that Napoleon, an inconceivably foolish, reckless man in matters at- fecting his physical welfare, did do- prive himself of sleep in his early years. but he paid for it dearly. In his last battles his power of resistana was so slight that he actually went . sleep during the fighting. Chronic drowsiness weakened his brain, weak- ened his force of character. The foun- dation of his downfall was laid in Bus- sia. when lack of sleep and unwise liv- ing generally had taken away his m.- tal elasticity, deprived him of all pow- er to form and carry out resolutions and resulted in his final ruin. ’ 'eur Ways to Health.

Its origin is amus- ' ing. Many years ago a French jour- nalist contributed to the French press an experiment of which he declared ‘ himself to have been the author. Twenty ducks were placed together, and one of them, having been cut up into very small pieces, was g1utton-, ously gobbled up by the other nine- teen. Another bird was then sacrificed for the remainder and so on until one duck was left, which thus contained‘ in its inside the other nineteen! This the journalist ate. The story caught , on and was copied into all the newspa- pers of Europe. And thus the “canard” became immortalized. The Eyes of the Musk 0:.

A Dream and a Reality. An Irishman and a Scotchman once went traveling through a western prai. rie. It happened that one afternoon they shot a single quail, which would do for the breakfast of one of them on the following morning. Knowing that the bird was not enough for two, they agreed to have it eaten by the one who should have the best dream during the night. When they woke early in the morn- ing, the Irishman said to the Scotch- man, “An’ phwat did you durum. San- d1?” “Well," answered the Scot, “I dream- ed that I saw a beautiful basket de- scend from heaven, and then I got into it and was borne up to paradise. “An’ I dr-reamed," said the Irishman, “that I saw you goin’ up an’ thought you wouldn’t come back. an' so I ate ‘ the quail." Heaven a Home of Wealth. Yeas, they’s life an' happiness a-plenty ’in cheerful labor in the open fields an' a mighty slim chance for the doctor. Why, they’s even wealth in it ef it’s lived right; not riches, maybe, but wealth. Why, the way I read Scripture, it seems to me we're given to understand thet heaven is a home of wealth. “Many mansions" sounds that a-way, I’m shore, an' golden streets shows thet they won’t anything be considered too good for use. An' sometimes I’ve thought thet maybe it meant to give us to understand thet simple riches, like gold, was to be trod underfoot. An’ all the Revelational jewels, why, they seem to be set either in the walls or doors or somewhere, not let loose in piles, to be swapped or squabbled over. No riches to possess, but thess wealth to enjoy.â€"Buth Me Enery Stuart in Century. The Mouths of Leaves. The botanist, the real investigator who has got down to making real ex- plorations for himself, will talk to you about the thousands of minute sto- mates on the surface of a leaf. These invisible stomates are really the mouths through which the leaves take in carbonic acid. They are most abun- dant on the upper surface of leaves. Each is an oval opening guarded by a pair of lips which open and close ac cording to requirements. They vary from less than 1,000 to more than 20,- 000 to the square inch of leaf surface. A Graceful Compliment. Some famous compliments have been paid to members of the sterner sex, and one of the most gracefully turned was that uttered by Boileau. who, when the virtuous De Mesmee, presi- dent of the parliament of Paris, was elected an academiciau, congratulated him in these terms: “I have come to you, sir. in order that you may con- gratulate me on having you for one of my fellow academicians."
