BIXLER'S NEW DISEASE.
He Discovered He Waa Suffering; from
Brain Desiccation.
Bixler was a little worried the other
night about his health. Bixler is always
discovering new diseases. If all his dis
coveries were real he would be honey
combed with ailments. His neaitn
would be as undermined as a beetling
cliff whose base has yielded to the en
croachments ,pf the salty tide. -
This beautiful sentence is taken irom
an after-dinoer speech made by Bixler
himself at a complimentary banquet to
GoL Pike Wabash, who moved to Okla-.
noma last year for divers reasons, ine
beetlinc cliff didn't have anything in
particular to do with the Colonel's de
parture, but it sounded well and seemed
to create an impression. . ,
One of the guests came to Bixler ai-
terward and said: "I wish I had your
command of language, old boy." Bixler
slightly blushed. "Do you?" he said.
Yes," replied the guest, "ir i naa your
gift of gab and a lot or loose inpie-
jointed words I'd stand a little more
show when I tried to talk pack io my
wife."
Well, the night that Bixler felt so
much worried he got the idea into his
head that, he might be amiciea wnu
brain desiccation. Hehad seen some
thing of this kind mentioned In the
press and it preyed on his mind. When
you have brain desiccation your brain
or what passes for It dries up and
your skull shrinks at the same time. It
Isn't a nice trouble and Bixler worried
over it a good deal.
Malor Crumpet came over to can mat
evening, aud when the Major calls the
whist table is always brought out, ana
the Major and Bixler and Mrs. B. and j
Mrs. B.'s maiden sister, Matilda, play- J
ed duplicate. Well, Bixler simply
played a shocking game. He couldn't :
see trump signals, he- blocked his part
ner's long suit and pretty soon the Ma
jor went home In a rage.
The next morning when tJixier put
i his hat he was horrified to find it
loose. Now he knew what ailed him the
night before. Now he knew what had
ailed him for days back. He was af
flicted with brain desiccation.
The hat kept getting bigger all the
way downtown and pretty soon Bixler
had difficulty in keeping It away from
his ears. He was a desperate man
when he reached the office.
And then his telephone bell rang.
"Is that vou. Bixler? Say, this is the
Major. Yes, Major Crumpet. Don'fyou
know the voice? Say, Bixler, what do
you mean by having such a ridiculous
ly small head? I'll bet it's only a child's
Biz. I carried your hat nome tast. mgui
and it stood up on my head like a collar
box on a yellow pumpkin. I suppose
you brought my hat down. Well, stay
there until I can bustle your over.
That's all."
And when Bixler hung up the re
ceiver, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
he actually smiled.
THE NEW STAR." .
Some Unexpected ana very ourums
Chaoses Detected.
A little over a year ago the most re
markable "new or temporary star" of
modern times appeared In the constel
lation Perseus. The star was not In
any catalogue, and two days before dis
covery it was not bright enough to be
shown on a photographic plate of the
region containing stars which have but
one-hundredth of the light given out by
the faintest star visible to the naked
eye. On Feb. 23, two days after tne
discovery, It reacuea its greater
brightness, when it was as Drignt as
Capella, the third star in order of
brightness in the whole heavens. It
waned slowly and with several well
marked fluctuations In Its light, and -in
two months was on the limit of visibil
ity with the naked eye. It Is still easily
visible in telescopes of small size. Dur
ing its decrease in brightness It changed
color from white to dull rea, ana is now
somewhat greenish in tint The spec
trum was at first continuous, such as is
given by the light from a glowing solid
or liquid body or from a gas under
pressure; then bright bands were
formed, which later assumed the form
and position of the bands In the spectra
of nebulae. All these changes were ex
pected, as they followed closely the his
tory of similar stars in recent years.
But within a few months most unex
nected and startling changes have oc
curred which have made the star once
more the chief object of Interest In the
sky. The nebula which surrounds the
star, or Into which the star has been
changed, has been successfully photo
graphed at several observatories which
are equipped with telescopes of great
power, and it contains several centers
of condensation whose positions are
shifting so rapidly that their motion
can be detected in photographs taken
but several days apart Careful at
tempts to determine the parallax of the
star shows that it is inappreciable; the
star, therefore, is at a very great dis
tance from the earth. There seems to
be no doubt that the actual motion in
the nebula is greater than anything
heretofore detected. The velocity must
be as great as that which light travels
and the nature of such a motion Is as
mysterious as that of light Itself.
Already the theories which attempt
to account for the birth and life history
of the various bodies In the universe
are being remodeled to include these
newly discovered facts, and the new
theories will probably suffer later re
jection when more facts are found
which conflict with them. The mys
teries of the universe -become more un
fathomable the deeper we are permit
ted to explore them, and as knowledge
Increases the extent of that which still
remains to be explained increases also.

THE BORROWING NEIGHBOR.
Salutary
Treatment Which Effected
i Permanent Care. ..
People who are continually borrow
ing household utensils and neglect to re
turn them are annoying neighbors. The
problem of. how to cure them of the
habit was solved in an effective though
somewhat costly way by one long-suffering
householder. Here are the facts:
Anew man had moved into the neigh
borhood. One of the first things he
did, after getting his goods into the
house, was to borrow a pair of steps
frdm Mrv Smith, who lived next door.
Then he borrowed a hammer, a hatch
et, a screw-driver and a gimlet, all of
which things Mr. Smith, being an ac
commodating man, allowed him to
take, and all of which the borrower
promised to returnJ'in a brace of
shakes." - -- -
Several days .passed, and none of the
articles had been returned. ' -
. "I'll cure him." said Mr. Smith.
About a week later the man came
back with the screw-driver, and apolo
gized for having kept it so long. "v
"That's all right," said Mr. Smith,
with a genial smile, "but you had bet-H
ter keep it now. I have bought anoth
er." ; . ' " '
With a muttered , apology the new
neighbor hurried back, and returned
with the eimlet the hatchet and the
hammer. ;
"You are welcome to those," said Mr.
smith cordially. "I have bought some
others, and don't need them."
"But " "
"That's all right You keep them.
They'll come handy .about the house."
Again the man hurried away, and
was returning with the steps when Mr.
Smith, who was lust going out. met
him. . -
Why, bless me," he said, "you need
not bring the steps back! I have got a
new pair."
The man kept the things, but he nev
er borrowed anything more or air.

In commercial circles in a Western city,
who was relating the experiences or a

"My father was a missionary in those

One Cow Skin.
An Intsance of military thrift and of
red-tape system which is not pecu
liar to Germany cqmes from the Prus
sian war office. In lSGtt the guards
were breakfasting hurriedly. They had,
on the previous day, "fought the battle
of Soor, and had accomplished, alto
gether, a nine days march. Urns was
not the era of canned meats, and to
each regiment had been allotted a cer
tain number of cattle, which had been
killed, skinned and cooked; but while
the men were still eating, scouts came
in with the news that the Austrians
were near at hand.
The men got Into marching order,
and in a few minutes were in rapid
advance toward the enemy. The Gren
adier Guards, conspicuous always for
their dispatch, hurried to such purpose
that they failed to secure the skin of
a cow which had been made over to
them for rations.
When the official who was responsi
ble for the value of the hide came to
ask for it, it had to be reported missing.
Inquiries were .set on foot, evidence
was collected, ana a voluminous cor
respondence lasting fourteen or fifteen
months failed to account for the skin.
There had been a cow. She had been
made over to the guards. She had a
hide. The hide was government prop
erty, representing a sum fixed by offi
cial tariff. The government mast., be
credited with that sum. The hide was
not forthcoming. Who should be re
sponsible for its cash value?
It was at last decided that the colo
nel of the regiment should be held re
sponsible, and a year and a half after
the conclusion of the Seven Weeks
War he was requested by the war of
fice to remit the sum of three thalers,
the price of one cow skin lost by the
Grenadier Guards. - When the sum was
paid, the subject was at last officially
dropped. ' ,
Insect Food.
Those who object to eating meat ai

equally hostile to vegetarianism. A
French entomologist, M. Dagin, has
discovered a compromise which he cor
dially recommends In the shape of in
sect' food. He speaks on tbe subject
with authority,-'having tasted sereral

broiled, roasted and hashed insects."
But the most popular insect food of all,
he declares. Is locust flour, which the
Bedouins take' boiled in milk or fried
and served with rice. .

A FARMER'S EXPERIENCE.
How Many Bundles Can You Bind for a
Dollar?
To the Editor: Dear Sir I noticed
in your last issue an article headed
"Points on Binding Twine," in which
you call attention to the fact that the
farmer should figure on how many feet
he gets for a dollar. Anyone, without
much thought, would know that is the
important thing, and still we overlook
it, being caught by the old bait of
cheap .price. It is not a question
whether the twine costs 10 cents a
pound or-20 cents a pound, but the es-
Beutial point is how many bundles can
we bind for a dollar.
Last year I was deceived in thinking
that the Standard Manila was a Manila
twine that would go 600 feet to the
pound, -which impression I got. from
the dealer, although he may. not posi
tively have stated that as a fact, but.
one thing I'do know is that the result
at the end of harvest was that the total
cost of my twine was more, although it
was less in price per pound than it for
merly had been when I used the " Red
Clover Leaf brand of Twiue, which we
all know costs more per pound, but
which I am now convinced is the
cheapest and most satisfactory in the
end.- We have air used it for a good
many years with pretty general satis
faction, but, in this as in other things,
we feel that it is necessary to make a
change, in order, as we imagine, to bet
ter our condition, and most generally
find that the change does not accom
plish what we expected.
The Manila twine, being cheaper per
thousand feet than Sisal, from patriotic
motives we ought to use it, as all the
Manila fiber in the world is produced
in the Philippine Islands, and it is cer
tainly to the intereet of the Pacific
Coast farmer to develop trade with that
country as much as possible, and I
have read that all the Sisal comes from
Yucatan, with which country we can
have no trade from this coast, and as
long as it does not cost us anything to
be patriotic and trade with our own. col
onies, why shouldn t we do it?
