"MAIL ORDER"
Cream Separators
When you buy a cream separator you want thai
best machine you can get for the money, don't you?
Well, then, just listen to this proposition:
Before you order a "mail order" separator write
to the concern and tell them that you want to try
their machine out against a De Laval, with the priv
ilege of sending their machine back if you decide
that the De Laval is better worth what we ask you
for it than their machine is worth what they ask.
That's absolutely fair, isn't it?
We'll be glad to furnish you a De Laval for such
a trial any time you like and let you be the judge.
Wo lira nUA r tpjiVp this offer because we

A MARVELOUS FENCE.
Tha Story of Australia's War Upon th
( Rabbit Pest.
The havoc that rabbits have
wrought in Australia has cost the
country millions of dollars. Until u
few years ago, however, the western
part of the continent, protected by
a bulwark of seemingly impassable
desert, was free from the pest. Then
one day a solitary rider on the edge
of the arid land saw something scut
tle across his path. It was the ad
vance scout of a vast invading army
of rabbits. The government im
mediately determined to build a
1,200 mile fence to shut out the
devastating horde. .
This fence, says the Wide World
Magazine, is the longest that has
ever been constructed. It traverses
an inhospitable country where for
miles and miles there is no timber,
where the rain may fall once a year,
or perhaps not at all for three years.
It was necessary to carry materials
for the fence and supplies for the
workmen hundreds of miles in carts
and on camel back. The work had
to be pushed with feverish haste,
for countless thousands of rabbits,
pressing westward steadily, were
eating the country as bare as a city
road.
When the workmen had nearly
finished the barrier, the news came
that the rabbits had rounded the
end. Without hesitation they be
gan a seeond fence 100 miles to the
westward, and hefor.e the farming
region was safely inclosed the two
fences extended over 2,100 miles.
In appearance the barrier resem
bles the woven wire fences that are
seen in all parts of the world. The
netting is stretched between posts
sunk deeply into the ground and
treated with tar to make them less
likely to be destroyed by the white
ants. The lower edge of the netting
is sunk into the ground to prevent
the rabbits from burrowing under
it, and along the top runs a heavy
wire capable of withstanding the
shock of charging kangaroos and
emus.
Without constant attention and
patrolling, however, the fences
would be useless, for outside of
Shorn the rabbits keep ceaseless
watch. A boundary rider patrols
each section of the fence twice a
week, and he carries enough ma
terial and tools to make ordinary re
pairs. In some parts the riders arc
nen on bicycles, in others they are
horsemen, and in the arid districts
the men use camels. There is a sort
of "Hying squad" assigned to each
half dozen sections, and the bound
ary rider can call on them when
the fence is badly broken or when
the incursions of rabbits are especi
ally threatening.
The Boomerang and Its Inventors.
The boomerang is rather a puz
zle. One might think that the high
est laws of mathematics had been
laid under contribution in the per
fecting of it. The convexity on
one side, the flatness on the other
and the sharp, knifeliko edge on
the inside of the convexity have the
air of having been carefully thought
out. Yet the people who invented
this singular weapon cannot count
higher than five and are destitute of
all the arts and amenities of life.
Theirs is perhaps the lowest plane
of human life. Some people have
assumed that the boomerang was
the creation of an older and higher
civilization, but for this there is no
evidence. It must be the product
of an age long empirical use of
throwing weapons. London Spec
tator. An Interesting Memory Test.
Ask any one to draw a representa
tion of a watch face with Hoimm
numbers and you will have plenty
of evidence of the unreliability of
incidental memory. Of 200 persons
examined only eight omitted the
VI from their drawing of the watch
face, and only twenty-one put II II
instead of the more familiar nota
tion, IV. From this it would ap
pear that impeachment of a witness
because of his inability to report
some incidental feature of an event
or scene is not psychologically justi
fied. Case and Comment.
"Hoosit."
A Chicago lady had a Swedish
cook, and she heard this conversa
tion between her cook and the maid
next door, also a Swede.
"How are vou, Hilda?"
"I well. I like my job. We got
cremated cellar, cemetery plumbing,
elastic lights and a hoosit."
"What's a 'hoosit,' Hilda?"
"Oh, a bell rings. You put a
thing to your ear and say, 'Hello,'
find some s.ns 'Hello,' and you 6av
'Hoosit.' "Montreal Herald.

j WHY DO WE SLEEP?
Not to Cur Fatigue,' Says a Soientist,
but to Prevont It.
Most of us suppose that we sleep
because we are exhausted. But
Claparede, the Swiss physiologist,
has advanced a theory to the effect
that we sleep in order to avoid being
exhausted. Dr. Adolf Koelsch in
Die Woche explains this theory by
saying that sleep instead of being
the result of fatigue is an impulsive
self disinfection which the body
conducts in order to get rid of the
waste products before they have
time to produce exhaustion.
Just as combustion of fuel for
the production of heat and energy
is always attended by ashes and
slag, so the slow combustion which
produces heat and energy in the
body by means of metabolic changes
is likewise attended by waste..
"Since the senses never volun
tarily come to rest. or shut them
selves off from the outer world, a
point would eventually' be reached
when the organism would perish as
a victim of general nerve exhaus
tion. In order to hinder this na
ture arranges betimes namely,
beforceoxhaustion can seriously in
jure the organism to set in motion
that opposition current which we
term sleep."
Dr. Koelsch says that the sight
endowed animal tends to take its
sleep at night, since the stimuli
which govern the animal's vital ac
tivities are then cut off. For ani
mals endowed with other special
senses, but not with sight, the night
is not so great a factor. "These
can only blockade stimuli to the
senses either by creeping into some
secluded spot or by the action of
nature in causing an opportune pro
duction of a substance (a sort of
hormone) which acts as an obstacle
by entering the nerve path and
deadening sensibility."
Walt Whitman's Easy Job.
"I used to visit Walt Whitman in
his old age in his little, two story,
wooden house in Mickle street,
Camden," said a Philadelphia edi
tor. "One day it's a pleasant
souvenir, this, of old time Philadel
phia one day in December I said
to him:
" 'Well, Walt, how ar - things go
ing this winter? Any Christmas
subscriptions needed ?'
" 'Xo,' said the old poet. 'No, in
deed. I'm working now. I'm work
ing for George W. Childs. lie pays
me $50 a month.'
"'Good!' said I. 'And what's
your job with Childs?'
"'Kidinsr in the horse cars,' said
Walt. 'I ride about the city, I talk
to the drivers and conductors. I
find out which of them need winter
overcoats, and, guessing their size,
I notify Childs, who fits them out
forthwith. It's easy, pleasant work,
and it saves Childs a lot of trouble
over measurements and so forth.' "
Drought a Blush to Her Cheek.
There was a story told of one of
the world's great vocalists singing
as a young girl at a private house
in London. She was overwhelmed
with praise. By and by she came
and sat by an elderly lady, who con
gratulated her on the way she had
sung, but ventured to ol'.'or one or
two suggestions. The young singer
treated the hints with scorn and
I afterward asked the hostess who
"the old lady was who had dared
to give her suggestions. "Oh, that
was Mine. Goldschmidt," replied
the lady. "And who is Mme. Gold
schmidt?" was the next impatient
query. "Well, she's better known
as Jenny Lind," said the hostess.
And then the singer blushed for
shame at her disdainful reception
of hints from the "Swedish Night-
in;
rale."
Of Two Evils.
The little boy in this story from
"Touche a Tout" was evidently a
firm believer in the old adage, "Of
two evils choose the less." Turn
ing a corner at full speed he col
lided with the minister.
"Where are you running to, my
little man?" asked the minister,
when he had regained his breath.
"Home !" panted the boy. "Ma's
going to spank me."
"What!" gasped the astonished
minister. "Are you eager to have
your mother spank you that you
run home so fast ?" 1
"No," shouted the boy over his
shoulder as he resumed his home
ward flight, "but if I don't get there
before pa, he'll do it!"
His Opinion.
"It seejus to me," ventured
skimpy little Mr. Nennypcck, "that
Trofcssor Peekhead's article advis
ing men to be very careful in their
choice of wives lacks cr well,
verisimilitude, or ah! some such
word. As far as I have ever known,
the man had no more to do with
choosing his wife than he has with
getting his photograph taken he
just keeps still, looks as pleasant B3
lie can and accepts whatever is ,iv
en him." Judge. .
