C- Over >4 Years’ Experience The Cajuu of southwestern Louisi ana has Ills own particular customs, some of them handed down by his Nova Scotluu ancestors, ethers of more modern invention. Often in naming hie numerous chil dren, he will stick to a single letter. Thus, in a family that has chosen the letter “O," the boys may be Odelon, Oliver, Octave, Ovide, Optah. Otis, Oto; the girls Octavia, Odella, Ophelia. Odlle, Olive, Olita. Olympe, Omeah. This system, though pleasantly allit erative, must result sometimes In con fusion.

Recognizing the thoroughbred as i fixed type of highest quality, resulting from painstaking and careful mutiny to obtain particular results, many stu dents are agreed that the Aiabiui might have been originated und per petuated tn the same way, suys the National Geographic Maguziue. Ou the other hand, the Arabian and the Hurt of northern Africa are so alike, and yet so diatiuct in every possil ir way from the ancient horses of lb. steppes and of the European areas that admirers of the Arabian uud Burb are unwliliug to assign them to any but a distinct classiflcatiou of their own. There have been many hundreds of books written on the horse. A liie- tlme devoted to the study bus brought the conviction thut a large majority of these writings, as fur as examined by me, contained little original mat ter, and that those which muy be re garded aa authoritative must be con aldered in the broad light of recorded history and of scientific discoveries in order to assign a correct value to their conclusions. The preponderance of evidence favors the belief that the Arabian horses were obtained through Egypt, from Libyan tribes of northern Africu, and that by long and careful mating thd superior type of Arabian horse has been maintained through manv centuries. Fine Orcheetra, but Not in Firet Claee Many are the stories prevalent in va rious parts of the British empire to Il lustrate typical American humor. They have an idea over there that we go in largely for size. One of the latest and most characteristic has been wished on to Sir Henry Wood, who relates that at one of his concerts an enthu siastic udiuirer was present with i.n American friend.

Scripture» Say Little of the Barber’s Art The word barber is only ouce meti- t tiled iu the Scriptures, namely, in Ezekiel 5:1, whieh reads: “And thou son of man. take thee a sharp knife take thee a barber's razor, aud cause It to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard. ...” « Although barbers are not expressly mentioned, yet from the constant men tlon of shaving and the Incident of Delilah sending for a man to shave Samson there can be no doubts tliu; his class existed among the ancients. The Hebrews were particularly careful of their head and beard, aud all seem to have applied the razor except the Nazaritea, who were untouched by it from their birth. The Egyptian bar bers were called khak or shavers, and they are represented at work in a tomb of Beni-Hassan, of the Twelfth dynasty, holding their razors In the hand, which have a short cylindrical handle, with a broad, flat blade of bronze on a line with the axis of the handle.

Friend Rover, the pet dog owned by Wal ter Pratt of Buwdulubam, Me., gets along famously with the family cat, and ths cat always sleeps at night between the paws of Rover. One night, after the family had retired. It was aroused by a scratching and a low barking at the front door. When the door waa opened In walked the cat, with one foot caught in a trap; behind came Rover, carefully holding up the chain of the trap. Fur up a neighboring stream trappers had set traps for mudtrats, and Kitty evident ly walked Into one. Rover must huve beard her cry and gone to the rescue, for be had evidently searched, found the trapped kitten and lifted tlie trap from the water; then freeing Ills friend as much as possible, carried the chain all the way home.—New York World. Tree Toad Chango» Color It is a Well-known fact that tree toads or tree frogs can change their color through a considerable rang- from nearly white to nearly black, iu harmony with the surface on who b they are resting. Thus they take uu the hues of the trees and shrubs on which they live. The tree froga form the connecting link between the true frogs and toads. They live chiefly tn trees which they climb by means of their daw-shaped toes. They are small and are more active and brighter In color than true frogs. They utter loud piping noises. Even though these crea tures live in trees they return to the water to lay their eggs. The hind leg* are long as in ordinary frogs, but since they jump very little if at all the muacies of these limbs are slight ly developed.—Pathfinder Magazine. Wood at Polithar I i An Interesting use of rotten wood is In the polishing of tlie fine parts of the highest grade Swiss and French watches. Formerly this material waa more extensively employed than at present, being largely supplanted by machinery and Jlenzine. The escape parts and small screws are still in lurge part polished by hand and rot- ten wood, The value of the rotten wood used annually in Switzerland for this purpose is about $4,(MM), the best quulity bringing a price of $1 a pound. What Is wanted Is a yellowish white silky material, soft and spongy, in which the growth rings are still vis ible.—J. 8. Record, In American For ests and Forest Life.

Dr. Albert M. llerre of the bureuu of science ut ua* investigated the reports that there are poisonous fishes In the Islands and »lutes that In many cases they are true. According to Doc tor Herre, the utost violently poison ous species belong to the puffers und porcupine fishes. The poisonous prop erty Is du^ to the presence In various parts of their bodies of u substance chemically similar to t|ie deadliest of the mushroom poisons, •The poison- ous quulity of these fishes Is Well known to all the tribes dwelling Hlong tropical coasts,” says Doctor Herre, "but strange to say there Is hardly a fishing vllluge In the Philippines where there are not foolish or reckless people who eat these fishes.

It all comes to this—Increase the draft and the heat of the pipes and so ennse the smoke to pass out so quickly that It cannot cool and condense in the pipes.—Fam ily Herald. Tomatoes were probably first grown in the Sixteenth cenuiry In Peru. They were grown In an ancient time In Mexico, but they’ did not become an economic fruit until about 100 years ago.
