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

shelflike portion of his home which,
however small, he calls u gallery. In
its way It Is ornamental, the dull red
of the dust standing out against the
dark weuthered gray of the unpalnted
planking behind.
In the better class families the
French proprieties are observed, the

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.

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.

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.

Fish with poisonous flesh are a dan
ger to be reckoned with by dwellers
and travelers iu tho Philippine tropics.
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. Not u year goes
by without several deaths. The poi
son seems to act first on the nerves
of the alimentary canal, and soon
afterward on all the muscles of the
body, giving rise to violent spasms,
during which the patient dies Iu from
one to fiv« hours.”
W'wwping Slot)« Pipa»
Weeping stove pipes, from the

remedy. It la due to Insufficient
draft. The smoke, moving slowly
through the pipes, condenses and the
liquid ao formed oozea out at the
jointa of the plpea. Sometimes hav
ing the pipes on an Incline, upwnrd
to the chimney, will cause the smoke
to pass along more quickly. Some
tíame raising the chimney will In
crease the draft. Some find that a
little opening la the pipe next the
chimney, with a sliding cover, In
creases the draft up the chimney,
whan open, and so cauaea the enioke

this—Increase the draft and the heat
