Infection.
The reading public is by this time
. fairly conversant with the ordinary
sources of danger from contagion to
which it is exposed, and it has been
duly warned to avoid the indiscrimi?
nate use of hair brushes and towels,
and of the ear pieces of the phonograph;
to touch not with ungloved hand the
brass guiding- rail of the street car, and
to be suspicious even of the telephone
transmitter. But, according to a med?
ical journal, the latest hazard in infec?
tion is confined, to children. Many in?
genious toys are now offered on- the
sidewalks of city streets by itinerant
venders. One of these is a tube of pa?
per, furnished with a short piece of
bamboo at one end, up to which it is
coiled by the action of a slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo
the coil is unrolled and shoots out near?
ly a yard, and the sudden extension has
a comical effect, very entertaining to
the youthful mind. Another form of
toy is the miniature bagpipe, which is
made to emit its characteristic sounds
by the pressure of air from a small rub?
ber ball which has been inflated by air
blown from the mouth. Attention is
called to the possible consequences of
buying these toys, which are presented
to a child after being inflated by ques?
tionable breath, and perhaps wetted !
with the moisture of the still more
questionable lips of the vender. An in?
fected mouthpiece has been known to !
be the origin of grave constitutional j
troubles, and it seems strange that per- j
sons who would hesitate to drink out of
a glass that has been used will buy
these toys and take them to their chil?
dren without thought of the disease by j
which they may have been contami
sated. Among the impoverished mak- \
ers and venders, sore throats, diphthc- |
ria and contagious fevers in very early j
stages may be raging, and children may
contract fatal diseases of even a worse
character than any of these by using j
these toys. - _

STORY OF A COIN.
-_ i
Biblical Lore Recalled by a Recent Atys,
s In ian Incident.
The king of Abyssinia has plunged j
into a coinage of his own. The coins
present on the ob*rerse the king's head
with the tiara and the inscription
"Menelek IL, King of Kings of Ethi?
opia.*' On the reverse is a crowned
ilea holding in his paw a crown with
the legend "Conquering Lion of the
Tribe of Judah." Do you know what
that means? If not, read this veracious
history which no Abyssinian ventures
to disbelieve The queen of Sheba was
queen of Abyssinia. After her famous
journey to Jerusalem she had a son,
whose name was Menelek, and whose
father was none other than the great
King Solomon himself. Now, when
Prince Menelek grew to manhood, he
resolved on going to see the city of his j
father. Therefore he started OE this j
long journey with a great escort of j
soldiers and a following of camels
bearing1 presents. When he approached
Jerusalem, the people, who knew not
his history, flocked forth to see the
gallant young prince, and because he j
was like King Solomon they followed
him into the city, crying that the old
king had beeu restored to youth. The j
new king, presumably Rehoboam, I
hearing their shouts in the streets,
was naturally alarmed, nnd held coun- j
eil with his wise men and ancients as j
to whether he should instantly bow- ;
string the visitor as a pretender, or re- j
ceive him with the hospitality due to a i
friendly because distant prince.
Fortunately for the Abyssinian royal j
descent, the latter counsel prevailed,
and Prince Menelek was graciously i
permitted to present his gifts and to J
see the splendors of the temple and the j
palace. When the time came for his
departure he requested one boon-an !
exact model of the Ark of the Covenant
and its sacred contents. This was j
granted him But behold! There was j
a certain priest of the temple named
Isaac, who greatly loved Prince j
Menelek for his resc-r^blence to his ;
father, and was resolved to go with
him. he and all his family, into Abys?
sinia. Now, on the eve of departure, j
he cast by magic the watchman of the
temple into a deep sieep, and then he j
exchanged the model of the ark for the
ark itself. And the ark itself, with its '
contents, he carried off into Abyssinia, ;
where it remains to the present day in j
the cathedral, and a copy of it stands
in every church in Abyssinia. And as ;
for the ark which Jeremiah hid away, !
and which lies still in thc vaults of the :
temple, that is only the copy. And
now you understand why the king j
places on his coins an effigy of the
"Conquering Lion of the Tribe of
Judah."-London Queen.
The Silo.
The silo is especially desirable for ;
.he south. We can make more green
corn or sorghum per acre than any !
northern state, because the plants !
grow much larger, und we have land
so rich that sorghum may be grown
almost as thick as the hair on a dog.
On account of our long, hot and usual?
ly dry summers, the stalks and blades
Soon dry up after the seed matures,
and then it becomes comparatively
worthless as fodder. These crops, '?
and many others, can be cut '
clean from the ground and made
into silage and kept indefinitely, with
:ts digestibility increased, and its nu
tritive constituents nearly a>, good as
when cut. The silage system will
utilize a large amount of food now
wasted, except for its value to the soil,
v?hich is but little. We must give up :
our wasteful practices on the farm.
With the best possible economy-noth- ;
ing wasted that can be put to a good
use-we have a hard time climbing the |
slippery hill of prosperity. Our cus- i
tom has been to plant, cultivate and j
harvest our corn crops, s im pl y taking |
the ears, and if weather and inclina?
tion suits, a few blades, and letting
more tha? half the crop dry up and
blow away. Silos will save the entire
crop.-Farm and Ranch.
