Traditional Marriage Customs.

After the ceremony the husbarfd dips

Cattle Rock In Kansas.
One of the most interesting works
of nature in Kansas from a geological
standpoint Is known as "Castle Hock."
a natural formation located In Qove
county, ip the valley of the Hack
berry, about ten miles from Its mouth.
This castellated mass is composed of
a coping of limestone and the shaft
of chalk and compact sbale. Its
unique formation was caused by the
shales wearing away, the strongly ce?
mented atone aervlng as a protection
to the upper surface. In this way
mountainous appearing masses are
frequently produced, especially where
streams cat their way through the
bard atone into the softer materials
below. Similar formations are met
with in Ellis county which show isolat?
ed columns which rise from 20 to 70
feet lu height.?Blackmar's History of

Putting Reptiles to Sleep.
Monotonous sensory stimulation, one
southern dealer in alligators has
found, will quickly render the smaller
reptiles unconscious. To demonstrate
his uncanny control of his reptilian
stock In trade, he places one of the
smaller alligators uptn Its back. Kneel?
ing besides it, he holds the wriggling
body with one band, while he gently
strokes the underside of the Jew.
Hack and forth goex the hand until
the squirming reuses and the limns re?

THE "EYE" WORM OF AFRICA
Dangerous Pest Thst Is Apt to Bs In?
flicted on the Visitor to
the Congo. '
Every one who lives in central Af?
rica any length of time sooner or later
becomes affected with ibe fllarla loa,
a worm which is about two inches In
length and the size of a hair. Its larva
is supposed to be taken lato the body
in drinking water, and, when Incu?
bated, It wanders through the body for
a long period. At one time It may
make its presence known In the fore?
arm or the back of the hand by a pain?
less' swelling. At another time the
same Indications appear in a leg or
about'the Hps or forehead.
' Missionaries tell me tin it I have sev?
eral of them In my body, although,
save for the Indications described, they
have caused me little or no Inconveni?
ence. The worm Is-supposed Ho end Its
career In the eye of the victim, and in
Africa Is commonly called "eye worm'
because of this tendency. It then pro?
duces Inflammation, and, unless skill?
fully extracted. It sometimes ruptures
the delicate membranes, frequently
causing great suffering and even blind?
ness.
The natives take It ottt with a bam?
boo splinter. But If the worm breaks
in the eye, the virus Is liable to poison
the organ completely, frequently with
the result of loss of sight. European
surgeons, however, find little trouble In
removing It successfully.?R. L. Gar?

Mole's Marvelous Appetite. -
Incredible stories are told of the
mole's appetite, and in order to see
if there was anything La/them (writes i
an English correspondent) I tried an
experiment My mole?a matronly
lady?weighed three and half ounces.
Each Item of food that she was given
was carefully weighed, and here is her
record between 9 a. m. and noon:
One frog, throe Slugs, twenty-four
earthworms, a piece of raw mutton,
and a bit of cheese, a total of Just
over four ounces. Sonic delay follow?
ed, as my stock of weighed food was
exhausted. Probably by the time I
bad replenished It she uhought it was
thne for a. fresh meal, for she went
at it again with no visible damage to
her appetite, and befors three o'clock
she had got through another three
ounces, mostly earthworms this time.
That was twice her own weight In
food In six hours. After this display
I gave up the attempt to measure her
maximum capacity.
Bohsmlana Fond of Qssos.
A traveler in Bohemia quickly learns
that there are certain things which
are essentially Bohemian, writes Ken?
neth Robert* in the Saturday Eve?
ning Post. True Bohemians eat
enormous quantities o' caraway seed*,
and goose. When a Bohemian took:
prepares anything she Instinctively
reaches for the carawi.y seed box and
heaves a handful of seeds into the
dish. She uses caraway seeds with
hors d'oeuvres, soup, ilsh, meat, voge
tables, desserts and cakes.
As for goose, it is the common fooc
In Bohemia, because every ore raises
geese, and, according to Mr. Roberts,
goose in some form or another is
eaten at every meal every day In the
year.

SCRAWLED BY GREAT POET?
Signatur? of William Shakespeare, Be?

In Hampton Court.
The discovery of the signsture of
William Shakespeare, scrawled years
ago on the 'vail of the "haunted gal?
lery" of Hampton court, has Just been
mnde in Ixmdon. Shakespeare authori?
ties pronounce it authentic.
The disclosure was mar'e when,
lernest Low, the court antiquarian, was
directing the renovations. On the wall
bf Itae old retiring room he found, af?
ter cleaning it, the letter "8," followed
by illegible letters, concluding "ke~

of a hand and the date 1606.

RELY ABSOLUTELY Ott NILE
Without the River's Annual Inundation
Egypt Would Be Liters ly a
Barren Waat?.
Usually on June 15 the inundation
of the Nile commences,: the greatest
height being, at the auturana: equinox,
after which the waters sub:side until
the following April. The &reat ad?
vantages which Egypt derives from the
annual rise of the river and saving of
the country from barrenness, has
caused.the Nile to be known by the
inhabitants as the most holy river,
they believing that it draws Its source
from Paradise.
In former days it had its appointed
priests, festival a and sacrifices, and if
its rising were delayed by a Mingle day
they took the moat beautiful maiden
they could find and dressing her rich- j
ly, drowned her In the water* as a vie
tfm to turn away the god's uager and
merit his favors. The caliphs abolished
this cruel sacrifice. Substituting one
less barbarous, they threw into the riv?
er a letter in which It waa commanded
that the waters rise if it were the will
of (Job*.
It has been stated that the quality of
the Nile water la'such that It la highly
extolled for drinking purposes and no
matter how long kept It doss pot be?

PMrst Steamboat In West.
The first steamboat on ti e western
waters was the Orleans, built In 1811
at Pittsburgh by Robert Fulton, un?
der the firm name of Fulton & Living?
ston, his partner being Chancellor R.
Livingston of New York. It ar?
rived at Louisville, Ky., In October,
destined for New Orleans, tut the riv?
er being too low for its passage over
the falls, it plied between Louisville
and Cincinnati until early In Decem?
ber, when it descended the river and
entering the Mississippi encountered
at New Madrid, Mo., the earthquake
of December 11, which foimed Reel
foot lake In Tennessee, and the lakes
In Arkansas, opposite and above Mem?
phis, which remain now. The boat
was repaired and reach eel New Or?
leans December 29. It remained
feouth, plying between New .Orleans
and Natchez until July, 1814, when it
waa wrecked and sunk.
Blessing the Alpin? Ropes.
Every summer, at the beginning of

the guides, many of whom are godly
men who know they take their lives
In their hands when they ascend the
Alps. So they bring their rcpes with
them and lay them at the foot of one
of the mountains. Old and new ropes
are piled in a heap, and tl en they are
blessed by the pastor. Prayer Is of?
fered that the Aid ropes may still bear
the stram safely and that the new
ropes may prove equal to ell the stress
placed upon them. The guides are
commended to the mercy of God that
In their dally ascents they may be kept
safe and that they may succor the

Egypt Raised Cotton In 200 B. C.
Cotton has been grown iu Egypt
since 200 B. C, but it was not iu til
a hundred years ago that Jumel, a
French engineer, suggested the f^tro
ductlon of the commercial varieties.
In 1822 the famous American sea Is?
land cotton was the first sown. Five
years later a Brazilian variety was
Introduced. The two strains were min?
gled and from them came the famous
"Ashmouni" plant and the still finer
"Mutafti," which is one of the most
productive cottons In the world.
Whisky Called "Water of Life."
The art ol distilling lkiuors Is first
mentioned by Albukassen, an Arabian
physician who lived In tl e tenth cen?

originated In Ireland, at d Its Celtic
name was ulsgebetha (water of life)
afterward contracted to usquebaugh
ami then to whisky. It was known as
usquebaugh in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries both In Ireland
and Scotland.
Sell As Needed by Mills
Approximately 7" p?-r cent of the
country's vo ton crop is marketed dur?
ing four months of the year?Sep?
tember, October. November, and De?
cember'?a cording to reports to thw
Bureau of Crop Estimates, United;
States Department of Agriculture. T11*
remaining 30 per rent is sold during
the other eight months On the basin
of a 1-\000 tmo-bale crop this means
th.<t s.4on,ooo bales are sold during
?b-- four months. The miliv do not*
consume cotton at that rate; in facti
_ consumption is fairly uniform thrugh
ou the year. Therefore, during the
< ur-montb period the supply is great?
er than V+; demand, with resultant
low prices to the farmer,
j If the miHa ?urchaeed the crop di?
rect, lower prices of cotton goods to
jthe ]>ublic might result. But that is
not the procedure The crop is bought
early in the season by merchants who
supply be mills With the raw material
a- it is needed. And when the cotton
I is linally sold to the-mijls it is usually
at a considerable advance over the
price paid the farmer.
Cotton producers would correct this
situation and at the same time secure
better prices for their cotton by carry
! ing the crop and selling it as it is
needed by the mills, says the Bureau
of Markets of the Department of Ag?
riculture. This does not mean that the
services of merchants or brokers in
getting the crop from the farmer to
the mills are not needed, because fre?
quently the farmer Js noi able to con?
tract directly to advantage with the
mills, and, of course, the farmer
would no be. paid i'or his crop at one
time, aa at present, but he could
warehouse cotton and negotiate
loans upon the warehouse receipts.
The increased return for his crop
v/ould more than take care of tbd
wurehousicg expenses aud interest
c hargea,
. This is but one of many conditions
that ohe Bureau of Markets is trying
to correct through educational cam?
paigns and individual advice to farm?
ers.
