COULD NOT BE KEPT HIDDEN | Many Nations Have Vainly Tried to Prevent Other Countries Purloining Sources of Wealth. The following national secrets that have become world property are described In Farm and Fireside: ‘‘There was a time when the Turkish government imposed the death penalty on persons caught trying to smuggle out of the empira the best breeds of Angora goats. In 1881, a Cnlifornlan. Doctor Ballsy, bought four goats tn Turkey, carried them on mules, camels and in a closed carriage for come hundreds of miles, sheared off their luxuriant wool, rolled them in coal dust to make them look common and disreputable, and escaped with the sultan's goats and a whole skin. The descendants of these goats are found on ranches in the West and Southwest, crossed with Angoras from South At rica and other parts of the world. “Once the governments of China and Japan guarded with similar jealowsy the exportation of the tea plant. Someone escaped with some seed or cuttings, however, some forty years ago, and the original pkintation of smuggled tea plants is still flourishing in South Carolina. "Fifty years ago Brazil was engaged in an effort to keep the rubber tree in confinement in that empire. The seed was smuggled to Ceylon, however, and for half a century East Indian planters have been perfecting the rubber tree until now the best plantations are there, rather than in Brazil, and the Brazilians who want the best varieties send to Ceylon, Java and other Asiatic countries for their trees for planting. “The sultan lost his goat, the mandarins their tea and the dons their rubber trees—and in return Brazil has given the Asiatics the plague of the water hyacinth and the Mongolians have sent us the San Jose scale, the gypsy moth and several other pests. “There are at least two sides to the matter of free exchange, but it is one of the most fascinating subjects con- ■ nected with agriculture.” WOMEN SEEK BARBER’S AID Not Even the Softest Down Is Allowed to Stay on the Faces of Japanese Ladies. In Japan not only men but women go to the barber if there be any sign of hair on their faces; they do not permit even the soft down to grow, which the Japanese are often astonished to see left unmolested on the faces of some Western women. Often, too, the eyebrows are shaved. In recent years the female barber has become a feature of the profession in Tokyo, most of these being the wives of barbers who wish to make themselves useful to their husbands, though some are Independent. The seventeenth of every month is regarded as a barber’s holiday, when they close up shop and go to theaters and places of amusement, for which they are often furnished with free tickets, because they allow the playbills and other advertisements of the places of amusement to bo posted In their shops free. Most of the Instruments now used by Japanese barbers are made in Japan, thought at first they were all imported. Colored Rope. Every rope used in the British naval service, from heaving line to hawser, ■wherever used on board ship or in dockyard, has woven into one of its strands, for purposes of identification, a colored thread. A different color is used according to the port of manufacture; red, blue, green and yellow being adopted for different ports. The presumption is that any rope with the colored thread found outside of such uses is in improper hands. This custom has prevailed in the British navy since long before the days of Nelson. A similar method of identification is employed to some extent commercially. Some railways mark their rope in this way, and It is sometimes employed in identifying ropes which, used for the transmission ot power in operating machinery and in lighters, would be liable to be stolen. Tongues That Kill. The tongues of some animals are very dangerous weapons. A lion could speedily kill a man by merely licking him with his tongue. The tongues of ail the members of the cat family are covered with curious recurving spinas, formed of tough cartilage. In the common domestic cat these spines are very small, but are sufficiently well developed to give the tongue a feeling of roughness. In the fiercest animals, such as the lion or tiger, these spines are frequently found projecting up for an eighth of an inch or more, with very sharp points or edges. While the mouth is relaxed the tongue is soft and smooth, but when the animal is excited the spines become rigid. One Way. At a certain Welsh railway station which rejoices In the name of “Llanfairpyllgwyngyll”—and about two yards more of it —a new porter was engaged. He was only an Englishman, but meant to do his duty. The first train came in. He tackled the name of the station, but failed miserably to pronounce more than about the first inch. But he was a man of brains. Running along the platform, he pointed to the board which bore the lengthy name and yelled out: “If there’s anybody there for here, this is it!”
