BUFFALO. ON T}IE. INCREASE Latest Reports Shog That the ‘Animali Is Not Likely to Become Extinct, . at Any rate. : . The fear that existed not long ago lest the native buffalo would soon become extinct is dispelled by a report of. the American B soclety, which states that there were 38,393 wild and tame buffalo in thj United States in January, 1920. This is an increase of about 300 per cent since 1908, in which year there were 1,116 wild and tame buffalo in this country. : Of the nine government-owned herds, two of the largest under.the care of the United States Department of Agriculture are located in the Wichita national game preserve, %klahoma, and on the national bison| range at Dixon, Mont, The herd on the Wichita preserve now numbers 134, including 28 calves of this year.| In this herd four bulls and 12 cows a}e ten years of age or over, and one cow is twenty-nine years old. The 15§anlma_ls that constituted the original: Wichita herd came from the New .Yorki Zoological park, _ It is planned this year to dispose of some of the surplusi buffalo in the gov.ernment herds in agcordance with the provisions made by éthe 1919 appropriational bill for their jcare, Public parks and municipalities pu-e the largest patrons. By distrlbpting the animals over the country, if disease or misfortune overtakes thie main herds, there still will be stock left ‘with which groups could be b';ﬂt up again.

WHY DRUGGISTS ARE BALD Seemingly Their Duties Are Manifold, "If They Would Satisfy Their Various “Customers.” “Now, what do you think of that?” said the druggist’s iclerk. “She wanted to know what THhanksgiving is for. Some people think a drug store is an information bureaui. e “The other day |a -woman came in and wanted to knpw who discovered America. She said she had an argument with a friend about it, and they decided I must be the referee.” He had perched himself on top of a ladder and was trying to juggle three or four boxes at a time when aonman came in and after waiting a minute to be waited on knocked on the counter., ; : “I want a two-cent stamp in a hurry,” she said. He gave her .the stamp and made change from ass bill.“Would you please give me the same kind of medicine that you gave to my mother the last t}me she came in?” she said. o : : “Who is your mpther?” he asked. “You know my mother—the fat-lady that always buys f bottle of soda every night” 1 s

Various Causes of Death. It is illuminating to read the causes of death. In 1917—a typical year in which the figures were not complicated by the war—l 4.2 of every thousand persons in the ited States died; out of every hundred thousand deaths 153.2 were from diseases of the heart, 1498 from pneumonia, 1464 from tuberculosis, 107.4 from kidney troubles, 82.9 from sgpoplexy, 81.6 from cancer, 79 from diarrhoea, 25.3 from diseases of the arteries, 17.2 from influenza, 16.9 from: diabetes, 16.5 from diphtheria, 16.3 from bronchitis, 108.8 from accidents’ of] all sorts. Arterial diseases and diabetes show an increase that is reajly alarming; for in 1900 only 6.1 per:100,000 died of the former and omly 97 the latter. These, with those of the heart and kidneys, are diseases that result directly from the strain and stress of modern life, —Popular Science Monthly, ‘

’ The Sl?k Miner. b Judge Elbert H.

So many miners You see found that they could make enough in three ¢r four days to keep them all the wee : , “So many min in fact, were like the sick miner. |As the sick miner, pale and drawn, lay in his bed the doctor entered. : e “The doctor examined him and then said: 2 g : : “‘T prescribe pomplete rest. You tired yourself out in the last Strike’”

Gave to “Unworthy Poor.” A Missouri map has left a will establishing a fung for the ald of the poor of his towf, Eldorado Springs, Mo., every Christmas. It is especlally suggested that gifts be distributed to unfortundte persons, “whether they are worthy or upworthy according to the standards of soclety.” ; “Those in a position to give money to fellow beings In misfortune so long have insisted that the poer to be aided must be “worthy” that it is a great relief to find one man who does not attach the obnoxigus string to his act of generosity.

FARMER OWES MUCH TO MULE

Animal ls Hard and Rugged Worker and Almost Indispensable in . . Many Localities. )

The mule, like everybody else, has his place. He is considered a .bad actor. Fathers caution .their sons about going nearrany animal with long ears and ropy tail. The sons know what the animal will do because they have been looking over the “funny paper” each Sunday and were delighted in seeing the mule fold up and let loose with a kick that sent a man through the side of a barn, or over the fence. But in spite of this undesirable advertising the mule is with us today on more farms than eéver before. He is a hard and rugged worker and is especlally adapted to the more hilly farms of our agricultural sections. Even through the Middle West there are some counties that have more mules than horses:. In 1867, the mules of the United States numbered 822,000, with an average value of $66.94. In 1890 the number was ‘2,821,000, valued at $78.25. By 1914 the number had ¥ increased to 4,123,000, with a value of $119.84 per head. On January 1, 1920, the number was 4,995,000 and the value per head was $147. el The mule has gained rapidly in popularity, in many localities taking the plaee of the horse, and has also prevented the introduction of the fractor in many places. There are not a few mule ranches over. the United States, the owners finding it a paying kind of stock .to raise. The demand is increasing and those having them for sale cannot supply the market.—Thrift - Magazine. LA

CONDEMN TERM “FAIR SEX” English Women Go on ‘Recard as Opposed to Phrase “Belonging toa Bygone Age.” =~ L It has been officially declared in England that women, en bloc, are neither “week” nor “fair.,”” At least the Women’s Freedom league, under the leadership. of Councilor Margaret Hodge, has put a ban on the terms “fair sex” and “weaker sex.” “Spinster” and “mother-in-law” have also been put on the feminine index. Further, it is averred, once and for all timegthat; Woman'’s judgment is a 8 good as man's. - ' - Women talk less than men. o " Women can keep a secret. ; ' “One irritating custom,” said Mijss Hodge, “comes from an age when to be falr was woman's first and foremost duty. The only women who counted were for ornament rather than for use. Women may be the weaker sex physically, but certainly not morally. | The name mother-in-law is still the standby of farces and comic literature. It is_an fdea from some bygone age.”— London Chronicle, A

Chinese Art.” S The appllcahlltg of Chinese art for interior decoration of any period is being strikingly illustrated in a recent gallery opening in New York., The idea that anything Chinese is gaudy is being gradually displaced. In' the carving of gems, the working of metal and in tapestry designs the Chinese are without rivals., The owner of the new gallery has fitted up half a score of rooms in period designs—there lis the old French and English, the American colonial, the early Italian and the Holland rooms. Fitting snugly into the general tone of the room are marvels of Chinese craftsmanship in the form of hangings, carved woodwork, tapestry and lamps. It is a revelation to many .and has a new conception of Chinese craftsmanship.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.

. _ ; Big Task. .One of the big causes of delay in the movement of freight is the heating of the journal boxes of car axles, commonly called. “hot boxes.” When one “journal box in a train gets seriously hot it is necessary to stop the whole movement of traffic until the condition can be remedied. This makes very timely a series of tests now being carried on at Purdue university, to determine \accurately the benefit to be derived by using ventilated lids Instead of the solid lids now almost universally used on the axle journals. The tests consist of elght-hour runs with heavy loads at high speed, during which accurate records are kept of the temperature attained in each class of apparatus.

Perfume Hunters. . There seems to be no good reason why in this country the gathering of sweet-smelling herbs and flowers for the perfumery trade might not be found profitable. It has recently become a considerable industry in rural parts of England, a great many women and children having taken it up. - . In April the picking of cowslips begins, those flowers belng in demand as a cure fqr sieeplessness, and also for ¥potpourri” and sachets. Broom and elder flowers follow. Mullein and malTow, bergamot, peony petals, rose petals and red popDy petals bring good prices; likewise raspberry leaves, sage, mint, balm and thyme.—Philadelphia Ledger. .= - = _
