REALLY A GREWSOME AFFAIR RICH W,NES F0R WYAL1Y HAS GOOD AND BAD EFFECT
Englishman Narrates a Somewhat Un-
pleasant Eaperisnce While
Rhinoceros Hunting.
In the Nairobi club I met a gen-
‘Imian with one arm gone at the
ihoulder. He told his story in u
•lightly bored and drawling voice,
sicking hit* word* very carefully, and
•vidently most occupied with neither
jnderstating nor overstating the
.•aw. It seem* he had been out, and
had killed aotue sort of a buck,
whi'e hia men were occupied with
thit* he strolled on alone to we what
he could find. He found a rhinoceros
that charged viciously, and into
which he emptied his gun. «
“ ‘When 1 came to,’ he said, ‘it
was just coming on dusk, and the
lions were beginning to grunt. My
irm was completely crushed, and I
Fas badly bruised and knocked
about. As near as 1 could remember
I was fully ten miles from camp. A
;irde of carrion birds stood all about
me not more than ten fi*et away; and
i great many others were flapping
sver me and lighting in the air.
These last were so close that I could
feel the wind from their wings. It
was rather grewsome.’ He paused
and thought a moment, as though
weighing hia words. ‘In fact,’ ho
idded, with an air of final convic-
tion, ‘it was quite grewsome!’”—
Htewnrd Edward White, in American
Magazine.
PUZZLE.
“I was in a quardary this morn-
ing when Jinks told me he wanted
assistance, as his wife was getting
very light-headed.”
“Why were you puzzled?”
“Because I didn’t know whether
she needed a doctor or a hair spceial-

In the thriteenth and fourteenth
centuries in Paris the wine of Mont-
martre was as celebrated and as pop-
ular with connoisseurs as Chateau
Yquein is today, and the dingy Hue
de la (Joutte d’Or, now the resort of
the Apache, takes its name from tha
Montmartfe wine of the best quality.
In fact, this particular vintage was
so renowned that it was the custom
for Paris to present four caska of it
to the king of France on each anni-
versary of hia coronation. In 1814
an international wine exhibition was
held in Paris. Spain, Portugal,
Greece, Italy and France sent their
best vintages.
The reigning king, Philippe Au-
guste, presided himself over tha
judging committee, and after a fair
and exhaustive test the jury declared
the wine of Cyprus to be king of the
wines, the Malaga was preclaimed
viceroy, and the Goutte d’Or vintage
was one of the three dukes, the other*
being the Malvoisie and the Alicante.
It was this very success of the wins
of Paris which worked its downfall.
Those who had hitherto cultivated
other crops decided to grow nothing
but wines in future, and planted
them indiscriminately, without re-
gard to the nature of the soil. Tha
result was a gradual degeneration in
the quality of the’wines, and with
their lost reputation the cultivation
of the vine was finally abandoned al-
together. Sun Francisco Argonaut.
The influence of caffeine, the ac-
tive principle of coffee, on mental
and motor efficiency has been studied
by the psychologists. The Journal
of Philosophy, Psychology and
Scientific Methods reviews the ex-
periments on 16 subjects, ten men
and six women, over a period of 40
daya, reported by H. L. Holling-
worth, including an intensive experi-
ment of three days to study the ef-
fect# of caffeine at close range and to
determine their time relations; also a
seven-day test with syrups. A cup
of coffee contains al>out 2.5 grains of
caffeine. Mr. Hollingworth finds the
effect of small doses from one to four
grains, to be stimulating, with no
appreciable after effect; doses of aix
grains or more clogging of the men-
tal faculties. Speed and quality of
performance in typewriting seem to
be improved with small doses of the
caffeine alkaloid, from one to three
grains, and to he unfavorably affect-
ed by larger doses of four to six
grains. The effect begins in one to
two hours when the drug is taken in
a svrup, and from two to three hours
i when taken in capsule form. When
i taken in coffee it is believed that the
I effects of the caffeine may be sorne-
j what neutralized by other ingredi-
ents. The effect of continuous use of 1
the drug was not determined by
these experiments.—New York
Times.

LARGE FARMS
Peter Radford again Calls Attention to
our Large Farms.
The average farm in Bowie
county contains 74.6 acres and in
each farm the average number
of acres of improved land is 36.
The Farmer’s Union is strongly
advocating the reduction of the
size of the farms of this state
and its President, Hon. Peter
Radford, has previously, through
the press, called attention to the
number of large farms in Bowie
county. Federal Census Rec-
ords show that we have 393
farms that contain more than 100
acres. Mr. Radford claims that
if cheap money were available
more tenant farmers would be-
come borne owners and the own-
ers of these large tracts could be
induced to place their property
on the market in small tracts.
We now have 4480 farms in
this county and 2569 of them are
operated by tenants.
