IJAIRS. jOEJ-iOPjISij Choukaof India, Small, Antelope Giftsd With More Than Its Shate of Head Ornaments. , Four or six-horned animals are found In certain parts of Asia. Principal among these Is the four-homed choiikn, a small antelope of Indln, lt name be ing derived from the nnthe word chouk, meaning a leap. Its front pair of horns are short and placed Just above the eyes, while the larger ones are In the n.iml por tion higher on the head. The length of the .upper horn Is about three or four Inches, though the lower ones rarely exceed one Inch, and no bpeclal use. for them has ever been dis covered by naturalists. The chouka is a beautiful little creature with Its bright bay back con trasted with the gray-white of the unde'r part, beneath which n,ro the lithe legs that enable it to make Iho high bounds for which It Is noted. An adult chouka rnrely exceeds t!0 Inches In height at the shoulders.' Jn their wild state all sheep were furnished with n pair of horns, but the number never exceeded two until some curious specimens were discov ered In some Isolated bectlons of Asia. These specimens hnd from four to six boms, the upper set being grudtinted with the smallest ones Just nbove the eyes. Curiously enough, the, two lower sets always curve upward, while the large pair curve downward. Asia Magazine. JUiiu Z2&J AT THE BACK DOOR Lady: You haven't washed for months! What alls you, man?

Paper of any kind has value If properly baled." Louis ville Courier-Journal. When to Prune Trees Ask the practical horticulturist that questibn nnd he will probably answer with another question, "Who wnnts to knov?" If it is the owner of a large orchard who asks the question the answer probably would be, "From now until spraying begins, which ,is us'unll tho latter :pnrt of April." For the pruning of a ten-acre orchard would take pretty close to a month if it, were possible to work 10 hours every uuy. If it is the owner of n small farm orchard who wants to know it might bo, "Any time when your knifo is sharpened and you ore so inclined." But if it is the owner of a few trees; be they shnde trees or fruit trees, who is always anxious to do the best possible for his trees, the nnswer would be, "Just before the sap rises, fioiu the middle of March to the middli! of April," Wounds made at this timsc begin healing as soon as the sap begins to flow, whereas wounds made earlier, say in Decem ber and Junuary, start healing several weeks later because the cold drying winds have .tilled a few exposed lay ers of cells in the enmbium or grow ing tissues. The important thing about pruning is not so much the time at which it Is done but the manner in which it is done, say the horticulture special of tho University. Agricultural college. If In taking oft' an objec tionable limb tho wound is made with a sharp saw or shears and close to the remaining branch, it will heal over just about ns well if made in December as though it were mado in the early part of April. But If n liranch is removed having a two-Inch stub the chances are it will not haul over whether made in December or in April. , Lack of Homes Grips Rome. Rolf W. Uniihan, who wus head of ,the Princeton architects who worked In devastated France, thus sums up his observations on a tour of Italy : "The housing shortngo In the big cities Is Just us serious as In the United States, and In Rome the sltun- I (Inn In inure m-ver. Hum lu either I'nrls or London. The cost of build ing bns come down, but It has not yet reached a point where extensive programmes for housing have been undertaken." HOUSEWORK IS PUT ' ON BUSINESS BASIS New York Maids Given 44-Hour Week and Eat Their Meals Out. New York Is employing business methods tcsolvo Its problem of do mestic service. Tho long-vucnnt place of the old fashioned servant ls being taken by the "home usslstant" working u 44 hour week and going and coming to work each day us n stenographer or factory worker. She also buys her own meals nnil expects her employers to address her ns "Mrs.'' or "Miss." The reluctance of women since the wur to engage lu housework and do mestic service nt wages which families of moderate means'can pay led n grqup of New York women to Investigate the problem. They found that women re volted from domestic service because of tho long hours of labor, lack of defi nition of their tasks, uncertainty of thelr'hours of recreation, and the feel ing that a certain social stigma was attached to their positions. The rcfcult of the investigation was a determination to put housework on d business basis and make it nu digni fied an ocupatlon ns ofllco or factory, The women who have been attracted to housework on the home assistant basis receive $1$ n week for a 44-hour week. They get Sundays nnd holidays or their equivalent time off and a vaca tion of two weeks with pay nt the end of n year's work, They ure paid over time at a specltled rate. A weekly schedule of household tasks hi the employer's home is ar ranged that will keep the worker biisy every hour she ,1s scheduled to work. She quits at noon and goes out for her lunclu When the day's work Is ended she leaves for her own home. The domestic servant has become a business woman with the same free dom and independence as the rest of her sisters in the business, -world. The success of' the new venture led the lnycstlgators to organize ihcybu renu of household occupations, which nets ns'ft clenrlnn-house for the .home itntCatua;lAcftAwhere;o(lv'''tlte workerslncLthelr 6mloyr cn 1m ve dimculties adjusted B7they may arise".

SAWED OFF DEER PRONG Game Warden Saw Fight Between Two Bucks. Gnme Warden TJieodore Wegmnnn hnd nn Interesting experience while making his rounds on the north- bor der of Itnsca pnrk, Minnesota, one day recently, witnessing a battle be tween two bucks nnd cheating n wolf of Its prey. Wegmunn noticed a wolf skulking along the trail he was following, but before ho could get a 'shot the wolf disappeared In the brush, V- crash ing nearby attracted Wegmnnn's at tention and he found two bucks en gaged in combat, with horns locked. After watching the struggle' until sat isfied the deer could not break, apart of their own accord, ho went for as sistance and returned with Supt. O. M. Roberts, who brought u rope, a hatchet und a saw. The two men found tho fightings ani mals almost exhausted by their strug gles and soon had them under control. They could not be pried apart, and it wus necessary to cut a prong oft the horns of one deer to release them. They were then turned loose. Wegmunn said the larger buck was a line nnlinul, weighing upward of 250 pounds. This buck lost the prong thut was sawed olt und the smaller deer hud the tip of one prong broken lu the fight.
