You can almost see the difference in the condition of your stock. It is one more safe-guard against loss from disease. In planning your cattle barn, you naturally have prob lems of your own to take into consideration. The size, location, and interior arrangement must be adapted to your needs. Instead of putting up a separate building you might find it better to build an addition to your present barn equipment. In any event you will consider the con venience to yourself and your hired help of having a building of ample size. Talk it over with us. Wc want to help you decide upon the one best building for your purpose. W. W. BIRGE CO. Tlji-tis of India. Among thq countless varieties ol criminal which Infest the largo cities you tiro doubtless familiar with the ono commonly designated by thciiamo "thug," a rulllan who would stnb u person In tho back for .a fow cents. Tho name "thug" Is derived from tho old religious order that nourished in India unmolested up to irhout 1S110. Thuggee was practiced by religious fnnntlcs, whose creed prohibited the shedding of ,blood. Any" human warl ike which might bo offered to tho god dess' Kali must be slain Without tho breaking of tho skin or tho appeanutco of ono bloodstain. Usually tho thugs masqueraded aH pilgrims or peddlers, got tho confidence of their victims and then strangled them by means of n rope, a handkerchief or an unwound turban.' They wero then burled in shallow graves, dug with a consecrat ed pickax, and a third of the plunder was laid on tho altar of Kali, tholr barbaric deity. St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat Taklnn an Impreosion. Tho original point of view of Stephen Ilawels, tho English painter, is seen in tho following fable, which was includ ed in a letter to a friend: Tho artist peeped into a window of a oom where a retired merchant sat, doing a jigsaw puzzle. "Whoso Is that strange face?" tho merchant asked anxiously. "I saw no one," his wife said. "I did. I saw a strange fnco dis tinctly" but before ho renched tho window tho artist -was gono. "Do you think it was n burglar?" his wife said. "Wo will seo If bo has taken any thing." Investigation showed that nothing was missing,- but tho artist had taken nwuy an impression which, ho sold to that particular merchant for 100. Kansas City Times. The Penotratlnn Staro. Can a staro bo felt? A woman who has conducted mnuy experiments says it can, that "no matter how deep her absorption, tho staro at her back will always disturb Iter. All girls feel a stare." Dr. Coovcr, "a psychologist," says a staro is not felt and that ho has tested it a thousand times. It is probably ull imagination on tho part of tho woman, for It is easy in such -cases for what ono imagines to be- como real to her. Whero sho passes a man, nnd ho stares at her, sho can doubtless feel thatstaro u block away, for it will take awhilo for tho impres sion of a staro to pass away. Stares nro no doubt n great annoyance to wo men, but thero Is no way to prohibit them. Tho only way to do to abolish tho Btaro is for women to dress simply and go modestly about their business. - Ohio Stnto Journal. WW
