C.—Officials of the Indian bureau bere are wondering what they shall do with the lone sur vivor of the Tana tribe of Indians, popularly known as the Kogls, who was captured near Oroville. Cal., re cently. A report was received from Charles L., Davis, one of the agents of the bureau, in which he recom mened that the lone Tana be cared for by some member of an allied tribe. This, it was said, probably would be the course adopted. "After a year or two." said Mr. Davis, "he doubtless would be able Ishi. the Wild Man. to look after himself, become a mem ber of the band and live as they do." This lone Yana. Air. Davis believes. Is the last of a group of four or live Indians who for years had lived in the virtually Inaccessible haunts oi canyons along the Feather river. Several years ago a party of surveyors the repons adds, evidently drove them from this seclusion, and in the at tempt to find another hiding place ail of them perished, save the old man taken a few days ago. "He is an ex pert." Mr. Davis says, "in imitating the calls of wild animals, showing ne has preserved the wiles of the savage to allure the wild game to him." "The capture of this man is of the utmost importance to anthropologists.' says Professor Kroeber of the Univer sity of California. "He represents a dialect that we supposed wa6 extinct. He is more of an aborigine than any of the Indians we nave been studying for the last ten years.” Jshi is so densely ignorant that he does not know what money is. tor money has been of as much use to Sim as It was to Robinson Crusoe. Ishi is not very strong; his muscles are not well developed, and wnen ne grips the testing machine as hard as he can he makes a low record. He talks in high keyed musical tones, which have something of the pialn tiveness of a child. When he sits he squats on his ankles. He dips up thin soup with three fingers, whlcn ne crooks, and uses only two fingers tor thick soup. A PECULIAR NEW AEROPLANE Its Unusual Shape Is Expected to Ob viate Present Difficulties—Inven tor Claims Stability. Paterson, X. J.—W. A. Gary, of Pat erson, has built an aeroplane which looks as though it might easily "make a noise like a hoop and roll away.” But it really can't Moreover. Mr. Gary thinks it has solved the problem of stability, and that Is the chief prob lem before the flying machine today. Mr. Gary thinks his aeroplane has met the Wright patents and avoided any Infringement of them, while all the other successful flying machine*. A Queer Aeroplane. It Is claimed, must pay the Wrights royalty. The Wright and other flyers meet changed conditions, caused by gusts of wind on one side or the other, by warping the main planes of interme diate planes. If they didn’t their ma chines would skid sideways into the first air pocket and be wrecked Mr. Gary's machine presents a side riding at the bottom of the hoop in which his three planes are enclosed, brings the center of gravity of the machine so low that it can't tip over. It is now awaiting the building of a heavy motor to bave its final trial. AGED LOVERS PART AT ALTAR Kansas Couple Quarrel Over Property Within an Hour of Time for Wedding. Lawrence.

DEMAND FOR HEAVY DRAFT HORSES STILL CONTINUES BIG Ro Mechanical Contrivance or Motor Vehicle Has Vet Bern Discovered to Replace This Magnificent Animal— Most Valuable Asset the Farmer Has Who Breeds Him Properly. » One of Clydesdale Geldings That Bring High Prices for Sfx-r:orse Team. (By CAPTAIN A. H. WADDELU) . Never in the history of this country, j or any other, for that matter, has the heavy draught horse been in such de mand or so valuable as he is today. Indeed, he is the most valuable asset the farmer has who breeds him right. No mechanical contrivance or motor vehicle has been discovered that w-ill fill the place of this magnificent, ani mate creature of flesh and blood, or will any contrivance of any kind be i perfected for many a long day, that will accomplish what he can. and do the work as well and so thoroughly, I as well as. as cheaply as he can. Motor trucks have failed not only to cope with the heavy loads imposed upon the brewers dray for instance, and the hauling of cumberous and : heavy machinery, but have been un : able to handle them in the narrow and congested thoroughfares of the great cities, where backing and twist ing and turtiing is absolutely neces sary. Besides the great service and imperative use of these mighty ani mals in the large towns and cities of the country where their demand and value iB increasing day by day, they are a power that cannot possibly be done without in the agriculture dis tricts where the farm produce re quires great hauling power; and in those sections of the country which ! have as yet not yielded to the plow roey are a pre requisite that cannot , be done without. The farmer who purchases one or more of the biggest, best, and most ; suitable individuals of the western grade mares, and breeds them to one or other of the great imported stal lions of the Clydesdale, Shire, Suffolk, Percheron or Belgian breeds, will, in j three years from the time of foaling have a youngster that is worth from $300 to $400, o» if more mares have been bred, pairs that are worth from $600 to $SOO, and which he would have no difficulty, whatever, in selling. Being able to work his mares up to within a short time of their foaling, he is making good and certain money at both ends, for the young stock cost him comparatively little to keep, and if he has been careful in his selections and wise in his breeding, there is no telling what he might not produce in valuable heavy draught horses. Look for instance at the geldings that go to make the great six-horse teams of the country, the norses that constitute the teams of the great packers. These animals fetch great prices. The heav ier. the stronger, the better boned, and more active they are, the better they are for such work, and the more 1 money will they fetch in the market. MUCH PROFIT IN BASKET WILLOW American Grown Rods art oi Good Quality When Proper Care Is Talten in Tkeir Culture. (By WILLIAM F. HUBBARD.) Willow growing gives an uncom i monly high margin of profit. A large demand for willow is now supplied by import, and as American grown rods : are of good quality when proper care is taken of their culture, there is no reason why the further development j : sf the industry should not be possible, , i ] Machine for Budding Willows. if more American farmers can be con vinced of Its practicability. Of late years willow furniture has | sprung into fashion, and today no ; minor industry is more prosperous i than that devoted to its supply. The wages are good and the manufacturers demand a steady supply of superior willow. This is now almost entirely received from France at a price which will give the entire trade to the American if he can equal the quality. Experience has proved that no stock is equal to a willow when dur able baskets are demanded. The high-class basket has made a place for itself in the market even under present circumstances, and the entire decline in the trade has been in the low priced basket, which competes with the foreign willow product or the American made wooden basket To put a low priced basket on the market with raw willow at its present price the wages must be cut lower than the normal standard in America. For this reason the trade is almost entirely in the hands of immigrant basket makers, who know no other trade and who are seldom or never reinforced by native workmen. The remedy lies in a reduction in the cost of the raw material. The cheaper the willow (when good in quality) the better the wages which can be paid to produce a low priced basket, and a low priced baaket of good quality will find an almost un limited market On this point the en-. tire trade agrees Great care should be taken in the selection of the willow bed. Rich, permanently moist sandy loam gives best returns, though ordinary moist, sandy land often yields profitable crops of willow. Flow 10 or 12 inches deep in the fall, prior to planting the following spring. This turns the top layer of the soil so deep that weed seeds can not spring up. Returns depend very largely upon the method of culture, but more upon the variety of willow planted, because the shoots of even the best varieties and in the most, suitable soil grow brittle after the stools become old. FARM ANIMALS IN BIG DEMAND Iwry Farmer Should Have Hum* her of Horses Growtnc and Coming on for Use and Sale. (By 3. BAILEY BRUCE.) in spite of the electric car. the auto mobile and other motive power, horses have Increased in price com mensurate with other farm animals. Every farmer should have a number of young horses growing and coming on for home use' and for sale. A colt can be grown as easily and cheaply as a calf, and at the same time the mare which mothers it will work. The writer has a team of young mares of nearly the same and age. Oaring the past season one of them has raised a colt now wortn at least $75 while the other mare working by her side has raised none. Toe marc with the «>it has done ex actly the same work as the mare | which has no colt and now at the i t close o’ the summer’s work she Is In as good condition as her mate, with both on the same feed and care. A colt, o! course. Is some bother and consumes some feed. The same is true in growing any domestic arimsis. But with a little patience in the handling of the mare and foal, a mare doing general farm work snould raise two colts every three years and do about as well as with none. The colt will represent at least 1<H> ; cr cent rpoflt on the mosey and labor invested in it. In fact, so little extra care and feed are required that the young »mmf| can be grown without noticing the feed It consumes. Care of Stock.

Curiosity From the Orient Said to Have Been Imported by Green house Owners to Destroy Insects. ■ ' Philadelphia. Pa.—The Tenodera Sinensis or Chinese Mantis is in our | midst nowadays and the insect ex perts at the Academy of Natural Sci ences on Logan Square have been kept busy recently answering ques ! tions as to what the queer-looking in sects are and where they come from Philadelphia is about the only American city that is the home of the Chinese Mantis. About 10 years ago a number of the insects were brought to this city from China on some plants that had been imported by the Meehan Nurseries, in German town. Gradually the mantis spread through Germantown, and are now rather abundant north of Market street. That they will in time spread throughout the city and suburbs, and. perhaps, in time throughout the coun try. seems probable. The mantis, according to Dr. Henry Skinner, of the Academy of Natural ; Sciences, has no sting, but has a rath er large mouth and will bite if an noyed. Several weeks ago a woman living in Germantown became terrified when one of the insects flew against her arm. She declared that the bug stung her and that her arm was bad : ly swollen for several days. Not a day has passed that several j persons with the insects in bottles have not come to the Academy to ■ have their pets examined. The man tis lives on smaller insects, such as flies, mosquitoes and gnats. Accord ing to Dr. Skinner, the bug is really valuable The eggs of the mantis are laid In autumn and hatch in spring. About the last of August the mantis becomes full grown and lives until I ■ * The Chinese Mantis. cold weather. In size the bugs range from two to six inches long. They are very peculiar in appearance and are sometimes called Praying Mantis. Soothsayers and the Prophet Bugs. It is said the Chinese tell their for tunes from the actions of the insects The name Praying Mantis comes from the fact that the insects hold their two front legs, which are very short, in a praying position, and often work them rapidly back and forth. The most peculiar parts of the bug are its eyes and long neck. The eyes are like miniature shoe buttons on the outside of the insect's bead, and in proportion to its size are very large. The neck , shoots out from the body and forms ' about one-third the length of the bug, ' ranging from one to two inches. The i mantis can fly, has green wings, a I brown glossy back and long feelers protruding from its bead. All to gether it is not a friendly looking beast Recently, it is said, the owners of greenhouses in this country have imported the insects to use in destroy ing insects in their greenhouses. — RUNS MULE BY ELECTRICITY Owner Has Device to Hurry Beast When He Shows Symptoms of Hookworm. Forrest City, Ark.—Friends of Su perintendent Chilner of the city water and light plant are at a loss whether to class him as the meanest man in Arkansas or the most Ingenious one. The water department has a Missou ri mule which possessed the reputa tion of being the laziest quadruped ever harnessed until Mr. Chilner rigged a patent starter on the wagon to be drawn by it. He put a small electric battery with a switch con venient to the driver’s hand, and at tached an insulated wire to the head stall of the bridle, thence to the ring on the bit. and then back to its tall. Now when the gang is ready to start there Is no cranking nor horse whipping to be done. The device was resorted to after nis mnleshtp threat ened to bankrupt the plant buying whips.

From a beautiful farm down in Tex as. where gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through flowery meads, comes a note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit “When my baby boy came to me five years ago, I began to drink Postum, having a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug-laden coflee. I was not disappointed in it for it enabled me, a small, delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing, healthy baby 14 months. “I have since continued the use of Postum for I have grown fond of it, and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a bilious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year, causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself. “My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off coffee and using PoBtum. He has be come even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee. “In fact, the entire family, from the latest arrival (a 2-year-old who always calls for his ‘potle’ first thing in the morning), up to the head of the house, think there is no drink so good or so wholesome as Postum."
