How Some People Sleep;
Think You Could Do It?
The Japanese stretches him
self on a rush mat on the floor
and puts a hard square block of
wood under his head.
Chinese beds are very low,
scarcely rising from the floor, but
are often carved exquisitely of
wood.
The inhabitants of the tropics
often curl themselves up like
monkeys at the lower angle of a
suspended hammock and sleep
very soundly that way.
The Russian likes no sleeping
place so well as the top of the h;;r
soapstone stove in his dwelling.
Crawling out of his blisb-rn :
bed in the morning, he delight s
in taking a plunge in a cold
stream, even if he has to break
through the ice to do so.
In Lapland the native crawl .
head and all, into a bag made of
reindeer skin and sleeps warm
and comfortable within it.
The East Indian, at the other
end of the world, also has a
sleeping bag. Its purpose is to
keep out the mosquitoes rather'
than to keep its occupant warm.
Bullfight Ends in Death.
Los Angeles, Dec. Joseph Ru
dolph, employe of a dairy, died
yesterday from wounds inflicted
by a bull, which he had deliber
ately engaged in battle. Some
time ago the bull killed a fellow
employe, and Rudolph deter
mined to avenge his comrade’s
death. He entered the enclosure
where the animal was confined,
armed with a knife, revolver and
club. Before he could use any of
his weapons the hull charged and
gored him so badly that he died
Many Grain Crops
Planted in Johnson
Wrightsville. Ga., Dec. 5.
One of the most pleasing signs
of prosperity, and one which is
caused by the short crops and
high cost of living is the great
number of acres of grain that
has been sown. Never before in
the history of Johnson county
has so much oats, wheat, rye and
barley.
The prices that pi evaded here
during the summer and fall for
feed stuffs were almost prohib
itive. The farmers have deter
mined that next year, with
weather conditions favorable
there shall he no necessity (
sending to the west f r such
things.

Prevalence of small pox In Georgia
s not questioned; little is said of it
except when It becomes epidemic or
! semi epidemic in a particular locality;
men a vaccination crusade is started,
i nut often Loo late to protect many ol
the victims.
Hmali pox is one of the oldest of
epidemic diseases. There are refer
ences to it dai.ng hack I.OuO years
in tore the Christian era. In Europe,
in the middle ages, its death roll
would run as high us 600,009 in a sin
gle year. It was drought to America
■any in the seventeenth centuiy, and
uas been more or less prevalent here
ever since.
Small pox is considered unquestlon
; ably a germ disease, hut the germ is
one about which suleutilsts as yet
know nothing. What they do know,
ho we vi l, beyond ail question, is how
lo prevent it. Nearly everyune ex

fell days, two weeks or even a
longer Uuie may pass before the
gympLoius develops. Then comes a
severe chill loilowed by a rapidly dis
-ng lever and severe aching puius in
the back, jotuis or head. After a
couple oi days of fever, rash appears
usually iirst on the forehead, and the
fever sir asides. Ihe rash, at first
pmk or reddish splotches, smooth and
lint, dev elopes In a tew hours Into
in tie haid founded bumps under the

body, developing blisters as they

lever, and the blisters, Ullad first with
a clear iluid, become tilled with cor
runilon. The patient presents a hor
rible picture. The shut is covered
w itb a mass of pus, the ayes are clos

flesh gives foitli a horrible odor. Af
l**i about twelve days the eruption
begins to heal, the blisters dry up and
finally the skin is covered with line
scales from the top of the eruption
which arc believed to contain the con
tagion of the dlseuse. The patient Is
contagious until all the pustules have
dried up and sealed ofT and the skin
over them Is smooth Sometimes
great pits are left In the skin which
