Repairs on the Farm.

These ordinarily cost more than most
farmers would be willing to admit, and in
many cases three times as much as they
need to, for the reason that the team is
stopped, and hand sent to mechanic,
several miles away, to get some little job
done that any farmer of ordinary ingenu'
ity could do in half the time the messen.
ger Is gone to the mechanics, if he had a
few tools, and little of the proper kind
of material.
The thrifty farmer will always lay aside
pieces of timber of different kinds, to be
used for repairs. These he often finds in
his wood pile, and he lays them up where
he can get them, or send boy for them
at any time He will also have box of
screws of different sizes, with a good
screw-driver and three or four gimlets,
That first and last of all carpenters tools
for the farmer, drawing knife, will be at
hand; also little box of different sizes
of bolts with nuts and washers to match ;
a brace and good set of auger bits, from
g to q, and three augers, one inch, one
inch and q half, and two inch. These,
with a hand-saw, make up very respect
able kit for farmer, and if he has any
skill at all in using them, he will some
times save much more than the cost of
them in few months.
Let any farmer who has been accus-
toned to run to the shop for every little
repair, supply himself with such things as
we have named, and do his own repairing,
and he will be agreeably surprised at the
difference in his mechanics bills.
Then there are the harnesses If the
farmer rses several of them he can save
several dollars in the course of the year
by having on hand two or three avis, a
shoe-knife, ball Of shoe thread, and a
ball Of wax, all of which will cost less
than dollar and will last several years
When wheat sells at seventyfive centsa
bushel, farmers will do well to look care.

Fitzmartin, his mother about IS years old,
his grandmother, aged rs, his wife and one
little girl. A man named Cowles, who &C.
casionally took meal with the Growers,
and Mr.. Suhr, who had been at work
for the Growers for two or three daya,
have also been attacked. Up to the time
of writing we have account Of the death
of four of the victims. The families are
Hollanders, speaking English impefectly
The attending physician at first thought
them suffering from scarlet fever, but his
medicine producing no effect, other causes
for the sickness were sought out, when it
appeared that they had been eating, for
several days, almost exclusively of the
flesh, uncooked, of breeding sow that
they had not been able to fatten sufficient
for market. An examination revealed
the fact that the meat was filled with
trichina. After death, the victims were
examined and the parasites were found in
great profusion in the muscles 1t seems
likely that several of the sufferers will re-
cover. AS would naturally be expected,
there is great excitement in the vicinity,
and pork is in great measure discarded.
Some accounts allege that the hog was
known to be diseased, and was only fit to
kill and bury We see no cause for any
great alarm from these or any other re-
ported cases of this disease Sc far as we
remember, there has never been any
trouble with pork properly cooked. Ex-
pertinent has shown conclusively that the
degree of heat necessary to thoroughly
cook it, is sufficient to destroy the life of
trichine. There are but few people who
indulge in raw pork, and to them these
repeated cases should be warning. The
proportion of swine in which trichin9 are
to be found is not known, but examination
at the time of the excitement caused by
the disease, few years ago, did not show
any great per centage. Swine known to
be healthy need not be considered as fur
nishing dangerous food, especially when
well cooked.-Prdirie Farmer.

Explanation Of Foreign Weights and
Measures and Currency.

THE rates of exchange and prices of
gold here are to be taken into account in
forming q comparison between foreign
markets and our own:
English.-In round numbers count for
pound sterling, marked thus: (e), $4o4 !;
for shilling, marked thus: (s), "a cents;
for penny, marked thus; (d.), 2 cents.
Continent Of Eur0pe.-A franc, composed
of 100 centimes, marked thus: f), is -
cents; 5 centimes are equal to cent. In
France, a kilo is about Is pounds. In
Austria, form, equal to 60 kreutzers is
worth as cents. The German form is 40
cents. In Prussia, thaler, equal to 30
silver groschens, is worth II cents In
Hamburg, marco banc, equal to 16 shil-
lings is worth So cents. In Holland, a
guilder or form, equal to 100 Dutch cents,
IS worth Al cents. A Holland centner is
equal to about 100 pounds; Prussian
centner to 1913 pounds.
Buenos AWes-In South America sill
yer rial is worth 121 cents. The curren-
CIV of Buenos Ayres is deprecated and
subject to fluctuations. The current money
consists of paper dollars 81, worth from
316 to a cents. Wool, hair, country hides,
and many other articles, are bought in
this country. Sailed horse hides and to-

"BabeS in the WOOds.D

On New Years Day three children,
sons of Mr.. Joseph Wyhle, respectable
laboring man, residing near Pompton, in
Passaic county, N. j., at the base of the
Wynockle Mountain, left home for the
purpose of going nuttlng" in the woods
on the mountain.
1t was o'clock when they left home, so
that their failure to return before night
fall occasioned but little alarm. After
that, however, their continued absence
rendered the distracted parents almost
frantic. The fearful rain storm which
prevailed during the night and part of
the next day feartully intensified the feel
ings Of the bereaved father and mother,
inasmuch as their little darlings had not yet
been seen nor heard from On Monday a
search was made by number of the coun-
try people, but nothing could be discov-
cred of the whereabouts of the missing
children, whose ages were respectively 10,
Z and years. The entire neighborhood
at length joined in the search, and it was
not till Tuesday last that the mystery was
solved
The innocent trio were found lying
dead, side by side, on the south side Of the
mountain, some ten or eleven miles from
their homes. 1t was quite thickly covered
with timber where the bodies were dis
covered. From the appearance of the
latter it is thought that the children ex-
listed for several days on the nuts they
had gathered previous to being benighted,
and having lost their way were oyertaken
by physical exhaustion and starvation,
which resulted in death--M y Herald,

Poison in Our Bedrooms.

While the other noxious gases are usu-
ally the product of combustion, and their
origin therefore apparent, sulphuretted
hydrogen obtains an entrance into our
houses in a surreptitious and insidious
manner through the waste pipes OF sinks
and wash basins, the latter giving it ac-
cess even to our bedrooms. There can
be but little doubt that the prolonged maui
sea from which some persons suffer, and
which often terminates in confirmed dys-
pepsia, is not unfrequently due to this
cause, and while the sufferer and physi-
clans are searching in vain for some
means of relief, and are experimenting
with various remedies, the true origin OF
the trouble is unsuspeC ed, and might be
easily removed by a pr per attention TO
the waste pipe traps. The test by which
the presence of this gas in the air OF
room may be detected is very simple. 1t
may be performed by taking the white,
imprinted margin of newspaper, moist
ening it with solution of sugar of lead,
and suspending the prepared slip of paper
in the locality to be examined. II
the air contains sulphuretted hydro
gen the slips darken and finally be-
come DlacK, the rapidly Win Wnlcn the
change occurs giving data for forming an
estimate of the amount Of gas The air of
the apartment may at the same time be
compared with that of the streets by sus-
pending another slip of loaded paper out
side of one of the windows in such q
position that it may be in the shade at all
times.
The physiological effects of sulphuret-
ted hydrogen vary with the degree of
concentration. If it is strong it acts like
narcotic, and the person soon faints, but
may be restored if removed at once into
the fresh air and treated with stimulants
and the cold water douche There is al
lays more or less nausea, even though the
gas may be very dilute. Its poisonous
effect is doubtless due in all cases to its
absorption by the blood, and subsequent
action on the iron o. the discs, whereby
the huid loses its red color and becomes
