Tho progress which has been made in the way
Of rapid transit Is illustrated by tho project for
recurring tho speedier communication botwoen
Hobokon and Jersey City Heights by mcans Of
elevators. This project has bean undertaken BY
a company which proposes to build huge steam
elevators ut the base Of the jersey City Heights,
or Palisades, large enough to carry up cars and
teams III well rs passengers. Each elevator will
accommodate 100 passengers, aud vehicles in
proportion, and will carry them up 200 feet in
about a minute and a quarter, depositing them
in d condition to pursue their journeys into the
various goctions Of Hudson County, N.
j.. where mass Of people reside
who do business in Now York. The
lifting cars arc constructed entirely of iron, with
iron framework contering at an iron ring-bolt
on tho top Of the car, to which wire cables are
attached. It is said that the Hafety-chccks and
tho systom Of running tho elevators are such
TINT accidents aro simply impossible. The Com
pany propose to build largo manufacturing
establishments in connection with thoir eleva-
tors, and rent them out for tho purpose Of util-
izing tho surplus steam powor. The frat OF tho

The Hamo public sentiment which produced
the boor-riot in Frankfost-on-the-A1ain aeoma to
be oxorting itself in Cincinnati. Tho Volks1latt
has created an excitement by declaring that tho
price Of beer Is too high. Beer ls sold In Ciuoin-
maitland very good beer, thoy sny-at % por
kog. It ia said that M experienced and artistic
drawer gots 100 glasses Of beer out Of ovory kog,
which Is sold ut five cents glass, making q
profit OF So on ovory keg that is sold. Tho
Volksblatt Guys that this is too much, and the
Commercial is Of the Same opinion. 1t is hold
that three cents per glass should bo
tho prico Of boor in Cincinnati. The
German aaloon-koepers have taken ofronse
at this attempt to reduce their profits,
and have sought to retaliate by stopping
their subscriptions to the Volfsblat. Tho OBJ
| ject Of this measure Hoouas to havo failed, for
| the VolksblaN sayB that when twenty balloons
cut off their papers, hundred new names wore
Immediately added to the subscription list. It
accounts for this very naturally. The patrons
| Of tho beer-saloona, WHO had boen accustomed
to reading their paper while drinking thoir beer,
subscribed for the paper themselves when they
no longer found it at tho beer-saloons. The dis
cussion Is an interesting ono in Cincinnati, whor'
hoer holds almost as important position as Ii
Frankfort; but It is safe to Say that tho pric
will not bo reduced until after tho Musical Fcssi

THE VERu1N AsPHYxIAroR.-Thos who
have suffered from the ravages of the ground
squirrels and gophers in California, and of
equally annoying animals elsewhere, will
welcome satisfactory method of extermina-
ting these depredators, devised by MIR. Bate
son, the inventor of what he calls the Pat
ent Vermin Asphyxiator, for destroying
animals in burrows, and for other purposes.
| The apparatus consists of vessel capable
of being perfectly closed, in which sheets of
paper saturated with sui hur or other sub
| stances may be burned, and the fumes forced
out through flexible tube by means of a
fan, which delivers the noxious gases with a
pressure sufficient to drive them into the
mlnutest crevices.
In the course of public exhibition of the
apparatus, recently given in London, numer
rous experiments were tried, among them
the destruction of ephdes on plants, of
weevlis in grain, of snakes in hole, of rats
IN drain pipe, etc. For destroying rab-
bits, squirrels, or other animals in burrows,
1t Is only necessary to Introduce the flexible
tube or nose into one of the apertures, close
up the rest, if this can be done conveniently,
and then force a continuous stream OF gas
through the burrows. 4 few minutes ap-
pliCation is sufficient to destroy every living
thing within the influence of the apparatus.
One advantage of this new method is in its
perfect safety, sulphurous acid being one of
the best preventers of CON- bustlon known,
and capable, therefore, of being used for
extlngulshing flames in case of need.
Other incidental applications of the asp
EyxiatOr are as d dlSInectant and deOdorizer.
Ii is well known that su! phurous acid is
used ex extensively for destroying the germs of
smallpox, yellow fever, cholera, etc, al
though there are sometimes difficulties in i
application, which the present arrangement
seems to obviate. The inventor claims that
one or TWO of the machines can easily disin-
feet vessel, on battening down the matches
and working the apparatus from the deek
For cases where the dislodgement of an ami
NAL, as OF a rabbit, etc, Is desired, rather
than Its destruction. what is called a smoke
paper is used, which, when burned in the
machines, produces unbearable fumes that
soon pllah the desired effect.

VIRTUE OF CLovER.-The Live Stock Jour-
nal shows how this plant enriches the land:
Glover, if we could only impress the
fact upon the general farmer, is plant that
draws from the atmosphere and enriches the
land. Other plants do this; but clover
more. 1t has to do with the most vital and
important element in manure, nitrogen, the
very thing that is the rarest and most diff
cult to obtain. Ii improves the soil by it's
roots alone, if the crop is used for other pur-
poses; this even if seed crop is taken.
How much more then if whole crop is
turned down containing SO much nitrogen ?
And you have the manure without working
for it. The plant works for itself and for
you. We get its strength from free source,
the atmosphere, the great storehouse that
gathers from all sources, but most for the
energetic farmer.
And you can make this plant work for
your poor soil. A little manure applied on
the surface will do this, and if plenty of seed
Is sown there will be thick set. Then it
needs chance with the atmosphere, and
plaster will aid this generally. With warm
showers there will De growth almost sur
prislng. 1t will be dense, fine stemmed and
of a fair length, depending somewhat on the
season. Cut this when it begins to lodge,
which will be about the time blossoms ap-
dew consequent on long, coarse lodging, and
the yield will surprise yOu-two and half
or three tons, ami such hay is not made from
any other plant. And the second crop will
be nearly or quite as good as the first.

LAUGHING CHILDREN.-Givem me (savs q
writer) the boy or girl who smiles as soon
as the first rays of the morning sun glance
in through the window, gay, happy and
kind. Such boy will be fit to "make up %
into man-at least when contrasted with
a sullen, morose, grabbed fellow, who snaps
and snarls like surly cur, or growls and
grunts like an untamed hyena from the
moment he opens his angry eyes till he is
$ confronted . by his breakfast. Such a
girl, other things being favorable, will be
good material to aid in gladdening some
comfortable home, or to refine, civilize.
tame and humanize rude brother, making
him gentle, afectionate and lovable. It is
feast to even look at such a joy-inspiring
girl, such woman girl, and see the
smiles flowing so to speak, from the parted
lips, displaying set of clean, we'll brushed
teeth, looking almost the personifcation of
beauty and goodness, singing. and as mer
~ as the birds-the wide awake birds
that commenced their morning concert long
before the azysboys dreamed that the sun q
was approaching and about to pour a
food OF light and warmth upon the earth,
bestowing kind words, sweet smiles and acts
of mercy to all around her-the joy and
light of the household.

GLASS CLoTHING.-To those only ac-
quainted with glass in its ordinary and
brittle form, the possibility of spinning
and weaving it seems incredible. Yet a
composition of glass made in Vienna is
wrought into curled or frizzed yarn of the
uses of which the following description is
given:
These threads are said to surpass the
finest cocoon thread and are soft as silk lint.
Recently it has been used for wrapping
purposes, and by chemists for fltering.
The smooth threads are woven into
textile fabrics which are made upon table
clothes, collars, shawls and a great variety
OF other articles. As material for
tapestry, for covering furniture, for laces,
ETC., it is believed that this tissue will
occupy prominent place.
In softness the yarn almost approaches
silk, and to the touch is like fine wool. 1t
possesses remarkable strength and is not
affected by light, warmth or acids. Spots
are removed by washing. 1t is nom
infammable and incombustible, as well as
having great briliancy ofcolor, is suitable
for dress goods and is much warmer than
cotton or wool, at the same time it is of a
low specific gravity.

USE OF MANURE.-Flsher Ames, one of the
most popular and dstin guished men of his
day, and always regarded as one of the great
lights of Massachusetts,, said in letter to
Josiah Quincy, in 1906, that 60 the only SEN
slble economy in farming is to spend money"
1t is a fact, but it would read better to write
it manure instead of money. Most farmers
have quantity manure, greater or less ac-
cording to their own diligence and skill,
but it isn't every one that has the money to
spend. But this practice or rule of conduct
is within the reach of all, to spend or apply
manure literally, as far as it will 60. We
do not mean to suggest that parts of the
farm sheuld be robbed OF their fair proper
ton to be able to brag on a premium crop,
but that it is best to dc we'll whatever is at
tempted. If there is not enough to do justice
to ten acres under cultivation, 1t may be bet
ter to put it upon five this year and give the
other five their turn next. In other words,
make thorough work of it as far as you 60

TRAINING CoLT.-At very early period
a colt may begin to acquire confd nee in and
sympathy with its owner At a few days
old It may learn submission. At week il
should be used to the halter and accustomed
to handling all over In a few minutes. at
this age, it will learn to lead and become
fearless OF those things by which it is to Re
surrounded. Careful, cautious, patient train
ing from this early period up to the age
when it IS able to begin to work will enable
the colt TO go into harness without any
" breaking, In fact, it is already broken,
or rendered submissive, and shows the natu
raj willingness OF the horse to work to the
extent OF Its ability. Dociity is a natural
trait OF this animal, and with such treat
ment as we have prescribed the colt falls INTO
Its destined place by a natural process. A
colt that has been kindly treated knows no
lear, espt cially in the presence of ITS master.
and is always treasured by the sound of its
masters voice. Patience, kindness. and
hImness, with DO playing of tricks or teasing
allowed from the first week of its life is the
secret OF rearing horse free from vice OF
bad habit.-N. Y. Tribune.

PERTINENT QUGsrIoNs.-1st. Are YOUR
trends and farmers blowing half or less than
malt their usual number of acres?
~. Are they doubling or trebling the
quantity OF manure and blowing it in, not
putdng 1t in the hill,-for the corn and DO
tatoes are better to have it spread
81. Are they not going to double every
field and garden crop they are thus dealing
With, by SO prac icing?
4th. Are they not producing this great
crop on half the number of acres and at half
the cost of Iabor-beginning with the slow
and tedious movement of the OK team and
pillow?
5,h: Are there any old plowed lands lying
over from last year? If SO let them lie till
the proper time for sowing clover, then fall
low 1t until the 25th of August and sow in
winter wheat and get thirty bushels per
acre: Or turn over the old moving sward
IN addition, and get twenty-five bushels per
acre
If farmers will practice on these principles
this year, their average cultivation will be
fednced one-half, their crops kept up, their
pastures renewed from old moving fields.
'heIr lands made permanently better and for
all tIme-the'r forests renewed in many
helds, by anxious and diligent care. Then
VII come the dawn of better DAYS and more
prosperous times to the honest New England
farmer.-HENRY Poor, in Maine Farmer.
