A New Safety Cage.

L. Richardson, of Bodie, has in
vented new safety cage which, he
claims, renders accidents impossible,
As long as the weight of the cage Is
sustained by the cable it moves up
and down the shaft smoothly, but
should the cable break or slacken
the cage stops Immediately. The
model of il shows it to be very
simple continuance. Mr.. Richard
son says that ex-senator Stewart
looked at the model aud unhesitat-
lngly pronounced it the best thing
of the kind he had ever seen, and
advised the inventor to apply for a
patent, saying he would aid him all
in his (Stewart's) power to get it.
Mr.. Richardson intends to take steps
to introduce his new invention to the
notice of mining men, feeling conf
dent that he has surmounted sll the
difficulties that surrounded the con-
struction of cage entirely free from
danger.

sheets, as also all hessg articles that
cannot be removed ntst, however,
having carefully busted and brushed
them. Remove all the furniture that
can easily be set in the hall or adj

then, taking u step. ladder, begin to
sweep or brush or wipe the cornice
and picture cords and pictures. Draw
the shades to the top of the window
or, II there are inside blinds, dust
them carefully. Open the windows.
All the dust left in the room now is
In the carpet or air and the current
of the windows will soon settle it.
Now begin to sweep, not toward
door or corner, but from the outer
edges Of the room toward the centre,
where the dust will be taken up with

over the room once more-this time
with a dampened broom; that re.
moves the last bit of dust and gives
the carpet new, bright appearance.
Replace the articles of furniture as

dust, uncover the rest and the room
is new and clean. All this seems
very easy to do, ont there is not one

Sheep-FOlds Of Many Nations.

At the meeting of the Western New
York Sheep Breeders Association in
Rochester recently an interesting paper
was read by William G. Markham, Civ
ing an account of observations on sheep
husbandry made by him during an ex-
tended journey through Europe and
Asia. In Rome. Mr.. Markham visited
the sheep farm of the Pencintini Broth
ers, who OWL flock of 5000 sheep,
5000 of which are MIXED twice day,
and the milk is used for cheese and
curds. The average yearly production
of each animal is estimated as worth
$500, besides which there are three
pounds of wool. The sheep ON this farm
are large and strong, and of the meriuO
type. The japanese Mr.. Markham pro-
nounced as the most enterprising peo-
Pile among the Eastern nations. At
Yokohama he found stock farms devO-
ted to thoroughbred horses, cattle and
sheep. and established fruit nurseries.
Upon one of the Government sheep
farms was flock of 600 American me-
rinos. from which two crops of lambs
had been raised, making an annual in
crease of eighty per cent. to the flock.
Fully ninety per cent. of the sheep which
had been shipped from America were
living and in good condition. There
were also !. 200 merinos from Australia
showing the same annual increase, but
not in as good condition. Mr.. Markham
described the sheep on the celebrated
farm Rambouillet, near Paris. These
approach the type of the American me-
rino, especially those bred to the delaine
form. They are comparatively free from
wrinkles. and below the American stand
ard in density OF fleece and weight of
carcass.
In concluding his address, minute in
details. MIR. Markham said that the
manufacturers complain because they
are not supplied with superfne wool
He urged, therefore, all breeders pos
sessing superior advantages to supply
this demand. Mr. Markham holds to
the opinion that sheep suited to this
purpose must possess a moderate amount
of wrinkles and an abundant supply of
oil and yolk. As these characteristics
are seriously deficient in the common
f1ocks of the country it was advised that
rapid and valuable results be accom-
plished in bringing up the low types by

Beds and Bedrooms.

Beds and bedding need especial care
On fine days leave your sleeping-roon
windows open several hours, if posi-.
BILE, and, if not too conspicuous, leave
your beds unmade and let pillows and
mattresses air in the sun. Thoroughly
examine the bedsteads; take out the
Stats. which you will probably find COW
cred with dust accumulated dust will
also be found on the Stats of the spring
beds); wipe this off with hot water and
salt. Salt dissolved in a very little
water should be put on with small
paint-brush in all the corners of the bed
stead, to prevent vermin from finding a
place. If they are already there this
must be repeated as often as twice a
week, until they are exterminated.
Also wipe the edges of the mat
tresses well with cloth wrung out of
salt and water. You must meet this
matter promptly and give it your su-
perviSion, riff not attended to at once
they viii get the better of you and cause
you great annoyance.
If there should be any spots on your
mattresses, try spreading paste of
starch mixed with little cold water;
let it remain until quite dry. then brush
off; if the spot still remains, put tea
spoonful of borax to pint OF cold water,
with little soap-enou9h to make good
suds. Scrub the spot with it, using an
old nail-brush or small scrubbing- brush,
afterward wiping dry with clean cloth.
We learned an art few years ago of
a dear old lady with whom we were
spending the summer. She came into
the bright sitting-room one morning
with pillows and ticks and said she was
going to change the feathers from one
into The other. Not hereP" we cried,
starting up in alarm, and with visions
of down and feathers flying all over the
room, over our clothing, and settling in
our hair. But she said, very quietly,
Don't move; you won't know it if you
don't look" But we did look, and
found that we did not know everything.
In each pillow-ti tick she had left an open
ing in the side seam about five or six
inches long, and at the top, in the mid
die, one about three inches long. TAX
ing a pillow in her hand, she shook the
feathers away from the side and down
in the middle of the pillow, keeping
them there with several pins while she
ripped a slit in the side just as long as
the one already in the now one. These
openings she now sewed together, max
ING a communication between the two.
Then she inserted her hand in the space
she had left in the end seam. and we
pinned it closely around her wrist,
leaving no room for the feathers to fly
out. Taking the pins out of the pillow,
she drew the feathers easily out of one
into the other. When they were all
out she carefully removed her hand and
the opening was sewed up. The seam
between the two, as fast as ripped, was
pinned securely and afterwards sewed
up. The pins were taken out, the pill
low beaten into shape, and it was done.
This bit of knowledge has been of great
use to us: let us hope that it will prove
as valuable to yOu.-LGdieS' FIorGt Cab
