What are the effects of different kinds
of intellectual work on the cerebral cir
culation? This question NJ. Gley, a
French Psychologist, has attempted to
answer by experiments made upon him
self. When he applied himself to a
subject which he had O difficulty in
understanding thoroughly, and had,
therefore, to concentrate all his ener-
gies upon it, the rhythm of the heart
wa far more accelerated than when he
took up some matter with which he
was we'll acquainted.

of the appearance of the last comet she

comets discovery. Immediately she
discontinued her journey and returned
to Vassar to make q series OF observa-

known as the postal card trick. A postal
card is split, thus forming two thin
cards. The secret message is written
upon the inner sides Of tho two halves,
after which the sides are pasted to-
gether, care being taken to paste only
on the edges. A commonplace message
is then written upon the outside, and
the unsuspecting warden into whose

American Sheep.

It is a reproach to the farmers of
America that we are compelled to import
much OF the wool with which to make
our necessary wearing apparel. We
wanr more and better sheep than we
have ever had before, and instead of
this being a market for foreign wool
the current should be turned the other
way. The best we can do, however, it
will be G long time before We can spare
any of our wool in foreign markets, and,
indeed, we may feel proud when our
production is sufficient to fairly NEE
the home demand, which it must be re.
membered is being very materially aug
mented by emigration to our shores,
while upon the other hand there is q
corresponding decrease in the demand
in the countries from which these emf
grants come, owing to the same cause.
One obstacle to a more general sheep
raising has been the seemingly depressed
condition of the wool market for many
years. In view of the fact, how
ever, that the losses of sheep during
the last winter were greater than of any
other kind Of stock, the gradually
strengthening demand at the present
time would seem to warrant the general
belief that fockmasters will not have to
accept mean compensation for their
abor.-DroUcrS' Journal.

Liberal Use of Manure.

J. Bridgeman, of the Elmira Farmers
club, illustrates the value of the liberal
application of barnyard manure by the
following story: A story of my early
observation comes to my mind. When
I was eighteen years old my father was
going away from the farm for a few
days, and he gave me a task to perform
in his absence. It was to draw out ma.
nure to a lot assigned. I had a young
associate, Perry Stowell, to help me,
but neither of US knew how closely the
loads should be placed, 50 we drew
seventy-fve loads with a yoke of three
year-old steers and n horse lis our
team, and when we had finished it was
found that We had put all those big
loads on an acre and q half. That was
more than thirty years ago, but the
ground that was dressed 30 heavily has
in all that time never forgotten the ap.
plication. If I pillow it for grain I get a
bigger crop than from any other like
area in the field, it brings more corn,
more grass; in fact, it feels that manure
to this day, although I cannot suppose
any of it's substance is left. The fact
is it made that acre and a half so
much better than other land alongside
that bigger crops were a matter of
course, and the very fact of raising big
ger crops implies more refuse matter to
decay in the soil and so maintain fertility
in the first place imparted,i in this case by
the seventy-fve loads of manure. There
is always a sitter sod, stronger growth
on that land, making it worth enough
more to pay for what at the time was
considered wasteful use of the manure.

The Chinese and Japanese build
most of their vessels of teak. This wood
is very durable, and will stand the water
better than any other wood that is used
for shipbuildihg. According to the
Australasinn Shipping Ntrs, there lies
of the bottom of Dusky bay a large ves-
sci that can be plainly seen in clear
water. She has been there for cen
turtles, and the Maois have q legend
about her. They say that their grand
fathers told them that in their child
hood a large vessel sank in Dusky bay;
that the crew managed to reach one of
the small islands and after living there
for years died off one byone. Who they
were or where they came from the
Maoris could not soy. A diver Is said
to have recently examined this mys-
ferrous old hulk. He reported that she
is built of teak and appears to be still
perfectly sound and firm.

The family tree of the Vassars will be
a list of philanthropists. Matthew Vas
sar, nephew of tho founder Of Vassar
college for females, at Poughkeepsin, N.
Y, after devoting many years of his life
to its service, b~equeathed @ large share
of his property to that and kindred in
stitutions in Poughkeepsie. The college
receives $3.50, 600, the Vassar Brothers
Home for Aged Men $4,000, tho Vassar
Brothers Hospital S85, 600, and the
last-named institution is also made re-
siduary legatec, giving it, probably, a
very large endowment. These latter
charities are the work of the two broth
ers, who bear the same name MS the
Vassar brothers of the last generation.
Another charity, the Institute for the
Poughkeepsie Scientific and Literary
association, is not remembered in the
will, as the project was begun after the
will was drawn. The surviving brother,
John Guy Vassar, announces that he
renounces in advance all legacies under
Matthew's will, and Will cree: the insti-
trte as a monument TO his memory.

Notwithstanding what has been writ
tel in English and French books Of
American travel, New York city is at a
considerable distance from the forests
in which wild beasts are hunted by men,
and sometime succeed in reversing the
situation. But in the wilderness of
water on nearly every side are man-eat-
ing monsters which Of late have been
coming up to the piers and gnashing
their teeth at the populace. To venture
among Them might be as perilous as to
20 unarlned into an Eastern Jungle; yet
small boys sit on beer kegs along the
docks and anxiously angle for them.
Several sharks have thus been hooked,
and hauled to dry land through the aid
of robust butchers from the stalls near
by, and their captors have made large
profits by putting small tents over them
und charging admittance fees. 1t has
been a feature of the seasons catch
that each shark captured has turned out
to be a roan-eater of more conspicuous
characteristics and of greater vor"city
than any of the others-if the aver
ments OF it's captors have been trust'
worthy.

Black. birch is pressing it's claims to
succeed black walnut as an ornamental
wood. It is much the same color as
cherry, and can be stained so as to look
like walnut. Where the land is high
and dry the fiber is firm and clear, but
in low, wet soil it is soft and of o blush
hue. It is already used largely for the
perforated chair bottoms. The Toronto
Globe says hat it is very abundant in
Ontario. 1t is so solid, however, that
it does not float after soaking afew days
in water, and unless it is so situated as
to be RATED with pine logs it has to be
dragged great distances by horse power.
In consequence of it's prospects in SUI
perseding walnut, it is already rising in
price. Probably, however, says a West
ern paper, its reign will be of short du'
ration, as the cultivation of black wal
nut is rapidly becoming q regular in
dustry. 1t is regarded as one of the
most profitable OF crops-if n can af-
ford to wait.

The So.Cullcd Hog Cholera.

If there is any one subject upon
which people have muddled ideas it is
that of diseases of swine, and conse-
quently if from any cause q number of
hogs in a herd or neighborhood die ill
the same week or month the statement
is made and circulated that "cholera "
prevails. The term is comparatively q
meaningless one and 10 made to apply
to any of q dozen symptoms, when in
reality hogs do not have any disease
that rightly could be called cholera;
hence when our farmers lose some of
their hogs we hope they will investigate
and see if the loss is not due rather to
some mismanagement OF their W than
to any epidemic. OF course it matters
little to the loser by what name the dis
ease is called which robs him of the
best of his herd, but no man in his
right mind can supposethe hog becomes
sick or dies from mere stubbornness.
Some law of nature has been violated,
and natures penalty, disease, follows.
Nature points %unerringly to the fact
that the hog as we'll as any other animal
requires a variety of food, and no greater
mistake is made by breeders than con-
ining him to corn day after day through
out the year. For fattening purposes
nothing better than that can be pro-
duced for the same money is likely to
found, but for healthy, vigorous growth
and making it is far from a perfect
food. 1t is too '~carbonaceous for bone
ormuscle production, and without these
an animal cannot have vitality, activity
or endurance. The UNMARRIED use of it
causes a feverish condition of the sys-
tenn, constipation, suspension O fgrowth,
and o general debility which make the
animal q ready and easy prey to other
and more malignant forms of diseases.
The Canadian and Yankee farmers do
not lose their hogs from cholera; with
some corr they led potatoes. pumpkins,
waste apples, vegetables, oats, beans,
barley, bran, shorts, millstuf, peas,
etc., a variety that produces a remark
able growth. of healthy hogs at a mini
mum cost.
In the Western States, where farmers
raise hogs by hundreds, the most prac.
ticable means of supplying a change OF
feed is to grow clover, beets md arti-
chokes. Rightly managed, either OF
these will yield on on acre IN enormous
quantity of food on which pigs, shoats
and breeding animals thrive amazingly,
with little danger of the numerous all
ments that cholera is & handy but non
sensical name for. Corn is coed. we'll
nigh indispensable, but our farmers
will be better off when they fully real
ize that something else is better to
raise pigs on.-HnnsaS Farmer.
