The evil effect of the electric LIGHT

The labors of the SeismolopicaI 90
ciety of Japan have established the fact
that there is chronic center of dis.
turbance within radius OF few miles
from Yokohama.
1t has been computed that the power
OF the steam engines of England would
suffice to raise from the auarries and
place in position all the great pyramids
in eighteen hours.
Teachers OF the elementary classes
of the colleges of Paris have been
ordered to conduct their pupils into the
galleries OF tho Museum OF Natural His
tory, to explain to them the differences
OF the several kinds of animals, plants

to collect specimens during their walks
around the city.
Holes may be bored in porcelain by
means of an ordinary machine drill.
The drill is kept moist with oil of tur-
pentine, and caused to revolve RAPIDLY
by taking one twist of the string of 0
bow about it and drawing the bow
quickly backward and forward, after
the manner of using saw, while tho
head of the drill is held in position by
loose oiled brace.
1t is believed By many scientific men
that close connection may be traced
between the remarkable electrical
phenomena lately observed all over the
world and the excited condition of the
sun. As the sun has not yet reached
the elimination of its period Of dis
turbance, it is thought that vet more
startling outbursts of natures forces
may be seen ere the close of thepresent
summer.

to solve the riddle, and with excellent
success. Along the foot of the hill he
has several instruments, and has con-

HEALTH HINTS,

The only sale and immediate remedy
within tho reach of L on-professional,

/ Is to pour stream of cold water from

of the patient.
The majority of people are apt to neg
lect the feet. Frequent bathing of the
feet in water in which a small quantity
OF bonx has been placed is conducive
TO health and comfort. Ammonia and
bay rum, though cleansing, have a ten
dency to dry the skin and close the
pores. Hosiery should be frequently
changed, and the feet, ankles and calves
of the legs annointcd with healing oil or
salye Never use cheap or highly per-
iumed soap, as 1t has tendency to dry
and parch the skin, and so close the
pores as TO prove very injurious to
health. CASTLE, olive oil and other vege-
table ell soaps are the best for the flesh.

TIMELY TOPICS.

The massacre in New Guinea of a
number of missionaries is announced.
They were attacked by the natives at
Kato, in the district of Port Moresby
HUN, and four of them, with two of
their wives, four children and two SER
wants, were killed. provocGtion was
given, but it is stated that the porpe-
traitors of previous massacres on the
coast had not been punished, and this
is looked upon rs the main cause OF the
outbreak.
Tho supreme court of Denmark has
sentenced thirty-ninc negroes, including
three women, to death, on account OF
their participation in the murders and
incendiarism during the late negro
riots in the island of Santa Cruz, in the
West Indies. As several of the prison
ers appear to have the right to claim
being British subjects, their condemna-
tion will most probably lead to diplo-
matte interference by the British gov
crnmcnt.
Mr.. John Burroughs announces,
through Forest and Stream, that his ex-
l'Niiiu'ip III lhlioAutluB lllt I4uEllSu
skylark in this country has proved a
failure. Mr.. Burroughs imported seven
of these birds in April two of them
died and the other five, which were
liberated, have disappeared, and it is
probable that they have also died or
been killed. Mr.. Burroughs thinks
that the size OF the country and the
climate are unfavorablc to the intro
duction Of the skylark, but suggests
that if number of the birds were lib
Grated on an island off the coast they
might multiply and eventually spread
to the mainland.
Russia is far behind the rest of Europe
in the matter Of postal intercourse.
While in England thirty letters are an
nually transmitted for each individual
of the population, in Germany fourteen,
and in France thirteen, the number sent
to Russia does not allow one letter to
each inhabitant. The unscrupulous in
spection to which letter is officially
subjected upon the slightest provocation,
the low order of general intelligence,
and the lack of postal facilities. There
are towns in Russia where letters are
delivered only once IA month, and in
some of the largest provincial towns
there is post only twice week. AT
present the gross revenue of the de-
partment is 100000 rubles, which
Just about covers the expenditures.

defeated by equal numbers of Mexican
soldiers.
The plain Apaches are also brave,
but deal more in wiles and stratagem
than in open warfare; yet they are foes
by no means to be despised when fight
ing in their own territories.
The hill Apaches are the most terri
BILE of all the savages along the from
tier. The are willy and astute, and
never fight in the open field. Should a
party of well-armed white men, num-
bering not more than thirty, pass
through the heart of their country, they
will not attack them if they believe
they are liable of losing of their own
force number equal to their enemies.
1t is utterly impossible to surprise
them in their villages and caves, for
they possess a vast number of half
starved cur dogs who roam nightly far
from the villages, and on the approach
of strangers awake their masters by
their loud barking yelps.
Such are the savage foes that cluster
along our southwestern borders and
murder our frontiersmen and soldiers.
The only way to put them down, to
defeat and dishearten them, is to fight
them in their own style, and eschew
the methods adopted and carried out
by the regular officers of aur army. A
number of companies, of the old-fash-
ioned border organization, should be
started on the war-path, and they
would soon drive the savages back to
their mountain Businesses. Under the
present system employed, the war will
last for years, thousands of settlers
will be murdered in the meantime,
while one of the richest mineral regions
on earthwill for a long time continue
inaccessible to our industrious and
hardy placer and silver miners.

Fattening Poultry for Market.

In view Of the fact that so much of
the poultry offered for sale in our mar
kets is SO poor and tough as to be al
most unfit for human food, the re-
marks on the subject above, by d wri-
ter in the Practical Farmer, are worthy
of consideration. He says:
No fowl over two years old should
be kept in the poultry yard, except for
some special reason. An extra good
mother, or finely feathered bird that
is desirable as breeder, may be pre-
served until ten years old with advant-
age, or at least so long as she is service
able. But ordinary hens and cocks
should be fattened at the end of the
second year for market. When there
is room or shed that can be closed.
the towels may be confined there. The
floor should be covered with two or
three inches of fine sawdust, dry earth,
sifted coal ashes, or clean sand. The
food should be given four times day,
and clean water be always before the
towels. a dozen or more fowls may
be put at once in this apartment, so
that there may not be too many ready
to sell at one time. The best food for
rapid fattening, for producing well fla
vored flesh and rich fat, is buckwheat
meal, mixed with sweet skinned milk,
into thick mush. A teaspoonful of
salt should be stirred in the food for
dozen fowls. Two weeks feeding is
sufficient to fatten the fowls, when they
should be shipped for sale without
delay, and another lot put up for
feeding. If the shed is kept dark and
cool, as it should be, the fowls will
fatten all the quicker fol it.

Under the Weather

The Boston Traveller, beneath Tie
heading, "Vennor Again Under the
Weather" has printed comparative
table of facts and predictions showing
that August was altogether too much
for the Canadian prophet. His pre-
dictiOn for the lst was correct, and on
the 18th, 10th and 18th he made an ap-
proach at correctness, but on each of
the remaining twenty-seuen days the
weather was the direct opposite of
that which he predicted for that
day.
