USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Never purchase half-worn tools.
They will cost you more than new
ones in the end.--M Y. Herald.
Wherever milk is used plentifully,
there the children grow into robust
men and women. Whenever the place
is usurped by tea, we have degeneracy,
swift and certain. Troy Times.
"A writer in the London AQricultur-
al Gazette is of the opinion that the
polled or hornless cattle are the elder
type, and that the horned form is the
intrusive modern style.
From sources of information it APP
pears that the best farmers are coming
more and more to the practice of level
culture. Farmers seem to be arranging
their farms so as to have none but level
fields under the pillow.
If as much money was spent in
developing the walking gait of our
horses as is devoted to bring out their
trotting, pacing and running qualities,
the real value of our horses would soon
be very materially enhanced.-Ch Chicago
Times.
Pastures should be dry, free from
slough holes, well seeded with different
kinds of tame grasses, so that good feed
is assured. If timothy or clover, cut
early and cure properly. Feed corn
stalks. pumpkins, ensilage and plenty
of vegetables in winter.
Veal Outlets: Put piece of butter
into a stewpan, with small sprig of
chopped parsley; stir over the fire until
very hot; then pour over cupful of
white sauce-the yelks of three or four
eggs well beaten. Stir constantly until
as thick as cream, but do not let it boil
Dip each outlet into it, covering it
thickly with the sauce, and again set
away to cool. Then egg and bread
crumb them. Fry lightly. The House
hold.
The Chicago Druggist recommends
the following remedy for severe scalds
and burns: Cover the injured parts
freely with soft soap. If the burns be
severe, apply soon after lnseed oil,
with plentiful dressing of flour. This
cakes, and fresh oil and flour can be
added. When this covering falls off a
new skin will have formed, and no scar
left. The same journal says carron oil
| is one of the best remedies where the
skin is unbroken, care, of course, being
| taken to exclude the air from the in
iured part.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

There are now $1,000 growing trees
in Washington, laid at regular intervals
along 125 miles of fine streets.
During the year 1883 fourteen cy-
clones occurred in Illinois, five in Kan
sas, four in Missouri, four in Wisconsin,
four in Iowa, two in Minnesota. and
Dakota, Michigan and Indiana had one
each.
1t is said that places can be found
in New York where what are called
genuine oil paintings, three feet by two
and half, are painted in twenty min
utes. They find ready sale. and are
made exclusively for the American
market NJ Y Sun.
Senators and Representatives get
eight dollars day. and the Speaker OF
the House and President pro tenn. of
the Senate sixteen dollars per day. In
the first Congress the pay was six dol
lars day for members of both Houses,
and in two years of John Adams term
as President, Senators received seven
dollars and Representatives six dollars
per diem. In 1915 it was changed to
$1,000 per annum for members of both
Houses, and in 1877 to eight dollars per
day.-W Washington Republican.
There are in France 1876 miles of
navigable rivers, as against 4, 1870 miles
in 1852, and there are also 1900 miles
OF canals. as against 2. 40 miles in 1852.
This shows an increase in rivers of 3S5
miles, and in canals an increase of 460
miles. But the increases were enor-
mously expensive. Between 1852 and
1873 the outlay for them was nearly
$70,000,000, and since 1873 it has been
about Sj5, 100000 addit onal. Mean
while the quantity of freight carried by
water has increased only 1000, 900 tons.
The largest producers of tobacco
are the States of Kentucky, Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee. The
quantity produced during 1872 was
513,077,58S pounds, grown on 671.522
acres, or about 1000 square miles, and
valued at $43, 1895 The average
value was 2-5 cents a pound, or S64.-
62 per acre. This is more profitable
than wheat or corn growing would be
in the same districts. In 1888 this coun-
try exported tobacco to the value of
SO, 095. 225. and imported to the value
of Sl1, 1885, or over 90 per cent. OF
our exports. Chicago Journal.
California has long had little
trade with Russian Asia. Small con-
signInents of supplies are sent every
spring to Petropaulowski, Nielaefski
and the Amoor River. For the first
ten years after 1864 the amount was
l,161, 700, and for the last ten years,
81, 1865, 300. Flour has been a prom
inent item in these exports from the
start. Last year COCO barrels OF flour
were sent, valued at S3l 900. There
was also value of so, 900 in dry goods.
A novel item in the exports from San
Francisco to Russian Asia last year was
a steamboat, valued at $26, 900, for use
in the AmoOr River

that the procession and Buffers

as it was then 9, the boys repaired
to the basement and struck into a

they returned, and were somewhat
astonished, not to say alarmed, to
learn that the procession had arrived,
Butler had spoken, the people had
dispersed, and the candidate had
gone to bed. The Sun and Herald
men had been told to report Butler
in full; the Times wanted half a
column, and the Tribune and World
were to give HIM a fair show. 1t
was a solemn moment for the young
journalists, but their intellects came
to the rescue. They made a bolt
for Ben's room, got him unexplained
and persuaded him to repeat the
speech. : After he had concluded his
eloquent and impressive remarks,
the boys began to thank him, but he
interrupted, and, shaking his fore
