when and How to Battle.
New York Telearam.l

NEW YORK Telegram
There is a class Of persons for whom
sea air and bathing is more hurtful tn an
helpful. Yet people who are regularly
i'll, year after year, while undergoing
the penance on the sea coast, never
think of asking medical advice. There
is no manner of doubt that some re-
ceive harm, while others receive much
less good than they otherwise would do
if they were to adopt moderation in the
use of good thing. Some people rush
off Immediately they reach their desti-
nation and battle under hot and broil-
ing sun, and to economic their short
holiday take three or four baths daily.
Nisitors to the seaside should wait
two or three days to accustom them
selves TO the change of air before vent
uring into the water, and they should
c0nfine- themselves to bathing on fine
and dry mornings, between 8 and ~
o'clock, or perhaps between or 6
o'clock in the evening; but of course the
state of the tide should to some extent
influence their movements. During the
middle of the day, when the sun is
shining fiercely, the sea is more likely
TO hurt than to benefit them, and may
even do serious or fatal injury. The
chief thing to guard against, however,
is the imprudent assumption that
bsthing Is good for everybody; but this
is not so, as many find to the. cost.

Physical Egso. of the Panama Canal

DR.. Charles Pickney, man of fine
learning and observation, opens up a
stupendous suggestion. He asked the
other day, Have you thought much
of the physical effect of the Panama
canalf'
mot much"
''Well, let me throw out suggestion.
The Pacific ocean is five times as large
as the Atlantic. The rotary motion of
the earth, acting on water near the
equatorial line, of course, has a ten
dency to pile it up. The bulk of the
Pacific being so much larger than the
Atlantic, is lifted twenty-eight feet
higher than the Atlantic. For the same
reason, that of its bulk, it is about 20
degrees colder. Now imagine the effect
of this enormous body Of water, twenty
eight feet higher in level and 20 degrees
lower in temperature, being poured
into the Atlantic through the canal. "
''Why doesn't it seek its level below
the capel"
Because that point of meeting is so
far from the equatorial line that the
centrifugal force is not so great, and
the levels of the two oceans are the
same. Up about the Panama, the diff
ference in levels is great, and the i'm

down into the Atlantic with terrific
force
Sand with what effect2'
'"That is almost beyond speculation.
But suppose this mingling { the two
oceans simply changed the current OF
the gulf stream. That one change
would wipe out the cotton and rice in
dustry, making Georgia many degrees
colder. These are speculations; but the
cold facts are as stated, and it is in
teresting to think of what viii be the
effect when this canal is cut, and the
high immensely of the Pacific IS dropped
to the level of the Atlantic"

One mild day, during the past win
ter, an old darkey walked into store;
In q small town in North Carolina, and
said he wanted to look at some horse
collars The clerk showed him several
kinds. telling him the prices, and expa-
tiated at considerable length on their
quality and cheapneSs, as the practical
salesman knows so. well how to do.
After some time, as the old man did
not seem to be in any particu-
lar hurry about making selec-
ton, the clerk, who had pretty well
exhausted his stock of talk, asked him if
his horse was near by, remarking that
it would be better to bring him to the
store, as he could give him a collar that
would fit him more easily if he were
present.
''Weil, you see, boss said the
darley, II amt jist got a boss yit, but l
lows to git one mex spring If l kin ind
anybody to stan my security, and / jist
tho't I'd look 'roun' aud see whar cud

tered off.

The BIue-BlcOded Alaskan.
TSitka Letter

In Alaska each family has what is
called their totem pole-eoat- of arms
to represent the descent and previous
alliances of their people. These poles
consist of carved images of animals or
birds and represent what their family
is supposed to have descended from
and into what families their children
have married, all images representing
the descent on the mothers side.
Each town of Indians is divided into
two families, called the Kocwan- ties
and the Keck, sa-ties, meaning warriors
and civilians respectively. The head
man of each family is the leader, but in
descent strange rule is followed, for,
instead of rank and property descend
ing from father to son, it passes from
father to nephew on the mothers side
of the family. But in order for nephew
tossueceed to the rank and property
Of his uncle, lie must be able to make
certain number of presents to the mem
bers of thesfamily, and then marry the
chiefs widoW-his aunt-no matter
how many wives he may have already.

Oyster Farming.
[Harper's Young People.l

1OuHE LOOpAc-l
In addition to natural oyster beds
there many 'oyster farms" where these
delicious mollusks are regularly Guilt
waited Stakes are driven in the mud in
shallow water, and branches 'of trees,
rough boards or stones are placed be-
tween them for the baby oysters to
fEsten themselves to. When the nur-
sery is ready, several boat-loads of oys
tiers are dropped near the spot. They
increase and grow rapidly, being ready
Tor the table in from two to three years.
Oysters are generally fshed with a
dredRe. As this instrument is dragged
over the bed the teeth pull up the oys-
Eers, both large and small, from their
resting place. Those that are too
young for market are thrown back into
the water, and if they fall on a suitable
surface they viii attach themselves and
continue to grow. Many of them, how
ever, sink in the mud and are suffo
Gated.
The process of dredging is also de-
structive to the oysters which remain
on the bed, as they are roughly torn
from each other and dragged into the
mud. Here they. can not open their
valves without admitting the mud, and
this is certain death to an oyster.

I Beekeepers should impress on the minds
( Of their customers that extracted honey i

understands that by machinery specially
prepared for the purpose the comb is rap
idly revolyed, the honey is thrown ont OF

hive to be filed again, and again extracted.
This gives pure honey; not strained honey

Queer of good poultry and eggs.
The English and Scotch farmers begin
to realize that it is far mere profitable for
them to raise blooded stock of any Of the
improved breeds than it is to grow crops
to feed the people, which can be grown
cheaper abroad. Shire and Clyde horses
are freely purchased BY Americans at lib
eral prices, as are also their Shorthorn,
Hereford and Polled Cattle. So it is in
this country; the raising ofimproved stock
pays much better than raising grain.
Every farmer should recellect that every
weed permitted to 60 to seed will produce
hundreds of more weeds that will require
a hundred times more effort to destroy an
other year. 1t is better to let no weeds 60
10 seed to produce others which rob the
soil and prevent the growth Of useful
plants. What shame it Is to see good
pasture or q good farm taken BY weeds
Clean, thorough farming is what is needed
in this age of sharp competition among
farmers.
