FAST TRAINS.

Three of the oldest and most competent
engineers to whom was committed the rum
ming Of the fast trains, not long since asked
relief at the hands of the superintendent of
the road. They had found that the mental
and nervous strain which came upon them
while urging their locomotives at this high
rate of speed was so great that they found
themselves unable to bear it. One of these
men, an acquaintance of our informant,
was few months before stalwart man.
with a nervous organization which seemed
capable of bearing anything that could be
put upon it. He now had grown thin and
haggard, while his brawny hand was tremb-
ling as if an incipient palsy had stricken
him. He had been compelled to say to the
management "You must give me slow
freight train upon which can have an op-
portunity to recover myself, or shall he
compelled to resign my position in order
to save my health, and even my life" To
these men, the excitement, coupled with
responsibility, great enough at ordinary
times, becomes simply unbearable when
their engine was rushing over the rails at
a speed of fifty or sixty miles an hour.
These men were trained men, schooled to
calmness and alertness combined, and had
years of experience, but this excessive de-
nand was too much for them.
There is something pathetic in this state
ment. 1t is we'll known that the. relative
cost of running railload train at high
speed is vastly more than running the same
train at lower rate, and the wear and tear
of locomotive, rail, and road-bed are so
much greater, but we do not remember to
have seen any facts exhibited as to the en-
hancedIoss of nerve and vital power taken
from the men who control these material
forces. That does not, as far as we. know,
ever appear in any annual report of the di-
rectors of railroad. Possibly it has never
been taken into the account or had a
thought.
The passenger sits calmly enjoying the
gentle sway or the glide as the telegraph
poles fit by him, and steps from the car
with an exultant remark about the less than
two hours between the cities nearly a hun
dred miles apart, but gives never a thought
to the man in front who, with strained eye,
and hand on the lever, was all the time Civ
ing literally, moment by moment, part o of
his life for those whose safety depended up
on the touch Of his hand upon the polished
bar.-Christim Union.

He WAS VERY FREsH.-A young man
who had introduced himselfto young lady
by raising the window for her, was glibly
talking of his travels. He has been good
many places during his lifetime, hadn't for
gotten any of them and didn't seem to miss
one in his account. He was so much inter
ested in his conversation that he failed to

FIELD PE4s.-A correspondent of the
Southern .Clltiuator gives the following ad-
vice about peas: For making vine as we'll
as for hardness and uniformity of ripening,
the clay pea, or old fashioned cow pea is
the best. 1t is late in maturing, but this is
no objection, when hay is the object, be-
cause the dry cool weather of October is the
best of all to cure it in. We prefer to cut
it when the young pods are pretty we'll
formed.
Where seed is the object we prefer an
early maturing variety-a rain will often
make crop of these, when slow grower
would fail to ripen. For earlyness and
standing the weather, the black pea, which
came to Georgia from Tennessee. un-
der the name of Virginia black pea, is the
best we have ever planted. 1t is quite as
early as the speckled or whippoorwill. We
had it some years ago, hut in changing To-
cality, have about lost it.
For hay, cut when dry; as soon as'it is
slightly wilted put in cocks marrow and
high,) in a day or two combine two or three
cocks in large one, and continue combin-
ing, until about cured-avoid exposure to
sun and dew. House when cured.

CURING GREEN FoDDER.-Much Of the
value of green fodder depends upon the
method of curing. Usually a considerable
portion of grass clover and green fodder es-
capes, and is lost during the exposure to the
sun and wind in drying it on the field. The
best dry fodder or hay is cured by fermen-
tation in the cock. One of the chief points
of value in ensilage is the process of fermen-
tation in curing, by which the woody fibre
is softened and partly turned to gum, starch
and sugar, and is made soluble and digesti-;
blei When'grass or green fodder is cut and
wilted only and then put up in heaps or
cocks feet in diameter and feet high it
soon heats and ferments and undergoes a
process of curing, which is to some extent
partial decomposition-in a chemical sense
only, however, which is change to other
valuable elements, but not disorganization.
This process is permitted togo SO far as it
is safe and useful, when it is arrested by
complete drying by opening the cocks and
exposing them to the air and sun until the
moisture is evaporated. The hay or fodder
is then soft and pliable, and not brittle and
harsh, and does not break up in handling,
and it's color ischanged to brownish green.
1t may then be stored in the usual manner.

THE TOWERS OF SCIENCE.-When Lord
Randolph Churchill was in Bombay little
time since, he visited, among other places
Of interest in the surrounding neighborhood, q,
the towers of science. AS result OF this
visit the following comments aretO be found
incribed in the visitors book, with the no.
bic lords signature at the foot:
"At the request of the secretary of the
Parsee Punchayet, | allow myself to eX-
press the opinion that funeral obsequies
conducted in accordance with the teach
ings and precepts Of Zoroaster, as they
have been explained to me though pecu-
liar to a comparatively limited number of
the inhabitants Of this earth, and undoubt-
edly novel to the stranger from the west,
are entirely agreeable to the principles of
q pure religion, and may be and are in
geniously and powerfully supported by
physiological science and experience"
The Parsees, who are very active and
rich class in Bombay, will no doubt feel
fiattered that their practice of exposing their
dead on the towers, to be eaten by vul-
lures according to the Zoroastian behest,
should be thus fayorably regarded by one
so we'll known in the political world OF the
western island with which their great em-
pire is associated. The practice has certain
ly much to recommend it in tropical coun-
try; it is cheap, cleanly, and exceedingly
expeditions. Men, women, and children
are put into separate divisions, on the top
of the towers; but their bones, those OF
the rich and poor alike, mingle in the
we'll below, into which they disappear in
the course of time. Lord Randolph Church
hill, like many other European visitors,
may have felt the towers rather gloomy
and repugnant sight; but the trouble of Il
Journey to them is more than repaid by
the magnificent view to be had from the
terrace in front of them of Bombay and the
Indian ocean.-Lontlon World.
Is THE COLOR OF TIE Sun BLUE 1T
may be asked What suggested the idea
that the sun may be blue rather than any
other color? My own attention was first dl-
rected this way many years ago, when
measuring the heat and light from different
parts of the SUMS disk. II is known that
the sun has an atmosphere of it's own, which
tempers it's heat and by cutting off certain
radiations, and not others, produces the
spectral lines we are familiar with. These
lines we customarily study in connection
with the absorbing vapors of sodium, iron
and so forth, which produce them; but my
own attention was particularly given to the
regions of absorption, or to the color it
caused; and I found that the SUMS body
must be deeply blush, and that it would

COLOR OF FLowERs.-Sir John Lubbock
has recently described some curious expert
ments bearing on the preference for certain
colors exhibited by bees, and having refer
ence to the important part which they play
in removing pollen from one flower to an.
other. He placed on lawn small pieces OF
differently colored paper, each paper having
found, after many observations, that the
bees seemed to prefer blue to any other tint.
This is a curious result, seeing that they
have so much to do with the origin of flow
ers, blue flowers being more rarely found
than those of any other color.

sSg-. There is no such disease as hollow
horn. When cattle are sick their horns are
apt to be cold, but we must look elsewhere
than to the horn for the disease. 1ndiges-
tion is quite apt to be the cause, and this
is often accompanied by loss of appetite, in
dicated by a refusal to chew the cud. 1t is
a popular mistake to suppose that the cud
has been lost and must be replaced. We
might as we'll talk of putting an appetite
into dyspeptic man. Exercise and care
full feeding will bring cattle around all right,
and men also, for that matter.

THE WEIGHT OF A1R.-All know that
air has weight, but one is apt to have rather
vague ideas as to the weight of comparative
ly limited quantities of it. A cubic foot of
air weighs $751; grains, or something over
ounce; 1906 cubic feet weighs one pound:
About 65 feet of cubic air furnish one pound
of oxygen. An apartment feet high, II
feet vide and 13 feet long contains about
100 pounds ofair; and a room 10 feet square
and IS feet high contains about ton.

AN ANTIDoTE FOR PoIsoN.-Ifa person
swallows any poison whatever, or has fallen
into convulsions from having overloaded
the stomach, an instantaneous remedy,
most efficient and applicable in a large
number of cases, is heaping teaspoonful
of common salt and as much ground must
ard, stirred rapidly in a teacupful of water,
warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. 1t
is scarcely down before it begins to come up,
bringing with it the remaining contents
of the stomach; and lest there be any re-
mains of the poison, however small, let the
white of an egg or a teaspoonful of strong
coffee be swallowed as soon as the stomach
isquiet, because these very common articles
nullify a large number Of virulent poisons.
Ras~ The pig is no exception to the rule that
all domestic animals require salt. The few
animals which are fed slops from the house
will get some salt in this kind of feed, but
not enough, and they do better if mixture
of salt and ashes is left where they can eat as
they wish. Many believe that lack ofproper
sailing is one cause of hog cholera where
large droves are kept and given grain and
water. When men are deprived Of salt Sc
rious diseases result. In some respects the
internal structure of human beings resem-
bles that of the pig.

THE TESTIMONIAL CONCERT.
MRS. BRue's Farewell Tribute
Largely Attended, and IA Pro-
gFamme Finely Rendered,

4 very select and intelligent audience
was that which gathered at the Opera
House last evening on the occasion of the
complimentary benefit rendered to Mrs.
General Bane. The performance was
greatly appreciated and will long remain
in the memories of the participants and
the audience as an occasion of interest
and pleasure.
Mrs. Bane herself appeared to the
very best advantage. Her rendition of
portraits from Carlton were faithful and
artistic pictures. To reproduce the intent
and ideal of the author is no easy task to
accomplish, but the rendering of the
Legend of the Virgin" and "The New
Church Organ" pieces SO vastly different
IN thought and composition, were most
excellent efforts of reading and acting.
The makeup and costumes left nothing
to be desired, while they added much to
the interest and effect of the impersona-
tons, which showed careful study and
patient practice on the part of Mrs. Bane.
The william Tell" overture by Prof.
Krouse and Mr.. Mcintyre, was the in
strumental gem of the evening, and its
fine execution received much applause.
The solos of Mrs. Newcomb, Miss Fay
Van Trott and Miss Grace Almy, each
won a recall, and the fine deep voice of
Mr.. I. Harper was heard to good advan-
tage in ''The Raft" Mrs. Agnes
