Fashions I'm TOmbstones.

There are fashions in tombstones, but they
change slowly. The styles of the present do
not differ much from those of twenty years
ago, but a difference is noticed i'll those set up
fifty or more years ago. There We're never
columns in those days. As now, the cheaper
stones were plain slabs. One Of the expensive
shapes, which always marked a distinguished
grave, was "a marble slab laid horizontally ON
four marble columns, making sort of a
table. The inscription was carved on the top,
which allowed plenty of space for verses,
which no well regulated gravestone of the
first part of the century could do witoout.
These verses, which read so quantity now,
were always written by the pastor 1t was
his duty when one of his parshioners died to
compose n suitable stanza, and the ministers
were always paid for them-a thing that few
periodicals even of those days would have
done. In olden times nothing but brownstone

crude, and one of the requirements OF fashion
was that every slab should have u human face
carved over the inscription. The stylish

A WONDERFUL SALT WELL.
One Well That Has Produced 2O3, 1884,.
400 Gallons Of Salt Water.


400 Gallons Of Salt Water.
One of the greatest wonders of the world
and yet comparatively unknown is the well
which for the last sixteen years las been flow
ing almost pure salt at the rate Of over III, 900
gallons per day. 1t is located in Etna
borough. along Pine creek, just opposite tho
city. The history of the well was related to
a reporter by Mr.. j. l.. Robertson. He said
that in the spring Of 1872 the firm decided to
sink a well to secure natural gas to run their
works, and the contract was given to Chal-
fant & Graft. At depth Of 200 feet n salt
water vein was struck. Shortly after the
tools were lost, and after Fishing" for them
for several months they We're caught. The
well was then drilled to a depth Of 800 feet,
when the tools got lost again, and after spend
ing five months in unsuccessful attempts to
recover them it was decided to abandon the
well
A strong vein of gas was found Mt a depth
of 800 feet, but there was so much salt
water that it could not find its way out. Its
pressure was SO great, however, that the salt
water was forced up nearly ninety feet in the
aiI.
For seven years this salt water continued
to flow at the rate OF sixty barrels Jer hour,
sometimes more and sometimes less, but never
failing short of fifty barrels. 1t swalled the
little brook at its side to a good sized creek
and thence poured into the Allegheny river.
1t was strong in chloride of sodium as to
kill all the fish that came within certain
limits of the place where it entered the river.
The idea of utilizing the water seems not to
have entered any ones mind until about five
We after the well began 10 flow. Several
capitalists then conceived the plan of extract
ing the chloride of sodium from tho water
and manufacturing salt. For some reason
the scheme fell through then, but two years
later q company was formed which established
the second largest saltworks in the United
States, making about 100 barrels of salt daily.
After all the salt has been taken from the
water it goes through process which eX-
tracts the bromide, which forms large pro-
portion Of the character of the water from
the well. This is a very valuable medicinal
product.
When the water le,.ves the latter works it
would he perfectly p.Ire and tasteless Were it
not for the acids; et,. used in extracting the
salt and bromide.
The amount Of water coming from the
well to-day is as great as when it was struck
on some days, for period Of about an hour,
the well becomes unusually agitated and the
pressure simply teri tic, requiring the strong
est kind Of joints md casing to hold the
water.
1t is almost imror-ible to comprehend the
amount Of water this well draws from the
bowels of the earth. In sixteen years, at the
rate of Il, 600 gall'..; per day, it would have
thrown of 203, 1 ;, 400 gallons of water

THE WORLDS POPULATION.

Preponderance of Asia Over Europe and
of Africa Over America.
1t is only in civilized countries-and
that within the last one hundred years
that we have an actual census of the
people. Sweden established as early
as 1775 a quinquennial census; the
United States followed in 1890, with q
decennial enumeration in order to adj
just the number of representatives to
the population. Then came England,
in 1901, with decennial census, fol-
lowed by Norway, Holland and Den
mark, also with decennial periods;
France and Germany every five years;
Austria every six years.
Even with these census returns, the
actual number of people living on this
globe is only conjecturally known.
In former times these conjectures
were very wild. Thus the population
of the earth was estimated by
Riccoli in 1860 at. 81. 1000 900 souls.

These figures remind us very forcibly
Of how narrow the basis is on which the
worlds civilization rests. How enor-
nous is the preponderance of Asia over
against Europe, and of Africa over
against America! We are accustomed to
speak-and quite justly, too-of Asiatic
hordes; but Africa has always been
looked upon us thinly settled Statistics
show that it has its teeming millions.
1t is an interesting question what
would be the result if the millions of
Asiatics should begin migrating. We
know that in the fall of the Roman En-
pire the barbarians were constantly
pushed forward from behind, We know,
also, that medieval Germany had a
hard struggle to defend its frontier
against Hungarians and Slavs. Sup
pose these great masses should begin
to move again, pressed by hunger,
armed, perhaps, with European weap-
ons of warfare Our civilization is
European. Would it be able to with
stand this new wandering of the peo-

lions lie deeply hidden in our own

SEED TESTS.
Results OF Experiments With Old ant
New Vegetable Seeds.

Results of Experiments With Old and
New Vegetable Seeds.
The following are some of the re-
suits of the experiments made at the
New York Experiment Station to de-
termine the influence of age on the
terminating property of seeds. The
seeds used were obtained from reputa-
BILE seedsmen. Among those which re-
tanned their terminating power longest,
or for several years, were tomato, broc-
coli, beet, pea, cucumber, muskmelOn,
eggplant, lettuce, turnip and yellow
locust. About half of the locust seeds
terminated at ten years, and one-eighth
at twenty-seven years. Turnip seed
scarcely deteriorated in seven or eight
years, and half grew at twelve years.
Tomatoes showed a slight change at
fourteen years, and very little at differ
erent lesser periods. Lettuce was
good at four or five years. Musk
melon seed lost nothing at ten years,
and cucumber endured nearly as well.
At thirteen years half of the cucumber
seed grew, and at nineteen years seven
per cent Beets began to lose slightly
at six years, and from tenth to third
grew at fourteen years.
Among the seeds which begin to
deteriorate largely in two or three
years, were asparagus, thyme, endive,
eggplant, corn, cabbage, carrot, cauli-
flower, celery. parsnip, squash and
some others. AS general rule, seeds
of the cabbage tribe appear to be inter-
mediate between the longest keepers
and those which quickly deteriorate.
and broccoli and kale retain their quality
some years.
In all experiments of this character
it should not be forgotten that external
influences often have controlling
effect, and the temperature of the soil
moisture, pulverization, ETC., may
variously alter the periods of germina
ton. The experiments performed al
the station are incomplete, fresh seeds
only having been obtained of many
sorts, and the report claims nothing
more than progress toward conclusions.

PRESENCE OE MIND.
How Dean Stanley Rid Himself Oh

How Dean Stanley Rid Himself OF n
Crazy Visitor.
Dean Stanley had great respect for
presence of mind, and used with great
delight to tell story of presence of
mind by which he had liberated himself
from dangerous visitor. Since he
was willing to see almost any one who
asked for him, he once told u servant
to usher into his study a gentleman
who had called. and who happened to
bear name which was familiar to him.
When the gentleman appeared, he
proved to be, an entire stranger. 1t
was evident there had been some mis-
take. This became still more evident
when, advancing with an air of great
excitement, the gentleman exclaimed:
''Sir, have message to the Queen
from the Most High. | beg that you
will deliver it instantly" 'In that
case" said the Dean, taking up his hat,
there is not moment TO be lost. Let
us go at once" They went down stairs
into the hall; and. opening the door,
the Dean requested his visitor to step
out. No sooner had he done so than
the Dean shut the door behind the lu-
matte. - Christian Union.

1t is wasteful policy, that of ex-
hausting the soil so it will no longer
pay the cost of cultivation. The feed
ing of stock, carting the manure on the
land, and proper rotation will keep the

everywhere to feed all the coarse grains
