STATIONS of the effects of electrical

Dr. de Ia Rue. These forced him to
the conclusion that thirty-eight miles
is probably the height at which the

produced as high even as eighty-two
miles. but at height of one hundred

ROTATION OF CROPS.
A Profitable system Which should he In

| A Profitable System Which SHOULD he In.
nuSuratcd In Fall.
The arguments in favor of such a
system are numerous and unanswera,
BILE. 1t needs only a little thought on
the part of the farmer to convince him
of the correctness of the theory, but it
takes more determination to put it into
practice. Everybody knows better
than they usually do, and 30 it
is with the farmer; he knows that to
grow one crop continuously on the
same land will exhaust it. but having
got into certain line of farming it is
hard for him to change. And he does
not. usually, until forced to by the
failure of the land t. longer bear the
crops he has been accustomed to grow.
1t is usually more satisfactory to an
ticipatc the inevitable and do what
must be done some time before that
time actually comes.
The rotation best adapted to any one
farm will depend much on the farm.
the locality and the markets. The one
adopted by Prof. Sanborn on the
College Farm ut Columbia. Mo-, will
probably suit as large a number as any
that can be adopted. He begins. say
with timothy sod. Manures and plows
in the fall for corn in the spring. The
corn is cut early and taken from the
land as soon rs cured. the land plowed
and in the spring sowed to oats and
seeded with clover. The oats arc
moved early for hay. thus giving the
clover . chance to come ON and make n
second crop for hay. The first crop of
clover the next season is cut for hay
but if the land needs improving the
second crop is plowed under aud wheat
sowed. If the land is in good heart it
can be cut for hay or saved for seed.
With the wheat is sowed timothy which
is allowed to remain two years blowing
it up in the fall of the second year to
plant to corn again the next spring.
thus bringing us back to the beginning
of the rotation again. This is six
years rotation and in the six years one
gets seven crops, or if he saves the
second crop of clover he gets eight.
The land is MANFRED every six years.
Under such management instead of the
land becoming exhausted it will become
stronger and more fertile as has been
proven on the College Farm and thou
sands of other cascs.-Coiensdn's Rural

THE SPONGE BATH,
Untold Benefits to He Derived From This
Form OF Bathing.

Untold Benefits to he Derived From This
Form OF Bathing.
A prominent physician, speaking of
special baths and their uses. mentions
the sponge bath, the form of bathing
where the water is applied to the sur
face through the medium of cloth or
sponge. no part of the body being
plunged in the water. He says the
practice of systematic, daily sponge
bathing is one giving untold benefits to
the followers. Let person. not over
strong, subject to frequent colds from
slight exposure. the victim of chronic
catarrh, sore Threats, ETC., begin the
practice of taking sponge bath every
morning. commencing with tepid water
in warm room mot Hot). and follow
ing the sponging with friction that will
produce warm glow over the skin
and then take five minutes brisk walk
IN the open air. See if you do not re-

Tor few mornings lower the temper
allure of the bath until cold water can
be horne with impunity
The daily cold sponging of sensitive
throat or lungs will often result most
satisfactorily if porsistently and con-
scientiously followed. The cold, anfe-
breakfast sponge bath should. how
ever. be avoided by the weak person
and the ones whose lungs are already
diseased, rs the reaction following
might not be strong enough to pre-
vent colds which might hasten fatal
results. Another use of the cold bath
IS to induce sleep by calling the blooi
to the surface; the congested brain is
relieved and sleep comes in consc-
qucncc. 1t is OH this principle the
winding of the LEG in cold. wet cloth
proves so etficacious in provoking
sleep. Washington Star.

ST. URSULA'S CHURCH,
The Romantic Legend Told In Connection

The Romantic Legend Told In Connection
With an Ancient Sanctuary.
A unique feature of the sights of
Cologne. and on par with the portion
Of the relics called sacred exhibited at
Aix-la- Chapelle. is the Church of st.
Ursula, with the bones of its eleven
thousand virgins. Ursula was a royal
English maiden, daughter of one of the
little Kings of the heptarchy. who, not
liking the attentions of the son of one
of the other Kings. fled to the continent.
and even went to Rome, followed by an
ever-increasing crowd of good young
girls and by few admiring cavaliers.
When they came back to Cologne her
virgin followers had increased to eleven
thousand. Here occurred their martyr
dom, but regarding the mode of it
historians differ. Some assert that
they were slain during the persecution
of the Emperor Maximin, while
scarcely visible pamphlet sold at high
price in the church states that they
were slaughtered by the hosts of Attila
returning from an unsuccessful raid
into France. st. Ursula died in the
midstexhorting the others to constancy.
The present church was built in the
eleventh century on the spot where
Ursula fell. The arrowhead which
pierced her chaste bosom is still shown
among the relics, and the gloomy old
edifice is filled with the bones of her
supposed companions. crammed into
ancient stone sarcophagi, or arra1ged
in queer patterns around the walls and
in the arches. Here it is all thigh
bones. There, innumerable skulls in
cases. each one grinning from its en-
broidered cover through quaint pane
of glass. the front of the case suggest
ing a window in house OF the Queen
Anne style. The embroidery was done
hundreds of years ago by a society of
noble and highly devout ladies Of CO.
logne. The martydom of St Ursula
was a favorite subject for the old
painters, among them Memmling of
Bruges. who thought that the idea of
eleven thousand virgins came from
"Undecimilla, the name of one of
them. The advocates of the suggestion
have abated their ardor of late years.
First it was eleven virgins. and no mis-
take. Then it was eleven thousand
faithful women. Now it is eleven
thousand martyrs, simply, while the
time will come when it will be only a
certain number of thousand persons
from an ancient grave.yard.-Cor. San

DEATH-B=D VISIONS.
One Of the Most Pleasing Fancies SweI
Away by Science.

One OF the Most Pleasing Fancies Swept
Away by Science.
1t is better to know the truth. DR.. T.
ID. Spencer has observed in reference
to the phenomena of death, than to
cherish belief, however pleasing it
be, founded on error. The traditions
and superstitions of the past have led
to popular belief in the theory that
the beatific visions which often come
to the dying are momentary views
of those mysteries hitherto unknown;
but science, with its iconoclastic hand,
has swept away the pleasingtancy. and
in its place has constructed fabric
founded on analogy. Anesthetics and
asphyxia from drowning or charcoal
fumes often produce disordered fancies
exactly like those preceding death. and
the natural inference is that they result
in both cases from one and the same
cause. During the last moments of
life the mind gradually loses cognizance
of external surroundings and is rapt
in self-contemplation. Though still
in semi-conscious condition, the
weeping of friends and the voices
o: attendants fall upon dull ears.
The eye-lids are closed, the pupils
slightly contracted and rolled upward
and inward. The dying man has for
gotten the present, for he is living in
the past. One by one the events of
whole life appear. its joys and sorrows
perchance long since forgotten. rise
before him in startling distinctness.
and then disappear in the swiftly NOV
ing panorama. The familiar faces Of
the friends of his youth are thrown upon
the mental retina, their CHEEKY voices
reverberate in his ears. and the thought
of meeting these friends in the near
future is perhaps his last conscious i'm
preston. As this drowsiness creeps
over the system. these images. nodded
from the past. become as realities to
the disordered Imagination. The germs
from which originate these strange
combinations have probably been lying
dormant for years in the regis tering
ganglia of the brain. "-.Arkansas 7rar-

TREATMENT OF HORSES.

Simple Hut Effective Means for Promoting
Their Usefulness.
There is difference in horses as we'll

than others. Take colt that comes
from good strain of horses and handle
it and pet it when young, as We do
children. 1t will soon know who its
best friends are, and express its mind
often by coming to them and fondling
about them. A horse will always shun
and try to keep away from a person
that has abused him. He can be quisted
more. easily, when scared and excited,
by = friend holding him by the bride
and talking kindly to him. Hold his
face close to YOURS and fondle and pat
him on the face and call him by name.
A horse can be kept fat easier than
he can be kept poor. Get him in good
condition, and feed and water him
regularly. and take proper care of him,
and he won't eat rs much as poo-
horse will. A horse that has been
properly kept will live ten or fifteen
years longer than one who has been
