Some toms for Monn-Gnrnrs.


Had we a railway to tie moon il would
take but about a year 10 reach it, travel
ing at the rate of twenty-seven miles an
hour.
None of the heavenly bodies. except
the sun and moon. have any direct influ-
ence on the earth.
Old sailors think that il the direction
in which the moon is at the time Of its
change from old 10 new moon be ascer-
tanned, the direction from which the
wind will blow for the next seven days
can be known.
The moon supplies small amount of
heat and great deal of light. 1t also
affects the earth in respect to magnet
ism.
If the moon were burned up ships in
harbor could no longer get out, and those
without could not get in.
Seen from the planet Venus the moon
would appear as a companion star OF
planet with the earth.
If the moon were destroyed the loss of
heat, while hardly perceptible, would
slightly lower the temperature at night.
II is a maxim of farmers out west that
all plants which are to grow up, like
corn or wheat, must, in order TO prosper,
have their seed sown when the moon is
waxing, but all which are to grow down,
like beets. parsnips, etc., must have the
seed sown in the waning of the NOON

An Actress Pet Young Alligator.

Attired in loose costume of white
satin. edged with lace, Miss Kate For
sythe the well-known actress was run
ming vivaciously about her room the
other night, followed by little creature
with long tail and scaly hide. Now
and again. when the little thing got too
close 10 her, she would vent playful
shrek and jump on the bed or a chair
out of harms way, while the little Great
ure would stand staring up at her work
ing its jaws ominously.
1T won't hurt you," cried the actress
from the edge of the bed as a visitor,
whose card had gone up ten minutes
before and had been on the journey up
meanwhile, entered. 1T won't hurt you.
1t is only my baby alligator, Delphine.
It's dear little darling" she went on,
as she jumped down and gathered the
little beast up in her arms. Il brought
it home from New Orleans as present
to mamma. But when offered it to
her, what do you think?-she ran away
shrieking and she won't come near me
any more when have the the little
creature with me. But just love it.
Its as tame as pug and as playful as a
monkey, and tame-why it knows me as
well as real baby knows it mother.
That little box there half full of water is
its bed. 1t was frozen stiff when l
brought it up here, but it's all thawed
out now. There, you funny little Great
ure, 90 to bed. [Plash!l There it is in,
and I'm sure its eyes are closed already"

THE st. Paul Chamber of Commerce

The st. Paul Chamber of Commerce
has appointed three delegates to at
tend the stock mems convention at
this place, to discuss the feasibility of
establishing live stock market in st.
Paul. These delegates will not have
much trouble convincing our stock
growers of its feasibility, as they have
long ago considered the question and
are fully satisfied that they would de-
rive as much benefit therefrom as st.
Paul would. With the same market
rates prevailing at st. Paul as at Chi
cage, the shipper would receive the
benefit of the freightage between those
points and his time and personal ex-
penses. There is no reason why such
u scheme would not be favorable to all.

To Prevent the Decay of Wood.

The prevention of decay in wood /
said to be effectively accomplished b,
exhausting the air from the pores an,
filling them with a gutta percha solution
a substance which preserves the woo,
alike from moisture, water and the &C
ton of the sun. The solution is made b,
mixing two-thirds of gutta percha to one
third of parafine, this mixture being thel
heated to liquify the gutta percha, whel
it is readily introduced into the pores o
the wood, the effect of the gutta perch
being, when it becomes cool, to harder
the pores.-C hicago Herald.

THE strike at st. Louis on the Wabash

THE strike at St. Louis Oh the Wabash
is about over and the Knights are re-
turning to work. Jay Gould says he
will have nothing more to do with
the Knights; and perhaps the same
sentiments are entertained on the
other side. The strike has been a
long and bitterly contested one and
now that it is about over, the good
that has resulted to the striker or to
employer is good subject to conteu-
plate. The continued persistence on
the part Of the Knights has shown to
employers that they must also form a
protective association, so that they can
also have something to say IN the
matter of wages, and the number Of
hours that constitute days work.
There must come one of these days II
mutual understanding between the
employer and employee before the
former can rest in easy confidence of
of his future affairs.

Therecent labor disturbance are
turning the attention of thoughtful
and benevolent people to schemes
and recognizing industry upon a
bass which wall put a stop to
strikes and lockouts, and satisfy
tho reasonable aspirations OF the
working class. What was known
as cooperation is again being dis
cussed, but this time it is called
proft-sharing. There was q time
when It was supposed that cooper
alton would solve the labor prob
lem, and for the last half century
there have been tens oftbousands
OF offers made on the part of as
ISOLATED working-men to enter into
business so as 10 get all the profits
of their labor for themselves. So
far these experiments have been
unsuccessful. In England, how
ever, cooperation stores have done
very well. Everyone has heard
of the famous RochdaIe experiment
as well as Of other great co-opera-
ton stores in England; but while
it has been possible to destroy
goods by q cooperative machinery
the production of merchantable
articles has proved Improbable.
Indeed, the popularity of the CO.
operation store in England was
mainly due to the Introduction of
cash payments and the stoppage
of all credits. The late a. T.
Stewart introduced the cash sys.
tenn IN the retail trade of this coun-
try forty years ago. His example
was generally followed and hence
there was no room for ce-opera-
tive stores in our. retail trade

TO CURE NOSE. BLEEDING.

Take a piece OF very clean
sponge, not too large, soak well in
lemon juice or vinegar; then PISS
it up the nostriIs, one or both.
whichever is bleeding, as far as
can be done safely. Now place
the patient fat upon the back, say
on a lounge or hard bed, with the
head close enough to the edge to
hang over it a little. In this way
the blood will reach the sponge
and form a clot as comes in contact
with the acid. and so stop up the
vessel which is bleeding. That is
all. 1t is easier for patient and
attendant to plug the nose in the
face than that part of 1t which is
the throat.

FOWLS EATING FEATHERS.

Fowls eat their own feathers for
q similar reason to that which I'M
pels COWS or horses to cat boards,
bones and such things. This IN
natural appetite is due to a want OF
proper Nutrition, either from IN.
digestion or from an insufficient
supply of proper food. Feathers
contain large proportion of sui
phur and nitrogen, and unless these
are supplied in the food the ma
tural instinct of the animals, by
which the required nutriment is
selected, impels it to consume
feathers to supply its needs. Some
chopped meats, broken bones.
chopped cabbage, rape or mustard
seed, and turnips contain the nee
essary nutrlment for the growth Of
the plumage, and with a regular
supply of these, in addition to the
usual grain, there will be 10 in

BLOOD PoIsoN.-I notice in your
last issue a man inquiring for a
remedy for Charlton. You stated
that It Is thought to be an incura-
bic disease. Please allow me to
give my opinion and remedy. In
first place, it is not a disease. It
is true that it is blood-poison in
stead of disease. The poison is
caused by the bite of small fly.
On first appearance it is a small
swelling. Take a sharp knife or
razor and cut down in thealower
edge of this swelling, not more
than three-quarters of an inch deep,
one-balf niche long, and you will
find about one tablespoonful of yell
low-greenish water. AS soon as it
dries, saturatc the incision with
turpentine, set fire to it, let it burn
out, and it will remain sore long
enough to drive all the poison out,
and your animal is again sound.
Experience has taught me this: In
no case resort to depletion or you
will instantly kill your animal, as
it scatteres the poison. / have
killed several IN that way.-Cor.
