Within the past five years the sale of
piano sheet music has experienced a sad
drawback in the competition of what is
nowadays termed clustered music, i. g.
popular ant non-copyrighted prints that
are gathered together in book form and
sold connectedly at a nominal price,
and often comprising in an abstract
volume a large number of desirable
pieces which otherwise would bring their
face value of frequently twice as much
as is asked for the entire collection con-
tanned in one volume. This is due
principally to the fact that there being
no international copyright law prohibit
ing the reprint of English and other
foreign works, these prints are gathered
together free of incumbrance on their
original expenditure, and put on the
market here at little more than the
original cost of production.
A book of foreign reprints containing
over 100 songs or Recommendations,
which, estimated at 40 cents per copy
for each piece, would aggregate some
$40, is sold for the trihing sum of so
cents, thus ostraeising the former plan
OF publishing the single sheet of music
at nearly that price per copy. This,
taken toasSher with natty embellished
cover and useful index, has rendered
the sale of these books profitable and
popular enterprise with many publishers
in this country.

A Chat About Car-wheeIs.


An official of the Pennsylvania rail
road company stated that there are fully
10, 900, 900 iron car wheels in use on
American railroads. That figure does
not include the wheels on palace coaches
and the better class of passenger
coaches.
"How much iron does it take to make
a wheel, y ne was asked.
about 525 pounds of pig-iron," he
replied, "and about $50, 900 wheels are
worn out every year. But do not con-
clude from that that the iron men are
called upon to supply the 81 800 tons
of material required to make the new
wheels, because the worn out wheels
themselves supply about 10000 tons.
"How long will a good car wheel
lastY'
Formerly it would would last eight
years But now the reduction of rail-
roads to standard gauge and the i'm
provement in loading and unloading
facilities keep the length of service
down. This is because the uniformity
in the gauge keeps the cars in more con-
tinuous use, and the improvement in
loading and unloading facilities enables
the cars to be put to more active service.
The wheels on palace coaches and on
first-class passenger coaches are known
as paper wheels. They are made with
a steel rim or flange, and iron hub, but
the web is composed of sheets of paper
cemented together. They combine
liQhtneSs with strength. y

In boring the artesian well at White
Plains, out in the eastern part of Ne
vada, under the auspices of the Central
Pacific Railroad company, a large log,
or several logs of wood were bored
through at the depth of 1916 feet be-
low the surface. This has been a sub
ject for discussion by scientists since,
and a few evening ago, in San Francisco
DR.. Hardness made it the subject for a
very interesting lecture. Quite a large
quantity of this wood was brought to
the surface, and it was good, sound
wood, in an almost perfect state of pre-
servation, although its great depth and
the character of the superintendent
strata showed that it was at least t.
600, 600 years old. Microscopic exami
nation shows that the ancient tree was
similar to the present nutpine.

Calculations of the Scientists.

In making soundings in the slime soil
of the Nile valley, two baked bricks
were discovered, one at a depth of
twenty and the other twenty four yards
IF we estimate the thickness of the an
nual deposit formed by the river at
eight inches century," says Professor
Jolly, ''we must assign to the first of
these brick an age of 1000 years, and
to the second that of $4,000. By the
means of analogous calculations, Bur
meister supposes 70, 900 years to have
elapsed since the first appearance of man
upon the soil of Egypt, and Draper at
tributes to the European man who wit
messed the last glacial epoch an antiquity
of more than %, 900 years"

Useful Hints to FIeshy People.


Summer Is at hand. The mercury in
the thermometer is making rapid strides
toward the nineties. The Sims who for
five months or longer have been little
else than animated icicleS are beginning
To thaw out, while their more solid and
f1eshy brothers are coming to view the
adipose tissue with alarm. How can
this condition of things be changed IS
the question uppermost in their mind,
and the query is re-echoed by thousands
of persons inconvenience and menaced
in the same way. Recourse to starva-
ton, anti-fats, dieting by measure, and
the swallowing of acids is not only alb
surd but suicidal.
Mr.. Banting's dietary is so depicting
TO the system that for one relieved
thereby dozen suffer positive injury.
Any one can reduce his flesh by not eat
ing sufficient food to repair the waste
that is constantly going on. The cure,
however, in this case IS worse that the
disease. Starvation remedies are OF no
account, for abstinence from food means
a sacrifice of albumen as well as fat, and
anRmia ensues.
A strict regimen is the only cure for
obesity. a dietary, however, that robs
the system Of its nutrition should be
avoided. Fat is supposed to produce
fat. Such Is not the case rat
combining with the carbo- hydrates
and albuminous compounds OPP
crate directly against obesity. No dys-
peptic need fear to eat fat so long as
too much is not taken. Fat checks all
heterogeneous waste, and appeases thirst
as well as hunger.
The great thing to be done in order to
correct corpulence is to abstain from
eating starchy and saccharine foods.
Vegetables rich in albumen, however,
make desirable dishes. Potatoes should
never be eaten. Fish and all kinds of
meats can be eaten at pleasure, but
beer and malt liquors generally should
be avoided in consequence of the carbo-
hydrates contained therein. A dietary
from which the sugars and starches are
excluded will do for the corpulent what
no medicine can do, that is, make them
thin

Mr.. Charles A. Green tells readers OF
the New York Tribune that he has found
upon the pineapple shaped hills of Barnes
vile. Belmont county, in eastern Ohio.
the strawberry paradise. The business of
growing strawberries for market started
there thirty years ago by one farmer or
dering 1000 plants. Now there are 800
acres of this fruit grown, and the daily
shipment is 1000 bushels, which goes TO
Chicago and other large cities. netting the
growers about ten cents per quart. One
of the secrets of success here is high ma
nuring, 100 loads of manure beng APP
piled per acre the previous season, with
forty bushels of wood ashes to supplement
it. The manuring is so heavy that the
land is kept in strawberries without rota-
ton of crop. One hundred bushels is
deemed fair yield per acre, but double
the amount is sometimes grown. Sharp
less is the favorite berry. but the Down
ing, Cumberland and Crescent are extern
sively grown. One picker picked 2l5
quarts of Sharpless in eight hours, and
forty quarts in one hour. Pretty rapid
picking that-if true.

Horse Ideas.

Larger horses are getting more popular
every day, says our Country Home. They
outlast the lighter ones 1t is almost i'm
possible to find 1000 team sound, as
they have nearly all been loaded too heavy
and are strained. They cannot haul car
rage equal to horse that weighs about
1900. The smaller horses are all of the
time pulling on constitution and nerve,
while the larger ones pull on flesh and
bone-weight. This makes mighty diff
ference in the long run. and it really
means, in short time, a good horse or a
kind of "plug." Animals should be
adapted to the use required. The nimble
little horses are all right for light car
riages or very light work, but the farmer
who requires a general-purpose team
can't make the little fellows fill big
place without injuring them; but it is
easy to make the larger animal fill the
lesser place and pull the light wagon or
the small load.
The man who owns small team must
not be too ambitious. He must be content
to go twice or leave part at home. He
cannot expect to 60 to market as soon as
his neighbor with the same load and a
difference of 200 or 800 pounds in the
weight of the motive power-the team.
The half-bred French horses are the best
for road and farm work, while Clydes and
Shire horses will fill a want for trucking
in the cities. These half French are the
horses best suited for foreign use in the
armies, as artillery horses and for cavalry
There is constant demand for them
for expectation, and there also is tor city
work. Horses are. the only stock which
have kept up in price, and they are way
above all other kinds.
Horses wear out nowadays in half of the
time they used to. Our grandfathers
kept their horses till they died of old age.
but fast driving and high feeding and big
loads kill off the horses in these days of

horse that is good for anything when 20.

wept tears of plying love. She was so

tears mingled with his. They needed

Cheese Reflections.

The Husbandman gives an account of a
meeting of committee of the New York
Produce Exchange to discuss the relative
merits of American and Canada cheese.
1t seems that Johnny Bull begins to
like the Canadian cheese the best, and the
New York shippers find that they must
take a back seat. Beside the members
of the committee alluded to. there were
present Mr.. S S. MARBLES. who made a
statement embodying the opinions which,
AS the result of a recent visit to England,
he has been led to form regarding the
feasibility of so improving the fall-made
cNeese of New York State. as to give it
al equal chance with the Canadian article
on the English market. He found that
wherever September cheese was shipped
from Canada and New York, without any
specification of the factory at which it
was made. the former invariably had the
preference. This being so, he would
suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of the Exchange
addressing the factorvmen of the State,
showing how the discrimination alluded
to, preludiced the sale of their product,
and inquiring whether anything could be
done to improve its keeping qualities
Sauaua was unquesliohaoiy increasing ltS
dairy products, and this must, in default
of some such special effort, take away
much OF the New York trade The speak
er was under the impression that the New
York farmer cures his cheese so as to
be at its best. As days from the date of its
birth, and not at 80, as the Canadian
farmer does. New York cheese is shipped
too green. and does not stand the voyage
as well as the rival product; and he be.
lieved that the farmer might, if their at
tention was called to the matter. cure theil
fall cheese more slowly, and put in more
sa t. or adopt other measures to make i
keep better. At all events, he judged ii
important that they should be appriseC
of the preference which existed in Eng
land for Canadian cheese.
