A HUMAN LAR.-Portland de-

showed that the organ had been sew

prior to the discovery. The ear be-

which the ear was slashed of, or
some joke practiced by medical
students Is question.

A Dangerous Custom,

Quite little hustle has been made by
the newspapers, because certain physi-
clan, who was recently summoned to ap-
pear in court in New Jersey, refused to
kiss very dirty looking Bible which was
presented to his lips in the administration
of the oath. The episode occasioned stir
in the court, and the physician was obliged
to set aside his feelings to comply with the
legal requi- ements. 1t was not, however
without protest which we fully indorse.
The kissing of the Bible, in any case is a
form which might easily. without the sac
rifice of solemnity or the strictness of an
oath, be set aside in favor of simply touch
ing the book with the hand or recognition
of it.
The person who kisses Bible in court
has not the least surety that his lips do
not come into direct contact with the pol
luton left by predecessor who was suf-
fering from some foul skin disease or faint.
not to speak of the germs of eruptive few.
ers and the like. A very simple way OF
getting around the matter would be to
have bible bound in some waterproof
matarial, which could and should be sedu-
lousy washed clean after every use. This
is precaution which is due to public
health, and which could easily be institu-
ted by every court. If the lawyers who
insist so strenuously on these fine points of
la" had more Bible kissing to do them
selves, they might better realize the peril
hence of what we say.-MedicaI Reqister.

Canadian Farming for British Bows.

GIVE seen almost all kinds of curious
farms, think" said traveller the other
day, "from ostrich down to peppermint
farms, but one of the strangest is up in
Manitoba. It's principal crop is an annual
growth of young Englishmen, sons of
wealthy parents who have interrupted
their boys in their diligent work of sowing
thick and early crop of wild oats and
have sent them out to the colony to have
their moral and physical health built up
and little industry and useful knowledge
instilled into them at the same time. The
owners of the farm two brothers, charge
the boys for their board and instruct them
in farming for nothing, but the work they
manage to get out of the young fellows is
worth good deal more than the time
spent in teaching them, though occasion
ally horse is foundered or a piece of farm
machinery broken by the young green
horn.
cit is remarkable. though, how these
young sprigs of nobility, many of them,
take to the hard work of the farm. They
have true British grit about them and the
managers have sense enough to have the
drudgery and dirty work done by hired
men. The boys ride the horse rakes,
drive the moving machines, learn to run
thrasher, pillow, etc, and all of them take
kindly to the care of live stock, the horses
especially, though propensity to race the
latter at every opportunity has to be
guarded against. The instincts of gentle
men don't seem to desert them either for
they will never sit down to eat in the
clothes they have worked in and refuse to
eat with the farm hands who bring the
smell of stables to the table. Bathing
shaving and dressing for the evening take
up good deal of their time, indeed,
waste it, real farmers would say, but the
boys insist on it and also cling to their
cigarettes. Many of them get to like the
life so that they stay longer than their
parents insist on, but nearly all return
gladly when the term of their Punishment
is over "-Neao York Tribune.

The Cotton Industry in India.

The extraordinary progress of the cotton
industry IN India is strikingly illustrated
in an official return which has Just been
published. At the close of last year there
were some 81 cotton mills at work in
India, containing Is, $40 looms and 2,375,-
739 spindles. They consumed about 2S3
million pounds of cotton in the year, and
employed daily average number of so, 515
persons, of whom, as far as details have
been obtained, there were 46,4O6 men.
Is O57 women, 10, 403 young persons and
2949 children. The nominal capital of
the mills worked by joint stock proprietary
is returned at ninety million rupees but
there is no return of the capital of four
mills worked by private proprietary, and
probably the whole capital invested in
this industry is not short of 100 million
rupees, or Gin conventional exchange of
ten rupees to the pound), ten millions ster-
ling. OF the ninety seven mills there were
seventy-two in the Bombay Presidency, of
which fifty are in the town and island of
Bombay itself. There were six mills in
Bengal, all in the vicinity of Calcutta six
in Madras, of which four are in the town
of Madras five in the Northwestern pro-
vinces, all at Cawnpore one at Indore :;
three in the Central provinces; three in
Hyderabad (Nizam's territory, one of
which was under completion at the end OF
the year and one at Mysore.-4St. James's

A New Aliment From Wheat

According to the LIE G6nie Cspa DR..
Dujardin- Beaumetz recently exhibited at
the Paris Academy of Medicine a new ali
mentary substance romentine"-
is obtained from wheat by the aid of
special millstones. Fromentine is the en-
bryo of wheat reduced to flour and de-
prlved OF the oil which it contains. The
substance contains three times more nitro.
genous substance than meat, and stropg
proportion of sugar. Thus, the amount
of heterogeneous matter in it is 81 per cent,
while that of the richest meat, mutton. is
but II per cent, and the proportion of
digestlble substance reaches 81 per cent of
the total weight. Hence it would appear
that It might advantageously replace pow i.
dered %eatAs concentrated food. It can
be used for making soups, and even Sr
making biscuits the taste of which would
not be disagreeable. The wheat germs
employed are by product in the Schweit
yer process of manufacturing -four which
can be kept for long time without de-
teriorating -EIch0nqe.

Fall Crop Of Irish Potatoes.

1t will soon be time to plant patatoes fol
the fall crop in the southern States. Late
in June or July will do. Select potatoes
as soon as they are ripe for seed, bed them
out on rich surface, as sweet potatoes are
bedded out, cover foot deep with ittel
and keep the potatoes moist by throwing
| on water, if showers are not sufficient.
When they begin to sprout cut and plant
them in drills 81 feet or feet apart.
The soil should be mellow and rich. Use
potash or ashes freely and stable manure
D. bennett, IN N. 0. Pic1yune.
The following sensible remarks are from
Farm and FSreside: I have before me
several inquiries about the best modes Of
planting Irish potatoes and I will dispose
OF them rather summarily by giving a re-
view of what | consider the essential
points.
First-Prepare the land so thoroughly
that the whole depth of the surface soil is
perfectly broken up and mellow.
Second-Be liberal with fertilizer, select
ing high grade, special potato manure
Tor whatever is thought to answer the
particular case best), applying part of it
broadcast, and part In the drills above the
seed pieces.
Inlrd-Strike out burrows three feet
apart, running a trenching plow or winged
shovel plow repeatedly in the bottom of
me 1urroW without going into the subsoil
.nen refill the burrows partly before plant
ing, SO that the seed will be four inches
below the level Of the ground.
Fourth-Select varieties known to do
vel IN your particular locality, and use
fresh plump seed.
F1fth-Place good sized chunk, with
eighteen inches apart in the row. accord

Farm Machinery.

Even small farm must have more o,
less machinery, while on large one the
investment must be heavy. Under any
conditions more machinery will be de-
stroyed by rust than by wear. A little
care will prevent this. Melt together over
a gentle fire pound of lard free from salt
and lump of rosin about the size of a
hickory nut. When the whole is melted
remove it from the stove, and stir it slowly
until cold. Keep this covered from dust.
Whenever any machine, from an apple
parer to threshing machine, is out of
use, clean it by scraping with wooden
knife whitfield from any hard wood, use
an old wooden rag and rub over every part
liable to rust with this compound; give all
such parts thin coating. This may be
used for astronomical and other delicate
If used on every farm it
would save the country millions of dollars.

Never Saw a Cow.

There is Boston milkman who resides
in the suburbs and who is quite famous
among his fellow-venders of the tactical
fluid as story teller. The following story
at his own expense, was told to reporter
OF the american CstltSuator by an acquaint-
ance of the milkman, and is vouched for
by the narrator: 1t seems that report
became current among the milk vendors
customers that his cows were suffering
from disease, and on his appearance one
morning at the door of patron, he was
informed by the lady of the house Of this
report, and also told that under the cir
cumstances she did not desire him to leave
any more milk for the present. ssLord
bless your innocence, madame" was his
reply, why, my milk never saw cow"
1t was not reported whether OF not this
confession secured the retention of the
customer.

Grab Grass HAY.

The grass was cut one morning and al
lowed to wilt during the day. The same
evening it was raked into windows. The
next morning it was spread out to the sun
again and at night again raked into wind
rows, the piles being double the size of
those of the preceding day. The hay is
now ready to store in the barn, although it
will not injure it to lay in windows for
several days. A light shower of rain will
not materially damage it if the windows
are properly made, although it is best, if
possible, to store it without it getting wet.
In packing it we spread layer on the
barn floor and sprinkle it with salt on top
of this we put more hay and salt until it
had all been stored. About twenty five
pounds of salt was used to the ton of hay.
