Brodie Braves Niagara.

A Clifton telegram Ontario, of Sept. 7th says: Steve Brodie went over Horse Shoe Falls this morning in rubber suit. He was picked up be- low the falls in an unconscious con dit1on and taken to Clifton, where he recovered consciousness not long af- ter. He is not seriously injured. In company with several special friends and newspaper correspondents the venturesome hero arrived last night. They left at 4 o'clock this morning and went to place twenty feet above the falls. Brodie then stripped, his body was padded with cotton and he put on rubber suit which was infat- ed. He had on a headgear also in Hated, while two steel bands protected his body. At 30 a. m. Brodie en- tered the water, and few moments later shot over Horse Shoe Falls. Luckily he was shot with lightning rapidity over the outside of the falling volumes of water, and was quickly lost in mist and foam. He was buried from view nearly two minutes. When he appeared on surface rope was at tached to him, he was drawn ashore and qnickly stripped. Brandy was poured down his throat in small quantities till he recovered conscious ness. Blood oozed from his mouth, nose and ears, probably in consequence of the shocks sustained. For twenty minutes Brodie lay motionless until ammonia was applied to his nostrils, and he began to revive. His injuries are not serious. He expects to go to New York tomorrow.
 In describing his experience Brodie says "After I entered the river weakened and would have given any thing in the world if I could have reached the shore" He attempted tc get ashore by using his paddles, when the swift current swept him back and turned his feet toward the brink O. the cataract. Just as he came to the brink of the cataract he became un conscious through fright and remained so until he struck the water at the base of the falls, when he was tempo rarily brought to by the force witf which he struck. He then again los consciousness and knew no more unti he found himself lying on his rubbe suit at the waters edge. There is nc doubt that Brodie successfully wen over the falls of Niagara and lives tC tell the story, but he is not likely tC try the feat again.

To Start Up.

It seems that of late a number of the old-time mines of Pima county are coming to the front again. We are told that very rich strike has re- gently been made in the Total Wreck mine which has been idle for several years and that both the mill and mine will be started up at early day. It is said that John o. Dougherty some time ago put one man to work in the mine, believing that rich body of ore could be found, and that his ex- pectations were more than realized after few weeks work. Total Wreck was at one time booming camp and many vet assume it's old-time activ- ity.-Nogales Herald.

A Deluge of Rain.

Globe was visited yesterday by the heaviest fall of rain and hail, in short time, ever witnessed here. It was a veritable deluge and that greater damage was not done is owing to the brief duration of the downpour. Rain began falling at ten minutes of 3 o'clock, in light showers from detach- ed clouds which gradually came to- gether until the whole sky was over cast. At half-past four the storm greatly increased in violence, and for twenty minutes rain and hail fell in torrents. The water in Pinal creek and every arroyo rose rapidly over flowing the banks in places and carry ing every movable obstruction with it.
 The arroyo crossing Broad street between 0. M. Anderson's houses Gone occupied by MT and Mrs Chas Thay- er) was soon an angry and dangerous torrent, and 1t became apparent that damage would ensue from the food of water. The capacity of the channel in the rear of Louis Sultans residence was inadequate to carry the immense volume of water, and it quickly cut a new channel to the south which car ried the flood under and around Charles Thayer's house. MT. and Mrs. Thayer, apparently, did not realize the impending danger until the house was almost entirely undermined, and they then had only time to make a nasty exit before the building yielded to the force of the flood and was carried away
 Before it had foated fifty yards the frame superstructure was completely demolished, the roof only remaining intact until it struck the frame build ing on the corner of Dr. Largent s premises which it moved from its fastenings and turned partially around. MT. and Mrs. Thayer lost all their personal effects. A few articles were picked up in the bed of the channel after the water had subsided, but they were so damaged as to be worthless.
 The storm did some damage in other parts of the town which we have no space to mention. The tota precipitation was 1.S3 inches, at leas two-thirds of which fell in twenty minutes.-Silver Belt.

Give the Baby Water.

Many baby is drugged with pare goric and soothing syrups when al that it needs or wants is 8 drop ot water. It is always safe thing to try a child with a teaspoonful of water when 1t is restless or evinces a desire to nurse frequently. A child who cannot ask for it, often suffers tor ments for drop of water. Especially in hot weather is this true. I have heard many a mother say that sht had never thought of giving her baby drink and yet, from the very nature of baby's food, it is more apt to re quire water than we are. Milk in duces thirst, as anyone who has triet a milk diet knows.

For curculio and Cooling Moth.

The repeated experience of some mem- bers of the Ohio Horticultural society appears to have proven that, for the curculio and codling moth, pound of Paris green or London purple to 150 gallons of water is a sufficiently strong solution, and that where larger pro- portion of the poison is used the foli- ago is liable to be injured. For the per feet destruction of the canzer worm a stronger solution is necessary. In some orchards badly affected by this pest, the best results have been obtained by the use of a solution containing pound of the poison to 40 or 50 gallons of water, applying this with considerable force in the form of very fine spray. Some of the members have used Paris green for the currant worm, but large majority disapproved of this as unnecessary and dangerous; unnecessary because white hellebore is just as efficient and is per fectly safe.

The time has passed for farmers to depend on muscle and hard labor alone. They must use their brains as well as hands. They must do more thinking and planning if they desire to receive the best results. The law yer studies law. The doctor medicine. The merchant must study commerce, the laws of supply and demand, and the banker must acquaint himself with the principles and details of finances. Just so the farmer must study farming. The experiments of last year Tn crop raising and breeding must be remembered and put to prac, tical use this year. Not only his own experience but that of his co-laborers should be his to profit by. Farming is a science, and there are many new things to learn in it yet; and the best and cheapest way to learn those things is by study. Take agricultural papers read in their columns the experiences and observations of others and avai yourself of the many useful hints an( uggestions.-America Farmer.
