There are %, ZOO Buddhist priests in
the city, and you see them everywhere
They are of all ages from 10 to so. and
they go about with shaved heads and
yellow strips of cloth wound around
their half-naked bodies. Yellow was
the garb chosen by Buddha when he
went forth from his royal palace to beg
his way among men, and yellow was
the garb of thieves and criminals in
India. Buddha in taking it humbled
himself. and SO it is supposed to be an
evidence OF humility among the priests
Of Siam to-day. They are far from
humble, however, and they strut about
with cigars or cigarettes in their
mouths or chewing the betel-nut going
from door TO door and floating from
house TO house after rice and presents.
Every morning these priests make
tour OF the city. The town is divided
up among'theln, and each has his rice
beat. The people bring the rice in
pots ready cooked and steaming to the
front porches of their houses, and when

CANCERS AND JUNIORS.

The Difference Between the Two Ailments
Explained in Plain Language.
Few ailments are more dreaded than
and on account of their slow and pain
fil disorganizing progress. They are
more frequent with women than with
men, and there are probably few wo-
men who do not suffer more or less
from fear of them.
But the disease is really somewhat
rare. Few cases come within tho
knowledge of any one person. 1t Is
true of nearly every disease that moth
ing is more potent than fear In bring
ing it on. Fear produces depression,
and physical depression is an open
door to prowing morbid elements.
Cancer is a malignant tumor; but
every malignant tumor is not cancer.
All bodily growth is cell-growth-
growth by multiplication. Tumors
are thus formed. They are known as
''new growths."
There is no distinctive difference be-
tween the cells of cancers and those OF
other tumors; but cancer-cells are
crowded peculiarly into vacant spaces
in the substance of the part. and this
arrangement is characteristic. No
tumor should be pronounced a cancer
until an expert has seen this arrange
ment with his microscope. The trou-
BILE with these cells is their low vital
ity, their lack of recuperative power.
Almost every organ in the body Is
more or less liable to be invaded, but
especially those covered with a mucous
membrane. Some cancers have their
seat in the skin, particularly on the
dividing line between the skin and the
mucous membrane, as on the lips, eye
aids, etc. These are less likely to re-
cur, when removed, and complete re-
covery may take place.
A cancer is of psrely local origin.
The health for time may otherwise
be good, but the lymph-vessels gener-
ally transport the cancer-cells to neigh
boring glands, thus originating second
airy cancers. Sometimes the blood
vessels transport them. The most
common period of development is after
the age of forty. The tendency to
cancer is inherited. 1t may, however
overleap generation. When this ten
dency exists, blow or other injury
may develop the disease.
The medical profession, as a general
thing, do not have much confidence in
the success of surgical operations ex-
cept in skin cancers, or, in the case, of
Others at very early stage. Opera
tions that do not cure may prolong life
year or two, or they may hasten the
fatal result.
To prolong life the chief attention
should be given to keeping up the gen.
eral health. Ionic medicines are help
full. The food should be nutritious and
easily digested. The mind should be
kept free from care and anxiety. All
hygienic surroundings should be good.

OIL UPON WATER.
A Simple Explanation of Its Action In
Ouieting Rough waves.

Simple Explanation of Its Action In
Ouieting Rough waves.
The pouring of oil upon rough water
to secure the safe passage OF vessels
was practiced by the ancients, as Plu-
tarch and Pliny refer to it, but it is only
within the last six years that our sea-
going people have given it much
serious attention. Benjamin Franklin
made study of the subject and he
has left On record the result Of his ex-
periments. This is how he explains
the action of the oil:
The molecules of water move with
freedom, and the friction of air in
motion produces waves or undulations.
These increase in size. according to
the depth of water and other condi-
tions. They are often the precursors
of storms, and sometimes reach a height
of forty feet. Yet boat or ship can
ride them in safety. If, however. a
sudden gale comes up, the swell be-
comes raging sea.
The friction of the wind, rapidly
moving upon the exposed slope of the
swell, produces little Irregularities on
the surface These wavelets are then
driven up the rear slope of the swell to
its summit, while the forward slope
has more and more protection from
the wind. and becomes sleeper and
sleeper AS the wind continues to
blow, the crest of the storm wave con-
stantly sharpens. until it is finally
thrown over with irresistible force. A
ship can not rise up its abrupt front,
and the water falls On the deck.
sweeps every thing before it, and Often
engulfs the vessel itself.
Now the oil changes the storm wave
into the heavy swell. 1t floats on the
surface, spreads rapidly and forms
film like an extremely thin rubber
blanket over the water. The friction
OF the wind can not tear the film and
send those wayelets up the slope of the
swell, and the ship is enabled TO ride
it in safety.
So it is seen that the effect is purely
a mechanical change in the form OF the
wave; there Is no apparent chemical
change. -Philadelphia Times

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY.
A Pleasant Pastime That Has Become q
Popular Craze Everywhere.

Pleasant Pastime That Has Become q
Popular Craze Everywhere.
Amateur photographers are so nu-
merous now that it is impossible to
make any accurate guess as to their
number. Previous to the introduction
of the dry plate, in 1879. there were
no amateurs in this country. Now
there are fully ten times as many anna
teurs as there are professionals. The
old method made it possible TO take
pictures without very elaborate facili-
ties and costly apparatus. 1t was q
method of insurmountable difficulties
for amateurs Pictures could only be
taken when there was dark room at
hand for developing the plates. Out
door views were impossible, unless a
tent was taken along.
The introduction of the dry plate ena-
bled a photographer TO take views when
ever convenient. and to finish them st
at his leisure. He can take PICTURES
in the DAYTIME and finish them at night
in any room from which all light is ex-
cluded except that of ruby lantern.
The advantages of the dry plate and
improved apparatus have made pho
Biography so easy and pleasant that it
has been taken up by thousands of peo-
pie all over the United States. The
amateurs include professional and bus
mess men who have leisure time dur
ing the day. and also many clerks and
others who have only Saturday after
moons and their summer vacations in
which to indulge in the nastima. EYaEn

the priest comes along they fall upon
their knees, and raising their hands
as though praying, ask them to accept
the gift from them. The priests are
supposed to never ask and to go away
without making any objection II they
do not receive. They stand supercil-
iously as rule while the food is dished
out to them, and carry it away in
round black pot, which they tuck under
their garment and carry upon their
hip. Every man in Siam at some time
during his life becomes priest. and
the present King has twice served in
the priesthood. When man has done
any thing very wicked he goes into the
priesthood for a certain number OF
years to cleanse himself, and the mo-
ment he puts on yellow he is holy to
his family as we'll as 10 all other out
siders, and mothers often bow down to
their boy sons who have gone into the
priesthood. One of the European,
Consals who appreciated the power of
the priests, and who is always doing
something to curry favor with them,
called a gang of them into his parlor
the other day and treated them to wine,
cake and cigars. During the CONVEX
sation he noted that the face of one of
them was familiar, and asked him
where he had seen him. The priest
replied:
Il have just entered the priesthood,
and | served as your boatman last
week"
The lowest and worst cody can be-
come priest if he wishes to here in
Siam, and his priesthood is one of the
simplest OF ways Of getting rid of an
incumhrance in the shape of a wife.
The man who enters the church has
the right to divorce his wife, and when
be comes out at the end of few months
or year he can marry her again or
not as he pleases. People 60 into the
priesthood to get presents, and the
time has been when men have gone in,
served a few years and come out rich.

amateur who takes it up and goes
through the country taking views in
duces others to join the ranks. Thus
amateur photography has spread and
become a popular craze throughout the
country. 1t is not temporary craze
either, but has come to stay, and the
number of photographers is constantly
Increasing.
The improvements Of photography
have enabled it to be applied to many
uses for which it was formerly not
available. The fash-ight has made it
possible to photograph tunnels and
rooms where the sunlight does not
penetrate Manufacturers are using
Photographic views of their machinery
much more than in former years. Ex-
ploring and surveying parties are fitted
with Photographic apparatus. All of
the recently fitted up men-of-war have
amateur outfits on board. and the de-
partments at Washington employ the
camera for many purposes. Insurance
men have taken advantage of instanta-
neous photography to obtain views OF
fires, explosions and accidents as a
means Of advancing their business. In
fact, there is scarcely line of business
in which photography is not now used
in some manner. The outlook for the
future is that still further improve
ments will be made in the methods and
the apparatus, and that the utility OF
photography will be greatly increased.

HUSBANDRY GLEANiNGS,


IT is a good rule not to have plants too
thick on thin ground. Thin out the plants
if they are stunted or growing slowly.
DUsHSG currant and gooseberry leaves
as soon as they are half-grown with helle-
bore powder is excellent for getting rid of
the Larvae of the saw-hy and spanworm
moth.
OAT grass and orchard grass will grow To-
gether well, for the reason that orchard
grass is inclined to grow in tufts and the
oat grass is well suited to fill in the space
between these tufts.
STRAW is valuable as mulch for an Or
chard. There is no other way to account
for the vigorous growth and heavy fruiting
which result from that practice. Every or
chardist should buy all the cheap straw he
can get.
For meadows only grasses that ripen at
Che same time should be sown together.
One Of the most important items In securing
hay is to cut at the right stage. and this can
only be done by sowing varieties that ripen
together.
ALL the reports of fat-stock fairs show
that the gain of weight in cattle is great
est while they are young, and smallest after
they have reached maturity. They also
show that young animals will thrive and
keep fat on cheaper food than old ones will.
FATTESING of swine should begin as soon
as cool weather sets IN. In the moderately
cool weather of autumn flesh Is laid on much
faster than when the extreme cold sets in,
and the amount of feed required is much
less. Variety in food, 20, is now recog-
nized as an economy of feeding, as it keeps
up the appetite.
GETTING calves accustomed to handling
and quiet leading by halter or neck strap, is
good plan In all cases, and will repay the
little time necessary if the training is be-
gun early enough In this instance heifers
were soon taught to walk in pairs side by
side, with little stick or switch simply laid
across behind their horns or attached by
small cord.
THE whole number Of farms in the country,
reported in the last census, was 4,O0S, 907,
the number of farmers LOS, 945, and the
number Of laborers 1898, SIC. Since then
our population has increased twenty per
cent, and the number of persons, exclusive
Of the wives and children of farmers, who
are actively employed in agriculture are
reckoned about 100000. The agriculture
population Is not less than 26000,000.
Absolutely clean culture is as necessary
to potatoes as to any crop raised in the field
or garden. If weeds or grass cover the sur
face of the potato field. they will take the
plant food which should go to form tubers.
They will also make the harvesting of the
crop very difficult, and cause many tubers
to be cut or lost in the rubbish Potatoes
-SlOuld be sedulously cultivat till they be-
gin to blossom.
THAT a cow will drink brackish, stagnant
water in preference to cool spring water, is
but gentle hint to the farmer to feed his
cows more mineral and saline matter in the
form of salt, bone meal, etc, and see that
they have moderately pure, warm water, if
they prefer it. The COW drinks the bad
water to get elements that her system re-
quires, and in doing so consumes vast
amount of things she does not need, to the
detriment of the milk
