A sand bag in illness is said TO be

and is more silly adjusted to different
parts OF the body. 1t is made Of fan

with sand, carefully sewed up, and en-
closed in another bag OF cotton or
linen. 1t is heated in an oven, but
not in contact with the iron; keeping

to lose its heat

Cigar Stubs for Charity.

There have long existed in Germany
and elsewhere socities for collecting
cigar ends-the tips cut off to permi t
of suction on lighting, and parts left
when the smoker dare not proceed
further out Of mercy to his mus; ache.
10 is customary to have boxes for pre-
serving the remnants on the tables Of
hotel smoking as we'll as in
private houses. They are collected at
given time and sold to the manufac-
urers, who make snuff of them, or cut
them up after kindly stepping for
smoking mixtures. Their price goes
to orphan institutions or other chart
ties. Now the News come that an or
gauization OF the kind, and that on a
grand scale, has just been started in
Sweden. The queen Is president, and
young ladies and gentlemen through
out the country are members. Faith
ers and brothers and sweethearts are
to be prayed not TO throw away cigar
ends. These are to be gathered from
the streets. The money to be got from
the product will go TO nourish and ed
ucate 500 children. Here is chance
for some philanthyopic person to start
such a society in this country.

Why the Skv is Blue.

Prof. Hartley of London, has been
trying to find out why the sky is blue.
His experiments show that the color
arises from the action of ozone upon
The rays OF light The results OF his
examination of ozonized air go to
prove that it is impossible for rays Of
light to pass tn. ough so little as five
miles of air without the rays being
colored sky-b.ue by the ozone COM
monty present, and ''that the blue
OF objects viewed on clear day at
greater distances up to thirty Eve to
fifty miles must be almost entirely the
blueness Of ozone in the air. In his
laboratory experiments he observed
that the quantity of o. one giving a
full sky-blse in tube only two feet in
length is 100000 milligrammes in
each square centimeter oi 5sctiGnal
area in the t1be.

Louisiana Berry Crop.

The strawberry boom is at its height
now. and Louisiana is shipping the
berry in immense quantities to all parts
of the country. AS we have already
noted, there has been a lar-e increase
in the acreage in this fruit, and eonse-
quently in the production, many of the
Northern people recently settled here
having gone extensively into strawber-
ries. The crop, little backward,
commenced ripening a couple of weeks
ago, and is now pouring into New
Orleans, Chicago, ST. Louis and other
markets. Some idea of the shipments
made GIN be formed from the fact that
during six days, April II to IL, single
station in Tangipahoa Parish, Ham
mopd, shipped 3,305 half crates, or H.
240 bushels, OF strawberries and ex-
cellent berries they were, too. The
Hammond Leader has seen several Of
them inches in diameter and one
Al ks inches, and expects to run across
even larger ones; indeed, the editor,
who Is Northern man recently settled
here, has beer SO impressed by what
he has seen that he announces his will
lingness TO believe anything he is told
about Tangipahoa strawberries. The
present season will determine how
much profit there is in berries, and If
they are found to pay when raised Id
large quantities as well rs they have
done in the past, we may consider this
small but promising crop as permas
nently added to the productive indus
tries OF the State. New Orleans Times

The Weight of Individuals.

The average weight of boy at birth
is seven and that OF girl little moro
than six pounds. When they have at
tanned the full development OF man or
womanho od they should weigh twenty
times as much as they did at birth.
This would make a mans average
weight 140 and n woman's about 125.
The hight of male at birth is / foot
8 inches and that of female foot 6
inches. Fully grown, mans night
should be about TIN, and u half times
greater than at birth, or 5 feot9 inches,
while a woman should be 5 feet 3
inches. The weight OF individuals
who are developed and we'll formed,
however, varies within extremes,
which are nearly as l to 2, whilo their
hight varies within limits which at
most are as l to 1-3. Taking 200
pounds as the maximum of man,s
weight and IS as the minimum wo
would have the average OF 142@ pounds.
Placing the maximum weight OF woman
at 1876 pounds and the minimum at 20

a SONG.
JAMES wHrrcoMB RILEY.

There Is ever n song somewhere, my dear;
There is ever something sings always;
There's the song of the lark when the skies
are clear,
And the song OF the thrush when the
skies are gray.
The sunshine shower across the grain,
And the bluebird trills in the orchard
tree;
And in and out VIII, the ewes drip rain,
The swallows az twitterng carelessly.
There is ever so e somewhere, my dear;
In the midnight black, or the midday
blue;
The robin pipo when the sun is here,
And the cTIcfet chirrups the whole night
thro,
grow
And tie autumn leaves drop crisp and
gere;
But whether the sun or rain or snow
There is ever song somewhere, my
dear
