rnliaer of the Highest Structure In the World,
The Washington Monument is 555
feet high, and has no rival in stature
at present, but the Parisians are
prlding themselves or the fact that
they have, standing on the Camp de
Mars. an iron tower one thousand
feet high.
Naturally enough, NJ. Eifel, the
eminent French engineer, who built
the tower, but who is better known
to fame on this continent as the
man who invented the system of
IRON locks for the Panama Canal.
IS proud of his tall enterprise.
Speaking OF it lately, he said
with enthusiasm: Consider its i'm
portance from meteorological point
OF view. 1t is not every day that
meteorologists can get up thou
sand feet above the soil. This tower
Will enable them to study the decrease
OF temperature at different heights.

winds find our the quantity of rain

density OF the clouds. Indeed, in all
that relates tic temperature, hyero-
merry, air currents and the compo-
sltlon of the air, the tower will afford
opportunities for study and research
many OF which have hitherto been
impossible. 1t will be equally useful

Nav Method of Budding.

Some horticulturtist claims to have dis
covered a new method of setting buds,
which he holds to be much better than
the old way. 1t consists in making the
cross cut on the stalk at the bottom instead
of the top of the vertical cut, and showing
the bud in upward under the bark instead
of downward, as on the old plan. This,
he says, causes the bark TO better shelter
the bud from rain than in the old way.
and hence largely increases in chances for
success. The thing appears entirely rea-
sonable; the cut for the bud would need to
be little different from the usual cut, we
suppose, the knife starting in sufficiently
above to leave more wood and bark above
than below. OF course the bud must be
set the same end up as in the other case

One of the most elaborate of Japanese
implements is the rake. 1t is laboriously
and ingeniously constructed, but must be
a clumsy thing TO work with. The head
Is large piece of wood, some two or three
feet long, about three inches thick and six
inches broad. On this are laid twenty
more or less, according to size of head
long, light, straight steel prongs These
nearly touch each other, except at the
pointed ends, which, being sharpened for
about an inch and a half, give a tolerably
wide space between points; they are fas-
tened TO the wood by spikes. The handle
is mortised into the head. In examining this
rake, one would think that if the Japanese
insist on working with such an imp 'ement
it might be cheapy made out of WORKOUT
files; but it would seem that, with their
evident disposition to adopt new and i'm
proved methods and devices, they would
throw aside tools so crude and provide
themselves with those of better and more
convenient form, as unquestionably they
will in due time.

Balky Horses.

The society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals put forth a set of rules for the
treatment of balky horses, which rules,
unfortunately, do not always work. The
best way is to have nothing to do with
balky horses. But nevertheless, some one
of these rules, as well as a hundred others.
do work in particular cases. They are as
follows:
l. Pat the horse upon the neck. examine
the harness carefully, first on one side and
then on the other speaking encouragingly
while do So then jump into the wagon
and give the word go; generally he will
obey.
2. \ teamster in Maine says lie can
start the worst balky horse by taking him
out of the shafts and making him 90
around in a circle until he is giddy. If
the first dance of this sort doesn't cure
him, the second will.
8. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
off his wind until he wants to go. and then
let him 90.
4. The brain Of the horse seems to enter
tam Tut one idea at time, therefore con
tinued whipping only confirms his stub
burn resolve. If you can by any means
give him new subject to think of YOU

him. \ simple remedy is TO take couple
OF turns of stout Irvine around the for leg,
Just below the knee, tight enough for the
horse to feel, and tie it in a bow knot. At

get out and remove the string to prevent

.. Take the tail of the horse between

Wool Production of southern Russia.

In referring TO the wool production of
Southern Russia the British consu-gen-
eral at Odessa says there are two princi-
pal kinds of wool produced Merino and
Donskoi, and in less quantities zigal and
malitch. The Merino sheep was intro
duced from Spain in 1903, and was found
to thrive in climate where, though there
are extremes of heat and cold, the atmos-
phere is generally dry. 1t is to be met
with in the governments of Taurida, Kher-
son, Ekaterinoslay. and TO a less extent in
Bessarabia. The Molokanis, who immi-
grated TO the Caucasus have devoted them
selves most assiduously to the rearing OF
these sheep, and have succeeded in i'm
proving the breed, the wool of which is
longer in staple and better adapted for
combing purposes than the ordinary Meri-
no. Fleeces in grease will weigh from IL
pounds to IA pounds, while the common
Merino fleece will seldom exceed nine
pounds and is frequently lighter. The
Donskoi wool is the growth of sheep found
near the river Don. The Zgal is native
wool of finer quality than the preceding,
while the malitch is an inferior staple
found in the Crimea. Bradford still takes
large Quantity of South Russia Merino
wool, but since the enormous development
of sheep breeding on the La Plata and in
Australia the wool trade of South Russia
has diminished in Importance.

IgGs Sold by Weirht.

Here is scene in a grocery: Two
farmers brought in some eggs to sell. The
one was evidently proud of his eggs and
proud of the birds that laid them. He
had flock of fine Plymouth Rocks and
the eggs they laid were beauties. A
dozen of them weighed 80 ounces an
average of three and quarter ounces
each. The other farmer brought in his
eggs without Saying a word, had nothing
to say of them or the fowls that laid them.
dozen of his eggs weighed u ounces an
average of one and three quarter ounces
each. Both lots of eggs were carried to
the rear of the store by clerk, counted
and each man got a cent apiece for his
eggs. As he of the small eggs passed
by-stander in going out he winked and
said: THAT man with the big eggs is
fool; his hens cat heap more than mine
make no more eggs-though they are big
ger-bnt he gets no more for them. -

Cultivate Flowers

The vegetable garden should not be with
out flowers. In the neglected corners
may be often grown enough of flowers to
brighten the household and make cheer
full the table. morning, noon and night.
And we are well satisfied that flowers
should never be looked upon in the coun-
try as luxury, they should be considered
one Of the necessities of life and should be
provided for the home as regularly and
Systematically as hay is provided for the
barn. That man who neglects to provide
flowers for his family in the country, is
only half man at the best; for he leaves
out of his calculations the highest and best
elements of human nature, having no
thought for the love of beautiful things
and the fountain of happiness these beau--
tiful things will supply in his family.
