New and Curious Industry.

One of the new industries now fol-
lowed in London is that of separating
and storing oxygen from the atmos-
phere. This curious industry has an
application in the maturing of spirits
and the improvement of beer. This is
far from being the only application of
pure oxygen, for which the price is
good, but it is notable, and no doubt
distillers and bonders will give heed to
the discovery. 1t is said that the oxy-
gen, in contact with spirits, accom-
plishes in few days what is done by
from three to five years by nature.
The oxygen gets rid of the fusel oil
quickly, and as this is the most injuri-
Gus property of spirits the consumer
has an interest in the matter as well
as the producer. A maturing effect is
also produced on beer by admixture
with oxygen, and obviously this gas is
of high value for the whole tribe OF
effervescing mineral waters.-Lon'

HOME AND FARM.

"A good way to clean zinc is to rub
it with piece of cotton cloth dipped
in kerosene; afterwards rub it with a
dry cotton cloth. and it will be as
bright as when new.
Moist, damp soil is sometimes the
most valuable. Celery, and in some
sections onions. do best on such soils
If the soil is sandy strawberries will
thrive better on damp soils that are
not too wet.
When pear trees refuse to grow
and appear dormant cultivate them
well and apply plenty of wood ashes
around them. Trim back the wood
and give the trunks good washing
with strong soap-suds.
The water in which vegetables
have been cooked should never be
thrown away, with the exception of
beets and potatoes boiled without peel
ing. Even cabbage water can be made
the basis of q good soup.
There is an advantage in using
walnut as a shade tree, and that is, in
addition to securing more or less nuts
to use, it is freer. than the average
from insects, and during the summer,
when a good rest is desired, this is
quite an item.
Walnut Cake: Three eggs, one and
a half cups of sugar, one-half cup of
water, two cups of flour mixed with
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
Beat eggs and sugar thoroughly five
minutes, add water and -four alternate
ly. Bake in two oblong tins in quick
oven.
O-Have you evergreens about the
house? Trim them up this spring SO
that they will look ship-shape. Two
or three hundred dollars can often be
added to the value of "a farm by an
hour or two's work in pruning the or
namental trees.
The horses should be exercised
daily. If kept standing in the stable
they become changed in disposition.
The gentlest of horses become shy if
confined too long Exercise hardens
the muscles and keeps the horse in
good condition for spring work.
Cider Soup: One pint cider just
beginning to work, one pint water, one
cup milk (boiling), one tablespoon
flour, a little cinnamon and sugar. Let
cider and water come to q boil, add
flour rubbed smooth and mix with the
milk. Serve with toast. An egg yelk
may be added.
Graham Pudding: One cup of
molasses, one cup of sweet milk, one
cup of chopped rarsins, one teaspoon
full of soda, and two cups of graham
flour sifted to bring it up light, and
then put in the bran; if the bran is not
used a little more flour will be required.
Steam three hours.
EARLY blowing exposes the soil to
the action OF the rain, frost and sun,
and the earlier the work is done the
finer will be the particles of earth and
the more available the plant food.
Quite number of insects will also be
exposed to the surface, while the loos-
ening of the soil also permits the
ground to become warm early.
Most every farmer is aware of the
fact that sheep must be fat to make
the best mutton, but few conceive the
idea that a properly and weil-fed SHEEP
produces more and better wool than
one poorly fed and cared for. Wool is
product from feeding, just the same
as fat or flesh, and the flock should be
fed and managed with a view to wool
growth, and that of fine quality.

The Lost Atlantis.

For many centuries there has been ira
dition of long lost island called Atlantis.
The Greek geographers located it in the
Atlantic Ocean, west of the northwest part
of Africa and the Pillars of Hercules The
sea-kings of Atlantis are said to have TO-
vaded Europe and Africa, and to have been
defeated by the Athenians.
All the legends agree that it was q vast
island, of inexhaustiole resources, and ia
habited by a race of superior people. For
ages this island has exis ted only in lie gend-
airy lore. But now. when the light of mod
ern research is turned full upon the investi-
CATION, behold the lost Atlantis at our very
doors.
So the bgoted medical fraternity goes
.roping about in the dark, seeking for an
Atlantis or Esculapius, when if they would
Investigate, they would behold the lost At
lantis at their very door. With their an
Gent text book, a case of physic, paper in
their waistcoat giving them license to prac-
tice, experiment and dose with their in juri-
Gus drugs, cautarize and perform unneces-
sary acts, with no person or laws to hold
them accountable, they continue their big
oted, unj Justified practice, staring into va
cancy, and imagining that they see in them
selves an Esculapius.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they are cry
ing out against all improvements that have
been made in medical science. They de-
nounce any new idea advanced by a layman
Dr. an opposition school as a fraud.
Whys

Not at all, but because their specialism did

A few of the more honest physicians ad-

remedy, and great blessing to mankind,
but say, in so many words, when asked why
they do not prescribe it, that they can not,
according to their code.
Nevertheless, the world is fast becomin g

EGYPTIAN WOMEN.
Peculiarities of Their Looks, Dress, Man

Peculiarities of Their Looks. Dress. Man
ncrs and Customs.
In youth the women of Egypt gen.
erallyhave lovely forms-plump,s supple
and elegant. An excess of flesh is rare
among them. Graceful curves, an up
right carriage and finely-molded hands
and feet are common characteristics.
Their faces, too, are usually pleasing
and often beautiful, with the richly
tinted softness of the South. So sweet
| is the expression of these faces, so be-
witching are the glances of their dark
| eyes, that an experienced traveller de-
clares they are the most perfect women
in the world.
The eyes nearly all are large, black
and almond-shaped; their soft ex-
preston, still further heightened by
| long lashes and the universal use of
| kohl" with which they blacken tho
edges Of their lids. They have oval
| faces, sometimes a little broad and
clear olive compilations. The lips are
usually quite full; the nose is straight,
though little wide. Glossy black
hair, with eyebrows that form lovely
arch, complete the features of these
sirens, famed since Cleopatra for their
beguiling beauty.
They dress the hair in an elaborate
fashion. 1t is cut short over the fore
head, but on either side of the face
hangs a full lock, often curled or
braided. The rest of the hair is ar
ranged in numerous braids, usually
from eleven to twenty-five, but always
an odd number. Three black silk
cords, bearing little ornaments of gold,
are generally fastened to each braid,
hanging down the back in Il glittering
| shower. The head-dress is complex
arrangement. 1t consists of a kind of
turban, round which is commonly
bound gay 'kerchief or long strip
of muslin folded into q narrow band.
The latter is usually black or rose
colored. The central part is orna-
mented for several inches with spangles
that fall over the forehead, while the
ends are decked with a gay edging and
tassels of colored silks, above which Il
few more spangles are sewed. On the
crown of the head-dress is worn
| q ROUND. convex ornament caileu
the "kurs.' 1t is about five inches
in diameter, and as costly as the
wearer can afford. Wealthy ladies,
and even the wives of some small
tradesmen, wear those composed of
diamonds set in gold. Others wear Il
simple golden kurs, silver being sell
dom seen, even among servants. The
head vail consists of a long piece of
white muslin, embroidered at each end
with colored silk and gold, or of col
ored Grape, ornamented with gold
thread and spangles. This is drawn
well forward upon the head, while the
long ends hang down behind nearly to
the ground. The face vail, always
worn in public. is a simple strip of
white muslin, fastened just below the
eyes, from which it falls nearly to the
feet. 1t completely hides all the feat
ures except the eyes, but as these are
commonly the greatest beauty OF the
women, it serves rather to heighten
admiration than to quell it.-London

STAY ON THE FARM.
views of Man Who Has Tried Agricult-
uraI as Wei as business Life.


The farmers life is one mixed with
toll and pleasure. There is always
york to be done on the farm-a gate
to mend. fence to reset, an OK in the
ditch, a broken door to repair, a gar
den to plow, q tank to build, u crop to
plant, a crop to cultivate, crop to
gather, and thousand things to keep
the active brain and willing hands and
feet employed; yet if the farmer wishes
a little recreation, he can leave his
tools and labor and spend a day or two
in the woods with his gun, or day
with fishing-rod on the lakes and
streams. 1t is not so with the business
man in the city. His business must go
on. He can not shut his door and walk
out. If he takes a day off, he neces-
sarily has to put some one in his place.
Farm-life is q real enjoyable life, if
well planned; but it may be full of
misery if not managed with view of
making and mixing pleasure with
business. Farmers do more hard
work than business men, and usual
ly live longer and harder. Farm
life is made more tolerable by the
joy and happiness we get out of it.
The business man has his bills to meet
every month, and is often puzzled to
know how to make ends meet. He
loses hours of precious, sweet sleep
over embarrassments that stalk in his
pathway, while the contented farmer,
without the fear of being closed up by
the sheriff, takes his rest. Farmers
have bills to meet, it is true; but they
do not come like rifle balls from a gun,
every week or two. The writer has
tried farm life and loves it. He has
also tried business in the commercial
world, where no allowances are made
for dry weather, wet weather, short
crops or low prices. The commercial
world has no sympathy with bust
ness man. The day his bills fall due
he is expected to meet them; if he is
unable his paper is liable to go to pro-
test, and his business to pieces. Those
who are doing we'll in agricultural
pursuits should let well enough alone.
The cities are overcrowded with pop
ulation and poverty. The most indie
pendent class of people in the world is
that class that have good home on
good farm and make their own living.
