One of the many fields of usefulness of
Aluminium Is in the manufacture of ship
plate. Ten per cent. of it added to iron
makes plate OF great strength, taking
and retaining high polish and possess
ing the eminently valuable quality of
being absolutely proof against the cor
roding action of sea water and the ad-
herence of sea grass, barnacles and other
similar growths. Gun barrels can also
be made of this alloy that will neither
rust nor lead in use.
The essence of the invention Of the
sliding railway" which has been the
sensation of the Paris Exposition, is the
substitution OF thin film of water, over
which tho vehicle slides, for rolling
wheels, the film being maintained by
hydrostatic pressure, and propulsion by
successive Jets Of water under pressure,
acting against rib of buckets extend
ing under the whole train, thus dispens-
ing with all locomotive power.
1t has been shown that the duration of
lightning fash is not infinitesimal,
but that the flash lasts measurable
time. For example, if one sets a camera
in rapid vibration and exposes in it a
plate so as to receive the impression OF
the fash, it is found that the impress
sions appear widened out on the mega
tive, showing the negative to have
moved during the time the fash was in
existence.
curious mishap to submarine ca
BILE is reported from South America.
The cable failed to work, and on going
out to repair it the body of an immense
whale was found entangled in the cable
to such an extent that it was unable TO
extricate itself, and, being unable to get
fresh air, the huge leviathan had been
suffocated

Only One Night out to Florida.

When you come to think of it, the Monon
Route has shortened the time TO thirty
seven hours and twenty minutes between
Chicago and Jacksonville, Fla, and affords
choice of interesting tourist routes via
either Indianapolis and Cincinnati, or Lou
isville and Burgin through the famous blue
grass regions of Kentucky. The magnif-
cient system of Pullman's Perfected Safety
Vestibuled Sleepers constitutes practically
a Through Car Line between Chicago, jack
sOnville, Townsville, New Orleans and the
Southern Winter Resorts, the transfer con-
sisting in merely being ushered from one
Pullman car into another
At Chattanooga is again afforded choice
Of lines en- route to Jacksonville, either lii g
of which passes through scenes of histor-
ical interest. Four times every day in the
year the beautiful trains of the Monon
Route leave Chicago for the South. Intend
ing tourist TO Florida and the charming
cities of the Gulf Coast can gain interest
ing particulars by addessing any Ticket

Al SlKE GLOVER.

Farmers Experience With 1t.

Its Excellence a Food for Swine-A
Farmers Experience With 1t.
An Indiana farmer in speaking Of rLe
value OF alsike clover for hogs said re-
Gently: with five years of experience
in growing this plant, have observed
that my swine thrive better on it than
on any other plant" Alsike grows
about two and half feet high and yields
well. 1t stands winter freezing, as it
has four to eight clusters of roots run
ming deep into the earth. Not only is
alsike of great value as green food, but
il is without an equal as winter feed.
My plan is to feed it in small racks.
The hogs eat it with great relish. In
the fall breeding season, IL we wish to
breed strong, healthy pigs, the boars
must be in the very best breeding con-
dition. Allow the boar the range of
lot containing alsike clover, and feed
him on Stops, Of milk and ground oats.
In the spring while the clover is tender,
the animal is liable to eat too much
and should be looked after.
In the heat of summer an exclusive
diet of clover is good thing for the
boar For winter feed for the boar an
equal Oh dlSlke nay, WIN Ou6
part of ground oats, placed in steamer
and brought to boiling state, is excel
lent. While the sow is in the mating
season, alsike is good feed. During the
period o. CESSATION no food goes further
toward furnishing the necessary ele-
ments for the growth of the fetus than
this The greatest strain comes on the
SOW while sucking pigs, and alsike
clover is then the best food for her, as it
is great milk-producer. Let her have
ali she can eat of it. Both SOW and pigs
will thrive on it. A SOW that is allowed
large per cent. OF clover will be able
to turn more of the food to the thorough
development of her pigs than if fed corn
or corn meal.
In buying alsike clover seed for SOW
ing, care is necessary. The seed is very
fine, and closely resembles some weed
seeds. Prepare the ground by harrow
ing we'll. 1t will bear closer pasturirg
than any other variety and stock viii
eat it down to the ground If permitted.

PEN ron SOW.

SOW in lying down will come against
this shelf, and il there is pig there
the little fellow will slide under it and
escape what often proves death. Old
gas pipe stretched on br ices around the
sides of the pen effects the same results,
and has proved very satisfactory. To
build this thing takes but little time
snd means a handsome profit to the
owner.-Farm and Home.

Silver threads among the gold
Since the early Christmas days.
He sat and counted the blessings over
That had come 70 him from the Fathers
hand;
He measured his bursting cribs Of corn,
His well filled barns and fruitful land,
And the heart in his breast grew soft and
warm
As he thought OF the helpless poor
He thought OF the widow across the way
And said To himself: Il have goods 10 spare,
The Lord has been very kind TO me.
I'll tighten a little her load Of care;
II I'm alive tomorrow I'll see
That she has happy Christmas Day
Then he called TO his wife, in the other room;
She was busy baking tarts and pies
While a turkey lay stuffed on a table near.
And he said: Let Us give Widow Gray q
su- prise;
II viii make our dinner tas better. my dear,
Tomorrow afternoon
''F'fu basket fun OF something good.
Christina comes but once year,
Send what you think she viii Ike the best;
Here's a ten-dOIlar bill her heart 20 cheer;
Send pair Of chickens among the rest.
And John can leave her q load OF wood
What we send 10 her We shall never miss.
For a gift TO the poor is a loan 20 the Lord.
And He's powerful prompt in paying back;
We have our security here in His word.
In the keeping Of which He is never slack;
Sol guess We can take His promise for this.

Why the Holidays Are n Burden and
Wear to Mind and Body.

-
Wear to Mind and Body.
When what was designed to be a
pleasure becomes a burden, 1t is time to
stop and examine it carefully, and see il
il is the thing itself which has grown to
be such a weight. or whether it is sim
ply an awkward manner of carrying it.
Certainly there must be something
wrong in any celebration of Christmas
which results in serious fatigue Of mind
and body. During the first three
months Of the year nothing is more COM
monty given as a reason for ill-health
than an overstrain during the holidays
''She got so worn out at Christmas" or
''She worked too hard in finishing her
Christmas presents" or THE week be-
fore Christmas she was tired out with
shopping" are excuses which appear as
surely S January and February come.
The question must occur sometime to
every one, whether all this worry and
wear OF heart and hand and brain are
really worth while. Is there not
some better way of celebrating this
day OF days than for women TO wear
themselves out in making or buying
pretty tribes for people who already
have more than they can find room for?
Setting aside all effort OF eyes and fin-
gers. the mental strain is intense. 1t is
a remarkable fact that, although Christ
mas has been kept on the 25th day OF
December for more than one thousand
years, its arrival seems as unexpected
as il it had been appointed by the
President No one is ready for it, al
though last year every one resolved TO
be so. and about the middle OF December
there begins 4 rush and hurry which is
really more wearing than a May moving.
Above all things, if you give presents,
be more anxious to give something
which supplies want" than to send
some pretty trife which can only prove
in the end an additional care. There
are numberless things which can be
procured, without wear and tear Of
mind and body which make the recipient
feel as David did Of the water from the
we'll of bethlehem, that what costs so
much was too valuable to be accepted

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
In the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this TO be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon & Son, cor. of John
and King Street, Toronto, Canada.-Chris-
tidn Advocate.
Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should
