MEAICO'S PROGRESS.

The Country Has Lost Nothing in the
Race for Progress.
When ono compares Mexico financially,
commercially and industrally with conn
tries like Brazil and the Argentine Rspub-
lie, 1t is plain that this country has not lost
any ground in the race for prosperity, says
the Mexican Financier. Great progress
has been made here in the past fourteen
years; railway system has been created.
the ruined credit of the country restored to
state of soundness; agriculture, mining
and manufacturing extended All this is
proved by the increase in exports, by the
rise IN the value of lands and city property.
The permanancy of progress here is due in
part to the naturally conservative temper of
the people and largely to the sound ideas
which have prevailed in the government. Ii

FARM NOTES.

bohemian oats possess no merit over
other kinds, and farmers should be eau
tlous before paying extra prices for such
seed.
Unless grapes are. trimmed without de-
lay 1t may do them injury to cut them
back later on All varieties of grape vines
should be trimmed early
When a hog loses appetite it ma, be
that all he requires is a lump of charcoal.
Charcoal should always be kept where the
hogs can eat it at will.
A market gardener in suburban New
York, who devotes his care exclusively to
raising celery, rhyme. parsley, ETC., is
said to have made S75, 900 in the last ten
years.
Wood ashes are excellent on all kinds of
vegetables The stalks and leaves of pota-
toes abound largely in potash, so do also
the leaves of beets. Though ashes contain
no nitrogen. they supply not only the pot
ash but lime and q proportion of phos-
phoric acid.
1t is claimed that land plaster is a
special fertilizer for cabbages If this is
true there is no reason for neglecting such
a crop, as plaster is as cheap as lime
Plaster is excellent for clover and grasses,
and its use has always been beneficial COM
pared with it's cost.
1t is we'll to remind turkey-raisers that
it is not the large turkeys that bring the
highest prices, but those of medium size
and in good condition. The large turkeys
will excel in weight, but the smaller.
plump. fat turkeys sell at higher rates per
pound. The quality and condition are the
prime factors. Begin feeding the turkeys
in the barnyard. and give them all the
grain they will eat.
When planting corn for ensilage do not
depend on such a crop as the exclusive feed
for next season. Ensilage is valuable to
all who raise cattle. but its value consists
In providing succulent food at a season
when such food is scarce. Grow grain and
roots also. in order to provide a variety
Eusilage is the cheapest of all foods when
properly used in connection with grain and
hay. Its effects are largely dietary, and
invariably increases the appetite and pro-
notes digestion.
An excellent mode of growing early to-
Eatoes, egg plants, etc, is to scoop ont q
potato or turnip and fill the hollow with
rich earth: Have only one rant to each
potato. When the plant is Of the desired
SIZE, pldhG lne potdIO (eaTIn anu young
plant), aud no check will be given the
growth. as the decay of the potato will as
sist in providing food for the plant.
Where turnips can be had they should
be preferred to potatoes. Egg shells have
been used for the same purpose with sue
cess.
In the Southern states no milking is per-
formed until the udder of the COW is washed
and wiped dry with a clean towel. This is
an old custom in that section, and it
should be followed elsewhere. 1.-THE North
can boast of a greater number of superior
animals, she has yet lesson to learn from
the above. The udder and teats of a COW
are often plastered over with filth from
the liquid and solid manure, much of
which is carried into the milk by the
hands of the mixer. An inspection of
some cattle-stalls will plainly show the ne
cessity of thorough washing of the udder

All Mechanical Business in Chicago Will
Soon be Tied up.

CHICAGo.-One of the leaders at the
stock yards said Wednesday that he
confidently expects that strike of
the $4,000 packing house employees
on May l, for an eight hour day.
The butchers and coopers are thoroughly
organized and will work together in
enforcing the eight-hour-day for other
employees. He asserted that the butchers
and coopers are well prepared
financially, for a strike, and said further
that they believe Fairbank & Co., and Fow-
Ter Bros, will concede to their demands.

MYSTERIOUS DEVILS LAKE.
Bottomless Alabama Lake in Which No
Living Thing Can Survive.


Devils Lake, in Calhoun County, Ala,
70 miles east of Birmingham. is one of the
most remarkable natural curiosities to be
found In America. 1t is thus described by
a Plttsburg Dispatch correspondent. The
lake is oval in shape, and covers about fonr
acres of ground No vegetation of any
kind grows on its banks and nothing lives
IN It's waters. Even snakes and TARA
pins shun the waters of Devils Lake, and
fish placed in it die in few hours. The
water Is clear limestone with a peculiar
taste, which makes it unpalatabe to man OF
beast. Horses and COWS will not drink it.,
no matter how thirsty they may be.
Deep down below the surface of the lake
may be seen what appear to be the char
red and blackened trunks of large trees.
They stand upright in the water, but have
neither root nor branch and never rise to
the surface Or sink to the bottom. The
lake has no outlet and the volume Of
water in it is the same all the time.
A strange fatality attaches to this lake.
Once it was the favorite resort of the BOYS
of the neighborhood for bathing and
swimming, but now they never go near it.
Fifteen boys have been drowned in it's
waters In twice as many years. A few of
the bodies were recovered, but those who
were drowned any distance f.om the
shore sunk to the bottom and were never
broughtto the surface.
The depth of the lake has never been
ascertained. Sounding to depth of 700
feet found no bottom, and the people in
the vicinity say the lake has none. The
Indian legend of the origin of the lake is
that before the white man came to this
country two tribes became involved in a
war, and after a number of bloody battles
the smaller tribe was almost exterminated.
Then the old men and chiefs of the weak
tribe sued for peace and arranged fora
council. While the pipe was being passed
a signal was given and the chiefs of the
strong tribe suddenly sprang up with
drawn tomdhawks and murdered every one
of the chiefs of the smaller tribe.
Then the war was renewed and carried
on until the weak tribe was exterminated.
A few moons after the massacre of the
the chiefs fire broke out in the pine for
est where the massacre occurred. The
fire burned In this spot for eight moons
and the ground sank down out of sight.
The fire disappeared, and in its stead APP
peared the lake. The Indians gave the
lake name which means 'lake of death. "

THE PURCHASE OF ALASKA.
1t Brought a Russian Fleet Here at a Criti-
cal Time in the War.


New York Times.
Chief Justice Paxson. at the dinner given
by the Glover club of Philadelphia on
Thursday evening, March 20, to Mr.. Chas.
Emory Smith. the new United States min
lister to Russia, gave the members genu-
Inc surprise in his speech, when, after wish
ing the new minister godspeed, he un-
folded paper of civil war history by re-
lating some details about the sale of Alas
ka by the Russian government to the
United States. The United States paid
81 900, 900 in gold for this-then regard
ed worthless and barron country" said
Judge Paxson, "but we did not know what
has since proved a treasure. We were
struggling In the throes of civil war. and
the governments of England and France
were being moved by every influence to re-
ognize the Confederacy. The acquisition
of Alaska meant much to the government.
When that sale was completed and the
storms of indignation were raging that
followed Secretary Seward when he paid
$1,000, 900 in gold for that frigid country,
all through Europe was heard the ominous
growl of the Russian bear, which said
in plain words to France or England.
Hands off, or we will interfere and make
this worldwide struggle How many
knew what deep import was vested in the
appearance of an entire squadron of Rus
sian gunboats in our harbors? But Sew
ard did. 1t meant this: The admiral of
than squadron was in possession of sealed
orders. His orders from the Russian gov
eminent were to remain where he was I'M
til this great question that was agitating
France and England was settled. Upon
the instant the Confederacy was
recognized by those European
powers the seals were to be broken,
and his orders were to report for instruc-
tions in person to President Lincoln. That
was the depth of the import embodied in
the acquisition of Alaska, to the United
States"

Notes on Homework.

Good housekeeping consists in contin-
ual care for small things, which in them
selves are nothing, but in the total make
up the comfort of home life 1t is simple
matter to see that all the house stores are
kept on hand, That each match box about
the premises is filled, that every room has
a convenient receptacle for matches and
one for burned matches. Yet the neglect
of so trifiing a matter may cause some one
hunting in the dark for match an enor-
NOUS amount of annoyance A good sup
ply of nice brown paper laid away careful
Y, and bag or box containing different
kinds of Irvine, cost housekeeper nothing.
as they may be saved from parcels; vet
the habit will find ready appreciation when
some one is in need of paper and string to
tie up parcel. There is nothing so I'M
slightly as an old newspaper for such pur-
pose. There are so many good uses that
old newspapers can be put to, that brown
paper should always be kept on hand to
wrap up parcels. There is nothing better
than old newspapers under the carpet to
soften the tread and keep the hard floor
from pearing out the carpet. There seems
to be some ingredient in the printers ink
that drives away moths. and for that rea
son newspapers are better than anything
else to wrap up furs and wooden during
the summer. They should never be de-
stroyed after they are read unless used for
kindling, but should be kept in a straight
pile 1t is a wise preceution to keep roll
of old linen, one of old cotton and needles
and thread in the kitchen drawer, where
it can be readily found in case of a burn or
cut. A step ladder on hand to reach to
high places saves great deal of trouble
A step-ladder table which may be covered
when not in use, or wooden seat chair,
should be on every floor except the kitchen,
where the ceilings are usually so low that
any high place can be reached by standing
on the kitchen chairs, which are always. or
should be made with wooden seats that
may be scrubbed and washed. All these
matters are small, but a series of these
petty vexations are more liable to irritate
the temper than genuine trials.
