A Pension for Teachers.

The teachers Of Philadelphia are en-
gagged in movement which is worth
imitation in all the cities and towns of
the Union. Its object is to provide a
fund which will pension aged or disabled
teachers. Teachers in several of the
large cities have some such scheme on
hand, but the Philadelphia plan is simple
and sensible.
The teachers unite in an organization
to establish pension fund. Members
agree each to give per cent. annually
from their salaries for the fund. Enter
tainments are given to swell the amount.
The teachers and citizens of each ward
take the matter in hand, see what their
ward will do for the good work, and a
generous rivalry has arisen among them.
Citizens are appealed to, school children
become interested, and in many ways the
fund swells. As fast as amounts are large
enough they are invested in safe secur-
tiles and an income derived from them.
This income will be what will take care
of aged and infrm teachers when they
can no longer preside over aschoolroom.
There is not to be home or anything
having the appearance of charity. The
money itself is to be given to the old
teacher, to spend as he or she wishes,
living at home among friends. 1t is to
be given quietly and delicately, without
any fuss or publicity, and without max
ing the recipient feel that he is living on
charity, which indeed he will not be do
ing.

Piece and Peace.

Without saying word to the Afri-
cans, whom one would suppose chiefly
interested, England and Germany have
parceled out a portion of the Dark Con-
tinent to suit themselves. England gives
up the island of Hehgoland in the North
sea, on the borders of Germeny, near
the city of Hamburg; in return she gets
Vitu and Somaliland in Africa. In
brief, England will get a coast line of
200 miles and the exclusive protectorate
over Zanzibar. Germany has the coun-
try northward from the first degree of
south latitude to the Congo Free state.
The island of Heigoland will make an
important naval station for Germany
and belongs naturally to her, while it
was comparatively valueless to England.
Of course these arrangements are sub
ject to ratification by the British parlia-
ment, but that is probable. At any rate
it is gratifying indeed to find that the
African differences between these two
great nations will thus be peacefully
settled. There is a growing conviction
on the part of mankind that arbitration
and not war is the proper method of
settling international difficulties. Even
few generations ago such dispute as
that concerning Africa could only have
been decided by recourse to arms. Both
nations are to be congratulated on this
amicahle solution. As to what the Af-
ricans think about it-well, that is no

The grimmest humorist of his time
was that aged school teacher, William
W. Merriam, who died at so years old
and left $90,0 to the United States on
the ground that the government was
rich and could afford to fight his rela-
tives when they attempted to break his
will Merriam was brother of the
publishers of Webster's Dictionary. He
evidently knew his family, for his three
sisters have already brought suit to
break the will, declaring that the testa-
tor was of unsound mind. If the gov
ernment defends its case we shall wit
ness the interesting spectacle of a fight
between the United States and three
Connecticut women.

The Roses Of Santa Cruz.

Every year in the month of May the
womens united benevolent organiza-
tions of Santa Cruz, Cal, hold rose
fair in aid of the various charities repre-
sented by each. Notin the whole world
unless perhaps in Persia and regions
where the altar of roses is made, can
be seen so great variety and profusion
of the queen of flowers. 1--WE are mill
ionaires and don't know it," exclaims
the editor of The Santa Cruz Surf.
Certain it is that the rarest and cost
hest rose shows either of Europe or
America can offer nothing to equal the
display that nature herself, almost un-
aided by man, showers before his scarce
ly needing eyes at Santa Cruz.
May in California is what the Almighty
meant it to be, the month of flowers, es-
pecially of roses. The blossoms that in
most other parts of the Union do not
unfold till June, here are at their best in
May. Moreover, in greater or less pro-
fusion, the flowers bloom here all the
year around. One of the features of the
rose fair this year was row of booths
representing the ''twelve months of bios
son." each booth conspicuously display
ing the flower that most abounded in
that month.

care in other states, here burst their
fullness and trail luxuriously over earth.
fences and trees with no care at all. The
Santa Cruz Surf mentions a Marechal
Neil bush that has stem eighteen inches
in circumference. A La Marque covers
all the front of two story house and
climbs upon the roof. A pink climbing
rose has so appropriated to itself an old
apple tree that the whole tree has be-
come one mass of pink. In Scott's VAL
ley are two tea rose trees 20 years old,
with trunks as thick as a mans arm.
What sights these would be to greet the
eye of a citizen of the cold north, where
the small rose bushes must be carefully
protected in winter, and tea roses will
scarcely grow out doors at all!
Other flowers grow in this favored
spot with as much profusion as the roses.
The gigantic scarlet geraniums of south
ern California have long been known.
At the rose fair the children of public
school exhibited a collection of sixty
four varieties Of wild flowers. But to
one who has seen them, thing to olinger
in the memory, a joy forever are the roses
of Santa Cruz.

Value of Sonpstone.

A writer in a London journal calls at
tention to tho unappreciated uses and
preservative qualities of soapstone, a
material, he says, which possesses what
may be regarded as extraordinary quail
tiles in outstanding atmospheric infu-
ences, those, especially, which have SO
much to do with the conosion of iron
and steel, and from experiments made
1t is said that no other material is capa-
bic of taking hold of the fiber of iron
and steel SO readily and firmly as this
In China soapstone is largely used In
preserving structures built of sandstone
and other stones liable to cPumble from
the effect of atmosphere; and the cover
ing with powdered soapstone in the form
of paint, on some of the obelisks in that
country, composed of stone liable to at
mospheric deterioration, has been the
means of preserving them intact for
hundreds of years.

Feeding Swine.

In order to obtain the best results ali
around the pigs should be taught to eat
as early in life as possible. In some
cases this will bewhen they are about
two weeks old. The time of teaching
them to eat will vary. The size of the
Hitter IN somo cases, and in others
the amount of the milk given by the
dam. will govern it. Teaching them to
eat is best accomplished by placing a
small trough out Of reach of the dam
aud supplying it with warm, sweet,
SKINNED MIX and soaked maize. When
the pigs get fairly to eating be careful

pigs power of assimilation increases.
Right here care should be exercised in
feeding the dam. Avoid getting her "off
her feed" There is nothing so well
adapted to make young pigs grow as

FOWLS AND EGGS FOR MARKET.
Advice That Ray Prove uscf Al to 20.


Advice That Ray Prove UscGtl to Eo-
ginners.
In raising fowls for market flesh is the
first consideration. Select therefore a
breed which Will make the greatest
growth in the shortest time and be of
good quality for the table. Select ac-
cording to tho requirement of your own
special market and your fancy-Lang-
shans, Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, Wy
andottes, Javas or Dorllings. These va
rieties, with their crosses, are hardy and,
if intelligently fed, attain large size at
an early age. The Wyandotte just now
is apopular fowl, the silvers, goldens and
blacks all having enthusiastic admirers;
the white Wyandottes are also receiving
high praise from their advocates. 1t is
claimed that they are not only orna-
mental in the yards and toothsome of
flesh, but good layers as well. The dark
Btahmas are classed by many breeders
as the best of the Brahma varieties.
With careful management there is
none OF our small industries that is more
profitable than raising eggs for our city
markets. When eggs alone are desired
The fowls selected should be Leghorns,
white faced black Spanish, Minorcas or
other laying breeds Avoid the common
mistake of giving too much stimulating
food. Bear in mind the elements that
enter into the composition of an egg and
feed accordingly. Oats, wheat and bar
lev are Ill GOOD for eggs, with lust
enough corn to supply the proper degree
of heat. 4 sudden change from one kind
Of grain to another will often stop hens
from laying for Il short time, as will sud
den change Of any feed. Whole corn,
being hard TO digest, should be given
very sparingly TO laying pullets. Sup
plelnent the food OF laying hens with an
occasional relish of ground bone, chop
ped meat and charcoal.

Cease on Tho Tarm.

When deciding the question whether
geese shall be admitted to the poultry
ward bear in mind the fact that in addl-
ton to their value as meat producers
each bird will make annually at least a
pound of feathers. The most popular
breeds are the gray or Toulouse and the
white or E1nbden. The first named has
the advantage of size, which the second
makes up, however, in the fine quality
OF its flesh. Beal, high authority in such
matters, places all white plumaged geese
under the denomination of Emblem ex-
cept the Irish. He calls attention not
only to the juiciness and fine flavor OF
their flesh, but to the increased value OF
their white feathers over the gray ones
CT the Toulouse. Either breed requires
but little care when once started. They
thrive best on extended grass runs With
plenty of water.

THE HARDEST VARIETIES OF WHEAT
Reports Made by Crop Correspondents to
The Farmers Review.

Reports Made by Crop Correspondents 60
The Farmers Review.
In response to the query put to crop
correspondents as to the varieties OF
winter wheat which best Withstand So
we're frosts in their several localities, or,
in other words, which variety had proved
hardest, the answers received indicate
that for frost resisting qualities the red
bearded varieties have taken the lead.
The most popular varieties appear to be
the Mediterranean, q red bearded wheat,
and Fultz, a smooth red wheat. OF the
Mediterranean there are no complaints
large proportion of the Illinois and In
diana correspondents where the tests
have been most severe report that this
wheat has endured the winter better
than all other varieties planted. The
reports are not so uniform in regard to
Fultz. In some cases it held its own
with other varieties: in other cases it
was badly winter killed.
Among the varieties reported to have
endured the winter we'll we note the fol-
lowing among the red bearded sorts:
Mediterranean, valley, velvet chaff,
Seneca, longberry, Ohio swamp, gypsy
niger, Hungarian, Red sea, Lancaster,
Odessa and red chaff. OF the smooth
red varieties the following are reported
hardy: Fultz, Poole, badger, Ontario
wonder, Hickman, Egyptian, red May
and Oregon. Two smooth varieties of
amber grain are said to be hardy, viz,
new monarch QndianD and German
amber O1issouri). The Clawson, a
smooth white wheat, appears to be pop
ular in Michigan. Many Kansas COR
respondents report in favor of Turkey
wheat, but fail to classify this variety
and do not say whether it is bearded or
smooth AS already stated Mediterran
can takes the lead in Illinois and Indiana
in point of hardness. In Ohio and Mis-
souri, allegiance appears to be divided
between Fultz and Mediterranean. In
Kentucky, longberry leads; in Kansas,
Turkey; in Michigan, Clawson.

Diseased Pork,

Many persons who never venture to
eat pork on account of its alleged un.
wholesomeness will not deny them
selves the use of bacon end ham, under
the belief that when cured the much
abused flesh of the pig is purified of all
its noxious qualities They can now,
unfortunately, no longer maintain this
position, for recent investigation has
shown that sailing or picking seems to
have little, if any, destructive effect
upon the common forms of bacilli which
are found in diseased meat. Expert
ment showed that such meat, after be-
ing in pickle for two months, exhibited
multitudes of these living germs of dis
ease. The experiments have been car
ried out with care, but it is not stated
whether or not meat which has been
subjected to the operation of smoking
as well as picking is freed from its dis
ease provoking germs.-New York Tel

The Samelcss Bee Disease.

Within the past few years much com
piaint has been made By beekeepers of a
disease among bees which not only de-
pleted the colony but was made manifest
by the appearance of the diseased bees.
They look black because of loss of hair,
much as DO robber bees or old bees in
spring. and frequently make strange mo-
lions in front of the hives, as though
dancing or in commissions. They are
frequently dragged out Of the hives by
the other bees. This, like foul brood, is
supposed to be due to funsoid attack.
In this only mature bees seem to become
victims, though the incubation appears

found that superseding the queen with
a healthy one cures the malady. 1t is
also reported that abundance OF salt
water placed close by the hives, where
the bees can gain ready access to it, will
cure this "nameless bee disease. "A. j.
