The hot-biast reducing furnace and
the Bessemer converter are among the
greatest inventions OF all times and
countries. They have rendered the
production Of iron and steel speedy
and cheap. Other discoveries and in
ventions are needed to render these
substances still more useful to the
world. Iron is fast superseding wood
In tho construction OF vessels and
bridges. Wire has taken the place of
boards and rails in the building of
farm fences. Iron posts are also fast
coming into general use. More build
ings chiefly composed OF iron are being
erected every year. The cheaper iron
and steel become the greater the num-
Der Of purposes to which they will be
put.

The decreasing calibre of the small

Is about te have curious effect upon
the composition of bullets. The old
fashioned bullet consisted entirely OF
lead, and few great literary gems con-
corning the horrors OF war have been
written without allusion to .powder
and lead" As the smokeless powder
is abolishing the ''smoke of battle'
from the prose and poetry OF war. so
the improved construction OF the bullet
promises to render fatally unrealistic
in the literature OF the battlefield of
to-day most OF the tried and approved
phases as to the classically mortal
metal.

The French duel IS perfectly pleas
ant and harmless affair "a general
thing. but once In a while a duelist
has been known to receive a slight
scratch which required little atten-
ton lest blood poisoning should follow.
But even this slight danger has been
overcome. At every French duel now
adays the surgeon Is supplied with an
antiseptic. with which he smears the
swords OF the adversaries just before
the battle begins. Iu this way a sword
scratch is harmless. and the only pos
sible danger, except perhaps, taking
cold while fencing in ones shirt
sleeves, Is removed.

New York's Rocking Stone.

Perhaps some OF the most interest
ing objects in picturesque Sullivan coun-
ty. New York state. is the Rocking
Stone" on the farm of Joseph McLaury,
two miles west of the county site,
Monticello. In the center OF Il rather
demure looking stone wall. of which
it is part, stands rock whose history
is as yet unwritten, and lies buried
with the dead Of many generations.
The farm, within the boundaries of
wbich it rests. is in a valley at an ele-
vation of some 1900 feet above the
level OF the sea. forming. consequently,
a most appropriate pedestal on which
TO stand. At first sight it probably
would not attract more than a passing
notice. but it is when second and
closer observation is made that the
wonderful and delicate hand of nature
is seen both in its composition and
smoothly chiseled sides. In size it is
nearly 800 cubic feet, shaped very
much like an orange, and weighing
$1,000 pounds, or forty tons, and so
nicely balanced on q table of rock as
to be easily set in motion from either
the north or south side, yet the COM
bined strength Of hundred men with.
out artificial appliance, could not dis
lodge it from its present position. Its
body is composed Of loose and soft
sandstone. in which are EN- bedded
numberless round and dainty pebbles
OF diamond-like hardness.

worst in the world. They are becom-
Ing poorer every year. Since rail-
roads became common but little atten-
ton has been given to wagon roads.

In having roads over which heavy
loads could be hauled. They knew
that good roads resulted in a great saw

Household Suggestions.

One tablespoonful OF liquid makes
one-half ounce.
Jelly bags should he made of flannel
and pudding bags OF linen.
DO not put soap in the water with
which you clean a mirror; it is almost
impossible to polish the glass if soap
is used.
A paragraph in the New England
Farmer points out that a tablespoonful
OF kerosene added to the soap and
water which floors are washed will
greatly help in making them clean and
leave the paint fresh and bright There
will also be considerable saving of
soap.
Jelly made Of green grapes is good
foundation for any other kind, using
enough lemon peel or peach. ounce or
orange juice to give it a flavor. Rhu-
barb used when it jellies best will
answer the same purpose. 1t is worth
knowing this in seasons when fruit is
scarce. as at present.
Having discovered large white
stain on black walnut table. 1 was
greatly pleased to find that it could be
removed by the application OF spirits
OF camphor. This should be followed
as soon as dry by brisk rubbing with
flannel cloth on which there is q
small quantity OF good oil.
To wash fancy hosiery dissolve some
borax in the water. teaspoonful to
two quarts. soak the goods in this half
an hour or more, then add soap to the
water till good suds is made. Rub out
the hose. rinse in two waters and dry.
Fancy silk handkerchiefs and neckties
may be washed in the same way.
10 take grease spots from carpets,
take two ounces aqua ammonia, two
ounces white CASTLE soap, one ounce
glycerine, one ounce ether. Cut the
soap fine, dissolve in one pint of water
over the fire, add two quarts of water
and the other ingredients. For remov-
ing spots use sponge or clean flannel
cloth saturated with the mixture to an
ordinary sized pail OF water.

Singing in the Village Choir.

Those were happy days in Squankum,

Its gently flowin' crystal brook

An in piled Susan, me am Bill

In tn church on tn messy hill.

He was right smart player, too,
While used t. sing the tenor

When tn preacher finished preachin'
Bill, he'd make tn organ roll
With most inspirin' melody
OF "Jesus. Lover of My Soul"
But that was many years ago.

An can't tell just exactly
Why tn choir split up in row.
1t seems that Bill, he got jealous

That loved her as few men do.
But Sue didn't want no trouble

In the Saddle.

Teach your saddle horse to rein by
the neck, or turn to the right or to the
left by the indirect indication" as
the riding masters term it. 1t makes
horses much pleasanter to ride than if
they have to be pulled around by the
bit. To teach horse this simple trick.
exert slight pressure of the rein on
the side toward which you wish to
turn. and an instant later press the
outside or opposite rein against the
neck. at the same time giving slight
impulse with the outside heel. that is
with the left heel if turning to the
right, and with the right heel il turn
ing to the left. This keeps the horses
Group in proper position. A lady rider
must make her whip take the place of
the right heel. 1t is far easier to teach
horse prompt obedience to the indi-
rect indication. while riding him in an
enclosure, than when riding him in
the open; the fences, or walls, at the
turns making clearer to him what his
rider wishes him to do. Give the first
lessons at a walk and be certain that
your horse understands clearly what
the indications mean before attempting
them at the trOt or canter.
