Recording Earth rremors hy photorraphx


The utility of the microphone for OBJ
servat1on of earth tremors and noises was
soon recognized, and Italy has for some
time held foremost place among the ma
lions which have taken advantage of the
special adaptability of this instrument. 1t
Is now found that photography possesses
admirable capabilities in the way of sup
piementing the work of the microphone in
making these delicate records. Sig. Ba-

mechanical registration of the motion of a
seismo microphone, had recourse to the
following device.

Heroic Treatment When q big Girl Ro.
fusrd to Learn IIer Lesson.
A Maine boy, who is now q professor
In ono of our Now England colleges,
used to teach town schools while fitting
himself for hi; university course, says
the Lewiston Journal. Seated opposite
to him ON railway train awhile ago he
related to mo somo of his early expert
enco in teaching tho youthful idea.
Ono strapping great girl, woman
grown, caused him considerable trouble
because of her Indifference to the beau
ties of education in general and "goger-
fry" in particular, for which neglect
he caused her to put in considerable
time after school in making I'D.
1t roachcd tho teachers ears ono day
that this maid had declared to an adj
miring group that She wouldn't have her
lesson on that afternoon, and that If tho
teacher kept her aftor school he would
have the privilege Of sitting up ono night
with her at any rate before she would
make tho lesson up. This idea caused
muchoxcitcmcnt among the pupils, who
are usually ready to enjoy o teachers
discontinue.
According to tho programme tho young
lady's lesson that afternoon was a COM
plcto failure, and sho was told to mako
1t up aftor school. When tho session
ended tho other pupils fingered about
with an air of expectancy to see tho out
como Of matters.
The teacher politely showed Thorn out
OF the room, however, and then went in
and shut the door. J hore Sat tho damsol
with hcr arms defiantly folded and tho
book closed on. tho desk before her.
Tho pedagoguo cordially invited her to
open the book and begin operations,
but this had no effect whatever.
"All right" said he, taking out his
watch. "I'll give you just thirty min
ntes to get that lesson, and If it is not
ready at tho end Of that time I'll take
you across my knee and give you ono Of
the most mprchensive, unabridged
and able-bodicd spankings that have
ev:r occurred since Julius Cesar was an
infant"
Then no took chair with his back to
the enemy. Surprise, modification,
tears and sobs ensued, but at the end of
the half hour tho lesson had been
lear ned--two lessons, probably.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

There is nothing which goes so far
toward placing young people beyond
the reach of poverty, as economy in the
management of their domestic affairs.
1t matters not whether n man furnish
little or much for his family, If there is
n continual leakage in the kitchen or in
the parlor. 1t is the husbands duty to
bring into the house, and 1t Is the duty
of the wife to see that nothing goes
wrongfully out of it-not the least arti-
Gle, however unimportant in itself, for
It establishes precedent--nor under
any pretense, for it opens the door for
Ruin to stalk in, and he seldom leaves
in opportunity unimproved. The hus-
bands interest should be the wife's
care, and her greatest ambition should
carry her no farther than his welfare or
happiness, together with that of her
shildren. This should be her sole aim,
and the theater of her exploits in the
bosom Of her family, where she may dc
as much toward making fortune, MS
he can in the counting-room or in the
workshop. 1t is not the money earned
that makes man wealthy-it is what
he saves from his earnings. A good and
prudent husband makes deposit of the
fruits of his labor with his best friend
and If that friend be not true to him
what has he to / opeP If he dare moi
olace confidence in the companion of his

Not Forget the Holidays.
j. NJ. Rice, Christian County, Mo-,
seems to know how to get the most of
true living on farm, and in recent
number of the Practical Farmer tells
how he gets some of it.
He says: "There should be time
when the work for the day is over,
when the harrassing chores are all
done and real rest at noon be had, and
real rest and recreation in the even
ing.
at is our rule to have the work to
stop in time, that the chores may all be
done before dark. Throw aside at
least some of the work-a-day clothing
and gather in a well lighted room where
books and papers abound.
Don't be content to have on your
table the interesting local paper and
even good farm and home paper; but
let there be half dozen suited to the
varied tastes of the family.
"In our little circle of six, no two of
us are equally interested in the same
things. Why should not the wants of
each mind be supplied so far as possi-
BILE? You may say you can not afford
it. We think you can.
eve were never so poor-and we
have often thought we were ut the bot
tom round among common farmers
but what the library table was better
supplied than the dining-room table.
| We think more of the minds of our
children than we do of their bodies, and
in the little circle of growing boys
and girls we see the good fruits of the
outlay.
"There has never been u day or night
when the farm has not been our home
and we have tried to make it n pleasan,
place for the young people, and we
have the satisfaction of seeing then
with Il deep love for the farm home
with no desire to wander away from
its fold. Yet they have deep interes
and an active place in every good worl
in the community.

SHEEP ON FARMS.
They should Never 30 Fed n Large Guam
tity mt One Time.

tity mt One Time.
No infallible rule can be given for
feeding sheep on the farms that Gun be
considered applicable under all conai-
tions. They need q good variety, and
this can be readily secured with lirde
care on the average farm. Hay fodder,
If bright and clean, oats, bran, some
corn and oil meal will make up Il good
variety, if properly managed. Breed
ing ewes especially need good care ut
this season, in order to secure the best
results with the lambs A light ration
of bran and oil meal can nearly always
be given the breeding ewes now with
profit, especially If early lambs are eX-
pected. In raising lambs for market
earliness is quite an item, and to secure
this in n majority of cases it will be
necessary to push them from the start,
and one of the best ways of doing this
is to feed the ewes literally with a ra-
tion that will enable them to supply
their lambs with plenty of milk. This
is one advantage in feeding oil meal
and bran; combined they make an ex-
cellent ration, and with clover,
hay and oats it is easy mol
only to keep the ewes in good,
thrifty condition, but also maintain
steady growth with the lambs. There
is no advantage in stinting the feed
either for the lambs or the wool. At
this time, while the weather is so
changeable, care muct be taken to keep
dry. Sheep need considerable exercise,
and do not bear confinement well, yet
it is not best to allow them to remain
out in windy or stormy weather, but it
is very important at the same time that
the shelter should be dry under foot.
Sheep should never be fed a large guam
tity at one time. Better results can be
obtained by giving small ration at a
feed and feeding oftener. The profit in
sheep is in the early lambs and in the
wool. Both of these depend largely
upon the feed and care given during the
winter. A difference of few days in
marketing the lambs and few pounds
difference in the weight of a fleece will
make n considerable difference in the
profit that it is possible TO realize.
Provide plenty of bedding to keep the
shelter clean and dry, good variety o.
food and plenty of it to keep in good
thrifty condition, and sheep can bt
made profitable.-St. Louis Republic.
