Glover as a Weed Extermina.or.

Among its other excellent qualities as
an agricultural plant it Is common ex-
perience among farmers that clover is
one of the best exterminators Of weeds
Air and sunshine are as necessary for the
life of weeds as. they are for cultivated
plants. and when growing together, If
one is thrifty enough to outgrow and
overshadow the other, if not disturbed
it eventually takes possession Of the
ground, SO where clover is tmckfy sown
on ground naturally weedy the two year
ly 1nowings and the shade win prove too
much for nearly all varieties of weeds,
and when the ground is plowed for diff
ferent crop it will not only be enriched
from the clover, but viii be conn oodth1p para
lively free from weeds. But it must not
be forgotten that land may be 50 infer
tile that clover cannot be grown upon it
without first Inahuring it and putting
the soil into suitable condition for re-
ceiYings the seed, while a great many
kinds of weeds have the faculty of grow

laughter in Public.

What Is the reason one hears in public
places the loud voices of women so much
oftener than men?
Women-these loud voiced ones seem
TO have the fancy, that they cannot be
seen unless they are heard. And SO they
'cant-in their true character. II it were
not that their words and laughter foated
out into space and above the hum of all
other voices they really might at some
time get mistaken for ladies. From
their looks no one would imagine for an
instant that they were common, i'll bred
and vulgar.
A quiet flash of intelligence from their
eyes, accompanied by an appreciative
smile, would really convince an onlooker
that possibly it was the forerunner of
the keenest wit. But no wit can ac-
company the loud guffaw that bursts
out at the slightest provocation; no wit
from the boisterous laughter, and no ap-
probation of wit in others. Chicago

Future Of whea. in America.

We have had run of prosperity for
some years, and had been regaled with
the thought that we had more food ma
terial than the nation could consume,
and as 1nnch to spare as the rest of the
world might want to buy. The indica-
tions are that the day of heavy surplus
production is fast waning. Our wheat
crop in 1874 was the magnificent total of
512, 760 900 bushels. 1t has not kept at
the upper notch, and in the year 1889 it
figured maximum yield of 400, ,5OO, 600
bushels. We have greater population
by nearly $1,000, 900 than decade ago,
and the increase of home consumption
would necessitate a larger yield and not
a smaller.-Economist

says that one sheep can infect a thousand

hundred can. One, sheep that gets over

treated for those pests may undo thewhole
work which cost a hundred dollars for
labor and as much more for materials

CUNNING DEER HUNTERS
How the south American Indians Provide
Then selves with ventson.

) o.
Tbs manner in which the South
American Indians hunt deer IN the
Cordilleras is very interesting and
somewhat ingenious. They first ascer-
sain the locality In which, the animals
congregate 10 graze, and then the men,
women and children OF the tribe trass
extensive preparations to hem in tho
herd. In order to cause stampede
they, blow horns, yell and make other
6eWilderlng ana outisndish noises. AS
\ natural consequence the frightened
deer quit their grazing places. TEey
form in line in regular marching Or
der, the elder males leading the way
followed by the females and young,
while the rear OF ths dolumn is brought
up by the young bucks WIG act as
protectors 10 the centers.
The Indians now close in upon them,
peeing which the animals prepare TO
do battle for their lives. The hunters
then proceed to prepare the instrw-,
nents of destruction, consisting Of
large lances, resinous torches and
| nooses fixed to long poles.
The worst enemy of the deer is the
jaguar and wildcat and their animositJ
20 them is such that they have been
known to leap ever g hunter in order
to attack either of these feline foes.
The Indians, knowing this, employ ii
10 great advadtage during these hunts.
The women stuff a number OF iaguar
and cat skins, which are placed in
prominent positions on the edge OF
precipices in full view OF the deer, says
sho Detroit Free Press. Immediately
the bucks make violent effort TO get
Mt them in order to huri them into the
abyss beneath. but are thus treated
themselves by the willy hunters, who
pitch them over the cliff, whero they
are quickly hamstrung or otherwise
disabled by the women, who arc sta
toned below. After the first onslaught
on the stuffed figure the remaining
deer seem to recognize tho fact thai
hey have been tricked and huddle co.
gether. awaiting another attack.
| Then the Indians throw lighted
t5rches among them and a panic en-
sues. They make desperate efforts T.

Why Docs Solid Iron Float on Molter
Iron.

This question, which has puzzled n good
many observers, was satisfactorily cx-
planned by DIR. Anderson In a recent paper
on steel read before tho Iron Institute,
London. When . piece of solid iron is
thrown into q pot Of molten iron or steel
the solid metal ut first sinks, which shows
that its volume Is less than tho
melted metal. But soon tho solid piece
become heated, which causes It TO expand,
its volume Is Increased, and IL rises and
floats on the surface Of tho molten mass.
The action is the same both with iron and
steel. Mr.. Wrightsou said:
"The experiment was frequently made
by throwing q piece OF iron into melted
steel. They could see 1t go down, md
might think that 1t was on account OF tho
impetus which the iron had attained In
falling that height, but Us a matter Of fact
II the Iron were put upon fork and low
cred. It would go down: but In tho course
of few seconds it came up again, aud
kept on expanding until the piece OF Iron
was o considerable distance above tho
surface Of the metal. Then It decreased
in volume, and OF course became OF the
same volume as tho molten metal which II
Joined. Any one could sec by the distance
that the piece Of iron went above tho sur
face that 1t WAS OF considerably less
density than the molten metal"

ABOUT PNEUMONIA.
valuable Suggestions for Preservation
and Reference.

In alecture before school for nurses
in New York, DR.. William Gibson last
winter said, after giving a brief de-
scription OF the symptoms OF pathology
of pneumonia, that the first thing to be
secured was IL large airy room, well
ventilated and easily regulated with
regard to temperature. Put the pa
tient in bed and keep him there until
convalescencc is fully insured. All
unnecessary articles of furniture should
be removed 10 secure quiet and increase
the space OF the room. 1t is OF the
greatest importance to secure n proper
amount OF fresh air for this class OF
patients. DR.. Gibson called special
attention to the facts that the portion
of the lung infiamed became solid and
could no longer perform its function,
thus depriving the system of a certain
amount OF air and compelling the other
portions OF the lungs to do extra work;
that this consolidation of lung tissue
threw an extra strain on the force and
activity of the heart. thus consuming
more oxygen. Hence the greAt neces-
sity for perfectly pure air and perfect
bodily rest. All unnecessary talking
should be prohibited us well Us muscu-
lar movements. and all visitors should
be excluded from the sick room. Al
no time during the course of the de-
sease should the patient be allowed to
exert himself suddenly, or even be
raised suddenly from u recumbent,
position. The temperature OF the
room should not be allowed to vary or
to fluctuate. and should be kept nearer
30 deg. than 20 deg. II possible have
means at hand to prevent sudden low
ering OF the temperature IN the room
by tho rapid falling OF the the-mom.
eter on the outside. Admit as much
sunlight into the room AS possible.
Confine the diet almost entirely to liquid
