Most Of their troubles, sores. and eye

A Years Books.
ready.

Facts and figures are sometimes dry and
uninteresting; but those which give the
statistics of the publications for the past
year in this country and in England are
of uncommon significance. 1t appears that
there were 1859 books published in and
imported in the United States in 1890, as
against 4O14 in 1889, 1881 in 1888,
4437 in 1887 and 1875 in 1886. OF
these 1859 books $3.50 were new works
manufactured in this country, the rest
being new editions and importations.
The greatest activity was shown, as
usual, in fiction, of which there were no
fewer than 935 new books published
three for every week day in the year.
There were also 1O5 new editions of
novels printed, and rs were imported !;
making q total of Ills WORKS of fiction
in all. In 1889 the total number pub
lishcd was 942, and in 1888, S74 In
England, on the other hand, the food of
fiction is growing less in volume. Last
year there were only SS1 new novels pub
lished, against 1O4O in 1889 and 929 in
1888.
The last three years have seen steady
falling off in the total number of books
published in England. Last year there
were 5735, including new books aud
new editions; in 1889, 6O67; and in
1888, 6591. A year ago the London
Academy accounted for this decrease on
the theory that the newspapers, reviews
and magazines were supplying the wants
Of the public and were taking the place
Of books. The English figures for 1890
90 to conform this view; but the extra
ordinary productivity of American au-
thors has turned the tide upward in this
country. The figures for 1890 are not
much below the maximum for 1886,
when the extraordinary number of 1876
books was published.
In this country famous writers, cspe-
cially novelists, are turning more and
more to the newspapers for a first mar
ket for their works, and the influence
upon the book trade of the newspaper
aud of the half dozen great magazines is
matter that may become of as great i'm
portance in this country as it now seems
to be in England. -Ne,0 York Press.

KIDDING FOWLS OF vERMIN.

Light soil to wallow in and dust them
selves Cos not always keep fowls free
from lice. To assist in destroying the
vermin, mix heaping tablespoonful of
sulphur in every four quarts of pudding
given them for feed once day. Wheat
bran or shorts makes the best pudding
material, and when fed should be placed
in trough long enough for every hen to
eat at the same time, then each hen gets
its due share. No more pudding ought
to be made than the poultry is sure to
eat up clean at the time Of feeding. If
this quantity of sulphur makes the hens
loose, give less per day; this Is much
better than to omit it for one or two or
more days. Sulphur in pudding answers
The same purpose as putting it on the
back of the head, over the rump; or un-
der the sides of the thighs; thus applied
it occasionally makes raw spots and
sores, and it is a tiresome job to catch
the hens and rub in the sulphur. --Ne'0

Forhearance.

Forbearance is key note to married
life. There can be no great discord, nor
can there be much divergences from tune
fulness, so long as the husband and wife
forbear with each other. Now this can
not be done without some labor. Great
results are approached gradually in
character and in fact, as is the case in
the forming of a sand-hill. 1t is grain
upon grain, shovelful upon shovelful
that causes the mound to rise. So the
good results in character come gradually.
An act at time, a deed yesterday, a
word this morning, a cross answer to-
day, repeated week or month hence,
are facts that, though they may seem
small at first, will eventually form a
dark barrier between husband and wife.
Forbearance for each others misgivings,
pleasing words and kind treatment, will
more firmly unite their hearts.

By all means prepare now a supply OF
stovewood sufficient to last throughout
the summer. Choppiug or saving can
be done with less discomfort now than in
July; there is not rush now, and every
available moment of spring and summer
will be needed for work that can be
done only during those seasons; and the
wood can be cut while green if prepared
now land green wood can be more easily
prepared than dry wood, and will be
dry enough if sheltered until it is needed.
II the summer stoYewood is not pre-
pared now, cultivating or harvesting
must be neglected while wood is cut; or
else the women are required to prepare
the fuel for the stove during spring aud
summer, and this is a scalding shame.
Preparing a summer supplyof stoyewood
is not a great job if it is gone ABOUT
rightly. 1t is a great saving to su0sti-
tute horse or wind or steam power for HUI
man energy. The best summer stovewood
is light stuff, like cottonwood or white
elm, that ignites quickly, makes quick,
hot Ere, and then dies down rapidly,

A STRONG MAN CONTEST.
Trial of Strength Between Two Men
of Muscle.

Sampson, who adycrti.cs himself as
The strongest man on earth, and an
lthcte from Birmingham named Mr..
Montgomery, had trial Of strength for
money at Liverpool. Sampson, accord
ne to the conditions, was the first to
lead If, commencing with barhell
weighing 172 pounds. This he lifted
rom the ground with his two handS up
% his chest, and then over bis head and
IN to his shoulders, following this up by
bringing the barLcll back again to the
floor. Loud applause, Of course fol-
owed this, but it was as nothing com
pared to that which grecie Montgomery
when he accomplished the same feat.
The Birmingham man, however did not
pass through the ordeal by any means 50
gracefully as did Sampson, there being a
certain amount of clumsiuess apparent.
Balancing the barbell was next on the
list. AS usual, Sampson did his utmost
without an effort Montgomery, when
his turn came rivallcd his opponent
after a desperate effort. Next the chal-
lcngcr, by supreme effort, hO:s.cd over
his head with one band the same
barbcll. In response, the Midland
MN did likewise, amid great ap.
plausc, the excitement now reaching
fever pitch. Two iron bars selected by
the referee were now introduced, Samp-
son leading of by bending the one sup
piled to him by striking it on his bare
arms and Strengthening it again in the
same manner. Ills opponent, amid great
excitement and perfect din Of applause,
followed suit. Now commenced one Of
SIMPSONS particular 'cats. Standing on
chair, with his feet strapped, he got
hold Of the aforesaid Darboll, and bend
ing backward dropped it on the stage.
Stcadying himself once more, he again
bent back until his hands reached the
barbcll, and by an a'mo,t superhuman
effort he triump hantly recovered himself
and hostel it above his shoulders.
Montgomery advanced to the front The
act OF putting it down he did very clev-
crly, but in picking it up it WIS apparent
that he was in dire 81 ats, and 10 sooner
had hv hoistcd it up than he tainted
away and had to be removed from the
stage. Mr.. Henderson came forward and
stated that Mr. Montgomery was unable
to proceed any further, bit that, as he
succeeded in all his feats which hal been
set him, he would be satisfied if Sampson
would break shilling which he had in

A New System Of Llqhtinl.

A new system of lighting by means of
petroleum lamps has been introduced in
one of the large railroad stations in Lon
don. The system consists in the use Of
a large tank containing the oil, from
which pipes run to the various lamps,
carrying the oil by gravitation, as needed.
Each lamp has a small reservoir fog hold
ing sufficient oil to saturate the WICK, the
flow Of oil being regulated by an auto
matte valve. The joints in the pipes arc
sealed by material not affected by oil.
The wick is lowered or raised by wire
outside OF the lamp, and wheu tine wick
is lowered fash light continues TO burn,
so thai the entire wick cal be liga.ed
when required. Boston Transcript.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
PRESERVING FENcE POSTS.

A new method of preserving fence
post from rottiuy is described by Ger
man paper. The posts to be treated are
allowed to get thoroughly dry and are
then placed for several days in tub OF
lime water, so that the ends to be set in
the ground may get thoroughly satu-
rated. After removing them from the
lime water they are to be dried and then
painted with diluted sulphuric acid.
This treatment makes them very hard,
and they last far longer in the ground
than posts charred at the end or treated
with tar. The philosophy OF this pro-
cess is not very evident, since the sui
phate of lime, which would be formed
on the surface by painting the posts with
sulphuric acid, after the lime water
treatment, is quite soluble in water
Probably the good result is due entirely
to the lime water, which is known to be
AZ excellent preservative for wood
