Remedy for Hydrophobia.

The herb called skull cap, from the
envelope which envelopes its calyx, and
which has a fanced resemblance to the
skull Of dog, is regarded by many as
certain preventive of hydrophobia. 1t
Is found in low, moist places, and can be
had of most druggists in large cities,
who make specially of herbs. 1t is q
nervine, and in great many cases with
in our knowled &c it has prevented
hydrophobia in persons, while animals
bitten by the same dog died of the dis
ease. The remedy is rather disconnten-
anced by the doctors, who do not prefer
the less simple methods for checking dis
ease. In fact, many doctors within
few years have expressed doubts whether
the hydrophobia disease did not wholly
exist in Imagination. Driven from this
position, as they all have been, why do
they not include this popular simple
remedy, which has many believers, in
the various plans they are trying to de-
stroy the hydrophobic germs! It can do
no more harm to try the simple remedy
than it did the proud Syrian officer in
the Bible story to try dipping himself in
Jordan seven times for the cure of the
leprosy with which he was afflicted

Big Money in Coyotes.

Through the carelessness of the last
California Legislature in passing a bill
giving bounty for coyote scalps the
State will probably have to pay several
hundred thousand dollars before the law
can be repealed. A member from Shelp
County brought up his coyote bounty
bill last winter, and though "guyed'
numerically about it, he finally secured
its passage, most members regarding it
"a joke. There is nothing funny in it
low, as it is seen to be scheme for
helping thrifty sheep growers to herd
ihocks at small expense, while it opens
the door to fragrant frauds. Recently
many complaints were made that coyote
sca!ps had been imported from Arizona
and old Mexico, and the bounty OF fifty
cents on each collected from the county
treasurers of California. In this way
Fresno County has paid out $4,000 in
two months and Los Angeles even more.

A Glove Described.

People who know about gloves use
complicated vocabulary. They call the
piece of leather glove is made out Of
trauk. The side pieces to the fingers
they call fourchettes, and the little pieces
that join the fourchettes to the gloves
they call quirks, or sometimes gussets.
The binding up and down the opening
for the buttons and buttonholes is the
slit welt, and the top welt is the piece
which is added to the top of the glove.
When they get to talking about glove
seams they make number of nice dis
tinctions in stitches. They call it an in
seam when the edges are turned in and
stitched through the inside. They talk
about prick seam when one edge IS
Tapped over another. Oftencst of al
they speak of the overstitch when the
edges of the leather are sewn through
and round, The welt seam is like the
in-seam, except that it has third piece
OF leather in the middle.

A Turkish Candy Feast.

This lenten month of Ramazan is fol-
lowed by three days OF kcuH (pleasure)
and tcbrik congratulations. This is
the time when all good Moslems, very
much as Americans do during Christmas,
visit each other and give presents to one
another. The subordinates pay their
respects to their superiors, and the young
folks kiss the hand of their elders. This
is called the feast of Sheker-Bairam-
viz, sugar festival. The amount of
candies consumed during these three
days is simply amazing. Tons and tons
of Oriental bonbons are distributed by
the Sultan's private treasurer among the
soldiers and students of Constantinople.
Now is the time when everybody par
takes of rahat-lokoom-the famous
Turkish delight" or Gig PASTE" as
Americans call it, although figs have
nothing to do with it--and the delicious
ghyul-beh-sheker or roseleaf jam. No
wonder our American dishji dentist in
Constantinople has always more work
than he can attend to.-[New York

Salt Ballast.

The Southern Pacific railroad across
the Colorado desert has, it is said, a
long stretch of track ballasted with beau
tiful Jumps of pure salt crystals. There
is in the neighborhood large deposit of
pure rock salt, and the salt was the only
available ballast. This is perhaps the
first instance in the history of railroad
ing where track has been laid in and
ballasted with salt. Millions of grass
hoppers and legions of giant centipedcs
fell into this salt when it was in LIQUID
state, and now, after having reposed
there for thousands of years, they are
found perfectly preserved. [Picayune.

THE Irrigation Age sem, disposed
to carry the war into Africa" as one
means of bearing down opposition to
the proposal to cultivate the waste
places in the interior of this conti-
nent An article in its latest num-
Der asks "Will the time ever come
when the States of the Atlantic will
irrgate?' and leads up to the infer
encc that it will. 1t makes the point
that skillful irrigation means gener-
ally control of the water. and excels
all tillage without it almost as much
as good tillage excels no cultivation.
People forget that the cradle of civ
lliZation, the nursery of art, litera-
ture, architecture and eloquence. and
the first great seats of empire and
wealth were in the irrigated lands.
The earlier migrants to this coun-
try came from the cold and rainy
! parts OF Europe, and settled on the
cold and rainy portions of the Allan
tic coast. Had they come from the
south Of France, and settled instead
on the Pacific coast, developing all
water resources as the tide of popula-
ton moved eastward conditions
would have been very different from
what they are now. Many years ago
there were men who concluded it was
| cheaper to lead out water upon land
that lay all ready for the plow, use it
when needed, and keep it off when
not wanted, than it was to hcw down
forest, dig out the stumps, and see
crops lost one year with too much
rain and the next year with not
enough moisture. They have had
many imitators. and in future ages
must have SO many more as to vindi-
cate beyond the shadow of a doubt
the wisdom of the course. Irrigated
lands have supported the worlds
greatest populations, and the exper-
fence Of ages has proved that an acre
of land properly treated with water
from ditch will produce far more
than an acre that is dependent upon
capricious rainfall. Those who irri-
gate in parts of France and Italy
where the rainfall is greatest know
right well what they are doing, and
there are thousands of places in the
United States where the people will
do the same thing before the lapse of
another century 1t is in this way
that the food problem Of the future
must be solved.
