Tender Rnnt. set neen,

It is certainly true that, when well protected, very tender roots will endure our hardest winters. When we obtained cions of Russian pears, plums and cher ries, we had nothing to graft them on but our native seedlings We have done so, and, planting them out in nursery and orchard, we have never lost tree of any variety from winter killing of the roots. But we have always taken pains to set them down well below the point of union. Vermont Watchman.

A Mixture tn Make Fowls Lay Well.
 The following mixture is found by an experienced breeder to be admirable fol supplying egg material and for produc- ing strong, healthy bodies: Three sacks (six bushels) wheat, two sacks of broken corn, two sacks of oats and one bushel of ground oyster shells, one bushel of broken charcoal, one gallon of sulphur and one-half bushel of salt; all of this thoroughly mixed. Town raised chick ems need some meat, and this, boiled and chopped fine, is given them two or three times week. In the country where they can pick up worms and catch in sects in summer the meat Is not needed. So delicate and nourishing food as an egg is well worth all 1t costs. 1t is just as easy to have hens laying at any season of the year as to have cows give milk Montana Farming and Stock Journal

A New Locomotive.

The St. Paul Railroad is building two
engines which promise a revolution in
locomotive building. These engines will
consume their own smoke and will have
no smokestack. They will be fitted up
with an electrical headlight, placed
Immediately in front of the boiler,
thus giving the engineer an unobstructed
view of the track ahead. The driving
wheels will be larger than on ordinary
locomotives, and are intended for greater
speed.
1t is hardly possible to overestimate
the value of the discovery of a smokeless
locomotive, if the plan shall prove a sue
cess. To think of riding in a Car with
out being exposed to a rain of SCOT and
cinders when the window is opened, or
being choked half to death with smoke
when going through a tunnel or a snow
shed, is something almost too good for
even the imagination. Railroad travel.
ing would be a positive pleasure under
such circumstances.
Nor is this all. The. smokeless and
cinderless locomotive does away with the
danger of burning up wheat fields-a
thing which occurs many times every
year with the present style of engines.
Spark arresters have been invented, but
they do not do their work perfectly, and
every summer the railroad companies
have to pay for fires caused by sparks
from their engines.
Again, where railroads run into cities
the vicinity of the road is continually
smeared and grimed up by the smoke and
SCOT from the passing and repassing
locomotives, and the housewife who
hangs out her weeks washing often has
occasion to do anything but bless the
present style of engines. This evil will
be cured by the adoption of smokeless
locomotives.
Every railroad in the United States
ought to adopt these engines if they
prove a success, and if they seem unwil-
ling to make the change the law should
lend them the necessary stimulus. The
comfort and convenience of the people
should be considered before the extra
cost to the railroad companies. San
Francisco Chronicle.

Mexico's Sour Bread.

s'If a good American baker were to
start an establishment in the City of
Mexico | I'm certain lie could make an
immense fortune in a few years" said
George S. Day, of the firm of Day g.
Dean, promoters, New York, when at
the Laclede yesterday. 'tMy business
calls me to Mexico two or three times a
year, and every time I am there I am
compelled to eat sour bread OF none at
all. At the leading hotels, fashionable
boarding houses and private residences
the bread is just the same. The flour
used, so far as / could learn, was all
right, the trouble is that the bakers
there don't know how to make bread.
The Mexicans, as well as the foreigners,
complain about the inferior quality Of
the bread, and I know there is a fortune
awaiting the baker who will go to Mex
leo and make good bread. n-St. Louis

The London Lancet, referring to the
firing Of the great guns aboard ship by
the officers in the coming tower, raises
the question whether the strain on trained
gunners after an hour or so of gun prac.
lice carried on in covered classmates
would not render the guunsrs incapable
Dr. decidedly reluctant to nan their guns.
The effect, it is ~contended, produced on
The nervous system by the uncertainty rs
to when the guns fred by electricity
from a distance would go of would be
very considerable, and prove ~exhausting
10 the gunners. It is held that if a man
has to do anything which calls forth I'M
wonted effort of any kind, he either
voluntarily prepares himself for it or the
system involuntarily adjusts itself ae-
cordingly. A sudden and unexpected
noise causes a shock to the nervous sys-
tenn, which, if frequently repeated, is
apt TO induce nerve tension, followed by
nervous exhaustion.

WISE WORDS.

The worst of slaves is he whom passion
rules.
The anticipation of evil is the death OF
happiness.
The goal of yesterday will be the start
ing point of to-day.
True merit, like a river, the deeper
is, the less noise it makes.
Who ever heard of a pure thought or
noble deed originating in a saloon?
Love is a blessed wand which wins the
waters from the hardness of the heart.
To give heartfelt praise to noble ac-
tions is, in some measure, making them
our own.
The scholar, without good breeding,
is a pedant the philosopher, q cynic;
the soldier, a brute; and every man dis
agreeable.
We seldom condemn mankind till they
have injured us; and when they have,
we seldom do anything but detest them
for the injury.
If you have built castles in the air
your work need not be lost; that is
where they should be; now put founda-
lions under them.
Haste and rashness ere storms and
tempests, breaking and wrecking bust
ness, but ninbleness is a full, fair wind
blowing it with speed to the haven.
Let any man once show the world that
he feels afraid of its bark, and twill fly
at his heels let him fearless face it, twill
leave him alone, but twill tawn at his
feet if he filings it a bone.

Direction of Wind in Thunderstormy.

A correspondent writes to Science from
Lyons, N. z, as follows: sit has been
noticed in connection with thunder
storms in this vicinity this season that in
every instance there has been an outflow
of air in every direction from the storm,
extending I'VE beyond the area of pre-.
cipitation and cloudiness. For example,
in the case of a storm appearing upon
tne southwestern horizon and moving
due east, and passing thence tnlse or
four miles south of this village, the
weathervane pointed directly toward it
continuously, veering slowly from south
west to southeast, showing that the wind
came steadily from the storm. The same
thing also occurred in the case of a
storm which appeared upon the north
western horizon and moved eastward,
passing three or four miles north of the
village. In this case the Yane pointed
directly toward the storm throughout.
the winds being quite brisk. In other
instances in which the storms passed
directly over the village the same thing
was manifest, the vane shifting sharply.
from west to east as the storm passed.
In previous years l have noticed The
puff of wind in front of an advancing
thunderstorm moving In the same direc-
ton as the storm itself and occurring.
just before the rain began to fall. but
my attention has never been called to
such an outflow of air in every direction,
as has been apparent in connection with
thunderstorms ~receatlE. Whatever may
be its explanation, it certainly is entirely
inconsistent with the idea of indraft and
uprush at the center of the storms in
which it occurs.

Sans Treasury Well Protected.

Some nervous citizen Of the Republic
having read of the contemplated raid on
the United States Treasury may lie awake
NIGHTS through fear that the plan may be
put into operation. Let him calm am
self. There is no likelihood OF sucn a
raid being made, and if 1t should be
made the probabilities of its success are
almost infnitesimal. This last plan pro-
posed that in various parts of the city
fires should be started. This was to be
followed by a riot, and during the ex-
citement the raiders calculated ON being
able to break into the Treasury. But
the scheme would have failed. There is
no CITY in the ~worlddbetter protected than
Washington. The plan by which the
streets converge into a circle at intervals
enables the authorities to plant batteries
in the circles and sweep the thorough
fares of rioters. This plan, credited to
the combined thought Of Washington
and Lafayette, was adopted in the recon
struction of Paris by Napoleon III.
Then the fire department of this city
is of a tirst-class order, and as for troops,
GuSy dDOuHo. Det'1uea JIG diSS Sudlu
of men armed with Winchesters and re-
voIvers within the Capitol and the fact
that many of the Treasury male employees
have organized a militia company to re
pei raiders, several thousand troops can
be brought into service here in less than
an hour. The Washington militia num-
bers 1000 men, and within half an hours
march is the arsenal whence 500 veteran
artilIerymen can be summoned by tele-
phone. Two experienced troops of
cavalrymen stationed at Arlington are
available for immediate service, while
from the marine barracks 800 of the best
drilled men living could be obtained.
Calling and Hotchkiss, to say nothing of
heavier guns, are plentiful. Moreover,
the mounted police are ~ex-cavalrymen
and all the patrolmen have served in the
United States army.
If this force isn't enough to put a
damper on the spirits of rioters, a couple
of batteries of the regular army can be
obtained from Baltimore in forty min
utes and a large force of marines and
sailors from Annapolis IN less than n
hour, So that, take it all into considera~
ton, the probabilities of a raid on the
United States Treasury succeeding are
very smalI.-Nleag Post.

at the great annual meeting Of volunteer
ridemen, at Bisley, the successor to

three of the marksmen, one Scotchma T
and two Englishmen, made the highes
possible scores, and the first four men of
the English eight made collectively 29S
points out Of a possible 300. At the 900
yards range two of the Englishmen made
73 points out of a possible rs, and at
the 1000-yards range four Of them made
10 points or over. The grand total of
the English team, the winners, was
1870 out of a possible 1900. The Irish
men were second, with a total of 1888,
and the Scotchmen last, with a total of
1917. All sorts Of records in this par

The highest individual score at all three
ranges was made by Captain Foulkes,
