Pulling Teeth by Electricity.

An electric tooth-puller is being ex-
perilnented with in England, and is
creating an immense commotion in the
world Of dentistry. BY means of this
new device the stubbornest and most
sensitive teeth are extracted in atwink-
ling; and with absolutely no pain to
the patient. The victim grasps the
handle attached to one wire leading
from the battery, and pair Of forceps
is attached to the other wire. When
the fOrceps touch the tooth a circuit is
formed. The jaw being much more
sensitive to a shock than the hand, the
gums are SO numbed by the electricity
that the tooth can be pulled without
the patient suffering particle. In
order that no person receives n shock
too great for his system he tests the
current himself before the forceps are
applied to his molars. Expei ments
made in the Philadelphia College of
Dentistry prove beyond doubt that with
aid of an electric current even nerves
can be removed from decaying teeth
without causing pain. The method. as
explained, is simple.

ALL WINGS AND FEATHERS.
Deceptive Appearance of Several Males
tic DeniznDs of the AIR,

The biggest of all really powerful
flying birds are, believe, the wander
ing albatross and the South American
condor-for the roc l reject outright
as worthy only of the most restricted
Arabian and nocturnal ornithology,
says writer in the Cornhill. Seen on
the wing, or even with the wings ex-
banded merely, both these great exist
ing birds have most majestic and
colossal appearance. But feathers in
such cases are very deceptive; they
make fine birds out of very small
bodies. For example, our well-known
little English swift, which looks so i'm
posing in fight as it passes overhead
with pinions poised, is hardly as big
when plucked as a mans top thumb
joint, and weighs only half an ounce.
So, too, the albatross, though its en-
panse of wing is said to exceed that of
any other known bird, amounting some
times to nearly ten feet from tip to tip,
does not average in weight more than
fifteen pounds, which is just exactly
the pOulterer's statement for my last
family Christmas turkey. As for the
condor, while he spans from wing to
wing some eight feet, his length from
beak to tail is only three and half,
and I doubt If he would pluck into any
thing corresponding to his magnificent
outer show-though am bound to ad-
NIT that have never personally tried
the unpleasant experiment.

Girls Who Are Morbid.

sometimes wish l could have each
one of these self-termed unhappy girls
for about ten minutes and talk to her,
says Ruth Ashmore, in Ladies' Home
Journal. and just make her see that
she is little bit OF Ounce. My dear
child, when people have trouble, and
real trouble, they don't sit down and
analyze all their emotions, and re-
member whether this person or that
person looked to the right or to the
left when they were speaking to them,
or whether due consideration was
shown to eyes inclined to brim over
with tears and lips ever prone to
culver. Before real sorrow l bow
myself down with the utmost respect,
but before these morbid feelings of
yours am strongly tempted to smile,
and yet, after all, do sympathize
with you. But count this morbidness,
like good girl, as wicked little
demon that can be driven out.
Healthy companionship, plenty OF
laughter, good long walks in the sum
shine, and work will drive out the
wicked little imp-discontent-and
make you the happy, healthy. hopeful
girl that you ought to be. just form
a band against self analysis. against
the inclination to consider what every
infection of the voice and every look
of the eye means, and you will be
surprised to discover how much oil
good there is in the world. and how
little, comparatively, of that which is
bad.

Feeding Fowls for Eggs.

Injudicious feeding is ono OF the
most frequent mistakes of beginners in
poultry raising, and one that gives
rise to much i'll success. Hens that are
too much fed take on fat, lay soft eggs
or cease to lay any. get lazy, fevcrish,
and are ready prey to all sorts of
chicken diseases. There should be fed
only as much as will be eaten eagerly
and no more. As soon us the least in
difference to food is manifested the
supply should be cut short; and after
each meal all food left uneaten should
he cleared away. Grown fowls should
he fed only twice day-at morning
and evening. At noon. on our place,
tho different strains are turned out
separately into their exercising ground,
where there is Il pile Of earth thrown
up and sown with grain. They scratch
into this heap for the hidden food. and
strengthen their muscles while doing
it. The food furnished grown birds
should be of kind to make muscle
without too much fat and, in my case,
ia particularly designed to produce
eggs. The greater variety of food the
better.

Rows ON the Farm.

The decadence of farming of late
years is largely due to the undeniable
fact that city life has offered greater
attractions as we'll as greater profits to
the young. While it is true that farm
ing does not now require so severe and
unremitting toll as formerly, can it be
said that young people on the farm
have been encouraged to find their
pleasures and relaxation at home?
This is the only way to make farm life
attractive to the average young man.
If on each holiday he goes to the city,
it will naturally soon seem to him that
city life is all holiday, while life on
the farm is one of unceasing drudgery.
1t often happens that city boys kept at
work in stores, and only allowed to go
into the country for vacation, see only
the holiday side of farm life, and
acquire love for it that those brought
up on the farm too often do not share.
Why do not farmers take hint from
these facts, and make as much holiday
as possible for their sons at home? 1t
is time that the old rule, which made
the boy hoe his row and run for water
while the men rested, was superseded
by practice which would give boys
the easiest tasks, and the little invest
ments that give largest profits. as the
best means to interest them in farming
and make this the occupation of their
lives

Good Advice to John and Jane.

Now, john" said a mother to O
son, .'listen to me, for / am older than
you, or could not have been your
mother. Never marry young woman.
John, before you have contrived to
peep in at the house where she lives,
at least four orfive times before break
fast. You should know how late she
lies in the bed in the morning. You
should take notice whether her COM
plexion is in the morning as it is in
the evening, or whether the morning
wash and the towel have robbed her
of her evening bloom. You
should take care to surprise
her, so that you may see her in her
morning dress, and observe how her
hair looks when not expecting you.
If possible, you should be where you
can hear the morning conversation
between her and her mother. II she
is ill-natured Or snappish to her
mother, 80 she will be to you, depend
on it. But if you find her up, and
dressed neatly, in the morning. with
the same coun:enance, the same
smiles, the same neatly-combed hair,
the same ready and pleasant answer
to her mother. which characterize her
appearance and department in the
evening, and particularly if she is
lending hand to get the breakfast
ready. she is prize, John, and the
sooner you secure her to yourself the
BETTER
This is very good advice 10 John;
and as for Jane, if she is wise, she
will be quite as careful to find out
where the young man spends his even
ings, what company he keeps, how
late he stays out nights, and how he
looks and acts in the morning; how
he speaks of his father and to his
mother. how he treats his sisters and
other mems sisters, and then II all Is
satisfactory she will not regret that
she looked before she leaped.--Se-
lected.

It was stated by dairyman of lono

Every year there are many com.
plants of poor seed corn. The best
plan to avoid loss in this way is to test
the seed in the house few weeks
before planting. It is not likely that
so much will terminate in open ground

show clearly the proportion of seed
that retains vitality.
Why has a dog the privilege of wan.

erty of others, the sheep would have a
fair chance.
Lard is no longer the prime factor
in estimating the values of fat hog.
Medium-sized porkers, with plenty Of
lean meat, are now most in demand.
Hogs, such as used to be fattened until
they were too weak to get up and eat.
cannot make healthful pork. and as
lard no longer brings a much better
price than eatable meat there is no
reason for thus fattening them. y
Il have never had hog cholera On
my farm" says Theodore Lewis.
Whenever l buy hogs I quarantine
them for some time at distance to
prove that there is no disease among
them. use only mature animals to
breed from, and then keep them as long
as they are profitable--the sows till
seven or eight years old. These things
are worth considering by farmers"
| When the farm fails to produce the
crops that once were easily grown upon
it, the course to pursue is to restrict
the acreage. Cultivate only half the
space, or even less, and concentrate al
your manure upon it. The crops will
soon be larger than were secured from
the entire farm, less expense will b.
incurred, the farm will improve in fer
tility and the portion which is unused
will be benefited by the seasons of res
given it.
- No seed needs such frequent chang
ing as potato. If planted on the sam,

Careful selection OF smooth, perfect po

every few years will improve both tn
quality and quantity. The scarcity o
potatoes and consequent high price
will tend to make early crops high mex
season, and farmers should take hee,
and profit thereby.

struggle to gain access to some Of the
avenues which were supposed to lead
to the desired goal.
The "Argonauts' had several routes
among which to select. BY those from
the New England and the Middle States
the Cape Horn route was generally
preferred; those from the southern
states chose the Isthmus of Panama or
Nicaragua or Mexico; while the hardy
pioneers Of the west, who had become
accustomed to prairie travel, started
in their covered wagons, and, following
buffalo trails, broke the paths which
in a few months were plainly outlined
by the bleaching bones of their beasts
and the mounds of dead companions
who had succumbed to the hardships
of the desert. Many who could not
leave their homes sought to invest theil
capital in the seductive venture, and a
cooperative plan was generally
adopted in the New England states by
which the services of working mem
bers were Offset by fixed amount o.
money contributed by others. Hun

Reasons WHY Farmers Should Keep Bees

WHY Farmers should Keep Bees.

Why Farmers Should Keep neeS'
The fact that bees are pollen distrib-
utors is sufficient reason why place
should be made for them on every
farm. II kept for no other purpose
than the benefit they do to growing
crops and fruit bearing trees and plants
by spreading the pollen among the
blooms, these industrious workers
would be a valuable adjunct. Testi-
mony is abundant and conclusive as to
the desirable effects of bees upon grape
vines, fruit trees, and fruit bearing
plants generally. Indeed, one prom
inent apiarist goes so far as to insist
that a few hives of bees judiciously
placed will revive fruit farm from a
non-paying to a profitable investment:
Field crops, scientists tell us and
wide-awake farmers know from their
own observation, are greatly assisted
by the honey bees manipulations. In
deed, their influence is required for the
perfect floral fertilization of some OF the
cereal crops and the meadow grasses.
Where the farmer is too busy to give
his personal attention to the honey,
it was suggested that he purchase a
few hives and turn them over to his
wife and daughters. They will find
the pin money accruing from the sale
OF the honey convenient and pleasant
return for the labor and time spent
among the bees. The outdoor occupa-
ton. too. will prove n welcome and
healthful change from indoor drudgery,
which they can afford to hire done.

Increasing Richness OF Milk.

Dear corn is usually followed in this
country by dear butter. Hence it gen.
orally pays to feed cows giving milk
as literally of grain as they will bear,
thus increasing not only its amount bu,
richness. If the COW is bearing a cali
while thus fed this will transmit the
milk and butter tendency to the young.
1t is in this way, doubtless, that the
foundations of the best dairy herds
were originally established. The re-
verse OF the good feeding will quickly
produce a race of scrubs out OF tho
best stock that can DO produced.
