PRACTICAL HINTS.

CLOVER hay cut in small pieces and
scalded can be made to take the place
of vegeta bles in winter.
SMALL sweet potatoes are superior to
corn for fattening pigs. as they con-
tain large proportion of starch and
sugar. The proper way to feed them is
to first boil them, adding a peck of
bran to each bushel of the potatoes.
The refuse roots and all unstable por-
tons are equal to the best for fatten-
ing purposes.
BARREL of apples or other fruit
will bring better price when the fruit
has been assorted. 1t is a waste of bar
rels, fruit, labor and transportation to
ship two barrels of ordinary fruit to
market when letter price can be OBJ
tanned for one-half of the same fruit if
it is carefully selected over and only
the best marketed.
WHEN the cattle ranges are settled
beef will probably be cheaper. 1t re-
quires less land to raise cattle on farms
than on the range, aud with better care,
and the cattle industry in the hands of
many instead of few, beef will be of
better quality and cattle more numer-
Gus. The best beef is produced on cul-
tivated farms.
STUBBLE and grass may serve as a
mulch over the land during the winter,
but it is known that the stubble har-
bors and protects thousands of insects.
1t is better to burn the fields over after
the stubble is dry, .Kza 20 attempt to
destroy the insects in the spring. Fire
is friend, if judiciously used, as it al
lows no insects to escape.

Aconrentional Custom.

One of the simplest instincts OF good
manners would seem to be that man
should uncover his head while eating
his dinner with his family; yet it is
pretty certain that the first gentlemen
of England two centuries ago habit
ually wore their hats during that cere-
mony, nor is it known just when or
why the practice was changed. In
Pepys' famous Diary, which is the best
manual of manners for its period. we
read, under date of September %, 1864:
"Home to bed, having got strange
cold in my head by fiinging off my hat
at dinner. and sitting with the wind in
my neck In Lord Clarendon's essay
on the decay of respect paid to age he
says that in his younger days he never
kept his hat on before those older than
himself except at dinner. Lord Claren-
don died in 1914. That the English
members of parliament sit with their
hats on during the sessions is well
known, and the same practice prevailed
at the early town meetings in New En-
gland. The presence or absence of the
hat is therefore simply conventional
ty, and so it is with thousand prac-
tees which are held, so long as they
exist, to be the most Interchangeable and
matter-of-course affairs. Ba-

STUDENTS OF ANATOMY.
How Those in Washington Differ from
European Science Chasers.

How Those in Washington Differ from
European Science Chasers.
In the majority of European ccun-
tries a student of anatomy is regard
as a quasi-outlaw, with a reputation
for chronic conflict with the civil au-
thorities. The university authorities
of Germany furnish the student a tick
ct which gives him immunity from the
police. In Russia he meets in dark
corners with the bonn b-makers and
breathes the spirit of nihilists owe his
comrades, always being fond Of duels
and beer. In Spain he writes
love sonata's and twangs
guitar. Cricket, boat-racing, and
classics occupy good portion
of his time in England. while in
America baseball is his weakness foot
ball his strength, and an occasional out
ing to steal a stiff or parade around
with superannuated mummy, fur
nishes him with little of the sweets of
life.
No city in the world, perhaps, where
hundreds of medical students asse N BILE
yearly is given as little trouble with
these ANTAGONISTS as is Washington, and
the somnolent policeman does not re-
gard him with awe save when caught
with a corpse in hack returning from
some lonely graveyard. At no time
have they been regarded as insurrec-
tionists, but apparently they come
here for work and the splendid
advantages offered. Great tempta-
tions to frivolous and idle students
are, of course to be found, but few
stray into crooked paths. These stu
dents are composed of all ages and con-
ditions of life-the beardless youth and
the gray-bearded NJ. D., who feels he
needs brushing up. Here is the rich
mans son, whose main object is by APP
pearances of industry to draw literally
on the family exchequer. There is the
struggling young man of twenty-five or
thirty. who has spent years teaching
school to obtain the means of reaching
the goal of his ambition. He can live
at comparative little cost and more
often does The majority hire rooms
at cheap rental and eat according to
the fastidiousness of their appetites or
pocket-boolSs.
The way the student lives is no critic
rion to his standing in his class. and the
country student. whose weekly expenses
would not pay for bottle of champagne,
and who never wore dress-suit in his
life, frequently outstrips the rest of his
class. The only test of excellence and
standing is within the walls of the
classroom. The old-time idea with
medical students that their rooms must
be decorated with skulls and human
bones, or other anatomical brio brac,
has been relegated to the rear. and
now only very ''fresh' students in
dulge in this luxury. Among this class
it is considered quite smart to obtain
relics of the dissecting-room with which
to rega1e admiring visitors, and the
possession of human skeleton is evil
dence of his calling. The joke of hav-
ing skeleton upon the door and then
embrace the visitor is as ancient as a
minstrel gag. The skeleton is to the
medical student what the goat is to
the masonic candidate. -Washington

Ground Bones for Poultry.

Ground bones and cut bones are diff
ferent. A fresh, green bone cannot
well be ground. 1t may be crushed or
pounded, but not easily ground. Hand
mills are in use that permit of grind
ing bones that have become hard and
dry. or have been steamed or heated,
but the green bones must be pounded
or cut in fine pieces with knives. There
is a great difference in the value of
fresh bones from the butcher and those
that have been exposed until they are
dry. Green bones contain quite pro-
portion of meat and cartilage, and are
greedily eaten by all classes of fowls.

ABOUT SODA WATER.
The Manufacture of Distinctly American
Beverage.

The Manufacture of Il Distinctly American
beverage.
Soda water is an American drink. It
is as essentially American as porter
Rhine wine and claret are distinctively
English, German and French. The
most interesting fact in the manufac-
ture of soda water is that it contains
no soda. The prominent ingredients
are marble dust and sulphuric acid,
neither of which is regarded as health
full nor palatable when taken separate
ly. Moreover, to render them so in
com bination requires a pressure of at
least hundred and fifty pounds
to the square inch-a condition
dangerous to life and limb except
under proper safeguards and with the
strongest machinery The generator
is, in fact, made of gun-metal iron
tested to five hundred pounds to the
square inch. Into this is put the mar
BILE dust, to which, from another strong
chamber, is led the sulphuric acid.
Then the two are Graded, and the gas
generated is passed into steel fountains
lined with block-tin, two-thirds full of
the water to be charged. These foun-
tains are then securely fastened, and,
like huge bombs in size and almost as
destructive, are carried in wagons
through the streets, to be stored under
drug store counters. Surely in all the
history of fairyland there is nothing
more marvellous than the escape of this
sparkling, bubbling, foam-crested
liquor. like an enchanted prince from
the gloomy death-chamber. to delight
and refresh the world.
Whiting formerly was used to furnish
the carbonate, and whiting and chalk
are still used in England. The use of
marble dust, under the pretty name of
snowflake" is peculiar to this coun-
try. We produce our own marble,
moreover, and whiting comes under the
provisions of the Mckinley bill. The
chips of the marble cathedral on Fifth
avenue alone supplied twenty-five
million gallons of saltwater; thus
economically we drink up unavailable
bits of buildings public and private),

ton, the manufacture of soda-water re-
mains much the same. The method en-

identified with the national drink in
this country was an apprentice of
Bramah. and has developed his method
here. That form of concentration,
moreover, that ali sorts of enterprises
now take was long since a feature of
the soda-water industry.
Formerly the actual process took
place under the drugstore counter.
No one has yet estimated the decreased
percentage in loss of life since the drug
store boy ceased playing with the
vitriol, carbonates and forcepump as if
he had a squirt-gun in a hogshead of
water under an cave trough. Explo-
sions of soda fountains do now some
times occur, but they have ceased to be
a national feature, as on reading old
English catalogues of rival manufac-
lures they seem once to have BEEN

Abraham and Isaac in Real Life-The Aw-
full Tragedy of Zealot.
Toward the close CT day in late
winter Dmitri Kurtin sat at the door of
his log izba, reading. He was a man of
about fifty. tall. dark, emaciated, with
narrow. high forehead. piercing small
eyes and compressed lips-the face of a
fra redemptor, stern, forbidding, SOM
Der. By the fading afternoon light
Kurtin read his book-an old Slavonic
Bible, inherited from his grandfather
1t was the eve of ST. Isaac, and he was
reading the history of the ancient patri-
arch, reading and bordering, reading
and praying. He had read and re-read
the terrible story of Abraham's inter
rupted sacrifice of his son, and the old
Hebrew tale seemed, somehow, to
possess a strange fascination for him,
filing his mind with awful thoughts
that would come surging in upon him,
he knew not whence. He explained
afterward that the thought of the
wiclkedness of the world and the utter
hopelessness of salvation coming to
men had been for a long time weighing
him down with grief. That all men
must perish because of their iniquity
and distance from God was an idea that
for weeks had been taking firmer hold
upon him. What could he do to pre-
vent the inevitable doom that was to
fall on mankind? Filled with this no.

Abraham and Isaac and the awful
thought entered his mind that he

The InOculation Experiment Works Like

The InOculatiOn Experiment Works Like
Charm.
MADISON, Wis, Aug. 1.-Experiments
have been made in Dane county with the
inoculated Chinese bugs from Kansas.
Reports have been received from the OPP
erations on the farm of Frank Sink, in
College Grove. A bog of dead bugs was
brought to the city, which were picked
up near single stalk of spring wheat ON
Mr.. Sinks farm. The inoculated bugs
were placed in the field on July 8, and
the insects are dying by the million, but
so late that, although the experiment has
proved to be q great success, the wheat
was so far gone before the inoculated
bugs were put in that but little of it can
be saved. The infected bugs were
brought from Kansas and the belief is
held by those interested in the expert
ment that it is a sure success if tried
early in the season. A box of bugs was
scooped up ut the base of wheat stalk,
and although it is but a small-sized cap
sule box, it contains hundreds of the
dead insects.
