NATIONAL AGRlCULTURE.

Difficulties Attendant Upon Running New
 Experiment Stations.
 The lack of suitable men has not been the only drawback to the work of the younger stations Two clauses in the act passed by congress allowing only three thousand dollars of the first and seven hundred and fifty dollars of each succeeding appropriation to be used for buildings, and requiring that from the very first at least four bulletins a year be issued, while ultimately it may prove of advantage to them, has cer- tainly tended at first to bring them no praise. It was supposed that the states would furnish buildings, but unfor- tunately some of them furnished made Quate ones or none at all, and in one or two instances even the annual appro- priation which the state had previously given to the agricultural college was abolished The fact that quarterly bulletins were required by law, whether the station had valuable matter on hand or not, coupled with the fact that In many instances men wholly new to the business had to write them, tended at first to distribute more or less matter of questionable value. AS the bulletins have general circulation among the class for which they were intended only in the state in which they were issued, many states necessarily sent out some compi- lations on the same topics which, to all practical purposes, were duplicates of each other. Bulletins, too, had to be written in popular style, in order that they might be understood by men whose education, in too many instances, had been limited to the winter district school. If it be also remembered that these newly formed stations have been 1 organized scarcely three years and have not been in working order for ! tAatlength of time; that they arc going through the same trials as the older stations have had; that they have to
 break down the prejudices of many far mers, as the older stations have largely
 done; and that they were popularly ex- pected to show in few months results equal to which even the German eNper- l iment stations have conquered only af- ter years of strict application with the aid of the best of the scientists of that scientific nation-it cannot be wonder ed at that these new born stations have
 in several instances fallen short of what
 was expected of them.-Prof. Charles L. Parsons, in Popular Science Monthly, I

Zig Model of a Honey-Bee.

The model of a honey bee, measuring
four and a half feet from sucker to
sting and six feet across the wings, has
been received from Paris by the bio
logical department of the university of
Pennsylvania. 1t is intended for the
instruction of the students. The insect
is perfectly articulated, and the wings,
head, thoraX, and abdomen can be
taken apart with the fingers. Moreover,
the head may be opened SO as to dis
play the brain within. Every organ,
artery, sincw and tissue has been deli
cately reproduced, and the bee is to be
dissected at lectures by Prof. Charles S.
Dolley for the information of the stu
dents. A huge snail and leech, each
about three feet long, have also been
added to the biological department.
Emile Dcyrolle is the maker of these
singular models.

There was great deal of interest
felt among dentists some years ago
when one of the royal mummies taken
from the Egyptian catacOmbs was found
to be fitted out with an upper set Of
artificial teeth. The plate was of wood
carved to fit the roof of the mouth, and
the teeth were of brass, the natural
shape of the tooth being quite closely
initiated. 1t shows that some one of
the Pharaohs felt the loss of his in
cisors and grinders and had the court
doctor do the best that could be done
for him. Before this discovery it was
commonly supposed that artificial
teeth were modern continuance, but
false teeth in ancient Egypt furnish
convincing proof that there is nothing
new under the sun.

Peasants Who Wanted to Guard .Aeains t

Nothing of interest happened to us
until late in the evening, when, just as
as we were turning up from the river
into small peasant villages, the name
of which have now forgotten, both we
and our horses were startled by the sud-
den appearance of a Withholding man,
in a long, battered sheepsl1in coat, who,
from the shelter of projecting cliff,
sprang into the road ahead of US; shout

cts the plague-guard," he replied.
''IIe says we must be smoked
The cattle-plague was then prevailing
extensively in the valley of the upper
Yenisei, and it appeared that around
this village the peasants had established
Il sanitary Gordon with the hope Of pro-
tecting their own live stock from con-
tagion. They had heard of the virtues
of fumigation, and were subjecting to
that process every vehicle that passed
the village limits. The ''plague-guard''
burned straw, birch-barl1 and other in
flammable and smoke-producing sub
stances around and under our pavoska
until we were half-strangled and our
horses were frantic with fear, and then
he told us gravely that we were ''puri-
fed" and might proceed.

How serpents Move.

King Solomon acknowledged that
there were three things which are too
wonderful for me-yea, four, which
know not" and one of these was 1.-THE
way of a serpent upon a rock" For
hundreds of years after the time of
Solomon the snakes mode of pro-
gression remained a mystery. Latter
day men of science have learned that
his snakcship's ribs furnish him with a
means of progression. So, instead Of
having pair or two pairs of feet"
they really have from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred pairs. Aristotle
thought that serpents had as many ribs
as there are days IN a month, but had
he examined a python he would have
readily detected his mistake, that
species having four hundred. Snakes
move in this way: Each vertebra sup
ports pair of ribs, which act like a
pair of legs, the eXtremitics being con-
nected by broad plate. The hind part
of this plate is free, and when the ribs
are moved forward that end is raised, so
that it takes hold Of the surface under
meath, even though it be glass, the
strengthening of the reptile propelling

THE DOGS OF WAR.
CANNES Employed as Life-Savers in t
German Army.


German Army.
In Franco, Italy, Germany and Aus
tria, as we'll as in Bosnia and Uerze-
govina, the value of war dogs has been
fully tested, and the idea has answe red
exccllcntly with the outposts as well as
with the patrol. But to the German
army belongs the merit of having made
use of the dogs sagacity for humane
purposes in times of war, and it is prob
able that before long number of fresh
canine recruits will be permanently at
tached to the German regiments, their
office being to search for the wounded,
says the Army and Navy Gazette.
The Prussian jaeger battalions have
already Il number of such dogs on trial,
all of them being thoroughly trained to
seek out wounded soldiers in the field.
The experiments so far have been car
ricd out, my informant says, as follows:
y number of men hide in a wood, or
behind hedges, lying on the ground face
downward, and with orders not to
move. AS soon as the dogs are let loose
they begin the search. When they find
one of these men they place their fore
paws upon the PROSTATE body and be-
gin to bark, an exercise which is con-
tinued till the bearers appear and carry
the man off, whereupOn the dogs start
afrcsh. Each company of the Lubben
jaeger has about twelve of these dogs.
Hunting dogs cannot be relied upon
on account of their love of the chase,
and therefore sheepdogs or Pomeranian
spitzhundc are chosen for the work.

No Likelihood OF Peaceful Negotiations
Between Fonseca and Grande do Sui.
MoNTEv1DEo, Nov. 19.-It appears
that very little ontidenfe is placed by
the Provisional government forces Of
Rio Grande do Sui in the favorable
result of any negotiations pending with
Da Fonseca, as the troops of the Pro-
visional government are actively en-
gagged in strengthening Rio Grande do
Sui to resist an expected attack of Da
Fonseca's forces.
The Fonseca government is also evil
IDENTIFY apprehensive of trouble in the
Province of Santa Catharina, and a
body of soldiers has been sent there by
sea.
The troops will be stationed at Des-
terro, the capital, where they will be
prepared for any disturbance in Santa
Catharina itself, or can be readily used
in an attack on the opposition forces
in the adjoining province of Rio Grande
do Sui.
One rumor is to the effect that Fon-
SEGA apprehends q sudden descent by
sea by the naval force of the opposition
on Desterro, which, from it's exposed
situation might easily be captured in
that way, especially as the forts defend
ing Desterro have but small garrison.
Latest advices from Rio Grande do Sui,
Brazil, say that additional towns in the
State have gone over to the side of the
Provisional Junta. Among them are
Santinoel, San Lins, Parana and Cru
zalta.
The enlistment of infantry and cav.
| airy among the people of Porto Allegro,
the capital of Rio Grande do Sui, is &C
lively carried on.

Felipe, SO well known to foreign sight
seers, threatens to totally collapse.
Saragossa, or, more properly, Zaragoza,
was formerly capital of the kingdom of
Aragon and is famous in the legendary
history of Saracen Spain. 1t lies at
height of 600 feet above the sea level on
n rich plain on the right bank of the
Ebro, just above it's confluence with the
Huerva, 212 miles by rail to the north
east of Madrid. The river is crossed by
a fine stone bridge of seven arches. The
older streets are narrow, gloomy and i'll
paved. The massive buildings, former
ly inhabited by the Aragonese nobility,
are either in ruins or turned into wood
stores and granaries, and an air of
poverty and decay pervadcs the whole
town. Adjoining the old church of San
Felipe is the Tore Nuena, or Felipe
tower. 1t is an octangular clock tower
in diapercd brick work. The tower
was originally constructed by unknown
architects in 1904. 1t leans nine feet
and ten inches from the perpendicular,
owing to the faulty foundations. For
several centuries it has retained it's
same position and is n marvel to all
European tourists.

THE Des Moines Registers analysis of
the vote of Iowa in the last election, with
reference to the question of prohibition.
shows that the revolution of sentiment
in the state since the amendment re-
ceived 30, 900 majority in 1882, has been
as complete as such changes usually
are. While only % counties i'll 1882
voted against prohibition, 80 counties
this year supported the anti-prohibition
candidate. The change of opinion,
however, is made much more manifest
by the fact that 10 populous counties,
which in 1882 gave majorities for prohi-
bition. gave pluralities for Boies in
1891, showing an aggregate change of
nearly 10000 votes on this issue. Only
nine of the 66 counties gave increased
majorities for prohibition, and many of
these nine counties are In tn north
western part of the state, where the
saloon issue is less pressing than it is in
the more populous counties along the
Mississippi river.

A FINANCIER'S ADVICE.
Suggestions for Young Men Who Wish to
Succeed,

Suggestions for Young Men Who Wish to
Succeed.
The boy who is wanted in the bust
ness world of to-day must be educated,
says Russell Sage in an admirable ar
ticle on 1.-THE Boy That is Wanted" in
November Ladies' Home Journal If
his parents cannot afford to give him a
high-school or college education, he
must learn to study without the aid of
a teacher, in the early morning before
business begins, and in the evenings
after business hours. 1t can no longer
be truthfully said that an education is
out of anyone's reach. Our splendid
school system, where one can study by
day or in the evening, has put the
priceless treasure of an education
within the reach of all. The main
thing, in the beginning, that 1 would
impress upon boys is one of the great
amendments: "Honor thy father
and thy mother, that thy days may be
long in the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee" The boy who re-
spects his father and mother, who
treats his sisters and brothers with low
ing kindness, has laid good founda-
ton for a successful career. You will
do as your parents tell you, and that
certainly will be to study. Don't be in
a hurry to get away from your school
books. The cares and responsibilities
of business life will come soon enough.
Go to school as long as you can, and,
remember, every hour spent in study in
yonr youth will be worth money to you
in after life. Read good books-the
Bible above all. Make yourself ac-
quainted with history. Study the prog
ress of nations and the careers of men
who have made nations great. If you
have no library of your own, join one of
the numerous associations to be found
in all cities where good healthful
| books may be obtained. Study reli-
gion, science, statecraft and history.
Learn to read intelligently, SO that you
may turn to practical use in after life
the readings of your youth. Be sure
you begin right. Do not waste time in
reading trashy books.

SENATOR sHERMAN's CHANCES.
His Friends More Confident Than Ever
of His Reelection.

MS frlenuS more comment IMAM Ever
of His Recollection.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. Advocates of
the reelection of Senator John Sher-
man are more confident than ever of the
veteran statesman's return to the
Senate.
The news that DIR. Chauncey NJ De.
pew had in his speech at the banquet of
the New York Chamber of Commerce,
spoken in Senator Sherman's behalf,
when taken in connection with the ut
terances of Secretary Foster, has caused
much qualification.
1t is claimed by many leading Obi o
Republicans that their party woul d
stultify itself by rejecting Senator She r
man and sending ex Gov. Foraker to
Washington. The consensus of opin-
ion is that Senator Sherman's dis
tinguished services to the party and to
the nation will have such weight with
the Legislature that his collection is a
+king assured.
Takes 900 people to buy DIR Sage's
catarrh remedy, at 80 cents a bott e, to
make up $500. One failure to cure
would take the profit from 1000 sales.
Its makers profess to cure "cold in the
head" and even chronic catarrh, and if
they fail, to pay $500 for their over con.
| fdence.
Not in newspaper words but in hard
| cash Think of what confidence il
takes to put that in the papers-and
mean it.
It's makers believe in the remedy
Isn't it worth a trial? Isn't any trial
preferable to catarrh?
After all, the mild agencies are the best
Perhaps they work more slowly, but
they work surely. DIR Pierces pleasant
pellets are an active agency, but quiet
and mild. They're ugar coated, easy
to take, never shock or derange the sys
tenn and half their power is the milo

THE homestead law of Texas some
times acts harshly for creditors. A let
ter from Austin says that a cattleman
failed short time ago and the creditors
took possession of the property subject
to attachment. The mans family live
in house for which they have been
offered 1000. The price asked is
$75, 900. This is made possible by the
peculiar homestead exemption law of
Texas. The homestead cannot be taken
for debt. And the homestead is defined
to be piece of ground costing not
more than $1,000 and whatever inn
provements there may be thereon. In
this case the residence is the finest in
the city where it is located. 1t is one of
the finest in Texas. 1t cost more than
$4,000, but it is entirely out of reach of
the creditors of the estate. 1t is there
fore easy for man in Texas to tie up a
fortune i'll his homestead.
