A BARREN PLATEAU.
An Asiatic 1nbleiand over Two Mile
Above tho Sea.


1t is not often that we are led to think
how thin the shell of air in which we
live really is, and how close above our
heads lie the borders of the vast abyss
of space in which if we ventured we
should perish like fish thrown out of
water
1t is true that when we climb lofty
mountain we are impressed by the COM
parative lifelessness of its peaks, but
then one naturally expects an effect of
that kind from the barren aspect of all
rocky eminences. 1t is different with u
high, broad tableland, covered with
soil, and lying in full sunshine above
many of the clouds that darlsen the
lower earth In such land, we are
apt to think, it must be very pleasant
to dwell.
But, as n matter off fact, these ele-
waited regions present most convincing
proofs of the life-destroying effects of
the thiuness of the air at height of
two or three miles above the general
surface of the earth. One of the best
instances of this has been brought to
light through the explorations of trav-
elers on the great Asiatic tHbleland on
which the oriental imagination has be-
slowed such names as ''the Roof Of the
World" and 'the Halfway House to
Heaven"
Marco Polo was informed, and many
people since his time have believed, that
this tableland whose area may be
about three times that of the state of
Massachusetts, was a brilliant land of
sunshine and rich pastures,
But recent travellers who have as
cended to it, and crossed it, inform us
that the plateau, whose mean elevation
above the sea is not less than twelve
thousand feet, is IA barren waste, rough.
ened with hills and mountains which
are coated with ice, swept and pinched
by bitter w inds and frosts, and so lack
ing in the ability to support even the
I harder forms of vegetable life that it
cannot feed the caravans that cross it.
1t possesses some isolated oases where
life clings to the soil.
This barren condition of the p!eateau
is owing to the fact that it lies about
| two miles and half above sea level
| What a striking sense of the closeness
of our confinement to the surface of the
earth is furnished by fact like that!--

PIGS AND DAIRYlNG.

Some Points to BE Considered Before
Giving Up in Disgust.
In many localities, says the Amer.
lean Dairymau, the profits of the dairy
can be considerably augmented by
keeping pigs The custom of keeping
them for this purpose has whatever
merit may attach to age. 1t has been
followed for many generations. But it
has not always yielded the returns de.
sired. There has been u great deal OF
complaint that in cold weather the pigs
would neither grow nor take on flesh
as they should do. OF late, since the
tide as turned toward winter dairying
the assertion that it does not pay to
keep pigs is heard more frequently,
and is made with more than the old
time emphasis. That many pigs are
kept in winter without profit. and that
some cause their owners an actual loss,
cannot be denied. But it is highly
probable that if these pigs were kept
in really comfortable quarters in which
their food would not freeze and they
would not be cold, were given meal
with the milk so as to furnish nitro
genous and carbonaceous food in suita-
BILE proportions, and were cared for as
carefully as other classes of live stock,
they would grow so fast and take on
flesh so rapidly as to make them among
the most profitable animals on the
farm

The London " omnn's Polltical Life.

One reason why so few women who
believe in the political equality of the
sexes have made little headway is the
general apathy of their own sex, When
one first sees something of the political
work done by women in London, one
thinks it must be but matter of days
before they are put on the same footing
as men in all branches of political life.
But it does not take long to discover
that these women-workers are in de-
cided minority, that, even in their own
ranks, many, while they would work
themselves to death to secure the vic
tory of liberals or tories, would fight as
hard against their own emancipation,
and that the great majority of women
in London have absolutely no syrnpa-
thies one way or the other but are in a
state of complete and, for them, happy
indifference. Elizabeth Robins PEN
nell, in Chautauquan.

road enters and passes directly toward
the rear of the farm. At convenient
distance, anywhere between two rods
and twenty, the dwelling is situated,
but to prevent rough loads from going
too near it, curve is made which
leaves a sort of island in front of the
house, the loads of manure passing
straight on and the carriages with pas
sengers turning up to the dwelling.
The 'island" is planted partly with
evergreens, which obscure the heavy
loads as they pass the house. The

1t has been proposed lately to orna-

regular army OF the United States with
n representation in metal of the bald
eagle, which is the emblem of our re-
public. The staff of rcgimcntal stand

and particularly those of Rome aud

"hald," or white-hcaded eagle.
The ordinary name Of the bird is n

whitcheadcd. the feathers on the head
and neck OF adult specimens being

The honor of first naming this bird
as tho cmblcm of the United States be-
longs to John j. Audubon, the natur-
Mist, whose name will be forever nsso-
cutcd with our bird life. He called
the bald eagle the washington eagle"
because, he said, "Washington was
lravc, MS the eagle is. Like it, too, he
was the terror of his enemies, and his
fame, extending from pole to pole, re-
scmblrs the soarings OF the mighticst
of the fcathcred tribe. If America has
reason to be proud of her Washington,
SO has she to bc proud of her great

1t is not difficult to cause a. flock to
cease laying, if they are fed on certain
foods that will not benefit them in any
manner. Recently, on farm where II
large number of hens are kept, and
which were producing eggs regularly,
the production suddenly ceased. 1t
was quite awhile before Il solution of
the problem was found. 1t appears
that during "hog-killing time" the
hens were regaled with many choice
pieces of fat meat, and with quite u
large amount of waste that was sup
posed to be suitable for the hens; they
were given at times all they would eat,
the result being that the hens were
oversupplied with carbonaceous food,
became fat, and reproduction ceased.
Lean meat is excellent for producing
eggs, but fat meat should never be fed
to laying hens. Farm and FreSid&

which reside upon them, and can de-
vote some spare means to their i'm
