Many inquiries come asking how 70

When Snake Poison Is Harmless 8.

Nature seems to have provided that no
poison which acts externally shall have
any effect internally, and vice versa.
Thus the most deadly snake venom can
be swallowed with imprnity, the juice
of the stomach presumably decomposing
it and rendering it harmless. Many ex-
periments have been made to prove this.
On one occasion recorded by Humboldt
one person swallowed the whole of the
poison that could be obtained from four
Italian vipers without suffering any bad
consequences. In the same way the
poison from the envenomed arrows of
South American Indians can be swal-
lowed with safety, provided only that
there is no wound on the lips or inside
OF the mouth. Washington Post

THE POTATO ROT.

The potato rot fungus attacks both the
foliage and the tuber of the plants, caus-
ing in the one case what is called blight
of the vines and in the other what is best
known as potato rot. The first appear
ance on the leaves is seen in yellow spots
and powdery substance on their sur
face. These spots soon turn brown, and
finally the whole plant becomes infected
and dies.
II the leaf spines come in contact with
the tubers, or if the fungus reaches them
through the stems, rotting of the tubers
ensues, provided there is a continuance
of warm, moist weather, which seems to
be condition attending the prevalence
of. the disease. In seasons when the at
mosphere is cool the tops are not at
tackled, and if the soil remains cool the
tubers will often escape when the tops
are destroyed.
Unfavorable climatic conditions of
course cannot be prevented, but it should
be remembered that a loose, light soil
does not promote the decay like one
in which water is held and the air enters
with difficulty. Deeply planted potatoes
may escape, while tubers lightly covered
may more readily contract the disease
from the vines. AS rule potatoes should
be dug as soon as the vines show that
they have been struck by the rot.
AS an applied preventive, some OF the
experiment stations have reported favor
ably on spraying the vines three or foul
times with the Bordeaux mixture. Used
at half strength and with Paris green, be
ginning with the appearance of the po-
tato bug, it may be made to serve two
purposes. Early planting and early har-
vesting are also in the line of safety
against the potato rot. New York

GEESE FOR PROFIT.

The two kinds of geese most largely
kept where there is an eye to the profits
are the EmbGen and Toulouse. The
plumage of the Embden is pure white,
and many persons claim it is the more
profitable variety to keep, because the
feathers bring better price than those
of the Toulouse or gray goose. Others
prefer the Toulouse, because it will at
tain u heavier weight than the Embden
and seems to be handsomer and better
formed bird. An additional advantage
is that where the grass run is good the
Toulouse can be kept with a water
trough only, while Embdens do not
thrive as well as with pond. Good
pasturage is necessary. for geese are big
eaters. With this aud good pond,
keeping geese ought to pay without
much trouble.
AS many as four geese may be allowed
to one gander, but three is a better num-
ber. Toulouse geese will lay about
thirteen eggs. While sitting all that is
necessary is to leave them free to go out
of their house to get food and water.
A goose sits about thirty days. The
young ones can be left in the nest
twenty four hours without feeding; then
they should be taken out and fed on
plenty of green grass and given water,
with little oatmeal in it.
The hot, dry weather of midsummer
is hard an young geese, because it dries
up the grass aud water. \ few oats to
them every day will help keep them
thriving during this time. The young
eoslings require to be kept warm and
dry, and should not be allowed to swim
for at least fortnight. The goose
should not be eooped up for that length
Of time, or she may rush the goshugs
around too much Connecticut Faraer.

Tea roses are always pretty, and their
delicacy in coloring, shape, and fra,
GRANGE does not seem to extend to their
growth, for they give almost always
good results. The Bonsilene is one OF
the most most popular of all roses, its
buds being particularly beautiful. The
La France, another favorite, is often
classed among the tea roses. 1t has
pink petals shaded off to very light,
and sometimes white, color at the edge.
Not only are its close buds beautiful,
but the flower in full bloom is one of the
prettlest of the pink roses. The Som
breuil is creamy white, often tinged with
pink, and is frequent bloomer. The

ROOTS For YOUNG HORSES.

Boots should be used in driving and
breaking young horses, even though
they are open-gaited and do not strike.
Colts are looking everywhere but where
they step, and sometimes get their feet
mixed. In such case they may hit a
cord or tendon, which is apt to dlsaable
them for weeks or months, and some
times for life. Charles Marvin, who for
merly trained the Palo Alto colts for
Senator Stanford of California, always
booted the youngsters thoroughly when
they took their work. Boots are not to
keep horse from interfering, but to
protect him when he strikes himself.

What Is a "Texas2"

"Very few people know the origin of
the word texas, as applied to certain
part of steamboat" said an old river
captain at the Laclede last night. Gan
modern boats don't have the texas,
though it was an essential of the old
system in the halcyon days of steam
boating. The texas, you know, is that
apartment of the upper deck just be-
meath the pilothouse where the crew
shifts sleep. The word was first applied
in the troublous times of the '30s and
'40s, when Texas was first fighting for
liberation from the despotic rule of
Mexico, and afterward when the United
States was plunged into war with the
Aztecs to maintain the rights the brave
Texans had wrung from Santa Ana. Re-
cruits from the United States were car
ried down the Mississippi to New
Orleans, and thence across the Gulf to
Texas to help the Lone Star men in their
war. The boats that took them down
the river were the first to construct the
apaI tment for the crew, and that sup
ports the pilothouse. This innovation
in boat building made it possible for
travellers to peer through the little
windows from an elevation that enabled
them to see greater scope OF country on
both banks than they had before been
accustomed to sweep with their vision.
The innovation coming on just at the
time that Texas was causing such a COM
motion all over the world, passengers
and boatmen with one accord always re-
ferred to the apartment as the texas.
The name has stuck to it ever since, and
is about as good as any other, though |
often hear people wonder at its origin"

have always been prejudiced against the
use of patent medicines IA failure peculiar to
the members of my profession, but here
was a preparation discovered by an old and
scientific physician whose wide experience,
extending over many years, had given him
exceptional advantages for treating diseas,
successfully. Was it not, then, possible that
he had found cure where Others had faile /?
i determined to test the matter,
Shortly after arriving at this conclusion a
young man came to consult me who had
been great sufferer from Kidney and
Liver troubles for many years. He had
been treated by n number of our lea lin,
physicians without obtaining any relief, AMI
came to me as a last resort though with very
little faith in my ability to effect cure.
prescribed DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for
him, and after taking the first bottle his
condition was materially improved. He
continued the treatment until he had used
three bottles when he was entirely cured anl
to-day he is the picture of robust health an
vitality. Since then | hive prescribe
Swamp Root for number of my patients,
and always with the most gratifying results,
and now I believe it to be the best re nedy
for all Kidney, Liver and Bla ider COM
plants, both chronic or acute, known to the
world, il not an actual specific.
With DIR. Kilmer's U. & o. Anointment
have cured the most stubborn case of
hemorrhoids, or piles, of ten years standing
which had been pronounced incurable after
all the approved remedies hal been triei
without avail.
1t is needless to add that experience has
confirmed my entire confidence i'll DR.. Xii
mer's preparations, which | frequently pre-
scribe for my patients AMI invariably with
the happest results therefore it affords me
great pleasure to most cordially recomm ,ni
them to suffering hum unity and to the msii-
cal profession, as | feel surs they will ac-
complish all an even more than is claimed
for them in every instance.

A GOOD POLISHING POWDER

One of the best polishing powders
that were ever used in my kitchen, writes
a housewife, discovered quite by acci-
dent. The range was being cleaned out,
and in the fue under the oven there was
quantity of gray dust, sort of smoke
deposit, as fine as flour, that was taken
out with a large spoon. In washing the
spoon it was noticed that a mysterious
brilliancy was acquired, and the credit
for this was quickly given to the smoke
dust. Since then we have always used il
for polishing tinware.-New York
