A Llniputian Naval Battle.

The amusing experiment of a lilli.
putian naval battle can be made with
white chalk and the ordinary table
vinegar. Model, say dozen, chunks
of chalk to the resemblance of ships,
planning the bottoms evenly and using
matches Tor masts, smoke stacks, and
turrets. The rival forces you can
distinguish by coloring the enemy's
ships with black ink, leaving your
own white. Having placed them in
a pan or plate close to an imaginary
dividing line, pour good quantity
of vinegar between the chalk sticks.
Instantly you will hear an audible
seething like the Kissing OF shells in
actual warfare, while ships as II
putting steam will begin to move for
ward In slow evolutions, leaving be-
hind them streaks of foam such as
are observed in the wake of moving
vessels. When meeting at the dlvid-
ing line they will have attained quite
respectable speed, humping and
cutting together In the endeavor to
push one another farthest from the
dividing line. The engagement often
proves an exciting one. OF course
the side has won which has the larger
number OF ships nearest the center
after the ARRAY. The chemical solu-
ton OF this seeming mystery is quite
simple. Chalk, being largely carbon,
combines with the acid OF the vine
gar In carbonic acid-the same gases
that cause the effervescence OF most
mineral waters. The gases rise to
the surface Of the vinegar In small
bubbles of sufficient strength to
cause the current which turns the
chalk. Since the patriotic youth will
want to see the American boats win,
1t will be well for him to remember
that the best quality Of chalk con-
tains the largest proportion OF carbon.
1t will also prove of advantage to
plane the chalk carefully so as to per-
NIT IL to glide more smoothly

Selecting Seed.

In the selection of seed for plant
ing it is best to keep in mind the
thought that 'like produces like, ="
and so choose that which is large and
pc rfect in form. Experiments made
in England show that such large
grains of wheat as were obtained by
sitting sprouted sooner, grew more
rapidly, made more straw, and on an
average ten bushels per acre, than
did the small seed sifted out from the
same lot. The wheat was also much
heavier per bushel and made better
flour. This fact is of much conse-
quence to wheat growers and applies
with equal force to all kinds Of grain.
Farmers must see that II, by the
small amount OF labor of Sitting seed
wheat, they can secure an increase of
ten bushels of grain per acre, besides
a corresponding increase OF straw, it
is for their interest to govern them
selves accordingly. We must take
advantage of every circumstance and
condition that will aid in the increase
In quantity or value OF crops In
very many cases 1t is Just those APP
parently trifling matters that deter
mine the question of success or fail
ure upon the farm. Even trihing
matters must receive their proper
recognition. Exchange.

A FRIEND in NEED.

The old adage is that "A friend in
need is a friend indeed" This every
one will acknowledge who has tried
that sterling remedy, Reds GERMAN
CoUeH AND KIDNEY CURE. When
racked by violent cough or suffering
with terrible cold this great remedy
comes like a messenger Of peace with
healing on its wings 1t at once
stimulates the kidneys so that they
resume their normal functions; it aids
the lungs to throw of the surplus car
bonic acid; and 1t restores the circu-
lation to its accustomed vigor. When
this is done, but not until it is done,
will the system be restored and the
cold be banished. No one can take
even one dose OF this great remedy
without feeling the benefit. It acts
at once, and at the same time it is
perfectly harmless. 1t never under
any circumstances does harm. This
makes it the most invaluable Of cough
remedies. Get it OF any dealer.

A Talking Clock.

A clever person in st. Petersburg
has arranged and placed on exhibit
tion clock with photograph at
tachment that will repeat at an hour
set, according to the possessor's de-
sire, such orders for announcements
as may be committed to it. A con-
temporary rightly calls this a boon to
the tired housemother, and adds that
in the nursery the solemn time-piece
could be made to say, children, 1t is
time to get up; dress quickly" In
the kitchen, at an early hour, ii

eight sharp, Mary; don't forget.
And in the breakfast-room, "You
must start in ten minutes, or you
will lose your train" The dial OF
this clock of the future is, we are
told, a human face, from whose I'M

ment of the hours, as well as any

Poultry PiokIngs.

How ARE the lice fiourishing.
THE best breed for the farmer de-
ponds upon his market.
CoBwEBs in the poultry houses are
the draperies Of lazy man.
No PRACTICAL man can neglect
cleanliness, be he ever so busy.
GENERALLY, the hardness Of a
breed is determined by the care given.
DON'T overtax the hen by making
her hatch two clutches in succession.
HENS like milk, either sweet OF
sour. and it contains material for egg
production.
KEROSENE oil rightly applied to The
henery will send the mites to their
long home.
OVER fairness is one of the reasons
that are given for hens laying soft.
shelled eggs.
A DIET wholly of fat producing
foods is the worst a growing bird or
animal can have,
If size and hardness is desired in
the flock, breed from only the best
and most thrifty.
A GOOD layer and breeder may be
kept with profit for four years But
the ordinary are best sold early.
BUYING birds from the show room
for poultry farming is like selecting a
wife with your eyes shut. The
chances are against success.

burg as United States Minister, he
was one day visited by q tall, awk-
ward American, who. being requested
to state his business, Immediately
said that he particularly wanted to
see the Emperor.
He was assured that obtaining an
interview with the Emperor was no
easy task, but not being disposed to
take refusal, he was requested to
leave his name and return in about a
fortnight, when his application would
probably be considered and determ-
ined, and the result communicated to
him.
A week or so later, the American
Minister was surprised by a visit
from the tall American, and begin
ming to assure his visitor that an inter-
view with the Empeor could not be
obtained, the American responded
that he had already seen the EN-
peror, and had just called In at the
embassy for the purpose Of saying
"good-by," as he was on the point OF
leaving for home.
Mr.. Dallas was dumfounded and
inquired into the particulars, when
he found that the man actually had,
by nothing more than sheer force OF
impudence, succeeded In passing the
guards stationed about the palace and
seeing the Emperor.

the Yankee.

In wondering tone.
IAN acorn from Mount Vernon

toms tomb. The Emperor planted II

Strange as the story was it was
true, and the oak now growing in the
imperial gardens at st. Petersburg
sprang from the acorn carried thither
as present to the Emperor by the
long, awkward American.

Common Salt for Neuralgia

Take chloride of sodium finely
powered and perfectly dry, use as a
snuff in the nostril of the affected
side. The best results are obtained
when the salt is administered through
an insufflator. An insuffiator hold.
ing four or five grains is sufficient.
AS the powder is blown into the
nostril, ask the patient to inhale
through the nose, that the remedy
may be thoroughly distributed over
the membranes. The application
will produce but little pain or dis
comfort, and often single treatment
Will Immediately inhibit a neuralgia,
especially when it is recent and
located in enc branch Of the fifth
nerve. In other cases, where the
disease has been protracted and ex-
tensively distributed, the Insulation
may be repeated every one-half to
one minute for five to ten minutes.
This novel treatment has given sat-
isfaction many times, and may also
be used for odontalgia, cephalgia,
bronchial asthma, etc.

Homemade Oysters.

Years ago family lived on farm
In little country, where there was
no railroad, and the nearest city was
number of miles distant, says Har-
per's Young People. The father was
very fond OF oysters, and how do you
suppose he managed to have some al
ways @at hand?" He would drive to
the nearest city, buy a bushel of real
live" ones, and bring them back home
with him But that was not all.
They we're then carefully placed In
rows along the cellar floor, where 1t
was rather dark and cold and little
damp.
The most interesting part, how
ever, was to keep them alive. Every
little while some one would go down
cellar" and feed them by sprinkling
them with meal aud with water. One
of the little girls in the family, who
is now grown up, says she can remem-
Der how the oysters closed their
shells with a snap after they were
fed, but perhaps that was only in
her imagination. Anyway If they
happened to be forgotten for time
they would be found patiently wait
ing with their shells open ready to
receive their next meal.

Trap for Carpet Beetles

I recently found a simple way to
check the increase OF the buffalo
carpet beetle. This insect does It's
damage in the immature or larval
state, being then the ugly hairy worm
which most housekeepers call the
"carpet-bug." These hairy Larvae be-
come full-grown in this condition at
various times during the fall, winter,
and spring, and concealing themselves
in a crack or crevice change to what
is called the pupa or chrysalis state.
They are then quiescent, and take nc
food. They remain In 1t a short
time 1.-TWO or three weeks), and then
again change into small, dark-colored
beetles, less than quarter Of an
inch long, having on the back spots
and stripes of white and red.
These beetles fly out of the win
dOws In spring, and, as / have lately
noticed, flock in great numbers to the
early crocuses and tulips Of the gar
dens. They prefer, especially, the
light-colored varieties, being found
in a tulip-bed under observation al
most exclusively on the white and
yellow flowers. From this small bed,
containing less than four dozen tulips,
we gathered in week more than one
hundred beetles. The little creature:
seek the flowers to feed on the pollen,
and are easily seen and destroyed
This offers simple method of check
ing increase of a vexatious pest, anG
is a measure which city and village
housekeepers cannot afford to neglect

A New Trick.

A Partisan sharper has developed a
new form of swindling. He stops al
an hotel and registers his name,
which strangely happens to be the
same as that Of the proprietor Of the
house. This is so remarkable that
the guest and the host have friend
ly chat about it. The guest requests
him to pay special attention to the
letters that come for him, which are
daily handed to the guests "valet.
Two or three packages come, and the
wallet" takes them also. Then a
small package, neat-looking and EVIL
IDENTIFY valuable, arrives. When the
valet" gets this, he and his master
are seen no more. The next meeting
is between the hotel proprietor and a
jeweler, who presents his bill for
jewelry furnished to the value Of
say twenty thousand francs.
