Smoke is almost as great an enemy of the
fireman as fire, and many efforts have been
made to devise a plan whereby men may
penetrate into a burning building through
the densest smoke or fumes.
w. E. Merryman, a veteran member OF
the Denver fire department, thinks that an
apparatus recently invented by him salts,
factorily solves the problem.
Mr.. Merryman's device consists of a rub
Der mask, which completely envelopes
the face of the fireman. This mask is con
nected with an air accumulation on the end
of the nozzle by means of two pipes. One
pipe supplies the air while the other car
ries off, by means Of a vacuum that from

Want to Know ABOUT the cram,

A telegram has been received from the
Newport News ship building company
asking about the working of the electric
crane IN the Cheyenne shops. This crane
costs $2S 900 and naturally an investiga-
ton Is made before it is ordered for any
new shop. 1t has worked like a charm
here and the manner in which it handles
the 100 ton locomotives is a sight worth
witnessing.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.


The Departmental Agriculture has
issued its Farmers Bulletin, No. Z,
which treats of the subject OF spray
ing, the substances employed, the
means used for the destruction OF In
furious insects and diseases. The
matter Is presented In a thoroughly
practical manner and Is OF especial
interest to the orchardist and fruit
grower. This subject is also treated
OF from hyglenic standpoint for the
purpose OF meeting some OF the-ob-
jectlons that are raised in foreign
countries against using fruits that
has been grown In the United States.
But after careful review Of the sub
ject and the study of various authori-
ties, the conclusion arrived at is that
no harm can come from the use OF
fruits sprayed with copper mixture
as directed, and that only a small
proportion of copper is used In spray
ing fruits in this country when COM
pared with the greening Of vegetables
in France, which are imported into
England in large quantities. hFor the
better instruction OF farmers we re-
commend them to procure and read
this bulletin.

The authors OF BLESSED BE Drudg-
cry, and Other Papers" relate touch
ing little story OF how sympathy and
affection sprang up In an unexpected
place.
A workman in a pottery factory
had one small invalid child at home
He wrought at his trade with exem-
plary fidelity, being always In the,
shop with the opening Of the day.
Every night he carried to the bedside
of his "wee lad" as he called him, a
flower, bit of ribbon, or fragment
of crimson gass-something that
would lie out on the white counter
pane and give color to the room.
He was a quiet, unsentimental
man, and said nothing to any one
about his affection for his boy. He
simply went on loving him, and soon
the whole shop was brought into the
half-conscious fellowship with him.
The workmel made curious little
jars and cups, and painted diminu-
tive pictures upon their sides before
they stuck them in the corners of the
kiln at burning time. One brought
him some fruit and another few en-
cravings in a rude scrapbook. Not
one Of them whispered word; this
solemn thing was not to be talked
about.
They put the gifts in the old mans
hat, where he found them; he under
stood all about it.
Little by little all the men, OF
rather coarse fiber by nature, grew
gentle and kind, and some dropped
swearing as the weary. look on their,
patient fellow-worker's face told them
beyond mistake that the inevitable
shadow was drawing near. Every
day some one did piece of work for
him and put it on the sanded bank to
dry, so that he might come later and
go earlier.
So when the bell tolled and the lit
tie coffin came out OF the lonely door,
a hundred stalwart workingmen from
the pottery, all In their clean clothes,
stood just round the corner. Most OF
them had given a half-day's time for
the privilege Of following to the grave
that small burden of a child, though
probably not one Of them had ever
seen him.

How the Mouiiks Get Drunk.

Mouiiks are curious when drunk.
They hardly ever quarrel, but become
affectionate and embrace each other.
Their idea of drinking is to imbibe until
they are quite insensible. When was
in Russia / had coachman who once
month used to come and ask me Dor
leave to get drunk during two con-
secutive days. Upon inquiry L found
that only on these conditions would a
coachman remain sober during the rest
of the month. Having obtained leave,
he would go to a drinking house, show
the proprietor his money, and state how
long he might remain there. Then he
would sit down at table with some
spirits before him. Gradually and
solemnly he would get drunk, place his
arms before him on the table, and re-
cline ON them. Thus. he would remain
for two days and nights, the proprietor
supplying him with more drink when
ever he looked up. His time up, the
proprietor would drag him outside thu
house and set him down in the snow
against the wall, having first filed his
cap'with snow. Every charitably dis
posed brother coachman passing by
would box his ears. In shout half an
hour this discipline would sober him,
he would get up, shake himself together,
and resume his duties. One mans
poison h another mans meat, and so
suppose that he enjoyed himself

Root Grated Apple Trees.

The preference Of nurserymen for
root-grafted apple trees comes from
the fact that by taking very small
pieces of roots they can multiply
stocks of new varieties much more
rapidly than they can by top-grafting
where young tree, however large,
makes when grated only a single
stock. Root grating is also largely
done in winter or at other times when
outdoor work is impossible. The
young natural Seeding makes
usually large growth the first year
or two. Here the advantages OF top
grating end. The root-grafted tree,
from the fact that its roots are more
compact, bears transplanting better,
and in a few years the variety is on
roots of its own, so as to insure a
symmetrical growth OF the tree above
ground. Old top-grafted trees usually
show where the union was made by
larger growth either above or below
it, and If the top is less vigorous the
trunk below is filled with suckers
produced by sap for which there is no
other outlet.

Tn. biggest Guns Have Failed.

The heaviest modern ordnance, the
English 11O-ton gun, has failed to
fulfill It's initial or experimental
promises in more serious handling or
application, for reasons now undergo
ing careful investigation. With a
charge of nearly /, 900 pounds best pris-
matte gunpowder and a cylindrical
steel shot of the enormous weight OF
1900 pounds, it was found at the
final test that this prodigious shot
penetrated entirely through COM
pressed armor-ste el-faced iron-oi
twenty inches thickness, then through
an iron backing some five inches
thick, after which 1t pierced wholly
through twenty foot Of oak, five feet
of granite, eleven feet Of hard con-
crete, and three feet into a brick
wall. 1t was concluded, of course,
that no existing fortress, much less
armored vessel, could Withstand such
a shot, but the difficulty of sea han
ding has proven so formidable q fac
tor that the most sanguine expecta-
tions as to the efficiency Of such vast
ordnance in practical service seem
doomed to disappointment. = New

An Imnroved Horseshoe.

The London General Omnibus COM
nany Is about to make a thorough
trial of an improved horseshoe, which
is. said to have been subjected to se-
we're tests on the European Continent
with very satisfactory results. The
idea. which is the invention Of a
Frenchman named Pigot, Is a very
simple one, consisting merely OF the
afixing to the underpart Of the shoe
of two strips of cork, one on each
side. "The cork strips" says a print
ed description, ~are held in position
by two very thin sheet-iron plates
firmly fastened together by r1vet.
The outer edges of these plates are
slipped between the shoe and the
hoof. The inner edges are turned up
wards, forming flanges, between
which and the inner edge OF
the shoe the cork blocks are tightly
fixed. Between these flanges Is fitted
a screwed bolt with nuts at either
end, so that when the nuts are tight
ly screwed against the flanges the
whole is perfectly immovable. In
order to hold the cork still firmer In
position the corners of the fianges are
turned down over 1t, thus forming a
couple of sockets, into which the cork,
which at first sight slightly projects
over the surface Of the shoe, is
jammed and compressed more firmly
every day by the weight of the horse.
These shoes are said to enable the
horse to obtain such grip upon a
slippery surface that slipping is al
most impossible and straininS Is
greatly diminished. The Brussels
Tramway company, after trying them
for six months, has adopted them fol
general use. The extra expense Il
estimated at $3.50 year for each
horse, against which must be put 8

Berry Boxing for protectors.

Take material such as berry boxes
are made of, and cut it Okla. Wrap
it around the tree and secure 1t by
simply twisting small wire about it
near the top and pressing the lower
end little below the surface Of the
soil. These protectors serve every
purpose desired, keeping out borers,
rabbits and mice, and protecting the
young tree from the severe heat OF
the sun until the top has grown suffi-
GENTLY to afford this protection.
They will last two or three years and
can be quickly renewed as they cost
only SO per thousand at the factory,
thus making them very economical.
They are left on the trees summer
and winter, and so far as 1 know
have never damaged the tree, as some
have feared -Orange7Judd Farmer.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.
Barn Philosophy.

For twenty-five years and more
have / been billed at the same
place, at the same hour, and
every day in the week, Sunday
not excepted, to discourse farm
economy and animal industry in a
practical way. My lecture hall, says
T. L., in the Stockman, is invariably
at my own barn, among our horses,
cattle, sheep and swine. That is the
proper place in my mind for the
farmer to learn the most about the
farm and the farm animals. l keep
no hired men but feed all the stock
myself, and in that way l can save
the wages of a man in feed and have
the satisfaction of seeing my stock in
good condition. In Bill Nye's inter-
view with John l.. Sullivan the ques-
tion was asked: "Did you ever have
twin thoughts born to you and you
be puzzled to know which one to
adopt, or whether it would not be a
good plan to bring one of EN- up on a
bottle and try letting the Other
out to double in three years?" Now,
while l would not think of asking
such question, / will just put few
pertinent ones. Do you cut YOU
cornstalks for your horses? From
thirty to fifty per cent. is saved b.
cutting. Do you keep a salt box TO
your horses to help themselves a
their own good time, and separate
box for the cows, the sheep, and ;
bunch of salt in the hog pen? Fo
the horses and hogs so per cent. o
leached ashes should be used. W.
used to have sick horses, sick cows
and sick hogs before we adopted tn
salt box system, but have never beef
troubled in that way since, and be
sides, we have learned that cows IL
milk will make 80 per cent. more but
ter when they have a free run to tn

of settlers who helped to build the
fort on Apple River, which was after
wards attacked by the Indians 1t

end and making stockade twelve
feet high. The wagons and goods
of the settlers families were taken
inside, and there gathered the men,
women, and children when the news
reached them of the advance Of Black
Hawk and his bloodthirsty warriors.
The whites did not have long to walt.
Three hundred and fifty braves in
full war-paint suddenly appeared on
the crest of the prairie. After three
hours of hard fighting the Indians
were repulsed by the sharp and un-
erring fire from the settlers rifles,
taking their dead with them. One
of the whites, Haskell Rhodes, was
killed, and two were wounded. Dur
ing the seige Mrs. Lawhorn and other
women nodded bullets and helped
the men TO load their rifles. AS the
Indians drew of the settlers sailed
