CURIOUS SPECIMENS OF PIPES.
Odd Ways in Which All Glasses of People
Know How to Make TheI~

Odd Ways in Which All Glasses of People
Know How to Make Their
A long and slender stemmed pipe was
brought from Central Africa somU years
ago, from the neighborhood of Albert
Nyanza, by the Stanley expedition, and
was obtained from the dwarf tribes in
habiting the Arewemi and Ituri forests,
near the equator. To make the pipe
the little people take the midrib of the
banana leaf, which is cellular, and, by
pushing a long, hard river reed through
the rib, they are enabled to get the
bore required for the pipe stem They
plug the lower end with clay, and, roll
ing up section of the banana leaf into
tiny cornucopia, cut a hole in the
stem and insert it for a bowl, the sap
in the green leaf preventing it's COM
bustion as the tobacco burns. This
pipe recalls the bowl made from a po-
tato and the stem made out of a piece
of twig from which the pith had been
driven, which was employed by many
American soldiers during the great war.
Another curious pipe is made from a
shell which comes from New Guinea
While the pipes used in the interior
are more generally made of bamboo,
those smoked in the neighborhood of
the coast and especially in Savo and
the Solomon islands, are made of shells
which are picked up on the seashore.
At present the principal pipe used in
the southern portion of New Guinea
and the adjacent islands is the English
clay, and a pipe of this description is
generally acceptable as a part of the
payment for q days labor in that dis
trict
Quite recently some curious pipes
were found in the vast guano deposits
of Peru, the date of which is fixed by
scientists to whom they have been sub
mitted as co-equal with the famous Pc
ruvian pottery, the eleventh or twelfth
century. Chicago Herald

FARM AND GARDEN.

WHEREVER the conditions are favor
able for the rotting of silage, there it
is quite possible for the silo lining to
rot also if the lining be of wood.
THE large head lice are the most de-
structive on little chicks of any kind,
and it is quite probable that the only
way to destroy these is with grease.
WHEN the horses have finished the
heavy work of the season the best
mode of curing sore feet is to take off
their shoes ind turn them on the pas
ture.
KEEP the new canes of raspberries
and biacllberries cut back if they have
made heavy growth, which will induce
stocky and produce better fruit next
season.
The best place for coop contain
ing hen with brood of chicks is on
the asparagus patch. The chicks dill
gently search the stalks and destroy
the asparagus beetle, which damages
the plants in some localities.
SALT is recommended as an excellent
fertilizer around the trunks of ounce
trees. The salt promotes the growth
of the trees, increases the size and
quality of the fruit, and also destroys
worms or maggots in the soil.
S. f. SCOTT, of New York, says he
has tried all ways of applying paris
green to potatoes, and has settled on
using it with wheat middlings and ap-
plying with sieve. If fine ashes are
mixed in part it does just as well.
THE root knot is a disease especially
prevalent among the peach, walnut
chestnut and some other trees. This
fact should be borne in mind when Sc
lecting trees for transplanting; reject
those that have knots on their roots.
IT is best not to cut young trees
back in the fall, but perform the work
in the spring If cut back now the
trees will require another pruning in
the spring should any protion of the
trees be winter killed, which is liable
to happen every season.

HARNESS CLOSETS.
Suggestions which, If Carried Out, Would

Suggestions Which, If Carried Out, Would
Save Many Dollars.
We do not know who wrote tho fol-
lowing, but we know it holds good
deal of truth and some suggestions
that, carried out, would save many Il
dollar now spent for harness: '"rhe
regulation horse stable generally con-
tains a parallel row of stalls, back of
which is partition of outer wall, to
which are attached pegs for harnesses,
halters, blankets, etc. A little shelf
above may hold curry combs, brushes
and a few bottles Of lotion. The har-
nesses frequently drop to the floor and
are trampled on by the horses, or even
if they are securely fastened to the pegs
the leather catches all the flying dirt,
which gives them dingy appearance.
They are also exposed to the corrosive
ammonial gases. Why not keep them
suspended in tight closets, as we do our
wearing apparel? Such closets can be
made to utilize space which would
otherwise be unoccupied, and not in
the least interfere with the convenience
of the stable. There are ut least two
NiSuiiC SOi III CNCly DlC,
in which the closets may be placed.
Measure from the corner each way on
the wall about five feet. At each ter.
minal point strike plumb line from
ceiling to floor, marking it plainly sc
that boards can be accurately matched
to it. Tack to the floor square-edgec
| cleat, running from the line on one
wall to that on the other Measure the
| desired width of door in the center OF
the cleat ana set in two light uprights
reaching from the floor to the ceiling
using matched lumber. Saw it il
lengths to reach from door casing to out
side corners, saving the farther ends
beveling to fit neatly against the stal
wall. Above the door full length
boards can continue to the ceiling, and
with IA door hung, the closet is nearly
complete. All that remains is to faster
the pegs or wooden hooks to the wal
inside, whereon are to be hung the har
nesses. The whole is simple job
which any farmer with saw and ham
mer can do in half day."

THE DEATH OF WHITTIER.

The London Times declares that
Whittier wrought for New England
what Scott did for Scotland. The
most salient features of his verse were
those also observable in his personal
character-S sincerity, simplicity, earn
eStneSS and manlineSS. These quail
ties 20 to make up sterling worth and
it may be said that they are character
istic Of things as well as persons. An
article to be long popular with the
public must possess them. The SIM
plest things are always the best, for
they come nearest TO the work of
great nature herself. This is emil
nently true of that great remedy
Reid's German Cough and Kidney
Cure. 1t is simple and 50 free from
all deleteriouS substances that it can
be given to the smallest child without
fear of injury. This makes it in
valuable in cases of Group as it can be

The young farmer who thinks he can
farm as did his grandfather and sue
ceed with an education that covers a
meager knowledge of reading, spelling,
writing and arithmetic will find when
too late that he has made an error that
will render his life we'll nigh useless.
The farmer of the next twenty five
years will be a thinker. He will be
the dominant actor in government. His
papers will be the dailies and his mail
will be delivered to his house. His
business will be systematic and he
must keep accounts that will show
what crops and stock are profitable.
The coming successful farmer must not
only be educated in the ordinary Eng
lish branches, but he must have a good
practical business training, Such an
education is as essential to the farmer
as to the man in the counting-room.-

HnndIInc Lousy HONS.

The best way to treat a hen that is
very lousy is to dust her well with fine
ashes Sift coal ashes, and then sift
again with flour sieve, as the ashes
must be very fine. In each peck of
ashes mix half pound of insect pow
der. Hold the hen over the ashes, head
down, and throw the ashes in among
the feathers by the handful, using the
ashes freely, rub few drops of lard on
the head and turn her loose. The lice
will be destroyed at one operation.
