Lieutenant Varges, OF the Austro- Hun.
gariau army has made public the details
OF his recent ride across India. He rode
1900 miles in ninety-four DAYS, aud
crossed lS4 rivers, only three of which
Were bridged. His expenses We're a little
less than $50, of which ouly $i5 was foI
food for himself, his servant aud his
horse. The total cost Of his trip from
his home and back was $3.50
This inexpensiveness of his trip. as wei
as the souudneSs of his health through
out it, Lieutenant Varges attributes TO
his habit of eating only rice during his
journey on horseback. During his ride
he ate 10 pounds Of rice, his servant rs
pounds, and his horse so pounds.
For the first fourteen days Lieutenant
Varges ate peppered rice; then for three
weeks curied rice Between the fifth
aud the ninth week he ate sugared rice.
In the tenth week the rice was salted; in
the eleventh, unseasoned; in the twelfth,
salted, peppered, curried, and sugared.
For tourists in hot climates Lieutenant
Varges concludes, rice is the only proper
food which can be relied upon safely to
keep man and beast strong and active.

Magic Glass.

One OF the most curious inventions OF
this inventive age is what is called plati-
nized glass. A piece of glass is coated
with an exceedingly thin layer Of a
liquid charged with platinum, and is
then raised to a red heat. The platinum
becomes united to the glass in such way
as to form a very odd kind Of mirror
The glass has not lost its transparency,
and yet il one places it against wall
and looks at it he sees his image as in an
ordinary looking glass. But when light
is allowed to come through the glass
from the other side, as when it is placed
in a window it appears perfectly trans.
parent like ordinary glass.
By constructing a window Of plati-
nized glass one could stand close behind
the canes, in an unilluminated room,
and behold clearly everything going on
outside, while passersby looking at the
window would behold only fine mirror
or set OF mirrors. in which their own fig-
ures would be reflected, while the person
inside remained invisible.
In France various tricks have been con-
trived with the aid Of this glass In one
q person seeing what appears 70 be an or
binary mirror approaches it to look at
himself. A sudden change in the
mechanism sends light through the glass
from the back, whereupon it instantly
becomes transparent, and the startled
epectator finds himself confronted by
some grotesque figure which has been
hidden behind the magic glass. What
wonders might not magician OF the
dark ages have wrought If he could have
had piece Of platinized glass!

Life ought TO be, for every healthy ma
ture, one quenchless thirst for achieve
ment, experience aud expansion No
limits are set TO the human soul, although.
time keeps a strong registry against the
human form. In this century some of
the greatest things have been done by
old men--men who have declined 10 stop
and step out of the ranks, and who have
gone on adding strength TO strength aud
service TO service until old age has be-
come the fruitful harvester of October,
and not the bleak barrenness Of Decem-
ber. Physical infirmities are not 10 be
warded off by an effort of will, bat no
man need decline because his body di-
minishes in force. Growth takes on
many forms, and it can still persist when
the senses have begun to fall.
1t is great gain 10 Danish from our
thoughts the ideal Of life which fixes its
best period at the beginning. Il is a
great thing TO look forward TO ever-in-
creasing gain, to think always Of leading
and advancing, never Of retiring and
retreating. The charming old woman
who began to study painting after she
was sixty years old is a capital illustra-
tion Of the spirit in which we ought all
to take hold Of life. There are few who.
like the great Doge Of Venice, beyond
the age Of ninety. can climb the wall Of
a besieged city at the head of an attack
ing force, but there is no one who need
settle down to decline and decay because
youth is past Life has no limits for
those who know how 10 live. and the joy
of it lies in moving with the tide and
keeping at the front until the time comes
when there is a greater and a higher OF
portunity elsew where.-thrisiian Union.

Dairy FARMING a Soil Restorer.

As conservator of the soil, dairying
stands pre- cminently at the head. In the
production of butter, almost absolutely
nothing of soil fertility is carried away.
Grass for the herds. in the days of Abraham
and Lot the chef food Of cattle. is today
and ever will be the main reliance. The
thick, fibrous roots prevent the rapid
waste by washing which takes place on
many farms where the land is cult
waited | feel constrained to say that
have seen very thin land pastured and
trod over every day in the year, and yet
the yield of grass increased ten-fold.
This cannot be done with anything else.
The dairyman is a manufacturer; the COW
is the machine that converts grass worth 81
per month for pasturage, hay worth 81 per
ton, corn worth 10 cents per hundred, into
butter and cheese worth 5000 to $500 per
ton, costing little more to carry to market
than a ton of hay or corn, leaving all the
vast waste on the farm to be returned to
the soil.-Farmer's Review.

Good Farming

If we were specially canvassing farms
and farmers TO show what well-directed
labor, energy and business ability, when
ntelligently applied, can be made to ae-
compiish in productive farming, we could
find no better example of marked success
than is seen in what has been accomplished
by our townsman, j. y. Lebroke, of
Foxcroft
When Mr.. Lebroke carne into posses
sion of the farm he now occupies, some
ten years ago. he found il in rundown
neglected condition, producing scanty
crops, buildings out of repair, with the
entire premises in that low condition that
precedes and leads TO so many abandoned
farms In the few wears he has occupied
the farm as his home, all thi. is changed.
The buildings have been remodeled and
enlarged. the fields have been worked
and fortified, and now produce crops as
much above the average as they previously
produced below it, Judging from personal
knowledge, we would not hesitate to place
the producing capacity of the farm today
at three times the Quantity produced under
its former management.
Mr.. Lebroke has supplied us with figures
showing some of the leading crops grown
the first season. That there shall he no
deception, it will be necessary to state that
Mr.. l.. owns an outlying farm that he tills
in connection with his home farm, and some
portion of the crops was grown upon this
OUTLYING farm The crop of
grain, consisting of 800 bushels
of mixed grain. the balance oats, grown
this season, amount to slj bushels, ma
chine measure. Potatoes; in this season
of low production Mr.. Lebroke has grown
$50 bushels. Corn, 2lo bushels of ears.
1t is pretty generally known that Mr..
Lebroke makes. in stock-raising, a lead
ing speciality of sheep. He proposes to
winter 200 sheep, this being the same
number that was carried the past year.
In his flock of 200 the past winter not a
single sheep was lost while at the barn.
Those who keep large focks will regard
this as unusually good luck. Good luck
means largely good care, and this example
of good luck shows very clearly the value
of personal care and attention. The 40
breeding ewes grew to maturity 40 lambs.
These lambs were shipped with others pur
chased, to Boston markets, bringing paving
prices. We might add that in addition to
sheep. several cows are kept, being used
largely for growing veal calves. and bring
ing in good returns in this way at small ex-
pense of labor.
In writing up, as we have occasionally
done, what is being accomplished by in
diyidual farmers, we should not only give
the tribute of commentator that their well
directed efforts entitle them to. but still
more would We point to their success as an
encouragement to others TO strive through
the same systematic, persistent and well
directed efforts to secure to themselves
like success.
While we thus point the moral, do not be
deceived into thinking that these large
results come easily to those who achieve
them, for their success, AS yours and mine
must. if we reach it, comes through earnest,
persistent and manly effort.-Piscataqui
Observer.

Smoking House Plants.

To destroy aphides or green lice on VIM
dow plants it is neither convenient To dip
large plants nor to fill our rooms with to-
bacco smoke know of no convenient
method of destroying these pests. Whale
oil soap suds is useful, but not entirely sat
isfactory with me ut least Recently hit
upon the following plan; Dip q sheet in
warm water, wiring it out and suspend it
from the top of the window, after first re-
moving the curtains. See that the sheet
comes well down around the plants at the
sides of the window. Fasten it il several
places. Now put some ashes into tin or
esrthen dish and on them place some red
hot Goals and drop on handful of tobacco
Raise the sheet and set the dish among the
plants, but see that no foliage comes rear
and directly over the Goals. The place may
be prepared, the dish of ashes and Goals set
in and the tobacco dropped on after every
thing is in order, but care must be taken
not to let the Goals die before the tobacco is
put on. | use the cheap tobacco stems, but
in lieu of these, would try Scotch snuff or
any form of tobacco. The operation should
be performed when the family are out of
the room and out of the house if possible,
unless they ike the smell of the weed

About Potatoes.

The greatest potato producing state in the
Union is New York, which devotes tround
numbers being used in all cases 100000
one-seventh of the eutIrc crop of the country.
Iowa is second in amount raised--l 600
900 bushels-though it. aIe,.lSI 900 acres,
is eclipsed by the 2O3 900 which Pennsyl
vania gives to the rising of 5000 900
bushels. Illinois comes next. both in area
and quantity of product, while Wisconsin
and Kansas cross each other for fifth place
The four New gland states of Maine
New Hampshire. Vermont AMI Massachu
sets, however, lead the country in the
lumber of bushels produced per acre,
the average for the four states being
over 100 bushels IN acre. which is attained
by no other states except remote Washing
ton which promises to become one of the
finest potato growing regions of the world.
II is thus seen that the cooler climate of
the Northern states is favorable to this
crop, as to many others in the list of stand
ard food supply. Indeed, the potato as it
is known and appreciated today, cannot be
successfully grown for any length of time
in the warmer climates without the intro
duction of fresh seed stock from the higher

Now that the subject OF prohibiting inn
migration is being considered by the Senate,
It may be worthy of note that bill has
just been introduced in the German Reich
stag to stop emn,igra,ion from that empire.
II eompels all immigrant agents to take ont
licenses and to submit their books to the
government for inspection. The hill pro-
hibits the immigration of men between the
ages of seventeen and twenty-five who are
liable 10 military service. It also prohibits
the immigration Of Germans whose fares
are paid by foreign company or agents.
Several other stringent regulations are in
troduccd, the'purpose of which is TO render
immigration difficult. The German inmi-
grant generally makes good citizen
What we want in this country is not fewer
Germans but fewer inning rants from
Southern and Southeastern Europe. The
classes which the German bill will stop
from immigrsting are not the undesirable
