cts, the seeds to be tested. numbering
p. 50 or 100 of each sort, are placed
within the muslin trough and the bot
tom of the pan covered to the depth of
half an inch with water slightly
warmed. The lower edges of the pocl-
cts coming in contact with water keeps
the seed sufficiently moist by means of
capillary attraction. The pan is then
covered with a thick pane of glass and
set close to a window. The date that the
test is begun and closed is carefully
noted, as well as the per cent. of the
seeds that have germinated. In this
way the number of seeds required to
produce a good stand can be deter
mined.
For use on the farm for determining
the vitality of corn, grass, clover and
other seeds, any comparatively shallow
pan or an ordinary bread pan will an

of this kind the ends of the galvanized
or painted iron wires can rest on the
upper edges of the sides. An ordinary
panc of glass will answer for the cover.
The necessary ventilation will then be
secured and the proper degree of heat
and moisture retained.

scissors and be transplanted with
pieces of cloth, and their growth will
thereafter be continuous, il the season
and other necessary conditions are at

chase of worthless and inferior seeds
can be obviated and the proper amount
of grass and other seeds to SOW to the
acre may bc determined definitely, al

seed possesses no vitality whatever. A

Can be counted on
to cure Catarrh DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's nothing new. For
25 years it has been doing that very
thing. 1t gives prompt and com.
plctc relief but you want moro
than that. And you get it, with
this Remedy-there's a cure that
is perfect and permanent. The
worst chronic cases, no matter of
how long standing, yield to its
mild, soothing, cleansing and heal
ing properties. "Cold in the Head "
needs but few applications. Ca
tarrhal Headache, and all the
troubles that come from Catarrh,
are at once relieved and cured.
You can count on something else,
too-S5O0 in cash.
You can count on it, but it's
more than doubtful whether you
earn it.
The proprictors of DIR. Sage's
Remedy, in good faith, offer that
amount for an incurable case of
Catarrh. Don't think that you
have one, though.
They'll pay you, if they can't
cure you. That's certain.
But they can cure you. That's
just about as certain, too.
Can you ask more?

MILES OF ICE.
Mighty Glaciers and Ice Mountains Of
Alasla.

Mighty Glaciers and Ice Mountains OF
Alaska.
The exploring parties which, under
the combined auspices of the United
States Geographical Survey and the Ma
tional Geographic society, visited Mount
ST. Elias and its neighborhood in 1890
and 1891 have brought back wonderful
accounts of that region. One of the
most interesting features of the report
of Mr.. Israel C. Russell, the leader of
the expeditions, is that which relates to
the great Malaspina glacier between
Mount st. Elias, with its thanking
ranges and giant peaks, and the Pacific
ocean.
The extent of the great field of ice is
no less than fifteen hundred square
miles, its extreme length being seventy
miles, while it varies between twenty
and twenty-five miles in width. The
surface of the ice is elevated fifteen
hundred feet above the sea, and its top,
especially near the center of the area, is
smooth. bat split by tens of thousands
ofcrcvasses.
The surface of the glacier is gently
undulating, like that OF a rolling prairie.
Mr.. Russell describes it as "a dreary
and lifeless prairie of ice"
In one place n part of the glacier,
known as the Guyot lobe, advances
boldly, with n perpendicular front, into
the ocean, and as the waves undermine
it huge icebcrgs are broken off and go
floating out TO sea. The loss thus sus-
tlined is made up by the slow advance
of the accommodating ice and snow on the
mighty slopes of the mountains behind
ii.
Concealed streams running under the
glacier drain off the water that accumu-
lates from the melting of the ice. MANY
q these streams rvappcar at the 'efg
d the .aeier, rising ont of the border
of stones and gravel. and one Of them, 4
named Fountain Stream, is truly won
derful
Its waters come to the surface with
such force, owing to the pressure be-
hind, that they form spring hundred
feet across. which rises in a body twelve
or fifteen feet above the surface of the
ground, while spurts and jets of spray
shoot up still higher.-Youth's Compan
