Ready.

During the rebellion in Chile, one
young girl had the chance OF distin-
gushing herself at a moment of dam
ger, and hesitated not an instant in
embracing it. This was the daughter
OF Don Claudio Vicuna, and her IA
ther thus described the story of her
heroism to the author OF Ozark Days
in Chile::'
One evening at six O'Clock, during
my absence my daughter was writing
some letters for me at the table. Sud
denly she heard crash of broken
glass, followed by a loud explosion at
the street end of the room, and there
had been so much bomb work OF late
that instinctively she guessed what
had happened.
Before she could collect herself sufi-
GENTLY to rush for the door, a second
bomb was hurled in and rolled almost
to her feet, providentially without ex-
ploding. This she picked. up, and
threw from the other window into the
court below; then seeing that some
brown paper was smouldering in a
half-open box of rifle cartridges, she
quickly dashed large Jug Of waite
over it.
By this time the servants had rushed
in, and succeeded in extinguishing the
fire which had caught the curtains
and furniture.
Butmy brave girl, remembering that
| had gone out unarmed, took my re-
volver and started out alone to meet
me on my way home, and it was not
until | had been provided with the
weapon that she told me what had
happened.

"A Novel Sort OF Railway.

The novel bicycle railway about to
be established between Mount Holly
and Smithfeld, Nj, will be the only
one OF the kind in the country. The
road bed is a frame work resembling
an ordinary board fence, on the top
of which is a steel Z rail, on which the
grooved wheel of the bicycle runs. A
brace run extends down on either side
of the fence, on the end OF which is a
wheel that runs along the bottom
board OF the fence, and prevents the
machine from oyerturning.
Each bicycle will carry one or two
persons and the machines are easily
propelled as there is but little friction.
The trip between the two places can
be made in seven minutes, and as
there is conside rable travel each way
daily it is the general belief that the
road will be profitable.

A Little Blunder That Made Trouble
for the Sad-Eyed Editor.
The editor could not see that the
man was trying to still tempest in
his bosom when he came in but never
let on.
"Good morning" he said, with af-
fluent politeness.
II believe, replied the visitor, stiff
ing his emotion, chat I sent you a
communication yesterday beginning
with these words lreading from a slip
OF paper:) Colonel Brown received a
bushal OF petitions from churches and
temperance societies asking that the
saloons be closed etc."

editor, land Twas glad to print it in
"But you didn't print it SIR" inter
rupted the irate visitor.
II beg your pardon, colonel" dis
sented the editor; "you will find it l
think, on the first page. I have not
read it, but l saw the heading of the
article"
"Well, sir, read it now," and the
colonel fercely thrusted a copy of the
paper at him. "Read, sir, read" he
went on, wildly quoting: "Colonel
Brown received a bushel of potatoes
from churches and temperance soci-
eties.' Think of that, sir A bushel
OF potatoes! What in the name of
justice, truth and equity has bushel
of potatoes got to. do with it," And
as the colonel raved and .ranted, the
editor looked at the cold, cruel type
standing out in horrid relief and was
utterly peechless.-Detroit Free

Short Rows.

It is estimated from very reliable
sources that this season Virginia had
100000 acres of land devoted to
tobacco culture.
Eggs from a filthy and vile-smelling
hen house can not be really fit to eat.
The quality of eggs is affected both by
the food and surroundings OF the hens.
A correspondent says that in saw
ing seed corn there are five points to
look at: Length of ear, depth OF
grain, smallness OF cob, well fitted
ends, and a good place to keep it.
The Country Gentleman says an
Albany county farmer placed on each
bale OF hay shipped, the information
that it was grown on gravelly loan
and was free from dust and chaf-
with name and address, and for this
got 81. so above the market price.
There are some ways, at least, in
which more protection would help the
farmer. If he would protect his cattle
from cold, storms and winds, his
poultry from vermin and his tools
and machines from sun and rain, it
would increase his income and reduce
his expenses.
When cuttings are being rooted by
amateurs in small tin or earthen yes
sells, placed in sunny windows, the
process can be forwarded by painting
the receptacle black. The color alb
serbs the heat and imparts it to the
sand or earth, thus facilitating the
starting of the roots.
Do not allow the sneep to be out
long in rain or snow. When the fleece
gets filled with either, it takes q long
time to dry out and a great deal Of
animal heat to dry it out, and this
heat requires extra feed to keep up. "A

with water is q heavy load fort he ami
NAL to carry about.

AN ELEPHANTS PALATE.
The Sense OF Taste and Smell Re-
markably Acute In Elephants.


An elephants digestive functions
are very rapid, and the animal, there
fore, requires large amount of fod-
der-six hundred pounds at least. In
ite wild state the elephant leeds heart

selecting the few forest trees which 1t
likes for their bark or foliage. But it
will tear down branches, and leave
half OF them untouched. It will strip
off the bark from other trees and
throw away a large portion
As it is anocturnal animal, it, selects
it's trees by the senses Of touch and
smell. It's sense of smell is to Indicate

thenerves Of its trunk are so sensitive
that the smallest substance can be
discovered and picked up by. its tiny
proboscis.
An elephants palate is very deli.
cate, and the animal is whimsical in
selecting or rejecting morsels Of food.
Sir Samuel w. Baker, in his "Wild
Beasts and their Ways" tells an
anecdote humorously illustrative Of
the whims of tame elephant, belong
ing to the police of Dhubri.
This elephant was fed with rice and
plantains. The stems of the plantains
were split and cut into transverse Sec
tions, two feet in length. Three
quarters of a pound OF rice were
placed within each tube of plantain
stem. One Gay, while the elephant
was being fed, a lady offered the
animal a small sweet biscuit. It was
taken in the trunk, and almost i'm
mediately thrown on the ground.
The mahout, or driver, thinking
that the elephant had behaved rudely,
picked up the biscuit and inserted it
III a parcel of rice within plantain
stem. This was placed in the ele-
5phdnt's mouth, and at the very first
crunch it showed its disgust by splitting
out the whole mess. The small
biscuit had disguised the animal, and

FOR AND ABOUT FARMING.
MATTERS FOR IN
DUSTRlOUS FARMERS.
Beginning With Bees--Scab Of Po--

Pullets for LayinR?--To
Tell Good Seeds from
Bad.
Beginning with Bees.

There is wonderful difference between
the honey yields of different localities;
one man may report: II never had a
greater CROP" while another will say:
"My bees have done scarcely any
thing" There are localities where comb
honey cannot be proftably produced,
and others where it will not pay to
run for extracted honey; inmost cases
iudicious combination gives best re
suit. Comb-honey is largely sold by
its appearance; therefore choose a To-
cation where honey plants are suchas
to produce the finest and best honey.
If possible, locate near large alfalfa
fields; or where the mountain sides are
covered with the different species. Of
sage, or in places where California
lilac abounds. An apiary should be
located in q valley, SO as to give the
bees greater range OF flight. The
swarming tendency is more or
less governed by position of the
apiary. If well shaded, and
along some river bottom sWarming
can be controlled very easily. Ii in a
mountain or foothill country, you
will have abundance of swarms, and
the main difficulty in locations like
this is to keep them from swarning
too much. To get stocked up with
bees better 60 to some successful bee
keeper up with the times, and pur-
chase from him three or four colonies
in movable frame hives. It is best
not to start with too many, butlearr
as you 60!
The debated question. (Which
bees to start with?'' is of little mo-
ment to beginner After you find out
your location. then try the different
races until you find one that suits
you. Some races of bees do we'll in
one location some in another. After
getting your bees home and on their
permanent stands, read some good
book on Bookkeeping and subscribe for
one or more good papers. think g.
bee journal OF more impor-
tance than a bee book, because the
journal is constantly presenting the
new and valuable discoveries made
W the most progressive apiarists OF
the day Bee culture could only be
learned by study and practice. Learn
the principles from the books and pa
pers, then practically apply them;
visit some successful apiarist. One
visit will sometimes be worth good
many dollars to a beginner. After
you are started well study your mar
ket; try and build up a good home
market. Sell nothing but a good ar
ticle, thoroughly we'll ripened, and in
q neat, attractive shape. Try and
have all your honey first class. Honey
should be lelt in the hives until thor
oughly evaporated and all sealed up.
Do not extract before it is all capped.
Try and use a one-sized frame
throughout the apiary; two or more
sized frames are great bother.-Pa-
citic Rural Press.

scab Of Potatoes and Roots.

Extended experience with the scab
leads the North Dakota Experiment
Station to the following interesting
conclusions: Scabby "seed" tubers
under ordinary circumstances produce
O. deceased crop. 2. Seed potatoes
free from scab upon soil free from the
disease will produce healthy potatoes.
3. The disease germs can remain in
the ground from one crop to another.
But not the least interesting is the
demonstrated fact that by soaking
the seed in certain chemicals before
planting an undiseased crop can be
grown from the scabbiest potatoes,
provided the soil be free from the scab
germs. The point is to kill the adj
herring germs and not retard the
growth OF the tuber, and for this the
treatment recommended is with
corr osive MISUNDERSTANDING BIZ
chloride. In the first place the seed
to be treated should be thoroughly
washed in a vat of running water or
in a tub by frequently changing the
water. Only the fairest of potatoes
should be retained.
For the treatment obtain a. barrel
and place in it Is gals. of water. Dis
solve 2 ozs. OF the sublimate in gals.
OF warm water, add this to the barrel
and stir for a time. Into this solu-
ton place the washed potatoes for an
hour and half. The liquid can be
used for further. potatoes. After the
treatment the tubers can be cut and
planted in the usual manner. The
substance employed is strong poison
and great care needs to be taken in
it's use. A similar scab is found on
beets OF various sorts and as it is
probably the same, it is unwise to
raise potatoes on the same land sue
cessively if they are scabby and it fol-
lows that beets should not follow
scabby potatoes. It is probable that
other root crops are infested with the
fungous disease, and likewise it is to
be expected that other representatives.
will be found ehective.-Dr. Byron D.

Hens or Pullets for Laying?


Whether to retain the old hens or
to hatch early pullets is one OF the I'M
settled questions in keeping poultry,
says Poultry Yard. The fact is both
the old hens and pullets may be pre-
ferred, according to circumstances.
That the pullets seem to excel the
hens at times is true, but the matured
hen is better for breeding purposes
than the pullet. The hen, after she
begins to lay, will often grow fat and
remain SO on a very small quantity OF
food. It is difficult to reduce a fat
hen except BY actual starvation, es-
pecially with some breeds, and this is
the difficulty, though unknown to
some, that induces them to discard
her for the pullet, as the pullet from
doing double duty of laying and grow
ing, does not fatten SO readily. The
chicks from eggs produced by hens are
nearly always stronger and more vig-
orous than those produced bypullets,
and the hen lays g. larger egg than the
pullet. The claim that the men will
not lay as many eggs the second and
third years as the first is not true.
The hen simply fattens more readily
as she enters her second year and be-
comes aged. If fed iudiciously, she
should cost less than the pullets and
lay more eggs, as well as retain her
vigor till she is five or six years Old

TO Tell Good Seeds From Bad.

To Tell Good Seeds From Bad.
The Germantown Telegraph gives a
test for the vitality of seeds which we
do not remember having seen in
print before. Corn is taken as the
sample, but the facts are true OF all
grains. All seeds may be divided in
to three parts, the germ, the body and
the skin. The germ is the part which
contains the life principle-the part
which sprouts, and is therefore the
life OF the seed and of thefutu plant.
On the vigor and perfection OF the
germ or chit depends the value Of the
seed. The body is the reserve fund Of
the germ, which supports the embryo
sprouts, both top and bottom, or
an and root, until the root is I'd
v;.nced enough to feed upon the soil.
During this process the body is gen
orally absorbed entirely to support
the plant. The skin OF a seed is mere
ly for protection; it protects the inter-
lor from undue mOiSter and minor
enemies. The germ is OF amber color,
about the consistency of old cheese,
and cuts under q knife exactly like
cheese. The body is harder, OF vari-
Gus colors, and much less susceptible
to attacks of water or insects These
are the characteristics OF well-ripened
seed, and are invariable. Ii the seed
is caught by frost before becoming
ripe, the chit crumbles to a fine pow
der and becomes dead. So the test of
good seed, sure to grow, is the cheesy
character OF the germ; very simple
thing, easily tested with a sharp knife,
