KEROSENE will certainly kill lice,
but it must be used cautiously upon

Cultivate Flowers.

Any one riding through the coun-
try villages and the farming commun-
tiles may see many houses with YER
andas, piazzas and porches. The
greater number OF these are bare and
desolate. Generally, the veranda Is
on the south side of the house, and
II trees do not shade, the sun makes
IL the hottest, the most uncomfort-
able place about the house. Some OF
them glisten in new paint OF two
culors, some have no paint, and some
are falling down and'gOing to decay.

that it is not worth counting. Five

An Island In the south fAcino East q
Australia
East OF Australia, In the boutf.
Pacific, lies the island OF New Gale
donia. 1t belongs TO France and has
an area OF 6,769 square miles, with
an estimated population OF between
Az, 900 and 5000 people. The ma
tiyes are OF the Papuan race and
speak a language kindred with the
Australian tongues. They are divid-
ed into numerous tribes, are we'll
formed, tall, muscular, but indolent.
Their huts are nearly conical in
shape and vary from ten TO twenty
feet high. Work is begun by digging
a hole in the ground and then plant
ing tall stout pole in the center A
number Of poles running up to this
form the framework, which is woven
together by kind Of basketwork,
and then the whole is made water
tight by earth, additions being made
until the wall is several inches thick.
Entrance is had by door three feet
wide.
Many of the natives have been
converted to Christianity and are in
dustrious and sober.
New Caledonia was discovered by
Capt. Cook In 1774. In 1853 the
French took possession of the island

Growing Green Corn Tor CanncrIcs.

The business OF furnishing green
corn for canning purposes is a grow
ing one, and where land is not too
dear it is profitable. Even low rate
per dozen of ears amounts to a high
price for corn after it is shelled and
dried. Besides, in most localities,
part of the crop may be sold to city
or village purchasers for home use, at
a good deal better price than Gamers
can pay, the latter acting as the bal
ance which furnishing market when
it would otherwise be glutted. Most
kinds of sweet corn, especially those
with small ears, average much more
than one ear to stalk, and some
times nearly two ears on the average
of the piece.

BaoterIa an Butter.

enthusiastic scientists have been
recently experimenting with disease
producing bacteria In butter IL Is
worth while, one OF them said TO a
Washington Star writer, TO find out
how these microscopic vegetable Or
ganisms live in various foods In order
that It may be ascertained how likely
different articles OF human diet are
to convey morbid complaints into the
system. Accordingly. trials have
been made with the germs OF con-
sumption. typhoid fever and cholera
by planting a few OF each in pats OF
butter fresh from the dairy and
watching them afterward.
One curious result obtained was the
discovery that such disease-makiDg
bacteria lived much longer in butter
OF the best quality than in poor but
ter. Virulent bacilli of tuberculosis
were found among germs which had
been In first rate butter for l20 days
The vitality possessed by them was
proved by inoculating guinea pigs
with them. Evidently, therefore, 1t
is possible Tor butter to communicate
to human beings any OF the diseases
mentioned, as well as Others, doubt
less.
Much study has recently been given
to the bacteria which breed in milk,
of which there are not less than forty
species How numerous they are may
be family conceived when it is stated
that 1000, 900 may be found in a
single drop of cream. Some of them
give TO the butter its Characteristic
odor and taste. While the bacteria
are growing and feeding they pro-
ducc volatile substances, the presence
of which is distinglishable by the
sense OF smell. Other kinds OF bac-
terra cause the milk to curdle, while
others yet make an acid which turns
IL sour
1t is hoped that the time may yet
arrive when it will be possible for the
farmer to inoculate his cream with
certain kinds of bacteria, which may
have been ascertained to give the
best flavor to the butter.

1t seems hard to believe, says the
st. Louis Republic, that in a very
few years the incandescent lamp,
which we now regard as, In many
respects, an almost perfect light,
will be regarded as a crude makeshift
which mankind availed itself OF
while science stood on the threshold
OF the discovery Of the perfect lumi.
nant Mr.. Tesla has shown in his
experiments an ideal form of electric
lighting which would transcend in
luxury and convenience our present
system of electric lighting by mean
descent lamps as far as the latter
transcends the oil lamps and tallow
dips used by our ancestors.
Every drawing-roOm would become
an electric field in a continual state
of rapidly alternating stress, in which
the occupants would live, experience
ing no unpleasant effect whatever,
while vacuous tubes or phosphores-
cent globes and tubes, without care
or attention, would shed a soft, diff
fuse light OF color and intensity ar
ranged to suit the most luxurious
| fancy.
Mr.. Tesla's watchword is that the
phCsphorescent glow is the light Of
the future. He hints at artificial
aurora spreading from the-summit:
of towers of hitherto undreamtroi
