the start made on this one knocks out
all previous records. The noise con-

several hours, aud seemed to bid fair to

origin of the ssHelI0D

"Hello" is almost a rev word, as 1t
differs in form, sound and use from the
old "halloo." It is merely mentioned
by Webster, and the searcher for IN
formation is referred to "halloo,rs
which is defined as an interlectlon, a
loud call or the noise of the hunt. The
forms there given-"halloa" and "hal-
loo"-are not we'll adapted to the
American tongue, neither are they sus-
ceptible of the variety, of expression
that can be givento '"|ello." Probably
the word ''halloo" gre'3 out of the call
"hail, OH" which was almost univers-
ally used by wayfarers in olden time
when halting at a horse alongthe way.
s.Hail, oh! tLe house," was another
form quite common in this section in
early times. This would quite natu-
rally take the form of ''hal-loo! the
house" However, this derivation Is
not given by Webster, but merely sug-
gests itself. -Pittsburg Gazette.

A KITCHEN ME- dR ANDUM.

Nothing conduces more towards
smooth-running household machinery
than for the one who does the daily
marketing to find a list of wants ready
to her hand each day. Alas, for the
~housekeeper who trusts to her own or
her cooks brains,to supply this at a
moments notice. Something is sure
to be forgotten, and at the wrong time
g g or sugar or butter or spice will be
wanting. A little continuance that
will be found useful is made of a small
slate. Paste three strips of brown
paper on one side, and on these print
nicely a list of all necessary household
articles OF materials. When "ou think
of one that needs replenishingimake a
mark on the slate opposite it. Fasten
a sharpened slate pencil by a bit OF
picture wire to the right hand corner.
You can make it as ornamental as you
choose with a can of enamel. Instead
of FASTING on strips of paper rule the
spaces and give the slate three coats OF
white enamel inside the lines; then
print the list on these spaces with a tiny
brush and black or red paints. Enamel
the frame and fasten a small brass
screw hook in it to hang it up by
New York World.

A fire occurred Saturday in o show

which focused through a mammoth
magnifying glass and set fire to q

suns rays BY nagnifying glasses or by

Sentiment Frozen by Vigorous Words.

"What a lovely boy!" she exclaimed,
bending an e%nraptured gaze upon a
pretty fve-year-oli playing on the
green turf of Riverside.
The whole party paused and petted
him, and fat little pampered poodle
nosed the youngster jealously. And
the lad with his golden curls, blue eyes
and aristocratic features, was certainly
a pretty sight. He vas dressed in a
velvet Elton jacket and cooked hat with
an ostrich feather in it, and his fond
mamma, sitting on the nearest bench,
drank in the glances of admiration and
words of praise as sweetest incense to
her soul.
ooh, YOU dear child!" cried another
of the ladies.
"Come away, Fido-he won't bite
you, dear" Still the lad looked on
the pudgy dog doubtfully.
"What would you do if you had a
nice little dog like that ?'.inquired the
lady at the end of the ribbon.
Gid knocked the everlasting stuff
fng out of him!" promptly responded
the little chap. Whereat his fond
mamma turned crimson.
s'Come on, Fido," said the owner Of
the dog stifiy. But the rest of the
party looked as if in hearty approval
of this sentiment. Especially the
solemn young man who was with them'

A Remarkable Fish.

The little European fish called the
'bitterling," n of the carp family, is
remarkable from the fact that the fe-
male is the only fish which has a
slender ovipositor nearly aslong asthe
body. With this she deposits her yell
low eggs in the gills of the fresh-w"ter
mussel. This has long been known,
but in the last number of the German
Journal of Zoology, Doctor Oft pub
fishes an exhaustive paper, accom-
panied by elaborate plates, giving
figures of the embryos in different
stages, and the young nearly ready to
hatch lying between the folds Of tine
mussel's gills, which serve as BROOD
chambers. The fish is SO named from
its bitter taste. New York Indepenl-

COMBINING COWS TO THE STABLE.

Some things are necessary for the
welfare Of an animal besides food.
Certain wastes are to be provided for.
All that an animal needs to sustain life
and make a certain growth is not
sufficient for health. The digestive
organs cannot work BEAUTIFULLY with
out a surplus that must be elected as
waste. No one can make a ration that
will keep an animal living without
allowing for the wastes. And there
must be q certain waste of heat, and
this is got rid of by exercise. Heat
confined to the system is as injurious
and as productive of disease, as food
confined in the bowels. Thus cold Is
refreshing to every animal to a certain
extent, and to keep a cow shut up III a
warm stable, while it may save food,
or increase the yield of milk, will in
eyitably, in the end, be productive OF
disease in some form or other. And
with this comes the equivalent Of the
food saved, which is inevitable loss.
All the skill of man cannot get over a
natural law, the violation of which
brings its recompense in time. -Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

A Large Fruit Farm.

One of the largest fruit farms this
side of the Rocky Mountains, accord
inc to a recent bulletin of the West
Virginia Experimental Station, is to
be found on the foothills of the Blue
Ridge in Jefferson County, OF that
State. In 1887 Becker Brothers set
out SO, 900 peach trees, since which
time eight adjoining tracts have been
added, until the fruit farm comprises
24OO acres in one body. The planters
have not stopped with peaches alone
but they have q large area in grapes
ounces and cherries, besides American
and Japanese plums, apricots, Japan
persimmons, nectarine, English wal,
nuts, Italian chestnuts and paper smell
almonds. Chicago Herald.

HOW TO MAKE MEA1iY POTATOES.

Pare the raw potatoes and let them
stand IN hour or SO in a basin of water,
to which a pinch of salt has been add.
ed. Boil quickly; when done drain
off the water carefully, and replace the
potatoes upon the stove in the same
vessel in which they were cooked to
dry for five OF ten minutes. When
ready to serve take each potato and
squeeze it gel y, but not enough to
destroy the form, in a dry napkin, and
place Immediately on the table. The
squeezing in the napkin takes out all
the water, and leaves the potatoes that
were before wet and heavy, dry, mealy
and delicious.

second CROP POTATOES FOR SEED.

The growth Of small potatoes from
tubers left in the ground in warm ell-
mates during August and September,
probably suggested the idea that a
second crop could be grown In the
fall. E. A. Popenoe and S. G. Mason,
of the Kansas Station, have found thai
the use of these second crop potatoes
for seed the following spring has gwen
much better returns than planting the
regular o BY the early planting
of early varieties seed may be dug In
July ripe enough to grow q second
r that sumner. Even under u
most favorable conditions this second
i o will be comparatively light, often
small. but firm and of fine quality.
These potatoes keep during the winter
and until planting time in sound con-
dition, being firm and nearly free
from sprouts, when the first crop
would be much sprouted and shr1veled.
Two years trial shows an average gam
Of 48@ per cent. in yield from second
seed. The much larger tops and Q
numerous flowers seem to Indicate
greater vigor and vitality, and they re-
sist drouth better. These advantages
are probably due to the seed not hay,
ing sprouted in storage, which woulo
have impaired the vitality. u Kansas
potatoes can be planted in March. Al
Ter the first crop is ripe, there are one
or two months Of warm weather, u
ing which it is a question whether pc,
tatoes are better off left in the ground
or stored in the warm cellars WHICH
the climate affords. Hence the bulk
of the potatoes are marketed early. u
is believed that the use Of firm eco
I seed will obviate some OF the d11-
fculties. American Agriculturist.

RECIPE For HARNESS DRESSING.

Any one can make an excsllent har-
ness dressing, as follows: One gallon
f neat's-foot oil, two pounds of3ay-
berry tallow, two pounds beeswax,
Two pounds beef tallow. Put the above
IN 4 kettle over a moderate fire. When
thoroughly dissolved add two quarts
of castor oil, then while on the fire
stir in one ounce of fine lampblack.
Mix thoroughly while warm, and strain
through a cloth to remove any coarse
narticles and the sediment. When cool
# viii be ready for use, and you will
have as good if not a better article of
harness dressing than you can pur.
chase. Besides, the castor oil in it
will prevent rats and mice gnawing the
harness.-New York Sun.

CLEANSING OF BRUSHES AND sPoNaEs.

How many mothers and nurses neg
lect this important duty writes a cor
respondent. Once a mother was direct
ing a new nursemaid in the duties of
the nursery, and when she told her
about the cleansing of brushes and
sponges used by the children, the girl
exclaimed: "Well, marin, this is q
new-fashioned idea /; I never heard of it
before, and I have lived out many years
in first-class families, too; what is the
need of it? Amt these things used in
water every day." 1t was only by
talking about this matter every week
that the mother could make this nurse
attend to this simple duty.
Brushes should never be kept in q
close box or drawer, for they will al
ways have an unpleasant odor. Wire
brush racks, with a top of any
pretty material, are very nice things
to hang up in the nursery over the
washstand.

GEESE AND DUCKS ON THE FARM

Are not very largely bred upon farms
in comparison with the number OF our
land poultry, and yet they are both
profitable and a delight to the eye.
While liberal water privileges are USE
full where geese and ducks are kept,
they are by no means essential, as
these birds will do well with no O
than enough water for drinking pur-
poses. Plenty of grass and good pas
ture are, however, very needful, as
geese are as truly grazing stock as
horses, sheep or cattle. When clover
and other nutritious fodder abound
little OF no grain is required, and geese
may be reared very scheaply. The
duck is a heavy feeder, but not ove
particular, SO that almost any farm
waste may be used. Table leavings,
small potatoes, beet and turnip leaves
in short, anything and everything
at all eatable the duck will consume
and make return for same n d goodiy
number of large, rich eggs. 1t is quite
remarkable how a duck will lay. Shs
begins as early as February and lays
every day for three or four months
with few respites. Toulouse and Emb-
den are by far the best breeds of geese,
and the Pekin is queen of ducks.
Hatch both geese and duck eggs under
hens, as the geese make clumsy
mothers and the ducks cannot be re-
lied on for Matching. Country Gen-
tleman.
