the weather changes to become rainy

the weather changes to become rainy
the precipitate will rise by degrees,
and moving crystallizations, similar
in shape to stars, will be seen. 8
When storm is imminent. the pre-
cipitate will nearly all rise to the
top of the tube, assuming the shape
OF the leaf, or an assemblage OF crys-
tails; the liquid will appear to be in
state OF effervescence. This change
very often takes place twenty-f four
hours before the change in the
weather. 4. The side from which
the wind will blow in squall will
be also indicated through the direc-
tion and the elevation OF the crys-
tallization in the tube, the crystal
lization always forming on the side
from which the wind will blow. s.
In the winter season the crystalliza-
tion will maintain itself higher in
the tube; snowy and freezing weather
are also indicated by the particles of
the substance floating in the liquid
and assuming the shape OF long,
hairy needles.-Farmers Voice.

Av.y with the pre.. Coat.

The dress coat of the ..kellner" is
shortly to disappear from the lead
ing Swiss hotels, SO that 1t will no
longer be possible to confound the
waiter with guests At recent
meeting Of the union of hotelkeepers
the question was solemnly debated
whether it was not practicable to
clothe the waiter in a more rational
dress than the hitherto obligatory
swallow-tail. The precedent for such
a resolution has already been set in
Germany. A few months ago the
Deutsche Gastwirths Verband offered
prize for the best example Of a con-
venient dress for. the waiter. The
design accepted was a tailless jacket
Goppe) of dark blue cloth after the
fashion of the stewards uniform on
board ships. This has met with a
wide approval in the profession and
it is already adopted by the kellner
in many Of the large German towns.

Agricultural Hints.

Rains on manure wash out the
potash, and that is the very thing
that fodder crops and grasses remove
from the soil.
The reason that wood ashes are a
good fertilizer for corn is that corn
requires u good deal of potash. Fifty
bushels of wood ashes to the acre
makes fine stimulant for the corn
crop.
The disease known as anthrax has
been very fatal to cattle, horses,
sheep and hogs in Great Britain for
some time. The disease among Ill
inois cattle is now pronounced an
thrax.
An exchange thinks we ought to
have man appointed in every local
ity to spray fruit trees. Yes, there
ought to be one appointed on every
farm, and the farmer should appoint
himself.
1t is as much the farmers duty to
recreate as to harvest his crops.
The busy season over, let him take
.an outing" as the city folks call it.
At least don't miss any of the picnics
and fairs
1t is claimed that an open umbrella
let down into a well that has foul
air, handle up, and drawn out rapid
ly, will make the air pure. 1t brings
out the carbonic acid gas, which is
heavier than air.
1t is the great reader in every call
ing who is best equipped for his

Fewer acres and larger crops will
save muscle and save In every direc-
tion. The man who can grow as

An Early .sp..klnr MACHINE" !"

Just after the close Of the crystal
palace exposition in London, NJ. Kem-
pelon,a native of Hungary, exhibited
wonderful speaking machine" at
the great Cockney resort known as
Egyptian hall. The inventor of this
oddity had done his best to finish his
machine in time for the great expo
sition. but had failed, and in order
to show him THAT they appreciated
his labors, 5000 Londoners visited
Egyptian hall the first day that 1t
was exhibited. Tho machine" con-
sisted of an air-chest, with pipes,
valves, bellows, ETC.. for lungs; a
glottis made OF reeds. and face.
mouth, jaws and nostrils made to re-
semble those of q man. 1t pro-
nounced all the letters Of the alphabet
distinctly except d. k, & and t, which
were given a very imperfect accent
The rudeness OF construction made
the voice somewhat harsh, but the
reports made at the time say that it
pronounced long words and sentences
so as to make them perfectly intelli-
gible.

An impure, damp kitchen sink

healthy nuisance can usually be
abated by boring several inch augur
holes through the door and free end.
Linen crash, blue denim, or tick

The secret of savory soup lies in

No Nor. Robb,nE E.pre.. Trains.

An inventor has devised q genuine
burglar-proof safe for railway trains.
1t is arranged with two combination
locks. Just when the bold robber
darkens tho car doorway, pistol in
hand. the express messenger touches
a little spring. In an instant tho
safe is locked on a new combination
of numbers which the messenger
himself does not know and could not
give to save his life. The agent at
the main station has that combina-
tion set down in his books, and he
must hunt it out before the safe can
be opened. With this device the
robber, the messenger and the station
agent must ali be in league before
an express car safe can be opened.

MUSIC THAT SPEAKS TRUTH.
Folk Songs Show the Habits. Bslisfs
and Fsslings OF Ages.


Folk Songs Show the Habits. Beliefs
and Fesiings OF Ages
In the folk songs OF the different
nations of the world men Of science
will one day recognize q body OF
evidence OF great value in the study
OF popular origins, racial relations.
primitive modes OF thought. ancient
customs, antique religions and many
other things which make up the
study of ethnology. says q writer in
the Musical Herald. These folk
songs are the echoes Of the heart Of
the vast, vague, irresistible people
In them are crystallized habits,
beliefs and feelings Of unspeakable
antiquity; yet not in the words of
the song alone. Study OF folk song
text is only half study; indeed, 1t is
study of the lesser half OF the subject
in request Of truthfulness. The
words OF the peoples songs are a
record Of externals chiefly. and very
often they were only half truths. II
we would know the whole story
which their creators put into them.
consciously or unconscio,sly, we must
hear also the music.
As the term implies. tho folk song
is the product of people; and q
people do not lie. Music is an es-
sential element OF it. and music not
only does MOTT cannot lie. The
things which are at the bottom OF
music, without which it could not be,
are unconscious human products.
We all act on recognition of this
fact when we judge Of the sentiments
OF another. not SO much by what he
says to us as by his manner Of say
ing it. The feelings which sway us
publish themselves in the pitch. dy-
manic intensity and timbre of our
voices. Try as we may, II we are
powerfully moved we cannot conceal
the fact il we open our mouths for
utterance. Involuntarily the muscles
Of the vocal organs become tense or
relax In obedience to the emotional
stimulus, and the drama which is
playing on the hidden stage of our
hearts is disclosed by the tones
which we utter. do not say in the
words. mind. but in the tones. Tho
former may be false, but the tones
are endowed with the elements
already enumerated, OF pitch, iutens-
ity and timbre, and the ,modulation
OF these elements makes expressive
melody. Science has recognized this
law and Herbert Spencer has formu-
lated it.: "Variations OF the voices
are the physiological results of vari-
ations of feelings;" and "feelings are
muscular stimuli" Thus simple is
the explanation Of the inherent
truthfulness and expressiveness of
the peoples music.

The Worlds Fair!

Take it all in all the word is fair. That is, its
judgments pretty generally just No doubt it
has formed many incorrect conclusions from the
time the caraves of Columbus appeared of the
shores of Salvador to the present Of celebration
but there are instances Of its fairness which can
be cited unguestioned. 1t has, after comparative
tests given its award to Hostetter's Stpma III Bit
ters for efficacy in cases of mnlarinl. rheumatic
and kidney disorder, dyspepsia. liver complaint,
constipation. nervousness and debility. Among
positive facts without any doubt' this verdict
deserves prominent place. The experience OF q
generation ju. stiles. and the concurrent testi-
mony of hosts of eminent physicians, bear out its
truth Give the Btters fair trial and verify 1t.

Three years ago the wood buffalo
was supposed to have become extinct
Now it seems that last winter the
Indians brought in from the Slave
lake and Peace river districts 200
skins OF the wood buffalo, some of
them Of unusal size and fine quality.
The theory is that the remnant OF
the great herds that formerly
roamed in the Northwest found q
feeding ground out Of the route of
Indians and hunters, multiplied
greatly, and were driven South by

A Plant C.u,e. Bl,ndne.s.

The little plant which is said by
scientists to cause blindness belongs
to the lowest order of fungi. The
propagation-simply by divisions
very rapid, and its growth in the It's
sues covering the eyeball causes such
irritation and congestion as to cut
off tho supply of nutrlment to the
clearer pa"t Of tho eye. SO that the
locul death Of tho part. with conse-
quent destruction of tho power of
vision, follows often in few days or
oven hours. SO far as is known it is
carried only by infection-it must
be planted tircr:ly on suitable soil
before it can grow. This in brief, is
what is known of the bacterial cause
OF blindness.

think, is used by no breeder, has

1t is simply the use of oil of sassa-
fras mixed with sweet oil, and apply
small quantity to different parts OF
tho body OF tho fowl, selecting those
points wherc che vsrmin would be

preparation fill with it small oil
or as little of the oil as l wish. A

troublesome to apply :han the various
insect powders. usc sweet oil
because of its curative powers, but
any kind OF grease no matter what,
will do to mix with tho oil of sassa-

hicle. | believe common sassafras
tea would be wonderfully efficacious.
Make it in q large pot, then, after
allowing it to cool. dip the fowls in
bodily. In one second the lice will
be dead, and iii ten seconds the fowl
will be perfectly dry, if placed in the

of the magical effect produced by the
