A Bit of Information.

For the information Of an inquirer
the INDICATOR will say that the en-
ployes of the Philadelphia smelter pay
ii per month each to the company's
physician for the sick fund. st. Marys
Sanitarum is the smelters hospital and
the company physician attends all sick
employees taken there and settles ali
bills of the hospital on account of the
patient. He Is out nothing but the
d month. Aside from this each en-
ploye pays fifty cents per month to the
Guggenhelm Bros who see to it that
the employe is insured in good CON-
pany against al accidents. If he be
laid up from the effects of injuries re-
ce,ved he draws half pay from the
smelling company while sff duty. Thi,

day night to visit the kindred camp and
the people generally of that fourishing

where an appropriate and interesting
programme was rendered. the musical
and literary talent of Florence bringing

The excursionists were then escorted
to the town hall where many of them
ate the only supper they had seen for
twenty-fo hours. and the best any of
them had seen for month 1t was
simply immense, the refreshing ride and
the zest of the entertainment sharpen
ing the appetites of all, and joyously,
nay. anxicusly did they pitch in. The
only incident to mar the most happy
occasion was the over-much ankle

THE French government has been
thoroughly aroused by the horrible out
rage in the chamber of deputies. and it
now looks as though the bomb that
exploded with such fearful effect,
wounding eighty people, sounded a
significant warning to anarchy at the
same time. The government is now
debating measures whereby it will be a
penal offense to utter or publish in
flammable speeches teaching the
doctrine of outrage and murder; police
are to have supervision of anarchist
meetings, and the manufacture and
sale of explosives is to be controlled
by the government, etc. The senti-
mental creatures who protest against
such seemingly arbitrary action will
find little sympathy among all truly

VARYING COST OF FEED.

That the farmer needs to be an nll-
around practical business man is seen
in nothing more clearly than in the
management and especially the feeding
of his stock. He cannot set out with
one unvarying ration If he would pro-
duce milk, butter, beef or mutton Mt
the cheapest rate. There may be the
same kind of nutrition required, but
it must be procured in different forms,
according as the market varies.
A number of years ago grain was
much cheaper food than anything
else. Oats and corn gave more nutri-
ment for the same money than did
hay. The result was that wide-awake
farmers chopped up straw, and with
ground oats and corn made food
that kept horses and cattle better than
hay and with much less expense. Grain
is dearer now, but inseed meal and
cotton-seed meal are scarcely dearer
than they were when grain was at its
cheapest. They, too, will come into
the ration that the good business far
mer will provide for his stock.
Two years ago oats were extremely
dear. A farmer of our acquaintance,
who had used oats to mix with corn for
feeding sheep, substituted feed of
stained and broken beans for both the
oats and corn anil put with it twice or
thrice the bulk of the bean ration of
bran, in order that the sheep might di-
gest it better. 1t is this habit of
thinking that the farmers business al
ways requires that makes it impossi-
BILE for an unintelligent man to make a
good farmer. Instead Of being as it
may have been once, the business in
which man could get into rut and
plod along without thinking, it is the
business above every other in which
clear thinking is essential to success.

"Yes, 30 there has.

Something in the Eye.

Never nccdlcssly expose the eyes to
foreign PARTICLES, hut when necessary
wear plain glnsscs or goggles. When
cxpcrimrnting with chemicals always
turn the mouth of the tube or bottle
away from the face and eyes. When
ever nm eye is injured severely place
the patient Immediately in II dark
room and under the care of skilled
physician, whose directions must he
implicitly followed. The foreign
bodies nny he solids, rs sand, cinders,
hnir, dirt, etc, lime, acids, or nllinlies.
Don't rub the eyes, avoid sudden
glarcs of light, never look directly ut
the sun.
TO remove the solid particles from
under the lids il issrilicient to pull the
lid away from the eye and to wipe the
body with piece of moist paper or
the corner of handkerchic.; il it is
under the upper lid grasp the lid firm
ly between the thumb and finger, lift
it from the cyeball and draw it down
over he lower lid, and then allow it
to slide slowly back to its natural po-
gition. The foreign body will be
scrnped Off ON the lashcs. The OPP
Grafton may be repeated several times.
Or lift the lid from the eyeball, allow
the tenrs to accumulate beneath the
lid and forcibly blow the nose. Or
place in the eye few grains of flax
seed, which, forming mucilGge, will
promptly bring relief. Or place across
the upper lid the point of pencil or
bodkin and turn the lid back over it I;
in this way the foreign particle is
brought into distinct view and can be
readily wiped away.
Lime and Roman cement are very
destructive to the eyes if permitted to
remain any considerable time. Wash
the eye Immediately with water, then
with water containing vinegar or lem
ON Juice.
For acids in the eye wash with water
containing little ammonia or baking
soda.
For alkalies wash with water contain
ing vincger or lemon juice.

/ would like to say few words in

TO KEEP BUrrER cool.

We have tried with satisfactory sue

whole apparatus where it will be in a

The evaporation of water from the
pot will keep the butter hard and cold.
