Tho Supply Fair, but Lenders Insist o.
the Gold Clause.
Bradstreet's for the week ending
April 90:
"Underneath the apparent calmness
OF the Now York loan market the
position is still nervous, though open
manifestations are checked BY the
restricted demand for funds. The
selief which the market exhibited on
the declaration that tho government,
would make no discrimination between
legal tender and Treasury silver notes,
with the attendant break in exchange
and cessation of gold shipments, ia
modified by the uncertainty about the
outcome of the Treasury's negotiations
with the banks and the possibility of q
bond issue on terms which might
ourtail the market supply of money.
"ls also appears that the Increase of
the government gold from interior
banks has been effected by paying
legal tenders At New York against
specie delivered elsewhere. This has
caused break in New York exchaug 90
at interior points, the figures at
Chicago for instance falling from SOC.
per 81 900 premium to discount. the
effect Of this being to stop the move
ment Of money from the interior and
to create fears of an outflow from here.
"The surrender to the Treasury BY
the Boston associated banks of
$4,000, 900 Of their gold caused some
drawing in of their New York
balances, and was appare ntly respon.
sibIe for the only approach to a furry
which occurred on Monday, when call
loans were bid up to II per cent. and
on the Stock Exchange were
COS per cent.
"Rates for the rest OF the week were
3A@6 until Friday, when the rates
were forced up to6@8 per cent, while
time money was unchanged at 6 per
cent. for all dates, the only demand
being for currency loans, while lenders
stand out for gold clause.
"The supply of commercial paper is
fair. though many makers decline to
offer owing to the limited buying,
which comes entirely from out of town
on per cent basis for best Names"

Two Forms of Death.

There are two forms of physical
death constantly going on in the
world; says the Observation-Disclosures
death and somatic death. The first is
expressed in other words by saying
that the whole of the body is constant
ly being worn out and being renewed.
Every action that we perform, every
breath we draw, and every thought we
think, is each accompanied by the
death of a certain amount of muscular
or nervous tissue, so that molecular
death is 4 necessary part of daily life.
Somatic death is the death of the en-
tire individual, and is generally con-
s lered to take place at the moment of
cessation of circulation and respira-
ton. This is not an absolute test,
however, as several well-known cases
prove. Col. Townsend was peculiar
case of a man who could by the etfest
of his will voluntarily suspend these
functions for considerable time, while
the continuation of the circulation is
sometimes so difficult to determine
that even the eminent anatomist We
salius once opened an apparently dead
body and found the heart still beating.
A French author, Bruhier, in 1742, col
lected records of fifty-four persons who
had been wrongfully supposed to have
been dead.

JUST THE POOR MANS LUCK.
Usually the Person Who Can't Afford 1t
Needs Artificial Limbs.

Usually the Person Who Can't Afford 1t
Needs Artificial Limbs.
There are perhaps eight hundred
thousand men in this country who need
artificial legs or arms, and not more
than one hundred thousand of these
are supplied" 1t was a well known
maker of wooden legs who said this to
a New York Sun man. He was ward
ing off an appeal to his charity in
behalf of a locomotive fireman who had
slipped under his engine and been
badly crippled. "The fact is" he con-
tinued, st is always the poor man who
loses leg or an arm, now that the war
is over. Excepting the crippled veter-
ans who are kept supplied with legs by
the government, nearly every man who
loses a limb has to have help to get
new one"
But while the number of pensioners
on account of the war continues to in
crease with each increase in years since
that time of carnage, there is little
likelihood that the number of makers
of artificial legs will fall off much in
number. There are nearly two hun
dred of them now, large and small,
many of whom, having worked in one
of the larger factories, set up for them
selves and whittle out timber toes"
for unfortunates who cannot afford to
buy one of the improved legs.
The science of making wooden legs
and arms has in recent years almost
supplied the place of the natural MEM
bers that have been lost. There is al
that iG nlnGn6
to a man on account of his crippled
condition, and by the use of rubber
heel and toe it is made possible for
man to walk almost without percepti-
BILE impediment or limp in his gait. In
fact, a man with both legs gone can
now preserve his equilibrium and
walk about almost as well as any
other man.
The wood employed-wood being
lighter and stronger for this purpose
than any other material discovered
is willow or bass wood, and after it
has been seasoned and carved into the
proper form it is covered with rawhide
and enamel to strengthen and finish it.
With artificial arms and hands a
man may hold a fork drive a horse,
a fair hand There is a case of man
who lost both hands and one foot,
who now walks perfectly well and is
able with his artificial hands to grasp
light articles, open doors and feed
himself.
\ man with two artificial legs rides
horseback and can mount and dis
mount &adily, and another man has
even walked a mile in sixteen
minutes and fifty seconds, to beat the
wooden-leg record. Skating and bicy-
Gle riding are other accomplishments
and enjoyments from which some
men with artificial limbs are not de-
barred. 1t is is curious to note that,
according to the tables of percentages,
farmers are the greatest sufferers, II
per cent. of the cases of leg ampusa-
tions being found in their number,
while workers at the bench number
13 per cent, laborers s 1-2 per cent.
and railroad men but per cent.

Feeding Fat Into MIX.

The possibility of increasing the but
ter fat in milk by the food fed is being
much discussed in agricultural papers.
Many seem to think that this can be
accomplished by feeding fat, or foods
rich in fat This is mistake. Excess
of fat fed tends to decrease the percen-
tage of the butter fat of milk. When
acowis receivinga ration in which
digestible protein predominates in
such proportion as to exactly suit
her individual requirements, she
is then in fair way to make the larg-
est possible return in butter fat. Any
excess in her food of fat over her actual
requirement is hindrance, not help.
In most cases . per cent of fat in her
ration is sufficient. Dairymen gener-
ally do not realize how large percent
age of fat they are feeding when IN
addition to corn ensilage, cornfodder.
cornmeal, bran or oats, they also feed
old process linseed meal, cottonseed
meal or gluten meal.-Ohio Farmer.

pon.t Forret the Drainage.

IL is essential that the roadway
should be properly constructed with
reference to grading and ditching or
drainage. This is accomplished by ex-
cavating deep bitches at each side of
the roadway (where the road passes
through level land) aud the construc-
ton at intervals of wooden or stone
culverts or sluiceways. in order that
the surplus water may be turned aside
or conducted away from the roadbed.
When broken stone or cobblestone is
used as foundation, an excavation is
made in the center of the roadway be-
tween the two bitches to the depth of
several inches and as wide as may be
required to build the road. This ex-
cavation is filed with broken stone or
cobblestone, with the addition of sand
aud gravel, and when the roadbed is
completed it shows gradually sloping
sides from the center each way to the
bitches on the margin of the road.-St-
Louis Republic.

which is quite handy, shown at the

Der tube four feet long. This hose has

ARTIFICIAL PEARLS.
TIL Highly Ingenious Chinese Method of
Producing Gems To Suit.

Producing Gems To suit.
Tie processes by which the Chinese
produce artificial pearls are rs remark
able rs they are ingenious, says the
Washington Star This business con-
stitutcs quite IN important industry.
II Is confined to two villages in the
northern province of Chihkiang, which
Is III sills-producing region. In The
months of May and June large guam
titles Of mussels are brought in baskets
from a lake thirty miles distant. and
the biggest of the moliuslys are Sc
lectcd for the operation that is to be
performed.
Into the shell OF each mussel is in
troduced a number of small objects
which it is intended that the bivalve
shall coat with the pearly substance it
secretes. Sometimes little pills of
earth are used. Such pellets are made
of mud, taken from the bottom of
water courses, dried and powdered
with the juice OF camphor-tree seeds.
In the same way are employed dimin-
utivc images, usually of Buddha, but
often of fishes. They are made of lead,
east very thin by pouring the molten
metal upon a board which is carved
with the impressions.
To place these nuclei inside of the
mussels is a process of no little deli
cacy The she'll is usually opened with
a small instrument of motherof-pearl,
and the mantle of the animal if gently
lifted. At the same time the images
or pills are laid in two rows beneath

ted TO close. Finally the mollusks are
deposited in canals or pools five or six
inches apart, at depths of from two to
FIVE feet in lots of 5000 to $4,000.
IN November the musscls are col
leeted and opened. The animals are
removed from the shells ana the pei
lets or images are detached by a sharp
knife. BY this time they are fastened
tightly to the inner surface of the
shells and have become covered with n
coating of nacre. The next process is
to cut away the matrices of earth or
lead about which the artificial pearls
have formed. Into the cavity thus
made in each one is poured melted
yellow resin, and the orifice is artfully
covered over by a piece of mother-of-
pearl.
The pearls formed about the earth
en- pellets are fat on the bottom and
in shape are somewhat more than hemi-
spheres. They have much OF the luster
and beauty of the real gems, and are
sold at rate so cheap as to be procur-
able by all who care to possess them.
They are employed to a considerable
extent by jewellers, who set them in
tiaras and various ornaments of female
attire. Those made from images are
employed as ornaments and amulets
on the caps of children. A few shells
are sent to market with the pearls adj
herring, for sale to the curious or super
stitious.

"Well, to make a long story short,
the company succeeded beyond all our
expectations. Ny patent insulator did
not itself prove perfection as we had
hoped, but it secured priority for
principle which everybody who made
insulators was compelled to employ,
and the company earned large annual
revenue from many years from royal
ties, without the necessity of manu-
featuring a dollars worth OF material
for the market. My researches into the
matter of insulation led to other dis
coveries, all of which l turned to ac-
count for the company.

the roar of the storm had been lulled

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

IT will pay to give cows corn until
clover aftermath grows up.
Do NOT allow dairy cows to fall.o in
quantity of milk from short pastures.
A LARGE quantity of the butter pro-
duced in this country is spoiled by too
much churning and working.
Do NOT hurry cows to and from the
pasture. Dairy cows are sensible and
are much disturbed by harsh treat
ment.
lr probably costs about as much TO
feed a COW which produces $50 pounds
OF butter as one which makes 300
pounds.
FIRST class butter sells for good
price almost universally. 1t is only
the inferior grades which bring low
prices.
The progressive dairyman cannot af-
ford to use anything poorer than first
class bull. The future of his herd de-
pends upon him.
ONE of the principal points in making
a success of dairying is that of produe-
ing uniformly irst-class product dur
ing all seasons of the year.
In selling dairy products the mini-
mum quantity of fertilizing elements
leave the farm. DaiYymen usually
build up the fertility of their land.
BE careful to have good ventilation
in the dairy room during warm wealth
er. 1t can best be kept open or this
purpose at night when the air is coolest.
Ir pays to have careful mixers who
will be gentle with the cows and who
always milk clean. A man may easily
lose more than his wages by careless
milking.
CAREFULLY avoid foul odors and dirt
about the place of milking. Dur
ing very dry weather light gusts of
wind are apt to send dirt into the pail
while milking.
GOOD individual animals are Deeded
in building up a dairy herd. Test the
cows often to see what they are doing
If some herds were cut down in NAM
bers they would be more profita ble.-
