Jews En- Route to America.

WASHINGTON, June 0.-Superintend-
ent Stump Of the Bureau of Immigration
of the Treasury Department to-day de-
clined to give permit in advance for the
landing of 2,300 Jews from abroad. The
request was preferred by S. X. Klein,
who represents a syndicate engaged in
the colonization of 1000 acres Of land in
Utah.
Klein induced 1900 Jews in Bessarabia
and !Roumania to agree to come to colo
nlze land, but the steamship lines of Cor
many and France refused to transport
them unless permit was obtained in ad-

THE Supreme Court of California
has lately decided that it is unlawful
for a jury to arrive at the amount Of
damages to be assessed in a civil suit
bv taking an average of their various
estimates. Some time ago a young
lady Of San Francisco, was passing
along the street, and a chisel, falling
from scatfold where a carpenter was
at work, inflicted painful wound
upon her. She sued for damages, and
the jury found it hard to agree as to
the amount which she should receive
Every one had a different idea on the
subject, though they were all of the
opinion that she ought to have some
thing. They finally decided to make
an average of the sums which they
were inclined to award her, and hand
in the average as their verdict. They
told the Court how they had arrived
at their decision, whereupon an ap.
peal was taken, and the Supreme
Court decided that the verdict was
reached 'sby chance" and could not
stand Where the element of chance
enters into an average is not very
plain to an outside observer, but per-
haps the California solons know.

BARLEY as Hog Feed.

In Bulletin 20 of the Oregon Sta
ton some results are given Of expert
ments with barley as pig food. Bar
ley Is useful grain for pig feeding,
and it comes nearer maize than any
other grain, unless it is wheat.
Maize does not ripen we'll in Oregon.
and great quantities OF barley are
used for pig food. This is found to
be comparatively cheap, and swine
pastures are composed chiefly Of
pease, green corn, clover, and green
yetches. Wheat, oats, barley, and
screenings are used largely for fatten-
ing the hogs, and some cooked pota-
toes are also added to the general
food. AS result of this good past
uring and feeding 60 per cent of the
hogs slaughtered averaged $50 to 200
pounds; 80 per cent averaged 200 to
$50 pounds. The pigs are generally
fattened from twelve to eighteen
months, though they could be mark
eted much earlier.

The donkey "boy" is one of the
chief features Of Egyptian cities
He is not always lad. Some "boys"
are old enough to have big boys of
their own, but they are nearly all
active, and will run alongside their
donkeys for whole day and show
few signs of distress at the end of it.
Yet their food is only oil and bread
made Of maize and bean flour. Ex-
cept when ''doing" the Nile and the
more distant towns and ruins on its
banks. most of the Sightseeing in
Egypt is done on donkey back. The
animals are wonderful goerS One
curious habit their masters have.
Every time donkey commits tres

Thus it is quite common to see
donkey without any right ear at all
and with only fragment of the left.

Ensilage at the Fair.

Before building a silo. says Farm
and Home, every intelligent stock
raiser or dairyman should give the
subject careful study and investiga-
ton. For want of proper information
in this important particular the
building of a silo has often been an
experiment from start to finish. hence
1t is little wonder that an occasional
failure has been reported about the
,ilo and ensilagc feeding. The
Worlds Fair department of agricul-
ture, two years ago, began careful
Investigation of ensilage feeding and
after obtaining evidence from promi-
nent dairymen and stockholders
throughout the country, unanimous
decided that ensilage should be
given fair trial.
The important question Of the
kind of silo to use was settled by
the adoption of the round silo as ad-
vocated by the Wisconsin experiment.

You can prevent the juice of pies

In the ideal closet the hooks are
only four and one-half feet from the

experience with the intelligent bell
boy who ''calls" for the early train.

big humping on my door brought me
up sitting in bed.
"What is it?" asked.
" 'Boss!' said the darky, is you de
man who wants to 60 on dc 2 O'Clock
train to Big Sandy?"
II had left no call" and I made
that darky understand 80 in a few
short words He tackled the next
door, and heard him ask again:
/" Boss, is you de man what wants
to 60 on de 2 o'clock train to Big

"The answer was terrific. The
darky was awed. For some five
minutes he was still, as If absorbed
in thought. Then I heard him say
to himself, in an argumentative tone:
"'Dar's some 'un in dis hall who
wants to go on de o'clock train to
Big Sandy. I dun forget de num-
ber.'
HE went down the line repeating
the performance at seven doors before
he reached the man who wanted to
20 on de 2 o'clock train to Big
Sandy"
An Illinois man thought he could
parallel this evidence of sagacity.

The Laguna de Jaco Is a salt lake
in Mexico, for the development of
which a British company is now con-
structing railroad, says the Two
Republics. The waters of the lake
are intensely salt. carrying from
twenty-five to thirty per cent of
purity ranging from SO per cent. to
chemically pure chloride of sodium.
The depth of water Of the lake
ranges from three to thirty feet and
bears on top tough crust from three
to ten feet in thickness, composed of
silt, salt, soda, the various alkalies
and other impurities-the surface of
the crust being in wet weather a
mushy mass, and in the long dry
seasons carrying few inches of dry,
white spongy material, resembling
snow. Along the eastern shore of
the lake (the prevailing winds being
from the Fraile mountains in close
proximity Of the west) are many long
ridges and mounds of pure salt, re-
sembling ridges and dunes OF white
sand, while the lake itself can readily
be made to yield 500 tons per day Of
salt as pure as the verv best made
from sea water. The bottom of the
lake is of finely comminuted mud,
beneath which is a great bed OF rock
salt, the thickness of which is yet
unknown.

ATTACHING an electric motor to
the bicycle so as to save human mus
Gle is the latest novelty proposed. 1t
would do away with the objection OF
the Irishman to this mode of locomo-
tion, that he had 'as Left walk afut
as to ride afut." But to would-be
purchasers Of bicycles the improve.
ment most needed is great red uction
in price. Considering the material
in them, bicycles cost more than
almost any other vehicle. There is
competition in carriage making that
has brought down the. price. It is
time that competition among bicycle
manufacturers did as much for the
wheel. The man who rides on
wheel looks rather ridiculous, but he
must feel worse TO pay for the wheel
what the man who has a good horse
can procure covered carriage for.
To he sure, the carriage requires a
horse, and the horse is expensive to
keep but in the country at least it
pays its way, without counting the
rides it gives its owner and his fam
lily. That is one of the advantages
that the farmer has which is beyond
the reach OF the city resident with
like income, who must needs, if he
rides, "ride afut," as the lrishman
expressed it.

THE FINGER NAILS.


Important Reason Why the Tips Should
Be Kept Clean.
There is a common belief that the
finger nails are poisonous, which idea
is natural enough considering the
fact that scratches made by them are
generally quite irritable and much
inclined to unusual Inflammation.
The reasoning is erroneous, how
ever, for, as is known, the nails them
selves do not have any poisonous prop
critics The trouble excited by them
is due to the foreign deposits under
them. In other words, if one keeps
his finger nails clean, scratches caused
by them will be no more irritable
than those produced by any like in
strument that is considered innocent
The result of the examination
made in Vienna show that it is more
important that the finger nails be
kept clean than any would suppose
Seventy-eight were made, and there
were found thirty kinds of micro
cocci, eighteen different bacilli, and
three kinds of sarcenae, besides COM
mon mold spores were present in

easily poisoned. This led to extreme

part of all their assistants Before
an operation is performed all who

Properties Of the Pineapple.

A housewife who is fond of ex-
perimenting made one day delicious
snow pudding, favored with preserved
pineapple. 1t was served with a Gus
tard sauce, also favored with the
pineapple, the solid part of the pre-
serves being used for the pudding
and the syrup for the sauce. The
pudding was great success: and,
thinking to make it more delicious,
the next time the pudding was made
fresh uncooked pineapple was used,
and the pudding, which is prepara-
tfon of gelatine, whites of eggs, and
sugar, was beaten until Stiff and set
away in mould to harden. The
housewife, feeling sure of a dainty
dessert, waited with pride for the
sweet course of her dinner But alas,
when 1t came to her table it was
thin watery liquid, with bits Of pine
apple floating in it; pleasant enough
to the taste, but hardly delight to
the eye No one could explain the
mystery OF the disappearance of the
gelatine until scientific cook ex-
planned that chemists had recently
discovered that pineapple had won
derful digestive power, and that it
had probably consumed the gelatine.
The principle discovered has lately
been applied to a new preparation of
beef extract to be used for beef tea,
sauces, and soups. Its superiority to
other extracts Is based on the fact
that not only the extract of the beef,
but the solid meat fiber are a part of
it, being made soluble by pineapple
ferment.

when the grain is in the milk. The
bran is thinner then. and IL left to

on the stalk makes more vigorous
