The Hindoo of Calcutta does not rep

sents an altogether novel phase OF
thought, which is gradually making
Itself felt, and is the chief character
lstic of what has been dubbed Young

less Europeanizcd Hindoo. The supple
mind of the Bengalese could not long
remain impervious to the influence OF

class, awaking aspirations and am

society has sprung up, of what may be
termed Anglicized Indians, which So

from the elite of the native popula-
tion; the higher castes, who cling to
| their traditions and retain their pride
of race, are generally faithful to the
culture of the past. The masses who
make up Young India are not attached
to European civilization by any sense
of its superiority or by intellectual
curiosity, but in search of remuner-
ative appointments. To get one
of the inferior situations under
government which are open to
native baboos it is necessary to be able
to speak and write English, and every
one anxious to secure thirty rupees a
month in some Office rushes to the uni
versities and public schools. Three

Sulphur for Ticks IN Cows.

Speaking of the screw worm the Mis-
sissippi station says that nearly one
half the cases in cattle occur when
ticks have been crushed. The great
trouble is that cattle are not kept free
from these pests. The old manner of
killing the ticks by the application Of
kerosene, sulphur or tobacco requires
more time than the average stock raiser
can give, and when the ticks are de-
stroyed in this way it is but short
time before they are again abundant.
The method of combating with ticks
practiced by this station is by feeding
sulphur with the salt. A covered
trough is made in one corner of the
pasture, and in this is kept quantity
of sulphur and salt. about half and half.
When the supply is nearly exhausted
the trough is retilled and thus the cat
tie can get it whenever they may wish.
Some claim this will cause rheumatism
during wet weather, but no such re-
suits have ever bee n noticed, and when
thus given the sulphur will keep the
cattle free from the ticks.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
The Most Remarkable Curiosity Anon
Apples Yet Recorded.

The Most Remarkable Curiosity Among
Apples Yet Recorded.
Although the effect of the root-sto
on grated fruit is well known general
ly, yet there is continual inquiry on
the subject. The freak of nature, or
probably the natural result of grating,
referred to here, may be interesting as
well as instructive.
On ''grecning" tree was grated
some scions from a ''sweeting'' tree.
Not an apple from the scions was all
sweet or all sour, but every apple was
both sweet and sour in nearly equal
proportions. Half of an apple might
be sweet and the other half sour; or
there might be several sweet parts and
alternately as many sour parts. the skin
of the latter being green and that of
the former yellow.
The sweet and sour parts of every ap-
Pile were shaped like the parts of an
orange, and it was possible to cut a
slice of sweet and then q slice of sour
apple until the whole apple was divided
into equal parts In cooking the apples
baking them for ''apples and milk
the sour parts of an apple were cut out
and slices from another sweet apple in
serted, and the whole when baked was
like an apple originally all sweet

ABOUT THE scUPPERNoNe.

Experience of a German viticulturist in
the South.
Upon the subject of fruit growing in
the south the Farmer and Fruit Grower
says: The southerners are just begin
ming to learn that handsome profits
may be made by the skillful cultivation
of fruits. Some who have been aware
of this for several years have not had
the means to change from the old
routine of raising cotton, cane, etc, A
German writer states that he was born
and raised in one of the best wine dis
tricts on the Rhine, and had worked in
vineyards twenty years before his re-
:noval to the United States. Over here
he engaged in the energetic cultivation
of the escuppernongs, and had had twen-
ty years experience in this before he
wrote. Comparing these with the vines
of Germany, he states that the latter
yielded only one fine crop in five years,
and that two crops out of five would
be poor. He began planting fifteen
feet apart, and increased the distance
to twenty-five; then to thirty-fve, and
lastly to fort-fivc. II may be re-
marked how different this from bunch
or staked grapes, at SIN feet apart each
way, which, we believe, is the distance
in the vineyards along the Ohio. A few
dozen scuppernongs will cover an acre;
while it takes thousands of the Euro
pean grapes. He found that the greater
distance he gave the better for the
| vines, the quality Of the juice and the
quantity produced. He fertilized only
| every other year, and this was done by
trench a spade deep and two spades
wide, just outside of the reach of the
branches, and filling it with rich com
post. The grapes We're gathered by
four men holding u canvas and shaking
the vines over it with the back of a
rake; five men could thus gather 1O0
bushels in day when the vines had
been we'll trained from the beginning.

THE ROMAN CARNIVAL.
Its Different Stages from the Fifteenth
Century to the Present Day.

Its Different Stages from the Fifteenth
Century to the Present Day.
1t is curious to note how all writer's
insist upon the carnival as specially
popular festival, for though the people,
of course, took their part as spectators
and jostled and jested with each other
in a struggling mass in the Corso, still
it was eminently n feast provided for
them by the aristocracy. The people
had little more to do with the active
part of it than the rank and file of the
Achpans and Trojans had to do with
! the Homeric battles, for much money
had to be spent upon it.
In 1899 Sebastiano Pinzoni writes:
''The Roman aristocracy hold high fes-
tival, and it goes badly with such as
have no money" In 1884 the jousts
which Cardinal Antonio Barberini ar
ranged, with dresses and one thing and
another cost more than $4,000 scudi.
Especially in the races for Barbary
horses up the Corso there was always
great emulation among the noblest
houses in Rome, and the mobiles would
hang mp the banners which were the
prizes, in their private chapels. Thus,
tho middle of the eighteenth century,
we find all the most aristocratic names
in Rome on the list of winners.
Near the end of the last century their
| interest was on the wane, for Goethe
saws that in 17SS the horse races We're
no longer confined to the aristocracy,
| but the middle and lower classes also
tool: part in them: 'The great men are
parsimonious; they hold aloof from the
proceedings;" a great contrast with
| 1901, when, according TO Casanova, "all
that was noblest and most brilliant in
Rome mixed freely with the common
people." From which it would seem
that in the scventeeth and eighteenth
centuries the rich spent freely, and
made the real carnival for the poor;
but to-day the positions are reversed,
and the poor spend all the money to
make carnival of quite different
kind for themselves, in which the ele-
ment OF speculation plays a prominent
part, and the aristocracy, rs a rule, ig-
more the whole proceeding, though Wis
itors contribute largely toward its ex-
penses by hiring balconies and other
wise taking part in what is to them a
novelty.
AS things go ut present, it is not
likely to improve; n good carnival costs
too much money, and the aristocracy
hold their carnival in their private
houses and palaces. The carnival at
Nice, with it's battle of flowers, is made
by the rich visitors, and the American
carnival at New Orleans is by no means
a festival made by the people.

FARM AND GARDEN.
LIGHT ROAD MACHINE.
A New York Mans substitute for the
Heavy Horse Killers"

Heavy Horse Killers"
Regardless OF the compulsion Of the
law, self-interest in every rural commu-
nifty demands good roads. They in
crease the facility for marketing prod
uce, save in horse flesh and wagon re-
pairs, attract money-spending summer
visitors and enhance the value of prop
erty. The macadam and similar sys-
TENS are unquestionably the best, al
though rather costly at first. But un-
fortunately in many country towns the
usual method of roadmaking consists of
blowing up the loan, clay, gravel and
turf and scraping it up toward the CEN
ter OF the highway, with more or less
bungling attempts at smoothing. Spe-
cial machines for this purpose have
been devised, some of them heavy and
cumbrous, weighing from 1000 to 5000
pounds needing from four to six horses
or oxen to operate them, and so expan-
sive as not to be turned around easily
on narrow road. They are costly in
more ways than one, not merely to the
town or district which buys them, but
to the owners of horses which are
hitched thereto in service. Hence the
columbia county, N. w man and rep
resented herewith, may, perhaps, fill a
long-felt want in many parts of the
country. Only single sample has
been built, but it has been practically
tested. Its weight is only 400 pounds
It needs only pair of horses, can turn
easily anywhere, and the inventor
claims that it does better work and
does it more easily than anything else
of the kind.
AS will be seen from the accompany
ing picture, the machine is mainly sup
ported by one wheel. the axle of which
is secured to section of anglo-iron
that serves as continuation of the
pole, and resembles a plow beam. The
wheel is flanged, in order to make II
run exactly in the line of draft. A
tendency to shift to one side results
from the angle at which the scraper
blade is set with the beam. A stay-rod
shown herewith, maintains this angle
and it may be used, in cooperation with
the beam, to sustain a drivers seat. The
scraper-blade is six feet long, ant
tapers from nine to twelve inches il
! width. Bolted on to the lower half o
its front surface are two cast-iror
| plates, or shears The rear lever is uset
to change the level of the surface o

A wet cellar is one of the worst OBJ

farm. II can be of little value in any
case, and will cause disease among the
animals. II is therefore worth much
labor to make it dry. This may be
done by cutting ditch around the
whole building, and deeper than the
bottom of the cellar. This ditch must
extend from the surface of the ground
down below the bottom of the cellar.
1t must be made by removing all the
earth from the outside of the cellar
wall, SO as to make it a foot or more in
width. This ditch, being foot or
