a Place Where There Are Few Gtrilxes
Because of the Fate of Striker.
The Balubans, as the natives of
the Muansanyomma district of cen
trail Africa are styled, enjoy an ex-
cellent local reputation as ironwork-
ers. They find their crude material
in the form of bog iron ore on the
surface of the land 1t rarely hap
pens that digging to an appreciable
depth is necessary. Their smelling
furnaces, which are constructed of
clay, are from six to ten feet high,
from forty to sixty inches in diam.
eter at the base and conical in shape.
The ore is tipped into the furnace
from above; the charcoal, on the other
hand, is introduced into basinlike
side openings, which also receive a
continuous air blast, while the iron
and Stag are removed from the bot
tom of the furnace about every eight
or twelve hours, according to the de,
gree of heat obtained.
The forge is circular building
some sixteen feet in diameter, with
pointed roof and open sides. At a
distance it might be taken for a park
band stand. In the center of this
hut is the fire, which is maintained
in constant activity by means of a
unique pair of bellows, which merit
a special description. They consist
of block of wood, generally twenty
inches long, followed out and fitted
with a funnel head made of clay.
At the lower end are two orifices,
over which skins are stretched. Mo-
ton is impaired to the instrument
by the action of two small rods.
The hammer is of solid iron; the
tongs are marvels of simplicity-to
wit, bent palm branch. An iron
wedge driven into a timber bole
serves as an anvil.
The recollections of the Balubans
carry them back to the time when
they wrought metals with stone
tools. Some of the natives are COM
paratively artistic workers. Very
fine axes, tastefully inlaid with cop
per, are produced.
Strikes among these swarthy arti-
fcers are of comparatively rare oc-
ourrence, probably owing to the fact
that the malcontentsi invariably have
their heads Topped off and their skins
placed ON one side for patching, or

A writer for the National Stocknan
says he had four sows last spring that
rated as follows mo. ], grade Poland
China, farrowed fourteen pigs ON the
21st, of last March and lost six OF
them on account OF severe cold wealth
er. The remaining eight were kept
until the first of November and sold,
weighing 1900 pounds. At 81 cents
per pound they brought $72.45. The
sow dropped eight pigs more on the
10Th of last September, aud is bred to
farrow again on the 9th ofnext March
These eight pigs are now worth $500
per pair, $40, making total Of $92.45.
No. 2 was a.tull blood Poland-China
and farrowed 10 pigs on the % of
March and lost two of them on
account of cold weather. The remain
ing eight were kept until the first OF
December when they weighed 1886
pounds. AT 81 cents per pound they
brought $9752. The sow was also
tatled and sold at the same time
weighing 352 pounds, at 6 cents per
pound equals $21.l2, making total
of $l1S.64.
No 3 was grade Poland-China and
farrowed eleven pigs OH the 9th of last
April aud did well. All were fatted
and sold OH first of November, weigh
ing 1910 pounds. At 81 cents per
pound they brought $I09S2. The
SOW farrowed twelve more pigs on the
trst of October and all did well are
worth $500 per pair, equal to $50.
making a total of $139.S2. The sv
is due to farrow again on the 9th of
April next.
No. 4 is grade Chester White and
farrowcd IL pigs on gthe End Of
last April. All did well, were fatted
and sold on the LIST of November,
weighing 1,S4S lbs. At 81 cents per
pound they brought Slo5.26. The sow
narrowed fifteen more pigs on the 10Th
of December. -, Four of these died
leaving eleven that are worth $1.50
each, or SIG 80, making total of
$l2l.75. All our young stock is full
blooded Poland-China. These hogs
had slim pasture and ate about two
tons of mill feed up to the 18th of
September, after winch time they had
plenty of corn until sold. l did not
keep any account OF the corn. but we
are of the opinion that we made more
clear money on hogs than amy other
live stock on the farm.

Timorousness of Great Men.

1t has been recently stated by those
who knew him well that Mr.. Spur
geon was an example Of the fact that
public men often quake on the eve of
their great successes. Though few
guessed it, he was nervous in speak
ing, and one result of the disastrous
panic at the Surrey Gardens in. 1856
was that he ever afterward dreaded
excitement in great audiences. AT
the Free Trade hall in Manchester,
1872, the orator was in bl!oyant and
brilliant form. Yet before delivering
his address he had been attacked by
nervous sickness in the anteroom.
AS we have suggested, this curious
preliminary recoil seems to be fire.
quent characteristic of the efforts
that establish or increase fame.
Inquiry shows that some form of
nervousness dogs distinction like its
shadow. l. may have peculiar and
even eccentric features. Mr.. Ed
mund Yates has mentioned the case
of distinguished living politician,
noted for his dash and aplomb while
in the house of commons, to whom
on one occasion Sir Henry Halford,
the eminent physician, gave an ac-
count of a railway accident. The
narrator was elaborate in his descrip-
ton, and it was too much for his
listeners nerves. In the midst of
the story the doctor had to break off.
His friend was on the point of faint
ing.-Cassell's Journal.

Fruits and Vegetables in Cellars.

Apples and vegetables that have
been stored in the cellar in boxes
barrels, or upon shelves, should be
sorted over at least twice during the
winter, and all injured, decayed, or
decaying specimens removed. In the
case of apples, where only a decayed
spot is found, the remainder will be
utilized by the economical housewife
for culinary purposes, especially If the
fruit be scarce. Vegetables should be
carefully looked over, particularly
potatoes, as the emanation from the
decaying ones are positively unhealth-
fnl, and decayed tuber intects its
neighbor---Am. Agricultural.

Cover Manure Piles.

That there is little fermentation of
manure iii winter is sometimes given
as reason for having it exposed to the
elements. But fermentation ought 10
be in progress, and in large heaps it
usually is. Often, indeed, piles of
horse manure are often burning to ash
in the centre, while the outside is a
mixture of manure and snow that b,
partial thawing and then freezing has
become ice. The covered manure pile
avoids this evil. 1t may need extra
care to prevent waste of ammonia. but
all stables should in fall be supplied
with dry earth for this purpose. Coal
ashes are good for covering frrment-
ing manure piles if earth cannot be
had. 1t is possible by keeping fresh
manure covered, and by composing
it, to double its effective value for the
coming season. Hardly any labor on
the farm pays better than that requir-
ed to do this.-Am. Cultivator.

ToPIc.-Sending portions TO others. What
have we sent7 Neh. viii, 10; Acts Ill, so.
In the eighth chapter Of Nehemiah we
have the record Of the first observance of
the feast of tabernacles after the re-
turn of the Israelites from captivity.
On the first day Ezra, the scribe, assem-
bles the people into the street and reads
and explains the law to them. The peo-
pie are much affected and expressed
their feelings in tears and sorrow. But
the leaders of Israel said unto them:
"This day is holy unto the Lord your
God. Mourn not nor weep, for all the
people wept when they heard the words
of the law. Then he said unto them,
Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the
sweet and send portions unto them for
whom nothing has been preparsd." This
is the keynote of our topic la Acts iii.
so, we see Peter and John, in the name
of Christ. bestowing the blessing OF
strength upon the lame man.
/. Temporal portions (Neh. viii, 10y.
Man has twofold nature-ph5sical and
spiritual. He has both body and
soul. Each las its needs. Thdbody has
its needs. God has recognized tlfsen needs.
In all parts of the world he bps placea.
in natures realm that which aJlo to
satisfy the temporal wants OF bal, he
bids us all to pray for tempfAl bless
ings. God has provided sufhpent fool

and yet in al ages of the worldthe same
condition is found avs was seh in Jeru-
salem on the first feast day. kome hal

So Nehemiah instructs thos9wno have
plenty to send portions to tho4 who had
nothing. This should be an Example to
U.S. If we have been blessedwith tem-
poral blessings, we should share tho4n SO
far as possible with our less fortunat,
brothers. This is pleasing to fod. brings
q blessing to the needy and tdthose who
relieve their want.
2. Spiritual portions (Acb iii, 5-9)
A lame beggar asks aims q Peter ana
John. They have no gold AMI silver, but
they make him richer gift They cure
his lameness and thereby lad him to
God through Christ. This ifident may
well represent the bestowinJ pf spiritual
portions. The soul also hashts needs "a
well as the body. God hS made pro-
vision for our spiritual watts. But, az
is the case 18th the bodywhile soiGc
have many 'piritual blessings Others
have none. Trmany the plarpf salvation,
the story of jesus love, is dmany times
told tale. Others have neer heard OF
either. The very name OF Iesus is un.
known to them. What ned, then, for
those who have these spifual portions
in abundance to send themto those who
have them not. God commands us to

Getting out stumps and stones.

Winter is good time to blast stump
and stones that have long been in the
way, though it is better if prepara-
tion has been made before the ground
is frozen solid by digging over them.
Care is required in handling dynamite
but most of the fatalities from its use
results from prcsumptuous careless
ness which those long familiar with
explosive are too apt to learn. A
stump or stone once well out of the
way is out OF the way forever, and the
thorough working the soil gets in that
place makes it rich spot for many
years. 1t may not pay directly in
dollars and cents. Very few farmers
there are who do not do some things
that do not pay them. 1t is better to
spend an afternoon in winter clearing
away an eyesore from fertile field
than to spend time and money loung-
ing around the village grocery OF
hotel.-Am. Cultivator.
