Danger From Mental Shocks.

It appears from the recent discus
sions of the pan-American medical con-
gress that there is much less fatality
attending night than day accident
On the rail. Many expert surgeons de-
clared that this was the case, and at
tributed the difference to the mental
strain, which is much greater by day
than it is when darkness wells the hor-
rors of the scene. The mental shock,
the railway surgeons say, is greatest
where through the sense of sight the
injured is conscious for a few moments
of approaching danger. The case of
the brakeman who, while making fly
ing switch, catches his foot in the frog,
is q good illustration. He cannot tear
himself loose. He sees the loose car
coming down, and knows what is going
to happen. The mental shock to that
man makes his condition much worse
than that of man whose foot is caught
and crushed so suddenly that he does
not have time to appreciate the i'm
pending danger. The railway sur
geons say that many fatalities occur
for which this mental shock IS respOn-
sible, rather than the physical injury.
They say that experience proves in
juries at night to be less likely to prove
fatal. They account for this by the
fact that the injured has not been able
to comprehend what was coming, as
he might have done in the daytime.

THE EXCELLENT LIMA BEAN.

The Lima bean is the best favored
and largest variety of the bean family,
vet it is not raised for the market in
any large quantities on account Of the
trouble and expense of getting poles
for them. The villager has to buy
poles for what he plants, and the sum
expended for them often exceeds the
income from the vines. Those farmers
who have timber on their land are gen
orally too busy, or think they are, to
bother with pole beans, 50 they plant
some of the bush varieties that are not
half SO good in flavor and yield very
poorly. For the benefit of those who
like Lima beans and do not raise them
because of the trouble of providing
with poles, we give the following plan
of q trelis, which answers every pur-
pose fully rs we'll as the old method:
If they are to be raised on a large
scale two heavy posts may be set at in
tervals of forty feet, the full length Of
the row, being sure to brace the end
ones Then plain wire is stretched
from post to post. AS the vines are
very heavy, it is best to strengthen it
by putting two or three pieces of ordi-
nary three-inch boarL Then loop a
strand Of package Irvine from the top
wire to the lower one. These twines
should be about sixteen inches apart.
Very little trouble is experienced i'll
making the vines follow the wires, and
no tying is necessary. This trellis will
last many years, and we think it is
great Improvement over the poles. -

The the Guatemalans claim that for fa--or
their coffee is the best In the world. To sd-
vertise II to the American people they have
built pavilion by their building, where they
serve Guatemala coffee to the music OF the
marimba. In the center of the building IS
an open court, where about a fountain Is
displayed the exhibit of the fora of the coun-
try. Pictures are hung about the balcony
which show the principal places in the city
of Guatemala and the other large towns.
Along the Pacific coast of the republic
there is a line of volcanic peaks the loftiest
of which is that OF Tajumulco, which Is over
IA. 400 feet above the level of the sea. The
land of Guatemala is dotted with lakes. some
OF which are very large. The population OF
the country in 1892 was $40, 326. More than
two-thirds of these people are Indians, the
other part being Ladinos, descendants of the
white race and mixture of Europeans and
Indians. The Indians for the most part are
devoted to agriculture, while the Ladinos
are engaged In commercial pursuits. Guat-
emala is one of the most fertile of the Central
or South American republics. Without cul-
tivation pineapples, oranges. bananas, lem
ons, anona. zapote and almost all kinds OF
tropical fruits are produced In the north
eastern and southwestern parts of the coun-
try are vast forests. Gold, copper. iron and
silver mines are worked with great gains.
All of the South American republics have
courted immigration In emulation of the
United States. but most OF them without
very bright results.
Guatemala is ruled by political code
which was adopted in 1879 and in part re-
vised in 1885. The President is elected d.
rectly by the people. His term of office is
six years, and by the constitution he is not
allowed to succeed himself. The legislative
branch of the Government is constituted by
an assembly, the members Of which are
elected by the people. The President ap-
points MS cabinet Of six secretaries, in charge
of departments OF foreign affairs, interior
and iusti5-. public works, war, treasury and
posed of q chief Justice and a supreme court,
and the system is very similar to that of the
United States.

that are stocked with COWS are slowly
being depleted of their original fertll-
itv, and brush and weeds take the
place of nutritious grasses.
A short time since the writer passed
through hillv town where sheep rails
ing was formerly the lea ling farming
industry, but after the collapse OF the
Merino boom the farmers changed from
sheep raising TO dairyin2, and for the
past ten or twelve years cheese making
has been their specially. For few
wears this line of farming was profit
able. The pastures furnished an abun-
dance Of feed and the COWS gave "
good flow of milk with small cost. But
things have changed. Many of the
pastures now are over1rown with weeds
and bushes, and produce but little
good feed. Farmers are obliged to
buy large quantities of grain to keep
up the flow of milk through the sum-
mer months. The grain bills absorb
the profits and keep the farmers III
financial straits all of the time. The
only practicable way out is to try sheep
raising again for few years.
Last spring turned flock of sheep
into pasture that was SO overrun with
weeds and daisies as to furnish but
little feed for cattle. To-day not
weed or daisy is to be seen, and the
sheep and lambs which are long wooded,
Costwold and Leicester, have done
finely. In two or three years I expect
the pasture will be entirely free from
weeds and daisies and ready for cattle
again. A good flock of sheep we'll
cared for should net the owner at least
ST. so per head i'll wool and lambs, and
with special care much more may be
realized; allowing fifty cents per head
for grain would give you a return of
81 per head of cash i'll hand. In the
town referred to the annual average
receipts for the milk of the COWS at the
cheese factory is about $50 per COW
and from this must be subtracted the
grain feed. New England Farmer.

Raising Foxes in Alaska.

For the purpose of perpetuating the
fast vanishing fur supply of Alaska
certain enterprlslng persons have gone
into the business of breeding blue and
black foxes on uninhabited islands
along that coast. When the seals have
been finally exterminated the world.
may still look to that region for some
of the most valuable and beautiful
pelts known
The Smeda Propegating Company
has recently stocked number of isl
ands with foxas, and the Investment
IS beginning to yield handsome res
turns. The lands thus employed are
valueless for anything else, being
wholly barren. The breeding of blue
foxes has already been made very sue
cessful on one of the Pribylof Islands
that OF st. George-in Boring Sea.
Of their increase ten thousand have
been killed and skinned for market.
One advantage of this industry is that
1t involves no expense for the care or
feeding OF the animals. All that is re-
qulred Is to let loose P few pairs. Those
of them which are taken must at all
times be trapped and not shot. Thus
they become exceedingly tame in the
course of few generations. In the
same region there are red, white and
cross foxes. Skins of the last named
variety, which is supposed to be a
cross between the red and the black,
are quoted at from S. to So wholesale.
The white and red pelts are worth only
about 81 apiece, because, though they
are very beautiful, they are much
more common and easily obtain
able. Black foxes are SO rare rs to be
hard TO procure for breeding purposes.

Frogs Fond of Wasps.

has disappeared. drawn into the frogs
mouth by a single dart of his long
tongue. Occasionally the wasp reap
pears, wholly or partially, having
made it unpleasant for the frog; but
he is almost always swallowed In the
end. Usually convulsive movements
may be noticed in the frogs throat and
body, as though the process of deglutl-
tion were not quite easy but that they
like the diet is evident from the fact
that single smallish frog has been
known to take three wasps one after
another. Indeed, it is remarkable
what very small frogs, quite infants,
will swallow wasp with avidity. This
afternoon tiny frog swallowed full
grown wasp, when a big relative went
for him quite savagely, like big
schoolboy thrashing a small one for
presuming to be helped before him.

STORM STRICKEN SOUTH.
AWFUL WORK OF WIND AND
WATER ON THE GULF.

The Dead Estimated at Fully Two
Thousand-GreatS Suffering Among
the SurvIvors-Immedi Relief
Needed-The Stricken District to
be Abandoned as a Habitation.
A late dispatch from New Orleans, La.
says The news from every section stricken
by the storm makes it safe TO estimate the
loss of life at fully 1000, while property worth
millions of dollars was destroyed. Besides
that, thousands of people have been deprived
of the means of making livelihood. The
situation is appalling, but New Orleans is
doing all it can to relieve the thousands in
want. DIR. Story, Coroner of Plaquemine
Parish. has made the following report
"A good many carloads of provisions and
clothing have been sent. but not near
enough. Men, women and children ara
without food and clothing. 1t Is a frequent
sight to see little sufferers crying and beg
ging piteously for something to eat. Single
graves for the dead were impossible. Great
trenches were dug and bodies were piled in
one on top of the other. The earth was
thrown over them, and If their names were
ascertained they were cut in rude crosses
above the graves. l do not think l exag.
gerate the facts when l state that at least
$500 souls were ushered into eternity by the
recent storm in Louisiana. This, of course,
includes those at Bayou Cook, Cheniere
Caminada, Grand Isle, etc. l never saw
bodies decompose so rapidly as those of the
storm sufferers which were viewed by me-
This was due to the fact that the fish and
crabs in the bayous eat the remains. | be-
lieve firmly that the marshes and other places
are filled with human forms.
1T is impossible TO get at these however,
as no one is adventurous enough to explore
the swamps. There can be no doubt of the
fact that this is conducive to an epidemic of
fever or even cholera. II one case of the
latter disease should develope it would
spread through the country like widire but
nothing can be done to prevent this"
The relief party which set out from Biloxi
tells an awful story of the restitution and
loss of life in the Louisiana marshes. The
marshes are filled with dead and putrefying
bodies. in very few cases the corpses being
recognizable. The number of lives lost on
these marshes will never be known. The
territory covered was distance of 200 miles
Newly made graves were everywhere. The
only sign of life seen in the marsh was one
raccOon, and it was floating on a log. Hun
dreds of oyster boats and luggers were lost
with most of their crews, and the few sur
vivors tell terrible stories of suffering Most
of them were nude when found.
Captain Julian Lefort, the leading spirit
among the survivors of the Cheniere Camin-
ada places the number of saved at 800. The
population of the island and the bayous i'm
mediately connected with it was slightly
more than 1900. He says it will be abandoned
a habitation of man. Grand Isle and
Chemedeleur will also be abandoned.

Egypt Has Banished the BastinadO.

educated in the French Military School
at ST. Cyr, and speaks French like a

bastinado was still inflicted in the po-
lice courts of Egypt he denied it en-
phatically, and said that any police
man of that land who dared to strike
citizen would be punished very Sc
verely. cit is expressly prohibited,
he said. "Our police are organized to
prevent violence, and not to have re-
course to it. And i'll that connection
| am glad to learn that the New York
police are prohibited the use of the

punishments have long gone by, and
for many years we have been governed
by the code Napoleon. Our punish
ments are simply fine and imprison-
ment for ordinary offenses, the gal
leys, where the convicts work in chain
gangs, for graver crimes, and the cap
ital penalty for murder, which, how
ever, is more rarely inflicted year

RAISING CALVES.

q calf to each COW can be raised on
skim milk and little additional food.
A calf may be fed skim milk when one
week old, with the addition of one gill
of boiled faxseed, increasing this ra-
ton gradually to pint per day when
four weeks old, and then adding fine
middlings or corn and oats ground to-
gether, or pint to one quart of oats
unground.
Flaxseed Cruel, with plenty of skim
milk, will produce very fine growth,
leaving the calf as mellow to the touch
as if sucking the COW. A calf two
months old will gain three pounds per
day on this ration. The oil taken off
in the cream can be replaced for one
fifth of the money value of the cream.
Butter dairymen may raise u calf to
each COW upon the skim milk and q
little additional food us indicated, and
get Onc-fourth to One-third rs much
profit ont of the butter. Selling but
ter robs the land of nothing valuable
only carbon, which has no manural
