DR.. Lombross, the well known
physician, agrees with the contention
of other European medical men, made
public few months ago, that all an.
archists and communists are demented.
He finds that a propensity to revolu-
tion is merely demonstration OF in
sanity and should be treated in the
same way as other forms of lunacy.
He thinks the advocates of destruG.
tion of governments and the distribu-
tion of property, if placed under re-
straint somewhere and properly treat
ed, would in the course of time be-
come as lucid and sensible as other
people. After certain investigations,
DR.. Lombross discovers also that rev.
olutions occur chiefly in warm coun-
tries, and during summer. The heat
stirs up the blood and excites the
brain. The thermometer is really the
thing to be looked to for explanation
of many social phenomena and he
thinks it true, as the ancient sages
thought, that the dog star sets men
mad as we'll as dogs. To illustrate his
theory, the doctor shows that of near
ly 200 popular outbreaks in Europe,
covering France, Italy and Greece,
there were thirty.two in June and
twelve in November, and the summer
averaged three times as many as the
colder seasons,

FOR FARM AND GARDEN
HOW TREES ARE SPRAYED.

Trees are sprayed to protect them
from various insects and bIghts by
means Of a force pump, with rose
nozzle--that is, broad one pierced
with small holes. This sends out II
fine spray that covers the leaves and
fruits with the various poisonous mix
lures used for this purpose. The mix
tnre for insects is paris green in
water, one tablespoonful to barrel
OF water; for veg table parasites II
solution of SUI phate Of copper and
lime in water is used Fom ounces
OF the copper sulphata and six of lime
are dissolved in gallon OF water for
each, the two solutions are mixed and
strained, and three gallons Of water is
added. The liquid must be carefully
strained or it will not pass through
the nozzle. New York Times.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Keep an eye on the market reports.
Good farming can only come from
rich land.
Attend the Farmers Institutes.
Keep in touch with the advanced IDEAS
of the day.
A good brood SOW is one OF the
most profitable animals on the farm;
treat her as such.
A well.stocked farm is easier kept
in productive condition. \ fertile soil
is essential to good farming.
Plan your days work in the morn-
ing or over night; You will find that
much more can be accomplished.
No one who has tried burying up
raspberry canes for winter ever thinks
of following any other plan there
after.
Because sheep are natural cleaners
and can live on the wastes Of the farm
do not conclude that they can live on
nothing.
Diversified farming is the safest,
But give the most attention to the
crops that pay the best, if any discrim-
inatiou is made.
The sheep is the small farmers friend
because with them they can convert
into n good product much that would
otherwise go to waste.
Don't try to make money with a
low quail Y of stock. If you do, no
matter how well you feed, the returns
will not he satisfactory.
Begin right by getting good stock,
and continue right by giving them
good food and proper care. This is
good management-and the only road
way to success,
Cut clover mixed with grain meal is
more digestible than the grain alone.
A small quantity of the clover will
prevent the grain from clogging and
heating the stomach.
Interest the boys in the farm, by
either giving them land to manage or
stock, as their own, and then do not
rob them of their just due. Pay your
boys something for their labor, and
You will not have to tie them to q
tree to "keep them on the farm"

Tidal.Waye Electricity.

Until Tesla practically developes
his idea--and he doubtless will-of de-
riving our electric energy direct from
the elements surrounding us without
the wasteful intervention of steam,
ordinary mortals must be content with
the powers at hand for generating the
magic current. The latest we know
of is that of n coast resident near Chel-
sea, England, who has harnessed the
sea in tidal mill to the extent of
about four horsepower, which runs a
dynamo supplying electric current for
lighting his house and for other pur-
noses.

BLANCHING CELERY.

OF all the different details that have
to be gone through in raising vegeta-
bles, perhaps none need the care, at
tention and system as that of blanch-
ing celery. A splendid crop may lose
the best part of its goodness simply
by being blanched in shiftless man.
ner, while another crop that has not
had the advantage of fertile soil and
clean cultivation can be improved fifty
per cent. during the blanching pro-
cess, if it is only done in careful
and Intelligent way. The idea of
blanching is to get the celery into
white anil crispy condition before
marketing or using it on the home
table. This is done by keeping the

The stomach of young calf cam
not digest starchy foodunless the food
is well boiled. Food that is not di-
gested must necessarily cause disor-
der of the bowels and fail to afford
any nutrition, so that to give raw,
storchy food is equivalent to poison
ing the young animal. When it is at
tempted to rear young calf that il
only Il few days DID, the food should
be thoroughly well boiled, and the
starch thus rendered digestible or he
partly changed into muciage, which
Is soluble III the stomach. An old
fashioned but excellent way Of pre-
pairing food for weaving calf is to
take quart Of flour and tie it loose.
Iy in cloth and boil it for four or
five hours. The long boiling changes
the starch into kind of sugar, which
is Indispensable to the digestion Of the
rest of it, fermentation of the starch
OF the food in the stomach of an ami
mai produces acid, and this produces
all those symptoms of Indigestion so
well known, and which result in diar-
arrhea and painful cramps and
spasms. This flour so treated be-
comes hard mass, which when cold
and dried, is grated and the meal
hot water and sugar, 50 as to form
milklike fluid, which the calf will
drink. i the whole wheat flour is
thus used, and small proportion of
linseed added to it, and the liquid
thus made is strained and little salt

all the needed elements of nutrition.
1t should he given in small quantities,
and rs soon as it is swallowed the resi-
due that has been strained ont of it
should be tied into a cloth shaped like
teat, and fastened, so that the calf
can suck it. This is necessary that
the secretion of saliva should be en-
couraged, as this is indispensable to
the digestion of the food, and the
drinking of this or any other artiti-
cial food, does not excite this secre-
tion. New York Times.

Cunning in the Old Days in Maryland.

From October to April those easy
going gentry turned their backs on
tillage, and found all their joy in
hunting and cunning. If the single.
barreled fint-locks hung on wooden
hooks in the walls of the hall or the
dining-room, one might tell off the
men and boys in a. family, while the
fox hounds, water-dogs, and pointers
that romped in tlie court yard were to
be reckoned with the horses and the
guns. When the young master mount
ed his nag and called his dogs for a
weeks sport in the woods or along the
watercourse, he took but small
thought for the roof that should lodge
him at nightfall,- or the supper that
might be spread, for he knew there
was a light in the window for him in
every house in the county. Old

Miss W. ungraciously signifed her
assent, and the pair hurried of to the
shop with feelings too stormy for
words. Herr X. opened the door,
which set number of electric bells
a-ringing, and to his utter stupefac-
tion beheld the "swindler" standing
at the counter with some necklaces
displayed before him. The jeweler
ponnced upon him as tiger upon its
prey, but the young man smilingly
pointed to the precious stones and
said
"There are your necklaces. Now,
listen"
'lOu, Sir, are A"
"Now, do be calm, please, and let
me finish what | have to say; then
you may talk as long as you like. I

The Count selected, not indeed a
diamond necklace, but IL magnificent
bracelet, and requested Fraulein w.
to honor him by wearing it as sou
vcnir of the curious incident in which
she had played such prominent part.

Administering Medicine to Children.


Tact and truthfulness should be
used in administering medicine to
children The administration of medi-
cine to infants and children, requires
both skill and tact. Measures that
conduce to the physical comfort of the
little patient, nre readily recognized
and appreciated, but the good effects
of nauseous dose are not SO appar-
ent, and children will often evince
repugnance to taking medicine that
can only be overcome by the greatest
firmness and tact. Parents and nurses,
therefore, should endeavor to gain the
entire confidence of the child Above
all, they should never deceive it by
the assurance that an unpleasant mix
ture is agreeable, as the confidence
thus lost can seldom be regained. Alb
solute truthfulness is essential in all
dealings with children, and many a
child can often be induced to take a
disagreeable drug if assured that it is
for its good by some one whom it
trusts. Much has been done of late
years toward making medicines for
children more agreeable; but there is
still room for Improvement, and the
administration of drugs still remains
IL difficult task, especially in the cases
of spoiled and poorly trained chill
lren.

HOW TO HAVE SWEET PEAS EARLY.

HOW TO HAVE SWEET PEAS EARLY.
There Is no secret about having
sweet peas in spring, writes Lucy FL
liot Keeler, of Ohio. In October |
have had my bed dug up, enriched
little with leaf-mold, the earth raked
fine, and the seeds put in about stwo
inches deep. In the autumn they cam
not struggle through tho six inches of
earth the catalogues recommend; but
as they come up sprinkle a little earth
over them in hills. Before cold
weather they are several inches high.
Five years ago my brother made from
old boards at the barn Il simple cold
frame, twenty inches high at the back
and twelve in front, the slope toward
the south, and on it we laid old win
dow sash discarded from the store.
Outside the frame are packed MANURE
and dry leaves, the latter held down
by few boards. The vine grows

small crown of the czarina contains,
according to authorities, the finest

Queen of England, which is valued at

4 Little Song Of Hope.

No tears, dear, II the black skies frown-
Hope for the hest
No storm the rainbOws smile can drown -
Hope for the best.
There is a light somewhere. Some day,
From east to west
will shine deathless mornings ray;
Hope for the best.
Old proyerb' Yea, hut cheering-sweet
Divinely blest;
Even with the sharp thorns round your feet,
Hope for the bes..
What hope in signing? Time still flies
From life's unrest;
Tears blur the blue in Gods sweet skies
Hope for the hest.
And, old or new, still sing the song
That life loves best;
One melody whole life long
Hope for the best.

The Bamboo in Janan.

The damp heat of the japanese sum-
mer, which is so trying to human be-
ings, encourages all vegetation to
grow WIN 'surpiising niAHrinnce anu
rapidity; the buds of yesterday are
flowers today, and tomorrow nothing
is left but the ruin of a past beauty,
making the painters struggle most
arduOus just when he has least energy
to contend with nature. The young
bamboo shoots come up like giant
asparagus, growing SO fast that one
can almort see them move; some of
them are cut and eaten while young
and tender, and those which are al
lowed to grow to poles are used for
every imag inable purpose. They are
made into water-pipes and flower
vases, barrel hoops and umbrellas,
baskets and hats, scaifolding- poles
and pipe-stems, fans and delicate whisks
for stirring the powdered tea-more
things, in fact, than l could enumer-
ate in page. The bamboo is surely
the cause of much of the clever con-
structive work of the Japanese; for
though it will do most things with
proper treatment, 1t will not stand
being handled like ordinary timber;
its peculiar qualities have to be con-
sidered, and every way in which they
use it is artistic and good. This is
the large species which grows to
twenty or shirty feet high; there are
many dwarf kinds, which clothe the
hills with green, and are used only for
making fences and such like. -Har-

Dynamite Engraving,

A novel experiment for the purpose
of testing the strength of high explo-
sives is the placing of fresh plucked
leaves between two plates of panel
steel, and exploding dynamite cart
ridges on the upper plate.
The recoil in such cases is SO great
and sudden that the upper plate is
driven downward with such force and
rapidity as to catch exact impress
sions of leaves before their delicate
ribs have time to give way to the
force of the blow. This novel method
of engraving is one'of the wonders of
the centuries. World of Science
