Curios About Respiration.

In each respiration an adult of the
human species inhales one pint of air.
A healthy man win respire 16 to 20
times per minute, or, say, 20, 900 times
day; child, % to 35 times per min
ute. While standing, the adult average
respiration is % times per minute; ly-
ing down, ID times. The superficial
area of the lungs-that is, of their
alyeolar pace-averages 200 square
yards. The amount of air respired each
day is about 10000 quarts.
The amount Of oxygen absorbed in
the same length of time is 500 liters, OF
about 744 grams. The amount of car.
bonic acid expired in "a hours is esti.

FOR THE FARMER.
Valuable Information Con-
cerning Farm Work.
AGRICULTURAL PARAGRAPHS
Every Advantage Should be Taken TO
Save Waste and Lessen the Cost in
Feeding Farm Stock.

Every Advantage Should be Taken TO
Save Waste and Lessen the Cost in
Feeding Farm Stock.
In feeding stock to the best advantage
two items are essential. One is to tur-
nish a reasonable variety in their food,
and the other is to feed regularly. No
one article Of food will supply all ele-
ments of nutrition in the right proper
tion to secure the best gain at the lowest
cost, because in nearly all cases it will
lack in some OF the essential elements or
will supply them in insufficient quanti-
ties. In making up the rations the
wants or needs of the animals should al
ways be considered, as well as the pur-
pose for which it is supplied, and in ad-
dition to this cost must be considered,
supplying a ration that as far as possible
will secure the best gain to the lowest
cost. The more completely the ration
supplies the needs of the animal and the
less the cost the better the possible
profit; hence it is important to supply
variety and to maintain good appe-
tite. But, no matter how complete the
ration or how literally it may be sup
piled, the animal will not thrive as it
should unless the feed is given regularly.
Nature is regular. Whenever food is
supplied she at once commences to digest
and assimilate it, and under normal con-
ditions does not pause until the opera
tion is completed. Between two opera
tions there should be some interval oi
rest; therefore, if food is given before
the accustomed time, the digestive organs
have not had their accustomed rest and
there is more or less risk that they may
be overtaxed, and in consequence the
work will not be properly done, and this
in turn may create disturbance of the
whole system. II on the other hand the
| feeding is delayed beyond the usual time
the increased hunger of the animal il
apt to induce it to eat too fast, so that il
will not be as thoroughly masticated anC
of course will not be as thoroughly di
gested, causing in this way loss. Feed
ing irregularly will also cause an anima
to fret to more less extent, and thi
causes loss that better or more careful
work should avoid. In feeding econom
ically every advantage must be taken t.
save waste and lessen the cost. Feeding
variety and feeding regularly are TIVE
items that must always be considered il
feeding economically. Then the quan
tity supplied must be such as will secur
steady gain whether feeding for growtl
or to finish for the market, and the NOR
fully these essentials are supplied tn
better will be the profits. When stool
is on good. pasture very little extra i
necessary when keeping for growth, bu
in feeding to fatten a fattening ratiol
must be given in addition to the pastur
age.

Table Manners In Argentina.

1--WE encamped near swamp" says
a gentleman, describing meal he had
with some cart drivers in South Amer
lea, land supped on sliced pumpkins
boiled with bits of meat and seasoned
with salt. The meal was served in
genuine pampa fashion. One iron spoon
and two cows horns split in halves
were passed around the group, the men,
bers of which squatted upon their
launches and freely helped themselves
from the kettle. Even in this most un-
civilized form of satisfying hunger
there is a peculiar etiquette which the
most lowly person invariably observes.
Each member of the company in turn
dips his spoon, or horn, into the center
of the stew and draws it in direct
line toward him, never allowing it to de-
viate to the right or left. By observing
this rule each person eats without in
terfering with his neighbor. Being
ignorant of this custom, dipped my
horn into the mess at random and fished
about for some of the nice bits. My
companions regarded this holrid breach
of politeness with scowls of impatience.
They declared with some warmth tc

how to eat. | apologized as well as

THE EARTHQUAKE.
Scores Of Cities and Towns in
Venezuela Destroyed.
HE GOES FORTH AN EXILE

Count Ellie TaIIeyrand- Perigord Must
Leave France to Avoid Prosecution
for Large Forgeries.
PARIs.-Since the Deacon family skel-
eton was brought to the view OF the
public Paris has had no sensation equal
to the Count Ellie Talleyrand- -Perigord
affair. That the charges made by young
Lebaudy are well backed seems certain
from the fact that Princess Sagan, mother
OF the Count, has consented to pay a
sum equal to $4,000. Whether the
Count or NJ. de Woestyn, both of whom
are now at liberty, thanks to the Prin-
cess, knew they were handling forged
notes has not appeared in evidence, but
that somebody forged Lebaudy's name
TO paper for fabulous sum is certain.
Under the agreement Count Ellie will 90
out OF France for number of years, and
De Woestyn will probably leave Paris.
There is little doubt now that the Count
fell into the hands of sharpers, who soon
relieved him OF whatever he realized
from the sale OF the notes, for he has
not franc left. In fact, he goes abroad
under pension settled upon him by his
mother, who is willing to make any sac
rifice il he will reform.

TEN THOUSAND LIVES LOST,
Cities and Towns in Venezuela Destroye,
by an Earthquake Shock.

Cities and Towns in Venezuela Destroyed
by an Earthquake Shock.
CARACAs.-The Herald's correspond
ent telegraphs: A terrible earthquake
shock took place in Venezuela April 2S.
Reports which have been received here
from the districts affected tell of terrible
loss of life and the destruction of vii
lagos and towns. The cities of Merida,
Lagunillas, Chiguara and San Juan, sit.
uated in the northwestern part of the
Republic in the region of the Andes, are
reported as having been totally destroyed
by fierce shock at IL O'Clock on the
night Of the 2Sth. Many villages are
said to be wrecked, but details are moi
yet to be had. The convulsions extend.
ed to parts OF the adjacent Republic oI
Colombia. Full reports of the catas-
trophe will be learned slowly, but it is
probable that 10000 people have per.
ished, and it is certain that the greatest
suffering prevails in the places visited
by the earthquake. The United States
Minister here has notified the State De.
partment at Washington of the terrible
effects OF the catastrophe, and has asked
that assistance be given to the people o.
the stricken districts.

I'm Their solution Will Depend the Flu

LoNDoN.-The Times comments edi-
torially on series of articles concerning
Canada, which it has published recently.
The writer says: at seems manifest
that OF the large problems, on the sue
cessiul solution of which the future OF
the British Empire will depend, there
are very few which are not more or less
directly illustrated by Canadian expert
ence, and the probable solution that Ca
NADIA will find, whether for good or evil,
largely affects the organic structure OF
the empire. 1t is certain that the influ-
ence of Canada on the international re-
lations of Great Britain and the United
States have tended more than anything
else to peaceful settlement by arbitra-
ton of questions which under less favor
able conditions might have proved in
tractabe to diplomacy. 1t is not per-
haps altogether fanciful to surmise the
beneticent results achieved in this direc-
ton. Possibly they will be the germ OF
future developments almost too vast and
far reaching for the political imagina-
tion of living men to conceive. What
may be the future of Canada s relations to
the United States on the one hand and
TO Great Britain on the other no man
can yet say, but none can doubt that the
problem here propounded is big with the
fate OF untold generations"

local fame. Mrs. Theodosia Shepherd

cultivator of California flower seeds and
