Gentlemen Mechanics.

The chief distinction between the gen. tleman and the nongontleman IS that the first takes baths, the other does not. A Brooklyn iron working firm engaged in the manufacture of drop forges has dropped an idea on the world in connec- tion with showing the gentlemanliness of its employees that is worth initiating It is we'll known that, however gentle manly the man who works ill iron ana coal may be, and however much he IS respected by all, especially by candidates at election time, he cannot show oil for the fine man he is when he goes home from work grimy faced and soiled as to his clothing. Hc is undoubtedly worth n dozen of the dudish looking young tel- lows about him in street car, yet when a we'll dressed woman comes ill she Will instinctively seek a seat beside the dude rather than the gentleman who works in iron.
 The reason is that the gentleman who has wrought all day with his hands IS not cleaned up. The Brooklyn drop forgers have provided way whereby their employees may obviate this diff culty and board street car in condl- ton that will exhibit their manly good looks to the best advantage.
 They have provided first class bath house on their premises where the work men can take thorough wash in live minutes. The bath consists of a boxllke partition large enough for a man to stand up and move around in. There are dozen of the boxes. In the ceiling above are shower baths of both hot and cold water. Soap and towels are pro vided, and the employee may stand un' der the grateful torrent, rnh himself from head to foot with soap, wash it all off, scrub himself with the to-el, jumI into his street clothes, and in an incredl bly, short time step out as clean ano agreeable ill appearance as any dandy and good deal better looking than tht dandy. Then the gentlemanly mechanic will be all ready with a clear head to pur sue his studies in the evening and thinl out that invention which is going tC make millionaire of him. The fellow who is so far gone as not to avail him self of this luxury will never be any thing but day laborer and an upcom monly poor one at that.

4 Bicycle Idea.

Philadelphia has mounted part of her park police force upon regulation army bicycles, and they patrol their beats in that manner. Philadelphia is the first city to do this, but the example is good one. The steel horse costs nothing for keep, and his repairs amount to lessthan the shocing of a four footed horse would The bicycle does not wear out in long run. Mounted upon it a park policeman is enabled to catch n wrongdoer very quickly. He can overtake and stop fast drivers and riders and can even head of a runaway horse.
 In case of accident, tco, q. guard can speed away on his wheel to a telephone box and send for an ambulance or sur geon. A thief or rowdy on foot would have no chance at all against champion sparrow cop" bicyclist. Fairmount park, Philadelphia, contains $500 acres, it being the largest single city par!; in America.
 Doubtless tho other cities will follow tho fashion set by Philadelphia, and to their manifest advantage, At the horse shows at present there is always prize offered for skillful riding of the mounted park policemen. In 2 few years perhaps the bicycle shows will offer prizes for the most expert police cyclists. It will certainly add to the attractions.

The survey for the intercontinental railway which is to connect North and South America is all finished. The en- giueers who finished that part of the survey from Mexico to Bolivia are in Washington completing the calculations of their work. The beginning of the twentieth century will see this magnifi. cent idea realized and North and South America joined by bands of iron as well as by bonds of amity and commerce and unity in form of government. If now our sister republics would only keer still and abstain from civil war long enough to let both the grass and trade grow, they might in time become as prosperous as their great sister to the north.

SHEEP AND NATURE.

Among the many curious things
learned at the Worlds Fair was the
fact that the American Merino sheep
was destined to be subdivided into
types. This suspicion had previously
existed with those who had closely
observed the tendency to vary from
what was once supposed to be an es-
tablished and necessary standard. In
the past these tendencies were ac-
counted for by careless breeding and
not always complimentary to the line
of blood and verscity of the breeders.
Here at the Fair, side by side, we're
exhibited the same sheep in blood, but
widely different in size, form and
covering. Nature had asserted her
prerogatives in spite of register as
sociations, and changed the type of
the books to suit the environments.
The fittings were complete; the pas
turage of the various regions repre-.
sented were exactly reflected in the
size, vigor and fleece qualities of the
sheep. This was well illustrate /, and
some curious reflections were in the
minds of all students OF sheep and the
influences of their environments. The
only observations heard from critical
experts we're, "What differencel" |"
The lessons carried away to be pom
dered over at times of greater leisure
will be prolific of good later on. The
sheep raisers have been copying other
folks in breeding and attempting to
conform nature to types, instead of
studying natures independence of
theories, standards, and types, and
turning this to their own advantage.
1t is along these lines that the Ameri-
can sheep breeder must study his own
best and possible interests. American

ROLLING MEADOW LAND.

Rolling the meadow, and some-
times the pasture land, as soon as the
frost leaves the ground in the spring,
is often done by practical farmers.
The action of frost often throws many
stones to the surface, and when the
ground becomes settled these impedi-
ments are thus left in a position to
cause serious injury TO the cutting sp-
paratus of the moving machine. Up
on land liable TO heave by action of
frost the surface soil is left uneven,
many tufts of timothy are nearly
thrown out Of the soil, and these the
roller presses down smooth, not only
insuring a better and more healthy
growth, but leveling the field for the
more economical gathering of the
crop. Fall sown wheat and rye fields
are often benefited by rolling, which
should be done the same day that the
field is seeded to clover, or soon after,
as the action of the roller, in crush
ing Jumps and mellowing the surface,
makes good seed bed and covers a
large proportion of the clover seed.-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Lime is good for apple trees.

Lime is good for apple trees.
Plant diseases seldom start in good
soils.
A quick growth is essential in grow
ing crisp, tender vegetables.
Trimming out well is the best remedy
for mildew with apple trees.
In growing onions it is the early
sown seed that gives the best results.
There is no advantage in setting
strawberry plants in ridges, except in
low, wet land.
While it may often be best to culti-
vate an old orchard, such cultivation
should be shallow.
Usually it is easier to plant fruit
trees than to give afterward the care
that is essential to success.
Taking all things into consideration
there is no other fruit so certain OF
giving a full crop annually as the
strawberry.

the plant is vegetable, weed or fruit

PARsNIPa.

1t is said that the Jersey and Guern-
sey COWS in their native islands are
fed largely with parsnips, and whether
such food for many generations has
been an important element in form
ing their leading characteristics or
not, it is very evident that such food
is very consistent with the develop
ment of the butter making COW and
it might be we'll for such of our dairy
men as grow root crops instead of
ensilage to give more attention to this
vegetable. Parsnips can be grown
with less trouble than carrots, from
the fact that the plant is larger when
it first comes up, and is more readily
seen and distinguished from weeds.
After the first wedding there is no
more particular work to be done than
with any other hoed crop that is well
tended. The soil should be deeply
plowed and enriched and fitted as well
as for a parsnip bed in a garden, and
this can be done on half acre in the
eeld where team can be used al
easily as a small patch can be pre-

TO GROW THE FINEST TOMATOES.

Select a sandy loan with a southern
exposure. Put on we'll rotted stable
manure at the rate of ten to fifteen
loads per acre. Plow and harrow
well, so that it may be thoroughly in
corporated with the soil, or in place
of this two or three shovelfuls of rich
compost may be added to each hill.
Sow the seed and SOW only that pur-
chased from reliable dealers, or saved
from the finest, earliest specimens, in
the hot bed on the 1st of March.
When two inches high transplant into
cold frames three or four inches apart.
Be sure to shade and water the plants
until well rooted. Transplant again
when four inches high eight inches
apart. This will make fine, stocky
plants, with strong roots. OF course,
protect the cold frames from frosts or
storms by covering W n necessary,
but manage to give light and air as
soon as possible after the danger is
over.
By all means be careful not to set
the plants in the open air until all
danger from late frost is over. The
risk is too great and you gain nothing,
as the plants are growing faster. If
properly transplanted, the earth made

DR.. Aldricks, ofKentucky, who is az
enthusiastic entomologist, was at the
Lafayette yesterday. When asked for
some information on the subject he has
made a speciality, he said: ITO study
the habits of the moth family you must
live and grow up with them. The fin-
est varieties fly by night, and it is
with some difficulty that they are
captured The usual way is to 60 out
with hand net and apot of stale beer,
sweetened with o quantity of molasses
or sugar. A dash of this mixture on
the bark of the tree, whose leaves the
moths feed upon, is the bait which
lures them to death.
"'As soon rs they light the net is
sprung over them, and later on they
are asphyxiated by being dropped in
an etherized jar, after which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. I
have a house built especially for their
propagation and filed with leaves of
their favorite tree. With the cater
pillars crawling TO the right and left
of me l spend many night watching
their habits from a rude cot in one
corner of the building. 1t is quite a
profitable business, besides being un.
usually instructive. Some of the
largest varieties are the size of hum
ming bird, and the rarest kinds, when
