Preparing, in Time OF Peace,

s'The British Government is forever

Markell, of Boston, at the Ebbitt.
''For some time past it has been try
ing to find out just how long il would
take to get its men and supplies across
the American continent in case of q
difficulty with Russia. A short time
ago a special train, carrying arma-
ment and supplies, was dispatched
from Halifax to Esquimault, British
Columbia, with instructions to stop
only to take water and change engines,

adds, shave remarkably fine heads of
hair, and they put their combing to q

A very large number of the saddle

coarse mats or bags, and the halters
and head ropes of their animals are
largely composed of the same material.

"ouR RRorurR's Keeper

A business man was in the habit OF now
and then stepping into saloon and taking a
glass OF beer with u friend. He did not care
for the beer, and only drank it for the sake
OF being social. He said he did not suppose
no drank moro than five or SIX glasses
year. Yet, he was not temperance man.
One day friend asked him to step in
certain saloon and take glass OF becr. He
did so. Standing near by was a young man
who had never drank glass of becr. but he
knew these men were regarded az very fine
men, and thought that II they drank beer hc
could. So later he went into the saloon,
He found he liked beer, and was easily
affected by it and that night he was taken
home In n carriage drunk.
When he was sober he told his mother how
he came to go into the saloon. The mother
told the business man what his example had
done for her boy, and being u really good
man he said that should be his last glass OF
beer He had not thought what little he
drank would injure any one, but added, 81

Carving Secret Arms.

Tn Mysore and Tyderabad the
bich'hwa (scorpion) the double
curved misericorde of the East-is
carried by the lower classes hidden up
the sleeve, and is made right or lett
handed to suit all tastes. 1t is a tav-

sometimes double -bladed and poisoned.

hollow in the hilt. The double curve
Of the blade, derived from that of
COWS horn, and resembling that of a
scorpions sting, recurs in the khaniar
and the chilanum and throughout
Afghanistan. With a variety of this
weapon Lieutenant Willis was killed
in the bazaar at Candahar.
The strangest of secret arms is, per-
haps, the bagh nakh or tiger claw of
the Mahrattas, with its two rings for
the first and fourth fingers and the
three to five curved steel claws,
destined to protrude from the closed
hand between the fingers and to rip
open or mangle the victim. The hand
half open shows only two bright rings
round the fingers; the clenched fist
becomes the armed paw of the human
tiger. Mr.. Egerton tells us how the
Mahratta leader Sivaji murdered his
enemy, Afzai Khan, after inviting him
TO conference, in which each should
come with one attendant only. Sivaii
wore a mail cap and coat under his
turban and cotton gown, had a
bich' h'hwa in his right sleeve and bagh
nakh on his left hand. The Khan had
only his sword, and sent away his fol-
lower to reassure Sivaji, who was of
small stature and counterfeited tim
idity. ''In the midst of the customary
embrace, Sivaji struck the bagh nakh
into the bowels of Afzai Khan, who
quickly disengaged himself, clapped
his hand on his sword, exclaiming
'Treachery and murderl" but Sivaii
instantly followed mp the blow with
his dagger. The Khan had drawn his
sword, and made a cut at Sivaji, but
the concealed armor was proof against
the blow. The whole was the work
of a moment, and Sivaii was wrestling
the weapon from the hand of his vic
| tim before the attendants could run
toward them. "-London Saturday Re

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

If the bees are restless give more
air and water, and sweep up the dead
ones.
Eggs stored in a damp place will
often taste musty even though the test
be clear.
A safe rule with peaches is always
to set them on an elevation, the high

Good prices and increasing demands
are reported for high-class heavy
draught horses.
Lameness always indicates soreness,
stiffness or weakness, and demands
immediate attention.
Unless you are giving up breeding,
do not be tempted by good price to
sell off the good mares.
There is no reason to fear that cleo
trieity will ever be able to take the
place of good horses of any breed.
A hen will eat about bushel of

After an orchard has come into fnll

Root pruning is done by taking a

SEED WHEAT,

Heavy weight seed wheat contains
larger quantity of more valuable food
materials for the young plant in the
form of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash than light weight wheat of the
same variety. Experiments at the
Minnesota station by H. Snyder show
that this additional reserve food is
supplied to the young plants and pro-
duces a more vigorous growth. The
additional fertilizer material in a
bushel of heavy weight wheat is worth
from three to five cents more per
bushel at the market prices of COM
mercial fertilizers. Hellriegel in Ger
many has also proved that the heavier
the seed the more vigorous is the
young plant, and where there was not
an over-abundance of plant food in the
soil the difference in vigor of the
plants are seen even up to the time of
harvest. The Minnesota experiments
prove that the same characteristic
differences that are noted between
heavy and light weight seed wheat
are observed between healthy and Wig
orous, and poor and sickly wheat
plants, both in growth and yield. The
wheat plant takes up over three
fourths of its food from the soil be-
fore heading out. The soil should be
cultivated and managed in such way
so as to supply the growing wheat
crop with at least three-fourths of it
mineral food, and seven-eighths of its
nitrogen compound before it blooms
which occurs in June or early in July
according to the latitude. American

QUALITY OF EGGS.

There is great difference in the
original quality of eggs, and this has
much to do with their capacity for
keeping we'll. Generally, the best
favored eggs are laid early in the sea-
son. Then the diet is mostly grain.
After the fowls begin TO find young
grass growing, they will pick at and
eat it, and of course consume less
grain. In summer much of the food
is grass and insects These are not
good egg-producing foods, and though
large number of eggs may be laid,
their quality will not be as good as it
is early in in the season. 1t is not the
difference caused by deterioration on
account of weather, for an egg cooked
the same day it is laid in July is gen.
orally not so good as one that is
cooked fresh in March or April. Hence
there is good reason why eggs should
be dearer in early spring. They are
better then, and for their price fur
nish cheaper and better food than
the same money invested in meats.
The fact may also explain one reason
why lined eggs are so generally unsat'
isfactory. They are always the cheap
and poor quality summer eggs. They
are inferior when put up, and cannot
be expected to improve by keeping
five or six months, even when air is ex-
cluded. Boston Cultivator.

STIFFNESS IN A WORKING OK.

Overworking and exposure to the
weather afterward will easily produce
rheumatism, and this will cause stiff
ness of the limbs, with pains that
move from one limb TO another. The
treatment in such case should be to
foment the parts with rot water, and
then apply some strong hniment, Civ
ing thirty drops of tincture of sconite
three times day in some acceptable
drink, linseed or oatmeal Cruel, for
instance. The animal must rest from
work. but moderate exercise will be
useful. 1t should be kept warm and
