FiItering a City's Water Supply.

The City Of Lawrence, Mass, is
experimenting with a glitter bed
with which it hopes to purify the
water of the Merrimac River, the
source of the water supply of that
city. The experiment is being made
in pursuance of the discovery made
two years ago by the State Board OF
Health of Massachusetts, that certain
cities which had suffered especially
from typhoid fever were using water
from polluted rivers. The board
gave assurance that by the use of
filter beds SO per cent. of the bac-
terra organisms, some of which are
harmful, would be removed. The
filtering was begun September goth,
since which time daily investigation
shows that this proportion Of the
bacteria is removed from the water,
and also that the water is so purified
that three-fourths of the remaining
two per cent. die before the water
reaches the dwelling-houses. The
fact that the number of deaths from
typhoid fever in that city during the
months of October and November Of
last year was only one each month,
while formerly the average for five
years was five each month, seems to
furnish conclusive evidence that
there is virtue in the plan recon-
mended blythe Massachusetts Board.

Royal B~uckwheats.

For generations it has been the Gus
tom to mix the batter for buckwheat
caRhs with yeast or emptylnSsa retain
ing q portion of the batter lGt over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day. =,
If kept too warm, or not used
promptly, this batter becomes exces-
sively sour and Objectionable. BUCK
wheat cakes raised by this means are
more often sour or heavy than light
and sweet. If eaten daily they dis
tress the stomach and cause skIn ernp-
lions and itching.
Instead of the old-fashionel way We
have been making buckwhent cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Pow
der, mixing the batter fresh daily, ana
find the result wonderfully satlsfnc-
tory. They are uniformly light and
sweet, more palatable and wholesome,
and can be eaten continuously without
the slightest digestive ln~conTenIence'
Besides they are mixed and baked Ill a
moment, requiring no time to rise.
Following is the receipt used:
Two cups Of pure buckwhent flour
mot prepared" or Mixed, Il cup
of wheat -four, wotahlespoonsot Royal
Baking Powder and one-half teaspoon
full Of salt, all sifted welltogether. Mix
with milk into a thin batter and bake
at once on a hot griddle. Once prop
erly tested from this receipt, no other
buckwheat will find its way TO your
table. -Domestic Cookery.

Senator Voorhees, Story.

ator Voorhees,, when | was just be-

Lincoln. He was practising law then
and was very successful. l recall a
story he told on some opposing law
yer, during the argument of a case.
"SOur friend said Lincoln, to the
jury, is not responsible altogether
for the very remarkable argument
with which he has afflicted us. Our
friend is all right in conversation,
and he may even examine a witness
fairly well. But the moment he en-
banks on a set speech his mind be-
comes peculiarly affected. It's opera
tions, while our friend is speaking,
seem SO much retarded that they
might almost be said to have ceased.
In this respect he reminds me of a
steamboat | knew many years ago,
and which busted itself in the Ohio
River. This putting little steamboat
was of unusual, not to say illogical
construction. 1t had a f~ive-foot
boiler and a seven-foot whistle; and
every time it whistled it stopped. It

The Comma Bacillus,

Much gratitude is owing to the six
doctors of the Institute OF Expert
mental Pathology in Vienna who have
been trying risky experiments upon
Themselves with the comma bacillus
in the interest of science. 1t is salts
fact ry, however, to know that,
although each person swallowed a
large numEer OF the bacilli contained
in fluid, in no case did Asiatic che lora
ensue. Dr.. Ha terlik and his assistant
remained in their normal C ndition;
DR.. ~Stock1nayer suffered from head
ache, slight fever and insomnia: Herren
Schuetz and Graf, two medical stu
dents, had slight purging, and Herr
r Sc, a gentleman Of a somewhat weak
constitution who also volunteered, suf-
fered from nausea and vomiting, but
was perfectly well again within a wee'l.
The conclusion drawn by Prof. Strick-
er, who directed the experiments. is
that in persons not physically strong
the comma bacillus causes various
symptoms OF illness, but not necessarily
cholera,

Inhabited Only By Hogs.

In the northern part Of Limestone
County, Alabama, saysa writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch, is a tract of land
consisting of more than l,000 acres
which is not on the map of the State,
nor can it be found in the registers
office of that county. No one claims
it and no taxes have ever been paid
on it. 1t is a vast wilderness, inhab-
tied by snakes, deer and razor-back
hogs. 1t is a free hunting ground
and thousands of these hogs are killed
every wear, more for the sport than
for anything else. The hogs are wild
and cannot be domesticated. Their
yield is said to be enormous. Tom
Booth, of Pulaski, Tenn, secured a,
male and female and did all in his
w to tame them, but failed. He
kept them a year and at the end of
that time they were as wild as at
first. The more he fed them the thin
ner they became. Within the year
they consumed 400 bushels of corn
and were as lean as church mice. Dur
ing that time the SOW had five filters
of pigs, numbering 2l0. Mr.. Booth
could not tame any of these nor get
them fat enough to make even soap
grease. Finally he gave them to a
colored man, who now considers him
self under no obligations to Mr..
Booth. The flesh Of these hogs re-
sembles horsefesh. 1t is as tough as
coon skin, and a large-sized hog of
this species rendered would not make
grease enough to fry a skillet of bat
ter cakes. They go through a garden
like a shovel-plow, and no vegetable
escapes them. They can crowd
through a crack that would hardly
admit a mouse and their sharp noses
act as levers for garden gates. The
'Tennesseeans make great fun Of Ala
bama's razor-back hogs.

But when we recall the fact that we

tiled as an impostor, an irate female,
a female fiber, and alluded to in a

are tempted to wonder to what limits
journalistic freedom aspires to soar. "
In another column the retiring edit
ress supplements her leading article
by a poem addressed to "My Editorial

hints that her sex is the real ground
for her enforced departure:

Why Men Die Young.

1t appears, according to the regis
tration report of Massachusetts,, that
nearly twice as many women as men
in that State live to be over 80 years
of age, This is accounted for by the
great exposure Of men to accidents,
to weather agencies, to the constant
strain of business life, to the anxiety
Of providing for the family, all OF
which tend to shorten the life of men.
The deaths by accident among men
are more than threefold greater than
among women, and men commit sui
eide in about a threofold ratio as com
nared with women.

HANDY FEEDING COOP.
How to Prevent the Hens from Eating
the Chicks RatiOnS.

AS the chickens begin to be fed out
side the coop, the old fowls are apt to
be on hand and take up all the choicest
bits before the youngsters can get
them. To get around this difficulty
take some l by 2 inch pieces and make
frame 3 feet high and feet square.
On this l nail strips crosswise. This
style Of feeding coop is much prefer
able to the ones made with Stats run
ming up and down, as the chicks can
not get caught in the spaces. When
the chicks become too large to pass
through the spaces readily, posts can
be nailed to the corners to raise the
coop off the ground, allowing the chicks
to run under the bottom slat. Many
of the serious deformities found among
chickens come from their squeezing
between pickets and through the
meshes Of coarse wire netting. When
feeding at an early age this may be
prevented by some such feeding device
as this one.-F. E. Dawley, IN Farm,
and Home.

Winston Tobacco .Journal.l

Advices from Raleigh say there will

cotton and tobacco fertilizers this year,
and an increase in the sales of
fertilizers for use on truck
In Western North Carolina the
tobacco acreage will be very much
reduced.
Preparations for smaller tobacco
crops are being made in central North
Carolina and in the Northern counties
OF Virginia, from all accounts.
OF Eastern North Carolina the
Rocky Mount -4,g0nant says: We
should Judge that about the same area
of tobacco will be planted this year
there was last. We have no doubt,
however, that the product will be very
much improved as the careless, shift
less farmers are giving up tobacco
raising to a great extent as it takes
considerable energy and thought to
raise tobacco successfully and these
are two things considerable portion
of our people are sadly deficient in.
a Durham correspondent of the
Wfstrrn Tobacco Journal estimates
the probable reduction this year in
acreage of tobacco for the counties Of
the middle belt of North Carolina as
follows: "Orange and Moore, one
half; Guilford, one third Alamance,
Person, Chatham, Granville, Durham,
Caswell and Vance, one fourth Wake,
one fifth. OF the Eastern belt, the

will be the average of last year.
