EXPERIMENTS IN FLYING.

A German Has Made Successful Slides
Down an Aerial slope.
A birds wings while it is flying per-
form two functions. They sustain its
weight and they propel it. Human he
ings in trying to initiate the bird have
been more successful in the former di-
rcction than in the latter. Such ma
nipulations of wings as will drive n
person forward, either by muscle or
power from apparatus strapped to the
body, may be learned eventually. or
the future Daedalus may rely upon
some entirely separate device for pro
pulsion and retain the wings merely
for support and balancing. In either
ease, all attempts To find ont what can
really be accomplished with these lat
ter appliances possesses interest for
scientists and the public. Herr o.
Liiicnthal, of Steglitz NEAR I%ierlinl,
Germany. has been experimenting in
this direction with contrivances that
resemble great wings. In the brief de
scription at hand no information is i'm
parted concerning the materials en-
ployed. But the wings had an cxpansc
of fifteen square meters, or one hun
dred and siXty-tive square feet. Herr
Lilienthal's plan, according to the
New York Tribune, was to find a broad
roof. a hilltop or other convenient clc-
walton. run a few steps against the
wind and then leap into the air. lIori-
zontal impetus was thus acquired be-
fore he left terra firma. lie was then
able to slide downward at an angle of
only ten or fifteen degrees from a hur-
i~zontal. although it was in his
power. by shifting the center of gray
ity relatively to the center of exist
ence, to change the inclination of the
wings and descend more rapidly. No
mention is made of his success in steer
ing himself laterally. As the greater
part of his weight was suspended be-
low the wings, of course he kept right
side up without difficulty. TO lessen
the atmospheric resistance, however,
he drew his legs up somewhat. While
he vas about it, one could wish hat
Herr Lilicnthal had made Il kite Of
himself and tried to see how long the
wind would sustain him at one end of a
long light wire, the other end Of which
was in the hands of three or four stout
men, or securely anchored.

A kindly, honest and simple littl>
man was Frederick William II amsledc,
originally a city clerk of Londcn, and a
versifier who c%oncocted worthless dog

rate which would surprise most poetas-
tiers. Yet his claim to remembrance
lies now in the fact that Thackcray
called him dear little Hamstedc," and
loved and protected him from banter
with a strange and touching chivalry.
If anyone laughed at the great novel

you cannot afford to buy the seeds, or
have not the time to care for them At
the present day seeds are SO cheap that
anyone can buy three or four varieties
for q trife; carefully save seed from
your best flowers, and another year
add a few more varieties. As to time,
1t requires but a little time to prepare
the beds, and after the seed is sown a

rare for several beds of flowers that
will cheer and brighten your life.
And il there are children they will
soon learn to love to work among the
flowers If a little patience is exercised
in teaching them the proper way to per-
form the labor. Morning glories at the
kitchen porch or window will nod a
CHEEKY good morning for many weeks,
and a bed of petunias and another of por-

their rich and velvety textures, their
varied tints and markings who does

COlORING BUTTER

In Most Gases, One Man Claims, 1t Is I'm
necessary Waste.
William Chaplin, of Washington coun-
ty, VT, writes as follows in the Home
stead: Much is said in our farmers
meetings about the wastes of the dairy,
but nobody seems to get the idea that
the artificial coloriDg of butter is a
great and in most cases an unnecessa-
ry waste. Just as good yellow colored
butter can be made in January as in
June with the. right kind of cows and
the right kind of feed and manage
ment. | am making sixty to seventy
pounds a week from six new mich
cows and four strippers, and it has sold
for twenty-five and ~twenty-seven cents
in the open market for the last two
months and not a particle of artificial
color in it. Dealers say that it is yell
low enough. The COWS are highgrade
Jerseys, we'll housed, watered in the
stable and fed twice a dag on dried
grass lcut June 10 to July a, once a
day on straw and corn fodder, and
have four to six pounds of meal each
day made of northern yellow corn and
oats. This may Not be a scientific or
economic ration, but we raise it all, as
we do the cows on the farm, and we
care more for profit than protein. more
for greenbacks than for carbohydrates,
and as long as the balance Of trade is
in our favor we don't bother about the
balance of COW feed, and if we can
make the cows color the butter we
don't break the oleomarGarin ne law"

with a continuous white belt around

novel picture in the landscape, grazing
in the lowlands of Holland. In weight
the cows vary from eight to twelve
hundred pounds and the bulls reach
sixteen to twenty hundred.
They are strong and vigorous, kind
and docile in disposition and transmit
with great certainty all their original
qualities, The calves produced are
usually of large size. The Dutch belted
cattle are a dairy breed, the COWS pro-
ducing a large quantity of milk above
the average in butter content. For
beef they rank with other dairy breeds.

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; e~ffectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
