MEDICAL SCIENCE.

BABIES and young children dressed in white are thought by medical men to be more susceptible to colds and in- fectious diseases than those clad in dark warm colors.
 A DOCTOR at Corpus Christi, Tex, re- gently grafted piece of a rabbits eye upon the injured optic of ten year-old boy and the operation bids fair to be complete success.
 LIME juice contains very whole some fruit acid and might well be sub- stituted for vinegar for table use; there are so many vile substitutes that the vinegar on the table is always of doubtful quality, and the best is alive with squirming animalcules.

ROCKING BAsCULE BRIDGE.

arc-bounded extensions at the shore ends. No doubt the weight is so care fully distributed in each section that the water end is nearly counterbal- ancd by the rest of the structure, no matter in what position, so that little power is required to hoist it. At last accounts it had not been decided whether to use an electric or hydraulic mechanism for this purpose. As might be inferred from the diagram, this bridge is intended to form part of an elevated railway. It will be located at the Van Buren street crossing. One important feature, however, is not shown in the drawing. The rockers are provided on the under side with slots, which engage teeth in the track. By this means, any longitudinal dis placement of either bascule is prevent ed. The designer, Chicago engineer named Scherzer, died few months ago.

decorations are in the best of taste, and Edison has a comfortable, big library in which a bookworm might dream away his existence in contented peace and idleness.
 Edison has no time for that kind of dreaming, however. His province is rather to make dreams practical, and to that end he spends most of h $ time in his laboratory and workshops group of red brick buildings about five min utes' walk from the house. They say that Mrs. Edison has often to go down to the laboratory to remind her hus band that it is meal time, for he gets so absorbed in his experiments that he quite forgets the necessity of eating.
 A Hot Day.
 Awoman who lives in the suburbs of Brooklyn usually places large tin pan on her front door step to receive the ice that the iceman delivers to her each morning During recent hot spell her little grandson, who is full of mischief, thought that he would play joke on his grandmother. The next morning when the pan was put on the step, he filled it partly with water and then yelled ''I-c-er' It was nearly five minutes before the grandmother started to take the ice into the house. She was surprised to find that the ice had melted so quickly. Meantime the iceman had come and saw no pan for the ice. He did not leave the usual piece, and the grandmother was telling her neighbors of the unusual heat until the other day, when the young hope ful told his big brother about the joke he played.

The Doughnuts and Indian Puddings He
 Had Cooked for Him in Newport.
 Down in Newport the other day this anecdote of the late William K Van derbilt was told 1.-The husband of a woman, who for many years annually helped the housel1eeper at the Wander built summer house pack the goods which it was intended to take back to the winter home, said he went down to the Vanderbilt place to meet his wife one day, and as he was coming away Mr. Vanderbilt came out on the lawn and stopped him, saying: Do you know where l can get good cook for four weeks? I am going to stay here a month longer, and the cook is going to leave tomorrow. Can't you get me one?'
 q said I didn't know. I would try, and then MT. Vanderbilt said: I don't want any French, fancifed cook, I'm going to be here almost by myself, and 1 want one who can make old-fashioned things. I've been just longing for some Indian pudding, some doughnuts and cheese, and some brown bread knew where there was an old cook, and

from New York city to Chicago, and go south by this line rather than start from New York direct for New Or leans. The ''C. B. & O." is also great ''snap;" in fact, so much so that, when I was on the road, it was called ''the buns line." In Nebraska, where the SO" becomes the ''B. & M. R." the lines are more tightly drawn, and it behooves a roadster to take to the trucks if he is anxious to make good time.
 Truck-riding is necessary almost everywhere west of the Mississippi. Of course one can fool around" freight trains, but he is liable to be knocked off when the train is at full speed, and unless this occurs on the desert, or where the ground is rather soft, it may prove dangerous. I once attempted to ride freight on the Southern Pa cifc road, and it was the hardest ex- perience I ever encountered. I hung on to the side of a cattlecar in order to keep out of the brakeman's way, but he eventually found me, and ordered me to get up on top. There I was made to turn my pockets inside out to convince him that I had no money. Being angered that could not give him dime, he said: "Well, hit the gravel I can't carry you on this train" I told him that would never hit the gravel unless he stopped the train. ''You won't, eh!'' he said; 1'well, now, we'll see." So he chased me over his train for about fifteen minutes. 1 dodged him here and there. and found that I was quite able to e]nde him as long as he alone followed me; but soon the ''Con" appeared, and then the chase began in earnest. They finally pressed so near that I was com pelled to climb down the side of a cat tlecar. They then tantalized me by splitting and swearing. Finally the Con climbed down also, and stepped on my fingers, so had to let go. For tnnately, the train was slackening it's speed just then-I really think the en- gineer had hand in the matter, for he is usually good fellow-and got off safely enough. But I had to drill" twenty miles that afternoon without a bite to eat or drink of water. In the far west after that experience I al ways made use of the trucks.
 The usual time for eastern and western tramps to start south is in October. During this month large squads of vagabonds will be ound travelling toward Orleans" 1 once was on an Illinois Central freight train when seventy-three tramps were fel- low passengers, and nearly every one was bound for either Florida or Lou .cso

germ on the body does not produce a disease. lift did there would not be a person on the face of the earth to-mor- row. People lived before disease germs were known and were as healthy as they are to-day. They lived as care fully as we do-perhaps more so. We cannot avoid contact with disease germs, but we can do what is better strengthen the body so that it resists them as easily as lion can flea. Some scientists pretend to deplore a lack of precaution people take against germs. It is simply because the people see, despite theories, that every germ doesn't produce sickness any more than every man is a murderer. Every man may possibly be one, but we would not be justified in going armed on that account "

Bright Chat About the Great Inventors
 Lovely IIelpmeet.
 Edison, the great inventor, has an ideal home at Orange, N. J., and charming wife to preside over it. Mrs. Edison before her marriage was Miss Nina Miller, daughter of Lewis Miller, the millionaire inventor and leading light in the Chautauqua movement. Edison met her in Boston, where she was studying music, some time in 1885. He fell desperately in love, and within six months they were engaged to be married. The wedding took place in February, 1886. Mrs. Edison is tall and stately and has brown eyes and warm, dark hair and clear oliye.com- plexion. She is perfectly proportioned and very graceful and altogether a charming woman.
 The Edison home, Glenmont, is in Llewellyn Park, suburb of Orange, and one of the prettiest places in the Orange mountains, being situated on the eastern slope of Eagle Rock, whence can be obtained one of the most beautiful and extensive views to be had in the neighborhood of New York. The observatory at Coney Is land, twenty miles away, can be dis cerned from there on clear day, and charming glimpses of the intervening and beautiful. Its furnishings and

HOW TRAMPS TRAVEL.
Truck Riding Necessary in the Country
 West of the Mississippi.

The November Century contains a unique article entitled: "Tramping with Tramps," being record of the actual adventures ofa young American who disguised himself as tramp and took to the road. The following is an extract from the article:
 Of the states in the western district, l think that Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Washington and a part of California are the best for tramps. Illinois is thought especially well of by vagabonds because of its 'sgood" railroads. The Illinois Central, for instance, is known the country over as the best for journey south, and have known tramps to travel

A BASCULE BRIDGE.

Carieus Bit of Engineering Which Is to
 Span Chicago River.
 Recently this paper contained de- scription of a novel bridge to cross the river in Chicago. Another structufe for similar use in the same city is also curious enough in design to deserve notice. This bridge is of the bascule type. It divides in the middle and the two leaves lift up on end; but these, instead of working on fixed horizontal pivots like most bascules, rock on their

The Clover HaY Warun

The farmer who finds in his NOV the
webs of the clover hay worm should
read and act upon the advice Of Prof.
Osborn, Of the Iowa agricultural col
lege, who says: Where the webs are
found would advise thorough clean
ing out of the infested NOW, and burn
ing of all the webbed and worthless
hay containing the worms. Otherwise,
says Farmers Review, there will be
developed an enormous number of
moths to lay eggs in the coming sea-
sons crop of hay, and the probability
OF worse damage another year than has
occurred heretofore. It is exactly under
such conditions, the holding over of
masses of infected hay, that the worms
lind the best opportunity for increase,
and, while it may involve some labor
and apparent loss at the time, it may
be considered as next to throwing hay
away to store it over a mass Of hay
previously infected, except that the
upper portion will probably escape any
serious damage

Very Much Astonished,

After a decision of the house of
parliament on motion OF Mr.. Fox,
Sir George Young, who had been
drinking all day instead of attending
to his parliamentary duties, insisted
on addressing the house; but, begin
ming with II am astonished," could
proceed no further. When he had
repeated these words seven times,
the house was convulsed with laugh
ter: The baronet appealed to the
speaker, who pleasantly inquired
what he would have him do. Sir
George grew very warm at this, and
declared that he would not give up
his favorite word, "for,' said he, Il
really am astonished, Mr.. Speaker. -
BY the advice OF friends, however.
he was presently prevailed upon,
after repeating the word about q
dozen times more, to change it to
''surprised,'' after which, shaving
entirely forgotten what he intended
to say" he sat down.-Argonaut.

All Front.

At Chancellorsvi1ls, while Ja:kson's
corps was moving to the flank and rear
cf the Union army, the Confederate
cavalry in advance be- anne engaged
with the enemy. Presently a wounded
trooper emerged from the woods in
front. After surveying the scene, he
moved in the direction in which the
infantry were marching, apparently
in search for the rear.
Almost Immediately the blue jackets
closed in behind Jackson's corps, and
The poor cavalryman appeared again,
looking hopeless and distraught. He
was met by another cavalryman, to
whom he called out, "JIallo! Wound

"Yes,' replied the other, laconically;
adding, Lets git to the r'ar.''
'R'ar!' returned the disconsolate cav.

THOUGHTS.

1t pays to be kind and courteous
always. ....s s......... ss...... ..
Three helping one another bear the
burden Of six.
Love your neighbor but do not pull
down your hedge.
1t pays to be patient with children,
and take time to answer their ques-
tons
AS long as there is one sin in the
heart the door cannot be shut against
others.
1t pays to reach out hand of help
to the fallen, and to speak words of
cheer to the discouraged:
If sunshine had to be paid for there
are people who would declare that
candle light could beat it.
There is a strength of quiet endur-
ance as significant of courage as the
most daring feats of power.
Because all men are apt to flatter
themselves to entertain the addition
OF other mems praises is most perilous.
If we would build on a sure founda-
ton in friendship, we must love our
friends for their sakes rather than our
own.
There is no surer mark of the alb
sence of the highest moral and intel
lectual qualities than a cold reception
of excellence.
There is no man so good who, were
he to submit all his thoughts and ac-
tions to the law, would not deserve
hanging ten times in his life.

Bcst Results From SllaRe.

No one thinks of feeding COWS ex-
clusively on corn silage. They need
some dry feed with it, and this it will
pay to buy If the farm itself does
not afford them. AS an instance of
this, Mr.. G. K. Beach of Whitewater,
Wis.,, grew four and a half acres of
corn silage last year. 10 make the
best use of this he fed $50 worth of
hay and S120 worth of wheat bran to
his herd Of COWS. After paying back
the money value of the hay and the
bran the COWS afforded a net profit
OF 500 for each acre of corn put
into the silo- Corn is not alone a
well-balanced ration for any animal,
and the feeder who does not UNDER
stand how to balance it and get the
best results has neglected the most
important part of his business.

Mules for Farm Work.

The mule is used much more than
the horse in the South, probably in
part because Southern negro laborers
are not to be trusted with the more
spirited and valuable animals A
Southern planter mentions as advan-
tages of mules over horses: Their
feet are smaller, and so they iniure
the crops less when working in them,
and can be used in closer rows than
horses; they are less liable to disease,
are better feeders, being less fastidi-
GUS as to what they eat, endure hard
ship better, are not so easily injured.
and are steadier to work at the plow.
Ihe experience of most Northern
farmers with mules is that however
serviceable for work on the farm it
is less pleasant and less safe to work
among them. Good horses are none
the worse for the farm, because they
require better care than the mule
will put up with.

A Road Machine

A fullsized model of Mr.. John Jacob
Astor's invention for preparing mac
adamized roads for a fresh coating of
fresh stone is on exhibition at the
worlds fair in the annex of the agri-
cultural building. incidentally this ma
chine cleans the road by blowing away
the Worn-out material. Mr.. Astors
original intention vas merely to use
the machine on the roads of his coun-
try place on the Hudson; but, as it
found so much favor with the neighbor
ing farmers that they were continually
borrowing it, the inventor concluded
that his machine must possess some
merit, and SO secured a patent. Mr..
astor will present machine to the
town of Rhinebeck as soon as one can
be constructed.
