HINTS FOR hORSEMEN.

In case of fire in stables, put sad
die on your horse and you can lead
him out without difficulty.
JUST before driving light feed OF
oats should be given instead of heav'
Ter feed of more bulky grain.
THE power and longevity of the
horse are in exact ratio to the intelli-
gent care and feeding he receives.
HORSES recovering or suffering from
facilitating diseases are readily over
come by heat and should not be pat to
exhaustive work.
THE horse was used as food by the
early Saxon settlers OF Britain, but as
civilization advanced horsefesh be-
came questionable.
In training colt the safest rule Is
to teach him one thing at time, and
be sure that it is learned thoroughly
before attempting something else.
BY using bit that hurts you will
teach colt to dread the bit and shrink
from it.. This should never be. He
should be taught to drive well up on
the bit and yield Q quick obedieEee to
It.

Barley as q Food for Hogs.

AS we arc pretty sure that western
Kansas will produce small grain nine
seasons out of ten, and as our farmers
are well started in the raising of bar
lev, we also have this as substitute
for corn to fall back on should it be
required. Our farmers have made
good use of barley for the last three
or four years, in feeding hogs. We do
not claim that barley is as good for
fattening purposes as corn, still, it
makes good substitute, and we can
raise four crops of barley to one of
corn. Some of our farmers used rye
for fattening their hogs; it has its
good points, as it will furnish feed in
the winter and spring, and make
some grain for fattening in the fall.
If our farmers would raise more broom
corn, the seed could be utilized to fat
ten hogs. know of farmers here who
have kept their hogs all winter in q

HEALTHFULNeSS OF HOUSES.
Cleanliness Does Much to Ward OF Infec-
tious Diseases.

Cleanliness Does Much to Ward or Infec-
tious Diseases.
Houses which have unwholesomc sur
roundings, or which are built on un-
sanitary principles, are apt to become
known for an unusual amount of sick
ness within them. Houses not UNI
healthful in construction or surround
ings may acquire a like evil name
through lack of care to keep them in a
sanitary condition.
One way in which sickness is propa-
gated is by neglect of thorough dis
infection of the room and house in
which sickness has occurred. Disin-
fiction in fact, is very rarely performed
in cases of consumption, and is espe
cially apt to be neglected if the family
occupying the house is about to re-
move.
The almost inevitable result of such
neglect is that unsuspecting persons
are exposed to severe and perhaps ia
tai illness. A history like the follow
ing is not uncommon: Sickness of an
infectious nature occurs in u house
which has been considered healthful.
The occupants move out; another fam
lily move in, in which the same disease
soon appears Such sequences have
been known to occur in cases of dip
liberia, scarlet fever and consumption.
AS rule, in such cases an investiga-
ton is sooner or later demanded, either
by the municipal board of health or by
private individuals. In cities where
the occurrence of any contagious dis
ease is Immediately made known to
health department, an outbreak of
several cases of the same nature in the
one house at once leads to an ivestiga-
ton.
In these days all germ" diseases, in
Guiding cholera, consumption, typhoid
fever, diphtheria-- short all con-
tagious diseases-are looked upon as
preventable. AS an important part of
such prevention, all houses should re-
ceive a thorough cleaning, together
with distinction of their walls,
floors and ceilings, after each case of
infectious disease.
Much responsibility for the observ-
ance of these precautions rests with
the householder. If everyone, on TAX
ing a house in which there have been
cases of sickness, would insist on hav-
ing it disinfected before moving in,
much illness would be prevented

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.


Fleets should never be pared or cut
la the least. Wash with a brush, and
boil until they can be easily pierced
with fork. This will be from two to
three hours. Skim them out and cover
with cold water, when the skins can
be easily removed,
Burnt Sugar Cream; Take q tea
cupful of sugar, put it on the fire in an
iron skillet, and cook until it becomes
of the consistency of candy. Make
quart offrich custard seasoned with
cinnamon and add the sugar to it.
Both must be hot when first mixed. At
first it will look as if the sugar had
spoiled the custard, but when dissolved
it seasons deliciously. For more custard
double the quantity of sugar. Freeze
as ice cream, Good Housekeeping.
--Stewed Apples: Put cupful of
water the same amount or sugar, and
a few bits of stick cinnamon, in an
agate saucepan and boil slowly fifteen
minutes. Pare and core eight medium
sized apples arrange on the bottom OF
saucepan; remove the spice from the
sirup and pour it over the apples;
cover closely and stew until tender,
but not broken. Serve cold with
swectened, whipped cream, or stiti1y-
beaten and sweetened whites of eggs.

other layer of dry flour, put on top
crust, slit in one or two places. Fold
strip of cloth two inches wide, wet in
cold water, round edge of crust and

ANCIENT ELECTRICIANS.
Some Interesting Theories Advanced by
Biblical Student.

SOihN ihttiVshhR hhNhhttN w ~
Biblical Student.
Since the startling discovery that Jo-
seph, in Egypt, was the original single
taxer, excessive establishment need not
greet the revelation that the ancient
prophet Moses was probably the father
of electricians. AS King Solomon de-
clared, there is nothing new under the
sun. The theory that electricity, which
this age prides itself upon as its own
peculiar glory, is as old as the Ten Com
mandments, and was well known to the
Israelites, if not to the PhGnicians, has
been advanced by shrewd biblical
student, C. b. Warrand. AS Piazzi
.Smyth has sought to establish
the wonderful astronomical genius
of the old Egyptians by thor
ough investigation of the great pyra-
mid, so Mr.. Warrand has brought
modern science to bear upon the ark Of
the covenant and the temple of the
ancient Israelites. When Moses built
his box for the commandment tablets,
he rejected the common cedar and
other native woods and chose fir wood,
which had to be imported by the
Phnnician merchants from the south
ern part of Europe.
Now, fir happens to be the best
known non-conductor among all the
great number of various timbers. Fur
thermore, Moses had this fir box lined
inside and outside with beaten gold
thus converting the art of the covenant
into a very expensive, but very perfect,
Leyden jar, or storage battery for cleo
tricity. Edison or Tesla" declares
Mr.. Warrond, could not have improved
upon Moses fir and gold box" The
carbon in the fir of the ark of the COW
enant charged the strange battery.
Aaron improved upon this by the
building of poles fifty ellis lone hundred
and fifty feet high These poles were
covered with beaten gold, and gold
chains were hung from the poles to the
ark-a method by which the prophet
secured complete and powerful cleo
trical connection, His sons were killed,
without wounds or bruises, by fire
breaking out of the ark. Investigator
Warrand has asserted that in order to
deal death from this apparatus Aaron
had only TO remove the costly camel's
hair carpets, which were almost per-
feet non-conductors of electricity, and
make the culprit stand on terra firma
That several members of revolving
tribes of Israelites were thus electro
cuted is also matter of record in the
Bible. In building the temple Solo
mon found that copper would do as
well as gold. He had the temple GOV
cred with copper, and copper water
pipes led into the cisterns inside the
temple. On the temple or rather OF
its roof, number of gilt spears were
placed in vertical positions, from six
teen to twenty-four feet high. All these
curious facts may not be convincing
but they certainly compel us to won

A FAMOUS WARsHlP.
Sad Fate of the K6nrsarge, Conqueror q
the Alabama.


tho Alabama.
Standing before the bulletin-boards
OF any of the newspapers of the coun-
try, on a morning in the early days Of
last February, we should have found
ourselves in group OF people eagerly
discussing the news. We should have
heard EXPLANATIONS of surprise, sor-
row. and regret arising on every side;
"What! the old Kearsarge wrecked"
"What pity to lose the famous old
shipl" TOO bad that she should be
lostl"--while the older men in the
crowds, turning to the younger, were
recalling incidents of those stirring
times when the Alabama, built in
England for the confederate states,
was for nearly two years the terror of
the seas.
During the height of the civil war,
from the Sunday, August "a, 1862, when
she was put in commission under the
command of Capt Raphael Semmes,
near the Azores, TO that Sunday, June
10, 1864, when she was sunk off the
coast of France, the Alabama roamed
at will over the North Atlantic, South
Atlantic and Indian oceans. From
Newfoundland TO Singapore her name
was known and spoken with fear. APP
pearing and disappearing, she captured
and looted prizes, pursued and de-
stroyed merchantmen, but eluded all
naval pursuit. Escaping every danger,
she accomplished more work and did
more harm than any other ship OF an
cient or modern times.
So great, indeed, was the injury done
to American commerce, that at length
the government built ship of good
live-oak in the navy-yard of Ports
mouth, N. H., and naming her the
Kearsarge, after one of the mountain
peaks of the Old Granite State, com-
missioned her, under the command OF
Capt. John A. Winslow, to hunt down
this famous "Corsair of the Seas"
The Kearsarge Immediately went in
search of the Alabama, and found her
at last In the harbor of Cherbourg, on
the northern coast of France. The
Alabama had run in there for coal,
and Capt. Winslow, having made sure
of his famous enemy, awaited her OIL
the coast Visitors from Paris, and all
the country round, floclted to town, as
rumors of coming naval combat filled
tho air, and the rumors proved not with
out foundation; for on Sunday morn
ing, June 10, 1864, while thousands o!
spectators lined the shore, the Ala
bama, flushed with her past exploits
and confident of success, sailed proudly
out to meet the Kcarsarge beyond thu
neutral waters of the bay.
"Wc, as victors, will continue las
nights festivities on shore this even
ing" said the Alabama's officers t,
their friends, on taking leave, laughing
merrily over the hand-shaliings AM
good-bys. One hour and two minute
from the time the first guns were fired
those very confident officers were swim
ming for their lives, and the Alabama
riddled with shot and she'll, her hui
pierced through and through by tn
elevcn-inch shells from the great after
pivot gun of the Kearsargc, and wit
many of her crew killed and wounded
had disappeared forever beneath tn
waves.
