Hears with His Mouth.

A boy whose mouth is wonderful,
In that 1t does the double service Of
tasting and hearing, was in San An
tonic recently. His name is John MI
hand, and his home is at Sablnal. He
vas born ten years ago. Both ears
were closed at birth, and they have
eve been Of service to him. But by
a remarkable freak Of nature his
mouth has done what his ears ought
to have done, and he is not incommod-
ed In the slightest. Several local
doctors examined and tested the pow
ers Of the mouth and pronounced the
case a phenomenon without a par
allel.

A general banking business is done by

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood ofits poisons, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
Of it, is surely a remedy ofgreat value. But
when we make a positive statement that o8

a bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks is tina

Dressing Ducks for Market.

When about to dress ducks for mar
ket keep them without food for twenty
four hours before killing; full crops in
jure the appearance and are liable to
sour. and when this occurs correspond
ingly lower prices must be taken than
are obtained for choice stock.
Never kill ducks by wringing their
necks. XIII by bleeding In the mouth
with a sharp penknife, or better a
k ling knife made for the purpose;
hang by the feet until properly blei.
Leave head and feet on; do not remove
intestire e or crop.
Ducks should be scllded Ia water as
near the boiling point IS possible with
out boiling; but Ii requires more time
for the water to penetrate and loosen
the feathers than when scnld.ng other
poultry. Some parties advises after
scalding. to wrap them In a blanket
for the purpose of steaming. but they
must not be left In this condition long
enough to cook the flesh Two or three
minutes Is the yime recommended. Do
not undertake to pick geese and ducks
just before killing for the sake Of say
ing the feathers, as 1t causes the skin
to be much infiamed. and Is a great
injury for the sale. Do not pick the
feathers of the head; leave til. feath-
ers on for two or three inches on the
neck. Do not SINCE the bodies to re-
move down or hiiir, as the heat from
the flames will give them an oily and
unsightly appearances. Aft r they are
picked clean they should be b Id In
scllding water about ten seconds for
the purpose of Pumping, end then
rinsed off In clean cold water. Fat,
heavy stock Is always preferred.

The Very Earliest Rose.

The earliest certain trace in Greek

Howcr is TO be found in Herodotus, in

lof Macedonia. The sons OF Temenus,

iother part Of Macedonia, and took M
their abode NEAR the Gardens Of
Midas. In these gardens there are
roses which grow of themsclves"-

tention to pruning or budding $50

in this; and their blossoms have as
many as sixty petals apiece"
Every rose grower will at once rec.

tifedis, still, more than two thousand
years afterward, one of the sweetest

old Provence or Cabbage Rose. And

ABSOLUTEEN PURE
An Amphibi0us Craft.

The only vessel of its kind in the
world was built at Christianstad, in
Sweden. in 1890. 1t could be pro-
PEELED on land by means of its own
engines, and was intended for the
traffic on Two lakes close to Borns,
which were separated by n strip OF
land. Rails were laid between the
two lakes, and the steamer was to run
itself across iron one lake to the
other. When tried at the works, the
vessel fulfilled the tests very we'll.
The engine was of ten horse pcwer,
and the boat could accommodate some
sixty passengers.
Another original craft was The
steamship Louvre, built at Nantes, in
France, about three years ago. She
was the first ocean vessel provided
with two central propellers, which
were placed underneath the middle OF
the hull, instead of at the stern. II
was claimed that by this means a
steamer could remain at sea during
the most terrific weather without any
danger being incurred. The Louvre
ran regularly between Paris and
Nantes, calling at Brest. Quite re-
Gently patent was granted in London
for ship, the propulsion of which
was to be insured under all circum.
stances, being fitted with both screw
propellers and paddle wheels, driven
by independent engines. whilo an
other one was secured for steamers
convertible into traction engines =

noARpNa.scHoon co,rrrrs.

The girls of one of our Eastern coll
leges have a novel method of candy
making, which deserves to be known
outside their magic circle--especially
rs the results are particularly de-
licious.
They take a sheet of heavy glazed
writing paper and turn up the four
edges TO q depth of about three-fourths
of m inch. Into this box they pour a
cupful of white sugar and a very little
water, and set on the top Of the stove.
One would think the paper would
burn, but it does not. The sugar
boils up charmingly and looks tempt
ing enough in its dainty receptacle.
When it is nearly done q drop or
two of flavoring is added, or just be.
fore taking from the fire some nut
meats are strewn over its surface. It
is then taken of the stove and set to
float in its paper box in a bowl or
basin of cold water. When cold it
should be brittle and then the paper
can be peeled of, and a dainty square
of toothsome candy is the reward.
1t is great fun to make, and. will sur
prise your friends if they chance to
see it boiling in its paper box.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Every farmer should keep books,
and set down all the items of receipts
and expenses.
Sheep will eat great many plants
which cattle reject, and they Craze
close to the ground.
Young and tender weeds are delica.
cies to sheep, and they, therefore, as
sist in ridding the fields of such pests.
Every farmer should have a few
sheep in order to save much of the
material grown that would be wasted.
A small flock of mutton sheep
should be kept, If for no other pur-
pose than to supply the family with
choice meat.
Whole oats are not the best feed for
hens that are laying. They are not
concentrated enough, and wheat, which
contains much the same elements of
food as does the grain of the oat, is
much better.
For young chicks there is no better
food than ground oats sifted SO as to
take out the coarser chaff, and make
it into a cake. This will be eaten
readily, and it will make the young
fowls grow thriftily, even while pro.
ducing feathers, which is always the
most critical period of their growth.
Farmers do not have that knowI.
edge of their affairs that they should,
as many of them keep no books.
When the census is being taken they
can give but little information in re-
gard to the number of bushels of grain
grown each year Or the value of their
live stock, hence much must be de.
rived from estimates rather than from
facts presented.
There are many old pastures which
can be much improved by narrowing
with a forty tooth drag that will cut
into the surface soil. This will admit
air to places covered by moss, and en-.
able the grass to grow more vigorous.
| ly. OF course some of the roots of the
grass wall be destroyed; but the stir.
ring OF the soil will make more grow
in their places. If there is much moss
on the surface it will require under
/ draining TO remove surplus water tc
make permanent improvement.

why Euroncnns Hnt HORSE.

Consul Tingle says that with beeI
from fifteen TO twenty-five cents a
pound, and other first-class meats
upon corresponding scale Of prices,
II is only on the rarest occasions that
the average European workman, earn
ing seventy-five cents or 81 day, can
furnish his family with the kind of
meat the American workman eats The
German workman's task is, however,
Just as eXacting as that of his trans.
atlantic contemporary. He must, il
he would keep up his bodily strength,
have ms much nutrimeut, oven IL il is
OF a coarser nature. The demand ex.
listing, therefore, the supply has been
found. II is horsehesh.
I'm Germany" the Consul reports,
'the prejudice against horse meat is
fast disappearing. The workman has
found that for seven cents n pound he
can procure food excellent in every
particular, and MS the knowledge
grows, tho demand for horsohesh
grows with it, But it is beginning TO
be difficult TO keep the supply up to
the demand.
Formerly tho German butcher
procured horses which were either
worn out or injured so as TO be useless
FOR working purposes for from 80 to
$40 each. Tho supply of horses OF
this character has been we'll nigh ex-
hausted, however, and he must now
pay from S35 to $50 for his horses.
The consequence is, that just as people
have become attracted to horse meat
because of its exceeding cheapness in
comparison with beef, tho butcher
finds he must increase prices"
Consul Tinge says that the meat is
used in Germany salted, smoked and
fresh. He suggests that shipments
from America be made con the hoof, 4"
for in that way horses are admitted at
a tariff of S4.75 head, and doubt
about the purity of tho meat is
avoided. He says the German butchers
pay $35 head Tor worn out horses,
and that fresh American horses would
be worth more However, il but $50
a head was received for live American
horses, he says there would be profit
in the shipment, because. allowing
81. rs for duty and 81 for transporta-
ton, it would leave S25. % to the pro-
