A Thoughtful Elephan..

In India domesticated elephants are
usually given drinks from large wooden
troughs filled with we'll water by
means Of pump, and it is commonly
an elephant that fills his trough.
Every morning he goes regularly to
his task. While visiting a friend al
his fine residence in India, CORE
spondent of paper saw a large ele-
phant engaged in pumping such a
trough full of water. He continues
Gin passing I noticed that one oi
the two tree-trunks which supp orted
the trough at either end had rolled
from it's place, SO that the trough,
still elevated at one extremity. would
begin to empty itself as soon as the
water reached the level of the top at
the other end, which lay on the
ground. 1 stopped to see if the ele.
phant would discover anything wrong.
Soon the water began to run off al
the end which had lost it's support.
The animal showed signs of perplexity
when he saw this; but, as the end
nearest him lacked much of being full,
he continued to pump.
"Finally, seeing that the water con
tinued to pass off, he left the Pump
handle and began to consider the
phenomenon. He seemed to find it diff
cult to explain. Three times he re
turned to his pumping, and three
times he examined the trough. 1 wa!

A Gorilla Dissected.

An autopsy was held upon the body
Of Gumbo, the gorilla which died re-
Gently at Boston. Professor Franklin
Dexter, of the Harvard Medical School,
and Professor Councilman, formerly
of Johns Hopkins University of Balti-
more, now professor of pathology at
Harvard, conducted the examination,
says the Hartford (Conn. Times. Con-
sumption was found to have been the
cause of death. The doctors decided
that Gumbo was about forty years old.
and that he had had the germs of
tubercular consumption of the slow
variety, which is a disease the simia
are particularly subject to in this eli
mate.
One discovery was that of sort OF
pouch or bag in the chest, in front OF
the lungs and connected by means Of
an independent valve with the trachea

the organ employed by the gorillas in
making their peculiar roar.
The brain weighed seventeen ounces.
In it's structure it bears striking re-
semblance to the human brain, being,
however, broader at the base and mar

less number of convolutions. The

A Good Kind OF Food.

No sort of food is better for the
complexion than oatmeal and oranges.
The finest compilations in the world
are those of the Spanish and italian
ladies, who live largely on coarse
grained food and fruit like the orange
and banana. 1t is said that many
ladies are living almost entirely on
oranges. Half dozen for breakfast
with cup of coffee, dozen for lunch
with a glass of milk and saucer of
oatmeal, and dozen n ore for supper
with crust of bread and a sip of tea,
may not be high living in the proper
sense of the word, but such course
of diet will bring complexion which
will drive almost any belle out of her
head with envy. New York Adver.

THE FEEDING VALUE OF ROOTS.

There are many substances which il
chemical analysis be taken as the sole
guide for feeding value, would appear
to be ideal rations, yet it is sometimes
found that either the animals will re.
fuse to eat them altogether, or fail to
do we'll when restricted to them, writes
II. w. Mumford, of Michigan. 1t is
important, then, that foods should be
appetizing, that they should be
relished by the stock. Again, one
cannot consistently advise the use OF
articles of food, at least to any con-
siderable extent, unless it can be
pro6tably produced or purchased at a
comparatively reasonable figure in the
markets.
The chemical analysis of roots has
proven satisfactory, they are relished
by stock, they can be profitably
grown, and when fed out to farm ami
mails experience has shown that the
results obtained have come up to all
reasonable expectations. I find them
valuable as q food for all farm stock.
Horses soon learn to like them and
it has been custom with me to feed
about two good-sized roots to horse
every day. All the young cattle get
rutabagas, seldom more than sixty
pounds of cut roots day, depending
on the age and size of the animal.
I aim to feed the COWS on what sugar
beets they will eat up clean. The
brood SOW gets few roots every day
and seems to eat and relish them as
we'll as grain. Poultry are fond of 6
light feed of finely chopped beets al
frequent intervals.
While advocate the feeding oil
roots to all farm animals, where sue
culent food in some other form is not
available, yet I believe that roots are
pre-eminently most valuable and ar
economic food for sheep. At the
Michigan experiment station, in al
experiment conducted to ascertain the
relative value of ensilage and roots
for fattening lambs, the roots gave
much the most marked results. Not
only this, but the economic value G
roots as factor in the ration of fat
tening lambs was conclusively proven
It is very expensive to construct I
silo and get suitable machinery, Will,
in raising and feeding roots no grea
initial outlay Is occasioned and the
roots furnish valuable succulent food

TO KEEP THE NESTS AND EGGS CLEAN.


As those eggs which are the cleanest
and brightest looking usually bring
the highest price when marketed, the
keeping of the nest clean, SO that the
eggs may be SO, is no doubt one way
by which you can make your eggs
bring higher price than those OF
your neighbors. There is no secret
whatever to be found out in order to
accomplish this, as all that one will
have to do is to be watchful and see
that whatever you may keep in your
nest to make it soft is changed when
ever it may be needful. The eggs can
never be clean if the nest is dirty; but
if the nest is clean you will undoubt-
edly find the eggs so, hence it is in
the nest the work will have to be dc ne
in order that the "hen fruit" may
have that clear, bright and clean ap-
pearance which catches the eye of the
consumer. To keep the nest clean is
a very easy matter; all that will be
needed is to change the hay, straw, or
leaves. or whatever may be used, about
once week. When you are cleaning
out the nest in this manner good idea
would be to give it thick coat of
whitewash. This Will make it look
better and will also drive away from
the vicinity of the nest the lice, which
are SO troublesome to the hens when
laying. g.-New York Witness.

THE CULTIVATION or vronars.

Violets grown entirely in cold frames
will require considerable care to in
sure supply OF flowers during the
winter months. If leaves have not al
ready been packed about tho frames
for additional protection, this should
be done at once. A litter OF manure,
straw or hay affords fairly good pro-
lection, but none of these keep out
cold rs well as leaves, and they are oil
less tidy-iooking. IT frame is prop

panes longer than twenty-four hours
at time if it can possibly be avoided
the plants need all the light and air
they can get during the dark months,
and if the frames are covered over for
a week or ten days at time the plants
suffer greatly. Mold will quickly
spread among the crowns and the
leaves become weak and spindling.
The plants ought to be picked over
once q week, and any diseased or de-
caying foliage removed. fany green

The Lady Hume Campbell Violets
are entirely free from spot this sea-
son, and this variety seems equally
clean in other places. It does not,
however, bloom as freely as the Marie
Louise at this season of the year, and
the flowers, while of good size, are
somewhat paler in color than those of
Marie Louise. Swanley White is also
free from spot, but we have had some
little trouble with this disease on
Marie Louise, and especially on lifted
plants. The plants grown in frames.
during the summer have made the
most vigorous and the healthiest
plants. AS remedy for spot we have
used Fir-tree oil once a week with
good results. A small handful of salt
is mixed in each twelve-quart can of
the Fir-tree oil mixture, and the ap-
plication is made about midday,
while the sun is shining full on the
plants.
We find that our plants at this sea-
con dry out sufficiently to take mod
crate watering once a fortnight, but
they will need less water from now

ing should be done early enough in
the day for the foliage to become
quite dry before nightfall, and air
should be admitted on every favor

In recent article on Coffee and Cocoa, the
eminent German Chemist, Professor Stutzer,
speaking of the Dutch process of preparing
Cocoa by the addition Of potash, and Of the
process common in Germany in which ammo
mia is added, says; 1.-THE only result Of these
processes is to make the liquid appear turbid
to the eye Of the consumer, without effecting
a real solution of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation for the purpose Of So
called solubility is, therefore, more or less in
spired by deception. and always takes place at
the cost of purity, pleasant taste, useful action
and aromatic flavor. The treatment Of Cocoa
by such chemical means is entirely objection
able. Cocoa treated with potash or
ammonia would be entirely unstable but for
the supplementary addition of artificial favors
by which a poor substitute for the aroma
driven out into the afr is offered to the con-
sumer." The delicious Breakfast Cocoa made
by Walter Baker & Co., of Dorchester, Mass,

MIOHIGAN'S BENEFAOlUR.
AN OFT REPEATED STORY OF TRUE
PHfLANTHR ROPY.

What Chas. n. Hackley Has Done for
Western Michigan.
(From Grand Rapids, Mich, Ecening Press }
The most beautiful spot in all this city Is
inseparably associated with the name OF
Hackley. Chas. H. Hackley has been In the
lumber business he-e continuously since
1853, and in that time has amassed q fortune
which gives him rating among the wealthy
men Of the nation. But with wealth there
did not come that tightening Of the purse
strings which is generally marked charac-
teristic OF wealthy men.
II is no wonder then that the name OF
Charles II. Hackley is known at home and
abroad. His munihcence to Muskegon
alone represents an outlay OF nearly half
million. For the past twenty years he has
been constant sufferer from neuralgia and
rheumatism, also numbness of the lower
limbs, so much 80 that It has seriously inter-
fered with his pleasure in life. For some
time past his friends have noticed that he
has seemed to grow young again and to
have recovered the health which he had in
youth
To a reporter for the News Mr.. Hackley
explained the secret OF this transformation.
"T have suffered for over 20 years." he said,
"with pains in my lower limbs so severely
that the only relief could get at night was
nv putting cold water congresses on my
limbs. Twas bothered more at night than
in the day time. The neuralgia and rheu-
matte pains in my limbs. which had been

cases so nearly resembled mine that was
interested. so wrote to one who had given
testimonial, az eminent professor ofmusic
in Canada. The reply received was even
stronger THAI the printed testimonial, and It
gave me faith in the medicine.
II began taking the pills and found them
to be all that the professor had told me they
would be. 1t was two or three months be-
fore experienced any perceptible better
ment of my condition. My disease was OF
such long standing that did not expect
speedy recovery and was thankful even to
be relieved. progressed rapidly, however,
towards recovery and for thelast six months
have felt myself perfectly we'll man. I
have recommended the pills to many people
and am only too glad to assist others to

HOW TO WATER PLANTS.

One reason why plants fade SO soon
in ordinary living rooms is because
due attention is not paid to them.
The mere supplying them with water
is not enough; the leaves should be
kept perfectly clean, for plants
breathe by their leaves, and If their
surfaces are clogged with dust, respir-
alton is hindered, or may be alto
gether prevented. Plants perspire by
their leaves. too, and dirt, of course,
impedes this perspiration and as they
also feed in the same manner, it is
evident that there can be no thriving
and growth without real cleanliness.
Cast the eyes upon the foliage of
plants kept in the ordinary sitting
room, then draw white handkerchief
over the leaves, and it will be seen
that they are far from being as clean
as their nature required. d.-St. Louis
