Healthy Bank Notes.

The Bank of England never reis.
sues note. Every bill passed over
its counter from the inside is crisp
and new, free from bacteria. bacilli,
microbes or any other disease germs.
A London newspaper states that even
if a customer should draw a check,
receiving these new bill, and then de-
eide that he preferred coin, the man
in charge of this department would
take the notes, tear a corner from
each, and pass over the gold. The
bills are then burned without cere-
mony.
The Bank of Frence also issues only
new notes. but for fourteen years it
has turned the old ones into pulp in
stead of burning them. 1t takes about
twenty-four hours to transform them
into blacklsh pulp, useful only fo1
the backs of ledgers or cardboard OF
low quality. As a sanitary measure
this destruction is probably wise, and
in the end may be even economical.

thorough grooming is that the health
of the horse requires that the pores o1
the skin be kept open by removing
dust and secretions, and that both skin
and muscles be rubbed to replace the
natural muscular movements which
the stabling and work prevent. The
good results of careful grooming are
so apparent that person with the
healthy skin which follows from
proper bathing, rubbing and feeding,
is said to be we'll groomed.
Muddy legs and manure stains may
be washed off with warm water, being
careful to rub the hair and skin dry
Immediately. In warm weather it is
good plan to give the horse an oc-
casional bath all over, and then rub
him dry. SO that he does not chill and
catch cold. The hard-working farm
horse should be groomed three times
q day. At noon the harness should be
removed ard the face and sweaty
places rubbed with soft Fstraw or hay.
At night the shoulders, the back and
the muddy legs should be washed
off with warm water and rubbed
dry. Then and also in the morning
he should be rubbed all over with the
brush and cloth or straw, using the
currycomb to remove dirt from the
hair, and to clean the brush. Cleanli-
ness pays. -Dicel McLaren, in Farm,
Field and Fireside.

Tho Brazilian Anaconda.

The late Mr.. Bates, in his eleven
years spent in the Brazilian forests,
saw and heard more of the habits OF
the anaconda than most travellers,
though, like other great serpents, the
individuals of this species are so little
common that their appearance in any
one district is too infrequent to make
special study of their habits part oi
the days work of busy naturalist.
Bates's first personal experience of the
creature shows how impossible it is to
avoid the python by the ordinary
means of isolation sufficient to keep
other dangerous creatures at dis
tance. He was at anchor, in large
boat, in deep water, in the port OF
Antonio Malagueita.
An anaconda swan out to the boat,
lifted its head from the water, broke
in the side of fowlhouse on deck, and
carried off couple of fowls. It was
found that this snake had been steal.
ing ducks and fowls from this part OF
the river for months, SO hunt was
organized, miles of river bank were
searched, and the serpent at last found
summing itself in muddy creek and
killed. 1t was mot large specimen,
only eighteen feet nine inches long"
But Mr. Bates measured skins of ana
condas which were twenty-one feet in
length and two feet in girth, and he
adds: "There can be no doubt that
this formidable serpent grows to an
enormous bulk, and lives to O great
age, for I have heard of specimens
having been killed which measured
forty-two feet in length, or double the
size of the largest which I had the op.
portunity of examining" We must
add a correction here. They were
double the length; but the eize oi
these great reptiles, like that of fish,
increases enormously with every addi
tion in longitudinal growth.
A snake OF twenty feet in length
would be probably four times the
weight of one ten feet long, and the
bulk of forty-foot anaconda would
approach that of the largest crocodile.
Since the publication of "The Natura'
lists Voyage on the Amazons", an ana
conda of twenty feet has been brought
to the Natural History Museum a
South Kensington. A neighbor o
Bates, in Brazil, nearly lost his ten
year-old son by the attack of an ana
conda. He had left the boy in hi
boat while he went to gather fruit, ant
on his return found him encircled BY
the snake, whose jaws the father seized
and actually tore them asunder. The

How Hunters Can Avoid Accidents.

A correspondent of the American
Field sends that paper the following
rules, which, if carefully observed by
those carrying weapons, will avoid
many sad accidents.
First-Never, under any circum-
stances, point your gun toward hu-
man being.
Second-Never carry it SO that if it
were accidently discharged it would
even endanger the life of dog.
Third-Always think which way
your gun is pointed, and if compan-
ion is in the field with you, no matter
how near or how tempting the game
appears, do not shoot until you know
where he is; stray shot may be suf-
ficient to destroy al eye forever.
Fourth-Never carry loaded gun
in a wagon.
Fifth-Never carry loaded gun
over fence; put it through and then
get over.
Sixth-Always carry gun at half
cock; if breechloader, never let the
hammers rest on the plungers.
Seventh-Never get in front of
gun; if you are falling drop it SO that
the muzzle will be from you.
Eighth-If the cartridge sticks the
stout blade of a knife Will probably
extract it; if not, take out the other
cartridge, cut a straight stick and poke
it out from qhe muzzle; even then do
not get in front of n gun.
Ninth-After firing one barrel take
the cartridge out of the other and ex.
anime the wad to see that it is not
loosened, as it sometimes is after
heavy recoil, for, should it get up into
the barrel, it is liable to burst the gun.
Tenth.-Never take hold of the muz-
zle of gun to draw it toward you.
Eleventh-Never set gun up SO that
if it should fall the muzzle would be
toward you.
Twelfth-Never keep loaded gun
in the house.
Follow all these rules, be self-pos-
sessed and the fields will afford you
sport without danger.

CARE OF THE RASPBERRY.

If the old wood of the raspberry
bushes has not already been cut out,
leaving only the last summers growth,
it should be done now. The long
canes should be cut back. Tender
varieties can all be bent over one way
and weighted down or pegged down
and covered with three or four inches
of soil. After freezing weather is
over in the spring the vines should be
loosely tied to single stakes or to a
wire if preferred. The hardy varie-
ties, such as the Cuthbert, Turner end
other of the newer varieties will need
no protection. n.---American Agricultur.

GROWING ONIONS FROM SETS.

Onion sets are the small bulbs pro.
duced from late-sown seed on poor
land and taken up in the fall and
dried. They are planted on rich land
in the spring in rows twelve inches
apart, and three inches apart in the
rows, requiring about twenty-four
bushels to the acre. The plants grow
quickly and make marketable onions
by July or August. It is necessary to
watch the crop, and when the swollen
seed stems appear these are twisted
and broken down to prevent the forma-
tion of blossoms, by which the growth
of tho bulb will be checked. Onions
may be kept quite safely if thoroughly
dried and stored in dry, cool place,
and if frozen in the winter will not
take any harm if kept in that condi-
tion and thawed gradually in the
spring.-New York Times.

cuRRyINn HORSES.

The horse is very cleanly animal,
and if lie is not running in the fields
where he can roll snd rub, his hair
and skin should be thoroughly cleaned
every day to keep him in good health
and condition. Mud and manure
should be rubbed off with handful
of straw or hay, and the wet hair
wiped dry with other clean handfuls.
Then the whole skin should be gone
over with currycomb having fine,
round, pointed teeth, followed by a
good, clean brush. Straw and DIRT
should be untansled from the name
and tail with the fingers. Cards pull
out too much hair, though good,

should be done with the brush,

Ashford disgraced his family by q

THE BEST BREED OF FOWLS.

The question of which is the best
breed of fowls narrows down to this:
What fowl do you like best? Which
style and color takes your eye? Can
you give the proper housing and care
that the tenderer breeds require !?
Will you have to subject your fowls
to just ordinary houses and care? The
breed one fancies most will in the
majority of cases receive the best care,
which naturally results in the most
profit. If one prefers fine feathers
and o beautiful form and carriage
rather than q strictly economic fowl,
there are many breeds from which to
make selection. If general pur-
pose fowl is wanted, the list to select
from was never SO long as it is to-day.
If beauty and Utility combined are
wanted, there are several breeds to
select from, either one of which should
satisfy any reasonable person. There
is much truth in the saying, "feed
makes the breed" The best breed in
the world, whichever one may be go
considered by the owner, will be a
failure and disappointment if kept
under unfavorable conditions and in
judiciously fed. therefore we would
add to the above, A'feed and care make
the breed" We do not know of any
breed which with proper care and feed
will not plove reasonably profitable
both in pleasure and money. In
making selection ote's circumstances
and surroundings should be taken into
account; where one breed would be
perfectly hardy and thrive we'll,
another breed would not do at all we'll.
Therefore it behotves one to guard
against letting a sudden fancy run
away with good Judgment.
Those who are just considering the
subject, 1 would earnestly advise
taking plenty of time to look the field
over thoroughly before making up
their minds. One is apt to be favor
ably impressed with the appearance
Of certain breed, which after due
thought would be rejected for good
and sufficient reason, whereas if on
the first impulse it had been bought,
it would prove disappointment and
entail loss. Thoss who are contin.
.ally changing the breed very seldom
are satisfied with anything and usually
end by giving the wnole up in disgust.
