War is being waged in England
against the use OF the word scientist.
The Duke of Argyll, Sir John Lubbock.
Lord Rayleigh, Lord Kelvin and Pro-
fessor Huxley unreservedly condemn
the word. Sir John Lubbock proposes
philosopher instead. Lords Rayleigh
and Kelvin prefer naturalist. Profes-
sor Huxley thinks that scientist must
be about as pleasing as electrocution
to any one who respects the English
language. Grant Allen, while dieap-
proving of the word, thinks it is ped.
antry to object to a new word,
when it Is used by majority of per-
sons. After the camels OF altruism
and sociology, scientist is comparative.
ly a gnat. Alfred Wallace alone is
not disturbed by the word. He de-
scribes it as useful and argues that
since we have biologist, chemist,
physicist and specialist, we might as
we'll Use scientist, and he further
asks, "What is there to use instead?"
Science Gossip says the word was first
invented and used by Whewell in
his Philosophy of the Inductive
Sciences" in 1910.

Advantages OF Boiling MIX.

The practice of subjecting milk to
boiling heat before consumption
notes the London Lancet, has of late
been widely adopted in European
countries, whose public hygiene has
hitherto been such as to counsel every
means Of minimizing the conveyance
of infection. 1t has been shown that
milk, after boiling, is not only more
easily digested, but has actually high
er nutrient value than in the crude
state. We allude especially to DIR.
Chamouin's experiments. in which he
fed number of kittens on boiled milk
and an equal number Of kittens on
the same milk as it came direct from
the COW or goat. Those OF the former
category he found to be twice as fat
and healthy as those of the latter.
Following up this demonstration, DIR.
Chamouin examined the statistics
oS"''y iosuCu oy tuc tOWu COluCll
OF Paris, as to the iniantile mortality
OF that city, and finding that the chief
cause OF this was, directly or remotely.
intestinal ailments, he persucd his
researches still further, so as to in
clude a comparison between those in
fants that had been fed on unboiled
milk. As he anticipated, he found Il
remarkable diminution in the death
rate OF the former. His investigation
was continued long enough to show
that thousands Of infants are Annually
safeguarded from intestinal disease and
death by the precaution of boiling the
milk on which they are fed.

japanese Candies.
Chicago Herald.

1t is wonder to me that the Jap
anese candy is not imported into the
United States. Ibelieve that some en-
terprising man like the fellow who got
up these digesting chewing gums could
make fortune by shipping Japan
ese sweet which is known as midzuame
into the United States. This is a
delicious candy, much more palatable
than gumdrops and of about the same
nature. 1t is said to be excellent for
dyspepsia, and some people take it
after their meals. 1t ia made also in
the form of syrup, and it looks like a
thick, golden molasses and is much
better to the taste. 1t could be used
for cakes, and the babies could eat it
without danger. 1t is made from rice
and wheat, and it is believed that the
same sweet could be made here from
Indian corn. Other candies are made
of beans, and all these sweets could be
imported to the United States and sold
at good prices. There is hardly any
thing we use that the Japanese could
not make cheaper than we do, and
there are very few things which they
do not make as we'll. They are now
building watch factories. The wages
are remarkably low, and their work
ingmen can live like lords on what our
labOrers would starve on.

Electrical Farming.

1t has been supposed that the horse
would never have his position shaken
as the draught animal of the farm
But there are some electricians who
not content with supplanting him as a
means of public conveyance, propose
that he shall join the OK as disused
beast of burden whose only available
field shall be the butchers hook and
the table. One OF the scientists said
to Nail and Express reporter:
AT last practical steps have been
made to apply electricity to farming
Ours is still An agricultural nation,
and the rural population has long been
impatient that every branch OF industry
should be ahead of the farming indus
try in the march of improvement.
Evidence of needless steps and wasted
effort are seen all over the farm.
1--WE expect that the crops of the
future shall be sowed by electricity
just as they are now often reaped by
the storm and failed out OF the light
ming. We will establish a dead
line OF wires about the wheat fields
which will shrivel up every grasshop-
per that passes it. We will gather tn e
grain and pitch the hay and husk the
corn and thrash the straw by cleo
tricity.
"Recent experiments in electrical
plOwing in Germany show that on
large farms saving of fully fifty per
cent. on the old methods may be ef-
fected. Similar success has followed
National and State experiments in
Kansas and Alabama. The great farms
of the West which use steam plows
may before long adopt electricity. For
small farms it is suggested that CO.
operation to establish central station
plant would be practicable. In the
trolley neighborhoods power could
even now be obtained by tapping the
electric railway circuits"

THR New York Tribune says: Not
one OF the members of Congress who
is clamoring so loudly for free silver
coinage would be willing to have a
practical application of it made in his
case. He would not accept his salary
as member of Congress if it was
rendered him in silver dollars 4I2J
grains, but he would insist upon being
paid in notes which the government
maintains with so much difficulty on
a parity with gold, and at the same
time he would not raise his voice to
assist the government at a time
when it is appealing for the pas.
sage OF q measure for the relief of the
treasury. The consistency OF the ad.
vocates Of free silver in Congress is on
a par with that of bankers in Denver
COL, who are now boarding gold not
for the purpose of paying for the new
bonds which are to be issued, but so AZ
to be prepared for a premium on gold
whenever the country gets upon a
silver basis, towards which it seems to
be drifting.

Wind up your watch every day at
the same hour. Avoid putting it on q
marble slab or near anything cold.
The sudden transition from heat to
cold, contracting the metal, may some
times cause the main spring to break.
Indeed the cold coagulstes the oil,
and the pivots and wheels, working
less freely, affect the regularity of the
time-keeper. In laying aside your
watch, be sure that it rests on its case.
By suspending it the action of the
balance may cause oscillation, which
may considerably interfere with its
going. If you keep your watch clean,
you must be quite sure that the case
fits firmly and never put it in any
pocket but one made OF leather.
Those pockets which are lined with
cloth, cotton, calico, etc., give by the
constant friction a certain quantity OF
fluff, which enters into watches, even
those with cases which shut firmly.

THE STATE CAPITOL.
W hat One OF the Commissioners
Says of the Work.

! W Vic OI tne SOmh1AStOheE
Says of the Work.
Charles F. Munday, q member o
the State Capitol Commission, sayi
relative to the building OF the Stat,
capitol at this time
This enabling act granted the
State 1872 900 acres OF land for public
buildings at the capital, and of this
S2,o73.62 acres, appraised at $969.926
have deem selected and the selections
approved by the general land office
That leaves 49.I26.3S acres to be Sc
lected. In August, 1894, Congres,
passed an act authorizing the State to
have land surveyed and giving the
State a preference right for sixty days
after the filing of the plat to make Sc
lections. Under this provision it is
expected that the land yet to be Sc.
lected will be more valuable, but if il
should average the same, the value oil
the grant will be 81 ,545,000.
Zone OF the objections urged to the
continuation OF the work is that the
commission is going to run the State
into debt for the building before the
land is sold. The Supreme court has
held that the issue of warrants against
the State capitol building fund, to be
redeemed out of the proceeds of the
sale OF these lands, does not create
any new debt.
"The estimated cost of the work al.
ready under construction, the founda.
ton, was about $4,000, but the con-
tract was let for SAT 400, and we ex.
pect to construct the balance as much
cheaper than the estimated cost. The
legal limit of cost is $l,000,O00 and
the estimated cost is about $950,O00,
but we expect to let the contracts at
such figures as will make the total
considerably less than 100000, so
that there will be surplus of over
5000 600, even if the whole grant were
sold at the present very moderate ap-
praisement. The great bulk OF the
land selected (about seven-eighths) is
west of the morntains and covered
with timber, and no doubt can be sold
At the appraised value. The land will
probably sell for more than the ap-
praisement, as the value OF timber
land is continually growing.
"One of the objections to going on
with the work has been that the State
might not be able to sell its warrants,
but the banks at Olympia have made
arrangements with parties in the East
to take the entire issue at par, bearing
s per cent. interest. There will be nc
risk of not being able to sell the war
rants after the contract is let, for the
contractors will not sign the contract
until they are sure the warrants can
be sold. The idea is that it is to the
advantage of the State to 60 ahead
now, when material and labor are
cheap and this amount OF outside cap
ital can be disbursed in the State lust
when it is most needed. All the
brick, stone, lime, etc. about so per
cent. of the material, will be produced
in the State"

A FUNNY MANS IDEAL WIFE.
His Cumbersome Logic Not I'm
with Her Good Common Sense.


My ideal wife, writes Bill Nye in the
Philadelphia Press, is comrade who
wins me from down town, and who
agrees with me generally, and if not, it
is quite likely to be right because l am
wrong. She is one who has repeated
ly proved that her impressions are
better than the expensive opinions Of
my attorney.
She sees where danger lies while |
am cropping about, by means OF cum.
bersome logic, to arrive later at the
same conclusion.
She does not claim to be literary,
but discovers at once when an author
becomes artificial and writes from the
head rather than the heart.
She is level-headed, rather than
strong-minded She knows when to
applaud her husband without making
a goose OF him, and how to criticise
without offending him.
She delights in benefting the needy
whom she knows, rather than make
blanc mango for the people on the Up
per Congo. She does not say kind
words by long distance telephone, but
anticipates the wants OF the deserving
in her own neighborhood.
She can give pointers to profess
sional cook, and compels good service
because she is familiar with all the de-
tails OF good housekeeping.
She can transact business whenever
an emergency arises, but is glad to
turn il over to the husband when he
is at hand.
The ideal wife is also the ideal moth
er. She has no abnormal affection for
wheezy dogs.
She is a good fellow with her hus-
band, and the oonfidante and comrade
OF her sons and daughters.
She reveres the honest elements OF
religion without being a beggar or
hustler for the church. She does not
neglect her home or her children in
order to wipe out church debt which
should not have been incurred.
She is the kind of woman to en-
courage wedlock by her glorious ex-
ample. She is the kind to make con.
firmed bachelors and old maids pity
themselves.
Finally, she compels her husband to
congratulate himself, and to wonder
what he would have been without her.
She is unselfish. She is healthy in
mind and body, and she is the mother
OF good citizens. She makes the world
better for having lived in it, "and OF
such is the kingdom of Heaven"
