What Trained Senses Can DO.

I It is remarkable how we'll perfum-
er learns to recognize scent. In
testing sweet-smelling liquid, he
vets the base of his left thumb with .
little of it. Then he rubs tho place
rapidly with his right hand. The sl-
cohol in which the essence is dissolved,
being the more volatile, is at once
evaporated, and the substance which
emits the odor remaining, he can
smell it in its purity.s
OF course, it is an easy thing to rsc-
ognize the principal odors that are in
use, but when several are mixed, as is
common, his task becomes more diff
cult. Yet skilled man cannot only
tell you what three or four perfumes
enter into the composition OF the one
he is testing, but also, roughly, tho
relative proportions of each.
1t is easy to tell the relative amount
of wool and cotton in piece of col
ored underwear when you know how.
Men who have made the subject spe.
cialty can do this by holding the
cloth in the light and looking along
it. The cotton and wool can be dis
tinguished by the difference in their
colors, which exists. although the
same dye was used for both. The un-
trained eye could hardly detect the
fact that the cloth had two shades,
but the skill that comes from long
practice makes the thing simple.
There are many men, too, who are
able to tell an English book from an
American book by the smell. The
books printed in England in nearly
every case have pleasanter odor than
those made in America. The kind of
paste, ink, paper and binding used
has probably something to do with it.
There are ways of telling who the
publishers of given book are besides
looking at the title page. Somehow
every firm gives certain characters
tic look to every volume which it is
sues, and skilled man, in nine cases
out of ten, merely by looking at the
binding and at one of the pages. can
tell from whose presses and bindery a
work comes. This, of course, applies
only to the larger firms and to books
printed comparatively recently

WATERING HORSES.

Prejudice dies hard, but the hardest
of all to die in the minds of grooms is
that it is injurious to give II horse a
drink Of cold water when he is heated
from exercise. Years ago, when used
to train horses for racing in India, l
grappled with this prejudice, and clung
to it with such tenacity that ] used
constantly to have my horses "off''
their feed after strong gallop. One
day returned to the messhouso very
hot and very tired after long run,
and suddenly thought fit to mentally
put myself in the place of race horse.
''Shall I have" l asked myself, 'a
better appetite for breakfast if I re-
frain from drinking till have cooled
off or if have drink right OFF,"
Knowing that I could not eat heartily
unless had, first of all, drink, l
took it, and thereupon felt go fit to
eat, and went so strong over course
of beefsteaks, ham and eggs, quail,
mullins, etc., that ] resolved to try the
same treatment on my horses. My
lead was attained with such success
that nowadays all the trainers in India
give their race horses about half
bucket of cold water to drink i'm
mediately after gallop, and with the
best results as regards their appetite
and health. l have not alone never
seen, but have never even heard or
read OF, any harm to a horse from
drinking cold water when ho was
heated. I have, however, seen hnn-
dreds of cases of collie occur in horses
from drinking water after being fed on
occasions when they had, previous to
eating. been deprived of water for
some time. Were all grooms to fol-
low my advice as to watering, / am
afraid that many an honest and hard
working veterinary surgeon would find
his income from collie cases seriously
diminished. London Live Stock

think he, and perhaps many other
readers of this department of the
Tribune, may find it equally satisfac-
tory to them. The plan consists OF a
succession of ranks, depending for
number and length upon the amount
of cabbage to be stored. My friend
had about an acre of good cabbage
and had about three ranks eome fifty
feet long. Tho whole stalk is pulled
up and oil are ranked up to height
of about two feet, reversing ends of
alternate stalks, which, of course, kept
the ranks level. A space is left be-
tween the ranks, which exposes every
head of cabbage to view the moment
the covering is removed at the end.
Now for the covering. Forks were
driven into the ground, say two feet
high, or just little higher than the
ranks of cabbage, and stout enough to
bear up the covering, and so driven as
to take pole along both sides of each
rank, and on these are laid cross poles,
which hold the covering up. Straw
or spoiled hay was piled along the
outside ranks and then over the poles.
and SO rounded up like stack to turn
water, the ends being closed up in like
manner, and the work was done. It
was the last of January, 1894, that I
was there. and they had been having
cold weather twenty degrees below
zero. MY friend had an order from
his merchant for load of cabbages,
and he asked me to go with him and
see how they looked. A prettier pic
ture could not have been made from
the same material than was presented.
The alleys being open, we had clear
view; the frost shone along on the
solid wall of heads, but not one was
injured. Of the thousands of heads
in those ranks, every one was ready
for market. When load was taken
out, the end was closed up again; the
top covering remained intact. New

FROM Me Herdtd, BdHlH0re, ma.
Mr. Isaac Hamburger is well-known
cigar manufacturer aud tobacco dealer at
1925 T.. Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md. He
is a hale. robust man now. but a few months
ago he thought he was about to become u
living skeleton II not dead man. He now
weighs about 200 pounds and steps about his
factory as actively as do his ''stripper" boys.
His present condition is due to the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, which he considers
the best medicine in the world for dyspep-
sin, loss OF appetite, indigestion and insom
mia. When u Herald reporter recentlycalled-
on MIR. Hamburger he came jauntily in the
store from his factory and in speaking of
the pills, said "Yes, have used DR.. Will

mend them. Some months since," he con-

and began to improve perceptibly after TAX

THE PROFITABLE FEEDING WEIGHT.

A largo per cent. of farmers Craze
and feed hogs, and the belief that
holds with many is that some future
month will bring better prices, which
can at best be cnIy q matter OF guess
ing. Would it not be better to adopt
the rule of getting to market as quick
ly as possible, taking the price at
which thev can be sold where the limit
of the most profitable feeding weight
is reached, say It's to 200 pounds /?
Thiswould cut off Improbable feeding,
OF in other words, stop the feeding
when it takes too much food to make
pound of gam, and yet in series of
years give the farmer as good average
prices as he will secure by trying to
feed to catch the high price all the
time.
1t is very low price that will not
give a good profit on pig that has
been made to do his best up to 175
pounds, while slight drop in price

Early Use OF Gunpowdcr.

War destroys, and at the same time
is the incentive for tho creation OF
new things. War and iron are in
separately linked together. The dis
covery of gunpowder caused com
plete revolution in the manufacture
of iron. The mixing of sulphur, salt
petre and coal as toy had been
known for long time. Hence, to
speak of the discovery of gunpowder
in the fourteenth century only refers
to the application of powder during
that century for the purposes of war.
To credit the Monk Bertold Schwarz
Tor Black with the discovery of gun
powder is incorrect. However, his
investigations into the nature of
powder and it's constituents for use as
an applicable force in guns produced
q radical change in the then customary
warfare, and from that standpoint
Bertold Schwarz deserves to be rec
ognized as the promoter of modern
warfare. Many hundreds of years
before Schwarz the Chinese used gun
powder. The invention of field guns
is credited to tho Chinese Emperor
Vitey, or Wu-ti, who lived 140 years
B. G. During the eleventh century
the Tartars learned the use of gun
powder from the Chinese. The Arabs
acquired the knowledge of gunpowder
fro m the Tartars, and are said to have
used cannon at the siege of Lisbon, in
1147. The Greek fire was invented in
668 A. D., and besides setting fire to
the enemies ships and cities, was used
to shoot leaden balls out of metal can
non. Marcus Graccus, who lived A.
d. 1904 1861, describes gunpowder as
mixture of two pounds of coal, one
pound of sulphur and six pounds of
saltpetre. The Iron Age.

TEXTURE OF BUTTER.

Thetexture of butter depends partly
on the animal, partly on feed, and
partly upon the temperature of the
cream when churned. Cows that give
the richest milk make the most solid
butter. In such cows what should go
to make suet or beef fat is turned into
the milk glands. The same result
comes from feeding very rich food like
cotton-seed meal. A small quantity
of this mixed with wheat bran should
be fed to cows; it will make butter
much firmer during hot weather in
summer, but it will neel in addition
that the milk and cream be kept in a
cool place.
