ioJls.

Tampa, Fla, May 10.-Pas-
sengers arriving on the Plant
steamer Mascotte say the con-
dition Of things is encouraging
to the Cuban insurgents. It is
declared that Gamagnay has
been invaded by Gomez and
that he with 5000 insurgents
besieged Guaymaro Monday.
There were about 1000 Span
iards in The city, and, SO the
passengers say, after the fight
ing became disastrous fer they
besieged a regiment of Cadiz
soldiers arrived, attacking the
Cubans IN the rear. Gomez
quickly recovered from the first
onslaught, and while small
forces kept up the conflict with
the forces in the city, his main
body faced the new enemy.
The fighting was very fierce,
but it is asserted that by the
strategy of Gomez and the valer
OF the insurgents they gained a
victory. The regiment of Cadiz,
it is said, was routed and cut
to, pieces. The city was taken
and is now in the possession of
the insurgents. The Cuban loss
in. killed and wounded is put
at zoo, while it is asserted that
the Spanish loss in killed and
wounded was 5000.
Smallpox and yellow fever is
sail to be very prevalent. Cam
pos is said to be greatly dis
pleased with the situation and

From Palm Beach, Fla, comes the
story Of woman thirty-eight years Of
age, a native OF Jamaica, who has foz
twenty years been engaged as sub.
marine diver. Her husband, Pedro
Gomez, came from Spanish family
of sponge divers. While at Funchal,
Madeira, in the Canaries, he became
acquainted with an English diver, who
gave him some ideas as to submarine
exploration under scientific auspices.
He went to Central America, and met
his love and his business partner of to.
day at Colon, on the isthmus. She
fell into his line of life easily, and for
ten years has done the better part OF
the hazardous work which he, as a
manager, contracts for. She carries
less armor than he does, and has in.
vented helmet with q system of air
pipes that she and her husband alone
hold the secret of. It is claimed that
with this helmet, securing her breath
ing connection with the upper world,
she can wander almost ut will thr ough
a sunken wreck. In q recent inter.
view with the editor of Jacksonville
newspaper she says that in the course
of 1000 descents to the oceans bed
within the ten years that she has been
in the business she has never met sea
monster or any other fish that would
not fly from the merest wave of her
arm.-New Orleans Picayune.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT BULBS.

Always procure bulbs as soon as
possible in the fall, advises Eben E.
Rexford. This because it is important
that they should be planted SO early
that complete root growth may be
made before the coming of the winter.
Ihe success of next spring depends
largely on the thoroughness with
which the work is done. Good roots
mean fine flowers.
Have your beds ready for the bulbs.
go that you can plant them immediate
ly after receiving them. A bulb dries
out rapidly when exposed to the air,
and it is important that it should go
into the ground fresh and plump.
Have the bulb bed we'll drained. If
it is not naturally SO, provide artificial
drainage.
Have the soil very fine and mellc W.
You cannot work it over too much. If
rather heavy with clay, add sand or
loan to tighten it.
Make it rich with old decomposed
manure from the COW yard. Nothing
else in the shape OF fertilizer suits a
bulb SO we'll.
On no account use fresh manure.
In buying bulbs always get the best
The best is the cheapest in the end.
Do not contine your purchase to
spring-fowering sorts. Be sure to
plant some summer and fall blooming
lilies.
Be sure to plant some bulbs, if you
have none at present. 1t those who
have never grown bulbs could fully
understand the amount of pleasure to
be derived from them am quite sure
ten would be planted where one is
planted now. By making judicious
selection IT is an easy matter to have
flowers from the melting of spring
snow through April and May to the
coming of the early summer flowers. =

HOUSEHOLD ArFArRs.



There are two methods of enliven.
ing old feathers, both Of which give
satisfactory results. An old feather
bed was renovated by the following
method and was as light and fluffy a.
one made from new feathers. For
pillows. sew up sheet crosswise in
bag form, leaving an open space at
one end the width of the pillow. Rip
an end seam of the pillow and sew the
two together. Change the feathers
from the pillow into the bag, shaking
we'll to secure all the down, then rip
apart and sew up the bag. Wash in
two strong, soapy waters and rinse
twice in clear water, draining the bag
we'll each time. Put the bag on the
grass in the sunshine, shake often and
beat lightly as the feathers dry, which
may take several days. When per.
fectly dry they will be so nice and
light one will feel like giving them
new ticks.
Another way is to make strong,
soapy water. empty the feathers from
the tick into it and wash them we'll
and wiring with the machine; repeat,
then rinse twice and wiring as dry as
possible. Spread them on a perfectly
clean floor in an unoccupied room,
stir, turn and whip them till dry. The
advantage of this way over the other
is that it can be done in winter as we'll
as in summer. but there must be a fire
in the room if done in freezing wealth

The Great simplon Tunnel.

Work will soon be commenced on
the great Simplon tunnel on the Jura-
Simplon Railway. Two tunnels are
to be constructed some tifty-seven feet
apart, the entire length being &c. 900
feet, or about twelve miles, At every
670 feet the two tunnels will be con-
nected with each other to provide bet.
ter ventilation. One OF the tunnels
will be completed first, while the
other will be used for ventilation. 1t
is thought that this arrangement will
do away with the problem OF supply
ing the workmen with air, which
caused SO much trouble in the st.
Gothard and Mont Gents tunnels. The
cost of the tunnel is estimated at abou'
$4,000. 600 francs or $4,000, ,000. =

A Novel Headache Cure.

A Boston apostle of physical culture
says that an excellent and never-fail. /.
ing cure for nervous headache is the
simple act of walking backward. Ten
minutes are as long as is usually neces-
sary to promenade. It sometimes,
however, requires more than ten min
utes to walk at all if one is very ''ner-
vous." But it is not understood that
it is necessary to walk chalk line.
And kind of walking will do, provided
it is backward. 1t is we'll to get in a
long, narrow room, where the windows
are high, and walk very slowly, plac-
ing the ball of the foot on the floor
and then the heel. Besides curing
headache, this exercise promotes a
graceful carriage. A half-hour's walk
backward every day will do wonders
towards producing a graceful gait.
This is something like faith cure, which
will not be attempted by the advanced
woman, who will take no steps back.

Tho drop in the production Of pc.
troleum in this country has had the ef.
fect OF stimulating an almost extinct
industry in Scotland, the distillstion
Of oil from shale. Fifty years ago it
was Of great importance and was even
worked under royalties in the United
States, where there were between Atty
and sixty coal and shale distilleries.
While the producers were at tho height
of their prosperity, the natural oil
fields we're opened and the old busi-
ness went to pieces. so that only two
Scotch companies were left in the
field. Like most manufacturing en-.
terprises in Scotland, it was the waste
products which furnished the profits
of the industry. The mineral distilled
is . bituminous shale or hard clay,
and the product of the distillition, of
which 81, 900, 900 gallons were made
last year, bears little resemblance to
coal oil. The waste products which
have contributed to the continued ex-
istence of the industry are paraffine
wax and sulphate of ammonia. The
value of the former has been affected
seriously by the output of the distiller.
les in this country, but the ammonia
is produced only from shale, and the
fluctuations in its price have decided
very largely the profits of the business.
The crude shsle oil has to be distilled
like petroleum and the lamp oil refined
from it has higher flash point and
density than that made from pc
troleum. As the price of oil has fallen,
the shale distilleries have improved
the retorts and stills to an extent
which has resulted in the reduction OF
the cost of the finished oil to little
over four cents a gallon, about one
sixth of the cost thirty years ago. 1t
is impossible not to admire the dog
ged determination and enterprise
which, year after year, has caused the
accounts of the Scotch companies still
working to show a saving in working
expenses that has practically neutral
lied the loss from falling prices. =

facts because of carelessness and negl
lect, says Allen Morse. To do this in
the easiest and cheapest way. If the
stock are not provided with warm,
comfortable stables. provide them at
once. 1t can be done as cheaply now
as at any season of the year. Nail
boards over cracks and cell the inside
with matched boards. I stuffed mine
between the walls and ceiling with
swamp hay with good results. An in
side and outside door should be pro-
vided, and the former should be shut
tight. The cost of such an outlay on
a stable fifty feet long will be about
SIS; it will save that value in fodder
the first winter. If water freezes in
the stable provide heater at q cost of
50 to $10i you will willingly give the
wood and labor to see the COWS drink.
If both warm barn and warm water
cannot be provided, warm the stables,
even though the stock has to drink ice
water. 1t is far more comfortable,
too, milking without an overcoat and
grasping icicles.
The dairyman with silo need not
be told what to feed his stock. Those
without one should not compel the
stock to eat straw, as it is poor econ-
omy. Good clover hay, or at least
that which is part clover, and small
ration of grain will keep stock in good
condition. Heavy grain feeding will
not pay in butter making notwith-
standing good authorities say it will,
but the stock will be in better condi-
tion. the manure richer, and it will be
a pleasure to see stock sleek and fat.
Keep the animals we'll bedded. This
will pay in the added comfort both to
yourself and stock, and also in the
valne of the manure, and that is by
far the best use farmer can make of
his straw. If owning more than can
be used in such way, sell it and put
the value of it in meal. Tt ID an un.
disputed fact that it pays in dollars
and cents to make stock comfortable
and contented. American Agricultur.

TALKS ABOUT PLANTS.

The time to prepare wild garden
in shady nook of the yard is in the
fall. Wild flowers carefully trans
planted now will start in the spring,
and the collection can be added to
from year to year.
One of the peculiarities of the floral
world Is the evening primrose, which
opens about 6 o'clock, p. M, with an
explosion, not very loud nor formida-
BILE. but still quite perceptible to any
one who is watching the bud. 1t re-
mains open all night.
Objectionable trees are killed in the
best way by stripping the bark from
them for few feet from the ground
just when the foliage is fully expanded
in the spring. Leave the tree stand,
rs it will then continue to draw on
the storehouse of the roots for sup
plies, without adding anything to it.
When fall comes the roots are ex-
hausted, and If the tree be cut down
then no sprouts are likely to succeed
it.
Wild hollies please SO much by their
bright berries in winter that many are
tempted to plant them on this account.
But it must not be forgotten that these
shrubs are not all berry bearing.
Some have male flowers only, and
these have no berries. The only safe
plan is to see berries on bush before
planting it. Hollies need close prun-
ing to make them live when trans.
planted.
M. Zacharewiez, professor of agri-
culture at Vaucluse, has found by ex-
pertinent with different colored glasses
that fruit is the finest and earliest
when grown under clear glass. Orange
glass produces On increase of vegeta.
tion, but Mt the cost Of the amount of
fruit, of the size and of its forward
ness. Violet glass causes the number
OF fruit to increase, at the expense of
the quality. Red, blue and green are
hurtful to all kinds of vegetation.

F. Bush, of Independence, Mo-, has
reprinted from the State horticultural
report of Missouri his list of the trees,
shrubs and vines Of that State. Two
