THE NATIONS HERO.
MONUMENT AT NEW YORK
APPROACHING COMPLETION.

A Superb structure of Granite Overlook

ton of the Memorial-NIany Delays In
Observation-Disclosures to the Tomb.
With the exception of n single huge der
rick, a sculptors scaffOld or two and Il few
other marks which indicate that workmen
are still busy on it, the Grant Memorial
monument in New York city is, as far as
the exterior structure goes, about COM
plete. The heroic statues which are to
crown the various corners and the eques-
trian group which is to finish the capstono
are yet wanting, and part of the frieze
and many of the panels have as yet
been untouched by the sculptOr's chisel
but the body of the structure from the
base to the very top of the dome, on which
bronze Victory is to drive her chariot
is completed.
1t has been nearly = years since the
ground was broken for the .undation. If
the structure is completed by the Goth of
next April, the anniversary of the great

REMOVES The STING.

Plcric Acid Solid to Instantly Relieve the
Pain OF Burns.
The suffering caused by q burn upon
the skin, whether small or great. is in
tense. rs every one knows, and medical
science has only been able, thus far, to
palliatc but not to remove the pain en-
tirely. Chance led to the discovery in
the Paris charity hospital the other day
of remedy which. it is claimed, will
cause burns 10 cease from being pain
ful as soon as 1t is applied. and which
will cause the injured flesh to heal with
marvellous rapidity.
One of the surgeons was in the habit
of using picric acid as an antiseptic AMI
his hands were therefore impregnnted
with the solution. One day, in lighting
a cigarette, portion ct the burning
match fell upon his hand. but instead
of feeling it he noticed not the slightest
pain. A short time aftcrward. while
sealing letter, some burning wax
stuck to his finger. and though 1t caut-
erized the skin, he felt no sensation.
This set him to thinking. and he arrived
at the conclusion that the acid had, to
use his own words, "acted upon the
tissues and frightened them"
He began a series of experiments in
treating burns with saturated solution
of picric acid. "All pain was instantly
suppressed" he says in his report,
"after having bathed the wound in a
solution OF this acid. Blisters did not
form, and cure was effected after four
or five days. The only Inconvenience
was that the acid, which is CONNER
cially used in the manufacture Of dyes,
colored the skin yellow, but these stains
rapidly disappeared when washed with
boric acid. Picric acid, moreover. Is
odorless, and is neither caustic. irritat'
ing nor toxic in its effects" The cheap
ness Of picric acid and the ease with
which a proper solution Of 1t may bs
prepared and kept ready have induced
many of the large manufactures about
Paris, whose workmen ARE frequently
burned at their labors, to place jars
about within easy reach. 20 that those
injured may be treated with as little de-
lay as possible.

Sorting tho Sheep.

Both in feeding and in marketing.
sheep will bring better results if di-
vided up into lots according to their
size and condition. The breeding ewes
should be separated from the rest Of
the flock in order to feed and care for
them in a way that will give the best
results. The risks of loss may be
greatly lessened and the sheep be fed
and cared for to much better advan-
tage in every way. 1t is important
with all sheep, if the best lambs, the
best growth and the beat fleece are So
cured, to keep them in good, thrifty
condition; but it is also an item to do
this as economically as possible. Di-
viding up into different Hocks, accord
ing to size and condition, will help ma
terially in this.
When all sizes are fed together, the
stronger ones will crowd the weaker
ones away and get more than their
share, while the others will get less.
The consequence is that the flock will
be very uneven in condition.
A bunch of sheep of uniform size and
condition makes a fine appearance and
will meet with reader sale at better
prices than q flock of really superior
merit, made up of all sizes and condi-
tions.-St. Louis Republic.

CORN INSECT PEST.
Summary Of Remedies Given BY the
sisslppl Experiment Station.

Summary Of Remedies Given BY the Mis-
sissiPpi Experiment Station.
The Mississippi experiment station
has published bulletin on insects in
furious to corn. The publication is in
tended to be used rs a reference dur
ing the season, and also to awaken
some farmers to see the advantage Of
fall blowing for the destruction of in
sects. From this bulletin, we extract
the following:
SUMMARY q REMEDIES.
The reader will perhaps have no.
ticed that under the head of remedies
for nearly all the foregoing insects,
fall blowing in one way or another has
been mentioned. We wish here to call
special attention to this point. In this
state and throughout many localities
OF the south, land washes considera-
bly,, and all possible means should be
taken to prevent this by hillside
bitches and the like. With some land
1t would not be advisable to pillow in
the fall, owing to danger of washing,
but in the case Of sod land or land
which has been allowed to become
grown over with grass, it will pay to
break up the sod in the fall, as it will
leave the soil in better condition for
working early in the spring. Fully
three-fourths of our Injurious in
sects spend q part of their lives
upon or within the ground, and au-
tumn is the best time for their de-
struction. By fall blowing. the Larvae
and pup@ are exposed upon the sur
face, where they are picked up by the
birds or killed during the winter by
sudden changes of the weather. Many
Larvae also will die during the winter
from lack of food, and insects which
pass the winter in the ground as pups,
arc killed by the breaking up of the
compact earth surrounding them. Re-
cent investigations regarding the food
of birds, show that these do immense
good in destroying Larvae and pup@
during the winter. Sod land contains
many insects. and the case of the Ligy-
rus beetle, already mentioned, serves
as an illustration Of the fact that these
insects will work upon other plants
aside from grass, If the land is not
plowed until spring.
when corn is laid by too early, the
land becomes covered with . thick
growth Of crab grass and weeds, form
ing suitable place for many insects
to deposit their eggs. On the station
farm, il is our practice to sow COW peas
between the rows Of corn when the
latter is laid by This method is
practiced principally on account Of the
effects Of the peas as fertilizer; but 1t
the same time, the method has many
advantages from an chronological point
Of view, IS the peas attract less insects
than would miscellaneous assortment
Of weeds and grasses.
sowing to the danger of washing
when land is plowed in the fall. much
better farm practice than fall blowing
consists In the breaking mp Of sod and
other lands during the summer, and
planting cow peas, either broadcast or
in rows to be cultivated. This method
practically accomplishes the same re-
suits rs fall blowing, SO far Is regards
the insects; and considering the great
fertilizing value of the peas, the
method can not b too strongly rec
commended"

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, Is they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Ii
only one way TO cure deafness, and that il
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it II
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless tho inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but IN inflamed condition
