Cut This Out.

The Scientific American gives this
recipe, which the whole world ought
to know:
AT the first indication OF diphtheria
in the throat of child make the room
close, then take tin cup and pour
into it quantity of tar and turpentine,
equal parts, Then hold the cup over
a fire, so as to fill the room with fumes.
The little patient on inhaling the
fumes will cough up and spit out all
the membraneous matter, and the
diphtheria viii pass out. The fumes
of the tar and turpentine loosen the
matter in the throat and thus afford
the relief that has baffled the skill Of
physicians.

FOR STREET GAMINS.
A COMFORTABLE COUNTRY HOME
AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

where tho Street Arabs Of Chicago Are
Converted Into Intelligent Agricnltur-
lists and Artisans-Not a Penal Institu-
ton, but a school For Honest Boys.
A country home for street gamins
where they may be turned into intelh-
gent and industrious young men is an
institution Of which the state of Illinois
has reason to be proud. 1t is known as
the Illinois School of Agriculture and
Manual Training, 1t is located at Glen
wood. Cook county, and during the nine
years of its establishment it has turned
out over 1000 boys who have been in
fluenced to leave paths of idleness and
vice, taught TO earn an honest living
and started ON the broad, straight high
way that leads to good citizenship
A colony in which dwell $50 boys,
unrestrained by high walls or fear Of
punishment, is of course interesting In
itself. That is the number of youngsters
at the Glenwood school On a big farm
of 500 acres live these young Americans
who have been rescued from the street
drift Of the big cities Of the state. OF
course the most of them come from Chi
cago The school is not penal institu-
tion and no embryo criminals are sent
there. The boys are not prisoners No
high fences, no strong bolts or barred
cells are needed to keep them within

Helpless
RheunlatiCS!

Rheumatism Is no respecter of per-
sons-the healthy and vigorous are
as liable to its attacks as the weak.
The symptoms of the disease are
almost unnoticed at first, so insidi-
ous1y do they steal over the body;
gradually the little pains and stiffness
Increase, until they develop greater
inconvenience day by day.
The knees, ankles, and other joints
of the body ache constantly, swell
ing to several times their natural
size; the patient finds himself unable
to get around; is soon incapacitated
for business, and later is confined to
his bed, utterly helpless.
1t is great mistake to expect relief
from such condition BY the applica-
ton of iiniments and other external
remedies. The medical profession adj

Oueerest Railroad Ever Built.

Many railroad engineers have firm
faith in the future of the single track
elevated style of construction Of which
several experimental specimens have
been built both in this country and
Europe.
This class of railroads is called peg
leg by some people, bicycle" by
others. At Ridgeway, Ont, a new in
vention has been constructed, on the
line of aerial railways, that has at
tracted a great deal of attention from
railroad builders. The road connects
the town of Ridgeway with pleasure
resort known as Crystal Beach, and Is
two miles long. 1t consists of track
made Of stringers Of wood, which are
supported on wooden posts placed
about five feet apart, and on these at
intervals of every two and half feet
are bolted iron ties, which in turn sup
port the centre "T'' rail and the two
guide rails, These guide rails are eigh-
teen inches apart. and the "T'' rail on
which the cars run Is between three
and four inches higher than these
The car runs on two fiat wheels along
the "T'' rail, and is held upright by
four bevelled wheels which move along
the guide rails. While the car is in
motion 1t retains its upright position,
In obedience to the same laws of mo-
tion that cause q bicycle to retain its
equilibrium, hence the popular name
of bicycle railroad"
1t is a remarkable fact that when the
train Is in motion the guide wheels
hardly touch the rails, the car running
very easily and steadily upon two fiat
wheels. The motive power is supplied
by storage electric batteries, and the
cars are equipped with electric lights,
brakes and bells. Each car weighs
1900 pounds and will seat eighteen pas
sengers.

Poisoning From Insecticides.

The danger Of poisoning to stock feed
ing In sprayed orchards is inf1nitesimaD
We never heard of the slightest injury
to any class of stock by eating the
grass or windfalls from orchards spray
ed with paris green or other poisons for
insects or fungi. II instead of being
pastured, the grass is allowed to grow
and made into hay, 1t will be perfectly
safe to feed It, Sheep, hens or hogs eat
dng the little apples that first fall off
will not be injured. If the worms are
so bad as to require repeated sprayings
within a day or two it might be well
TO wait until the first shower before
turning in stock, but this Is hardly
necessary. Several experiment stations
have tested this matter by feeding
stock and have also analyzed the grass.

The Deadly London Fog.

The London fogs always increase the
death-rate in that city. One of the
worst on record, both for density and

from asthma were most affected by the

to 331 pr cent, and for whooping cough
to 231 per cent. above the average.
Again, in 1882, in the week ending Feb.
l3, the death-rate owing to the den SO
fog rose from 27.1 in the previous week

Formerly q Creator Pest in England Than

J Formerly the common soold' the
women who made her neighbors' lives
intolerable with her raging temper, hei
bitter tongue, her slanderous and cal
umnies-was found everywhere. Laws
were passed recognizing her as one
kind of criminal. There were two
forms Of punishment by which she was
repressed or deferred, or cowed into
sentleness, viz, the ducking-stool anc
the Drank. The cucking-stool assumed
various shapes, but 1t generally con-
sisted of chair on one end OF beam
which rested on a bar so as to make q
see-saw. Sometimes the chair was
hung from the beam by a chain. The
culprit being tied on the chair, the
other end Of the beam went up and the
chair went down into the water, sous.
ing the woman completely. They did
this three times, after which they lei
her go.
Such stools belonged to nearly every
parish; like the stocks and the piflory
they formed part Of the furniture OF
Justice. For instance, about London
There was one on Bankside with which
they ducked the wives of the players
There was one at Ratcliffe; one NJ
Kingston on Thames, and there was
one which stood till the beginning OF
this century beside the great pond OF
reservoir OF the Gren Park.
Apparently the chair and the cold
bath did not completely destroy the
female tendency to sco1d, for It was
found necessary to invent another pun.

This was the Drank" or "scold's
bridle," which consisted of small
cage formed by iron hoops to fit the
head, with piece OF iron which press
ed the tongue and formed the gag
Thus adorned, the scold was either led
or carried about the town for all the
world to see. Sometimes she was plac-
ed on high scaffol1. The Drank was
used in some places down to the begin
ming OF the century. Its disuse, itsdis-
appearance, the universal Oblivion Of
ahe punishment, make one incline to
the belief that the scold has also disap-
peared. However, such Is not the case.
The disease or infirmity Of scolding
still exists, but in much milder form.
The mildness Of the modern form Is
mainly due to the improved conditions
of life.
Two hundred years ago the village
household was insufflciently fed, the
quality as well rs the quantity OF the
food was bad, work was hard, men
were rough, husbands beat their wives

thinly clad; in hot weather their
clothes were too thick. If there was

and all night; everything combined to
exasperate woman. What wonder
if, from time to time, she lost control
of herself and became coplously elo-
quent over her wrongs? Things have
greatly improved. The husband no
longer-or very seldom-beats his wife;
the food has become cheap; wages have
gone up; luxuries, formerly unattain-
able, have become necessarios; the
scold is dying out Of the land, because
there is so little left to scold about

adapta bility to soil and climatic condf-
tions has yet to be ascertained. Teo-
sinte Is evidently growing in favor In
the Middle and Northern States. While
this plant requires tropical climate In
which to mature seed. it has wide
range as a fodder crop. and is especial
ly welcome for the large amount OF
green food which 1t supplies late In
summer, when pasturage is poor and
green forage Is scarce. Our confidence
in teosinte as a safe crop for the CEN
tral and Northern States is based upon
many favorable reports and our own
experience with the plant. At our ex-
perimental farm in Bucks County, Pa,
we have been growing teosinte Tor
more than half a dozen years without
ever having 1t fail, either in wet or dry
seasons. 1t makes a rapid, luxuriant
growth, and withstands drouth much
better than Indian corn. Both leaves
and stalks are eagerly eaten by stock,
either in the green state or when cured
into fodder Judging from the numer-
Gus inquiries in regard to the plant,
and the more than usual demand for
the seed, teosinte will be more largely
planted this season than In any year

sILAeD FOR SUMMER FEEDING.

II Has Been Demonstrated to be as Good
for Summer as for winter Feeding.
The Southern White or ensilage corn
Is preferred by many on account Of its
enormous growth. 1t should be planted
as early In spring as the danger of frost
Is past. in order to able il 20 mature
more perfectly. It @. n be planted siml.
lar to any other field corn, and should
have the same cultivation. 1t has been
demonstrated that silage Is often as
good for summer feeding as for winter.
l mean to experiment this summer on
making ensilage from rye for summer
use. The rye will be cut about May 10
or 20, and the ground planted to corn
for winter silage. Last year l cut
field Of clover early for hay and imme-
dlately prepared and planted the field
to corn, After the corn was removed in
the fan, the grourd was cultivated
(never plowed) and sown to the rye.
which will be sliced in May. This might
be called intensive farming with ven
geance. but farmers must practice
something like It II they wish to sue
ceed at present low prices.
1t Is necessary to plant an early va
riety of corn II planted late. 1 have
planted as late as July 8, In Northern
Ohio, with good success Last year Il
was planted the last week in June. AL
though caught by an unusually early
frost. the corn made very good ensilage.
II had been planted in drlls about
twice as thick as ordinary field corn.
1t developed a great many ears. some
of which were well matured. One ad-
vantage in late planting is the ease
with which 1t Is kept clean. 1t does
not require more than half the labor
than when planted six or eight weeks
earlier. After the corn Is removed the
ground requires but little preparation
before seeding to rye. One thorough
working with sprins tooth harrow or
cultlvator, followed by a smoothing har-
row. is all that is required. l have
sown rye as late as October Is. with
good results. 1t was as rank as could
be desired. some bel lodged. But In
order to bear such 'ntinued cropping
the land must be rl'l or highly man
ured. 1t certainly will not pay to waste
time and labor on poor soil.-O. ]. Vine,

Adirondack.

The word Adirondack" comes to us
from the language of the Mohawks.
With them it was Ha-de-ron- -dack, and
meant wood-eaters. This term was
applied in derision to few members
OF a once powerful branch of the AL
gonquins, who were defeated by the
Iroquois and forced to seek refuge In
the fastness of the mountains. They
were in great distress, and 1t Is said
they sent messengers to their victors
asking them to make no further war
upon them, as they were reduced to the
necessity of eating roots and the bark
of trees. A few of them finally escaped
to the north and others were captured
and held in slavery by the Mohawks.-
