A French scientist has been making
experiments with the growth of plants
under different conditions of colored
light. Under the method of expert
ment the endeavor was made to keep
the plants under similar conditions of
temperature, moisture, soil, etc. so
that it would be reasonable to infer
that any abnormal differences in
growth would be due to the difference
in light conditions. It is reported, as a
result of this experiment, that the red
light produced even more noteworthy
results than white light in the way Of
forcing growth. While the plants
were strong and vigorous under the in
1uence of white light, those under the
ted panes of glass grew to a greater
height and burst into bloom earlier.
ine plants under the frame of blue
slass showed little if any growth, but
he leaves grew decidedly darller.-De-

MANY THINGS.
we Are Prone to Concentrate on
One Idea.
Products Of Nature That Are Manifold
blessings to Man.

Whenever you see a glass of bright
clear, sparkling water, you at once
think what delightful drinking water
that is. You never think of it as be-
ing especially useful for boiling pota-
toes or for bathing the face. You
only think Of its power to quench the
thirst. And yet this is only one of its
many desirable properties.
When you see bright, hot fire in
winter, you think at once how easily
you could keep warm by remaining
near it. The thought does not occur
to you that a fire has hundred other
uses.
Whenever cod-liver oil is mentioned,
many people think at once of con-
sumption, as if this was the only dis
ease to which this valuable remedy
was adapted. Perhaps this is not
strange when we consider the fact that
cod-liver oil stands out as the most
prominent remedy in this terrible af-
lection. In fact. as water quenches
the thirst, and as fire gives warmth. so
does cod-liver oil bring health and
prosperity to those just beginning to
fade from serious lung trouble.
OF late years, however, it has been
known that consumption is caused by
germ. 1t is also known that cod
liver oil does not kill this germ. And
there is also the fact that this same
oil viii cure consumption in its early
stages. If it does not kill the germ of
the disease, how does it affect a cure
This is easily explained. Cod-liver
oil has wonderful power to build up
and invigorate the whole body When
the body is in this prosperous condi-
ton, it can take care of the germs of
consumption that is, it destroys the
germs, and thus removes the cause of
the disease. For this reason cod-liver
oil is called a powerful tonic and re-
constructive while it is also known
to be a most valuable food.
From this we can see the value of
such a remedy in a number of ailments.
There are many persons who begin
the work of each day in a thoroughly
exhausted condition. They have tried
quantities of tonics and iron prepara-
tions of all kinds, but without relief.
There is no appetite; bowels are con-
circulation is poor the lips
are pale; the ears are colorless; and
the whole body is in debilitated and
most uncomfortable state. SCOTS
Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo-
phosphites changes all this. Soon the
blood becomes richer; abe heart beats
stronger; color returns to the face;
digestion is improved; and good
health is once more at hand.
Scott's Emulsion contains more pure
Cod-liver Oil than any other
in the world, that win stand
the test of time as being a perfect in
emulsion. Ask your doctor.

The common house fly is said to b.
provided with 10000 eyes; that is to say
his two compound eyes have each 500
facets. By this singular arrangement
he is enabled to see in every direction
and to elude with great skill and sue

his daily existence.
Peter Dorsey. a negro. who said A'
was 40 years old, died at Tallahassee q
few days ago. He looked as if he mighi
he as old as he said, brit most likely hg

figured that he was, at any rate, far
past the century mark.
--Maine's labor commissioner has
been gathering statistics on the cost O.

Curly hair indicates exuberent vi
tality, the curl being caused by the heni
or electricity which pervades the sys
tenn. Straight hair mostly denotes
more evenness Of character. Coarse
hair mostly accompanies large muscles
and would thus suggest physical
strength, while fine hair denotes re
ifinement, constituencies and effeminate
tastes and feelings. Very sensitive peo
pie have excessively fine hair, and their
ieyelashes always correspond. =
Perhaps the oldest pet man ever
had is a shark, seven feet long and
weighing probably 25O pounds, which
is owned, in a sense, by G. w. Fife, OF
Tacoma, Wash. The shark was har-
pooned in the bay off Tacoma by Mr.
Fife and towed to his boat house. Tt
was not badly injured, so Mr.. Fife
passed a chain cable round its tail and
tied it up to the pier. It was still alive
up to last accounts, was feeding hearth
lly, and was apparently. becoming az.
customed, if not reconciled, to cap
ltivity.
Some idea of the extent Of the
coyote nuisance in the west may be got
from the experience of one sheepman
Of Fossil, Ore. Since last fall, when
the sheep were brought down from the
mountains, the coyotes have killed
about 100 of them. One night recently
"a herder left about 30 sheep out over
night. and when he went to hunt for
them in the morning he found % dead,
their throats torn by the coyotes, and
coyotes were chasing the remaining
seven. In Crook county this sheepman
has lost $500 in three months by the
coyote raids on his focks.

USES OF BoRAx.


Borax has become almost as indis-
pensable an article in every household
as salt and pepper. Nothing will so sue
cessfully soften hard water as borax.
Use it in the proportion of large hand
full to ten gallons of water. The texture
of the finest linen and cotton will not
be injured by it's use. Stains upon
tablecloths and napkins can be readily
washed out if boraS is put in the water.
A little boraE water boiled in the coffee
pot twice a week for 10 minutes sweet
ems and purifies it. To cleanse window
glass simply use warm water and borax,
no soap. Wipe dry and polish with
crumpled newspapers.
For the shampoo use one teaspoOnful
to two quarts Of warm water. 1t acts
directly on the scalp, keeping it in a
healthy condition. AS dentrifce and
mouth wash borax is unexcelled. It
cleanses the mouth, hardens the gums
and relieves cankers. On using it for
the teeth make a powder of one ounce
each of powdered borax and pulverized
CASTLE soap and two ounces of precipi-
tated chalk Bags made of cheese cloth,
about eight inches square, filed with
oatmeal, some powdered borax. and a
little powdered orris root and used in
the bath are delightfully."- refreshing.
A box of powdered borax is indispensa-
bic at the toilet table and as a disin-
feetant, win prove valuable aid in
procuring cleanliness at the kitchen
sink. And if it were more frequently
used a great amount of waste might be
prevented in the larder.-Chicago Inter

often true.

The month of February in a leap year
has some peculiarities of which not
many people are aware. This year, for
example, February has five Saturdays.
This has occurred just once in every
% years for the last 1874 years. Febru-
airy will have five Saturdays again in
1908, y years from now, because at the
turn of the century there comes a break
in the IS year period, which is reduced
to - years. Twenty-eight years later,
in 1896, we will again have five Satur-
days in the month of February. This
same rule holds good for every day in
the week, each recurring five times in
the leap year month of February every
e years, with the exception of Monday
and Wednesday. During the last 200
years these two days have come five
times in February at one interval OF
II yenrs, while the rest of the DAYS
have been 40 years apart once during
the same period of 200 years. Chicago
