Messing the great cataract has been a

Each turbine wheel is inclosed in
steel casing and is 90 feet from the bot

charges the water into the river below
the falls. In the casing also are two
wheels, an upper and a lower, which
are connected with a great vertical

feet long. This shaft weighs so, 900
pounds and extends upward 100 feet to

also weigh so, 900 pounds. They are at

gigantic dynamo warm up to their work
the outside of this ring flies around at

conveyed from the canal above by

JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE
IN ARIZONA.

During the last six months the
Kicker has purchased q new paper.
cutter, two fonts OF job type, a can OF
blue ink and $40 worth OF pink paper
for poster work, and not a word OF
Boosting has appeared in these col
umns. A little thing happened the
other day, however, which VIC want
to brag about, and which VIC think
equals anything in the way Of New
York OF Chicago enterprise. At two
o'clock in the afternoon Colonel Joe
Smith sent us word by messenger that
we were "a slOucli editor and must stop
his paper. Our mule was out at pas
ture. a mile away, and our guns need
cd cleaning. 1t was twelve miles as
the crow flies to the Coloncl's ranch
and yet at half past three o'clock we
were there. The fusilade between us
lasted ten minutes. 1t took five min.
utcs more t" get the Colonel to sub
scribe for three extra copies to send
East and four or five TO water our
mule and tighten the saddle girths.
At exactly five O'Clock we were down
at the Kicker Office and booking the
new subscriptions. Thus, In three
hours VIC cleaned two guns, ran a mile
after our mule, rode twenty-five miles
and had a light lasting ten minutes.
We don't admit that this Is the best
we can do, but until some other crit.
ter beats 1t VIC shall rest easy.

VENEZUELAN WOMAN.


Ilarpcr's Bazaar.
In Caracas French fashions pre-.
dominate, and the ladies appear on
on the street in the latest Partisan
mode, from the plunes and ribbons
upon their hats To the higli-hceled
shoes on their dainty little feet. The
women Of Venezuela may be divided
into two clasSes-those who are served
aud those who serve The lives OF the
former are simple, and they do not
bother their heads about woman's
rights nor enter into political strife.
One may justly ask. then, what do
these ladies do? The answer is-they
live. So does the house plant Of the fix
tree in the courtyard. What more
can be required Of them? The cabal-
lcro expects work from neither wife
nor daughter. His house is filled with
servants, and his wife is treated as
some beautiful thing-we might say
us Il clock or some handsome piece OF
furniture. The house is her domain,
where she may rule us she pleases, and
paIaita has little to say. The CARA
quenan beauties litter behind the
curtains Of the ir0n-barred, balconied
window rs the unhappy swain is conf
PEELED to promenade on the sidewalk
and watch for an opportunity to get Il
word or Il look from his object OF ado
ration. Mamaita occupies herself
with embroidery or directs her ser
wants, and when her daughters desire
to go for a walk she must accompany
them, for they are not allowed to 20
on the street alone.
Life among the l0wly is different.
The woman are free to come and go
as they please. The costume consists
Of an embroidered chcmisc, cut cx-
trcmcly low in the neck, and a
1lounced skirt OF calico. A girl OF this
adOrns her neck with a string OF beads
and allows her hair to hang down her
back, generally in two braids. She
carries herself with dignity; and her
long scarf-likc shawl, usually of gay
cOlorS, which she throws gracefully
over her head or allow to fall upon her
shoulders, gives her IA picturcsqe effect.

PALACES ABOUT EGGS.

Occasionally there goes the rounds
Of the press a note something like the
following, says the Baltimore Sun:
ozark shellcd eggs are much richer In
flavor than the white shelled eggs"
Were the author Of such an item
traced out he would be found to be a
man who has Il breed that is laying
brown shclled eggs.

cnce in the taste of Il white or brown
shclled egg were they both from the
samc flock and the two hens that laid
the eggs fed on the same food.
Food has a wonderful influence.
however, on the quality Of the eggs.
Fowls that are confined in yards
where there Is no grass or clover will
often eat enough weeds to greatly
affect the flavor OF their eggs. Eggs
arc often condemned as not being
fresh, when in fact, the food OF the
hen has been Of such a kind that the
delicate characteristic flavor OF egg,
such as proper food produces, is near
ly lacking.
Corn has the effect, when fed liberal
~, of causing the hens to produce eggs
with rich looking, dark yellow yolks.
while wheat fed instead OF corn will
yield eggs OF u pale yellow. Tho pub
lie imlginc the dark yellow yolk eggs
are the richest. They are not. The
pale yolkcd egg, nude so from Il good,
sound, wheat diet, is the richest.
Green food in the spring produces the
dark yellow yolk.
While food has considerable infu.
ence on the yolk OF the eggs, it has
little or none whatever on the color
OF the shell. There are certain breeds
that never lay other than white
shellcd eggs, and others that also in
variably lay brown shellcd eggs.

TIE EFFECT OF SALT ON
MILK.

Farm and Home.
Salt given tn cows has some effect
on the quality OF the milk. This is
necessarily so as the salt aids very
much in the digestion OF the food, and
1t Is the quantity OF the food digcstcd
that regulates the quantity and quail.
ity of the milk. Salt is indispensable
to the health of any animal that feeds
on vegetable matter, and the milk is
affected greatly by the health or OPP
pOsite condition OF Il cow. When salt is
given to excess. it is injurious and
causes an intense thirst, but this does
not necessarily make the milk more
watery than usual. If the COW drinks
more water than is customary, there
Is no reason TO believe that this excess
OF water dilutcs the milk. The milk
Is not made in any such way as would
make this possible. 1t is prod uccd by
the breaking down Of the glandular
tissue OF the udder. and this never con-
tains more than IA normal quantity of
water. The kidneys are charged with
the removal OF any excess Of water
from the blood, and this drain, or out.

function, but the COW becomes discas.
cd at once. But this is a question that
the careful farmer will never have tn
consider, because he will always take
care that such a supposed mistake will
nevc happen. 1t is only the careless
farmer who runs risks OF giving his
cows, OF permitting them to get, to
much salt.
