The Wonderful Vinegar Eels.

Ii you will take a glass of pure o. home
made vinegar and hold it up TO the Win
dow, you can see with your naked eye thao
tho liquid IS Il wriggling mass of life.
The cause of the commotion you see in tho
vinegar is myriads of specimens of minute
cells, hundreds of thousands of them not
being greater in weight than a grain of
wheat, yet each is a living animal, with
organs as perfect as those OF an anaconda
Or a sea serpent.
A single drop of the vinegar may be in
habited by thousands of the tiny crea-
lures, male and female, children and grand
parents, yet all are of single species,
which has IA certain mode of reproduction
The male of this interesting little snake
like creature never exceeds 4 millimeters
in length The female is somewhat larger,
the average of that sex being about mil
limeters in length. They are always pres
ent in homemade vinegar, but are never
found in the variety known as acetic acid
vinegar. They flourish best in a tempcra-
turo between so and so degrees and are
killed when the temperature runs above
1O7 or below the freezing point.-St. Louis

To tho already multitudinous methods
of utilizing leo in therapeutical practice
DIR. Barthold Brae, German physician,
is now credited with its successful use
for inducing respiration by placing the
article in contact with the lips the method
consisting in rubbing slowly with Il piece
OF ice the mucous membrane of tho lips
and the mouth, the rhythm of tho motion
corresponding rs much as possible to that
of normal respiration. In the cases OBJ
served by DR.. Brae the result was return
of respiration, very strong at first, but
with the continued application of tho ice
becoming very regular, quiet and deep.
The ice used in this way is said, moreover,
to have general sedative effect, and this
quicting action has also been employed
with success in the treatment of cerebral
troubles. A Vienna physician is said to
have obtained equally favorable results
with this treatment in cases of asphyxia.

Contests In the Olympian Games.

The different combats consisted Of leap
ing the foot race, wrestling, throwing the
discus Qike the modern putting tho
shot") boxing, the pancratium, the pen
thathlum, chariot racing, horse racing and
the contests of the heralds and trumpeters.
Most of these were more or less varied.
The foot races were for different distances,
and one of them, that of the hoplitos, or
heavy armed soldiers, was run in full bat
tie armor. In boxing the fists of the con
testants were wrapped in the terrible
cestus, a glove of hide loaded with metal,
and its blown often fatal. The pan
cratium united wrestling and boxing, but
without the use of the cestus. The pen
tathon was a group of five contests
leaping, the foot race, throwing the QUOT,
Or discus, throwing the spear and wres-
Ting. The prize winner must excel In all.
Chariot racing was with two and four
horses, or even with mules, and the run
ming horse races correspondent very closely
with those Of modern times. Boys of from
ii TO Is also had contests, in all respects
like those of adults, except that the boys
did not use the cestus. In some cases
competitors still within the boyish limit
were permitted to do battle with their
elders, and these youngsters occasionally
secured the crown, even in the severer con
tests of skill and strength Olym-

Catching Half Barrels.

Standing on the loading platform of a
wholesale establishment in a down town
street was man who was catching empty
half barrels that were tossed to him by the
driver of a barrel truck that stood in the
street in front. AS lie caught them he
passed them on to two men who stood i'll
line, one back of tho other within, who
tossed them up ON heap of half barrels in
a space along one side of the store. He
caught barrel after barrel right along
steadily, without tumble, catching every
one fairly by tho chimes. The barrels
were headed up at both ends. They We're
not so heavy as some, but one half barrel
is as bulky as another,.hnd whether they
are heavy or light catching them is not the
easiest thing in the wQ1d to do, and SO
this was something w3rth moment s

Farm Notes,

In reply to IL question whether TIL,
solid and liquid manure should be com
hincd when applied a writer in the
Mirror and Farmer says: The writer
conducted experiments both in Missouri
and in Utah that covered the subject
of the above inquiry. In each case the
solid and liquid manure combined gave
decidedly better results than when the
solid manure was used alone. This de-
feet OF solid manure was probably due
to the fact that the potash and nitro

conclusion is from the Ice Trade Jour
nal, from which the piece was taken:
The confectioners and the butchers
have begun organized opposition to the
combination of ice dealers which has
raised the price of ice. They are at
tempting to find a supply from com
panies outside the combination. Il
they succeed. the trust will fail to keel.

for ice, but it may encourage a few
people who think the price was never
before so high as it is today
The Eagle editor is correct says
