The Use Of Hot Wafer.

Frequently where acute nasal
catarrh is threatened, a hot foot-bath
with hot compress of the forehead,
and one at the nap of the neck, will
avert the disagreeabIe condition which
seems inevitable. A stubborn cough
can be conquered often by persistent
application of hot water to the throat
and bronchial regions. Surely it is
better 80 to treat the suffering body
than to medicate it from one disease
into another. Care is, ofcourse, to be
taken that the clothing or bedding
may not become so wet as to bring
about more dangerous. or atl least,
more disagreeable conditions. Luke
warm water is worse than useless ;
it must be hot as hot as the skin will
bear.

The Bicentenary of the Wise Cover
nOrshiP of John Archdale. of


nOrship Of John ArchdaIe. of
Carolina.
1t is an interesting circumstance in
connection with the current movement
for the PRONUNCIATION Of plans for inter-
national arbitration from Independence
Hall that the present year marks the
bicentenary of John Archdale, the
pacificator of Carolina, who has been
claimed by local historian to have
been in executive ability even the su-
perior of William Penn. 1t is CO.
incidence also that both Of these men
were on the Society of Friends and
both hailed from Buckinghamshire,
England.
When Archdale, who was one Of the
proprietaries of South Carolina, was
deputed to administer its affairs as
Governor in 1896, the conflicting
interests between the proprietaries and
the colonists were exceedingly strain
ed and apparently irreconcilable. The
buccaneers who deprecated upon the
Spanish commerce and towns of the
Caribbean Sea spent their gains freely
in the colony, and were hence not
interfered with. A lively raffic in
Indian captives was carried on,
stimulating wars in the interior; and,
the captives being traded for the rum
of Barbados, something very much OF
the nature of returning plague''
became the colonists' experience. The
Huguenots who had sought refuge
in Carolina were roughly treated by
the cavaliers, who hotly opposed their
enfranchisement.
Possessed of great prudence and saga
city, united with admirable patience
and command of temper, with marvel
lous celerity Archda:e restrained the
lawless spirit of turbulence, suppressed
abuses and stilled the tumult of con-
tending factions. He appointed a
Council satisfactory to the settlers, de-
string them to choose their own repre-
sentatives to the Assembly. That the
Huguenots might be better treated, ne

Now" explains the swine breeder, ''if
it fit the entire length. and would give
the animal full score on back, and if the
lower line of the side were straight
would also score full. If the ham was
deep, thick and even curve down on to
the hook and square on the back (part or
nearly so) would score full and would take
all parts that were even, round and square
where required and give full score. Now
take the No. cut It is almost straight
on the back, but not entirely so. Score
seven points or cut one point; lower line
not quite so important a part of the hog,
cut one point, although is more off from
straight line than line of back. The ham
in No. I would call good, while in No. 2
the ham is off at least three points, the
dotted lines showing where it is off
the worst. The line of back shows also q
bad measurement. The distance from
back line of No. 2 is four times as much
as on No. 1. l would want the heart
measurement as much or more than the
flank measurement. The shoulder /
would want more like No. 1. The dotted
line on No. shows deficiency as well as
showing by lines that back and lower line
are deficient several points"

INsoMIA.-The utility of heat as a
remedy for sleeplessness can scarcely
be over-estimated particularly in the
form of hot water. Insomnia is
frequently overcome by the persistent
use of hot foot baths and simple hot
water as drink at bedtime. Sleep.
lessness is commonly caused by
overfulness of the bloodvessels of the
head-the bathing of the feet draws
the blood from the. head-the hot
drink distributes, the gases of the
stomach, and gives one sense OF
general comfort.

Corn tho Great American Crop.

corn Gn0 Or0aC American CtOps
Corn, or maize, is the great American
tillage crop. There is no other of half it's
area. Wheat has nearly half and cotton
a quarter nf it's breadth. It is sufficient
to cover Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with q
slice of Iowa in addition. It's area last
year, though reduced by drought, was 81
per cent. Of that of all cereals together,
and its product was 55 per cent. 1t is
now grown in every state and territory in
the Union, though sparingly in those Of
high elevations, in the Rocky Mountain
region. The supply as population in
creases is enlarged rather than dimin-
ished. It was 25.5 bushels per head in
1850, 1856 in 1850, 29.7 in 1870 and 35 in
1880.
The crop, large as it is, is exported In
small proportion. Only 4 per cent of the
production of seventeen years has gone
abroad for market. The home market
is SO per cent. of all, and it's relative
abundance " scarcity makes the price
If scarce, the price is high, and foreigners
decline to buy; if low enough to compete
with foreign feeding stuffs a larger guam
tity is exported. Neither Liverpool nor
Chicago makes the price, but the farmers
and country feeders, who use five-sixths
of all. 1t is q crop of which railways
carry but q small part. Less than one
fifth crosses state lines. Half is used for
feeding for milk or flesh, one-tenth for
human food and four-tenths for the food
of working animals. For spirits scarcely
per cent. is used.
The prospect for the present year is for
the largest area ever grown of this dis
tinctively American crop. Aside from the
area intended for grain there are millions
of acres drilled for forage, the silo and
the summer dairy. No other plant will
produce so much nutritious feed on a
given area No other is worth SO much
for American tillage.

Feeding Apple Pomace to Cows.

Chemical analysis shows that apple
pomace has higher feeding value than
turnips, beets or potatoes. But it must
be fed iudiciously in order to obtain its
full value. For. instance, q cow cannot
thrive on an exclusive diet Of pomace;
indeed she will harm herself, doubtless,
if left to help herself unrestrained to a
load of pomace dumped down within her
reach. On the other hand, peck, say,
of this substance per day, fed along with
the ration given to. horned stock, will
prove decidedly advantageous.

Gigantic Fortified Oysters.

=
A bed of petrified oysters has been
found on the top of Big Mountain,
just back of Forston, Wyoming
county, Penn. A short time since A.
Hudson Sarke and William N. Rev.
nolds, jr, of Lafayette College, anna.
teur biologists of Tunkhannock,
spent a day on the mountain and
brought back a fine collection of
them. Some of the specimens are OF
mammoth size, one measuring %
inches long by nine inches wide, and
weighing forty pounds. The speci-
mems range in all sizes, from this
down to the ordinary edible oyster OF
the present time. Some OF the speci-
mems show the eye of the oyster per-
iectly, and in all of them the meat 10
easily removed from the shell. The
bed seems to be confined TO small
mound resting on broad plateau, at
the extreme top OF the mountain, near
the Sullivan county line, and was first
unearthed by workmen in grading a
railroad from Lopez to the Jennings
Brothers lumber tracts.
DEMERICO PERI, who was lately re-
ported missing, at Spokane, by his
brother, was found in Hangman's
stream late Monday afternoon. He
had been murdered. His head was
mashed to a jelly, and his pockets
were riAed. Two hundred and eighty
dollars, that he had on his person
when he left was gone, but his watch
was found in his pocket. He had
evidently been murdered in the city
and his body carried in a wagon to a
point up the creek above the long
trestle and there thrown into the
rapidly running stream. The current
had carried the body to q point about
200 feet above the trestle and there it
caught by the feet in clump of will
lows in the middle of the stream where
it was exposed to view. Chief Nc.
Herman and Officer Nelson waded into
the stream and brought the body to
shore. Peril was SO years old and
lived with his brothers family. Satur.
day night he went down town with
$3.50. He failed to return, and his
brother started q search. The only
trace he got OF him was that he was
sitting in the New York dance-hall
about 8 o'clock in the evening. He
was not drinking man and only
went to such places as a spectator.
