A RnlIroad Acrtar M,s At1ntIc.

The Chairman Of the Tower Bridge
Committee, London, Is said TO have
once received letter from q Belfast
genius, with n proposal which COM
pletely puts in the shade any possible
imaginable way Of bridging or tunnel
ing the English Channel. He declared
that he had invented nothing less than
q submersion railway and locomotive
engine to cross the Atlantic. Such
details as the provision OF air for the
passengers and coal for the engine APP
pear to have been too trivial for him
to condescen d to consider, but doubt
less in due course these trifes will be
provided for. A very similar absurd.
ity is the proposal OF French ply
sician to form u syndicate-but what
can that blessed business, n syndicate,
not do-for the. e.purpose OF construct
ing a submarine railway along the bot
tom of the channel, the cars to be
provided with air tubes reaching to
tho surface.
A more genuine engineering pro-
posal is that for the postal tubes be-
tween France and England. Each tube
is projected to have diameter of
three feet, to be suspended by steel
cables at height Of 100 feet above
the water. The cables are to be fixed
TO pillars reaching from the bottom to
the required height, erected at inter
walls of 500 yards apart. Miniature
trains, each with q suitable load of
mail matter, will run through the
tubes. A bigger development of this
postal tube is the idea of n Spaninrd
to transmit letters in pneumatic tubes
laid from South America to Europe,
by which letter deposited in the tube
at Rio Jsniero would arrive in Europe
the same day.

The Electric Motor and Clothing.

The competition in cheap clothing
has had the effect of so lowering wages
that the operators in some depart
ments of tailoring find it hard to make
a living. But the Sweating shop"
now has a rival in the electric motor,
and many tailoring houses find that
the more use they can make of elec-
tricity in turning out of their goods
the better they are able to undersell
their competitors. One manufacturer
has invented an electrical machine for
cutting out cloth, which is said to be
capable of cutting over $50 suits
day. The average work for a man is
about twenty-five suits a day. He can
cut only four thicknesses of cloth /;
the machine easily cuts through eight.
1t is lightly constructed, stands four
teen inches high and weighs thirty
pounds. The base is of bronze, the
armature being supported by forged
steel standard. The cutting knife is
protected by a shield. 1t is four in
ches in diameter and revolves with
the rapidity of buzz saw. The ma
chine oils, shsrpens and lights itself
automatically. 1t develops one.eighth
of horsepower and works on no.
volt circuit. Chicago Record.

TO STAIN A FLOOR.

Carpets and large rugs In summer
cottage are a great nuisance, and it will
be found much cooler to stain the
floor. The following processes for
staining wood black Is vouched for by
the Scientific American:
It consists in painting the wood
consecutively with copper sulphate
solution Il per cent? aud alcoholic
aniline acetate (equal part of alcohol
and acetate). A very durable black
and the nearest approach to real ebony
is readily obtained by moistening the
surface of the wood with diluted sui
phuric acid Il to 20), and subsequent
ly applying heat. A temperature of
sixty to ninety degrees @, sulfices in a
few minutes to produce the desired
result.
An excellent black was obtained in
this way on beech, bass and lockwood,
while n second treatment with the
acid was necessary in the case of
cherry, walnut and birch.
With oak, ash and apple the results
were not SO good. The process is es-
pecially adapted to small articles.

Flags That win Stand Wear.

The item of the expense of keeping
cold Glory" floating Ievery day over
public buildings or schoolhouses where
the daily display of the National ban.
ner is rendered obligatory is not a
small one.
In East St. Louis, Ill, company
has been formed with q capital of
$1,000 to go into the manufacture
of sheet iron, zinz and other metal
flags. The material from which the
flags now in use are made is not very
durable, and IN the soft coal burning
States the banner lasts at best but a
few weeks, all depending on the
weather, and until after a weeks use
it becomes so dirty as to almost lost
its identity, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
The Stars and Stripes, duly waving
and apparently futtering, will be
painted on the metal and then enam-
eled. When dirty the flag can be
lowered and washed. Such flags will
Withstand the gales which SO readily
whip those now in use into ribbons.

Death From Fright.

A remarkable case OF death from
fright WAS that of the Dutch painter
Poutman. He was at work in his
studio, where there we're number of
deaths heads and skeletons, when he
happened to fall asleep. During his
sleep there was slight shock of earth
quake, and when he woke up suddenly
he saw the skeletons and skulls dance
ing around in the greatest confusion.
He at once became panic.strickeD, and
rushed across the room and threw him
self out of the window onto the pave
ment below. He died few days af-
ter, not from injuries received in the
fall, but from the nervous shock given
by the dancing skeletons, though the
cause of their feftiyity was explained
to him. Black and White.

DOGS AND sHEEr.

1t is strange that when sheep are once
thoroughly frightened by dogs the
usefulness of their lives is ended. Re-
Gently relative in Saratoga County
appealed to me for remedy for seven
sick sheep. Each had different symp-
toms from all the rest and, taken alto
gether, they exhibited about all the
symptoms of every known disease OF
sheep. diagnosed the cause of the
trouble as the thread lung-worm, and
requested the sickest one to be
slaughtered and examined. No visible
cause could be seen. In the report OF
the post-mortcm it transpired Incl
dentally that the flock had been chased
by dogs some weeks previously, and
they killed one. This explained all.
Seven died. After having been chased
by dogs a flock should be watched
closely, and at the least sign of any
thing being wrong with any of them,
slaughter them, for they are then good
for food. Farm and Fireside.

PROHIBITION 121 YEARS OLD.

The first Continental Congress met in
Philadelphia, September 8, l774, and adopt
cd the following;
"Resolved, That II be recommended TO tho
several Legislatures Of tine United States TO
Immediately pass laws the most effectual for
putting an Immediate stop TO the pernicious
practice of distillng grain. by which the
most extensive evils are likely to be derived,
IL not quickly prevented. As a result OF this
measure. in 1776 Virginia prohibited the dis
tilling of grain, as also did Now York, 'un-
less the grain was unfit for flour Maryland
prohibited grain distilling in 177S, and Penn
sylvania 10 1779."
Thus we see that prohibition is not a new
tangled notion OF modern fanatics, but ante
dated the Declaration Of Independence.
The founders Of the republic did not believe
In freedom TO manufacture and sell alcoholic
poisons. That was not the kind OF freedom
that they sought in this new world. The

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND MOTIFS.

Wine opens the damper to let all the fires
OF evil in man burn.
Saloon keepers are recruiting officers for
the army of drunkards.
The drunkard's wife knows by bitter ex
perlence that wine is a mocker.
More people enter jail through the saloon
doors than in all other ways combined.
Every swing of the saloon door finds at
echo OF woe IN the heart Of some woman.
The Chicago Tribune says that liquor was
the cause Of 74S murders reported In its col
uylns in 1892.
Statistics of the Worlds Fair recently pub.
lished show that out Of total attendance OF
2sO00,C0O only l56 cases OF drunkenness
were reported.
Sir Andrew CLARK, the general physician
in the largest hospital In London, says that
seven out OF every ten persons treated there
owe their i'll health to drink.
Temperance Cause asserts that thero are
moro than forty temperance societies In
Janan, with a membership OF upwards OF
ten thousard men and women.

PRACTICAL SHEEP HusBAYDRY.

Sheep require special feeding for
the reason that the fleece, being a
valuable product, equal TO or surpass-
ing in value the carcass, is to be nour-
ished. Wool has q large proportion
of nitrogen In it; it has some sulphur
as we'll; and if these are not supplied
in the food the wool must be deficient.
Of all the plants grown for feeding
the stock, clover best supplies both
these necessaries of the animal.
Have a few lamb creeps about the
pastures, into which the lambs may
squeeze themselves, but the sheep can
not, and there they should find little
but regular supply of the most nutri-
tious food. Linseed-oil cake, with a
little molasses mixed, will be especially
desirable.
Don't give the flock any cotton seed
meal. There is no other animal that
needs such care in the feeding as the
sheep, or in avoiding costiveness.
And this feed tends this way.
Complaints are often made of the
woody smell of mutton. This is not
due to the wool at all. The smell of
wool is due to the sheep anyhow, and
when carcass is not rightly dressed
and the animal odor given chance to
escape, the meat tastes of the sheep.
That is all. To avoid this take out
the inside as quickly as possible, and
do not wash the carcass down un-
til it has had little time to evaporate
this ordor.
Above all things avoid stagnant or
slow running water for flock. 1t is
the worst thing for the encouragement
of the lung worm that exists.
Sow few pounds of white turnips
on stubble in August or even later.
1t will occupy to advantage some
otherwise vacant piece of land, and
provide. excellent food for the flock
/. at time when it is twice valuable.
Keep the sleeps noses tarred. Do
this by giving salt i'll narrow V-shaped
trough with fresh tar painted on the
sides daily. 1t will prevent damage
by the sheep gGd-dy.
Strictly speaking, it is the ewes
that most need to be weaned, the
lambs really weaving themselves as
| the milk oil the ewes falls OH, Ihe
ewes are most in danger of this wean-
ing, especially those which have been
giving the most milk. To take the
lamb from such ewes as this and leave
the eve to her fate, is mostly to lose
some of the best sheep in the flock,
for the ewes that rear the best lamb:
are not only good themselves, but
they are reproduced in the lambs. 1
is not always the case that the shep
herd thinks of this. But in truth th,
character of the ewes in this respec
gives the real value to the flock.
Whatever is given to sheep should
, be given with regularity. Once useC
TO anything, sheep fret if they are pu
) off even. This applies to feeding anC

10 MAKE SODA WATER.

Soda water is made by dissolving
common carbonate of soda in water
and adding tartaric acid. A strong
effervescence occurs, due to the escape
OF the carbonic acid of the carbonate
of soda, leaving in solution in the
water the tartrate OF soda formed by
the union Of the soda and the tartaric
acid. This effervescing liquid, with q
piece of ice in it, makes a refreshing
drink in hot weather and acts rs a
mild aperient. Common soda water,
as sold, is plain water charged with
carbonic acid gas in machine in
which this gas is made by treating
marble dust, carbonate of lime, with
sulphuric acid, causing large evolu.
tion of carbonic acid and leaving the
lime in combination with the sui
phuric acid as sulphate of lime. New

NOW THE ODD CORNERS.

The short hay crop makes it neces-
sary to save every spear of grass on
the farm, writes E. l.. Vincent. On
every place there are some odd corners
which are rarely moved. This year
every one of these should be cut.
Often there will be little hooks in the
garden or around the house where the
grass grows up rank. On many farms
there are still old-fashioned rail
fences. In the corners of these quite
little hay may be made, and even
along the borders of plowed fields,
especially when they lie against
fences, there will be fringes of grass
which should be cut. Some farmers
make practice of moving spots in
their pasture which grow up so tall
that the cattle are not apt to eat of
the grass. In this way quite an ad-
dition may be made to the haymow.
Only little may be secured from each
of these places; but "many mickle
makes a muckle," and, when the out.
look is SO discouraging for anything
like fair crop in the meadows, we
must not allow any grass to go to
waste. The seeding of coru has been
heavy this year, but corn alone is moi
perfect ration. We want all ths
grass we can get.
