Farm Notes.

Alfred Schollsnder Is building large
barn, with stone foundation, on his farm
six miles east Of Montpelier.
NJ. D. Williams has finished seeding
1900 acres of wheat and will have 2OO
acres in addition of oats and barley.
W, 81. Doughty: We need rain down
our way, but wheat is doing we'll except
on highest ground where snow was
blown off. The June rains are usually
sufficient to make crop when the
ground was moist in the spring.
More emigrants from Kansas passed
through here today. One family from
Kensington, Sun.h county, has lived in
the vicinity of Edgeley for year and
then decided to 60 further north to take
advantage Of free lands.
Among recent real estate transfers re.
ported by w. B. S. Trimble are the fol-
lowing The west half 27-142-65, four
miles northwest of Buchanan, to O. G.
Brekke. Mr.. Brekke also recently
purchased the southeast quarter in the
same section from Anton Klaus. The
northeast quarter in the same section
was sold by Mr.. Trimble to F. G. Falck.
All this is wild land. The south half OF
section IO-140.63, with 140 acres under
cultivation has been purchased by Mar

Tattoofng the Human Eve.

The latest discovery OF scientific medi-
cal men is that the human eye may be
tattooed any color. or course, eyes are
only tRttooed in cases where one OF them
Is blind, aud has assumed in consequence
peculiar dead and CHASTITY appearance.
An eye in this condition will entirely dis
hghre face; but n modern ocuiist may
color II to its natural appearance, so that
nothing but the closest scrutiny can de-
teet the dtfferenca between it and its
fellow.
Ihe operation OF tattooing is performed
by first treating the eye with cocaine
until 1t becomes absolutely seuseless to
pain. When all is ready the part to be
operated upon i covered thickly with

THE OLD-FAsHIONED WOMAN.
In Many Ways She Is Truer to Her
Womanhood by Being So.

"When one judges truly what it Is to be
old fash Toned In some of the modern
progressive ideas, 1t does not appear so
bad" writes Edward w. Box, in Ladies'
Home Journal.
at may be true that one who refuses to
be so essentially modern in all pha 4es
OF life misses some things. But then
these progressive spirits seem to miss
some things, too: they seem to miss in
about everything they do, and incident
ally miss, ~ wei, the true aim aud
essence OF life. And there are often
strong compensations in the attitude Of
the 'old fashioned 1t brings fewer
atter-regrets: fewer pictures one wants
to blot out. An Indifference to healthy
progress is injurious to any one. But
when progress seeks to improve upon
those elements in life which are God
ordained, the wisest OF Us are those who
stand still or fall out OF the ranks.
There are some things in this world
which even the wonderful genius OF this
century cannot improve upon. They
were fashioned by skill beyond our ken.
ana we would better let them alone 'for-
ward commands the old proverb, but
then 1t adds, but not too fast The eau
tious woman, the home-loving woman,
the woman fond OF her children, and wit h
belief in God, who gave them to her,
the woman OF pure heart and good pur
pose, the woman who loves and is beloved
need never be disturbed that she is called
old fas hioned. Perhaps she is. But it
is no disgrace to be old fas hioned' in
some things. She is truer to her woman
hood by being 40. Aud she is always in
good company"

TESTING THE SPEED OF a PEOJECTILE AT
SANDY HOOK.
have been laborlng to do away wit,
the theoretical rdrge and obtain for
themselves Il positive knowledge of inst
what it was practical for the guns to
do.
When the test takes place. two open
frames are set 100 feet apart in front of
the gun. Wires are stretched back and
forth across these frames, making a
screen through which the shot must
pass. The wires in each screen form a
complete electric circuit, which in
cludes also an electric battery and an
electro magnet. The projectile, after
leaving the gun flies through the wire
i'll the first screen, lnterrupting the cir
cult and releasing the armature of the
magnet. In space OF time SO small as
to be hardly conceivable the projectile
has covered the distance between the
two frames and pierced the wire in the
second. interrupting its electrical cur
rent and releasing the armature of its
magnet as i'll the first case.
The interval between the drops Of
these two armatures represents the time
spent by the projectile i'll travelling 100
feet This time is indicated by the
chronograph in the laboratory near by.
Wires run from each screen to the lab
oratory, which is fitted up with bat
teries and switchboard. The armature
of the first electro magnet is an iron
rod about three feet long, which is sus
pended vertically. This rod falls when
the first screen is pierced. The arma
ture of the second electro magnet is
placed littie below the first, and when
1T Is released it acts as knife, and,
striking the side of the falling rod,
makes a slight mark.
The distance from this cut or mark
to the end Of the rod indicates the
distance through which the rod has
dropped while the projectile is passing
from one screen to another. This forms
the unit for the calculation of the pro-
jectile's velocity in feet per second.
New explosives and high power guns
have increased the initial velocity of
projectiles wonderfully in the last few
years. Projectiles may be expelled now
with force that will make them effect
i've at range far beyond ordinary eye
sight.

TESTING BIG GUNS.
SYSTEM OF PROVING THE
SPEED OF A PROJECTILE.
THE PROJECTILE Is FIRED THROUGH
TWO OPEN FRAMES PLACED ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET
APART.

1t is now possible to tell the exact
lpeed at which "a projectile moves when
1t leaves the interior of one Of the great
guns which help Sandy Hook 10 frown
on the world. This remarkable fact is
brought about by new instruments never
used before
The method is a. simple as can be.
In its very simplicity lie its usefulness
and practicality. Compared with the
present test, the old ideas of the theo-
retical measurement Of the velocity of
projectle are but child's play. Here for
the first time is actually measured, even
to the fraction Of a second, the exact
speed of IA projectile a. it shoots on its
way of destruction. 1t is to this very
end that the brains of the ordnance de-
partment Of the navy have been work
ing always. An ordnance officer must
have accurate knowledge of the velocity
of a projectile that he may predict its
range and penetration and determine
the accuracy Of the gun 1t is an abso
Lutte necessity that the power of destruc-
ton of the prOJectile, az we'll as the
power Of penetration at the point of
completion of its journey through the
air, should be known. Without such
knowledge there can be no accurate plan
Of firing adopted because to a certain
extent it will be guesswork.
The great trouble has been to get
some practical method to bring about
the desired result which was susceptible
of proof without being aboard the ship,
for instance, that was fired at. II
great guns Of the navy are said to have
a maximum range of nine miles. The
fact Of the matter is, however. that an
so ton gun can never be tested at its
maximum range power aboard a ship.
for if 1t were the recoil would result in
sinking the ship. The army officers

/ other, and black and steel trimming play
an all-important part in the shape of boz
/ dice trimmings and boleros which are al
most universally used. The dressmaker
has really only to decide what form her
trimming will take and she will find 1t
already TO her hand.
The season will witness what to most
people seems return to a very ancient
/ custom the wearing of watch charm
with the two inches or so of chain that
carries the watch. OF course, all the old
favorites that are supposed TO bring hap
piness and good fortune TO the wearer Will
be popular. Others, however and these
are in the majority, are purely fantastic
and irrelevant. Among them are tiny
chicken modelled in gold upon a platinum
dustpan, a donkey kicking a turquoise
football, a minute green frog crawling out
of a gold envelope, a birds nest with
pearl eggs inside an old hat, poodle in a
canoe, and many others are noticed. Thus
far these little appendages have not been
formed with the idea Of conveying any
significant fact beyond that they may be
expensive. The jewellers say, however,
that if the present drift of sentiment con-
tinues, these little charms will come TO
have a language OF their own before
great while.
The prophecy about the emerald is COM
ing true. The price of good specimens is
rising with the rapidty that always fol-
lows the smile Of fashion. \ seven-carat
emerald was sold not long ago for 5000.
The emerald is therefore the jewel of the
season, its only real competitor being the
opal. Diamonds alone are not so fash
ionable, the tendency beng TO mix them
with colored stones. Good rubies still
maintain their price, If they be of the
true color but they have lost much Of
their popularity.
One of the latest fancies that comes to
us from Paris is a cravat of white tulle
tied under the chin in large fluffy bow.
This can be worn with any dress and is
said to be becoming TO every style OF face.
About yard and half is the measure
ment employed for this pretty arrange
ment, but the dimensions of the bow
should be regulated according TO the
height and figure Of the wearer. The
bows must be lightly though tightly tied.
The centre Of the bow should be securely
fastened Each loop of the bow is spread
out fan shape, and the ends carefully cut,
rest lightly on the bow to the right and
