Snake Skins as Fancy Work.

The ingenuity of woman has COM
passed new use for snakes by the dis
covery that the decorative cast skins
Of the creeping tribe may be converted
into bazaar attractions.
A well known savant, whose sanctum
is lined from floor to ceiling with glass
cases whence venomous eyes regard his
visitors with futile fury, is besieged by
ladies coyetous Of novelties for their
stalls, who beg eloquently for the cast
of clothing Of his reptilian pets.
"At times" he says, II have on hand
a large wardrobe of cast skins-a
bankrupt stock, so to put it, of returned
empties'-some perfect, many mis-
fits and few damaged goods. A really
fine specimen like this"-he held up
for admiration a tawny golden sheeny
length Of scales-"brings quite a high
price at bazaar, and many of my lady
friends, weary Of working the ever
lasting 'crewel,' or perpetuating the
many useless inventions of the fem
mime needle, 'bespeak' skin some
months before 1t is.due, and are often
quite angry that I cannot induce a
snake to shed his skin with due regard
to specified bazaar date.
"These ladies argue that it is great
saving Of labor to substitute the ready
made clothing Of the snake worked for
a tobacco pouch or poisoning braces,
while experience shows that the aver
age man readily invests in a good
snake skin. New York Herald.

The history Of the Kite.

The invention of the kite is usually
attributed to the Chinese. The first
man on actual record as having used
the kite is Archytas (about 400 B. C.).
For what purpose he employed it 1
have been unable to ascertain, hut it
is not probable that he accomplished
anything of scientific Importance; and
it was not until 1749, when DR.. Alex
ander Wilson and Mr.. Thomas Mel
vile, in Scotland, used it for taking
the temperature of the uppel: air, that
the kite showed possibilities Of becom-
ing 8 useful and scientific apparatus.
Franklin's well-known experiment Of
obtaining atmospheric electricity by
means of kite again drew attention
to it. It is, however, within the last
decade that the kite has gained nearly
all of its Importance, and this is due to
its development by men who have
studied it, and the forces acting upon
it, il, scientific way. Among others
may be named Marvin, Langley, Har-
grave and Eddy; by their labors a
hitherto useless toy has become an i'm
portant scientific apparatus. Century.

GOWN OF DovE-GRAY.

that she had two small stewpans just
aiike-what business have men to know
anything about stewpans, anyway? He
walked out of the bed room, saw his
customary little stewpan of hot water
simraering on the hob, poured its
stea,ning contents into his shaving
mug, and. went back to his toilet.
When called out to breakfast, some
fifteen minutes later, he emerged in o
very red and scarifed condition, and
had few remarks to make.
"By George! Never while I live
will I ever try to economi1e again.
That cheap shaving soap which 1
bought is perfect fraud. 1 couldn't
make it lather to save my life, and l
got so nervous that I've gone and
hacked my face all to pieces.
The fwife was still busy putting
breakfast on the. table, but she had
time for few sympathizing remarks.
Then she turned to the fire with sur
prised air, and said:
'sWhat's become of that syrup2"
tWhat syrup?" the man with the
mangled chin inquired.
"Why, I made some sugar syrup for
the batter cakes; it was cooking right
here on the stove, and it is not here.
Where on earth is it?''
"Was it in little stewpan?" the
man asked-"a little stewpan just like
the one you generally put my hot water
in?"
:sYes," she said. ''Did you do any
thing with it?"
"What I did to it was plenty" said
the man. 'I took it and shaved with
it."
OF course, everybody laughed, and
everybody was a triae vexed. The
husband thought the wife ought to
have posted him on the steWpans; the
wife thought the husband ought not
to walk off with stewpans without ask
ing questions, and the, children still
think it is queer father who will cheat
his own infants ont of syrup on their
batter cakes.-Louisville Courier-Jour-

The Microbes of Rinderpest.

Professor E. Symes-Thompson re-
Gently delivered at Gresham College a
course OF four lectures on Bacteria
and Disease" Referring to the in
vestigations now being made into the
cause of the rinderpest in South Af-
rica, he expressed his belief that the
microbe discovered by DR.. Eddington
at Grahamstown might be regarded as
the microbe of rinderpest. Professor
Koch appeared to have ascertained
that the organisms could be trans
ferred from animal to animal, for in
stance: The disease produced was
much milder than in the case of others.

incubation of the less virulent form
Of rinderpest would render cattle i'm

actly as vaccination rendered us i'm
mune to small pox.-London Inven-

The Care of Swine,

The following "notes" are taken from
paper read by J. s. Burns at an in-
stitute:
"The prevalent notion among farm
ers that brood SOW should be kept
in low flesh is contrary to the best ex-
perience. Give an abundance of sue
culent food.
s'The use of corn in the feeding of
swine has been dropped out until at
present this grain is fed very little by
us except as finish for pork. Choice
would be for nothing better than roots,
milk and feed. In the absence OF past
ure, for SOW during the period of ges-
tation, and until the pigs are six weeks
old, except in the coldest weather, and
even then comfortable quarters are pre-
ferable to much concentrated food for
producing heat.
When the pigs show disposition to
eat from the trough one to which the
SOW cannot have access should be pro-
yided. Now is the critical period in
the pigs life. If we over-feed we i'm
pair digestion. If we stint in feed we
retard growth. II the feed is too con-
stipating disease is ready to enter. If
it is too laxative scours is produced.
These ills may result from careless
feeding of the SOW;
ssNo iron-clad rule can be given as
to quantity and quality of foods for
pigs at this time, as conditions vary
and much depends upon what the sow
is receiving. If she has an abundance
of succulent food or pasture pure skim
milk is excellent for the pigs; other
wise it is too constipating, unless some
bran and oil meal are added.
cit is important that the pigs have q
clean, dry bed and plenty of exercise.
Whenever the weather permits they
should be induced to stir out. Failure
to take exercise is the one great hins
drance to success in raising pigs in
very cold weather. They burrow in
their nests and remain inactive until
thumps destroys them.
Experience leads me to assert that
wheat is an excellent feed for swine, If
ground and mixed we'll with other and
lighter feed, the mass being made into
slop. Have had no very satisfactory
results from feeding whole wheat,
especially when fed dry. By soaking
whole wheat can be fed to considerable
extent without loss. For young pigs,
where growth is the essential point,
sloppy feed is superior to dry feed Of
any kind. For growing pigs, I could
never use pure ground wheat. Oats,
or very heavy bran, or both, should be
added. Some succulent, or bulky food
should always be given with this con-
centrated food, thus aiding digestion
and sustaining the appetite"

Especial New York Lottery
New York women are never satisfied
unless organizing some new fad. Now
it is society to cultivate the proper
use of the voice in conversation. The
promoters claim that the voice betrays
the character of the person to far
greater extent than most of us realize.
Many people express but one condi-

vousness, placidity, self-confdence,
timidity, the spirit of martyrdom or
candor
The idea appeals evidently to many,
as the club is already one of the largi-
estin town. Many well-known society
women have entered their names on
the roll of membership.

AGRICULTURAL.
Prolific Sheen.

English sheep breeders have by
careful selection improved the proli-
fcacy of certain breeds of sheep. A
large proportion of the long-wool sheep
will drop two lambs. The Dorset and
Shropshire breeds are most prolific,
though Lincoln and Leicester sheep
will more than double the number of a
flock of ewes in a single year. This
adds to the value of these breeds, max
ing it possible to increase the flock
rapidly. We have heard few in
stances of Merino sheep casting twin
lambs. It would be well if these lambs
were interbred to increase the tend
ency. Enough is now known about
extra feeding of young lambs to make
twins profitable, even tlough the milk
of the dam be not more than enough
for one.
