Columbus discovered America
through his failure to reach India, as
he hoped to do by sailing westward.
David Livingstone studied for three
years with the sole aim Of being mis-
sionary to China. 1t was only be-
cause his hopes were crushed by the
opium war, which made it impossi-
BILE to enter China, that he thought of
going to Africa and was the means Of
opening up who'll continent to
Christianity and civilization.
Some years ago an ingenious plan
was proposed by a man named jog
gins for sending logs from Canada to
New York by towing them, bound to-
gether by cables and iron girders, as
RATS. The plan failed, as the first
raft sent out met with storm near
the end of its voyage, the iron girders
snapped and the logs we're scattered
far and wide. Hundreds of captains
in the Atlantic, the Mediterral can and
the South seas noticed these logs and
reported ON them. The reports were
collected and systematized and deduc.
tions made from the.-. 60 tue course
of ocean currents. So the failure OF
the Joggins raft led to one of the
greatest discoveries in modern marine
geography and navigation.

The Amazon is The king of streams
From first to last it receives over
twelve hundred tributaries, of which
more than one hundred are large
sized rivers and rise so far apart and
have their floods and Gibbs at such diff
ferent seasons that the Amazon is at
about the same height the year round.
AT some points on its lower course one
bank is invisible from the other. The
beholder seems to be looking on q
great yellow sea of fresh water. When
discovered, some tribes of indians on
the lower portion knew nothing of the
existence of the opposite shore and did
not believe that it existed, saying that
1.-THE great river flowed all around the
world" Its mouth, including that of
the Para, is one hundred and eighty
miles in width, and il is navigable for
large-sized steamers for one thousand
miles from the sea, and so vast is the
flood that the ocean is tinged yellow
for four hundred miles from the coast
Of Brazil

No kind of grain should be fel
whole and unprepnrel except to poul-
try and sheep. Each Of these have so
strong digestive organs that, unless
overled, they will get as much good
from grain fed whole as they would
after 1t had been ground. But for
other stock, and especially for horses
and hogs, neither of which are rumi-
nants, grain should be ground and
mixed with some coarser feed, so that
it will not cloy the stomach. Working
horses especially need ground feed.
The best mixture is corn and oats
ground together, and mixed with cut
clover hay slightly moistened So That
the meal will stick to it. The horses
will chew this, mixing their saliva
through it before it passes to the
stomach. Food thus prepared digests
quickly aud much more perfectly thnn
it could in the form of whole grain.

The tomato is popular with all
classes in King Humbert's realm. In
every home and cottage in Italy the
preserving of tomatoes is carried on.
Terraces, balconies, and even the fiat
roofs Of the houses are half covered
with plates containing the deep red
substance. 1t is picturesque sight
when the women are to be seen fitting
about ON the roofs and terraces, attend
ing the deep red preserve, their colored
handkerchlefs flung over their heads
to screen them from the rays Of the
burning sun when it is at its fercest
Though the preserve is used by all
classes of persons, it is more necessary
to the poor than to the rich, for the
latter can make use of the fresh
tomatoes preserved in tins. Tomatoes
may be timed whole, as we know from
those usually imported into England
from America. But in Italy the fruit
is generally passed through sieve,
the pulp being then placed III tins,
which are Immediately soldered down
and then put in boiling water for five
minutes. The cost of small tin is
half franc, so it is as rule beyond
the means of the poor.

stage was erected in the harbor Of
Portsmouth within the tide mark; on
this an Armstrong gun of the one hun
dred and ten pound pattern was
mounted. The gun was then loaded
and carefully aimed AZ target while
the tide was low. The target itself
was placed only twenty five feet from
tho muzzle Of the gun. 1t was com
posed of oak beams and planks, and
was tweniy-one inches thick. In or
der to make the Griper invulnerable,
sheet of boiler plates three inches
thick was riyeted to the water-logged
hull in direct range with the course
the ball was expected to take if not
detected by the water.
On all of these-the oaken target,
the boiler plates, and the old vessels
hull-the eject of the shot from the
submerged gun was really startling.
The wooded target was pierced through
and through, the boiler iron target
was broken into pieces, and driven in
to its backing, the ball passing
right out through both sides of the
vessel, making two huge holes,
through which the water poured in
torrents. Taken altogether, the ex-
pertinent was an entire success.

in localities east of the Rocky
mountains, where irrigation is not
practicable, much may be done to
guard against the effects of lrouth, by
deep plowlas aud thorough iucorporu-
ton of fertilizers with the soil, writes
NJ. V. Moore of Alabama. Last year
the rainfall OF the winter and early
spring months had SO filled the sub
soil with moisture that three-months
drouth had not exhausted the source
of supply for the roots by the plants
above. When one begins to water a
plant from above, the tendency of the
roots Is to grow upward towards the
crust OF the earth, where the artificial
irrigation has been begun. The prop
or course for the roots is obiduely
downward, toward the natural reser-
voir OF moisture in the subsoiI. The
reason why 50 many OF the wetered
plants are short lived aud almost bar
rem of best fruits is caused by the
roots being too near the surface to
withstand the effects OF drouth, and
in periods Of excessive rainfall they
are liable to be drowned out. In tho
irrigation states the most eilicacious
and satisfactory methods Of irrigation
are found in those systems which sup
ply the water from below, through the
subsoil, and not by fl 1oding the sur.
face. In my experiments last year,
with tomato plants, found those that
set very deep il loose soil grew right
ahead iu great vigor and freshness
vithou, any artificial irr:gotiou. The
drouth DID not y;',5ly effect their
growth except that the Pants were later
in ripenIng their mt than they were
in the previous yehr's VT season. In
1895 Lad ripe tomatoes May ). Last
season the first ripe ones were gathered

tificial irrigation to- may sections OF

Exotic Animals.

On the thousand-acre menagerie farm
in California will be tried an expert
ment in the breeding of elephants,
hippopotami, lions, tigers, llamas,
nilgaus, kangaroos, and other tropical
and exotic animals, such as are in
common demand for purposes of exhi-
bition. The design is to obtain the
conditions suited to every sort of animal
use l for exhibition, and the proprietor
thinks that he can come nearer to
realizing these conditions in Califor-
mia than anywhere else. Natives of
the various countries from which the
animals come, who are accustomed to
their ways, will be employed to look
after them.

Now that SO much is written and
said concerning the importance OF re.
hned table manners, there is no ex-
cuse Tor the man or woman who re-
mains ignorant Of them. Observation
shouid teach any person of average in
teliees that it is not correct to push
moro food upon the fork than can be
conveniently held there, and that an
oyster fork is not designed for use on
sweetbreads. The horrible sounds
that some persons of money make
when eating and drinking are sugges.
tive OF pigs at trough, and following
out this idea 1t would be more seemly
for them TO eat elsewhere than in the
public gaze. 1t may seem byper-sensi-
tive to some people to assert that we
consider woman justified in breaking
of her engagement with man who
persistently eats with his knife. You
note we use the word persistently, for
in that lies his great fault. There may
be some individuals whose education
has Included knife juggling, but sure
ly when they see that this accomplish
ment is not appreciated in polite So
ciety it seems like pigbeadedness in
more senses than one to persist in so
unpleasant practice.

The largest mouth, proportional to
the size of the animal, is that of the
frog, The mouth of the leech is a
powerful sucker, which will sustain
many times its weight The tongue
of the toad and frog is prehensile.
By means of it these animals seize and
hold their prey. The mouth Of the
lobster is small and he must tear his
food to pieces with his claws before
he can deyour it. The mouth of the
octopus is in the centre of his body
and is provided with beak closely
resembling that of parrot. The
teeth of fish, like the teeth of most
animals, are not fastened to the bone,
luj are held in sockets.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.


Around most houses where peaches
were boughtnnd used last fall, as well as
in the gardens where peach trees have
borne. will be found numerous seed
ling peach trees that start from their
pits, and are ready to grow as soon rs
spring opens. If these are cirefully
taken up, aud set in rows where they
can be cultivated, they will be ready
for bndding mex, August. Ga no ac-
count should either Seeding or bad be
used if it is Contaminated with yell
lows. This will be seen by 1t less
thrifty growth in the secdiug. with a
tendency to put out numerous small
branches, instead OF growing one
straight stem, as healthy peach tree
should.

Pumpkins ARE excellent food for
cattle, hogs aud chickens. Such a
change OF diet is beneficial and profit
able in touing up the system aud saS-
ing more solid and costly foods. They
can be grown very eheaply, for one
field will produce crop of corn aud
pumpkins at the same time. The Con-
uecticat field pumpkin is especially
adapted to growing in corn, and there
is nothing to prevent every farm n
having 80 to 100 aud moro loads every
year. There is little extra work in
planting them just few days before
the corn is plowed the first time.
When they are mature, haul ont to
the pasture or hog lot aud break while
unloading. Either hogs or cattle will
eat them and it will surprise you to
see the quantity consumed aud the
benefit derived.

There are more wrinkles in the face of a
baby monkey than there are in that OF an old
baboon. And speaking of wrinkles, more of
them can be wrought out in fair young
face by neuralgia than will be found in that
OF an aged person. Constant pain will
shrivel, and neuralgia neglected will pillow
its burrows deep. It not only wrinkles, but
takes the bloom away and gives the skin a
dull and yellow look. st. Jacobs Oil IS q
prompt and sure cure for neuralgia, and it
should be used, as while 1t soothes and cures,
it smOoths out the tracks of pain and leaves
the skin healthy and fair again; besides lt
