January, according to the record in the
office of the United States Weather Blu
reau, the snowfall was Is and 9-1Oth in

making 80 and 40 inches for the two
months up to the latter date. The snow
fall, Sunday, was inches, making ~
of an inch of water. Mr.. Todd, the OBJ

A Broken Limb.

On Saturday morning at daylight,
Mrs. Caroline Martin, who resides with
her son-in-law, Al. W. Reudy, met with
a serious accident, by falling on the door
and breaking her leg near the hip joint.
The fracture is serious one, and Is b.
ing treated by DR.. Crumbine. Mrs.
Martin has been suffering with severe
attack of rheumatism, and the muscles of
her limbs have become weak. On arfs-
ing Saturday morning, she fell to the
floor and met with the injury to her hip.
The supposition is that the muscles be-
ing weak she fell On her knee, to the
floor, and the weight of her body caused
the fracture. Mrs. Martin is Is years OF
age, and is very fleshy. Mr. and Mrs.
Reudy were aroused by the cries of their
mother, ana Immediately went to her re-
lief. The fractured limb has been reset,
bat the unfortunate woman will probably
be cripple for life.
Mrs. Martin met with similar mis-
hap about week before the accident On
Saturday. She was walking with cane
when the stick broke, and she fell and
injured her hip slightly.

Honeycombed With Deceptions.

Practical joking was carried on by
all classes IN the Middle Ages, the
"eii-tso- DO employing mechanical in
struments to assist them in their
pastime. The Chateau d'Hesdiu, the
gundy, was honeycombed with decep-
tions of all kinds. Some of the
machinery he worked with his own
hands, but the rest was worked by O
guest stepping on hidden spring or
touching certain panel in the wall.
For instance, stranger, on reaching
the middle of the room, would be in
stantly covered with SCOT or flour, the
result of trap-door overhead having
opened. In one room there was fixed
beside the door the mechanical figure
of u knight armed with q short stick.
This figure, so placed, seized all in
truders and gave them n sound thrash
ing. 1t is related that once Philip was
himself caught by it, and that before
he could free himself he received a
severe beating In the great gallery
there was fixed to the wall figure
known as the "Prophesyiug Hermit, "
and at the feet of this figure there was
n trap-door. While the fortune telling
was going on, part of the ceiling
opened, and flour and water poured
down, appropriate thunder and light.
ming following in quick succession.
The trap in the floor then opened, and
the guest fell into n sack of feathers.
But the most elaborate trick of all was
that in which all the guests were
duped. Adjoining the great gallery
there was large room filed with
armed figures. While the guests were
dining, cries would be heard proceed
ing from this room, and the company
would naturally rush upstairs to as
certain the cause. The mechanical
figures in armor then moved from their
places, and drove the victims of the
joke out of the room into passage,
the floor of which opened, and they
were precipitated into cellar three
feet deep with water. Philip seldom
received second visit at IIesdin from
the same party

Danger From Lightning.

Are you afraid of lightning? Be
comforted; your greatest danger does
not lie in that direction. There is an
average of only two hundred and five
deaths from lightning over the whole
United States in a year, while in New
York City alone fifteen hundred peo-
pie annually meet accidental deaths.
In the same city two hundred people
are drowned each year, while one
hun ired and fifty are burnt or scalded
to death, and five hundred more meet
deaths by falls of one hind or another,
so that if statistics prove anything
there is fifty per cent. greater danger
of being kicked by II horse in New
York City than of being killed by
lighting II is also interesting to learn
that statistics prove there are five
times as many lightning fatalities in
the country as in the cities, probably
on account of the metal roofs and
well-grounded water systems to be
found in the latter, which carry off the
discharge and act as lightning conduc-
tors. Another erroneous current be-
lief is that lightning strokes are nee
essarlly fatal, while statistics show
that of two hundred and twelve pei
sons struck, only seventy-tour result
ed fatally.

A Coast Down Hin.

We have not circumvented the

There they stand, rising from our inn,

had a vision of angels who should bear

bargain was soon made, two coolies
hitched tandem to each wheel, and the
long line was OF at once. Feet off

land and sea, garden farms and toy
like villages. But the wheelman can
not stop long Waiting is not his
virtue. The coolies are paid; we ex-
anime brakes and find them all right.
So feet on coasters, brake well in hand,

1t is holiday, and the peasants are
resting from their labors. They see
us far above, aud line their village
streets all dressed in their best, silent,
respectful, hesitant, as the strange
procession of visitants from the clouds
glides past. Down we go for miles,
and then one brief stretch of land
brings MS to our incoming place. Our
welcome over, we are lead to a suit of
clean, white matted rooms in the
second story, overlooking the tiny
garden full of quaint shrubs and trees.
Barefooted, deft handed maidens bring
lacquer trays with dainty dishes full of
soup, rice, fish, and eggs, with chop
sticks, best of implements for such
fare, and bountiful supply of fragrant
straw-colored tea. So we rest an hour
content at the foot of Fuji San, before
the wheels go on again.

Professor King, of the Wisconsin
Experiment Station, says
Where corn and potatoes are to be
grown on heavy lands it will be worth
while To- try the effect of sowing some
crop in the fall. like winter rye. which
can be allowed to grow To Il consider
able height the succeeding spring and
then be plowed under To leave the soil
more open and warmer. The crop of
green manure on naturally too wet
lands has the double advantage Of
first draining the ground by taking
from it that which it needs for its
growth, and this is at the rate of more
than 300 tons of water for each and
every ton of dry matter produced on
the land, and second, of adding fertil-
ity to the soil while it leaves it in bet
ter filth. The danger in using this
method lies in letting the green ma
nure crop grow too long. especially
should the early part of the season be
dry, when it has tendency to leave
the upper soil too dry for the second
crop to get a good start.

How Wrinkles arc Made.

Laugh and grow wrinkled'
pleasant reading of an old adage, is
1t ? Nevertheless, it is logical one.
The wrinkles of the nose, which de-
scend from the nostrils down each side
of the mouth, are created in laughing
and mastication; simple smile is suf-
ficient to produce them, so it is not
surprising that the repetition of the
commonest acts should soon be craven
on the face. Going in the sun with
the face insuiliciently covered pro-
duces wrinkles prematurely; but they
are In every case normal at forty, or
even earlier. Vertical wrinkles be-
tween the eyes come quickly to men
who study or IVORY themselves The
arched wrinkles of the forehead, found
above the root of the nose, tell of long
mental torture. The crows feet mark
the passing of the fortieth year, and
are characterized by burrows which
dlverge from the external angles of
the eyes in all directions, like the
claws of II bird, from which they are
named. The wrinkles of the cheeks
and chin follow the oval of the face,
and caused by diminution of the
fatty substance under the skin, which
then falls into folds. The small
wrinkles, which form network in the
lower parts of the cheeks near the ears,
have the same origin, and only appear
in old age. Those found in the up-
per eyelids, and sometimes in the low
err, which give the eyes an air of ia
tigue, are the results Of hard living,
grief or worry.

The Saving ofFnt-.

The saving and clarifying of fats is
one of those economies which great
many American housewives have aban-
doned, because they have found it i'm
possible to make the average servant
save aud separate the fats of the litch-
en- and clarity them for their respec-
tive uses. No French housekeeper
scorns such small economies; nor does
she allow her servant to evade what
she considers a necessary part of her
kitchen work.
Fats of the kitchen may be divided
into four kinds. First come the deli
cate fats, like clarified butter, brown
butter and chicken fat, which are val
liable in the finest cookery. Second
ly, there are the fats clarified from the
dripping of roast meats, the fat
skinned off the top of the broth ket-
ties before vegetables and salt have
been added, and any fat from beef,
veal or fresh pork. This kind OF fat
Is the most valuable frying fat that
can be obtained. 1t is far better than
lard, so commonly used for deep fry
ing.
