A Clock Garden.

A clock garden, whose flowers will
tell the time of day, is being planned
by Inspector H. A. Ouisterhout, of the
botanical division of the University Of
California. He proposes to cultivate
such a garden on the university
grounds, arranging the plants in dial
form. The hours and half hours are to
be indicated by the successive open
ing and closing of buds. The work OF
producing clock garden will be long
task, as it has never been attempted
in California before, and great deal
of experimenting will be necessary to
find out just what flowers should be
put around the circle to indicate time.
The garden will be the only one Of the
kind in the United States "By get
ting the right varieties of flowers we
can mark all the hours and some of
the half-hours throughout the day."
said Mr.. Ouisterhout, in describing the
projected botanical curiosity. "ThG
flowers would be arranged like a clock,
and in the early morning they would
begin to bloom, the different varieties
at different periods, according to the
light and heat. Gradually the opening
of flowers would extend around the cir
Gle, until at night the circle would be
all in bloom. The first garden of the
kind was made at Upsala, Sweden, by
the botanist Linnaeus. There is also
one in Paris, and efforts have been
made to cultivate them in the eastern
states, but owing to the elements they
have not been very successful. I think
the California climate is suitable for
such an experiment. The questions
that remain to be solved are as to what
flowers are best here, and at what time
of day the different varieties will
bloom here"

Belglum's ARMIES Artist.

Belgium boasts painter of real tall
ent born without arms, who has at
tanned skill and dexterity solely by the
use of his feet in manipulating brush
and coiors. He is Charles Francois
Felu. He was born in Waermaerde, in
West Flanders, June 26, 1880, and lives
at present in Antwerp with his mother.
His father, who died in 1870 was an
employe of the treasury department,
who took up his residence in that city
to enable his son TO continue his artis-
tic studies, which he had previously
carried on at Ostend and Bruges. Be-
sides being talented artist, M. Felu
has been graduated in liberal studies
and has translated several works of
Horace into French verse. His hand
writing" if that term can be used of
writing that is done without hands, is
firm and legible. At one time he in
tended to become teacher, but gave
up the idea for art. Today he makes
remarkable copies, and paints portraits
said to be of real merit. Sitting in
front Of his canvas on an ordinary stool
he holds his palette with his left foot
and paints with his right easily and
firmly. He opens his color box,
squeezes his tubes and sets his palettes
as easily as an artist with the usual
equipment of arms and hands. He
wears sort of mittens on his feet and
puts his boots on himself without as
sistance. It is said that he even shaves
himself M. Felu has had commissions
from the Archduke and Archduchess
Charles Louis of Austria, who visited
his studio in Antwerp, as did the In
fanta Isabel of Spain, in 1885. The lat
ter sent him the cross of the Royal
Order of Isabella the Catholic in recog-
milton If his talent

THE TCHUKTCHIS,
Ehey Value wife at h Handful of
Tobacco.

Ehey Value a Wife at IA Handful OF
Tobacco.
The English explorer Harry de-
Windt, recently returned to London
from the Siberian shores of Behring
Strait. In short time he will leave
England for a lecturing tour in the
United States. He was brutally treated
by the Tchuktchis at Oumwaidjik. In
consequence of this the United States
government will, it is said, send a YES
sci to Oumwaidjik to punish the chief.
The Tchuktchis are nominally Russian
subjects, but the only vessels ever in
the neighborhood are American whalera
and the United States revenue cutter.
Mr.. De Windt had an enforced sojourn
of two months among the natives. He
says they are physically far finer race
than the Alaskan Eskimo races, and
their women are better looking, but the
Tchuktchis are wholly devoid of NOR
atty and will barter wife for hand
full of tobacco. Infidelity is no crime
among them. They number altogether
about 5000, and along Boring strait are
seven settlements of perhaps 300 each.
The others are scattered along the sea-
board of the Arctic ocean, stretching
away to the settlement of Mini KoI-
ymsk. The most weird Tschuktchi GER
emory is the ''Kamitsk." This is sim
ply the putting to death, with their free
consent, Of aged or useless members of
the community. When a Tchuktchi's
powers have decreased to an apprecia-
BILE extent, a family council is held, and
a day fixed for the victims departure
for another world. Perhaps the most
curious feature is the indifference
shown by the doomed one, who takes
a lively interest in the proceedings, and
often assists in the preparations for his
own death. The execution is preceded
by feast, where seal and walrus meat
are greedily devoured and villainous
whisky is consumed.

And I don't complain o. Betsey, or any Of
her acts.
Excepting when we've quarrered, and

So draw up the paper, lawyer, and III

And read the agreement to her, and see
II it's all right;
And then, in the mornin', I'll sell to :
tradin' man know,
And kiss the child that was left to u.s.
and out in the world I'll go.
And one thing put in the paper, that first
to me didn't occur;
That when / am dead at last she'll bring
me back to her:
And lay me under the naples planted
years ago,
When she and was happy, before we
quarrelled so
And when she dies wish that she would
be laid by me,
And, lynn together in silence. perhaps we
win agree;
And, IL ever We meet in heaven I wouldn't
think it queer
If we loved each other the better because
we quarrelled here.

scribes the reconciliation Of the couple.

Australian AlFaIra-Fed stock.

In Australia tine great value Of Luz
eerne to the pastoralist consists in
grazing stock on it, says a writer in
Austraiasian. The employment Of many
hands in farming operations, such as
conserving lucerne in the form of hay
or ensilage, is dreaded by all flock and
herd owners. Nevertheless / am a
firm believer in the conservation Of
fodder in both forms, so that the stock
may be helped over bad season. By
the aid of modern agricultural ma
chinery hay-making is easily and
cheaply performed, and the labor and
cost are still less when ensilage Is
made. Many stock-owners are Of opin-
ion that lucerne Is better for making
fairly good sheep and cattle prime
than for fattening stores from the first.
In both cases the stock would prob
ably do better If they had grass pad
| dock with the lucerne.- All stock like
a change of foo1, and will do better
with a change than with a single ar
ticle OF food, no matter how nutritious
1t may be. While on Mr.. ]. S. Hors-
falls estate Of Widgiewa met with a
good illustration Of the value Of Luz
cerne on pastoral property. The
manager (Mr. Morrison) weans the
stud lambs at a very early age, and
when taken from their dams they are
put on iucerne. The result Is that
the lambs never sustain the slightest
check, and the ewes, relieved from the
burden of having to support a lamb,
come into the shearing-shed in SPLEEN
did condition. / saw the stud ewes
about a month after the lambs were
weaned, and they were kicking up
their heels as If the cares and troubles
of maternity did not exist. The very
heavy fleeces yielded by the lambs on
this estate are sufficient recommends
ton Of the practice of early weaving
on lucerne. In a favorable winter in
Riverina there is often a good growth
of lucerne, but it is not nearly as nu-
| tritious as that of spring and summer
growth. Mr.. p Mcfarland told me
that he had made an experiment which
proved this. He divided a flock OF
wethers equally, one-half he placed on
lucerne, the other on native grass.
They were sold at the same time, and
those off grass were better, and real
lied a higher price than the others.
Australian live stock husbandry is
entering upon a new development,
which will be FASTENED by the growing
Of wheat in Riverina. and in this de-
7elopment Iucerne is destined to play
4 very important part. 1t will cause
double, if not treble, the number of
stock to be kept, and it will provide
The fodder (made into hay or ensilage),
that will cause the losses from
droughts to be reduced till they will
be scarcely worth recording.

Harvest Lobster Ever Captured.

The New York Aquarium, which was
opened some few months ago, has just
become the possessor of the largest
lobster in the world-the largest, too
which has ever been captured. This
specimen weighs no less than thirty
one and half pounds, and measures
three feet four inches frcm the tip OF
his tail to the end of his left claw,
which is two feet long and nine
inches wide. The body has a circum-
ference of nearly two feet, while the
antennae are eighteen inches long and
the legs about twelve inches. Il is
estimated that this specimen is not
less than forty years old.

How He Got Good Prices.

A farmer who kept the best stock to
be had, and whose eggs were always
fresh and his fowls plump, complained
that he got no more for them than his
neighbor, who gave his flocks but lit
tie attention, says a writer in Mirror
and Farmer Both shipped their pro-
duce to the same city, to be sold by a
of eggs per year. When we reflect on
commission merchant. His friend, who
had listened to the complaints, remark
ed: "How can you expect customers
to know that you have something
choice to sell when you do not make
the fact known? Why do you not adj
vertise?" The farmer remarked that
only breeders advertised. "You try it."
said his friend. The farmer inserted
an advertisement in leading daily. as
follows: "a farmer who collects his
eggs daily, and who keeps pure bred
fowls, desires families to send orders
to him direct; no egg over "a hours
old" The result was that in less than
a week he had more applicants than
he cold supply with twice as many hens
as he possessed, and with only one adj
vertisement, which cost him less than
a dollar. There were customers wait
ing for him, and as soon as he made
himself known they came. He received
from 10 to Is cents per dozen more
than the market price for eggs and his
customers were willing to pay we'll for
them.

NONRESIDENT Cattlemen in Kansas
Farmers and cattlemen in Western
Kansas have contended for twenty
years against the encroachments of
nonresident cattlemen, who bring their
stock in the spring into the state and
run them" in some instances assum-
ing the prerogative of building fences
promiscuously across the country under
alleged leases. This has been going on
for years and has caused great difficult
ty for the small cattle raisers. The
nonresident owners secured all benefits
and escaped all taxation. To remedy
this a Hamilton county representative
has introduced bill providing that all
nonresident cattlemen having stock on
pasture shall pay into the county treas
ury a certain sum. 1t is not intended
by the measure to gain heavy revenues,
but to keep the interlopers out.-Ex.

Fighting Flies.-A good plan for
keeping the flies off the COW at milking
time has been suggested. It is said
to work to a charm, and certainly it
costs little to try it. The method is
to throw piece Of cloth over the cow
back at milking time. The cloth can
be made out of old cotton sacks, and
should be large enough to cover the
body very thoroughly, falling down be-
hind over the tail, so that the mem
Der can not be switched into the face of

Awful Deed Of Q Texas Boy.

Galveston, Tex, August 16.-Mrs.
Kate Gallagher, for twelve years a
school teacher in this city, who lived
with her son Virgil at Thirteenth and K
streets, was found today with her
throat cut from ear to ear and the body
charred beyond recognition. After
killing her the murderer set fire to the
bed. No arrest yet though the police
have suspect under surveillance.
Later Virgil the twenty year old
son Of the murdered woman, has been
arrested and confesses he committed
the crime to get money to spend on a
variety actress. The crime was de-
liberately planned and executed. The
young man had packed his trunk and
was ready to leave. He had the furni-
ture insured and with the money ex-
pected to leave Texas as soon as the
fire could be adjusted. But the fire
was discovered in time to prevent the
destruction Of the house and the bloody
shirt in which the crime was committed.

There is an effort in progress just
now, to secure a government weather
station att Johnson City, connected with
q subsidiary station on this mountain,
which is, as the crow flies, seventeen
miles from Johnson City. 1t would be
very valuable aid to the forecasting
of weather and of floods in the Tennes-
see valley. The movement is in infu-

expect to succeed in their undertaking.
If they do they will get that which
must very considerably benefit the
