Johnson's Chill and Fe-
yer Tonic is a ONE-DAY
Cure. 1t cures the most
stubborn case of Fever In
n Hours.
Falling Walls at Fires.

Mr.. Charles T. Hill contributes to
St. Nicholas an article on The
Perils of Firehan's Life, in the
course of which he says:
There are several kinds of falling
walls, and the fireman of experience
knows them well, and what to expect
from each. There is one kind that
breaks first at the bottom and comes
down almost straight, somewhat like
a curtain. This makes a big noise,
but is not very much to be dreaded.
Then there is another that bulges or.
''buckles" in the middle at first, and
makes o sort of curves as it descends.
This is little more serious than the
first, and has caused many fatalities.
Then there is one that breaks at the
bottom and comes straight out, reach
ing clear across the street, and remain
ing almost solid until it strikes; and,
as an old-time fireman once remarked:
"That's the kind you want to dodge"
This kind of "falling wall' has
caused more of the deaths in the de-
partment than any other danger the
firemen have to contend with. 1t has
killed horses as well as men, and de-
stroyed apparatus; and it is SO rapid in
its descent, and covers so much space,
that to escape it the men have to be
quick indeed.

laundry wagon running between Belle

prisons, receives the smallest remun-
Grafton of any public servant in the,
country-two dollars year.
While the amount of "Old Steve's'
pay is as distinctive in a way as the
Presidents, it is just $40, 1898 less. 1t
can be said, however, that Steve does
more worrying and figuring over his
annual income than the Chief Execu-
tive does over his. What is more as
tonishing is the fact that Steve has
bank account.

and he came to this country when Is
years old. After a while he was given
the position of driver of the laundry
wagon. On the first of every January
he is paid 50 by Miss Alice Brennan,

School. He counts the days until the

wands ere transferred by the other re-
firing officers. The new officers gen.
orally insist also on taking an oath be-
for the County Judge, although he has
no authority in the matter. The na-
tives imagine that their actfa9 is rati.

States. They also have CaciqGe,
who is hereditary and holds his posi-
ton for life. He is the head of the
system of pagan religion, while the
Governor is the head of civil affairs,
but so great is the reverence of the
people for the Cacique that in any con-
troversy his will is practically law as
against the rule of the Gobernador.
The pyramid people ask no help OF
Uncle Sam, and he does not interfere
in their internal affairs. They have
acquired community title to their

courts only once or twice, and then
because whites encroached on their
lar They lease some of their land
to Mexican neighbors at the rate of 81

about two bushels, and it will seed
about two acres, making the rent
about fifty cents an acre.

About Dishorning.

OF o lot of twenty yearlings and two
year-old steers now being fed at tho
Oklahoma Experiment Station, eleven
were dishorned in November, the others
having been dishorned previously.
Three days later the dishorne6 steers
were found to have lost an average of
eleven pounds each in weight, while
those previously dishorned showed an
average gain of fifteen pounds each.
One week later the freshly dishorned
steers showed gain of thirty pounds
each, the other nine gain of twenty
one pounds. The apparent loss from
the dishorning for the ten days was
about sixteen pounds each. Not one
of the dishorned steers seemed to
show any i'll effects from the opera
tion, but they evidently ate less for a
few days.-Indiana Farmer.

Now Forage Plant.

The English horse bean is obtaining
a foothold in California as forage
plant. 1t has been tried in several
counties and in every case has given
satisfaction. In Butte County tract
of 100 acres has been planted with it.
AS a forage plant where conditions are
favorable it is said to be unexcelled. 1t
grows readily in the winter months,
gives returns early in the spring, before
the hot weather sets in, spreads abun-
dainty and makes good food for both
cattle and horses. It is one of the new
leguminous crops that's quite success
fully employed in Ontario, Canada, but
after several years trial at the Massa-
chusetts station has been discarded be-
cause it blaghts and does not produce
as much fodder per acre as other
legumes more easily cultivated. The
seed is dropped about two inches dis
tant in rows two to two and half feet
apart.-New England Homestead.

Its people, according to the best au-
thorities, are descendants of the chm
dwellers, and the pyramidal form OF
their community houses was another
device to protect themselves from their
hereditary enemies, the Apaches, the
Navajoes and the Utes. A captain IN
der Coronado, who came up from
Mexico in search of the tabled seren
cities of Cibola, whose people ate ffom

This is the one occasion of the year
when Apaches, Utes and Navajoes are
permitted to pitch camp on the reser-
vation, and some of these wild tribes
are sure to be present to get share
of the good things given away. The
antipathy to the Mexicans is forgotten,
and Americans are priced as guests of
honor.
The subject races early learned the
Spanish language from their conquer
ors, and for 200 years or more it has
been the common tongue of south
western peoples speaking various Ian
guages. Even Americans in many
parts of the southwest are forced to
learn it in order to facilitate their af-
fairs. The work of the Catholic
Church and the tenacity of the Mexi-
cans have kept the Castillian promi-
nent even under American rule. The
pyramid dwellers, therefore, learn
Spanish for communication with the
outside world and retain their own

the darkness of sanitary error. The
feather is symbol of prayer with the
pyramid ,dwellers. They tie the downy
feather of an eagle to twig, stick it
in the ground in an out of the way

it is o prayer constantly going up to

The event of the year in the pagan
religion is the thanksgiving day of the
sun worshipers, The Christian priests
have inaugurated the day with SER
vice at the church and they have
stamped the fiesta with the name of
the Catholic saint selected by their
fprerunners as the patron saint OF the
community. The fiesta is therefore
known as st. Geronimo (St. Jerome)
Day, and the images from the Chris
tan church overlook the pagan per-
formances from bower. All but the
church service is survival of the
pagan era.

by miracle. When the matador drove
his sword into this bull he missed the
heart, and the point of the blade
emerged from the animals body sew
eral inches, just back of the foreleg.
Catcalls and shouts of derision greeted
the failure of the matador, but he re-
deemed himself. Deity he recovered
his sword, and at the next attempt
drove the blade in to the hilt, piercing
heart. The Mexican .bleachers love
blood and skill; they want no false
moves.
The greatess Mexican bull fighter is
Ponciano Dii,z, and he is the most
popular man i'll Mexico with the Masses
Some of the feats he performs arewon-
derful. He will stand in the centre of
the arena, sword in hand, and await
the approach of the bull. By deft
movement he places his feet between
the bulls horns, drives his blade into
the bulls heara and withdraws it so
quickly that there is not stain left on
the silk handkerchief he draws the
blade through. He is the personifica-
ton of all that is great to the people.
There were SIX bulls and eight horses
killed the afternoon the writer visited:
the Plaza de Toris, and his onlyregret
was that he did not see a bull fighter
gored.
If the troupes do notgiye good per-.
formance the referee imposes fine of
from 800 to $3.50, which goes to the
city treasury. The bulls are bred on,
purpose for the sport, and the original
stock came from Spain. The matadors
receive large salaries and q great deal
of homage. The, troupes ride from
their hotel to the bull ring in open car,
riages and are saluted all along the
route. A troupe of Spanish ullfight-
ers once came to Mexico and received
$3.50, ,000for eighteen exhibitions. Bull
fighting is scientific sport and not a
hit-and-miss game. 1t is also very
dangerous work. At Durango, on the
afternoon the writer saw the fight in
the City of Mexico, four performers lost
their lives, two of them being killed by
the same bull. At another fight tho
same day bull tossed a man thirty,
feet in the air, killing him instantly.
Such accidents IRE wildly cheered by
the crowd, and the bull gets credit for
taking the opportunity.-New York

Burring Two Thousand Years.

When the tomb Of Pallas, son of
Evander, was opened, in the twelfth
century, it is said lighted lamp,
which must have been burning two
thousand years, hung above his head.
In 1850 a marble sepulchre Of the
Roman period was discovered on an
island near Neples. On opening it
burning lamp was found, which is
thought to have been lighted before
the Christian era. About the same
time somewhat similar lamp was
found near Padua. st. Augustine men
tions lamp burning in the Temple of
Venus that could not be extinguished,
and Ludvivicus, another that had been
burning for 1850 years. 1t is be-
lieved that the perpetuity of these
lamps was owing to the consummate
tenacity of the unctuous matter with
which the flame was united, being SO
proportioned to the strength of the fire
that like the radial heat and natural
moisture in animals, neither of them
could conquer or destroy the other.

Too high temperature, especially
at night, is conducive to the rot, dis
ease, which SO often affects lettuce
when grown under glass. Thorough
ventilation and care in watering is the
remedy suggested in bulletin seventy
three of tbs Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station. Other diseases of let
tuce are leaf blight, leaf perforation
and downy mildew, and experience
at the station has demonstrated that
when lettuce is watered by subirriga-
ton it must be less liable to these dis
