Hot Water I'm Diaeaae

Hot water is n of the most valua-
bic Of household remedies. Whether
In the bath, the water bottle, the rub
Der bag, or in the form of a beverage,
1t has healing powers that have never
been imagined, much less appreciated,
by the majority of persons. Hot baths
will cure many Of the ills that flesh is
heir to; hot foot baths and a hot-water
bag at the back of the neck will re-
lieve almost any ordinary headache.
Hot water, taken as a morning drink,
will almost certainly cure dyspepsia
and sluggishness of the liver. One n.y.
gienic enthusiast declares that the rea-
son so little is said by physicians
about the use Of hot water is that they
would be deprived of so many patients,
for it will cure more cases of indiges-
ton than all the pills that they can
prescribe. There seems to be but little
literature on this subject, but opinions
differ SO widely as to their special
methods that it is scarcely allowable
to commend any particular one above
another. Any bookseller or newspa-
per dealer will furnish you with a list
of the leading books on water-cure, and
you a write and get the contents of
any n that pleases you. But most of
them advocate cold water instead of
hot, and this is by no mean what is
wanted.-New York Ledger.

The season has arrived when the
weanling colts should be especially
cared for and not be exposed to the
cold rains and sleets Of early winter.
The foundation laid in the constitution
Of the colt determines the usefulness
and value of the horse. There is too
much carelessness among the breeders
In their attention to the comfort Of the
growing colts. If they are exposed to
the cold rains and sleets they are LA
Bile to contract the distemper and lose
their growth during the winter. and
the profit in horse-raising, as in cattle
raising, is largely determined by early
maturity. and this cannot be accom-
plished without liberal feeding and
reasonable protection from the incle IL
ency Of the weather. The colt should
be taught to eat grain while following
Its dam, and be given a generous IA
ton during the first winter, in order to
Insure permanent growth.

Cat Restores n Diamond.

This city can boast of many wonder
full things, but one of the most wonder
full and inconceivable stories reached
the ear of a reporter to-day. The au-
thor of the story is a dlrc t descendant
of George Washington and his yeraci-
ty is beyond question. A few days
ago his daughter lost a valuable dia-
mond earring. When the loss was an
nounced the entire family and even the
nelghbors secured the grounds about
n house and ever the streets, for
blocks beyond; but the search proved
a fruitless one, and the earring had
seemingly disappeared forever.
The family wherein the loss occurred
are the posscssors of a large and hand
some tabby cat. The animal is a great
pet of the family, and it has the run of
the entire house. One of it's habits is
to crawl into bed with the children at
early morning. Yesterday morning
pussy, as was her usual wont, came to
the childrens' chamber on her morning
rounds, but h seemed to be in great
distress. At times she would try to
dislodge from her throat something
that troubled her. Suddenly she gave
a convulsive gasp, and from her
mouth dropped the diamond earring.
When the discovery was heralded
throughout the house, pussy was the
heroine of the hour.-Derby Tran,
script.

WHERE IT is HOT,
High Temperature in the Depths OF
Office Building Easements.

High Temperature I'm the Depths of
Office Building Easements.
Say, if you people think this is hot
you ought to have my job for about q
week and then see what you'd have to
say" said q tall, thin ia to a group
of perspiring unfortunates who stood
on one of the down town corners n
afternoon during the recent hot spell.
"Why, what do you do?" came the
feeble query from n of the swelter-
ing ones, almost too overcome to be
curious.
"1m an oiler in the engine room of
that big building. And say, this air
out here is a picnic to what WI get
down there. If you fellows think 80
in the shade it hot or this 100 per cent
humidity business is hard to stand, you
want to come down where we work
eight hours a day with the thermome-
ter making all the time from no to
120 degrees and see what it feels like"
But he never got any farther, for at
the bare mention of 10 degrees the
group melted away like the mist before
the rising sun, several members being
seen a few moments lateY holding
themselves up in front Of a soda water
fountain with their eyes turned heaven
ward.
A newspaper man who happened
along just in time to catch the closing
| remarks of the oiler became Interested
and followed the man across the street
to his place of work. 1t was one OF
those gigantic structures which have
reared themselves all through the
down town district in the last few
years. The building ran up to a height
of fifteen or sixteen stories. Six ele-
| vators carried the traffic up and down
throughout the day, two of which
made nc stop below the eleventh floor.
In the building were BARRIERS shops,
lunch rooms, telegraph and telephone
| stations and all other forms Of luxuries
SO necessary to the business man OF
the present day. The superintendent
of the building was found In an amia-
BILE mood, which permitted him to re-
lax his face into a broad smile as the
subject Of the heat in the engine room
was mentioned.
"Well," said he, "Ill confess it's a
pretty hot place to work In, but the
men get used to 1t and l never hear a
kick from them. Most of the men
have worked in the marine service and
they take to the work like a duck to
the water. In fact, if the truth were
known, they look upon this work in
the lower regions of an office building
as the softest kind of a snap. l prefer
them to the ordinary run Of this kind
of help. They are by far more con-
tented and satisfied with their work.
Then, again, they are more active in
performing their duties than men who
have been used to working on h land
all their lives. These men have been
brought up in a school where, when it
came time to work, it meant hustle or
bust."-New York Tribune.

The newest figures show a tendency
toward detached figures rather than
the mixed and shot effects paramount
last season; a charming effect is shown
in a mGonlight-blue tnffeta with a sill
very, sheeny surface; over it was
strcwn detached peoples in dark slate
blue; two-toned weaves, with the pat
tern thrown up in q color two or three
shades darker, are much liked; grays,
p~ale-broWnS and green's are among the
most fashionable shades; there are,
however, q number of novelties in
these dark shades which distinguish
them from those of last season. The
fax tints of the batistes are reproduced
in the new wool goods; putty color is
a favorite shade; it blends well with
all other colors.
The coral pattern is a favorite one
this season, both on wool and silk fab
RIGS; in two tones or two contrasting
tnlors It is extremely effective.
Stripts dots and bright hued plaids
are among the new fabrics of the sea
son; Ii latest weaves are composed of
many gay colors, but are so deity
woven as to be not too striking; plaids
will, however, be little used alone, but
in conjunction with ONE dark color.
Crinkly weaves are net in as great de-
mand as plaiIi-surfaccd goods, and Gre
pons will be but scantily used! Wig
oreux, a smart diagonal weave, Is good
second choice; the wool armureS, tri-
cotines and unobtrusively patterned
goods are much iik ed, and are in bet
ter taste than the rather gaudy tint
ings of those SO long in vogue.

ORIGIN OF THE BOERS.

4 Peculiar Mixture of HOIIandePo
and French HuguenOts.
1t Is extremely interesting at the
present moment to inquire as to who
lnd what the Beers really are, and
whence comes this heroic and stub
born defense of their rights which has
exalted these South African agricult-
wrists in the eyes of the world. After
the revocation of the edict of Nantes
by Louis XIV, numbers Of Huguenots
in 1858 left France and settled in
Cape Colony under the Dutch, who
then had possession of it. which gov
eminent at that time denied the very
privileges to the Huguenots that their
descendants and those of the Dutch
have until recently denied the johann
hesburgers which has led to this I'M
fortunate revolt against the govern
ment of the Transvaal, as In the eight
ecnth century it led to the French eX-
odus from Cape Colony.
Two centuries ago, when the Hugue-
nots in Cape Colony presented a petit
ton to tie governor for electoral
rights, Van der Stell was enraged, and
dismissed them with a severe repri-
mand, Ito restrain their French imper-
Thence" which had a parallel in Pre-
toria lately, when some reasonable ap-
peal for representation by the Uit-
lander was received with jeers" by

1t is STEPPED With Dye Which Pois-
Ons Microbes.
A scientist some time ago discovered
that the street car strap was a serious
dissemination Of disease, as the leather
collected and held all kinds of disease
germs.
A sanitary strap is being tried ON a
New York car, the invention of a man
named Clark. 1t consists Of a hemp
cord dyed red with aniline, at the bot
tom of which is wooden handle, also
dyed red. This dye is supposed to
make the pernicious and active germs
sick, and while thus rendered unfit for
dury they will fall from the cord and
be trampled to death on the car floor.
The handle at the bottom of the cord
offers a better hold for the hand than
does the old straps, and it is claimed
that a man can hang to one from the
Battery to Harlem without expert
encing more than 40 per cent of the
fatigue that results from being sus-
pended from the strap, which does not
accommodate itself to the shape of the
hand. But the principal advantage
in the effect the new hangers
have no Observation-Disclosures Rec

Electric Stair Climber.

Most modern houses Of several stories
are now equipped with elevators, for
which electricity is coming into vogue
as being cleaner and more convenient
than hydraulic equipments. But in
smaller houses, of two or three stories,
there is often no provision for the car
rying Of the inmates up and down
stairs. The ascent of stairs in such
cases may be a serious strain on the
strength of invalids and aged persons,
and it is surprising that before now nc
efficient means of meetin this difficulty
has been presented in a practical
shape. The electric stair-climber seems
to meet the case in a satisfactory way.
1t consists of a car running on two
rails, liked at the top and bottom Of
the balustrade of the stairs, and a box
upon which the person stands. The
car is actuated by an electric wind
lass through a steel cable, guided by
rollers. 1t has the advantage of occu-
plying in width only about twelve
inches Of the steps of the staircase.
The person using the climber controls
all its movements, while standing or
the box, through the shifting of a lever
under his hand around which are
marked the words up" "Stop,"
Down." Buttons up stairs and down
enable the apparatus to be brought to
any point where it may be required, so
that a person on the top of the house
can, without assistance, cause the car
to ascend and take him down. The
car stops automatically at each floor,
and Onlv ST rtS again on tha moving of
the lever, or, if empty, the pressing of
a button on another floor. The motion
Of the car is perfectly smooth and
gliding, and there is no chance of shock
from the current.

Oil Meal.

Some caution should be exercised in
feeding linseed meal to horses when
engaged in active work, lest the bowels
become unduly lax. The oil meal
should not compose more, perhaps,
than n part in twenty of the whole
grain ration fed. To colts, however, it
should be fed more freely. In the sea-
son they car protitably use from one
fourth to one-half pound per day. 1t
develops in them muscle and bone, so
helpful to their future usefulness, and
1t gives to their coats a glossy skin,
which indicates a healthy condition of
the digestive organs. The hair and
coat Of cattle are also similarly inn
proved when oil meal is fed.-Farm,

SOWING spring whent in thc r.u

Sowing Spring Wheat In the Fall,
TO deter nine the practicability of
sowing spring wheat in fall, and also,
the time to SOW for best results, fifteen
sowings of a variety known as Yellow
stone Fife were made at different in
tervals during the fall of 1894 by the
Montana Experiment station at Boze-
mai. Beginning Aug. 8, a small plat
was sown each week until the ground
was frozen and winter began, Nov. 10.
Early seedlings made a nice growth and
were in good condition when winter set
in, but later sowings were just coming
Uf'. Early paintings almost wholly
killed out, and the intermediate only
partially, and the latest showed no
damage from the winter-killing, the
stand being almost perfect. The p1ats
were irrigated twice and kept free
from weeds. The first six plats sown.
from Aug. 8 to Sept. IA, gave an aver
age yield Of 3.3 bushels per acre. The
next five plats, seeded from Sept. 81
to Oct. 10, yielded an average of 1877
bushels per acre The average yield OF
the four plats, sown from Oct. o6 to
Nov. ID. was at the rate of $50 bushels
per acre.
