Scrap iron commands relatively
higher price than borings and turn
ings, for foundries fitted up to use
pig iron can very conveniently make
use of large pieces of scrap iron for
melting, and thus its market is less
restricted. Borings and turnings
labor under another disadvantage.
however, for, in comparison with the
larger pieces of waste iron, the former
are impure. Stored on the floor I'M
der the machines they are exposed to
the accumulation of dust from the
floor, dirty waste used by the work
men to wipe oil from their hands,
tools carelessly thrown down and for
gotten in the rush of work, rubbish Of
every sort, and brass or lead filings
from the finishing departments. This
accumulation of impurity entails loss
in iron of from ten to twenty per cent
in weight to the purchaser, hence their
lower price.
There are a round dozen of large
scrap iron dealers in New York, who
employ from ten to twelve workmen
and drivers each, and in addition to
these many smaller fry who, with
their own horse and truck, and per-
haps poorly paid helper, keep soul
and body together, and sometimes
make enough to feed their horses, by
buying in the cheapest and selling in
the dearest markets the small lots of
borings and scrap iron they are able
to haul. New York Times.

Cows That Wear Goggles,

The poet who won q feeting fame
by the announcement that he "never
saw purple COW and never hoped to
see one," probably thought his fancy
had reached the limit of the grotesque.
Specialized cows is an idea which
would probably have utterly overcome
him. Yet spectacled cows exist"
They are the gentle kline of the
Russian steppes. The steppes are
covered with snow for six months in
the year, and the cows Craze Oh tufts
of grass that crop above the snow
The effect of the suns rays falling
upon the glittering white waste on the
eyes of the cattle was, of course, blind
ing until it occurred to cattle owner
to put smoked glasses on his herds.
Over 40, 900 COWS now wear the goggles.

Begonias of all kinds grow best in a
soil that is quite rich, somewhat sandy
and porous. A soil that is heavy,
soggy and apt to become sour cannot
be used with good results. The mat
ter of drainage is also an item in the
culture of begonias not to be over
looked. In potting the plants pro-
vide ample drainage by placing broken
pottery, cinders or some such matter
in the bottom of the pots.
Flowering begonias can be bedded
out in the summer with success, if
plenty of water is given and fairly
sunny, warm location selected for the
bed. Those of the Rex type will do
best if plunged in partially shaded
location. Both classes should be
protected from hot, drying winds, and
should never be allowed to suffer for
want of water.-Woman's Home Com
panion.

Lieutenant Colonel Maus, U. S. A.,
who has had charge of the physical
examination of the twelve thousand
New York militiamen mustered into
the service of the United States, has
made a very interesting report upon
the subject Of this inquiry. He finds
that it was necessary to examine
seventeen thousand soldiers in order
to obtain twelve thousand up to the
required physical standard, which was
placed very high; some think too
high. OF this number the three up
country regiments were far superior
to the city troops in physical develop
ment, logical result of the tonic of
pure air and out of door employment
and recreation. OF the city soldiers
Colonel Maus found the cavalry supe-
rior to the infantry-clearly a tribute
to the value of exercise on horseback.
Among the infantry the chief causes
of rejection were a tendency to hollow
chests and impaired vision, unmistak-
able evidence of long days at desk
work and poring over ledgers. Poor
feet was another frequent defect, and
deafness was not uncommon.

CESSATION in Summer.

All the domestic animals vary from
one to two weeks in the time they bear
their young. If the latter part of ges-
tation is IN warm weather, and when
there is plenty of succulent feed, the
parturition usually occurs little
sooner than it is expected If during
cold, freezing weather the reverse is
the case. 1t is probable that the more
succulent food obtainable during warm
weather has something to do with it,
by keeping the bowels open and the
general system relaxed. ed.-American

One of the London papers sees a
"romance of commerce" in the re-
cent death of one Henry Greenwood,
an inmate of the workhouse infrmary
at Hampstead. 1t seems that Green
wood was once a rich man, and be-
longed to a firm of jewellers so emf
nent that it supplied the pearls worn
by Queen Victoria at her coronation
At that time, indeed, he and his part
ners were the leading dealers in
pearls, not only as regards England, 4,
but in the whole world. Greenwood,
after his most famous transaction, led
a rather adventurous life, part of it
in Australia, where he was Mayor OF
Ballarat. He accumulated a fairly
considerable fortune, which, however
he lost in various reverses, until to-
ward the close of his life he was in
state Of abject poverty. His death
took place in the workhouse from
cancer when he was about eighty years
of age. Curiously enough two of the
members Of the Hampstead Board of
Guardians when Mr.. Greenwood en-
tered the workhouse were old school
mates Of his, and one Of them met the
expenses of the funeral in order that
he should not lie in pauper's grave,
and was himself the only mourner
following the coffin.

The sewage farm at Acheres, France,
