A Weed Destroyer.

Once more beneficial use has been
found for electricity. It is Che de-
struction of weeds. The Illinois Cen
tral Railroad is the first to employ it
for that purpose, in order to keep
down the weeds along its lines of rail
road. Not only has electricity been
found serviceablc for weed destruc-
ton, but the cost is much less than
when done by hand labor. Itcost the
company in the past about $40 per
mile to destroy weeds. With cleo
tricity, five miles of weeds can be
killed in an hour at small expense.
A brush, heavily charged with eiec-
tricity, runs along about eight inches
above the ground. and every weed
with which it comes in contact, how
ever big and strong, is Immediately
killed, and turns black as if frozen,

Aim for the Top.

As long as the highest prices are
paid for the best, the most enter
prising farmers will spare neither
pains nor expense to produce the best,
and if their ncighbors do not exert
themselves to keep up, they will find
themselves in the background. Our
farmers must keep abreast Of the
times. They must think; they must
read; they must study; they must cx-
pertinent, they must exert their minds
to the fullest extent to drag out from
mother earth her secrets of fertility.
Let them do it and she will reward
them with fertile fields and good crops
in abundance, and they will enjoy the
richest blessings OF the most satisfy
ing and noblest occupation on earth.
The wide-awake farmer, who has
studied up agriculture can always live
as good as any other professional man,
very often much better. For pure
and fresh fruits, vegetables, butter,
eggs and meat there is no one to COM
pete with the farmer. = Practical

Tuste and Smell

Physsologlsts have long known that
many sensations ordinarily ascribed to
taste arc in reality due to smell, but this
fact has lately been made clearer than
before by the investigations-of German
savantss Air enters the olfactory cham
Der, where the nerves corrected with
the sense of smell are centered, both
through the nostrils and through an IN
let leading from the mouth. In conse-
quence, breath of perfumed air mani
tests its odor not only when it is
breathed in, but when it is breathed out.
For this reason we are sometimes de-
ceived as to the source OF the pleasure
we derive frow things taken into the
mouth, the agreeableness Of the impress
sion being due, in some cases, rather 70
smell than to taate.-Youth's Conn
panion.

New aud Green Instruments Made to Re-

Experts in the old violin industry
tell how very young and green instru-
ments can be made to look like products
of the, skill of old Stradivarius at a
very moderate expense.
It seems that by means of little
vanishing, staining and scraping. and
by pasting on an old label, worth about
one-half cent, that any kind of an old
violin may be converted into a ''genn-
inc Strad' of almost priceless value.
Every effort is being made to prove
that the violin, of the theft of which Mr..
Flechter is accused by Mrs. Bott, was
such an instrument.
Oscar Schildbach, who works for Mr..
Flechter, said that the violin in dis
pute was turned over to him to he prop
erly "antiqued." The violin "antiquer"
testified that be took the violin, a
French instrument, made by Nicola,
and, under the direction of Mr.. Flechter,
stained over the name of the maker
and pasted on the place an imitation of
an old-time yellow label, which read:
"Antonius Stradivarius, Fecit, A. d.
1926" He also did little scraping and
treated it with some good "autique"
yarnish.

The Ir-shtasunda, or Thunder gems,
do not touch reptiles, toals or beetles.
Some years ago the vegetable garden
of the Omaha mission was visited by
the potato bug. The good missionaries
in charge engaged the children in the
work of determination by offering a
bounty of five cents a quart, solid meas
ure, .ior defnnct bugs. AS the extinc-
ton OF the species became imminent,
solnc of the young wits adulterated
their bugs by the addition of spurious
beetles. About this time one of the
little girls became suddenly covered
with sores. Her parents, hearing of it,
came in CONSERVATION to the mission.
She belonged to the Thunder gems, and
the child's bug income ceased at once.
She had unwittingly been carrying on
traffic in her rtaboc!-Alice c. Fletcher,
