A Mexican Catacornb.

The largest catacomb of the new

perched upon O mountain ridge over
looking narrow, sterile valley, in
which is located the city. containing o
living population of $4,000.
The high, thick, adobe walls OF the
cemetery contain receptacles for the
|.eohined dead. When rent for these
receptacles is unpaid the bodies are
removed to the catacomb, uncoffined
and piled with more ancient bones and
dust. The catacomb is blasted out of
the rocky soil, with q level floor
twenty feet under ground. 1t is n
roomy corridor, with vents for sun
light and air through the arched roof
of rock. The bones OF the unnamed
md unnumbered dead are piled COM

The Locality of Discaso.

In an interesting article on the
areas of disease the London Saturday
Review remarks upon the consensus
of medical opinion that diseases in
general have their local habitations-
some, like tropical animals and plants,
living only in the tropics; some, like
consumption, gradually spreading
over the whole earth, while others,
like leprosy and smallpox, are by de-
grces becoming limited in their dis
tribution, possibly tending, it may be,
toward extinction. On the other
hand, however, there are regions to
which diseases have never reached,
for instance, on the SUBMITS of high
mountain ranges and in the circum-
polar snowfelds OF the earth and air
and water are as barren of the mi
crobes of disease rs they ore OF animal
life. The writer in the Review ad-
mits that in country like Britain,
thickly populated for many centuries,
and with the freest circulation of popu-
lation, it cannot be doubted that every
ward of surface contains the germs of
the more common diseases, and the
native of some newer land, brought
over to Britain's shores, falls victim
to its plague stricken soil; but by gem
erations of a destructive elimination
Britons have become highly restraint
to their native diseases-yet not fully
so, for cancer and consumption, two OF
the most common scourges, still hold
powerful sway.

Danger In Tin Cans.

ulous-let it stand for some time, and
the fruit acids and the tin are ready to
do their work of poisoning. A chemi:-
cal knowledge that tells just how the
dangerous compound is. created is un-
necessary to an avoidance Of the peril.
The rule to follow Is never to make
lemonade or other acidulated drinks in
a tin bucket, nor allow them to etand
in a vessel Of tin; and in the case OF
canned fruits or fish, Immediately upon
opening the can, turn the contents ou-
upon an earthenware plate, or into a
dish that is made Of earthenware or
glass;
Fruits in Theoretically sealed cans, II
properly prepared, generate no poison
AS soon as opened the action Of the
acid in the tin, with the aid Of the at
mosphere, begins, and in a short tins
the result is a deadly poison. This
brief treatment Of the question should
be remembered by everyone and its in.
structions followed. The general press
also should aid in disseminating this
simple knowledge. Popular Science

slender Feet"

Under this heading recent article
In a contemporary recommends not to
hathe the feet in warm water, as 1t
only softens the skin, rendering the
condition worse. He recommends cool
water, with soap and dusting the feet
with a powder containing salicylic
acid. This is very good where there
is odor attending the perspiration, but
1 think, says DR.. Brodnax, from cases
In my own practice, that better results
will attend in the following: Let the
feet at night be immersed in meder-
ately cool water iof Ten minutes, dry
them and place the bottom of the feet
In a shallow, flat-bottomed vessel,
with about a quarter of an inch in
depth OF whisky, say one ounce, tam
min, four drachms, or strong oak bark
ooze and whiskey,, equal parts; let re-
main for ten minutes and let dry on
the feet; draw on sock to prevent
soiling the bedding. 6oralide is fine
thing to use to ease the tired, uncom-
Portable feeling Of the feet. In two
cases I used permanganate of potas-
SUM, thirty grains, water, one pint,
letting the bottoms Of the feet remain
in the solution for ten minutes, and
dry without wiping. The advantage
Of either process is that 1t hardens the
tissues and removes the pain.

Intensive Farming.

II farmers who delight in owning
and working large areas could see the
crops taken from small plots by the
truckers near New York City, they
would receive an object lesson in in
tensivo Turning which would be ef-
fectual. On Long Island and in New
Jersey especially, there are dozens Of
patches, not farms, which, with the
aid of few hotbeds, are made to pay
high rents and support large families.
The soil is kept to the highest point
OF fertility, every inch of it is
thoroughly cultivated and every advan-
tage is taken of the lay of the land.
From the first day that the weather
will permit the soil being worked un-
til the ground is finally used for celery
blanching, it is constantly employed
in crop production; it is no unusual
sight to see half dozen men indus
triously at work on an aero or two of
ground. 1t is the same principle the
florist applies to plant and flower
growing. If his benches yield but one
crop of plants or blossoms during the
year, his business is failure. Every
square foot of it must yield two or
more crops for profitable years work.

Feed For Breeding Ewes.

Breeding ewes have not only Ito
keep up their own animal heat and
energy and provide for the growing
feet us within them, but they have also
to make growth of wool on their own
bodies. That they do not always get
enough of tho right kind Of food for
all these purposes is shown by the
fact that the wool from ewes is less
valuable than that from an equal
weight of wool from wethers or ewes
that are not bred. Possibly some
weakness of the fiber is inevitable in
that which is produced while ewes are
dropping their young, when there is
naturally more or less fever. But the
wool may be made much better if the
ewes are given succulent food to keep
their digestion good and bran mashes,
which are just what are needed, not
only for making the wool, but also to
produce thrifty and vigorous lamb,
which is also born with more or less
woody covering when its dam must
furnish from the food given her.

Use of Humus-Forning Material

The claim of Southern farmers that
clover, cow.peas, weeds and other
green manurial plants turned under
dry, rather than green, give better re-
suits, is we'll founded.
Green manuring has been practised
for centuries in Europe and for some
years in our Northern States, and
valuable results have accrued from
such course. But for the last few
years farmers aud scientific men have
differed upon the plans of turning
under these green crops.
Our best Southern farmers are al
most unanimous in preferring to turn
under the crops when dry than when
green. Necessity may have ut first
brought about the plan of turning
under the crops after they had become
matured or dry, and this necessity
may have been the means of demon
strnting that it was more profitable SC
to do.
The mysteries of Natures labora.
tory stored in the soil are hard to un-
derstand in plant life. The same soil
will produce a root that is nutritious
aud healthful to man and beast, and
at the same time one that is poisonous
to both. You may graft sour apple
on sweet stock, and the same tree
will produce both sweet and sour ap-
piles. So it is with the changes that
take place in the soil in turning under
green and dry substances.
The advocates of turning under our
crops when dry claim that the fermen-
tation that takes place when green
crops are turned under is different
from that of the dry substances; that
the green crops sour the land, and un-
less lime is used it is an injury and
not benefit to some.
Then the crops are green in August,
and they claim that lands turned up
and exposed to the hot sun are in
jured. This is true, as a cotton crop
which requires late ploughing and
close culture is more injurious to our
lands than q corn crop. Some of our
best farmers report an actual injury in
yield of crops where COW peas were
turned under green in August.
But all agree that peas sown in land
and turned under late in the fall, when
dry, Go benefit the lands.-B. D.

HOW BIG GUNS ARE FIRED.
A Thousand-Pound Shot Hurled Fiv
Miles With Precision.


A Thousand-Pound Shot Hurled Five
Miles With Precision.
The writer once witnessed at close
quarters a .arget practice of the two
twelve-inch rifles mounted ut Sandy
Hook, and brief description OF how
the mighty guns work and the
'sscores" that can be made with
them may be of interest just now.
Tho guns are mounted on elevators,
and are loaded at the breech when
sunk in shaft, where the gunners
work in perfect safety. While they
are ebelng loaded two observers, at
some distance and in different direc-
tions from the guns, are finding
the target, as it is called.
That this work may be done speed
lily and accurately, engineers have de-
voted many months of precise work.
The result of this is that the two
observers have before them charts CO.
related with each point of observation,
guns and the field within which is the
target. The observers have instant
communication with each other and
with the gunners by three means,
which need not be mentioned. The
'"target" being determined upon-say
one of feet of hostile ships-it is
''found' by the two observers. Each
learns from his observation the direc-
ton of the target. Observer A takes
his own and observer BIS observation
and extends two lines on his chart,
which give him the exact location OF
the target, which is where the two
extended lines meet; and this also de-
ternlines, so elaborately has the pre-
charting been done, the exact direc-
ton and distance of the target from
the guns. This information is COM
municated to tho gunners. They
know-for these clements have also
been accurately determined-how
much the rifle must be elevated, with
given charge and prciectile, to carry
the required distance.
This sounds complicated, but it is
as easy us it is for bank clerk to de-
termine complicated problem in in
terest by turning to printed compi-
lation, table.
But the result: Having the infor-
nation given to him by the observers,
the gunner raises the big cannon on
it's elevator platform, it is directed
and elevated by simple machinery, the
lanyard is pulled a thousand pounds
of steel hurtles through the air, and
the cannon is sunk i'll the shaft for an
other charge.
In the practice witnessed by the
writer the target was five miles dis
tant, and so small it could not be dis
tinguished from the ocean whitc-caps
by those who stood by the guns. But
not shot was fired which would not
have struck ship located where the
target was.-New York World.

and sixties emeralds were the favorite
Jewels, and were worn strung on n
thread like pearls. Now emeralds are
no longer polished into round form,
but are polished like diamonds. Fault
less stones of deep color have always
been as valuable as diamonds. The
reason of the scarcity of emeralds is
the decrease in production in the Ural

and in the first years the harvest was
