line. Ie has published a book on
vegetable growing, which is meeting
with a generous sale. While horti-
culture is not under consideration,
the book is evidence that he is

But fow farmers accumulate "a
much manure as they desire. In
stead of spreading their manure over
too much land, it will be better to
use only onc-half of tho farm for
crops and grow green material on the
other half to be turned under. In this
manner it will not be many years
before every apre will double it's aver
age yield and the profits will be
larger because the expense will be
correspondingly reduced.

The Virtue OF Hot Water.

Hot water has far more medical
virtues than many believe or know.
Because it is 80 easily procured thou
sands think it is valueless. The
uses of hot water are, however,
many. For example, there is moth
ing that sc promptly outs short con-
gestion of the lungs, sore throat, or
rheumatism as hot water when ap-
piled promptly and thoroughly.
Headache most always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot wa
ter to the feet and back Of the neck.
A towel folded several times and
dipped in hot water, and quickly
wrung out and applied over the pain
full part in tootbache or neuralgia,
will generally afford pro npt relief.
A strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwisc and dipped in hot water
and wrung out and applied around the
neck of q child that has the Group will
sometimes bring relief in ten minutes.
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bed time is helpful in case of
constipation, while it has q most
soothing effect upon the stomach and
bowels. A goblet OF hot water taken
just after rising, before breakfast, has
cured thousands of indigestion, and
no simple remedy is more widely re-
commended by physicians to dys-
peptics. Very hot water will stop

The Live Stock Journal says with
much emphasis and with truth that
"the meat of all animals is affected
by the food they eat the ducks taste
fishy that live on fish beochnut ba-
con from pigs fed on bcechnut has
the fincst flavor, and hogs allowed
to feed on stinking, filthy slop and
on dead animals must produce meat
unfit for human feed. In the land
of abundant food we should feed

oGS lives will probably be lost. Many
will die, as it is, from hunger, ex-
posure and exhaustion.
"The water to-day is running
through the town of Brookshire,
something never known before. The
sixty-five lives reported lost here
to-day were in a radius of twenty
five miles north and south of Sealey.
Wo arc completely isolated at Sealey,
but this town is not in danger. We
cannot estimate the situation beyond
the limits mention. The whole
face Of the country here is sea.
"The channel of the Brazos river
has shifted about three miles, and
the water is fifteen miles wide. Logs,
lumber and railroad material, mer-
chandisc, live stock and other float
ing objects make it worth the life of
rescuers to 60 to the relief of the
endangered people, most of whom
arc negroes. The railroads are de-
stroyed for miles. An immense
washout occurred on the Santa Fe,
south of Sealoy, this morning. This
cuts off our last strand of railroad
communication. The Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe and the Southern
Pacific are also completely stoppsd.
The weather is cloudy this afternoon
and more rain is feared"
MORE RAIN, rood AND CLOTHING.
DALLAS, TEXAS, July 9.-Gov.
Sayers stated to-day that n addition
to money, clothing and provisions
are greatly needed in the flood dis
trict. He suggested that parties
contributing such articles commune
cate with him before shipments are
made in order that distribution may
be made. There are said to be from
$4,000 to 100000 persons needing
relief. About 100000 in money
and supplies have already been con-
tributcd.
Reports from Dennison, Paris,
Texarkana and other places on the
Red River state that heavy rains
have been falling there all to-day.
Water is rising, and it is feared that
flood in Red river may result. A
telegram received to-day from Juliff,
in Fort Bend county, says that 600
persons are in danger of drowning
av.that place.
A special from Caldwell SAYS:
Cotton buyers in the Brazos flood
district report that not less than 200
square miles of cotton bearing land
has been flooded. Every acre of it
would have produced big bale.
Basing the loss on five cents figures,
the crop destroyed on these planta-
tions was worth almost $4,00O,O00.
1t is claimed the flood has cost the
people of Texas little less than $10,-
600, 900. Thousands of mules have
been drowned, all of the domestic
animals have persisted, and rented
houses and negro quarters have been
swept away.
The gins arc nearly all ruined, and
hundreds of plantation stores, car
rying big stocks of general morchan-
disc, are under water. Not bridge
has escaped, and not a train has
passed over the Santa Fe railroad
between Brennan and Milano for
week.

The Difference.

Running a newspaper, says an ex-
change, is just like hotel, only it is
different. When a man gets into a
hotel and finds something on the
table he doesn't like, he doesn't kick
all the fat into the fire and tell the
landlord to "stop his old hoGeP he
just pushes that dish aside and wades
into some other brands and eatables.
But its different with some news
paper readers. They find an item
they do not like, and without stop
ping to think that it may please a
lot of other people, make grand
stand play and stop their paper
The paper doesn't stop, but that par
ticular gentleman'sc copy fails to reach
him next week, and he is sure to
sneak around and borrow his neigh
boris copy "just to see if the paper
is still published," you know. The
press still grinds on, however, and
new subscribers line up in the place
OF the dyspeptic, who stopped his
source Of. information because small
part of it didn't suit him.

Big Blaze LIN New York.

New YORK, March 1.-THE big five
story building at 354 Broadway was
almost destroyed at an early hour this
morning and adjoining buildings on
either side and the Jaffray building in
the rear were damaged. The fire broke
out at 1885 a. m. and within few
moments sparks and flames were belch-
ing forth from the three top floors. The
building at 354 was occupied by James
Elliott s. Co., dealers in linens and
bindings. the first, second and third
floors; A. j. Hague, the fourth floor,
and Bruno. dealer in musical instru-
ments, the fifth floor. All the engines
in the lower part of the city were called
out and at first it looked as though the
entire block would go. As it was, the
Elliott building was Quilted with almost
total loss to stock therein. The loss
is estimated at 5000, 900, which is said
to be covered by insurance.

Crown Prince Gustaf, who is acting as
regent of Sweden and Norway during
the absence Of King Oscar II. who is in

OF the regent is doubly significant. as
emphasizing the resentment provoked
in Norway by a recent saying by the
crown prince in meeting at Stock

the Swedes against the heaostrong Nor
