to Rank-Will Arrive at Brest About
 June 26.
 Paris, June 1.-The cabient council this morning decided that the French second class cruiser Sfax, now at Fort De France, Martinique should proceed immediately and bring Dreyfus from the Isle of Devils to France The cruiser Is expected to arrive at Brest about June 26, when Dreyfus will be handed to the military authorities and lodged In the military prison at Rennes His conviction having been annulled by the united chambers of the court of cas- sation, his military rank and title are restored to him. He will occupy an of- ticer's cabin on board the Sfax and will be allowed on deck from 1 to 4 o'clock every afternoon. The papers point out that the court of cessation voted unani- mously for revision and only debated the process whereby 1t should be car- ried out.
 The decision of the court was com- iHulllcateu to Mme. DreyruS at the house of M. Hadamard, her father. She immediately sent the following despatch to her husband: '"The court of cassa- tion proclaims revision with new trial by court martial. Our hearts and thoughts are with you. Let us share your. immense happiness. Tenderest kisses from all.'
 The Figaro says that throughout the aycongratulatoryt telegrams have been flowing in upon Mime. Dreyfus, M. Mathieu Dreyfus, and Maitre Mernard, their counsel.
 Lieutenant Colonel Picquart, on being informed of the courts decision said: "There Is nothing better to be hoped for" All the revisionist papers acclaim the decision as the triumph of truth, justice and law, and express the hope that all France and all right minded men will bow before the decree. They appeal for reconciliation and clamness. The anti-revsionist papers consider tho duty of all to submit, in order to re- store peace to- the country. A few of them affect to Await with confidence the verdict of the new court martial, implying that this will be another con damnation."

TESTING ToBAcCo.-The testing OF
tobacco is fine art, which reaches its
finest in Cuba. The Cuban's first test
is by the smell. He can detect the
slightest variation in order, and in
stantly rejects the tobacco as not be-
longing to the best grade. Then he
takes the leaf, rolls rude-looking ci-
gar out of it, and lights it. He gives
one or two puffs, and then inhales the
smoke. Thus he determines the flavor
very accurately. Next he watches the
way the cigar burns, and finally tests
the ashes. If the cigar will not hold
its fire four minutes-the best qualities
of all should 60 until five minutes
the tobacco is not of the best. The
tobacco should also hold its ashes
until the cigar is burnt nearly to the
middle.

THE HEIGHT OF CLoUDs.-The
very highest clouds, those called cir
rus and cirrostratus, rise to the aver
age height of from 10000 to $4,000
feet above the earth, while the lower
clouds usually float at height sell
dom exceeding 5000 feet. In the case
of the last mentioned class of clouds
the lower surface may be at height
not exceeding 5000 to 1000 feet,
while their towering summit will be
removed from the earth by not less
than 10000 feet. Prof. Moller says
that the vertical dimensions of cloud
will often exceed 10000 feet, and that
he has observed those which he had
every reason to believe were not less
than 5000 feet thick.

pg A funny story is told of one Of
the June weddings. The young cou-
pie were from somewhat humble walk
in life, but were beaming with happi-
ness. At the conclusion of the cere-
mony there was a pause of some
length. The bride looked at the
groom, and he gazed at her with a
happy but somewhat vague express
sion of confidence. At last the bride
stepped forward in a hesitating man.
ner, and, dropping and elaborate cour-
tesy, said: "We-we are-very much
obliged to you, sir, and We hope that
at some time we shall be able to retail
late" Her husband looked at her
with undisguised pride in her ability
to cope with word of such elegance,
and the minister bowed the couple
out of the parsonage with as grave a
face as he could call up.

OATS FOR HORSES.

Experience has proven that as a
grain food for horses few feeds are
equal or superior to oats. Many farm
ers and teamsters, however, by ex-
perimenting, have decided upon a COM
bination of feeds that, in their judg-
men, makes ration superior to any
thing else obtainable. Some use a
mixture of ground corn and wheat
bran. Others feed the corn soaked with
sprinkling of chopped stuff, while
others get more value from cut hay
dampened and sprinkled with ground
feed. For those who are satisfied with
a standard food and one that careless
teamsters and stable men will not be
liable to injure horses with by over
feeding, oats will prove more satisfac-
tory. When American corn is worth
less than a cent a pound, and oats sell
for over a cent and quarter per
pound the feeding value is no doubt
in favor of corn, but corn being very
heating, great care must needs be ex-
ercised in dealing it out. In fact,
some horses are made sick by few
rations of corn. Constant feeding for
two or three months deranges the sys'
tenn, requiring a complete change Of
diet, and often necessitates the calling
in of veterinary surgeon. The thick
hull covering the oat kernel prevents
fast eating, consequently more saliva
is formed, which aids digestion, yet
some horses eat so voraciously that
many of the kernels are swallowed
whole. When this fact is discovered
either have the grain ground and fed
dry, or place several stones two inches
in diameter in the feed box. These
will prevent the grabbing of a full
mothful of grain at once, and thus
cause twice the time to be spent in
eating a given quantity.-American
Agriculturist.

How ORANGES WERE INTRODUCED

How ORANGES WERE INTRODUCED
Hindustan had a monopoly on oranges
till this fruit spread to the other parts
of the world. The crusaders brought
back oranges, but the ancients round
the Mediterranean were so unhappy as
to die without having tasted this deli
cious fruit. We are all eating the de-
scendants of one tree. They declare
the progenitor of all American and
European oranges was single oriental
tree transplanted to Lisbon and still
living in the last generation.

HOG CHoLERA.-So far as we know
there is no infallible remedy for hog
cholera, though many have laid claim
to the discovery of such. Keeping
hogs healthy with varied diet and good
water, and having salt, copperas and
charcoal always within their reach,
are the best preventatives we have to
offer. 1t is contagious disease which
has long been known, but rendered
more common of late by the importa,
ton of swine from the north, which
bring and communicate the disease to
the natives. Whenever a hog has the
cholera badly he might as we'll be kill
ed at once, and an effort be made to
prevent the spread of the disease by
burning up him and his excreta and
everything connected with him.

PURE AIR FOR SLEEPERS.

The result of fresh air in the sleep.
ing room will be felt in the various
subtle ways-in gutter nerves, greater
amiability, brighter eyes and clearer
mind and complexion. And though
the subject is often discussed, it is
worthy of attention when we realize
it's benefits, says writer in The Chris
tian Work.
There are several points to consider
when ventilating sleeping apartments
First, it is important that the air
should be pure, and the value of fresh
air recognized. Then the physical
condition of the sleeper should be
thought of. The same amount of out.
side air and the same temperature can,
not be endured alike by every one. 1t
sometimes happens that the admission
of fresh air during the night renders
the sleeper uncomfortably cold
When this is the case, the object of the
open window or fresh air current is de-
feated.
A window raised a very little at top
and bottom is better than wide space
A transom opening upon ventilated
room is excellent for delicate people
who cannot bear a direct current in
room.
Study comfort. 1t is well-known
truth that animals must be warmly
housed at night in order to thrive in
cold weather. The fact is none the
less true of human beings. Thought
that is, intelligent thought-should be
exercised.
No fixed rule for ventilating at night
can be followed on all occasions. Bet
ter no outside ventilation than exces
sive cold where misery attends
Warmth and fresh air combined is the
end sought. 1t pays to study this
problem when we remember that fully
one-third of our life is spent in the
sleeping room. :,
AS one lady says: "Sleep is so much
deeper and more perfect when there is
plenty of fresh air in the room at
night" The clothing worn during the
day may always be placed at night
where fresh air will find it; and the
same with that worn at nigh. During
the day fresh air will thoroughly per-
meate it. If the rule of fresh air for
the clothing as we'll as for the room is
followed, there will be even greater
gain in the important matter of quieter
nerves and brighter faces.

TUNING INsTRUMENTS.-It has often
puzzled the uninitiated to give rea'
son why musicians tune their instru'
ments in public and not before they
enter the orchestra. If they tuned
their instruments before entering the
theater or concert room the tempra-
ture is very apt to be different in the
place of performance, and therefore
the instruments would not be in tune.
A piano that is in tune in a cold room
would get out of tune If the room were
suddenly heated.
