IN THE REALM OF SCIENCE.

Some of the cliff dwellings recently
explored in Arizona by scientists pos
sess indications that they were occupied
by human beings thousands of years
before the discovery of America by
Columbus.
The richest milk is that which comes
near the close of the milking. A test

pint contained 1896 per cent.
An American chemist has discovered
by an accident that nearly cost his life
that liquid air has the property OF
transforming red phosph orus into one
of the most explosive substances in en-
istence. 1t will probably take the place
of cordite and other new explosives.
1t is asserted that liqud air has &C
times the explosive force of dynamite
During experiments at Vienna, in the
firing of cannon, the liquid air was ex
ploded by an electric spark, and the re
suits were extremely satisfactory. Nc
heat was developed in the guns, and the
range of the projectiles was much in
creased.

TO KILL TREE STUMPS.
Destruction by Means of Salt Is the
Most Effective and Cheapest
- Method Yet Discovered.

Here is something worth knowing. In
many cases it is a long and tedious
process to finally kill outright the
stumps and roots of trees that it is de-
sirable to destroy. A correspondent of
the Country Gentleman tells how to
promptly get rid of these undesirable
trees:
"For the last IS years have applied
common fine salt to every stump of tree
or shrub as soon as cut that wish to
destroy, without failure. My first ex-
perience was with ailanthus and lilacs;
next was IL acres of land covered with
second growth of all the varieties of
the northern oaks and hickory, soft
maple, white thorn and mountain will
low, using ~ barrels of salt. Ihave also
applied it to the stumps of Lombardy
poplar, which is very tenacious of life,
and have not a failure to report. lap
ply about one-half teaspoonful to q
small shrub and half peck on a stump
measuring two feet in diameter, vary
ing according to size. recommend late
summer or early fall as the best season
for cutting and sailing, for the reason
that the downward flow of sap at that
season will carry the dissolved salt
which is poison to all tree growth, &c
the extremity of the out-reachins
roots"

FILINGS AT WOMANKIND.
Some of Which Smack Just q Lit
tie Bit of the Truth-Some
Are Calumnies.

A girl is visiting in town who has dress
trimmed with four miles of lace, and her
hostess Is thinking of giving reception
for it.
A woman who knows how easily the men
can be fooled tells everyone who kisses her
that it is the first time she was ever kissed
by man.
1t occurs to man with some wonder that
his wife never got up as much enthusiasm
over him when she was bride as she gets up
over the new little red baby.
When woman doesn't know of anything

says she has such "cute little ways"
Every unhappy woman takes pleasure in
thinking of the time when he will come

A good many girls have the notion that
some day they may be compelled to sell their
hair and pay off the mortgage on the family
homestead, as the story books relate. An
Atchison girl who had very beautiful hair
became very poor and agreed to sell it for
three dollars. After the hair had been cut
off the purchaser refused to take it, saying
she could get switch for two dollars in
Kansas City that would nswer.-Atchison

HANDY HAY STACKERS.
Two Varieties Which Have Been Used
with Gratifying Success fora
Number of Years.

The simple hay staclsers represented
in the accompanying illustrations are
used extensively in certain haying dis
tricts. They are erected ut convenient
places in the fields and yards and near
barns and sheds. Any ordinary hay
fork can be used in connection with
either, and much of the dreaded hard
lifting and pitching of the harvest sea-
son be avoided.
The pole stocker consists of two well
seasoned poles, two chains, three pull.
leys and ropes to manipulate the fork
One pole is set in the ground four to six
feet, after Stats have been nailed on OF
pins driven in auger holes about two
feet apart for ladder. The post OF
pole may extend 30 or 40 feet in the air
If high stacks are wanted. A short
chain Is placed around this pole near

How to Prepare whitewnsh.

Take half bushel of unslacked lime,
slack it with boiling water, cover dur
ing the process to keep in the steam,
strain the liquid through a fine sieve
or strainer and add to 1t peck of salt
previously dissolved in warm water,
three pounds Of ground rice boil'd to
q thin paste and stirred in while hot,
half a pound of Spanish whiting and
one pound clean glue previously dis
solved by soaking in cold water and
then hanging over slow fire in a small
pot hung in larger one filled with
water. Add five gallons of hot water to
the mixture, stir well and let it stand
few days. Cover from dirt. Itshould
be applied hot, for which purpose it can
be kept in kettle or portable furnace.
A pint of this wash mixture, II properly
applied, will cover one square yard and
will be almost as serviceable as paint for
wood, brick or stone.-Prairie Farmer.
Only that which is worth keeping is

the top and hooked SO as to hold the
pole in place. This is seasoned slim
sapling resembling q well pole, and
usually about 80 feet in length. A long
chain, of say eight feet extends from
the butt end of this pole to the post to
which it is fastened near the ground.
Three pulleys arranged properly are
sufficient to lift the hay or grain. A
small rope is enough to handle the
fork. The pole is pulled around to the
wagon, the fork inserted in the load
and the chain naturally draws it back
in place over the stack or shed and the
load is dropped. The chains and ropes
with one pole may be removed after the
stacking is completed.
Another stacker is sometimes called
the derrick or crane and is more handy
than the pole. 1t consists of heavy
post set solidly in the ground and
reaching 80 or 40 feet high, with an arm
IL feet or more in length, upon which
the pulleys and ropes are arranged.
Ihe arm is fastened in a groove cut in
Me post. and kept in place by an iron
band which allows it to turn round.
This stacker is frequently used when
stacking hay or straw in circle, with
the post in the center. 1t is useful also
in lifting from the wagon and swing
ing round to shed or platform at a
barn window. The same ropes and pull.
leys are required on both stackers, and
horse does the work of elevating the
load. A rope, twisted wires or chain
forms the stay of the derrick and pre-.
vents it from breaking. If the band
holding the arm slips it may be held in
place by hanging chain above and
hooking it around the arm.-Orange

Ricb-Yet Starving.

Doctors frequently have very wealthy
patients who are starving to death They
