comfortable, especially in winter time,
but the maternal instinct rises supe-
rior to cold or even ice water. 1t is
cruel to use such harsh measures, at
least when it is a well established
truth that they cannot succeed. 1t is
very easy to break birds of the desire
to sit, If they be taken In time. Sim
ply put them in a crate with some
other broody hen or even alone. This
has always proved effective with the
writer; the only case in which it fails
being where the fowl Is permitted to
sit for a week or so before any at
tempt is made to break her up. Even
then the only proper way to treat her
is to put her where she cannot get
at any kind Of a nest.

Rancid Butter in New Zealand.

New Zealand has a law, recently
enacted in the interest of honest dairy
products, says Breeders Gazette. One
clause provides that Gin every case
where dairy produce is condemned by
an inspector, he shall at the cost and
expense of the owner, cause the same
to be removed to boiling down works,
soap works, or other place where such
produce shall be so treated as to be
absolutely unfit for human consump-
ton Evidently they are far behind
the times in New Zealand. In this
country our "aXle grease" is renovated
and made into process butter and
sold without let or hindrance as pure,
fresh butter. This is the up-to-date
way. But a little of the old-fashioned
honesty behind the New Zealand law
would be gladly welcomed here. All
efforts to secure the sale of imitation
goods on their merits encounter the
determined opposition of the manufac-
turers and vendors of the substitutes
and courts are lending themselves to
constructions of the law which render
it's plain provisions imperative.

In view of the scarcity of good for
age crops on many farms, an expert
ment by the Virginia station on feed
ing corn silage to horses is worth not
ing. The test was made with Two
horses and six mules. The animals
were given small amounts of silage for
some weeks before the test proper.
After the preliminary period they were
led for six weeks all the silage they
would eat, with hay and corn in addl-
ton. 1t was concluded that the silage
was not as readily eaten by horses as
by cattle, and that horses after becom-
ing accustomed to silage, eat no more
than they a easily assimilate. Some
trouble has been reported in feeding
silage to horses. 1t is believed this
may be attributed to feeding too large
quantities. AS a whole it would appear
that silage would make a good coarse
fodder for horses when used in con
nection with hay or slower and grain
but hat the animal should become &C
customed to the food by degrees, and
hat this is as important as when
changing from old to new corn, OF
from hay to grass.

Great saIt Lakn shrinkinr.

The reason why the Great Salt Lake
in Utah is growing smaller, according
to Prof. J. e. Talmage, is that the
volume of water from it's four tribu-
tary rivers is being more or less di-
verted by irrigation. Prof. Talmage
a the water of the lake is growing
each year more acrid as it shrinks in
size, and he thinks that in another 100
years it will be replaced by a glittering
bed of dry salt.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.

Killed 2ae Ratt1esnakes.

The Omaha Bee publishes the fol- lowing: Mir. Berry and Miss Caldwell, of Sioux City his niece, were strolling along the river bottom east of the house, through beautiful natural grove, when all at once they discovered by the warning whirr of hundreds of horny tails that they were in the midst of congress of rattlesnakes, that seemed to be in session as a con- mittee of the whole for executive busi- ness. MT. Berry happened to have a spade in his hand and with it laid about him vigorously right and left. Miss Caldwell assisted with a club. When the battle was over they counted 256 dead rattlesnakes and half as many blue racers. A great many of the snakes had as high as II rattles. They were an extraordinary vicious lot, and instead of attempting to escape came sayagely at the intruders and fought doggedly until the last one was ex- terminated. The rattles, which will fill an ordinary cigar box, they cut off and prize very highly as mementos of an exceedingly perilous position.

Lifted Across the Mountains.

It is remarkable fact that water which flows naturally into the gulf of California and thence into the Pacific ocean has been virtually lifted across the backbone of the Rocky mountains and now, after being used for irriga- tion, finds it's way to the gulf of Mexi- co. A number of small streams on the other side of Longs peak, which flow into Grand lake and thence into the Colorado river, have been diverted by ditch that finds it's way through a pass 10000 feet high into the head waters of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic feet per second have thus been di- verted from the Pacific to the Atlantic slope, where the water is used for irri- gating additional farms in Larimer county. It is not strictly correct to say that this water has been lifted across the range, but feat of sinuous engineering has diverted it.

SUNS JOURNEY.
Velocity Is Between Six and Twelve
 Miles Per Second.

Velocity Is Between Six and Twelve
 Miles Per Second.
 By means of the spectroscope we can obtain a probably more accurate deter- animation of the suns velocity through space, says the Gent1eman's Magazine. As is well known the velocity of a star {n the line of sight can be found by measuring the displacement of the lines visible in the stars spectrum. Now the stars near the position or the solar "apex" should be approaching the earth on account of the solar motion, and those at the opposite point of the sky-ealled the "anti-apex" should be receding. This method has been em. ployed by several astronomers, espec- ~Sally by Vogel at the Potsdam obserYa- tory. This able astronomer has found from an examination of forty stars that the suns velocity through space is about seven and one-half miles a sec- ond, and an examination of larger number of stars would be necessary before We could consider this result as thoroughly established. From an ex animation of the spectra of fourteen nebulae, Prof. Keeler of the Lick ob- seryatory has found velocities in the line of sight and from these the French astronomer Tisserand has deduced a velocity of about nine and one-third miles for the solar motion, result which does not differ widely from that found by yogel. We may, therefore, perhaps conclude that the velocity of the suns motion through space is be- tween six and twelve miles per second, The average velocity Of the stars meas nred at Potsdam is about ten and one- half miles a second and possibly ths sun may have similar velocity.

PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT To SAVE,
Remarkable Growth of Great Brltain's
 Postofiee Savings Bank.


 The history of the postofTiee savings bank of Great Britain Is specially re- markable. There is nothing compara- ble with it in the world as savings institution. It was founded only thir- ty=eight years ago, and it now has 100000 depositors and holds in trust over $500 100000. The business of the central administrative department in London has grown to such enormous proportions that an area of five acres has recently been purchased at West Kensington, in the outskirts of Lon- don, whereon new buildings will be erected for it's accommodation The cornerstone of the main structure was laid in June by the prince of Wales. Every postoffiee in the United King dom is branch of this bank, and there are 1,200 branches. The institu- tion has been popular with the masses from the beginning, and it's benefits in the encouragement of thrift and provi- dence have been beyond estimation. One in every five persons in England and Wales is said to have an account in these banks, and one in every four teen in Scotland and Ireland. The in- stitution catches the small savings, the average sum on deposit by the TO- 100000 depositors being only about $80. Every device is employed to encour- age making of deposits and to render the banking process simple and con- venient The elementary schools oi the country cooperate with the banks and the children form a large percent age of the depositors. Penny-stamP slips are provided whereby children are enabled to begin an account with minimum deposit of l shilling. An in- terest rate of 21s per cent is paid.

THRIFT OF A CLERGYMAN.
stters Whose Backs He Used for Copy
 Made Amusing Reading.

Made Amusfng Reading.
 Habits of thrift are generally con- mendable, but sometimes they give cause for amusement without the per son practicing them being aware of it. This was the case recently with we'll known clergyman, whose church is one of the most fourishing of it's denom1- nation in the city. This clergyman Ter eeives a salary of $500 year and has in addition a comfortable income ot his own. He is liberal giver to many charities, lives in a handsome brown-stone house, and apparently has less reason for economy than the average citizen, yet he has one habit. perhaps better, one idiosyncrasy-th might we'll be taken as an indication of poverty by those who did not know the clergyman. With inborn Scotch thrift the minister makes use of the kolank side of letters he receives when they are written lon one side only. He was recently asked to prepare an article for a magazine. Ill due time the manuscript reached the editor, each page of it written on the back of an old letter, and it was only too evident that he had paid no attention to whether or not the letters were Of a personal character. The letters fur nished a rather curious commentary on the sort of letters a metropolitan clergyman receive. Among them were: A notice from an insurance company that his policy had lapsed owing to the non-payment of $156 premium. A note from the general passenger agent of a railway refusing his request that a pass from New York to Chicago be given to poor brother in the min- istry. An appeal from a poor widow for money to pay her rent and keep Sher from being dispossessed. A letter from broker, who was one of his con. gregation, advising him to invest in a certain stock, as it was certain to be "a good thing" A criticism of one Of his sermons from one of the pillars of the church. A receipt showing that he had paid for the license Of his dog New York Herald.

TEETH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Eight Out of Ten Pupils Are in Press
 Ing Need of Dentist.

ASA6hb oot OA 4e0 Euplia Arc iu ETeSS
 Ing Need of & Dentist.
 The teeth of the average schooiboy or schoolgirl of this country are in bad condition. Probably eight out of ten school children, as they average, are 1n pressing need of the service of a dentist. MT. Edwin Collins, editor of the LondAa Dentist, says that few years ago a school committee was ap- pointed by Qe British Dental Asso- ciation to examine children's teeth at various ages. Over 10000 moutks were examined, and more than 65 per cent Of the boys and girls of an average of F years needed treatment. In 1895, out of $500 childrens mouths in- speeted, only BPS, or little more than one-fifth, contained no teeth requir- ing filling or extraction. The report of the British army medical depart ment for 1890 says that 506 recruits were rejected on account of their teeth. Of the 458 girls from parochial schools ill London who entered do- nestle service in one year fiye-sixths had never known the use of a tooth brush. MT. Edwin Collins writes in the Nineteenth Century: of it were believed that the hands and feet Of nearly all our children were, with eyer-inereasing frequency, attacked by perfectly preventable diseases that lead inevitably, when not checked at an early stage, to modification and the necessary amputation, one by one, of all the fingers and toes, very little persuasion would be needed to induce parents, schoolmasters and the public authorities to insist on a periodical examination of the hands and feet of school children, to watch for the first premonitions of such disease, and to compel by legislation, if necessary, the early and effectual treatment of each case as soon as it's first symptoms showed themselves. All that has been said of the hypothetical finger and toe disease agrees in every particular with the facts in regard to dental eases.
