Cheap Electric Light.

1t has been remarked as showing
what a powerful element Of health the
electric light is, that the general health
of those who use it improves their APP
petite and their ability to sleep in
creases and the visits of the doctor be-
come less frequent. This is especially
apparent in the statistics of the attend
ance of working people in factories and
other places. In a London bank, where
1900 persons are employed, the alb
sences from illness have been so far
reduced that the extra labor gained is
said to have paid for the electric light.
The influence of artificial light Oh the
eyes has also very important sanitary
bearing. 1t has been asserted that the
injury to the eyes, of which the grow
ing short-sightedness of the day is but
one result, is due to the heat rays and
not to the light rays. If that be so, the
electric light is less injurious than any
other. If the eyes are exposed to the
strong light of the arc lamp, its ultra
violet rays have painful effect, but no
one has ever complained of the influ-
ence of a steady glow lamp upon the
sight, and it is possible 10 read and
write for many hours by such light
without experiencing the least fatigue.

NEW BUILDING MATERIAL.
Brick of Quartz Sand and Lime Said to
be Superior to the Old.

Brick of Quartz Sand and Lime Said to
be Superior to the Old.
For thousands of years men have
been making brick out of clay, and
pretty good brick, too. But recently
new kind has come into vogue. 1t is
composed chiefly of quartz sand, bound
together with a small amount of lime.
In the process of manufacture the COM
pound is subjected to the influence of
steam at high pressure. When properly
made this brick is said to he hard,
waterproof and able to resist the ac-
ton of acids. A lack of uniformity in
the quality has been noticed, however.
Limestone brick" which are made in
cold, wet weather, seem TO give less
satisfaction than those produced under
other meteorological conditions.
But there is now promise tiat this
difficulty will soon be obviated. A con-
sular report from Germany announces
that a Zurich chemist, Wilhelm
Schwartz, has found way to get good
results every time. The secre. lies in
controlling the amount of moisture adj
mitted to the compound and II main
tanning the temperature within certain
limits for time The former part of
the process is managed in a vacuum, so
that no dampness can be impaired by
the atmosphere. Herr Schwartz has in

to provide scrubbing brush which

vided to center the vertical shaft in the

Topdressing After Hayin,.

There are many cases where an appli-
cation of fine, well-rotted manure di-
rectly after the first crop of grass is
taken off will do much to start good
second growth, but this year it has
been so dry in this section that there
seems little benefit would have been
found by such topdressing. We would
wait until after the cutting of the sec
ond crop, if there is any, Or until about
October, and apply it then. not consid-
ering it so important to have the ma
nure fine. as it will become so before
next spring, or can quickly be made so
by the use of a light harrow or brush.
But if manure is all needed for hoed
crops do not make the mistake of APP
plying commercial fertilizer this fall.
Wait until early spring and then make
a mixture 1000 pounds of raw bone,
400 pounds each of nitrate of soda and
muriate of potash, or in that proper
ton, and use from $50 to 400 pounds
per acre, according to whether you
want heavy or very heavy crop. For
a clover field one-half that amount of
nitrate of soda would be enough, or on

MOrk or Agricultural AOtlcESSs

Extraordinary Devices to Evade the
Vigilance of the Customs Officers.
The great field for diamond snug
glers is the United States as the duty
upon them here is high and the demand
always great. On one occasion fash
ionable and gracious young woman,
possessing one of the sweetest OF little
japanese spaniels, managed to make
herself popular with every one on
board, as did also her little dog. Infor
nation arrived in New York before her,
however, that she had bought some Sc
iect and precious gems in Paris and the
officials were warned TO be on the look
cut for her. On her declaring after ar
rival that she was in possession of moth
ing dutiabIe she was therefore detained.
She was gracious, begged a young
woman who had taken quite fancy
to the spaniel and was going TO the
same hotel she intended stopping at to
take care of the little fellow until she
came, request in which the young
woman readily acquiesced, and then
gave herself and her luggage over to
the customs officials entirely.
They searched thoroughly, sparing
neither pains nor the young woman's
feelings, but were not able to discover
hair nor hide of any STOKES and had to
confess that either their information
had oeen incorrect or they had been
bilked Accordingly they had to let her
go. The next day the little spaniel died.
AS The customs officials afterward
somehow managed to find out, on the
morning of the ships arrival, the lady,
who had previously starved her dog for
nearly twenty-four hours, gave him
some dainty morsels of fat in each
piece of which was slowed a diamond.
1t is seen how ingeniously she managed
to get the dog out of the way, and the
next day, without any conjunction, she
poisoned the little creature and then
secured the diamonds.
Another smuggler used to pack his
gems in a cork box, or carefully in an
ordinary bottle. and then on entering
port he threw them overheard to be
picked up by a confederate in row.
boat who would come out to meet the
ship.
One man made point Of buying lot
of champagne during the voyage and
for souvenirs used to keep all the corks.
These he secretly cut and managed to
stow from one to three diamonds in
each. On the day of their arrival in
port, pretending to have become drunk,
he afforded the male passengers, and
even some of the customs officials them
selves, with much amusement by pelt-
ing rather green looking boatman
alongside with them. Though he never
missed his aim, the boatman took it in
good part, so the passenger afterward
threw him half dollar. The man then
pulled away for the shore and the trick
had been carried through successfully.

Value of Garden

The market garden business is a very
good business usually when one makes
it his entire business. Yet there are al
ways fixtures and disappointments in
it. Some crops fail to grow well, and
others yield abundantly and cannot be
sold at a satisfactory price. But the
family garden, little larger than need
ed for the home supply, well MANFRED
and well cared for, is never a disap-
pointment. If some crop is partial fail
ure it may not have any surplus over
the home demand but there will be
something else to substitute for it. If
another is over abundant and low
priced it can be used freely, and will
taste just as good as if the price were
twice as high. If there is a market for
the surplus and it is sold, it seems al
most like finding money, and if it can
not be sold there are some who find
much pleasure in supplying the wants
of poorer neighbors who cannot afford
to pay the price asked by retail deal
ers. Plan each year to have a good
garden, and trust to luck only for the
market-American Cultivator.

Uses for Corn.

The big acreage under corn does not
necessarily mean low prices on the
farm. So healthy has been the live
stock industry the past year that the
enormous crop of 1899 has been easily

finds farm reserves anything but un-
manageable. Aside from the very
