Chinese College For London.

In future if an Englishman wants to
learn Chinese he will not be obliged to
travel to China to do it. A Chinese
college is to be established in London
and, though the college is not yet built,
some of the professors have already
arrived and have started work. The
professors wear their ordinary oriental
garments when taking classes, and many
pupils have joined army men, engi
neers, city clerks and budding diplo-
rnatists. OF course, there have long
been Chinese professors at Oxford and
Cambridge, but this is the first venture
of the kind where the teachers are all
natives of the Celestial Enpire.-Ta-

Painting Farm Buildinss

Some one has said that paint and
putty are like charity, they cover up
multitude of SINS" or faults would
have been a better word, as not all
faults deserve to be called sins. When
the spring rains are over, and the wood
Is dry, but before the flies get plenty.
Is good time to paint farm buildings,
carts and tools. 1t is not necessary
20 havea skilled painter to do all this if
economy is to be studied. The ready
mixed paints, properly used, will last
as long, look as we'll, and preserve the
wood as we'll as those mixed by the
painter, and any hired man or smart
boy can soon learn to spread them, not
as well as the man who learned the
trade, but we'll enough to cover the
buildings. When we first tried such a
job we received these directions which
helped us much: ''Keep the paint we'll
mixed, do not get too much Oh the
brush, and carry the hand steadily in
a straight line" Begin on something
or some old building where looks is not
very important, and considerable i'm
provement will be seen in the workman
ship after even a days practice, and
when a second coat is put on it should
be smooth enough to hide the defects
of the first attempt Most of the ready
mixed paints are improved by the addi
ton of little more oil and turpentine,
at least toward the bottom of the can,
as but few will keen them sufficiently
we'll stirred.-American Cultivator.

Brief Hints.

To extract paint from clothing satuf-
ate the spots with spirits of turpentine,
let it remain several hours, then rub u
and it will drop off.
Javalle water is Indispensable in
laundry work; dip any stains IN IT Tor
moment, then in boiling water, and
they will disappear. If any yellowness
remains bleach.
Boiling water made strong with am
monia and applied with Whisk broom
cleans willow chairs admirably. Soap
should never be used, as it turns them
yellow.
Ammonia greatly lessons the work OF
cleaning kitchen utensils, and of wash
ing windows. Rubbing Brussels car
pet with strong ammonia water VIII
brighten it, and remove stains.
Lamp burners that have become dim
and sticky, can be renovated by boiling
them in strong soda water, using tin
tomato can for this purpose; then scour
the burners with sapolio and they wilt
be as good as new.
Iced asparagus for hot day is de-
Iicious The tips and only the tender
est part of the stalk must be used. Boil
or steam very carefully SO as to have
the asparagus firm and not soft. While
still warm, dress with oil, vinegar, salt
and pepper; when cold, pack in ice and
salt and freeze.
A dash of cayenne added to the water
Ia which turnips are boiled is said to-
improve the favor of the vegetable.
A housekeeper famous for the deli
eious plum pudding served at her table
declares its base to be carrots. The
formula is simple, and the results SO,
very good that 1t is well worth trying,
Boil the carrots until tender, and press
through colander. Take boWlful OF.
this PURGE, one of suet, one Of -four and
one of currants. Steam three hours.

He went and came. And all winter he
kept coming and going, not only to
that house, but to one after another of
the houses that had dispensed wi h him.
His employers wondered if the reform
would last; but long before spring all
were convinced that his luck had
changed indeed Before another winter
came he was back in the Electrical
Works, and there he has stayed ever
since.

Growing Ioncor,i.

We used to know man who claimed
that he found it profitable to grow pop
corn every year for market. He used
land that was light and warm, and we
thought scarcely strong enough for a
very good crop Of field corn, and gave 1t

fairly good dressing OF manure, and
he said his crop usually exceeded TWEEN
ty bushels of ears to the acre, and we
think he said he had grown over thirty
bushels. He kept 1t until well dried or
in condition for parching, and had a
local demand for it at higher price
than was paid for that grown In the
West. We think it used to bring from
So to So a bushel in the ear.-New Eng

Put a quart can of tomatoes in a
saucepan over the fire with half an
onion, slice of green pepper, If con-
venient, three cloves, two bay leaves,
a sprig of parsley, teaspoonful OF

ten minutes, remove from the fire,

Farm Notes.

Earm Notes.
Don't begrudge robin a few cherries.
No weeds are more injurious than
neglect.
Anybody can raise strawberries
with spoon.
Economy in youth means an easy
chair in old age.
An ounce Of cultivation is worth a
pound of manure.
Berries we'll picked and packed are
we'll received in market.
Do not let the wheat and rye get
dead ripe before harvesting.
Even nice, refined girl may have a
rough chap on her hands.
The devil owes much Of his success
to the fact that he is always on hand.
Do your pears crack? The remedy Is
to spray with Bordeaux mixture. Do
it now.
Just as like as not your lima bean
poles are too long. 1t makes the vines

they do not start off well on account

The White Grub.

The white grub, which often in dry
season eats off the roots of the grass
and corn, and will eat almost any root
which is not too hard, is the larva of
what is known as the June beetlepin
and farther South as the May beetle
1t often is so abundant as to make it
necessary to plow up fields where they
have destroyed all the grass, and even
then it is difficult to destroy the grub.
But we have seen it stated that the
beetle, though it flies mostly by night
is a leaf-eating insect, and where the
trees are sprayed with arsenites many
Of them are killed. AS one Of their ia
vorite foods is the leaf of the hickory
tree, that should be sprayed regularly
each year-American Cultivator

Care OF Teams,

It will soon be time to start the NOW
ing machines at work, and possibly
many have done SO already, although
the grass has not matured as early as
it does in some seasons. 1t Is salts
faction to watch the grass fall before
the rapidly playing knives, and to feel
that the horses are doing the work so
much faster and better than it used to
be done by hand labor. How we used
to sweat and swelter in haying time,
and how often we used to need to
Quench our thirst as we came to the
end of the sWath, some with water and
some with more potent beverages. Now
the man on the machine does not per-
spire as much, or need to drink as Of
ten, and we fear that he sometimes for
gets that the animals which are doing
the hard labor for him also need to
quench their thirst more frequently
than they would if quietly standing In
a well-ventilated stable. They should
not be expected to keep busily at work
for more than five hours at time, and
they will do that much more comfort.

ELECTRICITY FROM ABOVE
Eddy Tells of Experience. lie Has Had
with Ills Kite Wire.

New York, Jan. l2-William A. Eddy
Of Bayonne, n. j.. says since 1892 he
has drawn from his kite wire hundreds
of electric signals, both regular aud ir.
regular which may have come from
some planet and that the signals have
been usually in groups Of three, regular.
IL timed like a Morse sounder. When
ends of the kite sustained by steel wires
arr separated by silk strands. sparks
jump al l2-second intervals Then there
are mysterious disappearance Of all
electric action for several minutes. These
electric sparks come from some high
point in the air, not near ~ the low ten.
sion electric currents Of trolley and live
wires
Mr. Eddy says these sparks in signals
may come from an outer planet because
electricity travels nt the rate Of 100, 900
miles a second and is as tireless as light
which totals lss,3OO miles "A second AS
measured by IA rapidly revolving toothed
wheel. Great variability in effect is
produced when there is apparently no
change whatever in the condition Of the
upper air 81 far as known.
Mr. Eddy has been trying 10 decipher
these signals since 1899 Il is also noted
that Tesla's signals come from Pixies
Peak at Il high point in the air. Eddy
points out that electricity is superior TO
light because the interruption can be
transmitted while light suffuses around

shadow Is small in diameter.
