ing: Take small! Japanese cat bas-
ket and a Japanese dolls head, with
hair arranged in the quaint oriental

When vanishing wood the work
must be done in a warm room at a
temperature of at least rs degrees Fab
renheit. At a lower temperature the
moisture in the air will give the var
nish milky and cloudy appearance.
At the higher temperature on the
other hand the moisture is not precipi-
tated until the alcohol of the varnish
has sufficiently evaporated to leave
thin and smooth film of shellac. The
gloss and durability of the varnish
are entirely dependent upon this. Wa
ter should never be applied to war;
nished furniture. but oil should be
used in all attempts at cleaning. Kero-
sene oil may be put to good account in
cleaning unvarnished woods, but, like
water, it should be avoided with var
nish.

Instrument for Dehorning Cattle.

. Dehorning cattle has brought new
instrument into the equipment of a
range. 1t is a steel apparatus with
handles about three feet long, and al
together weighing 10 pounds. 1t has
two sharp knives, one stationary and
one movable, and resembles a tree
pruning fork. When the handles are
apart the knives are open and will
encircle the largest cattle horns. When
the handles are pinched together the
knives close and in twinkling the
horns are severed clean smooth. A
gang of five men will dehorn $50 cattle

How the Carp Were Extcrminated.

There was great slaughter of carp
on the Morgan place in Sauvie's ISL
and and now sll the lakes at Morgans
and Gillihan's are cleared of these
pests and they will no longer eat up
the wheat put out for the ducks. The
very low water in the lakes gave Frank
Thorne who has the shooting at Nor
gan's place this year, a chance to kill
all the carp in the last of his lakes.
The water was only few inches in
depth. Still very few carp could be
seen, but when planks were laid over
the soft mud down to the water and a
barrel Of lime dumped in the water be-
gan to boil and hundreds of carp from
8 to IS or 20 pounds put in an appear
ance and made the water and mud fly.
There were tons of the big ones and
millions of the little ones in the lake
but in a short time after the lime was
put into the lake they We're all dead,
and when the hunters left the pigs,
crows and cranes were having pic
nic.-Portland Oregonian.

Ane Of the most curious of the many
curious trades of Paris Is that of the
coin hunter. Many coins must, of
course, be dropped by inadvertence
each day in a big city like Paris, and
the business of the 'filonneaur," or coin
hunter, is to find as many of them as
he can. Sometimes. according to the
confession of one of them, these poor
creatures pick up as much as three
francs day, but their average takings
amount to one franc fifty centimes.-

There was a time when the efforts
of people to escape compulsory vaccin-
alton would have been less unreason-
able than they are now. When ply
sicians used humanized lymph (from
the arms of children who may have
been the victims of constitutional dis
eases) there was supposed to be dam
ger of developing incidental disorders.
AS matter of fact, however, most of
the charges of the transmission of
disease through vaccination were
groundless. In this day the virus is
prepared with the utmost care, and is
fully protected from all possibility of
germ infection. Only the bovine
virus is used, and the animals from
which it is obtained are always in per-
feet health. No one need fear any
thing worse than the effects of the
harmless virus, observes the Phila.
delphia Record.

Compressed laminated zinc plates
are being used on the inside of iron
and steel boilers to prevent incrus-
tation and oxidation. Hitherto zinc
has been used with some success in
the shape Of pigs placed within the
boiler, and experiments have shown
that the use of the laminated plates
fastened to the sides of the boilers at
slight intervals developes an even
galvanic current which effectually pre-
vents oxidation at a slight cost. The
device is now in use in French marine
boilers.

The most striking characteristic by
which fishes of different ages can be
distinguished is their size But the
size affords us only the means to es-
innate the age of younger fishes; as
to the older, it cannot serve us as an
indication of their age, since their
growth may vary according to the diff
ferent conditions of nutriment, SO that
often the younger fish will excel in
size the much older fish. There is,
however, at least as regards the fishes
of the northern seas, sure indication
that betrays their age. 1t is the oto-
lites, or ear stones. These ear stones
grow as long as the fish itself contin-
ues to grow, and forms annual rings
in the manner Of trees. The more an
nual rings shown by fishes ear stones
the greater its age. In this way the
age of a fish can be exactly determined.

For lighting purposes it is compressed

The new medical journal, American
Medicine" of Philadelphia, contains in
two recent numbers an elaborate arti-
Gle on the food value of alcohol from

formerly of the Wisconsin College OF
Physicians and Surgeons. The article
is prepared with direct reference to the
alleged discoveries of Professor Atwat.
er, of Middletown, Conn, and is ex.
haustlve in its treatment of that gen.
tleman's discussion of the subject:
Such substances as gunpowder, nitro.
glycerine, guncotton, and the like, con.
tanning an enormous amount of latent
energy would be valuable as foods pro.
vided, ~ that the introduction Of any
one of them had no irritating effects
upon the tissues with which they come
in contact; ~ hat the energy contain
ed therein might be liberated In an or.
DERBY manner as needed by the tissues,
all excess being stored for future use.
Just III that degree with which any
substance conforms with these condi-
tiOns is it valuable as food.
Testing alcohol by these require
ments what do we find? In the first
place, on all hands, it is recognized as
an active protoplasm poison, so active,
indeed, that less than fourth as much
as is necessary to furnish the tissues
with fuel may be taken daily without
tissue derangement being universally
apparent, and but very little more
than enough to supply the tissues with
their daily needs OF fuel has been
found sufficient to destroy life when
taken in a single dose. Does it need q
technical education to determine wheth-
er any poison so violent as this shall be
called food or not? It seems that
very few facts in science admit a clear.
er demonstration than that alcohol is
not a food. It's destructive properties
alone are sufficient to at once and for

STATE OWNERSHIP a SUCCESS.

When the state established a binder
twine plant at the penitentiary many
who we're opposed to it predicted dis
NAL failure. The opponents to The
plant have kept up the fight and last
winter for long time it was feared the
legislature would succeed in killing it.
The friends of public ownership are now
assured OF it's success unless a parti-
san legislature kills it at some future
time. Warden Jewett is demonstrate
ing his ability to manage the plant and
announces that all twine will be sold.
According to recent report the
amount on hand and in process of man
ufacture was / ,250,OO0 pounds. Last
year the sales were not up to expecta-
ton. The trust got in its work and
much of the Irvine was not sold. From
a financial standpoint to the farmers it
was decided success last year, for the
price of twlne was greatly reduced. In
the two years since its establishment
the price of Irvine has fallen about
half. 1t is now sold for II cents per ID.
I. o. b. cars at Lansing.
According to recent report it was
estimated that the state would require
1900, 900 TBS. Taking these figures as
true the state plant has saved the farm
ers of Kansas $500, 600 IN the price of
Irvine this year. This is a practical
demonstration of the good that comes
from public ownership.
With such substantial showing on
binder Irvine, cannot the state enter in.
to other enterprises with equal success2
Thousands of dollars 60 out the state
every year for insurance. This could
all be kept at home with state lnsur-
ance. An oil plant plant, a state tele-
phone system are among the many pos.
sibilities of successful state ownership.
These things will all come In time if
those who favor them keep up the fight.
OF course the trust and all those whose
personal interest would be injured by
the state stepping in and running these
things Will object and fight to the last.
But public ownership is coming and
none can stop it. Let the good work
progress as fast as possible.-Topeka
