Fiber Of Our Flax.

A former manufacturer Of linen
thread in this country communicates
to the Country Gentleman an article
In which he says that the fiber of our
fax is untitled for fine linens or
threads, and he thinks that 1t can
never be made suitable, the climate
being against 1t. The fiber grown here
Is of unequal strength because part
of the time only has 1t the proper
amount Of moisture. The droughts
that are inevitable in our climate
weaken the quality and strength of
the fiber and make 1t uneven. Hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars have
been wasted in the attempt to make
fabrics for which our homegrown fax
Is suitable. but SO far in vain. To
have a uniform fiber Of high quality

FROM INDIA.

Calcutta, India, has followed in the
footsteps of Rangoon by abolishing
barmaids from drinking places. The
victory was largely due to the Won
ans Christian Temperance Uuion of
Bengal, Mrs. K. S. Macdonald, presi-
dent, to whom this letter was ad-
dressed:
"Madam-I am directed to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your
memorial, representing the evils
connected with the employment of
barmaids in the bars and hotels of
Calcutta. In reply, I am to say that
the Lieutenant Governor has made
inquiries in the matter, and that he
concurs in the opinion expressed in
your memorial and other representa-
lions that have been made to him
that the employment of barmaids in
the hotels and drinking saloons in
Calcutta is injurious to the women
themselves and also a cause of dis
credit to the European community
His honor has, therefore, decided
that the practice to which exception
is taken shall be discontinued, and
orders have been issued to make it
condition in all future licenses for
bars and other drinking places that
no woman shall be employed in con-
nection with them in any capacity"
1t may not be generally known that
a large proportion of the bar maids in
India are English and Irish girls,
brought from their homes for osten
sibly honest employment. Many of
them do not know the nature of the
work required of them, but having
signed an agreement which stipulates
that their passage money must be re-
funded, find themselves helpless to
throw off the engagement. They de-
teriorate morally and physically, and
later in life are wholly unfit to enter
any other field of work for women.
Eventually and logically they drift to
shameless life.-Un6eas Signal.

EXPERT EVlDIDENCE CONCERNING
TOBACCO.

Charles w. Eliot, president of Har-
ward University, writes as follows:
''My own opinion IS that no tobacco
should be used by boys, and the less
the better by men,"
The following is from W. G.. Ballan
tine, president of Oberlin College;
cit is contrary to the custom of the
college for any professor Or any stu
dent to use tobacco in any form.
Nothing would induce US to give up
this delightful freedom. We pity the
people who cannot escape from the
reeking spittoons and stale odors and
sitting smoke of tobacco"
B. L. Whitman, president of Colby
University, says: "No record of the
effects of tobacco on students has
been kept in this institution, SO far as
I can learn. My Judgment is no less
emphatic, however, that the tobacco
habit is, in theory and in practice,
unwholesome and uncleap, first, last
and always
Carl Faction, director of the New
England Conservatory of Music,
writes as follows: eve disapprove
Of and discourage as much as we can
the use of tobacco among our gentle
men students when one of them
seems to be given to it. l think you
could safely say that the habit of US
ing tobacco must be of a rather detri-
mental character for those who are
studying singing"
John M. Wilson, superintendent of
the West Point Military Academy,
writes: ION several occasions dur
ing the past two years, youths who
have successfully passed the pbysi-
cal tests have developed eye trouble,
soon after commencing to study. In
three cases the expert oculist in New
York reported that the weakness of
vision was caused by tobacco poison
ing, resulting from the continuous use
of the deadly cigarette before COM
ing to the Academy. The regulations
of the Military Academy prohibit the
use of tobacco, and prompt and Sc
we're punishment follows, if cadets
are detected smoking"

OUR FARMERS.
BUYING OF CATTLE FEEDS.

The prices for grain and feeding
stuffs which are now ruling are SO
high that it behooves the buyer more
than ever to study the fitness of the
sundry materials offered for cattle
feeding purposes. Meals and feeds of
all sorts are offered, some good and
some bad. Their market prices
often show no relationship whatever
to fitness; hence the need of looking
beyond the mere matter of cost.
The state feeding stuffs inspection
of the past two years has served to
point out more clearly to the retail
dealer as we'll as the consumer the
distinction between good and bad
feeds. The Vermont experiment
station is now about to issue a bulletin
showing the character of the goods on
sale last spring. The standard by
products were found to run about as
usual. The guarantees made by the
manufacturers as to their quality we're
commonly upheld; but there were
few cases of serious adulteration, in
territorial or accidental.
The Mayfiour linseed meal contain
ed but little more than half of the
protein which this class of goods
should contain; few samples of
mixed wheat feed were found to be
adulterated; and there were several
oat feeds zone Of which was boldly
called ''ground oats') which were of
extremely low grade. One brand of
oat feed analysed at the station this
fall contained even less protein than
does oat hulls. 1t would appear that
in this case that the great feed adult
Grant itself had been adulterated.
Those interested in this matter are
invited to send to the experiment
station, Burlington, VT, for it's stock
feeding publications, which will be
mailed free to any address. Their
careful persual cannot help but aid
those who are in the dark concerning
what to buy.

Good Manners.

Good manners are the result of
training and example. Nature makes
a child do the things he does not like
to do. Society has long since agreed
upon certain formal rules of polite
ness. Not one of these but teaches
Difference to others and unselfishness.
Patient perseverance in repeating
what must be obeyed and the order
that must be observed will at least
effect the we'll bred child a satisfaction
to his friends and pride unto himself
all his lifetime. Politeness and self
respecting bearing is SO much capital
to the boy or girl who must work their
way in the world.

WHAT INJURIES SEED CORN.

Those who fail to get good stand
not aware of the fact that they have
planted seed of low vitality. A writer
in Prairie Farmer says it has been
proven that corn from perfect seed
will often be from week to ten days
ahead of that planted from seed with
just enough life to grow. The vitality
of seed corn may be injured in several
ways that escape the notice of the
casual observer. One cause of injury
being severe early frost, which chills
through the husks and Injuries the
tops of the kernels. Such corn will
start the root sprout with vigor, and
is said to have sprouted, yet the part
of the kernel that makes the stalk is
injured and comes up tardily, some
times twisting round like corkscrew
instead of pushing straight upward.
Again, a hard freeze before the cob is
perfectly dry may injure the end
which produces the root sprout; yet
this corn will grow under favorable
circumstances. Having escaped both
of these dangers corn may, if left ex-
posed to extreme changes of temp era
ture during the winter, condense
enough moisture from the air on a
warm, moist day, so much so that
freezing follows during the night and
Injuries it's vitality. I have had corn,
gathered before frost and hung up by
the husks in a perfectly dry chamber
of an outbuilding, so injured that
from 10 to Is per cent failed to germ
mate. If is mistake to suppose that
corn picked before full maturity is as
good as if fully ripe. The more per-
fectly developed the grain, the more
starch stored in it's cells, the better is
Mt able to triumph over adverse con-
-ditions at planting time. This is on
the same principal that fuM-Aeshed
animal can endure a blizzard better
than lean one.

Notes.

European temperance journals call
attention to the value of fruit as
cure for intemperance, asserting that
fresh fruit provides the needful acids
for the publication of the blood and
builds up healthy tissues.
Rev. Z. Dewitt Talmage and Arch
bishop Ireland are said to be the lead
ing figures in movement to organize
a National Anti-Treatdng League,
which is to be free from connection
with any existing church society.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge ofOdd-
fellows, in session at indianapolis, de-
esded that the ineligibility of saloon
keepers in the order applies also to
hotel keepers who maintain bar I'M
connection with their establishments.

The Deadly Bolt and
How to Dodge H.

Thunderstorms and the deadly elec-
trio bolts which go with them have
wrought great destruction of life and
property this summer. Forecaster
Walk of the government weather
bureau has laid down the following
rules of action during an electric
storm:
Keep away from water. Water, be-
ing one of the best conductors of
electricity known, attracts lightning.
Trees growing near the water and
piers and structures built out over the
water are the most dangerous spots
conceivable during a thunderstorm.
Open doors, windows and fireplaces
are the most dangerous spots in a
house. Electric currents have special
affinity for draughts of warm, moist
air. A city, contrary to common
opinion, is much safer place during
a storm than is the country. The tall
buildings, with their metal roofs and
heavy iron water spouts, are the most
effective lightning rods known.
Telegraph poles are things to be
avoided out of doors. Lightning
chooses the easiest avenues of escape,
and proximity to a good conductor, so
long as you keep away from actual
contact with it, is the safest place
during storm.
If an electric storm breaks up your
picnic, keep away from trees and take
your drenching in open field. Light
ming has peculiar affection for oak
trees, walnuts and elms. Barns filled
with grain or hay also seem to be
favorite targets for lightning bolts.
lightning stroke is not always
fatal. If perspiration and the ordi-
nary functions of the body can be in
duced after such shock, the patient
has good chance of life. One record
of observations shows that of 212
persons struck by lightning only IA
died. The treatment of suspended
animation caused by lightning shock
is practically the same as for asphyxia-
ton by drowning or gas suffocation.
Try to stimulate respiration, feed the
patient stimulants and keep his
body warm. Don't give up hope until
you have worked over him an hour.
Lightning is electricity of such ire
mendous potentiality that it has little
respect sometimes for insulators and
conductors. That is the reason why
all rules fail at times, why you hear
of so many freaks" of thunderbolts.
