This was due. however, to the great

tant disadvantage in feeding, in that
it is apt to form gummy mass,
which adheres to the teeth, making II
difficult and disagreeable to handle by
the animal This fault has been the
source of some of the poor results IN
feeding it, and is best obviated by
feeding it mixed with some other
grain, as corn, oats. or kafir corn. An

An Incomplete House.

We run wild over the furnishings of house;
its furniture, carpets, hangings, pictures and
music and always forget or neglect the most
important requisite. Something there should
be always on the shelf to provide against sud-
den casualties or attacks of pain. Such come
like thief in the night; sprain, strain,
sudden backache, toothache or neuralgia at
tack. There is nothing easier to get than a
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, and nothing surer to
cure quickly any form of pain. The house is
incomplete without it. Complete it with a
good supply.

Effect of Tumigation on Grain.

Owing to the fact that many millers
fumigate their storehouses, bins and
buildings in which grain is stored by
means of hydrocyanic acid gas, with
out removing such grain, the question
has arisen whether or not his fumi-
eating has injured the grain either for
food or planting. The Maryland ex-
pertinent station has made number
of tests along these lines.
In the test as to the effect on the
terminating quality of the seeds it
was found that dry seeds are suffi-
GENTLY resistant to the influence of the
gas to stand a treatment of several
weeks of an atmosphere saturated
with hydrocyanic acid gas without
destroying their vitality. If the seeds
are damp, however, they are much
more susceptible to the influences of
the gas, and should not remain more
than two or three hours in gas of
sufficient strength to destroy animal
life.
Only few tests were made along
the line of the effect of gas on the
seeds for food but it was found by
feeding the treated seeds to mice that
there appears no danger in the use of
them for foods. The general conclu-
sions arrived at showed that stored
grains and other seeds may be fu-
migated with hydrocyanic acid gas of
required strength, and for sufficient
time to insure the destruction of in
sect pests without injury to the germ
mating quality of the seeds and with
rendering them injurious as foods.

Storage of Farm Products.

When harvesting the beets, carrots
and turnips this fall care should pe
given their storage. When put into
pits or mounds the frost sometimes
seals them up until spring. Some pack
in bins, in dry earth or sand, but 1T
has been found that one of the best
methods is to pack in large bins and
flllng in with oats, which keep the
roots at an even temperature, and
makes them convenient for use, while
the oats are not injured.

To Make Furs Look Like New.

When furs become worn or soiled
at the neck they may be renovated
by gently rubbing with cotton batting
saturated with gasoline. which should
not be used in a room that has arti-
fetal heat or light. Axle grease, tar,
paint and pitch may be removed by
rubbing first with oil of turpentine
and then with ether Dark furs may
be cleaned with fine cedar or mahog-
any sawdust which has been heated
in an oven. Alaska sable, seal, elec-
tric seal, fox, etc, should be beaten
with a switch until free from dust,
then laid with the fur side up, and
the hot sawdust rubbed in. Be lavish
with the sawdust and vigorous with
the rubbing. After this place the
garment upon feather pillows with
the furry side down, and beat well un-
til all traces of the sawdust have dis
appeared. Then hang out in a shady
place. White furs may be cleaned
in the same way, using white corn
meal instead of the sawdust, or If
only slightly soiled, by rubbing well
with magnesia in cakes. Wet furs
should never be dried near the fire,
but shaken and hung away in a cold
room. then brushed.-Ladies' Home

HAS PECULIAR. POWER.
Young Man of Cleveland, When He Wills It, None Can Lift Him
 from the Floor.

A young man at Cleveland who weighs only 12O pounds and whom no strong man can lift unless he chooses Q be lifted is furnishing entertain- ment just now. The .hard-to-lift man IS named Mack. The strongest men have tried it and have invariably failed to raise Mack from the floor against his will, although they can do it easily when he consents to be lifted. This peculiar power, which few possess, is very much of a mystery. Some say 1t is a trick which can be learned from an instructor and acquired by practice. But this is not consistent with the fact that only five or six persons are known to have practiced it. The per- formance is so interesting that more would undoubtedly give exhibitions if they were able to learn how.
 Persons who make themselves unlift- able invariably profess ignorance of how they do it, and physicians and sci- entists have been unable to account for their power. Possibly learned men will be able to explain it some time, but as yet it seems to come under some law of nature that has thus far eluded the searchlight of investigation.

AS A LAST RESORT.
Another Addition to the Yarns Told About the Wicked Con-

"There has been considerable said about the per cent. of fare the con- ductor thinks belongs to him over and above his salary, and some very witty things have been said about it. Even the Broadway back platform philos- opher has his digs at them," said a Cleveland professional man the oth- CT day to a Plain Dealer reporter.
 "I once heard of a fellow, much un- der the influence of liquor, who got on the train to go home after enjoy ing himself at picnic. He slipped into seat and fell asleep. After the train pulled out the conductor came into the car and called 'Tickets!' The picnicker was too weary to respond, and so the conductor polked him up a little. The fellow reused up, fumbled In one pocket, then another, till final ly he pulled out very ragged bill and handed it to the conductor.

MOSQUITO SAVED HIS LIFE.
Industrious Biting of the Trouble some Insect Aroused a Sleeper
 to Deadly Peril.

Mosquitoes have been known to kill people, but here is a story of one that saved mans life. A Castle Val ley man tells the tale in the follow ing manner, says the Philadelphia Record
 "On Thursday night of last week I went to bed very late, undressing and putting, out the gas in kind of dream, for I had been drinking heav- fly. A mosquito awakened me with its maddening buzz and lay in a stupor for little while, asking my~ self what the overpowering odor was that filled the room and what was the cause of my feeling of dizziness and faintness. Then I tried to get to sleep again, but the mosquito wouldn't let me. It buzzed and bit and at last it reused me thoroughly.
 "'What smell of gas,' I said to myself, and l got up and staggered to the chandelier, to find one burner turned on full. I would have died of asphyxiation if I had not been aroused, and it was mosquito that awakened me. may truly say, there fore, that a mosquito saved my life."

Since the Sunday baseball games were started on Browns meadows, peo- pie in this section who own fruit trees and have been trying to raise little fruit for their own use. are the. vic tims of numerous depredations by boys from the city, who purloin the fruit regardless of fences, signs, dogs or rights of owners. If some of the thieves could be caught an example would be made of them.
 The Boys Brigade will remain an other week in camp at Laurel Beach. All of the youngsters. according to let ters received from them, are enjoying their outing and are loath to think of departing.

THE KAIsER's MOTHER.
Result of Her Efforts to "Reformn Germany According to the
 English Model.

Empress Frederick did not have a happy life in Germany. She went over to Germany from England with no- tion that the Germans were a trifie unciyilized, that they needed to be inn proved, and that it was her duty to apply to them a curative dose of Eng fish civilization. In way this was Mir. Gladstone's view of Germany. He knew both FraSce and Italy we'll, and for him the French and Italians were the two European nations in which a high civilization prevailed, says the Hartford Courant.
 As matter of course the German women. and particularly the Berlin women, did not agree that they need ed to be reformed according to the English model. Empress Frederick, however, was certain that she could not be mistaken, and she took her self imposed duty in all seriousness. It is probable that she did enlarge some what the sphere of activity of the Ber- lin women; got them to doing things they had not done before; made thefn understand the functions of pres ident. secretary and treasurer But the process was not pleasant for her. Bismarck believed, too, that she mixed in serious politics too much for Ger many's good Then her husband died and she was left without foothold.
 By not uncommon twist of the conscientious feminine mind, she de cided from the first to regard herself as a missionary sojourner in Ger many; and this is the position she al- ways held among the German people. down to her last days of Illness and pain .r ~ < ,
