Chloroform and :Ga,lirht.

In general the profession in this
country il united in the belief that
ether. is a much more satisfactory
'anaesthetic than chloroform. A not
inconsiderable number, however, pre-
fer chloroform, particularly under es-:
pecial circumstances. and some opera
tors who have no well-equipped clin-
les at their command tend to use chlo-
reform when working by artificial
light, and: particularly in ill-equipped
houses. It is, however, known BY
most pharmacologists and by many
others that chloroform has dangers
when used BY artificial light. but this
fact is by no means generally recog-
nized. Persons have been killed by the
decomposition of chloroform BY. gas
light. It has been attempted to over
come the danger Of the production Of
this form Of poisoning BY placing soda
or horax solution or milk Of lime IN the
5operating-room. but these methods
have been shown to be wholly insuffi-
cient. Philadelphia Medical Journal.

THOUGHT GUN BEW1TCHRD.
oAa Would Not Touch 1t
Again,

A story Is told Of Uncle Washington
Harris. one of "Marse Clay's niggers
afore de war;" who remained on the
plantation after he was set free. He
was considered a power among the
negroes, being somewhat of a local
preacher, says the New York Tribune,
but he said: "1'se jist exhortioner
'mong de congregation"
Once when Uncle "Wash" was "ex-
hortioning 'mong de congregation"
the Ku Klux came after him, and, as
the old man hurriedly beat an exit
through window, one of the Ku Klux
got the tail of his Prince Albert coat,
that "Marse Clay" had given him, aud
which the old darkey was very proud
of. From that time Uncle "Wash" al
ways carried an old long4barreled
shotgun.
The neiRhhors were in the habit of
meeting at night at Bob" Clay's coun-
try store to tell yarns and talk about
the crops. Uncle "Wash" and sew
eral other old colored men. were al
ways present. sitting on nail kegs
respectable distance behind "de white
folks to hear de yarns" On these oc-
casions Uncle "Wash" always left his
gun in the rear of the store.
One night "Buck" Allen. who never
was tired of playing jokes on the old
man, got his gun, and. after drawing
the shot from it. loaded it with pow
der and phosrhorous wood as wad-
ding. then another load Of powder and
more phosphorous wood, repeating
this till there were several loads of
powder and wood in the gun. ramming
down the last charge of powder with
an extra long piece Of wood. "Buck"
dropped coal on it and went back
TO his seat
If rhosphorous wood Is lighted, the
Are will eat very slowly through it,
and act az fuse Uncle wash" took
up his gun and started home. and was
several hundred yards from the store
when the spark reached the first
charge Of powder and exploded it,
which greatly perplexed the old man,
but he attributed it to an accident.
When the second explosion occurred
he fell on his knees and prayed, but
when the third came he threw the gun
from him into the bushes and ran for
dear life. As Uncle "Wash" burst
in the front door to the CONSERVATION
Of his wife. and fell sprawling on the
floor. hysterically praying, he heard
the last charge explode.
Uncle Wash" never went back for
his gun. and could never be convinced
"speerets" were not in that "ole tur-
kee gum" and that it was not be-
witched. !.

Taking Cook County Lands.

Below we give an editorial that ap-
peared in recent issue of the Duluth
News Tribune. Tho Forest Reserve
people and those who are combating
their ideas are firmly intrsnched in
their opinions, and this matter Of the
Santa Fe railroad taking 5000 acres OF
land In this county would not seem to
affect the question. The fact that there
are thousands of acres Of valuable lands
in this county Is not questioned by any
one, nor is he fact that the three coun-
ties at the head of tho lakes contain
many thousand acres Of worthless land
questioned, at least it is worthless at
present..
There are 5000 acres of woods in Cook
county that will not be handed over to
General Andrews and the sylvan on.
thusiasts for q forest reserve. The
Santa Fe railroad has taken up that
quantity Of the public domain there
under the law that permits an exchange
OF lands by the holders of others yet
uoentered. It may be taken for granted
that the Santa Fe management is con-
Quoted with fair degree of intelligence,
ana that it has not selected lands value

have not just at hand figures to
prove the value Of chopping the hay
for cattle feeding, but know that
careful experimentation has proved
that the best economic results have
been obtained 10y feeding the hay
chopped. Very many of the owners
Of extensive herds in the State chop
the hay for feeding. All animals eat
the chopped feed clean, thereby MAX
Ing a very considerable saving. The
hay was always chopped for the stock
ON my fathers California farm, even
as far back as forty-two or forty-three
years ago. From the experience that
came with this practice l have since
been an advocate Of chopping the hay

Nearly every colt, when driven away
from home, will shy and scare more
or less at objects along the roadside.
After he has been driven a few times
the common practice is to strike him
with the whip every time he does this.
1t is provoking to feed a horse hay
three times a day and then see him
scare at a little pile Of hay in the road.
The first thing that comes in the mind
is to give him cut with the whip.
Nothing worse than this could be done.
The next time he will not only be
afraid Of the object but Of the whip
also, and by a little training in this
way he win soon be confirmed in the
habit Of shying and soaring at nearly
everything he sees. First the tendency,
then the habit is the law Of nature,
and when the pile OF hay or rock, or
whatever startles, is connected with
the whip, as it soon will be- the
habit is fixed for life. You cannot lick
horses into good habits; you can estab-
fish vices very easily by blows

All soils contain fertility to n GER

soils there are dominant or insolu-
BILE substances, varying in compost

ted by some crops, though easily avail
able for others, but IL such elements
are not appropriated by the crop occu-
plying the ground they are gradually
being reduced or being changed in
composition so as to be put in condi-
ton for the succeeding crop; hence TO-
tation, therefore, not only prevents the
loss of certain substances In the soil,
but assists in converting the locked
up elements Of the soil into available
plant foods. In this country no sys.
tenn of rotation is deemed complete

ponds upon the soil and Its condition,

changes. 1t has been demonstrated
that green crops are valuable in re-
storing fertility, and lime has been
found valuable assistant, especially
in preparing the soil for the work Of
bacteria, by neutrallzing the acidity,
but the best results are obtained by
not only varying the crops grown, but
also by studying the characteristics Of
the soil.-Philadelphia Record.
