PUBLIC UNTIDYNESS.
National SlovenIiness of the United
States Is Something to Oc-
casion Wonder.

The discovery that there is more of
filth, squaIor and general Sweetness
in public places and works, in streets,
squares, riversides, docks, quays,
roads and bridges in the United
States than in any other country OF
the first, or even second, rank is
humbling but salutary experience. In
what may be called our public house
keeping, in the outward appearance
and maintenance of places and works
administered by public or semi-pub-
lie enterprise we rank with Turkey
rather than with England or Ger
many. Oriental Japan, tiny Swltzer-
land and slow-going Holland stand
far ahead of the United States in
this respect, says a writer in the
Forum. Our national sloveliness is
seen N dirty streets and unsightly
water fronts; in ill-kept squares,
ragged sidewalks, and abominable
pavements; in shabby railway sta
tions and embankment walls built
up of rotting sleepers; and in
thousand shiftless substitutes for
solid permanent works. The unspeak-
able country roads which abound in
SO many regions not only illustrate
the existence, but also demonstrate
the folly of this semi-barbarous
slackness of administration; for they
constitute the most costly means of
transportation possible, impose a
heavy tax on every farmer and other
resident, and are clog upon the gen.
eral prosperity of the regions they
traverse. Tidiness and the efficient
maintenance of public works cost
more in the first outlay than negli-
gence; but they save this excess
many times over in the end.

CAUSE OF MILITARY CRIMES
There Are Many Sources OF way
wardness Open to Weak Mem
Who Enter the Army.

Hardship and privations do not i'm
prove the temper, and insubordina-
ticn easily supervenes, while the
temptation of drink, if it is to be
had, is too often irresistible to weak
but well-meaning men long deprived
of such dissipation. Another fruit
full source of transgression which, if
we are to trust vague reports, be-
come at times epidemic, was the al
most natural surrender to physical
exhaustion, says Maj. Arthur Grit
fiths in the Fortnightly Review. To
sleep on sentry is one of the most
serious of military crimes; it is in
excusable from the military point of
view, for the safety of thousands
may hang upon the vigilance of one
man, yet the strain of some weari-
some, longprotracted march or IA
tiguing operations will sometimes eX-
plain what cannot be defended Nor
can we shut our eyes to possible
guilt of more contemplate, if not
more fragrant, crime. Misbehavior
before the enemy, cowardice, in plain
English, is not absolutely unknown
IN our or any other army; it is
wiser, perhaps, to draw a veil over
it's exhibition and the punishment
that must follow, yet we cannot shut
our eyes to the certainty of it's oc.
casional occurrence.

WHY the Hens Need Grit.

Fowls swallow their food, broken
or not, and it enters the crop, or first
stomach, and remains in it until it
has become more or less softened,
when small quantity at time Gust
as grain runs into gristmil) is
forced into the gizzard among the
gravel stones. This gizzard is a
strong, muscular organ, and works
night and day when there is a grist
to grind, contracting and expanding,
thus forcing the gravel stones into
the grain, breaking it to fragments
and triturating the whole mass, after
which the food is in a suitable con-
dition to be quickly digested.-Farm

TO CURE EGG-EATING.
Positive Reformation Has Followed
the Method Here Outlined by nm
Eastern Farmer.

Almost every one has had trouble
with hens eating eggs. Any one who
has learned much from it will be glad
to learn any way to prevent or cure
it. A poultryman of experience says:
There is nothing more provoking
and more improbable than a flock
of hens which have acquired the hab-
it of eating their eggs. This is a
habit more easily prevented than
cured. Give the hens plenty of exer-
else with a variety of food Gather
the eggs frequently, provide suffi-
cient resting places and keep one or
more porcelain eggs upon the floor
of the house. Dark nests are advis-
able, and meat diet is excellent.
To cure the habit provide dark
nests and add meat to the food. Re-
move the end from several eggs and
pour out the contents. Make a mix
ture of -four, ground mustard and
red pepper, adding a little water to
hold the material together. Fill the
shells and place upon the floor of the
henhouse. The hens viii make
Wllu scramble IOf UneSe prepared
eggs, will gobb1e down some of their
contents, and will soon be gasping
with open beaks. Follow up this
treatment until the hens refuse to
touch an egg. 1t seems and perhaps
is somewhat severe, but no perma-
nent i'll effects will follow. The hens
will soon learn that eggs are not so
palatable as they regarded them, and
will desist from the bad habit. Posi-
tive cures have followed this method.

VALUE OF HoG-WALLOWS.
They Contribute i'm No Small Degree
to the Health and Thrift OF
the Farm Herd.

The hog is q native of hot climates,
where his thick skin served as pro-
lection against poisonous snakes and
other enemies. In the state OF his
present higher civilization his thick
skin is in some respects detriment
to his best welfare. When closely con-
fined in filthy quarters it provides a
harborings place for mites and vermin,
from which they are with difficulty
Gislodged. The extreme thickness of
his skin also tends to retain the body
heat too closely when penned' up in
hot weather, out of reach of hdsr nat
ural protective element-a moist mud
bath. The hog that is free to find it
well knows how to escape from insect
enemies; or if overhea.ted, into a wal
low hole, where he will plaster his
entire body in an armor of mud, which
when peeled off cleans and invigorates
his skin.
The hog is not so filthy an animal
as he is represented. If there are
clean natural or artificial wallows
within reach he will select such in
which to take his wallow bath in pref
erence to filthy holes containing yard
DRAWINGS which he, perforce, often
has to make use of. Where natural
running streams cannot be made use
of it will be found a profitable invest
ment to provide artificial wallows
made of plank, so constructed as to
slope gradually to a depth sufficient
for the largest hog to thoroughly
plaster himself with the mud and wa
ter supplied.
The wallow box should be built so
it can be conveniently cleaned and re-
filled with fresh water and dirt. Espe-
cially is such a wallow beneficial where
hogs are kept in large or considerable
numbers and kept rung, and therefore
less able to provide their own walIows.
Where such wallows are provided
they will often save the lives of many
valuable animals and help ward Off
disease. besides contributing in no
small degree to the health and thrift
of the herd. Brood sows narrowing
during hot weather are especially
benefited by access to clean, WELL
adapted wallows. BY such means they
will keep in check the danger from
overheating and fevering of their
blood, which often proves fatal to both
the sows and their litters.
The hog furnished with plenty OF
room and given a chance to select his
natural environment soon becomes
healthy, happy and wise.-Farm and

A NEW VEGETABLE SWEET.
Discovery of II Vegetable Growth in
Paraguay Containing Sacchnrin
Substance.

A plant has been found in the north
ern part of Paraguay whose leaves
contain a very sweet substance. Small
pieces will have the same effect as
large lump of sugar if dropped into a
cup of tea or coffee. The stuff is not
the same as sugar, though, because it
is much stronger and cannot be fer
mented says the New York Tribune.
The director of the Agronomical In
stitute at Asuncion believes that it's
chemical nature is different from any
thing else now known. The herb is
a rather common one, and the Ger
mans in that part of the world are
about to make some elaborate expert
ments in cultivating it for the mar
ket. IT is said to contain no deleteri-
Gus substance, but possibly the mat
ter has not been investigated suffi-
GENTLY. Fifteen or twenty years ago,
Prof. Ira Remsen, now president of the
Johns Hopkins university, devised a
method of manufacturing out of coal
tar a substance 300 times as sweet as
cane sugar. He named it "saccharin.' -
It's use has been recomm ended for vic
Tins of certain diseases who are
forbidden to take sugar. Neverthe-
less, for some mysterious reason,
there has been a disposition in Ger
many to prohibit by law the introduc-
tion of saccharin into beer. Possibly
the explanation of this procedure is
political, not scientific. Whether the
Paraguay plant, botanically known as
Eupatorium Rebaudiarum, will even
tually prove a disappointment, time
alone can tell.

DESTROYED EVIDENCE.
inEton Man Into the Peniten-
tiary for Four Years.

"Carelessness on my part in destroy
ing two kilograms made me serve lit
tie more than four years in the Albany
penitentiary," said a man who occu-
pies a good position in a government
department, relates the Washington
Post. "About eight years ago | was
married to a woman, but year or
SO later she fell in love with another
man and left me. Some months after
this I received a telegram from my
wife's sister, asking me to come to
New York at once, as my wife was
very sick. The next evening l re-
ceived telegram stating that my
wife was dead. Being angry with
my wife and not caring whether she
was alive or dead, tore up the tele-
grams and threw them into the waste
basket.
"Some months afterward / formed
the acquaintance of a young woman,
and after brief courtship married
her. In less than a week my first wife,
who was not dead, heard of the second
marriage and had me arrested for big
amy. Had I preserved the kilograms
I could, believe, have shown to the
court that I honestly believed the dis
patches to be true, but being unable
to produce them, was, upon trial, con-
victed and sentenced to the Albany
penitentiary for five years. Good be-
havior, however, secured my release
after serving little more than four
years"

GOOD POULTRY FENCE.

every few inches to hold the bottom
of the wire tightly to the ground. If
the netting is used as division fences
between yards, and there are male
birds in the different yards, it will be
necessary to have number of boards
at the bottom to keep them from
fighting each other.
All this can be very easily obviated,
however, by building a lath fence, such
as is represented in the accompanying
illustrations; and as it is not at all
difficult of construction and will give a
good appearance to any poultry
house, especially when division fence
is desired between two yards to keep
cockerels from fghting.-Fred O. Sib-

DENIES DueIists' Pardons.

Ever since Prince Henry returned
from the land of the free, German du-
elists have had hard time of it, for
the kaiser won't grant any more par
dons to gentlemen who take the law IN
their own hands. Learning from
Prince Henry that Americans lead or
derly and dignified lives without occa-
siona1 appeals to pistols and swords,
William concluded that Germans ought
to try the same methods. While for
merly duelists served only an infini-
tesimaI portion of the sentence i'm
posed by the courts the kaiser pardon
ing them after Few days or weeks,
their petitions for imperial grace are
now returned with the invariable re-
mark: 'His majesty sees no reason

quence of Prince Henry's visit which
