Helped Everybody.

Gainesville, Tex, Oct. q th.-Mrs. L..
E. Burton, formerly of Eureka, Kan
sas,; has been at 507 Gladstone street,
this city, for some time. While here
Mrs. Burton has been the means of
doing much good by introducing to her
sick friends remedy which it seems
is very popular in Kansas, but which
has not been very much heard of in
this neighborhood. It is called Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and in every case where
it has been used it has produced won
derful results.
Mrs. Burton has good reason to
speak we'll of Dodd's Kidney Pills, for
they have done much for her and her
family. She says: II must tell ev-
erybody~ what Dodd's Kidney Pills
have done for me and for as many OF
my friends as have used them.
II had very bad case of kidney
trouble, for which I had been doctor
ing for long time without benefit. I
saw EOdd's\ Kidney Pills recommends

cured. My mother and my brother
were i'll, and they took them and were
soon well again.

West Indian Eruptions.

Sir Norman Lockyer writes to the
Times of London that the terrible cat.
astrophes of Martinique and St. Vim.
cent occurred at time of minimum
of solar spots, and that his investiga.
lions lead him to the result that such
disasters for the past seventy years
occur at critical instants in the sun.
spot cycle. Such critical instants, it
will be remembered, occur every five
and one-half years on the average.
The results of a comparison of two
curves, one of disasters, the other of
sun-spot frequency, should be received
with caution. If the same method be
applied to the United States Census
maps of 1870 it is easy to prove that
illiteracy in the United States varies
inversely as the rainfall, which would
be interesting if true. Unfortunately
other census maps do not bear out the
conclusion. Condolences of the sort
should be noted, but until we can pre-.
dict future disasters by their use, we
should hold them as accidental. An.
other coincidence may be here set
down. The Martinique disaster ,oc
CURED at the epoch of new moon and
therefore of a maximum lunar tide
Are we, therefore, to conclude that
eruptions and earthquakes occur more
frequently at such epochs? : This was
for many years supposed to be- the
case, but the researches of Montessus
de Ballore have completely disproved
it. Volcanic phenomena are, in all
probability, essentially local. II. they
depend on variations of, solar energy
the dependence is, it would seem, not
likely to be 50 simple and direct as
the sun-spot hypothesis demands. \

A Pneumatic Knife.

Through it's perversion as a weapon
of war during the late Cuban conflict
nearly every citizen of this country
is now familiar with the machete, or
cane-cutting knife, which is in COM
mon use in sugar producing countries
to harvest the ripe cane and bunch it
for the crushing mill. In the general
Improvement, which is constantly 60
ing on in the methods of handling az
ricultural products of all kinds it is
now the turn of the machete to give
way to more modern implement for
cutting the cane, as will be seen by a

ton. The new cutting implement is

Some Immense Viaducts.

The viaduct that carries the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad across the
valley of the Des Moines river at a
height of 1876 feet above the river is
1888 feet long. Most of the spans are
IS feet in length, and four lines Of
plate Orders support the two tracks.
The viaduct terminal of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad at Richmond,
Va, is three and one-eighth miles long.
The highest vladuct is at the crossing
of the Kinzua creek by the Erie rail-
road. It's height is 301 and it's length
is 2,053 feet. The longest span of any
simple truss is that over the Ohio
river at Louisville-namely, 546A feet.
The Delaware river bridge on the
Pennsylvania railroad near Philade1-
phia has span of 533 feet and con.
tains 1904 tons of steel.

SA'l criticism 81 Irish creameries..

q q critteisn1 on Irish Creameries. s#s
Lack of storage Is common I'D many
|:reameries, and ii Is nothing unusual
o find salt and parchment piled up
2 the main dairy quite damp, says q
writer in the Irish Homestead. The
engine room has also been used Tor
storing salt, and we have heard OF a
creamery equipped with q q special
Itoreroom in which, salt was stored,
m ordinary oil lamp being placed On
top OF one Of the sacks of$salt. Some
much neglected articles III the dairy
are the copper lids OF heaters, and the
various brass cocks and valves in use.
These are never polished and ID
time become quite dark and fdiscol-
bred. What contrast to. those In
Danish creameries, where everything
is polished and shining! The new
milk strainer and milk delivery pipe
from the tank to the heater are very
often neglected-the latter especially
can be found coated inside with de-
composing milk. The fabrication Of
machines should receives more atten-
ton. We have often seen lubricators
ION shafting quite empty, and the
grease cups on bearings of churns,
cream filters, milk heaters, etc., in
tue same condition. In q future ar
ticle we hope to deal in detail with
the question Of proper care in the
working of the various, machines
found, in a perfectly equipped dairy.
Now, as regards the Organization Of
work. in the creamery, the successful
working of which so much depends
on the application of the various
forces necessary. In all business con-
Germs there must be certain degree
OF discipline and attention to detail
in order to insure success, and no.
where is the lack Of these so apparent
as In creameries. Managers should
fix on certain hours on which EN-.
ployes are to commence work, stop for
dinner, etc. The writer has seen the
entire work of dairy dislocated be-
cause an engine driver happened to
be an hour late in the morning. The
employees should be trained to take
each others places, if necessary, and
the manager should qualify himself to
do any work in the dairy, from the
care of an engine, separators, etc., to
the .churning and working of butter.
1t is the lack of this knowledge on
the part Of some managers which is
responsible for the partial failure
of some societies. In order to gel
work properly done by his assistants
a manager must be Judge of good
work, and the best Judgment is that
which is founded on practical expert
ence, gained while engaged in thai
particular work. -

How to Prevent Forest Fires.

-.
The above is the question that is en-
gaging the attention of q good many
people, especially those that are inter
ested in forestry. Minnesota has made
more experim ents in this line than
probably any other state. Her great
forests have been so many times fire
swept that the legislature has taken q
very keen interest in how to save
them. One plan, now being tried, is
have the whole population organized
as fire brigade. The supervisors in
any town can call on all males over
Is years of age, whenever fire breaks
out. The idea is that such a fire must
be checked promptly, even if it takes
the whole population to do it. 1t is
said that no great forest fire has ever
been stopped while abundant material
remained to feed it. Against.a great
forest fire the efforts of man are pany.
The unbearable heat prevents men
from getting near enough to throw
water on the flames. If the trees in
it's path be drenched with water, the
water is almost instantly evaporate1
by the terrific heat Of the incoming
fire-wave.~ 1t is therefore seen that
all the efforts must be made. to pre-.
vent such disasters. And disasters
they are, affecting every person In the
nation. Had there been no great for.
est fires during the last fifty years it
is altogether probable that the price OF
lumber would not be more than halt
what it is at the present time. More

ing covered where they are now bare

tive floods ard washouts. = When it IS
remembered that single forest fires de.
stroy more timber than is used for
commerce during a years time, and
when we remember that the number
of such fires in, fifty years is legion.
we can see tt at the results OF the con.
flagratiors are far-reaching. # b
1t is difficult to see how forest fires
can be prevented without more or less
of public. control. ( ( When q multitude
of people claim ownership along the
edge Of a great forest, there is no
way of preventing the owners from
starting fires "a their premises, which
later get beyond control. IA Germany

The Teacher Was Quick.

Rowland, whose gruffness of manner
and love of neatness we're proverbial.

took notice of, an untidy desk and a
carelessly-arranged book shelf, and,

The Ice Supply and the Public Health.

The Ice Supply and the Public Health.
In Prof. Sedgwick's recently pub
lished book on sanitary science, he
summarizes the relations of the ice
supply to the public health somewhat
as follows: While it is true that some
bacteria survive exposure to freezing
temperatures, such conditions, espe.
cially if prolonged, are highly unfav-
CRADLE to bacterial life, Water tends
to purify itself by freezing, but the
publication is usually incomplete. A
few bacteria may survive even after
long exposure to low temperature.
Hence too much reliance must not be
placed on the publication of water by
freezing, especially if the ice is arti-
ficially made. The practical lesson is
not to- mix ice with food or to put it in
drinks. A temperature of between so
degrees and go degrees Fahrenheit is
sufficiently low to be refreshing, and
to obtain this degree of cooling it is
sufficient to place vessels containing
the food, etc., in ordinary cold stor-
age.
