The Montgomery Advertiser on Sunday last printed a Christmas edition which comes to us in six sections of seventy-six ly patronized by the large advertisers. who have shown their appreciation of the opportunity offered by taking whole pages. In addition to the full news of the day there are a great many special articles of interest to the general reader and Ala bamians in particular, with the usual amount of Christmas stories and other features. The Advertiser is to be con- graduated upon this evidence of It's pro- gressiveness and on the ability shown to produce so creditable a special edition.- Mobile Register.

frame to carry the engine which pro-
peis the cycle. The usual method Of
mounting the motor for running the two
wheeled machine is to place it in a cir
cular frame in the position occupied by
the crank shaft in the regular bicycle
However, this is made unnecessary by
the invention which we illustrate, which
makes possible the use of the old ma
chine with motor attachment. We would
suggest, nevertheless, that the rear
wheel be replaced by one of slightly
stronger build, as the increased weight
and the force of the motor will soon ex-
pose any weakness which may exist
in spokes or rim. AS the motor is
shown, there is little, If any, added
strain placed on the tubular frame, which
is strong point in its favor. when the
attachment to old bicycles is consid-
cred. The driving hub should be pro-
vided with coaster brake, and a second
sprocket wheel is necessary to connect
with the motor, while the gasoline reser-
voir and electric outfit can be arranged
as usual on motor cycles.-Louisville

NEW SWIMMING MACHINE.

wever, by the machine which has
.ust been invented by a Chicago man,
and which we have illustrated in the
picture. 1t is nothing more nor less
than screw propeller. attached to the
man instead of to boat. and the man
who is a good bicycle rider should soon
become proficient in the use of this
swimming apparatus, as the movement
of the feet is exactly similar to that re-
quired to drive the wheel on land
Probably the only difficulty the begin
ner would have with this machine would
be in maintaining the body in the cor
rect position to obtain the best results
with the propeller, but with a little
practice the hands are soon taught to
poise the body at the proper angle and
guide the swimmer through the water.
1t is unnecessary for the hands to aid
In the propulsion, as the screw will fur
nish sufficient power for the work.-Chi-

VITALITY OF SEEDS.
Under Reasonably Favorable Condt-
tions 1t Is Preserved for In
definite Periods.

Not to speak of the doubtful instances
of seeds taken from the pyramids hav-
ing terminated, melons have been
known to grow at the age of 40 years,
kidney beans at 100, sensitive plant at
60 and rye at 40. And there are now
living in the garden of the Horticultural
society raspberry plants raised from
seeds !, coo or LOO years old. The seeds
of charlock buried in former ages spring
up in railway cuttings; where ancient
forests are destroyed. plants appear
which have never been seen before, but
whose seeds have been buried in the
ground; when some land was recovered
from the Baltic sea, carex was found
upon il, now unknown in that part of
Europe M. Fries, of Upsala, succeeded
in growing a species of hieracium from
seeds which had been in his herbarium
upward of so years. Desmoulins has
recorded an instance Of the opening of
ancient tombs, in which seeds were
found, and on being planted they pro-
duced species of scabiosa and hello
tropium. And many more such cases
are on record, establishing conclusive
ly that under favorable conditions the
vitality of seeds is preserved for in
definite periods.
1t seems as if seeds remain dormant
so long as the proportion of carbon Pc
culiar to them is undiminished; water
is decomposed by their vital force; and
it is believed that its oxygen, combin-
ing with the carbon, forms carbonic
acid which is given Off The effect of
access of water is, therefore, to rob
seeds of their carbon; and the effect of
destroying their carbon is to deprive
them of the principal means which they
possess of preserving their vitality.
Be this as 1t may, It is incon-
testable that as soon as seeds begin to
germinate their vitality is exhausted,
and they perish, unless the seed is in
condition to continue its growth by
obtaining sufficient food from surround
ing media.-From Linley's Theory and
Practice of Horticulture.

CEREAL FOOD MAKING.
Cooked Grains Are Separated, Passed
Between Rollers and Flat
tened Into Flakes.

The superintendent of a much-ad-
vSrtised breakfast food recently stated
that he ate a pound of his product
every day.
"You see, our brand is a new one"
he explained to friend. 81 want to
see that every package is up to the top
standard before it leaves the factory;
so taste lot of the stuff to see If the
men are making it correctly"
According to this superintendent,
cereal breakfast foods do not require
very much complicated machinery
The first process is to wash the
grains of the cereal out of which the
thin flakes are to be made. Then 1t is
steamed for several hours in big cal
drons, the bottoms of which have holes
in them like a sieve.
The next step is to transfer the
cooked grains from the vessels to a
series of flat, perforated sifters, and
the mushy mixture Of grains is forced
through in such way that different
grains are separated and stand out dis
tinctly from one another.
At this stage the grains are passed
between great metal rollers, which fiat
ten them into flakes.
These flakes, still containing consid-
cradle moisture, are finally dried on
wire netting by means of hot air.
Then, last of all, they are packed
into their pasteboard boxes, ready for
shipment by the case of twenty-four
boxes.
That's all there is to It," said the
superintendent.
"In my factory we are Just making
a start. but we'll increase the size Of
the plant before long. You have nc
idea how easy it is to boom a new
breakfast food.
ITO tell the truth. about the largest
expense item on our books each month
is the price of fancy advertising cards
and other announcements.
I'VE have found thus far that ouI
sales are proportionate to the activity

CARE OF THE FOALS.
Unless the Mare Is Fed Well and Ju.
diciousIy Her Offspring VIII
Fail to Develop.

II the foal is worth raising at all,
1t is worth raising well, and if not
fed and cared for properly, will be a
disgrace to its sire and source of
loss to the owner, says the Live Stock
Journal. Tine mare should be fed we'll
enough to allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk Her food should be rich in nj
trogenous ingredients, for these are
most required for frame building. She
should be allowed to sucllle her foal
often, If she is worked, and never
when she is tired and sweaty. 1t does
not pay to allow the foal to run with
the mare at plow or on way to town.
Milk is taken often in this way, but
not in suitable condition for the foal,
and, besides this, the foal is getting
too much fatiguing work in following
its dam. Work the mare lightly, II
at all. Before it is too late put in
strip of fodder corn alongside Of the
pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide
and plant the corn thickly with seeder,
having some of the sprouts shut off.

corn fodder for the mares to help out
the pastures and feed the mares in ad-
dition generously upon oats, bran and
cut hay. Wet this food with molasses
water, If you want lots of milk, and
can keep flies out of the stable. Just
as early as possible let foals learn to
eat mixture of crushed oats, bran and
dried blood meal foods for frame build
ing, and if there is any tendency to
weak bones add bone meal, which may
now be had in the market, and do
much to prevent such troubles AS "os-
teoporosis" (big head). No foal flesh
must be lost, if best results are to be
obtained in horse breeding. Foal flesh
is to be put on by feeding the mares,
and as soon as possible supplying the
foals with a generous ration of nitro
genous food such as we have sug-
! gested.

E1ectrIo Lights nnd Dust.

The tendency of dust to collect on cleo
trio light fittings and wires and on
walls and ceilings near them is ascribed
partly to the influence of fair-currents in
duced by local heating and partly to
electrification of the dust particles.
These, when floating in room, are at
tracted to the electric conductors on the
non-earthed side of an earthed system.
They either remain upon the conductors,
OF, becoming charged, fly off and stick
TO the neighboring walls. BY putting
the switches in the non-earthed wire,
this deposition of dust can be confined to
the time during which the lamps are
alight. Further improvement, accord
ing to Mr.. d. S. Mouro, can be effected
by using concentric flexible conductors,
the outer conductor being connected to
the earthed side OF the system.

wood Ashes ns Fertilizer.

If pure, unleached wood ashes could
be obtained plentifully, and at mod
crate cost, they would give perhaps
more satisfactory results, as the ashes
are rich in potash and contain lime in
its best form, and also serving well as
a protection against the attacks of
some kinds of insects. Ashes can be
used without liability of injury on all
kinds of crops if broadcasted over the
soil, as many as $50 bushels per acre
not being considered excessive on cer-
tain soils, and they make better fer
tilizer for clover than barn-yard
manure. For fruit trees ashes cannot
be excelled.

SWIMMING MADE EASY.
Makes Use of bicycle Pedals
and Screw Propeller.

The majority of bathers find more
pleasure in padding leisurely about
and sporting in the surf than in exert
ing themselves to the extent necessary
to acquire any speed in the water, but
to the athlete this is rather tame, and
only muscular exertion affords satisfac-
tion. Were it not for the training neces-
sary to become rapid swimmers no
doubt more people would enjoy the ex-
hilarating sensation of propelling
themselves rapidly through the water
by the aid of the hands and feet. The
physical training is made unnecessary,

MOTOR FOR BICYCLES.

Standard Frame.

The large majority of those who few
years ago took up cycling as an amuse-
ment have been unable TO replace the
bicycle with the automobile, now that
the latter has made its appearance, and
have had to be content to stick to the
wheel, or find some other form of pas
time to afford exercise and occupy their
spare moments. AS slightly cheaper
vehicle than the regular horseless car
riage, the motor bicycle has been in
troduced, and a number of these ma
chimes may be seen every day in popu-
lated districts, but heretofore no pro-
vision mas been made for attaching a
motor to the old bicycle, and it has been
necessary to provide an entirely new

HOW water In CoIored.

Theusual color of water-greenish VEL
low to reddish brown-is now known to
be due to dissolved substances from
decaying vegetation, but particles in
uspension-usually mineral and often
containing iron-may be cause of the
color. The depth of tint is estimated by
comparison with a mixture of platinum
and cobalt, states DR.. A. E. Bostwick,
the unit being the color given TO 900 900
parts of water by one part of platinum.
AS rule, water near steep rocks, with
few trees, shows less than 20 units of
color; near steep wooded or cultivated
slopes, 20 to 30 units; near similar, but
gentler slopes, 5 to 100; and in swamps,
100 to 500. or even more. In the United
States, northern waters are more highly
colored than southern. Filtering does
not remove the color, and. as brownish
water-though rarely harmful-is OBJ
jected to for drinking, the coloring mat
ter is often removed by chemical means,
as by coagulating with sulphate OF alum
inum.

CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE=RU=NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for
several years with chronic female
arrangement had finally given up hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician after physi-
clan, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was poor man, hundreds CT Gol-
lars. They had been obliged TO deny
themselves many comforts Of life in
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, ard scarcely able TO leep
out of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause of the want of mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the r1per one day size hap
pened TO read an item which contained
the news that DR. Hartman would treat
such cases free Of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.
She soon received letter telling her
| exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment (the principal remedy being
| Peruna) at once, and in few weeks she
was we'll and strong again, able TO do
her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
| the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.

Charity Of Speech.

Unkind words do as much harm as
unkind deeds. Many a heart has been
wounded beyond cure, many feputa-
ton has been stabbed to death, by q
few little words.
There is a charity which consists in
Withholding words, in Keeping back
harsh judgments, in abstaining from
speech, if to speak is to condemn.
Such charity hears the tale of siander,
but does not repeat it listens insilence
and rorbears comment; then locks the
unpleasant secret up in thevery depths
of the heart. Silence can stir rumor
it is a speech that keeps story alive
and lends it vigor.
It is the kind and gentle heart that
charity abides with the peacefulness
of a love. There it makes its home,
and by the word withheld and the
kindly words outspoken, we have the
sign of the dove of peace nesting III
the heart. For Kind words are ike
"apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Fifty spoken, words fall like 'he
sunshine, the dew, and the summer
rain but, when untitly spoken, IKE
the frost, the hail, and the decendihg
tempest. Therefore by our words we
proclaim what we are.
