Tides In the Mediterranean.

For practical purposes the Med
%iterrancan may be accepted as being
what it is popularity supposed 10 be,
a tidcless sea, but it is not SO in
reality. In many places there is a
distinct rise and fall, though this is
more frequently due to winds and
currents than to lunar attraction.
At Venice there is q rise of from
one to two feet in spring tides, &C.
cording to the prevalence of winds
up or down the Adriatic. In many
straits and narrow arms of the sea
there is a periodical hux and refux,
but the only place where the tidal
influence, properly SO called. is IN
mistakably observed is in the gulf
of Gabes, where the tide runs at
the rate of two or three knots an
hour and the rise and fall varies
from three to eight feet.

i!ot a Slave, but the Autocrat and IDOL
Of the Home.

A''S wv
Of the Home.
"NO ace can rise higher than its
mothers" Japanese ono are cs-
scntially u a Of mothers, and tho
care and rearing Of their children
occupy SO much Of their time and
thought that they are unable to
have that extensive socia! life their
western sisters enjoy, even were it
not for the etiquette which makes
it actually fashionable for them to
find their pleasures in their homes.
Many have imputed TO japanese
women in consequence a lack Of
knowledge and undue mcckncss, re-
garling them as little more than
servants Of their families and llus-
bands. Such criticism is purely su-
pcrficial and far from being accu-
rate. Indeed, it is very inaccurate.
The position Of a Japanese wom-
an is a high ne. She is addressed
as "oknsama," the honorable lady
Of the house, and she is treated with
the greatest consideration and re-
spcct by her husband and her fam
ily. Far from being Il meek, slavish
creature Of the household, she is
more of the mentor, the ~autocrat
and idol Of the home. In domestic
affairs she has full control. Her
duties are oncrous. but never re-
pugnant to her. They consist Of
managing the household, practicing
economy, making her home pleasant
both in appearance and by her cheer
fulness Of disposition, and the ed
ucation and instruction Of her chill
dren, for even after the children
have entered school they are still
under her tutelagc.
AS her homo is therefore her
world, it is only natural That it has
become the inherent instinct of the
Japanese ONE to lavish the great
est love and tenderness upon their
homes and to cxpcnd much time
and thought in endcavoring to make
them as attractive and as pleasant
as possible.
Her house is the acme of purity.
TO a western eye the aspect of the
interior of a japanese house may
at first seem bare and cherries. In
truth, the Japanese abhor dccora-
ton Of any kind and consider it not
only inartistic, but extremely yul-
gar. I was once shown q so called
Japanese room" in the house Of Il
Chicago millionaire, and / am quite
sure that the average Japanese
housewife would have thought her
self i'll the room Of some insane per-
son or else in some curiosity shop.
Such q profusion of articles scat
tered broadcast about the room!
Such q frightful display Of mixed
up ornaments hanging to the wall!

Strange Meteorite.

Washington, Feb. IA remarkable
metcorite, weighing $50 pounds, has
arrived at the National Museum. This
stone was recently found on a farm in
Christian county, Ky.
A member Of the geological survey
who was sent to verify its ge%nuineness
says that the rock contains oombina-
lions of elements that never could have
come into existence on the earth. In
addition to this fact while the meteor
lite measures barely q foot and a half
in length or breadth, it is so heavy
it took several men to carry it. Sol
entists believe it was dropped from the
tail OF a comet passing within the
carth's orbit, and they consider it a
wonderful specimen, because they say,
at least three-fourths of the falling
meteorites are consumed in the atmos-
phere before reaching the earth's sur
face, or are broken in fragments.
In appearance the rock is very rough
being covered with granules held to-
gether by metallic cement. It is
mainly made up Of the iron, character
istic only of ultra-terrestrial objects.
1t also contains a substance called iau-
rencite. which oxidizes so rapidly in
atmosphere that it conrotbe perceived
after a moments exposure. This is
considered nm additional proof that the
stone at q time belonged to a body
in the solar system, where atmos pherio
conditions differ from those of the
earth.
This particular meteorite is called
Pallasite, after q similar one found in
Siberia in 100. Tho curator purpos-
es to cut the new exhibit in half, and
polish one side Of it. that visitors may
have an opportunity to see the pecu-
liar elements which compose it.

A Shake in Frisco.

James W. Edgett, one of the
shrewd business men of Brooklyn,
who would rather give a friend 81, 600
in cash than subscribe for $40 worth
of stock in o new venture, says: 81
was in the Palace Hotel, San Fran
cisco, with Mrs. Edgett and L two
daughters on the night Of the most
violent earthquake they have had
there in years. 1t was our first ex-
perience, and we were at the moment
not pleased. Our rooms were on the
fifth floor and things moved around in
q most disturbing fashion. Men, wo-
men and children aocked into the
halls in a panic, all in their night
clothes, except one old gentleman and
his wife. He was, so far as we could
tell, completely dressed, and it
was his r%eassuring words that pre-
vented a shocking catastrophe.
HE was old man eloquent. His
splendid voice rang out like a clarion,
summoning US all to be calm. Ihave
lived here twenty-five years. he said,
and have been through scores Of
earthquakes far worse than this.
1t is MI over. 1t lasted forty
seconds, and what you feel now
is the house settling back to it's nor
NAL rigidity.' Many more things he
said. l had determined that it was
better for Mrs. Edgett and the girls
to remain on the fifth floor IL the house
went down, thau on the first, and they
bravely agreed with me. There would
be less ruins on top Of us. It was a
queer, quaint audience-night gowns,
night shirts, pajamas, night caps,
smoking jackets, here and there a
chemise, bare feet and bare heads.
The old gentleman, known as the
head of q large firm in the city, said
by way of perora.ion: why, ladies
and gentlemen, look at me! I was
asleep when the shock came,an I calm
~ dressed myself He had on On
overcoat that nearly touched the floor,
and as he spoke he unbuttoned it and
threw it open. The women screamed
ooh! His wife raised up her hands
and cried, 'Jamesl' The old fellow
had forgottca to put on his trousers.
But he was otherwise fully dressed,
even to collar and tic. With laughing
at him We forgot that there was such a
thing as an earthquake. New York

necessity OF utilizing il By :. cross for
cool climates.
1t is estimated that eight goats can
subSist and will yield Il good flow of
milk on the amount Of feed required
for one COW. They are satisfied with
provcnder of any sort, and by keep
ing a couple Of them instead of a COW
the family Of a workingman may be
provided during the entire year with
milk. The goat gives a moro whole
some milk than the COW, Of higher
nutritive value and richer in fatc. SO
far as known, the animal is not sub
jcct to tuberculosis and it's milk is
invariably free from the germs Of that
that dreaded disease.
Goats milk is much nearer to
mothers milk in composition than
cows milk. In Germany the chill
drcn frequently take their food direct
from the uddcr of the family goat, as
the kid does. In Italy, which is a
goat country. the feeding bottle is
scarcely heard Of and babies who are
not so fortunate as to be nurscd by
their mothers find in the little Italian
nanny their next best friend; and it is
not an uncommon sight to sec an in
FAINT or snail child drawing its dinner
from the goat which has been brought
to the steps or into the house for the
purpose.
The department of agriculturc's
special expert in goats is Mr.. George
Fayettc Thompson, from advance
proof sheets Of whose "Marur. of
Goat Raising the information here
given has been obtained. 1t seems
that a mich goat should be hornlcss,
short-haircd and Of solid color. 1t is
worth while to buy only we'll bred ami
mails and both buck and doe should
be of milk giving strain. Kindness
and gcntleness arc required and feed
ing must be liberal, if good results in
the way of milk are expected. A
goat must have hay, about 500 pounds
a year. or equivalent fodder, and will
exc out its existence on kitchen slops.
1t must be MIXED three times a day
and there should be n bench outside
the goat house for the animal to stand
upon. It soon learns what the bench
is for and will get upon it when milk
ing time comes
Mich goats arc remarkably prolific.
Some breeds have as many as four
kids at Il birth and the Nubian some
times produces AS many az eleven in n
year. Now and then people complain
OF tho too strong flavor Of goats milk,
but, where such "a trouble is not mott
ced, it is due to the fact that the ami
mails arc not kept clean. Not only
should their quarters be kept in a
wholesome state, but the goats them
selves ought to be washed and comb
cd occasionally. Under such con-
ditions the milk, which is thicker and
has more body" to it than cows
milk, will be found delicious. But,

COW or THE POOR MAN.
Uncle Sam Wants to Popularize the
.Milch Goat.

Washington, February 14.--Unc!c
Sam wants to popularizc the mich
goat, which is the ''cow Of the poor
people Every poor family in this
country ought to have at least two
goats, but it is Of utmost importance
that the animals shall be Of the proper
breed and, therefore, the department
of agriculture, which has been making
a special study Of the subject recently
is taking steps to procure the impor-
tation of certain desirable milk.giv-
ing stock, such as the Maltese and the
Nubian.
The goat is the greatest milk pro.
Queer Of all domestic animals, giving
much more of the product than the
COW in proportion to size and food
consumed. Many goats yield ten
times their body weight Of milk an
nually and exceptional ones as much
as eighteen times. Agood milch goat
yields at least two quarts Of milk a
day, and in Europe goats that produce
from three to five quarts per diem are
plentiful.
In Europe the goat is considered so
valuable as to be almost indispensable.
That the animal should be utilized to
30 small an extent in this country
seems astonishing. But the depart
ment Of agriculture believes it practi-
cable to build up a great mich goat
industry in the United States, begin
ming with the poorer people, who arc
unable to own aud feed a COW. Later
on, perhaps, there will be goat dali
ries, which would be likely to be very
successful near large cities, the milk
commanding amuoh higher price than
COW milk, owing to its superior rich
ness aud absolute freedom from germs
Of tuberculosis.
There is no good reason why goats
milk cheese should not be manufac-
tured on u large scale in this country,
the product being.vcry choice and com
handing high prices. Many of the
most highly esteemed uf our imported

Marcellin, St. Claude and Chcvcrctiu,
the first of these three, however, being
partly Of sleeps milk. On one es-
tate near Lyons, France, 10000 goats
are kept for cheese making.
In no country has the raising of fine
mich goats been brought to such Il
degree Of perfection as on the island
OF Malta, where Il population of 300
600 relies almost wholly upon these
animals for milk and cheese. The
Maltese goats arc very large aud hand
some, With long glossy hair and it IS
no uncommon thing for one of them
to yield five or six quarts a day. They
could not be introduced successfully
in the United States, because the eli
mate would be toe cold FOR them, but
crosses of them with harder varieties
would be most valuable.

as S. S. S. It attacks the disease in
the blood, n%eutralizes the acids, and

S. S. S. strengthens and enriches
the thin acid blood, and, as it circu-
lates through the body, the corroding,

are dislodged and washed out of the
muscles and joints, and the sufferer
is happily relieved from the discom-
