Tho Revolution by Farm Machinery


w. B. Thornton in the August Worlds
Work: Farm machinery may sometime

ooo, 900 a year. Theoretically it is already
saving us nearly three-fourths that sum;
Tor as far back as 1885, If all the crops to
which machinery Is adapted could have
been planted and gathered by hand, they
would have cost nearly 100000, coo more
than II they had all been planted and
gathered by machinery. It has not only
added so much to our wealth. but it has
made us the foremost exporting nation.
and 1t is changing the character of the
farmer by freeing him from monotonous
hand-toil. More than that, it is fast
changing the imnlemorial conception OF
agriculture and the pastoral and idyllic
associations that have gathered about it
since the time Of Abraham Wealth in
dustry, commerce, the character of men
and even their sentiment are all affected
by it.
Yet so sudden have been these changes
that we have yet hardly caught their
meaning. The cradle-scythe is only a
little more than century old, and the
cast-iron pillow was first used even later
than the cradle-scythe. In other words.

almost as primitive as it was thousand
years ago. Now we have steam blows.

auto-mowers. They have come into use
so recently that only small part of the
population have ever seen them at work.
Yet they are changing our life in all it's
wide reaches-from commerce to poetry,

CHANGE.
Quit Coffee ana Got Well

Quit Coffee and Got Well.
A woman's coffee experience is inter
esting. For two weeks at time 1 have
taken no food but skim milk, for solid
food would ferment and cause such a
pressure of gas and such distress that
could hardly breathe at times, also ex-
circulating pain and heart palpitation and
all the time was so nervous and rest
less.
From childhood up had been cof-
fee and tea drinker and for the past 20
years l have been trying different physi-
cians, but could get only temporary re-
lief. Then | read an article telling how
some one had been cured by leaving off
coffee and drinking Postum and it seem.
ed SO Pleasant just to read about good
health decided to try Postum in place
Of coffee.
made the change from coffee to
Postum and such change there is in me
that don't feel like the same person.
We all found Postum delicious and like
IT better than coffee. My health now is
wonderfully good.
As soon as made the shift from cof-
zee to Postum got better and now all OF
my troubles are gone. I am feshy, my
food assimilates, the pressure in the
chest and palpitation are ali gone, my
bowels are regular have no more stom-
sch trouble and my headaches are gone.

HIS FACE sPolLs RAzoKe.
A Philadelphia Barber Has Stone

cutter for Customer.
Philadelphia Telegraph: Did you see
the man who just went out?" asked an
uptown barber of a customer, as a
swarthy Individual left The shop. Yes?
Well he spoils a razor every time shave
him, and he comes here twice a week
regularly. He is stonecutter, and the
grit and dust is so imbedded in the pores
of his face that it is like drawing razor
over the side of a stone. I always use the
best tools 1 have upon him, but they are
not stoneproof and a dull razor is the
result when his beard is removed.
He Is a customer upon whom I lose
money, and I am glad to say that he is
the only stonecutter who favors me with
his patronage. I often wonder how it is
that he doesn't vince when the razor
strikes section Of stone that is imbedded
in his face and bounds off, but it is prob
ably because his skin is so hardened that
he feels no Ill effects"

Murdsrere Release Is Sought on Tech
nicalities.
Sioux Falls, 8. D.. July 2S-An effort
Is being made to secure the release
from the Sioux Falls penitenttary Of
named Kopilnic, who was sentenced
for life from Buffalo county for the
murder OF his wife. The alleged over
sight Of a clerk of courts in failing to
note upon his records that the defend
ant was present in the court room dur
ing his trial serves as the chief ground
for the effort to secure Kopilnic's re-
lease. The prisoner has engaged an
attorney, who has applied for a writ
Of habeas corpus in his behalf. This
Will be argued before Judge Jones, Of
the state circuit court in this city on
the 31st inst. In addition to the fail
ure Of tho records to show that Kopi-
linic was present when he was tried
and convicted, it is alleged that the
Indictment against him did not charge
any offense.

Camel Cnrrinres.

Camel carriages are not common
conveyances in most parts of India,
but on the great trunk road leading to
Delhi they are frequently to be seen.
They are large, double story wagons,
drawn sometimes by one. sometimes
by two or even three camels, accord
ing to their size. Iron bars which give
them a cagelike appearance were orig
inally intended as a defense against
robbers, and the carts were probably
also used for the conveyance of pris-
opers. "The most picturesque proper
ty' of the Punjab government" says
John Lockwood Dipling ''is a huge
char-a-banc to which is harnessed a
team of four or six fine camels with
leopard skin housings and gayly at
tired riders" Neither camel nor bull
lock carts commend themselves much
to the western traveller. but in out of
the way places the latter are often
found very useful.

Lore of the Clover. 9

Any one who carries about a four
leaved clover will be lucky and will
have the power of discovering ghosts
or evil spirits. With it under the pill
low the lover may insure dreams Of
the beloved one. A fragment in the
shoe Of a traveller insures a safe jour-
ney. OF the five leaved clover it is de-
clared that If it be worn on the left
side of a maiden's dress or fastened
behind the hall door the Christian
name Of the first man who enters will
be the same as that Of the future hus-
band. The power of the four leaved
shamrock for good is familiar to all.

Living ON the Right side.

When a patient complains of bad
taste in his mouth every morning on
waking up, says a physician, the first
question l ask him is as to the position
he assumes when going to sleep. An
immense number of people sleep on the
left side, and this is the most common
cause of the unpleasant taste which is
generally attributed to dyspepsia. If
meal had been taken within two or
three hours of going to bed, to sleep on
the left side is to give the stomach
task which it is difficult in the extreme
to perform The student Of anatomy
knows that all food enters and leaves
the stomach on the right side, and
hence sleeping on the left side soon
after eating involves a sort of pump
ing operation which is anything but
conducive to sound repOse. The action
of the heart is also interfered with
considerably, and the lungs are unduly
compressed. 1t is probable that lying
on the back is the most natural posi-
ton, but few men can rest easily so,
and hence it is best to cultivate the
habit of sleeping on the right side. 1t
is very largely a matter of habit, and
the sooner it is acquired the better.

BOmbay's GrewsOme Cemetery and
Its Well Fed Vultures.
The Tower of Silence on top of Nal
abar hill is the prettiest spot in Bonn
bay. There is a circle of concrete walls
twenty-five feet high. Inside this wall,
six feet from the top, is an inclined
floor of concrete, divided into three cir
cles and surrounding a pit. The outer
circle is widest and is for the men; the
second circle is a little narrower and is
for the women; the inner circle, sur
rounding the pit is narrOwest of the
three and is for the children. The CEN
ter pit is deep and filled in the bottom
with sand and charcoal. There are
five of these. When a Parsee dies he is
laid in one of these. No one ever sees
the inside but those who bear the bod
ies in, and they do not look around but
walk right out. Overhead and perched
on the tops of the walls are many vul-
lures. When a body is borne in these
vultures swOOp down, and in two
hours they have eaten it clean. Then
the bones are swept into the pit. and
the rain washes the circles clean, and
tho bones in the pit crumble to dust,
and the water drains off through the
sand and charcoal into the earth. The
vultures sometimes become so large
and heavy they can hardly fly. They
allow no other birds near the place.
That is how the Parsees dispose of
their dead.
