A New Farm School,

The Farrag gut School is model rural
school built by the people of the tenth
district Of Knox County, Tennessee,
with the help Of the General Educa-
ton Board, which has contributed
5000 toward the establishment of the
school. The purpose is to make it an
educational center for the community,
not only for the children, but for the
grown people as well. The board of
trustees has just completed building
which has cost about $6,5OO. The
school has 1919 acres of land. On this
will be built home for the principal
of the school, with garden, barn, etc.
This will be as nearly as possible an
ideal country home, model home for
the community. Two or three acres
will be planted in shrubbery, or laid
out in walks, drives, etc. The remain
der will be divided into plots for
fruits, berries and the crops best suit
ed to this community. This is not for
the purpose of experiment, but for the
purpose Of demonstrating what has
and can be done with the various
crops. In addition to this there will
be shop work and such other things
as boys and girls in the country should
know.

the trouble experienced with the
tubers quickly rotting during storage,
last winter, housekeepers will be a
little cautious about laying in supply
for winter, SO it seems to be good adj
vice to urge the sale of the main crop
as soon after digging as possible If a
fair price can be had. Especially does
this seem good judgment where one
has no place for storing the crop on
the farm while waiting for better
prices.

ELECTRIC LIGHT BATH.
Incandescent Rays Are Said to Pro-
duce AN Effect Even More Dcnef-
icent Than Steam.

The electric light bath is one of the
latest luXuries TO command the atten-
ton OF the wealthy.
The bath consists of cabinet, which
may be built for sitting in or lying in.
The square cabinet occupies compara-
lively little space, and may stand in one
corner of the bathroom. The oblong
cabinet takes up considerable room, but
it is preferable to the square one, as
the occupant can lie at tuIl length and
relax comfortably.
One hundred incandes cent electric
light bulbs, each of 1G candle power.
line the interior of the cabinet. Spaces
are left between for beveled mirrors and
reflectors, so that thousands of rays are
multiplied and focused on the occupant
Of the cabinet. These direct and reflect
ed rays, argue the exponents of the new
bath, are concentrated on the body and
penetrate into the deepest tissues, there
by stimulating all the vital forces.
The oblong cabinet has sliding table
on rollers, with is pulled out for the
bather to lie on. This is padded, has
sheet on it and a pillow. After the
bather is in position, an attendant
pushes the table" into the cabinet,
leaving the head outside. This enables
the bather to inhale fresh air con-
stantly.
1t is not absolutely necessary to have
assistance in taking the bath, for a
clever person can manipulate the cleo
tric buttons before entering the cabinet;
and in the case of the oblong one he can
enter by the aperture, taking extra care
not to hit the body against the bulbs
However, it is more comfortable to have
some one assist in the process, turn
ing the lights on gradually until the
bather perspires freely.
This result is, of course, accom-
plished much quicker with some people
than with others, but after one of two
baths, when the pores are thoroughly
opened, from three to five minutes will
be required TO accomplish what it
takes from 15 TO 20 minutes to do in a
Turkish bath.
The temperature in the cabinet ranges
from 100 degrees to ITO degrees Fahren-
heit, depending on the duration of the
bath. The Turkish hot rooms range
from 140 degrees to 1870 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Agricultural stations have expert
mented with the electric light. and have
found that it stimulates the vital func-
tions of both plant and animal life. 1t is,
therefore, argued that it cannot be 9TH
erwise than beneficial when used on the
human body, even if the subject is in
perfect health.
Many society women claim that they
owe their good compilations to electric
light bathing, which clears their sallow
skins when they become worn-out by too
much gayety. Washington Star,

TRAVELLERS COMPASS.
Unique Marching Instrument Recent
1y Patented by an Austro-Hun-
Earian Inventor

It is not generally known that when
the sun is shining an accurate watch is
about as good a compass as man need
carry, showing at any time of day in
just what direction the south pole lies,
and enabling anyone to Immediately
set himself right if he knows in what
direction he should be travelling. BY
pointing the hour hand to the sun the
south pole will be found just half way
between that point on the dial and the
figure -. But for the man who is on
a long trip through country which is
strange to him there can be no substi-
tute for the compass, as the sun will
not shine every day, and the points of
direction are hard TO locate without it
unless this convenient little instrument
is at hand. Even with its use, how
ever, instances are on record where
travellers have forgotten the direction
in which they were marching and be-
come so confused as to double on their
track or travel at an angle to the cor
rect path. AS a precaution against an
accident of this character a marching
instrument has been designed by

SHOWS DIRECTION OF TRAVEL

European inventor, as shown in the il
lustration. In addition to the box con-
tanning the compass, with its magnetic
needle, there is a covering disk of
transparent material, which is capable
of rotation. In the cover of the case
are two slots, through which the line
of march can be sighted from one
prominent point to another, as the
traveller progresses Upon setting out
for the journey the exact direction of
the destination should be ascertained,
and, with the needle pointing to the
north, the case should be rotated until
the line of vision through the slotted
cover will point to the termination of
the march Then, with the case in this
position, rotate the transparent disk
until the indicating arrow on its sur
face parallels the needle beneath.
Whenever the direction is needed
thereafter it is only necessary to turn
the case until the two needles point in
the same direction, when the slots will
give the desired information.-Chic icago

NEW HEADACHE CURE.
1t Consists of "a Miniature RefrIger-
ating Plant, Recently Patented
by Indiana Man.

No matter whether a man was out all
night the night before, has strained his
eyes or eaten something which does
not agree with him, the resulting
headache incapacitates him from duty
of any sort which requires him to use
his brain to any great extent. Every
one has his 4avorite remedy, from a
headache powder to a day off, and
after the afiliction has been cured or
outworn it is soon forgotten, and the
man will repeat the dose" when the
next opportunity offers. OF course, the
best kind of cure is the prevention
of the cause, but since the preaching
of this doctrine is not often carried
out in practice, we give our readers
the benefit of the latest ingenious idea
in the line of headache cures. intro

ing liquids just as though the head

STOMACH NEEDS WATER.
Copious Draughts Are Useful to
Cleanse the System and Keep
the Body in Good Health.

The habits of people in general do not
seem so bad when one considers the
average individuals limitations as to
that most people don't know, don't
think, and hence don't care. Let them
read more science, think more sensibly
and act more seriously, then their hah-
its will be more satisfactory.
The alimentary receptable-the stonl-
ach or vat in which foods and liquids are
received and miXed-is habitually con-
verted by many persons into a chemical
-etort of all sort of drugs and remedies,
with the view of reaching and relieving
the ills of the various organs of the body,
from dandruff to corns. The writer be-
lieves that he can give nc more and bet
ter reasons for his confidence in the
therapeutic value of remedies than most
other physicians, but he wishes to en-
phasize here the transcendent element OF
common sense in their administration.
Before and above all things, however
what is wanted is clean gastro-intes-
tinal canal, and his claim is that water,
properly used, is the best agent to ef-
feet that cleansing. On a par with this
canal in importance are the eliminative
tissues and organs of the system, the
kidneys, the mucous membrane and
skin. What therapeutic agent, properly
used, is better than water? After all the
assinlilatiye and elimirative organs and
tissues have been thoroughly rinsed with
pure soft water then, if it be still neces-
sary to administer chemical agent. one
may be selected that will, with these
organs and tissues in better condition,
work wonders. If you are so foolish as
to allow yourself to. become foul from

WHILE HE WAS WORKING.
The Barber RegaIed His Victim with
an Illustrative Instance Of
Ignorance.

The barber tucked towel under
customers chin and then cleared hii
throat, relates the Philadelphia Press
"A victim-l mean a customer of mine
he began, told me a story the other day
which illustrates to my mind, at least,
that some men really don't know the dif.
ference between patent medicine and
Schuylkill water. 1t was this way:
This customer of nine had a friend
who had n great deal of trouble with his
hair. 1t was all the time falling out, He
asked all his friends what he could get
TO keep it in. Most of them suggested
that he get a basket, but finally one OF
them told him of a patent medicine.
80 the man whose hair was bothering
him got a bottle of the medicine and dis
covered that it was a dark brown sticky
stuff that he was to rub on his hair five
times a day. lie tried it the first day,
and it appeared to do good, but the sec.
ond day some one got there first, and
emptyng the bottle of medicine, filled it
up with sarsaparila. And all day long
that poor man rubbed the soft drink on
his hair and never noticed the difference
But he did notice, though, that there was
an unusually large number of flies swarm
ing about his head Bay RUM"

MACHINE FOR CURING HEADACHE.

man cannot fold the apparatus up and
put it in his pocket as he can a head
ache powder or other medicine, and,
consequently he must go where the
refrigerating plant is located if he de-
sires this form of treatment. 1t is in
reality just what has been suggested
above, a miniature refrigerating plant,
with the proper chemicals placed in
the flexible bulbs in contact with the
temples and quantity of the liquid
which completes the chemical reaction
contained in the compression bulbs held
in the hands. The apparatus can be
adjusted by means of the turnbucllle
to increase or decrease the pressure
of the cooling bulbs on the forehead,
and as soon as the patient begins
squeezing the bulbs to force the liquid
from one receiver through the pipe
and temple bulbs to the opposite re-
ceiver the cooling agent will commence
to act on the head, reducing the tenn
perature and driving the blood back
to the other portions of the body. in
stead of allowing it to enter the head
