Need Whole Skins.

Skin fruits are generally exposed for
sale without thought Of causing trou-
BILE, and nature really intended that the
skin should be protection to the fruits
i'll more ways than one. A skin fruit
that has not had its outside punctured
will keep many times longer than an
other which has been cut or bruised. As
soon as the skin is broken countless
germs of putrefaction and fermentation
get lodged therein, and the wound quick
ly becomes the weak point in the fruit
to cause its destruction. Apples with
the skin even slightly punctured cannot
be kept in cold storage more than few
months, but those which are absolutely
perfect in the skin will keep nearly a
year in a low temperature. This very
fact indicates to us how numerous ana
dangerous fruit becomes when its skin
has been punctured and is exhibited on
the stalk for sale. Many children buy
these injured apples, bananas. grapes
oranges and other fruit, and eat them
without regard to their decayed cond-
ton. With one mouthfui they may con-
sumo a few thousand germs. some dan
eerous to the health and others not espe-
cially injurious, owing TO natures wise
precautions in supplying our stomach
with fluids capable of destroying them.
The ordinary stomach is able to cope
with a whole army of deadly germs, and
scores of times it saves us from death

NERVE SPLICING.
One of the Greatest Achievements of
Modern Surgery.

Nerve splicing, or restoring dead
nerves to life, is one OF the latest
achievements of surgery. And though
the process is still in its infancy. ii is be
lieved in medical circles that the opera
ton will one day become rs common ny
trepanning. Three cases have already
resulted in perfect success. The cure for
paralysis and palsy is brought about by
means OF this process. In the ease OF
young children palsy is brought about by
some accident of birth which congresses
the nerves which radiate from the spinal
cord, and If in the upper part of the
body produces paralysis in the arms.
The technical name for this disease is
birth palsy"
Paralysis in old people or those al
vanclng in years is sometimes due Ia this
accident, though ii more usually comes
from the decay of the principal nerve.
Two children, victims Of birth palsy.
have been experimental upon with such
success that the patients are rs well as
the most anxious mother could wish. DR..
Clark, one OF the operating physicians.
has recently explained before nm audi
cnCe of medical men exactly how the
operation is performed. The nerves
which supply motion TO the effected limbs
are several from n close To the spinal
cord as possible and then grated to the
nrise i'll course of time the delicate
threads unite and the paraly2cd parts
take on fresh life. Naturally the opera
ton is exceedingly difficult. because the
nerves which radiatc from the upper
part OF the spinal cord are SO great il
number and cross and rccross each other
in So complex "A manner. Another dtli-
Guilty lies in the fact that anaeSlhetc>
must be used sparingly. for the longer

Making a Handy Gate.

Take a horseshoe and fasten it to the

will project, as shown in the detail

Pop Corn.

In earlier times pop corn was very
commonly grown in small quantities
on many farms and in gardens Tor
home consumption, for it has long
been favorite food. or food aces
sorry, with Americans. In recent years
there has been tendency to depend
on the larger growers for pop corn,
and this crop is now raised in some
regions to very large extent, says
n bulletin. For instance, Il large
grower In Iowa IS reported to have
1000 acres annually planted to pop
corn, and in some regions Of Nebraska,
notably on the north and middle loupS,
pop corn is practically the only crop
grown, 100 bushels to the acre, 1t Is
said, being an ordinary Yield. Fine
pop corn is also grown on large
scale in some regions of Michigan.
AS regards the culture of pop corn,
1t may be said in brief that it is much
the same as for sweet corn. When
grown on a large scale, 1t is drilled IN,
and 1t is not planted in checks. 1t Is

keted on the cob or shelled. 1t is diff
ficult to estimate the cost of produc-
ton, owing to the limited data avail
able. but, according to Nebraska
writer, 1t can probably be grown and
placed on the market for $l2 to SD
an acre. Several years ago pop corn
sold in Nebraska for $3.50 per 100
pounds, but for last years crop Q3o3)
only 90 cents per 100 pounds was OF
fered. Assuming that the yield Is
eighty bushels to the acre, the latter
price would give return of some
thing like SOS to the acre. A promi-
nent Iowa grower OF pop corn states
that IN his experience the price has
been as low as 80 cents, and as high
as 81 per 100 pounds.-Exchange.

AERIAL RAILWAY IN INDIA.
Sensational Religious Ceremony Tba;
Takes Place in the Himalayas.

One of the most remarkable and senSa-
tional religions ceremonies In the whole
of India takes place Annually at kuu,
Ii the Himnlayas.
From 4 cliff overhanging n precipitous
gorge several hundred feet deep rope
is stretched, and fastened to strong
stake on the opposite side of the ravine.
The rope is of great length, nearly BOO
feet, and when it is stretched taut the
upper end will be several hundred feet
higher than the lower end.
Down this terrible incline the victim
or performer slides, the precaution hav-
ing been taken to wet the rope to pre-
vent it from catching fire from the fric-
ton.
This descent is effected ms follows:
The performer sits astride on n kind of
rough wooden saddle fitted with holes,
through which the rope is threaded,
while to his legs are attached bags filled
with sand to enable him to maintain an
upright position during his descent ana
also to increase the momentum. The
lower end of the rope is wound round
with rugs and carpets in order to check
the descent at landing and prevent the
Jher as the performer is called, from
dnshing his brains out against the pole
TO which the rope is fastened
The first few hundred yards of the
descent is accomplished with lightning
velocity. rs is indicated by the stream %
smoke which follows in his wake The
incline then diminis ing, the pace he
comes slower and slower, SO that, 10y the
time he reaches the goal he is able to
stop himself without danger.
The underlying motive of this curious
ceremony is that if the flight is safely ac-
complisheI prosperity is assured to the
crops for that year This sentiment
naturally minimizes the danger Of the
feat, rs it is to every ones interest THAI
it should be safely accomplished Indeed,
a similar motive is AT the bottom of GER
tain religious festivals in Roman Cath
Ole countries.
4 well known example of this is the
fete of the Scoppio nj Florence, when a
dove, albeit an artificial one, performs an
aerial flight of somewhat similar ma
ture on wire stretched from the summit
of the high altar of the cathedral to an
OK wagon filled with fireworks which is
stationed in front of the west door. The
Himalayan ceremony can be traced back
for hundreds Of years, and the men who
perform the feat form n small distinct
caste.--Chambers Journal
