regiments with four guns and sew
erely fired upon the whole line Of
the enemy at a distance from 200
to 1 900 meters. On the afternoon
Of the same day the Russians ap-
preached the scene of the battle
field with a Red Cross flag for
carrying away their wounded,
which we permitted stopping our
fire.
Our casualties in this engage

were killed and 600 wounded. We
buried with due honor about 700
of the enemy's dead. We captured
six field guns and many rifles.

mated thats the Russians lost two
thousand men in the fighting at ST.
mon Cheng. The japanese sani-
tary corps recovered and buried
seven hundred bodies in the valleys
through which the Russians fought
and retreated. Prisoners and

4 anese advance of last Sunday east
Of Lao Yang, says that one OF the
4 japanese columns, taking advan-
ltage Of the complicated network OF
mountain paths and deep gorges,
actually crept around the rear Of
the Russian position before being
discovered
He explains by saying that the
topography Of the country is So
complicated and scanned with RAJ
vines that two hostile armies might
be within the space Of half mile
without suspecting each other ex-
istence.
In describing the fighting around
simoucheng, the correspondent
paints a picture of soldiers fighting
all day long in the sitting dust and
torrid heat.

WHAT SCIENCE TELLS US.
Left.Handcd Children Should Not Be
Discouraged in Following
Dictates Of Nature.

! have never seen anything but bad re.
suits from the attempt to train children
to use the right hand instead of the left,
when there Is a decided tendency or
habit to be loft-handed Moreover, the
attempt Is never successful. The best
consequences are poor, and are only
awkward mixtures Of the two forms,
which yield COnfusiOns and indecisioha
during the entiM subsequent life, One
is that of a naturally left-hauGed friend,
who, BY arGuous and continuous train
ing during his childhood was compelled
TO write with his right hand. For all
other acts he is left-handed, but he ct9-
not use his left hand in writing, Ar
though now past % years, he has al
ways hated any writing, the mere act
Of doing so, and he cannot do any orig
inal thinking while writing. He is for
this purpose compelled to rely Oh 4
| stenoeraphcr, and then his ideas how
freely and rapidly, If he tries to thilh,
plan or devise and TO write at the same
| time. there Is a positive Inhibition Oh
thought, and he must make sketches
cpiLomes, several efforts, copyings, etc.,
in a painful and most unsatisfactory
manner. The attempt at ambideXter'
ity has been a lifelong obstacle to him
in his professional progress. The chief
centors most closely interrelated in
writing and thinking are thus demons
strably better harmonized when in one
side of the brain. The mechanics OF
neurology are plainly less difficult than
could be achieved by any foolish and un-
successful ambidexterity.-D Gould,

WORKINGS OF HUMAN MIND.
Experiments with the New Mays
Result in Some Amazing Scion
ti6c Demonstrations.

All scientific Paris Is discussing the
recent remarkable researches made by
Prof. Dlondlot, and especially the eN-
traordinary results of his experiments
with the newly-discoyered N-rays.
with the aid of these the profcssoI
has demonstrated that It is actually pos
sibie to look into and through the skull
Of a human being and witness the work
ings of the mind.
1t is a matter perfectly simply, the in
strumcnt employed being nothing more
complicated than a small rectangular
piece of pasteboard, the size of a play Ing
card, one end Of which is spread with .
paste of phosphoroscent sulphate Of cal
cium, This substance, it appears, is
made luminous by the presence Of rays
Of the en- description.
When such a card In a darkened room
is applied to a mans head il does some
very remarkable things. The person
under experiment. Is told 10 talk, ana
keeps on talking while the bit of paste
board is brought into contact with va
rlous parts of his Uranium. 1t shows no
change until a certain area on the side
of the head is reached, when, suddenly,
the luminosity Of the paste becomes
greatly increased, and why? Simply be-
cause this is the area of brain service
which controls vocal speech, In work
ing it gives off a flood Of N-rays which
| cause the sulphate Of calcium to shine,
But this is not all. Prof. Blondlot
has found that by passing the card slow
~ over the head and watching the yaria-
ton Of the luminosity he can outline
with perfect accuracy the speech area Of
the brain surface.
When about "A century ago Geichen-
bach, a scientist Of high reputation.
claimed that he could sometimes see a
sort of aureole OF halo about the heads
of people in the dark, II was suggested
that he was the victim Of an halluclGa-
ton. but It is possible that the phenom-
enon was due TO an emanation OF A-rays,
which may. under certain circum-
stances, become visible to the eye,

USES FOR A POND,
There Are Many Uses FOr u Pond On

VIII Ucalizc.

Probably many a farmer can, like
myself, remember with pleasure that
in the happy days of his youth he
caught many a mess of fish from the
old pond at home, and they were great

soon as | acquired land Of my own, |
began TO make a pond. | was not very
successful, and the brethren may from
my mistakes take warning. AS a first
mistake, | tried to make my pond where
| thought it would add TO the beauty
Of the farm, without consulting the
character of the land upon which it
was to be made, which had a very por-
ous, gravelly subsoil. We had a time
irving to get it to hold water; tried
tromplng with horses, running cattle
in the basin, etc, but could make no
progress. Finally, as the last resort,
q lot Of hogs We're fattened in the
basin. Their heavy bodies upon the
small feet solved the problem and
rammed what little soil there was so
firmly among the gravel that it now
holds. As a p|recaution to anyone who
tries this mode now, | would say that
would fence in the pond, with not
much land around it for them to nose
arouId on, so that they will do more
tramping in the basin, Then have your
corn in q pen In one corner of the in
closure, covered with plank, or some
other portable material. Also have the
floor Of the pen up at a sufficient height
to allow the hogs to get under it, and
take shelter from the Indictment wealth
er. II your pond Is already established,
you ought TO stock it at once with
some good variety of fish il you have
not already done so, Most states have
u fish department which will give the
necessary aid and information in this
direction free Of charge. Another use
for the pond is the annual crop of
ice which may be harvested from its
surface, This will not interfere with
the fish, and, If the pond is not TOO
far away from the house, the iee-house
may be erected upon its banks and the
ice stored in 1t without having to both-
er with hauling. Don't forget the ice
crop.-Cor. Epitomist.

The poultryman who e%ndeavors 10
inform himself regarding the breeds
and their characteristics. as well as of
the art of feeding aud caring for the
fowls. will make fewer mistakes, and
in the end be more successful, than
those who depend upon themselves en-
tirely. There is always something
to learn What may be the truth to-
day may be all error tomorrow. The
intelligent poultryman keeps himself
well informed on all the matters that
relate to poultry, and If he is not sue
cessful at first he soon learns to guard
against mistakes. Each fowl differs
from the Others in the flock, and there
Is often far more difference between
individual fowls Of any breed than
there Is between distinct breeds. In
d~iylduality and the influence Of en-
vironment have to be considered. The
breeder can not afford to neglect the
study of his fowls and of the condi-
tons which relate to their practical
management. There is room for great
Improvement among the fowls of each
established breed, and 1t is by the study
of individual birds that the greatest
progress will be made in the proper Sc
lection of breeders, ms the selection
of individuals is the direction in which
Improvement Is moro generally suc-
cessful.-Farm and Fireside.

HUMAN AND ANIMAL DOORS
Europeans and Americans Have One
Unenviable Trait Not Pos
sessed by 0rientals.

II Is well known that various animals
NOTABLY the horse, dog and cat-haye
each Il characteristic odor by which
they can be recognized. Hunting dogs
follow rabbits, hares, deer and other
game by the sense OF smell, which would
re impossible but for this fact, The
log doubtless has a keener perception
Of doors than most other animals, be-
cause IL will follow the trail OF a particu-
lar person, though that Of u dozen or a
hundred other people cross it. There
is reason to think that a dog Identifies
his owner or a friend more quickly with
his nose than with his eyes.
A japanese physician, Or. Burtaro
Adacki, declares that some human be
ings also have so keen a sense of smell
that they can occasionally tell the ma
lionality Of u stranger thereby. He
goes so far as to assert that Europeans as
a class emit a faint but %porceptible odor-
an odor which he says is not altogether
agreeablc-and that his fellow country
men quickly recognize it. The Chi
nesc, too, arc credited with possessing
this perception. When a Chinaman or
a japanese first comes to live in Eu-
rope land perhaps in America) he finds
the odor almost intolerable, but in time
he becomes accustomed TO it. The yell
low races DO not appear TO have any
such %unenylable physical trait them
selves.
The opinion prevails that the odor by
means of which dogs identify their mas
tiers proceeds from the mans p%erspira-
ton, and that people of the most fas-
tidious cleanliness can thus be recog-
nized. 1t is likely that the smell to
which Or. Adacki refers has the same
source and is affected by diet. 1t has
been asserted that even among tho
white races observers who possess an
acute sense Of smell distinguish solely
by this means those persons who follow
4 vegetarian regimen and those who
eat meat, at times the difference be-
tween these two classes Of persons being
very marked the individuals who
nourish themselves On meat eXhale, un-
der the influence Of the fermentation of
c%utancous sccretions, q much stronger
)dor than yegetarians. EXpcrimenters
in ethnography know that there exist
provincial odors, the odor OF Brunswick
being different from that OF Bavaria,
that of Savoy different from that Of Nor
mandy.
The japanese arc chiefly y%cgetarians,
and for this reason their skin exhales
doors which are scarcely perceptible;
but here clothing plays its role, for if we
superimpose many layers of Tissue close
y around the body, perspiration is pro
iuced. The race and individual color
may also have a certain influence. since
brunettes, blondes and red-haired peo-
pie arc said to exhale very different
odors of the body,

to be frequently met with and some
specimens found there are quite large
Some OF the bears, even when in SER
vice, have a weight ranging from 700
to 1000 pounds. One prize winner OF
this breed in Canada weighed LOO
pounds. and did not seem to find tho
weight an unusual load to carry, indg-
ing by the way he got about. The
demand Of the market Is for a hog
Of about 200 pounds, and the Tam.
worth breeders declare that this Is
more easily obtained OF q large frame
than a small one. Some swine raisers
engaged in the production Of pork
only have crossed the Tamworths with
the lard breeds and have got good re-.
suits thereby. This could not be rec
commended for the production of breed
ers, but in the mere making of pork
is a matter that is worthy of trial.

The secret of farm success is getting
money out of your surplus. Ono mar
will rush into the market with hls
cora and oats and sell il for 10, 10 or
20 cents a bushel; another VIII hold
his for better prices and a little later
will get rs to 30 cents for it. One mar
will sell his hog TO the town butcher
for 2is cents; another will pecdle his
among the people at 6 cents; or bacon
it and sell for s to 10 cents. This Is
the mercantile part CT farming, and IL
the one in which our farmers are most
deficient. Our farmers stand greatly
in need of education along these limos,
To grow a crop Is but hall the battle.
To save and use The crop as food for
man and beast and convert the surplus
into money is the better half of the

THE TAMW0RTH HOG.
The TamwCrth, which is Of EpRIish
Origin, l.. Noted For Its Bu-
con Producing Qualities.

In different parts Of the country the
Tamworth is being met with more
commonly than formerly. This breed
had Its origin In Tamworth, England,
and that region has been noted for
its fine bacon for many years, some
say for a century. The hogs are much
more active than some Of the other
breeds that have been bred more for
lard. and because of this are able to
produce more lean meat in proportion
to the fat than some other breeds. The
color also is pleasing to the eyes Of
s~ome~people, who have always thought
OF a hog as either black or white, The
red IS that of the cherry and is of two
shades. light and dark. As a rustler.
the Tamworth stands at or near the
head. It's long legs and pointed snout
would indicate that it has always had
to do much hunting and digging for a
living. 1t is a hog that is perhaps
more suited to the are il is likely TO
get on some farms than are the breeds
that have been developed to a point
where they have about all of their
food supplied. One great factor in
favor of the Tamworth is that 1t ma.
lures early. IN Canada this breed is

'hEs W."
II is the custom Of many farmers 10
commence feeding ne weorn to hogs as
coon as it is in the roasting ear, maxi
ing It, with the addition of a pasture
frequently Gcanty, the sole feed from
that time until the hogs are finished
for the market. This Is q wasteful
practice. How wasteful. any farmer
can see for himself, says Wallace's
Farmer. If he will pull off an ear OF
corn in roasting ear, hang il mp TO dry,
pulling one each week until the corn
is ready to cut up, and then, about the
1st Of December, when all are thor
ougly dry. shell and weigh the grains
on each ear, taking care that the ears
selected may be as nearly as possible
of the same length and the same num-
Der of rows.
He will then understand as he never
did before that up to the r%oasting-ear
stage the corn plant is simply getting
ready for work, and that its work Of
storing food in the ear is done in a
comparatively short period. If, there
fore, the farmer feeds corn in the roast
ing-ear stage he does it at a great loss.
How great the loss is we will not say,
preferring to allw the farmer TO find
that out for himself by the simple and
easy method above mentioned. We arc
apt TO forget what somebody tells us;
We are sure to remember what we find
ont for ourselves. Tho first objection,
therefore. against this method Is that
it is a very expensive one. Seventy
pounds of dry, mature corn in the ear
VIII furnish about 80 pounds of dry
matter in the grain. IL will surprise
the farmer to find out how many more
pounds Of roasting ears will be re-
duired TO furnish the sam amount OF
dry matter and nutrition.
The second objection is that an all
cora diet from the roasting-ear period
on is not the best thing for a hog. The
hog likes roasting ears: SO does his
owner, but he would not relish them
greatly II he had roasting ears alone
for breakfast, dinner and supper, week
in and week out. While there Is nothing
that will finish the mature hog 70
cheaply in the fall OF the year as ear
corn and cold water, nevertheless up
to this finish all hogs, and particularly
young hogs, require q greater variety
of feed. A good pasture will 30 far
toward balancing this all-corn ration,
but a feed of oats and barley Or ground
rye will still SO further, and while they
cost more. yet We are inclined TO
think that in due proportion with
corn they are a cheaper feed that the
all-corn ration, even when that is but
