His Wonder,

Mr.. Wardwell conceived the idea
not long ago that it would be fine
thing to take his little son away from
the fiat country in which he had al
ways lived and show him some of the
wonder works of nature. According
iy arrangements were made for TRIP
to Wyoming. and there father and son
went into camp hard by the foothills
of the great mountains.
1t was on the morning after their
arrival that little Edward, who had,
owing to his natural tendency to frail-
ness, been pretty well drilled in the
use of dumb-bells. looked out at the
high quartz cliffs and was filed with
wonder. For a long time he stood
mute and feasted his eyes on the
cliffs, the like of which he had never
dreamed of. At last he turned to his
father asking:
How did they get there"
MIR. Wardwell was busy getting their
breakfast, and his eyes were filled
with smoke. which fact may have
been accountable for his unwilling
ness to enter into a scientific dis
course upon geological formations. In

Simple Remedy for Snake Bites.

DIR. C. G. Harrison a Los Angeles
sends a clipping from the Clinic, CIV
ing receipt furnished by DR.. Allen
F. Stiles of Unaka. N. c.. for snake
bites. He says: "If you get there before
the patient dies. it makes no difference
how badly swollen the part is. Satur-
ate flannel with chloroform and bind
it upon the swollen part. and when
dry apply 1t again. l have never had
to apply but twice, in the worst form"
DIR. Garrison wrote to DR.. Stiles to
know whether he had been correctly
quoted. In his reply. he says that
chloroform, applied as directed. will
allay any form of snake bite within
six hours, and that it makes no differ
ence how severe or bad the case is.
He says it acts in the same manner as
ammonia in bee stings.
This is certainly very simple rem.
edy, and is worth trying.

Thurlow's Lost Temper.


Lord Thurlow. one of the ablest of
English lord chancellors, was a most
uncomfortable man to be associated
with. He never learned self-controI.
and his explosions of temper on the
slightest provocation were appalling
On one occasion, however, one of
ms iordship's confreres. greatly dar-
ing expressed an opinion of Thurlow's
leihper without violating courtesy,
and with wit worthy of Talleyrand.
Lord Thurlow came late to an ;rnor.
tant cabinet meeting, and apolopized
FOR his hardness by saying that he
had a fracas with cabman and lost
his temper.
The colleague answered. quietly:
Lost your temper my lord? con-
graduate you heartily. l hope you
may never find it, for it was the most
Viilainous temper that l ever knew"

ty-ive miles to the south, to beyond
Longs Peak, nearly an equal distance
to the north. Patches of snow are in
plain sight on the mountain crests
during the hottest days of July ara
August, which. after all are never oo-
pressiyely hot at the farm.
The farm comprises thirty-four
acres OF land, worth at the market
price upwards of five hundred dol
lars an acre, about twenty-four acres
of which are covered with an orchard
of well-grown bearing fruit trees and
small fruits, the remaining ten acres
being devoted to gardening. 1t is
neatly kept and attractive, as every
visitor will testify. On the north side
is a wind-break of tall thickly-set Lom-
bardy poplars and orchard and shade
trees break the force of the winds
from other directions. There is no
suggestion of barrenness to awaken
homesickness in the new conner.
To many, as to me, the small size
of the health farm is at first thought
a disappointment. What is little
haven of thirty-four acres as COM
pared with the great ocean of disease
whose victims are spread abroad over
all the world? 1t is, indeed but a
small beginning. But may we not
hope that it shall prove the leaven
that is to leaven the whole lump?
In another respect, l am sorry to
say, it must always break the word of
promise to the hope of many unfor-
tunates. Not only is it too small to
accommodate all who may wish to
come, but it is impossible for it to
furnish work for those whom it does
take sufficient to wholly provide for
their support. OF course the ideal
health farm would be one where ali
could come and make a living by
farming while getting we'll. But such
a consummation can be only feebly
approximated through long years of
experiments. The best that can he
done at present. is to help as many as
possible to re-establish their health in
such degree as will enable them to do
farm work, or other work, on their
own responsibility. No general sys-

The Need of Eoresters.

The new profession of forestry is
to-day chiefly conspicuous for the slim
ness of its ranks and the wide
stretches of opportunity it affords.
Experts are painfully scarce in COM
parison with the demand for their
services. The need may be compared
with that which came with the sudden
development of electric lighting, power
and transportation. Every commun-
ity wanted to utilize these, but the
men who knew how to make them
available could only here and there
be had. With almost equal sudden
ncss-though after long years of slow
and painful educational possesses
the nation, the states, great industrial
interests dependent on continuous
supply of lumber and individual own
ers of forest tracts have sprung to an
appreciation of forestry as necessary

In Jeypore is a famous observatory

an open courtyard full of curious and
fantastic instruments invented and
designed by him.
These Instruments have been al
lowed to go out of repair and many
of them are now quite useless. it being
impossible even to guess what purpose
they served in the wonderfully ac.
curate calculations and observations
of their inventor, but the dial, gno
mons and quadrants still remain of
great interest to astronomers.

Let His Rents &c. Behind.

The late Governor Marcus A. Nor
ton, whose old home in Taunton is
now the Morton hospital, says the BSs-

dress as he was punctual in collecting
his rents. 1t was no uncommon sight
to see him walking the streets without
stockings, the expanse between the
bottom of his trouser legs and his
shoes revealing that fact to the public.
One day as the governor passed
down the street flutter of white be.

mony of the need of repairs in which

work than you estimate from the archi-
tect's drawings or from the prelimin-
AIRY sketches. From the sales of prod
uce and contributions we have supple
mented our income, and have gotten
along very nicely. The average month
ly cost per man at the farm is S3O.Ss,
but none of the men have been re-
quired to pay over $25 per month.

to keep our heads above water. There
