There are in existence in the world
today not less than thirty-three pri-

and they operate, all told, nearly four
hundred cables with an aggregate
length of considerably more than
215,OOO nautical miles. In the trans
atlantic field there are several com
panies which have a dozen or more
/ cables apiece, each corporation oper-

cables. The Pacific Cable Company
that controls the line from San Fran
cisco to Manila has more than 10000
miles Of underwater telegraph line.

Atlantic, a dozen land on the shores

Electricity as Wool Grower.

Prof. Silas Wentworth claims that
on his experimental farm at Rose
Vile, Cal. electricity has proved cap
able of doubling the production Of
lambs and greatly increasing the yield
of wool A flock of sheep was divid-
ed one-half being placed In field
under the power wires of an electric
company, while the other portion was
removed from electric influences The
fleeces of the sheep in the electrical
" influenced field were 20 per cent
heavier and the lambs more than
twice as numerous. This astonishing
foreign Office report suggests new
opportunity for investigation in our
own country, where the effect of cleo
tricity on vegetation has been for
some time receiving attention. The
time may yet come when there Will be
a ready market for cheap current In
the service Of agriculture.

INDICTMENT Is SHARP
AMERICAN SoUTA DSS,wc lixGC
TO WORK WITH HANDS.
Influential Body Makes the ACCUSE
ton. and Seems to Support
II With Facts.

AT an informal discussion before the
Advertisers club of Louisville. Ky,
recently a question was raised which
opened the eyes of those present and
greatly interested them in the sub
ject.
The point was made that modern
American boys are so averse to labor
that soils the hands and clothes. SO
unwilling to become skilled artisans,
AMI so unhappy in an artistic craft
that brings about these results, that
1t Is matter Of much difficulty to get
recruits for the printing trade from
their ranks. When the older work
men die there will be no new ones to
take their places
This complaint was emphasized by
this instance: 1t appears that there
is scholarship offered in one of the
technical schools Of another city for
good printing work, and for five years
1t has been found impossible to find
a qualified young man to apply for it
There seems to be general belief
that were 1t not for our foreign born
citizens there would soon be an end
to high class printing in America
This would seem to indicate a de-
plorable and fatal defect in our sys-
tenn of education. II our boys are SO
determined to be we'll dressed mani
kins only, then young America is in a
bad state, indeed. If there are no
aspirants for a craft that is almost
fine art there must be practically no
young Americans preparing them
selves for the less attractive voca-
tons.
They do these things better in Ger
many. There Is there more respect
for the crafts, and less interest in
purely personal appearance. This is
helped out by elaborate technical and
vocational schools that lift students
above the commercial and merely me-
chanical standards.
Old-fashioned methods. including
apprenticeship. made for individual
ism. Men loved the work of their
hands because it was good, and bet
tered 1t and improved it as a matter
Of pride whenever this was possible
But that time is past Perhaps II,
in some happy way. it could be
brought back America would have
more well-to-do artist craftsmen and
skilled laborers and fewer half-starved
but outwardly smart clerks.-Chicago

Choosing a Vocation.

1t is very certain that no man Is fit
for everything, but it is almost as GER
tain, too. that there is scarce any one
man who is not fit for something.
which something nature plainly points
out to him by giving him a tendency
and propensity to it. l look upon
common sense to be to the mind what
conscience is to the heart-the faith
full and constant monitor of what Is
right or wrong. And l am convinced
that no man commits either crime
or folly but against the manifest
and sensible representations of the
one or the other. Every man finds
in himself, either from nature or edu-
cation-for they are hard to distin-
guish-a peculiar bent and disposition
to some particular character; and his
struggling against it is the fruitless
and endless labor of Sisyphus Let
him follow and cultivate that voca-
ton: he will succeed in it, and be
considerable in one way at least:
whereas, If he departs from it, he will,
at best. be inconsiderable, probably
iidiculous.-Lord Chesterfield.

Rule That Brings Success.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do.
do 1t with thy might" This rule fol-
lowed will bring success to all who
seek 1t. The real foundation Of sue
cess lies In doing the little things
well. Many of us get discouraged and
lose interest in our work because we
think the positions we are filling are
too humble and that we are not given
an opportunity to display our talent
and worth to the world at large.
There is no profit In repining. Just
be faithful to the work at hand. no
matter how ignoble II is classed; the
smallest and least lovely task can &C
quire dignity by the fine and en-
thusiastic performance of It. II We
are not willing to do our duty cheer
fully and faithfully in that which Is
least, there is no certainly that we
could accomplish more on larger
scale If promoted to more promi-
nent position.

GRANGE of glad memories-you travel

Bile scratches and breathing deep OF
the perfume of remembrance.
And yet it Is pretty poor sort OF
traveller who covers the same ground
again and again. The man who gets
the most from his journeys is the one
always seeking the unknown. the un'

is the hope of finding there something
lovelier, something more wonderful
than marks the progress of his past
No improvements are possible on
the Road to Yesterday. Its mistakes
and its barriers must stand always.

inch planks for the sides and ends,
and sheet iron for the bottom. 1t is
six feet long and three and one-half
feet wide, with a depth of two and
one-half feet.
Two hooks are fastened near the
top on one side, with a pair of trace
chains to run under the hog, to facil
itate the turning and Withdrawing
from the tub
1t is placed over furnace, which
is made by digging a trench in the
ground, and when in use place pieces
of wood across the bottom, in order
to keep the hog from coming In con-
tact with the iron bottom and getting
too hot.
/ find that the proper temperature
for good scalding Is from $50 to 1870
degrees, and If barrel is to be used,
the water should be boiling when
dipped out of the kettle, as the barrel
will cool 1t some.
II scalding tub is used, the water
should be cooled by adding a bucket
of cold water before the hog is put in.
To insure a correct heat of the wa
ter. use a thermometer. Small guam
titles of I've, ashes or lime will have
no effect in removing the hair, but
will cause the scurf to come loose
more readily.
A hog hook is almost indispensable,
and if one is to be made it should be
made in the form of a hay or bale
hook. In fact, find that a hay hook
answers the purpose very well.
In handling the hog, stick the hook
in the flesh of the lower jaw, just be-
hind the fork of the jaw bone. How
ever, the hook may be stuck under the
tendons of the hind legs.
Keep the hog in constant motion
while being scalded. and draw it out
to air occasionally When the hair

ESSENTIAL POINT FOR EMPLOYE
TO CONSIDER.
Interests Of the Firm Can Never Be
Otherwise Than Identical With
Your Own.

Conversations with fellow employees
should not be held In an Office during
business hours. unless the topics I'M

tive to the firms interests. Make the
firms interests your own. Remember
the habit of foolish gossip must be
guarded against.
The girl who takes a position In an
Office must be regular. punctual. and

dip each piece in a kettle of boiling
water and let it remain half a minute

borax on the meat side, and hang.
Smoke it four or five days with
hickory chips or corn cobs, then dip

Meat treated in this manner may be

GUARD AGAINST
WASTE in FEED
Farmer Must Systematixe Fed
An2 So That Good R0u4ha4o
Ia Not Refused by
Cattle.

Feed has grown to be so high priced
that wasting 1t seems like squandering
gold; yet the careless feeder wastes an
enormous amount Of feed every winter
when little watchfulness and sound
judgment would save 1t.
When stock are fed a tempting
grain feed before or at the same time
they are given their roughage ration
they invariably become somewhat
dainty as to what they eat, picking
out but the very best of the roughago
and rejecting all the rest.
When this habit Is once formed
stock will often go hungry rather than
eat what has been picked over and
which really is very good feed. There
fore, one must systematic his feed
ing in such manner as to guard
against the habit being formed.
This should in no wise be construct
ed as meaning the feeding OF foul or
musty roughage, but at the same time
we do advise one to feed so as to de-
rive the greatest possible profits, con-
sistent with the good health OF the
herd For this reason We should feed
the roughage before the grain or at q
time when we know the stock to be-
hungry enough to eat all the rough
age containing a certain amount OK

system saves us great quantity OK
