Imitative of the Fish. It would probably be found that a smooth surface of iron or steel is about the worst which we can give to our ships. For a smooth metal surface has apparently the property of attracting and detaining the particles of water in contact with it. whether by molecular attraction or otherwise. Thereby the water in immediate contact with the vessel’s side or bottom is drawn along with her, and its particles communicate their motion to an outer circle of particles, and, s 0 cn till a vast mass of water is set constantly in motion along with the ship. This is precisely what we want to avoid, a< the essence of the reduction of fluid friction is to slip easily through the water with the least possible disturbance. Herein lies, as I imagine, the areat advantage of the surface structure of the fish. It would probab y be found by experiment that an exact model of a fish in any ordinary material, as wood, iron, steel, etc., when towel through the water at a given rate, would communicate motion to a straw or light floating object lying near its course, to a far greater extent than would the real fish passing through the water at the same speed Experiment on this point would be easy, and would be as valuable and suggestive when applied to different materials and surfaces as the former suggested experiments on horse power. —Contemporary Review.

Lucretia O. Putnam, of Forristdale, Mass., was utterly miserable and sick. Her spine, liver, heart, and brain were all diseased. The weight of / her body caused terrible pains in L A her back, and it I J was sometimes \ YdV 'ly I several hours be- \ i / fore she could W dress. This (l woman’s trouble was in her womb, affecting her whole constitution. She found new life in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She says: “I am like one raised from the dead. I was sick so long I thought I never could get well. “The suffocating, gasping attacks and awful bearing-down feeling left me, my appetite returned, and my friends wondered at my improved looks. I believe Mrs. Pinkham’s remedies are a sure cure for the misery of our sex” DAD WAY’S n PILLS, Purely Vegetable, Mild »nd Reliable.

SOMETHING HERE THAT WILL INTEREST THEM. flow to Matu> a Good Clod Crnkher—Profit. of Track Farming - A Garden Tool and Storage House—Fruit and PoultryFarm Notes. A Convenient Garden House. The illustration herewith presents a new idea in tne line of garden conveniences—a convenience, however, that will .be appreciated when located alongside of one’s garden, if gardening is made a feature of any prominence whatever. A small inexpensive house close to the garden will be very useful on many occasions

A GARDEN TOOL AND STORAGE HOUSE.

and for numerous purposes. Here can be placed th? garden cart or barrow, the hoes, rakes, shovels, and the forks that are continually needed. Here can be placed the commercial fertilizer to be used as needed and In the upper part can be stored the plant protectors, bean poles and other sticks and stakes that are needed by the gardener. But of special value will such a building be at harvest time, especially if one makes a business of producing a large quantity of any one ftuit or vegetable. It then becomes a sorting house where the crop can be carried and prepared for market or storage.—American Agriculturist. A Wheel Land Measure. A device for accurately measuring off any piece of level land is given herewith. An old wheel from some cast-off buggy or other vehicle is required, and may be of any convenient size. Make and fix the handles as shown, so that the wheel may revolve easily on its axis. To use the device, mark one spoke with a strip of cloth or a dab of white paint, and

WHEEL LAND MEASURE.

roll the wheel carefully along the desired boundary with a stake or other object as a guide for the eye. Count the number of revolutions the wheel makes as the distance is traversed by the wheel, and by multiplying flhe number of these revolutions by the tbe circumference of the wheel the length in feet may be found. To get the circumference, the wheel may be measured with a tape line or string. —Farm and Home. Sowing Clover Seed. Upon farming land that is cultivated by crop ro ation, clover shoufli be sown If it is practicable to do so. For enriching the soil red clover is no doubt one of the best leguminous plants, as it grows rank and: sends ixs roots down deep into the soil However, where a permanent pasture or meadow is desired, timothy should be sown with clove.- at the rate of four quarts of timothy to five or six quarts of clover. The first year the clover will be prominent, the next fear less clover, and tbe third season ’ tvholly timothy. For the benefit of the soil the next season after seeding, wholly with clover, it the medium red variety, it should be cut in June or early in July for bay, and latqr for seed. This double cropping sends the roots deeper in the soil, which is just what is wanted, and is found to be more beneficial than simply close pasturing. Alsike does well, makes good hay, but does not •nrlch the soil like red clover. Alfalfa w.ll be the best for dry climates. Setting Fence Posts. Posts that are to be placed in a clay soli which is liable to heave by the action of frost, will retain their original position longer if they are set in dug holes instead of being driven. Unless all the sharpened portion is placed below the action of the frost, and even then, if at the time of freezing the soil is soaked with water, the action of frost is liable to raise the post upward. However, as soon as the frost leaves the soil a few blows on top of the post with a heavy maul will return it to its original depth, which could not be so easily done if the post Was Square at the bottom, as earth would fall la the cavity. On most soils sharj ened posts are best, and when of durable material like cedar, oak, «r chestnut, and where the fencing material is wiie, a post four in hes in diameter will last as long and be just as serviceable as one six or more inches in diameter, and the cost is usually less. Test for Oleomargarine. Most people can easily distinguish between genuine butter and its various fin-itations by the flavor. But there is an immense amount of very poorly-flavored butter which is no better than oleomargarine. A test that will always distinguish genuine butter from its counterfeits has been discovered by Dr. Hen y Leffman of Philadelphia. A spoonful or two of ®ne sample is put in a narrow cup /and quickly heated to the boiling point. If it is true butter it will boil quietly and foam up in a mass of fine bubbles, often overflowing over the side of the cup. If it is butterine or oleomargarine, sample when heated will foam up but little, but will crackle and sputter aa it

bolls. After one or feRO trials, any one can decide with <• tainty what the sample offered constats ot No fraud can escape this test

Profits of Truck Farming.

An association of farmers in Kent County, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, has sent a comm ttee to investigate the profits of market gardening, or truck farming, as the phrase is, in Lancaster County, Pa. The committee returned to report having seen one farm of eighty acres from one-halt of which a market gardener sold yearly $16,000 worth of fruits and vegetables, and another farm of twenty acres that yielded a gross sum of *B,OOO per year. Another market gardener had a profit of $6,000 yearly from six acres, and still another sells from $15,000 to SIO,OOO worth of products from ninety acres. The committee ;<urges the members of the association to give up peach culture and turn to market gardening. Such a change of policy means almost a social revolution in a community of aristocratic tradition, where lands have been long in family jossession and where laud-holding is a badge of respectability. It means the substitution of small culture for large, and the breaking up of large holdings, because few land owners have sufficient capital to undertake market gardening on a great scale. Movable Yard for Poultry. A convenient portable yard for fowls is shown in the illustration. This yard is especially designed for those who keep poultry in cities, and are not able to let them run in the garden. It is six feet long, three feet wide, and two feet high. It>is made of strips which are thirteen feet long. Five of these strips will

PORTABLE POULTRY RUN.

be needed to make a frame of this size. First make the frame for the top and sides. Two of the frames should be made six by two feet, two three by two feet, and one six by three feet They should all be covered with coarsely woven wire fencing. The illustration shows the frame put together without the wire. These frames are to be fastened together by tbe mortised joint shown at a. and pinned with wooden pins or nails. A door may be put in on one side to suit the one who is making the yard. This yard Is easilj- moved about on the grass or ground. Sharpen Cultivating Tool*. Tools that are used to work in the soil will dull rapidly if there are many stones or if the soli has much grit in it. For this reason they should be ground daily when used- A few minutes at the grindstone, putting a cutting edge on a dull hoe, makes the work easier all the day. Cultivator teeth should also be kept sharp. The cultivator works more easily, and besides they wll not slide over weeds and thus leave them uncut until it is nearly impossible to keep the field clean. Fruit and Poultry. A poultry grower says that tbe fruit grower can combine fruit growing and poultry raising without occupying more land than would be required tor one pursuit, and the results from the orchard and from the hens would be more satisfactory. The fowls can be made to assist in protecting the trees by giving them loose soil for dusting near the trunk of the trees, and placing their drinking water under the trees and feeding them at the base of each tree. Good Clod Crusher. To make a clod crusher similar to the one shown here, which, it may be said la a good one, take three

CLOD CRUSHER.

light poles 4 or 5 in. in diameter and 7 or 8 ft. long; also a plank 12 or 14 in. wide. In front two pieces, 4x4, are bolted across, each piece being notched. This rough evener will crush lumps, even the field and smooth the horses' tracks. Notes. It is stated that 44 out of every 100 persons in the United States are agriculturists, 56 in Canada, 48 in France, 17 in Germany and 7 in Eng- ■ land. Experiments in seeding oats inI dicate that eight pecks per acre is about the correct amount, of seed to use, the largest yield of grain being I derived from that quantity on the i land. Shropshire sheep have performed great service in improving the com- ; mon flocks, but the best mutton I breed is conceded to be the Southdown, though it is not as large in i size as the Shropshire. I Any farmer can Improve his crops by selecting seed from the best specimens every year. .Variety largely influences the yields, and the best varieties are the results of careful selection of seed from the most perfect plants. a distinguished fruit-grower, in an address before the agricultural students of the Ohio State University, gave it as his opinion that you* can sell 5,000 bushels of pears of one kind more easily than you can dispose of one load of mixed varieties. The value of farming land in this country is greatest In New Jersey. Ic 1888 It averaged; New Jersey, $65; Massachusetts, SSO; Ohio, $46; New York, $44; Vermont, $36, Maryland, $32; Wisconsin, $23, and in some W estern States less than $5 per acre. Bran iind linsepd meal should be used occasionally, if for no other reason than that of affording a change of diet. Such foods are also rich in the mineral elements, and serve to supply any deficiency in that direction. Growing animals and milk cows are always benefited by foods that contain an abundance of miner- ; al matter.

DON CARLOS OF BOURBON.

Sketch of tbe Claimant of the Sponlzh Throne. The announcement of the betrothal of Don Car.os to a princess of Bohan is confirmed by a statement in tbe leading organ of the Carlist party in Madrid, the Correo Espanol. Don Carlos is now in his forty-sixth year and is a widower, having lost his first wife, who was a princess of Bourbon and a niece of the Comte de Chambord, last year. S nee 1869 he has been a prominent figure in Spanish politics. He has made several armed efforts to establish his rights to the throne of that .country, and the agitation on his behalf is carried on with unremitting activity by an organization specially subventioned by him. His claims to the Spanish throne are genealogically well founded. He is the direct male heir of the Spanish line of and

DON CARLOS.

It is urged that legitimists have no choice but to indorse his rights. On the death of Ferdinand VII. in 1833, without male issue, the succession passed, according to the legitimist theory, to his brother, Charles V. In 1855 the latter renounced his rights in favor of his son, Charles VI., count of Montemolin, who was succeeded in 1861 by Don Juan, the father of Don Carlos, and Don Juan renounced his rights in favor of Don Carlos in 1868. Meanwhile the throne was ascended in 1833 by Ferdinand Vll.’s daughter, Isabella, grandmother to the present King Alfonso XII. The contention of her supporteis was that the Salic law In Spain had been abolished by a decree issued in 1830 by Ferdinand VIL, but, on the other hand, it is alleged that he was without the right of altering the constitution. The contemplated second marriage of Don Carlos Is not uninfluenced by his position as a pretender. , The princess of Rohan, upon whom

PRINCESS OF ROHAN.

Don Carlos’ choice has fallen, does not belong to either of the royal categories which fill the first two divisions of the Almanach de Gotha, and hence some amount of opposition to the match is to be expected from his leading supporters. The Rohans are a Don-sovereign princely house, although by descent they may claim to consort with the ruling houses of Europe. They are the descendants of the former sovereign dukes of Brittany.

VAMPIRE BATS.

The Panama Variety Is the Pest of Cattle, but Will Not Touch Men. There are some, drawbacks to the Isthmian cattle business that would rather astonish the American cowboy were he to go there. Chief of these is the vampire bat, says a correspondent of the New York Sun. One reads stories of the vampire sucking the blood of human beings, and at least two books by naturalists of repute say that these bats do suck human blood. Vampire bats are found by the thousand in Veraguas and Chlriqul. I asked at every place for a person whose blood had been sucked by vampires, but could not find a soul, and yet people sleep out of dpors without even a blanket to protect them sleep bareheaded and barefooted. The vampire had every chance to alight on the human big toe, as he Is said to do. and while seething the foot with its fanning wings to suck out the life blood. I could not find any such case, however, nor had an observant Englishman, C.Preedy,who had lived twenty years in David, ever found any. But the vampire is the pest of the cattlemen. He is particularly fond of veal blood, but older stock and horses, colts, mules, and burros all suffer. I did not catch a vampire at his work, though I saw hundreds of them, but the cattlemen all tell the same story. The vampire settles somewhere on the back of the beast in the pasture at night, and then, while slowly fanning its wings to and frft, cuts out a circular piece of skin one-quarter of an inch in diameter. Through this hole he sucks the blood till satisfied. One wound would be of little consequence, nor would the loss of blood do much damage, were that all, but a half dozen vampires may feast on one poor calf or on the back of a sad-dle-horse in one night The calf is badly weakened by the loss of blood, while a saddle-horse so served is worthless until the wounds are entirely healed. But that is not the worst result of the bite. The region swarms with a pestiferous fly that soon after daylight finds the wouqd and lays eggs in it. Unless the wound is properly cleaned and dressed with a waxy salve within twenty-four hours after the vampire’s attack, the animal will be destroyed by the progeny of the fly. The percentage of calves thus killed is large, in spite of the watchfulness of the cow-herders.

THE SCAVENGER.

How the Rair-Plcktnff Tribe Utilise Their Dusty "Findings. f "No one has ever spoken df the calL ing of rag-picking and dust-bunting al a very noble one, said William C. Peabody, of New York, who was at the Southern Hotel, to a St. Louis GlobjDemocrat reporter. "At the same time the scavenger performs a most important duty for mankind, and it is to be regretted that he is now becoming very conspicuously absent. Twenty, and even ten years ago the waste paper and rubbish from large stores and factories was exceedingly valuable, and it was a common thing to sell the right to this treasure-trove by tender. Thousands of dollars were paid for these privileges,'seme-of the figures quoted being apparentlv out of all reason. In order to make money on these contracts it was necessary to sort the rubbish carefully and to'remove every fragment. "The paper and the old cardboard boxes were of great value for papermaking purposes and old rags and fragments of cloth were similarly utilized. Now, however, the old copybook maxim that paper is made of rags is a reminiscence only, for wood pulp, certain varieties of grasses, and other substances are much cheaper and more easily obtained. For those and other reasons there is no longer any money in dust, and it is either dumped in heaps on vacant lots to annoy innocent passers-by and spread germs and bacilli in every direction, or else it is burned b,’ the store or factory owners and a great Increase in the amount of smoke emitted thereby caused. lam inclined to think that we underrated the value of the ragpicker and scavenger in his day, and have now to pay the penalty for tlio Injustice.”

Beauty In Age.

A dear old lady of 83 is she who is described by hate Sanborn, in “A Truthful Woman in Southern California,” as “Grandma Wade.’’ She says: I have known several interesting octogenarians, bul.nevof one that snips sed her in loveliness wit and positive jollity. She tftill has her ardent admirers among' men as well as women, and now und then receives an earnest proposal from some lonely old fellow. The last of these aged lovers, when io fused and relegated to the position of a brother, urged her to reconsider the matter und make it a subject of prayer. But she < uletly said “I’m not going to bother the Lord with questions 1 can answer myself.” One day when she was choked by a breadcrumb at the table she said to the frightened waiter, as soon as she could regain her breath: “Never mind if that did go down the wrong way. A great many things have gone down the right way this winter.’ She is inva iably cheerful, and when she was parting with her son for the winter Ae said: ' “Well. John, beford you go„I want to know just what you have left me in your will.’' This little joke turned a tear into a smile. Even when ill she is so brlvht and hopelul that a fr end once exclaimed: “Grandma. I do believe you would laugh if you we e dying.” “Well, ’ she said, so many folks ge to the Lord with a long face I guess He will be glad to see me como to Him smiling!”
