That Tired Feeling S’l cordially recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla to all who may be suffering with indigestion or Impure blood, no appetite, Run Down feeling, or generally out of order. It will surely help any who give It a fair trial, if there is any help for them. I have found it of great benefit for Rheumatism.

The Circumference of a Circle.

One of the most fascinating studies of the old mathematicians was what is known as the value of “pi”—pi, the Greek letter, expressing the relation of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. If the value of pi could be found exactly, the old prrblem of “squaring the circle” might be solved. That is, the side of a suuare having precisely the area of a given circle might be found. But the value of pi, which is given in the arithmetics approximately as 3.14159, can never be ascertained, exactly. The calculation has been carried to five hundred decimal places without coming to any series of repeating decimals. Mathematicians have now, by means of their modern methods of analysis, demonstrated that the calculation might be extended forever without coming to an exact result. It is not generally known that there are two numbers of three d gits each whose ratio comes surprisingly near that of the diameter and circumference of the circle. They are 113 and 355. They are to each other as one to 3.141592'4 plus, whereas tho value of pi is 3.14J5926 plus. The difference is so small that it would amount to only fifty-sev-en miles in the orbit of the earth. Or, measured by the time it would take the earth to traverse the distance, it is an error of only three seconds in a year.

Delightful Cordiality.

Minnie Hauk annoyed R a veil! very much while playing" Carmen to his Don Jose. For some reason she sud-. denly embraced him in the middle of a high note. He was so furious that he tried to throw her into the orchestra. She held tightly to him to save herself, he shouting to her to let go the while, until her grip wrenched all the buttons off his red waistcoat. Ravelli rushed to the footlights, and shouted: “Look, she has torn my waistcoat ” The audience thought it was all acting, and responded with thunders of applause. After this scene Minnie Hauk’s husband stood at the wings every night, armed with a revolver, ready to blow out Don Jose’s brains if he dared to touch Carmen, while Ravelli threatened her with a huge knife if she attempted to approach him. As Jose is supposed to be madly in love with the girl, it looked verv absurd to see them dodging away from each other all round the -tage.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE. ' How to Have Pare Water for Domeatlc Purposes Horseshoe Without Nalla— General Farm and Household Noles. A Cheap Filter. Our illustration represents a device for filtering water which is within reach of every farmer. There is nothing patented or expensive about it, and it may be constructed by the merest tyro in mechanic The plan is to get two casks—as seen in the engraving—fill the one into which is inserted the spout, or inflow of water, about half full of alternate layers of gravel, charcoal, and pebbles—a layer of gravel first, next six inches of

HOMEMADE FILTER

charcoal, then pebbles, then charcoal again, then a few largerstones. From the bottom of this cask to the bottom of the next have a connection of thin gaspipe, which will rise In an elbow to about half way up the depth of the second cask. The cask is filled with gravel and charcoal, just the same as the first. Thus the water is conveyed from the first cask to about half way up the second cask, and as it falls by its own gravity, undergoes a second filteiing. At the bottom of this cask the water, twice filtered, is drawn off for u-e. Water from a pump, whether from a well, river or tank, may be as readily filtered in this manner as rainwater. Crate for Snipping Live Fowls. Express charges on live poultry being double rates, it is desirable to make the crate in which poultry is shipped as light as is consistent with strength. The illustration, from the Ameri an Agriculturist, shows what is perhaps the best framework for such a crate. An empty grocery box of requisite size may be sawed in the middle, makingjthe top and bottom of the crate, though if the box is at all high, some three or four inches only, of the top and of the bottom should he taken. The corner post of inch and a half pine should be well nailed to the box, and the sides and ends then covered with burlap or cotton cloth. The top may be of slats or of boards, as shown in the sketch. If of the latter, a hole should be cut both for ventilation and for convenience in handling. f-traw should be placed in the bottom, and plenty of oats or wheat scattered into it. If

LIGHT POULTRY CRATE.

the birds are to be shipped but a short distance, no water should be placed in the crate, but if sent a long wav a tin cup should be provided, and notice pasted on the outside that the fowls within are to be watered by the express messenger. If food is provided for a long journey it should be placed in some receptacle so that the birds w.ll not soil it before it is eaten. Do not crowd birds that are to be shipped a long distance. If they are to be on the way but twentyfour hours, or less, some little crowding will not injure them. Potato Bugs Love Sunshine. The potato beetle and larva have made their appearance in England. The London Agricultural Gazette prints a complaint of farmers that they cannot effectively spray with poisons to destroy the slugs, because the spraying only reaches the upper surface of the leaf, while the slug is a great part of the time under „he leaf out of reach of any application. This may be the fact in English climate, where on many summer days the under side of the leaf is often the dryest and most comfortable place the bug can find. In our American climate the bug finds plenty of sunshine and when feeding is always in it. If the larva retires to the underside of the leaf at night it does not then need to eat anything before morning sunshine tempts him to the surface agair. In England, beingso much on the under side of the leaf, necessity may force the larva to the habit of eating there. Hut in a climate thus damp and cool the potato bug will not rapidly increase if his insect enemies are encouraged, or at least not destroyed by poisons. Our Fertilizers. For different crops different fertilizers are made in factories As the great natural resources of prehistoric acid were overdrawn, the European agriculturist has utili.ed the finely ground slag of the basic steel process. The farmer depends no longer on his tarn ard, but purcrases his plant food in the most approved form, made in factories from the most unpromising sources of supply. The Atlantic Coast is patrolled by steamers whose occupation is the catching of menhaden or bony fish. After the oil is extracted from these fish, the farmer has a claim on what is left as a s urce of nitregen for bis cropy South American nitrate of soda is another source of nitrogen. The German mines supply him with potash, and the blending of all elements is effected in the fe tilizer factories, whose processes are gui ed by the most exact chemical analyses of their materials. ( Fighting; Peach Yellows. The orchardists of Connecticut secured from the last Legislature a bill for toe appointment of a commission of experts whose duty was to be the eradication of “the yellows,” that disease that has destroyed so many orchards. There are six Commissiun-

| era, who receive 85 a day for thelt services, which are rendered during July and August. This commission is empowered to go upon any man’s property and destroy all trees that ; show any symptoms of the disease. The penalty of opposing the work ranges fro m 830 to «100 fine, wiui or without imprisonment. This disease prevails, more in old than new orchards, but is contagious, aod when once it has gained a loothold, nothing but extirpation will destroy it. | Peach orchards thirty years ago were among the most profitable of the Connecticut farmer’s possessions. This disease destroyed more than three-fourths of them. The Colorof Animals. There is a connection between the I CJlor and character of animals. Al- : though much of the sub.ect is veiled in considerable obscurity, as a general rule it may be stated that vivid, conspicuous coloring a companies st:eiigth courage and often ferocity. The black or red hair and the ruddy skin indicates carb n or iron somewhat in excess, a sanguine temperament, rapidity of thought and action and courage frequently bordering on rashness In the brute creation it is rather character that has modified color in the course of the survival of the fittest. The timid animal, bird or fish possessing the most neutral coloring, lived longest and left most offsprings, and so gradually the conspicuous members of the family were eliminated. This neutral coloring as well as color that changes for protective purposes is the timidity, alerti ness of sense keenness of vision and scent and swiftness rather than strength of limb.

cotomary nails This will prove a boon to horses with sensitive feet, this scheme permitting of the ready removal of the shoe and equally quick application. Barns and Lightning. The frequency with which barns are struck by lightning has set some long-headed person to thinking, and he has figured out that the buildings, being filled with newly-cut hay and grain, become generators of heat, the heat rises in a column several feet above the barn and attracts the lightning, which readily follows a column of moist or hot air. When the building is reached by the electric fluid, slivers fol.ow. The remedy suggested is to throw open the doors as much as possible and let the winds blow through, carrying off the unnatural heat and distributing It. This will not give perfect protection. Nothing yet discovered can do that. But it will prevent the intense heating, the accumulation of heat and vapor, and will consequently break up the danger column to a great extent, and probably reduce the liability by one-half.

White Clover for Pasture. White clover is to short and small to be available for hay making, but we know of no plant that makes s a better or more enduring pasture. Land that is once well seeded with white clover is nevei afterward entirely clear from it. Feeds form in the heads all through the season, and they have the faculty of lying in the ground without injury and growing whenever a favorable chance offers. The plant also spreads by trailing on the g ound and rooting from the joints, as a strawberry will do, whenever there is a soft and moist place to strike its roots into.—Ex. Barm Notes. Cut back the young raspberry canes when they are three feet high and they will have stronger branches than if cut back when full grown. Poultry that is to be used on the table, if continued and fed on corn and clean water a few days, will be found to have the flesh sweet, jucy, aod tender. Cattle should not be shipped directly from the pasture. The more rank and rapid the grass growth, the softer the stock. They should be fed some corn at the last. The Ohio Experiment Station says that the best of old varieties of strawberries are Warfield, Budach, Crescent, and Haverland, and no variety seems to have been found that is likely to supersede them. A thin horse added 100 pounds to his weight in a month when fed three pints of molasses on clover hay daily. There is danger of resultant indigestion, and care must be taken, but it will make horses sleek and fat.

M. A. Thayek says that berry vines, canes and fruit buds grown this season produce fruit next year and die. This year’s growth of plants and buds, then, practically decided the quantity and quality of fruit that may' be expected next year. For this reason the modest vigorous plants should be used in the beginning. Black knot on plum and cherry trees prevails wherever these trees are grown. It can be prevented if all fruit growers will work together to extirpate it Ohio has a law against it, which should prove beneficial. It is as much a matter of legislation as the destruction of thistles, against which many of the States have passed laws, making it an offense to allow them to grow.

The skim milld from one cow is estimated to be worth S2O a year, bo far as its actual proportion of nutrition - matter is concerned it is more valuab e than cream, because it contains the protein and mineral master. Its value on the farm depends on the use so watch it is applied. It should furnish sustenance for two pigs in a year if used in connection with clover and grain.

HOP PICKING IN KENT.

Women Are Better at It than Men, but Their Far Is Small. The working day in the Kent hopyard begins with full daylight, says the National Review. By « o’clock the barns let loose their inmates, and a procession of the pickers wends its way through the meadows and orchards towards the field of labor. There is plenty of water for them if they like to wash: but they are quite content with evening ablutions, and for the most part -tep from under the sackcloth blankets provided by the farmer, stretch themselves, yawn, grumble a little at they scarcely know what, and set off. The women incumber themselves with pots, kettles, provisions and babies. After an hour or two of picking fires are lit among the stripped blue-stalks and a score of simple breakfasts are prepared. The pay they get Is not magnificent It averages twopence a bushel of cleanly picked hops, and the person who can pick twelve bushels in the day Is reckoned a skillful and practiced hand. Women, as one would expect, are better at it than, men. They strip a cluster of the cones in the time it takes the inexperienced man to detach three or four cones only. They talk and sing, too, all the while, in a manner that is highly irritating to certain of the men.

There are all sorts and conditions in the hop garden, so that, while on the one hand you may hear girls chanting improper music hall catches, you have only to listen with the other ear to be charmed by ; the hymns of Moody and Sankey and tho Salvation Army. The men, as I have hinted, work more silently and with a certain moroseness. It is with them that the customary strike initiates in the middle of the picking. Either the hops are too small or the pay Is too little —the pretext is readily found. During the strike the farmer and his family may well be anxious, but the difficulty soon arranges itself, and the men set to again with a few hearty oaths as a relief to their feelings. Among the local agricultural hands In the hop garden one often hears very forcible accounts of the ferocity of the pickers. “They’d as soon stick a knife into you as look at you,” is a iemark that was offered to me from several of them. Yet if they are left to themselves and theh own ways, in so far as these do not affect the well-being of their neighbors and the property of the farmer, they seem sufficiently inoffensive.

improvement that promises to become an immediate success. This is nothing more nor less than the freezing of the Ice into prepared forms instead of rough blocks. Every user of Ice, knows the difficulty and the trouble of cutting Ice for the water pitcher or for a glass, to say nothing of the upheaval necessary in the refrigerator before the ft Ice can bo reached, when it can bo counted upon to split into pieces that are Just what is not required. The new form of ice will tie known as “cube Ice.” It Is obtained by the water being frozen In a machine from which the ice emerges in the usual sized blocks, but “cubed,” or subdivided to such an extent that a tap with an ice pick (not a blow) will be sufficient to break it uu into regular inch and a half cubes, a dozen of which can be dropped without trouble Into the . ice pitcher, or one into a goblet for individual use. On each of the cubes will appear tho trademark of the maker, to serve as a guaranty of genuineness.

The Blood Orange.

The blood oranga, which, according to the best horticultural authority, was first raised by the Spaniards of the Philippine Islands, is a mere variety of the common sweet orange —a creation of man’s ingenuity. It was first seen in the markets of Europe during the closing decade of the last century, where it created quite a sensation. Almost immediately there were heavy demands from al the subtropical countries of both Asia and Europe for cuttings of the trees which bore this wonderful fruit. At present, owing to some edict promulgated from Manilla, no blood oranges are cultivated in the Philippines, the Europeah supply being chiefly raised in Malta. There are probably a score of places in the United States and its contiguous islands where blood oranges are profitably propagated.—St. Louis Itepublie.

Water Your Horses Often.

Feeding a horse principally on grain and driving it five hours without water is like giving a man salt mackerel for dinner and notallowing him to drink before supper time—very unsatisfactory for the man. If you know anything about the care of horses and have any sympathy for them, water them as often as they want to drink—once an hour if possible. By doing this you will not only be merciful to your animals, but you will be a benefactor to yourself, as they will do more work, look better, and live longer. If you are a skeptic aud know more about horses than anyone else, you are positive that the foregoing is wrong, because you have had horses die with watering them too much, and boldly say that the agitators of frequent watering are fools in,your estimation, and you would not do such a thing. Just reason for a moment and figure out whether the animal would have overdrunk and overchilled, his stomach if it had not been allowed to become overthlrsty. A driver who sits in his wagon and lashes his worn-uut, half-curried, half-fed, and half-watered team deserves to be punished as a criminal. '-Our Dumb Animals.

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder In Strength and Value >0 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest Competitor. Tho Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class —greatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined -wherever exhibited in comoetition with otheis. In the exhibitions of lormer years, at the Centennial, at Faris, X’ienna and at the various State and industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World s Fair the examination for the baking powder awards were made by the experts of the chemical division of the Agricultural Department of Washington. The official report of the tests of the baking i owders which were made by this department for the specific purpose of ascertaining which was the best, and which has been made public, shows the learning strength of the Royal to be ICO cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited at the Fair, the next highest fn strength thus tested contained but 133 cubic Inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of 111. The Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent gneater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent, above the average of all the other tests. Its superiority In other respects, however, in the quality of the food it makes as to fineness, delicacy and wholesomeness, could not be measured by figures. It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Royal Baaing Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceed the sales of all other baking powders combined.

A Sympathetic Woman.

Lying on Mrs. Lynn Linton’s table in her sitting-room was a large bundle of manuscripts, upon which i naturally remarked to my hostess: “What a lot of work you have there on hand! Surely that means two or three new books.” “Not one is my own. Bundles of manuscripts like these have haunted my later life. I receive large packets from men and women I have never seen and know i othing whatever about. One asks for my advice; another if I can find a publisher; a third inquires if the material is worth spinning out into a three-volume novel: a fourth lives abroad and places the manuscript in my hands to do with it exactly as I think fit, etc.” “How fearful! But what do you do with them ail? 1 “One I once returned unread, for tho writing was so bad 1 could not decipher it. But only once; the rest I have always conscientiously read through, and corrected page by page, if I have thought there was anything to bo made of them. But to many of my unknown correspondents I have had to reply sadly that the work had not sufficient merit for publication, and, as gently a< I could, suggest their leaving literature alone and trying something else." “You are very good to bot her yourself with them.” "No, not good exactly: but 1 feel very strongly the duty of the old to the young, and how the established must help the striving.

Not So Easy.

When Joachim, the celebrated violinist, was living at Hanover, he took it into his head to learn skating. He went on the ice, had the skates fastened on, and asked the attendant to give him a few directions. “Oh,” said the latter, “it is easy enough, Herr Bandmaster. You throw out one leg and then the other, and off you go.” Welt and good! Joachim threw out one leg and then the other, and flop! there he lay sprawling on the ice. “Oh, ay, Herr Bandmaster,” said the attendant, with a malicious grin, “it is easy enough, but then it’s not quite as easy as fiddling, you know.”

BRAINS IN FINGER TIPS.

An Examlnattoa Bevemla Gray Matter la

the Nerve. of the Bltad. It may not be so generally known that recent post-mortem examinations of the bodies ot the blind reveal the fact that in the nerves at the ends of the fingers well-defined colls of gray matter had formed, identical in substance and in tell formation with the gray matter of the brain, remarks the Chicago Herald. What does this show? asks a writer in the Arena. If brain and nerve are practically identical, is it not plain that, instead of being confined ts toe cavity of the skull, there is not any part of the surface of the body that can be touched by a pin’s point without pricking the brain? It shows, moreover, I think, that, given proper development by recognition and use. a sensation including all the sen ations generally received through the other physical organs of sense may be received through the touch at the tips of the fingers. It proves that a man can think not alone in his head, but all over his body, and especially in the great nerve centers like the solar plexus, and the nerve ends, on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The coming man will assuredly perceive and think in every part, from his head down to his feet. Need I suggest the importance of remembering in this connection how much in cur modern life is conveyed by the hand clasp, or the deep delight that comes to (overs in caressing touches, when impelleii to pat the hands or the cheek of the beloved one or to stroke her hair? It is through the emotional life that our sensitiveness is led from the physical to the psychic plane of sant-aUon.
