: “JUG? MEDICINE, - Sally oept All That Was Left Over to Use When a Docter Ywasn't at Hand, iz : Up in a litile Vermont town they tcll a story of-an old nurse. She was tae kind of an “old nurse’ to be found iz small towns, who comes, after much urging, to “tend’” & case and wao has many Sairey Gamp peculiarities, relates the New York Herald. _*Miss Sally,” as she was called, was induced to come to the house of the sick woman and take charge. She moved in—cob p‘il})?" batch of starched aprons, knittingand aris 5 . After the good ereature had seen the case. through, she said té the doctor, “Doc, kin'l take my toll?”’ o i “What’s that, Sally?” asked the visiting physician, who had come from the capital city and was amused and a ]itt&e irritated by the old woman’s ways. : ““I mean the medicine?” sajd the nurse c&npl;ufcmly. : o : " “The medicine!” exclaimed the doctor. “What on earth:do you want with the medicine?”’ o : No fifth wheel to a wagon was ever more redundant. than left over medicines. " “] puts it 1n me jug.” replied the old woman slowly, “and then I gives 1t out occasionally wwlien there ain’t no doctor nigh.” " The visiting physician roared with laughter, but sobered down when the story of “Old Sally’s” “jug” medicine was expldined to him.

One of Nature's T-rnge(iies Observed - by a Naturalist During the - Past Summer,

Little is known by the average man of the tragedies which are constantly occurring in wild life. Onewell-known naturalist, indeed, goes so far as to say that no wild animal dies a “natural” death. Now ane then an instance comes to light, like the following, from the New York Sun, which shgws how the life of a wild creature is suddenly snuffed out. The narrator was in a canoe watching a kingfisher that had alighted on the dead branch of a tree on the'edge of the pond. . Suddenly the bird rose and dropped straight down into the water like a stone, ‘and disappeared beneath the ,wr.facé. 1t i‘eappe:xl'ea almost immediately with a fish in its long, spear-

like bill, but it had scarcely regained the surface when it disappeared again with a suddenness that led me to think that something had seized it from below. It did not come up again, and after a time I rowed to the spot where it had gone down to find an explanation of its extraordinary disappearance. Ll L

A dead pickerel about eight inches long was floating on the surface near the shore. It was doubtless the one the kinfgfisher had caught. Soon afterward I sdw an odd-looking object floating near. On éxamination it proved to be a big pickerel and the kingfisher, both dead. P ' One of the bird’s legs was between the pickerel's jaws, the long teeth of which went through the flesh. - The kingfisher’s spear-like bill ran-clean #hrough-the pickerel’s body, from side to side, a few inches below the gills. .

No doubt the pickerel had seiged the kingfisher by the leg as the bird was risink from the water with the small fish, and had pulled it back into the water, expecting to dine upon the kingfisher. The bird had turned in self-de-fehse and riven its sharp beak through the pickerel, inflicting a mortal wound. The pickerel, with bulldog tenacity, had kept its hold on the bird’s leg, and the two had died together.

-~ QUEER KINDS OF EYES. Spider Has Eight Organs of Vision, Other Inscets Have Eyes That Roll Up and Vanish, : ¢ -Look at the next spider you find, and try to find the eight shiny little eyes at the anterior end, some above and some’ put under the edge of what we may imagine to be its forehead. To examine these parts to best advantage hold the spider in twveezers, or it may be better to use a spider killed by being dropped into a bottle of diluted alecohol. These eight eyes vary in arrangement and in relative size in various species of spiders—in some they. may be arranged in two rows, in others in three; some may be véry small and others large and prominent; and so on—but there they are; rather poor eves, near-sighted, looking in several directions at once, and the spider, who can never shut any of them., is sur&to see everything that approaches, unless she is asleep. For some purposes it niay be convenient to have eyes that roll up and disappear at the approach of danger.

(Large 'Eyes in Upper-Row and Smaller ,Eves in Lower Row.) : And these are exactly what the snail has, sjinated at the end of two long and |sensitive palpi, or feelers. WWhen all is quiet their owner extends these organs, and you can see at their tips small round knobs upon which the eyes are placed. But if yeu touch ‘one of the palpi, oreven jar the snail a little, the eyes begin to back into these feelers as the tip f a glovefinger may be turned in, sxd they no longer see the danger. Queer saimal that, which dares to pe¢p-at the world only when it is in ' perfectsafety, and refuses to loak when danger threatens! But the snail neyer had ‘'much reputation for bravery, and therefore has little to lose. But there are many animals whose eyes are not perfect enough to form a complete image, or even parts of an image, but which can receive only a sensation of light and perhaps, in some cases, an indistinet impression of color and among those that can in this way perceive light, it is probable that the sensation is more like what we call heat than it is like actual vision. In .the simplest of these casés, the ‘eye” consists of nothing more than a little mass of dark-coloring matter, known as pigment, placed around the outer edge’ of a nerve. You know how much warmer on a hot day a black dress is than a white one, and a black sunshade seems to collect more heat than does a licht one. In a similar way the little black mass of pigment absorbs the heat 'in the strong light, and by this simple means the animal may be able to perceive the direction of *the licht and regulate its action ncenrdirﬂg‘ly. A greatly improved ‘fm'm of this pigment-eye is seen in a itiny crustacean, that is, a crab-like animal, about the size of a pinhead ‘and found almost. everywhere in fresh water ponds and’ ditches. Tts name is Daphiua. and its head, when ceen sidewice under a microscope, looks like that of a bird, with its large round black eye. Dut if vou see it from above you will notice that “instead of having -two eyes it ‘has but one, and that ene in the center

of the head, and thus upon whichever side you look you see the same eyve: This queer organ does not come to the surface anywhere, which is in this case of no importance, since the head is perfectly transparent; and surrcundings the mass of pigment there are clustered a number of crystalline bodies which draw the rays of light like so many lenses, and in addjtion may catch a little of the color, and pessibly of the form, of surrounding objects. This eye is turned up and ‘down by the muscles shown in the picture, which act mteh like rubber bands, and the eye is constantly cccked up and rolled around as if to search farther into the world of which it can learn so little — From Nature and Science Department in 3t.

. When the Butterfly Sleeps. ° The butterfly is stated by an English writer to sleep on the very top of ‘grass stems, inyariably with its head downward,and its eves looking toward the roots of thc plant. Its wings are folded to the smallest possible size. This is, doubtless, chiefly for protection against cold, but it reduces the dimensions to those of a narrow ridge, making the creature resemble im shape as well as color the seed-heads on surrounding stems, Weird Effect of Snowballs, : A 60-foot well in Brown county, 111, became dry, and so continued for several years.

TROUBLE BEGINS. Trouble begins with the first backache. ‘Backache comes in many forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp stitches, slow exhaustive aches. . Most backache pains are kidney pains. e ; The Kidneys fail to perform the duties nature intends them to do and the warning of trouble comes through the back.. Neglect the kidney warning, grave complications will surely follow.

Urinary # disorders — Diabetes— Bright’s Disease—are the downward steps of neglected kidneys. " Doan’s Kidney Piils cure every iidney and bladder sickness and the cure’ lasts. Read this proof of it:

Mrs. Adam Guntle, residing at 701 South Plum St., Crawfordsville, Ind,, says: “I made a public statement in 1897 saying that Doan’s Kidney Pills had cured a member of our family after he had suffered for years with a weak back and kidney troubles. He took three hoxes of this remedy and was completely cured. Now three .years have elapsed since I made this statement and T am only too pleased to reendorse it. - I have also used Doan’s Kidney Pills myself, obtaining the best.results. I have recommended . this remedy to my friends and neighbors as one which can always be depended upon.” :

. AERATION OF MILK. - —_— . 2 Some Reasons Why This Operation Should Be Performed in a Per- 2 : fectly Pure Atmosphere, . In a recept bulletin of the Michigan experiment’ station, Prof. C. E. Marshall calls attention, among “other things, to the need of performing this operation in a thoroughly pure atmosphere. His conclusions are in part as folloyyise o . * 1. Milk undergoes aeration when exposed to air from the time it leaves the milk duct of the cow until it is consumed or made intv milk products. . 2 This aeration is demonstrated by the reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide-and the increasein the amount of oxygen. T 3. It has been shown that aerating methods which increase the surface of the milk exposed, facilitate aeration greatly. e 3 '4. By this interchange of gases between air’and milk, there is a great opportunity offered for the a bsorption of noxious gases by the milk, unless the interchange takgs place in absolutely

pure air. . 5. Agitation of milk favors the interchange of gases, because of the increased surface exposure. . 6. Odors and taints resulting from aromatie foods, physiological processes, and disease processes may be greatIy reduced permanently: 7. Odors and taints resulting from bacterial fermentations may be greatly reduced, but they will return upon the further development of bacteria.

* 8. Closing milk cans from the air consequently reduces the amount of oxygen supply, therefore must change the conditiens of germ life. Silage in Massachusetts, The value of silage depends a great deal upon the kind of corn and the condition that it is in‘when cut. The past year I have fed from 30 to 40 head twice every day and for five years past have fed ten or 11 months of :the year.. From my experieﬁ(-e well-eared northern corn yielding S 0 to 100 baskets per acre, -cut when just beginning to glaze, is worth fully eight dollars per ton, as it not only takes the place of most of the hay in a cow’s ration, but also supplies quite a share of grain.’ Corn not well eared or from which ears have been picked will make silage worth five or six dollars per ton compared with hay at s2o.—Rural New Yorker. _ Importance of Agriculture. . One of the most striking things developed by the twelfth census is the great importance of agriculture as an industry in the United States. More than $20,000,000,000 are invested in the farms of the country, or more than twice as mueh as in manufacturing. In the matter of products, enly the direct produects of the farm are counted, cereals even being counted as products of manufacture, not agricultnre. In that way the importance of manufactures is augmented and that of agriculture not given its due. Even at such a disadvantage, agriculture proves itself to be ' away and beyond all other industries in importance. : . ‘ Poultry House Requisites, We like a house low down with a dirt floor and a roof that will not only turn the rain and snow, but one that will be warm in winter. We want convenient roosting quarters, enough dight and plenty of room for exercising in storwy weather. When this is provided we have the tonditions desirable and any material or plans that will bring about this combination will be what we want. Occasionally a place will be obtainable when a house can ‘be built on a hillside and the necessary dry conditions prevail. Learning to fit the conditions to the requirements will be the one thing necessary.—Commercial Poultry.,

THE GREAT BIGHWAY. Stron,g"Sentlment in Its Favor Reported from Many Points Aleng ; Proposed Route. : " The proposed New York-Chicago highway, while it may be cohsidered a fantastic project by some, continues to attract attention, and there are those who say its completion is asgured. In large cities along the proposed route much enthusiasm in favor of it is reported. o

At Chicago. F. C. Donald, president of the Automobile club, who is one of the trustees of the association behind the project, realizes the importance of having good roads for feeders to the railroads with which he is connected. [t is the purpose of the association to secure sufficient cooperation to have the rqad built as soon as possible, and itisstated that the government. recognizing the military importance of such a highwa¥y, will lend its support. The conditions vary so in relation to the laws governipg the building and maintenance of roads that these exigencies will be met and remedied. In order to ascertain local conditions, t\voimemf bers of the association are going over the line in an automobile. Stops will be made in each town along the propesed road, and plans discussed-with the lceal authorities. From reports received, it is possible that not more than 400 miles between New York and Chicago will hawe to be built because of existiné pavements, . Eastward: from Chicago to South Bend, Ind., there are good, level roads, mostly gravel, about 11 miles. From that point eastward there are passable dirt roads to Swanton, about 55 kniles. The next ten miles are not reported, but running into. Toledo. ‘are eight miles of level macadam. There are patches of good roads running through Ohio, but from New York state reports are lacking. The rcad through this state will start from a peint on the Hudson at Kingston and follow the line to Delhi. thence to Binghamton and due west, following the marked cut road as it is to Jamestown. Crossing the panhandle of Pennsylvania and touching Erie, the first point reached in Ohic is Connéfhut. Thence west-

ward the route is as previously indicated. Strong sentiment in favor of the proposed highway is reported from many points, and assurance is given by the association behind it that the road will actually be built.—Jamestown (N. Y.) Journal. > ARTIFICIAL PONDS.

Valuable Suggestions fofr Farmers Who Are in the Notion of Rais- ) ing Their Own Fish, The manner of constructing . fish ponds should always be governed-by existing circumstances. In fact every advantage ¢hould be turned to good account, If thereisa natyralvalley or hollow, dam it up at the lower end and thus place the pond on top of the ground;. otherwise a hole in the earth will have to be excavated of the reguisite size and depth. The greatest depth of any pond need not exceed ¢ix feet, this to be at the point where the outlet is placed. Thence it should gradually decrease until the water depth at the head is not greater than two feet. Thig shallow depth is abzolutely required in a breeding pend. It is also of the utmost importance for the durability of the pond to give the dam a proper degree of consistericy and shape. Assuming it to be six feet high for example, the bottom should be no less than 18 feet wide. annd when completed the top should be six feet. Ample size and good measure are really necessary.. for a dam will always wash more or ‘less. Indeed, what may be considered a:very fair. well-rounded? flat dam will, with a few years of waching afid frost loosening. get to be quite lean® and skeleton-like. Make it at least one-eighth higher than ycu want it when it is settled, and never put in any brush or sthmps. or anything that wiil rot cut’ and prevent its compact settling. Use inktead the best earthin packing arcund the érainbex or pipe. —Epitomist.. ' o HANDY LITTLE DEVICE.

' To Escape Potato Scab, When the soil has become badly infested with the scab fungus it is usually: cheaper to abandon pothto growing upon it for a time at least than to continue the practice. The best system of croping to purify the soil and the length of time which should elapse before potatoes may be grown again with safety is not fully cetermined. The evidence indicates that root crops should Dbe avoided and that grains, including corn, grasses, and especially clover, are the best cleaning crops. The turning under of a green crop, like clover, ~just before potatoes are again planted is especially commended.—Rural World. - Big Crops of Breadstuffs, According to reports there is not likely to be any famine in breadstuffs the coming season, the Euro‘pean crep being reported as 193,000, 000 bushels larger than last year, while the United States and Canada are estimated to have produced an excess over last. year of 239,000,000 bushels. Our corn crop will also be one of the largest, ever produced, but that »f ¥urope is reported ay falling conziderably short. ;
