BASSE NEGLECT OF DUTY.: ‘Some of the Things That Are Ex- 1 pected of Men YWho Aspire to 1 - Pelitical Leadership. | To become a political “‘leader,” and to retain tné post successtully, requires eternal vigilance. One politician, quoted by the Cteveland Plain D&ler, says that in the tenement distriets the leader becomes a sort 'of unotficial mayor, guardian and father of his people. He can never igaorve a request. do de so is to offend not only the individual who makes it, but all his reiations. . One woman asked a district leader to take hér baby into his family while the mother went out .of town for a week's visit. Again, he was called up at two o’clock in the morning by a couple of men who had got intoa dispute, and wanted -him to arbitrate: He wa~ expected to see that the poor had coal; to bail out those who were arrested; to secure work for those who were out of employment; to have police fines remitted; to attend marriages, picnies and funerals. One family of voters renounced him permanently because he did not call when seven-vear-old Thomas broke a leg. “But I didn't know he had broken his leg!” the leader remonstrated: “Nure, and you snould have known it.” “But I didn’t even know you kad a son | named -Thomas.” g | “That settles 1t.”! and the father took up his hat. *Tim Sullivan would ' have | know n it.

Reliable Medical Treatment for a Number of Ailments That Are Quite Common. g It is better to give medicine to swine in food. Eut if one wants to dreneh, fasten a piece of rubber hose securely in a bottle containing the medicine, Throw the pig, put a stick in the mouth, and allow the fluid to slowly run down the throat. - Inflammation of nostrils, or cold in the head, is caused by exposure of some kind; a cold, wet pasture, want of dry shelter at night, sudden change from a warm nest to outside cold, ete. A good Warm'mash, with ginger in it, will help in such cases, with good care. If feverish, give a dose of epsom salts, followed with 10 to 15 grain doses of nitrate potassium. ; If your pig’s feet get sore, give a dose of epsom salts, and follow with ten grains of nitrate of potassium two or three times daily, in feed, which will cool the system and afford relief to the feet. Proud flesh between the toes should be touched once with terchloride of antimony, using a feather, If necessary, repeat the third day. To heal the sore use chloride of zine, one dram to one pint of water, Keep the pig warm and dry. :

If pigs are seriously constipated give castor oil direct and not to the sows, But continue to give the sows oil-meal in their food. Feed to prevnet constipation, which is easily done.—Midland Farmer.

WARTS ON SHOW CATTLE.

Two Difierent Ways of Removing Them from Different Parts of : the Animal's Body.

“Many breeders of show cattle are often troubled with warts growing in very conspicuous places on their prize, animals,” says Prof. L. A. Cottrell, formerly of the Agricultural experiment station in Kansas. “We had much trouble with the pure blood stock, and several successful methods were employed in their extermination. In order to experiment on taking off warts a Red Poll heifer was selected on which the warts were so thick that it was impossible to place one’s hand on her without coming in contact with several large growths. We tried two different ways on different parts of the animal’s tiody. On her bhead and shoulders we applied castor oil—well rubbed in—twice daily for a week. Shortly after each application a portion of the wart would scuff off, and in two weeks the warts were entirely cured without any pain to the animal in any respect. On the back and hips of the same heifer we used concentrated acetic acid, applying it with a fountain pen filler, and soaking tie wart up thoroughly after applying grease around the root to keep the acid from eating the flesh. About twelve hours after the operation the warts _could be pulled out easily. This was the quicker way, but it caused considerable pain and irritation, and it is accompanied by some danger of the acid being dropped upon the skin and thus causing trouble.” : , . Sheep Are Fond of Clover, The clover crop seems to be of such supreme value for sheep that it might be sald to bée a necessary adjunct of the successful sheep farm. Kis manysided in value, being excellent for growing lambs, splendid for nourishing ewes #nd high in rank for fattening in the feed lots. At somm stage of the sheep’s life clover feeding seems absolutely necessary to attain the best results:. In additioon to being very ‘wholesome food, it is remarkable that sheep should be so ravenous for every part of it, stem, leaf and blossom.— Prof. J. A. Craig, in Rural World. | Be interested in your work, and half ‘the labor is accomplished.

OLD WAYS MUST GO. The Farmer Who Does Not Adopt the Advanced Methods of the Day Is Sare to Fail, : The man who is engaged in agricultural pursuits at the present day is expected to keep up and advance with the agricultural progress of the world. He must dJdispense with the old methods and adopt the new and later inventions. We cannot raise and fed our stock as our forefathers did a hundred years ago because we are advancing and land is more closely taken up; consequently we must work more on the order of the intensive system. We know it is hard for some farmers, who have been taught and raised to do a thing a certain way, to change to the better methods. It seems to them that it is wrong, and often they cannot be blamed for feeling so. But we must gradually free ourseives from theseé ideas. All the other departments of the business world are advancing, and why should not agriculture advance with it? The whole race of humanity is depending upon agriculture for a living and the trade should not be thought any the less of by anyone. The man who is engaged in other pursuits of life should honor'the farmer, as he must understand that whatever he eats comes frcm him. If the farming class does not advance with the rest of the world it will be to its own Jloss. It is not natural that we should be satisfied to work in the same road we did years ago, or even one year ago. We should strive to do better this year and make an ~ advancement wherever possible. The best, easiest and most practical way to advance ourselves is given in one sentence, namely,—‘“Read plenty of agricultural literature and, apply the facts gained to actual experience.” The farming world would be far behind where it is now if it were not for the heip that has been given us by farm literature. Every farmer should try to make some improvement and advancement every day. Never let your business get the best of you, but get the best of it, and you can best do this by advancing with the rest of t'he world.—E. J. Waterstripe, in EpitOomist. .

AN IRRIGATION HINT.

How a Staten Island Gardener Supplements the Rainfall with Good Effect.

The dry season has enabled me definitely to prove the practicability of an exceedingly simple method of supplementing the rainfall, which is so cheap as to be within the reach of gardeners, while it does not have the objections of diluting and washing away the food off the ground, nor endangering it in case of a heavy rainfall immediately after the watering, as is the case where the soil is flooded by the old methods. I elevate the water to a tank 40 feet high, and for a plot Tan K . . OVERHEAD IRRIGATION. of 400 feet square run a half-inch pipe to the center, as shown in the diagram, making a cross in the pipe at the center and placing five one-fourth-inch stands, as shown by the dots. These stands are eight to ten feet high, and have two atomizers upon the top of each one, which will discharge 20 to 25 gallons of water in the form of a heavy mist each per hour, and give a total of 2,000 to 2,500 gallons each ten hours. The water is turned on only at night, or, if the weather is very warm at six p. m., and turned off at seven a. m. Thrown out so fine, the water is buoyed up by the air, and drifts more as a heavy dew than as rain. The number of atomizers may be dowbled if desired, or only used each other night. I have found 2,000 gallons ‘a night ample for the finest plant growth.—S. S. Boyce, in Rural New Yorker.

Intestinal Worms in Hogs.

Recently while at the lowa Agricultural college the writer noticed the ground in the hog yard littered with excreted intestinal worms. The keeper explained that he had just given the swine their semi-annual dose of worm medicine. He said that it was his observation that hogs were frequently sick as a result of intestinal worms and that many times diseases arising from worms were named cholera. This would the more likely be the case, as a large number of hogs might be sick at the same time from the same cause. Thiscause of disease is too frequently overlooked, especially by the farmer that has only a few hogs and gives them but little attention. When a hog eats well and yet remains stunted it may be guessed that worms are at least a partial cause.— Farmers’ Review. ;

Commercial Fertilizers.

Commercial fertilizers are not very extensively used in the middle west, The lack of interest is due largely to the extravagant claims made for them years ago by chemists and dealers. Now they are better understood. Very frequently they can be profitably used for special crops, and in connection with barnyard and green manures. As the natural fertility of our virgin soils decreases they will become more and more important. Inform yourself concerning them and see if some of your crops cannot be increased by the use of lime, potash salts, phophate or other compounds.—Orange Judd Farmer.

Some Angora Goat Advice.

~ Angcras are at their bést when three years old and should then be sent to the butcher unless it is desirable to keep them longer for their fleeces. After thig age they begin to grow coarse, both in fleece and fiber. No wether should be kept in the flock after it has passed its prime and done its best. Where a number of old wethers are kept in the.shearing flock the average fineness of the clip of mohair is materially lowered, and the longer they are runin the field, the lower goes the standard of the hair—Texas Stock Journal,

The Assinaboine Indians are part of the Dakota family, and were originally a part of the Yankton Sioux. Early in the seventeenth century two factions of the Yankton Sioux tribe had a bitter quarrel, and that portion now known as the Assinaboines separated from the main body, and they have ever since been bitter enemies. They occupy reservations on both sides of the international boundary line between Canada and Montana, and the great Canadian province of Assinaboia is named for them. Like all the Sioux tribes, the Assinaboines were fierce warriors, who neither gave nor asked quarter. in a battle. There are less than 1,500 of them left in the United States at the present time.

WITHOUT THE CAMERA.

Very Little Apparatus Necessary to Make a Perfect Picture of a Leaf.

This is the age of subtraction. We have the horse-less carriage and the wire-less telegraphy, while this article tells of the camera-less photograph, says an article on ‘“Nature and Science” in «St. Nicholas. It is easily made, and consists simply in using a leaf in place of a negative. The young folks who are familiar with printing and developing pictures will at once understand the following directions, and others can readily ledrn: The articles required are two and are inexpensive. - First, a printing frame—4xs is a convenient size—provided with a glass and costing about 20 cents. Second, a can of blue-print paper containing 24 sheets and costing 20 cents. Very sensitive paper is preferable. Take any common tree leaf when it is fresh and green, place face down on a sheet of the paper, put in the frame against the glass and print by sunlight from an hour to half a day, according 1o the density of the leaf and strength of the light. Then wash thoroughly in clear water, changing several times, dry and press—a heavy book does very well for a press. If properly done the result will be a perfect picture of the leaf used, showing exact shape and size, all the veins and the minute structure to an astonishing degree. Probably at first there will be a few failures, but experience will soon teach the time necessary for exposures.

A LITTLE MOTHER.

Touching Instance of Parental Solicitude Manifested by a Tiny Daughter. -

I witnessed a touching instance of a reversal of the natural relations between parent and child not long ago. It was in 'one of the great hospitals. A Yiddish man was being exhibited before a clinic. His shoulders were stooped with premature age, .induced by hard and unremitting toil, and his face, showing above the dark beard, was white and haggard with suffering, writes Edith David in “The Kindergarten of the Streets” in Everybody’s Magazine. Evidently the treatment hurt much, for he cried out in Yiddish in a heartrending manner. He could speak no word of our language, and with bim was his little daughter, who acted as interpreter. As her father’'s cries pierced the room the child’s lips quivered and her eyes sought mine in mute appeal.“ He’s never been sick before,” she said, with a quaint touch of motherliness, “and he was always so good to us.” “You cannot judge of this man’s suffering by his outcries,” the lecturer was saying; “generations of low breeding—" and there was a curl about the great physician’s lips. But irresistibly my eyes were drawn back to the quivering lips, the white, dirawn little face of the child who stood there, the central ‘figure of a picture beneath which might fittingly have been written the words: “And He took a little child and set it in their midst.”

Some Novel Ideas.

In Europe there are a few persons who are certainly of an original turn of mind. One of them maintains that all wrinkles can be removed from a face by the constant application of an electric battery, which is so small as to be almost invisible; another claims that fish can be utilized for the purpose of towing vessels; a third suggests that while a body is being cremated an orchestra should play funeral airs softly in the distance, this being in his opinion the most efficacious method of assuaging the grief of the mourners, and 1 fourth desires to have a law passed that every crematory shall be provided with a room in which appropriate elegies shall be recited by salaried poets while bodies are being burned.—N. Y. Herald. !

A Royal Romance.

“Carmen Sylva,” the authoress, met her husband, the king of Roumania, in quite a romantic way. As a girl of 17 she was running down the staircase of the palace at Berlin, when her foot slipped on the marble, and she would have fallen to the floor below, but at the moment Prince Charles of Hohengollern stepped from an ante-room and cavght her in his arms. -

REVEALS MOISTURE IN AIR.

The Hydrodeik Is an Instrument That Quickly Reveals Extent of Humidity.

The amount of moisture in the air affects sick people and also affects the manufacture of various articles. Everybody feels the effect of moisture in the air. Eighty degrees in a moist atmosphere feels warmer than 90 degrees in a dry ahmosphere. : Air contains moisture at all times. The amount varies from day to day and with every change of temperature. When the air is warm i{ can hold more moisture than when it is cold. When the air is completely saturated and can hold no more moisture it is at the “dew point,” ready to give up somg water if the temperature be lowered. If the air is saturated when near the freezing point, 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature be lowered to about 32 degrees Fahrenheit, there will be frost. This is important to farmers, fruit growers and florists, says a scientific exchange. The hydrodeik is an instrument to tell quickly the “relative humidity,” or amount of moisture in the air at present temperature, and at what temperature this moisture will be. deposited as dew or frost. It will also tell how many grains, by weight, of water in each cubic foot of air and whether the air has high or low electric tension or resistance. )

By knowing the probable temperature leach night dew or frost can be foretold.

The instrument consists of two thermometers placed at each side of a small chart with curved lines. One thermometer has a lampwick tied about the pulb dipping into a small tank containing water to keep the bulb wet.

Evaporation from .any surfaeé¢ reduces its temperature. The wet thermometer will indicate a lower temperature than the dry one,. If there is much evaporation the ikdifference in temperature will be great, indicating that the air is-dry. The relative humidity is low. If there be very little difference in temperature beiween the two thermometers the air is moist and evaporation is slow. Relative humidity is high. : : As a result of calculations curved lines from the degrees of one thermometer to the other intersect. These are crossed by vertical lines, a sliding indicator placed at the point of intersection of ,the line from the temperature of the wet bulb to the temperature of the dry bulb will show the relative humidity. A vertical line will show the degree of temperature the air must bel to be saturated and deposit this moisture as dew or frost. Another series of. intersecting curved lines shows the amount of water in the air by weight in grains per cubic foot. Regnault, a French scientist, many years ago made many experiments on the evaporation of water and capacity of the air to hold water. His complicated tables were troublesome for the average man to use. The hydrodeik shows you the facts at once without the mathematics. It seems complicated to tell it, but very simple for any+ one to understand after seeing the instrument and using it.

' MODISH FEMININE FANCIES.

Attractive Features of Some of the - Costumes Now Commanding Attention.

A round hat with a wide brim and medium crown is made _entirely of quillings of white tulle and has no trimming except a paradise plume of shaded yellow feathers placed on one side near the front.

In the same cshop was seen a hat made of very fine all-over mainsook embroidery. There was a two-inch border around the brim and another around the upper part of the crown of yellow straw. The trimming was white satin ribbon and white doves’ wings, reports the New York Post. Veils are ample in size and rather expensive. Some of them are lace bordered and have embroidered and hemstitched hems. A white chiffon veil in a window had a tiny ruffie of pin plaits of the chiffon.

An attractive hair ornament displayed among other art jewels & a pure white aigrette which springs from a topaz as large as one’s thumbnail. No gold is visible, and the gem looks like a drop of amber light. Three topazes set on fine gold wires appear among the feathers. Near by were a group of exquisite necklaces, mere strings of very small pearls. One had pendants set closely together of moonstone; a second had topaz pendants, and another’s pendants were garnets, pale sapphires, opals, peridots and other stones, all Leautiful but none of any great value. Its effect was barbaric but not at all bizarre. A new lace in an importing house is of Persian make. Some of it resembles Teneriffe, and comes in wheegls of various sizes from very small to the sizz of a silver 25-cent piece. It is finer than Teneriffe lace and is effectIvely used for collars and for inserts. Jet jewelry is being displayed in the shops, but it has not yet achieved any great popularity. Necklaces, chains and dog collars of exquisite workmanship are shown, as well as every concelyvable variety of comb, hairpin and hair ornament. Lockets, hearts and crosses of cut jet look old-fashioned and quaint.

Fan chains of jet or coral beads are pretty. Amber, especially the milky, clouded amber beads, are good, as they go well with almost any color. One of the most attractive fabrics for shirtwaist suits is found only in cne or two Japanese importing hourses. It is a white Japanese cotton crepe, embroidered in red or blue polka dots and French knots. The crepe is 30 inches wide and costs 65 and 75 cents the yard. Plain Japanese crepe in white and light colors may be had for 25 cents a yard, and the crinkly surface makes up well with a touch of white embroidery or heavy lace.

KEEP CHEERFUL AND COOL.

Absence of Worry Will Conduce to ; Bodily Comfort in the Heated Season.

That hot weather is trying to the nerves, there is no gainsaying, but there is a way to help yourself to bear what might be termed ‘“a necessary evil,” and that is to make up your miné that nothing shall worry you, advises American Queen. - Of course, it is very easy to wax eloquent on the subject of “no worry,” but it is equally true that the preacher does not always practice what he preaches. It is easier to give advice than to follow it, but the suggestion given above is the result of experience, and if it works in one case, why not in ninety-and-nine? It will be conceded by all that worry does make every trial less endurable; when the thermometer is in the eighties it is all tha more potent for discomfort. Everybody knows also that worry never does any good and always does harm. Another idea that perhaps is not fully realized is that the disasters which* we anticipate seldom befall us. In other words, we worry ourselves to death over things that never happen. Hence it will be seen by even the most chronic worrier that borrowing trouble is illogicab and silly; that it doesn’t pay and that it aggravates rather than remedies.

When these facts are fully realized it is a surprising thing that we do not ““choose the better part of valor.” Cheerfulness is a positive force, which builds wp; worry a negative force, which pulls down. Realize that things are not in any sense going to perdition and that the world will wag on whether you will it or not, as will also your household and other affairs, and that you and all about you will be the better—and keep cooler—for the absence of worry.
