THE LIGHTNING HARNESSED. Th5 Great Western railway of Eng; land \3 lighting its corridor trains by electricity obtained from dynaxnoa driven from t~e car axle. Storage batteries are carried for use when the running speed is slow and for stops. By arrangement with the two governments of France and Germany, a telephone service has been inaugurated between Paris, Frankfort and Berlin. The charge for the use of the wire between Frankfort and Paris is 80 cents for three minutes, and between Paris and Berlin $1.25 for the same time. In an ascension made recently by Messrs. Yallot and Jean and Louis Lecarme it was found, according to a note in Cosmos, that it is possible to communicate by wireless telegraphy between the earth and a freely rising balloon at great distances, without any conductor from the balloon to the ground. A new submarine cable is about to be laid between. England and Germany. This is the fifth cable, and a comprehensive idea of the increase in the cable traffic betweenthe two countries may be gathered from the fact that, whereas in 1896, when the fourth cable was laid, the annual number of cablegrams was 1,867,868 per annum, no less than 2,465,613 cablegrams are now annually transmitted. Fifty years ago, on August 28,1850, the first submarine cable message i; was sent from Cape Grisnez in France to Dover. A wire insulated by a gutta percha covering wias run across the channel from the Admiralty pier at Dover to prove that messages could be sent, and the following year the first strongcable was laid. Mr. Charles Wollaston, one of the party that laid the first wire, is still alive, and said that the first message under the sea was to his wife and said: “All right at Grisnez, home about ten.”

A LITTLE OF ALL SORTS, A lion places its head near the ground when roaring. More than 15,000,000 visits are paid annually to London pawn shops. The 24 o’clock system is to be intro* duced throughout Spain on January 1. It is estimated that the population of Europe doubles itself every 660 years. The laughter cure is*.the latest for indigestion. Here is a hint for cynics and pessimists. There are said to be over 400,000 cats in London, of which half are “unattached.” Oats are not raised in China, and not fed to horses except to racers in the training season. Alaska’s reindeer herd, considered a failure at first, now numbers 700, and is increasing rapidly. The Abyssinian war medal is the smallest war decoration issued duding the queen’s reign. All the street railways in Munich are now electric, and the uniform price for a ride is 8% cents. When a new ambassador arrives in Lbndon he visits the queen before hi sees anyone else.

FEEDING THE CALVES, OMcrlptto* of ■ Method That lo Recommended by the Xorth Car* ollno Experiment Station. Milk from many dairy cows is too f/ch in butter fat to feed to calves. Besides being wasteful of butter, so much fat is not needed and may darange the digestion of the calf. Average cow’s milk contains about 3.5 per cent. fat. This amount of fat being natural to the calf does it no harm. But the calf ean thrive on less fat, which nts^y be obtained from some other source than natural mother’s milk. The difference in market value between milk fat and such faf as may be supplied, may be so great as to leave a good profit for the feeder. The substitution of skim milk and “old process” linseed meal gruel for mother’s milk by easy stages is possible, and has been accomplished at the station with gratifying results. The young ealf^is taught to drink freshly 'drawn mother’s milk at one to four days’ old. The gruel is prepared by scalding the meal in water, using one part of meal to seven parts of water by weight. The change is of skimmed milk and one-fourth pound of the linseed meal gruel at every successive feed, if the calf appears well and digestion is not impairedi. Calves should be closely watched and the amount of gruel or food varied to suit the individual. A few ounces of ground oats and good fine hay should be kept within the calf’s reach at all times until it eats both, then regular feeds should be supplied the same as of milk and gruel. A little green food may be offered, if possible, or if in Summer the' calves may be turned into a small shady pasture.—North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station.

ANOTHER DAIRY FRAUD. What Process Butter 1s Made Of and How the Nasty Staff Is Prepared for Market. The Pennsylvania experiment station has published the following * ©a how process butter is made: This product is acomparatively new competitor of creamery butter, and it ois country butter of various degrees of ranpidness and color (that is, so rank in t&ste, smell and appearance as to be unsalable for direct consumption). It is thrown into a tank surrounded with water at a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or over, and melted. When the mass has become thoroughly malted the vat is skimmed, leaving the butter fat at the bottom. It is now removed to another vat similar in construction to the first. The mass at this stage of the process has a very bad odor. The next step is to remove this disagreeable and disgusting srfiell. This is done by pumping the fat up in a pipe by means of a rotary pump and discharging it into the vat again through a strainer, which allows it to fall into small streams. The exposure of the fat to the air for some time removes the odor. After the fat has been sufficiently aerated in this manner it is ready for the next step. This is the adoring of about one-fourth as much skim milk as there is fat. A perfect emulsion of the fat and skim milk is made by the same pumping operation, except that the strainer is removed. The emulsion is then run into a vat of. ice water, where it is quickly chilled, taking the granular form and looking like butter before it is salted and worked. It is now salted and worked and printed or packed in tubs readay for the market. PORTABLE FEED RACK. Kansu Farmers Think It Is the Beat Device of Its Kind They Have Ever Tried.

The framework is mostly of two by four lumber, txcept the runners, which are two by six inches. A Difference in Results. The value of a good cow compared with a poor one may be shown by the test made at the €$ew Jersey experimental station. With milk at oue cent per pound the best cow gave a profit of $49.75, while the poorest cow gave a profit of only 13 cents. With butter at 20 cents a pound the best cow gave a profit of $46.64, while the poorest cow gave a profit of only $5.84 for one year. The cow, more than the food, duces the profit.

PUT $5 IN CONTRIBUTION BOX. tmc Man Who Got Kol« of th« Wrong Piece of Money la Chareh. Just before the contribution box was passed around in a lashionable South side church the attention of x member of the congregation was at- | tracted by a whispered conversation | between two young men who occupied | the seat in front of him. He. listened and this was what he heard them say, says the Chicago Chronicle: “Clarence, let me have a dime or a quarter. I have only got a penny and a five-doliar gold piece. I don’t want to put the penny in the box and I can’t afford to put the gold piece in. Lend me a quarter, and I will give it back as soon as I can get this changed when we get out.” “I can’t do it,” said the companion of the first speaker. “All I have is a quarter and a ten-dollar bill. If I lend, you the quarter I will either have to give the ten dollars or nothing. Put the penny in ana make up next Sunday by giving a little more.” “All right,” said his frienu, and just at that time the usher extended the box in front of him. He dropped in a coin and his companion did likewise, and nothing more was said of the matter. After the services were over the man who. had overheard this conversation boarded a Cottage Grove avenue car to come up into the city. After the car had started he noticed, that the two young men who had sat in front of him in church again occupied the seat in front of him in the car. The conductor was coming toward them and they both put their hand in their pocket to get car fare? but the one who had the gold piece

in church said: “Never mind, Clarence, I have that gold piece, and I want to get it changed. I will pay both fares and vou will not have to break that tendollar bill.” This said he drejv his aand from his pocket and extended the coin to the conductor, who took it and then handed it back, saying: “That's not enough.” It was the penny that the young [ man had thought he had given to the church, when in reality he had donated the five->dollar gold piece. The other man paid the car fare and the ! one with the penny said: “Isn’t that tough? You know that I can't afford to give -five dollars to the church. I would if I could.” “It is pretty bad,” said his friend. “If I were you I would go and tell j Dr. «-- the circumstances and I am ' sure he would give it back to you.” “No,” said the \infortunate.’ “I couldn’t do that. I would rather stand my landlady off for two weeks i than think of doing that. No, I gave ] the money to the church; let it gc to-.” A number of passengers heard this j remark, which was made in a rather loud tone of voice, and they all glanced in a reprimanding way at the speaker, who, realizing what he had said, blushed under their gaze and nudged his friend to get off at the next stop. FOREIGN SUBSTANCES. Bow They May Be Removed from the Rye—-Sever Rob Affected Organ. - A natural instinct impels a person who feels pain or irritation to rub the affected spot. When some trifling object gets under the eyelid, one is tempted to rub the exterior of the lid, and thus unconsciously imbed the object in the inner surface, thus rendering its ultimate removal more difficult. Another almost irresistible impulse* prompts one to wink. This operation is apt' to have the same effect. If the lid be .promptly turned inside out, though, danger from both pf these causes will be avoided and ^the discovery of the mischief-making particle may be promoted. It is better to have some one else do the hunting, but if a looking glass is at hand, perhaps the victim can see well enough with the other eye to find the object in question. A correspondent of the Scientific American makes these suggestions: Gently hold the eye open with the fingers and thumb of one hand, while with the other hand dash light handfuls of water in and across it, so as to produce a current of water flowing over all the surface of the eye, l and the nnder side of the lids. The effect of this almost invariably is to push the intruding object from the ey*. The eye should not be rubbed or one lid drawn over the other, or a $ilk handkerchief drawn across the affected part, but the eye should be kept from winking as much as possible, while prompt action is being taken to cause a current of water to pass over the surface of the ball. This method is a copy from nature, for when very fine dust enters the eye nature seeks to relieve it by means of the fluids which moisten and lubricate the eye, and when larger objects enter, and cling more tenaciously, the irritation causes a copious discharge of tears, so that the eye overflows, as nature tries by flushing it to propel along and float away with the current the cause of the irritation. j c

I HE EXPLAINED IT. Vile Mu Who Doesn’t Know Anythin* About Golf Define* n Terns ot the Dane. “What do they mean by ‘two up’ in golf?” the ashed as she put down the paper she had been reading, says the Chicago Times. “Hull!” he exclaimed, in a startled way, for he knew about as much about golf as he did about throwing the boomerang. Still, no man is going to show his ignorance of sports to his wife. “What do they mean by ‘two up?* ” the repeated. 4 *‘Two up,” he returned. "Oh, yes, of course. Well, you’ve heard of ‘topping’ a ball, haven’t you?” “Certainly. “Well, when you ‘top’ a ball, naturally It’a up!” “I don’t quite see—” “Don’t see!” he interrupted. “The top it always up, isn’t it? You never saw the top at the bottom, did you?” “No- o-o.” “Well, there you are. It’s plain as day. When you ‘top a ball it’a ‘one up,’ and when you ‘top’ two balls, it’s ‘two up. Now, don't bother me any more.” “But what it ‘topping’ a ball?” she persisted. “Good heavens! how ignorant you are!” he exclaimed. “Why, ‘topping’ a ball ia knocking it so high that it never comes down. I should think the expression ‘one up’ would make that clear to you.” Why Yucatan Chill Tonic (improved) is Superior to all So-Called Tasteless Tonics.

Fee tor Bank Directing. gp*A stranger got off the car, and, accosting k newsboy, asked him to direct him to the nearest bank. ‘This way,” said the “newsie,” and, turning the coiner, pointed to a skyscraper just across the street. “Thank you, and what do I owe you?” said the gentleman, pulling a penny out of his pocket. “A quarter, please.” “A quarter! Isn’t that pretty high for directing a man to the bank?” “You’ll find, sir,” said the youngster, that bank directors are paid high in Chicago.”—Chicago Tribune.

Every me her possesses information of vital value to her young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thoughtless girl into lie thoughtful woman should find the mother watch lay and night on |*atch and night As she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be, and her children also. When th > young girl’s thoughts become sluggish, when she experienc es headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal imposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes < im, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then die mother should go to her aid promptly. At such a time he greatest aid to nature is Lycfia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial. _The folio wing letters from Miss Good are practical proof of Mrs. Pinkkam’s efficient advice to young women.
