A Forty-Mile Bridge.

Th 6 great projearof bridging over Talk’s Strait, separating the Island of' Ceylon from the mainland of India, for which such important advantages are claimed, is said to be again under consideration by the government of Ceylon. The strait is some forty-one miles broad at its narrowest point, bei ipg double the width of the English channel, bpt it is very shallow, in many places being not more than six feet deep. Tfie islands, reefs and chan-' nels in it have been recently accurately surveyed and mapped, .and the cost of the work, extending over .sixty-one miles* including the I'amban channel and the Adam’s bridge reef, is estimated to reach some 28,000,000 rupees. The plan of work contemplates the connection est the ends by 145 miles of railtoad with Colombo, the great harbor of Ceylon, on one side, and by ninety miles of road with Modura, the nearest point of the Indian railroad system, on the other. If narrow gauge is Used this be done, it is calculated, for 11,000,000 rupees more.—Engineering.

Thought It Was Garfield's Mother.

The Garfield memorial on the East River drive, near Garfield avenue bridge, Philadelphia, was brilliantly illuminated the other might by the Fairjnount Park Association, and many viewed its beauties for the first time. One good old lady pointed to the martyred President’s bust and asked: “Who’s that?” “That’s Gen. Garfield, ma’am, - ” replied park guard. The old lady gazed admiringly at the figure of Columbia holding the sword, shield and palm, and finally suggested, “And I s’posae that's his mother!”

Vegetable Paper.

From the pith of the maguey plant the ancient Mexicans made a good paper. The fibres were condensed info a tolerably stfoiig fabric by pressure, which accepted ink and color vcSey-Wett? Many specimens of this Mexican paper are to be found in the world’s museums, and in the National Library in the City of Mexico there are a great irfany manuscripts and documents composed of this paper. Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasures of the mind as harrowing and planting those of the earth.—Margaret Puller. f In 1894 Italy harvested 3.549,877,300 oranges, lemons, citrons andbermagots.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofuh down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humdr). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. Send postal card for book. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts * being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.

FARMS AND FARMERS

TU-e Horse Nettle. • This pest of many a good meftdow farm is commonly found from Connecticut south to Florida and .west to Texas; It is very abundant in portions of the prairie .States, especially Illinois and Missouri, occurring not only in fields and along roadsides,, but in the st reets-of cities and on vacant lots and too often in cultivated fields, where it does great injury to crops. Its common name, horse nettle, botanical Solanum Carollnense, does not indicate that this weed is closely related to the cultivated potato, but the botanical name of the genus shows close rela-

A TROUBLESOME WEEP.

tionship. An examination of the flowers shows they much resemble those of the potato./being bluish or whitish in color. The berry, commonly called the seed, also resembles that formed on the potato. 'Die leaves have large prickles on tlie midrib and some of the rarger lateral ribs. They are also slightly hairy. The stem is beset with numerous Stout prickles.- Many of the related'plants of this genus are annuals. but horse nettle is a deep-rooted perennial/its roots often extending three feet or more into the soil. This fact, makes it a very tenacious weed, very difficult to exterminate. For this reason the weed grows in dense patches which are carefully avoided by stock in pastures. I would advise plowing the’land at this season, allowing none of the leaves to appear. The plants should be kept down the succeeding year. Plow the ground again next summer. Sow thickly with rye rnnd thwnettiF, allowing none to grow. Careful work for two seasons should remove it.—Farm and Home.

Growinjr Early Plants. An economical mode of growing early tomatoes, melons, etc., where but a few are desired, to produce crops for home use, is to use egg shells. Break the shells near the small ends, till with rich dirt and plant a few seeds of the kind desired. The shells may be set in a shallow pan or box of bran and placed in the sunlight on warm days, care being taken not to expose them to cold at night. When transplanting simply set the shell with the plant In the ground. The roots of the plant will soon break through the shell. Sheep and Short Gross. Sheep are partial to short grass and will travel over a field of long grass io select the short herbage. White clover is the best Of all the foods for sheep and they prefer it to other kinds. When seeding old pastures, or beginning with the new, white clover seed should be psed liberally. Sheep will seek the shade during the day, preferring to braze, after the sun begins to set, and it Is for that reason that they cannot be shut up at night as a protection against dogs. For Hancititr Milk in Wells. Where Ice is not at liajid, the custom of hanging milk cans in the well, for coolness, isoften practiced. The 11) ob-

tratlon shows a device for bolding four cans securely within the well, with a chance to draw up water between, the cans, the curved iron rods affording this

chance. If the well Is not large enough for a square frame, a stout hoop can be used, thus .economizing space. It Is surprising how nicely milk and many other articles can thus be kept Ln a deep well, even In extraordinarily hot weather. It Is equally surprising how many families fall to use this simple device, which Is so easily made and so very Convenient. What High Hreedinc Hoes. Individual records of noted animals of certain breeds are valuable and Important in many ways. While a farmer may not have a cow equaling one with i high record, yet the records of nbted cows are indications of what can be accomplished by breeds. The breed Is Drought to a higher degree of improvement also by the endeavor of enterprising breeders to suppress existing recirds. It Is the desire to compete atid excel with individuals that has made the reputations of the breeds. Fall Freeh Cowt. The andual yield of milk Is easily 10 •per cent greater from cows fresh in itoe fall than from those which calve

with the coming grass. If well fed and comfortably housed they yield a good quantity of milk all winter,'and as the flow begins to cease materially there Conies the favorable change to grass, and the yield is increased and held for some time. Cost of Growine Corn. I send you the result of keeping an account of the .cost of producing a field of corn, containing fourteen acres. I kept an account of time in breaking, pulverizing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, etc., and charged for the same such costs as the labor could be hired for |ii this locality and board themselves. I could give an itemized .account, but will not take the space. The land, fourteen .acres, was valued at S4O per acre, and a charge of. 8 pi‘r cent, interest was made on the investment. Cost of corn in crib per bushel was 19 cents of <320 bushels to the field. The fodder was estimated at .twenty-one tons, or about one and onehalf tons per acre, and cost in the mow $3.41 per ton. The corn was husked by a “corn busker.” This is the cost should I have hired everything done. The fodder cost in cash, not Including any of my own labor or labor ,swappeel for or boarding hands, etc., $1.93 per ton. The total cost of corn in crib and fodder in mow, including the 8 per cent, interest, was $192.20. The value of the corn at 25 cents per bushel, and the fodder at $4 per ton was $239, .leaving a profit on the fourteen acres 'of $46.80, saying nothing about loss of soil fertility, or barnyard manure applied to the field. The fodder to be worth as much as the corn would Ijave to be worth $7.38 per ton. This -wbuld increase the profit somewhat. One thing—about the- aceaunt shewed tlie—difference-..about.estimating.....-and, knowing. When the eorn_was being husked it was estimated by good farmers at sixty bushels per acre. But when the corn and land both were was found to yield only a fraction over forty-four bushels per acre.—C.L. Hawkins, in Indiana Farm--er.

Salt with Phosphate. It is always a good plan to'put some salt with phosphate drilled in with the seed grain. It keeps the mineral in soluble condition for the roots of the young'grain to take hold of. It also Increases the tendency to fermentation of vegetable or animal manures when used, as it must bp, in small quantities. Large dressings of salt make the soil barren for one or two years until the rains have washed out the surplus above what is needed. For Pickine Fruit. A very useful and convenient contrivance for picking peaches, pears, etc..

is made in the following manner: Take a strong butter tub of the smallest size, and bore a hole in the center of the bottom. In this , hole ipsert a long pole and nail firmly. Now drive a row o>f femall nails around the top edge, and it is ready for use. This will pick as well as one bought

at a store, and costs nothing except the labor of making. Odds and Ends. t When the eyebrows and lashes are scant rub them every night with vaseline. To keep insects out of bird cages suspend from the top of the cage a little bag filled'with sulphur. Always buy small nutmegs in preference to the large ones. They have a much more delicate flavor. Try a penny or large silver piece for readily removing paint from glass. Simply wet it and rub the paint. Sift a little flour over suet when it is being chopped and It will prevent the pieces from adhering together. Don’t forget to offer pure cold water to the baby occasionally. The milk is for food, and is not sufficient to quench the thirst of the little one. To make a cream soup yellow and rich the yolks of eggs are used. The eggs ate first beaten thoroughly, and after the cream or milk has been Added to the soup they are stirred in just before it is taken from the fire. A teaspoonful of borax put in the last water in which clothes are rinsed will whiten them surprisingly. Pound the borax so it will dissolve easily. This is especially good to remove the yellow that time gives to white garments that have been laid aside for two or three years.

Strawberry Shortcake.

Make a good soda biscuit dough with buttermilk, sour milk and cream, or sour milk alone, using soda witli the sour milk, or cream or buttermilk, and baking powder, or soda and cream of tartar if sweet milk is used. Roll about one inch thick and make in a quick oven. When nicely browned slip in on a large platter, and with a very slim, sharp knife divide the cake horizontally into three layers; butter the bottom piece liberally, and put on a thick layer of berries; sprinkle on plenty of sugar and moisten well with sweet cream; then butter the middle layer of the under side and place over the berries; butter the top of this; cover with berries, sugar and cream ns before, and put on the buttered top crust. * Unless this is very tender moisten with cream or cover it with sweetened whipped cream and serve with whipped cream.

Pur[?]e of Tomato.

Cook together one tablespoonful of butter and two tablespoonfuls of flour/' add three cupfuls of coOked tomato rubbed through a sieve, simmer (Jve minutes, pour in a cupful of cream, bring to boiling point, reason to taste, add a quarter of a teaspoonful of soda and serve. t -

Absftrd Attempts to Drove that Mar«hat Ney'Escaped to America. “A family Record eff Ney's Execution,” written by Mme. >Qampan, is contributed io the Century hy a relative of this lady, George Clinton Genet of Greenbush, N. Y. Mr. Genet, in a preparatory note, says: An absurd attempt Iras been made recently to prove in a ptMlshed volume >that Ney was not shot, in 1815, biit eseaped to America, and became a schoolmaster in North Carolina, where be lately died. An alleged facsimile of his writing is given in the book, as well as one of the writings of the old French cavalryman who, it is alleged, when drunk on a certain occasion, declared himself to be the Duke of JSlehingCn. The writing which it claimed is the genuine writing of the marshal seems doubtful when Compared with that known to be his, and the assumed similarity between that and the writipg of the old French soldier of North Carolina is inconceivable. It is absurd to suppose that Ney should have proclaimed himself to be the Duke of'Elehingen. since at the time of his execution he was Prince of Moskowa, and no longer Duke of Elchingen. It is impossible that, as is asserted in the book referred to, Ney should have consented to the subterfuge of being shot at by muskets charged with powder alone, and after falling and pretending to be dead, should have suffered himself to be carried into exile in a strange land. At.the battle of Waterloo Ney vainly sought death wherever the battle was fiercest. With an army of sixty thousand men still left, he capitulated under the walls of Paris, upon condition of general amnesty of offenses both civil and military. These terms were basely violated, and to satisfy the clamor of the returned aristocrats of the old regime, Ney was executed. Wellington could have prevented this crime after the condemnation by the chamber of peers, but did not, for reasons best known to himself. Ney was offered an opportunity to escape, but refused. He asked the soldiers to fire at his heart, and they did. Moreover, at the time when it is claimed that Ney was concealing himself- in North Carolina, Joseph Bonaparte was living at Bordentown, and his house and his fortune would have been at Ney’s disposal. Moreover, after the fall of the Bourbons there would have been no reason why Ney should not have returned to France. In 1832 Eugene Ney, his third son, visited the United States, and went to the house of his kinsman Genet, who resided on the Hudson, near Albany, but never heard of this alleged Duke of Elchingefl. It ig useless to follow these absurdities further. Ney is buried in Pere la Chaise at Paris, with two of his sons and his brother-in-law Gamot. A plain slab marks the place. On the spot where he was executed -stands a monument ejected by the French Government.

A singular story of how Jack Frost captured a burglar comes from Fort Benton, Montana, by' way of a dispatch to the Philadelphia Times. During the severely coltt weather in January Tip Burbank, a notorious robber, went out alone one night to make a raid on the First National Bank of this place. His plan was to enter through a window at the rear of the building and make his way through the offices to the vault. An iron grating protected the window. The night was intensely cold and the streets were line glass, a heavy snow having melted as it fell and then frozen smooth and hard. While Tip was filing the first bar of the grating his foot slipped, throwing him forward violently against the window. As luck would have ft, the fall jerked his mouth open, his tongue was forced between his lips, and froze instantly- to tlie icy iron bars. All efforts to release himself were vain, as, nothing short of pulling his tongue out by the roots would have effected this, and he could not bring himself to that. A watchman making bis rounds found him a half-hour later almost dead with cold. Tip is alive, and safely housed in jail now, but his tongue will never wag again. It is completely and hopelessly paralyzed.

WE MIGHT HAVE HAD WINGS.

Man Reduced ito Ueintr Legs Because the Earth Was So Attractive. If ths attractions of the earth ts-ere Jess powerful our winged tribes ijiight leave received a. much greater development. In virtue of the unquestionable principle known as “the struggle for existence.” these winged creatures, dominatingall others, would ha ye been the strongest. Progress woul<J have been effected alot?,g this line. The-su-perior race, the human race, would have bcen a winged race. These simple considerations, which it may be easy to extend much further, are enough to convince us that our human form is essentially terrestrial, and that the Inhabitants of Mars cannot resemble us. They are .different. .Upon Mars, for example, one might suppose, without scientific heresy. that the remarkable lightness of their bodies may have developed the winged race more highly in the direction indicated, and that the inhabitants of this planet may have received the privilege of flight Does this amount to saying that, for this reason, they must necessarily have ■the fo'Pm. of birds? No. The bats, are they not‘mammals Which suckle their young? Is its'aying, then, that we must imagine them under this form? Not at all. May they not rather be like dragon flies fluttering in the air above the lakes and eanals? As to this point we can Imagine everything and prove nothing. It is even highly probable that the reality is something absolutely different from all our terrestrial conceptions. . On the one hand the lightness of the Martian beings is favorable to their winged constitution. On the other hand, however, the atmosphere is hardly well fitted to sustain them. But still we recall that terrestrial zoology furnishes instances of birds which are very heavy, such as condors and the vultures, and these are just the ones which fly highest in the most rarefied regions of ou© atmosphere; they htive been observed even above ths summits of the, Himalayas, the Andes and the Cordilleras,at elevations of from 8,000 to 9,000 meters (27,000 to 30,000 feet), where they can still soar freely, thanks to the enormous spread of their wings. Nor must we lose sight of the fact that a human being weighing 70 kilograms (154 pounds) would weigh not more than 26 kilograms (56 pounds) If transported to the globe of Mars.— N’orth American Review.

Kind Act Was Rewarded.

Col. F. W. Saxton, of Oakland. Cal., is at the Arlington. “A little incident that came to my notice just before I left home,” he said, “impressed me that there is never any use for a man to act otherwise than as a gentleman, and that it is often a financial gain to do so. “One of San Francisco’s capitalists is Joseph Boardman. It is said that he is 1 millionaire, but to look at him you would not think it. You could hardly say Hiat he dresses shabbily, but he comes very close to it, and appears to a stranger., to be some kindly old gentleman whom fortune has never cared to smile upon; Mr. Boardman’s house is over in Oakland, but his office is in San Francisco, and each morning he makes the trip over on the ferry. “The other morning he.started for the boat, and in his haste he forgot to transfer his pocketbook to his clothes. Of course, he did not discover this until he had reached the wharf. There was no one in the-crowd that he knew or that knew him. He searched every pocket in vain. A young man standing near by witnessed the confusion of the old gentleman, -and, walking up to him, thrust a coin into his hand and moved back into the crowd. “The young man doubtless supposed that he had done an act of kindness to a needy one, and he hastened away, in order to make it embarrassing for his beneficiary. He had no opportunity to get far, however, before Mr. Boardman" caught him and made him divulge his name and address. The next day the youpg man was the recipient of a snug cheek drawn by the millionaire, and making him richer by SIOO than he was the day before.”—Washington Times.

Secretary of State's Salary.

In June, 1752, Mr. Livingston (our first Secretary’ of State, known then as Secretary’ of Foreigfi Affairs.) resigned to accept the office of Chancellor of the State of New York. We do not wonder that .with a salary of only $4,000 he should have Said be was compelled to draw upon his private fortune t,o support the office. That has been the fate of all, or •practically all, of bis successors; for, while the salary of the office has been for many years just twice that received by Mr. Livingston, SS,OOO, the expenditures necessary to maintain the social position which custom has assigned to the office are greatly more than the salary. A Secretary of State, who maintains an establishment and entertains the foreign Ministers and the general public-with,the generous hospitality now expected of him, will owe much gratitude to his major-domo, if at the end of a four years’ term he lias not contributed from his private fortune to the.support of his office a sum greater than the salary he has received. This ip an evil, for it may happen that the man best fitted for the office may refuse It—or leave it as Livingston did—rather than sacrifice a small private fortune to social demands. Dinners were, In Livingston's time, as now, diplomatic agencies, as well As imperative social events.—Eadies’ Ijome Journal.

Which State Can Beat This?

When Tennessee entered the Union as a State, it had about 40.0<X) population, or an average of less than one person to each o: its 42,050 square miles of territory. In 1890 it had 1,767,518 inhabitants, or an average of nearly forty persons to a square mile.» Nearly all this Increase is from the native stock, only 20,029 being foreign born, and only 33,257 of the native born being of foreign born parents.

The generally enumerated in the category of those which the lightning is most apt to strike are the oak, the yew, the elm and.theT Lombardy poplar
