Tho lYlmitnprftiih in I'w. ' Tlio rirnrtioal nso which was mmlf of Professor Ehshft Orny Idlest, in vent ion, thotelnntor;rnrli, lust Friday, in transmitting nntofrrnpu letters from Clevemnci, Ohio, by means of an ordinary telcfirrnyih wire 431 miles to the oflico of a Chieatjo newspaper, amounts, it is claimed, to a demon titration of the fitness of this new it strnment to servo the jmrpose foi which it was designod. Sovou year the inventor has been nt work per footing; the transmitting and receiving instruments, and ho was able to show pomo credilablo results fivo years age when the first pnblie experiments were made. Later nt the World's Fair he mado an exhibition of the powers of his machine, which was considered wonderful, but it was only two months ago that a long-dintanco test was suc cessfully made showing that the in vention had become entirely practical. This test was botwoeu London and I'aris, a diHtanco of over 800 miles, and the results were satisfactory at every point. In this conntry the first practical nse of tho now device was the Cleveland-Chicago correspondence of last Friday. Autograph letters and original drawings wore reproduced by electricity with only a few seconds loss of time at a distance of hun dreds of miles from tho writer, and the copy was exact in every lino and dot, a faithful reproduction. The instruments by moans of which this wonder is accomplished are simple in construction bnt very delicately ad justed. Every motion made by the pencil in tho hand of tho writer at tho transmitting instrument is reproduced by an automatic pen at the receiver, and a perfect copy is the result. Tho advantage of tho device is that it enables any person to send his own messago without the intervention of a skilled operator, and it provides a way for bankers to sign papers or for busi ness men to make out documents in a distant city without tho delay of the mail or the iuconvenience of going there in person. New York Fost. Bee Trees in Florida. Five men went oat to cut two bee trees about four milos from Winder mere, Fla., that one of the party had found the day before. After cutting one tree and taking twenty-seven pounds of honey, a jjuui was placed in position and tho queen bee caught aud placed in the gum. Tho party left foi the other tree, a ilitttanoe of a half mile. On returning to get the bees a little dog that was with them began to bark. On going to see what it meant a huge gopher snake eight feet ten inches long and twenty and a half inches in circumference was found and in his mouth a rattlesnake about four feet long with six rattles and but ton. The large snake had the rattler about half swallowed when found. A large number of these trees have been found in that vicinity this spring About thirty-seven have been cut sinoe the first of March, and about 450 pounds of honey has been secured. Two trees cut last week netted more than sixty pounds of honey. Savan nah News. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot curea all Kidney and liladder troubles. Pamphlet and Consultation tree. Laboratory Hlnghnniton.

Finishing off l)0OTes quiokly lor market is bighly important at times, and never more so than now irhen the continuance of present high prices can only be conjectured. It is a most favorable time, therefore, to fatten and roll not only nil creatures that will make primo beef, but all farrow rows, light oxen or lean steers and any description of neat cattle that can no longer bo kept at a profit. As a rule, the sooner farmer is qnit of snch stock the bettor. Kich pasture and heavy feeding with cotton seed or linseed (crushed or ground), wheat bran, oat meal or corn meal, will pat these cattle in passable condition in a surprisingly short time. Begin with a small quantity when cattle are not used to grain, increasing the allowance steadily until they are taking all they can eat without apparent detriment. Isew L.nglnnd Homestead. A TAVINO BUSINESS. The most salable farm animal to day is a first-class dairy cow. We of ten wonder why more farmers back on the hilly, rough pasture farms do not make a business of raising heifers of good milking strains to supply milk men in the milk-producing counties. Let the milch cow pass the first two years of her life on cheap land and not try to pay interest on costly land until sho is able to give milk. Last year wo told of a Massachusetts far mer who takes his hiefers by rail to cheap pai-tues in Maino every spring, wintering even on grey-hay and oil and cotton-seed meals. These hiefers are sold to milkmen with their first calf. We believe that a man could, in a few years, establish a reputation for good milking stock, aud bo as sured of a steady income. Somo men can make this pay better than ordin ary dairying. Rural New Yorker. ritEMATUUE SOOtNESS OF MILK. This common trouble in hot weather is mostly due to some infection of the milk by acid of previous milkings ad hering to the pnils. Sometimes it may be caused by overhenting of the cows, but rarely. The most common cause is neglect perfectly to clean the pails or milkpans. These should first be cleaned in cold water, in which com mon washing soda is dissolved. A stiff brush is used to clean the corners thoroughly. The vessels are then rinsod with hot water twice, then again with cold, and then turned bot tom upward on a staud in a shady place out of doors to drain for an hour or two, when they should be re moved to the dairy room. Before being used they should be rinsed with perfectly pure cold water. It is alleged, and possibly with truth, that in the majority of instances in which diseases have been oonveyed in milk tho cause has been the use of impure water for rinsing the utensils. New York Times. FLANTING TREES ON THIS SURFACE. It is customary to dig a hole for the tree to bo transplanted ; bnt thij is not necessary to success. There ore places where the rock comes so near the snrfaco that there is not room to dig ahole without putting tho roots on the rock. Tho tree may then bo set on the surface of the ground, first re moving or turning over the sod, so that the roots will not come in contact with that. A tree thus planted, with its roots sptead on tine mould and covered with sufficiency of eoil pro cured from a distance to hold it in position, is better fitted for growing than are most trees set in a hole and covered even with tho surrounding surfaoe. Slakes should be driven into the soil beside these trees, and the trees should be tied to them until they become firmly rooted. This plan is of advantage where stag nant water comes near the surface, as the tree is thus put on a mound and is not obliged to extend its roots into the subsoil. Boston Cultivator. CTJBIKO G BASSES AND CLOVERS. The natural grasses, when cut for hay, are generally spread and dried as rapidly as possible in order to secure them in tho best possible condition. The same mothod is not applicable to the clover crop. It requires a longer time to cure properly, aud if exposed to the scorchiugsun it is injured more than the natural grasses, since its suc culent leaves and tender blossoms are quickly browned and lose their sweet ness in a measure, and are themselves liable to be wasted in handling over. Many prefer curing in the cock. Mow clover when dry aud free from dew ; let it wilt, and tho tame duy it is mown fork it iuto cocks which will weigh from forty to titty pounds when tit lor the burn. Do not rake and roll, as that will coinprets it too much, l'loce it iu the buru according to tho weather, but it may bo safoly mowed away while the heads and t-tulku are comparatively green nnd fresh. When fit to curt, the ureen stalks will be found to be destitute, or nearly so, of sup, as tho sap has cundied and the clover will keep. On the day of oart iug turn the cocks over, expose the bottom to the sun an hour or so, and to each ton of hay us it goes iuto the mow add four to six quarts of salt. American Agriculturist.

Thirty years is one generation, and it is estimated that 2J0 generations will take one back to the time of Adam. In theso 200 generations much has been done by mankind in the way nf improvement and muoh of what has been done is now claimed by the modern woman as due to woman- lv influence. Unfortunately statistics are wanting for a considerable portion of the above period, and tho modern woman is forced to base her argument more or less on comparisons and analogy. It may be of interest in this connection to view the progress made by the sex in the generation between tho last two censuses, as shown by official statis tics. Those figures show a remarka ble increase in the number of women as wage-earners in tho professions. A few of the more important classes are tabulated as follows : Women oraployed as 1890. 1870.

Startling as are the above figures, the census of 1900 may be expected to show an iucrease, which, gratifying as it may bo to the woman enthusiasts, will undoubtedly demand the close attention of thoso who aro authorities on industrial problems.

If the liquor traffic, as now carried forward, Is a crime, then, according to the reasoning of Judgo MeOee, all who staud "idly by without any effort to suppress" this truffle, are guilty of the crime of liquor selling, and are responsible for all the evil consequences that flow from the selllug.
