A strange case of telepathy is re lated in Chicago, where Frank Faj Pratt says he was informed of the death of his twin brother, Fred Roe Pratt, at Manila, by some telepathic commnnication three days before the news was received from the Philip pines. It is said that the two brothers al ways have noticed a telepathic sym pathy existing between them, and Frank Fay Pratt has related a number of strange incidents of messages being communicated. Several years ago Frank went to England and on his re turn his first act was togo to a long distance telephone to inform his brother of his safe arrival. After con nection had been made he found his brothel Fred had been trying to reach him by telephone at the same time. He sfeys that the minute his brother died he became aware of a severing of the telepathic chain. The two brothers looked so much aiike that even their parents made mis takes at times, and the likeness was heightened by their dress, which was always similar. Both were lawyers and were known in legal circles as the "Pratt Twins." Until they were twenty-three years old they never werf away from each other a single night. What Do (tir Children Drink !

Hauling Green Wood. Don't haul green wood. Don't. Half at least of the weight of green wood is water, and if one will only split and pen the winter fuel two weeks before it is needed he will not have to haul the water. It will dry out. Save time in hanling, and the patience of cooks by drying the fuel before hauling it. If you haul it when green the cook must bum it green, and green wood injures the stove, and impairs the cooking and wastes the food. Seasoned wood is a great time and patience saver abont the kitchen. Soft woods are better for the stove than hard; do not make so fierce a heat to burn the food be fore it gets thoroughly cooked. Best Soil for Tom ito Plants. Here is a hint worth remembering for tomato plants: One of the experi ment stations has said that a mixture Df peat and coal ashes is the best soil to set the tomato plant into in the greenhouse. If so, when plants are Bet in the field why not mix a quantity of coal ashes into the hill before set ting the plant or put a mulch of it around them afterward? We think the best results would be attained by mixing it in the hill, as it makes the ground light and porous, and naturally would cause larger growth of the feeding roots. Gardeners often desire to set their tomatoes on moist, strong soil, almost peat iu its nature, and the mixing of coal ashes with it might p.-jvent the vines growing too rank *nd force more development of fruit. —American Agriculturist. Model Creamery flutter Maker. The butter maker is an important person. A good butter maker is rare. He is hard to get and hard to keep. He must be skilled in all the practical letnils and also iu all the scieuce of butter making. He must be able to ainke butter if it is necessary and un derstand all the scientific processes .nvolved in the manufacture. In ad dition he must have tact, that is, the art of rubbing people the right way. Few positions call for more patience and politeness. He must be able to ignore complaints which are constant ly coming to his ears. He must be ible to politely but forcibly point oi\i to the careless patron that he must use more care in producing his milk. Above all, he must be houest and progressive. Conservatism will not auswer in the modern dairy. The conservative is the man who bides in the bushes until the fighting is over and then comes out and does the shouting after the victory is won. Primarily, he must insist upon clean liness in every particular, not only in the creamery but at the homes of the patrons. He must be an upright mau who is a valuable addition to any com munity, for he will be more or less in timately associated with the people of the neighborhood.—J. Van Wagener in at) address before the recent New- York state dairy meeting. Coop for Young Chick*. A model coop for the Leu and young chicks may be constructed at practi sally no cost by taking an ordiuary soap or canned goods box, and sawing out an opening in eud large enough to admit the heu. In front of this con struct a slat coop about three or four feet square, so that the hen may come from the box and have the freedom of the coop as desired. The chicks will pass in aud out of the coop aud will forage around for quite a distance, but will promptly run to shelter at the first approach of danger. The drinking water cup and the feed box should be placed on outside of the slat coop, as otherwise the hen will scratch them over. Laths, if con venient, make splendid material for the coop, two-iuch scantling being used for the corner posts, and one inch strips for two top sides, on which to nail the top laths. Of course, if we do not object to cost, nice little houses, with sloping roofs, may be made, but for all practical purposes, the common square box will till the bill,aud we can raise just as many and just as healthy chicks in this way as with the more elaborate outfits. Don't fancy that the chicks will grow faster if allowed to roam all over r ten acre lot with the hen. They will not, and the danger of having them caught iu a rainstorm or drenched in the early morning dews is over come when the hen is thus confined. Six or eight weeks of this confine ment will not iujure the heu, by which time she will have begun to lay and the chicks will be large enough to hustle for themselves.—Home aud Farm. 111-Kalaured Fertilizers, An ill-balanced or incomplete fer tilizer is one which does not supply all three of the elements of plant food, phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash. Sometimes a material may furnish one, or even two of the essential in gredients, but if all three are not present the mixture may be regarded as incomplete,and what the plant fails to lind iu the fertilizer it must look for in the soil, with the result that if the soil does not contain it, the crop has to suffer accordingly. On the other hand, if the ingredient which is miss ing in the fertilizer is present in the soil, it will gradually become ex hausted through continued croppiug, and the yield naturally falls off in proportion. it is an established fact in fertiliz ing, that one element of plant food cannot replace another. Eachjhas its special function to perform. To il lustrate: If there is enough phosphoric r.cid aud nitrogen ii; the soil to pro duco a 200 bushel crop of Irish pota toes. and only enouch uotash to males a 100 bushel crop, th« yield would not go above the latter figure The element present in the smallest pro portion is what regulates the extent of the yield. In other words, we meet, in feeding the plants, the old maxim: "A chain is not stronger than its weakest link." From what has been said, it can be seen at once that it is both wise and economical to feed crops like animals. No one would think of giving a horse or cow a one-sided food and expect to get a full day's work from it. Every hard-working animal must have proper food and plenty of it. As said before, the three ingredients to make tip a complete food for plants are phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash. Manufacturers embody all three in their mixtures, and the pro portions vary to suit the crops, some requiring more of one than another. The principal point to bear in mind is that one sided fertilization seldom, if ever, pays in the long run. It is much easier to keep up the fertility of soils by using what is needed annually to meet the demands of the growing crop than to build up land which has become run down or exhausted.— Farm, Field and Fireside. Rapid Development of Lambfi. A change of pasture in the fall is good, so they will come into the sheds in fair condition. Have plenty of room in the shed. A room 20x20 feet makes a nice one for 12 or 15 ewes. Have the doors open toward the south so the sun can shine in. Keep them closed at night and in rainy weather. Give them plenty of nice, fresh water every day, with good clean timothy and clover bay, or rowen, and as the lambing time approaches along in January and February, feed them a fair amount of grain, shelled corn, etc., tiuground. Always keep their salt boxes filled with salt and sulphur flour enough to color it. It is a first rate thing to have a new-milch cow just at this time, and a bottle with a rubber nipple handy, so if a lamb needs a little milk it can be easily given. There are always some that need nnrsing. The shepherd can tell by his notebook which ewes are due lirst, so they can be separated from the rest until the lamb is strong enough to follow the mother and she will own it. A little pen in one cor ner, where the ewe cun see the others and they cannot get to her, is all right As soon as the ewes begin to lamb, feed them more milk-producing feeds. Oats, buckwheat, wheat bran, all they will eat up clean, and plenty of fresh water with the chill taken off. Give the hay feed at the same hour each morning about daylight, then at nine or ten o'clock give some corn and oats mixed, or buckwheat or apples, turnips, etc.; at noon, more hay if they have cleaned the racks; at three, some grain or bran, then at dark more hay. Give all they need regularly, but don't overfeed. They will need exercise and turning into the yards if the weather is fair. After the lambs are all dropped and are strong, they will want a shallow trough to eat it by themselves. Fix a creep-hole in the fence or rack, and after the older onos have been enticed through a time or two the others will soon learn the way. They will need a little ground stuff, corn and oats, or rye, wheat bran, middlings or linseed meal, etc. Be careful to give just what they can digest easily, aud not overfeed. But if they are healthy they will consume a good deal and get into the manger aud pick oft' the clover heads, timothy, etc., and eat with their mothers, and thus gain pretty rapidly. They must be in the sun all they possibly can, and as the warm weather approaches,turned into green pasture*, or rye, so they will be ready for market when four or five months old. Begin to sell as soou as they will weigh 60 pounds apiece. The main point is to get them, started quickly. They will need personal and careful attention, so watch the ewes as they drop the lambs, help them if necessary, get the lamb to stand up and nurse, see that the ewe has plenty of milk, and start it for the lamb. Generally the lamb is all right as soon as it is dry and warmed up and has its stomach full, but some times there are twins or triplets. Then the milk bottle comes into play aud some have to be raised on the bottle. The bowels will require watch ing; see that they are in the right con dition, neither bound up nor too loose. A little castor oil for the one, or lamb's cordial for the other, will cor rect them.—Charles M. Beresford, in American Agriculturist. Chunks of Wisdom. A cow must be a hearty eater to be a good producer. Driving cows in a hurry is a money losing operation. A scrub farmer keeps scrub cows. Scrub cows will make a .scrub farmer. Cows do not eat alike nor act alike, and the wise dairyman will make due allowance for all peculiarities. The best dairy cow is the one that produces the most butter fat every twelve months on the least feed. Every farmer should have a tool house aud every implement about the farm should be housed when not in use. Keep a cow waiting for her feed or to lie'milked and she worries, and a worrying cow is not profitable. Be on time with milking and feeding. Farmers who think the dairy methods of their fathers good enough for them had better not attempt dairy ing in these days. Up-to-date dairy ing only is profitable. In many cases a man may have good cows aud not know it, because he has always fed them just enough to get a poor yield. Before condemning a cow, thoroughly test her by increas ing the quantity and enhancing the Quality of her feed. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. Instantaneous photographs taken by M. Louis Boutan with a camera 10 feet under water have shown fishes two yards away, and he estimates that good instantaneous pictures cau be had from a camera submerged 25 feet below the surface. An object, like an irou anchor, that is thrown into the oceau and is free to sink, will goto the very bottom, no matter how deep the sea may be. The notion that at a certain depth the density of the water increases to a point exceeding that of iron, and that the object would there be suspended, is erroneous. Wood crackles when it is ignited because the air expanded by heated forces its way through the pores ol the wood with a crackling noise. Green wood makes less snapping thau dry, because the pores contain less air, being filled with sap and moisture, which extinguish the flame, whereas the pores of dry wood are filled with air which supports combustion. A new artificial stone of Belgian manufacture is made in the following manner: Eighty parts of extremely clean and dry coarse sand are mixed with 20 parts of hydraulic lime re duced to a fine, dry dust; this mix ture is put into an iron box, which is plunged into a boiler of water, and this is hermetically closed. During 72 hours the cooking goes on undei a pressure of six atmospheres, the temperature being maintained at 165 degrees. At the end of this time the iron box contains a perfect homogen ous mass of stone, which rapidly hard ens upon exposure to the air. The time-honored method of glass blow.ing has been superseded in a glass manufactory at St. Helens, Eng land, by automatic machinery which is able to increase greatly the output of the furnaces. The new arrange ment consists of moulds and blow pipes worked by compressed air, and is quite antomatic in its action. The machinery is capable of turning out tumblers at the rate of 5000 per day, lamp ehimneys at the rate of 3000 or 4000 per day, and large articles in proportion. Under the old condi tious the output of a gang of work men in a day would be only 400 tum blers. Lake Superior appears to exercise a greater effect upon the annual amount of precipitation of rain aud snow near its shores thau any other of the great lakes. The average pre cipitation in a year is about eight inches greater on the southern than ou the northern side of Lake Superior. Lakes Erie and Ontario also show more precipitation ou their southern thau ou their northern shores, but the difference is only three inches annu ally. In the case of Lakes Huron and Michigan, it is the eastern shores as compared with the western which get the largest precipitation, but the difference is not great. It will be a source of regret to geolo gists and others that boring has been suspended at the deep well at West Elizabeth, near Pittsburg, I'enn. This well, which holds the American record for depth, lias reached a point 5585 feet below the surface of tho earth, audit was desired to continue the bor ing until the depths of some of the European wells had been surpassed. With the loss of the boring tools, however, operations were suspended, and it is hardly likely that they will be continued. At Wheeling, West Virginia, there is another deep well which penetrates to a depth of 450 C feet, aud recently Professor I. C. White of the West Virginia geologi cal survey has prepared an account of the geological sections through which it passes. In Europe the Reibnitz well with a depth of 6700 feet, is the most famous. American I.aw Schools. The first question that presents itself is, "What is done by our law schools for the study of criminal law?" The answer is not very encour aging. Let ns take those law schools which are of most importance, either by reason of their curriculum or of their attendance. Harvard, with a three years' course,devotes two hours a week for one year to criminal law (including criminal procedure). Al lowing niue months of four weeks each to the scholastic year, and a weekly average of 18 hours, it will be found that the time devoted to the study criminal law (including pro cedure) is a little over 3 per cent, of the entire course. By a similar computation we find that Columbia devotes to crimiual law (and proce dure) a little over 4 per cent, of the entire course, which is about the percentage given by Yale and a little lower thau that of the Universities of Michigan, Cornell and New York respectively. These computations are based upon figures given in the catalogues ol those universities,or kiudly furnished by the deans. Nothing more eloquent of the decline of the study of criminal jurisprudence in our country could lie sited. —G. C. Sperauza, IU Appletons' Popular Science Monthly. At a l>i*a<lvantage. A North Columbus woman has a charming little daughter who is very indiscreet. The other day in the midst af a reception the little girl cried on account of the toothache. Her mother tried to console her. "There, my darling, don't cry. Your toothache will pass away." "How will it go away?" replied lit tle Edith, her voice broken with sobs.
