The meat produced is of very good quality. —Skim milk in moderate quantities has often been fed to young colts after wean- ing with good results. If the colt has been well cared for up to weaning time feeding milk is hardly necessary. —If the cow's teats are made sore from exposure to cold weather and wet in the late fall weather, an application of car- bonized vaseline after each milking will remedy the trouble, if used when it first appears. —In limestone country there is more danger of pollution of springs and wells than where any other rock formation prevails. The reason is that the lime- stone is the most readily dissolved and open under-ground channels are formed which may carry contaminating material along distance. If on the other hand polluted water percolates through gravel or sandstone for instance, it becomes MIGHTY ARCTURUS. if This Star Were Our Sun It Would Instantly Consume the Earth. The parallax of a star Is Ita angular displacement as seen from two 0p: posite points un the earth’s orbit. The base line employed in this gigantic spe- cles of surveying Is 186400,000 miles fn length, but the calculation is re. duced to the semidiameter of the orbit. The results are at the same time amas. ing and instructive. Let us take the famous star Aree turus, often called the “star of Job” because in the Old Testament the Almighty Is represented as saying to the unfortunate patriarch. who main. tains a certain dignity In spite of his helplessness nud his sufferings, “Canst thou call forth Arcturus nnd his sons?” Many contlicting messures of the parallax of Arcturus have been made, but the Intest made at Yale seem more probably correct than their predeces- sors. They fix the parallax at 0.066 seconds—1. e.. sixty-six one-thousandth of a second of arc. From this it is easy to calculate the distance of the star. It comes ont at nearly 290,000, 000,000,000 miles (two hundred and ninet: trillion miles), This is more than 000,000 times the distance of the «arth from the sun. Having this distance, we can calcu- late the actual amount of light shed by purified in a comparatively short distance from the point of contamination. —Bulletin No. 11 of the Minnesota Farmers’ Library, just issued by the Ex- tension Division of the College of Agri- culture, is devoted to “Dressing and Cur- ing Meat for Farm Use” It contains very complete but simple directions for killing and cutting up of beeves, hogs, sheep and calves; also forcuring and packing beef and pork, the smoking of and bacon, and the making of sau- sage; together with suggestions for the forming of co operative meat clubs. A postal card, addressed to Extension Divi- sion, University Farm, St. Paul, will se- cure the mailing of the bulletin to any one wanting it. : —Consul General Peters, of Munich, says the German method of making sweet pr oh is most simple. The apples, as soon as picked, are forwarded to the factory, where they are washed absolutely clean. They are then torn into small particles and pressed. The juice is then placed in a large air-tight retort, where it is steril- ized; it is then allowed to settle for some days and then filtered, so that the juice is absolutely transparent. The juice is then bottled, a slight amount of carbonic acid gas is added and a space of about an inch left in the bottle to allow for an ex- pansion. The bottles are placed in a car, and this car with its load of bottles is urized, the process taking about hours, the water in the retort being heated to from 150 to 158 degrees, abso- lutely des ng all the germ life that may exist. e pure apple juice thus treated contains one-half per cent. of alcohol and is a most delicious drink, retaining all the flavor of the pure apple cider. | —Domestic fowls are beneficial to farm- | ers in devouring insects, and, besides that are injurious to crops ucts. U of 1200 ve been taken from the crop of one Arcturus, or, in other words, its ac- tual brightness as compared with that of our sun, on the supposition that both were at the same distance from us. We thus find that Arcturus ex- ceeds the sun as a light giver about 2500 times! It is a sun 2,500 times brighter than ours. Put the earth as uegr to Arcturus as it is to the sun and all life would disappear from Its surface as if swept off by a blast of inconceivable heat. The summer temperature would rise to tens of thousands of degrees. The oceans would boil away. Vegetation would be burned up in a twinkling. The eyes of living beings would char in their sockets. The plains and mountains would burst into flame. Minerals would run in molten streams. There would be no comfort for a liv- ing world nearer to Arcturus than about 4,000,000000 miles. If he hae planets he must keep them at a re spectful distance. And yet nearly 300,000,000,000,000 miles from him we can look into his blazing eye and see only a bright star. Still, Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace maintains that this little earth, this tiny attendant of a tiny sun, Is the only seat of intelligent lite—outside of the misty midregion of disembodied spirits—that the universe contains, and Dr. Wallace is a learned man. But his learning is not that which astron- omy offers.—Garrett P, Serviss in New York American. Unavoidable Delay.

Incident In the Later Life of Mra. Alexander Hamilton. A striking Incident in the later life of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, who sur vived her busband fifty years, is told in the wonix of an eyewitness in Al- lan McLane Hamilton's “Intimate Life of Alexander Hamiiton.” Mrs. Hamilton could never forget the behavior of Monroe when he, with Muhlenberg and Venables, accused Hamilton of financial irregularities at the time of the Reynolds incident. Many years afterward when they were both aged people Monroe visited her, and an interview occurred which was witnessed by a nephew, “who was then a lad of fifteen. “1 had,” he says, “been sent to cal! upon my Aunt Ham- {iton one afternoon. I found her in her garden and was there with her talking when a maidservant came from the house with a card. It was the card of James Monroe. She read the name and stood holding tke card, much perturbed. Her voice sank, and she spoke very low as she always did when she was angry. ‘What has that man come to see me for? escaped from her. ‘Why, Aunt Hamilton,’ said 1. ‘don't you know it's Mr. Monroe, and he's been president, and he is vis- iting here now in the neighborhood and has been very much made of and invited everywhere, and so—I suppose he has come to call and pay his re- spects to you? After a moment's hes- ftation ‘I will see him,’ she said. “The maid went back to the house. My aunt followed. walking rapidly, 1 after her. As she entered the parlor Monroe rose. She stood in the middle of the room facing him. She did not ask him to sit down. He bowed and, addressing her formally, made her rather a set speech—that it was many years since they had met, that the lapse of time brought its softening in- fluences, that they both were nearing thé grave, when past differences could be forgiven and forgotten—in short, from his point of view a very nice, concilintory, well turned little speech. She answered, still standing and look- ing at him: ‘Mr. Monroe, if you have come to tell me that you repent, that you are sorry, very sorry, for the mis- representations and the slanders and the stories you circulated against my dear husband—if you have come to say this. 1 understand it. But otherwise no lapse of time, no nearness to the grave, makes any difference.’ She stopped speaking. Monroe turned, took up his hat and left the room.” In this connection it may be said that the oft repeated story of the meeting of Mrs. Hamilton and Aaron Burr many years later on an Albany steamboat is a fiction, but it was prob- ably suggested by the Monroe incident. Hanged For Stealing Golf Balls. Some sharp punishment has lately been meted out to men convicted of golf ball stealing, and one boy was sentenced to six strokes with the birch. The offenders, however, may congratulate themselves that they live in a merciful age. in 1637 at an assize in Banff a lad of the town, having confessed to steal Ing a few trifles, including some golf balls, was actually hanged for the of- tense. The indictment ran that he was “ane lewd liver and boy of ane evill Iyiff, and conversation, and ane daylie remainer fro the kirk in tyme of dyvyne worschip.”” The humane judges “ordanit the said Francis to be presentlie tackit and cariet to the Gal- lows hill of this burgh and hangit on the gallows thereof to the death." — London Graphic.

Life is like a beautiful and winding lane—on either side bright flowers and beautiful butterflies and tempting fruits, which we scarcely pause to ad- mire and to taste, so eager are we to hasten to an opening which we imag- {ne will be more beautiful still. But by as we advance the trees grow bleak, the flowers and butterflies fail, the fruits disappear, and we find we have arrived—to reach a desert waste.—G. A. Sala. Knew When He Was Well Of.

The Grip This Dreadful Disease Takes «remedy I required, removing my trouble Upon Its Victims. The course of the dreadful disease, sleeping sickness, is an extremely slow one. The first stage is said to last a year or more, and the cause of the dis- ease may be in the blood long before any symptoms whatever present them- selves, The patient has occasional fever: indeed, a disease hitherto called Gambia fever has recently been recog- nized as the first stage of sleeping sickness. It Is said that the swelling of the lymphatic glands of the neck is a characteristic carly symptom. This was known in 1803 to Dr. Winterbot- tom, who states that slave traders, recognizing the symptom of a fatal disease, would not buy slaves who had this glandular enlargement. The pa- tient feels well and strong and is able to go about his usual occupations. The second stage is indicated by a distinct change in the appearance of the patient. His expression grows heavy and dull; he becomes apathetic, lies around a great deal and cannot exert himself. With the progress of the disease these symptoms become more marked; walking and speech be- come difficult and finally impossible. During the last week the sufferer lies in a state of complete coma, from which the illness derives its name. Often during the second stage of the disease the brain becomes affected, and some of the patients try to run’ away into the forests or swamps, where they die of exposure or starva- tion. To prevent this the relatives of a sufferer frequently chain him down | until the time comes when he can no longer move.—McClure's Magazine. Some Famous Men of Old. The “nine worthies” were Joshua, | David, Judas Maccabeus, Hector of! Troy, Alexander the Great, Jullus, Caesar, King Arthur of Britain, Charle- | magne of France and Godfrey of Bou- fllon. The list varies somewhat, but this is the most popular one. The “geven wise men of Greece” were So- | lon, Thales, Pittacus, Blas, Cleobolus, Myson and Chellon of Sparta. The supposition is, of course, that these were not the only wise men in Greece, ! but the wisest.—New York American. | To Make Him Sleep. «Unfit for duty because of insom- nla” was the record of a New York | policeman for several weeks. : Inspector Byrnes sent for the man | and gave him a little bit of advice, | thus: “Tonight, about midnight, put | on your uniform, belt, bat, revolver, ! take night stick in hand and go to some corner house. Lean against it, and | lean against it hard, as If you were | really on duty. You'll go to sleep, all right.”—New York Tribune. { | . A —— Medical. Cure Your Kid- neys. DO NOT ENDANGER LIFE WHEN A BELLE. FONTE CITIZEN SHOWS YOU THE CURE. | 1 Why will people continue to suffer the agonies of kidney complaint, back- ache, urinary disorders, lameness headaches, languor, why allow them- selves to become chronic invalids, when a certain cure is offered them? Doan's Kindey Pills is the remedy to use, because it gives to the kidneys the help they need to perform their work. If you have any, even one, of the symptoms of kidney diseases, cure yourself now, before diabetes, dropsy of Bright's disease sets in. Read this Bellefonte testimony: William E. Haines Sunny Side St., Belle- fonte, Pa., says: “The public statement that I gave in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago still holds good, as the cure they effeated in my case has been permanent. In 1890 I began to suffer from a lameness in my back, accompan- ied by a dull, lingering ache in my loins that made it hard for me to attend to my work. I did not rest welland I was ata loss to know what to do. After trying a number of remedies without being bene- fited I learned of Doan'’s Kidney Pills and got abox. They proved to be just the in a short time.
