CEREAL FOOD MAKING. Fookrd firnlnn Are Sfpnrnlfd, Pa«.ed Between Holler* and Flat tened Into Finite*. The superintendent of a mucTi-ad vertised breakfast food recently stated that he ate a pound of his product every dr . "You see, our brand is a new one," he explained to a friend. "I want to 6ee that, every package is up to the top standard before it leaves the factory; so I taste a lot of the stuff to see if the men are making it correctly." According to this superintendent, cereal breakfast foods do not require very much complicated machinery. The first process is to wash the grains of the cereal out of which the thin flakes are to be made. Then it is steamed for several hours in big cal drons, the bottoms of which have holes in them like a sieve. The next step is to transfer the cooked grains from the vessels to a series of flat, perforated sifters, and the mushy mixture of grains is forced through in such a way that different grains are separated and stand out dis tinctly from one another. At this stage the grains are passed between great metal rollers, which flat ten them into flakes. These flakes, still containing consid erable moisture, are finally dried on ■wire netting by means of hot air. Then, last of all, they are packed Into their pasteboard boxes, ready for shipment by the case of twenty-four boxes. "That's all there Is to It," said the superintendent. "In my factory we are Just making a start, but we'll Increase the size of the plant before long. You have no Idea how easy it is to boom a new breakfast food. "To tell the truth, about the largest expense item on our books each month Is the price of fancy advertising cards and other announcements. "We have found thus far that our Bales are proportionate to the activity of our publicity bureau."—St. Loui3 Republic. SWIMMING MADE EASY. AppnrntiiN Invented by ChirriKo Man Make* I *e of Utcycle Pedal* and Screw Propeller. The majority of bathers find more pleasure in paddling leisurely about and sporting in the surf than in exert ing themselves to the extent necessary to acquire any speed in the water, but to the athlete this is rather tame, and only muscular exertion affords satisfac tion. Were it not for the training neces sary to become rapid swimmers no doubt more people would enjoy the ex hilarating sensation of propelling themselves rapidly through the water by the aid of the hands and feet. The physical training is made unnecessary, NEW SWIMMING MACHINE. however, by the machine which has Just been invented by a Chicago man, and which we have illustrated in the picture. It is nothing more nor less than a screw propeller, attached to the man instead of to a boat, and the man who is a good bicycle rider should soon become proficient in the use of thl« swimming apparatus, as the movement of the feet is exactly similar to that re quired to drive the wheel on land. Probably the only difficulty the begin ner would have with this machine would be in maintaining the body in the cor rect position to obtain the best results with the propeller, but with a little practice the hands are soon taught to poise the body at the proper angle and guide the swimmer through the water. It is unnecessary for the hands to aid In the propulsion, as the screw will fur nish sufficient power for the work.—Chi cago News. Electrlo I.lKhtn anil l)tiat. The tendency of dust to collect on elec tric light fittings and wires and on walls and ceilings near them is ascribed partly to the influence of air-currents In duced by local heating and partly to electrification of the dust particles. These, when floating in a room, are at tracted to the electric conductors on the non-earthed side of an earthed system. They either remain upon the conductors, or, becoming charged, fly off and stick to the neighboring walls. By putting the switches in the non-earthed wire, this deposition of dust can he confined to the time during which the lamps are alight. Further improvement, accord ing to Mr. D. S. Monro, can be effected by using concentric flexible conductors, the outer conductor being connected to the earthed side of the system. MOTOR FOR BICYCLES. Its Inventor* Claim Thnt It Can Bt Attached Readily to Anjr Standard Frame. The large majority or those Whc a few years ago took up cycling as an amuse ment have been unable to replace tha bicycle with the automobile, now that the latter has made Its appearance, and have had to be content to Btick to the wheel, or find some other form of pas time to afford exercise and occupy their spairf moments. As a slightly cheaper vehicle than the regular horseless car riage, the motor bicycle has been in troduced, and a number of these ma chines may be seen every day in popu lated districts, but heretofore no pro vision has been made for attaching a motor to the old bicycle, and it has been necessary to provide an entirely new MOTOR ATTACHMENT. frame to carry the engine which pro pels the cycle. The usual method of mounting the motor for running the two wheeled machine is to place it in a cir cular frame in the position occupied by the crank shaft in the regular bicycle. However, this is made unnecessary by the invention which we illustrate, which makes possible the use of the old ma chine with motor attachment. We would suggest, nevertheless, that the rear wheel be replaced by one of slightly stronger build, as the increased weight and the force of the motor will soon ex pose any weakness which may exist in spokes or rim. As tile motor is shown, there is little, if any. added strain placed on the tubular frame, which is a strong point in its favor, when the attachment to old bicycles is consid ered. The driving hub should be pro vided with a coaster brake, and a second sprocket wheel is necessary to connect ■with the motor, while thegasoline reser voir and electric outfit can be arranged as usual on motor cycles.—Louisville Courier-Journal. VITALITY OF SEEDS. L'nder IlenMnnnhly Favorable Condi tion* It Im Preserved for In definite I*eriod«. Not to speak of the doubtful intsances of seeds taken from the pyramids hav ing germinated, melons have been known to grow at the age of 40 years, kidnet- beans at 100, sensitive plant at 60 and rye at 40. And there are now living in the garden of the Horticultural society raspberry plants raised from seeds 1,000 or 1,700 years old. The seeds of charlock buried in former ages spring up in railway cuttings; where ancient forests are destroyed, plants appear which have never been seen before, but whose seeds have been buried in the ground; when some land was recovered from the Baltic sea, a carex was found upon it, now unknown in that part of Europe. M. Fries, of Upsala, succeeded in growing a species of hieracium from seeds which had been in his herbarium upward of 50 years. Desmoulins has recorded an instance of the opening of ancient tombs, in which seeds were found, and on being planted they pro duced species of scabiosa and helio tropium. And many more such cases are on record, establishing conclusive ly that under favorable conditions the vitality of seeds is preserved for In definite periods. It seems as if seeds remain dormant so long as the proportion of carbon pe culiar to them is undiminished; water is decomposed by their vital force; and it is believed that its oxygen, combin ing with the carbon, forms carbonic acid, which is given off. The effect of access of water is, therefore, to rob seeds of their carbon; and the eiTect of destroying their carbon is to deprive them of the principal means which they possess of preserving their vitality. ... Be this as it may, it is incon testable that as soon as seeds begin to i germinate their vitality is exhausted, and they perish, unless the seed is in a condition to continue its growth by obtaning sufficient food from surround ing media.—From Linley's Theory and Practice of Horticulture. llow Water la Colored. The usual color of water—greenish yel- i low to reddi«"tt brown—is now known to tie due to oissorved substances from decaying vegetation, but particles in suspension—usually mineral and often containing iron—may be a cause of ii * color. The depth of tint is estimated by comparison with a mixture of platinum and cobalt, states Dr. A. E. Bostwick, the unit being rhe color given to 1,000,000 i parts of water by one part of platinum. As a rule, water near steep rocks, with few trees, shows less than 20 units of color; near steep wooded or cultivated slopes, 20 to 50 units; near similar, but gentler slopes, 5 to 100; and in swamps, 100 to 500, or even more. In the United States, northern wat?rs are more highly colored thaA southern. Filtering does not remove the color, and. as brownish water—though rarely harmful—ls ob- 1 Jected to for drinking, the coloring mat- I ter is often removed by chemical means, as by coagulating with sulphate of alum- | tnum.

Cnlein tlie llnrf I* Foil Well unit Ja> dlciouNly Her OtTuprinK Will Fall to Develop, If the foal is worth raising at all, It is worth raising well, and If not fed and cared for properly, will be a disgrace to its sire and a source of loss to the owner, says the IJve Stock Journal. The mare should be fed well enough to allow her to supply the foal with abundant, rich, nutritious milk. Her l'ood should be rich in ni trogenous ingredients, for thes-> are most required for frame building. She should be allowed to suckle her foal often, if she is worked, and never when she is tired and sweaty. It does not pay to allow the foal to rap with the mare at plow or on way to town. Milk is taken often in this way, but not in suitable condition for the foal, and, besides this, the foal is getting too much fatiguing wcrk in following its dam. Work the mare lightly, if at all. Before it is too late putin a , strip of fodder corn alongside of the pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide and plant the corn ttrickly with seeder, having some of the sprouts shut ofT. Plant several times, with a few days between the seedings. Use this green ; corn fodder for the mares to help out ; the pastures and feed the mares in ad dition generously upon oats, bran and cut hay. Wet this food with molasses water, if you want lots of milk, and can keep flies out of the stable.

A woman confined to the house for several years with a chronic female derangement had finally given up hope* of being cured. She had tried physician after physi cian, and remedy after remedy, without any permanent improvement. Her treatment had co.st her husband who was a poor man, hundreds of dol lars. They had been obliged to deny themselves many comforts of life in order to get money enough to pay tho physicians. The woman had become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to keep out of her bed. Her children wero growing up neglected and ragged, be cause of the want of a mother's care. Her husband was becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork. Picking up the paper one day she hap pened to read an item which contained the news that Dr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge by letter. She immediately wrote the doctor describing her case, and giving him all her symp toms. She scon received a letter telling her exactly what to do, and what medicines and appliances to get. She began tho treatment (the principal remedy being Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she was well and strong again, able to do her own work. This offer of free home treatment to women is still open to all who may neecJ the services of this eminent physician. All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be held strictly confidential. Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas of Yemassee Council of Red Men (Women's Branch), writes from 872 Eighth Ave., New York: "Three months ago I was troubled 1 with backache and a troublesome heavi ness about the stomach. Sleep brought me no rest for it was a restless sleep< The doctor said my nervous system, was out of order, but his prescriptions didn't seem to relieve me. I was told! that Peruna was good for building ut the nervous system. After using it foi two months I know now that it is. 1 want to say that it made a new woman of me. The torturing symptoms have* all disappeared and I feel myself again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have taken." ANNIE HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Louisiana, writes: "I sincerely believe that Peruna id woman's best friend, for it has certainly* I been that to me. I had had headaches, backaches and other aches every month for a long time, but shortly after I be gan taking Peruna this was a thing of the past, and I have good reason to bo grateful. I take a bottle every spring and fall now. and that keeps my health 1 perfect, and I certainly am more robust now than I have been before and am weighing more. I do not think any one will be disappointed in the results obtained from the use of Peruna." MISS MAMIE POWELL.
