Sometimes great difficulty is experi enced in making holes in steel that is too hard to cut or file easily. This is ef fected by the following mixture: One ounce of sulphate of copper, quarter of an ounce of alum, half a tcaspoonful of powdered salt, a gill of vinegar, and twenty drops of nitric acid. If it is washed off quickly it will give a beauti ful frosted appearance to the metal. Length of Man's Vision. "How far can a man see?" was the not extremely definite inquiry made by a re porter, of a physician who is something of a specialist in matters pertaining to the eye. "To tho stars," was the equally in definite answer. The lino of inquiry in regard to the scope of vision was suggested by the fact that no two persons will ue as to the limitations of human vision; of half a dozen persons on the tower of the Wild cr Building no two will agree. One will claim that the limit is ten miles and others will insist that they can see sixty miles. Tho physician appealed to said forty miles would probably be the limit from the standpoint of tne tower or tno wild cr Building, to a person with normal vision. That would be the line of the horizon. A long-sighted person could see no farther, but could see objects on the horizon plainer. A neur-sightea per son would, of course, be correspondingly limited. Another gentleman who was present said that he had stood on the heights ten miles north of Bowmansville, Canada, on a clear day, and distinguished the outlines of the south shore of Lake On tario, and at night from the same posi tion had seen the revolving lights at Oak Orchard. The heights referred to are 400 feet above the level of the water of the lake. The use of telescope had verified the facl that the shore outline had been seen with the naked eye. The same gentle- roan said that he had found that on the ocean the bull of a vessel disappeared at a distance of about ten miles, if the ob server stood on the deck of another ves eel, and the masts disappeared at about thirty to thirty-five miles. ICoclieater (JH. Y.) Democrat. Hints as to Shaving. Never fail to well wash vour beard with soap and cold water, and then rub it dry, immediately before you apply the lather, of which the more you use and the thicker it is the easier you will shave, Never use warm water, which makes the face (of shavers) tender. In cold weather place your razor fclosed of course) iu your pocket or under your arm to warm it. The moment you leave your bed (oi batlo is the best time to shave. Always wipe your razor clean, and strop it before putting it away ; and al ways put your shaving brush away with the lather on it. The razor, buing only a fine saw, should be moved in a sloping or sawing direc tion and held nearly nut to your lace, care being taken to draw the skin us tight as possible with the left hand, so us to present an even surface and to throw out the beard. The practice of pressing on the edge of the razor iu'ttroppiug it soon rounds it; the pressure should be directed to the back, which should never be raised from the strop. If you shave from heel to point of razor, strop it from point to heel, but if you begin with the point in shaving then strop it from heel to point. If you only once put away your razor w ithout stropping it or otherwise perfect lv cleaning the edge, you may no longer expect to shave well and easy, the soap and damp so soon rust the fine teeth and edirc. A piece of soft plate leather should uhvayi be kept with razors to wipe thm v ith. Slfticul Cliimict, NEWS AND NOTES FOB WOMEN. Taris has a female wrestler. Foulard silks are in demand.

The soil best suited to hemp is a ricb alluvial loam ; it will thrive in a modcr. atcly tenacious one if well pulverized and it has good under drainage, either natural or artificial. Laud that bakes hard is not good for hemp. It is generally sown broadcast, from a bushel to a bushel and a half of seed being used to the acre. If drilled in less is required. When raised for the seed it may bo planted in hills. Boston Cultivator. cows snon.D pay for tiieir board. In order that tho plants grown may yield the best return of which they aro capable to the husbandman, his skill should be exercised to provide animals which can return to him tho most in products or service for the food which they consume. It is possible to keep animals which yield so much less in food than they cat, that they nro veritable burdens upon the man whoso property they are. Instead of being his servants, living and laboring for him, he some times becomes theirs, nnd apparently lives to keep and feed cows, hogs and horses. The cow in all civilized coun tries is always a boarder upon some per son. She should bo made to pay for her board at such remunerative rates as will leave a profit for the boarding-house keeper. If she fails in that she should bo made to render a servico which she will not unwillingly contribute. Her carcass should be made into beef and her hide into leather. She should not bo slyly sent to board upon some other uu-j fortunate man. A cow with the business' habit of keeping her accounts with the world paid up through the man who owns and feeds her, is a good business cow. That is the kind of cow 1 recom-1 mend. Her power of service will be in-' dicatcd by certain external points. Sho should have a large long udder, of clastic fine quality; a mellow movable skin,t covered with soft silky hair; a long large barrel, hooped with flat ribs, broad and wide apart; a broad loin, spreading out into broad, long hindquarters; nn open twist with rather thin hips, nnd a lean neck of symmetrical length, enrrying a clean-cut fine face with prominent eyes. A cow with these points has ability to serve a man well, if sho gets a fair chance. That her calves should have powers equal to or rather better than her own, care should be exercised in their breeding. The best blood, of the breed adapted to the farmer's purpose, should be used to enlarge nnd not to lessen the working capacity to bo transmitted to bar calves. Farm , yield and Stockman. EFFECTS OF FOOPS LEAS PORK. The best results can be had with breed ing sows, writes F. D. Curtis to the American Agriculturist, by turning them into a field where there is plenty of pas ture. It is not advisable to allow them to have pigs where other hogs run, nb though, in a largo range, there is little danger of the pigs being disturbed or in jured when born. One thing is sure there is no food which will make better pigs or put the sows in better condition for bearing young thau grass. It seeml to be as natural food for swine as for nn class of animals. I have known sowi which destroyed their pigs in the spring., to make the best of mothers in the sum mer when fed on grass. In the spring they were feverish and made frenzied b their physical condition; whilo in tin summer by the cooling and succulenl character of the- grass they were in per feet condition for the ordeal of bearinj young. Feeding vegetables has a similm effect, and when sows have these regularlj they are always sure to do well. Fruib are also natural foods for swine, and sows will do well if fed nothing but apples In the summer hogs should always be or the earth and given a chance to root When it is known that all these cheaf foods are so natural and healthful foi swine, it seems strange that so many far mers persist in keeping their hogs, tin year round, on grain. An acre of sweel corn, fed stalks and all, will go a long way toward fattening a lot of hogs. Sorghum is also excellent. Weeds nr allowed to goto seed, for extra work tin next year, which would make excellent pork. Here is a maxim : The cheapest foods make the best pork. Tho reasor is, it is the leanest. Lean pork then be ing the best, we should try to make it. Confinement in pens tends to increase the fat. Exercise develops tho muscles. The muscular part is the best food. Th fat is lareelv waste. We make fat to throw it away. Peoplo buy hams, nol for the fat, but for the lean. When the fat is wasted it makes the lean cost just so much more. Reduce the fat and in crease the lean. Can this be done? Certaiuly. In this way: licep the pigs all tiieir lives in the pasture. Feed skim-milk aud bran. Keep corn away from them. Give them vegetables and apples with the bran. When the bodies or frames are grown, give them oat meal or rye, ground entire, mixed with bran, putting in twice as much bran as rye. Keep up the vegetablo and apple diet aud allow them during this time to eat all the grass they will. A little com mav be fed toward the end; Pork made in tills way will hav) more lean, and will be tender and juicyJ At Kirby Homestead, with our breed oj hogs, aud using turnips, we have pro duced hams seventy-five per cent, leanj The fat is something more than mere lartj animal oil. It is meat, with the suM stance and grain of meat. To get such pork is worth trying for, as it is in deJ uand. The sausage and the other food products made from such pig meat are luperior m quality aud taste, i here is tenderness und flavor which enhances the ralue. Pigs should no be fed so much r gorged to such au extent that they wilj lot go out iuto the pasture. Au activu pig will make better meat than a helpless1 ne made so by lack of true muscle and rigor. It is advisable to plaut apple trees for early ripening, iu order to give she pigs a start. Fifty trees of this kind aave been set this year at Kirby Home' itead, including twenty early harvest, Apples do not make fat pork, but they d.t make plenty of lean meat, and that of xtra quality. Pumpkins can be utilizeJ In the same way. Gradually the require ments of consumers for more leau pork will open the eyes of farmers to the fact that the consumers are right and we will have less of the greasy, indigestible Animated lard tubs called "early mature J pork." "The most weight in the short' est time," is a heresy which has broked down lots of American stomachs and set thousands of people agaiu.t pork. Therl Is no animal on the farm which can bil turned to better account than tho hog ti utilize wastes and cheap foods, and as i factor for enriching the farm. For i steady diet eive the piy irnis. ; OOOD ess Kon hottsf, M,ors. If you save nil the slops from the honso, tho wash-water and suds of laundry occasions during the week, you iwill find that you have a supply of nutri iment at hand to draw upon which is far richer than you had nuy idea. It will not make a poor soil permanently rich, but it will afford sufficient nutriment to nourish such plants as you grow in it dur ing the summer in a very satisfactory limnnor. We planted some annuals on a .stiff clay that had been thrown out of a Cellar. Wo water them regularly with suds and slops, nnd they surpass in growth and florifcrousness those grown iu the garden. American Agriculturist. A rtOMK-MADE BROODER. Fcople who raise many chickens find a good brooder a very useful institution. There are many plans for making them, from which we select the description of a good one that can bo easily made: Make a box three feel square, one foot high, open at the top and bottom. Over this hail sheet irou, and then nail one-inch strips around the edge, leaving a holo nt each corner one inch long. Make a floor of matched lumber, on tho strips, leaving a hole two inches square in the center, around which fasten a tubo four inches high. Then make a cover two feet and right inches square. Set on four legs. Along the edges tack strips of flannel, Mashed every two inches. Place this on top of the brooder. Set a lamp uuder the sheet iron, nnd the air passing through the holes left in tho corners becomes warmed, streams through tho tube, and over the chicks, while the floor at the :ime time is quite warm. Such an ap paratus, properly constructed nnd man aged, fills the bill of a good brooder. iVfis York Witness. MARKETING FRUITS, Large cities do not always prove tho best markets for fruits. The best market Is often passed by and the fruit sent to N'ew York to be sold at a less price than It would have brought nearer home. Look well to the question of mnrkets be fore the fruit is ready. If the fruit is to bo consigned to n commission dealer, select the man, not the one who makes tho greatest promises, but the one who has best reputation for fair dealing nnd promptness. Conform to the customs of the market in the choice of packages. Where the custom is to send berries in round boxes, those in square ones will meet with slow sale. Have choice fruits, such as selected jipples, plums, etc., go in bushel und half bushel crates. Let the crates bo built of bright new stuff, and establish a imputa tion for neatness that will designate your fruit, even without a label. But do not omit to mark every crate, barrel or other .package, plainly, with the namo of tho consignee, and wun your own name. 'Make or purchase imckagcs of all kiuds 'well in advance, so that this important 'matter mar not bo rushed nt the time rwhen the fruit is ripening. Too much care cannot be token in as Isorting fruits. Some make three grades, the first and second for market, aud a (third to be fed out or dried or otherwise disposed of nt home. Some of tho most careful fruit growers maue out, two grades, the first and best only goes to market. All other is kept at home, or disposed of without having the namo of the shipper on the packages. American Agriculturalist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. The creamery is tho dairy farmer's .hope. i Have milk rooms well ventilated from Jabove. i Liquid manure is best applied weak innd often. Do not allow the ground around plants to becorao balked. ! Keep swine healthy. Loss begins when health breaks down. ! Every young weed that is cut down is 'one less to go to seed. 1 Corn isn't horse feed. Never look for anything better than oats. The cows will be more comfortable out of doors these hot nights. The three great enemies of sheep aro dogs, foot-rot and parasites. - A member of a famous farmer's club says, feed onions to sheep to kill ticks. Sheep do not suffer from the cold, but they do not like high winds or to have .wet fleeces. After a long journey, walk your horse around the yard a little before feeding aud until he is cool. - The silo on the "cheap plan" is grow ing in favor, and will help solve many problems of feeding. Timothy when unmixed with other grasses should be cut while in blossom, or just before the blossoms appear. See that there is a shade of some kind iu the pasture. It is for tho comfort of the stock and the profit of their owner to do this. Burdocks are everywhere a nuisance. If you have none, your neighbor has. Cut them off frequently at the ground's surface. Immediate btraiuing will remove im purities which otherwise might be dis solved to the permanent injury of the whole product. Doc't abuse the cows if they happen to strike you with their tails or kick over the milk iu their attempt to defend them selves from flies. If you have a patch of timothy and "daisies" cut it when the daisies are tit, and uever mind the state of the timothy. Cut daisies just beforo the flowers fade. See to it that the cream does not get too "ripe" duriug hot weather. Poor cream won't make good flavored butter no matter if the graiu, color nnd texture nro good a doubtful result. Winter dairying, where creameries are used particularly, is most profitable. Farmers are getting rid of the notion that cows must go "dry" all winter. Chauge the breeding season to fall. Don't put off building the silo until it is too late to have it finished aud tilled before frost conies. Frozen corn may make "good silage, but Ave would rather have ours "fresh" when we can at well as not. A news item says that over 200 siloi will be built iu jYtlersou County, N. Y., this year. It is au evidence of the hold which tho 6ilage idea is getting on th farmers. It is one of the coiuiug featurei to successful dairy farming.

Dr. Charcot's femme-chat Is nn inmate of the hospital of Salpetriero, as the story goes. She is a pretty child, about four teen years old, with blue eyes and long, blond hair falling down her back. She is modest nnd gcntlo up to a certain mo ment, when tho visitor suddenly beholds her eyes, "frightfully convulsed, her mouth shrivels up, a horriblo grimace distorts her features nnd sho drops to tho earth on all fours. Then she scampers about the room ever nnd under chairs and tables, serking everywhere an outlet of escape, and, if anybody attempts to capture her, she spits with the uniuistak nblo pfft, pfft, of nn enraged puss. Sho humps her back and gives vent to longs miaulmcnts in crescendo, and if a bit of paper or other trillo be thrown to her, sho stretches forth a paw or a hand, ns tho case may be, nnd plays with it as a cat will. Finally, nfter having done the entire pus business to admiration, she curls over on her back, tho crisis is over, and tho femme-chat becomes pure fctnnio once more. Kcio York Commercial Adver tiser.

Oh, such funny little folks are the fiddlers 1 They aro a peaceful set, too, and in all the droves and droves that I saw marching about on the sands by the inlet I saw only two who were disorderly. They fought a little, but cot for long, and tho de feated fellow crawled into his hole, and the army moved on. A fiddler looks like a very small crab. Some nro blue, others are red and brown, and there are black and gray. Some have no claws, nnd others have a great white claw like s crab, which they seem to keep time with. They are the drum majors. A fiddlet never turns to run. They run backward, to the front and sideways without moving their bodies. They have littlo holes all over the sand that reach to well, I don't know, for I got a stick and dug and dug until I got tired, and I never did fiud the bottom. They have a curious littlo way of making a noise like smacking the lips, and it sounds sometimes as though a lot 'of folks wero kissing." Savannah JWtr. A Whole Family of Comets. Professor E. S.
