Our Eyes Easily Deceived.
An interesting optical delusion,
showing what changes can bo effected
by reverjiEg tho position of certain

of ordinary capital letters and figures
were placed on the blackboard as fol
lows: SSSSSSXXXXXY333333888883.
Look carefully at these and yon will
perceive that tbo upper half of the

the lower halves, so little that an
ordinary eyo declares them to be of
equal size. Now turn tho paper up

you will seo that this difference in

the real top half of the letter is very
much smaller than tho bottom half.

how to rurjrARS wool ron maiiket.
Tho great bulk of wool of all grades
is sold in the dirt ; that means just as
it is found ou tho Bherp at shearing
time. All Merino wool is very greasy
and dirty. Somo peoplo prefer to
wash their sheep. To do this a run
ning stream is necessary, near which
two pens aro built. Tlio ilock is put
is pen No. 1, nnd tho sheep taken one
at a time nud immersed in tho stream
once nnd turned into pen No. 2, where
they aro allowed to remain about an
hour, until tho steam begins to rieo
from their backs, when they aro again
taken, one at a timo, and plunged sev
eral times in tho stream Buy about
half a dozen times when they will be
dean and white. The soapy matter
thnt is in tho wool unites with tho
grenco and dirt, and all go out to
gether. Then the sheep aro turnod
on a clean pasturo for about ten days,
when they aro sheared. This is mer
chantable washed wool, and sells for
about ono-third more than wool in
the dirt.
Then there is tnb-washed wool and
pulled wool. This is usually done
when tho Bhcep is killed or dies, and
lime or ashes are put on the fleshy
sido of the skin, which causes tho
wool to slip in a fow days, and tho
wool is tub-wtshed. This is not eo
desirablo as tho other, as it is best for
both buyer and seller that tho native
oil that is washed out gets back into
tho wool without tho dirt, which it
will do in tho interval bctweeu wash
ing and shearing. This, I believe,
covers the preparation of wool for
market. Charleston News and

Phoobe V. Humphreys, writing Jn
tho Homo Queon, says, why not try
somo entirely now plan in preparing
for thiB summer's floral display? Even
tho city flower grower, with a de
cidedly disoouragiug outlook in the
cramped quarters of tho small 6hady

Then roof-gardening schemos, and even

novel arrangements to the floricul
turist who is determined to succeed
In the country and on suburban
lawns tho possibilities for novel flower
arrangements seem unlimited. Tho
wild-flower garden is perhaps the
most iuterosting of recent floral fash
ions. It may seem absurd to speak of
a fashion in this connection, but it is
nevertheless true that Biuco wealthy
owners of large grounds have turned
their attention to tho transformation
of lowlandd and swampy places iuto
bowers of beauty by transplanting
native wild-flowers and vines, it has
become quito tho "fad" for all flower
growers, who aro in possession of a
nook or coronpr where wild flowers
may bo made to thrive, to arrange
what thev term their "wild garden."
In planning a wild flower nook of
thiB sort, recently, tho writer was
greatly helped by tho description of
an extensive wild gurden by a well
known florist who had experimented
extensively in transplanting to the
home grounds many of our native wild

gwamp and wood flowers it is an easy
matter tocuiiivuto a wua (lower garden
successfully j and even in tho average
garden, where no such advantages are
found, many wayside bloomers cud
field and meadow flowers may bloom in
their sheltered corners, and live and
thrive from yeur to your without caie
or rptciul cultivation. Now is tho time
to watch for the wild fuvorities as they
begin to push up from tho sod, and to
transplant them before their blooming
period.
A wild pardon may bo mado in a va
riety of places on tho edgo of a wood,
on tho bunks or tlopcs, iu ravines uu 1
in any out of tho wuy pluco' where tho
ground is broken, or uneven, suoh
places as are nnglectcd, nnd which aro

whoro the grounds aro at all extensive,

erne for noa cholera.
Chief Salmon, of the Bureau of Ani
mal Industry, in an olUcially pub
lished articlo on bogobolera andswino
plague, doos not uphold the theory
that theso diseases aro causod solely
by germs in the food or drink, IIo
says Bwino will contract hog cholera in
this way, but also by inhaling tho
virus with tho air, and less frequently
by its gaining entrance through tho
surface of a fresh wound. On the
other band, "the virus of swine plaguo
is generally if not always takon into
tho lungs with the inhaled air." Tho
first effect of cholera is believed to be
npon the intostinos, with secondary
invasion of the lungs, bnt tho first ef
fect of plagno is believod to bo upon
the lungs, and tho invasion of tho in
testines a subsequent process.
One or both of these diseases gener
ally is at work among hogs, especially
the young ones. They are estimated
to cause the loss of $10,000,000 to
823,000,000 worth of hogs per year in
tho United States. It is understood
that this fall the trouble is mora
prevalont than ordinary, and this
fact is oitod by como to explain tho
phonomenal activity with which hogs
have been marketed in tho last two
months, with tho acoompanying do
crease of not far from ten per cent, in
the average weight of the animal sent
to market. The hogs have not beon
kept to fatten so long as usual, bnt it
is only fair to toy that this pay be in
considerable prut due to scarcity of
feed on aooount of the paucity of the
corn crop in nearly ait the Northern
States except Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio.
Nevertheless, tho etispeotod preva
lence of ono or both these maladies
renders it of interest that the follow
ing temedy should be known by every
farmer who is a hog grower, since it is
recommended by the department aa
the most efficacious formula which baa
been tried : Wood charcoal, sulphur,
sodium sulphate and antimony sul
phide, ono pound of each, and sodium
chloride, sodium bioarbonate and
sodium hyposulphate, two pounds of
each. These are to be completely
pulverized and well mixed. I tie nose
is a largo tablcspoonful for each 200
pounds weight of hog treated and given
only onoo per day, boing stirred into
a soft feed made by mixing bran and
middlings or middlings and cornmeal,
or ground oats and corn, or crushed
wheat with hot water.
A great recommendation for this
romcdy is the fact that hogs are fond
of it, and when onco they taste of food
with which it has been mixed thoy
will cat it, though nothing else would
tempt them. They should be drenched
with it in hot water if too sick to eat,
and most of those bo treated will begin
to cat eoon after. The report recoin
mends the medicine for nse as a pre
ventivo of thoso diseases, for which
purpose it ought to be put into the
feed of the whole herd, presumably in
much smaller quantity than above
stated for sick animals. It is said to
be an excellent appetizer and stimu
lant for the processes of digostion and
assimilation eo that it causes the ani
mals to take flesh rapidly and "as
sume a thrifty appearance." Of courst

A monster steer, which is owned bi
Mr. Charlcd Payno, a dealer in wild
animals and curios, at Wichita, liun.,
is attracting tne attention of the curl
ous. Mr. Payne came into possession
of tho animal, now three years old,
about six months ago. Its growth
since that time has boon phonomenal
and tho questiou is asked Mr. Payno
many times a day: "When is it ever
poing to Btop growing?" The steer is
now six feet and four inches high and
eleven feet long, or seventeen feet
lung, counting from tho tip of its tail.
It weighed only 1800 pounds three
months ago. Its present weight is
230'J pounds, and if it continues to
grow os it has in the past bix months,
it will some day be as big as a full-
grown clcphaut. Cattlemen pro
nounce it one of tho greatest freaks
known iu the stock line. Ihoy Bay
it will continue to grow uutil it is
seven or eight yeard old, and that
when it is fully grown it will have at'
taiued a weight of from four to six
thousand pounds. Tho giant is per
fectly eymuietrical in its development,
and is colored and marked like a Jer
sey. Mr. Payno has not offered it for
sale, and says he intends to wait and
see how big it gets.
Only ono other such freak has boon

"Colorado I coin? to bavo tho long
est tunnel in the world," said Richard
Jones, in conversation with a St. Louis
Olobo-Drmocrat reporter a fow days
ago. "Within a few years tho Mont
Ccnin, Bt. Oothard and Simplon tun
nels under tho Alps will not compare
with tho ono to bo constructed.
"A company has undertaken to do
forty-right miles of tunneling undor
Fiko's Peak Bnd tho territory near by.
It will begin at Sunderland Crock,
nonr Colorado City, and run in a
southwesterly direction to a crook
Bomo distanco beyond Independence
and Victor. It is to bo built for a
doublo track of railway and havo tho
regulation dimensions of railway tun-
nola, fourteen foot wido nnd eighteen
high. A branch lino will lenvo tho
ninin tnnnel at a point under Indo
pendenco and run to Cripplo Crock,
hieing that mining contro within fix-
tccn miles of Colorado city! Tho dis
tanco between tho two is by rail at
present fifty-four miles.
"lhe two mouths of tho main tnnnel
aro to havo tho Bamo nltitudo, 0800
foot, nnd the grade of tho tunnol will
bo ono foot to tho 100, enough to drain
it well. Thin will give tho divldo an
altitude of about 7100 foot. Tho sum
mit of Tilto's Peak is 14,000 foctabovo
tho sea level and Cripplo Crook nearly
10,000. The plan inoludos also laterals,
or cross tunnels at several different
points. Ono is to bo at or under
Crystul Park and another nndor Cam
eron's Covo. Tho longest ono will cut
tho main lino not far from Bald Moun
tain, nnd run under that peak in one
direction and nndor tho ouramit of
Pike'a Peak in tho other. This cross
tunnol will bo over fiftoon miles long.
Thon another tunnel is to connect this
cross arm with tho main lino, joining
tho latter soar tbo ponth and the
branch on tho west side of Piko's Peak.
It will run undor tho mining camp of
lllett and not far from urassy.
"Tho amount ncedod for the tunnol
work is $20,000,000. A contract now
n escrow in Colorado City requires
that the work shall be commenced
within ninety days. Tho intention is
to have forty-eight miles tunneled and
tho main line in operation fcoforo
March 1, 1900."

serves two purposes; it protects tho pill, en

disguises tho taste for the palate. Somo pill
