Pill Clothes.
The good pill has a good coat. Tho pill coat
serves two purposes; ii protects the pill, en
abling it to retaia all its remedial value, and it
disguises the taste for the pnlata. Some pill
coats are too heavy; they will not dissolve in
the Etomacli, and tho pills they cover' pass
through the system as harmless a3 a bread

speedy deterioration of the pill. After 30 years

Canal of Ancient Origin.
The Dismal Swamp Canal is one of
the oldest artificial waterways in the
United States. It was planned by
George Washington, and was chartered
by the Legislatures of Virginia and
Xorth Carolina in 1787 110 years ago.
The charter powers of the original
company are such as no Legislature
would now grant, the franchiso and
privileges being perpetnal and irrevoc
able. Ten years was allowed for the
construction, but the time was twioe
extended, in 1810 and in 1816. The
need of an island ronte of communica
tion was serionsly felt by the United
States Government during the block
ade of the Southern ports in 1814, and
Congress appropriated $250,000 for
the completion of the canal.
It was opened for tramc in 1824, and
almost immediately became a paying
institution. From 1840 to the break
ing ont of the Civil War it was the
principal inland route for transporta
tion between the North and tbe South.
In 1850 it paid a dividend of eight per
cent, on a capitalization of $481,000.
But at tbe beginning of the war trans
portation ceased, and after the capture
of Roanoke Island in 1802 General
Henry A. Wise, who made his escape
through the Dismal Hwamp Canal,
demolished three of its locks to head
off pursuit. It was then seized by tho
Government, partially repaired and
used for transport purposes. In 18G5
tbe property was returned to its
owners in a dilapidated condition, and
boa been practically moribund ever
since.
Some years after the war General
li. F. Butler and certain New England
capitalists conceived the idea of pur
chasing tbe canal property and build
ing a railroad on the towpath. But
tho engineers sent ont to make the
preliminary survey came back with an
unfavorable report, and the scheme
was abandoned. There has been talk
in Congress of enlarging this canal,
and of making it a part of the inter
coastal waterway from Boston to New
Orleans. This ambitions schemo prob
ably had its origin in the brain of John
C. Calhoun, and that statesman was its
chief advocate for many years. Bnt
the intcrcoaslal canal is still an unac
complished dream of naval officers and
members of Congress.- New Orleans

Gold In Siberia.
As tbe opening np of Siberia draws
near, it may be interesting to point
ont the laws and regulations that
govern gold hunting in that far-away
country that will be within easy reach
of civilization in three or fonr years.
According to a recent nkase, "taye
shulks" (prospectors) are quite wel
come to the White Czar's domains,
provided the local authorities of the
district approve of tbeir character,
Hebrews alone being exclnded. The
local authorities will issne a permit ol
prospectors, and once a gold hnntei

to stake off a claim. This, however,
mast not be more than three miles and

Tbe reasou for the wholesale abandon
ment of claims is tha np to the present

There was a vast deal of damage
done to shade, forest and frnit trees
in tho Northwest tho latter part of
November by a slcct storm that loaded
tbe limbs with a heavy coating of ice,
breaking tho limbs olf in many cases
to an extent that seemed to bo fatal
to tho tree. Hut as a mat lor of fact a
tree can stand very hard usage iu this
respect and not only survive, but
rapidly recover all its loss, aud in
omo instances such discipline seems
to prove an advautnge. Where a limb
is broken it should be cut off olose to
the trunk, late in tho winter, or be
fore tbe sap starts, making a smooth,
clean job of it, and cover tho wound
with grafting wax, or a thiok applica
tion of white lead and oil. Axlo
grease is sometimes recommended,
and so is coal or pine tar, but nothing
is so good as the two first named ; we
would not use tar in any event. If a
tree is badly stripped of limbs it may
be well to cut off tho top of the trunk
with a viow to a more shapely tree
hereafter. Tbe root system of the
tree is not injurod, and if a chance Is
given it will force a new growth of
limts npon tbe old trunk that will be
surprising. There is no way to get
new trees eo quickly as by utilizing
the trunks of the injured ones.

A German writer says the nutrition
of plauts is diminished in a constantly
moist atmosphere, because iu such
case tbe plants cease to transpire. It
is by the stream of transpiration that
the food materials from the soil are
brought to the plant, remaining be
hind in the plant when the plant gives
off the water in vapor, and thereby
makes room for a like quantity of new
food material from the soil. Experi
ments show that in a very moist at
mosphere loss of mineral matter is
brought into the plant from the soil,
bnt tho formation of starch grains
from carbon dioxide aud water is not
hindered.
Hire. Allen, Germantown, says: Py
retbrnm rowdjr, the insccticido most
used by housekeepers, is one of the best
to use with house plants. A very lit
tle of it in water and difused by an
atomizer as recommended a long time
ago by Profcsor Riley, is one of tho
best ways for using it. Another way
is to wet the leaves of the plant, and
blow the powder upon them from an
inscot gun." Out of doors, if used,
dry, it should be iu the evening or
early in tho morning, when tho mois
ture on the leaves from the dew will
cause it to stick. If iu water a little
glycerine or molasses or soap may be
put in to make it stick. "This insec
ticide is made from the flowers of the
pyrethinm cinerariaefolinrn. These
are gathered before they are
quite open, and dried under cover and
without artificial heat. When dried
they are pulverized and the powder
sifted, then put into air-tight recep
tacles. The powder will not injure
cither the foliage or tho flowers."
One of tbe bett of the New England
peach farms is managed on the partly
turf system, a strip of sol being left
about the trees, the space in tho mid
dle of the rows being cultivated. The
fertilizer is applied on the sod and
the grass is mowed and left us a mulch.
Tbe sod, it is said, helps protect the
roots from freezing and thawing, and
tbe wood being of slower growth is
better matured.
The ideal location for an apple
orchard, Mies Cutler told the Boston
farmers at their recent meeting, is on
a hill. The advantage in this over a
plain being that the trees are more
open to the light and air, giving bet
ter color and iiavor to the fruit, bet
ter natural drainage and freedom from
frosts.
Whitewash or dusting with pow
dered lime when tho limbi and twigs
are damp with fog, or after a rain,
will destroy any moss that may be on
them.
TUB VALUE OF CLT BONES.
Did you ever think about how much
material it takes to make an egg ? If you
think about it once yon would readily
see that a single egg contuins all the
elements necessary to animal life, for
at the end of the period of incubation
out steps a chick, equipped with bono
and muscle, a little fat perhaps, and
feathers a-sprontiug, in short, every
thing that goes to make a fowl, was
contained inside the egg shell.
How did they get there? The hen
that laid that egg did not evolve its
elements from'her "internal arrange
ments;" there was no spontaneous
growth about it. "Nothing cornea
from - nothiug," a3 Bhadespeare said
long ago. That egg was fed into the
hen. It is requiring "bricks without
straw," when we demand that our hens
shall lay eggs and give them nothing
with which to manufacture them.
The w hole secret of egg production
is after you have a healthy ben a
properly balanced ration. As long as
the hen e food lacks one or more
of the elements necessary to egg pro
duction, it is silly to expect a well
filled ega basket.
In the past few years poultrymen
have been greatly lavored in having
an ideal egg food plaoed at their dis
posal at a very small cost. 1 refer to
green cut. bone. liy analysis and ex
perience green bones have been found
tocor.tuin every element that is found
in an egg, and in such proportions as
can be used to the best advantage. It
is unfortunate that so many farmers
are neglecting this most valuable ad
junct to tho chicken yard. Green
bones can be obtuiued for tho hauling
of them away ; but even if purchased
they are cheaper than grain, and
worked into a grain ration, the bone
makes tho grain go so much iarther,
Kothut it ih a suviug all around. A
given weight of bone will more than
displace tho same umount of grain in
the ration.
Now that a good bone cutter, which
is practically "a lust forever," can be
purchased so cheaply, it is certain that
more barnyard lowls will be made
happy and profitable by an addition
of green cnt bones to their diot. A
writer to tho National Stockman calls
attention to the advantage of tho bone
cutter in that it keeps the flock
healthy and enables tho farmer to
double or treble his tlocks at will. Ho
says: "I speak from experience, as I
am keeping in perfect health over
1200 layers and breeders by the uso
and aid of fresh cut bono. No condi
tion powdeisor medicine are necessary,
l)ut the cut bone is supplying nature's
cravings and reducing tho feod bill,
and it is only a matter of a little timo
and practical observation when a good
bone ontter will be to tho poultry de
partment what tbe mowing machine
is to the bay field. Not only is cut
bone a healthy feed, but it is one of
the greatest egg feeds known, for
health means eggs. Try it and be
convinced that green cut bone is not
only a luxury, but a necessity to the
poultry keeper." Farm News.

At this time of year one of the best

It is about time to niato fowls for
early spring business. Winter is not

Food alone does not and cannot
control the quality of milk. This
statement, however, does not imply
that proper feoding is nit necessary.
But no amount of feed will transform
a naturally inferior cow into a first

An Indiana farmer says he has tried
corrosive sublimate for preventing
soab on potatoes, with gratifying re
sult. The sublimate is poison and
should be handled by careful persons.
It does not injure the hands, but is
deadly when it enters the stomaoh.
The Michigan experiment station
has conducted experiments to deter
mine whether bees injure grape). Ex
perimenter Taylor conoludes that not
only do bees not injure gropes, but
that by gathering the juioe of cracked

destruction of sound ones.
An Illinois farmer living in Jewell
County, has disoovered that seed corn
soaked in coal oil renders tho growing
corn chinch bug proof. He plowed np
his wheat and planted the ground with
corn. The seed of five acres was
soaked in coal oil and tbe other forty
was not. The bugs ate np the forty
acres aud never touched the five acres.
It is worth a million if trne.
On almost every farm there is a
shed that is fairly dry all through the
winter. In this shed throw dry leaves
or cut straw to the depth of tea or
twelves inches. Nail a board at the
front of the shed, so as to keep the
leaves or straw from being scratched
ont, and in this litter soitter the whole
graiu you intend to feed your chickens.
They will scratch for it the whole day
long, and, in this way, secure exeroise
while getting their feed.
Profeseor Massey, of the North
Carolina experiment station, says that
sawdust would have to be rotted to the
state of perfeotly black mold and then
be composted with lime before he
would use it for any manurial purposes.
Better burn it, if practicable, and put
the ashes on the land. The evolution
of organio acids from the sawdust, he
says, would do more harm than the
mulch would do good. Sawdust is of
no value whatever on land till com
pletely decomposed, and then acted
upon by lime.
Coal ashes are often scattered over
garden and field in winter under the
impression that they are a valuable
fertilize!. As a matter of fact, about
their only effect upon the soil is a me
chanical one, having a tendonoy to
looseu heavy soils, rendering them
more friable, while their effect npon
soils already light and dry may be
wholly detrimental. However, nn
leached wood ashes, are a valuable
fertilizer for the orchard and all soils
deficient in potash. They have been
used on orchards and grass lands with
very gratifying results.
Tattooed Ejes.
The latest discovery of scientific
medical men is that the human eye
may be tattooed any color. It is now
quite within the bounds of possibility
for dootors to tattoo a man's eye bright
scarlet or green. Of course, eyes are
only tattooed iu cases where one of
tbem is blind, and has assumed in con
sequence a, peculiar dead and ghastly
appearance. An eye in this condition
will entirely disfigure a face; but a
uoJern oculist may color one of these
"dead eyes, and restore it to its
natural appearance, so that uothing
but the closest scrutiny can deteot the
difference between it and its fellow.
The operation of tattooing is per
formed by first treating the eye with
cocaine, until it becomes absolutely
senseless to pain. When all is ready
the part to be operated upon is cov
ered thiokly with India inlc of the re
quired color. Tbe tattooing is then
performed by means of a little elec
trical machlue, which operates a speci
ally made needle.
How Pens Are Made.
Pens are made by machines whioh
seem almost to think. The steel is
out ioto ribbons as wide as tbe length
ot one pen, and tutse are fed to ma
chines, which out out the blanks, thon
fashion, stamp them, split the points
and pluoe the maker's name on the
bauks. Tbe pens are now complete,
save tbe annealing, and this forms a
separate operation. After being an
nealed they are counted and placed in
boxes. A machine has been inveuted
for performing both these operations.

After the Romans wlthdrow, the Saxons
conquered n Kroat part of tho Isian.i They
were great drinkers, nnd often got drunk
upon mea l, which nu old poet describes as
"a friend to tho lips aud a foe to the life."
We cau scarcely understand now tho sv,i,
coare-j brutality of those Saxons.
On one occasion they proposed to make a
treaty of peace with Vortlirern. by a feast.
The Saxons ma le their British truests druuk,
and each drew his knife and killed his man.

The Danes ma le inroads next upon the
Saxons. The Han-s were. If possible, more
terrilde drunkard than tho H:txons them
selvee. We know from various sources to what a
dreadful sta'a tho country was reduced by
drunkenness. Iu 5G9 a synod was hell by
the bishop, St. David, to enaot new canons,
so ns to repress drunkenness.
These ou nous morn than thirteen hundred
years ngo spoke in no uncertain way. They
decreed; "He who forces another to get
drunk out of hospitality must do pennnce, as
If he had got druuk himself; but he who, out
of hatred or wickedness, In order to dlsgraoe
or mock others, tones them to get drunk,
must do ponnncs as a murderer ot souls."
About four hundred years Inter tbe great
Dunstan found time to devise the prg-tao-karJ,
In order to stop diunkenness aud quitr

This brings us practically to the time of
William the Conqueror, an l hero we may
pause.
Clearly drunkenness Is no new thing. It
Is not only as old as EnRlund, but It U a part
of Eogllsh custom and character. It got
possession of our f Drefotbcrs, when their
choioe of beverages was very small, and
when sclent I do knowledge of food and drink

Tbis scourge of drunkenness arose from
man's need of something to drink, and It
spread by his carelessness and Ignorance, till
It became the Riant custom which carriel

Our great lesson from this very brief out

these homely menus which provides for man's
wants nnd change our social customs, no
less than by moral enthusiasm and religious

It says:
"Munday Is the great day for pushing the

given to adults. Threepenny-bits are placed
In a certain number of the pots ot liquor.
