Military experts are at preseut in terested in a new self-moving car, which is to be a veritable carriage of death. It is to be driven by a sixteen horse power engine at the rate of over forty miles an honrovera country rea sonably level. The climax and purpose of this remarkable machine is to carry two rapid-firing cannon. One man ouly in needed to rnn this terrible wheeled weapon of war, and this same man also attends to the firing and load ing. Fijian Fire-Walker. Fijiau feet can endnre more terrible contact than the blow of a hard-hit cricket ball. There is a Fijian tribe which might make the fortune of any entrepreneur enterprising enough to bring them over to the Crystal Falace or the Westminster Aquarium. They are called the fire walkers. About once a year they give on the inland of M'Buya, about twenty-two miles from Sava, the Fijian capital, what must ha one of the most extraordinary exhibi tions in the world. Iu a forest glade abonta quarter of a mile from the shore a hole is dug in the ground, about twenty-five feet wide and six feet deep. Flat atones are spread over its bottom and wool piled on them and set alight, When the stones are red hot the burn ing logs are dragged away, the stones carefully made to lie as evei!- as pos sible, and all flames extinguished. A party of tribesmen, garlanded with green leaves, then desoond into the pit and deliberately walk over the glow ing stones in procession. Their bare feet are not burnt or even made hot. The display takes place under the eyes of spectators, native and European. This year a steamer was actually ad vertised in Australia to take visitors to witness the speotacle. London News. tltg Price! For Old Book. The days of bargains in old books are fast vanishing, as was proved the other day at the sale of the Ashburn ham library in London. "The Re cneill of the Hostoryes of Troye," printed by Caxton about H72-74, and minus forty-nine leaves, brought 84750. The mutilated book was bought by Lord Ashbnrnham at the Utterson sale for $275. Another of Caxton's publications, "A Boke of the Hoole Lyf of Json," brought $10,500, the highest price ever paid for a speei men of the great English printer's handiwork. The volume in question brought only $135 at the Ueber sale. 100,000 For One-Third of IIU Patent. Millard F. Field, of Newport, R.

It gages its work automati cally, and it draws in 2000 ends properly in seven minutes, something that would require the most expert workman about three hours to perform. No Difference. Physical troubles of a like nature coming from different causes are often a puzzle to those who suffer pain as to their treatment and cure, as in the case of lumbago from cold or a strain Id some way to the same muscles. The treatment of such need not differ one with the other. Both are bad enough, and should have prompt attention, as nothing diaables so much as lame back. The use of Ht. Jacobs Oil will settle the question. Its efficacy is so sure in either ease there is no difference in the treatment and no doubt of the cure.

How many bees iu a colony? de pends upon the season of year. How ever, a few hundred bees and a queen may be called a small colony, but I believe an average colony contains perhaps thirty or thirty-five thousand bees, and during the honey season when they are at their greatest strength, they may have double the above number, and when at their lowest number, which is in late winter, they may run down to ten thousand, or much less. To get at any correct estimate of this is rather diflicnlt, and many give the average of a fair work ing colony at twenty or twenty-five thousand, while some think it possible for a colony to leach seventy-five thousand. Agricultural Epitomist. Preservation of F-gga. The He, liner Markthalleuzeiluug reports about experiments made for the purpose of securing the most ra tional method of preserving eggs. This being a topic of general interest, I beg to give hereafter an extract of the results obtained, as described in the said journal: Twenty methods were selected for these experiments. In the first days of July 400 fresh eggs were prepared according to these methods (twenty eggs for each method), to ba opened for use at the end of the month of February. Of course, a most essential noiut for the snccess of preservation is that only really fresh eggs be employed. as the most infallible means of ascer taining the age of the eggs the experi mentist designated the specifio weight of same. With fresh eggs it is from 1.0784 to 1.0942, If the eggs are put into a solution of 120 grammes (4.23 ounces) of common salt in one litre (1.0567 quarts) of water, the specifio weight of which solution is 1.073, all the eggs that swim on this liquid weigh less, aud consequently are not fresh. Only those eggs that sink should be used for preservation. When, after eight months of preser vation, the eggs were opened .for use, the twenty different methods em ployed gave the most hetrogeneous results: (1) Egss put for preservation in salt water were all bad (not rotten, but uneatable, the salt having pene trated into tho ;s). (2) Eggs wruj ped iu paper, eighty per cent. bad. (3) Eggs preserved in a solution of salicylic acid and glyoeriu, eighty per cent. bad. (4) Eggs rubbed with salt, seventy per .cent. bad. From the United States Consular Report. A Work Shop on the Farm. A work shop on the farm is a great convenience; every progressive farmer hns one, and those who want to keep up with the advancement of agricul tural iuterests will follow suit. To build a work shop is an easy job; it doesu't take long aud costs but little, if constructed as that dear old cabiu iu which I used to work. My work shop was about eight by ten feet aud six feet from the floor to the loft, covered with oak boards and having no floor save the ground. It was sided np with one-inch oak boards, which were sawed from timber cut iu the woods, the space between the planks being covered with lb in oak strips. The shop was provided with an anvil, two strong hammers, a vise, planes, saws, screw-drivers, chisels, a shaving horse, brace aud a set of fif teen bits, ranging from au eighth of an inch to au iuch, spoke shaves, a square and rule, etc., all of which may be bought new for about $12. I also had a harness-maker's outfit in the shop, so when harness needed re pairing 1 did not have to go eight or ten miles to have it doue. Whenever auy of the machinery got out of order it could generally be repaired at home, and thus save money and time. For iuBtauce, when wheat is dead ripe and ought to be cut as soon as possible, the binder breaks, a rod or some minor part gets out of order; then to the blacksmith shop, unless you are pretty well skilled iu the work of re pairing iron aud have a shop aud tools of your own, iu which case much valuable time is saved. . A workshop is, iu my judgment, as essential to the farm us a spriug or cistern, and I am ardently in lavor of the latter. When there is work to be done in the shop iu the winter, a small stove is easily put up. Thus com fortable quarters are prepared for the workiueu. Oftentimes the farm har ness b.'OaU, s.iujctiiues when the farmer is in the midst of a very busy season. Now comes the chance to use the shop; or when there is uo particular need for the brokeu harness, a rainy day will come about when the farmer may go to the shop and do his work iu the dry, having tho necessary tools at hand. Furui implements, no difference how strong they may be or how sub stantially they may be constructed, will frequently get out of order, thus occasioning the use of a blacksmith or wood workman. Now, ull such work can be nnd ought to be done by the farmers themselves, aud if they would equip themselves with the tools, etc., which can be obtained for a small out lay, they could do it. Let every farmer be his own blacksmith, wood worker, carpenter aud saw sharpener, if you please. Din ing ruiny days on the farm there should be work to do, aud there is. The cross-cut saw needs sharpening, the harness require mend ing aud the axes ought to be ground, aud a dozen other thiugs of this character might be attended to. The fanner needs to become au eutbusiust on the subject of uttricultuie aud all the biauohes connected therewith; he must be dominated by that spirit of onivardness which knows uo limit; he must keep abreast of the times and take all the near shoots possible to the oul of success. Let us be alert and wide awake; fanning will surely re ward all who iu fact farm. The voca tion is now regarded as the most in dependent of any. Dewitt C. Wing, in The F.pitomist. Live Stork Notes. A gentleman will have gentle stock. Regularity in feeding, both as to time aud quantity and quality of food, is one of the things that pay. As a rule the first 100 pounds oi sheep and the first 200 of swine costs less and sells for more than that added later. Oood feed and plenty of it early in the life of the animal is what secures the maximum development and lays the foundation for future usefulness. An Iowa stockman claims that lumps on the jaws of cattle, particularly those recently dehorned, are often caused by vicious jabs given by the sharp horned youngsters rnuning with the herd. George Franklin says the man who has had a taste of spriug lamb, like the sheep-killing dog, never forgets it, and he may as well be fed on a well cooked saddle-flap as to again go back to aged mutton. Lamb-creeps and pig-creeps are good things in giving the young stock a start in life. Yon will be surprised to see how young they will begin to esi aiiu -Low much they will consume the right kind of foods is provided. A Michigan dairyman writes that In judicious breeding Bnd feeding and careful selection by the test, keeping only the best cows and caring for them properly, he has iu three years raised the test of his herd from less than four per cent, to over five per cent., and reduced the cost of butter three cents a pound. There is apparently little foundation for the c'aim mado by some feeders that most of the nutriment has been taken out of the grain which passes the animal whole; often the loss is sufficieut to twioe pay for grinding the feed. A good farm mill will often pay for itself in a singlo winter's feeding. The hoofs of the horses must be kept properly trimmed or they will grow long and ill-shaped, then per haps split; or they will grow long' in front, throwing the foot back npon the heel, which sometimes sprains the large tendons of the limbs. Colts should early be taught to have their feet handled. It doesn't pay to let the hogs sleep around the straw stack or in the man ure pile; in fact these are about the worst possible places for them, on account of the dust and dampness and the foul, heated air out of which they will rush to their feed and stand in a zero temperature tfll thoroughly chil led, then they begin to die of cholera(?). At an institute iu Iowa one of the speakers stated that ensilage aud the separator had increased his production of butter to the extent of sixty-five pounds per cow per year; another said the separator had increased bis product by $12.50 per cow, and that he could raise the best calves from separator milk. There, is a difference of opinion regarding the last state ment, however. THINCS QUEER IN MEXICO. Accordiug to law all books of cor porations must be kept iu the language of the country. Mexican men and women carefully refold their handkerchiefs before re turning them to their pockets. Milk is delivered from house to house from large cans with a flat side that are slung over a burro's back. Women doctors are practically un kuown and the first woman to be ad mitted to the bar recently took her examination. Most doctors have signs as large as those of the dry goods stores, reach ing clear across the front of their office buildings. Judges take a more active part in trials than iu the States, aud, as a rule, question the prisoner and wit nesses direct from the bench. In addition to the omuipresent bal cony every window iu Mexican houses is fitted with iron rods on which to hang a canvas awning. The City of Mexico owns a closed street car without wiudows that is used for transporting prisoners from one part of the city to another. As a usual rule commercial houses have certain hours for paying just as a bank aud mauy of them only make payment oue day in the week. It is sometimes necessary to hold court at least for a short time on Sun day as under the law jury trials can uot be coutiuued for a longer time than twenty-four hours. Mexicau butchers have uo use for saws. They cut beefsteaks, chops aud everylhiugelse with oue big thick knife, weighing several pounds, that they use both as knife and cleaver.

A truth which cannot be too often insisted on is, that much of the work doue at a table can be more comfort bly aud healthfully done by using a aigh stool instead of standing. A thermometer which cau be fast ened on the outside of an oven Joor is useful in baking souffles or delicate dishes, as it does away with the need of opening the door till the article is done.

For tea or lunch, where doilies are used instead of a tablecloth, the table may be protected from the hot dishes by asbestos mats covered with prettily embroidered doilies. To keep hanging baskets from dry ing out is the chief poiut of import ance in their care. A very good method is to haug the basket where it can be sprinkled every day, either with a watering pot, using a generous supply of water or with a whisk broom. Dip the broom iu water slightly warmed, shake it a little to remove the greater weight of water, then, by whisking it quickly over the plants, a tine spray cau be thrown, which is better than the spray from the water ing pot.

A poor, undersized bov, named Tim, sit ting by a bottle and looking iu, said, "I wonder if there can bo a pair of shoes In It?" His mother had mended his olothes, but said his shoes were so bad he must go barefoot. Then he took a brick and broke tho bottle, but there were no shoes in it, and lie was frightened, for it was his father's bottle, Tim sat down again and sobbed so loud that he did not hear a step behind him, until a voice said: "WollI what's all this?" Ho sprang up In great alarm; it was his father. "Who broke my bottle?" he said. "I did," said Tim, catching his breath, half In terror and jialt between his sobs. "U"iiy did" you?" Tuu luoiteu u(. The voice did not sound as he had ex pected. The truth was, his father had been touched at the sight of the forlorn figure, so very small and so sorrowful, which bad bent over the broken bottle. Why," he snld, "I was looking for a pair of new shoes. I want a pair of new shoes awful bad all the other chaps wonr shoes." "How came yon to think you'd find shoes In the bottle?" the father asked. "Why. mother said so. I asked her for some new shoes, and she said they had gone in the black bottle, and that lots of other things had gone Into It, too coats and hats, and bread and meat and things, and I thought if I broke It I'd And 'em all, and there ain't a thing In Itl I'm real sorry I broke your bottle, father. I'll never do It again." "No, I guess you won't," he said, laying a hand on the rough little bead as be went away, leaving Tim overcome with astonish ment that his father bad not been angry with him. Two days after ha handed Tim a parcel, tolling him to open it. "New shoesl New shoes!" he shouted. "O, father, did you got a new bottle, and were they In it?" No, my boy, there ain't going to be a new Dottle, lour mother was right; the things all went Into the bottle, but you see getting them out is no easy matter; so, God helping me, I am going to keep them out after this." Working-men and the Saloon. "The serious difficulties surrounding the wage-earning classes suggest praottoal work to our totil abstinence societies," says Father Cleary, of Minneapolis. "The sacred rights of labor were never In more serious danger than In our day. The dis tresses of the poor combine to dispel from their minds earnest convictions on the du ties of the laboring classes. Working men besotted by drink are easily robbed of their rights. They forfeit In their folly their due share of the advantages that modern Invention and Industrial progress have won for them. Men whose faculties bave been weakened by excessive drinking are Inca pable of defending their rights and unable to preserve them. The victims of saloon environment become easy victims of the delusive sophistries of socialism aud an archy. Slaves to the drink bablt easily become unconscious slaves of unscrupulous masters who deceive nnd mislead them into believing that the avowed enemy of wealth Is the poor man's friend. Working men Whose earnings support the saloon will never be capable of maintaining their rights nor of performing their duties. Dis solute habits will Infallibly consign the people to debasing buudage, dependent poverty, degrading slavery and self-con- . tempt. Kober meu are at least capable of receiving salutary lessons, of giving intel ligent consideration to the vexatious prob lems that arise between organized wealth nnd organized labor. There is always en couraging hope that men who are not be sotted by drink can be guided safely in de fence of their right and In performance of their duties." No Liquor at Sea.

Work of English Temperance lteforuieri. Canon Hicks, of England, declared re cently in a public address that temperance reformers were doing more than to rescue individuals, since they were fighting for the liberty of the people, whose bodies aud souls, and whose homes and happiness, were virtually bought and sold by the great brewer capitalists. This is a serious in dictment, but there are facts which could be cited to support It. Generally Admitted. "The evil of Intemperance is generally admitted," says the Itev. N. J. McManus at the C. T. A. U. Convention Iu Hcrauton, Penn., last summer. "Economically it Is a poor Investment. Hociully It Is an Intoler able nuisance, condemned alike by private and public opiuion. Unified public opiuiou, the law of the Mate, has adjudged drunk enuess a crime punishable by flue and im prisonment, and Justly so in the Interest of public morals." Temperance News and Note. Temperance helps to remove temptation. Body and soul are benefited by abstinence froui liquor. Hcientiflo temperance Is taught iu the boys' aud girls' colleges at Conoepuion, Chill, and the young people are greatly In terested. Temperauce reform is one of the most urgent of uutlonal remedies, because In temperance is one of the most dangerous of national evils. One's own self-interest demands temper ance; besides which, the good example snown to others will undoubtedly Influence some in the right direction. Why should a man be discouraged be cause iu the battle with his appetites he is made cognizant of his weakness? Has he not the weapon of prayer to overcome the enemies of bis soul? Every coming day Is a new leaf of the book of life, white und unspotted. Let it not be stained with drunkenness. It Is an alarming aud discouraging fact that in the homes of too mauy of our peo ple the drink curse is nut properly dreaded, and the vice above all vices that is directly hostile to our religion of restraint and self deuiul is uot regarded with the horror that it deserves.

What is still more extraordinary is the innate modesty of the men. This sentiment imples them to work in jackets and trousers in the hottest weather; while the richer classes use a kind of bamboo framework to keep the clothes, other wise nubearable, from contact with the skin.'1- Bowl ThlsT WenfTerOne Hundred DoHnr' Reward for any cae of Cat.irrh that cannot b cured by H.-U's Catarrh Cure.

BOOK PUBLISHING HOUSE. 134 Leonard St.. N. Y. Citv. Chronla Rheumatism. From Ihf Intttutrlal Meim, Jarkunn, Aflh, The subject of this sketch Is fi'fly-sli years of age, and actively engaged in farm ing. When seventonn years old he hurt hi shoulder and a few years after commnnoed to have rheumatic pains In it. On taking a slight cold or the least strain, sometimes without any apparent cause whatever, the trouble would start and ho would suffer the most excruciating pains. He sulTernd for over thirty years, and the last decade has suffered so much that hs was unable to do any work. To this the fre quent occurrences ofdlzr.y spoils were add ed, making blm almost a helpless Invalid IN ALL SORTS or WEATHER Ho tried the best physicians but without being benefited and has used several specific rheumatic euros. but was not. helped. About one year and six monthsngo he read In this paper of a case somewhat similar to his which was cured by Dr. Williams' I'lnk Pills and concluded to try this remedy. After taking the first box ho felt some what better, and nfter using three boxes, the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi ness left him and he has now for over at year been entirely free from all his former trouble and enjoys better health than he, has had since his bovhood. He is loud In his praises of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and will gladly corroborate the above statements. H Is post office address Is Lorenzo Noeloy, Horton, Jackson County, Michigan.
