Spider Web Balloon Netting.
Some ten years ago a French mis
sionary started tbe systematic rearing
of two kinds of spiders for their web,
and the Board of Trade Journal
states that a spider web factory is now
in successful operation at Ckalais
Mendon, near Paris, where ropes are
made of spider web intended for bal
loons fuL tbe French military aero
nautic sWtion. The spiders are ar
ranged in groups of twelve about a
reel, npon which the threads are
wound. It is by no means easy work
for the spiders, for they are not re
leased until they have furnished from
thirty to forty yards of thread each.
The web is washed, and thus freed
of the outer reddish and sticky cover.
Eight of the washed threads are
then taken together, and of this
rather strong yarn cords are woven,
which are stronger and much lighter
than cords of silk of the same thick
ness. These spider web ropes are
very much more expensive than silk
ones, but it is hoped to reduce their
cost somewhat in the future. Nature.
NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
A TALK WITH MRS. PIXKHAM.
A woman vith the blues is a very un
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
" the blues," nearly always, with wo
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
It is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv
ousness in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Tinkham for her
advice. Tier advice is thorough com
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Bead the story of Mrs. F. S. Bennett,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol
lowing letter:
" Dear Mrs. Finkham: I have suf
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and ulceration of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
"I am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you."

TREATMENT OF WORN SOILS.
Rational Methods to Maintain the Fer
tility ol the Farm Lands.
The greater part of the farm land of
this country has been under cultiva
tion a comparatively short time. The
soil was very productive, as a rule,
when cropping was began, indicating
the presence of an abundance of avail
able plnnt food. Notwithstanding the
briefness of the period of cultivation,
especially west of the Alleghauies, we
already hear much about "worn" and
"unproductive" soils. New land, after
a few years of cropping, ceases to pro
duce as well as it did at first, aud no
problem is of more general iutere&t to
farmers than that of maintaining the
productive power of the soil.
Mauy people have jumped to the
conclusion that, as we draw hundreds
of millions of bushels of wheat, corn,
oats, rye, potatoes, etc, from the farms
to meet the demands of our markets
each year, the depletiou of onr soils
must be an unavoidable result nntil
we are willing to buy and return to
our land all the phosphorio acid and
potash that these crops havo removed,
and, in addition, all the nitrogen that
has not been replaced from the stores
in the air by the use of plants like
clover. The theory is a pretty one on its
face, and it only needs truth to make it
valuable. The three elements named
are not the only ones removed from
the soil by crops, but the other ele
ments are not considered because they
are available in most soils for the full
requirements of plants. Science poiuts
out the fact that tho phosphorio acid
and potash are in great present abun
dance in all naturally fair soils, but we
do not And these elements in available
form to the extent required by plants.
If we can make some of these stores
available, it is just as irrational to de
pend upon outside sources commer
cial fertilizers for all the phosphoric
acid and potash required by plants as
it would to buy all the other minerals
needed by plants, and of which we
bear nothing because the soil nearly
always contains an available supply.
Usually a worn soil is unproductive
because it does not have a full supply
of available plant food, and because its
mechanical condition is bad. Constant
cropping has nsed np the available sup
ply of nitrogen, phosphorio acid and
potash the three elements furnished
by a complete fertilizer to such au
exteut that with poor mechanical con
dition of the soil a full crop is out of
tho question. A few years ago we were
taucrht by some writers tuat rational
treatment of a worn soil meant the
nurchase of these three elements for
it; the mechanical condition, which af
fects the Biipply of moisture, was
ignorsd. Now that it is generally
known that the legumes, such as clover
and peas, furnish cheap nitrogen, it is
insisted that we must buy the phos
phoric acid and potash. The great un
available stores in the soil ore ignored,
as is the moisture question likewise.
But science is coming forward with
explanations of what the practical
farmer already knew, viz.: A rotting
sod in the soil secures to a crop plant
ed in it a supply of available elements,
and the physical condition of the Jand
is such that good yields can be ob
tained. The constant cropping of new land
exhausts the organic matter in it rap
idly, and then comes a state of partial
soil "exhaustion." Theplowing-under
of sods and manurial crops results in
the freeing of mineral plant food in
the soil, and in suoh improvement of
the meohanical condition that a supply
of moisture may be controlled. A
clover sod cannot add a pound of phos
phorio acid to land, but careful experi
ment showed that there was twice as
much available iu the soil after crim
son clover had been turned under as
was the case before it was grown. Iu
its growth, doubtless, and in its fer
mentation, some of the original supply
in the land was made available. A ra
tional system of maintaining fertility
means the maintenance of the original
high percentage of humus by the
plowiug-under of sods and manurial
crops, with the certainty that where
the percentage of vegetable matter in
the soil is kept high, there will stores
of mineral elements be made availablo
sufficiently to afford a cheap and valu
able supply.
The soil whose percentage of humus
has run low as a result of constant
cropping without the incorporation of
sods, stable manure or other organic
matter with it, is in an almost helpless
condition. It cannot iree the mineral
elements for its use as fast as needed,
and it loses control of tho moisture,
becoming hard-packed, it is sodden
after a rain, and then very dry after a
short drouth. By the application of
costly available plant food in the form
of chemicals, such land will produce
a good crop in a moist season. In
fluenced by specious reasoning, not a
few farmers have supposed that no
other way of securing and maintain
ing productiveness is practicable, and
that there is a nearly total depend
ence npon outside Boutces for the
three valued elements of fertilizers.
The necessity of humus is lost sight
of. When a soil is in this helpless
condition, fertilizers are necessary for
the growth of a heavy sod, and herein
is a sensiblo nse of them; but the Rod
should bo tvsed to enable the soil to
begin helping itself. 'When tho hu
mus content is kept large, productive
ness remains without the use of fer
tilizers. The natural strength of the
soil becomes the main source of plant
food, and it is a cheap source in gen
eral farming. To the supply of or
ganio matter, affecting the inert min
erals and the moisture in the soil,
there maybe added available, minerals
for securing maximum crops, if local
conditions justify the expenditure.
That ia a matter for experiment ; tho
presence of decaying vegetation is a
necossity the foundation-stone of
good farming and the eavioar of roil
fertility for all farmers engaged in pro
ducing the low-priced staple crops of
this country.
While stable manure odds the three
elements needed by smIs, and clover
adds nitrogen, yet much of the value
of these two great fertilizers consists
iu the effect ut tha large body of or
ganic matter fermenting and remain
ing iu the sol). While bringing pliiut
food directly, they havo an equally
great value, probably, to worn soils in
other ways. New York Inbune,
Irom cui.ic-, t-uiU u is tjuiio li.ituwil
for them to suppose ii is also best with
milk vessels also. We have often seen
housekeepers put scalding-hot water
into tin or wooden pails or pans where
some milk clung to the sides. Of
course the hot water curdled the milk,
as it probably expelled most of the air
from this curd; so soon as it cooled it
would adhere with a pressure of fifteen
pounds or something less to the sides
of the tin or wooden vessel. The truth
is that cold water with a little soda in
it is much better to wash out dairy
utensils than hot water is. The latter
may be nsed after all the milk has
beeu removed, and then it should bo
applied hot enough to kill all the germs
that adhere to the sides of the ilifh.
The soda, being alkaline, is rather
preservative than destructive of germs,
especially when the germs come iu
contact with grease. Every housewife
knows how hard it is to clean a dirty
and greasy dishrag. Only putting it
repeatedly in boiling hot water will do
it.
Many who keep dairy utensils com
paratively clean in hot weather fail as
fall aud winter, with colder tempera
ture, begiu. Probably they take more
pains to clean dairy utensils in hot
weather, thinking that the danger from
spread of baoteria is greatest. If they
mean only that in hot weather the
bacteria will, if let alone, increase
fastest, their reasoning is correct. But
it leaves out of account the faot that if
the least bit of milk curd is left ou
dairy utensils the baoteria will increase
iu it by millions in a few hours. And
they should remember that while in
hot weather it is very easy to clean
vessels that have contained milk, in
cold weather it is extremely diffioult.
The curd cools slowly in hot weather,
and if the cloth or brush is applied to
it it is until it is cooled very easily
removed. But as the weather grows
colder the air pressure, causing it to
adhere to whatever it is applied to,
becomes immediately operative to pre
vent it from beiug taken off by the
first application. So it has to be
scrubbed until, if the same cloth ia
used, enough of curd aheresin the last
rubbing the dish gets to start a new
brood of bacteria.
Wherever wooden vessels (as the
old-fashioned churn) are nsed, the al
ternation of hot aud oold water is
pretty sure, to make cracks in the
wood. Here card finds a lodgment
and bacteria multiply without limit.
No such churn can produco the best
butter, espocially in winter when it is
more difficult to clean it than it is dur
ing rummer. Most of the poor fall
and winter butter might be made much
better if entirely new pails, pans and
churns were procured and always kept
scrupulously clean. The patented
paper pails and pans with glazed sur
faces, but not painted, except on the
outside, are best for milking in and
for keeping milk while tho cream rises.
It is the oil in cream that makes it so
tenaciously adhere when combined
with curd to the sides of pans and ves
sels. Tho oil makes a Bmooth adher
ing surface, aud air pressure does the
rest. American Cultivator.
The Use of Fotasli.
All farmers know that of the three
chemical elements of the soil neces
sary to plant growth, potash and
phosphorio acid are the most expen
sive to obtain. The average soil con
tains considerable quantities of each
in an inert form requiring nitrogen to
liberate it and make it available as
plant food. For this reason farmers
use legumes, mainly peas and crimson
clover, as the cheapest way of obtain
ing the needed nitrogen. When pot
ash, the most expensive of the chemi
cals, must be purchased the muriate
is cheaper than the sulphate and quite
as satisiactory. un most, crops,
especially grains aud fruits, one part
of muriate of potash and three parts
of bone meal will give good results,
increasing tho bone meal two or three
parts if it be used exclusively for
grain crops. In lands where phos
phorio aoid is deficient, as it generally
is where dairying is tho chief in
dustry, the formula of bone meal and
muriate of potash applied at the rate
of from 350 to 500 pounds to the acre,
using unleached stable manure to ob
tain the required nitrogen, will bring
the soil up to the normal condition
quickly.

Snakes vary greatly in color, Borne
being very beautiful, and in many
cases their coloration is iiignly pro

luxuriant vegetation, while gray
snakes generally frequent rocky dis

coat of scales, formed from the epi
dermis and generally overlapping
each other, is shed during the sum
mer months. The eyes hove no lids,
being covered with a delicate film or
membrane, giving to them that stony

The Cause of Temperance.
The Woman's Christina Temperance,

tion lit (St. Taul, had a paper read bofore It
In which the point was made that, while
the use of alcoliolio liquors had Increased
materially in foreign countries.. It had la
the Inst tun years undergone a seusilile re
duction iu tho United States that is, tak
ing the numbttr of our people Into account.
The writer of this paper weut on to say that
is during that time there had keen no
peotal agitation In favor of temperance,
as there had been no conspicuous instance
of applications of prohiMtlou lawa.tbe only
reason that could bo Riven fortltis decroass
In the consumption of alcoholic liquors In
the United States was tho Instruction that
had been given In the publlo schools as to
the disastrous effects of alcohol when taken
as a beverago. It seems to us that this U
one of those cases of an entire misconstruc
tion of cause. To assume thnt the character
of the American people Is being revolution
Ir.ed by this class of instruction in our pub
lic schools Is wholly ridiculous. Wo do not
tay that the instruction U not of ndv.tu
tage, but Is of only slight advantage, it foi
no other reason because it Is only at
tempted In a relatively tow localities. Even
If it were general, we should doubt whether
It would be noticeably effective. The cause
for tho decrease, in the use of alcoholic
liquors In this country Is one which does
not need any anxious seeking, because It
Is obvious to any one who considers the
Biibjeot In an unprejudiced mnuner. It Is
growth of public sentiment against the ex
cessive use of liquor. In European coun
tries drunkenness is condoned as an offence
of slight importance. In the United States
It Is tbe exceptional family in whioh tbe
drunkenness of one of the members would
not be regarded with Intense horror.
There are few soolal circles that will freely
admit a person who Is known to bo au
habitual drunkard, and even a man who
occasionally drinks to excess losos caste In
all but somewhat shady society. Tho
standard lias been set in the upper sooial
classes, and is gradually penetrntlng down
through all of the middle and lower grades;
hence the time Is not distant when, even
among those who now look on excesslvo
drinking with toleration, the excessive
drinker will be tabooed as an unlit asso
ciate. These social laws nnd social penal
ties are infinitely stronger and more bind

At the recent hearing before the House
Committee on Territories, Mrs. Mary H.
Hunt, of Boston, speaking of tbe good re
sults that had come from the enactment ot
other laws In behalf of which she had at
other times appeared before Congress, re
lated an Interesting incident In regard to
Lieutenant Hobson. She snld that after
the adoption ot a course ot systematic in
struction in temperance hygiene and
physiology in the Naval Academy at An-
naDolls. iu accordance witn a law pnssea
through her instrumentality, she visited
that institution on the occasion ot the
graduation of a class, nnd beard Hobson,
who was a member ot tho class, discuss, as
a part of his graduating examination, the
damaging effoot of alcohol on the human
system, and particularly Its relation to tho
performance of a sailor's duty under cir
cumstances ot exposure. To the knowl
edge gained by the instruction given nt the
Naval Academy she attributed tbe fact that
when the last officer of tun Texas going
over the rail ot the doomed Morrimac nt
two o'olock on the morning of Uobson's
great exploit, turning, asked him: "Shall
we send you some breakfast, old man?"
Hobson replied: "No, we don't care for
breakfast, but send us plenty of" not
whisky, as any officer ot the navy would
have requested twenty years ngo, dui
"ooffee." Mrs. Hunt attributed the olear
headod activity that made the desperate
venture of Hobson and Ills companions
successful, to the absence of liquor. "
He's Teetotaler.

winding np at aa institute, but the drink
habit oould not;be eradicated. One day he
said he would try an original experiment
on himself. He would take a large bottlo
with hlr.1 for a day, and whenever he
wanted a drink would pour It into the bot
tle instead of Into his gullet. He denied
himself nothing, but went the same old
rounds, a glass of rye here, a glass ot
Bourbon there, beer yonder, gin some
where else, cocktails everywhere. When
the day was done the bottle contained a
mess that looked so unpalatable and
emitted so foul an odor that the man got
frightened and swore off lor life. New

Abstainers Made Better Soldiers.
The Haverhill Gazette has now and agnia
a good word to sny of temperance. Here
is one of its latest: "Publlo attention has
beea repeatedly drawn of late years to tbe
fact that total abstinence is necessary it
people desire to live long and lead useful
lives. In the experience of the mea just
returned from Cuba it is admitted that the
men who were total abstainers were bottcr
able to withstand the hungerand privations
of the service than were drinking soldiers.

Every farmer's wife knows how necessary it is that
the milk buckets, pans, churns, and other implements of
the dairy be perfectly clean and free from taint. A com
mQn yellow soap that smells of rosin should never be used
for washing these. Such soaps are made of materials that
you would not use for. any purpose. Besides, they are
sticky and the soap will get into the enc1' and corners and
stay there. Ivory Soap is pure, it is well made, and only
sweetdean materials are used. Then it rinses readily.

Athletes Make Foor Soldiers.
An odd fact developed by the cam
paign of the Seventy-first is this, at
least it seems to be established, that,
given equal hardships, mon-n fine
athletio training suffer more than men
iu ordinary condition. Statistics
show, in this regiment, that the run
ners, the jumpers, the craok bicyole
riders and the reoord men generally
were readier fever victims than their
comrades and gave out sooner in the
emergencies of the battlefield. There
was Sergeant Meeks, . long-distance
runner, and "Hub" Smith, a bipyole
rider, and Siebold, a winner of run
ning races, and Ott, a sprinter and
hurdler, and Frivate Meeks, auother
bicycle rider, and Divannie, runner,
and so on through a long list. Al
most without exception these fine ath
letes fell into illness or utter collapse
with the first strain put npon them.
They made worse fever cases and
dysentery cases than the others, aud
it appeared to nurses and doctors as
beyond question that the thorough
physical training which these men
completed just before the war, in an
ticipation of the spring athletic games,
was a serious impairment of their
powers for resisting disease. It is
worthy of note, also, that roost of
these athletes indulged neither in
drink nor tobacco. Leslie's Weekly.
