It takes bat a little while longer to ran the seed grain through the fan-ning-mill a second timo, and those who have not tried it will be surprised at the amount of foul staff and light Train that will be cleaned ont. The light grain and small kernels are fur better for feeding purposes than for sowing with the expectation that they will give as great an increase as the kernel that is plump and well matured.' A safe rule to go by in cleaning seed grain is to use a littlo coarser screen,' that all the small kernels may be taken out, and run the mill at a little higher speed than usual that all light and falso kernels may bo blown oat, Ol course none of this refuse grain is lost, but may be used for feeding chickens or other animals.

It is universally conceded that it pays to sort and pack carefully all fruit intended for market, but many per sons are under tho impression that when it comes to eggs this care is un necessary. As long as tho eggs are not broken they imagine nothing else mat ers. They never niaJo a bigger mistake. To sell well all kinds of tood must bo tempting to the eye. Cleanliness is Ihe first thing to be considered, and for this reason many of the eggs must be washed. The next point is the uni formity of color, which is attained by keeping certain breeds that lay eggs of the same color. In this connection it is well to find out tho color in demand, as some markets require brown eggp, while in others the whit we preferred. Finally, the eggs should be sorted ecording to size. All housekeepers .'eel themselves cheated if they find one or more small eggs among their pur rhases. For this reason small eggs should not be mixed with those of the usual sizo. On the other hand, un commonly lnr&;e ones should nlso be laid aside. They aro equally objec tionable, as they tend to make the oth ers appear small by comparison. At tention to all these points pays in th 'ong run. Now York World. VISTEIt STOr.AOE OF FARM rMTXjrESTS. Upon 'storing fp.rm implements in proper condition depends, in no small degree, the suwess of farming, writes J. M. Stnhl, of Illinois. Tho man who provides a dry, airy shelter for farm tools and machines, and puts them in it when they are not in use, has done a wis- and profitable thing; but ha may have done only half of what ho might and should do for the preserva tion and good work of his tools and machines. ITe choald also put the tools and machines awny in good con dition. This includes freedom from dirt. Tho plow, for examxde, put iway coated with mud will rust and rot, though in good shelter ; and such a coating is yei moro harmful to the delicate X'srts of machines. Though bright and st?el surfaces are clean they will probably rust unless coated with oil in some form ; and to be sura that even clean wood does not rot one must coat it with paint or oil. For coating metal surfaces coal oil or beef tallow is good. Of course the tallow should bo applied in n liquid condition. It will pay to cout rough but unpninted metal surfaces as well as polished ones. For farm tools and machines mineral paint is better than artificial pigments, and brown mineral paint is very cheap indeed. Anyone ought to bo able to mix it we only boiled linseed oil, and the best is certainly tho cheapest ; or one can buy ready-mixed paints ol good quality at reasonable prices. One should have two brushes a largo one for ordinary surfaces and a small one for narrow surfaces or small corners. It is advisable to put away all tools and machines in condition for wi rk plows, hoes, harrows or sickles, sharp and with all breaks repaired and weak parts strengthened. There will be more time for this at tho close than at tho beginning of the season's work ; nnd then one has the comforting as surance that as soon as the season per mits he may begin work. When one pats away the implements just as tbey Ifave the field, it is often found that it lias been forgotton that somo must be mended nnd others sharpened, and lliis is not recollected until they are urought out for work; then valu able time must be lost in going to the blacksmith. FARM AXD GARDEN NOTES. Don't waste the eggshells. Is the binder under shelter? Clean np and paint the machines. Tall grass is objectionable in a sheep pasture. A wise farmer puts his tools in ordei jn rainy days. . Look well to the fences between the pasture and cornfield. Plow round tho stacks in tho field, or back fire from them.

Electrical progress has been very :apid in Switzerland on account of th abundance of cheap power from water falls. Professor Dezler, of the Znrict Polytechnic School, states that at thi close of 1892 there were in operatior 552 electric light installations, fifty two plants for the electrical transmis sion of power, 121 batteries of accnin nlators and 1056 dynamos and electro motors. The number of incandescent lamps was 115,926 nnd of lamps 9746. There are several simple methods of listinguishing between mushrooms and toadstools, and any person who has seen tho two together would not be likely to mistake one for the other. Tho mushroom has tho neck solid, with a color or frill midway between the earth and the head, whereas tht stem of tho toadstool is hollow ; tha mushroom has a thick kid-like cover ing, which the toadstool lacks, and s lit h is no elToct on the mushroom, whero it turua the toadstool black. Imitative Forms in Flowers. Thoso who have given any particular Attention to the study of botanical oddities know that the Brazilian (lower known as tho "running ante lope," is so called because its whita petals have a series of well-defined, dark-colored lines anil dots in which the imagination can readily trace tin form of an antelope with its limbs out stretched aud head thrown ba"k, peemingly fleeing for its lifo. In tin "caricature plant" one species has tha imitative form on the petaln and an other has it outlined in tho ribs and Rliiidiug of tho leaves. This last mentioned curiosity bears a remarkably well-execute I likeness of the Duke ol Wellington, and has, on that account, been named "Arthur and his Nose." Among tho orchids tho imitative form is entirely different in character, bein exhibited in tho shajie of tho flowei itself. Some are exact counterfeits ol bees, butterflies, moths, etc., while others take upon themselves tho form f worms and beetles. Naturalists be lieve that in tho first instance it is nature's trap to lure other bees, moths an l butterflies, but tho case of the worm and beetle orchids, or those that are exact counterparts of toads, lizards anil huge spiders, they do not attempt to explain. St. Louis lto mblic. Bacteria and Colds. According to the Berlin correspond mt of tho Lancet, Professor Schenk has fonnd that the micro-organismj move toward warm points. This move ment he terms therxotaxis, and he includes as the result of experiments with a specially constructed apparatus that warmth aots as a stimulant on micro-organisms, which move toward a warm body in their neighborhood, and that this thermottixis is a vital prop erty of bacteria. Tho professor fur ther considers that in certain cases ol "catching cold" an infection is con veyed by bacteria. Thus a person en tering a cold room would attract th bacteria present by his warm bodv. and these, finding admission through ! the skin or otherwise, produce, after a certain time of incubation, the resulti ordinarily attributed to "catching cold.

Growing wild in trreat abundance in .sew Mexico and Arizona is a plant . j y . Bw 1.v..,ti.ebo v. - lie acid. It is known as canaigre. Experiments were made with this plant, and when it became certain that ' ;he product of its root was in every ! xay suited to tanning, a large quan tity of the tubers were shipped to rarious tanneries, both in the United States and Europe 'Shis was in 1869. The results obtained were at once gratifying and encouraging to all con cerned. A number of European tanner. erected plants for extracting the acid I from tho canaigre root and adapted , their tanneries to the use of the prod uct. It will surprise most readers to learn that since that time they hava had largo forces of men employed in Sew Mexico and Arizona digging and hipping tho root. American tanners have been slow i. taking np the canaigre root, fearing the supply could not be made to anf ' swer the demand. They have lon been convinced, however, that it fur nkhe3 equally as good a tanning agenj f.s the oak or hemlock bark, and nj ' last steps are being taken to begin thj ' cultivation of the plant on a largi scale.

They draw their sustenance from the blood, and if the blood is thin, impure or insufficient, they are in a state of re volt. Their complaints aro made to the brain, the king of the body, through the nervous system, and the result of the general dissatisfaction is what we call Nervousness. This is a concise, reasonable expla nation of the whole matter. The cure for Nervousness, then, is simple. Purify and enrich your blood by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and the nerves, tissues and organs will have the healthful nourishment they crave.

"It was before I was in tho jobbing business that thera lived in Lewiston a woman who could beat all the strong men from Sampson VCyr. She was in the old grocery store on the corner one day when the proprietor pointed to a couple of flour barrels, saying, 'Mary, if you'll carry them home I'll give them to you." Sanborn, who was a trackman thirty years and who told out to James Cole, was there and offered to bet that she couldn't carry one. " 'Put them up on the counter," she said, 'and I'll take them both. "Four men lifted the barrels up and he went np to them full of confidence, and resting the bottom of one on her right hip, circled the barrel with one of her long arms and then swung around so as to grasp the other in tho same way, and, ts I live, he curYisd1 them out and along the street to a place 300 yards down the road where one of them fell and upset her balance.

He says these eight-day ftieks ore a confounded nuisance," tha bell boy said to the clerk in one of the hotels yesterday. "Tell him ho'll have to get along irith the old-stylo match," answered the clerk. "The insurance companies lon't allow parlor matches in the rooms." Tes, that's a fact," he continued, In answer to a surprised questioner. "Insurance policies of neerly all com panies prohibit tho keeping and use uf parlor matches in any part of a hotel, but they ore generally kept in tho ofiices because they aro in greater favor and more convenient than tho sulphur match, and tho requirements of the policy is to that extent over looked by both its holders and tho issuing company. There isn't much chance for an accidental ignition of a Carlor match to do much harm in a otel office, but they aro dangerous things in rooms, where carpets or cur tains or stray paper are liable to catch fire from them. They are not only more easily lighted by accident, such as stepping upon them, but, as is not generally known, they often break out in flame from spontaneous combustion. You may judge how easily this is liablo to happen by holding a bunch of them in the dark and watching tho fume that continually arises from them.

And this, summer her fa vorite niece had met Stanley Mayhew, been loved by him, loved him and promised to be his wifo. Nettio cat in the corner of a great soft sofa in tho long parlor, thinking her happy thoughts. Only thres months 1 but how well they knew each other now 1 Stanley came down from the eity every night, and every Sunday for all day, and how her contented mind teemed with sweet memories of moon light strolls on the sandy shore; of quiet hours on a rnstio bench on the hill; of crabbing and fishing in his little skiff; of long talks, only bright and friendly at first, then something more; of ths moment when h had spoke, and she had yielded her full trust to him ; of the blessed two weckf linco then. She had written to her mother and she had told her Aunt Jnlia ; and she wondered if she ought not to tell Eleanor Well. Why hadn't she? Eleanor and she were chums, and Eleanor was an old friend of Stanley's family in the city, and was the one girl beside herself to whom Stanley paid any attention. Was she, perhaps, just j the least mite jealousof that old friend- j ship, and of Stanley's frank admira tion of Eleanor?
