Exploits ot a Fakir,
Inn sliort timo tho fakir had suffi
ciently recovered from liis trance to
stand up, and when the sheik pointed
to tho brazier, ho thrust his hand
into it, seized some of the live coals,
blew them until they emitted sparks,
bit oft' pieces of them, as one would
bite an apple, and eagerly ate them up.
He then went to a large prickly cactus,
which was standing on the platform,
plucked a leaf armed with strong
spines, bit of a piece, and swallowed
it. With "equal avidity ho crunched
and consumed thin sheets of glass.
Fragments of the cactus and the glass
were handed to the spectators, who ex
amined them and convinced them
selves that they were really the sub
stances they wero represented to be.
An attendant brought in a shovel, tho
iron part of which was red hot, so that
a bit of paper thrown upon it Hashed
at once into flume. The fakir took tho
wooden handle of the shovel with tho
right hand, placed his left on the glow
ing iron plate, which he also licked
with apparent relish, and then stood
upon it with his baro feet until it be
camo black. This last exploit
filled tho air with a faint odor of
btirned horn. A sword, so sharp that
it cut a piece of paper in two when
drawn across tho edge, was handed to
tho fakir, who thrust it with all his
force against his throat, his breast and
his sides. The s\yord was then held in
a horizontal position about three feet
from tho' ground with the edge up
ward, by the servant who took hold
of the point, which was wrapped in
several folds of cloth for the protec
tion of his hand, and by another
'Aissaui, who held it by the hilt. Tho
fakir placed his hands on the shoulders
of the two men and, leaping up bare
foot on tho edge of the sword, stood
thero for sonic seconds. Ho then
stripped and, resting his naked ab
domen on tho edge of the sword,
balanced himself in tho air without
touching the floor with his feet, the
sheik meanwhile pressing down upon
the fakir's back with tho whole weight
of ' his body. Popular Science

FEEDING TOTING CALVES.
It should not bo forgotten that milk
has much solid substance, and does net
supply all the water a young calf needs.
[ may often suffer from thirst while
oeing fed wholly on milk. A drink of
water should, therefor be given to
the young calves daily, especially dur
ing the very hot weather.—American
Agriculturist.
OBANGE BOXES FOR HEN NESTS.
Orange boxes make good nests and
can bo bought for a small sum, or got
for nothing oftentimes from a fruit
dealer. If you have a well-planned
poultry house it would be neater and
more convenient to have a row of mov
able nesting compartments, each hooded
together so that they may be quickly
separated and cleaned when necessary.
Earth, under a layer of hay or straw,
is considered a good material for a
nost of a sitter; the moisture from the
earth is distributed in moderation over
tho eggs, making, them hatch more
easily at the proper time —Now York
Independent.
MAKING FIIOWEBB PBOFITABJ.E.
We don't mean that tho farmer who
grows flowers should vie with tho flor
ist in selling what he produces to the
publio. It is possible that the flowers
produced by the farmer would come
mostly at times when such flowers were
abundant, and brought low prices.
But they are worth just as much to
beautify liiriiomo and give pleasure to
the farmer's wife and family as if they
sold at winter hot house prices. It is
because farmers do not realize the
pleasures and comforts they get from
the farm that they think farming don't
pay. Few rich men can deck their
tables with flowers half the year at
least as can the farmer if he tries. He
can with some hardy perrennials begin
about as soon as enow is off in spring,
and decorate his rooms with these and
their successors until snow flies in the
fall. When a farmer does this one or
two years he will probably try hard for
a greenhouse, and thus get more pleas
ure, though of course with somo addi
tional work. It is not easy to gain
honest pleasure in this world without
working for it, and it is always the
work that precedes that makes the
pleasure more welcome and enjoyable.
—Boston Cultivator.
MTT.K AS MEDICINE.
In the long, trying days of summer,
men who work as hard as the average
dairyman does will be weary with the
strain that they undergo. Mind and
body will be tired, and night finds
them nervous and out of temper. When
this condition is reached, there is noth
ing s<> useful to work a cure as a glass
of milk. It should be heated to about
ninety-nine degrees and sipped a little
at a time, and nothing in the way of
food taken with it other than a very
small piece of bread and butter and
eaten slowly. Such treatment will
more quickly restore a man with nerves
unstrung and temper ready to explode
to a normal, mental and physical con
dition, than anything elso that is
known. It will work with women
equally well, anil as it is always in the
house a daily trial of it according to
directions will result in improvement
of nervous troubles that are often,
when left to grow, the fore runners of
protracted illness. Physicians in the
search for remedies for diseases that
drugs cannot euro hav • taken up milk
and are surprised at tho results. It
has brought health where their knowl
edge had decreed death must occur.
A western exchange tells us of a case
of woman, where the physician had
pronounced her incurable, getting well
and staying so oil a few ounces of
cream used daily with thy addition of
some sponge cake. Sip warm milk
when you feel out of sort)'. It will re
lieve your nerves and fortify your
stomach, and tho world vr»ll look
brighter to you after you have tukeu
it.—American Dairyman.

grow tomatoes is to throw out the soil
to the depth of two feet, with an equal
diameter. Put six inohes of well rotted
manure at the bottom and fill the hole
with the material thrown out, made
rich. Where there is sufficient ground
the hills should be eight feet apart.
Plants treated in this way will yield far
more fruit than if planted closer. The
plants when set should be short and
stocky. Those frequently sold in the
markets, and set in the usual way, will
not produce as much fruit, or as quickly,
as would the plants from seed sown
where they are to grow. Tall leggy
plants can be planted to advantage by
inserting the plant a little distance from
the center of the hill prepared for it,
then bending the plant down and cov
ering it with earth to the depth of an
inch, leaving the top out more than
two inches. The plant will immediately
commence throwing out roots thickly
the whole length of the buried stem,
and make a strong rapid growing plant.
The same plant treated in the usual
manner, seems to grow smaller, instead
of larger, for some days or weeks. If
the plant has plenty of room to spread,
it does best when trailing upon the
ground, the influence of the warm earth
being very beneficial upon the ripen
ing of'tho fruit. But in wet seasons
there are serious objections to this
plan, as the fruit is quite liable to rot
if lying on wet ground. Yet in average
seasons the chances are in favor of ' 'm>
care" in training the plants. The num
ber of first class scrts is now so great
that in the selection of varieties, one
must be guided by individnnl prefer
ence. A medium sized fruit, perfectly
smooth, of bright red color, ripening
evenly clear to tho stem, without a
hard center, and with as little seed as
possible, is the nearest approach to
perfection. Yet under different con
ditions the same seed produces very
different results. For a late crop it is
advisable to sow some Beed where the
plants are to grow, about the first of
June, or at any time before tho 15th.
The plants will come into bearing when
tho oarly set plants begin to fail. Tho
cutting off of tho first fruits that eet is
strongly to bo urged. These early
fruits rarely make good specimens, as
the plant at that time has not sufficient
strength for their development.—
American Agrtculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Turnips are one of tho best-paying
crops.
Cold storage for frnit is strongly rec
ommended.
Manure and cultivation should go
hand in hand.
The cherry does well with grass
about its roots.
More tomatoes are used than any
other vegetable.
Thinning tho fruit improves both
quantity and quality.
Out hay, with ground foed, is most
economical for horses.
Do not manure the roots of young
trees when sotting them.
The loss of bees will be lessened by
keeping them in darkness.
For a late tomato crop, sow the seed
about the beginning of Juno.
The Italian bee is generally con
sidered the best for all purposes.
In order to keep beetles off cucum
bers, cover tho plants with netting.
To destroy dandclious, cut r.way tho
crown of the plant with a sharp knife.
Is is said that lieou will sometimes
itv a distance of six miles for white
clover.
Cabbages may be fed to cows at
night, after milking, without flavoring
tho milk.
If the bee-keeper's supply of honey
is small, he will find it butter io sell it
near home. •
Plack bees are not considered so
liable to the "nameless bee disease"
as the Italians.
Tf only the best fruits are grown
there will be little danger of overdoing
the fruit business.
A safe rule to follow is to cultivate
i all uewly planted fruit trees the same
I us a crop of corn or potatoes.
Healed covers ate nit to b* recom
mended, pwr'.iciiluily in a severe win
-1 t r, with bees iu the open air.
A succession of sweet corn may be
st cured for the season by planting
different varieties the same day.
The Italian la the most prolific and
best all-?oiiud Itee. With its long
tongue it is able togo right to the
bottom of the flowers, as the block bee

flour as a wmwn.
Flour has long beeu known as an
excellent purifier. Children's hoods of
Angora wool may be perfectly re-
Stored, when soiled, by rubbing them
with flonr that has been made very hot.
When the flour is cold, pin the hoods
on a line and leave them in a strong
wind, or beat thoroughly with a rat
tan. Angora fur may be cleansed in
the same way. The flour must be
stirred while heating to prevent scorch
ing.—New York World.
HOW TO SCOTIR WATER BOTTLES.
Carafes, which have so largely re
placed the ico pitcher, are really very
pleasing and refreshing to look at if
they are kept fastidiously clean nnd
bright. Unfortunately the purest water
obtainable very soon dulls the inside,
and it isn't every one who knows a
quick and easy method of removing
this.
A very simple thing to do is to tear
a newspaper into small bits and nearly
or quite fill the carafe. Then pour in
warm soapsuds with a little ammonia
added, and shake well. The paper will
soon scour the inside of the bottle
thoroughly clean, and it only remains
to rinse it well before using again.—
New York Herald.
WORTH KNOWING.
Put powdered or dissolved copperas
down the sink and other drain pipes
as often as once a week, and Hush
them well on washing days.
For frost bites keep away from tlio
fire and rub the parts affected with
snow or ice water until thawed, then
treat ss you would a burn.
When the eyes sre tired, or inflamed
from loss of sleep, apply an old linen
handkerchief dripping with water as
hot as you can possibly bear it.
To throw water on burning kerosene
only the danger by causing
the oil to spread, but salt, flour or
comineal will quickly smother the
flames.
In ordinary burns and scalds the
only remedy required is to thoroughly
exclude the air from the injured part.
Cotton batting will do this more effec
tually.
To relieve pain from bruises, and
prevent discoloration und subsequent
stiffness, nothing is more efficacious
than fomentations of water us hot as
it can bo borne.
Five or ten minutes spent every
morning during winter in rubbing the
body briskly with a Hesh brush or
pieco of flannel over the hand, will do
much to keep the skin active and pre
vent colds.—American Agriculturist.
MOTIIS.
Among the many duties demanding
the housekeeper's attention is the work
of putting awuy clothing, so as to pre
vent the ravages of the moth, writes
Mrs. E. R. Farker in the Courier-
Journal.
Furs are usually the most difficult to
care for. They should be brushed and
well beaten to dislodge any moth eggs
that may have beet deposited in them,
and then hung in the sun. Woolen
dresses, overcoats, flannel underwear
and extra blankets not needed for sum
mer use should all undergo careful ex
amination and airing, preparatory to
being stowed away for the summer.
The old-fashioned custom of our
grandmothers—that of packing woolen
goods in boxes with gum camphor or
tobacco--is now declared ?t failure,and
if we remember the many moth-eaten
articles we have seen como forth
from trunks and boxes, redolent with
these particular odor*, one will agree
with tho modern idea as to their want
of efticaey. Many women take the
precautionary measure of folding in
papers and sowing up in cotton bags,
but none of these are wholly safe, as
the only gnarauteo ugaiunt moths iw to
keep the moth miller from depositing
its eggs, which they seem to do before
it can be prevented in the spring. I
have recently noticed an excellent bag,
which seems to b{> the best article to
use in putting away woolens and furs;
it is airtight and entirely free from any
unpleasant odor. Garments can be
put iu und taken out of these bags
with ease, rendering oue always sure
of their condition.
For putting away the wiuter wear,
articles of a kind should be put to
gether, as it sometimes causes delay
aud trouble to have to hunt through
bugs or boxes when some particular
garment is needed. It is uu excellent
plan to mark each tmg ou the outside,
so the contents will bo known without
opening.
Proper attention given the worktiiis
m»nth will relieve the. housekeeper of
all unviety on the subject, as well a»
saving much expense by keeping tin
woolen clothes in good condition for
another scuaoa.

What a Simoon Is.
"Perhaps the Asiatic type of cyclone,
known as the simoon, is the most re
markable phenomenon of the earth,"
began Colonel Samuel Knoop, who is
at the Laclede. "In my travels about
the world I have never as yet observed
any such appalling scene as that of a
simoon sweeping its course in tho dis
tance. Cyclones in this Western hemi
spere are usually accompanied by great
masses of clouds and drenching rain
storms. The simoon of Asia is quite
different. I have stood on the Arabian .
desert where my eye could sweep the
distant horizon in every direction with
out encountering one object to vary
the monotony of the scene. Over this
vast sea of glowing sand it seemed ns
though not so much as a breath of air
was straying. In such dull, oppres
sive moments the natives j«erceivo tho
first premonition of the awful simoon.
Such knowledge was of little avail, how
ever, for on that wido limitless stretch
of inland sea, like the great bosom of
tho ocean, one place was as safe as an
other.
"The great sand storm would como
and sweep its way without any definite
path and with no prospect of any sud
den variation from its course. Hero
wo have a storm heralded by fierce
winds, clouds, lightning and thunder.
On the great desert of Arabia tho si
moon is heralded by nothing more
than a small, dark speck in tho distant
sky. As this approaches the atmos
phere becomes stilling and oppressive
to an unbearable degree. Tho speck
in question does not develop into a sky
mantle of clouds, but its destructive
force is nono the less diminished. It
sweeps a path equal to its width and
carries with it numberless pillars ol
sand that arc constantly rising and fall
ing like a forest of swaying toplcse
trees. I never was in one, but I liavt
stood oil tho desert when one was pass
ing in the distance and it reminded 1110
of the shadow of a cloud passing ovei
a sunlit plain." —St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Mystery ot a Mndatone Ex|>laiue<l.
"Hero is something that will interest'
you," said a physician, an he placed a
lump of slaty-looking stone in the
lmnds of a scribe. "A patient of mine
gavo me that this morning with as
grand an air as if she were giving we
a silver dinner service. No doubt she
thought it had as great a value. It's
a madstono. You've read accounts of
them. Put them on a dog bite and
they will suck it and give off green
froth and all that sort of rubbish.
There's 110 such thing as a madstone in
tho world. Touch the stone to your
tongue. Notice anything? Sticks,
A Matter of Health
IT costs more to make Royal Baking Powder
than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive. But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost of Royal over the best of the others
does not equal the difference in leavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required, the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used.
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety. All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.
