Danger From Mental Shocks.
It appears from the recent discus
sions of the pan-American medical con
gress that there is lunch less fatality
attending a night than a day accident
on the rail. Many expert surgeons de
clared that this was the case, and at
tributed the difference to the mental
strain, which is much greater l>y day
than it is when darkness veils the hor
rors of the scene. The mental shock,
the railway surgeons say, is greatest
where through the sense of sight the
injured is conscious for a few moments
of approaching danger. The case of
the brakeman who, while making a fly
ing switch, catches his foot in the frog,
is a good illustration. Ho cannot tear
himself loose, lie sees the loose ear
coming down, and knows what is going
to happen. The mental shock to that
man makes his condition much worse
than that of a man whose foot is cauglit
aiul crushed so suddenly that he does
not have time to appreciate the im
pending danger. The railway sur
geons say that many fatalities occur
for which this mental shock is respon
sible, rather than the physical injury.
They say that experience proves in
juries at night to be less likely to prove
fatal. They account for this by the
fact that the injured has not been able
to comprehend what was coming, as
he might have done in the daytime.

niOH ROOSTS.
The roosts should not bo high, es
pecially if the birds fire large aud
heavy. By observing hens when they
goon the roosts at night it will be
uotice.l that when the roost is high it
is with difficulty that some of them
reach it and secure positions. Before
all of the members of the Hock get
settled there will be several falls from
the perch, duo to the general scramblo
for favorite places, and when leaving
the roost iu tho morning tho heavy
birds come to the floor with moro
force than is beneficial, the result (be
ing leg difficulties and sometimes)in
ternal injuries.— Chicago Times.
TAINTED MILK.
The causes of tainted milk havo been
classified by Doctor Gerbcr us follows :
1. Poor fodder.
'2. Poor, dirty water, used not, only
for watering tho cows, but also for
washing the cans.
3. Poor air where the cows are.
4. UucleuulinesM in milking.
5. Keeping the milk too long in too
warm ami poorly ventilated places.
0. Noglecting to cool and aerate the
milk quickly after milking.
7. Ijack of cleanliness in tho care of
tho milk.
8. Poor transportation.
9. Sick cows.
10. The cows being in heat.
FOOD FOR GROWING STOCK.
The feeding of young animals is a
very important part of the business of
a farmer anil requires study, for two
especial'reasons. One is that what is
lost by neglect in the youth of iiuy
animal can never be regained by any
future care and liberality; aud the
second that a young animal in its early
life is ouly able to digest food under
imperfect conditions. The stomach
and other digestive organs of a young
animal are fitted at first only for the
digestion of milk, und this must be its
staple food for a much longer time
than is the custom to provide it. It is
only when the teeth are formed and fit
for use that the parotid glands and
pancreas begin to secrete the sub
stance that is needed for the digest ion
of any food that contains starch, for
starch is not itself absorbed, but only
as it is changed into sugar by the action
of this fluid. Thus it is ouly courting
dauger and attempting impossibilities
to try to rear a healthy and profitable
calf without milk, unless by the use of
some specially prepared foods that may
be digestible by the young animal.
This fact accounts for the invariable
diarrhoea that follows the nse of any
kind of grain foods in the feeding of
young calves, aud proves the necessity
for as long feeding with milk as may
be possible.—American Agriculturist.
SUCCESSIVE OAT CROPS.
There is good reason why the oat
crop should be the most exhaustive of
any of the grains. Its leaf is not so
broad as that of barley or wheat, and
it sends its roots very much farther
than does barley at least. Wheat roots
reach down into the subsoil and get
moisture, and probably also some plant
food, where the spring grain would
not reach. Oat roots completely fill
the surface soil to the depth of the
plowing. It is this which makes it so
hard to get a good cateli of clover, and
tl.'s failure to get a good clover growth
is usually the reason why the land is
left till another year and sown with
oats again. We havo known several
cases in which successive oat crops
were grown for several years, with the
result of so entirely destroying the
soil's fertility that the lund would
scarcely produce white beans. Clay
land is most often injured by crop
ping with oats, and the effect on such
soil is to harden it into clods. Where
land has been made poor by oat grow
ing one of the best ways to restore it
is to plow in the full and sow a crop
of peas with whatever fertilizer can be
got. Peas make more shade for the
ground, aud tlioy will get much of the
plant food they need from the air.
Peas are besides a better grain to seed
with clover tlianistlie oat. We mean,
of course, peas sown broadcast and
coveriug the whole surface of the
ground. —American Cultivator.

HOW TO SAVE EXPENSE.
The ability to use tools au.l to do
work neatly has a strong tendency to
improve a man's taste iu keeping his
buildings, fences and machinery iu
good repair. Of course it is easy togo
to an extreme iu this regard anil at
tempt to do work that should rightly
be done by a regular mechanic, or to
goto the other extreme aud be con
tinually running to the shop or for tho
mechanic to do what, could in many
cases be readily done by the farmer at
a considerable saving. There are
times when to be obliged to stop the
work of the farm anil go several miles
to town to get a small job of repairing
dono would entail a considerable loss.
At other times when not interfering with
the farm work it would be more econo
mical to hire the work done than to
take your own time.
Because of your ability to do nearly
or quite all kinds of small repairing it
does not by any means imply that you
should always do it or that you can al
ways save money by doing it. The con
ditions should always be considered.
One farmer may bo so situated that it
will be best to do everything himself.
Another will find it more economical
to depend upon having the greater
purt of this kind of work done. But.
the knowledge of how to do work will
not be lost oven if not used at every
opportunity.
On many farms, after the wheat,
oats and hay are harvested, there is a
short season that can be spared to a
good advantage in fixing tip the farm.
The farmer himself may not be able to
hire mechanical help, lint if he can do
this kind of work himself ho can pro
vide shelter for his stock, his feed and
his machinery at a much less cost than
if obliged to depend entirely upon
hired help. He may also be able to
paint his house, his wagon or ma
chinery, do necessary repairing about
the building that will help preserve
aud make it moro comfortable when
otherwise it would be necessary to let
go. In many cases if work of this
kind can be done in good season con
siderable saving can be made over what
might be the cost if obliged to wait
some time.
Keeping everything neat aud trim
about the farm not only adds to its ap
pearance but increases its value, gives
the farmer a better reputation among
liis neighbors and is really the most
economical, but iu many cases the
farmer cunuot have the work done,
and not being a mechanical genius
liitnself, it is left undone.
When the farmer cau do reasonably
fair work a small outfit of necessary
tools will be foutnl a profitable invest
ment. This should also include three
or four paint brushes aud oil, aud
either Spanish brown or Venetian red
for painting tools aud implements.
The amount, or rathor number, of
tools a farmer should own can best bo
determined by his ability to use them.
Money invested in tools that are not
used is so much dead capital. A vise,
drill, set of bits and brace, set of
augers, set of saws and planes, a shoe
maker's outfit and harnessmaker's out
fit, such as are advertised, with rivets
and copper wire, a supply of nails aud
bolts, will enable the farmer to do a
very considerable amount of work fix
ing up aud keeping up buildings and
machinery. This implies a tool house,
not only to keep the tools but to work
in, as in this way many little jobs of
repairing may be .lone on rainy days.
—Nebraska Farmer.

CHEESE OMELET.
Maria Parloa, in Good Housekeep
ing, says: For three or four people
use two ounces of stale bread, free
from crust, two ounces of grated or
finely broken cheese, one gill of boil
ing water, one gill of cold milk, one
level teaspoonful of salt, a grain of
cayenne, one tablespoonful of butter
and two eggs. Have tho bread broken
into small pieces and pour the boiling
water over it. When soft, add the
salt., pepper aud milk and break up
fine. Beat, the yolks and white of the
eggs separately and stir them into the
mixture. Add the cheese. Put the
butter into a frying-pan aud set over
a hot fire. When the butter is so hot
that it begins to turn brown, pour in
the omelet and cook until it begins to
get set, drawing the mixture back n
little as you would a plain omelet.
Now fold it aud let it brown slightly.
Turn out on a hot dish and serve im
mediately.
HOW TO PREPARE POULTRY.
In preparing poultry for cooking
here are a few rules to follow: Chick
ens, iluckH, capons aud turkeys should
bo killed at least twenty-four hours
before using. AVhen well picked, singe
bv removing the stove cover and put
ting some paper in. Pats the bird
over the flame, taking care not to
blacken or burn it. Cut the neck oil
as near the body as possible. Cut the
joint; with your forefinger loosen tho
crop and take it out. Cut a slip un
der the rump large enough to run the
hand into the body, l'ut the hand in
carefully to loosen the contents of the
body and stomach in every direction
so that all may be drawn out iu one
mass. Pour warm water through the
bird and wipe out with a towel. Cut
the gall from the liver, then throw the
liver iuto cold water. Scald ond skin
flic feet; put gizzard, heart, feet, and
neck in a pint e>r more water, with a
little onion. Let them stew slowly
until reduced one-half. All poultry
needs just this treatment.—New York
Advertiser.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
To remove paint stains apply tur
pentine at once, if possible.
For asthma soak blotting paper in
strong saltpeter water; dry, aud burn
at night.
Clear, black coffee diluted with water
and containing a little ammonia will
clean and restore black clothes.
Pour diluted carbolic acid at once
upon every pari of a poisonous wouud ;
afterward give internal stimulants.
If the eyes are weakened by close
work, such as paintiug, embroidery or
reading, bathe them frequently in
weak alum water.
To cleause cut glass, wash it in tepid
water and dry thoroughly. Polish
with a brush used for flic purpose aud
prepared chalk.
Before beginniug to seed raisins
cover them with hot water aud let
them stand fifteen minutes. Tho seeds
can then be removed easily.
A poultice made of Indian' meal,
covered with Young Hyson tea, mois
tened with hot water and laid on a
burn will relieve the paiu iu five min
utes.
For moist hands ninety grains of
eau «le cologne and fifteen grains of
hclitidoua is au excellent lotion, after
the use of which dust with powdered
slum.
Oue of the best remedies for tooth
ache is the common compound tinc
ture of benzoin. If a few drops are
placed on cotton and putin or around
the tooth the paiu will lie almost in
stantly stopped.
For laundry use kerosene is very ef
fectual iu whitening clothes. A half
a tcacupful in a boiler of clothes will
produce a most satisfactory result.
Yet care must be exercised when tistug
this explosive material.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Frogs Fontl of Wasps.
As you and your readers seem in
terested in odds and ends of natural
history, I send you one which may he
worth publishing, writes R. E. Bart
lett. Some time ago I discovered ac
cidentally that frogs are voracious
eaters of wasps. I have in my garden
a tank for watering ami an island of
rock-work, which is a favorite haunt
of the frogs. The wasps just now are
carrying on araidagainst my fruit, and
when I wish to gratify my revenge
and my frogs, I catch a marauder be
tween a post card and an inverted wine
glass, carry him off to the tank, wet
his wings to prevent liis flying, and
set him on tlio rock-work before the
frogs. After a moment's pause, a frog
Advances and in an instant the wasp
has disappeared, drawn into the frog's
mouth by a singlo dart of his long
tongue. Occasionally the wasp reap
pears, wholly or partially, having
made it unpleasant for the frog; but
he is almost always swallowed in the
end. Usually convulsive movements
may be noticed iu the frog's throat and
body, as though the process of degluti
tion were not quite easy ; but tlint. they
like the diet is evident from the fact
that a single smallish frog has been
known to take three wasps one after
another. Indeed, it is remarkable
what very small frogs, quite infants,
will swallow a wasp with avidity. This
afternoon a tiny frog swallowed a full
grown wasp, when a big relative went
for him quite savagely, like a big
schoolboy thrnsliiug a small one for
presuming to be helped before him.—

Egypt Has Banished the Bastinado.
A newspaper man has been inter
viewing Zoulfiear Ibrahim Bey, a judge
of the criminal courts of Alexandria,
Egypt, on the administration of jus
tice iu that country. The judge was
educated in the French Military School
at St. Cyr, and speaks French like n
Parisian. When asked whether the
bastinado was still inflicted in the po
lice courts of Egypt he denied it em
phatically, and said that any police
man of that, land who dared to strike a
citizen would be. punished very se
verely. "It is expressly prohibited,"
he said. "Our police are organized to
preveut violence, and not to have re
course to it. And iu that connection
I am glad to learn that the New York
police are prohibited the use of the
club. The days of the old barbaric
punishments have long gone by, and
for many years we have been governed
by the code Napoleon. Our punish
ments are simply line and imprison
ment for ordinary offenses, the gal
leys, where the convicts work in chain
gangs, for graver crimes, and the cap
ital penalty for murder, which, how
ever, is moro rarely inflicted year
after year."
(•ernis in the Air.
If yon want to get a notion of the
prevalence of germs in the air. set a
glass of fresh water on the mantlepiece
and leave it there for three or four
days. At tin' end of that time it will
be covered with a sort of scum which
looks like a layer of dust. This scum,
when examined under a microscope,
will be found to be a mass of living
micro-orgauisms. —Washington Star.

The Savage Soudanese.
Fine fighters tho Soudanese, tliey
tell me, ami veritable savages in their
lust for blood. Not HO very long ago,
iu one of their encounters with tho
dervishes, they drove a dozen of them
into a native house, and having set tiro
to it bayoneted them as they eamo
running out. Ono of the Soudanese,
a huge fellow, begged hard to take his
stand nt the door, for, said he, he
hadn't killed a mini for h fortnight.
And when the next dervish appeared
he ran him through and hoisted him
baek into the burning house, like mud
into a London mudeart. Hut tho
dervish, writhing on the steel, man
aged to bend and clutch the soldier's
mouth, and tore his lip and cheek up
as far as his eye.—Cornhill Magazine.
