Currying Secret Arms.
Tn Mysore) nnil Hyderabad tho
bich'liwa (scorpion)—tho doulile
curved misericorde of tho East—is
carried by tho lower classes hidden up
llio sleeve, and is made right oir loft-
Landed to suit all tastes. It is a fav
orite and effectual weapon of assassi na
tion, being driven downward from be
hind, inside the collarbone, and is
sometimes double-bladed and poisoned,
the poison being carried in a suitable
hollow in the hilt. Tho double curvo
af the blade, deiived from that of a
cow's horn, and resembling that of a
scorpion's sting, recurs in the khanjar
and tho chilanum and throughout
Afghanistan. With a variety of this
weapon Lieutenant Willis was killed
in the bazaar at Candalmr.
The strangest of secret arms is, per
haps, the bagh nakli or tiger claw of
tho Mahrattas, with its two rings for
tho first and fourth lingers and tho
three to fivo curved steel claws,
destined to protrude from the closed
hand between the fingers and to rip
open or manglo the victim. Tho hand
half open shows only two bright rings
round tho fingers; the clenched fist
becomes the armed paw of the human
tiger. Mr. Egerton tells us how the
Mahratta leader Sivaji murdered his
enemy, Afzai Khan, after inviting him
to a conference, in which each should
come with one attendant only. Sivaji
wore a mail cap and coat under his
turban and cotton gown, had a
bich'hwa in his right sleeve and a bagh
nakh on his loft hand. The Khan had
only his sword, and sent away his fol
lower to reassure Sivaji, who was of
Bmall stature and counterfeited tim
idity. "In the midst of the customary
embrace, Sivaji struck the bagh nakh
into tho bowels of Afzai Khan, who
quickly disengaged himself, clapped
his hand on his sword, exclaiming
'Treachery and murder!" but Sivaji
instantly followed up tho blow with
his dagger. The Khan had drawn his
sword, and mado a cut at Sivaji, but
tho concealed armor was proof against
the blow. The whole was tho work
of a moment, and Sivaji was wrestling
the weapon from tho hand of his vic
tim beforo tho attendants could run
toward them."—London Saturday Re

Coir an Use for llimintltair.
Human hair is in great demand in
some of the countries of Europe, and
the supply is said to be inadequate.
Our consul in Corea points out that
there is plenty and to spare in the
hermit kingdom. "The Coreans," ho
adds, "have remarkably fine heads of
hair, and they put their combing to a
use that 1 have never seen elsewhere.
A very large number of the saddle
clothes placed under the packs of their
ponies are made of hair woven into
coarse mats or bags, and the halters
and head ropes of their animals are
largely couposed of the same material.
I believe that human hair is largely
exported from China to Europe, and
Corea could furnish a largo and cheap
supply did the people know there was
a demand for it."—Westminster Ga

NEW METHOD OF rRESEBVTNO 8008.
The desirability of shipping eggs
from Victoria to England has led to
tho discovery of a new method for pre
serving them. They are first rubbed
with grease and then placed with bran,
flour, lime and pollard in small cases.
When opened they are fonnd to be
perfectly sweet and fresh.—New York
World.
STIFFNESS IN A WORKING OX.
Overworking and exposure to the
weather afterward will easily prodnce
rhtfnmatism, and this will cause stiff
ness of tho limbs, with pains that
move from one limb to another. The
treatment in such a case should be to
foment tho parte with bot water, and
then apply some strong liniment, giv
ing thirty drops of tincturo of aconite
three times a day in some acceptable
drink, linseed or oatmeal gruel, for
instance. The animal must rest from
work, but moderate exerciso will be
nseful. It should bo kept warm aud
dry.—New York World.
Qt'ALITY OF EGOS.
There is a great difference in tho
original quality of eggs, and this has
much to do with their capacity for
keeping well. Generally, tho best
flavored eggs are laid early in the sea
son. Then the diet is mostly grain.
After the fowls begin to find young
grass growing, thoy will pick at and
eat it, and of course consume less
grain. In summer much of the food
is grass and insects. These are not
good egg-producing foods, aud though
a large number of eggs may be laid,
their quality will not be as good as it
is early in in the season. It is not the
differenco caused by deterioration 011
acoount of weather, for an egg cookod
tho same day it is laid in July is gen
erally not so good as ono that is
cooked fresh in March or April. Hence
there is good reason why oggs should
be dearer in early spring. Thoy are
bettor then, and for their price fur
nish a cheaper and better food than
tho same money invested in meats.
The fact may also explain ono reason
why limed oggs are so generally unsat
isfactory. They are always tho cheap
and poor quality summer eggs. They
are inferior when put up, and cannot
be expected to improve by keeping
fivo or six months, oven whenuir is ex
cluded. —Boston Cultivator.
SEED WHEAT.
Heavy weight seed wheat contains a
larger quantity of more valuable food
materials for tho young plant in the
form of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash than light weight wheat of tho
same variety. Experiments at tho
Minnosota station by H. Snyder show
that this additional reserve food is |
supplied to the young plants aud pro
duces a more vigorous growth. The |
additional fertilizer material in a
bushel of heavy weight wheat is worth :
from three to five cents more per I
bushel at the markot pricos of com
mercial fertilizers. Hellriegel in Ger
many lias also proved that the heavier
tho seed the more vigorous is the
young plaut, and where there was not
an over-abundance of plant food in tho
soil tho difference in vigor of the
plants aro seen even up to the timo of
harvest. Tho Minnesota experiments
provo that tho same characteristic
differences that aro noted between
heavy and light weight seed wheat
aro observed betweeu healthy and vig
orous, aud poor and sickly wheat
plants, both iu growth and yield. The
wlieat plnnt takes up over three
fourths of its food from the soil bo
fore heading out. Tho soil should be
cultivated and managed iu such a way
BO as to supply tho growing wheat
crop with at least three-fourths of its
mineral food, aud seveu-oigliths of its
nitrogen compound before it blooms,
which occurs in Juno or early iu July,
accordiug to tho latitude. American

TRAINING A HORSE.

SOURCE OP THE BUTTER FLAVOR.
Tho butter aroma appears in the
bntter as the result of tho ripening
process. Sweet-cream butter does not
have this delicate flavor, and whilo
there is a demand, in our markets,
perhaps a growing demand, for a
sweet-cream butter, it never develops
the delicato flavor known as the but
ter aroma. During ripening certain
changes take place in tho cream, some
of which we understand and others
which are at present beyond tho
reach of chomical knowledge. Tho
composition of cream is essentially tho
same as that of milk excopt in the
higher proportion of fat. It is mado
np chiefly of butter fat in the form of
globules, of casein in a partial sus
pension in the liquid, of milk Bugar in
solution, and of a small amount of al
bumen, probably partly in solution
and partly in tho form of an extreme
ly delicato network of fibers which we
call fibrin. Cream always contains a
largo number of bacteria, yeasts and
molds, which are the active agents in
ripening. The sources of theso micro
organisms are varied. They are not
present in the milk when secreted by
tho cow, but find their way into it
in a variety of ways. Borne come from
the air; some from the hairs of tho
cow ; some from tho dust of tho barn ;
somo from tho hands of the. milker ;
somo from the milk vessels, and others
from other sources of contamination.
Tho chances of contamination are suf
ficient to stock tho milk with an
abundance of theso organisms under
all circumstances. By tho time the
cream has reached the creamery il
contains a quantity of organisms
varying widely with temperature ami
other conditions, and it is to these thai
the subsequent ripening is due.
During tho period of ripening, the
organisms are growing and producing
profound changes in tho cream. Bac
teria are primarily destructive agents.
During their growth they are pulling
to pieces some of tho chemical com
pounds of tho cream and reducing
them to a condition of greater sim
plicity, giving rise in thiß way to a
great number of so-called decomposi
tion products. Chemistry has not yet
explained all of these changoß. A few
of them wo partially understand. Wo
know that somo of tho organisms act
upon milk sugar, converting it
into lactic acid, with tho production
of carbonic acid gas as a by-product.
AVe know, also, that sometimes butyric
acid is produced, and that sometimes
ferments, similar to rennet aud tryp
sin, make their appearance in ripen
ing cream. Alcohol is also a common
product, so much so that tho butter
flavor lias sometimes been attributed
to this product alone.—Storrs Agri
cultural Expel iment Bulletin.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

air and water, aud sweep up the dead
ones.
Eggs stored in a damp place will
often taste musty even though the test

A safe rule with peaches is always
to set thorn on an elevation, the high

X A NEW FLOOR COVERING.
Among the fresher novelties for th®
housekeeper is tho reversible rubber
rug or carpot. Tho fabric consists of
a thin sheet of perforated rubber cloth,
similar to that used in tho manufac
ture of boots. Tho yarn is forced
through the little holes. It is then
automatically spread on both sides of
the rubber sheeting, and the rug is
manufactured. Tho strong features
of tho product are its durability and
its reversibility ; also its low cost of
manufacture. In appearance it looks
exactly like a moquette or other pile
fabric, and only an examination would
reveal the difference in structure.
Jute, as a filling, being done away
with, the only expense is for yarn and
rubber. —Carpet Trade.
CHEMISTRY OF THK RAKED POTATO.
Usually the first vegetable prescribed
by tho physician for tho sick person
who is beginning to use solids is a baked
potato. A baked potato, however, may
be no better than a boiled one unless
it be done in so high a temperature
that tho starch is affected. Boiled
potatoes can not bo subjected to a
higher temperaturo than 212 degrees
Fahrenheit. Baked potatoes may bo
done in such a way that they aro but
a little better than boiled—for in
stance, done in a slow oven. On the
other hand if they are put into a tem
perature of 380 to 400 degrees Fahren
heit, or what is called a "hot oven,"
they will bo done in such a manner
that the conversion of starch will in a
degree take place and tho potato bo
consequently palatable and easily di
gested. Potatoes roasted in hot ashes
or embers are delicious and for tdo
same reason. Tho high degree of heat
cooks the starch properly.—New York
World.
SENSIBLE TOILET COVERS.
If a room needs new toilet covers
after tho spring house cleaning, make
them from white cotton point d'esprit
laid over a color, aud edge each piece
with a frill of the same, run with baby
ribbons. A set seen recently was of
white over pale orange. Cut a piece of
white muslin or cheesecloth the size
of the top of tho dresser, and other
places for which you want tho covers,
lay ovor them u thin layer of cotton
sprinkled with violet powdor, then
tack on a covering of colored sateen.
Cut the piece of lace considerably
larger than the linings, and catch the
extra fulness here and there to the
lining, so that, when finishod, the lace
will lay up lightly and have a slightly
crumpled look. Make a wide frill of
the lace, turn in a wide hem, and over
the hem and just above it sow on the
baby ribbon. Set on tho frill with a
hoading. Make a cover for your pin
cushion, if you use one, in tho same
way, but without any lining.—New
York Post.
A OOOD KITCHEN.
The wiso woman makes her kitchen
comfortable. If she is her own maid
of all work she finds that tho trouble
and thought she spends on that hum
ble room aro very wisely spent. If
sho has a servant she will find that tho
comfort of the kitchen will often be
the measuro of tho servant's stay and
her willingness to work.
The floor should be painted. There
should be neatly bound mats or carpet
here and there, but no tacked or "put
down" rug. The walls, when it is pos
sible, should bo covered with lino
leum, tiles or something equally dur
able aud easy to keep clean. There
should bo light colored Holland
shades at the windows and short sash
curtains of whito dottod muslin. There
I should be, if possible, a safe with
glass doors through which tho blue
and white crockery, the tin and cop
per vessels may be seen without gath
ering dust and smoke. There should
be at least one shelf where cook books
may repose and another where bright,
hardy, heat loving flowers may bloom.
A kitchen clock should provide the
experiment of aceuracy for the culi
nary experiments, and a big splint
bottomed rocker should bo one of tho
prominent furnishings of the room.—

itching and burning in tl- > vagina, also pal
pitation of the heart. When I began taking

live. Through the "ill of Wtl, and your

How (>ol<l Loses by Abrasion.
Gold while in circulation is handled
less than any other medium. It is
usually kept in tho vaults of banks for
demands rarely made, and for this
reason the loss by abrasion is about
one-half of ono per cent, in any
twenty years. In a S2O gold piece,
the standard weight of which is 510
grains, tho Government allowanco for
loss by abrasion is 2.58 grains, but,
except in cases where tho coins havo
been tampered with by "sweaters,"
the loss rarely exceeds this limit.—

Smallest Hook ill the World.
The smallest book in the world i3
said to bo a New Testament. It was
printed with type of very small size,
which could bo used but once, as it
was found to be impossible to distrib
ute them after the impression had
been printed. The page is an inch
long by three-quarters of an inch
wide, and the volume, including covers,
is exactly a quarter of an inch thick.
