Floating Balloon Basket. An apparatus for floating a balloon basket in tho event of its falling into the sea has been invented by a French man, says the Philadelphia Record. It consists of a cylinder of membrane, which is automatically inflated by pressing a button, and is claimed to render the basket or car unsinkable. The apparatus is capable of buoying up two persons.

MKMITIiINI pmii i>l HONBT IIOCTJST FOR AX HELVES. I have made a discovery—new to me, at least—that the timber of the honey locust, Gleditsohia triaoantha, is as good, or nearly, as hiokory for ax helves and handles of all kinds, writes E. S. Gilbert to the New York Tribune. The sap wood of the yellow locust is not much good. The honey locust, like the hickory, has strong timber clear to the bark, at least in young trees. The honey locust is eas ier to start from the seed than the other. Tho nurseries sell the year ling plants for almost nothing; it has no borer that I know of; its tough limbs are not torn off by the wind ; it seldom suckers, and is perhaps the hardier of the two. A butt I cut this fall has annual layers half an inch thick, and the wood is hard and heavy. A GREAT FIE APFLE. We have recently mentioned the Ben Davis as a leading profitable or chard fruit, both at the West and the East. That veteran fruit grower of Missouri, Judge Samuel Miller, says of it, that, while not first rate in qual ity, the vigor, productiveness and early boaring of the tree render it safe to plant extensively. Even in Eng land it is reported to give satisfaction. The fruit dried or evaporated is white and good; it makes excellent cider and is fino in apple butter. For pies it is a great favorite; a bakery in Chicago, which turns out 10,000 pies daily, uses the Ben Davis exclusively. Fruit of this tree grown on an up land, on trees not overloaded, is quite different from the product of over loaded trees on bottom land.—Culti vator and Country Gentleman. A NEGLECTED BUT VALUABLE PEAR. The Forelle pear is seldom seen, but it has so many good qualities that it merits a muoh more general planting. It is called by the Germans, from whom wo have it, Forellen-birne, i.e., Trout pear, booause it is speckled like the brook trout. Tho pear is below medium in size, inclining to pyri form in shape. When fully ripe, it is of yellow lemon color, with a deep red cheek on tho sunny side, marked with bright crimson specks. The tree is a good grower and a regular boarer. It is fine grained, buttery and melting in quality. It ripens late in October and with care may be kept until Christmas. With our modern cold storage facilities, there would not be the slightest trouble in prolonging its Beason until well along in January and perhaps later.—American Agricultur ist. THE BEECH AS A ROADSIDE TREE. Nurserymen propagate and trans plant beech trees in large numbers without experiencing any great diffi culty in masing them grow. The transplanting, however, is usually done while tho trees aro small, or from fivo to eight feet high, for larger specimens are rather difficult to handle, owing to their widespreading roots. Wo certainly do not know of any good reason for tho almost general neglect of tho American beech, for it is surely one of our most beautiful and graceful trees, and so hardy that it thrives even far beyond the limits oi our territory to the northward. Small treos found in open woods and fields may be transplanted by giving a littlo care to the preservation cf tho roots, and then severely pruning tho branches before or nu soon as planted. The trees selected for street, roadsides and parks aro mainly the choico of nurserymen who have a stock of the quick-growing and cheapest kinds. If the beech, chestnut, walnut and hick ory were planted in the streets and parks of our cities their nuts, when ripe and .'ailing, would be a great temptation to tbo small boy aud his sister, aud this would never do in this age of moral culture in cities. We advflv you to plant a row of beech trees, and then enjoy thinking what a good time the children of tho neigh borhood will huva a few years hence gathering tho delicious nuts,—Now York Sun.

Hawkes writes to the Aus tralasian as follows on that vexed question, the oolor of horses: "It is an old saying among horsey men, 'a good horse was never a bad oolor,' and yet popular prejudice as signs all sorts of good or evil traits of character to particular colors. I can quite understand this with those who do not know better; but that an ex pert, like an Indian buyer, should hold to the popular fallacy is almost beyond belief, seeing that we have had innumerable instances, both in the old oountry and here, to the con trary. It was recently that some four or five raoos were won in one day up on one of our local courses by chest nuts, and I think the fact was men tioned by one of your contributors, and they are equally good either in saddle or harness. Yet there are numbers who will condemn a chest nut at once for his color only, be ho ever so perfect in every other respect. The objection to a gray one onn un derstand from a groom's point of view, seeing that they are so difficult to keep free from strains as age whitens their coats, but for no lack of good constitution or disposition. "Some will tell you that a roan is the hardiest of all horses, and yet I venture to assert that a greater por tion of aged roans does not exist. Others credit black horses with being allied to Dragonfels himself for tem per and untrustworthiness. The only objection to him is that he is very rusty in his winter garb. " 'White logs are always a sign of weakness,' you are told by many. But I think throe to one would bo fair bet ting against tho one white leg out of a set of four, tho others being black. What about Odd Stockings and All Fours? Surely if white legs were a sign of woakness, such horses should break down at a very early stage of their career. Most judges prefer bays with black points, and it would bo diffioult to beat them for general ap pearance the year through, but I for one should certainly deny to thom a monopoly of sound constitutions, tractability, intelligence, and alLother virtues. lam quite with Mr. Basil Gray in his general remarks, but oven he errs the other way, as ho crodits white legs with being indicative of some peculiar virtue—or, as ho says, 'they always denote quality.' This I very much doubt. That skillful break ing and future wise education has most to do with the character and useful ness of a horse, as well as a man, irre spective of his color, can, I think, ho accepted as a settled fact. Renfrew was a splendid tempered horso until toased to such an extent that ho be came a man-cater. Many a two-leggod brother has had his character spoiled by those who should have helped to mako him better. That horses, like men, havo their temporaments goes without saying. That an eye for the beautiful leads fanciers to reject pie bald, skewbald, and horsos with wall eyes and big blazes for hacks or car riage purposes is not to be wondored at. But that any should condemn many of our really beautiful chestnuts is an enigma. "The objection purely to oolor is, I think, much akin to tho action of ono who crosses himself when passing in the j street a person with oblique vision."—Bell's London Messengor. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Stallions are cheap. Developed speed is in demand. Brood mares are selling for a song. A sandy soil is the best location for a poultry yard. A few carrots or apples are excel lent for horses. Muddy barnyards are largely re sponsible for scratches. Why not cover the bits with smooth leather for winter use? Make the stable comfortablo if you would keep down expenses. If a sheep is kept dry it will stand cold mach better than heat. There is a prolltablo market for haudsoiue, useful, half-bred hackucys. If orchards ara to be made profit able, they must receive as good care as crops.

Ia ft paper recently read before an English soientifio association, an in teresting acoount was given of the management of communities of bees and ants. The functions and duties of individuals, the guardianship of community welfare, the facilities for increase and reconstruction, and tbe methods of government were com mented on. In colonies of white ants, it was stated that the governing forces had the power to produce at will various kinds of individuals. Certain communities have what appeared to be assistant queens and kings, evident ly provided in case of accident to or the death of tho existing queen. There wore colonics in whioh soldier ants abounded; others where there were none at all, but where thoy were produced on short notico in times when there was likely to be need of them. Some sorts of ants feed upoD their dead rotations, and multitudes have been destroyed by those who went outside to got food. They returned to their homes, died, and were de voured by their fellows, they in turn dying in large numbers. Entire tribes were swept off in this way. The study of bees is oven more interesting. There are sometimes hundreds of thou sands of worker-bees with ouo queen. It is quite the rule that only the workers and the qneen survivo the winter. The drone is tho male bee, and when his services are not required ho is killed and thrown from the hive. The queen lays her eggs in cells built for her by the workerp, who are sex less bees. In large cells the eggs hatch into drones; in tho small ones into workers. The queen is fed, the young bees cared lor and the house work of the establishment is done by bees too young for flight or so old that their wings will not bear them on their honey-gathering flights. The queen rarely allows a rival, and if a new queen is hatched, a swarm almost immediately goes out from the parent hive, or else the original queen or the new one must perish. There have been instances ]whero two queens dwelt peacefully in one hive, but arrange ments are so raro that they may be looked upon as phenomenal.—New York Ledger. Ho Leaped for Life. Governor James H. Bndd, of Cali fornia, recently told the following story of an escape from tho bite of a rattlesnake which he once had: "I was up in Calaveras County fishing along the Stanislaus. I had been told of an almost inaccessible pool up tho river ut the base of the perpendicular cliffs, and fairly alive with trout. I found the place, and also found that there wan only one way to got a hook in the pool. I had to climb on my hands and knees up a steep path to a sort of shelf on tho cliff. On tho other side of the shelf was a sheor drop of forty feet down to the pool. Just as I dragged myself upon the top of tho ledgo tho whirr of a rattlesnake startled mo. Naturally I jumped to my feet, exhaustod as I was, but dropped my flshin? rod. "Tho coiled rattler was within two feet of me and preparing to strike. Either I had to get down on my hands and knees again or jump forty feot in to tho pool. As I siiw tho diamond head of tho snako draw back to strike I decided and jumpod. Just as I sprung tho rattler struok. I had a pair of moccasins on my feet and the fangs of tbe snake fustenod in tho ono nearest him. As I went down I remember see ing tho snake flying over the side of the pool. lis langs had caught and I had carried it with me. "Just what happened in the second or two after I struok tho water in my dive of forty feet 1 don't know. For tunately tho pool was fairly deep. As 1 dragged myself upon the rooks at the edge, I realized with a thankfulness I never knew before that I was not only alive, but had escaped tho snake and broken bones. I was badly bruised, but not seriously hurt. What became of tho enoko I don't know."—Dotroit Free PresE. AN ALPENA MIRACLE. MRB. JAH. M.

Unless there were more than one "belled buzzard," however, this much-wondered-at ouriosity is no longer in evidenoe. While iZ J. Dear, of Rankin County,was out hunting his attention was attracted by the tinkling of a small bell, the sound of whioh" seemed to come from nowhere in par ticular. For some time he searched for tho source of the ringing, and was finally rewarded by discovering a bnzzard flying over him with a bell suspended from its neck. He shot the bird, and tpund the bell fastened on with a small leather strap, upon which was cut the name "Parks," presuma bly tho surname of individual who fastened it on the bird. It is to be regretted that Mr. "Parks" did not also engrave his postoißce address on the collar.

A protest against the denudation of forests in order to secure material for railroad ties is made in a report issued by the Agricultural Department on the use of metal railroad ties and pre servative processes and metal tie plates of wooden ties. It shows that about twenty per cent, of the railroad mile ago of tho world, outside the United States and Canada, is laid on metal. Although progressin this direction in our country has been slow, the report says by the waning of forest supplies, and as tho railroad companies begin more and more to asctime a perma nent and less speculative character, it can be a question of only a short time when this saving of forest supplies will be forced upon them, insuring greater efficiency and final economy. —Washington Star. THE ONWARD fIARCH iof Consumption is stopped short by Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. If you haven't waited beyond reason, there's complete re covery and cure. Although by many believed to be incur able, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that, in all its earlier stages, con sumption is a curable disease. Not every case, but a large pet • cent age of cases, and we believe, fully 98 - - per cent* arc cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (including tubercu lar matter), great loss of flesh aud extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by "Golden Med ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and 112. tal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis representing thyiu, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the liypoplios pliites had also been faithfully tried in vain. The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 160 pages which will be mailed to you, on re ceipt of address and six cents tu stamps.

It is'xonceded that the Royal Baking Powdef fs' the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet est, most delicious food. The strongest bakingr pow der makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome food. Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble ? Avoid all baking powders sold with P gift or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome. Certain protection from alum baking powders can be had by declining to accept any substitute for the Royal, which is absolutely pure, Treatment lor Sprained Ankles. In these days of bicycling, skatinc, tobogganing and other out-of-door amusements incident to the seasons, accidents of various kinds arc daily occurring, not usually serious, but of ten painful when seemingly slight. From time to time one hears of different means of caring for sprained ankles, turned ankles, twisted wrists, etc., but the wny now in vogue seems to give better results than any in the past. It is generally an hour after the ac cident that you are called into see the case. The patient is suffering very severely, and wanting very much to know if "anything is broke." Af ter examining for fractures, tho Southern Medical Journal recom mends the parts to be bathed in ex tremely hot- water, every hour or two, for a period of fifteen minutes at a time. Have tho water just as hot as the patient can boar it, and apply with a spongo or cloth, rather than al low the ankle to lie i the water. Then dry and let the part rest quietly, wrapped in flannels, when an applica tion of hamamelis, or veratrum nnd hamamelis, may be made. Before retiring, apply a flannel bandage tightly around the swollen part, only being careful that tho cir culation is not aim ''off. It is surprising how the hot applica tions relieve the pain and produce ab sorption, and how the bandage, by pressure, prevents swelling and in flammation. —Scientific American.

Tho Director of tho Mint at Wash ington is having a terrible time trying to reduce the names of foreign exhib itors at tho Exposition to tho dimen sions of tho medals granted by the Bureau of Awards. There is a littlo tablet on the medals which will con tain at the utmost only thirty-two let ters, and some of tho foreign names contain 150 or 200 letters, which ho does not know how to abbreviate. There is a Russian exhibitor, for ex ample, whoso four names contained more than 100 letters and only one of them can be placed upou the medal. It is a very embarrassing and ticklish duty to make a selection, particularly when one is not familiar with the Rus sian language. The Germans, the the Hungarians and the Bohemians are quite as bad, and as the list reads now less than half the foreign namos cau be properly iu , scribed. The Director of tho Mint I has, therefore, decided to ask the as sistance of tho members of the diplo matic corps in Washington, and Sec rotary Carlisle will address a letter to the Secretary of State requesting him to invito the Ambaeta '.ors and Minis ters from the European countries to call at the Mint Bureau and edit tho ! names of their constituents. —Chicago Record. | It is believed by microscopists that ; the highest powers of their instru ments liavo not yet revealed the most minute forms of animal life. 3MK H AS UMNO A bllndntaa com## la n.t now and |h«n.
