What Trained Sense* Can Do.
It is remarkable bow well a perfum
er learns to recognize a scent. Id
testing a swoot-smelling liquid, bo
wets the base of bis loft thamb with a.
little of it. Then bo rubs tlio placo
rapidly with his right band. The al
cohol in which tho essence is dissolved,
boing the more volatile, is at onee
evaporated, and the substance which
emits the odor remaining, he can
smell it in its purityj
Of course, it is an easy thing torso*
ognizo the principal odors that are in
use, but when several are mixed, as is
common, his task becomes more diffi
cult. Yet a skilled man cannot only
tell you wliat three or four perfumes
enter into the composition of the one
ho is testing, but also, roughly, tho
relative proportions of each.
It is easy to tell the relative amount
of woof and cotton in a piece of col
ored underwear when you know bow.
Men who havo made the subject a spe
cialty can do this by holding the
cloth in the light and looking along
it. The cotton and wool can be dis
tinguished by the difference in their
colors, which exists, although the
same dyo was used for both. The un
trained eyo could hardly detect tho
fact that the cloth had two shades,
but tho skill that comes from long
practice makes tjio thing simple.
There aro many men, too, who are
able to tell an English book from an
American book by tho smell. The
books printed in England in nearly
every case havo a pleasanter odor than
those made in America. The kind of
paste, ink, paper and binding used
has probably somothing to do with it.
There are ways of telling who tho
publishers of a given book are besides
looking at the title page. Somehow
every firm gives a certaiu characteris
tic look to every volume which it is
sues, and a skilled man, in nine cases
out of ten, merely by looking at the
bindiag and atone of the pages, can
tell from whose presses and bindery a
work comes. This, of course, applies
only to the larger firms and to books
printed comparatively recently.—

A Ring Fon iirt at Bull Run.
/ Although more than thirty years
have elapsed sinoe the first and second
battles of Manassas, interesting arti

er. Only a few days ago visitors
found shells containing powder, pieces
of canteens and wl'olo bayonets, A
young man, Laws iipenesr, living oc
the old Logan farm (Catharpin Post
offioe), picked up a ring in the famous
Deep Cut. Tho ring is of good gold,
with a bloodstone scroll intaglio. Tho
motto on it is, "Sio itur ad astra."
Around the eoroll is "V. M. L," and
at tho base a pen an.l sword crossed.
Inside is engraved "One of tho 29—0.

tho register of V, M. 1., and it
shows that O. C. Hendersod was Cap

Tho Deep Cut witnessed bloody con

August 30, L862 : "Before the rail
road cut tho fight was most obstinate.
I saw a Federal flag hold its position

TEXTURE OP BUTTER.
The'texture of butter depends partly
on the animal, partly on feed, and
portly upon the temperature of the
cream when churned. Cows that give
the richest milk make the most solid
butter. In such cows what should go
to make suet or beef fat is turned into
the milk glands. The same result
comes from feeding very rich food like
cotton-seed meal. A small quantity
of this mixed with wheat bran should
be fed to cows; it will make butter
much firmer during hot weather in
summer, but it will need in addition
that tho milk and cream bo kept in a
cool place.
TOO NARROW 11ARNS.
Most of the old-fathioned barns wore
built with a view to economy, and
were mado as narrow nnd cramped as
possible. The standard width seemed
to be enough for a wagon loaded with
grain in tho straw to be driven in and
for tho bam door to bo closed behind
it. The floor was also narrow, so that
tho toam had to be driven out at the
door opposite that they went in at. It
is rather curious that farmers tried to
economize so much in lumber when
tho woods were full of it, and larger
framed buildings might bo made with
scarcely any more expense. When far
mers began to build barns with base
ments, and having only ono entrance,
tho barn was necessarily made wider
and its floors broader, so that a loaded
wagou could bo driven in and tho team
bo driven out beside it. A roomy barn
floor .is very convenient for storing
many kinds of farm tools, but wagons
should always be stored in the base
ment where tho wheels will come in
contact with tho soil.—Bostou Culti

WATERING HORSES.
Prejudice dies hard, but tho hardest
of all to die in the minds of grooms is
that it is injurious to givo n horse a
drink of cold water when he is heated
from exercise. Years ago, whon I used
to train horses for racing in Indin, I
grappled with this prejudice, and clung
to it with such tenacity that I used
constantly to have my horses "off"
their feed after a strong gallop. One
day I returned to tho messhouso very
hot and very tired after a long run,
nnd suddenly thought fit to mentally
put myself in the place of a race horse.
''Shall I have," I risked myself, "a
better appetite for breakfast if I re
frain from driuking till I liavo cooled
off or if I havo a drink right off?"
Knowing that I could not eat heartily
unless I had, first of all, a drink, I
took it, and thereupon felt so fit to
eat, and went so strong over a course
of beefsteaks, ham nnd eggs, quail,
muffins, etc., that 1 resolved to try the
sume treatment ou my horses. My
lead was attained witn such success
that nowadays nil the trainers iu India
givo their race horses about half n
bucket of cold water to drink im
mediately after a gallop, and with the
best results as regards their appetite
nnd health. 1 havo not alone never
seen, but havo nevor even heard or
rend of, afny harm ton horse from
drinking cold water when ho was
heated. I have, however, seen hun
dreds of cases of colic occur in horses
from drinking water after being fed ou
occasions when they had, previous to
eating, been deprived of water for
some time. Were all grooms to fol
low my advice as to wateiing, I nm
afraid that ninny an honest and hard
working veterinary surgeon would find
his income from colic cases seriously
diminished.—London Livo Stock

TILE PROFITABLE FEEDING WEIdIIT.
A largo per cent, of farmers grnze
nnd feed hogs, and tho belief that
holds with many is that eomo future
month will bring better prioos, which
can at best bo culy a matter of guess
ing. Would it not be better to adopt
the rule of getting to market as quick
ly ns possible, tukiug tho prico at
which thevcon be sold where tho limit
of the most profitablo feeding weight
is reached, say 175 to 200 pounds?
This would cutoff unprofitable feeding,
or in other words, stop tho fcoding
when it takes too much food to make
a pound of gain, and yot iu a serios of
years givo the farmer as good average
prices as he will secure by trying to
feed to catch tho high prico all tho
time.
It is a very low prico that will not
give a good profit ou n pig that has
been mado to do his best up to 175
pounds, while a slight drop in prico
on a 300-pound hog will lose a man
"plenty of money."
Will not some farmer of an experi
mental turn test this matter of com
mon belief among farmers, that there
is more profit in one-half grain feed
ing on clover than there is in lull
grain ration in connection with clo
ver? Take two lots of hogs of equal
quality, weigh hogs and focd used,
give treatment indicated above. Don't
jump at conclusions by giving one lot
ono stylo of treatment ono year, and
another lot the next. Conduct both
experiments at tho same time.
For best summer growth there must
be an abnndanoe of shade, unlimited
quantities of pure water. To secure
this tho brook must havo a gravel
bottom. Fresh, quick growing grass ;
clover or other grasses should bo fur
nished. If these aro lacking, foods
must be supplied that aro chemically
ns near liko grass as possible. Tho
grain ration must not bo laoking ; it
takes too long "to get there" on grass
alone.—National Stookmau.
STORING CABBAGE.
Some weeks siueo I notiood**nn
article in tho Tribune, writes J. It.
Cordcll, of lientonvillo, Ark., asking
for a good plan for keeping cabbage
in largo quantities. Last winter I
visited au old friend in Missouri nnd
saw for tho first timo a plan that com
mended itself to my mind, and my
friend, who was then trying it'for the
second year, was highly ploased with
tho results. If I can explain it to tho
satisfaction of your correspondent, J
think he, and perhaps many other
readers of this department of the
Tribune, may find it equally satisfac
tory to them. Tho plan consists of a
succession of ranks, depending for
number and length upon the amount
of cabbage to bo stored. My friend
had about an acre of good cabbage
and had about three ranks eomo fifty
feet long. Tho whole stalk is pulled
up and all are ranked up to a height
of about two feet, reversing ends of
alternate stalks, which, of course, kept
the ranks level. A space is left be
tween the ranks, which exposes every
head of cabbage to view the moment
the covering is removed at the end.
Now for the covering. Forks wero
driven into the ground, say two feet
high, or just a little higher than the
ranks of cabbage, and stout enough to
bear up the covering, and so driven as
to tako a pole along both sides of each
rank, and on these are laid cross poles,
which hold the covering up. Straw
or spoiled hay was piled along tho
outside ranks and then over the poles,
and so rounded up liko a stack to turn
water, the ends being closed up in liko
manner, and the work was done. It
was the last of January, 1894, that I
was there, and they had been having
cold weather—twenty degrees below
zero. My friend had an order from
his merchant for a load of cabbages,
and ho asked mo togo with him and
see how they looked. A prettier pic
ture could not have been mado from
the same material than was presented.
Tho alleys being open, we had a clear
view; the frost shone along on tho
solid wall of heads, but not one was
injured. Of the thousands of heads
in those ranks, every one was ready
for market. When a load was taken
out, tho ond was closed up again ; tho
top covering remained intact.—New
York Tribune.
GREEN FOOD FOR FOWLS.
Green food is essential to tho well
being of fowls, innl every poultry
raiser should due provision for it.

make good progress and provide a sup
ply of green food late in tho fall and
early spring.—Now York World.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
TO CAM TOMATOES.
Tomatoes are among the most
healthful vegetables grown, and whilt
they can be bought ready canned at a
▼ery reasonable price it is raucb
cheaper and more satisfactory to can
them than to buy, if they keep nicely.
Many housekeepers fail of success
with tomatoes if they are canned in
anything else than tin, while oven
then some will spoil. This is expen
sive and there is always danger of the
aoid in the fruit acting on the tin and
forming a poisonous substance.
The following rule for canning to
matoes in glass jars has been used by
one housekeeper for over twenty
years and not a half dozen cans have
been spoiled in all that time. The
tomatoes are seasoned with salt and
popper ready for table, and put boil
ing hot into the jars, filling them well
up to tho neck of tho jar. Fresh,
sweet, melted lard is then ruu over
the tomatoes until the neck of the jar
is perfectly full, and the cover screwed
on as usual. When tho lard cools it
forms a thiok coating on tho top, most
effectually keeping out all air, and
the tomatoes when prepared for the
table are so fresh and sweet as scarce
ly to be told from thoso just picked
from the vines. The jars when cool
should be wrapped in paper to exclude
the light, and kept as any fruit would
be.—Farm, Field and Fireside.
COLD PUDDINGS.
Cold puddings aro much more dainty
and wholesome in the hot season than
when served warm with rich sauce,
are also more convenient to the house
keeper when made the day before they
are to be eaten, or in the cool of the
morning, preventing the necessity of
going over tho fire in tho heat of the
day.
Tho receipts hero given will bo
found economical as woll as easy to
prepare.

; To form some idea of the large new
of the earth, one may look upon the
landscape from the top of an ordinary
ohurch steeple, and then bear in'mind
that one must view 900,000 similar
landscapes to get an approximately
oorrect idea of the size of the earth,
nays London Public Opinion. Place
500 earths like oars side by side, yet
Saturn's outermost ring could easily
enclose them. Three hundred thou
sand earth globes could be stored in
side the sun, if hollow. If a human
eye were oapable oi looking upon a
fresh measure of world material 0400
square miles large, that eye would
need 55,000 years to overlook the sur
face of the sun. To reach the nearest
fixed star, one must travel 26,000,-
000,000 miles; and, if the velocity
were equal to that of a cannon ball, it
would require 5,000,000 years to
travel that distance. Besides single
stars, we know of no 1 system of stars
moving round one another. Still, we
are but a short way into space yet.
Outside of our limits of vision and
imagination there are no doubt btill
larger spaces. The Milky Way holds
at least 21,191,000 stars, and as each
is a sun, we presume it is encircled by
at least fifty planets. Counting up
these figures, we arrive at the magni
tude of 1,000,955,000 stars. A thou
sand million stars 1 Who can com
prehend it? Still, this is only a part
of the universe. The modern tele
scopes have discovered more and more
Milky Waye still further away. We
know of some 3000 nobulae which
represent Milky Ways like ours. Let
us count 2000 of them as being of the
size of our Milky Way ; then 2000 by
20,191,000 equals 40,382,000,000 suns,
or 2,019,100,000,000 heavenly bodies.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Early Use ol Uunpowdcr.
War destroys, and at the same time
is the incentivo for tho creation of
new things. War and iron are in
separably linked together. Tbe dis
covery of gunpowder caused a com
plete revolution iu tho manufacture
of iron. The mixing of sulphur, salt
petre and coal as a toy had been
known for a long time. Hence, to
speak of the discovery of gunpowder
in tho fourteenth century only refers
to the application of powder during
that century for the purposes of war.
To credit tho Monk Bertold Schwurz
(or Black) with the discovery of gun
powder is incorrect. However, his
investigations into tho nature of
powder and its constituents for use as
an applicable forco in guns produced
a radical change in the then customary
warfare, and from that standpoint
Bertold Schwarz deserves to be rec
ognized as the promoter of modern
warfaro. Many hundreds of years
before Schwarz tho Chinuso used gun
powder. Tho invention of field guns
is credited to tho Chinese Emperor
Vitey, or Wu-ti, who lived 140 years
B. C. During tho eleventh century
tho Tartars learned the uso of gun
powder from tho Chinese. The Arabs
acquired the knowledge of gunpowder
from the Tartars, and are said to have
used cannon at the siege of Lisbon, iu
1147. The Greek fire was invented in
GGB A. D., and bosides sotting tiro to
tho enemies' ships and cities, was used
to shoot leaden ball 3 out of metal can
non. Marcus Graccus, who lived A.
D. 1204 1201, describes gunpowder as
a mixture of two pounds of coal, one
pound of sulphur and six pounds of
saltpetre.—Tho Iron Age.
"Honeymoon."
The Neuo Blatt informs ns that the
term "honeymoon" was not suggestod
by the sweetness of that period of
bliss, but originated through a custom
of the Germans of old, which com
pelled the newly wedded to drink
nothing but mead made of honey
during the thirty days following the
marriage.

From lh>' Herald, Baltimore, Md.
Mr. Isaac Hamburger 1H a well-known
oigar manufacturer aud tobacco denier nt
1425 E. Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md. Ho
is a hale, robust man now, but a few months
ago he thought tie was about to become a
living skeleton if not a dead man. Ho now
weighs about 200 pounds and steps about his
factory us actively as do his •'stripper" boys.
His present condition is due to the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink l'ills, which he considers
the best medicine in the world for dyspep
sia, loss of appetite indigestion and insoni
nia. When a Herald reporter recentlycalled
on Mr. Hamburger he came jauntily in the
store from his factory and in speaking of
the pills, said: "Yes, I tuive used Dr. Will
iams' Pink l'ills and cau cheerfully recom
mend then). Some months since," ho con
tinued, "owing to confinement to business, I
had an attack of dyspepsia accompanied by
terrible and almost incessant heart burn and
torpid liver. 1 tried doctors and nmny rem
edies that friends advised mo to take, but
found no relief until I heard of and used Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. I secured live boxes
nnd begauto improve perceptibly after tak
ing a few doses, and when the llvo boxes
were gone I was completely cured. If you
had seen mo when I was sick and compared
my condition then with what it is now you
would join me in a song of praise of the mar
velous merits of Pink Pills. lam a living
monument to their efficacy in curing the
maladies from which I suffered. I weigh now
nearly 200 pounds, sleep well, cat heartily
aud digest my food without any inconveni
ence and sleep as well as 1 did when a boy
after u romp before bed time. I unhesitat
ingly and with confidence in their curative
and invigorating qualities recommend tlio
Pink Pills to all sufferers and should 1 be so
unfortunate as to bo sick again I shall get
another supply."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They aro also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities aud all
forms of weakness. They build up the blood
and restore the glow of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical,
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excesses of whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in looso
