A Dumb Weather Prophet. J. Eliot, Meteorological Reporter to the Government of India, has re cently discovered that as a weather prophet a railway tunnel may serve a useful purpose. He informs us that Mr. Egcrton, the excutive engineer of the Musbkaf-Colan Railway, has called his attention to "an interesting feat ure" of the Khojak tunnel. It appears that the current in this tunnel always eels in ono direction during fine weather over the Baluchistan plateau, and in the opposite direction during bad weather, and that these currents always precede l>y somo hours the line or troubled weather in the open. Thus it has for some time been the practice to telegraph every change in the cur rents to Qnetta for the information of the railwoy authorities, und these messages havo proved extremely use ful. Hearing of this, Mr. Eliot ar ranged with Mr. Egcrton for the de spatch of similar telegrams to him, and he has found that they frequently give valuable indications, and hence proposes to continue them.—lndian Engineering.

It is not generally known that the present Shah of Persia is not only a prose writer of considerable merit, but has also some pretensions to the char acter of a poet. Like the German King, who, according to Oarlyle, de clared himself to be above grammar, so does the Persian monaroh consider himself above criticism; yet, like all poets, he is glad to lend an ear to it when it is favorable. Ono day, however, having comple ted a poem which particularly delighted him, he deigned to read it to one of the most prominent men of letters at tached to his household. "What do you think of it?" he asked, after read ing his verses aloud. "I do not alto gether like the poem," was the oandid reply. "What an ass you are to say so!" replied the offended sovereign, and there was certainly much wisdom in tho royal words, for tho misguided critio was forthwith ordered to the stables to be flogged. A few days later the Shah, having writton another poem once more de sired to hear the opinion of the loarned scribe whom ho had consulted before.

The "ghost train" no longer runs over tho Now York, New Haven and Hartford road between Boston and this city. It was one of tho fastest and most completely equipped of the trains in tho express service of the road. It was not known as the "ghost train" by tho railroad authorities, and it is said that this uncanny name, be stowed upon it by passengers and resi dents along the line, bad something to do with its discontinuance. Tho exterior of all the cars which composed the train, from the express car to the ordinary day coach, were pointed a solid dead white. Every night a train of those white oars pulled into tho Grand Central Station at nine o'clock and at tho same hour a similar train reached tho Boston torminus. To the railway authorities this service was known as the "Now England Ex press," but the long unbroken Btring of white cars dashing through the darkness, appearing almost like a spectre, becamo known all along the lino as tho "ghost train." Nothing was thought of this appel lation at first, though tho management is said to have not particularly relished it. Sensitive persons, however, ob jected to riding upon tho train, and it was abandoned. The cars were sent to the shops and painted a different color and aro still in use on the road. The reason for the change, according to tho railroad officials, is that it was almost impossible to keep tho white cars clean.—New York Herald. A ltog Tli.it Smokes.

From the Newt, Batavia, AT. T. Ellas Hoffman, a well-known market gar dener of Daws, Ganesee County, N. Y., has perhaps suffered as much, if not more, than any other man In Oanesee County. A few years ago Mr. Hoffman was employed at the gun factory in Batavia and was obliged to give up his position thero on aceount of ill health and give his attention to market gar dening, in whioh business he is now en gaged. A nowspaper reporter happened to run aoross Mr. Hoffman a day or two ago. and from him learnel of his suffering and from what source he had boon benefited. Mr. Hoffman greeted tha reporter with a pleasant manner, and was willing to tell ot his exporienco from the time he commenced to bo troubled with kidney disease up to the present time, when ho is about ouraJ. Doing questioned upon the state of his health, Mr Huffman replied that be was very well, con sidering his recant near approach to death. "Can you toll me how you received so in ioh benefit?" the reporter asked. "Well.'' said Mr. Hoffman, "it was several years ago that I commenced to feel n kidney trouble coming on and I was running down hill every day, in faot so fast that in a very short time I was unable to continue my work at tho gun works, and was obliged to settle down on my little farm of ten acres and do a day's work now and then when I felt able. I suffered everything and tried about all kinds of medicine, but without nny relief, and I about gave up trying to be oured. It was several weeks ago when a neighbor of mlno came along and askod me if I had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Tills, and I replied that I had not. He suggested that I try a box of t lie pills and thought that they would help my caso. I had already heard the pills highly spoken of, and tho first time I went to Batavia I purchased a box and commenced taking the pills according to directions. I had not taken the first box before I could sou that the pills wero doing their work, and I continued to take them and grow better gradually until I was ab'o to do a dny's work and had thought of taking up my old job at the gun works; in fact tho pills worked like a charm and I would not bo without them." Mrs. Hoffman, who presents a strong and healthy look, spoko in tho highest praise of the Dr. Williams' Pills, nnd eaid that slio considered her husband's life saved by the little pills, that they had put her husband in a position to do work aud support himself aud family without trouble. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a con donsed form, all tho elements necossary to givo new life aud richness to the blood and restore shattered norves.

Quito recently a lady performer who had made some alterations in bet dress had a narrow escape. The tigor with whom she usually appeared turned sulky from tho start, and at last ab solutely refused to do ono of the tricks. "Its mistress urged and threatonod to no purpose, and finally attempted to use the whip. The moment sho did so tbo infuriated animal flew at her, and if it had not been for a boarhound, whioh was performing with them, she would probably have lost her life. "The bravo dog snapped at tho tiger and distracted his attention un til his mistrees had succeded in mak ing her escape. Unfortunately, he was severely injured by the tiger's claws. 'The reason for this outburst was that tho tiger evidently did not reoog nizo his raistres3 in her ohango of cos tame. As a rule, very few alterations aro made. The same dog always ap pears in the samo act, and so on, the idea of acquaintanceship and familiar ity being thus maintaiuod. Why, oven it a hat or a wrap happens to lie within reach outside tho arena the animal is sure to Beo it at onco, and, if it can get at it, will promptly tear it to pieces. "About a year ago a tion tamer wore a full dress suit instead of his usual military costume at one of tho performances. As soon as the lion saw the chango of clothing he made direct for him. Now, lions do not, like tigers, tiy to kill instantly, but strike out with their paws to knook their enemy down. In this caso the lion's claws caught tho trainer's face, inflicting severe injuries. But ho is still in the business, thoagh the scars of tho struggle aro very plainly visi ble."—New York Moroury. The Adopted Hare. An interesting experiment in tho roaring of animals is rocorded by a German scientist. A country geutlo rnan having captured a young hare a few days ago, couceived tho idea of giving it as foster mother a cat whioh had just had a litter of kittens. The cat showed no objection to this ourions addition to her family, aud the herb ivorous nursling seemed to tako very well to tho rcgimo to which it was so unexpectedly subjected. The hnro throve and grew, and the cat soon thonght it time to licgiu tho education of her foster child. For the catching of mice, however, the hare sliowod not the slightest disposi tion, aud at each fault committed the udoptivo mother administered vigor ous correction with her paws. This produced but little improvement, nnd the relations between the two animals were becoming eotuowhat strained, whon oue duy they wero plaoed to ({ether ou the lawn iu front of the house.

While it is generally an advantage to have the turkeys hatehed as early as it can be done safely, there is no need to feel discouraged about those that eome later in the season. Last year we had a brood hatched as late as the middle of August by a hen which stole her nest and then looked after her brood to snch good purpose that three months later they came up to the barn with the rest of the flock in better condition than some hatched a month earlier and on whose bringing up wo had expended our best care. We did not market these late birds until after the Christmas holidays, but they brought a better price then than the early hatched birds sold for at Thanksgiving, when the market was swamped by an enormous supply of birds, fit and unfit, whioh many tur key raisers have'mistakenly rushed for ward.—New York World. GBUBS IN A cow's BACK. These largo white grubs era the larvse of the cattle bot fly, known as hypoderma bovis, a large fly that buzzes around cattle in the months of July and August, laying its eggs on the hair as does the horse bot fly. The cattle, licking themselves, take off the eggs, which aro swallowed, and turning to small grabs in the stomach they begin to bore their way through the stomach into the muscles of the back, where they lie, breathing through a small "hole made in the skin, and living on the pus secreted in consequence of tho irritation caused by them. They will soon forco their way out of their burrows in tho cows, and fall to tho ground, into which they bore their way and change to a pupa or chrysalis, changingto the fly in the late summer. To kill them at this time of the year, squeeze them out of the hole and crush them. If this is not dono easily, enlargo the whole somewhat by cutting with a sharp knife. If this were done by all concerned, thero would be an end of this pest, which it is Eaid, damages the hides of cattle to the extent of $20,000,000 yearly in the wholo of North America New York Times. INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE ON FOLIA".". Professor Strasburger is one of those eminent European botmists to whom students in plant life have looked up to as among their greatest teachers, and it is therefore with eome surprise that Americans read a recent paper of his in connection with the in fluence of climate on tho structure of leaves. He takes for an illustration the Europeau beech. He says that when the beech produces its leaves iu the deep shade cf the forest, they are larger and fiuer than tho leaves of the same tree exposed to full suulight, and from this he deduces a general j>riuei ple that abundance of sunlight to a dry atmosphere is the reason why leaves are thick and small. Yet it hus been for over a quarter of a cen tury placed 011 record aud admitted as an undeniable fact that, iu tho caso of allied species of European and Ameri can trees, tho leaves of the American are larger and thinner thau tho leaves of the European. The American lin den has larger and thinner leaves thau the European linden. So has the American sweet chestnut, American oak, Americau buttonwood or syca more. aud, in fact, all American trees that have closo European allies. And ! yet no ono will contend for a moment ] that the English climate is dryer, or 1 that there is moro light or more long- | continued sunlight in England thau | America. It is unfortunite when I great authorities like Strasburger at-1 tempt to found great scieutitlc truths j on such slender materials.—Meehaa's j Monthly. MAFIA SCO AT, In the last issue of the Experiment Station Rcoord, Volume 7, No. 'J, some interesting data aro given con cerning maple sugar and sirup, which wero taken from the New Hampshire Experiment Station Bulletin No. 85. Messrs. A. H. Wood and P. W. Morse reported their conclusions based upon the aunlyscs of twenty-six samples of maple sirup and of nineteen samples maple sugar. Their conclusions are j given as follows: Experiments in letting sap stand for } several days before hoiliui?, titter tug j pap, aud npid and slow evaporation had no decisive effect on the compo- | •ition of the sirup.

Iu most places the feeding place is much less protected from the wind than is the sleeping pen. Objectionable trees are killed in the best way by stripping the bark trom them for a few feel from the ground just when the foliage is fully expaud ,-it in the spring.

With out doubt they exert great good in the beginning stages; they improve the appetite, pro mote digestion and tone up the nervous system.
