To hear of Buffering from bent in the Aroiio regions sound* in credible to those who hare never been there. Lieutenant Qiider relates the experience of his party from this cause while one summer in King Williams's Land, and declares that probably nowhere on earth is the traveler moro annoyed by scute sunburn than in the frigid zone. The heat of ordinary exercise compels him to throw back the hood of his fnr coat, and by thus exposing the head not only his entire face becomes blis tered but—especially if be is fashion able enough to wear his hair thin on the top of his head—his entire eoalp is affected about as severely as if a bucket of scalding water had been poured upon him. At a later period Lieutenant Sohwatka's eutiro party, while upon a sledge journey from Marble Island to Cam]) Daly, were so severely burned that not only their faces but their en tire heads were swollen to nearly twice their size. And a fine-looking party they were. Some had faces so swollen that their eyes were complete ly closed on awakening from sleep. When one was fortunate enough to be able to see the others ho could not re frain from laughing. All dignity was lost. Even the august commander of the party was a laughing-stock, and, though he knew why they laughed at each other, ho could not understand why he should excite such mirth. I'retty soon he saw his face in a mir ror, and found that when he tried to smile his lips were so thoroughly swollen that the effect was anything but happy. The contortion expressed sentiment, but hardly that of pleasure. He could readily have been taken for a grimacing idiot, or a malicious lun atic, according to tho preference of the beholder.—Cassell's Magazine. First American University. The University of Virginia did in ils enrly days a great and needful work for the whole United States. For many years there was nowhere on this continent another place where it was tho aim, in the words of the foun der of this school, "to teach eyery science in its highest degree." The honor system, which was a natural outcome of the plans of government and instruction proposed by Thomas Jefferson, and which was slowly and painfully developed at the university into its present torm by a faculty of rare wisdom in dealing with young men, produced results which ore ovcu now incredible to Northern educa tors. Nor is the importance of this Echool simply of the past. She is at this day a center and leader of Southern edu cational work. If her activities were lessened or crippled, the cause of Southern scholarship would suffer im measurable damage, aud those who care for the higher elements of social and moral life in that great eection of the country believe that it would be un wise to let that work cease. If, for no other reason, many friends of the University of Virginia say, its build ings ought to be restored and the in stitution fostered, because it is the only important material monument to the fame of the great American states man, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson gave to tho university some of the best thought of his life and the affection of his declining yrarF, and he was active in its service opto his last hour.—New York Times. Fresh Water From the Paclltc Ocean -1 On calm day; the crew of tho light ship anchored three miles off the mouth of the Columbia River, Ore i gon, are able at ebb tide to lower a ! bucket over the side and bring up ' water fresh enough for drinking pur poses. This fresh water spreads out . over the surface of the ocean in the | shape of a fan, the apex being the | mouth ol the Columbia. It is only about two feet in depth, and 'if the bucket is allowed to biuk below that depth the water with which it is filled is strong ocean briue. There are not many rivers in the world with strength sufficient to send their waters so far out to sea, the principal exception be ing the Amazon, which freshens the oceau for twenty raiies off' its mouth, ships haviug tilled their casks with fresh wuter from the Amazon when out of sight of land.—New York Tribune.

The beet time to sell butter ia when it is first mn Je. The longer it is kept the larger its deterioration both in quality and quantity. It may sur prise some persons to know that but ter loses in weight, and if much ex posed to the air this loss is a material one when the price is high. There is some water in all butter and as tho air evaporates its place is filled by air. This introduces germs into the butter and injures its keeping qualities.— Boston Cultivator. SALT AS A PRESERVATIVE. Many people imagine that the only way to keep butter any length of time is to salt it. This is a mistake. Salt is undoubtedly a preservative, but not to the extent generally believed. The keeping qualities of butter depend chiefly upon the mode of manufacture, the salt being added to bring out the flavor the butter already possesses. So well is this fact, recognized that the doiry associations abroad are including in their prize-lists a c'ass for the best keeping butter, the distinction being made that while two supplies are often equally good when fresh, yet one will be way off flavor if consumod long after making.—New York World. APRLE POMACE. . Apple pomace is a useful feed, pro vided it comes from modern presses where straw is not used, so that it can be packed tightly in silos or pits and thus be preserved without waste. It iu qnito acid, and therefore not rel ished at first. At the Illinois Station pigs ate very little of it for that rea son. If allowed to heat] up to ninety degrees before tho silo is covered and weighted, this acidity seems to be ar rested. Milch cows become very fond of such eilage; at the Vermont Station, the cows have five pounds of it night and morning, or ten pounds a day, and prefer it to dry fodder; flow of milk iB not decreased, and the station declares that "probably the full feed ing value indicated by chemical an alysis is obtained." Atthia rate a oow would eat about a ton of pomaco dur ing the winter season, and dairymen "should put up as many tons of pom aco astbey have'eows." Tho tests at tho Vermont Station wero repeated and indicated that for cows "corn silage and apple pomace havo about the same feeding value pound for pound." Tho actual food in apple pomace de pends upon the amount of dry matter it contains, varying from twelva to twenty-six per cent., and averaging seventeen per cent.---American Agri culturist. TTIE COMBING WOOL MEIIIXO. The so-called Bambouillet sheep is a large-bodied, long-wool sheep, for a merino, that was originally brought here from France, where at the vil lage of Rambouillet the French Gov ernment established a tlock of Spanish merinos more than a hundred years ngo. Sinco that time tho sheep has been quite changed in character, and instead of having the short wool of tho original sheep, it has wool from three to four inches long, and has increased in size of body more than double. It is an instance of the oflect of reeding upon an animal, by which ample food of the best kind and breeding have thus altered an ancient race of sheep. Those sheep were brought into the United States in 1842 by a Mr. Col lins, of Connecticut, and gradually be came popular and spread into the State of New York, where they were carefully bred forsomo years, and are now kept in almost every Stato iu tho Union. This large-bodied sheep is excellent for mutton; the caroass reaches a size of 300 pounds for the males, and 200 pounds for the ewes. The fleece weighs frequently twenty four pounds or more, and has much less yolk and grease than tho small merino. The body is also smoother and less wrinkled. There are now many breeders of these sheep all over tho States, and they aro gradually be coming moro and more popular as they become kuoivn. The wool is fine and long enough to be combed, when it is woven into a class of goods knowu as delaines. These are printed as calicos aro and aro largely used.—Now York Times. FAMILY HORSE*. The price ol' horses has of late been ■o reduced that farmers aro discour aged in horse raising. The low price now prevailing is due to a want of dei uand, on account of the electrio cir ' system which has been to generally Hstablished thrjughout tlu cities and some parts of the country for rapid j transportation. This is, no doubt, in some part the cause of tho weak dt mand fur hor-.es iu tho markets. There is, however, another c.v.i-e which will bu found iu over production. A few years ago the burse craze, as it may bo called, prevailed among fanners, slid there was scarealy any one who was not breediug eith> r tlrst-c!a<* roadsters or blooded drivers. For these for a few jrt-at", tir-it class prices were obtained, and the demand which wm at the time a fictitious out-, produced tiy a sort u( boom in horM - Hesti, product t au on r-tupply, an I now there are too many borso* for tho market, whi.'li has for the tiin > lueu .notewhat diimimbe.l lit t!>e eWetrio liues.

Qive us good family horses and the demand will be sufficient to pay the producer agood profit.—Atlanta Jour nal. FARM OWNERSHIP. - It does not require the compilation of figures to show that there is a change gradually working itself through the ownership of tarm lands. It is a fact open to general observa tion tbat the farms of the country are gradually dropping into the hands of tenants, and in our opinion it is that much worse for the country. No one will dispute that the farmer has many advantages in working land owned by himself that can nover accrue to him while the land is owned by another. One of the leading causes to bo as signed for this state of things is the fact of a desire to overreach one's self in the possession of lands. To make use of a significant Western expres sion, it comes of biting off more than one can "chaw." Wo have long advo cated as tho best policy for farmers to pursue in this matter that of eutting down their possessions in lands rather than that of extending thaai. To il lustrate : Any farmer in Eastern Ne braska ought to be able to work to the very best advantage on 100 acres. We know of a great many who do good work and never feel cramped for room with this acreage at their com mand. They wonld prefer to sell than buy. When the farmer makes up his mind to this order of thinsrs it will be some timo before the Sheriff closes him out. In tho courso of tho next ten jears we look for a stronger pres sure than ever before to be brought to bear upon this matter of reducing tho size of tho farm. A new style of farming is gradually to come into voguo that will necessitate it. Tho extension of irrigation systems and tho growth and expansion of the sub soiling idea are destined to lead in the direction of intensive farming in tho West. We are aware that it used to be fashionable to spread one's self over a large area in his farming opera tions with a view of reducing the cost of production of crops. This day has passed. Things have changed, and if the farmer of to-day expects to con tinuo to own his own land be must give more attention to each individual aero and see that it doe 3 its share.— Nebraska Farmer.

The farmer that burns much gun powder will sooa fiad a hole in his pocketbook.

This'obtain? more favor as a quickener of lagging appetites than anything else. Tii3 boneless anchovies are preferably used for this purpose. The.y come in •imall cans, are denuded of head, tad and bones, and are covered with an oil like sardines. Squares of brsa'A with out crust should be toasted to a nice even brown. Two anchovies are then placed thereon, in opposite direction?, in order to produoo an equality o: arrangement. Over the whole are then sprinkled the yolks of hard boiled eggs, crumbled up fine, tho whites being chopped into cubes and disposed over the top. A dusting white pepper and a very little fait completes this remarkably delicious appetizer. They arc frequently more relished than the Blue Points which follow so speedily in their wake. Pol supper and teas broiled sardines on toast aro frequently served and are a most appetizing preliminary.—St, Louis Star-Savings. CLEANING CARPET?. A cleon barrel which will hold twelve gallons is required. Put Into the barrel three gallons of luke warm water (solt water is best) then add ha!' a pint of ammonia. Take an iron ket tle, and putin three pints of water and six ounces of soap bark, which you will find at a druggistb's; boil twenty minutes; then strain into the barrel. Shavo very thin tivo bars of good soap, and putin a boiler with one gallon of water, and boil uutil soap is all dissolved, then add ono pound of pulverized borax and boil ten minutes, stirring all the time, thou pour it into the boiler, and add eight gallons of soft water, stir well and let btand until cool, and it is then ready for use. Brussels carpets can bo cleaned nicely with this soap, also in grain carpets which are soiled, if they havo no dust under them. Take two pails of water; with a brush put on a llttlo of this soap, and scrub with warm water, one breadth, not over one yard in length at ono time, then, with an other brush and tho clean water, scru'i it over to rinso it, then proceed with tho rest until you have cleanst-d tho whole. It should be done on a sunny day, unless you have heat iu tho room. Ati excellent scheme for cleaning in grain carpets and art squares is to shake the carpets free from dust, then spread them on the bnro floor, make a good suds with this soap, and with a stiff brush scrub the carpet, one breadth at a time, after you have cloaned a'place ; have a pail of clean water and scrub it well to get the suds out. This takes out grease and dirt. It is equally good for cleaning chil dren's and men's clothing. Lay the garment on a clean board and scrub with a small brush, which you ran purchase for a dime, then rinse.—At lanta Constitution. RECITES.

Speaking of the wonderful powers of nature, a well-known nrchitect says that the frost is one of the most pow erful forces in the whole category. Electricity has great and peculiar power, gravity is in immense evidence, the wind and the sun and the rain and the clouds have their respective forces to marshal or command, but he had found that the frost, when onco it got below a building, was more pow erful than could be well estimated. A whole building, in ono case, a large and substantial brick structure, was raised several inches by the powerful expanding force of the confined frost.

Some passengers over one of tho Berlin Canal bridges the other ilay noticed the sudden appearance of two black points in the sky at a consider able) distance away, which developed into two ducks. Behind them, accord ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, at a lower level, flew nnother bird, which suddenly rose into the air above tlio ducks, and then shot down on them like an arrow. One ol the ducks flew sideways toward tho Thiergarten ; tho other, closely pursued by its enemy, flew slanting into the canal, and, reaching the water exactly beaind tho bridge, dived, while tha hawk, in hits blind haste, struck against tho hea l of a statue of Hercules and fell, onco more flapping its great wings*, dead on the pavement of the bridge. Tho bird was a splendid specimen, tho wings having an expansion of more than three feet. A reporter called, on Wednesday evening, May 8. 1895, at tho resi dence of Mr. William McMahon, No. IGSB Pearl street, Brooklyn village (Cleveland), 0., to learn, if possible, the cause ol the noticeable im provement in his physical condition over that of a year ago, when he was a sufferer from indigestion and various ortfanb disorders. "You see," began Mr. McMahon, "to start with, my work —th'it of setting type at the case—allows me little chance for bodily exercise, and is alto gether too confining for anybody wh > is in the least subject to indiges tion or dyspepsia. Perhaps notmoro sothan many another mechanic or artisan who is constantly indoors an.l under severe mental strain, while the physical development is sadly iu need of sornothing to keep it in trim. Well, that has been my com plaint for years, and some months ago I became very bilious, and con stipation made lite miserable for me at times. Then it took a seat in my LIVEK, which became no'.iceably inactive, and I became alarmed about it. The ilrst thing I turned my attention to was to secure 'liver regulator,' which, however, failed to regulate; next I sought relief in 'liver pills,' which so pained ; and griped me that the cure was, I thought, worse than the disease. The next thing I did was to throw away the whole 'shooting match.' and resolve to take no more propri etory medicines. However, on hearing my tale or woe, one day, at the office, a fellow-workman offered me a smallTabule—ilipans. he called it—which, he said, he would guarantee to act on the liver. I took It under protest, expecting to lie doubled up in about ilfteen min utes with the 'gripes.' But I was agreeably surprised in its action. It was very gentle, and I resolved to try a box. Since then I have gradu ally noted an entire change In tho workiug of my system, and think that Ripans Tabules are the b33t remedy for liver and stomach troubles this side of anywhere. They are really a substitute for physical exercise. Have one beforo you go?" And Mr. McMtthon pro duced his box of "stand-bys ' from his inside pocket as the reporter took bis leave.
