Arctic Sunburn.
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

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,

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.

romembering that it is very explosive
if exposed to fire or lamp light. Put
one glove on, dip a pieoe of clean

A DINXER APPETIZER.
The dinner appetizer par excellence,
is made of anchovies. 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

Wonder.'nl Power of Frost.
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.
Foundation walls supposed to be
strong enough to last a century, and
certainly as strong as all ordinary de
mands would call for, hare been
known to be thrown far out of plumb
because they were too near the frost
of the ground, which, in its invisible
and silent might, would push the mas
sive masonry out of place in order to
give Jack Frost a little more elbow ,
room.—Minneapolis Journal.

Herculrs ninl tlie Hawk.
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.
