The Knock-out Blow. The blow which knocked out Corbett was ft revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the Jaw, the temple or the jugular vein.

The effect of education and of con tact with a few of the better elements of our civilization were noticeable at Albany and Moose Factory. There was a certain degree of cleanliness in the prepargtion of food, the Indians were better dressed, and, although the fur trade Is a sort of slavery, a great er self-reliance was apparent. The crew that took the commission from In their vespers, and every eveuing recited a many, sang a nymn, and made a prayer. There was something primitive and touching In their devotion, and it marks an ad vance, but these Indians are capable of leaving a party of travelers sudden ly, returning to Moobo Factory in dudgeon If anything displeases them, and the leader of the prayers got much the better of one of the party in an affair of peltries. But any fore cast of Indian civilization which looks for final results In one generation or two is doomed to disappointment. Bcrlbner's Magazine. School for Russian Policemen.

When the house Is afire, It's like a body when disease begins to show, It's no time to talk, but time to act delay Is dangerous remove the cause of the trouble at once. "For a number of years," says a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet I was so fond of it I could not give It up. I paltered with my appetite, and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart, I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone my heart seemed so smothered and weak in Its action that I feared It . would stop beating. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I Blept but little and Suf fered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using the old kind of coffee and began to usa Fostum Food Coffee, and from the Terr first I began to improve. It worked a miracle I Now I can eat anything and digest It without trou ble. I sleep like a baby, and my beart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person, and It Is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as X kept drugging with coffee."

One of the greatest nuisances In farming is the way In which weeds are encouraged and protected In the cor ners of the fences and In the vlclnlty of fences, from which places their seed' Is scattered over the surrounding lands. The extent to which seeds are scatter ed from one field to another by high winds proves that one negligent farm er may annoy hundreds of others by falling to exterminate the foul herb age. Prevents Freezing. The water that flows through the underdralns Is warmer than the air all through the winter. In the very coldest weather a good outflow will not freeze at the mouth of a deep drain, nor usually for several feet below. When airholes are made down to the drain, at any place over a deep drain, the snow will be melted away and a perceptible warmth will be felt, espe cially before the soil has been deeply frozen. The warm air of summer penetrates more deeply a well drained soil and the heat thus accumulated is only gradually given off when severe freezing occurs on the surface. Selecting Pure Breeds. The selection of superior animals Is done more carefully at present than formerly. Color has largely been the guide in determining the merits as well as the price of some of the pure bred animals. Where the markings have much to do with the price to a fancier, the case Is somewhat different and it may be well enough to be gov erned, to a great extent, by those markings, or "points," laid down in Borne recognized "standard;" but when considering the selection of the best specimens for utilitarian purposes it is not the best policy to adhere too closely to any fashionable color or marking, for it docs not alter the eco nomicthe real value. No matter If a horse does have a ''blaze" face and three white feet." If he can trot low down in the "teens" and the would-be purchaser desires speed, a high price can always be secured for him. If a Jersey cow Is 'off color," and does not have the "black tongue and switch," provided she not only produces extra fine calves, but Is an exceptionally good and heavy butter producer, she will bring a good price,' If the owner can be induced to part with her, which is not often the case. To secure uniformity of breed characteristics It may be well enough to adopt characteristic marks and colors in certain breeds of live stock but, in some instances It has been carried to an extreme. What should be desired is an animal bred for "business" first and after that may fol low the "fancy points." The farmer, who is not always partial to "points," will be willing to pay a good price for an animal of any breed, If .he Is cer tain that It can accomplish more than that derived from ordinary stock. Philadelphia Record. The Real Value. The different parts of an animal are valuable in proportion to the choice cuts that can be secured. In a fat animal the position of the flesh on the carcass is a great consideration. The finest meat is claimed to be on the fore and middle ribs, and on the loins and rump. Consequently the steer that carries the largest quantity of beef on these parts Is tho most valuable. The other parts of various qualities, and used for soups and salting, do not bring the high price of the parts described. The point on top of the rump is the first part of a feeding steer that shows the fats, and the parts that are last In being covered with flesh are the top of the shoulder and the point of the t milder joints. When these points are felt to be well covered, then the other and better parts may be considered to be In perfection and a prime condition may be expected. But the general handling must estab lish the real condition, for there Is a wide difference between the apparent and real features of a steer. The flesh of a steer that appears very fat to the eye may feel loose and flabby, but a truly fattened animal always feels "hand fat." Such handlers never de ceive the butchers, while loose fatten lngs never produce the best quality of meat The farmer who becomes inter ester in producing choice cattle of the beef breeds should adhere closely to the selected breed. A breed of cattle adapted for the production of beef cannot be improved with a breed adapted for milk and butter production. It is better to use each breed for what It Is Intended, as it will excel in one line only, being destroyed whenever an attempt Is made to secure an "all purpose" animal. Philadelphia Rec ord. Duration of Fertilizers. Regarding the duration of fertilizers In the soil, after application, experi ments made In England demonstrated that lime, when applied to hill pasture, Is supposed to last fifteen years, one twentieth to be exhausted the first year and one-tenth each year up to the seventh, Inclusive; one-twentieth from the eighth to the thirteenth In clusive and one-fourth each of the re maining two years; when applied to permanent grass other than hill pas ture it Is held to last for 12 years, one tenth being exhausted each of the first eight years and one-twentieth each of ,'he last four; and when applied to arable or meadow land, to be exhaust ed In eight years, one-tenth the first, two-tenths each the second and third and one-tenth each of the remaining Ave years. Undissolved bones, applied to per manent pasture, will last for ten years, the rate of exhaustion to be similar to lime on arable land. When applied on arable land in rotation of crops, bones are supposed to be exhausted at the rate of five-tenths the first, two tenths each of the second and third and one tenth the fourth and when applied to meadow land are supposed to exhaust at the rate of four-tenths each the first and second years and two-tenths the third year. Superphosphates on arable land, dis appeared It Is assumed, at the rate of eight-tenths the first year and two tenths the second. Nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia, being very solu ble go with one crop. The manural residue of purchased cakes, etc., consumed on permanent pasture is supposed to have effect for five years one-tenth going the first year, three-tenths each for the next two years, two-tenths the fourth year and one-tenth the fifth year; but on meadow land the duration is three years five-tenths being exhausted the first year, three-tenths the second and two-tenth the third. These results are not conclusive, but are valuable for comparison. A mixture of two bushels of ground plaster with thirty bushels of wood ashes Is one of the best fertilizers that can be applied to the clover field and it should be put on early, being evenly broadcasted. This work should be done on a damp day and the rains will carry it down. The effect of the application will be noticed during the whole season. Farm Topics. Sulphur, or snuff, rubbed through the fleece will destroy ticks. Hens that lay soft eggs are general ly quite fat from too much grain feed alone. Never use coal oil or grease of any kind on a sitting hen, as It prevents tne eggs troni hatching. Corn should be restricted to the fat tening flock, and then must be fed with a nitrogenous food, such as clover hay. The beet single grain for breeding sheep Is oats. Bran Is also good for breeding ewes to stimulate tbem and produce strong lambs. The value of any kind of farm stock depends upon the progress made by each animal during the first year of its life whether purchased or not. If a hen lays one egg a week she will pay all expenses of her keep. Every egg over is a profit The greater the number of eggs received the lower the cost of each egg proportionately. Whether pure breeds or grades, the chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys on the farm make a marked comparison with those bred without regard to mer it, and every farmer should breed to improve. Onions should go In rich ground, but the most important work with grow ing them is to get them planted early and to keep the ground clear of weeds' at the beginning. It is the quick start that makes the onion crop large. The colors of red 'and violet are rendered extremely brilliant It is said, by covering the earth in their pots with about one-half inch of pulverized charcoal. But the charcoal will not af fect a yellow flower at all in this way. A few guinea fowls on the farm are worth something to keep hawks away, and they are still more valuable as bug catchers in the garden. They don't scratch like other fowls, and for this reason they may be permitted to forage among delicate plants. An acre of rich clover will pasture eight shoats from spring to autumn. If good stock these should gain 100 pounds each. Can pork be made as cheaply in any Other way, or is there any other means by which an acre of clover can be made to pay so well? Jumping from shallow to deep plow Ing all at once usually results in de creased crop yield at the succeeding harvest " The soil should be grad ually deepened by letting the plow bring up a little of the subsoil each year until the desired depth is reached. If you have a pear tree that bears cracked fruit scatter wood ashes over all the surface of the ground under the tree out about two feet beyond the outer limbs; then at fruiting time note the result If the ashes can be stirred two or three Inches Into the soil all the better. ' Comfort and convenience are most essential features to the country home and If the farmer would keep the wrin kles of care from his brow and have those about him happy and contented he will look to these matters carefully and well. As a usual thing they are entirely overlooked. Children Overtaxed. Professor Czerny of Breslau re marks with reference to the com plaint that children are over-burdened with work in school and at home, that the chief harm is done by al lowing children to associate with persons older than themselves, which tends to overstlmulate their minds. They should spend most of their time with other children of the same age. FEARFUL BURNING SORES. Bpy in Misery 12 Years Eczema In Rough Scales, Itching and In 11 mned Cured by Cuticura. "I with to inform you that your won derful Cuticura has put a atop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care' of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it became. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery, I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me thst my son's enema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improve ment, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Sumner Avenue. Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 190S." Travel on Land and 8ea. The sea has figured In human rec ords as an insatiable monster and in poetry as being possessed of a con suming hunger for Its toll of sailors and voyagers. Last year 471 "souls were lost at sea," 267 on the Atlantic, 88 on the Pacific and 120 on the Great Lakes In the marine commerce and travel of the six nations. Less mer ciful by far were the railroads. Dur ing the same year 4,200 passengers and employes were killed by the rail roads of the United States alone, and some 750 In Canada, while more than 02,000 were Injured. One million humble Immigrants were, carried across the Atlantic without a single loss of life by drowning. Several hundred Immigrants were killed on the Journey Inland. Great fear Is expressed by many whose timidity prevents them from venturing upon the water In a modern ship that the vessel may strike a rock, collide with some nameloss and formless mass of founder In the tremendous sea. The real fears should be aroused on boarding the modern train with Its record of human lives. Detroit Free Press. AILING WOMEN. Keep the Kidneys Well and the Kid neys Will Keep You Well.
