K. O. McCORMICK, Passenger Traffic Manager, "Big Four Route." Cincinnati, O. A Practical Test. Dom Pedro, the last emperor of Bra tll, was a man of a practical turn of flilnd, as the following story told of him well Illustrates, says Harper's Round Table. He once gave an audience to a young engineer who came to show him a new Sppllauce for stopping nillway engines, 'he emperor was pleased with tlis Idea, but wished to put it to a practical test. "Day after to-morrow," said he, "have your engine ready. We will have It coupled to my saloon-carriage ind start. When godng at full speed I will give the signal to stop and then we twill see how your invention works." At the appointed time all was in read iness. The emperor entered his car riage, the young inventor mounted his engine and on they sped for several miles as fast as they could go. There came no signal, and the engineer be gan to fear that the emperor had fallen jualeep. Suddenly the engineer came to R sharp curve around the edge of the cliff, when, to his horror, on the track directly ahead of them the engineer saw a huge bowlder. He had just sufficient presence of mind to turn the crank of hie brake and pull the engine up within a couple of yards of the fatal block. Here the emperor put Ills head out of his car window and demanded to know the cause of the sudden stoppage. The engineer pointed to the rock, and, much to his surprise, Dom Fedro began to laugh. "Fush it to one side and go on," he laid* calmly. The engineer obeyed and kicking the stone was still further astonished to crumble into dust before him. It was nothing more nor less than a block of starch which the emperor had hail placed on the rails the night be fore. A Simple Firo Extinguisher. Iland-grenades, the simplest form of flre-extingulshcr, can bo made at home Cheaply and easily. And it is well to have at hand a simple contrivance for extinguishing a small fire at Its start. Take twenty pounds of common salt and ten pounds of sal ammoniac (ni trate of ammonia, to be had of any druggist), and dissolve in seven gal lons of water. I'rocure quart bottles af thiu glass, such as are ordinarily ftsed by druggists, and fill with this, corking tightly and sealing, to prevent •yvaporation. In case of fire throw so as to break in or near the flame. If the fire is in such R place as to prevent the bottle from breaking, as in wool or cotton, knock off the neck and scatter the contents. The breaking of the bottle liberates a certain amount of gas, and the heat of the fire generates more, thus work ing its own destruction.

Every one must have noticed the difference in size and productiveness of different chestnut trees iu our woods, says the Massachusetts Plough man, some producing large handsome nuts iu quautity, while others yield only a meager crop of inferior size. None of our native nuts, however, compare at all for size or attractive ness with the chestnuts of Spain, Italy and Japan, which are easily grafted upon the common chestnut of our woods. The peculiarities of these large nuts are not propagated with certainty by growing seedlings; these differ widely from each other anil from the parent tree. It is, however, by no means difficult to graft the chestnut, and by this method the different varieties are perpetuated with certainty. Trees grown from our native nut make ex cellent stock upon which to graft the large varieties. The Italian anil Spanish chestnuts are not hardy enough to endure our climate, but there are severaHarge va rieties from Japan that are entirely hardy anil much larger than any of our native nuts. If one wishes to grow stocks on which to graft chestnuts he should save the nuts now anil pack them carefully in sand in boxes made of hemlock boards, which mice and squirrels dislike to gnaw into, and these boxes should be covered with a foot of earth iu a dry place out of doors; in spring the nuts should be taken out and planted in rows two and one-half feet apart, setting the nuts six inches apart. After the trees have made one or two years' growth, they should be grafted near the ground in early spring and banked up with earth so as to cover the place where the scion is inserted, but leaving its point exposed to the air. As with any other grafting it is necessary to bring the iuner bark of the scion and stock together in order to effect the union anil to keep out dry air and sunshine until the union is well per fected. The chestnut is a very useful tree both for its nuts anil wood anil de serves to be plauted much more large ly upon our rocky hills where it grows naturally, except in the more northern parts of New England.- - Farm, Field and Fireside. Morp Profit in Sheep Than Poultry. No one questions the value of a flock of poultry ou a farm when well kept. All the estimates as to profits are too low. There are eggs aud chickens that go onto the farmer's table that never get into the account book. My experience has proved that with a good market near by, a small flock, well cared for and skillfully managed, prolific in producing eggs and good for rearing chicks, may with out difficulty pay, in clear profit, the interest on SSO a year for each hen. This is only $3, and I have made with the best of care and management fully $0 a year from a small flock of light Brahmas from eggs and chickens alone. No fancy prices were received for the eggs. They were simply sold for domestic use, and were fresh and guaranteed to be not more than three days from the hens. Tho broiling chicks, too, were fed well and reached a good size early, so that they were tender and sweet to eat, and brought a high price. Perhaps it will not be thought, rea sonable, but I have found it true in practice, that a sheep may bo kept for uo more than a lieu, if mauaged as they may be. This is counting things at cost, for it is not fair to [charge a flock with foddor and grain at the selling price and then expect it to pay another second profit. But this is often done, and yet this second profit is really made from the sheep. I have fed sheep for seventy-five cents a year over and above the value of the fleece in cases where they have had to be fed on costly food and liaud-fed the whole winter. Elsewhere I have fed Rlieep for seventy-five cents a year, all expenses included. This is where they have been pastured nearly the entire twelve months. It has cost me the same amount to feed a hen, that is, as it must bo fed to make a profit. And in the case of the flock I have sold three-month-old lambs for $lO a head, and the ewes, fat in the fall, at a profit of $3 a head. All this was clear profit, for in the most expensive method of feediug the fleece never failed to pay the sheep's feeding. But as a rule it is quite possible to feed a sheep for the same cost as five hens aud at the average value of their products the sheep will be far more profitable thau the hens will. There is the home market, however, for the sheep reared on a farm, to the extent of at least twenty head, and at the average value of the meat a sixty pound mutton will be worth six or seven dollars. Aud just here the farm ers' meat clubs will serve a good pur pose. These are mutual associations, each member of which kills a beef or a mutton in turn, dividing up the meat Recording to some rule established ou * fair anil mutually satisfactory basis, tu this way the meat is disposed of at the full butcher,s pricejaud at the end of the season an accurate divisiou is made of the funds in hand or of the sredits, the balance iu cash accruing to each creditor being settled. In this convenient way the coat of the meat supply is reduced to its actual value and at least one-half the money other wise paid will be saved. For this mu tual co-operative business, the sheep is most acceptable.—Henry Stewart, in American Agriculturist. Farm and Garden Notes. Get rid of all surplus stock. See that the pullets have comforta ble quarters. Sell off all lions that do not show signs of moulting. The early hatched pullets will lay twice as many eggs this winter as the old hen. It will pay to have the garden plo all cleared and ready for plowing this fall. In fact, won't it pay to plow it as soon as the crops are off? Those contemplating the erection of beet sugar factories will do well to re member that for expert assistance and management a small factory will cost quite as much as a large one. The secret of winter eggs is: Hatch the pullets early and keep them grow ing; have warm quarters; do not crowd too many in a small place; keep them exercising, and feed properly. If any of our readers neglected to repair and oil the harness last spring when it should have been done, they should make a note of the fact and at tend to it at the first opportunity. Again we say radical changes in the food of animals should be made grad ually as possible. This is especially true of cows, for sudden changes effect the quality as well as the quantity of the milk. Corn and alfalfa go splendidly to gether, especially for feeding fatten ing animals. Corn being deficient in protein, and alfalfa rich in the same ingredient, serves to more nearly bal ance the ration. Hauling corn fodder up from the field every few days as wanted during the winter is, in most cases, a very slavish and unnecessary operation.- No time should be lost now in getting it into mow or stack. On many farms we see the stock still tramping over the meadows as it lias, done ever since haying. Wo never thought it paid to thus secure a little fall picking at the possible expense of the hay crop the next year. Here is the way a prominent stock man puts it: Wo are going to have the best times we have seen in fifteen years, and the stock-raising interest will, with proper management, have its full share in the general prosperity. One objection urged against winter dairying is that it is so much trouble to raise the calves when they cannot be turned out on pasture This dif ficulty is not a serious one if you have a good, warm barn, clover hay and eusilage. Those of our readers who took our advise and saw that the pigs and shoats received through the summer a fair proportion of bone and muscle form ing foods, have now a staunch frame upon which to lay the fat produced by a corn diet. Professor Flumb hit the nail fairly on the head when he wrote that the j farmers of Indiana ought not to allow a pound of skim milk to go to waste from the creameries or farm dairies. It can be fed to great profit to grow ing pigs, for it will assist in rapid flesh development. What is true of skim milk in Indiana is equally true of it elsewhere. The use of butter which contains neither salt nor coloring matter is said to be increasing in New York to such an extent that it may now be obtained at some of the best hotels and restau rants, while other houses are using butter containing about half the usual salt. Of course, customers can sea son the fresh butter to suit their own individual tastes. Hebrews are the largest consumers of unsalted butter. A bunch of hungry hogs will do a good job turning and fining coarse, straw manure if some grain is sown upon it. Occasionally, their rooting propensities may be utilized in other ways. A Maine farmer is said to re move Blumpsby fencing them in, milk ing holes under them with crowbar, placing grain in holes and turning hogs into the enclosure. In rooting among the roots, the hogs are said to root the stumps out by the roots. Snake ami Lizard Match. While in the country last Sunday the editor of The Gazette saw a black snake try to capture a lizard for its dinner. The lizard had the best of the snake in the contest, which took place in a cluster of saplings. The lizard would run up a sapling clear to the top and patiently wait until the snake would slowly wind its way about half up the sapling, when the lizard would jump from the top of the tree to the ground, aud the snake would fling itself from the tree, both striking the ground about the same time, but be fore the snake could get itself straight ened out the lizard, which did not have to uncoil, would scale up another sapling, when the snake won Id-repeat its effort to procure a dinner. The snake, not being the ready climber the lizard was, was at a great disadvantage iu the contest, and after many efforts apparently gave it up as a fruitless .job.—Greenup (Ky.) Gazette. JAPANESE SELF-JICRDEB HARA-KARJ, OR "HAPPY DISPATCH," IS STILL IN VOGUE. It Originated Among the Military Class in Japan—A Privilege ot tho Upper Class— Often Made a Function, With Flabor ate Ceremonies—A Famous lostuice, Hara-kiri, or "happy dispatch," as it has been freely translated, is stili the mode of suicide among the Japan ese. This was shown by Gounseloi Katayama's attempt to kill himself in Yokohama the other day. Katayama is a bright young grad uate from the class in diplomacy in tli€ Foreign Office in Tokio, who had beer sent to assist the Japanese Minister, Shimamura, in the recent complies lions with the Hawaiian Government. He was recalled, and, believing thatil was owing to his failure to accomplish all his government had instructed him to do, he cut himself open and slil his throat. Hara-kiri means, literally, stomach cutting. The expression, though widely known outside of Japan, is not much used umong tho Japanese themselves. They use the word sep puku, which is derived from the Chin ese, as are so many of their polite terms, much as French words are used by those who affect elegance in this country. According to Basil Hall Chamber lain, an Englishman, Professor oi Japanese in the Imperial University in Tokio, seppukn is not a custom oi tho aboriginal Japanese, but came into vogue some time before 1500 among the samurai, or members of the mili tary class, the feudal nobility and the gentry. It was a bravo death and ghastly in its conception, as any one familiar with the Japanese theatre car, testify. Its carrying out demonstrated beyond doubt that the doer was at least possessed of physical courage, aud by the act he who performed il wiped out whatever stain may have sullied his personal honor. He died like a gentleman. Seppuku was a privilege of the up per class. The death sentence with those above the merchant, farmer and artisan was not carried out by the public executioner. They killed them selves in the preseuce of officials sen! to witness the deed. It was performed like all other acts in old Japan, even to tea drinking, with elaborate cere mony and detail. Mitford, in liis "Tales of Old Japan," describes it vividly. He was detailed as a repre sentative of the English Government to witness the Sentence carried out on a rebel who had fired on the allied lleet at Shimeuoseiki over u quarter ol a century ago. In liia "Story of the Forty-seven Ronin" in tho same volume lie gives an account of the most famous instance of seppuku on record. The'ronin were detached samurai, or military retain ers, without a master. Asauo, Lord of Ako, who had been master of the Fortv-seveu Ronin, was sentenced to commit seppuku for laying his hand upon his sword in one of the palaces of the Shogun, or Tycoon, tho general issimo J and actual ruler of tho country during the centuries which tho Mikado was in retirement. The ronin, with full knowledge that they would bo sentenced to seppuku likewise, broke into tho yasliiki, 01 palace, ot Kira, the noble who had evoked the breach of etiquette 011 the part of their lord, aud forced liim to commit seppuku. They offered up his head at a neighboring temple and then awaited calmly the sentence, which came in due courso aud was carried out. Often seppuku was performed in temples. The priests prepared a ban quet. The relatives of the condemned man, his friends and tho Government officials assembled and feasted. The condemned man, robed in white, the color of mourning in Japan, ate and exchanged wine cups with all present. Then seating himself in tho centre ol the room arranged for the ceremony, ho threw his robes from his shoulders and was naked to tho waist. An at tendant placed a low stand before him, 011 which was a cup of tea and the ku sun-go-bu, the shorter of the two swords worn by a samurai. Tucking the liowing sleeves of his robe under his knees, he wrapped n sheet of paper about the blade so as to leave about an inch of the poiut ex posed, and drew tho blh.de across liis abdomen from left to light, with a lit tle turn upward at the end of the stroke. Then leaning forward he readied for the cup, aud his chosen friend, standing at his post beside him with a drawn sword, severed his head from his body so that it liung by a bit of the skin at the throat as by a hinge. The witnesses stamped their report with their seals and departed. In those days death was tho fate of whoever liail the business to memor ialize the Government, but this did not deter the patriotic. The petitioner, with his prayer written in the form oi a letter and concealed about his per son, knelt before the gate of some pub lie building, and, having disembowe led himself, would thrust the knife through liis neck from ear to ear, and push it forward till it fell iuto his lap and he expired. The paper would bo found and its contents read by the official to whom it was directed. Young Katayama's easo is not ex traordinary.

The Chills ami Fever oi' Other Days Al most. UnlirarU Of. The Kansas City (Mo.) Sl.;;* reminds its readers of the "good old days" when there was no joke in the ague, when to live was to shake, for nobody was exempt by reason of age, sex, position in society or color. Those werogthe days when there were three synonyms for ague, besides plain 1 chills and fever. They were Indiana, ! Illinois and Missouri, and the greatest of these was Missouri. There were ; two divisions of severity in those days: | Those who "shook" on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday made up one division, and those who shook on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, I and remitted with the other the next : Monday were the other. In those ■ days the invitations to social functions ! read: "Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Laria present their compliments to Mr. C. A. Fever and beg to inform him that they will not be shaking on Tuesday, and would be pleased to have his presence at their | dark green tea." This would be the answer: i "Mr. C. A. Fever acknowledges the i kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. I Laria, but begs to inform them that i Tuesday is his day to shake." j Many an otherwise happy social j function was shattered, too, by the inability of the Mr. and Mrs. of the j household to get their ague for the j season started oft' on the same day. I Of course, under this circumstance the i whole family would be compelled to | miss the entire social season or disturb j with their rattling or chattering every gathering they attended. | To-day the dismissing sign reads: | "This is my busy day." In early i Missouri times "This is my day to shake" was the correct form. But all this is changed now. No longer is the congregation at church changed every Sunday, and no longer ire two preachers, guaranteed not to shake 011 the same day, necessary. It was almost a part of the contract in those days. For the old-time chills ! are 110 more, and the ague has almost disappeared. There are a few places in the South where it is still the cus tom, but it very seldom crosses Mason and Dixon's line now. In some of j the parts of Arkansas where typewrit ers and bicycle bloomers have not penetrated, there is yet some ague, but it seldom gets North of those secluded I spots. At present Dr. G. O. Coftlu, I city physician, is treating two cases of 1 real, old-fashioned fever and ague, but the}* are the first he has seen in Kan sas City in ten years, he says. Dr. D. I\. Porter, who came here from Ohio thirty years ago, and has j neon hero ever since, says he has not leen a case of old-time chills and fever In five years. Dr. Colfin says it is be muse of the improved sanitary condi tions. Dr. Porter says it is because people drink better water. In the early days, Dr. Porter said to a reporter for the Star, three-fourths af his income came from ague pa tients. Doctors grew rich treating malarial poison. The favorite and principal prescription then was, "Bx 1 quinine, twenty grains," in as many variations as the doctor's education and medical dictionary could conjure him, distinguished and high sounding terms to substitute for the word qui nine. And when both ran short, or I the patients found it out and went to 1 prescribing for themselves, it was an easy matter for the doctor and the druggist to get together behind the prescription case and agree upon something new and cryptogramatic.

The most wonderful temple in the world is built on a rocking stone on the summit of a mountain in Northern In dia. It is impossible to imagine a more wonderful situation It in that of thl9 temple. The rocking stone is situated on a mountain over twenty thousand feet high. It weighs many thousands j of tons, but is balanced on so fine a point that a comparatively light pres sure is sufficient to make it sway. Whether or not the great rock was raised to its present position by human hands is a mystery to scientific minds. If It was. the labor was one to which no modern engineering feat can be compared. The Hindu priests teach their followers that the rook was placed in position by the help of the gods. In this way they add considera bly to the feeling of awe which they 1 desire to create. The worshippers at this shrine must first make the ascent ! of the mountain, a matter of great dif- 1 ficulty. Then they spend seven days of preparation iu a temple built on the solid mountain before they are permit ted to make the final passage to the mysterious rocking stone. To reach the stone it is necessary to cross a bridge over a great chasm. Nature and man had combined to make this Hindu shrine awe-inspiring to the devout. Af ter crossing the bridge the pilgrim mounts a ladder, to which he clings iu terror for his life here and in the here after. The temple on the rock is nec- j ©ssarily a small place. Three priests officiate In it. The mysteries which take place there no man is permitted to reveal. Europeans have seen it from a distance. HOW? I ' >By soothing and subduing the' ' : ■ , pain.
