Pittsburg Improvements Completed. The improvements that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have had under way at Pittsburg for the past 15 month:- have been completed with the excep tion of a small amount of paving be tween the tracks which will be done in the Spring. The line now has splendid terminals at that point and sufficient trackage to handle the vast amount of business with not only economy hut with celerity. The changes cost in the neighborhood of $450,000 and consist of a new yard at Glenwood (one of Pitts burg's suburbs), a double track trestle nearly two miles in length, the chang ing of the line of road leading into the passenger station and the building of new freight yards near that point. More AVeildings in the Country. "It is a very noticeable fnct," said Mnj.

In some instances the country boy marries a city girl, but not very often. The city boy seldom, if ever, marries a country girl. Of course, the city boy does not like to marry whore Ihere is a disparity of minds, for, as Dickens says, 'those people can never live happy.' What do I think Is tho cause of It? Why, I think the coun try boy is more economical with the money he earns than the boy of the city. lie can do better 011 $25 a month than a boy reared in the city can with SSO.

Medical authorities appear to be becoming convinced of the efficncy of alcohol, in the treatment of cancer. It is used in hypodermic injections, and its strength has been gradually increased from a ten per c3nt. solution until the pure alcohol is often used. The injections avo repeated after five to seven days. The cancer cells are destroyed, the growth gradually be coming smaller, and finally leaving a hard mass that may be ignored or cut out. A floating scientific station was the novel suggestion made to the inter national geologioal congress by Pro fessor Andrussow. It would consist if a ship fitted with apparatus and aboratories for geological and biological study of the ocean bottom, and would us kept constantly exploring the dif ferent pavts of the world, the expense to be met by international contribu tions. The scheme was warmly ap proved by Dr. John Murray and other scientific leaders. During the Zulu war Dr. George Stoker observed that wounded natives quickly recovered in mountainside places to which they were carried. This led him, on his return to Eng land, to experiment with oxygen as a Iressing for wounds, the result being | the establishment of a home where i the oxygen treatment is carried out. The application is made by enclosing the injured limb in a suitable case, which is kept charged that the gas. The dressing irritates less than others, is stimulating and oxidizes bacterial poisons. Raids by Wild Horses. In the Arizona papers of late there have been frequent complaints of serious injury, both to crops and to pastures, caused by the raids of wild horses. Homething like 20,000 of these creatures, it is estimated, are now roaming the plains of that terri tory, and they have become serious nuisances. Tkore is some cause for surprise in the fact that at this late day, even in Arizona, an animal alien to the country can resume the habits of his almost immeasurably remote ancestors, and can multiply rapidly without care or protection of any kind. The horse in domestication is a rather dolicato creature, subject to many ills, and often hard to keep in health, though watohed with close attention and allowed to want for nothing whatever. When forced to rely on his own resources however, he shows a marked capacity for re suming the wild state and for guard ing himself against enemies of all sorts. Ever sinoe the days of the Spanish explorers tho horse at every opportunity has demonstrated his lik ing for freedom and his adaptability for meeting without aid the condi tions of life in tho West and South. Large herds were often seen years ago, but that they should still find room in the United States is really notable, as proving that the country is not nearly so well settled as the opponents of immigration would have us believe.—New York Times. Use For Hot; Wuter. A strip of flannel or a soft napkin, folded lengthwise and dipped in hot water and wrung out,and then applied around tho neck of a child that has the croup, will usually bring relief in a few minutes. A proper towel folded several times and dipped in hot water,quickly wrung and applied over the site of toothache or neuralgia, will generally afford prompt relief. This treatment for colic has been found to work like magic. Nothing so pronptly cuts short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat, or rheumatism as hot water, when ap plied early in the case and thoroughly. Hot water taken freely half an hour before bedtime is an excellent cathartic in the case of constipation,while it has a soothing effect upon the stomach and bowels. Tho treatment, continued a few months, with the addition of a cup oi hot water slowly sipped half an hour beforo each meal, with proper atten tion to diet, will cure most caris of dyspepsia. Ordinary headaches almost always yield to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck.—Phrenological Journal. Li Hnnc Chang's Woman Physician. Li Hung Chang has appointed as first physician in his private house hold a Chinese woman, Miss Hu King Eng, M. D., who Was graduated from an American medical college. Previous to this appointment she was an attend ing physician at the Women's Hospi tal in her native city of Foo Chow,and also a practising missionary physician, for, early in life she adopted the Gbjris tian religion. A Barnyard Coinpoxt Heap. My ideal barnyard, and one wbicli I have used for several years, adjoins the cattle and horse barns, und is two feet deeper in the centre thau on tho sides, writes R. Bingham, of New Jer sey. The depression is large enough to hold tho liquid excrement and the water after a rainfall without over flowing. In this I place cuttings of weeds, grass, tender shrubs and briars from the roadside, along fences, ditches and waste places, leaves and sln-.de trees, potato, tomato, bean aud pea vines, corn stubs, old papers, rags, callings of fruit and vegetables, dead poultry, dead dogs. Useless and dead horses and cattle are worth more than fertilizer manufacturers pay for them. When buried in the heap and covered with horse manure or soil, offensive odors are absorbed. Sweepings from macadam or Telford roads, tho pul verized rock from the new magnet iron process, may add to our fertiliz ing material. • When vines, stubs, etc., or crops sown for the purpose are piowed in where they grew, the poor spots in the field get the least benefit and tho rich places tho most, but when put ting on compost we reverse the order. To offset the cost of transportation to and from the compost heap, we have better plowing and working. Weed seeds and insect pests which would live over in the field are drowned, crushed or germinated to die iu the composfr. The vegetable matter is worth, at fertilizer prices, about five to eight dollars per dry ton, and clean roadsides and farm as much more, so that it doubly pays'to keep a compost heap. The ground should first be plowed and the compost spread on and mixed with the surface soil. Iu taking out compost, I commence nt the highest corner and throw back all coarse ma terial for a new heap. Working the fine compost in the surface soil gives to the rootlets tho food as the rain dis solves it. It also serves as a mulch in conserving moisture by preventing rapid evaporation; but coarse material plowed iu deeply prevonts the rise of capillary moisture during dry weather and increases the injury from drouth. The general practice in market garden ing is to open furrows and place tho manuro in, and' plant seeds or set plants on or above the manure. * Be lieving this to be wrong, I planted peas and potatoes in tho furrows and set plants in the soil, with the manure above the seed and rootlets, and had from ten to thirty per cent, more product with the manure above. The dryer the season, the greater the dif ference. By t his method I have cleaner and more fertile farms, better crops, fewer weeds and insect pests, a better reputation and peaceful home. Pushing; Our Horses. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson baa inaugurated an inquiry to ascer tain the demand for horses in foreign countries, especially with reference to tho requirements of European Govern ments for horses for their armies, and has appointed Mr. Charles E. Stubbs, of Denver, as a special commissioner to visit Europe aud assist in collecting data for a bulletin on the subjeot. Secretary Wilson takes tho position that with our cheap' grasses and grains tho United States should sup ply horses, as well as cattle, for the rest of the world, and that well directed efforts, as soon as the foreign domand is known, will enable our farmers and stookmen to control tho foreign markets. While our diplo matic and consular representatives have been instructed to eo-operate with Secretary Wilson in an investi gation of the world's markets for agri cultural products, and although the Secretary of Agriculture has enlisted the assistance of scieutifio societies and commercial organizations as well as individuals in foreign countries jnritli a view to obtaining the latest and fullest information available con cerning agricultural subjects, the re sults up to date have not been entirely satisfactory. It Las been found nec essary, whenever a thorough investi gation is to be made along any par ticular line, to select an expert for that purpose and send him abroad. The dependence of the agricultural in dustries upon voluntary assistance for important information concerning foreign markets, and the inability of tbe Secretary to direct tbe honorary agents of his department in an inves tigation of any particular industry, has caused biin to recommend that graduates of agricultural colleges and other experts who are competent to condnot scientific as well as com mercial inquiries in agricultural sub jects be sent abroad as attaches at our legations, especially those in Europe. These attaches would not only keep tho department informed of agricul tural developments and progress in their respective countries, but would report upon tho demands of the mar kets and would be available for imme diate service iu any investigation which the Secretary of Agriculture should deem of value to our agricul tural, interests. The proposition has received the indorsement of the House Committee on Agriculture, and may be embodied in the Agricultural Ap propriation bill. Secretary Wilson has employed Mr. Stubbs to colleot all available infor mation concerning the peculiarities of the different foreign horse markets, especially the requirements and regu lations controlling she purchase of horses for European armies, those that are most in demand, the present source of supply and the prevailing prices. It is his purpose to make the inquiry thorough in every particular and present such information to our breeders and farmers generally as will enable them to determine intelligently" where it will bo to their advantage to compete for a foreign market. Eu ropean Governments send agents abroad every year to purchase horses for their cavalry and artillery service. These agents generally visit the United States, but some have of late years turned their attention to the Argen tine Republic with indifferent success. The complaint generally heard con cerning the horses of the United States does not refer to their breed, size or price, but to the refusal or neglect of our stock-growers to pre pare for the demands. Generally they make no effort to secure the trade, and this indifference has diverted the agents at times to other horse-raising countries. The Secretary believes that when our breeders understand the foreign demand and are instructed how the markets can be best reached and controlled the large profits will induce them to compete for the trade. —Chicago Record. Boat Shelter From Llglitiilnc. Campbell Swinton says lightning is most apt to strike projecting objects —for example, a tree. On that prin ciple you ought to keep clear of trees, just as you would keep clear of a hay rick. Similarly, if you are in a flat space—take a farmer's field—you should make yourself as little an ob ject as possible. If everything ia level, you yourself become the pro jective point which may attract the lightning. Therefore, lie down flat 011 the ground, or, even better, get into a hole. "A person who took shelter in a hole," Campbell Swinton continued, "would be absolutely safe, I should think. Even if lightning were to strike the ground near by, its power would scatter so much that he would hardly be likely to come to harm. Then, if you are in a house while a thunder storm is raging, the safest shelter would be in the cellar—that is, far away from the objective parts of the building. For myself, lam rather skeptical how many folks would care to crawl into a hole or plunge into a cellar. You see, tho risk to life and limb in Englandfrom lightning is very small indeed—so small that the aver age man would run it rather thau dis turb himself." "I suppose the idea which you have indicated to me explains the damage that factory chimneys and the chim neys of dwelling houses occasionally sustain from lightning?" "Just so. They are a point of at traction. Not only that, but there must be an additional attraction in the column of warm air which arises from a chimuoy when a fire is burning be neath it. I onco saw a chimney struck by lightning, and smoke had been issuing from it. There wero various neighboring chimneys, but, so far as I could make out, nono of them was active.. The incident occurred while I was sitting in the Wellington Club, and the damaged chimney belonged to a house on the other side of Grosvenor Crescent."—London Chronicle. •'Goose-Cutting"—A New Game. Annother game, that of "goose cutting," has been added to the long list in vogue at social gatherings, says the New York Evening Post. The hostess provides a well-drawn outline of a goose, which is usuully of red cloth, or, if made of paper, is colored red or black. This is merely for tho purpose of distinctness. Two pairs of Rcissors are provided and a number of sheets of plain brown paper. Each gentleman invites a lady to out a goose with him, and in turn these couples are seated back to back in two chairs in the center of the room. When the model goose has been studied, tho pair are blindfolded, and proceed to evolve with their scissors and sheet of paper copies of the fowl. Having fin ished, each paper is duly signed by its creator and laid aside. Great merri ment is always arroused by tho pro cess of cutting, as the pair work in full view of the rest of tho company. When finished, all the results are laid out on the parlor floor, names down, and two judges, who have not been present at the cutting pass upon the merits of the geese submitted, and prizes reward the workers according to their merit. .

Newspnpers* Stability. A question that was frequently asked was: "What will become of the Sun now that Dana is dead?" The inquiry Is based on a mistaken Idea. A great newspaper Is far more than an Individ uality, no matter how eminent its editor may be. It is an accretion of years and of effort in many departments, and when it reaches the first rank has passed far beyond the limits of a single personality. The groat newspaper is in some de gree the creation of the public itself, who, appreciating its ilrm principle and Intelligent championship of the right, make it their forum. A journal of this high order and broad influence Is interwoven with current history, and has a perpetuity like the tide of human life.
