GROWING PLANTS IN WATER.
‘Bealthy snd Prolific Stalk of Indium
' hig Grows Without the id |
; of Any Soil.

It would surprise a Massachusetts
farmer to see a healthy, prolific stalk
of Indian corn growing from a vessel |
of clear water, but such a spectacle is
now often presented at the Harvard
tanical gar liens, says the Boston
Advertiser. For years Prof. Goodale
has heen experimenting with different
plans and different chemical sub-
stances to sdetermine just what part
they play in the necessary nourish-
ment of plant life, and it is a result
of these experiments that plant
growths can be made to flourish with
their roots entirely submerged in wa
ter, without the least particle of soil
Of course, this knowledge cannot yet
be dpplied to commercial purposes di-
rectly, but it is applied indirectly by
the farmer who learns what chemical
agents are valuable as fertilizers or
stimulants to plant life.
Indian corn has been mentioned as
an illustration because it has been the
most conspicuous, but there are in-
numerable vegetables and even shrubs
and trees which thrive in water which
has a deposit of certair chemical sub-
stances, such as chlot'de of potash,
sulphate of magnesia. phosphate of
iron, phosphate of potassium and some
of the nitrates. With the use of these
it has often been found that a plant
will grow, even though the water in
which its goots rest may be partly
frozen. The chemical elements are
Just as active, and the growth shoots
upward in its natural manner.
THREE YEARS’ LABOR COST.

A Fine Piece of Mexican Drawn Work
Entirely Ruined Just After Its
Completion.

To spend three years upon a piece of
work and then, by the simple overturn-
ing of an inkstand, ruin it all is not
conducive to good spirits, but such was
the case of a Germantown woman who
for three years worked unceasingly
upon a piece of Mexican drawn work,
says the Philadelphia Record. A few
days ago marked its completion, and 1
was laid out upon a table to await the
Inspection of a purchaser, who had of-
fered a sum far beyond the limit of what
one would imagine fancy work to be
worth in any quantity. The proud
owner of the work was suddenly awak-
ened from a nap by a scream from her
little daughter, and, looking at the
drawn work, imagined she was in the
midst of a nightmare, for the greater
portion was dripping with the black
contents of the inkstand, upset by the
little child. Chemists and drug stores
were telephoned to for recipes and arti-
cles for removing the stain, and after
using a quantity of acids the ink had
faded away, and when the drawn work
had been piaced in the sun to bleach,
peace was partly restored in the upset
household. When it came to bring in
the precious piece of linen, the first
touch made it practically dissolve inte
nothing, so thoroughly had- the acide
eaten into the fabric.
WHY CIGARS COME UNROLLED.
They Get Twisted in One Direction
in the Factory and in Another
by Smokers.

“It is an every-day occurrence to hear
men complain of poorly made cigars,”
said a well-known tobacconist one day
last week in discussing the matter with
one of his patrons, according to the Phil:
“It is not always be-
cause a cigar is indifferently or badly
made that the wrapper curls up acs
comes off. Very much oftener this comes
from the cigar having been rolled by a
maker's left hand and later smoked {from
the hand of a right-handed man.
“All cigarmakers must use both
hands equally well, and economy, botk
in time and material, is the prevailing
rule in the tobacco factories. When a
piece of tobacco is cut from the wrap-
per it is cut on the bias, and rolled from
left to right on the filler, and at the
same time by the other hand the remain-
ing pieces are used being necessarily
rclled in the opposite way. For this
reason the man who holds a cigar in his
right hand, which always receives a few
twists during th+ sourse of a smoke,
rubs the wrapper the wrong way, and
easily enough it b comes loosened.”
No One Outside the Russian War Of.
fice Knows Number of Troops
in Manchuria.

No one outside the Russian war office
knows the actual number of troops the
czar has in Manchuria or within reach
of it, says Everybody’s Magazine. The
Russian army in point of numbers is the
largest in the world. Nearly 900,00(
young men reach their majority in Rus-
sia every year, and each is bound by law
to spend five years in the army. If all
were taken they would make an arms
too large even for Russia, so only 219,00¢
go to the colors with the army or tle
fleet, and the rest go to the reserve. The
lowest peace strength of the Russian
military establishment, therefore, num-
bers more than a million men, with
42,000 officers. In war time, practically
all these young men join the colors,
swelling the army to the stupendous fig-
ures of 4,500,000 men and 75,000 officers
for whom there are provided 569,000
horses. Men who are in position to guess
shrewdly say there are more than 300,
000 Russian soldiers in Manchuria or
near it now. The number that can be
put in the field there is limited only by
the will of the government.
+ Men Houseservants,
Male “housemaids are the most re.
cent contribution to the solving of the
servant problem in Great Britain, it
seems. Several thousands of foreign
young men have recently been trans-
ported to London to engage in genera)
domestic work in British househalds.
Ho far nothing but commendation fe
heard on the subject. These menser-
vants, say ir employers, do the work

pmen in a cleaner, quicker and more
orough fashion t¢ the sex they
ve displaced. Ty waste less time,

igh wages, and do not bother about

carries out the prophecy of ths
t it will not be long hefore the

ally womanly fleld of house-
will be quite eclipsed by the
o superiority therein shown,

Periodic
Pains.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are a most remarkable remedy
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head-
ache, or any of the distress-
ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.
As pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex-
hausted condition, it is wrong
to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in-
dication of an attack,
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis-
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
“For a long time I have suffered
greatly with spells of backache, that
seem almost more than I can endure.
These attacks come on every month,
and last two or three days. I have
never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until I be-
began the use of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain
Pils, and they always relieve me in a
short time. y sister, who suffers
the same way, has used them with
the same results.” MRS. PARK,
721 8. Michigan St., South Bend, Ind.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are sold by

Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind
Engineer Says Public Demands Too
High a Rate of Speed to Dis-
tinguish Signals.

“Yes,” said the engineer of a famouse
fast train, in talking over a recent big
railroad wreck the other day, “there have
been a good many bad wreckslately, but
there’s nothing surprising about them.
When a smash-up happens people get all
sorts of reasons for it, but they rarely
hear the right one. The real cause lies
with the public, that wants to travel at
a rate of speed that can’t be kept up with
safety.
“I have been in the business a good
many years, and I am firmly convinced
that 40 miles an hour is about as fast
as a train ought to go. When you have
to run at 50, 60, or 70 miles an hour, the
engineer is simply taking chances. The _
other night I was running into a small
city up the state. It seemed to me that
more than a thcusand green, red and
white lights were dancing before my
eyes, and I couldn’t tell one from the
other. How much worse it is coming
into Chicago you can imagine. We will
never have anything like safety in rail-
road travel as long as the public de
mands such high speed.”
The Maori Executioner.
In a collection of weapons gathered
by the prince of Wales among the Mao-
ris, of New Zealand, and recently pre-
sented to the British museum, are many
specimens of the “mere pomaniu,” ashort
sword, mafle of a broad blade of jade-
stone, with sharp edges. This was used
mainly for the execution of prisoners,
this office being considered an honor-
able privilege of the chiefs. One blood-
thirsty of Maoris is known to have killed
150 men by his own hand after a vie-
tory with one of these old weapons.
The spearlike point of the blade was
used to pierce the victim's brain just
above the right cheek, and with a dex-
terous turn of the wrist the top of the
skull was lifted completely off.
Students Sell Themselves.
A new custom has arisen among needy
college students on the Russian Caucas-
as. According toa Baku newspaper,
they sell themselves in the matrimonial
market. Local tradesmen, proud of re-
ceiving a scholar into the family, com-
pete for the honor of having a student
son-in-law. The bids average $1,500.
With this money the prospective bride-
groom is able 1c complete hisstudies and
obtain a government appointment.—

Industrious Fisher.
The white tern has the curious habit
of never bringing less than two fish at
a time to its young. It carries the fish
crosswise in its bill and sometimes re-
turns from its excursions with no less
than four fish thus carried. It is easy
eonugh to understand how it captures
the first fish, but naturalists are unable
to comprehend how the bird manages to
retain it while securing additional ones.
Its ability to hold three fish in its bill
and still capture a fourth is particularly
puzzling,

A Great Specialist, Will Send His Book an
$2.60 Worth of His Famous Treatment
Free to any Reader.
There never was a better opportunity for
persons suflering from diseases ot the heart
nerves, liver, stomach and kidneys to test,
free, a remarkably successful Treatment
for these disorders. The doctor is known
10 be a leading specialist in these diseases
and his liberal offer is certainly worthy of
serious consideration by the afillicted, This
opportunity may never occur again.
His system of Personal Treatment is
thoroughly scientific and 1mmensely super-
ior to other methods, It includes several
new remedies carefully selected to suit each
individual case and is the final result ot
twenty-five years of very extensive research
and great success in treating these diseases,
Each treatment consists of a curative
elixir, t mic tablets, elimipating pills and
usually a plaster: Extensive statistics
clearly demonstrate that this Personal
Treatment is at least three times as success
full as the usual treatment of physicians or
general remedies sold at the stores,
Col. K&. B. Spileman of the 91h United
States Regulars, located at San Diego Cal,
says, “The Doctors Personal Treatment
pas worked wonders in my son's case when
all else failed. I had employed the best
medical talent and had spent $2,000 in
doing so. 1 beheve he is a wonderful
specialist, I consider it my duty to re-
commend him.” “For years | had severe,
trouble with my stomach head, neuralgia
sinking spells nid dropsy. Your treatment
entirely cur d me.”
Mr. Juiius Keister, of 3,0 Michigan Ave
Chicago, testifies that he was cured after
ten able physicians had failed. Mrs, R.
Trimmer of Greenspring, Pa, was cured
after many physicians had pronounced her
cnse ‘‘hopel ess.”
