The Highest in the World Crosses
the Andes.
Nearly Three Mll«« Above the
Level of the Sea.
Tho higlioit point attained by a rail’
road iu the United State* is in tilt
Rocky mountains, 9027 feet above tli*
sea. Trains on the Calloa-Oroya lilt*
ia Pern are now ascending to a height
as far above tills great elevation as the
total height of Mount Washington. In
other words, when a train on the
Oroya line enters the Galera tunnel to
cross from tho western to the cnstorn
slope of the Cordilleras it is more than
a mile higher above the sen than tho
loftiest bit of railroad track iu this
country. Some stretches of track in
Mexico are also higher than any rail
road in the United States.
At present the Galera tunnel is the
highest elevation attained by any rail
road in the world. Some months ago
the Sun reported that this wonderful
Oroya railroad had at last crossed tho
Andes. It was on September 28ili la«t
that the first train from Callao passed
through the tunnel to the eastern sido
of the mountains. Twenty years
elapsed after (he line was started at
the sea before the Cordilleras were
conquered, and trains lmvo scarcoly a
foot of level grade for 10<i milts until
they pull into the Galera tunnel,
15,638 feet above (he sea, and emerge
upon tho eastern face of the Andes.
If this were not the loftiest tunnel
in the world it would still bo con.
apicuous ns a specimen of railroad
construction. It was driven through
the rock a distance of 3855 feet, if a
train happens to stop iu the tunnel,
passengers can hear water from tl e
vaulted roof patlenugon the car lops.
The melting snow (hat crowns the
mountain summit above it filters
through to the excavation. Two chan
nels aro cut iu the rock to carry the
water out of tlis tunnel. One of (hem
leads to the head stream of au Amazon
tributary and the Atlantic, the othei
to the Rimac River and the Pacific.
It is doubtful if any other railroad
for general traffic will ever be carried
to so groat an elevation. The surveys
for (tie Pan-American railroad do uot
thus far indicate elevations at all ap
proaching that of the Oroya line. It
will be necessary here and there to
pass from one valley to another sep
arated by mountain ranges, but the
highest points along tho line will uot
be over 7000 feet above the sea, if the
results of the preUmiuary surveys hold
good.
South America will always beat the
rest of the world in elevated railroads.
The South Peruvian line from Mol*
lendo to Lake Titicaca attains a height
of 14,641 feet, only 997 feet tower
than the Galera tunnel. The reinavk*
able Chilean Railroad, now nearing
completion, which, starling at Anto
fagasta, runs hundreds of miles north
east into Bolivia, lias its highest point
at Carcoto, 12,008 feet above the sea;
and it is a noteworthy coincidence
that tho Trans-South American line
from Buenos Avres to Valparaiso is
also said to be just 19,008 feet above
the sea at its highest point. These re
sults have been obtained by triangula-
tiou, but for ordinary purposes it
may be as well to lop oft the extra
feet above 12,000, just as some geog
raphers do in the case of Mt. Everest.
They say that (lie figure 29,004 feot,
given as the height of this loftiest ol
mountains, implies a refinement of
accuracy iu measurement to which it
is not entitled.—[New York Sun.

FOB FARM AND GARDEN.
SRRKP FOK BOUGH I.AND. '
There is much rocky and otherwise
rough laud that will pay better to seed
down and keep stocked witlieheep
than it will to plow and cultivate. On
such land plowing is difficult, aud
when (he laud 1b plowed tho washing
by rains soon destroys wiint fertility
it possesses. Sheep will do belter on
such land than they will on that which
is soft and mucky, and the land pas
tured by sheep constantly grows
richer.—[Boston Cultivator.
TO KEEP AWAY BABBITS.
A writer in American Gardening
says lie lias tried tarred aud oiled
paper for two years for repelling rab
bits, aud lias been disgusted with the
results, the tar blackening tiie bark
aud (ho oiled piq or becoming torn
with storms and affording shelter for
insects.
But washing with soft soap and car
bolic acid lias proved effectual and
satisfactory. A quart of soft soap is
added to three quarts of boiling water,
and two ounces of carbolic acid are
added. An old shoe brush is used in
applying it. He applied it last autumn
to a thousand trees, and not one w as
injured by rabbits up to this year, al
though these auimals are abundant.
Applied twice a year it repels borers.
THE PLANT FOB GREEN MANURING.
Tho plant to ho grown exclusively
for greou manuring is one that we
can uso as a stolen crop on laud that
has already produced a crop for tho
season or is growing one. It is doubt
less hard to find in connection with
the ordinary crops of the farm or
usual rotations. A New Jersey farm
er, writing in this connection to (lie
Country Gentleman, says:
“1 am inclined to think that crimson
clover fills the bill. It fits in with
uiy system of partial soiling, sown
after early potatoes ou my first crop
of soiling corn and is harvested tlie
ensuing season in time for a second
planting of coni or a crop of Hun
garian grass. We sow it the last of
August. Experience with it in two
years of drought, indicates that it may
be sown safely with us on the 1st of
September, if uot ns late as the middle
of that month, it is a more vigorous
grower than ordinary clover. I have
scarcely had experience euough to fix
its time of maturity further than to
say it would give a big crop for
ploughing under about the 1st of
Juno.”
METHODS OF TRAINING GRAPEVINES.
There are several methods of train
ing grapevines. The most recent
practice, however, is the use of a sin
gle i ost set ten feet apart, with cros -
arms four feet long projecting on each
side six feet above the ground. A
vine is set on eacii side of each post
aud the canos are trained (o wires
stretched along tiie crossarms from
(lie ends, thus forming a kind of hor
izontal trellis. The canes arc trained
iu a waving direction back and forth
to ihc wires, so that the fruit is al !
borne overhead. This affords abun
dant exposure to the air under the fo
liage and shade for tiie fruit from the
sun. The stern is kept clear of canes
below the aims. This is a modifica
tion of the method practiced in the
French vineyards, iu which the vines
aro kept low and not more Ilian throe
feet above tiie ground, and (lie bear
ing canes are trained on horizjnlal
frames set ou short posts. This plan
is adopted for the advantage of tiie
reflected heat of tiie sun from the
soil. In tills system the vines are
planted only four foet apart in rows
eight feet from each oilier. T he fruit
is gathered more easily, and all tiie
work done is less laborious than with
the higher training. — [New Yolk

MILK FOR FATTENING FOWLS.
Wliut a different taste a line, uieely
and quickly fatted fowl has when
served on (ho table compared to one
which lias been forced to scratch for
all its living and then lie consigned to
the spit in anything but a fit condition
for food. Fanners realize ilie im
portance of rationing quickly when
feeding beeves for the butcher, yet.
many do not realize tiie fact that what
holds good with tiiat kind of meat is
equally true when applied to fowls.
Tenderness and juciness are results of
fattening quickly, while mere ordinary
flavor aud want of tenderness result
from letting fowls run until wanted
for use on the table.
To enable one to fatten fowls or
chiuks quickly it is absolutely neces
sary to give such food as will accom
plish tho purpose best, and to this end
avc unhesitatingly recotnmond plenty
of milk in any state, from fresh to
thick. This should be fed in connec
tion with a grain diet, for cue coun
teracts any possible deleterions influ
ence of the oilier. If kept iu a dark
ened place amt fed uusparinglv o.
milk, with grain food in the propei
proportions, you will soon have some
thing very choice to oiler upon your
labloa to your friends as well as to
your family. When milk is fed no
water is required for fattening fowls.

M A RK ETIN G I'O U LTRY.
The marketing of poultry, as well as
every farm product should be more
carefully done, getting each product
to tho conautner and giving him ad
vantage of a portion of the profit* the
middleman acaips. You will win his
friendship, goodwill and respect, and,
what is best of all, his patronage con
tinually. Seek tho better class of
customers, rich city families wanthig
a choice pair or dozen chickens each
week, or a regular supply of strictly
fresh farm eggs at prices that are the
market, or above it iu some cases.
Even at market prices your profits will
bo yours and not (lie middleman's.
Do you not see? You will bo stir-
prised to sec how many people want
tiie best poultry and eggs, and nre al
ways willing to pay lop prices. They
want to bo sure of what they are gel
ling. Once your honesty is proven to
thorn you are sure of poultry becoming
remunerative and a great pleasure.
Besides the private consumer the bet
ter class of cafes, hotels, restaurants
and hospitals should command your
attention, ns they usually pay good
prices for the gilt edged fowl or fruit
of the hen, both of which enn be pro
duced cheaply and successfully by any
intelligent farmer who will give the
same attention aud enorgy lie devotes

AGAINST CRUELTY TO COWS.
Are men to allow greed to so domi
nate them as to obliterate thought of
tho comfort and the health of the
brutes under their charge? Men maJ
regard catilo ns mere machines, but
tiie fact remains that (hoy are of a
sensitive organization, capable of
suffering and enjoyment, and that to a
degree too often lost sight of. The
idea that it is just ns well for a cow,
either in point of comfort of health,
to be tied up six mouths with no ex
ercise, is contrary to all physiological
teaching, that nutritions food, light
and exercise are necessary to tiie
maintenance of health aud to a full
development. Give cows chance to
go out in the suulight of the warm
days in winter and see how quickly
they go, and see the real enjoyment
depicted on their expressive faces.
Even though tho milk flow mny be
somewhat lessoned, will not what is
lost in quantity bo made up in quality?
At any rate I am sure I would rather
eat dairy products of strong, healthy
cows than that of those weakened and
enervated by close confinement and
uuuatural food, such as would be an
.exclusive diet of corn meal. It is not
necessary, iu order to give them a lit
tle exercise and sunlight, to range
over an extensive area; let them out
in an ordinary sized yard, aud they
frill uot do traveling sufficient to waste
any great amount of energy.—[Farm,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Ducks are hardy, free from vermin,
and are liable to few disoases.
Chicks do not require food until
they are twenty-four hours old.
Arrange tiie drinking vessels so that
the young fowls will not get their feot
wet.
Contentment, rest and plenty of
proper food are the best aids iu fatten
ing fowls.
if fed and kept comfortablo, duck
lings will be ready for market when
eight weeks old.
It will be fouud a good plan to
empty the water vessels for poultry
regularly at night.
Scaly leg is contagious, and a single
fowl affected with it will soon affect
every fowl in tiie yard.
Occasionally giving milk with
powdered charcoal in it will help to
whiten the flesh of fowls.
On the farm good management,
good facilities and good markets are of
more importance than the breed of
fowls kopt.
I The chicks of all breeds are nearly
| of the sarno size until they weigh a
pound, so that for broilors breed
counts but little.
Giving a little bone meal iu their
food is one of tiie best remedies for
leg weakness, it is not necessarily a
dangerous disease.
Giving too much stimulating food
oficn causes over egg production, aud
the consequence is that they will bo
inferior hatchers, weak chicks and
inferior stock.

Restaurants at the World’s Fair,
There never were so many restaur

others by Germans, others by China
men, and Japanese, and Italians.
Some very queer and pretty buildings
are restaurants such as they have in
Ceylon, Japan, China, Algiors, Moroc
co, Switzerland, Holland, Paris, India,
and Turkey. You will see people eat
with sticks, with their fingers, and
with knives and no forks. But the
drinking will be even more wonder
ful. Littered everywhere out-of-
doors are pretty little stands an&
booths and cagelike houses called
“kiosks.” Hundreds of these are for
the sale of wafer at a cent a glass;
others are tea-drinkers’ resorts, kept
by Oriental people; others are choco
late booths, attended by pretty young
girls; ollicrs aro cofleo stands; at
others you can drink cocoanut milk
from Cuba, or lime juice, or sugar and
water, as the French do. And scattered
among all these often beautiful little
buildings are others, literally by the
hundred, for the sale of chewing gum,
candy, and mounds of sweet flowers.

Curious Statistics of the Blind,
The people of Russia are more terribly

than any other race, sect or nation on the
Lice of the globe, the proportion being
21 to every 10,000 of population. In

of the blind of Europe. These statis
tics show a remarkabte state of affairs,
especially in European Russia, the Cau

The New Bread.
The favor with which tho new bread,
made with Royal Baking Powder instead
of yeast, has been received by our best
housekeepers and most expert bread
makers is really wonderful. Olt saves
all the hard and tedious work of knead
ing and moulding,” writes one. “Less
than an hour from the dry flour to the
most perfoct loaf of bread I ever saw,”
writes another. “Fresh bread every
day,” says another, ‘ ‘and that tho lightest,
finest and most wholesome, is something
to live for.” “We relish the bread bet
ter than the old kind;” “it is ahead of
any yeast bread I ever baked;” “the
bread was whiter and softer.” “Best of
all,” writes an enthusiastic housewife,
“we can cat the Royal uufemented bread
when freshly baked, or even when warm,
with perfect impunity. It is actually an
anti-dyspeptic.”
“This bread has a ‘nutty’ taste, that
is peculiarly pleasing,” writes still an
other. This is owing to the fact that
the active gas-producing principle of
the Royal is- derived from the pure
grape acid.
The great value of this bread arises
from the fact that in it,are preserved all
the most nutritive elements of the flour,
some of which are decomposed and
destroyed byjthe action of yeast. The loss
of these properties is what makes fresh
yeast bread unwholesome. The use of the
Royal Baking Powder instead of yeast
is found to make a finer, lighter bread,
devoid of all dyspeptic qualities. The
same gas—carbonic—is produced as
where yeast is used, but it is evolved
from the baking powder itself and not
from the flour. Thereby tho bread is
made more wholesome and actually anti
dyspeptic. The greater convenience,
where a batch of the finest bread can be
made and baked in less than an hour
with no danger of a sour or heavy
loaf, must be appreciated by everyone.
The receipt for making this bread is
herewith given, and housekeepers will
do well to cut it out and preserve it:
To make one loaf—One quart Hour,
one teaspoonful salt, half a teaspoonful
sugar, two heaping teaspoonfuls Roval
Baking Powder, half medium-sized cold
boiled potato, and water. Sift together
thoroughly flour, salt, sugar and baking
powder; rub in the potato; add sufficient
water to mix smoothly and rapidly into
a stiff batter, about a9 soft as for pound
cake; about a pint of water to a quart
of flour will be required—more or less
according to the brand and qutlity of
the flour used. Do not make a stiff
dough, like yeast bread. Pour the bat
ter into a greased pan, 4^x8 inches, and
four inches deep, filling about half full.
The loaf will rise to fill the pan when
baked. Bake in very hot oven forty-five
minutes, placing paper over first fifteen
minutes baking, to prevent $ rusting too
soon on top. Bake at once. Don't mix
with milk.
Perfect success requires the most care
ful observance of all these details, and
the author of the receipt emphasizes
the statement that Royal Baking Powder
only can be used because it is the only
powder in which the ingredients are
prepared so as to give that continuous
action necessary to raise the larger bread
loaf.
To every reader who will write the
result of her bread making from this
receipt to the Royal Baking Powder
Co., 106 Wall street, New York, that
company announce that they will send
in return, free, a copy of a most prac
tical and useful cook book, containing
one thousand receipts for all kinds of
baking, cooking, etc. Mention this
paper. _

“German
Syrup”
t must say a word as to the ef
ficacy of German Syrup. I have/
used it in my family for Bronchitis, 1
the result of Colds, with most ex
cellent success. I have taken it my-/
self for Throat Troubles, and have/
derived good results therefrom. I
therefore recommend it to my neigh-'
bors as an excellent remedy in such 1
cases. James T. Burette, Earlys-
ville, Va. Beware of dealers who
offer you ‘ ‘something just as good. ’ ’
Always insist on having Boschee’s
German Syrup. 0
Two Stepping Stones
to consumption are ailments we
often deem trivial—a cold and
a cough. Consumption thus ac
quired is rightly termed “ Con
sumption from neglect.”
Scott’s Emulsion
not only stops a cold but it is re
markably successful where the
cough has become deep seated.
Scott's Emulsion is the
richest of fat-foods yet
the easiest fat-food to
take. It arrests waste
and builds up healthy
flesh.
