A LOOKOUT BRIDGE. How Big Ocean Steamers Guard Against Danger. Two Watchful Pairs of Eyes Or. an Elevated Station. “Two bells!” exclaimed a sailot- iike looking passenger on the ship Majestic as tho metallic strokes rang out sharply from the forward dim¬ ness. “Two bells? How’s that? It must bo do=e on to midnight, and I’vo been listening.for. eight bells, when I was going to, turn in.” “Ho, ho!” laughed his companion, who was none other than the first offi¬ cer of the ship, “that’s a good one on you, and though you’ve been a deep¬ water sailor all your life, you’ll find we can teach you a thing or two yet. Take a squint through these glasses over the starboard bow, and perhaps you’ll see something.” The passenger, who was an old sail¬ ing captain, did as directed, and after gazing intently out over the shadowy waters for a few moments, reported a light in sight, apparently that of a steamer coming toward birr.. “That’s what the two bells meant,” replied the chief mate. “They were struck by the .watch on the lookout bridge, and notified the officer of the deck that something had been sighted off the starboard bow. One bell would have meant that it was on the port side.” Just then eight bells, sounded in an entirely difierent key from that of the lookout bell, announced the hour of midnight. The chief mate bado his friend good-fiight, and turned toward the main bridge, where he would as¬ sume the duties of officer on watch; while his companion sauntered in the direction of his cab'n, reflecting upon the new-fangled methods of naviga- tion as practised aboard the trans¬ atlantic, liners. The Chinese paint watchful eyes on the bows of their junks to guard them against the perils of the deep. On tlie ship of Columbus the lookout was sta¬ tioned nway aft oil the highest point of tlie towering poop, while on most modern vessels he may be found peer- ing ahead from away forward, in what has fcoine to be appropriately designated the “ship’s eyes.” This is well enough for slow-moving sailing vessels, or oven for coastwise steamers, but on tho huge over-ocean liners rushing at railway speed through darkness and fog, a further coign of vantage from which to note and report sudden dangers was demanded, a cro’-nest at the foremast head would be unnecessarily high, ami too fur from tlie deck for ready communica¬ tion ; so a few years ago tho lookout bridge was devised, and is now in general use. It is on the foremast, away forward of the latter, ami in communication with it only by means of its clear- voiced bell. Here, twenty feet above tlie deck, on such a ship as tlie Majos- tic, from the moment of departure to the moment of arrival, at least two pairs of keen, far-sighted eyes scan every inch of the forward horizon. From here any object that is detected —strange sail or sister ship, drifting derelict or glimmering berg—is in- stautly reported to tlie officer stationed on the main bridge, by one sharp stroke of tlie bell that hangs between the watchers if it appears on the port bow, and two if on the starboard. Even to this elevation tlie leaping spray clouds oficn find their way, nnd the stout canvas breastwork bellind which tlie lookout seoks a partial shel¬ ter, must be supplemented by oil skins and sou-wes’.ers. The occupants of this most import¬ ant post arc always men of tested eye¬ sight and hearing as well as of ap. proved reliability, devoted to this es¬ pecial service and assigned to no oilier. When extra precautions are demanded, ■as in times of fog, another lookout is stationed as far forward as possible on deck, and still another on the main bridge; while on entering or leaving a port tlie second officer of tlie ship in¬ variably shares the lookout bridge with its more poruiaucut tenants.— [Harper’s Weekly. Tea Caravans. In Russia, as. in England, tea con¬ stitutes the national beverage, and princes and moujiks (peasants) would consider it a-great hardship to be de¬ prived of tea for any length of time. Most all tea consumed by tho Russians comes from central China, the main emporium being at Han Keou, in the province of Hou-Pe, at the junction of the two rivers, Han-Kiang and Yang- Tse-Kiang. Ilfro lives a small colony of Russian merchants, who buy the tea and send it to Shanghai, from there to Peking, and from Peking by caravans of camels through the desert of Gobi to Kiakhta, the first Russian village. Here the tea is transferred to small vehicles, each drawn by one horse, and great numbers of these arc united to caravans, whicli slowly traverse the rough country from Kiakhta to Tiu- men, the nearest railway station. Sometimes this journey is made iu tlu-ee to four months, while at other times it takes considerable longer, snowstorm* being not infrequent at almost all seasons of the year.—rFrank Leslie. L FOR FARM AND HARDEN. ACTUAL COST OP FEEDING COW'S. A cow may be well fed for fifteen cents a day, and lu some cases for twelve cents. Winter feeding will cost considerably more, counting the market value of the feed—fifteen poun Is of hay and six pounds of meal is ns little as a cow in milk should he fed, and this may be worth twenty- one cents. For winter dairying only the best cows should he kept and but¬ ter of tho best quality only made,other¬ wise the food of tho cows will not he paid for.— [New York Tribune. BENEFIT OF ROLLING THE SOIL. Here is a reason for using the roller. It lias been found that n rolled soil, when the temperature of the air is seventy-five dogrecs, is eighty-four de¬ grees at tlie deptli of one and a half inches, during the warmest part of the (lav, while the temperature of the same soil uurollcd is only eighty de¬ grees. Three inches below the surface the rolled soil is live inches wanner than the uurollcd. After cooling over night the rolled soil is one degree the warmer.—[Now York Witness. - discouragements in keeping poultry. A man starting into business for himself knows there is a great deal of hard labor before him. Naturally lie «n»»y discouragements. Persc- veran e will win, however. There is no royal road to success in keeping poultry. Fowls are liable to become sick, lay soft shelled egs, or not lay at »»• Young chicks may die of gapes or soma oilier ailment; rats, minks mid other rodents may kill them. These are alt common stumbling blocks to success. The farmer cannot expect more than Ivc does when his crops fail, No class of people are so favorably situated for raising poultry us farm¬ ers. With plenty of room and grain, certainly two essential advantages are theirs. l)o not blame the liens for Jack of success. Determine to over¬ come the difficulty, nnd the next ef¬ fort will be a success. Never ask a farmer, of the far too common kind that keep no accounts, whether his liens pay, for lie will tell you lie does not know.—[American Agriculturist, SALT WATER IN THE STABLE. A ino-t excellent preventive of gall is to bathe tlie shoulders each evening with strong salt water, commencing six weeks before active spring work begins, and continuing the bathing during the summer. An Knglish veterinary surgeon, who lias tested the above for ten years, says: “In the stable I keep a small fruit can, iu which 1 throw a small handful of salt and then add the necessary water. This is ttirred until tho salt is dis¬ solved, and the solution is applied to tlie shoulder with a cloth tied around tlie end of u corn-cob. Tlie roughness of (lie cob holds tlie dolh wcl1 in I )laoc - F si "g 'bis avoids £ e "i"g 'he salt water on tlie hands— an agreeable precaution, especially if the skin on your hands is broken. When the horses are at work I wash t.:cir shoulders cienn witli clear water as 800,1 as 'he harness is removed in 'bo evening, and then apply tlie salt water. It cools and eases tho should- ” l s > 8ud the horses like it.— [Chicago Times. CURING CLOVKR. Carelessness or lack of .judgement will cause damage and loss in what wc call good hay weather, as well as when tlie weather is showery. For example: We arc now having intense heat, mer¬ cury ranging high up in the nineties in the shade and 110 degrees or more in the sun, and during this weather 1 have seen, on neighboring farms, clover tut down and left all day with¬ out. stirring, with tlie natural result that it burned until tho leaves would crumble like snuff. To make good clover bay it should be turned when partly dry and put up iu small eoeks to stand till near noon the next day. Then open and air nnd sun two hours (say from 11 till 1 o’clock),then turn, and in half an hour begin putting in tlie barn. Clover will cure in hot weather in one day so as to feel per- fectly dry to the hand, but if put in bulk, the next morning it will be very damp, and if stored in the barn iu this condition it is sure to liecome musty But if it stands in (lie cock and gets damp, and then is spread and sunned till dry, it will keep perfectly. I can cure timothy so as to get it safely in tlie day it is cut, but have never cured ClC . ? Cr 8atlsfac,oril v wi ‘ hol,t °°<*ing - and a second drying.— [New York Tribune. THE CHERRY TREES. Until recently, cherries were the easiest fruits to propagate, but now they are the most difficult iu many sections. This is all due to what they call the “spotting” disease, which bc- gins on the leaves, and extends until the whole tvec is stripped of all foli- :.ge. Tlie shoots around the trees be¬ come weak and spindling, and the life of once lino, hardy trees scents to have been sapped out of them. This dis¬ ease is still restricted to cel'taiu sec¬ tions ; but so far no remedy has been suggosied that proves effective. Even potash around the trees does not appear to stimulate the trees to better growth and production. The ^.aek-knots have made their appeajr upon tlit cherry trees again thlt and threaten to kill hundreds flue trees. This disease has been mostly restricted to the choice va* rletics, but the malady now infecting the dessert cherries is of a much more character. After growing well for a few years the trees begin to die, and no remedy seems to be able save them. Frequently the bark splits, disclos¬ ing tho wood below, and occasionally woody fibre is destroyed. The foliage is only half developed, turns yellow and falls off. One twig after another turns black until the tree be¬ comes useless. The proper treatment for this is still unknown, but washing spraying with a solution of pot¬ and lime frequently lessens the of damage.— [New York Voice. FARM AND DARDEN NOTES. Needed—more tillage on less acres. Give tiic fowls plenty of range now. Don’t forget tho benefit of tnulch- ing. A weak harness often causes acci¬ dents. Better thin the fruit tliau prop tho tree. Look well to the pullet crop about now. Ilogs require a large amount of drink. Uso plaster freely in the horse- stable. Good pastures increase milk and butter. Using au inferior sire is breeding downward. The shortest road to long prices is to have the best articles to sell. Do to your animals as you would bo done by if you were an animal. An acre of clover is estimated to make about 600 pounds of pork. The more seeds in the apple tho greater the draft on the vitality of tho tree to mature them. In trimming cut off all the limbs that cross each other. Leave only what grow upward and outward. Put coarse manure where you want a mulch and fine where you want it to speedily mingle with and enrich the soil. If perspiration stops when you aro working in tlie sun and your head feels bad get into tlie shade and avoid sunstroke. When a limb is grafted keep it clear of ail sprouts of tlie parent stock, which absorb vitality that ought to go to the graft. Books That Are Never Written. “Tlie number of copyright entries,” Mr. Spofford, the Congressional Libra- riaii, said, “docs not represent * books published, for among tlie entries are copyright for music, pictures, etc. Besides many books which have been copyrighted have never come into ex- istence. Many rejected maim scripts are preserved in copyright entry'. ........ ■" *» »»• 'Of book* which the ambitious author never is able to write. A man is struck with a brilliant idea. He gets a great novel, drama . wonderful a great or somo work of a serious character in his head. “He has something that is going to inake a sensation in the world, and is much excited over tho idea, lie gets up tho title of his book or play, pre¬ pares tho title page, beforo lie lias written the flrst line of ids work, and then for fear that some one else shall strike upon tho same line of thought ahead of him he gets out his copyright. But when lie attempts to write tho book tlie tiling hitches somehow and lie never quite gets a start. I have no doubt that men have spent the best part of their lives trying to w ile a book to correspond to a copyright al ¬ ready secured. ‘‘The great ideas won’t take shape on paper, and tlie man who becomes an author before lie has written anything meets 11-1111 disappointment and mis¬ ery. It would astonish you to know how many copyrights represent noth¬ ing—not a scratch on paper. Many plays arc copyrighted which never see the light of day or appear behind tlie footlights. Some of them have been written and rejected; some have never been written nt all.”—[Washington Star. Pictures on Government Bonds.

In 1865 Dr. Polak, a German, after several years of careful study auu investigation the wealth Of in that the Country, stated coal, iron, that Country in and Copper Was unbounded, and that hardl y any portion of the earth coU111 vie with Persia in have miheral richness. Many rich mines been discovered since he Wrote twenty five ybars ago. Dr. Polak says: ‘ ‘The unbounded wealth of the country fn cdal, iron, and Copper ili older deposits only awaits mighty exploration industry to set bn foot a for Which the industrious character and aptitude of the laboring Class fteeni ttt of¬ fer every inducement. Scarcely any CoUtUly of the earth cun vie with Persia fts Nearly to riches in district metals, has especially its cdpjiet cbppch tinile; every Eiburi, neat on the northern elope of the Tebeif.n, twenty such can be counted, find as many mhre in the environs of Kazvin. Lead is mined to such an extent that the supplied, demand for it in also the country IS amply a lid a surplus left for export. The greater portion of the lead ore is found near Kerman. * * Cbal, which generally lies expose 1 in vast Seams, is not, roads up to now, mined, owing to want of and the absence of de¬ mand for industrial purposes. The seam upon the northern slope of the Elburz, near Teheran, village appears already below Kaz¬ vin at the of If, then shows itself in the Lnar Valley, especially in a hollow of tho latter called Divnsia, and lastly makes itself visible near the small town of Ash, on the river Ileras. Altogether the coal fo-mation is very abundantly represented.” Banishing Flies. Flies will not pas* through a net made of thread, fine silk or wire stretched across an open inch window, even though the meshei are an apart, unless there is a window or light behind it, This af¬ fords a ready means of excluding which these have insects from all our rootiis windows ing on one side only If, without keep¬ there the latter closed. "however, are windows on more than one side of the rooms, flies can only be kept The out best by Using fine gauze for the purpose. way to destroy flies in a room is to expose on a Quassia shallow chips plate (small)j the following mixture: one-quarter ounce j and Water, otie pint; boil teh minutes; strain; Flies add of treacle four ounces. will drink this with avidity, and ate soon destroyed by it. Cold preen tea, very strong, and sweetened with sugar, whi n set about the room in saucers; Will also attract flies and destroy them. An in¬ genious Observing person has devised the following plan; he that window a fly always walks upward, In made a screen di¬ vided half. The upper half lapped over the lower, with an inch space be¬ tween. As soon as a fly alighted on the screen thus walked it proceeded straight to walk upward, and out of doors, Not being able to walk down it had no way to return to the room. By this means a room can be quickly cleared of flies, which always seek the light.
