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.—

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

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

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

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

plan; he that window a fly always walks
upward, In made a screen di¬

over the lower, with an inch space be¬

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.

On the mend
—the consumptive judgment aiid who’s not be¬
reft of gpod sense.
He’s taking Dr. Pierce’s Goldett
Medical Discovery. If taken iri
time and given a fair trial, it will
effect a cure. Consumption is
Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its
tnyriad and forms, Lung and diseases, for all the Litety “ Dis¬
Blood
covery ” is an unequalled remedy.
It’s doesn’t tne only benefit guaranteed one. If
it or cure, you get
your money back. You only pay
for Discovery the good you ” get. Weak
Lungs, “ and strengthens Spitting of Blood,
cures
Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and fooled kindred affec¬
tions. Don’t be into taking
something else, said to he “ just as
good,” that the dealer may make a
larger profit. There’s nothing at
nil like the “Discovery.” It con¬
tains no alcohol to inebriate; no
syrup or sugar to derange di¬
gestion, As peculiar in its cura¬
tive effects as in its composition.
Equally good for adults or children.
