THE PUEBLOS;
Picturesque and Remarkable In¬
dians of New Mexico.
They Live in Terraced Houses
and Were Once Powerful.
Tho most unique picture* in New
Mflxlc0 ftro to bo found among it,
utiiquo pueblos. Their quaint ter¬
raced architectse is the most re-
niarknblo on the continent; and there
is none move picturesque in the world.
It remains intact only in tlie remoter
pueblos—those along the Rio Grando
have boon largely Mexicumzed into
one-storied tameucss. Laguna, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, lias some
thrcc-story terraced houses stilt.
Acomfl, on its dizzy island-cliff, twenty
miles southwest, is all three-storied;
and Taos, in its lovely, lonely valley
far to the north, is two great pyr cinid-
tencments of six-stories.
And (lie Pueblos— (hey aro pic¬
turesque anywhere and always, but
particularly in their dances, races and
oilier ceremonials. These aro Indians
who arc neither poor nor naked; In¬
dians who feed themselves and ask no
favors of Washington; Indians who
have been nt peace for two centurios |
and fixed residents for perhaps a mil.
lcnium; Indian* who were fanners
and irrigators and six-storv-houso
builders before a New World had been
beaten through tlie thick skull of tlie
Old; Indians who do not make pack-
beasts of their squaws—and who have
not “squaws,” save in the vocabulary
of less-bred barbarians. They had
nearly a hundred republics in America,
centuries before tho American Re¬
public was conceived; and they
have maintained their ancient
democracy through all the ages,
nnshamed by tlie corruption of a
voter, the blot of a defalcation or mal¬
feasance in office. They are entitled,
under tho solemn pledge of our gov¬
ernment in the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, to every privilege of citizen¬
ship, but have received few, if any.
Their numerous sacred dances are by
far the most picturesque sights in
America, and the least viewed by
Americans, who never found any¬
thing more striking abroad. The
mythology of Greece and Rome is less
than theirs in complicated compre¬
hensiveness, and they are a more in¬
teresting ethnologic study than the
tribes of inner Africa, and less known
of by their white countrymen.—

Curiosities of Currency.
Almost every age and tribe, as well
s every epoch, has had its peculiar
currency or medium of barter and
exchange. Not only gold, silver, cop¬
per, brass, iron, lead and paper, but
such out-of-the-way articles as bits of
glass, shells, beads, stones,
soap, bits of various-colored cloth and
numerous other objects, some of them
absolutely valueless to our way of
looking at the matter. The Burmese,
Krens, Ilangeso and Ghana have no
coined money, lead and silver in bul¬
lion being the ordinary tender in
trade, weigiit and purity being the
standard of value. For a long time
salt was tho ordinary money of the
Abyssinians. Dried fish has long been,
and is even today to a certain extent,
tho legal tender of Iceland. Shad
scale* are also the medium of exchange
in many of the North Sea Islands.
Tho Carthagcnians were the first to
introduce a stamped leather currency.
Leather coins with a silver nail driven
through tho centre wero issued in
Franco by King John tlie Good in
1306.
In tlie interior towns of Northern
China slips of the bark of the mul¬
berry tree bearing tlie imperial “chop”
and a stamp which denotes their
worth, have long boon used as we
use bank notes. Marco Polo found
this kind of money t here in his time,
and they still have an extensive local
circulation.
in somo of tho small villages of
Scotland laborers formerly carried
nails in their pockets with which to
pay for the day’s supply of bread and
ale, just as tiro nativo Australian di¬
vests himself of a string of beads for
tlie purchase of some coveted luxury.
A Scotch missionary to a group of
small islands in tlie South Pacific
found bits of rod flannel circulating
as money. Titis currency canto to
them in a curious manner. Tho body
of ii shipwrecked sailor had drifted
ashore, and lo the untutored savages,
who had novel* before seen clothing
of any kind, this red flannel shirt was
an object of wonder and admiration.
By common consent they cut the gar-
ment into small pieces, which thence-
forth became the currency of the
land.-[St. Louis Republican.
Courious Orange Tree.
H. H. McClure lias produced a ca¬
riosity in the shape of an orango tree,
which iu all probability is not
ed by anything of its kind iu this
any other country. Mr. McClure
it his “World's Fair Tree,” and in¬
tends, if possible, to place it on
bition at Chicago. This tree is
with no less than thirty-one
varieties of citrus fruits, including
lemons, shaddocks and most of
fino varieties of oranges. The

rOR FARM AND GARDEN.
INSECTS IN OBAIN BINS.
There are two very distinct kinds of
insects that infest stored grains in tho
South. One is a weevil and the other
a small moth. Kiln drying tlie grain
will destroy both kinds, but as Ibis is
rattier an expensive operation it is
seldom practised. If you store your
grain in bins try lining tho bins with
tar paper and throw in a few shoots of
the same as tlie grain Is put in the
bins. The fumes of tar will usually
repel such insects, although they do
not kill them.—[New York Sun.
HOW THE F.NGLISH FEED HORSES.
English agriculture is older than
our own, and we may naturully look
to it for some good lessons. In some
matters, tho feeding of live stock, for
instance, wc must admit they aro
ahead of us. Hero we give ordinarily
one sort of feed all tho year round to
all classes. There they feed oats for
•peed and courage, corn for ordinary
work, and old beans and linseed meal
for extra work. Hunting horses,
which must have good wind and great
endurance, are fed no hay that is less
than three years old.—[Now York Ob-
server.
THE CHANGE IN MII.K.
As soon as the milk is drawn from
tlie cow’s udder a change begins to
take place, which is hastened by tlie
surroundings and conditions, inva¬
riably absorbing odors in tho atmos¬
phere surrounding it. Tlie food and
water consumed by a cow affects both
the blond and the milk. Milk being
secreted from the blood, proper food
and water must be given the cow, as
the flavors of impuro water and bad
food will be imparted to the milk, aud
will materially affect its keeping
qualities and injure the quality of but¬
ter and cheese made from it. Should
you give a cow food which will cause
early and excessive fermentation in
her stomach, it will endanger the
keeping qualities of the milk or but¬
ter product. All milk contains a cer¬
tain percentage of sugar, it being the
first to change, becoming sour. It is
known as lactic acid and is valueless
as food. When sweet it is carbon¬
aceous and valuable as a food.—
[American Dairyman.
PARASITIC ENEMIES OF PLANTS.
In the past there has been a ten¬
dency to belittle (he scientific work of
the Department of Agriculture, espe¬
cially in its bearing upon practical
farming and fruit growing. It is
often claimed that much of the money
expended by this branch of the gov¬
ernment does little toward advancing
the cause of tho tiller of tho soil. Let
us then look at this matter of investi¬
gating plant diseases from a dollar-
and-cents point of view. The depart¬
ment expends for work of this kind
about $20,000 aunually. It is known,
from careful and reliable data collect¬
ed iu 1890, that about 6000 grape
growers in this country treated their
vines in accordance with the direc¬
tions issued by the department. Of
these only 10 per cent, met
with indifferent success. The
remainder, or about 4600, esti¬
mated tlie increase in their crops as a
result of the treatment ail the way
from 16 to 80 per cent. From a
money point of view this meant for
some as high as $2000, while for
others this amount was as low as $10;
tlie averago, howevor, is about $50.
But let us put it the very lowest fig¬
ure, say half this amount, or $23
profit for each of tho 4500 who used
tho remedies successfully; this will
give us a total profit of $112,500, or
nearly six times the amount expended
by the department in tho entire work.
It must be remembered that this is
only for ono disease. Fully as good a
showing could bo made with others,
such as potato rot, apple and pear
scab, pear, plum and cherry leaf
blight, etc. — [The Chautauquan.
CUBING FODDISH IN THK SILO.
Tho changes which tho fodder un¬
dergoes in a silo is a procos9 of fer¬
mentation, which adds considerably
to tho nutriment that is contained in
it. It is put in damp and in a partly
dried state. This deprives tlie fodder
ofapartof its water, which is not
only unnecessary, but is injurious as
causing too much acidity in it. This
is packed firmly iu tho silo, aud as the
silo is made air-tight, tlie effect of the
air is avoidod, and tho fermentation is
restrained from going further than to
change some of the cellular tissue int 0
starch, and somo of the starch into
sugar. Some part of the fodder is
changed into fatty matters that have
Hie same result in the feeding as fat
itself woqjd. These changes go to in¬
crease tlie digestibility of the feed and
add to its nutriment. The first result
is to produce heat which rises to 140
degrees or even more, and this heat
kills ail the germs of acidity and de¬
structive fermentation, and causos the
change mentioned.
A* the silo is made air-tight, and
the ensilage soon becomes enveloped
in tlie carbonic acid resulting from
fermentation, and wlticit is heavier
than the air. this gas remains in it and
thus assists in preserving the ensilage
from the air. This remains without
further change, and is thus safely pre¬
served. The result of many analyses
has proyed that the ensilage is mope
nutritions than the original fodder,
by reason of the changes mentioned.
Thus it has been found a groat econ¬
omy, and it is possible, under the best
conditions, to feed one animal a full
year on the produce of one acre ol
laud. This is when corn is grown
for the purpose. The corn is planted
in the usual manner as for a grain
crop, and, the cars being ripened, the
ensilage is highly nutritious. — [Now
York Times.
KEEPING WtNTEIt APPLES.
In keeping winter apples, writes an
Ohio farmer, they are sometimes put
in bins under the trees as fast as they
arc picked and covered with loose
boards until cold weather, whon they
aro sorted and barrelled and stored
where they will not freeze. This is
better titan spreading them out on the
floor of a barn or putting them in
piles or bins in any building during
tho changing temperature of fail
weather, for I have never found ex¬
posing apples to the air a good way of
preserving them. Taking ono year
with another 1 bolieve the best method
is to barrel apples as fast as they are
gathered from tho trees and they
should be tightly pressed into the bar¬
rels by the use of a screw. For some
reason I have nevor seen explained,
they seem to keep better when tightly
pressed that when laid in loosely.
After they are barrelled it is import¬
ant to keep them cool aud where they
have good ventilatiou. I would pre¬
fer a damp cellar to a very
dry one, but a thick walled
room, above ground where they won’t
freeze in the barrels, and where all
the ventilation wanted can be had at
will, is better than either. I once
bought a lot of apples in the latter
part of November, where each barrel
lay flat on tho ground, just where it
was tilled. There they lay, scattered
around with no protectiou from the
rain or sun, except tho little they
might have from the shade of the
trees, aud they required no sorting to
make tiem merchantable. There was
scarcely a rotten apple to be found in
all that were opened. In this case the
farmer claimed that the coolness and
dampness of the ground more than
compensated for the disadvantages to
tho hoops of the weather-beaten bar¬
rels. I don’t know that I would
recommend this plan for general use,
although I believe that apples may
keep in this way bettor than when the
barrels are ricked up under the trees
three or four barrels high.—[Now

The Innate Pugnacity of -Wan.
Wu aro told in Scripture that if t>
man invites its to go a iniie with him
we are to go with him twain. Why?
Not for fear of him, certainly; but
perhaps beenuso that is the wisest
way in the long run. If we run
against a post we don’t beat it, how¬
ever much it may have hurt us; but
if a man runs up against us it make*
us angry. The principle of resistance
comes forcibly into our miuds. The
impact of man against post is merely
a caso of matter opposed to matter;
but when it is man against man the
opposition is of spirit to spirit. Chil¬
dren will kick tlie post that they have
run against. Savages find mailer for
blows in incidents which civilized
people pass easily over, Refined
people of good sense and good man¬
ners dodge with a bow and smile
possibilities of difference iu which
their neighbors of a less perfect
philosophy find occasion for squab¬
bling. Tho tendency of progress is
all in the direction of peace. Perhaps,
after all, that remorse that follows
unimproved chances of self-assertion
is merely ono of the throes of a
savage instinct that dies hard.-—

Disappearing from the Earth.
Tho sealing question iu its various
phases continues to be a prominent
topic in the columns of the press. It
is a question of international impor¬
tance, and even danger, as regards the
sealing vessols of one nation follow¬
ing their quest in the proprietory
waters of another nation in violation
of international compacts. This side
of the question will not, it is to be
hoped, go any further than its present
limits of acrimonious correspondence
between the state departments of the
United States aud Canada.
Each nation owning sealing grounds
finds it to its interest to put forth
every possiblo effort for the preven¬
tion of killing young seals and of fish¬
ing during tho breeding season. Al¬
ready, it is claimed, the seals of Beh¬

circumvented, tho seal will eventually
be, as the buffalo and the beaver have

The Glow Worm Caves of Tasmania;
At the meeting of the lloyal Society
of Tasmania an account of some fino
caves that have been discovered near
Southport, Tasmania, was given by
Mr. Morton, who had visited them.
They aro situated about four miles
from Ida Bay, and a fairly good road
leads to them. The entrance is through
a limestone formation. A strong
stream flows along tho floor of the
chambers. The first chamber reached
by Mr. Morton and those who accom¬
panied ldm showed some fino stalac¬
tites, and along the floor some fine
stalagmites wero seen. On the lights
carried by the party being extin¬
guished, the ceiling and 6ides of the
caves seemed studded with diamonds,
an effect due to millions of glow worms
hanging to the sides of tho walls and
from tlie ceilings. Further on, several
chainbers were explored, each reveal,
iug grander sights.
The time at disposal being limited,
the party had to return after travel’s-
iug a distance of about three quarters
of a mile, but from what was ob¬
served tho caves evidently extended a
distance of three or four miles. The
only living c eatures seen wero the
alow worms. These caves, under
proper supervision, should become,
Mr. Morton thinks, ono of the great
attractions of the south of Tasmania.

DONALD KENNEDY,
Of Roxbury,Mass.,Says:
Strange cases cured by my Medical Discovery
come to me every day. Here is one of Paralysis- Medi«
Blindness—and the Grip. Now how does my
cal Discovery cure all these? I don’t know, un¬
less it takes hold of the Hidden Poison that makes
all Humor.
Virginia City, Nevada, Sept. 9th , 1891.
Donald Kennedy—Dear Sir: I will state my case
to you: About nine years ago I was paralyzed in
my left side, aud the best doctors gave me no relief
for two years, aud I was advised to try your Dis¬
covery, which did its duty, and in a few months \
was restored to health. About four years ago I be¬
came blind in my left eye by a spotted cataract.
Last March I was taken with La Grippe, and was
confined to my bed for three months. At the end of
that time, as in the start, then it struck me that your
Discovery was the thing for me; so I got a bottle,
aud before it was half gone I was able to go to my
work in the mines. Now in regard to my eyes, right as I lost
my left eye, and about six months ago my eye
became affected with black spots over the sight as
did the left eye—perhaps sonv* twenty of them—but
since I have been using your Discovery they all
left my right eye but oue; aud, thank God, the bright
light of heaven is once more making its appearance
in my left eye. I am wonderfully astonished at it,
and thank God and your Medical Discovery.
Yours truly, Hank White.

Other medicines claim to cure?
That’s true. But they don’t claim

mended, the money paid for it is

Judge the for better yourself which is likely
