Artesian Wells Have Helped Algeria.
Artesian wells have wrought won

Since 1856 in the provinces of Al
gim, Oran and Constantine over
lff.UGO wells have been bored, one
tenth of them at government ex
pense. These wells range from r:>
to 400 feet in depth, and the low
pressure common to the majority of
them forces the water over the
small board casing to a distance of
only about two feet above the
ground.
The water is collected in small res
ervoirs, from which it is conveyed to
vineyards, date plantations and fields

or form of the sand employed has
been the subject of investigation by
M. Feret, a Frenah expert, who pre¬
pared artificial sands out of crushed
quartzite, with a view to determine
its strength as compared with sand
of natural formation. The sand as
received from the crusher was grad
ed into three degrees of fineness.
The first consisted of such grains as
timeter; the second consisted ot
fframs passing through a sieve of
thirty-six meshes to the square een
timeter and retained m one of a
much finer mesh, while the third con

Among the most wonderful dis¬

of various vegetable products pos¬

tive character. 11 te digestive prop
erty of the pa paw has long been
known and utilized. More recently
h has been ascertained that the juice
bf the pineapple contains a very iui
i*,rtant digestive prcqe.rty. which is
capable of digesting albumen and al
lied substances, not only in acid, but
in nutritive alkali media,
gives to it the combined properties
of the gastric juice and the jiarn-re
atic juice. This excellent fruit may
Ik; found a valuable aid te digestion.
The coarse pulp is wholly indigesti

swallowed. It should be taken only
at mealtime.—Good Health.

Whittier*. Necktie.
The poet Whittier, strange us such
a defect appears in one who made
such ® ffectivo 1180 <* f °° lar * u his
I Kjetr y* was color blind. , He was
ttU ® to dt!SCribo with as much nc
0,rac >’ as heauty the tints of the
evening sky ut sunset, the hues of
flood nud forest upon the side of a
mountain, or the changing twilight purple,
blue and violet of the sea.
His peculiarity of vision betrayed
him into an error, although an error
not discoverable by lus readers.
Tlio Quaker poet shared in all re
selects the quiet tastes of the sect
into which he was bom, and shared
them no less by temperament than by
breeding, being naturally one of tlio
simplest, sedatest, most retiring and
least showy of men.
His friends were therefore natu
rally astonished when ho made his
«p}>eurauco one day with his usually
somber garb enlivened by a flowing
ntvktio of a flaming scarlet hue.
They wondered for a time in silence?
then a very old friend ventured to
inquire:
“Tliee's never worn a necktie like
that before, Greenleuf; does thee
think it is becomingt"
A little surprised, Mr. Whittier _ ap
pealed to tlio company for tlieir ver
diet, when, the color of tlio offending
decoration being mentioned, he ex
pressed both amusement anil dis
may and volunteered a promise to
discard it at once and foroVer, He
had purchased it, he assured them,
under tlio impression that it was of
a dull and decorous green!
As into any other eases of persons
similarly afflicted, Mr. Whittier a
color blindness was onlv partial, anil
was limited to an inability to distill
guish green red.—Youth’s from its Companion. Complimentary

v.i«8 without Shoo.,
For two years I have been using
an old mare* 1/ years old, without
shoes. She bad always been shod
before. And for the last ten months
I have used a '’-year old horse of
rather heavy build without shoes.
My brougham is ten and a half hun
dredweight, and they druw it singly
m, tunis. I had them shod
limes with 'Lllurher shoes. Each
timo the Shoe wm made shorter, and
I allowed the shoes to ho worn until
they were thinpor than a sixpence.
A t the end of that, umo tile middle
of the lmof had grown We! w ho
wall. Then ilie au.uiul wont u u i

Pbei-o was u LtUe hunenei oBcim :
twice, Which pas «vT off with ft dn.v ■
rest each time, i mv the ma\) about
once a month to remove the jagged
edges of the hoofs and to keep tho
hoofs in Shape. The wall of tho
hoofs becomes more than mi inch in
thickness and wonderfully Imril, and
not brittle as might have lieon
thought, though 1 uso no means to
keep them soft.
My horses go quite as well as with
shoes, and are much safer when tlio
sets are greasy and slippery. They
are not as safe on ice as a sharpened
horse, hut much safer than an un
shurperied horse. If a horse is used
unshod before the middle of the hoof
is filled up, the wall breaks away in
largo pieces up to the nail holes, and
ho goes lame and must have rest mi
til what the farrier has cut away
lias been replaced by nature. Noth¬
ing could induce me to go back to
shoes, and any horse is able to do
without shoes if treated as above.—

As might bo expected sujxmti

should ensue.
At a certain school, the yard to

open space divided by a row of three
posts, the girls Ixdieve that whoever
passes between tbe middle post and
one of those next it will fail in her

unthinkingly done so will turn back
and enter a second time, going care¬
fully between an outer ix«t and the

erdemainis'ts, The Fahyahs are the greatest leg
necromancers and hyp
notilts in the known world,
One of their practical feats ia walk
i ng , n the air. The Fahyah who
performs it lays flat down with Lis
face toward the earth for a
or a minute and a half, then arises.
j Hnd forcing his arms deliberately against his
pil i e8 stands very erect,
walks into the air as far as his powei
0 f endurance will permit him. at
times reaching an altitude of from
2;i0 to 400 feet, when ho simply
W ulks down again,
At first j cou id hardly believe my
eyt , 8i and j thought i had indeed
soeu a miracle performed. It took
rue over a year to understand this

covered that it was accomplished by
a thorough knowledge of the elec

-phey thoroughly understand the
p lWH Q f changing their electrified
form from the positive to the nega
t ivo by inhalation, and by that means,
just the same as this universe is held
in place by a congeniality of those
two forces, so they utilize them in
the performance of this feat,
q'o try to make it even clearer 1
wi n g0 j,j t o tlio philosophy of tlio
trick, starting from the first prim
ciples of electrical law, congeniality-,
Two persons are introduced tp e*u:h
othwr . instinctively eae.h party to
tho introduction knows whether thore
is a feeling of perfect congeniality or
not u m cro ia a congeniality that
proves that ono is the positive and
t]l0 ot i ler j„ the negative; if that feel
nig of congeniality is wanting then
they fcoth possess similarly electrified
forms and naturally are ropellant.
Of course after associations may
ofttiraes make two such similarly
electrified forms friends, but ’tie very
rftr< jjy the case. The same law pro

'p bo world is supposed to be 515,000

N()W if tho woria {1ooH > lo l<\ its

geniality, why is it not possible for
the man who possesses tho knowledge
of changing his electrified form from
tho negative—which wo who inhabit
tlie earth all are—to the positive by ft
process of inhalation, which ho does
when he lies upon tho ground, and
then walk into the same space, by
the same laws that hold that tremen¬
dous globe and all the other planets
and stars in their place!
This is the way, and the only way,
by which tho Faliyahs perform this

Tlie stumbling block in pedigree
building is tlio occasional cropping
up of u disreputable ancestor whom
you have a special reason for not re
msinlxsring. Bydney Smith used U>
nay “that several memliers of his
family disappeared about tho.time of
the assizes;” and most people remem¬
ber the story of Alexandre Dumas,
tho elder, who hail a considerable
dash of the tar brush in his veins,
and who was jHjsterod about his
pedigree by some antiquarian Smell
fungus.
“Your father, M. Dumas, said the
bore, “was, I take it, a mulatto."
“Yes, sir.”, “Thus your grandfather
must have been a negro?” Precisely
so.” “And your great grandfather,
cher M. Dumas?" “A monkey, sir,"
thundered tho exasperated Alex¬
andre. “My pedigree ends where
yours begins."—G. A. Hula in Loudon
Times.

In tho year 1766 the late Lord Cli vo
and Mr. Verelst employed the whole
influence of the government to restore
a Hindoo to bis caste who hail for

government. Tbe principal men
among them met at Kishuagur and
once at Calcutta, but after omsulta

most ancient records they dndarwl
