PRESIDENTIALL RANGE FROM BRETTON WOODS.
Last summer an enterprising Bos
ton man, like the three Phlladelphl-'
ans who lately started on a 10,000-
mile tramping trip to South America, I
decided that he would do sometmng;
original in the line of pedestr!anlsm.i
Like thousands of other well-bal
anced vacationists, the gentleman in
question selected the White Mouns
tains as his objective point, and
reached them over a route which, he
claims, was never traversed through- '
out its entire length by any other hu- !
man being, ,
Going from the modern Athens by

he took the steamer, “Mt. Washing
ton" (scores of readers of this paper
will recall with pleasure a similar
experience), across the lake to Cen
tre Harbor.
Next day he tramped through
Moultonboro and Tamworth (the
“Grover Cleveland country”), to
Wonalancet, annexing at that place
a local guide, who safely piloted him
«over Mt. Wonalancet and Mt, Paugus,
‘two of the lesser hills of the White
“Mountains, to picturesque Passacona
‘way village, where he changed to a
second gulde. &
{4 J?o nev:‘pjath!lndog,*n experienced
hunter, led his ambitious employer
over the mountains and through
dense woods' that have been wholly
innocent of roadway or trail since
they were created, eventually strik
ing in at Livermore, whence they
reached the summit of Mt. Washing
ton by way of the Crawford Notch
and the southern peaks.
Much of the way lay through
woodland solitudes where the eye of
man had seldom, if ever, penetrated,
and the chief member of the expedi
tion says of it that it was “A walk
full of surprising interest as well as
interesting surprises.”
This was in July, when the moun
tains were In their full glory of foli
age, sunshine and birds and anlmali
life.
A few months previous, in Febru
ary, two other New England lovers of
outdoors enjoyed a pedestrian trip of
100 miles or more through the White
Mountains, traveling most of the way
on skis and making the ascent of Mt.
Washington in this way under condi
tions that were nothing less than per
flous.
Three or four feet of snow almost‘
everywhere covered the trails and
roadways, and the Alpine character
of the journey was enhanced by at
least one avalanche.
Such are the contrasts one gets in
New Hampshire's White Mountains;
and yet Amerlcan travelers rave over
the Alps and the Himalayas as if
there was no such thing as roall
mountains in their own country at all.

PRESIDENTIAL RANGE FROM WHITEFIELD.
To these two eramples of White
Mountain tramping trips, some of
them within the writer's own experi
ence, an indefinite number of others,
might be added. In these common
sense days of outdoor enjoyment and
Appalachian Mountain clubs, the
wonderful region embraced in the
White and Franconia mountains,
away up in the northern corner of
Winston Churchill’s favorite State, is
fairly gridironed with trails, path
ways and carriage roads, most of
them leading to a scenic surprise.
There is cne summer city in the
lWhite Mountains whose population
expands to nearly 10,600 during the
!height of the vacation season; and
there are days when as many as 500
itouris(s ascend to the summit of
stately Mt. Washington, 6300 feet
‘above the sea, on the famous Cog
‘railway, to be torn by that awful
mental conflict that always must be
fought by the man or woman who
has to decide whether it shall be din
ner indoors or scenery outdoors. And
what an appetite that mountain air
does give one!
Once, during an ocean voyage, I
elected to forego my dinner in order
to enjoy an unusually fine sunset. As
the barometer falls with the ap
proaching storm, so did I fall in the
estimation of my traveling compan
lons as the result of that little bit
of self-sacrifice. If I had but a half
hour on the summit of Mt. Washing
ton, and it was a question of dinner
or view, I weuld decide in the self
same way, however,
In passing, let me say that the
prospect from Mt. Washington’s alti
tudinous crown is one that cannot
casily be deseribed in too extrava
gant language. In a way, it is even
more wonderful than the cycloramic
outlook from the top of Pike's Peak,
which stands twice as high in the
world as does “Old Agiochook.”
The normal radius of observation
extends for about 100 miles, taking

Forty or fifty years ago the so-
Journer on the summit would look

From a single gas engine, connect
ed with an electrical apparatus, it is |
possible to obtain artificial light, car

In these experiments, says The
World To-day, it has been found to
be a very important one to have the
electric arc continuously on the move.
This is arranged by affixing the lamp
to a small motor which runs up and
down the house on rails.
A moment’s thought will show the
purpose of this device. Owing to the
apparent movements of the sun the
rays from the solar orb are never sta
tionary for a single minute on any
part of vegetation.
Another special feature is the
placing of a water screen so that the
electric rays passing through this
medium are robbed of most of their
heat. Very much the same process
goes on in the case of the sun and
our world. The rays of light as they
reach us have been toned down from
much of their fierceness because they
have passed through that which is
practically a water screen, composed
of countless myriads of moisture par
ticles which go to make up our ats
mosphere.
Napoleon's Decline,
It seems to be agreed that the Na
poleon of Waterloo was not the Na
poleon of Marengo and Austerlitz.
Declared Carnot: "I do not know him
again. He talks instead of acting,
he the man of rapid decisions; he
asks opinions, he the impervious dic
tator, who seemed insulted by ad
vice; his mind wanders, though he
used to have the power of attending
to everything, when and as he wouid;
he is sleepy, and he used to be able
to sleep and wake at pleasure.” This
last symptom, it is said, was the
most striking; in some of the most
critical and terrible moments of the
Waterloo campaign he was scarcely
able to keep himselt awake. This
condition was probably the effect of
the malady that killed him, six years
later, cancer of the stomach.—New

Sulphur in the Nest.
Put a tablespoonful of sulphur

How to Remove Stumps.
A soft wood stump may be removad
by boring a large hole, say one inch,
in a downward direction to a depth
of sixteen or twenty inches. Fill this
hole with kerosene, and as the oil
penetrates the wood, fill the hole
again. After each filling cork the
hole with a wooden plug. After a
month or two, apply fire to the oil in
the hole, which will entirely con
sume the stump.—Popular Mechan

Plow Up Thin Meadows.
If meadows are thin they had bei
ter be plowed up than left to lie in
hope that they will recover their old
vigor. It is difficult to apply manure
effectively from the top. If the land
is plowed up and given a free appli
cation of manure and then put into
sonle crop that will require cultiva
tion, more progress will be made
than can be made in any cther way.
Many a thin meadow is kept year
after year, hardly paying for the
work put upon it in mowing and
curing the light crop of hay, which
is often very wiry. When a meadow
becomes thin it is a good indication
that it should be put into some other
crop for a few years.
Another Use For Suiphur,
That sulphur has other uses than
that of punishing sinners, whitening
straw hats and purifying sugars and
syrups is manifest, if what the Ris
ing Sun (Ind.) Journal recently stat
ed is true. The report it makes is to
the effect that a farmer had experi
mented with sulphur for the expul
sion of rats and mice, and stated posi
tively that if sulphur be sprinkied on
the barn floor and through the corn
as it is gathered, not a rat nor mouse
will bother it. He said that he had
done this for several years and had
never been bothered by rats nor mice.
He recommends that in stacking hay
or oats a little sulphur be sprinkled
on the ground and on each load, and
gives his word that the rats and mice
will stay away. He states that a
pound of sulphur will be sufficient
to praserve a large bin of corn, and
is good for stock and will not hurt
the corn for bread. Our experience
with sulphur and molasses in our
childhood could verify the accuracy
of the last two conclusions, but that
rats and mice should be so readily
discouraged in their attacks on the
corn crib if suiphur be present is, to
lus. rather a novel idea, and, if' t.rne.
quite a valuable one.—Louisiana
Planter.
Improving the Dairy.
' In a terse and pointed article
touching this matter Hoard's Dairy
man says:
Two things on the dairy farms of
this country seriously need improve
ment. First, the man of the farm;
second, the cows of the farm. A
large proportion of the farmers do
not believe that they need any im
provement. They do not believe that
they have wrong ideas of cow and
farm management. They are satis
fied with themselves and their ways
of doing things. Of course, as long
as they are in that state of mind no
improvement can come to .aem, or
their cows, or their soil, or their
profits.
No man does any bhetter as long
as he thinks he is doing his best. Un
less he knows what better work is
ke will never try to reach it. Un
less he wants to know he never will
know. There is a great host of men
who are keeping cows to-day who do
not know that they are ‘‘way behind
the ‘light house” in their ideas of
cows and dairy farming. The cows
they have, the returns they get from
them, prove that. The tremendous
difference in the profits of one man
over another right in the same neigh
borhood, patrons of the same cream
ery, proves it. ;
Now, how shall these men improve
themselves in their business? How
shall they improve their cows, make
them more profitable, get more profit
out of the business?
First, they must come out from
that cover of wrong notions, wrong
conceits, they have been hiding be
hind. They ought to see ihat some
thing is wrong somewhere. They are
not making the money out of cows
that intelligent men are making.
Then face the question courageonusly
and ask frankly: “Am 1 as intelli
gent on this dairy question as I ought
tc be? Have I not heen dGoing my
work with wrong ideas, wrong judg
ments? Would I have sucn poverty
stricken results as I am getting if I
were as well informed a man in dairy
ing as I cught to be?
Now, right here is the reason why
this great host of dairy farmers do
not improve. They never ask them
selves such questions. The.: pockets
tell a plain story. There is no lying
there. But they will not look that
way. Yet there is where all the
trouble lies. And until dairy far
mers commence asking themselves
those very questions, until they are
willing to admit and see that they
have been following wrong ideas
about themselvesg, their cows and the
conduct of their farms, they can not
RIBDIPNE. ot o Cal g st o g
Care of Horses' Feet, :
Broken and diseased hoofs result
from ignorant shoeing. When the
foot is gone, there is no horse left.
There is an old adage to this effect,
the truth of which is incontrovertible,
Yet no part of a horse's anatomy is
worse used than the feet, and thera
are no more frequent diseases
brought to the notice of the veter
inary surgeon than those of the feet.
This comes of the unwise fashion of
rasping, cutting, burning, tarring and
greasing the hoofs.
Horn is a fibrous substance which
contains twenty-five per cent. of
water. When horn is deprived of
water it becomes dry, hard and with
out elasticity, precisely iike a piece
of dry glue which breaks znd splin
ters into glassy fragments.
The common practices of burning
the sole to procure a fit for the shoe,
or rasping the outer surface to get
a good shape, and of tarring and
greasing the hoof, all tend to drive
the water out of the horn, and not
only to harden and coniract it, but
te make it brittle.
The substance of the frog is horn,
but it is of a softer and more open
texture than the sole and crust of the
hoof. It is, therefore, the more
easily affected by injurious conditions,
and when it is deprived of its water
it shrinks to a greater extent than
the more solid horn.
From this explanation of the char
acter of the horny coveriny of the
feet any reasonable horse owner may
learn how to treat the noofts.
When a shoe is to be fitted, tha
edge or wall shoe should be prepared
by cutting or rasping, not by purning;
iideed, the shoe should be fitted to
the foot, not the foot to the shoe.
Farm Notes.
Every farm should have some live
stock.
It is never wise or profitable to
keep an animal in poor flesh. :
The trained veterinarian should be
encouraged and patronized.
No one who has to labor for a liv
ing should slight small industries.
There is a certain satisfaction in
taking a vearly inventory of the
farm., It is the best way to find the
‘‘leaks,” too.
Keep the land as rich as possible.
Angleworms work more in -ich land
than in poor land, and they constant
ly improve the scil.

The Most Delicious Eggs.
Many a Chinaman in New York
would like to have those addled eggs
of Andrew Carnegie’s Minorca hens.
By a son of Confucius ncthing is
‘more prized than an addled egg. We
Americans use the term with great
‘license, as if it meant the same as
rotten egg. Far from it. An egg
‘addled is merely in the earliest stage
of decomposition. The French epi
cure hangs his meats, poultry, game,
fish, etc., until they are almost “in
sincere.” All offensive odors disap
pear in the cooking. A rotten egg is
cne of the foul things of earth; but
‘a stale egg, properly prepared, beats
all the “strictly freshes” ever brought
to a table.
i I want to claim this invention and
should like to have it patened, trade
‘marked and copyrighted. Finding it
impossible to eat and enjoy a soft
‘boiled egg nowadays on account of
‘the toughness and preponderance of
the white, I instructed my chef to
give each egg a thorough shaking be
fore cooking. The idea was-to-mix
perfectly in the shell the white and
yellow., It was exquisitely success
ful. You could never imagine any
thing better. A few days ago I
bought a milkshake machine, such as
may be seen in all public resorts in
summer. Instead of milk in the
glass, I filleq the Ilatter with cot
‘ton and put in the egg. A few turns
of the crank and—as Delmore says—
there you are!—New York Press.
WIFE WON.
Husband Finally Convinced.
Some men are wise enough to try
new foods and beverages and then
generous enough to give others the
benefit of their experience. :
A very “conservative” Ills. man,
however, let his good wife find out
for herself what a blessing Postum is
to those who are distressed in many
ways, by drinking coffee. The wife
writes:
“No slave In chains, it seemed to
me, was more helpless than I, a coffee
captive, Yet there were innumerable
warnings—waking from a troubled
sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at
times dizzy and out of breath, attacks
of palpitation of the heart that fright
ened me.
“Common sense, reason, and my
better judgment told me that coffee
drinking was the trouble. At last my
nervous system was so disarranged
that my physician ordered ‘no more
coffee.’
“He knew he was right and he
knew I knew it, too. [ capitulated.
Prior to this our family had tried
Postum but disliked it, because, as
we learned later, it was not made
right.
“Determined this time to give
Postum a fair trial, I prepared it ac
cording to directions on the pkg.—
that is, boiled it 15 minutes after
boillng commenced, obtaining a dark
brown lquid with a rich, snappy
flavour similar to coffee. When
