- The Earth's ¥Fertiity, @ s - According to Mr. Kains-Jackson, the i as, of the earth’s fertility, he ~ says, has been reached, und future har *’ ature supplies of food, animal and - vegetable, throughout the coming years _ will be obtainable only at higher costs ~ than at present. He also Ihinks that, as ~ regards soil formation going on around us, the ratio of exhaustion is greater than the ratio of supply. On the other hand, many persons think that the more the world becomes civilized, so it will gain _in fertility, Of the whole area of the globe’s land surface, only 5§ per cent, is capable of tillage, forests, I]est'rts, and mountains taking up the remaind er; but, notwithstanding the vast increase of population, the cul tivated portion appears to Kkeep | pace with requirements, and ample sup gl,las of food fgma.n fl%‘d hepst are still orthcoming. As régards cultivated land, owing to its improved freaiment and thé practice of scientific agriculture it has doubled its produce during the, last cen tury. In 1889, the produce of wheat was one million bushels beyond that of former years, while the area of land was some one hundred thousand acres less. In the same way with oats; although no addi tional land was used, the crop exceeded | the former average by some six million bushels—all owing mainly to an improved system of cuitivation and free use of suit able manures. And so it will be all over the world, until the extreme limit or ‘capability of the soil has been reached. Color of Water- Water—when pure—like the gases oxygen and hydrogen, of which it is composed, has no taste or smell, and, like air, it appears to be colorless when in thin layers, but when looel at in large masses, as 1 the sea and in aeep lakes, it is blue. Pure water, cspecially sea water, for example, is limpid, clear, and transparent. It absorbs all the prismatic colors, except that of ultramarine, which being reflected in every direction, im parts a hue approaching the azure of the sky. The true tint of water when not exposed to atmospheric influence is always uniform, but it changes its color in certain localities from the presence of infusoria, vegetable substances. and min ute particles of matter. Water in its na tural state is said to be never wholly pure. : Drawn from a shallow well, it may look bright and sparkling, and yet be full of deadly poison for the animal and human system, Speaking generally pure water has the bluish hue, yet some has a strong brown or yellowish tint from peat or iron, and yet is free from impurity. The blue tint of water may be discerned in the fol lowing manner: Let down into water a metalic tube (open at the top and closed with a clean glass plate at the bottom) near to a white object twenty feet below the surface. The object when looked at through the tube has a most beautiful blue color. It would have appeared to be yellow if its color was due to the light reflected by extremely small particles of matter suspended in the water. A vERY important new industry is the rolling of cold steel bars into wire. The gennerally accepted idea has always been that cold rolling would destroy the fibre of the steel and render the wire so brittle as to be of no practical value, It is now found, however, that instead of the wire becoming weakened by the process its tensile strength is nearly doubled. In other words, the tensile strength of hot drawn steel wire is 57,460 pounds to the square inch, while that of cold steel wire 8 105,800 pounds. “(300D-MORNING, ”’ said the census man, ¢‘ig it hot enough for you?’ *'l refuse tc answer your fool questions,” said old Mr. Crusty, as he slammed the door.

Bliani o a 2 SR i " HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS., BASIEST WAY TO CLEAN SHOES, 1t is not generally known that the easiest way to clean shoes or rubber overshoes which have become muddy is with vaseline. A lhittle ¢‘swab” of flannel on the end of a. stick is good for this purpose. Even if the vaseline touches the hands, it forms a coating over them 8o that the task is not so unpleasant as it otherwise would be. Such a dressing as this is sufficient for some fine kid shoes, but others may need a coat of polish. If the polish is put on after a coat of vaseline, it is not hable to crack the leather and it lasts much longer. Rubber overshoes, especially, look much better and last much loager if cleaned in this way than if they are washed in water.— New York Tribune. BUYING POTATOES, When the prudent housekeeper has made her choice, she is wise if she orders her potatoes directly from the grower, thereby saving twenty to twenty-five cents per bushel. If possible, crates should be used to store them in; these crates are made to hold ‘a bushel, and they can be taken tothe grocer, who will fill and return them; some tarmers fur. nish them, charging their price extra. The advantage is, that the potatoes are not tumbled about and bruised, aund that they are convenient to handle, while an occasional change of the position of the crate in the cellar gives air on. all sides and retardsthe growth ofsprouts. In the construction of these crates, four posts | one inch square form the foundation, and | to them are nailed strips of lath seventeen | inches in length, forming an interior sixteen inches square.—S¢. Louis Star- Sayings. WASTE MATTER IN FOOD. Besides the volume of water, whole some food-substances contain about the same proportion of so-called waste mat ter, i. c., the uneatable parts, like bone, skin, parings, etc.; the office of these parts is to forward digestion, for food too concentrated would be impossible to digest. The woody fibre of vegetables, the cores and skins of fruit, the bran of cereals, are all waste substances, indis pensable to digestion; food containing a - good proportion of waste is called ‘‘re laxing,” like the various brown breads ‘and fresh fruit; such concentrated foods as white bread, eggs, condensed milk, i dried fish and meat, are ‘‘constipating,” that is, they interfere with the free ac tion of the digestive organs. Another injury to these organs lies in the use of ' much cold food; no substance can be di gested under a temperature of at least blood-heat, and either the heat of fire or of the stomach must supply that tem perature.—XNew York Obseirver. | e remmcn | IIOUSEHOLD HINTS. Piano keys should be cleaned with a sponge or a soft rag dipped in alcohol. ~ Arentin a dress should be darned with ravelings of the matertal. If neat 1y done and properly pressed the darn - will never be noticed. i An ordinary cold should mever be ne ‘ glected. It may wear away, and then again it may lead to bronchitis, pneu ‘ moniz and consumption. Fresh meat should never pe left wrapped up in paper, because paper isa great absorbent,and will soon extract all the juices from the meat. A large palette knife will bg found an invaluable addition to the kitchen uten sils. The blade is so flexible that it can be put to a thousand uses. Cold tea or clear water should be used in washing grained woodwork. To re move finger-marks a little fine soap can be used. Ammonia destroys the varnish. ‘A good perfume for closets and drawers, and one that will help to keep the moths away, is made of one ounce of cedar, rhubarb and cloves, pulverized to gether. Put the powder between cot ton and tie in a bag. Vegetable or fruit sandwiches are re commended as new delicacies for pic nics. The newest dainty sandwich is made of nasturtium leaf, sprinkled with a little salt, and set between two round slices of biscuit and butter. Chemists say that potatoes should al ways be boiled in their jackets, as there are various elements detrimental to the wholesomeness of the vegetable that are absorbed by the skin, and that potatoes that are peeled before boiling retain some of these elements. One of the many cures for earache is to mix well together ten drops of lauda num, one-half grain sulphate of morphia and one-half ounce of glycerine. A piece of cotton well saturated with this mix ture should be insertedin the ear and re newed every fifteen mioutes till the pain ceases. The digestibility of vegetables de-. pends in a greay measure on the amount of starch they contain. To free this ele ment and have it thoroughly incorporate itself with the other elements in the vegetable a great amount of heat is neces gary. Hence it is that all vegetables should be put down to cook in boiling water. Mothers and nurges will find the fol lowing carminative powder very valuable when baby has the colic: Drop on half an ounce of lump sugar five grains of oil of aniseed and two of peppermint. Put the sugar in a mortar, add a dram of magnesia and reduce to a fine powder. A small quantity of this mixed with a little water will give alinost iustant re lief. ‘ _ Spring chickens at this season, and later, are in the market, and are 4 dainty article of food which can be gx;e.rared in a variety of,a}» tizing ways, besides the usual mode of frying or broiling. To have chickens or any poultry in perfection it is very necessary to have them properly dressed. ~When conven ient it is always best to kill them the nifil‘n before usini. o cut a chicken up properly, after picking and drawing, lay on a board, cut off the feet, then the wings, after which cut the breast in two, also the back. The garnishes for spring chicken are parsley, sliced lemon and catsup. To broil sprin{f chicken, split a half grown spring chicken down the Dback, twist the tips of the wings over the sec ond joint; wipe dry; spread out, and break the breast-bone with the rolling pin. Put on a gre{l&t.‘sl gridiron over a clear fire, rub with ¢ arified buttér. Turn often to prevent scorching, When half done, sprinkle with salt and pepé)er. ‘When thoroughly done put on a hot dish with melted butter and a little mushroom catsup. Garnish with squares of toasted bread. SpriNG CHICKEN DrEssEp As TERRA rIN.—BoiI a young chicken, cut in pieces, and put in a stew pan with soup stock to cover. Stir in a quarter of a pound of butter and one beaten ege. Season with salt, ({)epper and thyme; add two hard boiled eggs cut up, and the juice of a lemon. Boil and serve with wild grape jelly. Galvanic Coating for Plaster Casts. Hitherto in the galvanic coating of plaster casts there has been a difficulty in stopping the pores of the surface so ef fectually as to prevent the galvanic bath penctrating into the interior of the plas ter and there producing first crystaliza tion and then disintegration. This ob stacle appears to have been overcome by the discovery that saturation in tan not only closes up the pores of the plaster, but aids very considerably in its strength. Specimens so prepared have been covered | with copper one millimetre thick, a thickness wkich is not only sufiicient to resist atmospheric influences, but which enables the surface to be further worked up and finished by hand. The price of a cast coated with copper is said to be one fifth of the cost of a copper casting. No remedy in the world is so highly appre ciate by mothers as Dr. Bull’s Worm %estroy ers. Many little children owe their good health to these dainty little candies. Love is as old as the first moment of eterni ty and as new as the last moment of time. How Can It Be Done ?

Especially is it the case with the youth. A youth with little rev erence is prone to develop into an o'd age of cynicism, dcspising all things and de spised by all mankind, If the humorous individual does not appreciate generosity, kindness, morality, and religion, he too often outsteps the modesty of nature and sacrifices his own self-respect for the ef fect of the moment. I po not believe Moxey has any genius for business whatever!” “Why?" *‘liere he has fai ed seven times in as many years and he is actually a poor man yet.” Chills and Fever. ‘When a person gets the chills and fever they don’t want to take medicine that does them no good. They don’t feel a bit like doing such a oolish thing. They want a medicine that is gafe and one that is sure, Well, there is one remedy, that, while be ng perfectly harmless, has never failed and never will fail to com pleteliy cure chills and fever, and that remedy is Smith’s Tonic Syrup. It is made by Dr. John Bull, of Louisville, Ky.. and is as sure to cure chills and fever as daylight is to follow darkness. In the malarial season it is an ex cellent remedy to have handy. A single dose will check a cold and allay feverish symptoms. Every intelligent family should keep it in their household and use it as a preventive of colds and malaria, as well as a quick cure. When words fail to express, try some reliable freight line. Dr. L. L.
