    - 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.

" 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.

| 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

il THE POSITIVE CURE. ot
CATARRH
‘ Humor, »
Under certain restrictions humor, or
‘g keen sense of the ridiculous,” is a val
uable gift, ennblix‘nfi a man to avoid some
of the snarcs and dark places of life; but
with some it is undeniably a dangerous
gift, If indulged in beyond the limits of
“‘becoming mirth” it becomes destructive
of reverence for that which is sacred and
lessens the appreciation for the high and
nobler aims of life. 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.
