An Interesting Statemeet,
It is an interesting statement that Is
made by Secretary IV i I son of the ad¬
vanced work of the Department of
Agriculture in its investigation of
seeds adapted to the wide variations
of climate and soil in the United
.States. These variations find m their
counterparts in other regions- of the
world, where particular products,
through long cultivation, have been
brought to a high degree of develop
meat. Thus we are promised the de
Boons muskmeloh of Afghanistan
from Colorado, the Bermuda Easter
'lily from several Southern States
where soil and rainfall are favorable
to the bulb, the Smyrna tig from Cali¬
fornia, the Algerian date from Arizo¬
na, and the grass of the Russian
steppes from the arid plains of the
Northwest. This is a work of scien
tific and systematic investigation
whose discoveries, leading to practical
will prove to he very valuable.
THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.
Women who cave suffered severely
and been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
JPinkbam’s advice and medicine arc
urging publication of their
for the benefit of other wo
USi. Here are two such letters:
Jp Mrs. Lizzie Bf.vebi.y, 258 Merrimac
St., Lowell, Mass., writes;
“ It affords me great pleasure to tell
all suffering women of the benefit I have
received frony taking Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound. I can hard¬
ly find words to express my gratitude for
what she has done forme. My trouble
Jrwas ulceration of the womb. I was un
■Qer the doctor’s care. Upon examina¬
tion he found fifteen very large ulcers,
hut he failed to do me good. I took sev
•eral bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege¬
table Compound, also used the Sanative
Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham’s
medicine saved my life, and I would
recommend it to all suffering women.”
Mrs. Amos Trombleay, Ellenburgh
-Ctr., N. Y.. writes:
“ I took cold at the time my baby
■was born, causing me to have milk
legs, and was sick in bed for eight
weeks. Doctors did me no good. I
thought I would die. I was al
with falling of the vromb.
^ftcould ^^en not eat, had faint spells as
as tea times a day. One day a
Bk came to see ine aud told me of the
Bit she had derived from taking
E. Pinkham’s medicine, and ad
Hme to try it. I did so, and had
Htfen only half a bottle before I was
to sit in a chair. After taking
bottles I could do my own work,
am now in perfect, health.”

cried, in greeting her visitor.
“Yes! I wanted to see you!” the i
girl returned fervently, as they kissed |
each other. ‘T was out for a spin and i

like my new suit?” I
“I like it ! It looks just lovely on
you!”
“Isn’t the skirt too short?”
f “Not a bit. You want ; t short. ”
“But not too short,” insisted the
girl. “I was so afraid it would be
too short. Home look perfectly shock¬
ing.”
“I know. Butyour’s isn’t a bit too |
short. Come in this way where we j
can sit down.” j
“Oh, but I mustn’t stay!” ! !
“I thought you wanted to see me?”
•Cela’s oxercise had heightened the
Jolor in her pretty face, but ablush
increased it still more as Mrs. Cassidy
recalled , those first words. Cela
covered her confusion with more talk
in regard to her new gown and the
trials she had undergone in having it
out and fitted. Even as she spoke
Mrs. Cassidy seemed forced to take
the girl’s measure in a certain other
light.
“How old are you, Cela?” she
asked, abruptly.
*‘Wliy, Laura Cassidy! What a
question' Ho you think I’m going
to tell? * * * Nineteen. Why?”
“You’ll be getting married before
long.”
“Oh, my goodness! I’m never going
to marry. But I’ve bad a proposal,”
blushing furiously.
“And you've said ‘Yes.’ I’m so
glad. How lovely of you to come and
tell me all about it.”
Mrs. Cassidy was about to fold the
girl in her arms again, but Cela waved
her off.
“Oh, dear, no! And what’s more,
I’m not going to say ‘yes.’ Oh, I
don’t know what I’m going to say.
How do you decide about such thiugs?
You've had to once, not long ago. Tell
me. That’3 what I came for.”
A note tremulous of despair hovered
about her voice.
“It’s easy, You must know whether
you love Norman Ford or not.”
“Norman Ford! How did you guess
him?”
“Why, who else could it be?”
“He isn’t the only young man!”
Cela retorted, with a touch of resent¬
ment.
Mrs. Cassidy gave tone to a rich
laugh. She was in love with the mo¬
ment. Cela was mindful only of the
main question.
“You see, I would have to leave
papa and go and live with N—Mr.
Ford. I’ve only known him a few
months—a year or two at most—and
I’ve known papa all my life.”
Mrs. Cassidy’s laugh was very pro¬
voking. Cela was vexed.
“Oh, you know what I mean. What
makes you behave so? I thought you
would help me.”
“And so I will. Y'ou must stay with
toe a week. Send for your thiugs.
Yon must think it over. A matter of
this kind can’t be decided at once.”
“That’s jnst what I told Norm’!”
said the girl, flashing joyously. “It’s
so kind of you to help me. I knew
ygu would. I want to talk it all over
with you. You see, I don’t want to
make any mistake.’?
Aud talk it over they did every day,
almost every hour, for a week.
“It w-ill be better for yon not to see
Mr. Ford until you cau give him a
definite answer,” her friend had said,
and Cela acquiesced in the wisdom of
this. “Of course I can’t choose for
you. I can only help you to know
your own mind.”
“How did you ever choose?” Cela
asked, envious of her friend’s ability.
“It was easy. I just knew.”
“That’s it; you always know every¬
thing, and I never know anything. ”
Later, when Mrs. Cassidy questioned
her, Cela said:—“In the morning I’m
all for papa. Then it seems just as
clear as can be what I shall do. But
toward evening, about the time Nor—
Ford—usually comes”—tha red.!
into Cela’s cheeks—“why, I’m 1

“But you don’t really have to choose |

“Oh, yes, I do!” interrupted Cela I
very positively. Itwillallbe “It different. can never I should be the j j

have to give up papa, and J. shall most
certainly say ‘No.’” j
This was in the morning.
In the afternoon Mrs. Cassidy and
Cela went for a spin through the parks
on their wheels.
lovely , rides r on Po "V.....i a tandem 1 ‘r**™* that he has!
Cela said rapturously. “I wish I had
bi “ \ u ?, ic ^Mug where I am
staying. I leally cion t think there
would be any harm in his coming, and
he might help me to a decision. It
reall y seems as if it js onld be heart
i ess to say 'No, . for i c says he thinks
everything of me. You just ought to
bear him once! And, as you say, I
haven’t really got to give papa up. He
might come and live with us.' Any
way, could see him every day —
almost as much as I do now, for he’s
only home a few hours in the even
ing. -But it did seem so terrible at
first!” •
In the morning the terror of it all
returned, made worse by a feeling
that a decision must be reached that
‘lay, for it was the last of her stay
w ith her friend. But when Mrs. Cas
sidy joined Cela her face was beaming
with a plan which she had thought out.
“I’ve a way, Cela, for you to know
your own mind.”
“Ob, what is it?”
“Listen! Tom says that every
i n g Mr. Ford and your father walk
down Columbia avenue together on
their way from town. At Madison
street they separate; your father goes
west to take the Third street cars.
Now this is my plan; this afternoon
on your way home you ride your wheel
slowly down tne avenue just back of
the two men. But don’t let them stee
yon. All the way you must just think
that you must make up your mind be
tween them, and at the corner where
they part that you will follow the one
whom you decide upon. Ride your
wheel just as slow as you can, but you
mustn’t stop or fall off.”
“Yes,” said Cela.
“And if at the very last you can’t
decide leive it all to the wheel.”
“Leave it to the wheel?” Cela did
not understand.
“Yes. Haven’t you ever noticed
your wheel act independent of your¬
self? That is, turn this way or that
without your consciously making it?”
“It did that when I was learning to
ride.”
“But since?”
“Yes—sometimes.”
“Well, that’s the way planchette
works,” said the other mysteriously
“It’s really one’s subconsciousness
that does it, I suppose. You know
subconsciousness is like clairvoyance
and second sight and hypnotism and
all those things which know all about
the past aud future.”
Cela shuddered.
“I am afraid of such things.”
“But not of subconsciousness. To
be afraid of that would be like being
afraid of one’s own soul.”
“Well, what then?” eagerly.
“Why, if it is best that you should
accept Mr. Ford your wheel will keep
straight ahead down Columbia ave¬
nue after him. But if you really
ought to refuse him it will turn with¬
out your really making it, down the
street that your father takes.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“I hatje read that the wheel taught
one decision,” Cela said, “but I never
knew just how.”
“Well, that’s how,” said Mrs. Cas¬
sidy, slowly and thoughtfully. behind
The sun had disappeared
the tall brick blocks to the west, and
left the street, canyonlike, in soft
shadows. Cela darted among the car¬
riages, dodging heavily laden trucks,
the while keeping a sharp eye upon
the walk for two men.
“Oh, there he is!” she said softly,
with a little thrill of delight. “Norm
has a new suit of gray; that’s why I
didn’t know him sooner. What would
he think if he knew I was so near,
watching him? He said he should be
under torture till I gave him my an¬
swer. He doesn’t act like it. What
can papa and he be talking so agree¬
ably about? Papa, the dear old soul!
But I must be thinking—I must
choose between them!”
Cela’s face paled a little.
“Papa wouldn’t come and live with
us. He just couldn’t! Whenever
we’ve talked of boarding he has said
he could not bear to give up his home.
It’s a wonder Norm doesn’t look this
way. Ho has said again and again
that he knew when I was in the same
room with him—that he could feel my
eyes.”
They crossed Jefferson street.
“It’s at the next corner, now!” she
gasped, “and I haven’t decided yet. I
am all that papa has in this world.
How can I leave him alone? Would
it be right? Other daughters do.
Laura seemed -to think it would.
Norm says he can never love auy one
else—he’d rather die than live without
me. Oh, here is the earner. And
they are separating. Papa is looking
this way. What shall I do? I just
cau’t decide. Laura said leave it to
the wheel. What will the wheel do?”
There was a breathless moment.
Cela’a wheel was going very slow;

Upon its movements hung

Her heart had almost censed to beat.
One more turn of the pedals would
carry her by. Slower, slower. Snd

right.

breath that came like a kuife in her

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
Electric heaters have been intro¬
duced into the cloth presses used in
French textile works, and take the
place of an awkward system of heat¬
ing cast-iron plates in a furnace aud
then placing them m the press be¬
tween the various layers of cloth. In
the new arrangement electric heaters
enclosed in sheet-iron cases are used,
and they are not only much less cum¬
brous, but possess the advantage of
being adjustable to different degrees
of temperature.
The origin of the Hessian fly in the
United States is stated to be due to
the presence of that insect in the bed¬
ding and fodder of the Hessian troops
when they landed ou Long Island in
1776. The fly was first observed in
this locality two years later, and from
Long Island it has proceeded in all
directions at the rate of about twenty
miles each year. It is now found
throughout the Eastern half of the
United States, except in some South¬
ern and Southeastern States, and al¬
so in California. Its original habita¬
tion is not known, but it occurs in
Europe, particularly in the eastern
countries. In tlie west of Europe and
England it is rarely destructive, and
its presence seems to be of recent oc¬
currence. The insect was also found
in New Zealand two years after it was
located in England by the entomolo¬
gists. Wheat, rye and barley are tho
plants most affected by the Hessian
fly, and the method of attack is to al¬
low the grub to take up its home in
the stalk, resulting in its breaking
down.
In ship-building an extensive use is
now made of pneumatic tools for
drilling, riveting, and similar opera¬
tions, and to obviate the necessity of
a more or less complex system of pip¬
ing portable air compressors have re¬
cently been introduced, which can be
set up in the immediate vicinity of the
pneumatic tools. These air-compres¬
sors are driven by gasoline engines of
the same pattern as those used in sta¬
tionary plants, and the gasoline and
the water for cooling the cylinders are
carried in tanks connected with the
apparatus. There are two heavy fly¬
wheels to control the speed and length
of stroke, and the engine is directly
connected to the compressor. The
whole apparatus can be moved readily
from place to place, and, should it be
desired to go a considerable distance,
horses may be attached. In addition

compressed air is being usedfor rivet

|FARM QGOOOG OOOQOQQQOQOQOG^OQOC TOPICS! c
The Cellar,
The buildings on a farm should be
as commodious and practically beauti¬
ful as the farmer is able to build. In
some States the farms have indifferent
houses, but large and elegant barns,
if the term elegant may lie used iti
such a connection. This plan is not
to be commended. The most valuable
crop grown upon the farm is the crop
that is growing in the house, and it
should be boused in a building that is
as perfect that mechanism and ob¬
servance of the laws of hygiene can
make it. There is plenty of room on
the farm for the construction of the
house, and it should be built of suffi¬
cient size to permit of large, airy
rooms, if the pocket book will admit
of such a structure. The cellar de¬
serves more attention than it usually
receives. A hole in the ground is not
necessarily such as should be under
a house. It should never be forgotten
that the dampness and odors of this
hole will permeate the whole house.
Bad cellars have been the cause of au
immense amount of disease and death.
On ground that is not naturally abso¬
lutely dry—aud there is comparative¬
ly little such ground, and is exclu¬
sively found in the arid sections—the
outside of the cellar wall should be
cemented to keep out the water. It
should contain a cement floor. II
there is no cement floor, at the bot¬
tom of the wall flat stones should be
laid to extend a few inches beyond
the wall. This will be an absolute
prevention of the entrance of rats at
the bottom of the wall. The rat when
it enters at the bottom of the wail al¬
ways goes straight down the side,
straight down the side, and it does
know enough to go outside the
protruding stone. If there is a cement
that precaution will not be neces
sary. A cellar thus constructed will
be dry. a Uf 1 Ike entrance is proper
guarded, which it always should
be, it will be rat proof.—The Epito
mist,
A Complete Compost,
First, put down a layer of vegetable
matter, such as barnyard manure, night
soil, hen manure, refuse from the vege¬
table and fruit piles, scrapings from
the woodpile, rubbish from the gar¬
den, in fact anything and everything
in the shape of a litter. Make the
layer ten feet wide by twenty feet long,
and six inches deep. Over this sprin¬
kle fifteen pounds potash, dissolved
in five or six gallons of water, which
will turn it into a jelly. Then over
this scatter evenly one or two barrels
of unslaked lime and cover the whole
evenly with two in of fine earth; the
finer the better. Repeat this as often
as you have enough matter to make a
layer, as above described.
When the pile is three to four feet
high put on enough water to slake the
lime, and thoroughly saturate the
whole mixture, but not enough to wash
or leach it, as that would carry away
the best of the fertilizer. The water
will cause the potash and lime to pro¬
duce a powerful heat, and a very sud¬
den decomposition of all vegetable
matter. This amount of material will
make one load of fertilizer worth three
or four of common barnyard manure.
Besides it will come out as fine as
ashes, and consequently be very easily
haudled. The compost can be made
without potash and lime, but not with¬
out the water. It will not be as rich
a plant food without the lime and
potash nor nearly as well balanced
eUemically. The potash may be ob¬
tained from the crude potash, or two
barrels of good bard wood ashes evenly
spread over each layer, instead of the
fifteen pounds of potash, will be just
as good. It is one of the best and
cheapest fertilizers I can get. Any¬
thing and everything can be put into
it, even to a dead horse, ox, horns,
hoofs, old rags and the scrapings from
the woodpile, simply by adding more
potash to the la3t named matters, and
it will all be converted into a splendid
fertilizer.
The wash suds and the slops from
the chambers should be saved for wet¬
ting down tlie pile, or can be thrown
on as made, as they will increase the
value of the manure. The liquid
manure from the stable should not be
allowed to go to waste, but all put into
the compost heap, so that nothing be
lost.—O. J. Prowse.
Sense of Sigjit and Food.
In the recognition of foods and
drinks, as well as in their enjoyment,
the sense of sight plays a much more
prominent part than is usually sup
posed. With normal subjects blind- I
folded it was found impossible to dis¬
tinguish many of our common foods
and drinks. Different kinds of meat
and meat broths, as well as the differ¬
ent kinds of bread, were often con¬
fused. One subject, a woman noted (
for her skill in cooking, made the fol- !
lowing judgments; she called Raw potato boiled j
chopped acorns;
sweet'and fiat; freffi pear shTcdled
sweet berry slightly fermented; roast
pork she called boiled beef; raw tur- !
nip chopped she called cabbage
sweetened; raw apple was grape !
juice; roast turkey was called beef; !
aud horse radish she said was some
thing she had never tasted.—Wash¬

A SCHOOL ON WHEELS.
How the Westinghouse Air-Brake Sjsteiift
Is Taught.
A few weeks ago there rolled into
the yard of the New York, New Ha*
ven and Hartford railroad, at Park
square, a most unusual kind of school
house. It was backed upon a siding,
and remained there until it left the
city. This schoolhouse, wjth its corps
of competent instructors, is the only
one of its kind in this country, or in
the whole world, for that matter, and
is owned and operated by the West¬
inghouse Air Brake company. It is
made up of three cars and has traveled
more than fifty-live thousand miles. In
it more than one hundred thousand
railroad men have been instructed
within the. eight years of its exist
ence. It is a perfectly constructed
school house, fitted with every appii
anee for instructing the pupils in the
use of the Westinghouse' Air Brake
system, and has its principal and its
competent teachers. When the West
Inghouse air brake was invented and
applied to steam railroads, it -was
found to be the best thing of Us kind
ever invented, provided it was proper¬
ly handled. It is automatic in its ac¬
tion, but the best results could not
be obtained without a competent man
at the throttle, who understood per¬
fectly just what results might he ob¬
tained with a certain amount of pres¬
sure. It was this fact that led to the
establishment of the schoolhouse;
which just now has its headquarters
in Boston. It was the idea of getting
the best results out of the brake, and
therefore insuring greater safety to
the passengers and a saving of prop¬
erty to the railroads and shippers, that
was the inspiration of this remarkable
school. It was in 1889 that the three
cars that compose the schoolhouse
were built in Altoona, Fa., by the
Westinghouse Air Brake company. The
instruction car is equipped with tha
full number of air brakes, number of
feet of piping* coupling, auxiliary res¬
ervoirs, etc., to equip a freight train
of thirty cars, and also to equip a pas
senger train of fifteen cars ntted wittn
the whistle signaling device. The in
struetion car weighs 135,000 pounds,
and is one of the heaviest cars that
ever traveled the rails of a railroad.
More than 112,000 railroad men have
received Instruction and have been
examined as to their competency. Tha
schoolhouse of three cars has been on.

river, including Manitoba, Canada, and
Mexico. It has also been over thou¬
sands of miles of railroad on the miff-'

Valuable Swords ot Hoaoi.
A carved sword of honor, owned by
the Gackwar of Baroda, India, is by
far the most valuable in the world,
its hilt and scabbard being encrusted
with diamonds, rubies and emeralds
of the rarest kind, tlie whole being
valued at £220,000. Several of the na¬
tive Indian princes have swords of
honor of more than half zhe value of
that belonging to the ruler of Baroda*
the golden hilts being studded with the
most valuable precious stones. The
Shah of Persia had a sword valued at
upwards of £10,000 which he wore on
his visit to Great Britain. The czar
of Russia and the sultan of Turkey
possess swords, set with diamonds and
other precious stones worth thousands
of pounds. The sword of honor pre¬
sented to Lord Wolseley by the Egyp¬
tians is set with diamonds and valued
at £ 2 , 000 .
