Probably the use of labor-saving imriementswdrked by horse or steam power has lessened the demand for physical strength on the farm, as it has in other avocar tioas, says the American Cultiva­ tor; Fifty years agp expert mow­ ers and cradlers led in the hay and harvest field. Now the farmer hitches his team to mower or har­ vester and apparently the skilled workman has lost his job. But it is only apparently. More Skill is re­ quired to manage this labor-saving machinery. If the farmer thinks that less executive ability is ne ded in farming he is veryniuch mistaken. It is, indeed, a much mare compli­ cated faculty than is often thought, and is far more largely mental than a physical qualification. Given a mod erafce degree of physical strength, and the man with active, intelligent mind will do more manuel labor than one who is dull or stupid. He may not work harder. What he does do will counu On the farm the import­ ant points in executive ability ara not. to attempt too much, and to*iuake aue allowances for rainy weather and other conditions when work is not possible. Failing in these the farmer gets farther and farther behind. He soon realizes that "a stern chase is a long chase." Once let weeds, insects, fungus, blights, or other enemies get the start, and though the work be done never so thoroughly afterwartl, the result is never quite the same it might have been, nor does it pay so well The ability to calculate rightly can be modified to suit the conven­ ience of the poultryman.--Fancier's Journal French Terms Use«l in Cookings Ragout--A rich, brown stew, with mushrooms, vegetables, etc. Piquante--A sauce of several flavors, acid predominating.

A last weighing of the dish ! with the milk lesidue, less the weight! of the dish, gives the solids, and by a j single calculation the percentage is > found.

A Metal That Hardens Steel. The reason why the mixture of tungsten with steel gives the latter So great a degree of hardness that it readily scratches glass and quartz seems to be revealed by a discovery recently made in Germany. A defi­ nitely crystallized compound of iron and tungsten has been discovered, the crystals being so hard as to scratch topaz. Tungsten is a brittle white metal almost as heavy as gold. The crystals formed bv its combination with iron, . , . . , , ; in the proportion of one atom of iron cows, the solids left are extracting, tungsten, are silver-gray the fat is a very constant quantity, an(j very brilliant fsuK POLISH hardly ever falling below nine per cent. This gives the chemist a pos­ itive, basis for his calculations and en­ ables him to state with great cei^ tainty whether or not the milk has been watered. The fat or oil in milk is determined by dissolving it by means of ether out of total solids, tjie residue remaining after the operation being termed "so-ids not fat." The average fat or oil found in cow's milk is three per eent*, and any amount less than this is commonly taken as showing that the milk has been skimmed. If analysis shows a de­ crease of fat, it is inferred that the milk has been watered, while if the tat only is low, that the milk has been skimmed. It is thought that when tungsten Is alloyed with steel, some of the compound just described is formed in the mass, thereby producing the re­ markable increase in the hardness of the steeL This is an interesting example of the value that one metal may lend to another, for, until the discovery that it could be used in hardening steel, tungsten, although it occurs in con­ siderable abundance, was Dractically useless and without value.

One member of the party, who seemed to be well infojm:a^dfi£ posed of all other theories by saying that the name of the island is of purely Dutch origin. He added: "It simply means rabbit island, owing to the multitude of rabbits which bur­ rowed ihelr holes in the sandy soil. The ancient Dutch for rabhit is 'co- neyn,' plural, •coneynea' The island was called 'Coneynen eiland,' after­ ward anglicized into Coney Island. The name first appears in the public documents at the time of Governor Kieft The latter on May 24, 1644, conveved Coneynen eiland by deed to one Gysbert Op Dyck. Later on the island became a bone of contention between the English of Gravesend, who laid claim to it, and the Dutch of Manhattan. Those contentions culminated indeeds of violencein 1661, when Dirck De Wolf, who had obtained fro*n the chamber of Amsterdam in Holland, the exclusive privilege to make salt in Jfew iJetherland for seven years, began its manufacture upon Coneynen Eilanci.

In ItisO Coney Island was used as a post of observation, and a watchman was stationed there to warn the authori­ ties at New York in case more than three vessels at a time should enter Sandv Hook. This was done as a precautionary measure in case the partisans of the dethroned James IL should take it Into th:ir heads to make an attempt against New York, which had declared fpr William and Mary." ^ In SootlaiMl.

The Australian fanners have mafly enemies to light against, besides those which have been imported into the country, like the rabbit. Large fruit eating bats do much damage to the orchards, and it is no pleasant sight for the industrious agriculturist to see devouring swarins of these so- called (lying foxes advancing on his crops of an eveninir. Wild dogs were formerly very numerous, but they did so much damage that they were de­ stroyed without mercy. On large plantations a man is kept whose sole work is to lay out poison for them. One of the greatest annoyances fn certain parts of Australia is the poi­ sonous nettle or "stinging tree." It is so poisonous that if its beautiful heart-shaped leaves are only put in motion they cause one to sneeze. They are covered with nettles on both sides, and a sting from them gives great pain. Horses wounded by them roll as if mad with pain, and if they do not at once receive attention they will in this way kill themselves. O.ily Bathe W'heu Leaving the Plaom. A returned Norfolk reviewer tells a story on that town. It happened that during his stay he felt the need of a bath, but found the accommoda­ tions very meager.

It is very frequently referred to in the works of writers among the ancients, and the manner of its men­ tion shows that the distemper has not changed essentially with the pas­ sage of centuries.

O in NEARLY $ SET THE CHILDREN TO WORK. Aa Ingenious Englishman Who Combined a Swing an<l u Marh-Needed Pamp. An English writer on inventive penluses tells a story (reproduced in Harper's Young People) of a certain August Pireh, who is the happy pos­ sessor, of, a dozen fine, healthy chil­ dren, v Mr. Pirch, so the story goes, had a tract of land that could not be used for the want of water, since it was far from any available stream or other body which might prove of use in the fertilization of his acres, and li.wto irrigate the land without spending a large sum of money was a mystery which for a long •ime Mr. Pirch co.dd not solve. He figured out the cost of a well, and found that his resources would permit of his digging a sixiy- foot well and tho pur, hase of a cheap pump, but how to make the pump work was a question. Suddenly h s invent­ ive mind suggested a solution. He re­ membered his children and be a so called to mind a certain large family swing he had seen in a neighboring town. Ho knew the swing w .uld please the children, and he hoped that through it their pleasure might be able to serve his Interests. The well was bored, the pump was set up, and the swing wa* put iu working order. "Here, now, l oys," said ho, when all was ready, calling the children to him, "come out here and get in this swing. I'm going to give you something to play with." In five minutes the children were flying backward and forward through i the air. The pump worked up and down ga.vly as you please, and a four- teen-inch stream of water ? owed from i the well. Mr. Pirch's scheme had j worked. The children do not know t that they are working, as the swing is I some distance from tho well and is con­ nected with it by an iron rod which works the pump as the swing moves I backward and forward. The scheme I has worked well, and It is said that the ; youngsters pump enough water during their day's sport to irrigate a* large tract. Sirdou Always Sure of Sao«e«i.

Why the llalr Curls When HeafeJ. i Hair does not necessarily our; when merely heated, as a person may go into and remain in an excessively hot tem­ perature, without the hair, heated as it will be, curling. The reason generally assigned for its curling when wound on a pair of hot curling tonj;s, is that the moisture of the side next the iron beiniz evaporated by the heat, the cells in that part approach each other more closely, and this shrinking of one s de forms a curve. The curling is partly, t however, due to the firmness of the i hair, which induces it to retain for u time any form into which it may i e forcibly restrained, until its elasticity makes it return after a shorter or a longer period to its original position. This is shown by the old-fashioned method of twisting the hair up light'y in curl papers, and keeping- it so for a length of time, to induce it to renm'n more or less curled. Whatever meth­ ods are used, they have to be repeated again and again, or else the hair loses Its curled appearance, and returns to its natural position. Tho persistent u s e o r c u r l i n g t o n g s u n d o u b t e d l y i u - jures the hair by making it dry and brittle. • Wasted Oration. They tell a good story about one of our promising lawyers here. He is con­ sidered, and rightly, an orator, and on occasions is in great demand as a speaker. Tne episode occurred after ho had recently been called upon for oratorical efforts on several occasions and had responded. Retiring one n ght very tired after a banquet, the viands of which had evidently not been so : carefully prepared as the impromptu after-dinner speeches, the lawyer was troubled with somnambulism. Rising up in bed, he began to pour forth a tor­ rent of eloquence, accompanying 4t with vigorous gestures. His wile was awakened, and cried out to her excited spou3e: "What in the world are you doing?" The reply came like a Hash from the somnambulistic orator: "I've talked for everybody else, n .w I'm making a speech for myself." He thereupon subsided, and the next morning know nothing of the incident. --Augusta Jourr.al. May-I)ajr on the Plains.
