Y., which druggists and shoe dealers say is the best thing they have ever sold to cure swollen, hunting, sore and tender or aching feet. Some dealers claim that it makes tight or new shoes feel easy. It certainly will cure corns and bunions and relieve in­ stantly sweating, hot or smarting feet. It costs only a quarter, and the inventor will send a sample free to any address. > ; . A $100,000 Telephone lane. The new telephone line between Ber­ lin and Budapest is now a certainty, for work upon it was begun on April 1, and will be carried on at such a rate that the entire line will be in operation by the month of September. To expe­ dite matters work was started simul­ taneously at thirteen points. The to­ tal length of the line will be about 620 miles, of which 273 miles are in Ger­ man territory, 50 in Austrian Silesia and the remaining 297 miles in Hun­ gary proper. The total cost of .this tel­ ephone line will not exceed $100,000. A LOCOMOTIVE AL.ARM. ----r-- , To .Warn the Flagman of a Crossing of the Train's Approach. The accompanying cut explains the pneumatic safety arrangement design­ ed for grade crossings. It is arranged so that either the flange or tread of the locomotive wheel will depress a piston in a cylinder as the engine passes by, irrespective of its being empty or load­ ed, or running fast or slow. To the cylinder there is attached a AGRICULTURAL NEWS much labor to put up. But the woven-wire fence has a still greater advan­ tage In the fact that it can be easily taken down and set up again. With a few hundred rods of this fence, no other fencing material would be needed on any farm. Under a permanent tence, such weeds as Canada thistle and quack grass will find a secure home, from which no cultivation can dislodge them. How Beets Were Improved. It is by successive plantings of beet seed from the plants which 6howed the greatest percentage of sweet, that the amount of saccharine matter in the beet has been increased from eight per cent, from the best up to fourteen ano even eighteen per cent., as some of the 1 improved French varieties have shown. Vilmoriii, a French seed grower, took the lead in these experlements. It might be supposed that In testing the beets it would thereafter be impossible to use such beets for planting. But Vilmorin was very careful in testing to only scoop out a small part of the bulb, numbering each specimen, and when the test of each was completed, selecting those beets for seed which yielded the richest juices. Under This treatment, however, the beets became less productive than in those varieties grown "under natural conditions. Pos­ sibly also it cannot be expected that beets yielding such high percentages of sweet Should grow so large as do the varieties whose sap is not thus over­ laden and can therefore flow more easily. And yet it may not be any harder for nature to change the car­ bonic acid gas absorbed through the beet leaves sweet than it is into starch, each being different forms of the same chemical substance, carbon.

When traveling in.the forests of Guiana and Paraguay, it is not un­ common to meet with a bird whose music greatly resembles that of an An­ gelus bell when heard from a distance. The Spaniards call this singular bird a bell-ringer; though it may be still more appropriately designated as the Atlgelus bird, fof; like the 1 Angelas bell, It is heard three times a day, morning, noon and 'flight. Its song, which defies aIlT description, consists of sounds like the strokes of a bell, suc­ ceeding one another every two or three minutes, so clearly and In such a reson­ ant manner that'the listener, if a stran­ ger, imagines himself to be near a chapel or a convent. But it turns out that the forest is the chapel, ami the bell a bird. The beauty of the Angelus bird is equal to his talent. He is as large as a jay. and as white as snow, besides be­ ing graceful in form and swift In mo­ tion. But the most curious ornament of the Angelus bird is the tuft of black, arched feathers on Its beautiful head. It is conical, in shape and about four Inches in length.--jB^rom the Guardian Angel. . - .. ; t. , ; Nature Bounteous in Texas. Grand old Texas is very kind to her children.

Borne Interesting Facts Begardlng the Output of Crescent Bicycles in 1890 by the Western Wheel Works, of Chicago, 111. The idea of this article is to convey to the reader a conception of the enormous amount of raw material consumed during a season in supplying the demand for one of the most popular bicycles made. The Western Wheel Works, Chicago, makers of the Crescent wheel, have the largest, and without doubt the most com­ plete bicycle factory in the world, and can turn out, when running to fullest capacity, 725 finished Crescents in twelve hours, or a complete "up to date" bicycle per minute. The following figures are based on the actual amount of the priucipal parts of material used by them during 1890 in the manufacture of Crescent bicycle^; dur­ ing which season they made more high- grade bicycles than any other two fac­ tories in the country. They used 350 miles of tubing, or enough to nearly reach from Chicago to St. Paul if placed in a straight line. The spokes were made in their own factory, and required 780 miles of w*ire, or enough to reach from Chicago to Lincoln, Neb.; 50 miles of brass rod was required for spoke nipples. If the spokes, spoke nip pies and tubing were placed in a straight line they would reach from Chicago to the Rocky Mountains at Denver. The cranks, if placed end to end, would cover a distance of 22 miles. They used .35 miles of steel for crank axles, wheel axles and pedal axles, and 19 miles of steel for seat posts. If the rims that were used in the manufacture of Crescents in ".Hi were placed one upon the other they would n^ke a pile 19,800 feet high, 0.000 feet higher than Pike's Peak and about the height of Mouut E'.ias in Alaska, whose summit has never yet been reached by man. If placed in a straight line, side bv £ide, these rims would reach a distance of 72^ miles, and if the tires were fitted they would make a iine 77^> miles longer. The steel forgings used for the crank hangers on the '90 wheels weighed, in the rough, 113.8-10 tons, and when fin­ ished, 21 9-10 tons, showing a complete waste of 91 9-10 tons in drilling and fin­ ishing. It required 32,084 square feet of sheet steel to make the Crescent hollow tooth sprockets,, and 21,870 square feet for the steel stampings of the head and seat post clamps, or in. all enough flat steel to cover an area of 1% acres; There were used 10 miles of cork grips. 10% miles of finished hubs, and 28 miles of steel wire to pin frames together before brazing. The finished chains, end to end. would reach 70 miles, and the different' pieces of which they are composed would reach 237% miles, or in all 307% miles, the distance from Chicago to Cincinnati. The bearings of 1890 Crescents required .13,997,300 steel balls, which, if placed •in a straight line, side by side, would reach a distance of 45% miles. To lace the chain and dress guards on the ladies' Crescents manufactured in 1890 required 434,150 yards of cord, or 240% miles, enough to allow a small boy to.stand on the top of the Auditorium tower in Chi­ cago and fly his kite where the people in Des Moines. Iowa, could see it. To sup­ ply Crescents sold in 1S9G required 1,000.- <42 bolts, and 1,488.075 nuts, having an aggregate weight of 23 tons. Sixteen and one-quarter miles of spring steel were usedinthemanufacture of saddle springs, and the saddle and tool bags together used up 177.883 "square feet, or over 4 a(+?s of leather. The total weight of the complete bicycles was 2.382,842 pounds, or 1,191 tons. To crate these bicycles required 1,235,740 square feet of lumber made up in pieces, wh^ch would make a distance of 1.139 miles, or more than the distance from New York to Chicago: 72.- 718,008 separate and distinct pieces en­ tered into the construction of '90 Cres­ cents, and if all were placed in a straight line, end to end, they would reach from New York to some distance in the Pacific Ocean west of San Francisco.--Crescent Bulletin, July 1, 1897. THINGS PERTAINING TO THE FARM AND HOME. A Young Colt Rat-ely Recovers from Stunt--Pond 'Water Good for Cows- Why Temporary Fences Are Beat- Value of a Good Spring on the Farm< Handling Foals. Whatever method is employed in handling foals, It should have In view the full and unretarded development of the growing colt. Any young animal oij the farm must recover from any set­ back It may receive during Its growth, and the aim should be to keep it al­ ways in a thrifty condition, and gain­ ing each day until fully matured. If the young colt is stunted at any period of its growth, the effect is sure to fol­ low, and it cannot be overcome without extra food and care, greatly in excess of what have been required to keep it in constantly growing condition. In fact, the chances are that It never will recover and be what it might have been. It may grow >to be a well-devel- Oped horse, but it would have been that much better had it suffered no check in its growth.--Breeders' Ga­ zette. V ' Ponds for Watci'ins Cows. - So much is said about the need of pure water for cows that most people have come to the conclusion that pond water is always objectionable.. It may be near large cities, where various kinds of refuse get into it, and so also may the spring water of such localities be ponuted with typhoid and other germs. But away from large cities or villages the pond water as found on many farms Is as pure as that which comes from springs. Cows will drink it, even if the water be muddled, rather tLan the water freshly drawn from -pring or well. The reason is because In summer the wat^r is warmer. If allowed, cows will wade Into such ponds, letting the water cover the .• udders. This is very refreshing to them in a hot day, but Is best done where there Is a running stream, so as by exposure to the air by its motion to keep the water fresh. Mulch Under Bearing Trees. Almost all kinds of fruit trees suffer late in the summer for lack of water. The best way to keep moisture in the soli is to thoroughly mulch it with straw, cut grass or anything that will present an open, dry surface. If noth­ ing else can be procured cultivate a little loose soil under the trees as far as the roots extend. Many people do not think of loose soil as a mulch, but it is one of the best. It Is for this rea­ son that an orchard in bearing ought always to be cultivated rather than kept in grass. In cultivated soil every little shower sinks down where it will help the roots. But If the surface Is left hard and uncultivated, even the heavy rains, if there is a steep descent, may run off on the surface and do littlfe good. There Is an especial need of moisture while the fruit and its seeds are being formed, for this requires pot­ ash which cannot be used by roots until it is dissolved by water In the soil. The Value of a Good Spring. A spring of pure water on any farm adds at least a hundred dollars to its value, and If near a city It Is worth much more. Often such springs can be found in hillsides by digging six or eight feet, especially If the soil shows springy places during winter and spring. If the spring is higher than the house it can be conducted into the kitchen by force of gravity, and the water can be turned off or on as the housewife may desire. There are doubtless hundreds, and possibly thou­ sands, of farms where the best pure water can be conducted Into the house at slight expense. If the water has to be lifted a hydraulic ram will force the water up hill. This costs somewhat more, but it will generally pay. Nature Studies. We cannot but feel that an element­ ary knowledge of plant growth and of other processes of nature will some time be considered a natural part of the education of all boys and girls In the couktry, and this not simply be­ cause it will make them more success­ ful farmers or fruit growers or truck raisers, but because a matter of mental discipline it is an excellent schooling for anybody, ~heiping to train the mind to habits of observation which can be used in any field of life, and giving a knowledge of facts and professes which will furnish pleasure and entertainment In all after life, even if it is not made directly profitable In work on the farm or the garden.--Gar­ den and Forest. Feed for Swine. Sows and shoats should have rings put into their noses, aryi then turned into the orchard. They will eat up all the wormy fruit, and the fruit and grass will keep them in growing condi­ tion. Feed millfeed slop night and morning, and give them plenty of clean water to drink. Give the hogs and pigs once a week a mixture of wood ashes--Cumberland coal or anthracite will answer if It is brokeil up fine--and a little sulphur. This is an excellent appetizer. It also purifies the blood. If the pigs must be kept up, keep their pens and yards very clean; whitewash Inside and out, and feed grass, oats and peas, or corn fodder, once a day. Do not feed corn during the summer. Millet for Cutworm*. Aside from its feeding value, millet is a very useful crop for clearing the ground of cutworms. A few years ago the agricultural experiment station of South Dakota sent out questions con cerning the cutworms, one of woi-.'h follows: Will a crop such as millet, which the -worms do not like, and which effectually chokes out all other growth, leave the ground free from worms in the fall? Out of sixty an­ swers received, only one reported that worms had followed a thrifty crop of millet. All the others reported that corn after millet stood the best chance of being unmolested by wire worms,-- Agriculturist. Temporary Fences Best.' Every year the amount of interior fences is lessening, and it is not, as is generally thought, because fencing ma­ terial is growing scarcer. In fact, the greater cheapness of iron makes the woven-wire fences really cheaper, con­ sidering their permanence, than many of the old-time lences which cost so A Noted. Young JLadies' Academy.

' A remarkable shower of electrified! rain recently fell in Cordova, Spain. At the close of a close, warm day the sky became heavy with clouds.

Here is a curious story about the fa­ mous Swedish songstress, Jenny Lind. Goldschmidt, the Swedish canta- trice's accompanist, had gone to Ameri­ ca to seek his fortune. It had been a hard parting, for he loved the singer (he afterward married bier), and the result was disappointment. ^He was about to return home when he met Bar­ num and complained to him of his ill luck. Barnum was equally unhappy. He had tried everything--"clrci?s, vio­ lin virtuosos, dancers, educated apes, learned lecturers --but all in vain. Then Goldschmidt suggested that he knew a singer lh Englfthd who might be a card In America. + "A singer? Pah! What's her name?" "Jenny Lind." "That's no name," retorted Barnum. "But she sings beautifully." "Good thing for her, but no business for me." "But she's the greatest singer in En­ gland." "Better still for her; but we'll talk about something else," said the prince of managers. After a while spent in talk on other subjects, Goldschmidt returned to the attack. "For God's sake," Barnum broke in impatiently, "leave me In peace with your singer. We have as many sing­ ers as there are sands on the seashore." "Pity," replied Goldschmidt, careless­ ly. "Perhaps after all something might be done with the Swedish night­ ingale." Barnum leaped to his feet. "What's that? Swedish " "That's what they call her in En­ gland." "What is she called?" "The Swedish nightingale." "The Swedish nightingale? Write at once to Miss Jenny Lind. I will engage her for 100 concerts; $50,000 down, free voyage, and living for three persons. At once!" "But, my dear friend, you haven't heard her!" "Heard her! What the devil do I know about mtwic? Swedish night­ ingale! ImmenseJ And you, unlucky wretch, have waited till now before telling me!" Ptock in Rainy Weather. Stock at pasture in summer often suf­ fer more from cold in wet weather than they do from the cold of winter. The constant evaporation of moisture which is hastened by the warmth gen­ erated by the body chills the skin, and gives the aulmal what Is known as cold, but is really internal fever. Milch cows and those heavy with young suf­ fer most, as they cannot so well run* around and thus keep their blood circu­ lating. Every farmer has noticed that after rain has fallen all day the milk yield shrinks if the cow has been ex­ posed to the wet. For this reason a shed in the pasture field may be a good investment. Better still is it to get the cows up to the barnyard under shelter and cut some grass for them, giving a bran mash to increase the nutrition. Wet grass in field or cut does not have the proportion of nutriment to Its bulk that the same grass has In dry weather with only its own natural juices in It. A. Cheap, Good Silo. A good silo can be built cheaply and easily by the exercise of a little thought and ingenuity. If possible, construct it in any of the farm buildings, for it will then cost not more than 50 cents per ton of ensilage. Get all the height jrou can, rather than diameter. If you already have a large silo and you are troubled with mold over the top before you get a layer fed off, divide it with rough lumber, and so have two. Try to get at least twenty-four feet, In height. Figure on a cubic foot per day for each cow or steer to be fed. In building outside of a building It Is need­ ful to have the silo double and large in space as a protection against frost. Frost will get in through one thickness, as in the case of matched lumber silo. Better use a rough hemlock, two thick­ nesses, with waterproof building paper between.--Agriculturist. Apple Tree Borers. It behooves apple growers to be on the lookout for the borer, which, If un­ checked, will ruin their trees. The parent of this borer Is a brown-and- white striped -beetle, about three- fourths of an inch long and' somewhat plump. It lays its eggs either at night or very early In the morning, and Is not easily seen against the apple trees. Washing the trees with an emulsion made of whale-oil soap and water, with enough carbolic acid to make It smell strongly, will keep the beetle away. But It Is safer to bind some clotn around the tree trunk to the height of two feet from the ground, and saturate that with the emulsion, as the odor will remain through the whole season, in­ stead of being washed away by rains, as It might be on the tree. Caro of Grain Drills. The grain drill Is much too expensive an Implement to be left to rust by neg- lcct In caring for it. The fertilizer drills are especially liable to this in­ jury, because they have held some acids which cannot help rusting what­ ever Iron they come In contact with. While In use the friction prevents rust formation, but if phosphate Is left in the drllf over night some injury must result. Worse still happens if the drill is left out. of doors to^be wet and rust­ ed by rains. We have known careful farmers who kept grain drills in good condition twelve to fifteen years. But they kept them under cover, and al­ ways greased the parts most exposed to rust before putting away. Mood's Pills cure nausea. Indigestion. 25c. Chinese W'ift Trade. ' The Chinese in Australia and else­ where send home to China for their wives, and bargaining Is quite a mat­ ter of business. The price of wives Is said to be falling, because the sup­ ply is exceeding the demand. The Chi­ namen, when they take a notion to marry, write to a matrimonial agent in Hong Kong. One letter was as fol­ lows: "I want a wife. She must be a maiden under 20 years of age, and must not have left her father's house. She must also have never read a book, and her eyelashes must be half an inch in length." There Is a regular tariff for these wives. The price of a Chinese woman delivered in Sidney Is $190, but two Chinese women only cost $200; there­ fore, the Chinese import the women in couples. The importer never sees the women before they arrive, and theu he generally selects the best-looking one. Th other is shown around a number of well-to-do Chinese, and after they have Inspected her she is submitted to what may be called public auction.

The primate had been told by the prince that he liked good historical En­ glish names that every one could un­ derstand. What better name, he thought, than Queen Elizabeth's. He mildly suggested "Elizabeth."^ "Qp no account,^ said the prince regent. "Char­ lotte, after your royal mother and the child's royal aunt." "Certainly not." The Duchess of Kent relieved her feel­ ings by a flood of tears. The Princess Mary kissed her and the baby cried. This spurred the 'mild archbishop. "What name is it your royal highness' pleasure to command?" "What's her mother's name?" "Victoria," answered the Duke of Kent. But his interven­ tion was met by an irate look from the regent. The Duke of York, seeing that the christening must be hastened for­ ward if it was to be got through with at all, took on himself to say, "Alexan­ dria Victoria." And so the Queen miss­ ed being known in history as Georgi- ana, a fitting name for the last of the Georgian dynasty, but less suitable for a glorious reign of sixty years than Victoria.--Contemporary Review.
