Acute Hearing of Horses.
It is well known that horses can heai
deep sounds which men cannot.- For
days previous to the earthquake in the
Riviera of Italy the horses there showed
every symptom of abject fear, which
continued without any change of
character till the fury of the convulsion
broke forth. But not till a few second!
before the earth began to quake did
human beings hear any sounds, while il
is extremely probable that the horses
heard the subterranean poises for two or
three days previously. -3-Chicago Times.

COPPER STEWPANS;
The reason why copper stewpans arc
considered desirable is that in the first
place they are more durable, far outlast
ing any other; and secondly, being
thicker, they cause the heat to be more
uniform, hence they are preferred by our
"cordons bleus." On tho other hand,
they require to be frequently retinnea,
and become a source ot danger unless
kept perfectly clean and bright inside;
For this reason, doubtless: they are much
less used than formerly, which is very
detrimental to the look of the Kitchen
dresser, as 1 'bright coppers give an air
of cheeriness and well being to a kitchen
that is very attractive. New York Tribune.

TREND Or FEMALE THOUGHTS". j
The latest indes 6f the British Museuni
furnishes sorde interesting data as showf
lag that while women, as a subject of
interest, as a problem to be solved, as
possible outcome, was never of more inv
portancc than during the past . ten
yeari, the aspect of her case changed
materially in that time.' These indexes
are issued every five yesfrs and include
the subjects of all books published in
every civilized country during tne pre
vious five years. A comparison of the
two indexes issued during the past de
cade shows that works on the social po
sition of women increased in the- last
half of the decade, as compared with the
lirst, from mty-tour to seventy-two; on
education of woman, from eighteen to
twenty-five; on employments of women.
I rom nineteen to twenty-seven; on wo
men's club?, from three to ten. : Dress
reform, oa the contrary,- decreased from
seventeen to four, and works on, dress,
dressmaking, needlework and embroid;
ery, seventy-eight to sixty-four. These
figures are more significant from the fact
that books on tailoring in its higher as
pects, as mdicatea by euch a title as
fmlosopnical WorK ot.. ncKie on
Cutting Gentlemen's Dress' increased
from twelve to twenty -three. Perhaps
the most significant decrease ithat from
116 to seventy in works on marriage.
t rom this it may be argued tnat women
ot to-day are mucn more interested in
questions of education and employment
and of making for themselves a place in
the world than they are in dress, fashion
or any feminine vanities, and that mar
riage alas ! dimcuit as it is to believe, is
having less place in their thoughts than
of yore.
TO CLEAN WHITE FURS.
Very few people know how to clean
white furs, and it may, therefore, be of
interest to learn the method reconmend
ed to a Bazar-writer by the famous St.
Petersburg (Russia) furrier, Oubasus.
Th'e furs must first be washed with tallow
soap and lukewarm water, and then
rinsed with a weak solution of
crystals of soda, all tue soapsuds being
removed from the fur with a hard brush.
Should there be dark stains, such as are
made by carriage grease or other fat sub-
stances, on the fur, it will be necessary
to rub them, with benzine a few hours
before washing it. It sometimes hap
pens that in spite of this treatment the
furs retain a yellowish hue; this can;
however, be removed by bleaching them
in the following manner: While still
damp the articles must be immersed in
very cold water, in which four pounds
of sulphuric acid ot natron have been
diluted. After an hour's soaking, four
pounds of salic acid are added to the
m xture, which must be well stirred.
Whilst the furs are in the fluid the ves-
1 containing them should be tightty
covered, so as to exclude the action of'
the air on the acids. Lastly, the furs
must be rinse 1 several times with pure
cold water. Boston Transcript.

A5GLO-SAXOS GIRLS.
a ew ttnnga are more noticeable at as
semblies in these islands "of fair women
and brave men," as the post says, than
tho iniprovin? (fcysique of the Anglo-
Saxon girls. Whatever class may be the
subject of observation in this regard, the
same feature seems ,t prevail tmoiighout.
If Load's cricket ground, for, example
be visited at the time of a great gather
ing of the aristocracy, as on the Oxford
and Cambridge criGket match, or the
Eton and Harrow match the one tting
which cannot fail to attract attention is
the remarkable predominance of tall and
divinely fair girls who are to be seen
gracefully strolling over the grounds
during the intervals between the in
nings. Then if the scene be changed
and the observer makes his -way into the
pirlor of middle-class persons, the same
prevailing "tallness" of the fair attend
ants will again meet his gaze. Thus
abundant evidence is forthcoming that
this is by no means an isolated feature
of the maidens ot the United Kingdom,
but that it prevails, on the contrary
throughout all classes. Judging, how
ever, from the" prominence, which it has
gained duf ing the past three years, there
is quite the possibility that it will de
velop in time into a racial characteristic.
The women of ancient Lacedaemon,' we

tions, however, was given, so to speak,
as a matter of business, in view of the
warlike virtues which were required to
be fostered by the race. Kut England

is, therefore, not only a performance of
esthetic necessity but of the greatest
sanitary importance as well. It is not
going too far to say that there is just as
much need of classes in the hygienes of
cleaning and dusting as there is of cook
ing classes. ;
The simple displacement of dust isn't

than the possession of many books now

only when it has been carried out of the

slowly and with care not to throw the
particles of dust up in the air,- whence
they will settle again instantly some
where else.
The utility of the feather-duster ex
cept for walls is to be doubted, and even
for walls a soft cloth is better. A thin
silk cloth-or a piece of cheese-cloth
makes a good duster. So does a soft,
firm woolen cloth, but linen and cotton
flannel leave lint behind them. One
woman, uses all of her worn-out silk
stockings for dusting and still another
makes loose mittens out ot old woolen

to keep furniture from looking dingy is
the following: Two tables poonfula

and good vegetable oil may be used.
This, should be well tubbed into the
wood and then a last polishing given

TEACHING HORSES TO STAND. !
An experienced horseman gives the
following as his method of training
horses to stand without being tied ; After
young horses have once become bridle
wise. I first endeavor to teach them the
meaning of every word I say to them.
This is not a difficult matter, provided
too many words are not used at once.
-The first step is to adopt some words,
at the sound of which they arp to under
stand they must stop. Words which are
easy to speak, and which can be made
emphatic.should be chosen, such as "ho,
"whoa," etc., and every time the word
is spoken he should be male to obey it
fully. Carelessness in regard to this mat
ter will do more to undo what has been
taught than anything else.
When a ; horse fully understands the
meaning 01 the word which you use
when you wish him to Btop and stand
still, the greater part of the work is ac
complished. Ho can be trusted with
safety while you leave him a 6hort time.
lake no risk: and to make the wonc
more effective, it is a good plan for two
to get into the vehicle to which a horse
is h inched, and having stopped after a
short drive, one should get out and leave
him at a short distance. Should the
hoise then i start, the one in the vehicle
can then draw the lines suddenly, and
thus,prcvent his getting away.
There Will be no trouble in teaching
any horse with - an ordinary amount of
good common sense to stand as long as
vou desire without being bitched, if a
little judgment is used in attempting it.

THE CHURN ABILITY. OP CREAM.
not only imperfect creaming is a
source of great loss by gravity methods

feet churning is a puzzling problem. At
times it taxes the utmost ingenuity of
the butter maker to get as much butter
out of the cream as the tests show he
should get. At a farmer's institute last
eprng, Commissioner Tupper had a
sample of " cream with him which the
creamery could not convert into butter,
It had been churned as usual in the test
churn, then in all the usual ways the
butter maker could think of. The test
with Professor Patrick's apparatus showed
that the butter fat was there, although
churning would not get it out.
So far as we now recall, all the serious
trouble we had in farm dairying was
with cream from cows far advanced in
lactation, and no fresh cow's cream to
mix in.
But the thoroughness with which tho
fat is recovered by the churn has varied
in our practice. Much is still shrouded
In mystery. The temperature for best
results in churning varies with tha ripe
ness of the cream and with the feed.
uotton seed when led to cows makes a
high churning temperature necessary.
Sweet cream demands several degrees
lower temperature than sour cream

experiments, but there are many cases

Making- Una Cotton.
The torpedo station at Newport, R. I.,
is hard at work, under the direction of
Professor Charles E. Monroe, manufac
turing gun cotton for the United States
Navy. The Government prefers this ex
plosive to nitro-glycerine, dynamite and
explosive gelatine. Gun cotton is 'made
by immersing dry cotton in a mixture of
three parts of sulphuric acid and one
part of concentrated nitric acid for
twenty-four hours, when it ia removed.
The acid is then pressed out, and the
mass converted into pulp, just as rags
are for making paper, and the pulp is
thoroughly washed, and then may be
pressed and molded into any shape de
sired by means of a hydraulic press.
Early experiments in the use of gun
cotton were discouraging from the fact
that it exploded without apparent caue,
but later investigation demonstrated that
this danger was due to the fact that the
acid used In the manufacture was not en
tirely squeezed out, and resort to the
pulp, making process succeeded in elimi
nating the last traces of it. As prepared
ior the United States service torpedo,
the gun cotton is pressed Into cylindrical
disss three and one-half inches in diame
ter and two inches in thickness, j The
Centre id piiced for the insertion of the
mercury fulminate detonator. The gun
cOtton is wet for safety when put into
the torpedo-cases," and in this state can
be even carelessly handled. It is said to
be safer than gunpowder. Not even fire
explodes ft as long as the cotton remains
wet; The Newport factory turns out
5000 pounds of the stuff at a time, but
the process of making it appears to be
rather slow. An order for 20,000 pounds

Sorrel
At Batesvillc; Ark.,
affray brought into notice a woman
known as "Sorrel Sue. She always ap
peared in public riding a sorrel horse.
It was believed she belonged to a gang
who stole horses.
A surgeon who was summoned to at
tend one of her "pals" who had been
woundea in a row, mistook his way and
wandered into Sue's cabin. Befcre he
could be hustle 1 out he saw things
which roused his suspicions. These he
reported to Sheriff .Timcoe, who, with a
po se, managed to surround the den of
horse thieves, capturing Sue and two of
her gang, lie found that Sue had ap
plied tbe means of bleaching her own hair
to that of her horses. When the posse
entered, they found a hnrso enveloped in
a jacket made ot rubber coats, being
treated to a4alphur vapor bath. The ap
phances were very ingenious, and worked
very well. ' A black or bay horse would
be sto'en and rob into the bleachery.
After ita color was changed and its mane
and tail trimmed, the disguise became se
pronounced that without any great risk
the ailimat could be taken in daj light
through the very district from which it
had been stolen. It was Sue's business1
to not only superintend the bleaching.
but also to ride the animal out of tht
country. The Spokesman.

A Veteran ot the Mexican War.
Samuel L. McFadin, whose portrait
appears above, is a proraioert citizen of
Logins port, Ind., and one of but seven
teen surviving veterans of a company of
ninety-two yourg men who left that city
forty-five years ago for the seat of War
in Mexico. He now holds the position
ot Marshal of National Association, and
although well advance! in years is still
hearty and hale. In writing of his
health he says! I hid been troubled
for a long time with Rheumatism, Kid oey
and Livtr Complaint and could, hardly
get around. Suffered great pain night
and day. After trying many different
kinds of medicines and finding no relief,
at lat through the advice of a friend I
purchased Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root
from one of our leading DruggwtA, B. F.
Kealing, and must say it has helped me
wonderfully, as I now walk without
pain.
It is the only medicine that has done
me any good, and has been a great ben
efit in invigorating and building up my
system, greatly assisting the Uver, kid
neys and digestive organs. This is tbe
first recommendation I hate ever given
a medicine and it affords me pleasure to
call the attention of the pnblie to the
merits of this wonderful specific'. Those
who try Swamp-Root have generally first
employed the family physician, or used
all the prescriptions within their reach
without benefit. As a latt resort, when
their case has become chronic, the symp
toms complicated and their constitution
run down, then they take this remedy,
and it is just such cases and cures that
have made Swamp-Root famous and
given it a world-wide reputation.

Sheridan's Condition Powder
A xreak or mature, Born Earless.
Eeekiel ads, who died in Greene
County, New York," in tho spring of
1885, was surely a fit subject for a dime
museum, even though he never descend
ed to that level, says tho Wheeling (W.
Va.) Register. Strictly speaking, Eads
was in several respects a most remarka
ble ereature. He was born without ears.
not even having apertures where the
ears should have been. His deformity,
sad as it was, may be said to have been
partly alleviated by the curious construc
tion of the inner portion of his head.
which enabled him to hoar common con
versation through his mouth. j
When addressed he would instantly
open his mouth and readily give answers
to interrogations put to him in an ordi
nary tone of voice. But Exekiel's lack
of ears was not his only distinction. He
had a heavy crop of black hair spotted
with white, -the spots themselves being
in exact shape of human ears, feet, hands,
etc. When he was quite a small baby it
was noticed that his black hair was in
terspersed with oddly shaped spots ol
white, which, however, did not take on
their distinctive shapes until after he had
passsed his fifteenth year. 1
. When Mr. Eads died he left one son,
aged forty-five, whose hair was as black
as coal, not a single gray hair being dis-
