Gladness Comes Xitha better understanding of the " transient nature of the many phys ical Ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual diS' ease, but simply to a constipated condi' tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is wny it is tne only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good neaitn. its Denenciai effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Call fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of D igs stands highest and is most largely jed ana gives most general satisfaction. A New Flying- Machine. A new Hying machine, similar in prinoipletothat of Lilienthal, has been devised by Herr Arthur Stenzel of Al tona, Germany, says the Popular Sci ence Monthly. It has parabolic wings in imitation of bird's wings, is driven by the power of compressed carbonic acid, and has been made to "go" when attached for safety to a guiding cable. With a force of one horse-power it has advanced three meters at each beat ing of the wines, of which there are one and three-tenths per second. With a horse-power and a half the machine may be made to fly free from the cable. The wines are remarkably elastic, and the inventor thinks that this is one of the factors of his success. They are made of unsoldered steel tubes and bamboo, and are covered with a spe cially prepared india-rubber cloth. The apparatus is directed by a rudder winch is not unlike a bird's tail. As yet no passengers have been carried on the ma hine. r "CHILDREN TCETHINC." j J Mm. Wisiw'slooTHJjroSYai-riiuulu always is mwd for children teething.

The previous session have been Philadelphia (inaugural), 1876; Paris (first congress), 1878; Boulogne. 1881 Berlin, 1885; London, 1888; Washing ton, 1891; Geneva, 1894. In each country special endeavors have been made to make the reunion as interest ing and as agreeable as possible, extend ing to visiting members every facility for studying the 'prominent physical and geological features of the country they were visiting. The actual congress is - to take place at the imperial Academy of Sciences. St. Petersburg, from August 29th to September 4th August 17th to 23d O. S. The questions to be discussed have not yet been decided upon, but whatever they may be, a room will be set aside for an exhibition of geological maps, profiles, books, collections, in stunients, etc., and arrangements have been mado so that all objects intended for this exhibition and addressed "Russia, St. Petersburg, Exposition du Congress tieologique International, will be delivered at St. Petersburg without being submitted to any cub toras inspection, and will be nnpaoked in the presence of a delegate of the or ganizing committee. Furthermore, suoh instructions have been given to the Russian representatives in foreign countries, that on presentation of the card of membership the vise of pass ports will be facilitated, and moreover, the same card shown at a Russian port or frontier will render the customs in spection as easy as possible. Then, again, all geologists who have paid their subcription will obtain a non-transfer able tioket, giving them the right to travel first-class on the Russian and Finland railway free of cost. The ex cursion arranged, both to precede and Bucceed the meeting, include a visit to the Ourals, or to Esthonia, or to Finland, before the meeting, and to the Caucasus and Crimea after the meeting, According to the deductions of a well- known, astronomer, we receive as much lght from the sun as could be emitted by 680,000 full moons. The expense of the Vatican at Rome would be covered if every Catholic in the world contributed three-quarters of a cent a year. Vaccination has just been introduced into Afghanistan by the advice of Miss Hamilton, an English physician, who is in attendance upon the ameer. In the tropical forests so large a pro portion ot the plants are of the sensi- lve variety that sometimes the path of the traveler may be traced by the wilted foliage. Only One! Not more than five men or women in a thousand are free from some form of Kidney, Liver or Bladder trouble, which Is certain to run into serious disease unless checked. Stop and Think ! that there is but one known remedy for these troubles I Ask any druggist, physician or friend what it Is, and be will tell you, 2 This great remedy stands ABSOLUTELY "at the top," and is so acknowledged by the most advanced thinkers of the world. This sugges tion is all you require I mm For Measuring Land, It to often desirable to measure a plot of ground for planting or to "run" the sides and euds of a plot to get a piece evenly plowed. To do this with a measuring pole, requires no little stoop ing, care to avoid error and considera ble time and effort. A device Is shown in tne accompanying illustration from the Orange Judd Farmer which Is easl ly made and easy to measure land with Four boards cut In the form shown are "halved" together at the ends and braced by crosspleces so as to form an octagonal wheel, the circumference be ing Just one rod and each side one eighth of a rod. Two handles are put on, plow handle fashion, and attached to the wheel by a pin at the center. It can then be wheeled In any direction lute fall and early winter fruits of vnr). ones that, when grown on heavier soli, should be kept lu good condition uutli spring. Straightening; Crooked Rtrenma. It does not matter much how crooked the little stream may lie tlint meanders through pasture land. But If It Is to be cut for buy, or esiwclally If It Is de sired to line the land for plowing. It Is Important to have the brook straight ened, o as to tuke as little room as pos sible. In niany places a straight, deep ditch, cut to lead off a sttvntn that only runs In the spring, may be profitably turned Into an imderdralii. The con venleuce of plowing over It and the land saved will make It pay. if J H m'A . MXiig HOMEMADE LAND MEASURER. and the revolutions counted for the rods passed over. Such a measurer is more easUy..uiado-,than a circular wheel, on which It Is quite difficult for the ordinary worker to strike such a circle, the circumference of which will be exactly one rod.' This frame Is also made and put together more readily than a circular wheel. Don't Overwork the Bova. Farmers are sometimes very Inconsid erate In the treatment of their eons. Without meaning any harm -they Im pose labor upon boys which should be the work of men. Now, the physical energies of a growing boy have already an Important work allotted to them, that of building up a strong, healthy organization. The vital force cannot be exerted In making muscles and bone and at the same time be expended Jn a hard day's work In the corn field. We have seen many Instances of boys be ing stunted and dwarfed, because they were overworked by an inconsiderate father. When work Is crowding In the fields there Is strong temptation to util ize every muscle, the willing boy Is Im pressed Into service to provide means for the growing hogs, at the expense of his own growing body. This Is all wrong. A farmer would not for an In stant think of harnessing his 6-months-old colt and hitching him to a plow, and why should not the growing boy have the some thoughtful conskleratlon? Don't overwork the boys. They are all the material we have to make men of. Market Basket. Whlfewaahlifr the IIenhone. It Is hardly worth while to paint the heuhouse, which Is usuully a cheap structure, made warm and comforta bio, but not stylish. But at the time of spring cleaning It should never fall to get a good whitewashing, both iuslde and outside, except the roof. It will destroy all the smaller lice and all the eggs that would hatch if this or oil were not applied to them. The white wash Is an excellent thing In winter also, as It makes the henhouse lighter. Fo-t Water. Water In which soot hns been dissolv ed has always been a favorite with flor ists for manuring plants, and also at the same time keeping ofT Injurious In sects. It has a slight smell of sulphur, to which doubtless Its power to repel Injurious Insects Is due. Some ammonia lu the water makes It much more effec tive as a fertilizer. The soot Is pure carbon, and has considerable power to absorb ammonia, which It will give out only as the roots of plants surround the carbon thus charged and absorb It. rower fur Kleclrlo Cars. The directors of the llunover (Ger many) triimway system have published n important reort, in which they nar rate their experiences with accumulat ors as the source of tlio power for their cars. In Hanover both overhead wires and accumulators have been used fur a considorahlo time, so that the managors are in a poxition to institute a reliable comparison. Taking evoything into account, they pronounce in favor of the storage eel!. The cost of maintenance they say lias been determined with the utmost exactitude possible for the year 1896, and the managers reach the con clusion that the additional cost of ac cumulators does not exceed one gros clion, or .3 of a cent per mile. Conse quently, it has been decided that the entire system shall, as soon as the re quisite arrangements can bo made, be driven by secondary butteries.

Wire netting Is so commonly used now for the yarding of fowls that some plan for properly putting up the fence Is Important. Ordinarily this fencing Is slack and very untidy.

A strip of board has four or more hooks arranged on one side to hold the roll firmly and to stretch each section as It Is unrolled. A. pulley attached to the following post draws the netting tightly past the pre ceding post, when it Is secured firmly with staples and the work advanced to the next post. American Agriculturist. 1 (Zh&e3Wi f Contlnnoaa Y.bt Layin?. No breed of hens will lay an egg each day for any very long time without a period of rest. This Is true even of what are called the non-sitting varie ties. There are a few days rest, gen erally, though sometimes not more than one or two between different set tings. It is really surprising to see a small hen and some of the best layers are usually of small breeds producing her weight In egjrs within three or four weeks. For Its bulk, the egg furnltihes the most nutritious food that a man can eat Making Horsea Kat Slowly. Many horses,, especially if fed grain, eat It much too fast to get the most good from It. A good way to compel alow eating is to mix with the grain a few clean pebbles, that will oblige the horse to gather his food slowly. A still better way is to grind the grain and mix the meal with three times Its bulk of cut hay, or twice Its bulk of straw. A Tub 81 to. In constructing a tub silo It Is usuel to cut out every other space between the hoops for the doors. A silo 10 feet uign would neeti but two doors, anil these should lie put In as shown In the cut. The staves ot the silo are put lu place; the stave at one side of where the opening for the door is to be should lie cut aliout one half off, so that the saw can be Insert ed when the silo Is erected, and the re mainder of the door sawed out without making an auger hole. Saw the door A tub silo. at a bevel, making the opening larger on the Inside, so the door will (It snugly in place when press ed home by the ensilage. The edges of the staves should be beveled, so that when set In place they will form a tight joijit along their entire edge. The silo need not necessarily be perfectly tight when empty, nor need It le water tight when the filling commences. The moist ure of the en-sllage will cnuse the wood to expand so that the silo will become tight. A silo 15 feet In diameter and 10 feet high would hold fifty four tons of ensilage. Rural New-Yorker u H Heavy 'oil Beat for Frnlt. Owing to its earllness and the ease with which It is cultivated, It was nat ural that for a long time sandy soil should be preferred by the fruit grow er. But It is becoming understood that well underdrained, heavy soils can be worked nearly or quite as early as sandy soils, and these are much richer In the mineral elements of plant food that are essential in perfecting fruit of any kind. In many of the winter fruits the easiness of ripening on light soil becomes a disadvantage, as it makes Farm Note. Keep the very best of the hay for the work teams. A bnd disposition Is a poor recom mendation In a horse. With all growing stock Increase the feed as the animal requires It. Hogs will keep healthier if too many are not kept together. The careful farmer can always breed a better quality of beast than he can buy. The object of mulching during the summer Is to maintain moisture lu the soil. Good whit bran Is a good flesh grow er and milk making material to feed to stock. More horses are injured by hard driv ing ou an empty stomach than iu any other way. By not allowing the weeds to grow there will lie no necessity for killing them later on. Be on the lookout for the white cater pillar. They are the parent of the cab bage worm. Have everything In readiness so that the harvesting can he done as soon as the crops are fully ready. As a general rule the earlier varletio of grain, fruits or vegetables are not as productive as the later ones.
