After several years of exorbitantly farge profits the manufacturers of bicycles have been compelled to very largely reduce their prices. The public actually refused to longer pay $100 for a machine which can be built for one-quarter that amount. A few makers smw this some time ago and put on the market cheaper machines at very greatly reduced prices which so cut into the business of the higher priced manufacturers that in pure self-defense they were compelled to bid good-bye to their old high prices. Why should not the same thine oc cur with type-writing machines? i'ney no doubt cost considerably less to produce than bicycles, and yet some of them are selling at the ridiculously high price of SI00. It is fair to infer that a machine which sells at $50 costs close to 31") to manufacture. If a few large department stores in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc., would arrange for large quantities to be manufactured for them by some one outside of a Trust the prices would come down to reasonable figures as have those of bicycles.

The heliograph, which broadly translated means to "write at a distance by the agency of the sun," is a machine to utilize the sun's rays, as telegraphic instruments do the electric current for long-distance communica- | tion. No wires, however, or batteries j are necessary, the transmission of the j signals being accomplished by an instrument -which may be used for either purpose. Roughly described, it consists of a highly-polished mirror, in front of which is a shutter, which is manipulated by a key somewhat similar to that used in telegraphing. The instrument is taken to some eminence, from wl.ich a clear and unobstructed view can be obtained. It is then focused so the rays of the sun strike directly on the shutter. When the key is depressed the shutter flies open and the rays shining on the brilliant reflector are flashed toward whichever point may have been settled on previously as the location of the second or receiving machine. Skilled manipulation of the key produces signals corresponding to telegraphic dots and dashes, which are so combined as to 1 ? i- - i -xa J ?t nr.. ^ limicuie tetters auu inures. xuc Morse alphabet was formerly employed for this purpose, but as its use was so common it wa9 deemed advisable to arrange one not' so easy to decipher. An observer stationed at an intermediate point between the two instruments could not see the flashes. It would be necessary for him to be on a level and direct line with the sending machine. Of course in rainy or murky weather it is out of the question to use such means of communication. The heliograph has been largely adopted of late by the United States signal service, both in the war and weather departments, and it is recorded that United States surveyors Iioto cont inf ollinronf moacnrroa 1 flfl i miles under favorable conditions. Felt Hai or Straw ? Which is the better head-covering on an excessively hot day, the straw hat or the -wide-brimmed sombrero? The majority have expressed, in practice, a preference for the straw hat, but on the plains of the far western states, wlfere the mercury sometimes rises to 114 degrees in the shade and remains j there all the afternoon, the sombrero , is a decided favorite. Wearing these, ; the cowboys move about under a ferocious sun as usnal. Instead of trying to keep the head cool by wearing a thin, porous straw hat, and allowing some imaginary cool breeze to sweep Ill UVC1 L11C aL'ttip, LUC CU? UUJ lClUgnizes the facts oi the situation and does not prepare for cool breezes where none exist. On the contrary, he protects himself from the direct rays of the sun, and keeps within his felt hat a small modicum of moist air which is cool by comparison with that outside. The principle, a Montana resident says, "is exactly that recognized by the Arabs of the desert and the Hindus of India, who pile up fold after fold of linen turban over their heads and between their skulls and the tropical sun. Of course, some of these cowboys may put a wet handkerchief inside their hats, but I believe they would hardly dare mount a pony on a very hot day if they bad only the thin straw hats generally considered so very necessary for warm weather." ?New York Post. A Fireproof Tree. A Government report from Colombia contains a description of a tree, known as the cliaparro, v.-hich is said to possess the quality of being fireproof. It grows on the vast plains of Colombia and the north of South America, called savannas, extensive districts which are parched with heat except during the rainy season. It has long been the custom to clear the ground for the new vegetation which springs up so luxuriantly on these plains after the rainy season, by means of fire?and such fires, miles in extent, kindled by the herdsmen, destroy everything in the shape of vegetation except the chaparro tree, which survives to afford i a welcome shade in an almost treeless f region. It is a small tree, seldom growing : to more than twenty feet in height, J with a girth of about three feet, and - it owes its protection from fire to tlie j nature of its hard, thick bark. The bark lies on the trunk in loose layers, which do not readily conduct heat to 1 the more delicate parts of the structure. It is a general idea among the - natives that this tree grows only where gold is abundant in the soil below. That it is common in auriferous districts is indisputable, but there is no ground for supposing that it does not grow elsewhere. /lothes. n t good coat.

Making Horses Eat Slowly. Many horses, especially if fed grain, eat it much too fast to get the most good from it. If they took longer time to masticate it there would be less grain voided in their excrement. A good way to compel slow eatiiTg 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 etraw. Cure For Pic Eatinc Sow.

It should be very carefully stacked, keeping middle very full, and covered with long grass or other protective material.?Epitomist. Dranght-IIorgef* on the Road. The strength of the draught horse enables him to make good time for a short sprint, despite the excess of weight he carries. But unless on soft dirt roads fast driving of draught horses should not be attempted, because the excess of weight makes the pounding of the horse's feet on the hard surface all the more severe. It is well known that heavy horses are quite apt to have defective feet. This we believe to be the cause. Kept to their appropriate pace ou the road and on the farm draught horses will live and do good service years after they are twenty years old. It is nervous worry that shortens life, rather than hard, muscular toil, both in horses and in men.?The Silver Knight. Worklnc Hatter. The object of working butter is to get the salt evenly distributed and to expel a portion of the brine. When it is worked but once, the butter-maker thinks it is worked enough, and packs it immediately. But there is, at that time, no way to tell whether the salt has been evenly distributed or not. A few hours afterwards he samples the butter, and finds it mottled, which will seriously aft'ect the selling price. He knows the cause is unequal salting, that the portions which have salt have changed to a deeper yellow, and the unsalted portions have remained of a lighter color. With the next churning he is determined to remedy this, and be sure to work enough. The chances are that this time it is worked too much, so that the grain is injured and the butter has a greasy appearance. But after practice and the exercise of good judgment these errors can be avoided to a great extent, and a fairly uniform and even product produced. An Easily-Made Crate. Our sketch shows an easy way of ' making crates for the handling of ap nles. nears. notatoes and other crons. A shallow grocery box has laths tacked to the inside, as shown in the diagram, with strips of the laths nailed about the top. Put two laths in each corner, SIMPLE FBDIT CRATE. to give strength to the upper part, and nail the ends strongly with wire nails. Shallower boxes than that shown iu the engraving can also be used to advantage. During the winter months, when the weather does not permit outdoor work, is a good time for making contrivances like this.?New England Homestead. Alfalfa. A most valuable bulletin of the New York station is that on alfalfa (No. 118). It gives a full account of the plant and many additional details as to method and time of seeding, cutting, making hay and ensiling, and discusses the yields, composition and feeding value of alfalfa as compared with other crops. u^iu^ U 1 V/UL1U|^ ^/UVUl than are the clovers, is thus better enabled to stand drought; and it is a perennial, continuing indefinitely when once established. It stands successive cutting well, giving four or even five crops of rich fodder in a single season. It is admirably adapted to supplement maize as a soiling crop, as it is rich in the nitrogenous elements which maize lacks. At the station it has been readily eaten by stock of all kinds, and has proven an economical addition to the rations. It will grow on a great variety of soil but will not stand stagnant water or a water level too near the surface. Considerable care is required in starting a field, as it is essential to secure a good stand in a mowing crop which in +n Inst fnv vpnrs Tllfi ?rrrmii(l should be plowed the fall before, and fitted well juHt before flowing the seed in the spring. Alfalfa has been quite handy at Geneva, but may not be so much farther north in the State. In a favorable year and on rich soil it may sometimes give one or even two good crops the first season; but usually no crop need be expected until the second year. The yield then increases for three of four vears. and may re main constant for ten jyears or more if weeds and grass do not gain a foothold. At the station the average yield from five crops of four cuttings each, was over seventeen tons of green fodder per acre. A Stack Cover. Herewith is presented a sketch of a stack oover whioh we saw a neighbor using and afterwards used ourselves with very satisfactory results, for upon removing the cover, the hay is found nice and bright clear up to the boards. There is usually a little damaged hay at lower edges of cover, but the lose here is light. HAYSTACK COVEB. Tho stack is made in tlie form of s rick of any desired length, as several lengths of boards may be nsed. II should be well balanced; the haj should, if possible, be pitched on tc stack from both sides. In topping out, bring up to sharp ridge and tramp well along centre. In good weather il is best to let stand a few days, then re-top and cover. Cover is made of boards 1x12 inches, ours were fourteen feet long. Bevel the edge of one board and nail it and another together in the form of a well-spread triangle, using lOd. nails. If not spread sufficiently, nail well and jump up and down on top of it. Have an attendant take one end, you take the other, carry up on ladders and lay on centre of stack. Carry another board up in same manner; or better, have some one pass it up to you, slip edge under first board, lapping two inches or less, aud nail. Now move around to opposite side of stack, put one up there, and so on till roof is wide as you want it. Pass wires over top and weight down heavily with rocks. Don't leave it any time without weighting, for the wind can remove a roof of this kind in much less time than it took to put it on. Watch the stack closely and don't let it get started tipping, ior u it uoea, the weight on top will pull it over rapidly.?The Epitomist. Farm and Garden Notes. Do not allow chaff to accumulate in the bottom of the manger. It becomes musty and sour, and bt.d for the horse. The horses ought to have a little salt with their feed once every day. This is a great deal better than a larger quantity once a week. Don't yell at your horses, and do not have a man on your piaca who can't control hia temper when ha tidling animals. Horses are highly sensitive, and the best results can only be obtained from them when their nervous i _ i._ J system is respecieu. Many orchardists have mistaken the common oyster shell bark-louse :for the pernicious scale. The scale of the bark-louse, under which the eggs fire protected during winter, is spray proof, the opportunity for successful attack being in spring, after the eggs hatch. Kerosene emulsion is the ammunition to use against these minute sap-suckers. A good milch cow has broad hind quarters and thin forequarters, thin and deep neck, pointed withers, head pointed between the horns,, flat and fine boned legs and fine hair. Choose one with udders well forward, wide apart and large enough to be easily grasped. A medium-sized cow will give more milk in proportion to the feed she eats. In most larra gardens it win oe xne easiest possible matter to raise a luxuriant second crop. |The way to proceed is to let the ground severely alone after early crops are gathered and the weeds will "volunteer" to produce an immense crop of seed. Of course you will have to work like a Turk next year in order to keep them down; but that's another thing. Potash is the mineral that is most needed for the potato crop. But it is much better distributed as a top dressing over the whole surface than applied with the seed potatoes in the bill. The potato roots very early in its growth and fills the soil between the rows. When mineral manures are plied in the hill, unless care is taken tr> mi* t.liem tlioroncrhlv with the soil. they may eat into the cut seed, and effectually destroy the germ. When used broadcast on the surface there is no danger of this. Some farmers have all confidence in the uprightness of their own particular bull, and let him accompany the cows to the pasture, whence all are driven up together at night by the children. Some men follow this plan too long, to their lasting regret. Bulls that are kuown to be vioious seldom hurt anybody, because they do not get a chance to do so. All valuable bulls are vicious at times. Tie or pen the bull in a comfortable place; make all secure, and you will know bettor where he and yourself "are at." It is not difficult to read a horse's character from his face. The tractable animal is broc.d and flat between the eyes; the bony ridge of his face dishes slightly from Ihe point where the face narrows towards the nostrils. His ears are well set, sensitive and far apart, with ft well-defined ridge of bone extending across the top of the head between iheru. Always look for this ridge in judging a horse. The eye should be large, clear and bright, with a proruinf^t ridge of bone along the inner ami upper ridge of the BockeC**^ WELL-TO-DO ROVERS. An Entire Family Traveling About the Country in Wagons. Recently a gypsy-like cavalcade : f paused for a brief sojourn in Washington's suburbs. But the occupants o1 ? the carriages were not real gypsies. j They were the well-bred family and I attendants of Captain Jack Hayden, f formerly of Cincinnati, on their j northeastward travels away from the $ warmer South. From here they moved on into Pennsylvania. Years ago Captain Hayden made up his mind to see this great country in his own way. So he fitted up a caravan of his own ; design and plan, and began a new life for health, strength, pleasure and : business. Since then he has traveled ] thousands of miles by wagon. The j[ establishment consists of Captair : Hayden, Mrs. Hayden, two eons, two attendants and ten horses. Captair Hayden is the picture of health, e good talker and ran over his story verj , good naturedly. He said to a reporter: "I have covered this country, ex- > cepting the New England States, prettj 1 thoroughly. Winter and summer wc |: I move about, just the same, managing ? to get into the extreme Southern ? States or Mexico during the coldesl ft months and working North with th< II sun. I have never known what a daj |J of sickness is. I absolutely do not * know what it is to feel out of sorts. -? At one time my wife suffered con- p siderably from malaria and rheumat- ll' ism, but this was when Bhe remained at our home in Cincinnati. A trip to the woods and fields, large and in- be cessant doses of pure air, and she's now all right again. All our vehicles f" are easy running and our horses good, r and we can make many miles in a daj I l_ if occasion requires." m, A big covered wagon is the sleeping | ; apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Hayden, | when in camp. It contains a hand- i some bed with the neatest linen and ? pillows, with lace and satin shams, i In this wagon there are also a hand- g some cabinet filled with fine china ware and the wardrobe of the party. | The arrangement of the doors and sidf | windows is such that thorough ventila- 5 - j i lion is eeuureu. t "How about your comfort during heavy rain storms, Captain?" J "We are never inconvenienced bj | even the heavy downpours. Both j wagon and tents are waterjJroof, and | we rest as dry as punk. As for light- | ning, I feel safer in the wagon or ten1 | than I would in a house, and I believe g I am so." "What is the prime object of your travels?" I "I buy and sell horses as the gyp- J sies do. I know I could do businese i if located in some city, but the health J consideration is an important one iD I the manner of life I lead. Our ex- 11 | penses for food for ourselves and horses, I U I horseshoeing, wear and tear, and re- R pairs, toll, etc., run about $30 a week." II The two sons and attendants sleep I I in the tent used as a dining room dur- |j ing the day. Two large shepherd doge L" guard the camp at night. The Cap- P tain is well read on all subjects and II his family is a bright one. He was | born in England, but he came to this [I country at an early age. He said in II conclusion: 8 "If more people knew the peal pleas- j| ares of such a nomadic life, easy, rest- U ful life, there would be hundreds liv- n ing in the woods the way we do. [l ! House living is not in it. I wonld not M I dwell in a cottage if it was given to fl I me free of charge. Give me a life in y the woods with plenty of spring water.'' I ?Washington Pathfinder.

I The Japanese manufacturers also ap- 1 pear to be having their labor troubles, which they are endeavoring to over- j come in unique fashion, as shown bj t the Consul's report, based on newspa I per accounts. The great activity ir \ the cotton spinning industry has led tc (I a demand for labor in excess of the I supply. One great mill raised wages, and thus enticed away labor from its / competitors. The latter replied by a ' boycott against the offending mill, and then sought forcibly to prevent the desertion of their operatives. Pickets were located at stations and along the river route, but notwithstanding the 'boycotted mill continues to draw away the laborers who manage to make their escape. Frnlt and the Complexion. Each year people grow to appreciate more fully the value of fruit, and eat | it, not as a luxury, but as a staple I article of food. Fruits are nourishing, I refreshing, appetizing and purifying, and consequently have effect upon the | health and the complexion. Yet there j are differences. Grapes and apples are j highly nutritious. Grapes usually j agree with the most delicate persons, L for they are so easily digested. Noth- ? j ing is easier to digest than a baked ap- j | pie, taken either with or without cream. { Orauges, lemons and limes are of great j ! ralue as a means of improving the ! jomplexion, and they are especially ! 5001I if taken before breakfast.
