Dawson City's Isolation. It is a carious and almost anomalous position that Dawson City occup er There are few if arty towns of its size In all the world so locked away from the outside world for nine months in the year. Think of it! A city of 10,000 souls, and the center of a dis trict of 30,000, a live, busy-city, with streets thronged vith men, its lug warehouses, Its growing Interests and civic problems, shut away entirely at least nine months in the year, during those seasons of the year when the Ice is forming and breaking, and with only occasional and laborious com i ii ti tration during the three months.

Queer Belief About Seven. .So numerous are the queer beliefs concerning the number seven that a narration of them all would fill a vol nine, but we may mention a few of them. From the very earliest ages the seven great planets were known und ruled this -world .md t.hc dwellers In it, and their number entered into every conceivable matter that con cerned man. There are seven days in the wrek. "seven holes in the head for the master stars are seven." seven ages both for man and the world in which he lives. There were seven material heavens, and In the under world described by Dante the great pagan dead who were not good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell re posed in a seven-walled and seven gated city. There UTO seven colors in the spectrum and seven notes in the diatonic octave, and the "leading" note* of the scale ls the seventh.

LOOMIS & HYMAN. Tiffin. Ohio. FOR FARM ?ND GARDEN. Early Maturing Hogs. Young pork is always best as well as]:he most cheaply produced. Un less ibo animal is wanted as a breeder it isuot usually kept until a year old. The breeds that mature early will jiake more pork at less cost at six to eight mouths old than those that keep on growing two or three years aud at tain very heavy weights But it is still better to keep a breeding sow of some of tho coarse, large-boned hogs and then grow litters of jugs from her when mated with some of the snisti breeds that mature earliest. The half breeds will make more pork than will the thoroughbreds. Water Hornes Frequently. It is not natural for the horse to go long without a drink of water. His stomach is small aud caunot hold a water supply for a long time. Water ing morning, noon and night when at work in summer time is none too often. If the work is very heavy two table spoonfuls of oat meal stirred in the pail will make the horse * nk better, and will also prevent so much cold water from injuring his stomach. It is a mistake to suppose that a horse or any other domestic animal prefers to drink water only a few degrees above the freezing temperature. If it is lukewarm the horse will drink more freely and the witter will be less apt to injure him. Oil Meal for Fattening HORS. One of the best variations of the all-corn diet for fattening hogs is some old process linseed meal, or if this cannot be procured, use cottonseed meal with some oatmeal not bolted. All the linseed and cottonseed meals contain some oil, and to this extent are laxative. But all the cottonseed meal made now lias the oil so squeezed out of it that it is unsafe to feed it to young pigs, and it eau ouly be fed to old-hogs in very small quantities, and then not very safely. It will need some roots to go with it. But these should be given any tray when corn is fed to hogs, as the starch of corn is hard to digest. Besides the oil the oil meal contains some nitrogenous nutrition which makes tho feed n bet ter balanced ration. Spraying Potatoes for Blight. The past season has thoroughly de monstrated the value of the bordeaux mixture for blight on potatoes, and it has quite as thoroughly shown that the uso of paris green and london pur ple, alone or mixed with land plaster, has no good effect. Potato growers should bear this fact iu mind next season and use tho bordeaux mixture freely, not only on potato vines, but other vegetables and fruit trees where foliage diseases of any kind appear. Without question it is one of the most valuable implements for ure on the farm, and Uie bordeaux mixture can be easily and cheaply mada at home. So there seems to be no reason why the blighted, scabby potatoes that have been put on the market for the past two years should not be replaced by the fair, smooth specimens of the days when scab and blight were prac tically unknown, or at least not for midable. . Straining: Milk, There are some points'about strain-' ing milk thai are not generally thought of, and therefore the milk is not wholly cleared of its bacteria. In the first place it ?3 important that tho milk should be put through tho strainer and set whore its cream is to riso as soon as possible after it comes from the cow. It often accumulates bac teria very rapidly if left in stables ex posed to foul odors. Besides, if left long some of the cream will rise aud will be so mixed with the milk that what does not cliug to the strainer cloth or wire will not rise as cream a?aiu. The strainer should be thor oughly washed by dipping it first in cold water and moving it rapidly through both ways, so that bacteria will not adhere to the underside, as they are apt to do if the rinsing water is merely poured on the strainer from above. Then repeat this process with water pretty near scalding heat. In that way if there are any bacteria on the strainer they will be killed. M nieblas St rafi berries. The plants should be covered with some coarse material jusv before tho severest weather comes on iu the fall. It may be applied before the ground freezes or after it is frozen solid. If covered before, the mulch should be dropped off at the ends of tho rows and carried onto the bcd with forks. After the ground is frozeii, you eau drive anywhere, depositing the ma terial where most con renient to spread. The entire surface should be covered just deep enough to entirely hide the plant. When applied the straw will be about three inches deep. Bains and snow will causo it to pack down to an inch. Strawberries will not smother, no matter how deep the cov ering, it it is not applied too e:irly in the fall or left ou too late in the spring. Bemove the covering and put it in the paths between the ro-vs about May J, or as roon as gro\\lh starts. Just before the berries begin to ripen, go through the fields aud pull all weeds and place the straw carefully about the plants sa as to cover all the surface not occupied by the plants.-Orange Judd Farmer. Ad vantages of Fall Flowing:. Nearly every farmer who has been caring for the farm for a series of years will have seen the benelits of fall plowing in many ways while run ning the farm. There may be some soils where the benefits are not seeu so plainly as upon others, but nearly all sorts are in some way improved by being worked in the fall. If the soil is stiff and clayey, nothing seems to improve it so much as fall plowing. Lot fall plowing be practised each season for a series of years, and a liner and more mellow soil will surely follow. If a good dressing of light, strawy manure, such as horse stable dressing, cnn bc applied, spread broad cast upon the soil and.plowed under, so much the better. But if the farmer has not the dressing, plowing alone will help to improve the soil surely. By turuing up the soil late in tho fall the action of the frost will servo to render it liner in texture. Freezing and thawing are among the great agencies va preparing the suil for better production. Stiff clay soil is a poor soil for plants to do good work in, even if it be made rich with dressing; the roots cannot penetrate a hard soil and poor crops are the re Bj?fc Every farmer who has had a p. ucticul knowle-1 go by treating such soils cannot fail to seo this, and they must work with this point iu view if they hope to succeed, that a gradual deepening of such soil by ditching and fall plowing are the vcr'' best methods to apply. No soil can produce even fair crops while is is in a cold and hwd state. Then let us devote our atten tion to making an improvement. We must work to render the soil fine, and to take the surplus w ater from it by ditching and plowing. Let freoziug and thawing come in to help us. Nothing eau be cheaper than this in the farm economy. We have treated soils such as have been mentioned above many times, and these methods have proved satis factory in every case. We hope that all farmers who may have, such soils to work will try this mode of treat ment and report results.-A. E. Faught iu American Cultivator. Feeding Hoirs in Fields. The feeding of hogs in the field ie becoming more in practice every year. Putting them in pens ou a floor will no doubt have a tendency to put flesh on more rapidly, as it deprives the hogs of exercise, which is necessary to good health and better pork. Then, pen feeding requires more labor in taking everything tb the peu to feed besides the daily denning. More manure is wasted around a hog jjen than auy other place. Owing to its offensiveness and being filled with corn cobs, which makes it trou blesome to handle,it is left to lie right where it is thrown out of .the pen. While this manure is of the best.I be lieve there is tho least attention paid to saving it of auy manure we have. When hogs are fed in the field all this good manure is saved with the least trouble. There is no drawing ont and spreading, as tho hogs have done this work better than it can be done by hand. While you may add a few more pounds on the hog with the same amount of grain by pen feeding, this will-bo more than overcome by the saving of manure and the decreased amount of labor required. I don't believe in having a lot on purpose to feed in and keep it for such, year after year, with nothing else in it. rbis would be an entire waste of manure. Every farmer should have some small fields and change them for feeding purposes. Where hogs were fed last year should bo put into some crop this year. They may be fed with profit on a clover sod that you intend to plow for corn next year. Do this feeding on the poor places af the field, and make them as rich as the richest places. If you hnve n. few hogs, rm olcl . wagen can be loaded and driven where you wish to feed, changing places each load. If yon haven't the old wagon, a store box sot up high enough so that the hogs won't got into it will do. If yon have a large number of hogs, a portable corn crib can be built on runners and drawn with a team any where you wish. We havo one of this kind that holds about a hundred bush els, made of rough boards. Our man made it in a couple of hours. It is just a large box, made strong enough to hold a hundred bushels, with no roof over it. One end is made to take out, so you can use a scoop from the start when you commence feeding. Then the end can bo placed back again. But how about the water in those fields with so many hogs? Yes, they must have water, and all they want of it, and water that is fresh and clean. Well, we fill barrels and draw them out to tim'? rm o afnuA boat, enonjorli at ouepart ol salt anti three tu U.MICO, I and cover it over to keep the rain out. You will be surprised at the amount they will eat. It keeps them in healthy condition. If the weather is hot, some kind of place should bo fixed to shelter the hogs from the sun. Cheap affairs of some kind that will suggest themselves to the farmer can easily be arranged. -I. N. Cowdroy in Farm, Field and Fireside. THE SURGEON'S DISCOVERY. Found That Irishmen Hail Calloused Spots on Their S Ii on hi orx. A young physician, some years ago appointed as interne at one of the hospitals in Cincinnati at one time made a discovery that nearly made him famous. While in attendance at this hospital a scaffolding erected foe convenience of workmen at a building in course ci erection in Cincinnati broke down injuring seven Irishmen. The young disciple of Esculnpius was in the receiving room when the patrol wagons brought in the men. In examining one of tho men for in juries he discovered a calloused spot on the right shoulder. He thought nothing of this, until looking over tho second mau, on whom ho discovered the same .;pot. He then went over the entire batch of injured men, and found the samo mark on each shoul der. . Concealing his discovery from his superiors, the young man went about all day with visions of fame floating through his brain. In every conceiv able way he managed to obtain a glance during the day at each man's shoulder, to be sure the calloused marks wore still there. That night ho locked himself se curely in his bedchamber and prepared a paper, in which at great length ho dilated upon the discovery he had made. He wrote pages upon the pe culiar structural formation of the Irishmen's bodies, aud stated that, al though in descending generations pos sibly the spot would be nearly oblit erated so as to become almost unno ticeable, yet he had no doubt that if each nnd every Irishman in the world was examined, traces of this calloused spot could be lound on the shoulder. In the morning, bursting with his newly acquired information, ho took one of the physicians of the institu tion into his confidence. The physi cian listened to the young mau with an air of interest, and theu asked: "On what shoulder docs this cal loused spot occur ?" "The right, one-the right!" ex claimed tho 3'oung man. "And I am sure it can bc found on all Irishmen's shoulders." "So am I, answered the older man. "All Irishmen that are hod-carriers !" A Living Illustration.

A FIN DE SIECLE EQUINE. "Kit!le" "VTn* n Victim of Fashion, and Now AVeatM Fnlso Hair. It is not given alone to woman, who would make herself more beautiful with abundant tresses, to rest while her back hair hangs on the door knob. On the contrary there is a petted sorrel mare in San Francisco which is bedded down carefully every night by Morris P. Sweet, a dairyman, while her switch, or rather her tail, hangs up with the harness. Her present owner has had her for several years, and so deftly has he dressed "Kittie'?" back hair that he has driven her over all the streets of San Francisco without attracting attention until she fell un der .be lynx eyes of Matthew Mc Cui rie, assistant secretary of the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. With his attention turned all ways at all times, McCurrie noticed what he supposed to be harness sewed to thc hide of tho poor bruto. Upon in vestigation he was sorry that there was not a special reward of merit for tho man who had, at infinite pains, provided a good, bushy switch that this poor brute might be adequately armed against the common enemy. After Sweet bought the horse with the sad-looking stump, where a tail should have been, he made several trips to tho boneyard before he man aged to get a sorrel tail of just the proper hine. To it he had enough hide attached to reach the crupper straps. When it was new there.was hide enough to lace well around the stump, but it has since been tanned and shrunken by the wind and weath er until now a bit of scrutiny shows some of the lacing at the sides. From a utitarian standpoint the tail is quite as useful as if every hair of it was rooted to the stump.

People driving between Sau Diego and Old Town saw it coming across tho bay and thought it was an airship. It passed directly in front of au old couple, and tho horse reared and sat j on his haunches whilethe thing twist ed and sputtered and shed its fire.

It is a familiar fact that fishes can not live without air, of which all sweet water contains inore or less, and in cold "'-mates fishes sometimes dio for W-...C of air in ponds that are frozen over iu winter; they exhaust the air contained in the water and not enough more can get in to sustain life. The frozen over waters in which fish don't get air enough to support life aro likely to be smaller ponds with a gravel border all around, where the i-je can form unbroken clear to the edge, making a complete covering over the water and practically sealing it up. If there is vegetation around the po lld at the edge of it, shrubbery or trees or plauts dippiug in the water, such vegetation is likely to supply some air, for as the ice settles it cracks and breaks about the stalks of thig vegetation and thus" leaves places where air can get in. Sometimes in small sluggish bodies of water such as park ponds, holes are cut in the ice to give the fishes bo neath air.-New York Sun, K Meddling Phonograph.

Perhaps it is not generali known that the incandescent electric lamp ls essentially a device "which transforms electricity Into light, but mostly into lieat, says the Xew York Press. As ls well known, the carbon filament of the lamp is a substance offering great re sistance to the passage of the current, ind the product of this reslstence ls light and heat. It is an instance of tho translation of ono form of energy into another. The light thus produced is. after all, only a small percentage of thc energy manifested-some 5 or G per cent at the most. Tho fact ls important, bearing In mind a common notion that the elec tric incandescent lamp is free from tho lient rays, lt is true that thc lamp, when working, is not comparable with i flame of naked light, out at the same time thc heat evolved is such as may load 1o ignition. This point is deserv ing of emphasis, because the incandes cent electric lamp is used for pur poses of Illumination in .shops with out regard to the possibility-even probability-of fancy goods which hap pen to be contiguous being fired. Indeed, so firm is tho Idea that tho incandescent electric lamp is free from heat that. It ls frequently to be found burled In a mass of easily Ignited and highly inflammable material. This Is a mistake, and care should be exer cised with the electric lamp in Its ap plication Ju this connection. But, of course, the risk ls not so great as whore naked lights are employed. It has been found by experiment that, on Immersing a slxtecn-candle-power lamp (100 volts pressure) in a half pint of water, the water boils within an hour, and in proportionstoly less time when a rhirty-two-cnndle-power lamp is substituted. if, again, the lamp ls buried In cot ton wool, the wool soon begins to scorch, and ultimately bursts into flame.

Our Brussels correspondent says: A truly wonderful timepiece is now on view in Brussels. The inventor, M. Noll, spent five years in its construc tion, and bas beaten all previous rec )rds in clock making. This structure, which stands fifteen feet high, repro luces the facade of a building of the early Renaissance period. The clock, in addition to its ordinary functions, marks the four seasons, as well as the chief Church festivals, fixed and mov able, all of which are heralded in to the minute by automaton figures, choral services, church music, or the song of birds, according to the sea son. A feature of the mechanism is the hourly procession of twelve apos tles before the figure of Christ, and the morning and evening ciiant of monks, who are summoned from the cloister by the monastery bell, tolled by.the sexton in view of the public. A representative of the earth's course round the sun, anet of "the moon round the earth, furnishes an object lesson in the seasous, eclipses and other ce lestial phenomena.
