Soj* Beans. The soja bean plant has no special value in this country, where we have so many other good feeding crops. It is a native of India, where it is called “gram,” and needs a hot climate to do well. It may be grown in the Southern States, but it is no better than the cow- E a, which is a bean, and much the same nd of a plant.

Ohio- DROWKED IN ICY WATERS. An Instrnctor and Eight Bojs Perish in Boston Harbor. The Boat Capsized and One by One They Dropped Off. An infftrnctor and ten boy* connected with the Boston Farm School at Thompson’s Isl and were capsized in a sail boat in Boston (Mass.) Harbor, a few evenings ago, and sight of the boys drowned. The victims were A. F. Nordberg, instruc tor. aged about forty; Frank F. Hitchcock, aged nineteen; Homer F. Thatcher, seven teen; George F. Ellis, six teen; Thomas Phillips, sixteen-William W. Curran, seventeen; Charles H. Graves,seven teen; Harry E. Loud, sixteen; Adelbert H. Packard, sixteen. The rescued boys were: Ove W. Clements, seventeen; Charles A. Limb, sixteen. The instructor had been to the city during the day to attend church, and the ten boys, constituting a regular crew of the school, left the island at 6:30 to sail to City Point to convey the instructor to the island. The trip is considered perfectly safe under ordinary circumstances, having been made for years, even during the winter months, without accident. As a precaution, however, in view of the breeze, the crew took a single sail boat in stead of a double sail craft, in which the trip is often made. The trip to the Point war: made without accident, and soon after 7 o’clock the boat started on the return trip. At a point supposed to be between Spec tacle and Thompson’s islands the boat was struck by a squall and immediately capsized. The eleven occupants were thrown into the ice cold water, but being accustomed to strict discipline and the exercise of heroism in the school, they all secured positions where they could cling to the overturned craft, and then began a long wait for res cue, which to most of them was never to come. According to the statements of the two survivors, they encouraged each other by words of cheer, occasionally shouting in the hope that they might be heard by some one on shore. At one time a tug was seen In the distance, and they shouted with all their remaining strength, but could not attract attention. The night was cold and the shores -nd wharves were abandoned. When the time for the boat to return to the island had passed, the Superintendent of the school, Charles H. Bradley, went to the beach to scan the waters toward City Point to see if his boys were approaching. There was a fire on a neighboring island, and he got in the range of the firelight in the hope that it would aid his vision, but he saw nothing. The survivors say that they saw his form patrolling the beach and felt sure that rescue would come, but it did not. Finally the chill of the water and the exertion necessary to keep their heads above the surface over came the unfortunates, and one by one they were compelled to release their hold. The instructor was the first to go. Each offered a prayer or a word of farewell to the others as be gave up his hold on life. Borne of them endured the unequal contest for nearly four hours, and it was quite four hours, or about 11 o’clock, when the boat with the two survivors still clinging to it, but exhausted, drifted ashore; They were immediately cared for, and rapidly recov ered from the effects of their exposure. Superintendent Bradley notified the police, undertakers and the officers of the Boston Farm School of the disaster and engaged a diver to search for the bodies of the lost. This is the only drowning accident that has happened to the school since 1842. The Boston Asylum and Farm School for Indigent Boys is a private institution, sup ported by wealthy citizens. Its funds are all appropriated for relieving, instructing and employing indigent boys. The boys re ceive a good common-school education, and are instructed in moral and religious duties. The boys were all good swimmers and Mr. Nordberg was an expert. The icy tempera ture of the water is supposed to have chilled them so that they were uneble to make any efforts tor theivcxVLr safety. THE LABOR WORLD. " Steel will soon be down to one cent a pound. • Iron and steel makers are restricting pro duction. Machinery makers are daily gaining in activity. Business in iron circles has been dull for a long time. Manufacturing establishments generally are quite busy. There is a tendency to replace footmen by maids in London, England. There are now six cigarmakers members of the German Parliament. Workmen in seventy-one cities decided to demand an eight-hour day May 2. The rivermen’s strike at St. Louis. Mo., has ended with &□ amicable settlement. Ax eight-hour bill will probably pass the British Parliament, and will effect 531,000 men. The blast furnace workers of Eastern Ohio and of Alabama have been reduced ten per cent. The steel workers of the west of Scotland have received notice of a ten per cent, re duction of wages. The Siemens Electrical Companv, of Ger many, will start a work that will employ 4000 men at Chicago, 111. A good many small manufacturers in "Western Pennyslvania have given up natural gas and returned to steam. Railroad freight handlers at Boston. Mass., are moving for a Saturday half holiday during the summer. Oct of the 240,000 domestic servants in London. England, it is estimated that 10,000 are always out of employment. A depctation of unemployed London (England) workingmen waited upon the Lord Mayor with demands tor relief. An experiment in weaving silk by electric looms has been made in Germany and the results encourage a return to manufacturing in the houses of the weavers. Over 20,000 signatures, mostly from mem bers of labor organizations, have been ob tained to a petition favoring the establish ment cf municipal fuel yards in Massachu setts. The Locomotive Engineers’ Mutual Life Insurance Association has 13.008 members at present, 8509 of whom are insured for $1500. Last month fourteen claims were paid to the families of deceased members, four of whom had been killed by accidents aud two bad been murdered. The German Imperial Marine Office has ordered all mechanical engineers belonging to the navy to make trips across the ocean successfully in the fast steamers of the Ham burg and Bremen line, in order to acquire a practical knowledge of the working, repair ing and construction of engines while in activity. At Omaha, Neb., a State organization of railway employes to oppose legislation harm ful to their interest has been perfected. Members of the organization are pledged to drop party affiliations whenever their class is threatened. The Omaha Club of the organ ization has a membership of 900. The rail way men have similar organizations in Ne braska. Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and North Dakota. LASHED T0_THE POLE. A Gruesome Sight Witnessed by Early Morning Pedestrians in lioston. James Hayes, a trimmer for the Boston (Mass.) Electric Light Company, was found early the other morning hanging lifaless from the cross-bar of one of the poles in Dover street. The leather straps that bound him to the cross-bar prevented him from foiling. Passers by noticed that something was wrong and the body was taken down. No one seemed to know whence came the current that caused his death. The switch was found turned off, as he had thrown it before beginning his work. At that hour there should have been no current on any of the wires. I’he company's officers are of opinion that the trouble was caused by some one at the central station throwing a current over the wires carelessly and without giving proper i warning. AGBICULTUBAL EXHIBIT. The Marvelous Display That is Being Prepared for the WoriC’ - Fair. Secretary Rusk, of the Government De partment of Agriculture, is preparing what is certain to be pronounced a marvelous agricultural exhibit. It will be at once a striking .demonstration of the broad scope and efficient work of the department of which be is the bead, and a school of in struction for all who are interested in agri cultural matters. It will include full illus trations of various insect depredations, a mammoth globe representing graphically the history of pleuro-pneumonia and its re markable extermination in America; a model of the famous Death Valley, with its strange fauna and flora; and a working set of a modern weather station’s outfit. Under the immediate supervision of Expert Hubbard the most complete and comprehensive collection of grains ever made is being prepared with the co operation of the farmers in this country and in foreign parts. Samples of wheat grown in every county in the United States will be shown. Grains from Peace River in northern Canada to Patagonia: from Russia to India, will be in the collec- Wmi; every seed picked by hand and the varieties arranged in tasteful glass compart ments with labels indicating the name, place, weight and effects of the soil and climatic conditions. There are now collected 2000 samples of wheat, 1000 of oats, 5000 of rya 3000 of barley, 300 of buckwheat, 1500 <£. corn (besides the exhibit of corn in the ear), and proportionate numbers of the various other grains and garden products. An effort is being made to secure from Egypt one of the original father wheat plants. The vessels to comprise the Bering Sea fleet during the coming sealing season are the Mohican, now at Esquitnalt; the Adams, the Ranger and the Yorktown, two revenue cutters—the Corwin and the Rush—and the Fish Commission’s steamer the Albatrouss.

Hope is an nnjnet jewel. Justice is what a jury says. Right is a matter of opinion. Death ie the door to eternity. Beware of a fawning exterior. A sinister glance betokens an evil purpose. Give attention and you will get knowledge. A kindly feeling cannot fail to touch the heart He who would exert influence must exercise judgment. To-morrow is the lazy man’s beacon and the fool’s reward. The ugly temper of a pretty woman always shows through. A show of opposition is very apt to be an exhibition oi pity. Never let your curiosity get the Letter of your discretion. In the flutter of excitement the flight of time is unheeded. We find happiness while we are pursuing it aud lose it after we reach it. Many shall court distinction for whom the wedding day will never be set. Retrospect brightens existence only as it is replete with pleasant memo ries. Don’t flatly refuse to pay a bill and fondly cherish the belief that that settles it. to the Deaf. ▲n old body who has lost nearly all sense of hearing, and was also blind, once said to me: “I wish you would write and tell people how to talk to the deif, for I can always hear you.” It is easy enough to speak slowly, articulate distinctly, and in a line with the defec tive ear, but not too rear it. It seems to be a general idea, but it is a mistaken one, that the louder the voice the more easily it is to be heard by the deaf. Slow, distinct articulation is of far more importance. If these simple, natural facts were more generally borne in mind, it would do much to alleviate the trials of the deaf.—The Chautauquan. Some never uncork the vials of thei •he a wrath except to pour forth a torrei 0 ^ e of abuse. The aeronaut is not the only man who has to keep his sand proportionate to his gas. Bacteria in Plants. It seems surprising enough to learn that plants which bear pods, such as peas and beaus, depend largely for their healthy growth upon bacteria. These little vegetable organisms attach themselves to the rootlets upon which they feed, forming about each of their colonies a wooden tubercle, just as th e species that engenders consumption in human beings and other animals forms tubercles iu the lungs. Thus the roots on which such germs find a lodgment are found to be more or less covered with warty excrcsences. Until lately it has never been imagined that the tubercles were of use to the plant, or that the latter relied in any degree for its welfare uponthe para sites which ferm thei Nevertheless, si to be the fact by Department are composed largely of nitrogen, and the bacteria described absorbed this element from the air. Indeed, this is the only way iu which pod-bearing vegetables can procure free nitrogen from the atmosphere. Each kind of pod-bearing plant has its own species of bacteria, upon which it depends for a supply of free nitrogen from the air. The tubercle germs of peas do not produce tubercles in beans, and there fore are of no use to them, and the various forms of tubercle-making bac teria are not found in every soil. In a field where beans have been cul" tivated for a long time there may be no tubercle germs for peas at all, or vice versa. Accordingly the farmer would be likely to find a change from one crop to the other a dismal failure, unless he knew enough to procure some earth from the proper place, mix it with water, aud thus microbe seed the land for the new vegetable.— [Pittsburg Despatch. The Reasons Why. We call it Alabastine, as it is manufac tured from alabaster rock. The people use it because it is durable and beautiful. The sanitarians endorse it because it is of a sanitary nature, and contains no poison ous material. We advertise it as we want all to have an opportunity to be benefited by its advan tages. W all paper firms fight it, as it displaces their poisonous products. Some dealers talk against it, as they can buy cheap kalsomines, and where the people are not posted, sell at Alabastine prices, thus making more profit. Kalsomines must go. as they are only temporary and spoil the walls. Alabastine has come to stay, as it posses ses merit, and has the unqualified endorse ment of those who have used it for years. Alabastine has stood the test of time, a r \ now stands higher in public favor than ' \ before. ^ Prof. Kedzie, the emv'-' , * r sanitarian of Michigan, says; “Have Tefully tested for arsenic or copper; no .e coulu be found. Find no traces of poisonous or injurious ma terial .” Dr. DeWolfe.the health officer of Chicago, says: “The perfect wall for domestic habita tion is the material which resists decomposi tion in every form. It seemes to me that Alabastine is admirably adapted to the pur pose.” The Good Health Publishing Co., of Battle Creek, Mich., writes: “We will, probably, M se Alabastine as long as it is in existence.” We are located at Grand Rapids, Mich., ( and will cheerfully answer any communica tions in relation to our goods. Loug Life in Buttermilk and Onions. “Drink plenty of buttermilk, and eat lots of onions—raw,stewed or boiled,not fried,” says a noted New York medical authority, “and you may live to such an age that you may be glad to commit the suicide act, just for a change, as this ex istence becomes too monotonous,and you yearn, as wc all do, to find out what is taking place behind that strange curtain that we call death!”—New York News. k REMARKABLE SUCCESS. Speed of tho Tornado. The tornado whirls at a rate variously estimated from 500 to 2000 miles an hour. Though ephemeral and diminu tive it has vastly greater violence. To class it a “cyclone - ’ is to belittle its ter rors. True cyclones are exceedingly scarce, while tornadoes are numbered by the hundred every season.— San Fran cisco Chronicle. What Ability and Research Accomplishes. There is the widest difference in the world between the study of a prolession and its practice. Experience, practical knowledge from real cases, is the most es sential material in building up any pro fession. Physicians frequently disguise Burglar-Proof Glass. Under the name of wire glass a new invention has been brought on the market iu Dresden. The process of manufacture consists in furuishing glass in a hot, plastic condition, with a flexible me'.allic layer, iron-wire netting, for instance, which is com pletely inclosed by the vitreous sub stance and effectively protected against exterior influences, as rust, etc. The new glass posseses much greater re sisting power than the ordinary ma terial and is, it is claimed, indifferent to the most abrupt changes of tem perature and will even withstand open fire. The glass is especially adapted for skylights, the powerful resisting qualities of the material enabling the usual wire protectors to be dispensed with. As wire glass cannot be cut by the diamond except under the applica tion of great force and cannot he broken without creating considerable noise, the substance is claimed to be in a measure burglar-proof.— [Iron.

With twenty-one years’ experience as a practitioner, I can con scientiously say that I have never used a preparation with such uniform good re sults as that attained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. It is a veritable discovery and as such is an inestimable acquisition to medical science. I have prescribed this remedy in many of the worst kidney and bladder disorders, both in acute and chronic cases where the patients present ed the most complicated aud alarming symptoms, and have noted with great in terest its effect. The results have been most satisfactory. Its action on the affected kidneys and bladder and con sequent disordered liver and digestion has been gentle yet immediate, the relief speedy and the cures permanent. I have found it a most invigorating tonic in broken-down constitutions, La Grippe, and in other cases where the vitality has been greatly wasted and enfeebled. H. C. McCoimick, M. D., Ph. G. Penn Argyle, Pa. “ I have been afflicted with bilious ness and constipation for fifteen years and first one and then another prep aration was suggested to me and tried, but to no purpose. A friend recommended August Flower and words cannot describe the admira tion in which I hold it. It has given me a new lease of life, which before was a burden. Its good qualities and wonderful merits should be made known to everyone suffering with dyspepsia and oiliousness.” Jesse Barker, Printer, Humboldt, Kas.® V j, ,i ^ COPYfllGKr (Ml AU alone, both in the way it acts, and in the way it’s sold, is Dr. Pierce’s Favor ite Prescription for women.

My little girl suffered for three years from a large Abscess on her hip, the resuu of a fall and dislocation. The Abscess was large, with six openings, all of which discharged puss. I was induced by friends to give her S. S. S., and by the time the fifth bottle was finished the Abscess was entirely healed, and the child was well and happy.—M.s. J. A. WlEGNER, Slatington, Pa. I had three little girls who were attacked with obstinate 1EOZEIVJ.A- or Blood Trouble, which at first resembled heat, but soon grew to yellow blisters, some of iliem quite large. One of the children died from the effects of it, but we got Swift’s Specific and gave to the other two, and they soon got well. S. S. S. forced out the poison promptly the cure was wonderful.—J. I>.
