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. Some recent experi
ments with the soja bean h&ve shown
that it is exceedingly nutrittowi* but not
more so than the cowpea, i'he writer
grew a small crop of it In New Jersej
some years ago, but discarded it as un
profitable. The cowpea may be grow*

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.—

The people use it because it is durable and

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.”

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.

Catarrh Can't be Cured
With local applications, ae they cannot reach
the scat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or con

have to take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internaily.and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is no quack medicine. It was prescribed
b> one of the best physicians in this country
for years, and is a regular prescription. It Is
composed of the best tonics Known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combi
nation of the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send

from patients their true condition, be
cause of their inability to provide a suc
cessful remedy. 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.

FOR THE CHILDREN.
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>. Rains, Marthaville, La.
S. S. S. has no equal for Children. It relieves the system promptly, and assists
nature in developing the child’s health. Our Treatise mailed free.
