Horrible Beggars Who Une the Way
t# the Great Pagoda—The Wbfit
derful Golden Demet
P TJBMAH 1b a country of queer
•ights and strange sonnde. I
waa talking a few days since
to Professor S. 8. Baldwin,
the famed traveler, eo well known
throughout the East by the title el
“The White Mahatma.’' Said he:
“Burmah ia what an American gift
would call "a fanny country.' ”
Rangoon is au attractive city ol
beautiful buildings, stately pagodas
and long aventtei, overhung with
magnificent shade trees, yet right
throngh the centre of one of these
beautiful boulevards runs a sluggish
open stream of tha nature of a sewer,
in which dead dogs, cats and rats
make the ait redolent with a perfume
that is not at all suggestive of “Araby
the Blest.”
At Bangoon is the great golden
pagoda, situated at the top of a hill
in the outskirts of the city. The
roadway from the valley to the lop of
the hill consists of a series of irregular
ateps, eome ten or twelve feet wide,
and from three to ten inches high.
These steps are entirely inclosed on
the left side (as you proceed toward
the top), and ara covered with an
arohed and vaulted roof. On the
right aide the root is supported by
pillsrs and arches opening
ont on a terrace of gardens and
walled iucloenres. This stairway
is about one-eighth of a mile
long, and at the bottom on each side
are two enormous dragons, some thir
ty or forty feet high, carved out of
brick and plaster work. These drag
ons have immense mouths wide open,
showing horrible fangs and-a protrud
ing tongue, while the tail of the beast
ia curled and forked, like that of tba
traditional devil. The architecture is
extremely quaint and interesting, as
well as beautiful. The pagoda itself
ta built in the center of, and sur
rounded by, an immense garden of
palm trees, in one of the most beauti
ful spots that one can conceive of,
and if the place and the approaches
were kept clean it would bo a lovely
spot But at the very entrance of the
stairway, each side is Simply lined
with the most disgusting beggars—
men, women and children, bnt mostly
men and women—thin and attennated,
and mostly with some portion of their
body half eaten away with leprosy.
These people simply swarm aronnd
the traveler, clamoring for alms,
throsting their mutilated arms and
limbs, that have been partially eaten
off by the ravages of the disease, fairly
into one’s faoe; sometimes an eye will
be gone or a portion of the jaw. H
charity is given to one, it is almost a
necessity to give it to all nis com
rades, for they orowd aronnd yon like
flies, and fairly bar your passage.
Most tourists before visiting this
pagoda, which at one time was deemed
so wonderful and beautiful that it wae
included in one of the lists of the seven
wonders of the world, are cantioned to
take with them a stout stick, also a
light rattan awitch. The stick is in
tended as a defense against the pariah
dogs,'With which the place is overran.
The light rattan is to be used to keep
the beggars at a distance, for cruel as
it msy seem, often the only way to
keep them from absolute annoyance is
by a vigorous slashing at their bare
backs or nude limbs, and then they
will often atand at a little distance
and spit at the traveler and over
whelm him with corses and impreca
tions. As the beggars are all relig
ious mendicants, they are looked upon
by most of the natives with perhaps
somewhat of a spirit of modified vene
ration, and unless the English travel
er is accompanied by a party suffloient-
ly large to be perfect^ able to take
care of themselves if* is just possible
he might be roughly handled by the
natives in case of any hurt to one of
the beggars. Should the tourist be
accompanied by a native policeman,
which is often the case, the policeman
has no hesitation at all in poshing the
beggars right and left as if they were
nine pins, so that they generally keep
at a respectful distance.
It is said that it cost some eighty
or ninety thousand dollars to gild the
dome of the large pagoda, but this is
dona every two years or thereabouts.
This is usually the gift of religious
Burmans at an offering to Buddha.
Professor Baldwin, who has had very
many years of Oriental travel, states
that ona of the most peculiar things
which he has ever seen is the rocking
pagoda at a Burmese village many
miles up the Irawaddy. This pagoda
was originally built on the top of a
very large bowlder of granite, some
sixty or seventy feet high. After the
pagoda was built the lower part of the
bowlder was gradually removed and
rounded until now it seems as if the
pagoda was resting upon an enormous
ball or globe of solid rook. The rook
is so nicely balanced that a heavy wind
or the exertion of a person pushing
strongly on the rook will cause it to
slightly oscillate. It does not go far
enough to cause any damage, but roll*
and rooks backwsrd and forward like
an enormous rooking chair. This
pagoda is kept exclusively for the
priests. The only socess to it being
by means of a rope ladder, which is
drawn up after them, they are thus
kept from annoyance.
The phoongyi, or priests, are very
numerous, each father, especially
among the better class, making every
effort so that one son at least shall be
long to the order. They are a lazy
and insolent lot, and to the European
observer never seem to be engaged in
any speoial duties except squatting on
their haunches and holding conversa
tions with eacln other, or else squat
ting in the same position for hours,
gazing dreamily into the distance and
supposed to be contemplating the
virtues and graces of Buddha, or in
earnest prayer for the joys of Nirvana,
the Buddist heaven, where each and
all lose individuality and finally sink
into a deep and eternal sleep and be
come a part of the great mother nature.

FARM AND GARDEN*
SCIENTIFIC FARM ISO.
The farmers who ehjeet to ioientiflo
farming are the dies who are too laay
to benefit by the latest discoveries of
science. They run their farm in a
slip-shod fashion, and then grnmble
beoanse their industrious neighbors
pass them in the race,-‘Kerf York
World,
care of Houses’ feet.
One of the mUtalies bfteii made by
farmers is that 6f keeping their horses
shod that db wOfk in the field during
a portion of the year at least. Of
coarse this sometimes becomes neces
sary, bnt in the great majority of
cases it is not only uncalled for but it
is actually a hindrance to the best
service the horse is capable of giving.
Everybody knows that when a horse
is once shod the necessity of keeping
shoes upon his feet grows npon him.
It is also recognized that a horse oan
do all sorts of farm work just as well
without shoes on as with them, and a
critieal observer of horses soon dis
covers that farm horses are kept wear
ing shoes merely from a fancied and
mistaken kindness toward them rather
than from any sound and logioal rea
son. If people were in the habit of
giving a little personal attention to
their horses' feet upon frequent occa
sions, instead of leaving it all to the
blacksmith it would be all tha better
for the horses.—Nebraska Farmers
SALT MAXES MILK.
Experiment* have recently been
made to ascertain whether the giving
of salt to dairy cows has any direct
bearing on the supply of milk, and
the results have been of a character
which will bo surprising to many who
attach little importance to providing
salt for their cattle. Salt they must
have in some form or another, and if
it is supplied to them in suitable quan
tities and ways, they will take suffi
cient and no more for their own bene
fit. For about a month, from June
20 to July 18 last year, three cows
were kept without salt and the milk
from each weighed twioe daily from
the 4th to the 18th of July, when they
gave 454 pounds. From July 18 to
August 1 the same cows received four
ounces of salt each, and during that
time the milk showed an inorease of
100 pounds, the weight being 564
pounds. From this experiment it ap
pears that there was a considerable
gain, which would pay admirably any
one to keep his stock well supplied
with salt; and it may also be added as
another good custom to follow to keep
plenty of freeh water where it oan al
ways be accessible.— Connectiout
Farmer.
HOW TO MAKE A WATER MEADOW.
A water mei dow is a level piece of
land on the bank of a stream that is
embanked, so a.-! to retain the water
of the stream in freshets, and permit
it to settle and deposit the soil which
it holds in suspension. As the mud
which comes down with the high water
is the washing of the best of the land
above, this inclosed land gathers a
large quantity of valuable soil in the
course of a few years, and the grass
grown on it yields very abundantly.
In a dry time the water of the stream
may be turned on to the meadow by
means of a channel made fnrther up,
or at a low dam made in the stream
for the purpose, and the growth of
grace thus greatly increased. If the
land is almost level, the bank on the
side of the stream and on the lower
limit of the field need not be more
than a foot high. Of course, it is pro’-
vided with gates to let in the water
and discharge it at the lowest point,
(t is often the case that the water thus
turned on to the field is permitted to
flow slowly over it, settling the sus
pended matter as it flows. Land thus
improved has been km s'n to pay on
interest every year on a valuation of
41000 an acre.—New York Times.
FATTENING POULTRY.
The fattening of fowls for market
by means of the process known as
eramming is practiced to a great ex
tent in certain localities, and decided
advantages are claimed for it. While
there seems to be a great demand for
what is thought to be a speoial de
licacy, it may be questioned if suob
methods are not productive of objec
tionable results. It is scarcely to be
expected that creatures fed in the
manner described in accounts given of
such operations will retain their
health, and eome to market in a per
fectly normtl condition. AU undue
forcing of the appetite gives rise to
feverish and unwholesome states, and
it seems impossible that meat pre
pared under eueh circumstances can
be suitable for food. As a matter of
fact too much fat is sn objeotiou
rather than a gain in poultry. A fowl
kept in a good clean rang? and care
fully fed is at its best when cooped up
for three or four days snd given all
of the boiled rice with a little sugar \
and butter that it can eat in that time.
In the course of this period it has no
opportunity to get diseased and ab
normal. It would be well if sani
tarians and health enthusiasts would
give a little attention to this way of
fattening, and see if it is entirely con
sistent with the laws of health and
hygiene.—New York Ledger.
RAISING HORSERADISH.
Horseradish delights in deep, rich,
moist soil, and requires but little cul
tivation as it has much top which
shades the ground, prevents weeds
from growing and keeps the soil moist
and mellow.
It is grown or propagated from sets
or pieces of small roots out from four
to eight inches long with upper end
slanting and lower end square. When
cultivated ou a large scale the ground
is well manured, deeply plowed and
thoroughly harrowed,” or otherwise
put in good condition; then marked
ont in rows from two to three feet
apart. In these the root pieces arc
planted fifteen or eighteen inches
apart. The planting is done by mak
ing a hole with a long slim dibber or
planting stick or with a small, light
iron bar, and dropping the set, square
end down, into it so that the top end
is left a little below the surface. Thou
press the soil firmly against the set.
Keep cultivator or wheel hoe going
till the top growth renders further
working unnecessary.
In these days of intensive farming
or gardening we must take two fcropi
off the same land , each Beason when
ever possibly so horseradish is gen
erally made a second crop, though
planted at nearly the same time as the
first crop. The crops usually selected
as the first crop are early cabbages,
cauliflowers of beets. As soon as the
first Crop is planted the horseradish
Sets are put but* as described above,
midwajr bhtiveh the other two rows,
sd as tb stand two or two and a half
feet One way by sixteen br eighteen
inches the other.
The sets are put in deep enough so
the upper or slanting end will ba
•bout three inches below the surface
of the ground. This will give the first
crop time enough to grow and be
gotten out of the way before the horse
radish gets much above ground.
While cultivating the first crop no
notice is taken of the horseradish un
derneath. If a stray shoot comes up
it is to be treated as a weed, and the
whole surface below the rows kept
clean. When the first crop is taken
off the cultivator may be run once
down the space where it stood and the
horseradish permitted to make its
growth as rapidly as it wishes. It
makes its most rapid growth in early
antumn anyway, and with the good
•tart it has had below the surface it is ,
soon ready for a hoeing: this will
generally be all the cultivation needed.
It is dug late in the fall, the tops
and small roots trimmed from the
main roots, whioh are stored in cellars
and root houses till wanted for the
market. The small roots as out off
are saved, trimmed and bunched for
the next season’s planting. They
ehonld be buried in Band till wanted.
The large roots are geuerally washed
before being sold. The price is usu
ally so much per pound. To start a
plantation roots may be obtained from
most large dealers in roots and plants.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Salting with brine is not effective.
Excessive feeding of Swedish turnips
makes the milk bitter.
Begin early and train the trait trees
to grow symmetrical and well bal
anced.
It reqnires ensilage and warm stables
for cows in winter to make winter
dairying profitable.
It is donbtful if there is any better
milk-producing food for the brood
mare than ground oats.
Professor Weigman attributes oily
butter to iron, whioh comes from the
use of poorly tinned vessels.
Keep a close watch on the work
hofses. Give them all necessary pro
tection against bad-fitting or dirty
collars.
Buttercups and other varieties of
the ranunculus in the pasture are gen
erally responsible for the bitter taste
in milk and batter.
Hot weather brings plenty of work
in the poultry yard, and work that can
not be slighted nor neglected if profit
able results are to be expected.
Handsome, well proportioned, sound,
sixteen-hand carriage horses that
show quality and good action will
bring about as much money to-day as
ever.
Green bone is an excellent egg-mak
ing food. It is also excellent for
young chioko, as it furnishes the ma
terial reqnired for the growth of bona
and feathers.
Soapy milk has been found to be
caused by damp, foul straw upon which
the cows were bedded. This abounded
in bacteria, which got on to the udders
and thence into the milk.
Salting with one-half to one and one-
half ounces per pound increases tha
total weight of butter about twelve
per cent. The uusalted butter has a
larger water content than the salted.
Young ducks are great feeders and
will sometimes gain as much as a
pound in a week. Duck meat can be.,
produced almost as cheaply as pork,
and with about the same kind of feed.
Because there arc poor imported
stallions it is very fcolish to refuse to
buy or use au imported stallion.
Some of the best horses in the world
have been imported mto the United
States.
When honey is capped and sealed it
should be removed at once if a fine
appearance is desired. If left to the
bees it will improve in flavor and
quality but at the expense of discol
oration.
I. Seidi finds that weak brine up to
ten per cent, is not fitted for preserv
ing butter, and that saturated, brine
cannot be relied on, even when tha
butter is kept in a cool place. Brine
is likely to give butter a “heet” tastes
If eggs are desired during the warm
season, do not let the hens get crowd
ed in the roosting place. Better pro
vide a roosting shed with open sides.
At the most, not over twenty-five
shonid be allowed to roost together.
The best time to oil harness is after
it has been out in the rain. When it
is nesriy but not quite dry wash it
clean with lukewarm water with a lit*
tie common soap in it; rinse off the
soap, and when nearly dry apply the
oil.
Clover or fine-ent beet tops packed
sway tightly while green, in barrels,
will make a good juicy food for the
hens next winter. The barrel must
be air-tight with a tightly fitting head,
and the heavy weight must be left on
the top until you are ready to use tbo
contents.
The best temperature for creaming
in deep-setting is forty-five degrees.
No advantage was found in heating
from 93-110 degrees before set
ting. Jjhe addition of from ten to
twenty-five per cent, water appeared
to slightly improve the thoroughness
of creaming-

A Scientific Poison.
Not long ago the rural districts of
France were overrun with a plague of
deldmice. They were everywhere, and
it was estimated that every acre was
infested by thousands of these nuis
ances, to the serious detriment of the
crops. Some ingenious scientist de
vised a method for getting tid Of them
all. He procured the germs Of A di
sease, which waa fatal to the rodents
and contagious, and after cultivating
a considerable quantity of them, he
soaked in the solution small cubes o',
bread, which were then scattered over
the fields where the mice were the
thickest. Within two weeks there
was scarcely a live mouse to be found
in the whole district. Au examina
tion of their burrows showed them to
be full of dead mice.—New Orleans

A Burning Hountalit.
At Wingeu, in New South Wales,
104 miles from Sydney, is a burning
mountain, one of the most remarkable
sights to be seen in Australia. It is
1820 feet iu height, and is supposed to

Chicago, September 8 .—[Special.]—The
Chicago Inter-Ocean's Illustrated Supple
ment, describing the great success and merit
ot No-To-Bnc, has made It famous In a day.
Mr. II. L. Kramer, the active man, was
coon to-day at hie office, 45 Randolph street,
and in talking of No-To-Bac’s growth, said
It was hard work to keep up with tho rap
idly Incroaslng demand, as every box sold
advertised No-To-Bac’s merit.
He said : “No-To-Bac is not sold on the
strength ot the thousands and tens of thou
sands of testimonial statements, but under
an absolute guarantee to cure or money re
funded.” That made a long story about
merit very short, ns It absolutely protects
the user from physical injury or financial
loss. “Why,” said he, “No-To-Bac will
make 100,000 cures this year, and the sav
ing will average $50.00 for every one cured,
or a grand total of $5,000,000 save I Irora
going up In smoke and oui in spit." No-
To-Bac, is indeed, a Ood-send to the poor
men these bard times. According to the
tesilmonlals, however, the money saving Is
the least consideration, tor almost every
one reports an improvement of the nervous
system, increase in weight, and a revival of
physical and mental powers that Is Indeed
miraculous.
Prominent physicians look upon No-To-
Bac ns a great success, and are very free to
prescribe It.
Every wholesale drug house in t.iis coun
try and Canada sells No-To-Bac, and the re
tail druggists are pushed to supply the de
mands of customers; tho direct mail demand
is immense.
The cost of No-To-Bac compared with the
results is a small ma'.ter, as the saving in a
week pays tho cost of a cure for a lifetime.
No-To-Bac Is sold for $1 a box, or three
boxes, $2.50, with a guarantee to cure, or
money refunded.

Dressing Small Skins.
Small skins may be dressed and
made equal to tanned ones by the
simple process called tawing. This is
as follows: The skin is soaked in warm
water to soften the adhering flesh and
fat, these being then scraped or.shaved
off with a sharp knife, such as a mow
ing scythe, with a smooth, keen edge,
the skin lying on a rounded block or
slab. The skins are then placed in a
tub of a solution of equal parts of
sugar of lead, alum snd salt, and re-
.jnain in it for a week, being turned
and opened so that every part is ex
posed to tho liquid. After the skins
have absorbed all the liquid, or rather
those substances whioh are drawn
from the water by the skins, they are
taken out and again shaved and parti,
dried, then well rubbed and pulled,
to soften the skin, until nearly dry.
The inner side of the skin is then
rubbed with a smooth piece of pumice
stone and yellow ochre until it is
smooth and soft; when thoroughly
dry this is repeated until all dust is
got rid of. A little oil maybe slightly
rubbed over the fur to brighten an 1
soften it.—New York Times.

The great railroad strike has cause.!
hardships to hundreds of people in
this region, and some very grave hard
ships, bvtt that bofue by James Me-
Murtie, a brakeman on the Sauta Fe
Bfcilroad, is the severest of them ali.
McMurtio was coupling some freight
cars that had been left at Barstow and
had his left hand badly crushed. For
four days he bathed his hand in cold
water and used all the liuimeuts that
could he had about Barstow station.
He walked tho floor day and night be
cause of his agouy.
Signs of blood-poisoning began to
sbo.v themselves in tho wound, and
McMurtie know that something ought
to be done in the way of a surgioal
operation at ouce. There was no one
else to do it, so ho resolved to go to
work on himself. He retired to his
room, carefully sharpened his knife,
bared bis left arm and began cutting
and hacking at his hand.
He actually oat away hW own han l
below the wrist. Tho paiu was hor
rible, bnt, gritting his teeth, he kept
at the amputation. Ho was heard to
fall upon the floor, aud several men
rushed in to find him fainting upon
the floor, with his bleeding stump of
a hand at his side.
When McMurtie was restore! to
consciousness he directed the dressing
of his severed hand. A few hoars
later a man who had been a physician
and surgeon happened to rids iut j
Barstow from the mines, and he took
McMurtie’s case in hand, and at last
reports ho was doing well. —Pomona
(Cal.) Progress.
Brazen Impudence He Thought,
A west-bound train had just pulled
out of the Union Station at Albany,
says the Express, and tho conductor
was harvesting tickets. All the seats
were taken and several passengers were
obliged to stand up. Among the latter
was a diffident-looking, mild-mannered
man, who refused to give up a ticket.
"When I get a seat, you get a ticket,”
he remarked mildly, but firmly; “you
are probably aware that tho company
can not collect fares from passengers
whom it does not provide with seats. ”
“Oh, come now, that don’t go; I want
your ticket, see?” Thus spoke the
conductor. “No seat, no ticket,” la
conically observed tbo passenger.
“We’ll see about that,” growled the
conductor, who hustled around and
finally found a brother-conductor who
was going up the road a way, whom he
induced to give up his seat to the
mildly firm paesenger. “ fliere’s a seat
for yott; nowgivemethat ticket," said
the conductor, in a ferocious tone.
“Certainly, here it is. ” Aud the mild,
but firm, passenger handed out a pass
good to Chicago.

An old-fashioned way
of getting there. Slow and safe, but hard
work. Most women, have got beyond this kind
of traveling—found something better.
Now, why can’t you look at that other old-
fashioned proceeding in the same light—
washing things with soap and hard rubbing.
I hat's slow enough and tiresome enough,
everybody knows, and it’s not as safe
as washing with Pearline. It’s really
destructive, in fact, the wear of that
constant rubbing. Break away from
these antiquated ideas. Use modern
methods. Pearline saves at every
point.
