Bad drinking water for cows make:
bad milk.
More sleep and less stimulant will
make haying and harvesting go much
easier. _
Wood ashes or potash in some form
around the rootsefold pear trees will
restore them.
A few tubs of poor butter in an
invoice may bring the average price
down below the line of profit.
On smooth land always tend corn
with the cultivator, instead of the
plough. It saves time and labor.
The best market for any man, pro-
vided he has one, is the home market.
He who “is near” to his market is
better than he “ who is far off.”
Kill venomous snakes but not harm-
less ones. These destroy insects and
worms and much small vermon that is
hurtful to crops.
Cow manure water spattered over
melon squash and cucumber vines at
sunrise will destroy the stripped bug.
Spotter with an old brush or broom.
There are fewer cattle in proportion
to the population of the country than
there were thirty-five years ago. But
the average weight has been largely
increased.
Fowls that must be fed in summer
should be fed rcgularly. If fed only
twice a day. feed lightly in the morning
and give ems feed at night. If fed
but once a day, feed at night.
The calf born in the fall, fairly well
wintered and given the vigorous growth
that grass food gives the following sum-
mer, makes a better cow than the
spring raised one, and she is two years
old—the right time for the birth of her
first calf.
Very young ducklings are tender at
first, and should neither be allowed to
go into cold water nor be exposed to
chilling winds while they are under
twenty days old. Such exposure cause
cramps, and they often die suddenly
from these results.
All fowls that feather slowly are
usually hardy—for instance, the Brah-
mas. Fol- it is owing to the fact that
the drain on the system occasioned by
quick feathering does not weaken them.
Slow feathering while growing is indi-
cative of hardiness.
The disadvantages of the ordinary
system of Setting milk in shallow pans
for raising cream are that a longer
period elapsed before the slnkhrg is
completed, too much space is required,
and in summer the whole of the milk is
sour before the cream is raised.
Separated early and raised up by
themselves, pullets are worth at least a
quarter more for use than if allowed
to run with a lot of cockerels; in the
large, late-maturing breeds the evil is
less, though even with them the prac-
tice of keeping them separate is most
profitable.
The public would be greatly accommo-
dated if every farmer would erect in a
conspicuous place on the farm his
name, in order that travellers might be
guided thereby. This would save every
husbandman the thankless and arduous
task of answering hundreds of ques-
tions, and would direct persons to them
who had business to transact.
For a kicking cow, says a correspon-
dent, take a small rope, make a slip-
noose in one end and draw tight around
the cow, just in front of the udder. I
had a large heifer that kicked badly. I
applied the ropevas shops and sat down
and milked without-further trouble. It
was only applied three times and she
gave me no trouble afterwards.
Layering fruits giveé the amateur an
easy method of increasing fine shrubs
and plants. A depression is made in
the earth at one side of the plant in
whichto bend a vigorous shoot. This
shoot should have a notéh‘c t in from

bend it down and cover firmly with

there should e good reots.
Concerning geraniums, where plenty
of winter flowers are desired, the plants
should be grown in pots during the
summer. All flower buds should he
nipped out as they appear. The rose
and most other k'Indsef geraniums can
be brought along ply for house dec-

A corresppndent says it is easy to get
rid of black ants. Open ahill with a
hoe, scatter onahandful of salt and
sprinkle onaquart of water and the
ants will leave immediately. A few
days ago the house was overrun with
insects. The correspondent found
eleven anthills within two rods of his
house. After the above application
not an ant was to be seen about the
premises.
A dairy school for girls of fourteen or
under is to be established, by direction
of the French Ministry of Agriculture,
at Coetiogon, in connection with the
farm school at Trois-Croix. The fee
for boarders will be only 850 for six
months' course of instruction. The
teaching Is to be practical as well as
theoretical, and certificates will be
given by the Minister of Agriculture to
students who pass the examinations.
Eight scholarships have been offered
by the State. '

The art of saying an unpleasant‘thing
in a perfectly agreeable manner, is a
very high accomplishment,which should
be studied by all persons liable to be
asked for loans. Some years ago there
was a banking-house in Edinburgh
which gave general Offense by the rude
way that customers were sometimes
addressed. A tradesman leaving a bill
for discount, would on his return have
the bill thrpwn across the table, with
the supercilious and loud remark: “We
don’t know the parties.” Tradesman
retires affronted, and ever afterward
speaks of the unmannerliness of the
eank. There was another banking
establishment in the town, which was
noted for its civility. It was presided
over by Mr.——, an aged gentleman,
who knew the value of a soft word.
When atradesman was to he refused
the discounting of abilI, the old banker
came forth from his den, and addressing
the would-be customer in a friendly
and confidential way said: “ I am sorry
it is not convenient to discount your
Jill to-day; butbe so good as to give my
:ompliments to your wife.”

There has been introduced at the
Paris observatory an apparatus speci-
ally designed for photographing the
heavenly bodies, and M. Mouchez,
director of the, observatory, has pre-
sented to the French academy of
sciences, a chart obtained by this
wonderful method. This map contains
a small section of the milky way and
presents to view five thousand stars,
ranging from the sixth to the fifteenth
magnitude. In view of the fact that
there are forty-one thousand superficial
degrees in the firmament, it is estimated
that a representation of the whole sur— .
face, completedin the same way, would
require six thousand similar sections,
forming one thousand five hundred
ecliptical charts. Itis further esti-
mated—gigantic as such work appears
-that, if it were undertaken by six or
eight observatories, favorably situ-
ated in the two hemispheres, the
work might be concludedin five or
six years, and would contain photo-
graphs of 80,000,000 stars, down to the

Bros , uddinss are usually made too
stiff rice to be palatable." Two
tablespoonmls of rice to a quart of

TRY this cocoanut cake: Mix three
quarters of a pint of powdered angel
with one ounce of butter; add one pint
of flour with one tablespoonful of
baking powder, half a pint of grated
cocoanut and milk enough to make a
stiff batter. Bake in buttered pans and
sprinkle dry cocoanut on the top.
New potatoes (1 la creme are nice for
breakfast or lunch. Cut some boiled
new potatoes in slices and put them in
a. stewpan with four ounces of butter,
one gill of cream, a little nutmeg, pep-
per and salt and the juice of half a
lemon. Set the pan on. the fire, tossing
the contents up once or twice. Serve
with a ring of croutons.
errand: sandwiches will be relished
fer lunch. Melt one ounce of butter in
a saucepan, and add to it a cupful of
shrimps and half a tablespoonful of
finely 'minced parsley, seasoning with
a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce
and a little cayenne pepper. Let the
mixture heat for five minutes stirring
constantly. Spread the sandwiches
with the mixture or serve on toast.
Fon CLEANING mums. — For an

lon of boiling water, pressing the bag
so that all the goodness of the bran will
be in the water. Dilute this water and
wash the matting with a woolen or
crash cloth, drying with another cloth
immediately. By repeating this pro-
cess every fortnight for a room that
is much used the matting retains its
good appearance, and is kept perfectly
clean.

Boys who smoke cigarettes are ap-

A rancher in Prochea week ago offered
to swap his eighteen year old boy, who
smoked cigarettes, to any person for a

The Audubon society is growing, and

The members pledge themselves not to
kill or capture any wild bird not‘used

bird as ornaments of dress or furniture.
An experiment to test the speed of
the swallow’s flight has been made
at Pavia, in Italy. Two hen birds were
taken from their broods, carried to
Milan, and there released at a given
hour. Both got back to their nests in

of speed at eighty—seven and a half
miles an hour.
The mint julep is an old colonial
Virginian drink. It was invented in
Virginia by a wealthy planter, who had
scompany of friends at his home. A
great hail storm came up; he gathered
the hailstones, and, on the inspiration
of'the moment, concocted that delicious
beverage which we call mint julep. Its
fame spread, but at first they never
made it except when it hailed.

A MOST appetizing salad is made by
shaving cabbage about as fine as it is
possible to shave it, sprinkle white
mustard seed over it, using enough so
that there will be adistinct flavor of
mustard. An 'ounce of seed to one
two yellow peppers should be cut into
very small slices and added; pour cold
vinegar over all, add a little salt and
sugar, and then let stand for a day or
two, so that the cabbage and peppers
are really pickled. This may be packed
in jars or be put into cans and kept all
winter. It is nice with oysters or with
cold meats.

About the Two Napoleons.
The letter M is curiously coupled
with Napoleon 1., and also his nephew.
Napoleon I.: Maitland was the person
to whom he surrendered; Malet con-
spired against him; Marchand was his
valet, who accompanied him to St.
Helena; Maret was his most trusty
counselor; Marie Louise was his second
wife; Menon lost him Egypt; Metter—
nlch vanquished him in diplomacy;
Montholon wrote his memoirs; Moreau
betrayed him; Murat, whom he made
king of Naples, deserted him; Mwas
the initial letter of six Of his mar-
shals; Marengo was his first great
victory; Mont St. Jean (Waterloo) was
his last battle; Moscow his pitfall.
Napoleon III.: MacMahon, the greatest
general, succeeded him as a ruler
of France; Maximilian and Mexico
were his evil stars; Malakofi (duke of),
next to MacMahon, his most distin-
guished general; Moltke was his des-
tiny; Montijo (countess of) became his
wife; Montebello and Magenta two of
his victories; in the month of March
the prince imperial was born and the
treaty of Paris signed, and in May he
escaped from Ham. .
He Scorned the Double D.
One of Lincoln’s most esteemed
friends was old err-Governor Tod of Ohio.
He was a quaint old character, and Lin-
coln loved him for his honesty, ability
and native shrewdness. One evening
When Ted was in' town Lincoln invited
him over to the White House. They had
along chat together,when Lincoln finally
said: “Look here, Tod, how is it that
you spell your name with only one (1?
I married 11 Todd, but she spelled her
name with two ds. All of her relatives
do the same. You are the first Tod I
ever met who spelled his name with so
few letters.” Old Tod looked at Lin-
coln fer a moment in his peculiarly
quizzing manner, and then replied: “Mr.
President, God spells His name with

New Mexico newspapers tells of a
i “norther” that passed over the north-
' ern edge of Lincoln county a few weeks
ago, accompanied by hailstones as large
as a man’s fist, doing great damage to
sheep. One man lost 3,000 killed, an-
other 5,000, a third 4,000 out of a herd
of 5,000 Marines and Cotswolds. Sev-
eral beeves and some cattle were killed,
and it was rumored that the hail killed
two herde'rs also". ‘
Nearly all the animals of New South
; Wales .are marsupials—that is, they
i have an exterior pouch in which they
carry their young. The largest are the
. kangaroo, and of these a great variety
exist. They are found more or”"less'
plentiful all over the colony, sometimes
in such numbers as to seriously inter-
fere with pastoral pursuits, eating the
grass which would pasture thousands
of sheep and cattle.
The air of the sea taken at a great
distance from land, Or even on the
shore and in ports when the wind blows
from the open, is in an almost perfect
' state of purity. Near continents
' the land-winds drive before them an
atmosphere always impure, but at a
distance from the coast this impurity
é has disappeared. The sea rapidly puri-
- fies the pestilential atmosphere of con-
. tinents; hence every expanse of water
1 of a certain breadth becomes an abso-
lute obstacle to the propagation of
epidemics.
Here is a good way of removing ob-
jects from the eye: Take. a horse hair
and double it, leaving a loop. If the
object can be seen, lay the loop over it,
close the eye, and the mote will come
out as the hair is withdrawn. If the
Irritating object cannot be seen, raise
the lid of the eye as high as possible
and place the loop as far back as you
can; close the eye and roll the ball
around a few times, draw out the hair,
and the substance which caused the
pain will usually come with it. The
method is practiced by axe-makers and
other workers in steel.

A Queer Little Western Railroad. ,
There is a little narrow gauge rail-
road in central Illinois which is rather
amusing. It runs through a rich farm-
ing country andis owned and managed
by wealthy farmers. The conductors.
engineers and brakemen are farmers
sons who have grown weary of raising
cattle and corn and who have taken to
“railroading ” as a. relief. The various
stations along the line of this little
railroad are of no consequence what-
ever, except to their score or more of
inhabitants and to the farmers of the
neighborhood. A train starts from
each end of the read every morning
after breakfast, runs to the opposite
end of the road by dinner time, returns
again for tea, and ties up for the night.
As there is no telegraph line- con-
nected with the road, nobody at any
of the stations knows when strain is
coming until'it ‘arrives in sight. As
the rails are laid on ties placed on
the flat prairie, and as 11,0 grade exists
from one end of though to the other,
the tall grass has an awkward habit of
getting under the wheels and stopping
the train. ,Not frequently, also, the
‘run off the track, and go tumbling
along on the virgin prairie. Whenever
a little accident of this kind occurs the

passengers ride in a car reserved for
them in the rear of a long line'of
freight cars. Half of this car is-parti-,
tioned off in order that it may" also
* serve for carrying mail bags, express
matter and baggage. N at infrequently
passengers walk into a village ahead ,of
the train and announce "that the cars
will follow them in an hour or two,
providing they canbe kept on the track
long enough. Sometimes a locomotive
gets stalled on some one of the’several

The Scientific Americm thinks tInl
tho ngilnIion in regard to the cruelticl
overdone through ‘ ignorance of the
nature of pain, which, it insists, depends
essentially upon the mind, 'and not upon
the nerves. All animals of lewar grade
than human suffer very much less pain
from physical inj urics than our sensations
convey to us. We can readily see the
proof of this in their habitual actions.
Many of the starfishes detach parts of
their arms at the very smallest provocae
tion, and remain uninjured by the
change or loss. A fish that has torn
sway the hook from a line in its strug-
glingtocseupe will take the bait again
as soon as‘its fright has passed 011‘, and
while the hook still remainsin. the jaw
which it has perforated. A fawn whose
foreleg was wounded by a shot had it
amputated without anaesthetics. and gave
moely a sign of pain. Coming still
higher, we recognise the fact, which is
perfectly well known, that savages of
the human rsoepaysmall attention to

diversity in the nerve tissue of their
systems as can account for the extreme
differences .with which they not only
manifest pain. but with which they
doubtlem feel it. The conclusion is that,
though the transmission of pain is de-
pendent on nerve fibres only, its seat and
origin are beyond. and are truly not
physical at all. Pain is mental.

' At the none-Letter once.
I One department is devoted to the re-
, mailing of misdirected lettersto their
: writers, if possible. Nineteen-twen-
tieths of them are so returned. The
' remaining twentieth—amounting to
about three hundred thousand a year—
are destroyed. The “openers ” make
no examination of letters, except to see
at a glance whether they contain {any-
thing of value. This is all done by six-
ty lady clerks, who dispose of from two
to three hundred letters each per day.
In the great majority of cases the date
and signature of the letter give all
necessary information, and the letter,
with its original envelope, is soon ready
for its return trip. There are many in
which the post-office is not given in the
heading. In business, as well as social
letters, the writer often used perhaps a
name by which the neighborhood is
commonly called, or some romantic
name which he chooses to apply to his
farm or residence. In such cases the
lack is frequently supplied by the post-
mark on the envelope. In thousands of
cases when the letters are between rela-
tlvcs and friends, the signatures are of
the familiar and affectionate sort, such
as “ Dick," “ Sallie," “ Mother,” “ Sister,”
or “Ducky," all proper enough in their
way, but quite too indefinite to be of
any service to the examiner. Such let-
ters are generally of no real value, and
are of necessity consigned to the flames.
. When the heading and signature are
sufficient the letter is not read, but the
class mentioned are examined, as the
body of the letter sometimes supplies
the missing link. If foundto be only
a letter of friendship, and containing
. nothing of importance, it is quickly cast
aside. If it relates to business affairs,
or contains information of important
social and domestic affairs, such as
deaths, marriages, etc., all reasonable
effort is made to discover either the
' writer or the person addressed. Fre-
quently letters of inquiry are written
by the clerks, and information thus
gained may be the means of the letter
reaching its destination. But in case
the letter furnishes the writer’s name
and address, no distinction is made as
to whether a letter is important or not,
all are returned. It is considered that
its person writes tohis friend and gets
no answer, It will be a satisfaction to
him to know that his friend did not
receive it. Indeed, the administration
of the Post Office Department in every
branch is governed by the idea, to its
fullest extent, that it is wholly for the
benefit and convenience of the people
at large.
Full Dress in New Guinea.
The beaux and belles of New Guinea
are by no means forbidding. Imagine
aman about five feet nine inches in
height, his body a nice brown color,
covered, if he be amasher, with red
earth, and varnished with oil, his face
painted In different colors and a piece
of polished stone through his nose, his
10 «hair frizzy, ornamented with bird-
ofr-‘ghcadise plumes and cockateo feath-
ers, his teeth black or red, his ears
weighed down with huge ear ema-
ments, his waist compressed to wasp-
ish proportions-with a broad belt of
bark, shell armlets upon his arms and
dogs’ teeth necklaces around his neck,
a breast ornament of boars’ tusks or
pearl shell, a gayly printed waist rib-
hon, with long streamers In front and
behind, anklets and kneelets of colored
flax, and a small, netted bag over his
shoulder; imagine all this, and you have
a typical New Guinean. The women
are like the men for rigginess. The
young girls wear a great abundance of
ornaments, but after marriage fewer,
They are all profusely tattooedand wear
a colored petticeat which reaches to the
knee.
She Ontweighed the Bible.
The sight of the old Church Bibles
reminds us of the days of yore, when
persons suspected of witchcraft were
often weighed against them, writes
William Andrews, F. R. H. S., in Home
Chimes. We find, in turning over the
pages of the Annual Register, under
the year 1759, the following allusion to
the practice:
“ One Susanna Hannokes, an elderly
woman of Wingrove, near Aylesbury,
was accused by a neighbor for bewitch-
ing her spinning-wheel, so that she
could not make it go round, and offered
to make oath of it before a magis-
trate; on which the husband, in order
to justify his wife, insisted upon her
being tried by the Church Bible, and
that the accuser should be present.
Accordingly she was conducted to the
parish church, where she was stript Of
all her clothes to her shift and under-
coat and weighed against the Bible,
when, to the no small mortification of
her accuser, she overweighed it and
was honorably and speedily acquitted
of the charge.”
The belief in witchcraft lingered a
long time in that country; and even as
late as 1768 that great and good man,
the Rev. John Wesley, wrote in his
lournal: “The giving up witchcraft is
In effect giving up the Bible.” The
laws against witches were repealed
In 1736 with little opposition, although
not long prior to this year Mrs. Hicks,
together with her daughter, a child of
nine, was executed at Huntingdon on
July 28, 1716, “ for raising a storm of
.» wind by pulling off her stockings and
making a lather of soap in a basin in
league with the devil.” They were the
last persons hanged in England for
witchcraft.

M
Away With Unwholesome Fiction.
There never was a more unwholeseme
Idea than that every human passion is
to be written about. There are many
things which cannot be written about
without doing almost unmitigated mis-
chief. It is not the moral put in at
the tag-end of the book, and which no-
body reads, which shows its moral ten‘
dency. It is not only the way in which
a subject is handled which does harm
or good. It is the subjects that are
handled. The fact that a nation pro-
duces and reads novels written on foul
subjects is a fearful test of its state of
mind, and no amount of moral writing
on foul subjects will cure it. The only
possible salvation for it is to drawits
attention elsewhere. It must he edu-
cated to something better. When the
circulating libraries of England made
their protest last year against the so-
called realistic school novel they were
not only acting in perfect accord with
the vast majority of their subscribers,
but were preserving that tradition of
the English novel which was started by
Richardson and Sir Walter Scott, and
has made the novel what it is, both in
England and America. If any one were
to tell us that he thinks the realistic
School more manly than that of Sir
Walter we should rate his unconscious
criticism of himself as of considerably
higher value than his criticism of lit-
crature.

A Deadly Electric Sword.
A gentleman of Shanghai has, after
considerable experimenting, invented
a new and deadly weapon. This is an
electric swordfwhich, when the point
touches the party attacked, sends a
powerful shock through him, and if
not immediately killing will at least
put him hora dc combat. The sword is
an ordinary military sabre, but along
its whole length is letin a fine platinum
wire, which ends at the foil of the
weapon. A small but very powerful
"storage battery is carried strapped
about the waist, much the same as a
cartridge-box. Insulated wires con-
nect this battery with the sword, and
by pressing a button the holder can
complete the cigcuit at pleasure.
