Many dairymen practice milking their

Ukdeb drains were used by the Ro

mans and constructed of wood. Even,

brush drains have been made in various parts of England. Thorough draiuage came into practice about the middle of the present century, through the exertions of Mr. Smith, of Deanstone, and for a time stone was the principal material used in their construction. They were either thrown in promiscuously or laid out in throats or channels. When tiles or pipes came into use stones were laid-around them, but it is found that less coil percolates into the tile when the earth is close' around it. Thb following is given as an excellent method of plucking poultry : Hang the fowl by the feet with a light cord; then with a small knife give one cut across the upper jaw opposite the corners of the mouth ; after uie blood has stopped running a stream, place the point of a knife in the upper part of the -mouth, run the blade on into the back part of the head, which will cause a twiching of the museles. Immediately following this operation is tlio proper time for plucking the fowl, as every yield as if by magi?, and there ia no idanger of tearing the most tender chick. Hiirrour shows that the establishment of the beet-sugar industry in France and Germ any was the outcome of not one year, but twenty years, of careful scientific work. Many experiments proved failures, and many men were found who said Irom the first that the manufacture of sugar from beets was: a' commercial impossibility. But in spite of adverse criticisms, partial failures and the opposition of many interested pi-ftiee,J the beet-sugar industry did succeed, and today two-flfths of the sugar consumed by the oiviiused.world ia manufactured, at-a-profit, from sugar beets. It is a practice with many farmers to place a load or two of somewhat green' hay cm the top of the mow, thinking that i t will dry under such circumstances without injury, and finally turn out prett fair hay, This is "a mistake, The greenest hay Should be placed at the bottom of the mow ; it will heat some and throw off the moisture, and

' An Amshioah traveler in Italy who, though noticing many fields of Indian corn growing there, yet never fouud either Johnny cake, boo cake, hominy, or any similar delicacy, .on the hotel tablet was somewhat at loss to know what use was made of this cereal. He writeii: "Where a part of this corn meal goes I have discovered. It goes into hnrse-hread, Horse-brAtd is. of course, the bread on which Italian horses are fed, for all horses hereabouts are baited on loaves of bread. Passing along the sueets anywhere in any ol these cities, i.nd as for north as Munich, you nee a man on almost every corner holding a loaf of brehd in his left hand and a knife iu his right, and cutting off slices and feeding to Us horse. It ia au (1(1 sight at first Examining this bread, I find it is mado of wheat or rye, with oatmeal and corn meal added. It ia penetally soft and sweet. At Milan I iiad grown rather tired of the iron-clad table bread, dry and tasteless within, but with a crust so thick and shiny that it was idmost impervious to assault ; to I

went out on the street and got a couple of slices of horse-bread. It was far more acceptable to tho party than the bread on which we were being fed. Some ol this corn meal, too, finds its way into the "black bread" fed to the army. Soldiers are everywhc-i-e present iu Italy, aud every day detachments go along guarding great wngoim pitched high with these gloomy-looking loaves, covered with dust aud dirt, and seeming entirely too filthy even for horses to eat. This ia the chief food for 'the army." ' '

n , German Emigration. There abundant reason why ithese people should come to us, and very little why they nlioultl remain where they are. There is no doubt that one and all of them have a natural attaohment for the laud iu which they have boon born and reared, or that they will shake the dust ot Germany off their feet with many and bitter regrets ; for the Germans are not only a home-keeping people, but patriotism is a very vital force with them. But if they are patriotic they are also -prao-tioal, and if Germany makes lite harder than it ieed be, and now careers can be secured elsewhere under better auspices, her children will smother their compunctious now as aforetimes, and will go where they can have a living chance for tliemselves:satl for their children. The kind of government to which they have been subjected from time immemorial has always pressed heavily upo:i the Germans of all classes in life, but especially upon the commonalty, and it would seoni that the present Imiierisl system presses rather harder than any other kind of government. That the Germans do not need to be ruled with a particularly heavy hand our experience, aith them abundantly proves. Ve have no more industrious, frugal, law-abiding, orderly, and useful class of foreign-born citizens than .those which come to- ua from the land wjbere Bismarck's policy of iron aud blood apparently render life scarcely worth having. It is the. conscription that these emigrants who are hurrying to our shores are chiefly Hying from, aud if they keep hurrying at the present rate, it will soon become a question with the powers that be whother something must not be done to modify the system which compels so large a portion of the male population to pass the best years of their lives under arms, or else to check em ignition. It cert ainly sooins feasible to devise some method of preventing the military service from being thb bugaboo that it now-is, while maintaining the military establishment at its proper strength for the meeting of certoiu contingencies which are exceedingly likely to occur ui. tho noar future. These contingencies would not have their present importance hod the men at the -head of German affairs refrained from pushing their enemies of i870 aud 1871 to the wall, but they oouhl not recist the temptation to humiliate the liTenc'h to thenittermost, nnd now they are paying the very dearest-possible price for their lack of generewity aiul s-jites-manlike foreast The modification of the military system, however, so as to ive the young ine;n of Germany some .mil of reasonable prettixt'for stayitig at home instead ot flying to America, does tot seem to occur to the rulers of Germany; while they have lioen cudgelling their ..nuns for a good- while past to put some cheek on emigration. In this, however, they have thus far had little or no success, wuj are net- likdfy to haw except by tho adoption of stringent measures such as oven so bold and unscirupulous a man as Bismarck would be apt to hesitate about proposing.

Stories About Blind Hen. Three men, two of them blind, were drinking together one night, in the room

of a publio house, and as is too often the result of such convivial meetings, one of the blind men- quarreled 'And came to blows with the man that could sea,, Here, was likely to be a battle not by any means on equal terms. But the other blind man was equal to the occasion. That the man who could Bee should have uo undue advantage over his less fortunate opponent, up jumped the blind friend and ttirnfed off tho gas, and so they pommeled each other in a harmless tray for a time. We have given an il

lustration of the warlike passion. As an onset we could give many illustratrations of the gentler passion, love, for the blind aro-!emineUt disciples of Cupid and Hymen; .- As a (rule a respectable blind man has no difficulty in getting a

Only lately the marriaga took place of si blind couple' somewhat advanced in years, she being his seoond wife, andjie'her third blind husliaiid, The marriage was not wanting in the'

elements of romance, for in their young days they hud courted, and parted, blind in a double sense. We will conclude

with a courtship,, but in this ease will not voueh for -its truth. A blind man on

sevorn occasions met a widow, who was not, however, like himself, blind, and latterly concluded that she would make him a good wife. He resolved that- he would "pop .the question" without loss of time. Accordingly, one eveuiug fouud hime in the widow s house for that purpose, when his suit was entirely successful.

It has been disoovered by Dr. Luton of Bheims that the tincture of ergot ef rye associated with phosphate of soda produces an hilarious excitement on those to whom it is administered, the exhilaration resembling that cause by laughing gas.

Alexander finds evidence of the existence of some envelope, like an atmosphere, on the moon. The oxplauatioiif usually offered for the ruddy band of light seen around the lunar disc during eclipses he considers inadequate. This bright band can best be accounted for by supposing an atmosphere to the moon a thin remnant of ancient nebulosity, comparable to that whioh accompanies the earth and gives rise to the appearance of the aurora borealis. The ancients had theories to account for earthquakes and very ourious they become in the light of modern investigations. Anaxagoros, the Bhodian, saw iu them a sort of cosmic flatulence winds which had strayed into caverns having no outlets; Aristotle believed them to be due to the infiltration of water through a rocky sea bottom, producing vapors, Pliny ascribed them to the pressure of air confined in deep caves, reacting against the collapse of over-lying rock strata; while St, Thomas, of Aquinas, most ingeniously explained that earthquakes may arise from the Mrnggk'S of defunct disbelievers trying to escape from a pit of torment. A cuiuoos application of electricity is now employed iu the Spanish army. Conscripts wishing to escape military service have, it seems, oftcu resorted to tho trick of bending the body while being measured, so as to bring their statnru below the limit prescribed for the service. To prevent fraud bf this kind is the object of the new device. When the man is standing perfectly erect the backs of the legs nt the knees press against electric contacts, causing two pells to ring, while a third bell is similarly rung by pressure of tho head. For a eorreot measurement the three bells should ring simultaneously. The ringing ceases when there is the least bending. A SiLESfAv physician, Dr. George Gutiuiaii, has published die results of his experience with pilocarpi!!, a newlyintrouucod medical principle, in the treatment of diphtheria. . While studying the effects of this drug he found that it proilueeil a greatly-iuereased flow of saliva without inll unniatioii of the salivary glands ; and he was led to believe that tho increased secretion of saliva won',d tenel to dissolve and remove the f;i !se membrane of diphtheria. He therefure decided to try the remedy in cases of that disease, aud has met with such rumiu-kablo success that ko pronounces piloearpin a specific fot diphtheria. In eighteen months he treated eighty-one eases of the disease with the best results in every c ise. Several of the cases must have proved fatal under the old treatment, while in about one-half there was considerable development of false membrane. The patients have invariably recovered iu a very short period. With but two or three exceptions, convalescence has followed the most critical cases in from two to five days, and the milder ones iu two or three days. The Jaw of Lost Property. What ought the finder of a lost article to do? Most pecplo will give a ready atswer. He should. do his bent-to discover the owner aud restore the dost pioperty to him. But this standard of moral duty being imperfeel'ly reeognize-d by the law, it will be interesting to review the decisions on this subject. 1. The finder need not take charge of the lost property. There is no legal duty on him to do it ; but if he does take it into his possession, he then becomes a depository, and is bound to keep it fcr the owner und restore it to him when known. How long he must keep it, or what effort, he-shouldmake-to find the owner, have not, been laid down. 2. ' If the 'IU'rider'" does not restore the piojierty upon c'lscovering the owner, does ha commit theft? This depends on whether' he knew, or hod reasonable means of knowing, who the owner was at the time f.f tlullflig. It has been held that the h'jdor ol a pocketbook, having

tb owner s name legibly written on it, is- a thief if he conceals and appropriates tlnj money; but if there is nothing to indicate the owner, he does not become a thief in law by so doing. ' .'). The owner may aft auy time reclaim hie property, and if the finder refuses to give it up, can- recover it or the value of it from him. Bfii as against any one but tho owner the finder's title is good. 4. When is a 5totDg to be considered as lost? It has be--'u said in several oases that money or other property laid down and forgotten is not lost in the leal sense of the word. The proprietor of the shop, or bank, or place where it is left is the proper person to -ke ohorge of it, anil tho? who pick ur, the property have no right to keep it; On the other hand, it han been held that where ia conductor found money in a railway car, whose owae-r could not lie ascertained, he had a good title to the money,. , " t. Is the finiler entitled to be paid for

his fefoublearft' expense? He need not

take charge of H, turn it seems mat it ne deies so ho must look only to the gratitude and good feeling of the owner for reward. . . G. What if a rewr.rd l offered? There is uo doubt that any one who, seeing. the offer, sets to work to find the property, will, 'if he succeed, be entitled to the reward, and may even retaiu -the property till it be paid. But if he. already has the missing article in his possession whon the reward is offered, or has withheld the property in the expectation tha? a reward would be offered, the rule is.lio opposite.

There was a question among the early Christians as to the propriety of wearing, 'ir. militai-y festivals, laurel wreaths, because laurel was called after Daphne, the lover of Apollo, the haul hen god.. In 1596, David Bhv, a Protestant minister in Scotland, dulivered a f ennon in which he faid that "s to the Queen of Scotland, they might as well pray for her beoause.it was the fashion to dc so, but no good would eve r come of it.
