It contains the nutritive element of the muscular tiber, blood, lione and brain of can-fully selected, hea th v bullocks dissolved iu rare old Sherry wine. To be precise, each tablespoonful contains the nutritive element of one ounce of -hie beef, one (train atd a half t-t pure .uinine and two grain of iron. It a'jtovmbodies a concentrated extract of ova, a South American ton it; of which Sir Robert i fcrjt;-n. M. !., F. K.

The least thing will icake a quarrel, l'retty much everybody believes nowadays that the defeat of the liepublican party was due to Mr. IJla'ne'-s turkey-cock epithet which he fastened upon Koscte Conkling. A bright, keen tbin said by one public man about another is pretty ure to live. Nobody ever looks at old Jo? Brown without thinking of Senator Ittgtlls' picture f the oli man washing his hands with invisible soap in imperceptible water. O'.d Joe himself made a comment on Ilea Hill that made the two enemies for lifo. Jorxebody asked Governor Urown what he thought of I3en Hill, old Joe aid, ia his quaint way: "Seester Jlill is a very good fentlemaD, bnt be lack ju dreien t." This rep'y. made with his deliberate prjnarKiia'.ioa tf rlnal syllables, in a way that caused a gre it 1 of humor in the Senate came round to Tax. Kill, and Le rieTfT filter .rar.l spoke to JCe iirown. It is a very eay iLins J? s'r t n JLte relatior.s between two ambitioas me J, eicially if they come from the same State. Kerublicans watch with humorous curiosity the xelations between Plumb and Inalls. The two do not exactly aililiate. but they menage to pet along without an open tight. Thfj are very unlike in temperament, Plumb being a self-made man, who rose from the 1 rir.ter's case, whose grammar is down at the e3 and who has an exhuberance of brains and feelinp. and at the same time a vulvar jrreed for money. And he cares little how he pets it, whether by square investments or round onea. Ingalls Is a student, college-bred, reclusive, independent, poor, and proud. II?, in t:s heart, despises Plumb for his vulgarity and want of culture. Still, the two get on together fairly well. A good deal of the feme thing exist3 between McMillan and fabin. of Minnesota. McMilltn ha3 De?a Chief Justice of the State, a fine lawyer, and a college graduate, while Sabin is a self-made nan wio, a little over twenty years a?o, with bis pants in his boots, wearing a gingham ehirt, hauled cord wood into pringrield, J!a5S.. and stood around on street corners, etanipirjg his fe-t to keep warm until a cmtfcncer came. With $12,jJ, not all his own, ike proceeds of the sale ot his father's farm, he made his start in Minnesota, and two jean ago, at the time of ius failure, was eirngo,si u:e time qi ujs. iauure, was forth T robably o,''V',Cr'X allot VnkL, I enture to say, will eaia be his own in fair w tenture ard sqtiare riplit. The two seldom meet tech other, and trust to silence to preserve the reace. Probably the strömest and nnst wholesale affection between any tivo men in the Senate exists between Sawyer and John t-jconer. Sawyer looks upon John with all tie fondness and admiration of a father; and Le treats him as such, and the junior Senator looks up to Fhiletus Sawyer with an almot filial regard. Put, speaking about how careful Senators are in what they say .oout each other, reluicds me to repeat a little colloquy which I was J riviledpe 1 to overhear between Spooner ai.d Sabin. I loth are prime gool fellows, k-en as wtips, and eood natured a-s b;ys. The otter tlay they had gone into the marblerocm in rtply to a card, and chanced to n.et. Spooner ii very plain ami out-fj-t-ken, lie happened tö ak Sabin cirele;ly if he were going that night to a dinrer to which they had both been invite!, cabin said 'Yes.'' A bystander remarked ttat he had better take along a pair of cork legs to go home on. because the hot was toted for his excellent wine cellar. The rercark eemei to touch Spooner up very elarply, and be turned on 8bia und remarked, with diabolical incisiveness, "That's it. Satin; yoa will go there and you will ririck yourself blind." The remark was made in all seriousnejs. Sabin turned it oft 1 thtly. "Bat," added Spooner, -it is not a jcke. You remember the last time jou went to a big dinner in New York you came bcrxe and was sick for a w-eek. Y ou are no freat drinker, but you can see just what a iittle wine can do for a fellow when he is out cf health. Now, you had better do as I do say 'So' to everything of the kind. If I were on the edge of eternity I think I would show so Hie sense, and If it were nothing score than the renunciation of good wine I wo lid make it." Sabin siJ, with an ugly lock of seriousness in his ee: "John, don't yen think you are talk ir 5 to plain?" wuirleJ tn Lis heel and wentotf. SjKoner is not a teetotaler, and has never had much tj sa? ne way or other about temperance, but it is a fact that he never touches a drop of liquor f any kind. Whenever he is questioned about it, and about the general subject of temjrance, he replies indifferently: ' I Lav three boys that I love. They have xtver melled liquor in my breath and they rever shall." That's the only temperance argument that he has ever made. Tte London Times recently said that the f-mithsonian Institution afforded a better onrse of ethnological teaching, based on jhmitive relics, than can be had anywhere )e in the world.

Oüß FARM BUDGET. Kew Zealand Spinch Watering Place in a Creek.

TTarble minds on Ilorsca Lookout Grass for Pigs Canada Field reas Bees How IIow to Keep Fowls Household Hints and Farm Notes. New Zealand Spinach. American Agriculturist. The heats of July and August are too much for spinach, which, ii it does not run to seed, trows slowly, and is without the succulence hat it has in the earier months. While spinach is in perfection, one wants nothing better, but it is well to prepare for the months when that can not be had, by sowing seed of the New Zealand spinach. This plant is not at all related to the true spinach, but belongs to the same family with the ice-plant. The plant grows very slow at first and makes but little show, but as the heat increases the better does this New Zealander like it, and after it has made a fair start, it goes on branching and spreading in every direction. The seed3 are rather slow in starting, and if one have the conveniences for doing so, it is well to sow the seeds in pots; after the seeds are up, thin, leaving but three or four plants in a p.t. Jlake well-manured hills, six feet apart each way, and turn out the ball of earth containing the plants, and set it in the center of the hill. The seed may also be sown in drills, which should be" three feet apart. Sow thinly, and when the plants are up, thin to a foot apart. The leaves are to be gathered for use, leaving the ends of the branches uninjured. It is used in the same manner as spinach. Watering Place in it Creek. 'attle naturally select a certain place in a watercourse to drink at, where the bank is not precipitous. During a part of the year this bank is muddy, on account of its moilture and trampling of the animals. As a result the horns get the scratches, the cows come to the milking pen with, muddy udhrs, aiid frequently animals are injured by the crowding in the mud. llocrs are often serif-usly injured, because the mud becomes so deep and tough t hat they are well nigh helpless m it. Another objection is that the animals watte to the middle of the creek, and soon make its bottom as muddy as the I ar:k, and the water becomes until for drinking. A convenient and inexpensive arrangement, which may be built of I ecvy p'ank, hrick, or Hat stöne, prevents all 'bis. It is constructed bv first making an incline to a lerel platform fur the animals to siai'd on while drinking. This plane terminates in an abrupt descent, forming a trough, fhe trough should not be more than two feet wide, that the animals may easily get across it. The level floor pernios the animals to drink at their euse, often a matter of importance. Such a drink' 1 place should be made at the upper en' of the creek, where it passes through a fiel I to prtvent the animals from soiling the w .':er standing in it above where they drink. Warblts. If during the summer months you notice the cattle running furiously about the pasture, ar.d occasionally stopping to look fjr WE?!hing neither you nor they can see, it is pretty Cfrtam that the cattle rly, or cattle bot (oestrus bovisV is at workoa their tnck. This is the fly that stiegs cattle Of all ages on the back and deposits her eggs under the skin. In a short time a small swelling is observed, which is increased by the development of lymph and growth of the larra, aud in tin e the grub crawls out through the orifice, which is always open to furnish the grub with air. When the growth of the larva has proceeded long enough, the b.t way to remove them is by gentle pressure of the fingers, just as though you were pressin the core out of a boil. l)o not press hard enough to kill the grub, for then it will have to come out by supperation, a slow process, that is exhausting to the cow. When the grul s are but partly grown the orifice is too small for them to work their way out. With a fine syringe, inject sweet oil through the orifice, which will smother the grub ami brirjg early relief to the cow. Some persans recommend kerosene in preference to sweet oil. but it is too irritating. Dusting the cows backs with Persian insect powder is cl. ap, :md cfiersive or destructive to r.iost ;n:it;. The t se of Hiinds on Horses Tf e custom of Using blinds on horses in-ri's-criiiiirately is a reat error. Carriage bcrsrslook well in showy head-gear, and handsome blinds are a great improvement to 1 he sty le and general appearance qX Tea', well set up carriage horses, liut for buggy, car, ca it, stage, wa-'on, truck and generi! travel they are wholly unnecessary, and, as regards safety, they are a detriment rather than an advantage. What do surface car holies want with blinds? Horses, like ourselves, want to see where they are going, and tte horse that shies proves that he wants to keep ont of danger by the very fict of his v e must consider that a horse leading an artificial life like ourselves, walking in the dark in a strange place, doesn't see what is around him it he baa blinds on, and is there fore r.aturallv timid and careful. If a hore is tco carefui and take too wide a circuit in shying, it is with the best intentions fro-u his instincts. Hut because he does it a lfttle too much, and more than his driver seen necessary, he should not l ab ised, btv spoLen too softly and kindly, ami Inn encouraced. for he means n" wrong. The stu pid lurk head will eo so close ta hola that one wheel will fall into it, hut not having s'ud'.ed geometry, he does not know the ex.ict hngth of the axlei, and the distsnce necessary to keep from the danger. Mn himself doesn't keep from danger at all times, though he has th" advantage of sense and reason supplied hi to. Look Out Tor The advertiser who has a koO'I clerical position to ofler. but wants you o in ik "a deposit of $V) or more as a guarun'ee of your reliability." The liirhtnine-ro.' acent who agrees to encae a farm building with lightning rod for T. and subsequently presents a bill lor $103 WWJ lor the roua and - for putting them up. The party who tells rights for a worthless patent process for curing tobacco. Worthless recipes for curing hog cholera and otner animal diseases. Swindlers who claim royalties on tome patented article which they may rind in a farmer's possession. uaek traveling dentists who advertise to furnish a set of teeth fully as good as the best for a very small sura of money. Organizers of stock companies who have jnat a few more shares, and are willing to let you in "on we ground noor." The "experienced responsible lawyer," who says he "stands high in his profession," has a record of winning "ninety per cent, of his t, 1 . cases, anu win uo your jawing ior you on shares. The railrcad scalpers who very frequently paim on wortniess tickets is genuine upon the unsuspecting. The sharpers wbo are advert'sine Austral ian and Kusslan oats, which are no better than the scalled Bohemian oats. Orasa for Pia;. In some cases it is not convenient to pasture pigs; under such circumstances, says the Live Stock Journal, they may be kept healthy by feeding succulent grass in pen, with a yard for exercise. If grass in the most succulent condition is given '2 per cent, may be deducted from our lieu res. A biz will ret a la r re rart of its living nnon Dtitritious grasa fur several months, but if 1 cr.ttrned wholly to grass will rrow too alow ' 1 1 w . 1 .a jj, cuu jjv uniuic H varij a uetircu,

and if the pig is kept several months longer to mature nothing is gaiued byt he grass, as its sappy growth must be ripened on grain, and it often takes more grain than to have ripened it while the grass was fed. One error often made by pig feeders is in counting the value of growth made upon grass alone as equal to growth made upon grain, or grass t nd grain together. When pigs are pastured upon good grass and fed a small amount of gram at the same time the growth made is ripened as fast as made, and if the pigs were sold directly from pasture would not shrink, as in the other case. When pigs .have been fed for some months upon crass alone, and are taken from pasture to fatten, it is often found that they will not pain in weight on grain feeding for several weeks, because the grain is all used to ripen the sappy growth upon grass; therefore pigs should always be fed grain with grass. Canada Field Peas. Mr. J. E. Northrup, of Minneapolis, writes the North Dakota Farmer: The small white field peas commonly known as Canada field peas should be grown by every farmer. They are one of the "matter-of-course" crops on almost every Kastern farm, while ia Canada they are, next to barley, the most important production. In the first place there is no crop so light on the soil, and fits it S3 well for barley or wheat, as one of peas. They leave the land in good condition and serve as an excellent preparation for the crop which is to follow. They are very profitable, either for the market or consumptisn on the farm. They will average a better yield per acre than heat, bring as much money per bushel,and alwajs lind ready ?ale. Sown with oats and cut green they make most excellent feed. Kipened and thrashed, they are fattening, nutritious, and greatly relished by stock. As feed for hogs they are invaluable. Peas are very hardy and can be safely sown as soon as the frost is out of the ground, as they will endure cold anl unfavorable weather, under which other crops would succumb, without harm. A fair yield Is from twmty to twenty-five bushels per acre. Peas will ripen and be ready for harvest in from sixty to seventy d-ys. They are easily harvested, the usual method being to roll with a scythe. From two and a half to three bushels are usually sown to the acre. There are several varieties of these peas, all commonly known as "Canada peas," but differing somewhat as to productiveness, habit of growth, etc. The "golden vine" and "crown" peas 2re those best known, but a new variety called the ''Prince Albert" has lately apr eared in Canada, and combines in a marked degree all the qualities most to be dsind. Now that the importance of diversifying farm crops is occupying the minds of thouthtful farmer?, the value of field peas, as a crop, should not escape investigation. Hees Swarming Out. J. C. Wilson, of Ridgeland, S. C, writes U the Ike Journal: On April 17 I had twj colonics of bees swarm out within a few minutes of each other, and se;t!e neir together. As I was too busy to give them attention my brother in law undertook tj put each swarm into a separate hive, but not beirg accustomed to handling bees he sjon succeeded very nicely in uettmg both swr;u3 into ci.e hive, and thiniing all would 0 well, xcept the combat beUeen the quet-ns, be p'.iced the hive where it was t j stand. Alt it noon the following day I found the pert t o still tiiled with bt es l think a i ut four quarts and I determined t) see if I could not tickle the sulks out of them, put ihtm into the hive, and they woalJ the 1 go to v. ork. During the process of tickling, wUch was done with a sna'l limo

ficm a bush, with a leaf or Uo on it, I found one of the oueeLS ball-M " I washed the bees oil In a hltfn of Wtter and caged the queen and took her to n.y piazza steps, about fifty yards from the bee-yard. As she dried off I otfered her honey, whtch she took ravenously, and I de termined to pass her to another cage, which I thought tetter for introducing, and in so doing I . let her get awar. .she made one circl to mark the location and then r!ev away. Givirg her up as lost-, I returned lo the hiTe to go on with the tickling, when, to my astonish nent, I found the other queen "balled a so. Atter washing the bee s form and caging her I again repaired to the steDs to take care of her. A moment after I reached the steps the first queen, which had flown away about twenty-five minutes previously, returned. I knocked her down with my hand then picked her up and airain caged her, and intro duced! her to the colony, and all is go ing on well. I his may be none x thing to eiemn bee-keepers, but to me it teache ! me important lessons vi: Firs I believe tl e bees "balled both queens while fighting in ordert.. ::tp themselves from total destiuetior: -i second, how quickly and precisely l ce . ark their location. Uo.. to Keep l"ovl. Vör cn.eral purpose fowls, writes a corre al ondent of the Uural New Yorker, I would e:t the lißlit JJrahma lor crossing on the cniiiioij stock, because the offspring is a latge, wtll-developed, handsome fowl, very hardy and free from disease. Moreover, it fattens readily, and always brings the highest price in the market. Such birds are very dccire, and the hens are good layers of large ejrgs. Fence poultry in rather than let them s-oil the garden, biit don't confine them in small pens. Make roomy yards for tbem and they will do better than when allowed to roam about at will, always seeking an optortunity to do mischief. I have never note 1 any differer.ee between the epgs from birds on high and dry land and those from others or the same on low and damp ground, but I would not advise anybody to buy fowls and traml'er them from very dry to very ov land. Place the eggs under a caref.il hen as soon as convenient after they have been received from the dealer. If ou can not set tltm immediately, unpack them carefully and pla:e them in a broad vessel, only one layer in depth, and keen them in a cool (not col J) room. Turn tbem every day, so that the yolk may not settle to one side. In this way they may be kept good for several days. I do not find any dirl'ererce in the shape, size, quality or number cf eggs, whether cooks are kept with the flock or not; but if I were keepine hens for the production of eggs only I would not keep many, if aDy, cocks, as they vruld consume considerable food and give n J return whatever fcr it. In summer nothing rquals graf s as a green food, either for poultry or fo' anything else. In winter anything that comes the nearest to grass would undoubtedly be the best. For the farmer who keeps only a mo-Jerate sized flock the refuse of cabbage, potatoes, etc., from the kitchen, cut up fine and fed to the fowls, is, in my opinion, the most economical and the best ereen food. To cure the hens of the desire to ait, shut them up in a small coop, giving . . . . r . - 1 . plenty 01 water anu leeum sparingly, though by no means starving them. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Meat Pie. Take mashed potatoes, seasoned with salt, butter and milk, and line a baking dish. Lay noon it slices of cold meat of any kind; add salt, pepper, catsup and butter, or any cold gravy ; put in a layer of potatoes and another layer of meat In the same way till the dish is full: have a layer of potatoes on the top. Bake it until thoroughly heated through. Caledonian Cream Two ounces of rasp berrv iam. or ielly. two of red currant jelly. two of sifted loaf sugar, the whites of two etM?s out into a bowl, and beaten with a spoon for three quarters of an hour. This make! a very pretty cream, anu ia goou anu economical. Gelatine Puddinff. Half a box of gelatine dissolved in half a pint of cold water. Beat tbe yolks of four etrgs and three tablespoonsful of suear. and turn into the gelatine and water. Have ready a quart ot Doiiin? miiK. Pour the mixture into the milk and stir it until it boils. Horse Cakes. Many people have a pe :uvr finrv for these plain cakes, eaten first in early childhood; hence we are glad to eive a tried recipe for tnem, rocb as can be made at tome to pleaae the children, old ami

young. Two quarts of flour, one quart of molasses (not sirup), one cupful cf sugar, half a cupful of ginger, four teaspoonfuls of soda, a cupful of sour cream, and a heaping tablespoonful of lard. Sift the flour first and then sprinkle the ginger well through it; add the sugar and molasses, putting in last the soda dissolved in the sour cream. Of course you must have from the tinner a cutter shaped like a horse if you would have the delight of the children perfect. Custard for Cake. One pint of rich new milk, one erg. one tablespoonful of flour, one of corn starch. Flavor same as cake; sweeten to taste. Boil until thick in tin or earthen vessel, set in hot water. When nearly cool, spread on all of the cake but one and put together the same as jelly cake; cover the top layer with soft icing. Oilcloths. Oilcloths should not be scrubbed with a brush, nor should strong soapsuds be used upon them, as this dims the colors and destroys the fibre. Wash them every week with warm milk and water, allowirg a quart of skim milk to a pail of warm water, and wiping after with a woolen cloth. To Clean Paint. To clean handsome paint the best method is to have a quarter of a pound of fine whiting in a saucer. Dip in a small cloth and rub it on the paint, as in rubbing silver. Then wash off with hot suds, and wipe with a dry cloth. Or, use borax in the water, which is the next best method, and sa polio rather than sand. Klankets. Blankets, if only occasionally used during the summer, may be kept either in a Jarge trunk with bits of camphor in it. or laid between two mattresses, the latter method being preferred by many housekeepers who have no large closet for stowing such articles. Carpets Ingrain or other carpets, after shaking, are brightened in color by sprinkt ing a pound of salt over the surface and sweeping carefully. Some persons say it is a good plan to occasionally wipe off a carpet with borax, using a thick flannel and taking care not to wet, but only dampen the carpet. Moths To get rid of moths benzine is always effectual, and can be poured about buttons in furniture, etc., without staining or leaving any odor, as it quickly evaporates. If moths are found thickly in any article, put it in a warm oven over night, and the next morning beat it thoroughly. A Corner Closet. Where it is necessary to have every-day hats, overcoats, umbrellas, etc., in the sitting or dining room, this corner closet will be found a convenient place for shielding them from view and protecting them from dust; besides, it is often an improvement to the appearance of the room. A triangular board is fastened in the corner at the proper height and a curtain made of cretonne or dark Canton flannel hung from it on a piece of stout wire and brass rings. A number of hooks are placed on each side of the closet and a narrow band across the bottom to keep the rubbers in. A pocket is made for the umbrellBs, canes, etc., and tacked in the corner. An old straw hat. gilded or painted, is placed on the top, filled with grasses and cat tails. ilice Cream. One cup of rice boiled soft, but not to a pas'e Two cups of milk, four eggs, a cup of sugar, vanilla extract, a cup of whipped cream. Make the egs, milk and supar into a custard, season with vanilla. Scald the milk first, pour this upon the beaten eggs and sugar, aad let it get almost cold before you beat in the whipped cream. Set to form in a wet mold on iw. When you are ready for it turn out on a glass dish. Fa?s brsndird peaches and light cake with it. How to Destroy Lice on Plants. Take of quassia chips, ounces; lark spur seed, 5 drachms; boil these together in seven pints of water until it is reduced to 5 pints. When tbe liquor is cool, strain it and use with a wateiing pot or syringe, as may be most convenient. This is a most excellent method of destroying all insects on plants without injury to the latter. It is recommended by the highest authorities. Creoanut Puddinc. No. I. One ouart of

milk, five eggs, one cocoanut grated. BU the eggs and sugar together, and stir thcra into the milk while hot. Then strain the milk and eggs, and add the cocoanut with nutmeg to the taste. Bake about twenty minutes like puddings. No. 2: Three quarters of a pound of grated cocoanut, quarter of a pound of butter, one uound of sugar, half a pint of cream, nine eggs, one gill of rose water. Stir the butter and sugar as for cake, and aid the eggs well beaten. irate the cocoanut, and stir it in with the butter and eggs. Put in other ingredients, and bake with or without a crust. To Drive Nails. Dip them in lard. FARM NOTES. De irregular in salting, and the milk will sdow it in quality. If you plant evergreens do so before the buds have fairly broken into new growth. Kemember your horses caa not tell you of their ills and pains. It is your duty to watch for tbem. Unless the manure is old and well rotted it should not be allowed to touch the roots of the fruit trees, but to spread upon the surface. In ploughing under green crops it should be done while the crop is yet green and full of sap. generally before it has attained full growth. Too long pulls 011 a muddy road often hurt the wind ot a horse. When they begin to breathe heavily it is time to give them a "blow." The Colorado Cattle ; rowers Association has 5-t I members, who own over 1,200,u:h) head of cattle and 50,00 horses, representing $50,000.000. A farmer who has for three years practiced sowing the largest and plumpest kernels of wheat says he knows of a certainty that his crop improves. If tte fruit ladens the trees too heavily thin it out aud the tree will not break down nor be much exhausted, and the balance of the fruit will be much larger and finer. An egg broken In the feed once or twice a day will tone up a horse's system and make his hair more glossy. But special foods are to be used only for emergencies. A Nebraska farmer, who has been experimenting With blue grass, concludes that all Northern Nebraska will prove to be one of .the finest tame-grass countries in the world. It will not be much trouble to pour minure water around a few tomato plants each day, and thus make tbem mature much more rapidly and the fruit ripen several days sooner. I.aree numbers of Texas corn-fed cattle have been kept back by the railroad strike,' but they have been improved in condition, and it is not thought the feeders will lose by the delay. Permanent pasture lands are the main anchor of agriculture, and the farmers of this country will find this ' out after awhile, is they already have in England, and will commence seeding their land with permanent grasses. Never try to stimulate man or bird or beast. A hen filled with "egg producer," or a cow given more food than she can digest, will go like man kept on whisky. There will be brilliant, feverish work for a time, and then a grand collapse. Dr.Sturtevant. at the New ' York exrjeii mental station, found that mulching the soil lightly between the rows 01 peas- witu straw retarded the attack of mildew very perceptibly. It is the late sown crop that sutlers. Tobacco is a rick and quick acting fertill izer. One of ita advantages isthat it is re pulsive to most insects, as it has a flavor and odor which even the malodorous squash bug can not stomach. It Is also said to re a good mulch to protect current bushes from the worm which destroys their leaves. Ponds are not good for young du tks.

Then you may let them enjoy themselves as much in the water as they desire. Dr. J. A. Sewell of the Colorado University, has been making experiments, testing the blood of hogs affected with hog cholera that be finds contains microbes, which are not present in the blood of healthy hogs. He is cultivating the microbe for purposes of inoculation and expects important results. The hogs should have undisputed sway in the orchard during the fruit season, and they will eat up all the fallen and wormy apples, and hunt out many of the grubs, etc., which are injurious to the trees. In this way they destroy many of tbe enemies of sound fruit and sound trees, and in other ways greatly benefit the orchard. Many families have an abundant supply of all kinds of early vegetables, but neglect to make any provisions for late ones, and in the late fall their tables are devoid of the choicest and most heathful food. It is very easy to have an abudant supply of vegetables on till frost, and each farmer should try to have plenty of them this fall. Tbe efforts to preserve eggs in purity are never more than partially successful. The limed egg, though not spoiled, is never absolutely fresh. It has lost some moisture and has absorbed some air, which has a tendency to decompose its particles. Althoueh lime and other preparations exclude "air, they do not eipel what the egg had prey'ously absorbed. It is astonishing that a farmer can look upon a grade rolt one or two years, see its size, Dote its advantages, consider its capabilities, and then continue to breed 'Tats.'' when the only question involved is that of the slight additional cost between the service of a tl oroughbred draft and a "scrub" stallion. It is now Incoming easy to obtain the services of a good sire "in almost any neighborhood in the Northwest, and this fact will certainly be utilized to the extent of a universal improvement in !' horse as well as cattle. Farm, Stooir ,, -r . . e There is a lack of vigor : .. ., 1 with contagious diseases In this country that bodes no good to the stock-growing interest. That we have not suffered more has been due to accident or providence rather than to our carefulness The recent appearance of pleuro-pnemonia Pennsylvania is an instance in point. One-third of one herd of leu was reported sick before any complaint was made, and the contagion had spread in several herds in tlhe same neighborhood, near Lancaster. The Stte authorities are movicg. but with this late start it will be very diHicult to entirely suppress the disease. American Cultivator. If the bees are assisted with a small beginning of comb as a foundaion, it will creatly lessen their labor and afford the bee keeper an opportunity of attaching the com) to any particular portion of the hive. Th' 1: tterial for beginning the comb is simply wax pressed into proper shape, which often comes in sheets especially prepared fcr the purpose and the bee-keeper has but to cat or break off a trnoll piece and fasten it in place by heatirg the end with a mat:h or lighted candle. It may seem but a Tery small matter to begin a comb foundation, si far as the lessening of the labor of the bees is concerned, but although every portion of the labor saved is an advantage to the bee?, the placing of the foundation where mostly dedesired by the bee-keeper is of valuable assistance to him when he comes to the hive for honey later on after the busy season is over.

THE PRAYER CURE. Remarkable Statement of a Reformed Inebriate. f Aut usta Ga.) Chronicle. While this region round about is being seriously agitated on the temperance ques tion, and Sam Jones and Sam Sma'l are about to appear on the scene, it may not be inappropriate to briefly relate how one man became a total abstainer. He told me the story thus: "I was posessed by the demon drink and no persuasion of friends or re flections of my own had any effect in re forming me. One day I went to New lork bent on a tremendous carouse, and I had it. In four days I spent $350 for liquors of various kinds, and at the expiration of that period my besotment may be better imagined than described, buddenly, en the tilth day, while still laboring under madness caused by alcbohol, I experienced the strangest sensation of remorse, and a spirit was born in me to lead a better life. As if supernatuially inspired, I rose trembling and yet determined, from my bed, seized upon the cut-glass decanters and bottles containing the fiery fluid and smashed them. Amid that uncanny wreck, 1 raised my hands and eyes to heaven swearing that by God's grace, I would never touch another drop of any intoxicating fluid, though my life depended upon it. I grew so ill that a doctor called upon me and prescribed brandy. I would not take it. lie said 1 would die. I answered that at least my death should be a Lober one. After him, in a providential way, a Californian entered my chamber and, divining the situation, took instant steps to remedy it. Ue had me put in a Turkish bath, and then gave me to eat some dried herb of his region that filled me with extraordir.ary warmth and worked internally like electric shocks. I rapidly regained my health and right senses, and after testirg me severely, this mysterious friend threw in my way several considerable sums of money. I have not taken a drop of liquor from that hour, and though, at this moment, I am in pecuniary difficulties. I would not touch it if any one were to offer me all this property round about, which is valued at millions of dollars. Now, I learned afterward, that my relatives, having exhausted all known human means for my conversion, had had recourse to divine aid. Three of my family were Sisters of Mercy. Appeal was made to their prayers. They offered up for nee what is knowu in the Catholic church as a 'Novena,' that is, an act of devotion lasting nine days. It was on the ninth day, at the very moment tbe last petition was presented beseechingly to tbe Almighty by these holy women, that, hundreds of miles distant, in the very'midst of my revel, I was, by some supernal power, led to the destruction of my idols and permanent sobriety, whicb, witn heaven's help, will never be violated. When I see other men drinking or when a temptation is set before me, I behold the pale, angelic faces of three religious women, clad in the black and w hite habiliments of their order; with one hand on their rosaries and the other raised in gentle admonition. Some people call this superstition, but what a saving superstition it was for me!" CURIOUS, USEFUL, AND SCIKftTlFIC. A large meteor, whose fall was accompanied by a whin ing sound that is said to have been heard for a great distance, fell the other night in the southern part of Oregon. Chinamen in Quincy, CaL, built a big bonfire one night recently during a heavy snowstorm ai d then caught twenty wild geese that Swarmed about the bright blaze. A dense Jog only a few yards in breadth, settled down upon one of the wharves of New" Haven at noon one day lately, and remained in that isolated position for two hours or more, while the sun shone brilliantly elsewhere in the vicinity. "Tbe rilgrim's Progress" has been published in Canton in' Chinese characters, and illustrated by Chinese artists. All the characters are Chinese. The scene ia laid in China, and Apolyon is as fine a specimen of a Chinese dragon as one could wish to see. According to the calculations made by a scientific writer lately, it requires a prodigious amount of vegetable matter to form a layer of coal, the estimate being that it would really take a million years to form a coal bed 100 feet thick. The United States has an area of between 300,000 and . 400,000 square milda af coal fields, 100,000,000 tons of

coal being mined from these fielJs in one year, or enough to run a ring around the earth at the equator five and ode-half feet wide and five and one-half feet thick; the quantity being sufficient to supply the whole world for a period of 1,500 to 20,000 years. When the minnow bursts forth from the egg it is so small that its eyes are the principal feature. They stand out like two black dots, and look like two heads to one body. The body is almost transparent,- and in appearance is not unlike a thread of white jelly about an eighth of an inch long. A remarkable custom exists among the Boumanians living in the westerly Carpathians. Kvery year, at the feast of the Apostles Peter and Taul, a market is held on the crest of the Oaina, from 5,000 to J,0u0 feet above tbe level of the sea, and here all the marriageable girls of the entire district assemble with their parents in order to be viewed and claimed. Sheriff Coons, of Sacramento, CaL, last winter was in the habit of putting his knee upon the edge of a table in nis office in order to reach the gas burner, but after doing so a number of times he found that the sharp edge of the table was hurting his lee, and afterward he stood upon a chair when lighting up. Recently the leg began to trouble him, growing worse daily, and the result is that amputation of the limb will be necessary to save his life. A hen owned by John Ilartlett, of Old Colony, Mass., has adopted an assured method of paying her board. Nearly every day she comes to the boue door making a peculiar noise, and, on being admitted, goes to tbe lounge and deposits an egg. Hiring thus jut the family in the actual potssiou of the "spot cash," she again finds the door, and, by a peculiar note, asks to be It out, going about her business apparently feeling that the had made adequate return for her keeping. Albert Williams of Savannah, N. Y., while ploughing last week, saw a big bird in a thicket near by. It wasapparently disabled, and could not flv. He ran up to it and was about to seize it when the bird fastened its leak in Mr. William's lec, cutting through the trousers and deep into the flesh. At the same time it grasped his foot and ankle with its talons. Do what he might the farmer couldn't free himself from the bird's clutch until he had dragged himself to a pile of rails and, with a club, beaten it to death. The bird was an eagle, and measured seven feet nine inches from tip to tip of its wings. A correspondent in the Farmei's Il3view says that when riding over thousand of miles of Bussian railways four years ago he wa3 interested in the system of shrub and tree planting to arrest snow at all points where banks could form. The trees are panted twenty-five to thirty feet from the rails in five to seven lines, lines five feet apart and the plants a foot and a half apart in the rows. The three inner lines are planted with trees, and the outer ones with conifers, or shrubs. This system is said to protect very perfectly the roads during the gales on the steppes. The snow is whirled m heaps back of and among the trees and shrubs, and fails to reach the rails to a serious extent.

Iteminiftcences of Andy Johnson. Carp In Cleveland Leader. Arthur, the bright-eyed, smooth-faced colored man who acts aa Col. Lamont's messenger, has been in the white house since in 5. He is a rotund young man who seems to be always in good health and who has a complexion like oiled ebony and a head as round as a cannon ball. 1 chatted with him to-day about his presidential master. He said : 4 1 knew President Lincoln very well, and it was he who appointed me to a place in the whiie house. I was not here long before he wa 3 assassinated, and I did not know it till the day after it occurred. I came down to the White House and found the President dead. I liked President Johnson very much. He was very kind to his servents, and hept and fed eighteen employes about the white house more than he need have done. Kverything was free and open during his administration, and he was beyond doubt an honest man. I was his butler and I kept the keys of his sidebord. The people charged that he was drunk during the great part of his administration. This is not true. I never saw him drunk in my life, and if he had been so I think I would have known it. President Johnson used to give lunches on national holidays to the cabinet. He would have a lunch served in the cabinetroom and after the cabinet were through, ail of the employes of the white house would be called in. President Johnson had a very good table. He kept a good cook, and I doubt not that it cost him all ot his salary to keep up the white hous. He gave a great many diuners and on one of his birthdays he gave a' children's party. The east room was full of children, and they had a dance there. Tbey had a nice supper and the president came down among them." 'Who presided over the white house during President Johnson's administration?" "The lady of the white house was Mrs. Fatterson, a very fine lady. too. She bad domestic tastes ari l was proud of her housekeeping. The President kept his own cows then and made his own butter. Mrs. Patterson was very proud of her dairy, and she used to täte some of her guests down to see it. She often skimmed tbe milk herself, and ore of tbe treats of the white house in those days was a drink of iresh buttermilk from the white house dairy." "President Johnson was a brave man," continued Arthur, "lie was notafiaid of Congress. I remember one morning at the biebkfast table Colonel Moore, the nv'litary secretary who used to carry the messages to the senate, came in and said, 'M"r. FresiJent, I believe tbey will try o impeach yon.' President Johnson replied: 'They may try and bt , and if they do try they will find that tbey will have more trouble on their hands than ibev have bargained for.' They did try it, but did not succeed." A Philadelphia exchange has the following rare item: Father McNulty, of Paterson, N. J., is tbe right sort of a man. He tracked a lot of his parishioners up a back alley into a tavern on Sunday night, walked in planted h's broad back against the door, took out his pencil and paper, and noted the astonished parties 88 they jumped through the windows, tasted tbe unfinished drinks at the bar that he might swear to their quality, and walked out. Such a man is a whole law and order society in himself. A Brooklyn paper says that a woman in that city is keeping in a book a list of things she ought to purchase, but cannot affored to wear. She calls the book her ought-to-buy-ography. "For economy and comfort, every spring, we use Hood's Sarsaparilla, writes a Buffalo, N. Y., lady. One hundred doses, $1. The latest of the perennial attempts to solve a mystery of the north pole is Colonel Gilders. He proposes to go from New Ixmdon, the port that has already more than once sent out men who have gone further north than any others, and after getting to Disco, or some other collection of Danish Esquimaux huts on the Greenland coast, to fetapartyof Esquimaux to go with him. Ie will trust to them to get over the awful solitudes and barriers of that polar waste alive, and possibly he may be right.
