-~ VOLCANIC PHENOMENA. 1 Jurullo—Vesuvius—Hecla—The Skapta ! Jokul—Etna. - MANY fresh fissures have appeared on Mount Etna, and the whole uﬁwent region is in a state of dismay. The latest Teports from Catania are to the ‘effect that the flood of lava is very extensive. It is said to be streaming toward the River Alcantara and to have devastated the Village of Mio. That -the general apprehension is well found--7 ed is only too true. It is possible that -the eruption may cease at any moment; but on the other hand it may last for months and even years. The duration and extent of volcanic phenomena are absolutely incalculsble. All that exﬁerience teaches is that when a volcano as been dormant for a long-time its cruption, when it comes at last, is likely to be a fierce one. But it may be short as well as fierce, like the memorable outbreak of Vesuvius thatchanged the face of the Cam}{)agn& and swallowed up Stabiz, Herculaneum and Pompeii; or it may be protracted like the eruption of Jurullo, in the Mexican Province of Valladolid or Mechuacan, that lasted from June, 1750, until February, 1760. Humboldt describes this famous eruption of Jurullo as having been continuous between the dates we hdve named. But its progress was attended by some ebullitions of extraordinary fury, On the night of the 28th29th of September, 1750, a scene was | ;&'esented by ,the voleano which for ~ terrific magnificence has perhaps not " been surpassed in the history of the world., It was witnessed from the neighboring mountain of Aguazanco,. and - Humboldt got his account from those who were on the spot. He says that the flames spoutefl up over an area } nearly a léague square. The waters of ‘ two rivers, the San Pedro and the Cuitimba, plunged into gaping rents - that were torn through the earth and ‘ actually disappeared. Thousands of small volcanoes burst forth over a wide tract of country and vomited smoke and Sulphurous flames. Six large cones*also sprang up rivaling the orig- , inal crater and yielded torrents of fire,

lava and basalt. Whirlwinds packed with colored ashes flew over hundreds of square miles. Theearth rocked, and the air was filled with overwhelming thunders. The simple Indians, who, not unnaturally, thought the end of the world was at hand, fled in mad terror and confusion. It was long before the’ survivors ventured back into the region once filled with -smiling and prolific “¢ haciendas,”” but now a black and desolated waste. Those who returned looked for the once familiar rivers that had watered and enriched the surrounding plain; they had vanished, and were scen no more. But wandering natives profess to this day to hear the ravished streams creeping, like Ilyssus in ¢“lingering labyrinths,” far below the surfage!of the engulfing earth. . The craters of Vesuvius at B. C. 73 had slept for time immemorial. The gladiators who fled from the Roman preetor and hid in the fissures of the volcano had no fear of Nature, whatever they might have had of man. When they burst from their lair to release their leader, Spartacus, and to overthrow for a space the,cruel Roman power;, the outburst of the lava whose track they followed had become a mere tradition. Even on that memorable day, before the kalends of September, when the two " Plinys, the elder who ‘rperished and the younger who recorded, first-saw the cloud over Vesuvius, they deemed it a curiosity 0n1y... Probably when the worthy Admiral got the letter, further on in the day, praying for help, from Rectine, the wife of Cwesius Bassius, whose ‘house was at the foot of Vesuvius, he thought her womanish feurs uncalled for. How were people to believe in a catastrophe of a nature that had scarcely even been heard of? But the sad tragedy of Stabiz followed, when Pliny in nobly striving to save others lost himself. ~ Eruptions like that of Vesuyius, coming at such intervals thatthe broadened space is scarcely bridged by authentic history, are naturally the most appalling. A volcano like Hecla, on the other hand, which, between 1004 and 1766 unburthened itself twenty-three times, does not at any rate take the world by surprise. The terrors of. Hecla, indeed, sink -into insignificance when compared with those of its awful neghbor, the Skapta Jokul. Iceland has been very minutely and accurately surveyed and mapped by the Danish Government, but the region about the

Skapta Jokul constitutes an exception. There is a tract of four hundred square miles not delineated in the Government ordnance maps, and in this terrific region it is said no foot of man. has ever intruded. Lord Dufferin went very near the forbidden territory, as his <¢Letters from Hi%h La.tituges'.’- S 0 ‘graphically show. Thespace aboutthe great volcano is for the-most part, however, as void of man and his works as the poles themselves. It is an area heaped to the clouds with masses of ice and everlasting ‘snows. * The most tremendous eruptioh of which there is trustworthy - record occurred in 1788. In May of that year there was seen throughout that part of Iceland a mysterious light blueish fog. “Early in June there were slight, and, as it séemed, apprehensive tremblings of the earthsOn the Bth of June immense :pillars of sable smoke gathered over the lofty country of the north, and bearing ominously down against the wind, wrapped the whole district of Sida'in pitchy darkness. . On the 10th of June a whirlwind of ashes swept over the entire, ‘country. Innumerable firespouts, like so many demon beacons, now flashed - and leaped through the frozen hollows of -the mountains. The River Skapta, one of the largest in Lceland, having first ,¥¢ured down to the plain a volume of fetid waters xinixed with sand, like %_Mexica.n rivers, suddenly - 'disappefired. jFol_'zéeighﬁ hours afterward, a'prodigious mass of lava, issuing from sogpel,w.r;which no ‘one has ever been able to penetrate, came slidin% down thebed of the dried~up river. The channel, according to Lord Dufferin--to whom we are in-

. 'debted for most of these details—was ~ of great depth and breadth; but the fearful - deluge’ brimmef up to its banks, overflowed them and then droye in molten masses over the face of the . whole country. Two oceans of lava were the product of this eruption.

The one that flowed down the Skapta was tifty miles long by fifteen wide. The otﬁer, which rolled down the Hverfisfliot, was forty miles by seven. Where it is imprisoned by the immensely high banks of the Skapta the lava is five or six hundred feet thick; but on the plain, after it emerged, the thickness of the mass never excecdsone hundred feet. The eruption continued until AuFust, ¢ when the Plutonic drama concluded with an earthquake.’’

The effects of this amazing phenomenon extended ovér a whole year, and over an immense distance. During all this time clouds surchal"iged with cinders hung over Iceland. They overwhelmed to a great depth tens of thousands of a.cré% ‘of fertile lands. The Faroe Islands, the Orkpeys and the Shetlands were covered ' with volcanic dust. The substance even extended to the atmosphere of England and of Holland. A number variously estimated, but doubtless: including many thousands of human beings and one hundred and fifty theusand cattle, perished in Iceland. Apart from such calamities, this eruption must have effected some gigantic physical changes, concerning which we have seen no_speculations. It would appear, first, that the propelling force within the crater of the Skapta Jokul must have been exerted at a vast depth below the external point of egress; next, that caverns’ of enormous extent must have been left by the masses which were expelled; and, finally®that as the bulk of lava, bowlders and other ejecta lowed a long distance toward the south, and represented many cubic miles of solid matter when cool, a change must have been wrought in the position toward the previous center of gravity of a considerable portion of the mass of the earth. Whether this movement was of suflicient relative importance to produce anything more than a local influence we must leave to scientists to determine. In any case, the subject presents an interesting field of inquiry. - This stupendous eruption devastated territory at a long distance, but Mount Etna is.much nearer to man and his works than the Skapta Jokul, and there isjgpparently danger that Catania and even Messina may be gravely injured. To!protect the former city, a wall was formerly built quite sixty feet high; and yet the lava has been known to surmount this wall and to pour a cascade of liquid fire into the streets of the city. Since the first recorded eruption of Etna named by Diodorus Siculus there have been seventy considerable outbreaks of the mountain. That of 1669 was preceded by an earthquake and attended by the same phenomena that is reported now, namely, the opening of many fresh chasms or craters at different points of the promontory. The eruptioh overwhelmed fourteen towns and villages, some of them at a great distance from the volcano. It is a remarkable fact that. eruptions have sometimes occurred at or about the same time from volcanoes far distant from each other, giving rise to an opinion held by some physicists that a subterranean connection existed between the mountains. The fact that Vesuvius is reported to be in lively and increasing eruption at the present moment gives color to this theory, and lends additional interest to the volcanic situation.—N. Y. Evening Post. |

- A Husband’s, Explanation. It is a fact that has been noticed and commented upon timeout of mind, that many husbands neglect those little attentions and marks of affection of which they were so lavish during courtship. -Of course, there must be a reason for a custom which, though reprehensible in the abstract, has the sanction of all but universal practice, and it becomes the duty of the philosopher to inquire into and expound it. Perhaps it is best illustrated by an anecdote which was told Causeur by a friend, whose wife, by the way, manifested her deep displeasure in very.decided terms while he was relating it. | It seems that on Columbus avenue there dwell a wedded pair who were made one last fall. -No knight of old was more devoted to his ‘fair ladye’’ than was the husband during the honeymoon and the moon that followed it. But, ere the third meon had waned, the younf wife noted—or thought she noted, no doubt it wasfancy—a change. As time passed on it became still more apparent. Her husband was lovinF, of course, but somehow there was a lack of the old ardor, there was a falling off in the old demonstrativeness." This troubled her, and woman-like, she was quick to conclude that his love for ‘her had cooled. One evening, after thinking the matter over all day, she broke out with *You don’t love me any more.” ¢ What makes you think so?”’ he asked, in a business-like way, scarcely lifting his eyes from the book which he was reading. ¢ Because,” she sobbed, ‘‘you never pet me any more, and you are not half so attentive as you used to be.” And then she broke down into a regular cry. The husband saw that something must be done: Laying aside his book, and regretfully relinquishing his cigar—a man does hate to be disturbed when once settled for the evening—he went to his weepiﬁg wife and led her to the window. ‘‘My dear, he said,”” ‘‘do you see that horse-car comin% up the avenue?’ . «I do,”” shesobbed. ‘‘And do you see that man running to catch it?"’ © «Yes, dear, what of it?’’ ¢And do you see that he is straining every nerve; that he is shouting to the conductor at the top of his voice, and doinf his best to make the car stop?”’ “[ do,” said the wife, whose curiosity was aroused, “‘but what on earth has that to do—"" ¢ One moment, my dear. Look again. Do you observe that he has caught the car, and that he is no longer running, but is probably quietly seated inside, taking a rest? He has got through shoutinﬁg and running, because he has caught the car. Now, my dear”’ —at this.point he kissed away. her tears—‘it is just so with me. I have caught the car.’ And with that the self-satisfied mons%led his wife back to her seat on the s6fa, and silently resumed his easy chair, cigar and book.—*¢Causeur,” in Brooklyn Transcript. | :

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. CoAL ashes do well as a fertilizer for tomatoes. Make your gronnd half soil and half coal ashes, and the result will be surprising. ' ; - HickoßrY-NUT CAKE.—One pound of sugar, one-half pound of butter, five eggs, onemcu;} milk, one pound of flour, one tga,qpfon ul of soda, two of cream tartar, mixed well in the flour; one pound of raisins, one pound of nuts. CLING to the farm, make much of it, put yourself into it, bestow your heart and your brain upon it, so that it shall savor of you a.ntf radiate of your virtue after your day’s work is done.— Ezxchange. EXTERMINATE totally the first crop of potato bugs, and there will be no second crop. So far as we have seen there are but very few alive this spring, not one for twenty-five last spring.—lowa State Register. ts Have all the good bits of vegetables and meats collected after dinner and minced before they are set away, that they may be in readiness to make a little savory mince' meat for supper or breakfast. Take the skins off potatoes before they are cold. THE EvEs.—lt is very trying and injurious for most eyes to read, write or sew with the light coming in front of one. If the light comes in over the shoulders it will greatly preserve the strength of the eyes, beside adding greatly to comfort.—Christian Union. A CORRESPONDENT of .the Scientific Farmer has been trying experiments with fowls, in order to find a breed that will eat potato-beetles, and he now asserts that the light Brahmas will ¢‘“go for the beetles and larveae without flinching,’’ and that a dozen of these fowls will keep a good-sized po-tato-patch clear of the pests. STALE - bread moistened with sweet milk s’ recommended very highly as good feed for young chickens the first few days. When a week old they may be fed on cracked grain scalded. When old enough to swallow grain give them plenty of it. , THE man who farms his brains to their full extent year after year, and does not helieve in occasional fallowings, will find at last that brains, like land, will run out.—Albany Argus. And the man who farms his land year after - year without bringing brain power to his work will find that his land will soon run out.— Prazirie Farmer.

A vicious cow becomes so only by education, or, as is sometimes said, by being spoiled. The case is much worse than that of a heifer, and when the cow is a{)pa.rently cured of a bad habit, it-is liable, upon slight provocation, to return. The principle involved in the treatment of all brutes is to employ kindness, together with the means of proper restraint. In the case of the young or the vicious cow, place her in stanchions or fasten her securely. Pass a girth-—either a strap or a rope—around the hody, just' in front of the bag, letting it pass in the rear of the right hip and in frontof the left. Draw the girth somewhat tightly—more or, less so, to correspond with the severity of the case. Take pail and stool and. sit down to the milking. The case must be a very obstinate one which will give any lasting trouble. The philosephy of the treatment is that the strap so restrains the action of the muscles of the hind legs that the animal cannot kick to harm, or get foot into the pail, while the restraint is steady and sure, and the punishment not severe. A woman or boy can manage an ordinary case. Heifers broken in this way, we think, become more thoroughly gentle and. submissive. -Of course, an even temper and kind treatment must be strictly observed.—dmerican Dairyman. -

Care of Rose Bushes, CoNsTANT vigilance and attention seems to be demanded in every deparfment of agriculture, horticulture and floriculture. The rose has its enemies, destructive and ravenous. The directions laid down in books and agricultural papers amount to nought without constant watchfulness. The green ﬂ{ attacks the young growth, and will first be found at the extremities of the branches. It feeds on the juices of the ﬁlant, and will soon starve and .sicken the whole bush. Remedy, tobacco smoke. This is easily applied, by covering the plant with a box or barrel, or even a quilt, and putting under a pan of burning tobacco; the smoke should remain on an hour or more. If the insects are very bad it may take frequent applications, but it is a sure cure. A strong tea of tobacco will answer the same purpose, if more convenient io apply. The infected part may be dipped in, or the whole plant thoroughly sprinkied as often” as may be ngffessary. For house plants, when acco is not desirable, a hot water bath is almost equally effective, The water should be as hot as the hand can bear, ‘and the whole top of the -plant dipped two or thrae times in succession, but should not remain'more ‘than two seconds at a time. :

The rose slug is amuch worse enemy than the aphis, butit, too, can easily be kept in check by proper attention. The ,body of the slug is green and soft, almost transparent, %ike jelly; they eat the surface of the leaf, leaving the veins and the skeleton untouched, and they multiply so rapidly that they will destroy all the foliage of the largest bushes in a few hours. One plan is to dust the plant thickly with. powdered or air-slaked lime, plaster of Paris, road dust, or ashes, and repeat vigorously as often as may be required. Or, the plants may be thoroughly sprinkled and washed with a strong suds, made of soft soap and salt. A recent writer says the following remedy is thoroughly effective, cheap and quickly applied: Dissolve one ta.ble?oo'ntul of powdered white hellebore in two gallons of boiling water; when. cool, apply to the roses with a whisk broom, bending the tops of the plants over, and dashing on the waler in a fine spray, so as to reach the under side oF the leaves as well the upper. The hellebore can be had of an{ druégist. and one application is usually suflicient for a season. o 2 The rose bug is well known to cultivators as one of their most desperate enemies. TLe only eure is hantf:'pick-

ing. This is not a serious matter, but can eagily be done if taken in time; the bugs being large, may be quickly brushed or picked into a vessel containing water, after which they should be burned. The best time to gather them is early in the morning. As in most other matters, constant vigilance is the price of success.—llowa State Reguster. . T

Kitchen Kindergartens. b THE Kindergarten scheme has been enlarged and improved upon in Boston by the establishment of a Kitchen Kindergarten, some of the details of which are given by the Boston Adveriiser, and will be of interest here. The latest notion of the Hub is to have the children meet once a week; devoting two hours to each lesson. Each child is provided with a tablecloth, napkins and everything, in fact, that belongs to a wellordered table, and is ta.ught how, to lay it in a proper manner. Thev are then taught how to remove the dishes, wash ‘them and put them away, in the neatest and quickest manner. After the work is done, the teacher talks to them about behavior, gives them practice in calisthenic exercises, and allows them some music. The second lesson is devoted to bed-making; thethird to washing and ironing; the fourth to sweeping, waiting on table, tending door, laying fires, and other details of household work, and the last, embracing a long course of lessons, tocookery. Two of these schools are now in operation, and it is said have already developed surprising results, though they are still in an experimental stage. 1f these schools prove to be successful, and we see no reason ‘why they should not, they ought to be very popular and to be generously patronized. = The pressing want of suffering masculine humanity is skilled feminine labor in the household. The vital deficiency in existing systems of female education is their omission of the practical. As a rule, young girls are taughtthe branches of study which they will never have occasion to utilize. Almost every girl is taught to play the piano pretty badly, and not one girl in a hundred ever touches a piano after she is married. Almost every young woman, and some of the old ones who ought to know better, are being taught to daub dinner-plates with impossible foliage and distorted storks, who don’t know how to cook the dinner that is to be put on them. They are crammed with Greek, and Latin, and French,. and Italian, when they cannot construct a graceful sentence in English. They dabble in astronomy, mental and moral philosophy, and skim about the edges of the abstruse sciences, all recollections of which are left in the seminaries where they -graduate. Thus it happens that thousands of girls, whose only mission in life will be the superintendence of a household, and whose destiny perhaps at some period of their lives will condemn them to actively participate in its labor and drudgery, actually enter upon those duties as ignorant of them as the young men who are destined to keep them company and pay their bills. They know how to paint sugar bowls, embroider sofa piliows, play the Monastery Bells, and dance the German; but the qualifications cf this sort are abour as useful to them in -their new sphere as the ability to play shortstop would Be to a professor of theology~ They find themselves suddenly transferred to a position where they have everything to learn and too old to learn it, and usually the burden is so overwhelming that they give it up in despair and let everything go by the run. In such households the servants sooner or later do the real managing, and the waste and extravagance and slipshod style of running the house soon lead to unpleasant bickering between husband and wife, and the sweet bells of matrimony before lon% are all jangled and out of tune. Al this might have been prevented if the lady of the house had ‘known just what is being taught /o these children in Boston, namely; to spread a table, wash and iron, sweep, lay fires, cook, ete.’ T

Probably the first comment’ many will make upon the kitchen kindergarten is that parents ought to teach their children these things. Undoubtedly they ought, but undoubtedly, also, they don’t, and the principal reason why they don’t is because many of them don’t know how to do these things themselves, and at the present rate of retrogression it will not be long before the science of housekeeping will be one of the lost arts. Even now a good housekeeper is such a rara avis that she makes a reputation and becomes a curiosity in the neiﬁhborhood where she chances to live. , Her modus operandi is studied. Her recipes are sought for. The order, cleanliness, brightness and attractiveness of her house are admired, and her pickles and preserves have a reputation for blocks around, while her husband is the envy of every pater familias in his section. Again, it will be said that it is not expected .of young ladies that they will engage in household work. Servants will do it. But in the ups and downs of life there may come a time when it will be a necessity. Even should it not be necessary, the woman who knows how these things are done will know when a servant does them’ riﬁhtly, and can instruct a servant, and will have a more attractive and satisfactory home, justas the merchant who commenced business as a porter or a store-boy is a better merchunt than one who has had no practical experience. With such schools as these which have been started in Boston there is no good reason why girls should not receive a ‘good practical education, and why the ‘old-fashioned profession of housekeep‘ing should not be revived in something }lik‘e‘ its pristine excellence.—Chicago Tribune. Crae :

~—As an illustration of the cosmopolitan character of San Francisco, an English traveler lately visiting there writes: ‘I had my boots blacked by an African, my chin shaved by a European, and my bed made by an Asiatic; a Frenchman cooked my dinner, an En;ﬂishman showed me to my seat, an Irishman changed my plate, a Chinaman washed my table napkin and a German handed me my bill.”

. Common Sense in Driving. | MosT men over-drive. They attempt too much, and in so doing distract or hamper the horse. Now and then you find a horse witk such a vicious gait that his speed is got from him by the most artificial processes, but such horses are fortunately rare, and hence the style of management required cannot become general. The true way is to let the horse drive himself—the driver doing little but directing him, and giving him that confidence which a horse alone gets in himself when he feels that a guide and a friend is back of him. | b ;

The most vicious and inéxcusable style of driving is that which so many drivers adopt, viz., wrapping the lines around either hand, and pulling the horse backward with all their might and main, so that the horse, in point of fact, pulls the weight back of him with his mouth, and not with his breast and shoulders. This they do under the impression that such a dead pull is needed to ‘“steady’ the horse. This method of driving we regard as radically and superlatively wrong. It would tax the ingenuity of a hundred fools to invent a worse one. ‘The fact is, with rare exceptions, there should never be any pull put upon the horse at all. A steady pressure is allowable, probably advisable, but anything beyond this has no justification in nature or reason; for Nature suggests the utmost possible freedom of action. of head, body and limbs, in order that the animal may attain the highest rate of speed; and Reason certainly forbids the supposition that by the bits, and not the breast-collar, the horse is to draw the weight attached to it. In speeding our horses we very seldom grasp the lines with both hands when the road is straight and. free from obstructions. The lines are rarely steadily taut, but held in easy pliancy, and by this motion communicate courage and confidence to him. We find that by this method our horses break less and go much faster than wlen driven by men who put the old-fashioned steady pull upon them.—Golden Rule.

An Important Event. ‘ The recent completion of the Missouri Extension of the Chicago & Alton Railroad from Mexico, Mo., to Kansas City, Mo., is one of considerable importance, and makes this the only continuous line under one'ownership and management from Chicago to Kansas City. ~ The Extension is commonly known as ‘¢ the Connecting Link,”’ directly connectin%, asit does, the latter place with both hica{fo and St. Louis. It was completed in léss than a year from the time of commencement, includin%‘ a magnificent all-steel bridge over .the Missouri River at Glasgow. The entire trains run through without change from Chiecago to Kansas City, and are supplied with all mddern conveniences, notable among which are the Horton Reclining-Chair Cars, for which no extra charge is made. The road is thoroughly equipped, and doubtless will receive a very large share of the passenger traffic between the three cities it so uniquely connects.
