A Colony of Insane People.

Pnor.OniMDr«*n, tnhia work on “ Mental Pathology and Therapeutics'* says: ** A coloiry or the insane has been formed In the remarkable Belgian village of Gheel, in which, for several ‘hundred years past, i tafiarira have lived together with the inhabitants, .and even realded fin their femiliea. In former' timM people frequently resorted thither to supplicate the aid of Dympbue, the natron *u>t of the insane, although people are ieldom In the habit now of tousurang- her oracle. Oat of a populationof about 0,000, it has from 900 to 1,000 inhabitants who are insane. The fanatics enjoy an amount of freedom which never pould. be permitted them 1% * the leal or agricultural employments of the sane. The treatment in the main is very mild, and restraint 'ia 1 never made use of without previously oanmdting a physician.

But the experiment at Gheel has proved that the greater number of the insane 40-bot require the confinement of an afiylum ; that many of Bern can safely be trusted with more liberty lhan those itaafitoUone allow* and t&t association in ikmlfy life'is very beneficial to mahy Insane patients.

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC.

Strnmoß Cxioniy for any purposes, but especially for substances that are exIjoeed to moisture, may be made by simply dissolving common gum shellac in alcohol, and applying it like glue. 7. Ttak JKsriT N«w YorJter tells a New ,Y/»k correspondent that it will pay him to pay tenddilaisV ton for plaster and •’* w To Coox CHBBBE.—Cut a quarter of a pound of cheese into small slices and boil it a minute in a teacupful of water; beat one egg and one tablranoonful of flour together, adding gradually one pint of milk; pour it Into the boiling cheese and stir, Mid after aAw minutes it will be fit to Mrve for a supper relish. Tn Philadelphia WtMv Prwt strongly commends charring as the best preservative of wood in the groundfence posts, etc. It says the best way to do tbe charring is to have a good fire, put in the posts singly, and take them out when dona. A man La Nevada County, CaL, placed about eighty fence posts in one pile and set fire to the ends; they burned ao fiercely that nearly all of them were consumed. A Usbful Cbmbnt. The Railwty Timtt says that a useful cement for closing up cracks m stove-plates, stove-doors, etc., is prepared by mixing finely pulverized iron, such as can be secured at the druggists, with liquid water-glass, to a thick paste, and then coating the cracks with it. The hotter the fire then becomes, the more does the cement melt and combine with its metal ingredients, and the more completely will the crack become dosed. • Bxcxllbbt PuotiKg.—Three tablespoonfuls of tapioca soaked in cold water till it, is swelled enough, then add one quart'of milk, and put in a double kettle, or in a pitcher, and set into boiling water, and when the tapioca is sufficiently tender, add the yolks of three eggs, a small teacup of eager, a littlp -ealLi stir this into theboiling milk, nrriimfi with vanilla, then pour half in a dish, add the whites of the eggs beaten to' a froth, then pour the remainder on the top. You can make it in the morning, as it is to be eaten cold, and ia very nice.— Thb fferald cf Health tells us that sleeping after dinner is a bad practice, and that ten minutes before dinnereis-worth more than an hour after. It rests and refreshes and prepares Up natem for vigorous digestion. If sleep is taken after dinner it sbould be in the sitting posture, as the fioriaontal position is unfavorable to healthfill digestion. Let those who need rest and sleep during the day take it before dinner instead of after, and they will soon find that they will fool better, and that their digestion will be improved thereby. ,

Weak Eyes bt Houses.—Make up a wash of alum and water which reduce to blood heat, and-with a quill, blow the liquid 'into the eye. After trying the above preparation three times, take a piece of alum, as large as the end of one’s finger, and burning ft in the fire reduce it to powder, and blow it stoutly by the same, process into the eve. We have tried burnt alum on a* 1 number of hones that have had sore eyes, and always found it a valuable remedy. It will remove all scum and restore clearness to the eyes.—American Stock Journal. A Multiplying Seedlings.--A oorrespdrideßtof the Cteteda AMisr proposes to multiply seedlings after the following manner: “ Take cuttings from suchseed--lings as may be considered worth testing, and graft or bud them upon the previous .years wood, or a healthy grown tree. In thia way an immense number of cions oould be put on one tree, and nearly every orchard has one or more suitable trees which do but little in the way of bearing fruit. lam of the opinion that the wood at a young plant grafted Into a tree of a mature growth, would bear as soon as a section from the old tree.” “ Vacua Jack” in the Soutkom Otdtiuotor, gives Ute following recipe tor potato puddipg: Take good sound potatoes, wash'them dean, scrape off the outside skin thin, grate then; to five heaping tablelspoonfuls add one quart of boiling milk, - end five eggs, beat up with five spoonfuls of sugar, a lump of butter about the she of an egg, a tea spoon of salt; flavor with nutmeg or other spice or airices, to suit the taste; stir all well together. Perhaps, if you have it, a little Ban de Bose, wine or brandy, would im- ; pee verbs taste; and some would perhaps Hke ft better with tees, some with more sugar. Now for the cooking: Don’t put and hake until surely done. -»« »s »*»fca» . • ’* ' ♦ I

But a Mr. Hancock went off wufr tire experiments, and nt last he estaMftimdMhW» feet that the sweet pOMto ootiMMW grown with advantage (ft the CbfrferCHtoWte ‘angof a quality rivalling the crops of Virginia or the Carolinas. lie sold plgntfiqaifo ex tenaively, and the increasing demand induoed others, both on the Island and: in Monmouth and other counties to New JerS. y, to embark ih the Muxatenterprise. Now thousands of bustteli are raised each season for the Metropolitan market, and the business is extending its proportions. The method of cultiffois simple. The crop is raised from slips ‘pulled from the potato, the potato having been first placed to a hot bed one month before. The manner of growing them in a lot-bed is as follows: Make the hot-bed the same as y<?u would to raise tomatoes or egg plants, with the exception that one inch of dirt is a sufficient covering for the manure. Over this place the sweet potatoes (small ones are preferable) so they cover just one half the space; or. In other words, one •barrel snould be placed to a bed six feet Wide by seventeen and one half feet long , (five ■ashes, six by three and one half feet); then cover the potatoes one inch deep. In about two weeks the sprouts wlll begin to ■how through the ground, then cover again with one iaeh of soil till th«y show themselves again, when the covering may be repeated the same aa before, making three inches of soil, which .will be sufficient. As to watering, great care should be used, and the ground should not become thoroughly wet, as in most cases it would rot the potatoes. Neither shoeld it become so dry that they will not sprout.' Here practice only oan tell the true amount of water to be used. The temperature is of the utmost importance, as many of the old growers will tell you, and the heat should never be allowed to get higher than 00 s . One hour of hot sun will entirely rot and rtfin them. Inoue instance, I remember, by the carelessness of help, I had eight barrels cooked to a peeling condition, and had to replace them by other potatoes, at a cost of eight doUare per barrel. The soU is an ereatial part for the hot-bed, and should be of a sandy nature. Heavier soil, bafies and retards the sprouting. After tbe sprouts are sufficiently large, remove the sashes, and they will be sufficiently hardened in tfiree days to bear transplanting in the field. After the removal, the sash may be replaced and a second crop of plants produced. . After the potato sprouts, plenty of water should be given to make a rapid growth. For the last few years some of the larger growers are giving up hotbeds to the cultivation of such plants, and - are raising them in houses heated by hot water. This practice ia preferable, because more certain and much less expensive than buying manure, and also on account of the facilities for controlling the heat, which cannot be obtained in a hotbed. The ground in which the plants are to be set should be plowed very shallow (not more than four inches) as soon as ths soil is in suitable condition—the earlier the better. .Then leave it till time of planting (which is from 10th of May to 15th of J one), then strike the furrows with a-eorn plow, making furrows three and a half feet apart; atter which t>ladq the'msnurii in the furrows,-spreading it along to evteff thickness; the manure may be the same as that used for corn on Irish potatoes; a compost of horse-manure with barnyard and hog-manure I find best. There take a two-hone plow and cover the fttrrow from each ride, throwing the soil directly over the manure as high as practicable. Then smooth the ridge l|he plants sixteen inches apart, either way*, just before or just after a shower, or on aj overcast day. The attention required i§ the same as that of oofomdh pbmoefi, Except when the vines begin to run they must be kept from rooting-In the tows/as this takes away -the substance fresn -the bilL 1’ z '< 1 ■ • - . < The above is adapted only to loamy soil; those who have a. sandy soil must not give the same treatment. I- have found that it pays wail to put sand in the hills where the ground is a little heavy.— Hearth and Homa,. , * :x .

Compost Heaps.

It is often recommended that when manure is thrown jpto ‘h<frpCln it should be covered With aTßyelrwurfth to prevent the escape of the ammonia. The experiments of Dr, Voeleker, at- thejtoyal Agricultural College in, England, have established the fact that the evaporation of ammonia from laitee heaps of manure, goer on but slightly,; for the reason that, during the decomposition of the manure, certain orgwnffi acids are formed at the Mine time tlfe Ammonia is evolved, and then immediately unite with the ammonia, forming noH-volktile compounds. There is an active escape of ammonia from the interior of large heaps, where the heat is too great for the chemical changes above referred to; but,aajft approaches the exterior, parts of the heap, where the beat is very much leas, ihetammonia is completely taken up by the organic acids and retained. There will be but a trifling escape of ammonia while there is sufficient moisture to retain it, for water absorbs and retains many hundred times its bulk of ammonia gas at ordinary temperatures. These non-volatile compounds, from being highly soluble in water, are liable to be washed away fry every rain storm, giving the well-known brown color to the drainings of manure heaps.— Ameriean JLgriculturiot.

Laming Horses.

The hone is one of the most powerful, ambitious and sensible of domestic animals, andyet, in acertainsense, is for from being a hardy one. In this respect the horse is not equal to the rough and tumble usage which the mule or even the ox can bear without exhibiting marked signs of the severe discipline to which they have been subjected. In reviewing the many horses daily thronging the streets of the larger towns and cities, the number of defective ones can scarcely.fail of being remarked. Some are ajjing in the fore limbs, others in the hind ones, and not a few in both. Thia is not necessarily the result of age, defective blood, nor of special hard work, though in some instances it may be so, but much oftener is the consequence of careless handling or positive cruelty on the part of those to whom they am entrusted. As has been already Intimated, the horse, in a certain sense, is a delicate animal, and if pounced upon in a passion while encumbered with harness, and possibly with a load too heavy for easy movement, the chances are that efforts toescape punishment will result in such an over-tension at the muscles as to produce permanent lameness. Kvery one conversant-with the rough and tumble work of the farm the lumber the docks and the like, will have encountered many difficul ties in which teams and teamsters hen

Prnssing's Vinegar.

We would call the attention, of our readers to the advertisement of Pressing's Vinegar. Being free from vitriol and other poisonous acids with which, the cheap vinegar, especially that frpm the East, is adulterated, it is justly celebrated for its purity and healthfulnesa The good housewife knows its strength, and the epicure its flavor; the chemist is Aware that it is pdre, and the general public acknowledge It to be the cheapest and best article in the market. Pickle makers prefer it to all other brands, as it never moulds though it certainly does sour on them. At whatever fair Mr. Pressing has exhibited his vinegar he has invariably received the first premium for it Having been established for the past twenty years he has succeeded in erecting the largest works of the kind in the United States, yet We are told he can scarcely supply the demand, as those who use his vinegar will have no other. — Davenport Democrat. —Read the advertisement of the Mason & Hamlin Organ Company in another column, and send for the descriptive circulars which they offer to send without charge to any one. As the demand far the celebrated organs has steadily increased, coming from almost every country on the globe, the company have added new machinery and facilities for manufacture which enable them to produce the best instruments they have ever made, at reduced cost, ft is their fixed policy to sell always at the smallest remunerative profit; and they have accordingly recently reduced their prices, and ate said to be now selling some styles of organs at considerably lees than the actual cost of manufacture of similar instruments,'to makers not having such facilities. Another peculiarity in the mode of doing business adopted by this company is, they print in their circulars their lowest prices, which are invariable, and alike to all.
