Cooking Food for Cattle. Some discussion was had on this sub ject iu the American farmers' club. Dr. Jarvis thought that cooking food for cat tle was entirely wrong. It was a depart ure from nature, and the effect, though not perceptiblo at once, would manifest itself hereafter. Mr. Dodge thought it a very intricate question; it was one on winch he could not make up his mind, nr, it would require years of carefully conducted experiments to determine. Dr. Hulbck said wo must consider the fact that nearly all our domestic animals had been taken out of their natural stato. and it was therefore a question whether some modification of their food was not required. Col. Battersby said the lleh put on animals by artificially prepared food was good for nothing mnre blubber, in fact. Hogs wntracted the measles by being fod on hot food, and cows, ns had been fully deron Rtrated, lost their teeth and their tails by being fed on swill. Another cruelty practiced under on artificial treatment of nuinvils was to cramp them in stalls where they could not lio down and stretch their leers out. Dr. Hallock thought the arguments proved too much. If carried out to their logical conclu' siou3 practically, we should not build houses or barns. Almost every man felt better for a warm meal on a cold day. Half frozen food could not be di gested with facility. A half frozen apple would cause serious inconvenience to an invalid or a delicate person. Mr. Shep ard, of Long Island, said that all our habits are more or less artificial. If we Ail uotbinp- because nature had not ilouo anything, we must at once give up Imost every comfort of life. Ho Cliolcrn. A correspondent gives his opinions on the prevention and euro of the hog cholera, which disease every now aud tlicn ravages his section of the country. H far as his observation aud experience go, those farmers who feed well all the time, give their hogs plenty of pure wa t ir rind salt and ashes regularly, with occasional noses 01 copperas, Keep una trouble out of their dioves almost en tirely. The cure he recommends, when ouoo the hogs have the cholera, is a tublespoouful of gunpowder mixed in a littlo milk for a full grown animal, with a smaller dose for a pig. This dose saved for him a large and valuable sow that refused all food and was given up as lost. After taking the gnnpowder she begnu to grow better, and in a few hours was ready for her feed. A neighbor had the same or similar experience with a couple cf hogs. This writer thinks that farmers who turn their herds out are liable to let them run too long in one lot. They should not be allowed to re main after the surface soil has been all rooted over, for the desirable properties are exhausted or befouled with drop pings. The pigs try to root deeper, but the filthy mass falls ts the bottom. Soon their blood is out of order, and they don't look or act well. Ulcers form and they run into the dreaded cholera. This, the writer thinks, would have been Ei-evented had the owner only put the jgs on fresh pasturings. To Remove Corns. If the corn has attained a large size, removal by cutting or ligature will be necessary. If it hangs by a small neck, the latter method is preferable. It is done by tying a silk thread around the corn, and, ou its removal next day, an other still tighter, and so on until com pletely removed. When the base is broad, a cautious dissection of the corn from the surrounding parts by means of a sharp knife or razor is necessary. This is done by paring gently till the whole is removed. In all coses of cut ting corns, the feet ought to be previ ously washed, as in case of a wound iu the foot great danger may result from want of cleanliness in this respect. Mortification has been the result in some cases of this negleot. For the eradication of warts, the proper applica tion of caustio potassa (stick) is highly recommended. Swindling the Immigrants. In the olden time the poor immigrant arriving in the United States had a hard time oi it. A reformed prize fighter in his reminiscences gives us some idea of the way in which the poor peopla were swindled. He says: Wo became so noted as fighters after awhile that my brother and me were hired in the immigrant business, and re ceived a hundred dollars a week apiece just for being fighters just to fight if there was any fighting to be done. My brother Orvillo and John Morrissoy were both hired by one office at the same time for that purpose, we used to go down on board a ship and stay there and see that noDody drove our men 0:1 the vessel or took their passengers from them. We had in our office over one hundred men who wen paid from 830 to $100 a week each, just for that sort of business, Naturally a good many people would think how could the men iu the immi grant business make that much money that thoy could afford to pay so much ? They couldn't ii any square, legitimate way, but they made it fry robbing the immigrants. If they paid twenty cents a mil for transportation, they'd charge the poor immigrants $3, and everything else tho same way, and the strangers in a strauge land in the hands of those sharks had no recourse or relief but just to give up all they had. An office iu New York would have a branch at Albany and an other in Buffalo fighters hired by rob bers to further the game of extortion at eacn place, well, we 11 say a lot of pas sengers would arrive from Now York at Albany, wanting to get west by the canal. They would be shipped by our office here to the Albany agent. He'd tell tnem transportation was so scarco, no boats in, and he couldn't send them off for a few day?, and he'd delay them there, while the immigrant boarding House Keepers, their own countrymen Germans, for we only boarded German ships they would just eat them up alive witli their extortionate charges, un til tue poor immigrants would become fairly desperate and would go to the agent and declare they must get away at any price. Then he'd Bay he'd go out and look around and see if he could get boat, and maybe, most likely, the basin was full of boats belonging to the very omce he was working for. He d go up town and smoke a cigar aud take a drink or two, and come back and say lie could get a boat, but tho charge would be awfully high, because- the transportation was so scarce, and if they coul.l raise some big sum he d get the boat for them. Well, they d bo just horror stricken with tho fix they were in and glad to get out and away at any price, and they'd club together and raise the money among themselves 6omehow, aud away they d go to ijutlalo, to be me there by another baud of organized harpies and fleeced again in the same way. After that, they didn't generally have enough left to make it worth while to follow them up any further. That the way the immigrant business wa managed, and it's the sort of swindling that got so many of the men engaged in it into State prison. A Strange Coble. Mr. Gordon Gumming, in his book, narrates the following legend of the whirlpool of Corrievrecken : The legend of these tumultuous waters tells that the word Bhroacan (Corrie-Bhreacan), which some have translated as " foam ing stream," was really the name of a brave young uaniRii prince, wno lovea daughter of the lord of the isles, and paired to woo and win her. Her father did not favor his suit, yet, not willing to offend the king of Lochlin, he an swered oraftily that the prince should in deed have his daughter, provided ho would prove his courage and skill as a seaman, by anchoring bis galley for three days and three nights in the dread whirlpool. The voung Drinoe. nothing dauutod. returned to Lochlin to consult with his wise men as to the best means of safety. They bade him take throe cables 0110 of hemp, one of wool, and one of woman's hair. The hempen oablo and the woolen one were easy to find, but as to the third, every hair of which must come from the head of a maiden 01 Mathematical Faculty of Crow. A farmer in Maine, who had a large oornfleld in which the grain was just sprouting above the soil, was greatly an noyed by the depredations of crows, which used to oongregate in great num bers in a clump of trees near the bonn aiiry wan, and after voouerousiy talking the mattor over for a while, swoop down among the spreading rows. This was some years ago, before farmers and others had learned that the crow more than pays his board by destroying the insects which are more expensive pen sioners unon the agriculturist than orows; and the farmer vowed vengeance upon the oornpullers, end laid in wait for them often and lor j without success, In the center of the oornfleld was a small board shanty, and tho farmer noticed that whenever he was in this building, although he was quite concealed from the crows, they would never come down to be shot. As soon as he left the field, however, they would come down by hundreds. They could evidently count one. The idea occurred to him to test their fur- spotless fame, it demanded such sacri- thor skill in mathematics. The next day Knowing When We Are Well Off. You are well off when yon are in a healthy neighborhood, with enough to eat and drink, a comfortable, well ven tilated apartment to sleep in, and yon are paying all your expenses and laying np something even slowly for a rainy day, and, in addition to all this, ac quiring knowledge and strengthening your character. Young men whose situ ation combines all the preceding advan tages should be very cautious about ex changing such a certainty unless it be for another certainty. Happiness does not depend upon great wealth so much as it does upon independence and intel lectual and moral culture. Very Wicked Boys. Miss Clara Morris, iu a letter to friend in Washington, gives this lively reminiscence of two well known actors They were boys then; one tall, blonde and lazy, tho other short, dark, and ac tive. It was Sunday night; every one had gone to the Quaker meeting house a few doors above. They were alone without cards, or checkers, or books. but satan came to the rescue. A certain proposal was drawled by the long chap, and eagerly accepted by the short one, They then put on their hats and coats, armed themselves with a broom, a p.iil of water and a dipper, and went forth into the still, bitter cold of the night. and worked diligently. They swept broad path over the sloping sidewalk quite free from snow; over this they poured a dipper of water, then waited In a few minutes it had frozen; then an other dipper of water, and another wait, until the path was glassliko in its icy smoothness. A whisk of the broom sent a light covering of snow over it; the work was done, and the godless laborers, gather ing up their tools, scroughed themselves down ou the doorstep and conversed pleasantly. Presently the doors of tb meeting house opened, and two lines of Friends one made up of males, the other of females came out. These lines, coming down the steps separately, met and mingled in a crowd on the pavement for a few moments, then broke into twos and threes, and came gravely down the sidewalk. Suddenly the still ness of the night was broken by a whack ! whack ! and two snorts that were as one. A female Friend flew lo the rescue whack ! The whole congre gation, filled with wonder, caoio am bling down to the scene of disaster whack I whack I whack ! groans and snorts; "thees," and "thous" filled the air, and, with cheeks stained with tears of laughter, they sat on the step and " took it in," those sons of Belial, since so well known to the world as Joseph Jefferson and John Ellsler. English Angling Matches. An anecdote is told of a fishing match which took place in Surrey, on a river rendered somewhat difficult to fish in by reason of the rising and falling of the tide, the peculiar objection being that during ebb the receding waves mutt be followed ud through deeD mud. One competitor was bewailing his hopeless chance of winning the teapot which was offered as a prize, his only take being a diminutive eel weighiug a littlo over three ounces. Presently some specula tors, on a tour of visits to the competi tors, arrived, and inquired after the na ture of his sport. " Oh, I am complete ly out of it this small eel being all I havo taken." "There we differ from you," encouragingly replied the visitors; "for this and another eel of about the same size are all we have seen taken to day." The hopes raised were, however, dashed to the ground, for the other eel weighed a bare eighth of an ounce more and took the prize. In the late Shef field contest four pounds and fifteen ounces won the prize of forty guineas. The smallness of the take is, perhaps, to be explained by the fact of the competi tors forming a line on the bank to the distance of three and a half miles, the fish being rendered powerless to feed by perplexity. Fancy a fish coming sud denly upon an array of food hanging in mid-water as far as the eye can reach, looking to a human eye like an endles street 01 butchers shops, fancy ansa ooming upon euch a scene. Here a bunch of gentles attracts its attention; but before it has made up its mind a lively brandling wriggles itself into no tice. Then a choice piece of graves tempts the palate, only to be supplanted by a wasp grub, until the bewildered creature attempts to fly the scene, but in vain. Turn where it will food still meets its view; for miles nothing but food, food, food. flee as few damsels would care to make. Howover, tho prince was beloved, and the fame of his beauty and of his brave deeds iu love and war had reached the bower of many a Danish maid. So tho daughters of the laud cut oil their long, fair locks, and a cable was woveu there of, which Bhould resist the mightiest tempest that ever raged in that seething cauldron. Then the prince returned to the father of his love, and announced his readiness to do his will. He anchor ed iu tho whirlpool. Tho first day the hempen cable broke. The second clay the woolen one parted. The third day came, and the gift of the maidens of Lochlin still held its ground. The young prince was full of gladness, for his triumph seemed nigh at hand, lint, alas I for that law which makes tho streugth of the mightiest cable equal only to its weakest link 1 There was one fair tress binding him to the anchor of his hope which had been shorn from the head of oue whose fame was no longer without blemish. So the resist less might of unspotted purity was not there to bind the raging waters, and the last rope parted, and the ship was suck ed down in the mad. whirling vortex, down, down, down, to the unfathomable depths of ocean. But the body of the prince was brought to lard by his faith ful dog, and dragged to a cave that bears bis namo, where a little cairn still marks the spot where Bhreacan was buried The dog returned to the water, doubt less seeking some other friend, and he perished in a lesser whirlpool between the isle of Scarba and Ln'nga, and that sound is still known as the Grag Dog's olap. The First Great Tipple. Thero was a tradition a hundred years ago among Indian tribes, that an old chief said had been handed down from generation to generation, in which it was stated that when the Indians first saw tho ship which brought over Hen drick Hudson and his crew, which seem ed a huge white thing moving up, they thought it was some monstrous fish, but finally concluded it to be the canoe of the great Manitou visiting his children. Bunners were immediately sent to the neighboring tribes, who flocked to the place of rendezvous. Sacrifices were he took his son to the shanty, and after a time sent him home, thinking that after the crows had seeu one person leave tho field, thny would suppose tho danger past, and come down. But they wisely kept nloof, and not until after ho hod himself started for home, did they venture to angut in tue corn The next day ho took two persons with him with tne same result; first one poison left the field, then another, the crows casing their approval, but re maining in thoir safe position, and not nutil the third person had been seen to depart from the field would the cunning creatures trust themselves within gun shot of the little building. The next day half a dozen persons entered it. Presently one of them went back across the field. The crows mentioned the fnct among themselves, but kept their distance, among the trees. Another person went away, with the same result, Uirectly a third emerged fi on) the build ing and disappei.ed. The -mhappy crows, having reaohed the ev4 of their mathematical rope, came down in pla toons, to their deferrod breakfast, un aware of the three armed enemies still remaining in the building, who at once opened fire upon the poor birds, whose great misfortune was that they wero un able to count more than three. This experiment was tried repeatedly, with six, seven and eight persons; but the crows never failed to take the posi tion that thete could be no more than three, and when throe departed, they in variably descended to their doom prepared, and a grand dance ordered for his reception. Hudson, dressed in scar let and attended by a portion of his crew, came p shore, and the chiefs, grave and respectful, gathered iu a semicircle around him. Hudson, to show his friendly feelings, poured out a glass of brandy, and tasting it himself, handed it to the nearest chief. He gravely smelled of it, and handed it to tho next one, who did the same, and passed it on In this way it went the entire circle without being tasted. At last a young brave declared it was an insult to the great Manitou not to drink after he had shown them an example, and if no one one else would drink it, he would, let the consequences be what they might. So, bidding them all a solemn farewell, he drained the goblet at a draught. The chiefs watched him with anxiety, won deriug what the effect would be. The young brave very soon began to stagger, till at length, overcome by tho heavy dose, ho sank on the ground in a drunk en stupor. The chiefs looked on at first in still terror, and then a low, wild death-wail rose on the air. But after a while the apparently dead man began to rally, aud at length jumping on hia feet, capered round in the most excited, gro tesque manner, declaring he never felt so happy m his life, aud asked for more liquor. The other chiefs no longer hen tilted, and following his examine, the first great tipple on New York island took place, ending in a scene of beastly iutoxication. From that time on the name of tho island in the Delaware lan guage signified "the place of the big drunk. " Many people think it would be a good name for it now, or at least portions of it; so says J. T. Headley, the historian. . They Did Not Know. It is in the historio records of the vil lage of Sedgetown, in Lincolnshire, England, that the vicar always preached the same sermon, and tbey desired a change. It was of no use to remonstrate with him, for be invariably replied that when they had done all he had told them in that discourse, he would give them another. At last a deputation waited on the bishop, and laid the matter be fore him. They had heard the same sermon, they said, every morning for ten years, and were tired of it. His lord ship owned that a little variety might fairly be insisted upon after so long a season of monotony, and asked what was the subject of this ever-recurring ser mon. " Subject f" repeated the first parishioner, " let me see. It is about what is it about, Higgins?" " Well," said the second parishioner, "I don't miud exactly what it is about. " What was the text I" asked the bishop. None of them could tell him the text. " Why, then," said the bishop, "I hardly know how to frame my remonstrance. Hup pose you go and hear it once more?" Beyond the Wisdom of Man. She was a pretty girl, nicely dressed, and she sat diagonally in a rear oorner of the street cor, occupying about two seats. Another lady came in, and turn ing herself sideways sunk into a swan like dip across the three adjoining seats. The young lady in the corner looked at the other's back, and sniffed with her left nostril; looked at the languid con tempt of the attitude, and sniffed with her other nostril; then regarded the lady s costume, and finding it elegant, sniffed with both nostrils. Beginning to get mad. she rubbed her nose via lently, first with the seoond joint of her forefinger, and subsequently with her handkerchief, blowly their eyes met. One flashed undying hatred and scorn; the other irradiated lofty pity and dis dain. They had never met before, and now they met for only a moment What I had happened I we give it up.

I looked narrowly at my host, but his face was grave ps the front of a tomb. The guests all ronnd seemed flushed and cmbarasscd. Men were shaking hnucte with compliments ou their lips and curses in their hearts, Another purty approached our host : Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith!" ti.1 the whole room hiss ed with aspirates like a serpent's den. There is nothirg which angers the un fortunate like ridicule. Ia my native village there -vas an epileptic so doubled aud twisted by disease, that nearly all human lueness was lost. One day a travcliug mendicant, whose misfortunes wero not unlike his own, came wrig gling into town, aud, each supposing tho other mocked him, they rushed into a tiger-like embrace. In my friend's parlor Smith glared at Smith, each be lieving luniself tne victim of a practical joke, but suppressing his rage out of deference to tho occasion, aud vowing vengeance for the morrow. Still other arrivals, but my kinsman, no longer able to control his spirits, broke into a roar which tho silence of the lost of us made riug through tho halls like tho laugh of a maniac. When he hid niudo his apology aud iutrodnc: d tho cheer we drownod our vexation and entered grim ly into the joke. tftOCA A Itlnntb.

Oao of the lieavioHt gamblers at Mo naco, tays a writer, i a Paririian, a ro tired merchant of nearly seventy. He is reputed to be worth over 15,000,000f., and yet he is more anxions to win lOOf. than many men would be who were wholly without income. He comes every winter, i learn, and nsks His money upon a system of ms own construction. ile is constantly expecting immense (rains, though those who know him as sert that he is already behind the game more than 500, 000 f. He does not play for pastime or for excitement, as might oe supposed, but from pure love of greed. He it one of the first to enter the Casino the playing begins at noon and ends at midnight and ono of the last to depart. Uambling, with him, has become a passion, and he is not yet able, notwithstanding his long experi ence, to hide his feelings. You have but to look at bis face to tell whether he is lucky or unlucky. The loss or gain of a few hundred francs depresses or elates aim visibly. Wnen he went away one nighf, 5,000 francs winner, he seemed to have grown young again to be positively jubilant. 1 have no doubt that he endures anxieties and agonies every day which many men would not endure for a liberal proportion of his wealth. It is melancholy to think that an aged millionaire can be so given over to tho worship of Flutus. He is one of the mortals to whom the principal terror of death will be the necessity of leaving His riches behind, -tie is cultured, has fine taste, wido influence, and many friends; still he is n"tnii:g but a miser.
