This lets in some light, and prevents the es cape of heat. A double floor, or a fire in the room over the cellar, will help to keep out the frost. A kerosene stove in the collar may be need in extreme cases. Ventilate on suitable days, and clean out decaying vegetables and fruits. Engage Help. Look about early In the season, and get your pick of hands in the market. Make a written bargain in detail, no matter if yon are well ac quainted. This will prevent misunder standing. The man agrees to remain a certain number of months; to perform certain chores Sunday or holidays; to start about suoh an honr in the morning, and close at suoh an hour in the even ing. If, in case of an emergency, he works longer, he may have certain priv ileges to compensate for it. In case he quits before his time is ont, he only re ceives a certain stipulated sum. Calves and Sheep." -Lard and kero sene are good to kaep lice from calves; sulphur mixed with salt is good to drive ticks from sheep. Calves, like all ani mals, should be kept growing from birth to maturity. Here is one place where the profit comes in. There is always a loss of time and feed, and more, too, by allowing young animals to " stand still " for six months or more of the vear. Sheep are well clothed, and need shelter from snow and rain, and perhaps from the very strongest winds, but cold agrees with them. Feed them well; give them piency ot water, in small flocks; keep them dry, and they may stay out in the cold and thrive. A close, dark pen is a poor place for sheep. Rural New Yorker. Wood, Tools, Ice. Cut a supply of wood, posts, rails, and logs for lumber, ready to be moved easily on the advent of sleighing. No thrifty farmer will leave these things to be done in the busier seasons. Get wagons and bug gies repaired and painted, as well as tool; and implements for summer nse. Make stone-boats, cut handspikes and stakes, and get ready everything which can be got ready. Suow may be scraped from the ice to keep it clear and allow it to freeze thick. If you have never tried it, build a cheap icehouse, and enjoy a cheap luxury next summer. The cakes should be cut of even size, and set on edge close together. There should be perfect drainage at the bottom, but no access of air. Around all, place a layer of eighteen inches of sawdust. Look Behind and Bkfore.

Small accounts should not run long. Trust not to memory. Arrange the books for the business of the year. Study over the plans consid erably in detail, and do rot wait till the ground is ready to plow before deciding what to do. Look over the past, and study the good hints and the failures whether all was done to the best advan tage; whether there was too little or too much help. This should lead to better filans for the future. Nothing can bring arger returns for the time than a few weeks spent in accordance with the above suggestions. Cows. Treat them generously and kindly, but do not keep them fat, unless they are to be turned off for beef. A cow is a machine, a laboratory for con verting raw materials into milk. If little be given, little will be reoeived. All animals should have exercise, espe cially those kept for breeding. Some of them are naturally lazy, but they will be the better for stirring about in the opeu air. It is cruel to keep animals tied up or shut up for days at a time. They need light, too. Direct sunshine exerts a powerful influence for good on animals, as well as on plants. Do not overlook a good supply of pure water two or three times a day, or good ventilation and proper cleaning of stables. When the ground i3 frozen and covered with snow, it may ba well enough, ou pleasant days, to scatter the fodder, and allow the stock plenty of room to pick it up; but when it is muddy no one but a sloven will fodder on the ground. Good racks should be made for tbe sake of conven ience and economy. Apple for 3IHcta Cows. A correspondent of the New England Farmer reports this instructive experi ence in feeding apples to milch cows: He had one which gave only a small quantity of milk, and with her he began, thinking there could be but small loss should the experiment fail. He com menced by giving two qmarts at a feed, and gradually increased to half a bushel. The oow began to increase her milk till she nearly or quite doubled in quantity. The milk and cream were tested at every stage, and found to be equally as good as when grass alone constituted the feed. To make assurance doubly sure, he stopped feeding the apples, and immedi ately the cow fell off in her milk to her former yield. After a few days he be gan feeding again, and the former re suits were attained. It must be under stood that the apples were a mixture of varieties, the majority being sour, and windfalls at that. Being pleased with the result thus far, he began to feed them to bis other cows, with good re sults, the gain in milk being about fifty per cent., and the quantity and quality of butter also increasing in somewhat like ratio. The grazing was rowen of the meadow. The only secret of success was commencing te feed in small quan tity and gradually increasing to the capacity of the cow's appetite. Now, should any of your readers try the ex periment by turning bis cows into the orchard and allowing them to eat at their will to begin, and should the oow be badly injured or killed thereby, do not throw the blame where it does not belong. startling a Drawing-Boom. On of the most eminent pianists in London, having suffered muoh from tbe irrepressible conversation of drawing room audiences, devised the other day a means of giving a little lesson to the town. He arranged with his violin, his violoncello and the rest, that the mnsio should come to a sudden stop in the midst of the loudest passage of the piece, at a given signal from him. It was done. The bawling and shouting voices were left, in the twinkling of an eye, high and , dry, as it were, upon a shore of silenoe.

"We always fry oars in lard V London World, DISASTERS DURING 1878. Aa Appalllaa ft er or si of Uti af Life Lama aad Sea. The record of the disasters of 1878 is an appalling one. On September 8, the iron screw collier Bywell Castle crashed into the slightly-built exonrsion steam er Princess Alioe, as both were rounding tbe bend ot tne Tuames at Tnpoook point, and sank her almost instantly. Exactly how many lives were lost will never be known. Seven hundred Is a low estimate, and as the majority were women and children out for a day's pleasuring, the collision is certainly the most distressing in marine history. The report of the official inquiry declared that tha collision was oansed by the bad and careless steering of the Princess Alioe. On March 25, the Enrydice capsized in a squall off Dannoce, isle of Wight, as she was within half an honr of her anchorage, and carried down, in sight of their homes, 800 lads who were being trained for the British navy. There were but two survivors ; bnt happily their testimony established that the dis aster was due solely to the danger of the sea. The German navy also suffered a se vere loss. On the last day of May, a squadron was engaged in naval ma neuvering in the English channel, when the Grosser Kurfnrst struck and sunk the Koenig Wilhelm as they were wear ing ship to avoid a merchantman. Two hnndred and ninety lives were lost, in cluding thirteen offloers. The verdiot attributed the collision to a " mistake " of the Koenig Wilhelm's helmsman. On the night of November 25, the iron bark Moel liilian ran down and eana the Pommerania, one of the finest steamers of the Hamburg-American line. About fifty-five lives were lost by this collision. Seventeen lives were lost by the col lision on October 81. off Tusoar light. between the National line steamship Helvetia and the British cutter Fanny; and about 150 by the Byzantin-Binaldo collision in the Dardanelles on the night of December 18. An explosion of fire-damp in the Aber corn colliery, South Wales, on Septenv ber 11. caused 251 deaths. On October 11, the audience of the Colosseum theater, in Liverpool, in their mad rush for escape from the building at a careless or malicious bnt entirely groundless alarm of fire, tram pled thirty-seven of their number to death. In this country there were bnt few marine disasters. On tbe 31st of Jan- nary, in the same southeast gale which cansed the loss of seven lives at Alan' hattan beach by sweeping several homes into Sheepshead bay, the Metrop olis. bound to Tara, went ashore on Carritnck beach, on the North Carolina coast, and about twenty miles north of the scene of the wreck of the ill-fated Huron. Ninety-one lives were lost. Murder or manslaughter, however, are the only words properly descriptive of tbe loss of fifteen lives by the explosion of tbe Adelphi's boilers on the 28th of September, near Gregory's point, in Long Island sound. On the inquest it was shown that the boiler needed patch ing within a month after its inspection, and that it exploded within a month after the repairs. The iron of the boiler was only one-half the reported thickness, and near the rupture it was actually only one-thirty-second of an inch thick. Twenty lives were lost by the colli sion on December 1, between the Missis sippi river steamers Cotton Valley and Charles Morgan, and thirty-six by the foundering on December 10, of the Emily B. Souder, on her trip from New York city to Kingston, Jamaica. A snockmg disaster, wnicn cannot be called an accident, was the collision on October 8, of an excursion train on the Old Colony railroad with a freight train which was being switched. Twenty-two persons were killed and 120 were wound ed. The inqnest found conductors of both trains and the engineer of one, guilty of negligence; and as one conduc tor testified that be was switching his train because he " supposed " the excur sion train had passed, and when he saw t approaching, sent out no signals be- c'ise he " supposed " tbe engineer had done so, he was held and indicted, bnt has not yet been punished for man slaughter. The accident is estimated to o t the railroad company 8325,000. Another engineer employed by the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis company, whose watch was slow, but who "supposed " he had time to go on, killed fifteen persons by dashing his train into another on AugUBt 7. The list of railroad acoidents may be closed by the breaking nnder an ex cursion train of the bridge over the Farmington river, on the line of the Connecticut Western railroad. This ocourred on January 16, and it is not vet certain whether the bridge broke be cause it was not originally strong enough or because it had been suffered to decay, or whether the accident was not caused by train-wreckers. Scott's Poetry in Western Prose. The train had withdrawn from the castle, but Marmion lingered behind to bid adieu to Douglass. "Though something might be explained," he said, " of cold respect to a gentleman sent hither by your king's behest, while in Tantallion s towers 1 stayed, part me in friendship and noble earl, reoeive my hand." But Douglass was ont of sorts, and taking another reef in the band of his ulster, said : "My dear sir, my manors, halls, towers, et cetera and so forth, are open at my sovereign's will to whoever he de sires to send hither, no matter how un worthy such a one may be to stand in the presenoe of the gentleman who now has the floor," and he looked Marmion straight in the eye. " My castles are my king's alone, ' he continued, "from cupola to the basement kitchen, but the hand of Douglass is his own and never shall in friendship clasp the hand of such as Marmion carries so jauntily in the breast of his cutaway." So saying he thrust his hands in his pantaloons pockets and turned on bis heel. Marmion was the maddest man in town. Hi J swarthy cheek burned until it was red as a lobster and shook his very frame for ire. " And this to me 1" he yelled ; " an' 'twere not for thy gray hairs suoh hand as Marmion had not spared to cleave the Douglass head as it strnck by lightning, and I'm not so sure bnt I'll do it anyhow I And I tell thee haughty peer, he who does Eng land'! message . bring, although the meanest politician in the country, may well, proud Angus, be tby .mate I And furthermore, my gentle jjazelle, even in thy pitch- of pridt here in thy hold, thy vassals and lick spittles near take your hand on) of your hip pocket or I'll smash yon I tell thee thou are defied I And if thou saidst I am not peer to any lord in Soot land, Lowland or Highland, rich or poor, Lord Angos, you rs a liar I and ha shook his fist nnder the Douglass nose, It was now Don glass' turn to get mad, and he improved tbe excellent oppor tunity offeied.

Lord Marmion turned well was his need and dashed the rowels in his mule, that shot like an arrow through the archway, and kicked the top of the portcullis as it descended behind him. The mulo along the drawbridge clattered just as it trem bles on the rise. In tbe words of an unknown poet: Not swifter does the swallow skim. Along tha amoetb lake's level brim.

Bishop Simpson on Stimulants. In his third Yale lecture Bishop S.mpson advises the yonng men who are entering the ministry to avoid all stimulants, and in connection with this advioe gives a bit of information which is not generally known: "I wonld scarcely suppose that any one who feels himself called to the ministry will conn tenanoe their nse; yet kind friends will sometimes suggest tnat yon are weaK, your nerves are tremulous, yon have been out in tbe cold, you need a stimu lant, and they will urge tbe taking of a little wine or brandy before preaching. These fiiends will tell you that the most distinguisbel ministers are in the habit of nsing them; and I regret to say that in many churches both wine and brandy are thero kept in the vestry for the use of the minister, both before and after preaching." He further says: " I have known some yonng ministers who have used a few drops of paregono or opium to give them strength for the pulpit. I am glad to say that I have known but few such cases; bnt I must add that these were led in the end to either phjs ical or moral ruiu." And in passing, he fires a shot at the clerical cigsr: " I suppose there is a sort of enjoyment conneoted with it, for I have seen men sit for au hour smoking, with their feet upon a table, professing to be studying I have no doubt they had visions of greatness and glory; but prolonged ob servation shows that their lives usually ended, with tneir cigar, in smoke. A Locomotive iu a Quicksand. The Leavenworth (Kan.) Timet says Mention was made in the Time during the summer of a singular accident which oconrred on the Kansas Paciflo road at the bridge crossing Kiowa creek, forty- two miles east of .Denver, in wnion an engine attached to a freight train went through the bridge into the bed of the creek, instantly disappearing in the quicksand and baffling all attempts to recover it. For the past six months the search for the missing locomotive has been kept np, resultiug in success two or three days ago. wnen it was louna Dunea forty feet deep in the quicksand. The sand had been removed for a great num ber of yards around the scene of tbe dis appearance of the engine, a bydranlio ram being used, the locomotive being found at last after a search of six months.

Marramtnta'a' Public Administrator ? vlcte ml the Crlra.-ns w and W hv ll waa Committed. In the trial of Troy Dye. ex-trablic administrator of Sacramento county, Cal., for the murder of A. M. Tnllis. a wealthy fruit grower of Grand island, near Sacramento, the jury, after twenty minutes' deliberation, brought in the verdiot. Guilty of murder in the first degree." The crime was committed on the night oi August 1st, of last year. Its object was to enable Dye, in his capacity as public aumimstrator, to get bold of xul lis' estate, the letter's heirs living at a distance. At the time of his death Tul lis was the largest fruit grower on the Sioramento river, having one large orchard and large interests in two others. His gains in the fruit season were at the rr te of a thousand dollars a day, and he had accumulated from $80, 000 to 8100.000 before his body was found cold and stiff in his orchard on tho morning of August 2d. When Dye, as puDiio administrator, applied for let ters of administration, he rated the estate at $50,000, his object being to se cure all over that amount. The killing of Tnllis on any other ground being ob jectless, the theory was formed, soon after the murder, that either his rela tives had committed the crime to secure the estate as his heirs, or that Dye had done the deed to take pot session as publio administrator. As Tnllis' rela tives a brother and a nephew were from 800 to 8,000 miles from the scene, suspicion fastened upon Dye, who was discovered to be in the neighborhood of Tull s' ranch the night of the murder. He was arrested on August 12th. As he nau up to tbat time borne an irrenroach' able reputation his arrest was a shock to the community. Two days later he made a confession of the crime in the presence of the district attorney and others. The murder was not committed by him, but "T uiarK. nis partner In a saloon yen' ture, and by Anderson, a former em Eloyee in Dye's butcher shop, Dye aving other occupations besides tbat of public administrator. Anderson, being arrested, also made a oonfession. Dye said mat be first thought of killing Tul lis in the spring, having heard of tbe wealth the fruit grower was acquir ing. At that, time Anderson offer ed to kill any one Dye wonld name for $100, and he confessed to theoommittalof two murders already, Atter jjve made no his mind to mur der Tnllis, he enlisted Clark as well as Anderson, and the first endeavor was to poison Tunis. Clark visited the fruit grower on pretense of business, and left bebmd as a porting present a bottle. ostensibly containing a choice cordial, but which really contained poison. For some reason thii scheme miscarried, and then it was determined to waylay Tnllis and shoot him. A boat was built at Dye's house in Sacramento, in which Anderson and Ularfc rowed to Tullis fruit ranch, which was on an island. while Dye waitad for them orr the main bans. Tnis vas toward evening on August first. After they bad landed, Clark concealed himself while Anderson went to look for Tullis, who presently o ime near wnere uiara was jying. An derson asked Tullis for work, but was told tbat Chinamen were preferred. He managed to get behind Tullis, so that he could strike mm witn. a sandbag. Al though shaken by the blow. Tnllis olosed w'th Anderson, while tbe dog tore tbe assassin s trouBers and barked. Clark, coming to the rescue, fired at Tnllis with a pistol, bnt apparently mssed. Buying to Anderson. "Stand back. Clark fired again, hitting Tnllis in the back. Putting the pistol to the back of Tullis' head, he fired again. Tullis fell on his face, Anderson had already ran to the boat, and Clark then followed. The two rowed back in the boat, which they then broke up and threw into the river. Anderson also tore up and de stroyed his trousers, thinking there was blood on them. Tbey then met Dye who carried them back to Sacramento, Nerves and Noises.
