The power whioh carnivorous ani mals have in their jaws is astonishing. Archibald T. Montgomery, an English traveler and scientist, haß noticed that the tiger usually seizes an Indian na tive by the shoulder, and with one jaw on one side and the other jaw on the opposite side, bites dear through the chest and back, penetrating the lungs. This kind of a wound is char acteristic of the attacks of many of the oat family. For the same reason, scarcely any bird recovers from a cat's bite. The teeth are almost instantly driven through the lung, under the wing. Th 9 leopard when seizing smaller aninals, such as dogs, crushes the head; when attacking men it aims at biting through the lungs. The teeth, even of the largest carnivora, are merely the "spreadhcads," but it seems as if for the moment the animal threw all its bodily enargyiuto the combination of muscular action whioh we call a "bite." In most cases the mere shock of impact as the animal hurls itself on its enemy is entirely demoralizing or inflicts physical in jury. A muzzled mastiff will hurl a man to the ground in the effort to fasten his teeth in his throat or shoul der. The snapping power of an alli gator's jaws is more or less intelligi ble. They!are long and furnished with a row of pointed teeth from end to end. But the jaws of a lion, leop ard, tiger, otter, dog, cat, ferret of baboon are short, and the long and pointed teeth are few. Yet each of their species has a biting power which, in proportion to its size, is al most incredible. Docking Horses. Docking horses took its rise in the dark days when bull and bear baiting were honored by a place in the category of sport, rightly now relegated by law to the catalogue of outrage. This custom of docking was once generally applied to English roadsters, hunters and harness horses. The only useful purpose it ever served was in the Peninsular war, when British dra goons could be most easily distin guished from French by their cock tails. It fell into disuse with the decline of road coaches, and we owe its unwelcome revival to their partial restoration. It is senseless, barbar ous and disfiguring; it iuflicts need less suffering upon brood mares and horsea turned out to grass, depriving them of their natural defense against flies, besides the severe pain and shock caused by the operation itself. It should be discouraged in every possible way by influential persons, by those who lead the fashion in such things, and agricultural societies should be moved to refuse prizes to exhibits which have undergone this/ mutilation.—Blackwood.

I Netting; aji Engine. \ | By Jamea Buckham. It was lonely enough at the little Pineville railroad station, set down as it was like a box-trap in the heart of the woods. "Pineville was a good name for it," thought Arthur Sever son, the young station master and telegraph operator. Great pinetrees towored all about,their thick tops and spreading branches casting a solemn shade all day long over the two or three small buildings that represented the "railroad centre" of this back wood settlement. Yet considerable traffic came to the railroad company at that out-of-the-way statiou. During the fishing and hunting seasons it was a favorite point of departure for city sportsmen comiug into the Maine woods. During the winter large quantities of hemlock bark, for tan ning purposes, were shipped from Pineville; and there were always piles of furs and pelts on the platform, awaiting the "next train out." Never theless, for the greater part of the day, Pineville was silent and deserted save for the young telegraph opera tor, Arthur Severson, who hadrecent ty been sent there from Portland. It was the loueliness of the place that distressed him most. His work was light, as there were only four trains, freight and passenger, each day; and, aside from the traiti-despafcher's mes sages, he had very few telegrams to haudle. But Arthur had been used to plenty of company, active employ ment, and wholesome excitement; aud the utter quiet and lack of compan ionship at Pineville made him feel blue aud homesick. He had not beeu at Pineville long, however, before au ovent occurred that gave him more ex citement in half an hour than lie had known in all his previous experience iu "railroading." It was a hot summer afternoon; and Arthur was sitting in his shirtsleeves on the statiou platform, about as lone some nnd depressed a boy as could bo found anywhere iuthe State of Maine, when suddiuly he was brought to his feet by the sharp, distinct call of tho train-despatchar over the wire. He sprang to his instrument in the little office, and promptly answered the I. Then came this startling mes sage: Willi olivine on lino between Haequotto nnd Pineville. Side-truck No. -10 if possible, before collision, ltepeat. D. J. Collihon, Dispatcher. Trembliug with excitement, Arthur repeated the despatcher's message,and added—he could scarcely tell why, for there was no distinct plan of action iu his mind —"Will try to stop wild sugiue." Then he sprang out on tho platform aud gazed up and down the long, straight stretch of track that cut the forests iu two like the blade of a knife. No. 40 was the dowu passenger traiu, and she was due at Pineville in 15 minutes; but as yet there was no sign of her approach, uot even the souud Df her powerful chime-whistle in the .listauce. Neither was there auy sign, iu the other direction, of the coming of the drended wild engine—that tor ror ol every railroad man's life. Tho woods were as still as death, save for creaking of a few locusts about the buildings and the "a-ronk" of a big bullfrog iu a ditch back of the sta tion. Yet, peaceful aud reassuring as the silence was, Arthur Severson knew ;hat, somewhere dowu the track be tween Piuevill and Bacquette—a dis tance of 15 miles —that engine was rushing toward him with the speed of ;he wiud. His first impulse was to run nnd throw over the switch at the lower »ud of the siding, and derail the wild augine, if possible. Then he remem bered his orders—to sidetrack the pas senger train, and let the wild eugino go by. There could be no excuse for bim if he disobeyed these instruc tions upon bis own responsibility,and thecollision should take placeafter all, as it might if the passenger traiu should fail to pass the upper end of the siding in time. "Obey orders first 1" thonght Arthur, as he ran at the top of his speed to the upper end of the siding, and threw the switch over for the passenger train. The side-track now belonged to No. 40, and was out of the problem as a factor in stopping the wild engine. Whatever the young telegraph opera tor might do to redeem his promise to the train-despatcher must be done without its aid. This he thoroughly realizrd, as he dashed back to the station. In circumstauces of extreme exi gency and peril the mind sometimes works as if inspired, suggestions com ing to it with lightning rapidity from eve y object that catches the attention of the senses. As young Severson 'rushed back to his post of duty, his his eyes fell upou n great heap of two inch rope, coil upon coil, piled on the station platform—a consignment just received by the Mose-t Valley Lumber company. Instantly a plan for stop ping the wild engine formed itself in Arthur's mind, if ho could only ac complish it iu time. He would string those coils of tough rope across the track, from tree to tree, making a web of network of them, one behind anothor, aud thus, perhaps, snare the flunking monster as a spider snare 3 aud binds a great green bottle-flv. Oh for jnst ton minutes of precious time! Conld bo Lope for thetn? Eager ly he sprang to the coils of rope, slash ing oil" their fastenings with his knife, till every separate coil was 100-e. Then he ran breathlessly down th« track, dragging the end of the top most ooil, as a fireman drags bis hose. When the two-hnndred-foot rope lay free behind him, he whipped the end in his haud about an.onster pine, tied it firmly with a halter-hitch, and then began weaving the rope from pine to pine across the truck, encircling each tree with a double loop, so that the strands of his web would not draw. Back and forth he toiled with feverish haste, hope springing higher in hi? heart with every new mesh added to his net. The first coil of rope was stretched and tied about the pines; and Arthui tottered with weariness and h- at, wa? dragging the second coil from the plat form, when he heard the distant thunder of the approaching wild en gine. Must his plan fail, after all: Would he bo too late in weaving hi? web of ropes? If he conld only stretch a few more strands across the track ' Even if the first should snap like striugs, they might check the loeomo tivo's momentum, so that the last strauds would hold it. Fiercely aud j determinedly the panting boy worked on. The mad clangor of the wild en gine drew nearer and nearer, till the wood about him rang with the souud. But not one glance did he spare from his tusk to see how close the moustoi' might be. Just as he had looped and knotted the last foot of rope, with a hissiug, roaring rush the wild engine plunged into the hempen net. Snap ! snap I snap ! like rapid pis tol-shots, weut the first strands cl rope, as they burst asunder bel'ore the mighty shoulders of the iron horse. Then the stubborn net work began tc tell ou the strength of its captive, huge and powerful though the latter was. The sixth tougu cable strained and creaked ere it broke, the seventh snapped, but not until it had almost thrown the iron horse fcack upon his haunches, and at the eighth the shin ing monster stopped, its driving-wheel? spinning madly round upou the rails, and the steam hissing shrilly from iis valves, as if in conscious spite. Even beforo the wild engine had come to a standstill, Arthur Severson sprang fur the step and clambered up ! into the cab. Then ho threw over the j great lever and Bootho 1 the throbbing monster, till it lay quietly p<nting in the midst of its tangled net of ropes. At that moment the passonger train came in sight far up the track. Iu u few momenta it drew iu upon the sid ing; an 1 truiu-mou and passengers came crowding around the engine, where the pale aud exhausted young telegraph opeiator sat, with his hand still on the lever. The story of the wonderful rescue of No. 10 was not long in reaching official cars; and in less than two weeks Arthur Severson found himself established in the train despatcher's office, tilling an import ant position and drawing a liberal salary. He was not at all inclined tc poso as a hero, howev-r, but would modestly reply, when complimented upon his remarkable feat at Pine ville— "Why, it was as easy as stringing mother's clothes-line 1" Christian Register. THE IMPORTATION OF MONKEYS. Organ-Grimier* I>« Not Carry Them llt r» Nowaday*. A man who had missed the monkeys formerly carried about by organ-grind ers in the city streets, and who ha 1 attributed their disappearance to the changed conditions of the organ grinding business, to the substitution of the big piauo-orgau on wheels,man aged by two persons, for the old-fash ioned smaller haud-orgau, that was carried about by the player, found, upou inquiry, that, whatever influence the changed conditions might have had, the carrying of moukeys by organ-grinders is now prohibited here by a city ordinance. There are, how ever, places in which the monkey still forms a valuable part of the organ grinder's outfit, aud where the nimble little animal cla 1 in an embroidered jacket, aud wearing a fancy hat, which it doffs for the pennies, still climbs fences and rainwater conductors, and hops up on porches quite in the old familiar way, in search of contribu tions While monkeys are not per mitted here, there are meu who buy monkeys and train them to sell to organ-grinders, whocau use them else where, nud a well-trained monkey sometimes brings as much as $lO. It had seemed, with fewer monkeys in sight, as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported, but the fact appears to be that, if anything, the importation is just now rather greater thau usual, due to the in creased demand from the show people, who are, alter all, the greatest pur chasers of monkeys iu this country. The organ-grinders uso a considera ble number; a few comparatively are sold for zoological < ollectious, aud in recent years a few have been sold for pets; but the largest buyers of mon keys are the traveling shows, of which there are, besides the great, modem, consolidated shows,mauv smaller o es, showing in smaller towns throughout the eouutry. Take them all together aud these shows use up a good many monkeys. The life of a monkey ou the road is usually but a single sea sou. The show renews its stock of moukeys every year.—New York Sun.

Tn Make a Cheap Sterilizer. Dr. McClanahan states that a cheap and efficient sterilizer can be made iu the following manner; Take an ordin ary one gallon tin bucket twelve in ches high, having a movable, closely fitting lid. Have a handle soldered to one side for convenience in bundling. Have a false, perforated bottom, to which aro attached three legs, each one inch long. This is to be slightly smaller iu circumference than the bucket, so that it will go inside aud rest upon the bottom of the bucket. In the lid a small opening is to be made for the escape of steam. This sterilizer can be made by auy tinsmith at a nominal cost. Popular Science. ITnnved Portion* of Manure. Value does not always depend ou bigness. It is this fact which farmers are learning that gives them more faith iu the concentrated mineral fer tilizers as compared with stable man ure. But iu both there is much bulk that goes to waste. It is a good miu eral fertilizer that has four or five per ceut. of available phosphate or seven to ten per cant. of potash. So when 200 pounds of mineral fertilizer are distributed per acre, it means that the benefit is all concentrated in ten to fifteeu pounds if we could distrioute it evenly in concentrated form. With stable manure thero is always much less proportion of mineral fertility, but this is offset by the available ni trogen which the stable manure gives off while it is decomposing. The stable manure has also another effect. It is bulky in proportion to its weight, and therefore makes the soil much lighter than it should be, because it separates the soil particles aud admits air. This imprisoned air warms the soil, which is an advantage in early spring for most crops. Hence it is that coarse manures are so generally drawn in winter and plowed under early in spring for hoed crops. It is then probably the best use to which the manure could be put. Idea* on I'lowlm;* To do good plowing one needs a good plow, and to know how to se lect a good plow one should thorongh ly understand the object of plowing. Too many thiuk it is simply to turn the soil over, upside down, and vet leave it as smooth as it was bel'ore, Others consider that plow the best which will move the largest amount of earth with the least possible exertion of man or beast. Both are erroneous ideas. Of course, in plowiug sod land it is de sirable that the sod should be left underneath and friable soil brought to the surface, says Massachusetts Ploughman. For this a wedge-shaped plough is necessa y, or wo lge-shaped so fur as it goes down in'o the earth, but when the plough begins to lift the ftiriow slice it should also impart to it a turning motion, a twist which will not lay it nearly upside down, but press against it in such a manner as to break up tho earth into minute tracks, which will let the air into it so that it will be partially pulverized before the harrow is pint into the field. To work with such a plow, lifting, turning and breaking up the furrow slice all at one opera'ion may add something to its draught and require more horse power, but it will save Aomethiug in the labor required at harrowing, or give great value to it by more thoroughly fitting the soil to admit the action of air nnd moisture aud heat to make available the ele ment of plant food in it, as well as to allow the plant rafc>ts to penetrate it more readily iu all directions. But for plowing old ground the plow which turns it over is not the best plow, neither is the one which will go over tho largest area iu a day. Our ideal plow for this work would be one which would take a narrow fur row slite, and instead of inverting it rather set it up ou edge, in which positiou it would crumble more, be cause more of the air and water and sunshine would go down into it be tween the furrows, which being of warm and dry earth on one side and the moist aud cooler soil from below upon the other side, would he pulver ized by chemical action inn short time, instead of baking iu the sun's ravs, as does the under soil when the aarth is turned over perfectly smooth. Tho action of the harrow then is to still more stir it up and lighten it, in stead of packing it solidly below tho ieptth to which tho hnrrow goes. T<at*e Good Hog*. If a person who knows anything at all about ho? feeding was given a chance between a hog that would gain twenty-three pounds in six weeks aud one that would gain ninety j omuls in the same time o i the same feed, ho would not be long i;i choosing. Dur- I ing the past ten months the Kansas experiment station has fed 190 hogs that were bought of the farmers iu the vicinity of Manhattan without regard to bieed or breeding, jitst .is they tvera thriving aud weighing in tho neighborhood of 100 or 12 > poinds, i This class of hogs is used because j these experiments are for the highest , benefit of the farmers, nnd by taking j the stock they raise we stay within ' their conditions. A. few conclusions I may lie dratv:: froru the following facts I takeu from observations of feeding eighty bend of hogs which were just finished. These hogs were nearer oi the same age aud size, and ra. ged from tbe long, big-boned bacon bog to the short, chunk, accord ing to the cure or carelessness of the farmer who raised them. First, as to poiut of gaiu: The com parisons are between hogs fed the same iu every respect. The best aud poorest tive out of twenty have the following showing: Best live, weight at beginning oi test 596 pounds, gain 410 pounds—7o per cent. Poorest five, weight at beginning of test 571) pounds, gain 235 pounds—4o per cent. This was for a peri"d of forty-twc days, and from observations made from week to week, this difference of gain from a little over oue pound to practically two pounds a day was largely due to the bleeding. A short small-boned chunk will make good gains for a few weeks aud then s;op. It will be fat aud ready for market, while a well bred, rangy hog will fat ten aud continue tu grow and make gains for a much longer period. Then as to the demand of the marke': Tbe three-rib-shoulder is now oue of the most profitable cuts that i-i made for export trade. Ho is from which these cuts a' e made must be large aud mus cular, long and rangy. The short, small-boned ciiuuk will not answer the purpose. The bacon hog is also of the latter description and brings the best price ou the markets. Well-bred, rangy hogs make thi most profitable gains, are the most ready sale aud bring the best price on the market of !seo* «t Swarming Seuflon. One of the most important st >ps toward securiug a good crop of bees aud honey, is that of getting the brood combs well tilled at the begin> ning of the harvest. Some varieties of bees, particularly the yellow Italians, arc inclined to crowd the brood nest with honey. That is, tbey aro disin clined to put any liouey in the supers, so long as empty cells cau be found in the brood nest—even to put houev into cells from which young bee? have hatched. If supers containing drawu co.nbs can be putin at the be ginuiug of the flow, tbe bees wil' readily store honey in the drawn combs when they would hesitate to begin work in sections filled only with starters or comb foundations. This relieves the pressure upon tbe brood nest, and induces the bees to begin storing their Liouey in tbe sections, an.l where they begin the.v are likely to continue. The removal of the pressure upon the brood nest allows of tbe rearing of more brood, and is likely to delay swarming until a good start is made in the supers, and enough yoing bees aro hatched to make a good swarm. Hhndiuj? tbe hives, giving a good, generous entrance aud plenty of rooir in the supers,all tend to retard swarm iug. As soon as the first super given is one-ha'f or two-thirds full, it is raised up, and another placed undet it, next the hive. When the supei last added s half fill', another i» placed between it and the hive. Bj the time it is i ece-sarv toaddanothei super, it is likely that the upperaupet of honey will be tilled and ready tc come off. Sometimes supers are tiered up three high. Wheu a colony swarms the swarm ii> hived ui)on the old stand in a hive having its brood chamber contracted to only five frames, the frames being furnished with starters of comb foun dation. The supers are transferred from tho old to the new hive and the old liive set down near tho new one. By this method all cf the field bees j that may be out when the swarm is sued, return to the old stand and join the newly hived swarm that has the sections. Tbe small brood next ! crowds the bees into the sections, aud tho lack of combß in the brood nest compels the bees to store their honey in tbe supers until combs can be built in the brood nest, and as last as the combs are built, the queen tills them with eggs, and the result is that all of the white honey goes into the sec tions, while tho brood nest becomes a brood uest indeed. With this man- I agemeut a queen-excluding honey 1 board is needed, or the queen will go I into the sections where the swarm is I first hived, and make trouble by lay ing in the sections. The old hive is allowed to stand by i the side of the new one uutil the ; eighth day after swarming, wheu it is picked up and moved away to a new locatiou. All of the bees that have flown from tho old hive in the eight days mentioned, have marked that location as their home aud will return to it, aud joiu the new swarm. This accomplishes two things: It throws a I lot of bees iuto the hive where the i sections are, and robs the old hive at ! just the time when the young queens j are hatchiug. so weakening its forces I that all thoughts of further swarming are given up—tbe young queens being allowed to fight it out on the line of "the survival of the fittest." By this j method the working force and the ■ sections are nil kept together, aud I there are no small after-swarms to bother with. After tho harvest is over, there are two courses to pursue with the swarms that were hived upon ' only five frames: Oue is that of giving them more frames, or combs, and al lowing them to build up for winter, which they will do if there is a fill! flow. The only objection to this ar rangement is that swarms with old queens sometimes build drone comb. When colonies are united it is ensy to reject undesirable combs.—American Agriculturist.
