iiLNOVATING OLD MANSIONS.
W e will suppose that our friend Mr.
other) has possessed himse
b a n (or any
I;,h, of the fifty acres he sought for;
I hec ,, i s wood, there is• water, there are
tdovvs, and withal there is an old farm
withe,h home of the. out-going owner,
its clumps of lilacs, its bunches of
„i n n, its encompassing mat of green
') 1 1. Its site is not, may be, precisely
:be ono that he would have chosen ; but
, he poor draggled bit of shrubbery, and
the mossy cherry-trees that stand near,
„i ce to it a pleasant homeliness of aspect,
;i t h which any new site, with its raw, up
yarned gravels and fresh-planted shrubs,
must for a long time contrast very pain
rully Thus the question comes up—more

hulk w lo
little modern
, 9 And the thought of putting a new,
•
t y look upon the old tame outline of
b J a u l i n id an g, has something in it that is very
ca ptivating.
This suggests our first topic of discussion
.Is it wise to undertake the repair of an
a country house ? The builder or the
arc hitect, eager for a fat job, will say no;
t he mistress, with a settled distaste for low
ce ilings and wavy floors that tell fearfully
/ p e n the carpets, will say no ; but a practi
cal man will be guided in his decision by
t he condition of the building, and by the
range of the proposed changes. Two or
three axioms in connection with this sub
let it may be worth while to bear in mind.
First: it is never quite possible to make an
a ltogether new house out of an old one.
Second : it is the most difficult thing in the
world to determine in advance the cost or
the limit of proposed repairs to an old coun
try house. Third : it is altogether impos
sihlc to say in advance that any system of
change, however deliberately considered,
will prove ultimately satisfactory to the
female) occupants.
These truisms would seem to count
against the undertaking to remodel an old
house; yet there are conditions which make
it eminently wise, as well in a practical as
in an esthetic point of view.
If, for instance, the walls be of stone or
Melt, and not wholly inconsiderable in ex
tent, it would be bad economy, as well as
lad taste, to sacrifice them to any craving
or newness. In, the' brick, if well laid, a
man may be sure of a staunchness ; and in
the stone, with the lichens of years upon it,
he has a mellowness of tone which not all
the arts of the decorators can reach. But
area upon walls of such material, especially
they carry the blotches of age, it will
never do to engraft the grandiose designs;
of the modern builders. If a country liver
be really ambitious to match all the preten l
seas of the latest architecture in respect of
high ceilings and mansard-roofs, let him
kgin by pulling down ; but if his aim be
that of the finer temper which seeks to
qualify what is old by enlargement of di
mensions, and by such simple decorative
features as shall add a piquancy to the
wrinkles of age—even as the twist of some
sober.colored ribbon will set off some be
capped and widowed face more attractively
than all the snow-flaked haberdashery that
could be devised—let him cherish all the
t aaintness that is due to years, and seek
sly to magnify and illustrate it _by. such
enlargements as are — ttrke — e - piiiiwith it, and
by such sober adornments as shall seem to
be rather a restoration of old and lost graces
than the ambitious display of new ones.
The thing is feasible. It only wants an
eye to perceive the need, and a courage to
discard the flash carpentry of the day.
I beg that I may not be misunderstood.
1 by no twins intend to, say that the coun
try houses of fifty years ago were in any
!ease equal or comparable, on the score of
:mess or taste, to the country houses of to
; but I do mean to say, that if the
rails of such old houses are plumb and true
and sound, and repairs are undertaken, it
Till be far wiser, and call for nicer exercise
of skill to carry forward such repairs with
the quaint flavor of the old homely tastes
Ipon them, thus working out artistic agree-
, teat and adornment together, than it will
to belittle the old by a shocking contrast,
ad wantonly dress our grandame in the
!idelows of sixteen, and elliptic hobps.
again, let me lay down another distinc
:lon. There aro old houses which, in any
hditional or artistic sense, • are not old
houses. They are mere square boxes of
ozaber or stone, without noticeable feature
0: flavor. Such, if possible, may be incor
porated into any new design without fear or
oor; none but economic considerations
will stand in the way. But there are others,
'aieb, without being• accordant in any
'rise with the artistic designs of the pre
'r,t day, have yet a character of their own
-a character which any architectural ad
r,:er (by the ialities of his profession) is
Lund to detect, and which (by the niceties
'll , s profession) he cannot ignore in carry
out his changes.
i know of nothing which an architect
:a4 do better (in the way of illustrating his
r tai artistic capacity) than to take hold of
51 t of these old, almost uninhabitable court.-
houses of forty years ago, and without
violating its homeliness, graft upon it such
c onvenient addenda of rooms, porches, halls,
(gables, possibly) as shall, result in a' chasm
'll homestead, in which the ohl is forgotten
i ° the new, and the neviffinitife iaby by a
curtain indefinable smack of the old.—

FEEDING STOCK FROM STACKS.
Many farmers who make stock raising a
special feature in their agricultural opera
tions, are frequently deficient in barn ac
commodations, hence are compelled to resort
to the stacking process. Stacks properly
made, keep hay with very little damage
from the elements, but when they are locat
ed, as is frequently the case, in the meadows
where the grass is cut, a considerable loss
necessarily results, both in feed and manure.
This loss is predicated on the supposition
that these stacks are fed out in the meadows
or fields where they are built. In this
case considerable hay is blown off and lost
by high winds ; it is less satisfying to the
cattle when they are compelled to feed
while exposed to the sweep of the wintry
blast. Besides the droppings from the
stock will, in the majority of cases, be de
posited in some out-of-the-way place where
they have sought shelter, and not readily
reclaimed for use the following spring. To
prevent this expense and loss, it is only ne
cessary to provide sufficient yarding room
in the vicinity of the barn to accommodate
the stack. Feed from the barn first, till
room is made for more hay. Throw in a
stack, and feed on till room is. made for
another one. In this way the stock will
have the advantage of the shelter supplied
by the barns and sheds; will eat less and
waste less, while the manure made will be
deposited in a compass so narrow as not to
involve the necessity of losing much if any
of it. This winter removal of hay might
be wholly obviated by properly adjusting
the stacks about the barn and yard at the
time of, harvesting the crop. Much labor
would be saved in this way, while supply
ing a grateful screen to the stock from the
storms and beating winds of winter.
Finally, the practice of stacking hay in
meadows, and feeding it out there, is a
great detriment should there chance to
occur a sudden thaw, as the cattle will be
sure to poach up the turf, destroying the
continuity and velvety smoothness of the
surface of the meadow—diminishing the
succeeding crop, and impeding the labor of
harvesting.—Rwrai New Yorker.
HOW TO MAKE A CISTERN.
I have just made a cistern, and will
give my method :—I had a hole excavated
the required size and depth; hauled stones
from the field, boulders, the proper size,
with plenty of small ones, to back up the
wall. A stope mason in about two days
made a permanent stone wall in lime mor
tar. I. had it, made, jug-shapecb.drawn in
at the top to about three feet across. - The
inside of the wall was all plastered with
hydraulic cement—water, lime and sand.
I procured a large, flat stone for a cover,
with a hole through it large enough to let
a person through when necessary to clean
it out. Around the opening I placed a
stone curb so that it could be covered with
earth to prevent it from freezing and dis
turbinc,b the wall. This is perfectly dura
ble, tight, and the expense less than half
what was estimated by the other method.

KILLED BY AN ELEPHANT.
Mr. Alfred Moffat, of equestrian notori
ety in England, who, for the past five
years, has been performing Richard Bell's
two elephants, was killed at Morat, Switzer
land, on June 28th, while performing with
Bell & Meyers' Circus Company. The ele
phant had some trouble with the groom a
short time previous. Mr. Moffat tried to
subdue the beast by laying about him with
his spear and tomahawk, and compelled
him to kneel down to him to fasten the
chain around his neck. Mr. Moffat kept
the spear in the animal's ear while he was
doing this, but had to turn his back to the
brute while he took a chain from off his
leg. Just at that moment the elephant rose
to his feet, and Mr. Moffat, who had hold
of the handle of the spear which was still
fastened to the animal's ear, was raised
from the ground. The elephant then
commenced ' turning his head backward
and forward until he got Mr. Moffat in
front of him, then seized him with his
trunk, and threw him about twenty feet
into the air, and, as he was coming down,
caught him with his tusks and gored him
to the ground. Mr. Moffat still-had pres
ence of mind to call the animal by name,
and while on the ground said, "Go back,
Palm," but at that 1 , ! Lunt the infuriated
animal put his foot 6C Mr. Moffat's breast,
and killed him almost instantaneously !
The female elephant, seeing her keeper
and trainer being mangled, ran at the male
elephant, and gored him with her head :
then, with the assistance of the members
of the equestrian company, Mr. Moffat was
got away, from his enemy; but he was no
more—life liad flown at the time, Mentioned
above. The female went back to stables
and, seemed to try to get the male elephant
to do. the, same, but, in spite . .of all he
would`-nos go in; he *licked quite 'wild,
and he commenced (as though through re
venge) to tear Mr. Moffat's/coat, Which lay
on the ground pulling it into athousand
pieces, and then eating it. The company
tried about three hours to get him into the
stables, but they could not do it, either by
force or kiiipess. At laiiC the female
,came to the 'stable dapr, and 'commenced
crying, which drew hi to her. She then
aimed the door after him, and,• seeming
pate sensible of what had happened,
piked herself at the door so that he could
not get out again. Daring this time Messrs.
Bell & Meyers had sent for a cannon to
shoot the monster. For eight long hours
the female elephant stood sentry at the
stable door, guarding it with her own body
by the word of command from the groom,
George Mason, who has always fed and
cleaned the animals, and drove them on
the road from town to town, and whose life
a time or two had been saved by Mr. Mof
fat. At last the cannon arrived, and was
at once placed in a position near the - stable
door. George Mason then called the female
elephant away from the door, and the male
came out, and the word "fire !" being
given, a six-pound ball from the cannon

THE SLAVO.NIANS.
The Slavonians have always--been en
thusiastically devoted to, their native land.
No matter how wretched or how cruelly
oppressed, they have not been able to forget
their homes. Take for instance the Wends,
a Slavonian race, for centuries under Ger
man domination, residing in Western
Saxony and Prussian Lusatia. I have
seen numbers of them in- our. Moravian set
tlement at Kleinwelke, a mile or two to the
north of Bautzen. They love to gather
here, and although they contentedly listen
to a German sermon, they deem it a rare
privilege, now and then, in the village
church, to sing a hymn in their own lan
guage. Neighboring nations at a very
early period, took advantage of their peace
ful habits and their want of military organi
zation. German counts and bishops op
pressed them mercilessly, taking their
heathenism as a pretext ; in fact, extermi
nated them in Hanover, Prussia, Thurin
gia and Saxony. A German writer, says
Strasinski, relates that a considerable time
after the establishment of the Christian re
ligion, whenever a Slavonian was met on
the high road, and could not give what
was considered a satisfactory, reason for his
absenting himself from his village, he was
executed on the spot or killed like a wild
,beast. So, many of them were pold, in the
market, that from : Otenational,name of this,
race has come the odious, word, slave. The
Slavonians at the present day number
eighty millions. They extend from the
distant Siberia to the Bohemian forest,
from the White Sea to the Arabic. They
form the mass of the population of Russia,.
Austria and Turkey, and are even found
in the Morea of Greece. They all speak
similar languages. Strasinski says, " that
the sailors of Rafusa can freely converse
with the fishermen of Archangel, and the
inhabitants of Prague as easily communi
cate with those of Warsaw and Moscow.
Of late there has been a strong national
movement among them, like that described
in the case of Bohemia. They have felt
that they are all one people, and have one
destiny. If they fall to Russia, the Czar will
become the master of Europe; if under
liberal German influence their national
aspirations are gratified, they will, pervaded
by the now superior civilization of Ger
many, become a strong bulwark against the
westward progress of the Russian, power.—
E. Rondthaler.
ASBESTOS AND CRINOLINE FOR,
THE LADIES;
A correspondent of an Australian paper,
the Orange Guardian, writes as follows :--"
" Some twenty-two years ago ..I recognized
.the asbestos, or amicanthus rock in this
district, and since then I have; from time
to time, exposed portions of the stone to
atmospheric influence, and the result has
always been a perfect change of the stone
into asbestos, or into a substance closely
resembling the finest staple of wool, only
something stronger, and, if possible, whiter
in appearance. I have sometimes btained
it six inches in length, have combed it out,
and found it as soft and pliant as any silk.
This substance ) as no doubt you are aware,
is inconsumable by fire. The stone may be
brought into the state of asbestos in a very
short time. I have been employed sinking
a well, of late, and some days I got as much
of this. mineral as would make a suit of
clothes. I can show the stone here in all
its stages, from stone itself to the asbestos
state. Should asbestos ever come into
general use, it will, in some measure no
doubt, from its incombustible nature, super
sede the evils of crinoline. Besides this
great advantage, it will also set aside the
vexatious expense and use of soap and
water, for all a lady will have to do when
she unrobes herself will be to pitch her
articles of apparel into a glowing fire, and
when they have become 'as white as a snow
flake, she may resume them at her pleasure.
Perhaps you may deein some parts of the
foregoing rather extravagant; but, never
theless, I really believe that by proper
appliances the amicanthus may yet become
a source of revenue, and I therefore recom
mend the thing to your attention."
