He s|>oke from experience, and didn't care to hare ant one AmW his word when lie said that it had been his fortune to set* these hie water snakes more than once. He first met the serpnt in the China Sena. That was when he was little uiote than a boy. A emir when he mas captain of the ship (nor a.a vewwl mhieh tuuUxi from New York and was finally condemned in a South American port for nmaeaworthiness, he ran anus the serpent on tin- Pacific coast. The last time the nxnsler came under his notice was right here in the aound, "and," he said, as be looked at his watch and calcu lated the steamer's distance from New York, "it must have been at a Unit this spot." It mas in July of last year—so the nid sea doc's story ran—and he was taking a New York yacht around to Xem-poct. At ikvo the sun pourtxi down hot enough al nvme to open the seams of the deck planks. There was a three-knot breeze blowing and h was dead ahead. He had taken 111 his topsails —fthe wind. but tx> late. She struck the serpent square upon the laek, al though the sb.ch was not a heavy one. The monster threw its tail out of water, lashed the waves for a moment, throwing the apray high in tlie air, and then disap peared. TIH- yacht went about on the her tack, and ten minutes later the mons ter again appeared right alongside, and not twenty feet away. Tin- thing was g>ing at the rate of five knots an hour. The head wad shoulders went by, and then came the kmc. shiny-looking body, as large round as a ga*d-*iard log. In a few minutes the UK utsier mras <>ut of sight. The men on the yacht calculated that it must have liccn at least hundred feet lone. This was the only time the old sea-wg Island Sound, but that it was a grniune one he had no doubt whatever. No one else in tin- captain's room had ever seen the monster. The ea|tain of the steamer listened for a m hik- to the sbwies in silence. He puffed bis pipe complacently ami his eyes twink- •Ed merrily, finally he knocked the ashes fixnn his pipe, hitched his chairarouud in a way which was as much as to say "It's ray turn now." and lagan : "It was ~>n the night of the 2. r *th of October five years ago. 1 rememlter the date well.

For magnetic ointment take lard, raisins cut in pieces, and fine cut tobacco, equal weights of each. Simmer well togeth er, then strain and press from tlie dregs. White lead and linseed oil mixed as for paint, is almost unrivalled for saddle or harness galls and bruises, it forms an air-tight coating. Apply with a small brush. A practical farmer tells how to keep tlie bowels of a horse loose in whi ter as follows: "At each feeding give him about a quart of the middlings or shorts of wheat, as well as what grain and hay he will eat. This has been used for five years, and lias never failed in effect. Good things to have handy where there are horses: White lead for bruises or breaks in skin, saddle galls, etc. Bathing whisky with about 2 oz. of turpentme, 2 oz. hartshorn and a little camphor, for sprains, stiffness, etc. Leaf lard for cuts, t'oal oil ap plied to a light strain is also good. RAISING HORSES. — It is often said that it does not pay for farmers to raise this or that breed of horses, but this is true only in a limited sense. The best specimens of any strain or style of hor ses sell rapidly, at good prices, and the p*Kr ones of all breeds are drugs upon the market. It is no doubt true that a much greater measure of success may be expected with some breeds than others, the choice depending largely upon tlie circumstances of the farmer, his location, etc., and that, as a general rule, ordinary farmers cannot compete with wealthy professional breeders in producing horses for racing purposes, either runners or trotters: but even in these classes much will depend upon the location and tlie sort of brood mares tlie farmer may have upon ills farm, if lie is situated in a region famous for producing turf horses, one that is fre quented by buyers of such horses, where lie can have access to first-class stallions ami his brood mares are of strains of bltMßl noted for producing winners, he will certainly find it nfiS-q profitable to breed tor horses of this class. Where these conditions do not exist, he will usually fiiuMlie surest profit in breed ing heavy draft or stylish carriage hor ses. A NEW HAY PRESS. —A new hay press is patented which presses the hay into cylindrical hales. The merits of the press are chiefly that the hay is not bruised or broken by the pressure as in the old way, and the bales can he more easily handled. The process is describ ed thus: The hay, thrown on a platform, is delivered continuously in small quan tities up to a circular plate, and passes through two narrow slits, into which it is uniformly ted by two revolving ones, which impart to it a corkscrew motion. The hay is, in fact, roughly spun into a double thread screw of very tine pitch, and forced onward with gentle pressure until a sufficient quantity has been col lected to form a cylindrical bale of the weight desired. A pressure of about 0 cwt. to the cubic yard is then applied, giving the density which is found most desirable; a pressure of 3 cwt. to the square yard may, however, be given if required. The bale is then bound by wires, crossing one another in a longi tudinal direction. CORNS in a horse are different from those on the skin ot a human being. They aie first produced by blows or bruises which start iufiammaiion and formation of matter under the sole; or cause a deposit of horny matter which presses painfully upon the sensitive in ner parts of the loot. They are fre quent in fiat-footed horses, the frogs of whose feet have been pared away so as to bring the sole to the ground and sub ject it to continued bruises from stones. The usual mode of shoeing is one that protects the tender spots of the sole from blows in traveling. This is to put a shoe of sole leather under the iron shoe and stuff under the leather with tow soaked in glycerine to keep the sole cool and moist. If the soleis very ten der, the feet should be prepared for shoeing by keeping them upon a pud dle of wet clay lor a few days, and by frequent dressings of cold water and by giving the horse a cooling medicine, as eight to twelve ounces oi Epsom salts. A Goon LAWN.—Xo greater fallacy exists Until the idea that spading is but ler than plowing of an equal depth. Xo tilth can be better than that given by the plow, followed by frequent and continual applications of the harrow. Leveling with the spade can then be executed in the most perfeet manner, and the finishing touch can be given by a light cross-plowing and harrowing. Seed should he always liberally applied; and, instead of the various lawn-grass mixtures, we believe in the use of sim ple red-top seed, together with a very little white clover; and when it is thus applied (during quiet hours of the day that it may fall evenly), two or three years should suffice to grow a thick, vel vety turf. AN ample bedding of fresh straw will do much to induce a tired horse to lie down and rest. Clean grooming and an occasional washing will also encour age restlulness and improve the appe tite and health. Overfeeding is not ju dicious, and will not restore flesh lost by hard work and want of comfortable rest. To prevent galls, the harness should be washed and kept soft with castor oil. FOR every hundred heads of cabbage I take a quarter of a pound of black pepper and put in a box large enough to silt out well. Go into the patch be fore the dew is oft' and pepper the cab bage well. Two or three times will he sufficient. The worms go through the leaves and die. VARIOUS WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. — A ton of round timber is forty feet; of square timber 54 cubic feet. A com mercial bale of cotton is 200 pounds. A pack of wool is 240 pounds. A sec tion of government land is 040 acres. A liquid ton is 252 gallons. A box 10 by lfi'o inches and 8 inches deep con tains a bushel. When the Bowels are Disordered, No time should be lost in resorting to a suita ble remedy. Hostetter's Stomach Hitters is the most reliable and widely esteemed medi cine of its class. It removes the causes of constipation, or of undue relaxation of th* inteetin s, which are usually ndigestion or a misdirection of the bile. When it acts as a cathartic, it does not gripe and violently evac uate, but produces gradual aud natural effects, very unlike those of a drastic purgative; aud its power of assisting digestion nullities those irritating conditions of the mucous mumbraue of the stomach aud intestinal canal which pro duce first diarihrea. and eventually dysentery, The medicine is, moreover, an agreeable one. and eminently pure and wholesome. Appe tite and tranquil nightly slumber are both promoted oy it. THE HOUSEHOLD. MUTTON PlE. —Take cold boiled inut ton; slice it thin; have a crust made of one cup of beet" suet, one-half cup of butter, one cup of cold water; mix this with prepared dour, as stiff as for sea biscuit; take two-thirds of tlie crust and line a four-quart earthen pie dish ; then fill the dish two-thirds full with the meat; have a quarter of a pound of butter cut in small pieces, one tea spoonful of fine sugar, one of salt and a half teaspoonful of pepper, one cup of water; cover tlie pie with tlie re mainder of the crust and hake in a moderate oven ior about one hour. STUFFED TOMATOES. —Get them as large and firm as possible; cut a round place in the top of each, ami scrape out all tlie soft parts; mix with stale bread crumbs, corn, onions, parsley, butter, pepper ami salt; chop very finu, ami fill the tomatoes carefully; hake in a moderately hot oven; put a little butter in the pan, and see tiiat they do not burn or become drv. BK VI ISK AND HAPPY. —If you will stop all your extravagant and wrong notions in doctoring yourself and fam ilies with expensive doctors or humbug cure-alls, that do harm always, and use only nature's simple remedies for all your ailments—you will be wise, well and happy, and save great expense. I he greatest remedy for this, the great, wise and good will tell you, is Hop Bitters—rely on it. See another col umn. PICKI.KD VEAL. —Take a piece of cold veal that lias been thoroughly boiled, chop it fine, sprinkle salt, pepper and a little cloves over it; pour over it enough vinegar to wet tlie meat thor oughly; then set it over the fire until well heated through, when you can put it in a mould; as soon as it is cold it can he sliced for the table. COCOANUT CAKE. —Four cups of fiour, two cups of sugar, one cup of milk, five eggs, one cup of butter, one teaspoonful of soda, two of cream of tartar; half of a grated cocoa nut putin the cake, the otner half put with the whites of three eggs and one-half cup ot sugar, and put between the layers of cake. Bake in jelly pans. YORKSHIRE PUDDING. —A quarter of a pound of fiour, with a quart of water or milk; three eggs, well beaten, to he mixed with it; pepper and salt; butter the pan; put it under the beef so as to catch the gravy; have it in a good big pan, so as to he thin. Cut In pieces when served with the beef, and arrange around the dish. NICE BREAKFAST DISH. —CoId mashed potatoes, made into little halls and slightly flattened ; dip them into an egg slightly, so as to mix the yolk and white; roll them in craeker crumbs. Fry them in hot lard or butter. Send to the table hot. IF YOU have been drinking too uiucli, which however you should never do, a dose of Dr. Hull s Baltimore Pills will place you in good condition again. CRULLERS. —One coffee cup of sugar, six large tablespoon fills of melted but ter, one pint of sweet milk, two eggs, a little nutmeg, one teaspoonful o! soda, one teaspoonfnl of salt; mix in the tlour until the dough is soft and can be easily handled ; roll, cut out the cakes and fry in lard. LINCOLN CAKE. —One and one-half pounds of sugar, one pound of butter, one and three-fourths pounds of flour, t\*o pounds of fruit, one pint of sweet milk, one tablespoonful of soda, one egg; bake twenty minutes. A FEW potatoes sliced, and boiling water poured over them, make an ex cellent preparation for cleansing and stiffening old rusty black silks. Green tea is also excellent for this purpose. It should be boiled in iron, nearly a cupful to three quarts. The silk should not be wrung, and should be ironed damp. HAVE all the good bits ot vegetables and meats collected after dinner and minced before they are set away, that they may be in readiness to make a lit tle savory mince meat lor supper or breakfast. Kdwlu Forrest's Courtesy. At one time Mr. Forreft was playing an engagement in New York, support ed by John McCullough and Mrs. A. At one of the early rehearsals Mrs. A. being somewhat nervous, forgot a few of her lines and fell into several inac curacies in the business of her part. In order to recall her attention to the business in hand, Mr. Forrest spoke iu a plain decided, but by no means rough manner. The rehearsal then proceed ed and closed in a satisfactory manner. When Mr. Forrest joined Mr. McCul lough in the front of the theatre, Ins first words were: "John, do you know where Mrs. A. resides?" "I do not," was the immediate an swer of Mr. NcCullough, who added; "Mr. Forrest, it is time for dinner." "No, John, I cannot attend to dinner until I have found the residence of Mrs. A. Will you be kind enough to inquire at the box-ofiice if they can fur nish you with the required informa tion ?" The fact could not be ascertained at the box-oftice, and after reporting that fact to Mr. Forrest, Mr. McCullough again reminded the former that the hour for dinner had arrived. To this Mr. Forrest replied with evident feel ing : "No, John, I cannot move in any other direction until I have seen Mrs. A. I spoke in a harsh, I fear unwar ranted manner to her at the rehearsal and must make an apology at once. 1 feel that I am in the wrong and cannot rest contented until full reparation is made to the lady. My manhood is in volved in this matter. We must lind Mrs. A., John." After a search of some hours' dura tion Mrs. A. was found and an inter view obtained. At that meeting Mr. Forrest in a frank manner, disclaimed all intention of wounding the feelings of the ladv and complimented her for the care and attention she usually he stowed upon all her parts when acting with him in leading roles. When the interview was over and Mr. Forrest had taken leave of Mrs. A. he remarked, with his usual spirits: "Now to dinner, John. lam a man again."

IHE BOY WHO HACKED.—A short time ago a lady living on Duttield street was summoned to the door to see a boy about twelve years of age, who luid a cheap hat-rack to soil. When shelappeured lie said: "Madame, my father is dead, and won't you please buy this hat-rack for twenty-tlve cents." She was sorry that Ids father was dead, but she didn't want the hat-rack. The next day the same boy and the same iiat-rack returned, and the boy said : "Madame, won't you please buy this hat-rack, for my mother is dead, too." She was so sorrv that bis mother was also dead, that she gave him a slice of bread and butter, but she didn't want to invest in a bat-rack. Twodays later the boy called again, liaving the same identical rack under Ids arm, and lie looked the lady straight in the eyes and said: "Madame, won't you please buy this hut-rack, for my sister is also dead." "My goodness! is it possible that you have lost father, mother and sister in one week?" exclaimed the lady. "Yes, mum." "And what ailed them?" she asked. "I dunno, mum, but 1 kinder feel it in my bones that unless 1 sell this 'ere hat-rack afore Saturday night death will use up all the rest of our family and be going for other folks." "If limy this hut-rack will you tell me the truth?" "Yes, mum." She handed liiui a quarter, and asked: "Did your father, mother or sister die this week?" The hoy looked at her, hesitated, and then laid the quarter on the railing, picked up his hat-ruck, and said, as lie went down the steps: "1 only git Ave cents eommisli for selling these racks, and I cant afford to kill off three of the family and resur rect 'em again for any such ligger. Good-bye, mum; it's a square back down ou me!" No GOOD PKKACIHNO.—NO man can do a good job of work, preach a good sermon, try a law suit well, doctor a Eationt, or write a good article when e feels miserable and dull, with slug gish brain and unsteady nerves, and none should make the attempt in such a condition when it can be so easily and cheaply removed by a little Hop Bitters. See other column. WHEN you see a young man attired in a white fiunnel shirt, his face slightly burned with exposure, and hear him talk knowingly of "jib fores'ls," and "running under the wind," and "slack ing the main sheet," it doesn't to!low that he is much of a yachtsman. The chances are that lie would he seasick on a drawbridge." A PAIR of scissors was lost, and the little one suggested that a prayer be said, asking that they might bo found. There was, however, a lurking con sciousness that there ought to be a com bination of prayer ami work, so the youthful philosopher said: "Now, mother, I'm tired; so I'll pray While you hunt." ANY one desiring a recipe how to make soap for a cent a pound, will re ceive it gratis, by addressing I. L.

"Y'es, sir; lie was shot in the horse." SOLOMON'S wisdom was never more apparent than when lie warned pa rents not to lose sight of the rod.

The cleanings of Swiss watches is stated to be accomplished in the follow ing manner: A small stand of gilded brass, one and one-quarter inches in diameter, and turned round in a lathe, is employed ; the latter is mount ed on a firm base, with a stud in the center running up to the plate, and on this is engraved the shape of a watch movement with the bridges on it, and the screw holes drilled in. Now, when the watch is taken down the screws are placed in the holes as in the watch, and then left there until ready to put up again. By this means they never get mixed, and may be cleaned by carefully drawing a brush over them. Theother arrangement is a tapering punch, some thing like a "pusher," used for push ing rivets out of pins, etc.; and after cleaning the bridges in a paper, as usual, tlie punch is pushed into the the screw hole with friction enough to prevent slipping, and tlie finishing is done by means of a line brush. The Forgetfulneis of People. The Oxford Professor who, to avoid the wind when taking snuff, turned around, but forgot to turn back, and walked six miles into the country, was no more forgetful than those who still use the huge, drastic, cathartic pills, forgetting that Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, which are sugar coated, and little larger than mustard seeds, are a positive and reliable eathar tie, readily correcting all irregularities of the stomach, liver and bowels, bold by druggists.

It is not recorded that Job had piles, but he could not have had anything more painful, and the same ?|Uestion might have been asked then as siuoe or three thousand years : can piles be cured f We believe that Dr.Siisbee has solved tho prob lem, for nothing is more certain than that his "Anakosis," does absolutely and promptly curt the worst cases of piles.

A Xeto Electric Light. —A new electric light Is produced in the following man ner: An engine of four-horse power requiring a bushel of coal per hour to generate the steam, sets in motion a dy nomo-electric machine, composed of metals—copper and zinc being the gen erators of the electric current. A cop per wire connected with this machine passes through a steel cylinder about a toot in length, inclosing a magnet and a series of wheels, called the "regula tor." Immediately under this cylin der is a large glass globe which incloses the light. The end of the copper wire connects with two "points," or square sticks of carbon, coated with copper, horizontal in position, with the ends nearly touching. One of these carbon poinrs receives the positive, and the other the negative current, the union of which produces the light. As the light burns, the points which are about eight inches long and half an inch thick, are slowly consumed, and one of them will last about six hours. The regulator in the cylinder, by means of the magnet aud wheels,holds the points at the proper distance trom each other, so tlr.it the light is steady and utiiforui. The whole of the machinery is simple enough, hut not easy to describe with out a diagram. One of these lights is equal to 1,000 candle-power, or 190 of the dickering flume of the ordinary street lamps. Uue light will make a dis tance of lour or live blocks as light as day, and a single one will illuminate the largest theatre or hall. For out door illumination the new light may be pronounced a success. It will require some little change to make it exactly suitable for dwelling houses. For il luminating a large hall, garden or street it can be produced at less cost than gas; that is, the same quantity of coal will produce about twice as much electric light as can 1M; tnade from gas* IK YOUH Uver is Disordered UoufhimTs Ger mu" Bitter a will set it aright. 1 r Yoc are Dyspeptic UoqJkmdC* German Hitler* will cure you. Waterproofing for Leather. —A good ar ticle may be made by using paratline melted with' tlie requisite quantity of drying oil. and casting it into suitable blocks lor subsequent use. This being softened by heat, the leather of the manutautured articles, as shoe or har ness, is coated with it and placed near a lire or in a warm place until the com position has been absorbed. When leather has been impregnated with the mixture it is only perfectly waterproof, but it is also rendered softer and more durable. Shoes retain all thvtr firmness and natural elasticity, and blacking makes upon them a better polish than before. This same composition is ulso useful for waterp* oofing woven goods. It is placed 011 the under side of cloth for garments, either by melting and ap plying moderately with a brush, or by rubbing with a block ol the preparation. The complete diffusion of it through the texture is effected by passing the cloth between hot r llers. Fabrics prepared in this manner, while they repel water, are perfactly previous to air. For this reason tiiev are superior to ordinary oil cloth and rubber goods. They also look better than garments made of rubber, as the finished appearance of the cloth is in 110 way changed by the treatment. There is no truth in the assertion that anthracite coal loses its heating qualities when exposed to the air for a length of time.
