A Sanmff 1 Romnrf. Tbe romance of Rye Beach, this sum mer is the engagement of Miss Sarah Brown, a beautiful young Pennsylvan ian ami an heiress as well, to Robert G. Miller, the son of a Rye Beach fisher man, and himself nothing more than a skipper of one of me hotel yachts which are rented for excursions by lioielguests. Mies Brown was one of a party that made several trips on the yacht which young Robert **akippered," and Robert saw a great deal of her, and went dead in love with her, though, of course, mindful of the great disparity of their social positions, he kept the secret of his kv* to himself, contenting himself with paying her extraordinary atten tions Muring her trips on his boat. As for Sarah, she was extremely courteous to him. That was all. Well, the catas trophe that lod to the engagement hap pened like this: They are great hands for fish chowder down along the New England coast. Instead of serving a small plate of soup at the hotels, they set before each guest about a bucket! ul of codfish chowder, and, strange to say, the guests like it. Miss Brown is pas sionately fond of fish chowder and eats labuleoaly large quantities of it, and sometime, eats it so rapidly that she em her mouth full of codfish vertebra* before she knows it. Recently she did worse. She got a very large piece of the backbone of a codfish down her throat, and was nnerly unable to either wmllow it or get it out. She was ter ribly frightened,and so were her friends who decided at once that a doctor must be brought from Portsmouth, ten miles away. Robert Miller chanced te be in The hotel when the ordet was gives for a horseman to be despatched to !'• r;aiK>tth, and learning what the trouble w as. insisted on being the man. SE AV ~y -aift -TOED was saddled, and a Robert disappeared in a t-koad el dost. In a ooupleof hours the iWiemouth doctor arrived, his horse white wiTh foam and breathing Are from his nostrils and the doctor, being a skillful ie.k>* . soou extracted the booe. "Five minutes later/* he remar ked. **nnd 1 should have been too late. Ii that mes-vng'-r had not been a hero, I nrver have seen my patient aitve." "A hero!" exclaimed the lad lea. What do you mean? it was only Robert.the skipper." "What his name wna, I know not; but I repeat it, he showed him*elt a hero, and saved thin young woman's life by his hero ism." "Explain yourself," cried the excited woman. 60 the doctor explain ed how Robert had fallen from his hone when about half way to town, dislocating one ankle and breaking an arm. but notwithstanding his injuries he had again mounted the horse and tied himaelt to the saddle, and driven on fhster Than be/ore to make up for lost tune. "Why, when he reached my <4Bce," said the doctor, "he had just strength enough to deliver his message and then be fainted dead away with pain and exhausiion, I left him in charge of ray students and came on, for I knew that there was a case of life and death here.*' Well, when Miss Brown recovered her senses, being of a very romantic turn of mind, she lost them again, and fell in love with the man who saved her life, and she is to marry him as soon as he recovers suffi ciently from his injnries. Hmcr ud TUnt Some interesting experiments have recently been made by the medical fac ulty of Michigan University in order to determine the seat of hunger and thirst in the animal system. A dog was chlo roformed, after having been fed a hear ty meal, and while the musculo-mern branous reservoir for food was largely distended, an incision was made through the abdomen, over the large curvature of the stomach, into that or gan; then a silver tube, a quarter of an inch in diameter and an inch and a half long was inserted in the cut, the other end of which was then crooked up. The tube has half inch flanges at both ends, the inner flange serving to keep it in its place while the other flange closely shuts the exterior. The dog •till lives with his stomach permanent ly on top; in fact, the operation in no way affects the health of the mastiff,al though in undergoing the severe ordeal to which he is now sometimes subject ed in the, interest of science hunger compels him to eat about six times as much as formerly. The result of the experiment proves that the seat of hun ger is not in the stomach, neither is the teat of thirst in the throat, but both re side in the system at large. The dog was pei mitted to eat a hearty meal? which was taken from him, via the tube in a few minutes; after recover ering from his fright, he would eat an equally large quantity of food, and so on to any extent. Again, he has not been permitted to eat anything for say twanty-four hours. Food would then be injected into his stomach through* the tube. Notwithstanding his stom. ach was already full, the animal would at once gulp down more food; but if sufficient time was given lor the injec ted food to enter the system, he would then refuse all that was set before him. The conclusions arrived at from these experiments find confirmation in the fact, which has otten been observed, that persons suffering from thirst, al though the parching sensation is ap parently limited to the tlirost, find im mediate relief upon entering a bath or even from Immersing the feet in water. Easily Incurred, Terribly Obstinate, Is rheumatism. Even at the outset, the ordi nary remedies are frequently powerless to eopr with it This is more particularly the eaae when a tendehev to it is inherited. It should be com batted before it becomes chronic. When the first twinges are felt recourse should be had to Hestetter's Stomach Bitters, a depureut which expels from the blood those irritating pnncioles which, by contac", cause inflammation and pain in t e muse es and joints. Pois nous medicines which are usually administered for this disease, but which, in a alight overdose, may t rminate it by destroy ing life itself, should be avoided, and this safe and more effective medicine used instead, lime disorders of the bowels, stomach and liver which frequently accompany rheum at c anl gouty ailments, are invariably removed by this excellent botanic corrective. * AGRICULTURE. HOME MADE BONK AND DUST. —Take all the bones obtainable, either whole or ground, and place them in layers with three or four times as much stable mauure—first, a layer of manure, then oue of bone, and so on. Mix the whole thoroughly by shoveling, and cover with a few inches of fine loam to absorb any ammonia that may possibly be set free, and moisten occasionally with water or liquid manure. In from six weeks to six months an excellent fer tilizer will result, similar in all essential particulars to commercial superphos phates, with the addition of the uitng, and may be used with like effect and on the same crops, reckoning, of course, on the quantity of bone put into the com bination, not on the amount of the com post itself. The time occupied by the operation depends on the fineness of the material used ranging from "ground bone" to a whole skeleton of an ox or horse, and on the care taken in its management. The heap should be forked over often enough to prevent undue heating or "fire fangling," while the moistening keeps up a rapid de composition. The cost of this will be the price paid for the bones, if any thing, added to the labor—in all not more than one-half to two-thirds the cost of purchasing superphosphates. And in the home made product we have the security of a pure article. Of course this method cannot replace the phosphates of the market, but for the saving of waste bones, dead animals, etc., about the farm it is worthy of trial by the economical husbandman. HOT SHOEING.— In the opinion of Dr. Elemiug. the evils supposed to result from fitting the shoes hot to the hoofs of the horse are purely chimerical, Cold shoeing lias hail its advocates, but the process, in addition to being difficult and expensive, is lield to be injurious from the fact that the rasp and knife have to lie used so ireely in order to ob tain a fit. Tne hot shoe burns awav the inequalities ot surface, and readily adapts itsell to the foot. Fusing the ends of the fibres of the foot destroys ihe spongy, absorbent properties of the hor-j ami prepares it for the resistance ot moisture. "Horn" writes Dr. Flem ing, "is a very slow conductor of heat, and it requires a very prolonged appli cation of ihe hot shoo to affect the hoof to any considerable depth. Three min utes burning of the lower face of the sole has been found necessary to pro duce any indication of Increase of tem perature by the thermometer 011 its up per surface. It is never required that the shoe should be applied longer than a few seconds." Dr. Flemming furth er explains that tlie action of caloric softens 1 lie surface of the horn, allow ing the nails to enter more readily, and giving the farrier a better opportunity to imbed the elips and other inequali ties. The shoe should always be ap plied at red heat, and never at black heat. FEEDING LARGE AND SMALL ANIMALS. —Abundant experience, says an ex change, it such proof were necessary, shows that there is more profit in feed ing the larger breeds than there is with the smaller breed of animals, whether tor milk or meat. Of course there are exceptions to this, as in all general rules, the small Jersey cow for example, which is expected to produce an excep tional product of high colored and fine ly flavored butter; but this does not ef fect the rule above stated. It is only necessary to consider that, when we teed two"animals of 700 pounds each, we have to supply the demands of two sets of breath, circulating and muscular apparatus, which are considerably more extensive and expensive than those of one animal of 1,400 pounds. BCTTER MAKING. —If we have made a discovery, or if somebody knew it be fore us, we will tell it all the same. As soon as the cream shows signs of "com ing," pour into the churn two or three quarts of water—as near ice cold as it is possible—and the butter will gathers great deal quicker aud come hard and firm. We tried the cold water on the start and found it made the cream too cold and kept the butter from coming, but put in at the last end it is a capital idea, and will save hours of churning in the course of the season. Butter will come in fifteen or twenty minutes, as a rule, if the cream is in the right condi tion and temperature. Deafness From Tobacco Smoking; Chewing is much less liable to cause these troubles than smoking, because the tobacco smoke comes in contact with a much larger surface than the saliva impregnated with tobacco. Cigarette smoking Is the most injurious, because the smoke is so often blown through the nose, and at the same time enters the eustachian tube. The tobac co smoke is laden with fine particles, which gain access to the middle ear and irritate its lining membgane. While this does not admit of actual demonstra tion, it is rendered highly probable by the fact that disturbances of taste and smell are unquestionably produeed in manner, and are frequently ob served in habitual smokers. The long continuance of such an irritation gives rise to a chronic inflammation of the middle ear. The characteristic want of sensibility in the mucous membrane of the throat and nose of smokers who suffer from chronic angina is due to the benumbing influence of tobacco. An Indian's Logic. Sunday, 1763. Dined at Dr. Putnam's with Col. Putnam and lady, and two young gemlemen, nephews of the doc tor, and Colonel—, and a Miss Schooley Putnam told a story of an Indian upon Connecticut River, who called at a tav ern in the fall of the year for a dram. The landlord asked him two coppers for it. The next spring happening at the same house, he called for another, and had three coppers to pay for it. ''How is this, landlord," said he; "last fall you asked two coppers for a glass of rum, now you ask three." "Oh," says the landlord, it costs me a good deal to keep rum over winter. It is as expen sive to keep a hogshead of rum oyer winter as a horse." "Ah!" Says the Indian, "I can't see through that; he wont eat so much hay; may be he drink as much water." This was sheer wit, pure satire and true humor. Humor, wit and satire, in one very short re partee. Important to Sufferers. The greatest benefactor is one who relieves pain and cures diseaje.

French voashin\j. —A system ol washing clothes has lately been introduced in some French towns which is worthy of special mention. Its economy is so great as greatly to reduce the cost. This is the process :Two pounds of soap is reduced with a little water to a sort of pulp, which, having been slightly warmed, is cooled in ten gallons of wa ter, to which is added one spoonful of turpentine oil and two spoonfuls of am monia; then the mixture is agitated. The water is kept at a temperature which may be borne by the hand. In this solution the white clothes are put and left there for two hours before wash ing them with soap, taking care in the meantime to cover the tub. The solu tion may be warmed again and used once more, but it will be necessary to add half a spoonful of turpentine and another spoonful of ammonia. Once washed with soap, the clothes are put in hot water anil the blue is applied. This process, it is obvious, saves much time, much labor and fuel, while itgives to the clothes a whiteness much superi or to that obtained by any other process; and the destructive use of the wash board or of pounding Is not neeessarj* to clean the clothes from the impurities which they contain. Some years ago. Professor Taitof Ed inburgh, when 111, noticed in waking from a feverish sleep that the flame of the lamp in his room assumed a dec p red color. There was a ground-glass shade 011 the lamp, and the effect of intense redness lasted only about a second. Tlis explanation of tills was that tin* nerve fibrils of the retina with which green anil violet are seen do not resume their activity when a person awakes quite so quiokly as the red nerves. Professor Ogden N. Rood of Columbia College, New York, records some obser vations confirmatory of this view in the last number of Sill 1 man's Journal, show ing that temporary green color-blind ness may be produced by nervous de rangement and prolonged excitation. Twenty years ago he took chloform, ad ministered by a dentist in Munich. "Upon regaining consciousness," he writes, "and raising my eyes to the face of the operator, 1 was a little surprised at not having previously remarked his unusually ruddy complexion, but the next instant saw that this was due to an optical illusion, for his hair appeared of a bright purplish-red hwe. The singu lar appearance lasted perhaps a couple of seconds, when his hair resumed its natural color, which was white." Ef fects of a similar character have also been noticed by Professor Rood in his own convalescence from typhoid fever. BKKFCH-LOADING SIIOT GUNS.— Breech-loading tire arms were invented and need by several nations as early ar the sixteenth century, and specimens o i them are now to be found in the arse nals and museums in nearly all the cap itals of Europe. Within the last hun dred years many attempts have been made to improve the breech-loading systems and apply them to shotguns, but with only partial success until in 1836. M. Lefaucheux, of Paris, invented what is known as the Lefaucheux pat ent, and introduced cartridge cases made of paper and brass, or what is called the "Pin Fire" cartridge case. This cartridge case was a most important and valuable addition to the breech-loading systems, as It practically and effectually closed up the breech of the gun and prevented the escape of the exploded gases in tfiat direction at the moment of discharge, and, consequently, caused a range and penetration of shot equal to that of good muzzle-loading guns. In England these new inventions were not favorably received, and It was not until the large and excellent dis play of breech-loading guns, made by Lefaucheux and other Paris gun makers, in the L >ndon Exhibition of 1851, attracted such general attention that the English gunmakers as a class began the manufacture of similar guns. During the past twenty-five years the most skilful gunoiakers in England have given much time and ingenuity to perfecting breech-loaders, and many improvements have been introduced, which have resulted in producing the most perfect sporting guns ever made. The double breech-loading shot guns, made by James Purdey & Sons, Lon don, have never been equaled for finish, quality and power, but they are very expensive and only owned by sports men of fine tastes and abundant means. The guns made by Charles Lancaster, Stephen Grant, Westley Richards & Co., W. &C. Scott Son, P. Webley & Son, W. W. Greener & Co., are less costly and within the reach ot most sportsmen. In this country the talents of Invent ors have been largely directed to im proving breech-loading fire arms, in rifles and pistols particularly, and our readers are, no doubt, familiar with the names of Colt, Allen, Sharps, Rollin White (Inventor ©f the original patent used by Smith & Wesson and knowu as theirs) Remington and others. The perfection at tained in this country in the manu facture of metallic cartridges gave an Immense impetus to the perfecting of breech-loading rifles and pistols, and the United States now stands at the head of all nations as the producer of the best and most effective rifled arms for military or sporting purposes. By the application of machinery these arms have been made at the various private armories in immense quantities, finished so perfectly alike in all parts that every piece is interchangable in every arm of the same class and pattern; but as shot guns require to be made of so many various bores, weights, lengths, bends, qualities, <fce., it was dif ficult to produce them by means of ma chinery. The Wesson Arms Co. and Ethan Allen & Co., about 1870, at tempted this, but were only partially successful and soon abandoned it. Af terwards, by adopting a few fixed models as to bore, weight, &c., and a limited variety of styles of finish and quality, the application of machinery to such work became practicable, and most excellent shooting breech loading shot guns are now made by Parker Brothers, Remington <*; Sons, Nichols & Lefever, Fox's Patent and Colt's Patent Fire Arm Manufacturing Com pany; the latter is the last and most successful in this line. Hammerleßß breech-loading shotgun* nave been made for several years in England, and some handsome speci mens were shown at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, but they are being slowly introduced into this country. They embrace an important Improvement, however, and will gradually grow into favor as their merits become better known and they are reduced in price. We recently had an opportunity to examine and compare modern breech loaders of English and American man ufacture, in great variety, at the old es tablished house of Joseph C. Grubb & Co., Philadelphia, and we were both interested and surprised at the skilful workmanship, beauty of form, and great efficiency developed in this branch of industry. This firm has printed pamphlets, nicely illustrated, which they will send, without charge, to par ties interested in such things; their ar ticles are reliable and prices moderate. DOMESTIC. How TO CAN FRUIT. —Glass and stone jars are the only kind to use—for the acids of fruit will not be healthful if preserved In tin—and they can be pur chased very cheaply. Nearly all the fruits retain their flavor better if they are steamed Instead of stewed, as they are not so much broken up. To four pounds of the fruit take one pound of lump sugar, as it is less subject to adul teration. Fill the jars within two inches of the top with the fruit; melt the sugar in very little water and turn it boiling hot upon the fruit; place the jars in a pan of boiling water, and let them steam about ten minutes, or until the fruit, by expulsion oi the cold air, has been forced to the top of the jar; put the cover on at once, with a cloth, so as not to burn your hands, and screw it down tightly while in boiling water; set the jars on the table to cool, and it any bubbles appear in them take off the covers and boll again until the fruit is again forced upwards. Fruit canned in this manner will keep its flavor perfectly. Tomatoes can be pre served in stone jars with great success. Stew them for two hours in the jars, in the oven or in pans of boiling water, tilling them up as the juice evaporates; then cover with a cotton cloth, and put in the large corks that came with them, o as to prevent the hot air escaping. Make a sealing-wax of one pound of rosin, two ounces of beeswax and two ounces of mutton tallow, all melted together. Put it on while hot, with a brush, covering the cork and sides of the jar completely. Keep in a dry, cool cellar. OX DKIVINU OUT MosquiToss. Mosquitoes can be driven away from room Dy the smoke of incense powder, burned on a hot shovel. When it is not easy to get lire, put a bit of gum camphor in a shovel, light it, and the gum will catch as quickly as alcohol, then sprinkle a tablespoonfu. of insect powder (pyrethruui) on the tlame, let it take tire, and blow out the blaze, close the windows and let the smoke rise for Ave minutes. It "will not injure walls or furniture, and does not harm human beings, though obnoxious to in sects. Hanging u cloth on which a teaspoonful of carbolic acid is poured, at the head of the bed, will keep mos quitoes away, and the writer has re peatedly gained a good night's sleep by this means when others failed. Take care to place the cloth or sponge so that there is no danger of touching it with the hands in the night, as the acid burns like caustic. It is not generally known, as it ought to be, that the rem edy for burns by carbolic acid is Canada fir balsam, spread on the part attacked. To DESTROY REI SPIDERS. —FiII a barrel nearly full of water, slake in it about a quarter of a peck of lime, and let it stand until perfectly clear. Hold the plants in the water, bottom up, for about five or ten minutes, then wash them with pure water. A little flour of sulphur dusted over and under the leaves isalsoeflicacious. Separate those that are infested from those that are not touched: do so as soon as you discover them. They will always be found on the umier side of the leaves. The plants should be taken from the win dow to a place where water can be used freely. Lay each on its side in the sink pour water over and upon it, and keep doing so as long as any red spiders can be seen. Doing this once or twice a week thereafter will be a good preven tative ol their return. WICKED FOR CLERGYMEN —"I believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medicines, but when a really meritorious article is made of valuable remedies known to all, that physicians use and trust in daily, we should freely commend it. 1 therefore cheerfully and heartilv com mend Hop Bitters for the good they have done me and my friends, firmly believing they have no equal for family use. I will not be without them." Rev. , Washington, D. C. ACID DRINKS. —During warm wea ther, people Uoubled with biliousness crave acid drinks. This want may be met by the use of unfermented juices of fruit, mixed with water. A little tar taric acid added to water, just enough to make it pleasantly sour, is of service, of course omitting sugar if one would secure the best cooling effects, since all sweets counteract the intended good results of the acids. One should not drink for the mere pleasure of drink ing. WATER RISINGS FOR BREAD. —Take a quart pitcher and a spoon, scald them, till the pitcher half full of boiling wa ter; let the water cool to the tempera ture of good hot dishwater; stir in flour enough to make a batter as thick as for pancakes; add a quarter of a teaspoon ful of salt and as much soda; cover closely and set where it will keep warm, stirring occasionally. It will rise in five or six hours. Some prefer this to hop or brewer's yeast. SUGGESTION IS a privilege all can make use of, and we would suggest to the myriads of sufferers from Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Indigestion, etc., to use Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills, whose curative power over these dis eases is gratefully appreciated by thou sands.

Rub six ounces of butter into three-quarters of a pound of Hour; then mix six ounces of treacle with a pint of cream care fully, lest it should turn the cream; mix in a quarter oi a pound of double reflned sugar, half an ounce of caraway seed; stir the whole well together into a paste, cut into shapes auu stick cut candied orange or lemon peel on the top. To PREVENT MOULD. —Mouldiness is occasioned by the growth of minute vegetation, 'ink, paste, leather and seeds most frequently suffer from and by it. A clove will preserve ink; any essential oil answers the same purpose. Alum and resin are used to prevent bookbinders' paste from moulding. MUFFINS. —Take one pint of bread dough from the pan which has been raised, mix an egg, half a cup of butter, two-thirds of a cup of sugar, a little nutmeg; beat it well, set to rise again. When light pour into buttered muffin cups and bake. immediately. This quantity will make ten muffins. CHEAP MOLASSES CAKE. —One cup of molasses, one of brown sugar, one of milk, one of raisins, one of butter, and five of flour, two eggs, two teaspoonsful of cream-tartar, and one of soda (or threeof bakingpowder); spice to taste. Beat all well together. This is a de lightful cake, and will keep fresh for three weeks.

DIDN'T WANT TO DISTURB HIS WIFE. —A Jolly, fun loving saioonlst tells the following good tory on himself:—A few nights ago he went home very early—in the morning, mind you—with his "keg pretty full," to employ his own phrase, and concluded not to alarm his wife, who was no doubt at that moment enjoying delightful re pose; that sweet balm which Shak sneare tells us "knits up the raveled sleeve of care."

Naturally enough it aroused his wife in an instant, and springing to her feet she caught sight of her liege lord lying before her all curled up in a help. "Why husband!" she exclaimed In affright, "what in the word is the mat ter?" "Nossin, m'dear, jus' 'ought I'd come home t'yer." "Well, but didn't you fall? Yes'm; reek'n so.

"Why. my dear husband, you must have been tired and sleepy, for the door has been standing wide open all night. It was so warm I was compelled to open it to keep frem suffocating.

CI'KKD OK DRINKING. —" A young friend of mine was cured of an insati able thirst for liquor, which had so prostrated him that he was unable to do an.y business. He was entirely cured by the use of Hop Bitters. It allayed all that burning thirst; took away the appetite for liquor; made his nerves steady, and he has remained a sober and steady man for more than two years, and has no desire to return to his cups; I know of a number of others that have been cured of drinking by it."—From a leading R. K. Official, Chicago, Ills. OK General Albert Sidney Johnston it is related that one day in Utan when his command was two days distant from a mailing station, he found that a captain had returned to the camp for getting to post a letter which the Gen eral had intrusted to him. But all the commander said was: "I can Imagine no excuse for such carelessness, Cap tain." Not long after, the Geneial himself discovered in a Winter coat, which had been packed away, a letter, which a long time betore he had re ceived from the snrgeou with the re quest that he post it. He had taken it to the station, forgotten to post it, and it had remained in the pocket for six mouths. The conscientious General first apologized to the surgeon, and then sent for the captain and said: "I beg your pardon for reproving you for an offence in which I myself set the example."

The Umltrella Bird. —There is a bird that is wiser than man; it has lately been discovered, and is called the um brella bird, as it has a covering like an umbrella, which it can never forget and can never have appropriated. The bird is a native of the islands of the South American rivers, being seldom if ever seen on the main land. In dimen sions the umbrella bird equals the common crow of England, and but for the curious piume which adorns its head, and the tuft which hangs from its breast, might be mistaken at a dis tance for that bird. The general color of this species is rich, shining black, glazed with varying tint of blue and purple, like the featnerß of a magpie's tail. When the crest Is laid back the shafts form a compact white mass like an umbrella, sloping up from the top of the head and surrounded by the dense hairy plumes. Even in this position it is not an inelegant crest; but it is when it is fully spread that its peculiar char acter is developed. The shafts then ra diate on all sides, from the top of the head, reaching in front beyond and be low the tip of the beak, which is com pletely hidden from view.

It is suggested to use a hydrogen lamp to give warning of the existence of poi sonous gases in mines. Hydrogen burns in air, with an almost colorless flame, and the amount and kiud of color when burning in an impure atmosphere will reveal with moderate accuracy the quan tity and quality of the gas in time to give the requisite warniug.
