Interstate Commerce. Defeat of the Rea gan Bill.—The Substitute I'roposed. The Committee on Commerce of the House of Representatives at Washington, decided on February 18th, by a vote of nine to six, to report a substitute for the Reagan Bill. That objectionable measure is practically defeated by this action. The new bill proposes to make the same laws which are applicable to railroads engaged in transporting freight between different States also apply to the operations of steamboats, lake vessels and other water crafts. It provides for the appointment of a Board of Commissioners who are to have supervision of the entire subject of the transportation of freight from one Stale or Territory into or through other States and Territories, and to examine into any com plaints that may be made by the public of unfair action on the part of common car riers of any class that are engaged in this important business. 111 just discrimination is forbidden under severe penalties, ami in case any of the transporters.or transporta tion companies fail to redress any substan tial grievances brought to the attention of the commissioners, proceedings are author ized in the United States courts. If the proposed new law is found to be not fully effective in furnishing remedies for any of the real evils that have grown up in con nection with ihe management of transpor tation between different States it is made the duty of the Commissioners to suggest additional legislation, and to obtain and furnish to Cougress ail information relating to the operations of railroads that is likely to prove useful and important in this con nection. This bill provides much more appropriate and just methixls for accom plishing such reforms as may bo needed than the Reagan bill and with some amend ments may be acceptable to the trans portation interest of the country: or at any rate, will serve as. a basis for action, should the plan suggested last winter In) adopted by Congress, and definite legisla tion be deferred until a connnissiou of ex perts shall be able to thoroughly investigate this complex subject and report their ma ture judgment upon the matters at issue. There is no question that a more intelli gent conclusion could be reached in this way, and one that would be more valuable to all the interests involved. Ou general principles tentative legislation is hardly to be recommended where it involves the traffic of forty millions of people and capital aggregating forty-five hundred mil lions of dollars. Electricity as a Motive Puiccr. —The Impulse given during the past few years to the study of electricity has al ready borne valuable fruit in various applications of the electric current. One of these Is the use of electricity as a motive power.. A successful ex ample of the conversion of water into electricity, and the use of this current to drive machinery, is to be found at a large chemical works at Greenock, Scotland. The water is brought from a waterfall to a turbine, which puts in motion, by means of a belt, a Siemens' dynamo-electric machine. The cur rent thus generated is conveyed to another machine 150 yards distant, which drives a large lathe, a boring machine, and a circular saw. An in teresting lecture by Dr. Werner Siemens, of Berlin, on ''Electricity in Service of Life," has been recently re ported in tbe Dentsche Jnd. Zeituug with regard to electric transmission ot force. He speaks of two recent examples of it In Berlin, the working of several looms with a dynamo-electric machine, and the driving of a small locomotive in the same way. Much less developed thus lar (he points out) is the use of strong electrio currents for chemical and metallurgial purposes. Such use has been limited mearlyto galvanic clean ing of copper, ancl separation of this from gold and silver. But he looks for ward to electricity being of great ser vice in this direction. "The large and verj' promising domain of the electro lysis of fusible conductors is still, tech nically, quite unbuilt upon, and neither scientific nor technical chemistry has yet sufficiently appreciated the analytic and synthetic force of the current." It is possible, too (he thinks), that the science of the future will learn to pro duce more convenient fuel than hydro gen by expenditure of work with aid of the electric current; and the further step from the production of fuel to that of lood stuffs is not inconceivable. The energy of the solar rays, embodied in wind and waterfalls, may by-and-by, through the electric current, furnish a 1 necessary fuel, and enable us to uispense with coal. Crude Borax. —Some five or six years ago a yonng man was traveling the mountains, canons and valleys of Es meralda county, Nev., prospecting lor gold and silver. As he looked down on the valley of Teel's Marsh lie saw a vast bed of white sand or something like it, and was tempted to decend and examine it. He found the place to be the bed of a dry lagoon, five miles in length, and about half as wide; and what he had taken for sand proved to be a soft clay-like deposit, in which he sank ankle deep as he cautiously walked over it. Filling his pockets with the curious stuff, he mounted his horse again, and rode,to his home in Columbus. There an assayerpronoun ced the contents of his pockets the finest samples of crude borax he had everseen. The astonished prospector— one of the large family of bmiths—lost no time in making formal claim to his find; and that obtained, he and his brother went to work with tanks, boil ers, crystalizers and all necessary appli ances, and are at the present writing, as the masters ofa n immense establish ment, driving a very profitable trade, one likely to be as permanent as possi ble, since the deposit of borax in Teel's Marsh reproduces itself every two or three years. Aluminum Telegraph Wires. —German telegraphic engineers have lately been experimenting with aluminum as a material for telegraph wires. This metal can easily be drawn out to a very much hner gauge than is possible with iron, and its conductibility is twice as great as that of iron wire. Its exces sive cost has hitherto prevented its use for the purpose indicated, but it is found that an alloy of aluminum and iron can easily be made, which will produce a wire both liner and stronger, and less susceptible to atn ospheric changes than iron wire, while it is much superior as a conducting medium. A Wise Reform, The habit of administering quiuine in pow erful as an antidote to malarial mala dies, was oace dangerously common Happily th s practice has undergone aw de reform. Not only tbe publio, but professional men have adopted, not wholly, of course, but largely, Hostetter's IStomach Bitters as a safe botan c substitute for tbe pern cious alkaloid. The consequences of this change are meet impor tant. Now fever and ague sufferers are cured —formerly their oomplamts were only tor the time relieved, or half cured—the remedy eventually failing to produce any appreciable effect, except the doses were incieased. A gourse of the Bitters persistently followed, reaks up the wors attacks aud prevents their return. The evidence ip favor of this sterling specifics and household medicine is of no am biguous character, but positive and satisfac tory, and the sources whence It proceeds are Tery numerous. FARM AND GARDEN. CORN FOR HORSES. —Is It or Is It not economy to feed horses corn in the ear? We have practiced it for a num ber of years, believing that the portion that was not masticated, and so passed out of the* horse without being digested, was not equal to the miller's toll. The toll is every tenth, and this with the waste and time spent in going to the mill will make it fully equal to every eighth. Another thing lartuers do not think enough about, Suppose every tenth is not masticateu and assimilated by the horse, it is kept on the farm, whereas, if it is left at the mill the fairn is so much depleted of plant-food. We throw the whole ears into the manger, and let the work horses bite the kernels off as they like. As soon as horses get used to eating corn there is no danger of its producing any colic or other derangement of the bowels, but care must be taken not to begin too strong at tirst. Three or four ears of flint corn are all a horse should have to begin a diet of this food. The Southern and Western corn is lighter, and is not so apt to produce colic In the South, corn is almost always fed in the ear, and so it is in the West, when fid at all. Corn is excellent food for horses to work on, but not so good tor fast driving. They are more quiet and tractable 011 corn than with any other grain, and will do more hard pulling and drudgery with less loss in condi tion, Oats makes a horse sprightly and active, and hence should be fed sparingly to a colt. Oats have helped to make a great many balkv, spavined and runaway horses. Corn makes them dull and slow, but strong. Corn is the best for colts while being broken. It may be made lighter and not so heating by having wheat bran mixed with It.

SAVING BY HANDFULS. —One handful of hay is not much, nor for the matter of that are twenty handfuls; the saving of so much would neither make no break a man. But with twenty head of cattle to feed twice or tliriee a day the saving of a handful apiece, every time, would amount to something he fore the pastures are green again upon our Irost bitten hills. Do you ever think of it? We are not hinting at stinting the cattle. But how many of us allow animals to waste a handful each at every feed, lor want of a little attention to feeding arrangements? ilow many head of stock on our north ern farms require a handful more of hay at every seed to keep up the ani mal heat, than they would require if their stables had all the cracks st >pped, and let in the cold winds ot winter? A handful of manure is but a trifle; yet tlie addition of a single handful in a hill of corn may make the difference between long, full ears and stinted nubbins, when the harvest eotues. How many handtuls of manure arc going to waste every day about our yards and buildings? Could you not save half a bushel a day, by being care ful? And the liquid manure—is there not enough lost every day to make a good many long ears where we shall probably find only nubbins next fall? Handtuls of bay, handtuls ot manure! —these are small matters, say you? Y'et on just such small matters depend many a man's successor failure in life. Here is one man that tends to it care fully, and at the end of twenty or thirty years lie has a competency for old age; another negleets them as be neath his notice, and is always behind hand ; he lives and dies short in pocket and short in eomtort. We do not preach niggardliness; it is by saving when we may that we prepare ourselves to be "liberal when we will save the handfuls.

Get up enough to last the. entire winter, saw or cut it up into convenient lengths lor the stove or lircplace, and stack it away in the wood shed. which should be easily accessible from the house and kitchen, so that there will be no need of running out in the rain and snow lor it later on in the season. It is a miserable business all around when necessity compels the head of the household to go to the woods in winter three or four times a week for wood, which is hauled home and thrown on the ground to be cut as oc casion requires, in rain, snow and slush, and packed in the sitting-room and kitchen in a wet ami filthy condi tion. A day's work will provide a good woodhouse, with board roof and shel tered on three sides; two weeks' work in a time of comparative leisure will put in enough wood and kindling to iast through the hardest of the winter, and when this is done a vast deal of coinlort is provided in which the whole household shares. The man who ne glects to get up a good store of winter wood in time, with plenty of chips and kindling thrown in and placed in a dry woodhouse near the kitchen, deserves nothing better than sour looks from his better half, half-done biscuits and cold coffee until he repents of his error and amends his ways. UTILIZATION OF FEATHERS.—TO uti lize feathers of ducks, chickens, and turkeys, generally thrown aside as re fuse, trim the plumes from the stump, inclose them in a right bag, rub the whole as if washing clothes, and you will secure a perfectly uniform and light down, excellent for quilting cov erlets, and not a few other purpose.-. EXERCISE FOR HORSES. — Workhorses and those kept for driving purposes often receive permanent injury at this season ot the year, by being shut up and deprived of exercise. Lung, bowel, and foot diseases are frequent penalties of neglect of regular exercise when not in use. ALL DISEASES OK THE BLOOD. -If VTGV. etine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restoring tho patient #0 perfect health after trying different physicians, many remedies, suffering for years, is itwiot conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this medicine perform ing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. Ihe great source of disease originates in the blood ; and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and" renovate, has any just elalm upon publio attention. DOMESTIC. SHADED EMBROIDERY.—Shaded em broidery is the mostelegaut, the most imitative, and the most unlimited in its capabilities—aptly portraylngand rival ing the productions of the painter, whether for historical subjects, land scapes, portraits, flowers, or arabesque. It may also he termed the easiest, al though the leat mechanical, being less subject to rule than any other, as the most beautiful efleets are ofien produc ed, where there appears to have been a total Indifference, or ignorance of any attempt ai a regular embroidery stitch. The frame being properly dressed with the material, upon which the pattern has been previously traced and shaded, the position of the flowers, or whatever the subject may be. should be attentive ly observed, ami a determination made of the sur I aces on which the lights would naturally fall. This is more essen tial before commencing the work, If the intention be to embroider as taste may direct, and without copying with a colored engraving. The right hand" should always he above the frame, the left beneath; and the rule, il any exists, other than what convenience dictates, is always to draw the needle upward from the right, and tlulsh the stitch by putting it down to the left. It is better to commence with the smaller parts; such, for instance as the stems, buds, and leaves, in a group of flowers; and the tirst. care and attention should be bestowed on the obtaining and preserving a clear outline. This, of course, is essential both to the per fect ion of the design and to the execu tion of tne work. A PKKTTV PI'HSK. — .Vow that LTL ami silver coin are so freely used, the old-fashioned purses are lu demand again, ami are considered very elegant gifts. The tollowing i* ea-ily inaile ami is very pretty: Three bunehes of gold beads and two knots of pure twist are required. Make a chain of sixty-eight stitches, having previously strung tin' beads. First row. A treble crochet into every loop, and take up the bead* thus: Put the silk over the hook ami push up a bead; finish tlie stitch iu the usual way. You have thus used two beads to your treble. Second row. One treble, one chain; every row is alike, but in coining back work into each hole. If fire I erred u-e only one bead; that is, put the silk over the needle, draw through the lower loop then through two loops; now push up the bead and draw the >ilk through the last. Put gold rings and gold tassels, or Instead of the latter a bunch of gold beads. This makes a long purse. Green silk and gold or steel beads, or blue and steel are particularly admir. d. The following dt liiiitiou ot ••treble" may be of service to some readers—"treble" is to put the thread over the hook and insert tlie latter into a loop; draw the thread tirst through the loop; then through two stitches, then again through the last two stitches.

CHOCOLATE CREAM DROPS. -*£Take two cuptuls of white sugar, cupful of milk; put them into a Mtucepan and beat until it boils; then boil hard five minutes precisely; set the pan in a dish of cold water; stT until the mixture creams and cools sufficiently to handle; then mould into small drops, laying them on a battered platter. Flavor if you preter. Take half a cake of Baker's chocolate, scrape fine, put it into a bowl and set in the top of a steaming (not boiling) tea kettle till dissolved ; then take the creams, one at a time, and drop in the chocolate, roll over quickly, take out, with a fork and slide on a but tered platter. Be careful not 10 let the chocolate cook, or it will harden. BAKED DRIED PEAS. —Three pints OL dried peas; seven quarts of cold water; three pounds of bieon or salt pork; pick over the peas; wa*li and soak them over night in cold water; drain and pour ihem into a pot with the bacon or pork the latter previously cleant-e I ;coverand boil gently; remove the scum as it rises; when the peas become soft drain and mash them, put them into a baking dish, smooth the top. place the bacon or pork on top, put the dish into the oven, and bake brown. The liquor from the peas may be strained, put into a pot, thickened over the tire with In dian-meal, (about four or live lab e spoonfuls to a pint) and boiled gently about one hour.

POLENTA. —This may be really noth ing more than our Indian mush, but, having lived in northern Italy, my cook made polenta which 1 thought was verv good. About a pint of water was put into a stew-pan to boil, in which a pinch of salt was added. The Indian-meal, ground coarser than we use it, was stirred into it until it. was thick. As soon as it puffed up, the bub bles of steam escaping from it, it was taken from the lire and poured into a thick cloth on a table and made into a big ball. When cold it was cut in slices, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese and fried in oil or butter. If sausages were fried, slices of polenta were cook ed with them.

"It's my wife," lie thought, "and I will bother her a little." So he said out loud, "Well, old girl, why didn't you shovel in that coal, and nail up the hack gate. And see here, you've got to eat less, for 1 want some money to pay my cigar bills, and you must cut down in household expenses. Besides, wife, I've about concluded to have you take in washing, and—" The door Flammed behind him, and he reached tlio win dow just iii time to see a neighbor wo man going out of the gate, and his wife nowhere in sight. The report in that, neighborhood now is that (lie man's wife is being starved to death t get hi in cigars; that she does alt the mental work, mid is obliged to take in washing together husband money which he spends in saloons. IT never pays to he impolite. A man dining in a St. Albans hotel hit his neighbor with his elbow and didn't apologize, and pretty soon the neigh bor jabbed ills elbow into the offender's ribs, and the latter said : "You think your duru smart, don't yor?" and pre tending to cut his meat drove a dig into tin? other, and then they clinched, and it. took four waiters and the clerk to get, 'em apart, and they had to pay $27 apiece for broken crockery and furniture.

M rphlne, opium, strychnine, arnica, hyosclamus, and other powerful remedies, does at certain times, in very smad doses, relieve the patient during their action in the system. But perhaps ths second dose, if repeated, may aggravate and lu cre isS the suffer! .g. and another dose cause death.
