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.

old, iul every prophecy has been lull
filled except the last—the end ot the
world in! SSI. Buy your Carboline, a
deodorized extract of petroleum, the
great natural hair restorer, before the

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.

WINTER WOOD.— O.ieof the most im
perative duties the head of the family
in the country is called upon to perform
is the securing of an ample supply of
fuel for his family. 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

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.

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

WIT AND HUMOR.

heard foot-steps approaching. "It's

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

FALSE AND TRUE.
Wo extract from Dr. Radway'a "Treatise os
disease and Its Cure." as follows:
List of Diseases Cored by
Raiway's Sarsaparillian Rosolrest
Chronic flkla Diseases, caries of the Bone.
Humors in the Blood, Scrofulous Dies sea. Bad

I'lmpleH and Blotches Tumors, Dyspepsia. Kid
ney and Bladder Diseases, Chronic Rh um&tlsm
and Gout, Consumption, Gravel and Calculous
Deposits, and varieties of the above complaints
to which sometimes are given specious names.
We assert that *: ere la no known remedy that
possesses the curative power over these dis
eases ih t KADWAT'S RESOLVENT furnishes. It
cures, step by step, surely, from the founda
tion. and restores the injured parts to their
sound condition. The wmtesof the body
are stopped and healthy blood U inp

CAUTION.
All remedial agents capable of destroying Itts
by an overdo e should be avoided. 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. Tth're is no necessity for tt&lng these
uncertain agents, when a positive remedy ltkt
