AGRICULTURE. TAPPING THE MAPLE TREK.—A very pleasant as well as profitable feature of tanning In Steuben county, N. Y., is the annual harvesting ol the liquid produce of the maple. To the world in general the process of sugar-making is comparatively unknown. All agree in saying the present has been a good sea son tor sugar-making, a cold winter being necessary to insure a profitable spring harvest. Then, when the sun swings high in thdjheavens, the beds of ice move out of the streams, and na ture's pulse begins to beat, the sugar maker armed with a half-inch bit, is seen boring the trees, penetrating very little under the bark. A metallic sap spout, with hook attached to hang the bright tin bucket on, is driven under the hole, the trees tapped this way wasting no sap, and cleanliness being secured. The first 4, run" is the best, like the head wines, of the European vineyards; the sugar that first reaches the market bringing a large price be cause of its superior quality and flavor —always providing that the unprinci pled grocers does not reuielt it and add two-thirds of inferior brown sugar, thereby swelling bis profits by swind ling his customers and searing his con science. A well regulated sugar oamp has leaders made of tin orciean wooden troughs leading to some central point. The buckets are emptied into the lead ers. and the bush is drained into huge receiving tinks or vats. The process of boiling is an interesting one. The boiling-pans shou'd be made of sup> r or Russian iron or heavy copper, with in side cross partitions, pans should be about ten feet long and set in arches of brick, the cross partition being set three inches apart and open at alternate ends. Thus the sweet water travels a great distance, and over a moderate ti.*e. When it drops from the pans it is called B}*rup, and weighs eleven pounds to the gallon. The syrup is carefully strained through heavy wool en cloths. When thoroughly cleansed it is put in kettles, and this Is called "syruping down." Two eggs and one quart of milk are necessary In cleans ing sixteen gallons of syrup, heating slowly over a fire and skimming un til it comes to a boiling point. To this is added a small piece of butter, when one has a superior quality of sugar, such as rarely finds its way luto Americau markets. The superintend ant of Agriculture says that 40,000,000 pounds of maple sugar is made annually in the United States. CURIXG FRUIT BY COLD. —An exper iment was made at a foundry in Placer ville, lately in fruit-curing, by blasts of cold air. In this experiment about a peck of sliced apples were placed in a sieve and subjected to a cold air blast lor three hours in the cupola furnace of the foundry, and the fruit is report ed to have been completely and beauti fully cured by the treatment, remain ing soft without the slightest discolor ation. We were about to say dried, but cured is a better word, for there there was Hone of that hard, hi still dryness about it which frequently re sults by sun-heat or flre-heai. The ex periment was a most gratifying success, and, in our judgment, is fraught with results of great importance to the grow - ers and manipulators of fruit. The blast of cold air completely frees the fruit from its excess of moisture, with uo possibility of burning or shriveling It. Compared with our sun-drying, it effects a great saving expense, atten tion and risk. Anybody who can com mand or devise a strong blast of cold air, can dry fruit in a superior—we might say peifeet—manner, without being dependent on the weather and waiting on the slow process of sun drying, and without the most expen sive resort to fuel and risk of overheat ing. BAD-FLAVORED EGGS.—A bad flavor in eggs is the result of one or two causes—either the food on which the fowls are fed, or the substance on which the eggs are laid. This may be easily tested by shutting up a laying hen, and giving her garlic or malted barley to eat. Another theory is—but we cannot speak of it with the same certainty—that an egg laid in any strong-smelling substance will contract it. This is explained by the fact that the shell, when the egg is Mrst laid, is comparatively soft and impressionable, and only hard after contact with toe atmosphere. Let your birds be whole somely fed on plain food, and your nests be made with clean straw, Hay nests have a :eudency to make eggs taste. A BASE FOR THE COMPOST HEAP.— There is no better base for compost than leaf mould of the forest. All the ilead animals of the farm, the refuse brine and vegetables, the leached ashes, the woolen rags, feathers of the slaugh tered fowls, and hair of the slaugh tered hogs should be scrupulously ad ded to the compost heap. If, on enter ing the village grocery, you smell old brine or putrid fish, oiler the merchant to take the nuisance off his hands. They will make a valuable addition to the compost heap. If there is a woolen or paper mill or a tannery, these estab lishments will furnish you uiuch valu able refuse matter for composting. DWARFED TREES. —The passion for possessing miniature trees and shrubs of various kinds may be mentioned as one of the traits peculiar to Chinese and Japanese gardeners, who take great pains in producing them. A dwarf ed umbrella pine, reared in a moderate sized flower-pot, has taken ten or twelve years to bring to a state of per fection, Although scarcely sixteen inches in height, it has the proportion ate character of a full sized tree. Such examples are very expensive, being eagerly bought by rich Japanese ama teurs for the decoration of their dwell ings. RIPENING OF CEREALS.—AS soon as the upper portion of the straw on the cereals becomes yellow, no further in crease takes place in the weight of the seed. If the grain be not cut down soon after the appearance of thi• sign its quality deteriorates and its weight diminishes. To MELT BUTTER FOR SAUCES.— Put a lump of butter in a saucepan, and set it on some embers until it begins to inelt; then take it off, and stir one way until the whole is melted. It should be white and quite thick. Safety from a Pestilential Scourge. Pr. tectum from the uieease, not a medici nal agent which merely checks the paroxysms, is the grand desideratum wherever the en demic scourge of malaria prevails. Quinine does not afford this protection. The chief reason why Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has won such immense popularity IB that it pre pares the system to lesist the malarial pest This it does by brae ug. aud toning the phys ical organism ; regulat ng and promoting an equal flow and distribution of the animal fluids, and establishing digestion on a sound basis. Not only is fever and ague prevented, but the worst types of the disease are oon quered by it Suoh is the only just conclu sion to be drawn from the overwhelming evi dence in its favor. It is equally efficacious in dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint and general debility, aud rheumatie complaint, aud is a reliable diuretic aud nervine. HUMOROUS. A GENTLEMAN called his servant one day and informed htm ho wished him to learn the name of the books lathe Bible. "Now," said he, "I will tell you the first, aud during the day I will ask you what it is, to see if you remem ber; it is Genesis." Later in the day Bob was called, but he could not remember what It v. as. "Now," said the master, "I have away to impress it upon your mind so you canuot forget It. Now, Bob, we itave an old hoss in the stable. What do we call li?" "Jenny." "Correct. And we have a little girl in the kitchen; what do we call her?" "Sis." "Very well; now put the two to gether and you have Jenny—Sis—Gene sis. 1 think you can remember it un til to-morrow." "Yes, sir." The next morning Bob was summon ed to appear before bis master. "Good momlng, Bob. Can you give mo the name ot the first book in the Bible this morning?" "Yes, sir." "Well, what is It ?" "The ole hoss, sir."' THK Chinese must go, and all Amer icans should go—and buy a bottle of Carbollne, the deodorised petroleum hair renewer and dresser.

LITTLE Edith (who has heard her maxima speak of blighted affections) — "Mamma, and you think if a person is really and truly in love It would he wicked to deprive her of the object ol her affections ?" Mamma—"Why. cer tainly, Edith, dear; but where In the world did you learn all that?" Edith— I heard you tell it to Mrs. Jinglejaw to day. And, mamma, I'm awfully in love with that piece ot cake in the cup board." It is needless to say that Edith and the object of her affections were immediately united. PROFESSOR PROCTOR complains that the intelligent compositor made him say "links, bonds and stripes for the violent kind of spectres," instead ot "lines, bands and stria in the violet part of spectra." There may be some difference In the meaning of the sent ences, but the compositor's sounds the more intelligible, and if lie were em ployed to "set up" all tho Professor's lectures, ninety-nine per cent, more readers would understand them. A SHORT article going the rounds of the press is entitled "Mow to Cook a Husband." If he has a voice in the matter he would prefer to be "toasted" —at the club; but when he goes home and kicks up a family broil, ho ought to be "basted." A "chafed" husband is uot desirable. Perhaps, after all, it would be best to par-boil him, for often pa bolls with rage when he is obliged to meander up and down the chamber at midnight with a squalling intant in his arms—we've been told. NEW remedies and old ones under new names are being constantly intro duced to the public, but Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup still takes the lead for the cure of Cough, Colds etc. Price, 25 cents. Two sons of the Shah of Persia are rivals for the throne, and one of them has had engraved on his sword the words: "With this steel I will mur der my brother," and caused the fact to be eommuicated to the latter.

His brother should have him arrested and put under bonds to keep the peace.

HANGING rr COATS.—A heavy gnr uient, like an overcoat, if hung by the loop at the back of the collar, will soon stretch out of shape by it own weight, to avoid this, various devices have been made some of wire and others of wood. A piece of hard-wood, long enough to reach from the out-shleof one sleeve to that of the other, will answer the pur pose; it should have a hole bored through center, or a loop of strong cord to hung It upon the nailor hook. U nder couts and vests may be hung in same way. For the "best suit" this little matter is of considerable importance to all who desire coats not to be full in the hack of the neck, and therefore, out of shape.

D' Abbadie has discussed the re'ative merits of tli® sextant and theo dolite a3 applied to the determination of ch 1 .tii|ii e and longitude f places in unexplored countries. M. D'Abbadie infists strongly on the dis: dvantages of the sextant. The fact that an ang e of more than 110 deg. canot be meas ured with the sextant makes it impossible to observe the meridian altitude of the sun in the tropics, whilst observation by night require artificial light which a traveller in wild regions finds it difficult to procure. Further, in, constructing a map azimuths are re quired, and these are so dicffiult to obtain with a sextant that they are rarely taken. M. D'Abbadie, there fore, recommends the theodolite as the most useful instrument for travelers; and he describes a pattern which he has found very serviceable. In this instrument a prism is placed in front of the object glass (which is more powerful than in most theodolites of its size), and thus the telescope is al ways horizontal, a convenient form of construction. The whole weighs 1% pounds, without its case. The tripod is formed of three rattan canes, wh'cti are screwed on to a wooden triangle. In determining azimuths with this in strument M D'Abbadie recommends the well-known method of equal alti tudes.

BurmalL Rurmah, a Kingdom on the Indo- Chinese Peninsula, lias, as it now ex ists, three well-marked divisions, Northern Hurmah, Rurmah proper, and the Eestern JShan. tributary States. The inhabitants belong to the branch of the MongoliJtc distinguished by a monosyllabic language; they are short headed, broad-skulled, ll it-faced, have black hair, and dark brown skiu, and resemble (lie Mongols more than the Hindus. Bo h sexes wear a white jack et, called in-yie; the men wrapping rouud the lower part of the body the put-so, several yards long, and the wo man wealing tlie k-niiiui, a scant silk or cotton garment, to which are added ; 011 occasion silk muslins, and gold or naments. The men and women alike smoke cigars and chew betel-nuts to excess. The former arc, for the most part, robust and well made, and excel in boxing, rowing, wrestling, and otlie • athletic exercises, and have con siderable mechanical skill. The houses are a framework of bamboo, thatched with the water-palm, and are built on posts several feet from the ground. I'lie women are more industrious than the men, buy, sell, weave, and attend to domestic duties. Both sexes are very fond of feasting, sight-seeing. bulToonery, theatricals, and bull'alo tlghting. The natives are attached to their liouie, though they aie far from patriotic. Without individual cruelty, they arc indifferent to the shedding of blood by their rulers, and, while tem perate ami hardy, are hostile to disci pline and continued labor of any sori. !

Dr. Radway has furnished man kind with that wonderful remedy, kadwar'i ■arsisparllllan Bssslvest which aooosa pushes this result, and suffering humanity, who drag out an existence or pain and disease, through long days and long nights, owe him their gratitude. "—Msatoal Muunggr. FALSE AND TRUE.

We assert that there is no known remedy Chat possesses the euratlve power over these dis eases th<t KAD WAV'S RESOLVENT furnishes.
