The Windmills of Rhode Island. One of the many pleasing objects pre • sen ting themselves to the eye in the numerous line drives from Newport to the other two towns —Middle town to Portsmouth on the same island, are the old-fashioned windmills. They may truly be called old-fashioned, not only on account of the antiquity of this method of giindlng grain, but also be cause of the venerable age of the struc tures themselves. Most prominent among these is the Old Stone Mill, built two hundred years ago by Gover nor Arnold, which has so absurdly been made to do duty as a relic of the legendary visit of the Northmen to Newport. The Governor mentions this structure in a deed of land adjoin ing its site, and he evidently built it after the model which he had seen near ins own birthplace in England, which is still in active working order. Doubt less many a grist was, in years gone by, ground within this rootless relic. The lack of running streams, tidal or otherwise, on the island, compelled the flr<t English occupants of it to have recourse to this method of manufactur ing their breadstuff's. It offers a pretty fairly balanced comparisonot facilities and costs with the use of water power. There are eight of these windmills 011 the island besides Arnold's, seven of them doing active duty when the ele ments are favorable to their operation ; the view of them in motion is very agreeable, though horses are very apt to be frightened by the sight of their expanded wings. The one neaiest to Newport is on the edge of Middletown, to the west of Paradise road. This was built and originally set up at Tiverton more than a hundred and twenty-tive years ago. Its substantial oaken tim bers, which ot course, have been often recovered, areas hard as iron. Such a structure needs to he very strong, or else the wracking which a still* wind gave to its sails would soon tear it to pieces. The main timbers and cross timbers are firmly stayed, so as to allow nothing more than that apparent work ing which is felt on mld-oeeau In the best built wooden, or even iron ships. The nether millstone Is set about eight feet front the fioor, so thoroughly se cured as not to he started in its posi tion. A windlass arrangement draws up a supply of corn to feed the hopper, and flights of steps go to the top to facilitate the oiling of the machinery aud the regulation of the movement" Another external wheel sets the sails or fans to the wind, the sails being ex panded or drawn in by rope gearing* The horizontal revolving shaft is con nected with a perpendicular one, to which is firmly attached the upper millstone. Of course the power and capacity of the mill lor work depend upon the force ot the wind. If this he tempestuous and gusty, it is not safe to allow its operation. A force of at least ten or twelve horse-power is re quisite for grinding hard Indian corn into fine meal, but feed may he manu factured with somewhat less force. Twenty-five bushels of fine meal is a fair product of the mill for one day. at a little distance, the huge fans turn gracefully in apparent silence, as it in harmony with the z*pliyrs. But when one stands immediately under the shaddow of the structure there is a majestic sweep in tlieni attended with a corresponding sound, not exactly a noise, and one is nfade to imagine what would be the effect 011 his body or skull, if he stood in the way. Yet the required momentum seems to be less than than that of machinery moved by steam or water power. Horse Chestnut*. A couple of solid citizens of Phila delphia, Pa., —solid in avoirdupois as well as in their bank accounts —were in a horse-car a day or two since, when a man came limping aboard apparency suffering from rheumatism. One ol the solid men remarked, "I've never had a twinge of rheumatism in ray lite," and at the same time he took trom his pants pocket a horse-chestnut, and displayed it with an air that seemed to imply, "this is the little joker that did the business." But 110 sooner had solid citizen No. 1 displayed his chestnut charm with a contented air than so id citizen No. 2 also drew from his panta loons pocket a horse-chestnut. Said the first citizen : "I've carrie i that for thirty years." "So have I carried this more than thirty years," replied the other; "but I don't carry mine for rheumatism. I carry it for the gout." A passenger who had been an intei esa d listener to the toregoing, rather timidlj asked one if he really believed there was any virtue In a simple horse-chestnut. "No!" answered the man. "Then why do you carry the thing about with you?" "Because it don't cost any thing and can do no harm if it does no good?" "It shows a little superstition though." "Very well, I'll shoulder it. In the meantime I shall keep on carrying it. I've carried it thirty years, and have not been troubled with the rheumatism, and I know of others who can testify to the same good results." Then the lame man who had got aboard of the car and was the cause of this episode, put his hand in his pocket and drew out a horse-chestnut,'and held it up to the gaze of the others. A ripple of laughter went up, and the two solid ciuzeus who had pinned their faith to the nut anticipated a set-ba ;k from the lame man. But the latter reuia rked "Don't laugh, gentlemen; I have faith in the horse-chestnut. .My lameness is not rheumatism. I got a sprain a few days ago. I had a touch of the rheu matism, though, about ten years ago, and 1 got a horse-chestnut, and have carried it in my pocket ever since." Perhaps three men carrying horse chestnuts is a rather big average for a one-horse car-load of passengers, but there are more masculines with these horse-chestnut eharms in their pockets than Dr. Tanner in his philosophy "ever dreamed of." —The telephone lias been used in Australia to convey the sound of a chime ol bells 240 miles. The Bastile. The Bastile ol Paris, did not actually become notorious as a State prison until the reign of Louis XIII., al though high personages were confined in It Irom time to time almost from its first existence —In fact, if tradition is to he believed, the very noble who built it by the King's command was the first one to pine away in its deep recess es. A lettre de cachet from the King was all that was required to bring any one there, and once their it was no easy matter to get out, for nothing hut an other order from the King would have the least effect —it being to the interest of the Governor to ha\e as many pri soners ar possible, as he was allowed so much per head, and the scale of prices was very liberal —so much so that the post was looked upon as a verv fat berth for any one who had no objection to doing dirty work. Not only men but women and children found their way into the Bastile, so that there was often a lack of accommodations. The cells were all in the high round towers, where a heavy iron grating and a pecu liar construction of the windows pre vented more than a modicum of the daylight from entering. The dungeons were slightly beneath the level of the moat, ami a narrow opening into the ditch was all the provision for fresh air and light. The foul odors, which were all that the prisoner in one of these could get as a substitute for fresh air, soon broke down his health, and unless he was of a very robust consti tution he did not live long. The build ing had accommodation for fifty State prisoners, but when its doors were opened 011 the memorable 14tli of July, 1879 only seven were found; among tlieni being a man who had been a prisoner thirty years, and who had be came so weakened in his intellect dur tliat time that he begged piteously to be allowed to remain—he was so used to the gloom and silence. Another had been imprisoned when a boy of eleven, and though he was now long past man's estate, neither he nor anybody seemed to know why he was there. Ull the wall were the records of others who had passed long lltetimes in those cells, either for some reai or imaginary tri vial offence. The Bastile was then to the people of France a synonym of all that was despotic, cruel and contemp tible In the government, aud for this reason it was razed to the ground, and consequently, 110 doubt, the Third Re public was selected the anniversary of that deed for special honor. Koyl CovetousiieH*. The covetousuess or greed of royalty may be considered as exemplified in the ease of the Prince of Wales. It reaches a higher climax in the instance of the Duke of Cambridge, Queen Victoria's first cousin, who, besides accepting SOO,- 000a year as a royal duke, with $70,000 more to his mother and two sisters, holdsseveral well salaried civil appoint ments and draws $34 a day as a Field Marshal and $22,100 a year as Comman der of the Army. He is technically de scribed as the "General Comuiander-in- Chief," but, were he eouimissionen as "Commander-in-Chief of the Army," his nay would be double—that is, $44,- 320 instead of $22,160. Had the late Prince Albert, who knew nothing of military matters, been appointed com uiander-in chief on the retirement of "The Iron Duke," as was proposee by Victoria, the Prince Consort, who had been nicknamed "The Feather Bed Field Marshal," would have received the double pay of forty-four thousand dollars. This flagrant job, however, had to be shelved. The Duke of Cam bridge, commanding the army, anil knowing better, of course, than any one else his own value as a warrior, has signed a sheaf of commissions in succes sion, making himself colonel-in-chief of five of the crack regiments in "Her Majesty's service"—lancers, hussars, lite guards,grenadiers and artillery. O J can imagine this stout gentleman, who weighs 20 stone or 283 pounds, being in battle with all his five regiments. How lively his movements then Rhoulil be to command each and all of them. Only Dan Jiiee or that scientific equestrian, the late Monsieur Ducrow, w ho used to ride half a dozen horses in the circus at one and the same time, could be com pared to this tremendous warrior. One regiment is thankfully accepted by genuine soldiers who have got to the top of the roll by long and gallant ser vice, but princes of the blood royal as sume to stand on a higher level than these brave veterans, so the Duke of Connaught, lately a Major, by very rapid promotion, in a rifie bittalion, now is Colonel-in-chief of a brigade, consisting of four such regiments; the Prince of Wales is a Colonel thrice over, and the Duke of Cambridge has five r giments. It seems as ii of all these scions of royalty ought to have their names legibly writ upon the muster roll of the rifles. No doubt this is the opin ion of John Bull. GRKKxaor.sK AND WINDOW PLANTS. —The potted plains that are to stand out of doors should have a partly shad ed place, and be provided with a thick layer of coal ashqs, to prevent worms from entering the pots below. The plants in the greenhouse will need shade, and this can be produced by coating the glass with whitewash. Muslin screens will answer in small houses. Water should be freely used, and the houses provided with an abun- Jance of lresh air. Fuchsias will serve to decorate verandas and like places, otherwise they had best remain in the greenhouse. Hanging baskets will need frequent attention, and should be plunged into a tub of water and well -oaked at least twice a week. It is saf er to keep all choice tropical plants in the green house than to run any risk with them out ofdoors. Clear the house of all insects, and make any repairs uecessary, while most of the plants are out. SCARCELY has the warm breath of Summer died away, when Coughs and Uolds, those avant couriers of danger ous disease, show themselves. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup always cures them, iud most Quickly too. FARM AND GARDEN. THKSADDLK VKKSCSTHK Broav.—The memory ot man extendeth to the day when the hoys on the farm were proud to title a fine young horse to church or to see the girls. They took pride in the colts and taught them to move freely under the saddle, and above all, when the colt was broken he was taught to walk. Now the boys must have a fine buggy and harness, an I the colt must show his style aud speed all the time. The boy is in too great a hurry to allow the colt to walk. The colt, buggy and hoy arc soon a used-up set by last driv ing. The whole business of buggy riding by farmers' boys is expensive, extravagant and demoralizing. Not one farmer in ten can attord such a turnout for the lad. Many of them buy a buggy aud let it stand in the sun and storm. They are too poor to have a house for vehicles. Some men cannot afford ttie luxury of a buggy. If we could returu to the fashion of riding 011 horseback we would save millions to the tarniers, and the boys and girls would develop better tonus ami Lave better health. Any lazy lout can ride in a buggy, but to be a graceful rider 011 horseback one must have some ener gy and get up in his nature. There is life and health in riding 011 horseback. The whole system feels the invigora ting effect of it. The rider and the horse catch the tire of sympathy and excitement in the run or tast paces, and every nerve and muscle of the body is brought into bealtlitul invigorating play. I'he mania for trotting horses lias been felt 011 every f irui in the land. The country Is full of road horses that some man or hoy loves to pull the string 011. They are usually jHior saddlers, slow walkers, and rough. We need a reform. The place to begin is iH breed ing a class of horses of good size, style and action, that can move freely in more than one gait. The English market is open for such horses. The well-knit horse of good style and ac tion, suitable for a hunter or a carriage, will bring better prices than our aver age horse. The farmer will find it to ins interest to raise a class of colts that the boys will like to ride. lie can raise three or tour fine saddle colts for what sue buggy and harness will cost and a fair saddle horse will bring more than the average roadster.

Jly blood and kidneys are all right, and 1 am as active as a man of .'lO, "Although I am 72, and I have no doubt it- will do as well for others of my age. It is worth a trial. —(Father.) —Suudoy Altrcurj/. THKCOI.T.— An abundant opportunity for exercise in the fresh, pure air, mi contaminated by stable odors, is an ab solute essential to a healthy develop ment in all young animals, it is not sufficient that the colt be led out at sta ted intervals for exercise, lie needs the opportunity' to romp and play, that he may extend his muscles to the ut most capacity, expand his lungs to the very depths, and send the blood cour sing through every vein with fiery vi gor. All this is essential to a healthy robust development of heart and lungs, and bone and muscle, and nowhere can it be obtained in so great a degree of ]>erfectlon as In the freedom of the open field. A colt that is kept in the stall and fed highly on heating grains, is seldom afforded an opportunity for this health-giving exercise. Line the ten der hot-house plant he grows up defi cient in stamina and vigor—a victim to his artificial surroundings, which do violence to every want of his nature. To the exhilaiating race in the fields and pastures, which colts as well as boys so heartily enjoy, he is a stranger, and he grows up a still", clumsy brute, with only a tithe of the development of lungs and other vital organs that he might have possessed under more favorable circumstances. VALUK OF SWAMP MI CK. —S >me time ago we remarked that an acre o' swamp muck of good quality, 3 feet deep, was actually worth $25,003. No doubt such a statement is surprising. So was the statement of I)r. Lawes, of England, that a ton of bran, fed to cows, returned more than its cost in manure. Swamp muck free from sand, contains 2 per cent., or 40 lbs., ot nitrogen in a ton. Nitrogen is worth in the market 25 cents a pound. So that a ton of swamp muck is actually worth $lO for the ni trogen in it. All that is needed is to work up the muck, so as to make the nitrogen available. An acre of swatnp muck, 3 feet deep, contains 2,500 ton* l , and would require 8 months to draw out, at 10 loads a day. Few persons realize the value of the fertilizing ele ments of common waste matter which lie uuder thci • feet, and the innumer able tons of matter, that may be avail able for fertilizing purposes, and tha much of the idle and neglected materi als represent a vast amount of wealth. CURING FODDER. —The chief draw back wiih the Joddir corn is the diffi culty of properly curing such a heavy crop of succulent green herbage. When it is remembered that thirty tons per acre has been reached, the problem of curing is seen to be an important one. The French system of ensilage may in time come to the rescue and provide a method ot preservation that retains the fodder in its green state; but the introduction of such a system must be slow, and until then the old method of dry preservation must be practiced. The putting together of large quantities of half-cured stalks must be abandoned, as it has been the greatest source of loss to those who have grown fodder corn. The mow should be thoroughly ventilated by shafts pissing up through its centre, and when the fodder is put in stacks, they should be of small size, holdi ig but a few tons, and, better still, pro vided with a shaft, made of a few boards, in t le middle. VKG TINK will regulate the b >wels tc action, by stimulating the se cretions, cleansing and purilying the blood of poisonous humors, and, in a healthful and natural manner, expels all impurities without weakening the body."

DOMESTIC. FISH OK CI.AM CHOWDKU. — Use firm fish, such as fresh cod, oaiilsh, etc. Do not cook the heads; serape, cleanse, and wash the fish. Cat it into small pieces, leaving out as many bones as possible. Cover the bottom of the pot with slices of fat salt iork; place on that a layer of chopped onions; on the onions a layer of potatoes, on the pota toes a layer of toimttoes on the toma toes a layer of tish ; on the fish a layer ol crackers or biscuit, tlrst made tender by soaking in water or milk ; then re peat the process, commencing with potatoes, until the pot Is nearly full. Kvery layer is seasoned with pepper and salt, use only enough cold water to nmlstcn and cook the mass. Cover the pot closely, set it over a gentle lire, let it heat gradually, and simmer one hour. When nearly done, stir it gent ly, finish cooking, and serve. When cooked, if found 100 thin simmer a 1 ti tle longer. The tomatoes may be omit ted. Clam chowder is made as above, using clams instead of fish. A chowder may be made as above by using any fresh meat instead of tish. PUMPKIN PlK.— Cut the pumpkin into thin slices and boil until tender in as little water as possible; watch care fully that it does not scorch ; drain otl' all the water —Mash, and rub through a sieve, adding, while warm, a small piece ot butter. To every quart of the pumpkin, after mashing, add one quart of new milk and four eggs, the 3 oiks and whites beaten separately; white sugar to taste, ami cinnamon and nut meg as desired. The oven in which they are baked must be hot or they will not brown. It is as well to heat the batter scalding hot before pouring into the pie dishes. To RI.KACH. — Into eight quarts of warm water put one pound 01 chloride of lime; stir with a stick a few minutes then strain through a bag of coarse muslin, working it with the hand to dissolve thoroughly. Add to this live buckettuls of wann water, stir it well, and put in tlie muslin; let it reuiiiu in one hour, turning It over occasionally that every part may get thoroughly bleached. When taken out, wash well in two waters to remove the lime, rinse and dry. This quantity will bleach twenty-five yards of yard-wide muslin. This muslin will bleach more evenly ami quickly if it lias been thoroughly wet and dried before bleaching. I.ET 1' be understood on e for all, that CAKBOLINK, a deodorized extract of petroleum, will positively restore hair to bald heads and there is no other pre paration under the face of the sun that :an accomplish this work. SOUK MILK CHICKS K, (SMKAK CASK). — Take some milk, set it on the back ot the stove where It will heat very slow ly; it heated quickly It will curdle; when it wheys sufli •ietitly strain through a colander till as dry as pos sible, then pour the curd into a pan or into the cheese bag, and wash tho roughly with cold water; if It has been heated sufficiently it will not dissolve; tie and hang bag up to drain: when dry add sweet cream enough to make it soft; salt o tast, set it on lee and serve at tea time. If it is scalded too much, or it the inilk is too sour, it will be crumbly and not tit to eat. STUFFED TOMATO KB. —Choose a doz MI large, round tomatoes, cut them off smooth at the stem end; take out the seed and pulp; take a pound of lean steak and two slices of bacon; chop them line with the inside of the toma toes; season with a finely chopped 0111011, fried, a dessert spoonful of salt, half a teaspoonfui of white pepper, as much cayenne pepper as you can take on the end ola knife, and a tablespoou ful of finely chopped parsley; add four rolled crackers, and if too stltt, thin with stock, water, or cold gravy. Fill the tomatoes with this force-meat, packing tight; sitt eracker crumbs ever the top, and bake for an hour in a moderate oven. THK liltie bixes of thin wood which are used to carry butter or lard in,when covered with cambric or silk, make pretty work-boxes. Small peach-bas kets, painted and lined with a bright color, are ornamental and convenient beside affording the sat.sfaction which comes from miking something lrom nothing. NEW I'OTATOKS iia CKKMK. —Select some new potatoes all of the same size—.bout as large as apric >ts. Boil t.iem in salted water; drain them when done, and pour over them a little drawn-butter sauce. These potatoes, when properly cooked and served Very hot, are delicious. KICK W AFKLES. —Beat together a pint of milk, the yolk of three egg, two ounces of butter and half a teacup of thoroughly boiled rice; sprinkle a lit tle salt and half a teaspoonfui of soda into a pint of flour, and then sitt it in. Heat thoroughly and bake in waflle irons. * - CORN FRITTERS. —Take half a dozen large ears of corn, cut from the cob, and mix it up witli two eggs, a cupful of sweet milk, salt and enougli flour to make a soft batter. Drop a table spoonful at a time into boiling hot lard. SOUTHERN FRIED HOMINY. —Warm some boiled lioininy left over from the day before; add to it a tumbler of cream or rieh inllk, a piece of butter, two well beaten eggs and a little flour; .ry in hot butter. BLACK cotton gloves will not crack the hands if scalded in salt and water before wearing. The salt prevents fading. When almost dry one should put them 011, in order to stretch them and keep them in good shape.

Morgan, of New Castle, Lincoln Co., Maine, savs: " Five years ago I was a dreadful sudt-rcr from uterine troubles. Having exhausted the skill of three physicians, 1 was completel., discouraged, and so weak 1 could with difficulty cross the room alone. 1 began taking vour - Favorite Prescription' and using the local treatment recommended In your 'Common Sen** Medical Adviser.' 1 commenced to improve at once. In three months I was perfectly cured, and have had no trouble since. 1 wrote a letter to niv family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had been restored, and ottering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for them and enclosing a stamped envelope for replu. 1 have received over four hunnred letters. In reply, T have described iny ease and the treatment used, ami earnestly advised them to 'do likewise.' From t great tuaiiy I have received second letters of thanks, stating that they had commenced the u c e of Favorite Prescrip tion, sent for the 'Medical Adviser,' and applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were much tK-tter already."
