The colonists in Louisana during the
year 1723 were dragging along slug
gishly and iniserabiy a rieketv sort ot
existence, when, on the 11th of Septem
ber, there burst upon them a tremend
ous hurricane, which lasted three
days. The church, the hospitals and
thirty houses in the modest little ham
let ol New Orleans were prostrated by
ihe wind. Three ships that were in
port were completly wrecked, the crops
were destroyed, very few ot the edifi
ces on tho embryo larnis ol the colony
could withstand the fury of the hurri
cane, and were swept away itke eh all
or autumn ICHVCS. The desolation was
so widely spread and-so intensely felt
that that the first impulse of the peo
ple in ihtir despair was to quit the
colony for ever; and no doubt they
would have exvCuted their design U
they could have procured means of
transportation. A company of infantry
that had embarked at Biloxi tor New
Orleans LTailtd themselves ol this fa
vorable oppoitunity lor escape, took
possession of the ve-sel aud loreed her
captain to sail for Charleston, where
they landed safely with their arms and
baggage. On the 25th of February,
1741, Beauch&mp, the French comman
der at Mobile, gave in a dispatch to his
Goverment the description of a dread
ful hurricane which began on the 11th
of September, 1740, and which pro
duced very extensive disasters in what
was then called the Colony of Louisi
ana. "The hurricane," he said "was
BO violent that here (Mobile) it blew
down several houses, and among others
the edifice which Mr. Bizeton had con
structed, not only as a store, but as
a house of refuge for sailors. Unfor
tunately it contained all the flour and
provisions destined for the subsistence
of the garrison, I was obliged to send
the garrison a fishing along the coast
for the barrels which had been thrown
Into the water and part of which were
staved In. Without this barrel-fishing
we should have run the risk of dying
of hunger, as our resources were limi
ted to six or eight barrels of-dour
which were in the fort.. "The wind
wk so furious that if it had continued
forty-eight hours, as all hurricanes
generally do, we should have been in
undated. Fortunately it blew only
twelve hours, but with such force that
half of Dauphine Island was carried
aw*y, and more than three hundred
head of cattle were drowned on the
island. We have lost a greater num
ber ol them on this coast aud at Pasca
goula. This loss is severely ielt by the
poor population of this section of the
country. The effect produced by the
force of the wind is almost incredible.
There was lying betore the guard
house of Daupbine island a cannon of
lour pound caliber. The wind trans
ported it eighteen feet from where it
was. This tact is sworn to by all tlie
Inhabitants of the island. Tnls hurri
cane, which lasted twelve hours, began
in the night of the 11th of September,
and ceased on that day at t.o >n. But al
though its duration was not long, it
caused uiuoh damage. Toeap the climax
there came another hurricane on the
ISth of the same month, which de
stroyed the rest of our resources. This
wind, which blew from the north
northeast, and which was accompanied
by heavy rain, caused an overflowing
of all the rivers from Carolina to this
place. The first hurricane was frotu
cast-southeast. Luckily these hurri
canes did not pass over New Orleans
aud the adjacent country, where all
the crops have turned out to be pretty
abundant. Otherwise the whole col- 1
ony would have been in a frightful
condition for the w ant of provisions.
Divine lor Flah.
Every time that a steamer anchors at
Aden numbers of little boys swim
round the vessel, and dive for the coin
pitched to them in the water by the
passengers. Their skill is undoubtedly
great, but the fishermen of the Nico
bars, and a few ammg the Sea Dyaks
of Borneo, are reputed the most skil
ful swimmeis in the world. The men
of the Nicobars capture fish by the hand.
They glide about in their ligct skiffs,
intently watching the translucent
water; when they obtain a favorable
opportunity, tbev take a sudden dive
straigth down upon their finny prey.
The fish are generally so startled that
they dart hither and thither, now up
and now down, without continuing
their swift movements in any one given
direction. The diver has therefore lit
tle difficulty in coming within arm's
length of them. Ii is however, esteem
ed to be but a poor feat to seize and
bring up one fish. A man 3hould be
able to catch simultaneously two fish
-one in each hand. This Is frequently
done, and the best swimmers think
nothing of it. If a man wishes to show
818 prowess in the water, he chases and
kills a shark, often twice as long as
himself. To many of the fishermen of
the coast of Nether India, shark-hunt
ing in water is somewhat like what
fox-hunting is in England.
Curious Facts About Tools.
When we study the construction of
our most important instruments we
discover to our astonishment that the
latter are true coDies ct' some parts of
our body, and simply a further com
pletion of them. In the first stone ham
mer man has unknowingly imitated
his forearm with closed fist; in the
shovel and spoon we see the forearm
and hollowed hand ; in the saw we find
a reproduction of a row of teeth ; tongs
represent the closing together of thumb
and fingers; in the hook is a bent fin
ger reproduced; the pencil is simply a
prolongation of the fore finger; so, we
*e in all instruments, from the sim
plest to the most complicated, only an
improvement and completion of the
human organs; and thus we find that
all the iuventional thoughts of men
are directed towards the same aim as
that towaid whioh organio develop
ment tends.
AGRICULTURE.
MANAGEMENT OF PAIHY STOCK. —The
common cows of tho country are trea
ted unfairly by writers on cattle gen
erally. Epithets designed to reflect
severely and unjustly,ate used by those
who ought to be honest with the cows
that supplied them in Infancy with a
good and generous supply of mils,
cream and butter. The truth is that
the so-called scrub dunghill are grades,
and very frequently grades from an
cestors of right royal blood. In fact,
theic would be fewer scrubs if the
general cow was treated better- -housed
betb r,fed l etter,handled better. These
aiejelcmonts which lte.lpgr a 1> t nnake
up the good and profitable dairy stock
for cheese, butter or milk prod ictlou.
If we depend upon the common stock
we must weed out the weedy and only
cherish and keep the best. A good
cow of any herd or breed ought to
pay a fair interest on her cost ami
keeping; otherwise she should be dis
charged—should be sent to the butcher.
Where the dairy stock is raised —and
this is the quikest and surest way to
create, improve and perfect a dairy—
only good cows calves should be rais
ed, and the sire of calves should he a
sou and grand-son of good cows. The
law ol selection is potential In results.
By this plan we have seen dairies of
great excellence froot common stock.
Common stock Is, in such a relation,
hardly lair to tho improved herd, tor
indeed, it' we have been thorough,
every cow in the dairy should be an
uncommonly good annual.
MANURES FOR DIFFERENT LANDS
The course manures should generally
be applied to the heavy clays, especial
ly ll vegetable matter is lacking Their
fermentation in the soil disintegrates
it, and promotes fertility. Usually
clay soil has abundance of plant food,
but not in available shape for crops.
Hence something to bring out what is
in the soil is needed. "Concentrated
and mineral manure are best adapted
to cold and mucky land. Here there
is plenty of vegetable mould, but
it is not active. Great manures are
best adapted to sandy or gravely soils.
Here vegetable matter is always defi
cient. Some sands and gravels are
lacking in other respects also, and in
such cases tho land is worth little for
tarin uses. On the land a sand, or
better still a gravel that has plen y ol
lime, potash and phosphates, is the
very best land to work because it is
always dry, warm and quick; and if it
has a somewhat heavier subsoil, it has
the ability to endure an unfavorable
season better than any other. The
best test of a sand or gravel soil as to
fertility is to observe the clover catch
and growth. If a tanner can get a
good clover catch every year on sand
or gravel, he lias the un aus in his own
haul of making it as rich as he wants
it.
IN the older pastures, blackberry
bushes have in many localities become
a troublesome pest, and to eradicate
th-m i generally a matter of very tin
successful effort. An old farmer, who
lias had liis share of bother and defeat,
has found a sure remedy, During the
winter he mows them down, and it
c nveuient, runs a fie id roller over
them to smash them down. Between
the cutting and a ury spell in the ear
ly spring, they will accumulate a con
siderable quantity of leaves and grass
which together witn the stalks w ill
make a furious tiro. As 6<>ou as the
new shouts make their appearance,turn
in ati ek of sheep, and as the Drier
shoots will be exceedingly tender, the
sheep will devour them as fast as they
appear, and the continued eating by
the sheep w ill eravlicato them in one
seasou.
COOKED MKAT FOR FOWLS. — FowIs
as w eil at-dogs become quarrel some
it led on raw meat. Besides, cooking
makes it more nuirftl us. When raw
it is rather harsh and crude, compared
with-the mi. d, natural diet of woinis
aud grubs, whieh ate for the most part
soft and easily dissolved by digestion.
Occasionally, for Yarieiy, a little meat
may be given raw. Fish, w hen plenty
is more conveniently given boiled,
because in that state the iowls easily
pick every morsel from ihe bones, an
no mincing i 3 required. Cadndlers'
scraps have tlie aovantage of being
already cocked, and on that account,
as well as many others, they are ex
cellent.
LIVE STOCK. — A little extra feed
brings cattle and horses to the begin
ning of winter in good order. The
tops of carrots, beets and turnips may
be led to good advantage, and there is
a great deal of sweetness in the Octo
ber pasturage. Where much com is
planted, there will always be eoft ears
and "nubbins" which are best led to
horses and pigs.
The Indian Ho)* at Hampton School.
When they first uegan to make. beds,
the elieets were either tucked up under
the pillows or laid on the outside. One
boy was found to have seven sheets,
who did not know the proper use 01
two. The janitor helped me carry a
bedstead into the sitting-room. The
boys were called in and seated in a
semi-circle, and I began the process of
bed-making, the bays grunting and
laughing as it proceeded. When the
clothes were neatly tucked in and the
pillows shaken and put into place, 1
-aid: "Now, boys, I will show you
how to get iuto bed," which I did.
Then, through the interpreter, 1 asked
who was willing to try it, lie had
hardly put the question when a boy
who had objected to having his hair
cut, when he first came, stepped for
ward. lie began where I did and fol
lowed every moment, so closely had ha
observed. No sooner did he finish than
there was a stunning applause. He was
then asked to show us how to go to bed,
and when his head touched the pillow
and he drew the clothing up round
him, up went another shout.
An Honest OfflciHl.
"A bribe!"exclaimed the honest offi
cial, starting back, as though stung.
" A ber-i ibe! and to me! Good gracious
man ! do I look like a man to trifle
with my trust! You have grossly In
sulted me, and I despise you and your
venal offer! Stay, one moment," he
added, as the timid tourist, alarmed at
the storm of indignation he had evoked
was hastily taking himself oft In a very
"sorry-that-l-spoke" kind of mood,
"stay a moment. Don't be in quite
such a hurry. Look here!" —anl so
saying, the honest official lowered his
viee aud drew nearer to his tempter- -
"suppose, now, I was such a man as
you took me to he, what would you be
ready to stand ?

f MEPICAL USES OF EGOS.— For burns
and scalds there is nothing more sooth-
Ing than the white of an egg, which
may lie poured over the wound. It is
softer as a varnish lor a nurn than col
lodion, and being always on hand can
be applied immediately. It Is aisomure
cooling i ban tho "sweet oil of cotton"
which was formerly supposed to be the
surest application to allay the smarting
pain. It is the contact with the nit
which gives the extreme discomfort
experienced from ordinary accidents
of this kind; and anything which ex
cludes air ai\d prevents inflammation
is the thing to be at once applied. The
egg Is also considered one ol the heat
renic lies for dysentery. Beaten tip
lightly, with or without sugar, and
swallowed at a gulp, it tends by its
cmolient qualitie- to lessen the inflam
mation ol the stomach and intestines,
and by forming a transient coating on
these organs to enable nature to assume
her healthful sway over the diseased
body. Two, or at most, three, eggs per
day would be all that would be required
inordinary cases, and since the egg is
not merely medicine, but food as well,
the lighter flie diet otherwise, and the
quieter the patient is kept, the more
certain and rapid is the recovery.
To RENOVATE M EN'S CLOT msa.—My

so faded as to be scarcely fit to wear.
I took some benzine and cleaned the col

ened the coat thoroughly with water,
into which I ttad previously dissolved
a tablespoon!ul of copperas, and then
1 dipped a dark woolen cloth into a dye
made by dissolving about five cent
worth ot extract of logwood, taking
cre to put it on evenly and not wet
the coat through: then after drying, 1
washed it thoroughly with soapsuds by
dipping a eloth in it and rubbing so a
to get the dye 03, so that it would not
blacken; then b> adding a new bind
ing and button, the coat looked nearly
as well as new.

eggs, and tour spoonfuls of sugar.
Brown In a quick oven. This is a nice
substitute for jelly cake.
TURNIP Morr.—This soup should be
made, ail but adding the turnips, the
day before it is required. Stew a
knuckle of veal with an onion and a
bunch of sweet herbs in six quarts o:
water; cover closely and stew gently
Ave or six hours; put in a cool place;
the n xt day remove the grease, lat and
sedimeut; cut five or six turnips into

ANTS.— Red ants may he banished
from a pantry or store-room by shew
ing the soelves with a smail quantity
of cloves, ei her whole or ground. We
use the former, as not being so likely
to get into the food placed upon the
shelves. The cloves should be re
newed occasionally, as after a tiun
they loe their strength and efficacy.
STAINS. — Remove ink stains from
carpets with milk, and atterwurd wash
witli line soap, a ch an brush, and
warm water. For grease spots use
powderod magnesia, tuller's earth, or

A ft ire Pharmaceutical Pr oduct.—A
specimen ot the essential oil of aloes
has recently been exhibited to the
Medioo-Chirurglcal Society of Edin
burgh. This oil is described as a pale
yellow, mobile liquid, speciAc gravity
e.836, and boils at from 266 to 271 tle
g i6i G'., and though to it.> pre erne the
odor of aloes is due, it exists in euch
quantities that only about two Auid
iirachms are obtainable from 600
pounds of aloes. In taste and* smell
the article resembles the oil of pepper

however, being only about 19 ) ilegrecg,
