It is often important for those who
are not experienced Judges by the eye
to have some mea-is besides the stales
of ascertaining .the weight ot cattle ;
while living, and by following these !
approved directions this can be done '
within a mere trifle, i
Take a string, put it around the '
breast, stand square just behind the
shoulder blade ; measure on a foot
rule the feet and inches the animal is 1
in circumlerence ; this is called the
giith; then whh the string measure
Irotn the boneof the tale which plumbs
the line with the hinder part of the (
buttock ; direct the line along the back : t
to the fore pait of the shoulder blade ; Yf? H ft!
take tne dimensions on Hie foot rule 4 M 4-4 P h
as before, which is the lengtli ; ami
work the figures in the following man-;
ner: Uirth of the bullock, say six feet '
four inches; lengtli five feet three
inches ; which multiplied together ;
make 31 square superficial feet; audi
that multiplied by 23 (the number of,
pounds allowed to each superficial
foot of cattle measii'ing less than
seven and more than five feet in girth),
making 1 13 pounds Wheie the am-j
mal measures less than nine and more j
than seven in girth, 31 is the number ;
of po inds hi each superficial foot !
Again suppose a pig or any small ,
boast should measure two feet iu girth,
and two along the back which mr.lti- j
plied together, make four square feet;
that multiplied by 11, the number of
I ounds allowed each square foot of
cattle measuring less than three feet in (
girth, makes 44 pounds. Again sup
pose a call, a sheep, Ac., should meas- ;
lire four feet six inches in girth, and '
three leet nine inches in lengtli, which .
multiplied together make K. square 1
feet; that multiplied by 1 tithe number
of pounds allowed to all cattle meas- ;
uiing Less than five feet and more than '
three in girth, makes 5C. pounds, i
The dimensions of the girth and !
length of back in cattle, sheep, calves,
or hogs may be as exaetlj' taken this
way as it is at all necessity for any
computation or any valuation of stock,
and will answer exactly to the four
quarters, sinking the dial, a sum ,
which every man who can get even a ;
bit of chalk can easily figure. Jiural .

Ti from Early Britain. The j
amount of tin required in ancient i
times, when Egypt, (j! recce and Italy ,
were, one after another, in the full '
glow of their prosperity, must have
been great. During preceding times ,
durinjx what is called the bronze age
we may pass over all inquiry about .
the use of it, as bronze was then con - t
fined, probably, to the making of small ;
ornaments or weapons for the chase of
war. But when, not to speak of all j
kinds of vessels for domestic use, larger
works were undertaken, ranging in !
size from the Colossus of llhodes
down to a statuette for a banqueting I
room, and in number reaching to the ',
extraordinary amount of 3,UU0 statues :
in more than one single town in Greece, i
the demand for tin must have, been ;
enormous, for, as Mr. Fortnum tells i j
in bis excellent introduction to the j
catalogue of bronzes in the South
Kensington museum, "the general re
sult of analyses of several examples of
(jSreek and Ko.nan bronze has shown a i
composition of or HO parts of copper
to 12 or 10 of tin." There
Keenis to be little doubt that the chief
district whence the l'hcenicians got
their'tin in IJiitian, la' in the neigh
borhood of Mount's bay, in the country
between Truro and the Land's End.
From a well known passage in Strabo
it would seem that the tin in his time
after being melted and refined, was
carried to St. Michael's Mount, there
to be purchased by the foreign mer
chants, who then carried it to the
neighboring continent-and conveyed
it "across (.Jaul for about 30 days to
the outlet of the river llhonc." The

Preparatory to tearing down and rebuilding his

What a Hoy Did. The steam-engine
had now assumed a form that
pornewhat resembles the modern ma
chine. An important ilefect still ex
isted in the necessity of keeping an at
tendant by the engine to open and
6hut the cocks. A bright boy, how
erer Humphrey I'ottcr to whom
was assigned this duty on a Xcwcora
en engine in 18.'!, contrived what he
calletl a xcoggan a catch rigged with
a cord from the beam overhead
which performed the work for him.
lhc boy, tli us making the operation!
ot the valve-gear automatic, increased
the speed of the engine to 15 or 10
strokes a minute, and gave it a regu
larity and certainty of action that
could only be obtained by such an ad
justmentof its valves. This ingenious
young mechanic afterwards became a
skilful workman and an excellent en
gineer, and went abroad on the Conti
nent, where he erected several line
engines. Potter's rude valve gear was
noon improved by Henry Beighton,
and the new device was applied to an
engine which that talented engineer
erected at Newcastle on-Tync in 1&18,
in which engine he substituted sub
stantial materials for Potter's im me
chanical arrangement of cords. I'op

Hints to Young House-Keepers.
After the regular fall cleaning is
done, you will want to polish up you.
lurniture. IJather than Use furniture
polishes, you will get more satisfaction
if you will .wash oil' the articles you
wish to clean with a sponge dipped in
cold water; then rub dry with a solt
flannel cloth, afier which polish with a
liiiie imsccu on not ooiieti; on a rag,
rubbing otf well afterward with a sott '
cloth. Tlie white spots caused bv
dropping cologne may be removed by j
touching them with a cloth wet with '
cologne or alcohol, and immediately ,
after with the linseed oil. We would j
advise you not to clean all your furiii- J
ture at once, and so tire yourself out, !
but to do one or two pieces each day. j
It is very laborious work, and unless j
you limit yourselves (that is if you j
undertake "to do it without help) you !
will be tempted to do more than you ;
can accomplish well, r.nd more than !
your strength will permit; and you j
have no more right to waste 3'our
stiength tnan your substance. j
If 3 our window panes have stubborn
spots of paint on thorn which annoy j
you, and which you have not been able ;
to remove, take a nickel nennv. lav it i
flat on the glass, and rub theoirending
spots; and they will quickly disappear.
If the glass is much spotted, this too
can be done gradually. A few mo
ments each morning devoted to this
purpose will soon leave your windows
clear and bright.

In France it is the custom for the
young folks to put their shoes in the
chimney on Christmas Eve, ready for
the Kood things which Santa Klaus
will bring them. Last Christmas Eve.
at a gentleman's house, just befoic go
ing to bed all the young people pulled
off their shoes and carefully deposited
them in the fireplace. A pet dog who
had been quietly watching the pro
ceedings, as soon as the shwes were all
placed, wriggled himself out of his
collar, and, taking it up in Ids mouth,
went and laid it down beside the shoes,
and then departed, looking upon his
part of the performance with evident
satisfaction.

tree called the butter nut tree is found j
on the banks of the Niger, in Africa. I
From it excellent butter is obtained.
The fruit somewhat resembles the '
Spanish olive. The kernel of tlie !
fruit is boiled, and the butter thus oh-!
tained is said to be 'vhiter, lirmer, and !
of a richer flavor than is that from a I
cow, besides which it will keep a year
without salt.
