A10i TGA GE SKELETON. The Kansas Farmer contains some g ml advice- to farrnurs, as follows: Before you moi-tigo the homestead, think twice. The speculation contem plated may stem tempting; it mar promise an almost certain large return, but go slov on placing your homtead, which shelters the wife ami little ones, in the hands ot another for the hope of gaining a few extra dollars in a trade, or the purchase of more land. Watch the friend and neighbor who has done this thing, expecting to meet the prin cipal and interest with the returns of certain crops that did not yield as he counted on ; see him with his haggard, care-worn face, forcing a faint smile to meet your friendly salutation. If you couldlook through the alls and watch the sleepless man as lie vaiidy tries 1o shut out the trouble of uii overdue mortgage: if you could see the worry . aid anxious study, after the specula tions failed upon which the mortgage had been based; if you could 9ee the troubles these visions of homeless little ones brin;; if you could thoroughly j realize that not one time in twenty are j these mortgages anything else than a curse to a man, day ami mgut, you would let the new machinery, the ad joining one hundred and sixty teres, tiie new improvements, remain until they could be paid for without a mortgage. It all looks bright and fail before the mortgage is made, and it seems almo-t impossible to see a single reason against placing the mortgage on the faun, when it is so slight com pared with the value of the farm. The future returns are to be counted on with so much certainty, and then the cue, two, and three years' time, what ever it may be, for its payment, looks to be a long way off so far indeed, that there is a confidence that the amount can be made up, it is thought, from a half a dozen sources. After the loan is made, time rushes along with increased speed, and there arises difficulties in securing even the annual interest and taxes that were not contemplated. As the time draws near for the payment of the principal, everything seems tc conspire to make the payment impossible. Everybody wants every dollar due them ; nobody pays who owes, the bottom falls out ot the markets, down gees the price of land, and everything else he has to Bell. Instead of paying the principal, a renewal is asked for, and property is often sacrificed to meet even the in terest, besides untold loss of time and strength given to worry. This is not all thai cornea with a mortgage. Neighbors and friends be gin to shake their Leads wisely, like owls, and talk over the affairs and I credit and character of the mortgaged man, and although his integrity and ; honesty may be without a blemish, his ; failure to pay brings him under a cloud, and his every actjs liable to misconstruction. I improvements which ; were to advance the interests of the neighborhood Iwome, in the changed i and altered circumstances of the man, foolish and dishonest speculations, in the light of his failure. Acquaintances ; who would h ive applauded had he j succeeded, siiL-cr with contempt at a failure that may have almost reached ' the door of success. The small mort gage of $500 or $1,000 has often been, at the end of five years, with its accu mulated inteiest, taxes, and consequent losses, the load which has sunk the farm and the farmer, and so broken him in health, enterprise, and spirit that he went to his premature grave a poor man, giving to his family only the inheritance of a broken, embittered life. "What is true of mortgages on farms is equally so in all other bust ness callings, with this d inference, that the number of failurts ami mortgaged men are largely increased. All over the land this curse and dreaded skele ton of debt finds a place in three fourths of all our homes. XV v say to our readers, who aie largely farmers, if there is no mortgage on the home stead, keep it free.

Jolin Michels, a correspondent of the Scientific American tells of an interesting instance of ji strange maU formation in the bead of a fowl which has been exhibited alive at the New York Aquniium, and as Professor Fr. Stt-ngel, of Columbia College, vouches for its authenticity, it may be presumed to be a genuine specimen. The illustration (given by the Sci enfijic American) will convey an ex cellent conception of the peculiarities of the fowl in question, which is said to have a monkey's face. The ordi nary beak of a bird is absent, and the nose and lips of an animal are fully developed. The nose appears to formed bv i an extension of the comb, which at the point of junction suddenly changes from a bright red to a pale flesh-like color; the lips, which are large and protuding having the same hue. IJoth lips aid nose are foimod of a moderately hard cartilagcnous sub stance, having a smooth surface, the nostrils being very similar to those observed in many species of monkeys. The tongue is also modified in form, rounded at the point, and having un usual lower of lateral motion. With the exceptions I have named, or shown in the illustration, the general appearance of the specimen is normal, and indicative o( its being of the Cochin China breed. We have doubtless here an interest ing secimen of one of those strongly marked and abrupt deviations of structure which occasionally occur without any apparent cause. Such cases are rare with birds in a state of nature, but happen with greater frequency with those which have be come domesticated. This monstrosity probably arose from an arrest of development rather than arrest of growth, and is doubtless capable of leing transmitted. Breed ers tnke advantage of such freaks of nature to produce what is called a variety. Speaking generally, it is conceded that changed conditions and external influences produce variation from type, and considerable effect upon organisms of all kinds. There are, however, instances in which decided variation arises without any apparent exciting cause, and Dar win with his usual caution "provision ally" calls it "spontaneous;" he at tributes such variations, whether con sisting of slight individual differences or of more strongly marked deviations of structure, as depending much more on the constitution of the organism than on the nature of the conditions to which it has been subjected. A Of.vf.va wntrhmaker has just completed a "full-sized hunter," which is said tn 1)0 the most complex and wonderful piece of mechanism of the kind ever produced in that citv.. On one side i.s a dial with the ordinary marking hour, minute, and second hands together w ith a large independ ent chronographic hand in the centre, making the one-fifth of a second and flying lee XII ; and to this dial cor- ' responds a repeating mechanism, strik ing hours, quarters, ami minutes. If the watch is turned over, a second dial m perceived, having, besides the ordi nary marking, a perpetual calender months, dtys of the week, date and places of the iroon and nlso a little regulator for the timi.ig. This watch ; can keep two ditfcrei.t time, for in-! stance, Paris on one side and London ! o i the other, while there is only one k.ioh on the stem for setting both dials to lime without the addition of a pusher on the rim of tiie case. Tin mechanism for setting the hands to time actuates only the finger of the dial that is uppermost at the moment. Cure of Diphtheria. A Bridge port (Conn.) physician sends to the Standard the following : "Our advice to parents for this is mostly a dis ease of childhood protect the feet, legs and bodies of your children well, by suitable clothing. line them plain, substantial food, plenty of rest, with fresh air and sunshine." Discard late hours and pxc-itinsr amusements and too hot rooms. If your child takes cold keep it at home in a pleasantly-warmed room, and admit sun light freely. If with the cold there is some sore throat, use simple remedies to promote perspiration and a water compress about the throat. In the meantime keep a vigilant watch of the throat, and upon the first appearance ot white or gray patches send for your physician. Do" not put it off to see if it will get well itself. Twelve hours may decide the fate of your child prompt, thorough, efficient medication at this stage of the disease will rarelv fail of success ; later, the system may be too depressed to respond to any remedies."
