LEANING TOWEKS.
0T IMPORTANT ONKS AND THE
USE OK Til El It INCLINATION.
riter in the JiuilHy Worhl, wri
: leaning tower and spires, says :
. ! ! ost remaikahle examples of these
ires are found in Italy. Every
: familiar with the general appear-
f the Campanile at Pisa, which is
vary belfry, just, behind the calhe
It was erected somewhere about
". : , i. of granite ami marble, and is 1ST
1 height, but leaning actually more
: u.urtccn leet out of the perpend ic-
: r It is composed of eight separate
u.n-s, and forms a cylinder, surround
d near the ground with a wall, and
vitli half columns and arches. On each
ier above this we have arches, leaving
-pen galleries l-etween them and the
ylindrical body. Three of the stories
ueline etpually with the ground story,
.vhere the lowest rows of pillars are
sunk Into the earth ; the fourth story is
but little rectified ; the fifth and sixth
are in one line, but inclined at an angle
to the work below; the seventh is very
nearly erect. The tower is mounted by
:l.V stairs, which are remarkably disloca
ted, and give one the sort of feeling of
walKing on t lie ladder of a ship in a
rolling sea. In fact, the whole inclina
tion of the tower has been caused by a
Tettlenient of the foundations in the
;oft soil, In which water-springs occur
everywhere, at the depth of six or eight
feet. That this has ben the cause is
evident, not only from the fact that the
Observatory, intho next street, has also
declined from the perpendicular, as well
as a neighlKiring belfry, but we have
also a sort of record of the alteration,
for there are fresooes on the wall of the
Campo Santo, a neighboring cemetery,
which were executed about the year
l:i0, and which give a representation of
the well-known tower, but a perfectly
upright iosition. So that it appears to
be quite clear that the inclination has
taken place gradually since that date, by
the erosion of the ground through the
s-.tion of springs and the consequent
.settlement of the structure.
Equally remarkable for their great in
clination from the perpendicular are the
two watch-towers of I'ologna. They
were probably erected by private fami
lies for purposes of defence. One of
them, the Torre degli Asinelli, is a very
slender tower, more than :ih) feet high,
coiniwsed of work of different eriods,
though lx'.min probably about llo.. It
is ascended by 7n) .steps, and leans out
from the. base as much as three feet two
inches according to a measurement ta
1 en many years ago. It does not seem
to have been injuriously affected by the
great earthquake, but to have settled
into its present state soon after its erec
tion. The other, the Torre deprli Ciari- j
sendi, is only IP) feet in height, but
leans six and a half feet towards the
south and one ami a half feet to the
east. It is a thicker tower, and the fact
of its settlement is proved by the incli
nation of the courses of bricks and the
position of the holes for the timbers of
ihe lloors. A few feet at the top of the
tower, like the top story of Ihe Pisa
tower, are quite erect, anil were proba
bly added at a later ieriod, after a fall
of the upper iortioii had occurred.
Saragossa, in Spain, gives us another
instance of these isolated and leaning
belfries. The Torre Xuevo w as erected
in 15'.!, of brick, and is ascended by 2'
s'.eiis. It leans over considerably to
wards the church, which is on the oppo
site side of the street. In this case it
has l eii supposed that the foundations
sank during its erection, and that the
architect carried on his work, counter
balancing the weaker side in order to
give it due stability.
I'esides the alove-mcntioned cases
there are many others on the Continent
as, for example, the belfry of St. Mary
Til-crnica, at Venice, at llevenna, and
others U-twren Ferrare ana Venice,
most of them being isolated bell-towers
connected with cathedrals, like the
Domstoten at Utrecht, which is the bel-
fry for the Domskerk. In fact, we may !
say that there are very few buildings j
indeed of any antiquity, in any part of
the world, which do not lean otit of the I
leri'ndicu!ar, if they are sufficiently J
lofty to depress the foundation by their
weight, and to make it manifest to the j
eye by their height or slender propor- j
tions. The monument in London is a
case in point, for it is by no means quite i
erect; and many other towers and spires I
in England, and especially in Norfolk J
and Suffolk, will be found to be more or j
less inclined from the upright iosilion.
"We will give some examples which wo i
have coine across in our travels. j
Some instances are evidently cases of
settlement. Thus, if we stand beneath
the spire of Salisbury Cathedral, we
shall notice that the pillars near the en
trance to the choir have been bent by
the weight of the masonry, and are now
propid by inverted arches of lifteenth
century work, and of great elegance.
In fact, the spire here was an addition
not contemplated by the original archi
tect, and its weight has lx nt the two
western piers twenty-three inches out of
the perpendicular. No further settle
ment lias, however, been detected dur
ing the last -JMO years, when the test of
the plumb-line was repeated in ls-V.
The Temple Church at Eristol, near the.
railway station, has its tower separated
from the church, and leaning, from a
similar settlement, nearly four feel out
of the perpendicular. Other instances
of settlement and leaning of the tower
occur in Spaldinjr, Surfleet, and Weston,
in me Lincolnshire reus, and at
Ik-er
Ilackett, in Dorsetshire. The latter
tower is seen from the railway, near
Yetminster station ; but we understand
that the church is soon to be restored, j
and the tower re-erected. j
In some cases it is said that the incli- :
nation of the building has been produced j
by lightning. Under this head we may '
mention the steeple of f; las-row Cat he- !
Oral, which was struck In 17-Y7, and that !
of Einthwaite in Yorkshire, struck in j
IS'm. It is remarkable that some of the j
many crwketed pinnacles which adorn
All Souls' College, in Oxford, are bent
away, and this is said to le due to the ;
passage of electricity dow n them, which '
has twisted them out of their original
position. j
Not a few instances occur where the
deflection of the soire has been produced
by the warping of unseasonable timber, j
."is is the case; at Lowestoft. lint the
most remarkable example ot this kind, !
and the most striking case in England j
of a leaning spiie, is that of Chesterfield. '
The structure is 2V)feet high, and leans
six feet towards the south and four and i
a half towards the west. In a paper '
read before the Institute of Eritish j
Architects in ls.Vi, we are told that the
timber had evidently lieen used in green
state, and that the oak planks support
ing the framework of the spire were
much decayed in consequence on one
side (probably the southwest or rainv
side), and that the sun had thus warped
tire timber and made the spire crooked.
There is, indeed, a legend among the
tow n.ieople to account for the distort ion.
Several towers owe their leaning pro
jiensities to the effect of accidents.
Thus, the tower of Caeiphillv Castle, in
Glamorganshire, built al-out 1J, i,
only seventy feet high, ami set is eleven
feet out of the erendicular. This was
occasioned by the explosion of hot metal
in water at the siege in l:-V3i, and it is a
remarkable instance of the care and
skill with which both architects and
builders in those days did their work,
for the tower is now kept from falling
altogether, not so much by the stability
of its base, as by the wonderful strength
of the cement used, which has made it
like a mass of solid stone. Eridgnorth
Castle, in Shropshire, and Corfe Castle,
in Dorsetshire, are similar examples
produced by the explosions of gunpow
der during sieges in the civil wars.

BREAD-MAKIXW IN SPAIN.
The bread in the south of Spain is de
licious ; it is as white as snow, close as
cake, ami yet very light ; the Hour is
most admirable, for the wheat is good
anil pure, and the bread well kneaded.
The way they make this bread is as fol
lows : From large, long panniers filled
with wheat, they take out a handful at
a time, sorting it most carefully and ex
leditiou.sIy, and throwing every defec
tive grain into another basket. Tins
done, the wheat is ground between two
circular stones, a.s it was ground in
Egypt two thousand years ago ; the
requisite rotary motion being given by a
blind-folded mule, which passes around
and around wi'.li untiring patience, a
bell being attached to his neck, which,
as long as he is in movement tinkles on ;
and when "t stops he is urged to his duty
by the shout of "arra inula' from some
one within hearing. When ground, the
wheat is sifted through three seives, the
last of these being so tine that only the
pure 1'our can pass throtnrh it : this is
of a pale apricot color. The bread is
made in the evening. It is mixed with
sufficient water, with a little salt in it, to
make into dough ; a very small quantity
of leaven or yeast in one batch of house
hold bread, as in Spain, would last a
week for the six or eight donkey loads
of bread they send every day from their
oven. The dough made, it is put into
sacks and carried on the donkeys' backs
to the oven in the centre of the village,
to bake it immediately after kneading.
j On arriving there the dough is divided
into portions weighing three jtounds
apiece. Two long, narrow wooden ta
bles on tressels are then placed down
the room, and a curious sight may be
seen. About twenty men, bakers, come
in and range themselves on one side of
the table. A lump of dough is handed
to the nearest, which lie begins knead
ing and knocking about with all his
might for alout three or four minutes,
and then passes it 011 to his neighbor,
who does the same, and so on snecess-
j ively until all have kneaded it, when it
I Incomes as soft as new putty and ready
1 tor tlie oven, t if course, as soon as the
first b-tker has handed the first lump to
his neighbor, another lump is given to

Tiir TrnxiP Chop. There is no
crop that the farmer puts in the ground
that pays him lietter than the turnip.
"We are aware that with some iersons it
is looked uion as of little account ; but
it has never received the consideration
to which it is really entitled : and those
who turn up their noses at it are not
genuine farmers. It is a crop moreover
that is put in at a time w hen the hurrjT
:ng work of the season is over ; when it
occupies ground that has already been
used for something else. Tlfe cultiva
i lion, also,
' of tumilS
tion, also, say of from one or two acres
involves comparatively little
labor. The crop, too, is harvested in
November, when there is almost no oth
er labor on the farm to interfere with it.
As to the variety of seed to sow, we
lielieve there is no turnip equal to the
I'm pie-top. A top-dressing of bone
manure is almost indis(ensible to an
abundant crop. For early crop take the
Early Flat Dutch and sow broadcast,
ami now is the time. The Purple-top
for the regular farm crop. This should
le sowed in drills thirty feet apart, and
when the turnips are the size of a liie.k-ory-nut,
thin out to eight or ten inches
apart in the row. They very seldom fail
in affording a satisfactory crop. The
crop can lie put in the first half of Aug
ust. Where laud is a little short, sow
among the corn at the last working.
They will not interfere in the least with
that crop, generally, and very little w hen
it is harvested.
lie sure always to procure seed fiom
established seed-houses of reputation,
and use that grown here instead of in

To chimp the hair take a little gum
arabic and put it into just enough boil
inji water to dissolve it. When dissolved
add euongh alcohol to make it somewhat
thin. Jct this stand all niglit, and then
bottle it to prevent the alcohol from
evaporating. When wishing to "do"
the hair for the night, damp it with this
mixture, and the result will be, next
day, stiflly crimied or curled hair, which
will not "come out" on damp or hot
days, as is usual with hair crimped or

-Mr. Benedict's Remarkable and
Valuable IHscoTery.
It lias always lteon easy for house
wives who are troubled with rats to poi

They have usually prefeired to retire to
their inaccessible retreats in the walls
as soon as they felt the symptoms of ar
senical poisoning, and the low state of
sanitary silence prevailing in theircom
munities is such that poisoned nits are
never properly buried or incineiated by
their associates. The problem has been
how to kill the rats without bringing
unpleasant odors in the house.
Mrs. IJenertict has solved the difficulty
and is entitled to the honor we give to
an inventor and liencfactor. She was
engaged, it apiears, in the domestic
manufacture of piaster casts of various
kinds. Complaint having lieen made of
the fragility of these wares, Mrs. Dene
diet liegan a course of experiments with
the hope of giving greater durability to :

mix wheaten Hour with her pulverized
plaster of I'aris, so that the gluten of
the rlonr might make the paste less brit
tle. One evening she had visitors, who
rang the door bell just as she was sifting
the mixed plaster and flour for the third
time by way of mixing them intimately,
as the chemist says. She had already
set a dish of water at hand, intending
to-make a cast .it once, and when the
door bell rang she hastily removed her
apron and went to welcome her guests,
leaving her materials ujon the kitcnen
table. The guests stayed until late bed
time, ami when they bade her . adieu
Mrs. llenedict went to lied without re
turning to the kitchen.
What hapened inthe night was this :
A rat snifling the odor of Hour, made
up the legs of the table to the top,
where he was sj-eedily joined by other
foragers his brethren. The dish of
Hour and plaster was easily reached ami
the rats ate freely and hastily of it, as
is their custom to do. It was rather a
dry supper, and water lieing at hand,
each rat turned from the sa"ory dish of
hour ami plaster to slake his thirst with
the water. Everybody who has had to
do with plaster of I'aris will guess at
once what hapiened. The water drunk
llrst wetted the plaster in the rats' stom
achs, and then, in a technical phrase,
"set'' it ; that is to say, the plaster,
thus made into paste, instantly grew
hard in each rat's stomach, making a
cast of all its convolutions. The event
proved that with such a cast in exist
ence it is imjossible for a rat to retreat
even across a kitchen.
The next morning thirteen of them
lay dead in a ciicle around the water
dish. Mrs. Benedict, like a wise wo
man, kept her secret and made profit of i
it. She undertook, for a consideration.
to clear the premises of her neighbors of
the iiests and succeeded. It vas not
long liefore the town was as free of this !
sort of vermin as if the pied pijer of 1
Ilamelin had traveled that way. Then ;
Mrs. Benedict advertised for agents to
work up the business throughout the
country, selling each the secret for a
fair price. V. Y. Kvtniinj l':t.
Individuality or tiik IIou.-k.
One thing curious and interesting about j
the horse is its individuality. Tliis is a t
characteristic common to all animals, j
undoubtedly, to a greater or less degree, !
but suras.sii!gly so we think in the case !
of the"liorse. Wow this characteristic
varies in horses is well known by any t
o:ie who has ever intelligently drawn a i
rein over a good roadster. The individ- j
uality of horses varies as much as that ;
of men. Evere one has a different men- !
tal as well as physical make-up. Some ;
horses seem to ihisscss brains, to have
some sense, are quick to uudristanu ami
oln-j' the least sign, motion or word of
their master ; others are not inaptly
termed "lnuk-heads' a', ways awkward,
lumbering about, difficult to teach, and
never "make anything, ' in a horse-o'.og-ical
sense. It may be true that these
traits in a horse are sometimes due to
the habits of hii driver or owner, and
that the horse itself may not lie so much
to blame for his ignorance, but however j
much he can le excused on this score,
there is a surprising difference ir. these
mental tfualities of horses. Nome men
drive ami use horses for years and yet
never realize anything, or that there is
any more difference letween them than
thfie is between so many barrels or saw
logs. Other men who handle horses a
great deal, who buy and still horses fre
quently, and who study much their dif
ferent characteristics, will tell you how
wonderful horses are, how much more
they know than some men, how mncli
each one has to lie driven and handled
differently, and how much they will
sometimes teach even their drivers !
1 let ween a nervous, sensitive, intelligent
horse and his considerate owner how
large a union of fellowship and .ynijia
tl y exists. In the stable, on the road,
if overtaken l5r an accident, the cool,
sensible man is sure to have a quick
sympathy from his faithful horse. He I
trusts his master, as his master trusts
him. If the master is quiet, the horse j
will be equnlly so, knowing everything
is safe ; if the master blusters, or lie- !
conies anxious, or exiiiMts iear, tne
horse knows It at once, and Ijecomes rest
tive likewise. Oh, that men only knew
t that horses know much more than they
give tnem credit lor, and mat they
would use them more hnmanely, as they
should, than they now do. Horses are
not brutes, they are noble, intelligent
sensible creatures, the most useful ani
mal servant which tlivine goodness has
given to man. AVtc Knyland Faruitr.

Potatoes, any time of the year, can
be made mealy if boiled in salt ami wa
ter, and drained and then covered with
a thick towel, and left on back of the
range five minutes.
To retain the color of any vegetable,
plunge it into cold water after lmiling.
Cooks make the mistake of loiliiig
things too much. After reaching the
boiling point meats should simmer.
The toughest meats can be ui-ute tender
by so doing.
It is always best to under-season rath
er than to over-season food.
iC When anything is accidentally made
too salt it can be counteract-M by add
ing a tablespoonful of vinegar ami a
tablespoonful of sugar.
Meats of any kind should not lie
washed, but wiped with a towel to pre
serve the juice and quality.
Si'limicr kok Insects. A subscrib
er at .South liraintree, Mass., says an ex
change, has found a mixture of sulphur
and finely cut tolwcco, two arts of the
former to one irt of the latter, an ex
cellent preventive of the ravages ofin
sects on squash and other vines, as well
as for keeping lice from cattle, dogs and
Hultry. He also recommends its use
for sprinkling trees and bushes that are
eaten by canker worms or currant worms.
Sulphur is excellent for use in the jioul
try house, and stable, and so are tobacco
ami snuff, used with care ; but- we are
inclined to choose a mixture of plaster
of I'aris with just enough Paris green
to give it a light tinge, as being both
cheajier and more effectual for squash
vines.
An Ot.d Reaper. A Virgina cor
resiKiiident of the Country timtlcuum
tells of a McCormick reaper which has
completed its thirty-first harvest on the
same farm, having cut 8 acres of wheat
in 4 days. Its owner estimates that it
has cut over 3,0oi) acres of grain, ou land
abounding in fast rocks.
