FARM ASU HOlSEHULD. They soak their potatoes before frying them in Russia. Manneis maka the man, and nowhere can good breeding ai readily be seen as at. the table. A New England experimenter finds that feeding apples to milch cows inva riably lessens the flow of milk. On lignt, spongy soils it will beuelit horses to allow them to go unshod for a while, especially when they have tender feet. I Ilemeniber that the woman throws on , her home surrounding the sunshine or the shadow which exists in her own soul. Teething, feverish children can often be quieted by bathing in warm water in which a large teaspoon! ul of saleratus has been dissolved. Grass seed ia not easily killed, and for that reasou may be sown as early as may be desired. The main object should be to select clean seed. (uite a large amount of early lettuce may be grown by sowing the seed in a cold frame, and thinning the plants out while they are very small, A gilded palm leaf fan with a pocket or bag of silk, velvet or plush attached to it makes an odd but pretty receptacle for photographs, caids or fancy work. When a wash boiler begins to rust and is still too good to cast aside, make a good sized bag of strong muslin or old bed ticking, put the clothes to be boiled into it, and so sava them from rust. Fences cost on most fiirins each year more than taxes, and they are becoming more and more costly as material gfts scarce. The true polity is to take ui interior fences so far as practicable. Before using new earthenware, place in a kettle with cold water, and heat gradually until it boils ; then let it re main until the water is cold ; it will not be so liable to crack if treated in this manner. Most farmers have learned that cut hay or even straw, wet and sprinkled with meal, is better feed for working horses than whole grain and hay. In this shape the nutriment In the feed is easily assimilated. Tomatoes trained to stakes give the sweetest fruit and remain in bearing the longest ; but many cultivatois who grow f jr size and quantity only, believe they have the best results when growing them on the level ground. A calf will thrive on milk after the cream has been taken off. It is better fed to theui sweet and warm, as it chills the stomach and draws from the vitality of the animal to warm the cold milk just from the creamery. Divide yonr rhubarb plants at the roots and make a new location for them. This should be done in the fall or very early in the epring. Tut them in very rich ground with the Duds about one or two inches below the surface. Tables that have been neglected may be bleached by spreading on them over night a layer of wood ashes made into a mortar like paste with water ; then brush it off and scrub. The same paste may be laid on floors when spotted with grease. All small apples and those defective in form or damaged by worms, have their best market on the farm as food for animals. If packed in with sound fruit, eveu in small proportion, they reduce the price of all even to the point of loss. For breakfast fritters, take one cup of cold boiled rice, one pint of flour, one teaspoonfal of salt, two eggs beaten light, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder stirred into the flour, and enough milk to make a thick batter. Fry like griddle cakes. Eoil parsnips until tender, then strain and mash fine. AVarm in a stew pan a little milk, a lump of butter, iepper and salt, then add the parsnips ; plaee in th6 dish in which they are to be served, smooth the top nicely, brush over with beaten egg and put in a hot oven to brown. In order to guard against flies, the stable should be thoroughly cleaned oft en. A sprinkling of the floors with a mixture o? a teaspoonful of carbolic acid and two gallons of water, will dis infect the stall, while the manure heap may also receive an application with advantage. To compel Brahmas and Cochins to roost high is cruelty. They not only have difficulty in getting on but also in getting off. All roosts should be made low and on the same level. There is no necessity for having them high, and a. nearly all diseases of the feet arise from high roos'.s, they should be abolished. This is how the German aie said to get rid of rats : A mixture of two parts of well-bruised common squills and three parts of finely chopped bacon is made into a stiff mass wich as much meal a3 may be required, and then baked in small cakes, which are put down for the rat to eat. It provea an exterminator to the rodents. A good way fo keep a cow's tail still while milking. Is to provide rope strap long enough to pis over the animal's hips, ind hang down over her tail. The rope may be ever so old, as strength is cot ne 'ed, but should be three inches or mon in circumference, as it must have weight. It can be changed from cow to cow as fast s you can walk. Too many housekeepers think they need not sweep oilcloths or floors if they are going to wash them ; the result is a cloudy, half-cleaned look. Once in a while, every fourth week, perhaps, the water used for washing stained or hard wood floors should be hot and have a tablespoon of turpentine and the same of oil in it, the cloth to be wrung out of thl3 and used to wipe the floors. The true French polish is one pint of spirits added to a quarter of an ounce of gum copal, toe same of gum arabic and one ounce of shellac. This polish is used for plain wood that ha3 been stained in imitation of natural wood. The principle of action is the floating with oil the gummy or resinous substances into the pores and bringing the polish up by rubbing. The simplest varnish ia a solullon cf shellac in naphtha.

Plane or sycamore wood la commeDd for lightness, close grain and suscep tibility of a high finish. Barnyard plumes are being utilized in the manufacture of artificial birds, with which to supply fashion's demand. Dogwood is of close texture, and takes a fine- polish. It is often substituted for Ixixwood in tbe manufacture of tool hdudles, mallets, etc. Kricks composed of cork, sand arid lime, have been made by the Germans, which have proven non-conductors ot sound and beat. Oue of the best woods for fuel or to be used in the smoking of meats, is Oregon ash. It is also easily worked, is tough, light and elastic. The first electric railway in operation on the Pacific slope has been constructed in Los Angeles, Cal. It is a street car line, three miles long. Germany manufactures 540,000 real and 500,000 imitation meerschaums, and wooden pipes and clay bowls in great variety are made by millions. A railway car is being built of steel by Boston experimenters. It will ti heated by hot air pipes. A compressible platform will rendei telescoping impos sible. Oxide of iron is found to be an adhe sive and durable cement for uniting iron surfaces. With it a joint can be made that will resist an equal pressure with the iron itself. The project of using electricity for locomotive headlights has met with a a poor reception at the hands of the en gineers, owing to its demoralizing effect upon their time pieces. A deposit of iron, so pure that it can be used without smelting, has been dis covered in Arkansas. The deposit is of vast extent, the outcrop being two milts in length, thirtv feet in width, and very deep. When swallows fly low, wet weather may be expected, because the insects which the swallows pursue in their flight are flying lowing to escape the moisture of the upper regions of the atmosphere. Electricity is to be used by a French inventor in the bleaching of paper pulp. He will use a solution of chloride of magnesium through which the current passes, removing divers oxychlorides and thus bleaching tbe fiber. The quota of 100,000 seals allowed by tbe Goverument to be taken annually from St. George and St. Paul, could be easily increased to twice as many with out danger of extermination. Statistics carefully compiled by the agent show that the seals are increasing every year. ar.d, should nothing happen to drive tbe seals away from these islands, there is no reason to fear that this rich Industry of the United States will decrease in value. As a feat of engineering, the tunnels of the St. Gothard and Mont Cenis have been surpassed by a tunnel near Schem nits, in Hungary. It is 10 miles long, about 10 feet high, and 5 broad. It has taken nearly a century to complete it, and cost $5,000,000. Its purpose Is to carry off the water from the mines. The work has suffered long Intervals of etoi page, once for thirty and again for twenty years, and is estimated to effect an annual saving of $50,000. A remarkable piece of mechanism is shown in the production of a minature steamship. It is a model of the ''City of "Worcester," a Norwich line boat, ruunlng from New York to Providence The model is forty-two inches long and ten inches wide and in this small space are shown the complete parts and work Ings of the large boat. The finishings are of gold and silver, and electricity is employed in lighting up this minature palace. The operating machinery gives forth strains from the latest operas. Meaning of the Italian Riviera. In the the Italian language, the word lliviera stands for either seacoast, river valley or country ; but in a general way, when used without qualification, the term is applied or understood tc apply to that part of the west coast of Italy which lies along the Gulf of Genoa, extending- from Nice to Leghorn, or more accurately speaking, from Venti miglia to Spezia. That portion lying be tween the first named point and Genoa is called Riviera di Tonente, or shore of the setting sun, while the section ly iDg between Genoa and Spezia is termed Riviera di Levante. or shore of the ris ing sun. It includes the beautiful and romantic territory traversed by the famous cornice road (so named from running high along the mountain wall or side), which has always been so great ly admired by travelers, who, before the I opening of the present railway line along me same route, but much closer to the seashore, nsed to make the journey along the coast in carriages. Although the country included in this territory ia wholly mountainous and seems barren to the American traveler it is thickly populated and is the centre of many im portant Industries, the most valuable interests being the oil and marble trade 3 and ship-building. Depression of Prices of Beef Cattle. The stock interests are suffering as well as others from depression in prices. Stock cattle are now, in price, at a point so near the cost of production that the margin for profit is but slight. We are now passing through tbe lowest prices for cattle we have had for years. The prices have been from 40 to 50 per cent, lower than in 18S4. We believe we have touched bottom and there must be nigh- ' tr prices and an increased activity in j tbe beef cattle maiket. j The losses of cattle by the severity of ib's winter's storms bave been heavy, and the rePrted number of stock cattle f9 & 1083 than ain iQ num" The business Of tha ennntw .,,.,, . - w wwuwj WMiautO better prices than stock now receives. The outlook is encouraging. Business interests are reviving, and labor will be more in demand and the consumption of beef increase. This will revive the voujyuiai v uepreaaicn m tne catue trade. FROM LIFE TO DEATH is but moment if rheumatism or neural gia, strikes the heart. These diseases ara -the most painful and the mott dangerous of any to which human kind is liable. They fly from one part to another without a moment's warning, and liniments and other outward applications are in them selves dangerous because they are liable to drive the disease to some vital organ and cause instant death. Rheumatism and neuralgia are diseases of the blood, andean only be reached by a remedy which will drive from the blood the dangerous acids. Such a remedy is Athlophoros. It has been thoroughly tested and is a safe, sure cure. Spruce Creek, T., Oct. 5, 1885. In answer to your request to know what your Athlophoros has done for me, I will say it has done wonderful work. I have suffered from rheumatism for eighteen years more or less, and sometimes not able to put my clothes on or eat alone. I took all kinds, doctored with a good many doc tors, but nothing did me any good. I was getting worse instead of better. I read your advertisement in the " Demo crat" and "Sentinel" papers of Louis town. I have taken in all four bottles. I ft-el no pain. I was drawn crooked, but now I am straight once more. Thank you for the good it done me. Athlophoros is the medicine. Philip IIabpsteb. Your medicine has cured me of neural gia. I suffered with it for three days, and it gave me instant relief. Wm. F. Kijich. Palmyra, N. Y, August 19th, 1886. I used one bottle of Athlophoros for neu ralgia after being laid up eight weeks. Th result was very satisfactory. K. 8. Eddy. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bouirht of the druggist the Athlo phoros (Jo., 112 Wall St., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is $1.00 per bottle for Athlophoros and oOo. for Pills.

According to KwongShan, a Chinese doctor in St. Louis, by the Celestial theory of medicine, which partakes much of the nature of their theology and philosophy, man is closely associated with and influenced by the external world. For instance, there are five planets, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury, which are supposed to have influence over the five viscera stomach, liver, heart, luntrs, and kid neys; that there are Ave element in man, earth, wood, fire, metal, and water, corresponding with five colors, yellow, green, red, white, and black, and these related again to the five tastes sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salt. Tbe combination of the blood and the breath, they hold, constitute life, and the withdrawal of one of these means death. With all this fanciful theory there is also woven into the system, in a manner utterly inexplicable, the be ief in the androgynous nature of all things, that everything is part male and part female. Such a thing as experi menting in medicine is unknown. Dis secting they hold to be iuhuman, and vivisection is denounced in unmeasured terms. With this view of these things it is impossible that the Chinese should have any surgery beyond perhaps taking off a mashed limb or cutting out a bul let. They have a sort of amrstbetic, not so strong as chloroform, but it is seldom used. The heart is the centre of thought, the brain being in the Chinese physi ology, but an inferior part of the man. There is uo chemistry required in a Chinese doctor. Pretty near everything that comes to band is medicinal in its nature, and the Chinese pharmacopeia is as extensive as their dictionary would be if they had one, for no word will express more than one idea. The father of Chinese medicine was Shun Nong, and he lived about 8,000 years ago, being a sort of Emperor, or pr.nce, or demi god. Shun Xong was not made like an ordinary mortal. lie was transparent, and could see right through himself. Whenever anything went wrong with him he just looked into himself to see what was the mat ter, and then took his medicine and marked bow the dose got to the spot. A Funny Irish Storj. During the Fenian fuss in Ireland twenty years ago a wild Irish-American named Driscoll, with a splendid record as a soldier duriDg the war of the rebel lion, was locked np in Kilmainham jail in Dublin. He was a member of the fraternity, and many of Lis companions were boarding in tbe same establish ment ac the expense of her majesty. Only a few out of the number arrested could be brought to trial, for there was little or uo evidence agaiDst them. Driscoll was an iucorrigible prisoner. He played practical jokes upon the jail officials, assaulted keepers, and was con stantly getting into trouble. He often received "cells" that is a bread and water cure in a dark cell for terms of from three to ten days. Worn out at last, be promised to reform, but when an effort was made to get the points of his testimony for the Crown prosecutor's brief, he refused bluntly to tell anything, saying that he would reveal everything, when once on the stand. He was taken to court. One of his companions was on trial. A murmnr of rage ran through the spectators when tbe informer appeared in the witness box. It seemed to amuse him, for it made him smile. The oath was admin istered to him. He kissed the Bible with a resounding smack and then the examination proceeded as follows : Q Do yon know the prisoner at the bar ? A I don't see no bar, I am sorry to say. His Lordship Witness I No levity here, sir I This is no place for joking, proceed. Q,(bythe attorney-general) Do yon know this man ? (pointing to the pris oner.) A. No, sir. 1 never seen the man before in my life. Anyway, I didn't come here to talk about the people I know. I came here to get a good square opportunity to tell the public that the grub we get up there in that ould jail isn't fit for a dog. His Lordship Go down. sir. I'll deal with you present!) ! It took four policemen to drag Dris coll out of toe witness box. He never tried his haDd at informing afterward. Quips. The tailor may not make the man, but he has considerable influence in shaping him People do not like to acknowledge their own weaknesses. They are not, however, unwilling to acknowledge the weaknesses of others. rolltics is not "bad business," as some people seem to imagine, or as they often express themselves. It is tbe "bad business" introduced Into politics that is bad. A well-known minister, speaking at a convention in Boston, said : " We want also another law passed, talked, written np, preached every where ; and that is the law of Individual self-control, which makes a man feel his responsibil ity to other men. Newspapers bnstles are now made of back numbers. It Is pretty tough to think that a man's best journalistic efforts shall be thus sat upon. It crushes all the glory out of the profession, re marks the Petersburg News, and were it not that an editor can feel that be has not only brightened a woman's aaind, but improved her shape, he might well throw up the sponge in disgust and retire from a world of bustle and de ception. An old Irishman occupied the bar ber's chair the other morning, and he was drowsy. Ilia eyes could not be kept open, and his head tumbled about .. . . ! ana aroppea over upon nis shoulder and , down upon his breast in a way that i made shaving a difficult operation foi the knieht of the lather and a danger ous one for the patient. Finally the barber said gently Uat firmly : "Look a-here, sir ; I caa'fc possibly share you unleaa you hold your bead up." To which the response wm made with indifference : "Coot me hair, thin."

The Chinese have a wonderful rival to the true mocking bird in what is known as the Chinese or Mancboorlan lark.
