Why Children Lrare tbe Farm.
Wefommend to the consideration of
oar reader same thoughts of Adeline E.
in tbe liitral Xcw Yorker, as to why so
many of our youths are eager to leave
j tbe farm instead of following the call
ing of their lathers and mothers. In
the drat place tbey are not brought up
to love the country ; they are early ac
customed to hear both father and moth
er grumble about the hardships of farm
life. Then there ia too much work and
too littie play for them. The boy
works in the fiald all day, and his lit
tie opportunity for amusement ia the
evening is cut short by a long range of
chorea" til! bedtime ; meanwhile the
sister has much tbe same experience in
the house. And no agricultural col
lege in the land will restore what' their
parents have blindly allowed them to
lose. ......
Study the. "bent" of your children.
If a boy hates one kind of farm work and
likes another, don't make him do what
he dislikes all the time ; but so far as
possible let him do the agreeable work.
When he offers suggestions or forms
plans, don't laugh at him, however im
practicable they may be ; but if there is
anything in thorn make the most it.
point out his mistakes, and encourage
him to i3e thinking powers.
Keep your daughter at home by get
ting for her, as far as you are able,
some things she practically likes a
magazine, a crojuet set, or an organ ;
nd let her carry out some of her pet
plana for improving tbe flower warden
and front yard. And if you h ive jiven
her some domestic animal, and allowed
her to pet it and regard It as her very
own, don't sell it and pocket the moo-
ey. T,ct her ketrrit and dispose, of it as
she will. , Lul a gift always be a real
cne.
Lastly, the social longings of young
people must be gratiSed. Provide them
with plenty of good reading matter, ard
encouragrt all legitimate literary, musi
cal, and social entertainments. Youth
ia not contented without society, and
cght not to be.
Exercises for Horses in Winter.
A m'utaken kinduesa often keeps
horses closa in their stable. They
shiver, yet they are not turned out be
cause ic is thought they would get cold
, er. A heart play, running and kick
ing np their heels, will quicken tbe rir
cutattnn and warm them up ; and if
' permitted, they will take this exercise
gladly. Not only their comfort, but al
, . so their health Jemaods this frolic.
Accustomed to steady work for months,
they are enervated, their muacles made
aoftaod rltbby, tbey are unfitted for
epring woik. When ' unemployed, a
horse should be given its liberty at
least two hours everv day that is not
stormy. The farm is not rigidly man
aged when there is no work for the
borers la winter. A brre consuming,
but not producing, dnring six months,
destroys the profits from his labor dur
ing the other six months. Laborers
can be had at low wnges during the
winter and employment for them and
the horses can be found. When the
horse is given Sunday rest it should be
allowed some exercise. Rest is ne t to.
tal cessation from movement ; this is
more tiresome than uiodeiate work.
The greatest rest is when nature has
tbe best chance to repair waste, ai d
gentle exercise Is one of the cocditioLS
favorable to the nuking of new mxter
A lot three or four acres In extent,
with an open shed in one corner, is
what is wanted for an exercise ground.
A Bell tilth a History.
At Lumpktn, G.. Is a church bell
with a history. This old bell has done
much service for many different people.
It has engraved op on li the year 1000.
tbe year in which it wae made. Fur a
comber of years it tolled tbe hour for
congregations In a convent In tbe
Netherlands. It was a terward carried
toJLisboo-, and from there to Madrid,
and was In the monastery at that place
wdtq the great Napoleon Invaded that
territory, taking everything as ha.

moua'ala siJes, an-1 all bells were le
iog taken aod re-.Mjt into cannon for
the furtherance of bis warhk ambition.
Tbe owners of this bell, seeing bis iu
, tentions. and loving their sacred pro
perty that bad so long served "hem.
secretly took it down from lis tone y
X iwer, aud placing it on board a Urge
vessel about to sail for this country,
shipped It to New Yoik, where it re
mained for many years, oot Hit w,
purchased by a Lumpkin man for his
church. It has been used so much that
it has lost its tone, and will have to be
laid aside.

Hogs ob the Farm.
There ia a great deal to be said tor
and against tbe fanners' dogs. Ia tbe
first place tbe common, ordinary . cor la
a nuisance, not only about the house,
but more particularly among stock.
With no Instinctive love for sheep or
cattle, be must be trained to keep him
from doing absolute damage. Any
thing which will ran will afford a
youcg dog amusement, and when be
has once tasted the joys of chasing a
flock of sheep or cattle he will lose no
chance to amuse himself at tbe ex
panse of the farmer's stock, and if he
carries his pleasure so far as to get a
taste of mutton it will require an ex
cellent band to break him or his fault,
a mere reprimand or even -a sound
thrashing does no good towards curing
the evil habit. On the contrary it
arouses the doc's cunning and sharpens
his wits to each an extent that he will
become so sly in his work that he will
almost defy tbe master.
But with sneh dogs as tbo Scotch col
lie, tbe farmer runs little risk In raising
a sheep-killer or a dog that will del!ght
in tbe vulgar pastime of chasing ea't'e.
These dogs have been bred with great
eare for many generations, and have
been so accustomed to sheep and cattle 4
tbat their Jove for the beard and flock
baa become one of their most pro
nounced instincts. As puppies tbey
like to scamper after beas, or perhaps
follow a ranting flock of sheep, but
there is such an absence of viciousness
in their nature that tKe flock soon come
to regard them as inoffensive neighbors.
Indeed, a flock of sheep are easily ac-
eas'omed to a sheep dog, and soon come
to enjoy its society. . .
These dogs are ensily trained, and
when associated with the herd or flock
the knowledge tbey acquire of their
ways is remarkable, and tbe ingenuity
they show in their methods is an evi
dence of their wonderderful sagacity.
Seme striking examples of their in
telligence have been recorded, and of
these none are more remarkable than
those which refer to their S6lf-taught
acts. Tbey have a real genius, and ia
the performance of their duties they are
constantly picking up bits of informa
tion, and they develop in time such a
degree of knowledge that it is scarcely
necessary to order them to do a given
piece of work. Tbey take in the situ
ation themselves, and at once set about
doing that which they think should be
done.
If farmers want a useful, earaeions.
handsome dog they cannot do better
than provide themselves with a Scotch
collie. Besides being a nice, practical
dog amoog cattle he is a good animal
about tbe house. Cheerful, fond of
children, aud not given to straying
away from home and annoying his
neighbors.
Healthfalness ol Tarioas Ocenpat'oss.
Assuming tba normal average death
ra e of the community as the unit of
comparison, and calling It 1000, partic
ular occupations may be regarded as
nealtby or unhealthy, according aa tbe
death rates among chose pursuing them
fall above or below that figure. The
most healthy occupation appears to be
tbat of ministers of religion, whose rate
is 55C x; are gardeners and n orsery-
men, 590 ; farmers aod graziers, 631 ;
agricultural laborers, 761 ; schoolmas
ters. 719; grocers, coal merchants.
paper, lace and hosiery manufacturers.
wheelwrights, shipbuilders and coal
miners, with all of whom tbe a vera ire
death rat is noder 775. The most on-
healthy occupations are the trades con
nected with tbe liquor traffio and hotel
aeivice. with which tbe death "rate Is
2205 ; following these are general labor,
era in London, 2020 ; costermongeri,
bankers and street sellers, ISTIr : Inn-,
keepers, etc., 1536 ; and brewers, 1361.
Af er the trades connected with alco
hol, the highest rates ore furnished by
tbe patrons that Involve . tbe breathing
of dost other than coal dust and ex
posure to lead polslonng. The death
rste among butchers Is also' high. 11T0.
Under Water Foar Hinstes.
The question has often bee asked,
bow long is it possible for a mu to re
main under water ? aod In order to ans
wer it 1L . Laeessagne, a well known
European scientist, has been making
some observations. His chief subject
was a celebrated diver, who, it was al
leged, could remain under water for
four minutes and fourteen seconds,
which it must be confessed, is a great
advance in duration over tbe period
crmmonly believed to prove fata! to a
completely immersed person. Tha
atudy of this man . revealed - certain In-
Wresting snd important points. In tbe
Brst place, be expelled all the air from
his longs that Is, all the air which
breathing can expel from tbe lungs, for
there always remains in the lunes. an
amount over and above tbat which can
be exhaled in tbe deepest expiration
then he filled bis lungs as comnletelv aa
possible and dived. While in the water
he swallowad about a litre of tbe fluid.
On emerging from the water it ia said
be "snorted" frequently, while his face
was congested, bis heart beats slow and
feeble and his eyes flushed.
Usernlaess of Bje.
Kye deserves all tbat recent writers
ay of it, and they might have added
its special and peculiar usefulness as an
occupier of the ground through Sentem
ber and October, when the mild warmth
acd moisture are favorable to the eon
version of nitrogen in the soil into sol
uble nitrates, which wonld then be
mostly lost by leaching If no actlye
plant roots are present to retain it.
The loss is ruinous to farm soils, and
should be prevented in gardens by sow.

cant. Another nnmentioned merit is
tbe healtbfulnees of rye fljur as an oe
caeional change of diet, far preiirahisfl
to changing rrom diet to drugs. The
hardiness and eturd y vigor of rye add so
greatly to ita usefulness in a course for
field rotation tbat it might well be
made a question for discussion, where

Deepest Coal Sine In tbe World.
Tbe Hasard colliery war opened in
1842 by M. d'Andrimont. Thr area of
Its concession is 4.170 acres. Tbe col
liery employs 961 workmen under
ground and 273 at tbe surface. lis out
pal in 1886 was 232.742 tons. The
seams worked vary from 2 feet to 4 feet
1 inch in thickness, and the coal Is of a
semibitnminous character. A notable
feat ere-in tbe working of the mine is
tbe nse of the P!om and d'Andrimont
excavator, an ingenious contrivance for
increasing tbe useful effect of blasting.
Tbe shot ht-ie is drilled in the ordinary
manner and tbe excavator Is introduced,
which hollows ont a space at the back
of tbe bole This enlarged powder
chamber ia found to greatly increase tbe
useful effect of blasting and also tbe
proportion of round coal. Ic is used io
six seams in tbe colliery, and has also
been adopted at Lens. France. Tbe
coals are not brought to the surface of
tbe shafts, but only te the level of 400
feet, wbesee an endless chain road, two
miles long, extends to Bay Bonnet.
Tbe Saint Andre du Foirier mine
claims to be tbe deepest coal mine in
yie world. It has a royalty of 864 acres,
and a yearly production of 200,000 to
250,000 tons. There are two coal draw
ing shafta. tbe one 2.9o2 feet i eep, the
otLer 3,083 feet deep. The first shaft is
being deepened to 3,149 feet and each of
the pita i ventilated by a Guibal fan
working In a second shaft.
A Cleck Peddler's Trick.
A good story was told your cor
respondent the other day about a well
known old gentleman who peddled
clocks and jewelry In tbe days before
railroad contracts made bim worth over
a quarter of million. 'I distinctly re
collect on oue occasion." said he, "I
was selling clocks near Mecbanicaborg,
in tbe beautiful Cumberland Valley,
and ran neross a bouse where the man
purchased three. After dinner, to
which I was invited, my curiosity be
Ing excited by the fact of the gentle
man's taking three olocka, I aaked tbe
reason. He told me tbat be was one of
three brothers who bad agreed amoog
tbemaelves tbat tbe first one who struck
a clock peddler should buy a clock for
acb. I inquired about the brothers,
where they resided and the bes: way to
reach sbem, aod after dinner I started,
and before evening bid seen the two
brothers and sold them each three
clock, making nine in all." When be
fioisaed tbe story the old gentleman
gave-a obuckle as if he had a accom
plisbed a thing for whist he deserved
coramendatloa.
Hounding Carres.
People talk about curves and twists
lot railroad tracks in mountainous coun
ceuntry. where bridges aai cats add
t their fears, bat it is all nonsense. A
urve on such a read ts no worse than
a curve in a level country. I waa
thrown from one aide of tbe ear to tbe
other, oot of a seat, ae tbe Sota F a
few years ago on level track. Yoa be
a great many stories about suddenly
fludieg yourself in another seat, bat
this Ss one of the few actual occurences.
It was on a sharp carve, and the eE?!
neer was careless, that was all. A
carve, in fact, is never felt when a good
engineer is at tbe throttle. Tbie is
something that but few people kaow.
If an engineer, on approaching a curve,
pnta on tbe air and pulls a train op taut,
the cars go around as smoothly as well
oiled machinery. It is ouly when tbey
are left loose and strung out that tbeir
passengers are made uneomfortb!e.
Baking Soda and Saleiatas.
Bicarbonate of soda is very often pot
np in packages and labeled saleratna.
but this is an sdu Herat lot, or rather a
fraud, as real saleratns is the bicarbon
ate of pvah and Is obtained from en
tirely a different source. There ia,
however, an easy method of distinguish
ing btween the two. If som of the
suspected sube-tance be sprinkled prtij
thickly over some loose cotton and satl
ursled with alcohol and tbe alcohol eet
on fire, the flima wlir be bright yellow
If the suritance ia baking soda, and
purplish if it is real salera'us.
