How to Make Hot Beds.
Pf)Tid4 a quantity of fresb horss mi
nnre arid add this, when practicable,
one-third oT 1-a bulk la leaves. Mtz
thoroughly, tramp dowa and formula a
Urgi pile. Iq twy or three dijs fer
mentation will be apparent by the es
cape ot steam from the heap. Now
turn agaio, and allow the heap to ret
main two or three days longer, or until
the second fermentation begins. Mike
an ezeaTatioo, or pit, two and a half
feet deep, and of a size suited to the
nnmber ot plants required. The pit
will be belter If buHt np of brick. It
should be made In some dry, sheltered
spot, facing the sooth or east It possi
ble Hot bed sashes are usually six by
three feet, and onesaab wil! generally
give early plants enough for a large
family. The frame sashes should be
eighteen inches high at the back and
twelve inches Ic front, which will give
the proper slope to catch the sunlight.
Cross pieces should be placed for sashes
to elide on, to facilitate opening aud
shutting the frames. When everything
is ready the maoo.ro is placed in the pit
and trodden down firmly In layers to
the required depth, two to two and a
half feet. Then put on the sashes, and
keep the pit closed until the beat rises.
At first it will probably be 100 or
more, which Is too hot to sow the seed
In ; but in two or three days it will sub
side to W- or a Mttle less.Kben the
soil may be put on to the depth of six
to eight inches. The heat may be read
ily ascertained by plunging a thermom
eter in the manure. The soil should be
of well rotted sod (or common garden
soil will do), mixed with about a third
of One old manure, and In this the seeds
may be sown thinly in drills two or
three Inches apart, and afterward (aa
aoon as out of the seed leaf) either
thinned out or transplanted to another
frame. Air moat be given evary mild
day by raising the sashes at the back.
Water with tepid water whenever
necessary, and during cold nights and
storms keep covered with straw mate or
board shutters. Tomatoes, peppers and
egg plants should be sown In a separate
frame from the cabbage, cauliflower
and lettuce, as they reqaire more beat
than the latter. The same diiections
may apply to hot beds made on the sur
face of the ground, except that the ma
nure should be ai least a foot wider on
all sides than the frame.
Tillage Life on the Congo.
Many of the villages on the npper
Congo consist merely of fifty or sixty
log huts, two-thirds of the population
being generally women. In many dis
tricts women ate considered as curren
cy, their value increasing as they attain
a greater degree of corpulency. Each
women has as many metal ornaments as
she can wear, some composed of Iron,
others of brass and copper. These
ineUIs lire the money of the country, so
that the more a womaa can heap
upor herself the greater becomes ber
value. Each chief has as many wives
as be can afford to boy or marry, which
is only auother form of purchase. Early
in the morning few of these women are
to be found in the villages, as they
start off at daybreak to work in their
plantations, and do not return nntil
about noon. However, a few always
Lave to remain to attend to the neces-
sary domestic items of life, such as
cooking and their toilet. These Cen
tral Africans are very particular In all
items In cocnection with their toilet,
which consists of plaiting their hair,
shaving off the eyebrows, pulling ont
the eyelashes, cutting their nails right
down to the quick, and besmearing
their bodies with a mixture of palm-oil
and camwood.
In another part of the village are
seen some of the villagers engaced in
making tiihlog-nets and basket-work,
and being helped by the young boys of
the vil.age, who become initiated Into
these crafts at a verv early age. Agaio,

A ood Substitute for aa Overcoat.
Gen. Ilusaey, the asaiatant secretary
of the Interior, has a somewhat novel
uae for newspapers. The other day
when the weather was sharp be was
prefartcg to go ont of the department
building for lunch. A Wasbiogton
St'tr reporter who happened to be In the
room at the time was surprised to see
him unbutton the lower buttoos of bis
est, fold np a newspaper ltd, placing
it over his abdomen, button the vest
over It. "I always do that," be said in
reply to a surprised inquiry from the rs
porter, "when I am going to be out 10
the cold. The newspaper is a non-conductor
of heat, aad when placed over
the stomach preserves trie supply In
what baa been called the reservoir of
beat of the body. A newspaper is a
good substitute for an overcoat, and in
cold weather la the best device that
people with scanty wardrobes can adopt.
Insuffie'ent bvdclothiog can be rein
forced in the same way, and the news
paper may be said to be the poor man's
friend In more senses than one. When
chilled ly sudden cold a newspaper
placed over tn. stomach aoon restores
tne normal temperature of the body and
prevents an attack of pneumonia. I
have frequently recommended this uae
of newspapers, tut I Cud that practi
cally ery few people really appreciate
its value."

PATENTED
A Tack Feddler Family.
A New York dispatch of February 23,
ays that John Jacob Astor, the bead
of the richest family in America, died
suddenly at bia borne in that city at 4
o'clock Saturday moroicg. Deceased
was C5 years old and bis wealth was es
timated at $200,000,000. William
Waldorf Astor. the only son, will in
herit the bulk of the fortune and will
succeed bis father as bead of the Astor
family. The deceased was the grand
son of John Jacob Astor. one of the nu
merous children of a peasant of Waldorf,
Germany. lie came to America when
Great Britain acknowledged the inde
pendence ot the colonies In 17S3, and
for a time worked in a baker shop at
2 a week. lie afterwards pot a pack
on bis back and traded gew Raws for
fnrs with the Indians, in which busi
ness and other cunning devices, yet
known and practiced by tin pack ped
dlers, he amassed wealth and invested
It in real estate in New York city when
this property was cheap. By the in
crease of valne in the land It is now
valued at about S250.000.000, of which
the latest John Jacob held $200,000,000.
Moral : If yoa respect wealth don't
spore the pack peddler from your door;
on the contrary receive him with open
arms and let him cheat yoa. For. ob
serve, that the man with a pack on his
back, and plenty of cunning in bis eye,
and avarice thoroughly developed, may
be the founder of the ieading family"
of a commercial metropolis of one hun
dred years hence. Of each are many
leading" families In a country where
wealth is uppermost and merit alone is
a handicap that relegates the possessor
to a back seat, away out of sight of the
front occupied by the nobility of the re
public. The probability that if there have
been any Indians at the ear of St. Peter
the original John Jacob has not felt the
need or furs be dealt in while on earth
in the quarters be baa occupied ic
death.
Mo Thieves In Trail Street
Inspector Byrnes, in his Professional
Criminal of America, gives a list of one
hundred backs which thieves either ri
fled or attempted to rob between No
vember, 18G2. and February. 13S5. Ten
of these were in the city of New York.
Owing to the thoroughly efficient de
tective system established In Wall
street, the depredations of the bank
sneaks have been summarily ended in
that locality. These daring vlilians
are "all meu of education, pleasing ad
dress, good personal appearance, and
are faultless in their attire. Cool.
quick, resolute, and acting in concert,
one may be on the lookout, a second en
gaged io Interesting conversation with
a bank officer or effleers, and a third
stealthily creeping behind the counter
and eaptnring the cash or a bnndle of
bonds. Or the last may obtain access
to the vault, from which be purloins
whatever be may deftly conceal or car
ry off, while bis confederates monopo
lize the attention of the clerks. One
of the most daring bank snatcbers in
the city effected two robberies in the
coarse of a single day. Entericg one
bank ba leaped to the top of a partition
seven feet bigb, leaned over, snatched
two packages of bills containing $1,000
each,- and escaped. A little later he
climbed on the counter of another bank,
captured several thousand dollars, and
again escaped. Similar success attend
ed the eold miscreant In hie subsequent
attempt to escape from the Court of
General sessions. He Is now in jail.
Eatlai; the first Ojster. r
" Itjh as been ofttn said that he mas
have been a bold man who first ate an
ojster. This Is said Id ignorance of
the lrgerjd Wilch assigns the first act
ef ojster eating- to a verj oataral cause,
It is related that a maa, walking one
daj. picked up one of these savorj bi
valves just aa it was in the act of gap
ing. Observing ,tae extreme smooih
ness of the interior ot .the shells1 be in
serted bis finger between them that
he might 'feet their shining surface,
when soddealj tbej closed upon the
exploring digit with a sensation less
p asurable than be anticipated.
The prompt withdrawal of his finger
was scarcely a more naturaJ movement
thr.n Its transfer to his moatb. It is
not verj clear wbj people 'when ibey
hart their fingers pat them- into rtheir
mouths ; but.it is verj .pertain .thjtt
thevdo ; and in this case the result
was most fortunate. ' '
The owner of the finger tasted the
ojster juice for the first time, as the
Chinaman in Ellas' essay having burnt
his finger first tasted crackling. The
savor wa. delirious ; be bad made a
great discovery ; so he picked op the
ovsters, forced open the shells, bario
queted upon their - contents, and soon
wrought ojster eating into fashion.
And,- unlike moat fashions, it has
never gone, and is never likkelj to' go
ont.
Haw bold Rings are Bade.
Gold rings are made from bars nine
to fifteen laches lens:, two inches wide
and tbresixtenths of an Inch thick,
is worib 11,000, and will make 300
four pennyweight rings. A doxen pro
cesses and twent j minutes' time are
required to convert this bar Into mer
chantable tings. First a pair of shears
cats the bar into stripe ; then bj the
torn of a wheel a guillotine-like blide
attached to tbo machine cats the bar
into slices, one, two, or tbreesixtentba
ofanlncb wide. A rolling machine
next presses out tha slices and makes
them either flat or grooved. Each
atrip la then pnt nuder a blow Dine and
annealed. The oxide of copier comes
to tha surface, and is pat into a pickle
of sulphuric acid, after which the ring
is stamped 14k," "lCk," or "lSk,"
according to quality. Next it is put
through a machine whicb bends it into
the shape of a ring of the eiz desired.
The ends are then soldered with an
alloy of Inferior fineness to the qualit j
of the ring. Many people think that
rings are molded because they cau't
bee where tLey are soldered. The ring
spins through the turning lathe. Is
rounded, pared, and polished. Erst with
steel filings, then with tripoli and
rouse.

week, and the mannre carried off to a
place where the fowls haye no access.
If the poultry boose has no dcor,
eggs will batch better if the nes'.s are
made directly on the ground ; scoop
out the earth to the requisite slz. and
line with a handful of soft grass or
leaves. Made n this way the embryo
chicks will not only absorb enongb
moisture to sustain life, bnt the eggs
will escape the danger of being shaken
every time the ben flies upon the shelf
to return to ber nest. If, however,
the poultry hoase contains a floor, then
make the nests on low shelves having
strons, steady supports. They should
e constructed so as to be easily taken
apart and thoroughly cleansed ; station
ary nests are not so good, neither is it
advisable to have two of them fastened
together. As is often the case, the
simplest and most inexpensive ones are
preferable. A very good plan is to
have boxes about six Inches dep.
with neither to nor bottom, placed on
a board one or two feet from the floor.
This arrangement costs so little that
one can afflord to have two sets and
keep one out ennniDg all the time. A
bandfnl of trashy tobacco, stalks or
sterna, placed in the bottom of the nest,
will prevent the vermin from tronbline
the sitting bens, and immediately afUr
the first hatching the old nest should
ba removed and replaced with a new
one. I am satisfied that a neglect of
this precaution Is the reason wby eo
many setting bens die on their nests.
How to Make Lire Happy.
Take time ; Ii '.a no nse to foam and
fret, or do as the angry housekeeper who
has got bold of the wrong key, aod
pushes, sbakea and rattles it about the
lock nntil both are broken and the door
Is still nn opened.
The chief secret of eomfort lies In
not suffering trifles to VrX yon and in
cultivating our undergrowth of email
pleasures.
Try to regard present vexations as
yoa will regard them a month hence.
Since we cannot gt what we like let
as like what we can get.
It is not riches. It is not poverty, it is
human nature that is the trooble.
The world is like a looking g'ass.
Laugh at it and it laughs back ; frown
at It and it frowns back.
Angry thoughts canker the mind and
dispose it to the worst temper in the
world that of fixed malice and revenge.
It is while In this temper that moat
men become criminal.
Show your sense by saying much In
few words.
Try. to speak some kind word or do
some kind deed each day of your life.
Yon will be ample repaid.

Beauty ef an Egyptian Landscape.
I can hardly descrbe the beauty of
Egyptian landscape, says Frank Car
penter, ic the American Agriculturist.
There are no fences, and the farms aud
fields are separated only by the charac
ter of the crops and the canals. There
are no bams nor bouses in the fields,
which are so small and so rich in their
crops, that they make the whole
country look like a vast garden. Every
thing grows like the famous gourd of
Johnab. The patches of clover bend
their heads over the weight of sweet
ness, the cotton in the patch bursts
fortb In Its pods of whiteness, and buds
of heavy green point out the rich com
ing harvests of beaus. There are few
trees to be seen, only here and there a
cluster of tall palms marks the site or a
mud farming village, and a grove of
date trees reminds yoa that yoa are in
the tropica.
Sharp Trading.
A gentleman, seeing too sharpers,
and wishing to know who made the
best bargain, asked one :
How much did you tell the horse
for Sam ?
'Five dollars. V.
"Oh, Sam. how could yoa do that ?'
Ob, the horse is lame, sir."
The gentleman then said to the other
sharper :
How coald you buy that borse,Jim?
It la lame."
Jev r you mind ; it is only the bad
shoeing that makes It lame."
The gentleman then called Sam
again :
"Sam, the horse is not lame, only
badly abod."
'No. sir ; I only Lad It badly shod to
deceive the buyer."
The gentleman spoke to Jim again :
"Say, the shoe was badly put on to
deceive yoa."
"Yoa never mind, sir ;
