SWINE.— Let the breeding vows and
store pigs have the run of the stubbles.
Pigs intended to Wf a tted thia ball sliould
now be fed liberally, but should be al
lowed to run in the pasture.
MHCT.P. Lambs should now be
weaned. Put the ewes in a poor pasture,
and let the lambs have the run of some
second growth clover or other rich grass.
If the weather is wet and the grass
succulent, give some dry food, such as
clover hay, or better sti'.l, bran. Re
move the rams from the flock.
Drrats IN THE GARDEN. —No more
valuable help can be proo.,rcd in tlie
garden, to disturb and destroy insects,
than a brood of you ngd ticks. They de
vour immense quantities of bugs, slugs,
and other injurious posts, and in their
continual raging disturb what thov do
not destroy. Thev injure none of the
vegetables,* unless it may be young cab
bage plants.
VEAL Cnxmra. —Take some veal, s
piece of fillet or tho next dice of the legs,
and out into pieces a little larger than a
crown piece, and less than a quarter of
an inch thick. Ivat them out rather thiu
aud trim nicely. Egg. and bread
crumb them ana Bancs them in batter.
Fry some slices of bam or bacon, ami
pUoe thorn on your dish alternately with
the veal cutlets, and pour tomato saaee
around, or any other sauce which may bo
approved of.
To EXPEL FLIES.—L>r. Hewsou, of
Philadelphia, *avs hanging branches of
mayweed or wiid chamomile in flower,
abont a room, will expel flies, or even
strewing the dried flowers atemt will ans
wer. Also, partially burn blaek pepper
by putting it oa a hot shovel. Throwing
a netting over the bed will keep them
out, no matter how large the meshe*. so
there is not a window or door behind the
bed, so that the light will shine directly
on it
HORSKS. —A correspondent makes the
sensible remark that. Winter or Summer,
excepting stormy times, there is no pla<v
so comfortable "for colts or tins! work
horses as s good pasture lot. To tie op
a horse at night in a narrow cell, with a
plunk floor to .stand on, is a species of
cruelty that civilisation ought to be
ashamed of. If the poor animal must
lie confined like a convict in a dungeon,
for pity'a sake let him have his head,
and give him at least twelve feet square,
with a soft dry floor to stand or lie on.
Do TOADS EAT BESS?— The writer,see
ing a large toad sitting upon the bottom
board in front of a hive of been, ap-
r roache*l him to see what he was doing,
n a few minutes he gobbled up three
honey-bees—worker*, not drones—aud
he would, doubtless, have taken more if
I had permitted. Wishing to teach him
a lesson which he would not soon forget,
I thrust his nose into the entrance of
the hive, when a score or more of the
bcea attacked hint with their sting*,' and
toady waddled off a wiser toad, no doubt,
than before he breakfasted upon bees.
CDOVTR FOB HOGS. —An Ohio hog
raiser advocates the system of pasturing
on clover daring the summer. He pre
sents, as the advantage of jthis plan, the
statement that an sere of ground in clo
ver will pasture five cows four months,
and that it will take the corn from half
an acre to feed them the same time.
The cultivation of the corn he counts
equal t* the rest of the other half acre.
He further claims that hogs pastured on
clover are in far better condition than if
fed on corn, as they are better framed,
healthier, and eat better, and also states
that the land is enriched by the clover
pasturing.
GOOD PLAN FOB A GARDEN.— The
fanner's fruit and vegetable garden
should be laid out so that most of the
cultivation can be done with a Horse. A
good arrangement would be to have a
atrip of greensward a rod wide at each
end. TLia wonld answer for a walk and
for the lioree to turn on in plowing and
cultivating. Grape vines might be
trained against the fence, or what wonld
be better, the fence itself should be a
hedge of Norway spruce. Make no beds
and few walks in the garden. Plant the
vegetables in rows extending from one
side to the other. The small fruits,
dwarf pears, and apples should be planted
on the same plan. There is then no
spading, and bat little hand-hoeing and
weeding. A one-horse steel plow is a
fine implement for the garden. Have a
tool-house in one corner or in the centre,
and have it well stocked. The garden
ing will be pleasant, easy and profitable.
SAFER KRACT FROM SFXVER CABJ
BAG c.—Having made, in my earlier days,
many barrels of sauer kraut from Sum
mer cabbage, I can confidently say that
one can also make it in the months of
July and August, and that it will keep as
well as that made in the Fall months,
provided he uses caution in keeping out
all partly decayed leaves or tny thing
approaching to it, in catting. Salt a
little more freely, and pack in sonnd and
air tight barrels. After filling the bar
reL or keg, the head must be well fitted
in again, and weak brine used to fill the
Elace of that which has escaped in re
calling the barrel My plan was to set
the barrel on one bead", and, having an
inch bole in the other, cover the entire
surface to the rim and allow it gradually
to fill in, taking sometimes several days.
When no more will be taken, bung
tightly and put in a moderately cool
place.
COBXXEAL FOB POCXTHT. —With a
great many persons who produce a large
or only a small quantity of poultry, the
feed of chickens, and all young poultry
in fact, consists solely of tine eornmeai;
and this is repeated feeding after feeding
and continued from the very first meal
till growth carries them to a point where
whole corn can be consumed, when the
latter is substituted. Many trom false
ideas of economy, delude themselves in
to the belief that corn, and corn alone,
constitutes the cheapest poultry food for
both chickens and adnlts because weight
considered,its market price is the lowest.
Such persons do not take the result into
consideration. If they did they would
arrive at a different conclusion, as the
fowls analyze the grain fully as well,
practically, as would the chemist. In
nitrogenous matter, an element that en
ters so largely into the composition of
bone and muscle into the growing chick
and the egg of the laying ben, corn is
deficient—its value as food consisting
rather in its fattening qualities. Owing
to the oil corn contains, it is heating in
its nature, and consequently,though de
sirable in cold weather, is to be avoided
in warm. Nevertheless, no one variety
of grain, however well embodying the
requisites of chicken food, can be solely
employed to the greatest profit. Wheat,
oats, barley, rye and Indian corn, if
ground together, will make excellent
feed for any kind of poultry. One bush
el ground and cooked, win make more
eggs and more flesh than two bushels of
grain fed whole.
A VALUABLE VEGETABLE.— Why do
farmers refuse to cultivate that very de
sirable vegetable—the Jerusalem arti
choke? It is true, that once in the
ground it is next to impossible to eradi
cate them. But then a vegetable that
grows so luxuriantly year after year
without the trouble and expense of re
seeding the ground ought to commend
itself to more general favor. It will
produce more than twice as many bush
els per acre as the potato, and "neither
rwts in the ground nor invites that ter
rible pest, the potato bug. It can be
dug 01- plowed out at any time when the
ground is not frozen, from September
to June. We advise every farmer to
devote an acre to their production. Ami
in doing so, we beg of you not to let
•your fears of injuring the crop and wast
ing your substance prevent yon from
plowing deeply and manuring heavily.
Plant in rows two feet apart each way,
an eye or a bit of the root in a place,
and if your ground is half decent, never
you fear that the crop will not come in
due season and pay yon abundantly. It
is the only vegetable but the Canada
thistle that needs but one seed time to
produce a succession of harvests, or
which flourishes all the better for hav
ing a breaking plow run throngb its
bed every spring. We have used them
only after they have been saturated with
vinegar, while others have gone so far
as to serve them upon the table as they
would potatoes. We have no doubt they
are quite as nutritious and healthy as
the potato. Cattle, horses, sheep and
hogs thrive even letter npon thorn than
npon the potato.
To MAKE A Cnar CELLAR Borrow.—
The Industrial Monthly give* tho follow
ing directions: In sections of the
country whore there is an abundance of
cobble-stones. collect a few loads of tliem
about four or five inches in diameter,
grade tho bottom of the collar, lay tho
cobbles in mn and ram them down
one-third their thickueaa into the
ground, that they will not rook nor be
sunk below the line of the rows by any
heavy superincumbent pressure, such as
the weiglit of a lmgshead of molasses
or tieree of vinegar. The bottom of
the cellar should be graded so that the
outside will I* at least two inches lower
than the middle. A mistake sometime*
oeonra by grading the eellar bottom in
such a manner that the centre will be
two or three inches lower than the out
side. When this is the ease, should
water enter from the outside, it will flow
dinvtlv toward* the middle. A straight
edged Vaird should In placed frequently
on each row of stoue* as they are U'ing
rammed so that the n|>er side may In in
a line with each o'her. After tlie stoue*
are laid and well rammed down, place a
few boards on the pavement to walk oa.
then make a grouting of clean aaud and
water lime, or Rosen dale cement, and
pour it on the stoue* uutii all the inter
stice* are filled. As soou as the grout
ing has act, spread a layer of good
cement matter. 1 iuoh thick over the
top of the pavement, and trowel the
surface off smoothly, Iu order to spread
the mortar true ami even on the surface,
lay au inch board one foot from the wall
l on the surface of the pavement, stand
ou the board and fill the space with
mortar eveu with the top of the Karvl ;
after which, move the board one foot,
fill the space with mortar, and trowel it
ofl smoothly. Such a floor will cost less
than a Kami floor, and will endure as
long aa the superstructure is kept in re
pair. A floor made iu the foregoing
manner on the grouud in the basement
of a barn, a piggery, or a stable, would
lie rat-proof, and would be found
cheaper and more serviceable than a
plank floor. The work should K done
m the former part of the growing
season, so that the cenieut tnav have
sufficient time to become dry and hard
before cold weather.
Settling the QneeUen.
One of the Granges of the Patrous of
Husbandry, in lowa, is undertaking the
work of reform by adopting the follow
ing preamble and resolution:
II Wens, One of UIE most serious
causes of complaint the farmer has is
the misrepresentations presented to him
in advertisements; therefore,
JiMofco/, That we as a Grange will give
our support and influence to such news
paper* and periodicals as will admit no
advertisements to their columns, unless
satisfied of the good character of the
advertiser, and bis ability to perform all
he may promise.
We tecognize the right of any man or
claas of men to adopt and act upon such
a resolution as that given above, savs
•Voorr's Rural jfor I wrier. But the
paper which attempts the task of meet
ing the ideas of such men will have a
good time of it. Suppose, for example.
Mr. J. A. Freeman, the Secretary of the
Grange adopting the foregoing resolu
tion, should send us an adiortisement of
Chester White pig*, or Brahma fowls.
We do not know Mr. J. A. Freeman—
never heard of him before; don't know
whether he has got a pig, or a fowl, nor
whether he knows a Chester White from
a Berkshire, or a Brahma from a Bantam.
If we were to attempt to please the
patrons he represents, we should be com
peded to write to some one of them for
information; and even then, not know
ing any of them, we would not know
whether their information was correct
or not. Our only alternative would In
to send an agent, in whom we could
trust, to lowa to see if Mr. J. A. Free
man really owned a pig or a fowl, and
was able to supply the demand that
might be made upon him in case we in
serted his advertisement. Then we
should have to investigate his character
also. Meantime poor Freeman is wait
ing for us to insert his advertisement,
and those who desire to purchase pigs
or fowls may have purchased elsewhere.
This is a fair sample of what these
Patrons of Hnsbandrv (and of news
papers?) require publishers to do in
order that they, in their stnpiditv, may
be protected. In other words, they do
not desire to make the effort or exercise
the judgment or discretion common
among good business men, but require
newspaper publishers to shoulder the
burden ol protecting them. Then sup
pose that the agent we send out to see
the pig* reports favorably, we insert
Mr. Freeman's advertisement, Jim Jones
sends for a pig. is disappointed in it,
and writes us blowing ns np b<an*e our
agent's and Jim Jones' judgment differs!
Then of course he, as an honest patron,
drops our paper at once! Hadn't these
lowa Patrons better acquire a little com
mon sense ss a means of salvation from
the dishonesty there is in this benighted
world.
AFTEB-DINNBB NAPS.— Many persons,
particularly the middle-aged and elderly,
allow 'hemselves this real indulgence;
and the custom, if not carried to excess,
is by many medical men considered
beneficial rather than otherwise, as, by
keeping the body in a state of qnietnde,
digestion is promoted and aasisted. In
Southern countries, the mid-day sleep,
termed the tiesta, is almost universally
taken, and wonderfully refreshes the
frame enervated and weakened by the
intense beat It is, however, recom
mended that snch sleep be not indulged
in to too great a length, as persons in
variably find such prolonged slnmbers
in the daytime causes them to wake dull,
irritable and nnrefreshed; while most
have experienced, on having been acci
dentally roused up, a few minutes after
absolute forget fulness, a sensation of
lightness and renewed vigor, unattended
by jieevishness or the least desire to
sleep again. Medical men. in sanction
ing the indulgence, particularly advise
that it be taken iu a reclining posture,
but by no means lying horizontally, the
stomach in the latter position, pressing
on the intestines and causing the blood
to be impelled to the head. Corpulent
persons and those who have a tendency
to apoplexy, should be particularly
mindful of this point.
MBAXTTO KNOW.— Two Pittsfield law
yers, journeying from Springfield westward
a tew days since, happened to sit in front
of a foreigner and his wife who were little
versed in American travel, and fearfnl o(
going wrong. At the first station the
foreigner interrupted the lawyers conver

FISHING. —Some shrewd but not very
sportsmanlike fishers on Lake Erie have
adopted a veiy effectual wuy of catching
fish by exploding nitro-glycerine under
the surface of the lake,and thereby mur
dering their game in large quantities.
The expedient,expressly for this purpose,
may be a new one, but some years ago
when Diamond Reef, between New York
and Governor's Island was removed,
nitao-glycerine was used, and so many
fish were stunned or killed by the con
cussion that the workmen were abund
antly supplied with them, and many
were allowed to go to waste.
Copper toed fans are sold for the ben
efit of young ladies who have' no one to
love, and who clicw the stuffing out of
any other kind in one evening when |i
hop is ia progress.
A Gentleman Thief.
The history of flording. who stole ths
mail-bag from the New Rush, Mouth
Africa, post-office, containing four or
five hundred thousand dollars' worth of
diamonds heaides a large amount of
ready money and checks, is remarkable
in more ways than one. The culprit is
the younger son of a gentleman resid
lug in Surrey, F.nglninl, When he left
college young Harding was fitted to
shine as a man of leisure, hut not to suc
ceed as a man of bunine**, Indeed, it
seems that to go into hu*inees at all wa*
never contemplated by hiiu. Harding's
idleness soon tevamo intolerable to him
self. He stilicited permission, which was
gladly granted we may ha sine, to go to
South Africa. Perhaps ho had vague
visions of making w fortune by diggiug
diamonds. Such a hope was proper
enough in its way at a distance, but when
he reached the spot it soon cam a to
naught. Harding did nothing-could
get nothing to do. He rcalixi-d hilly the
scriptural description of another jieraon.
" He could not dig, and to K-g he was
ashamed." Hut unfurtuuntoly he was
not ashamed to steal. He filched £IOO
from his room-mate, a Mr. lteauclerek,
and left Cape Town for the Diamond
Field*. While there he learned that *
warrant was out for his arrest on a ootu
idaint for theft. What could he do? He
sits standing in the vicinity of the |o*t
oftice, and th- post-master and his at sis
taut leaving the building Iwfore hi* eyes
suggested away of escape. A mail-lut#
would *:irely coutnin one huudred
pouinU! It is robbing Peter to )>ay I'aal;
inn then Peter, here menniug the public,
can better aflurit to lose the amount than
Paul, and beaidee no one will know the
roblier of the mail-hag—this was the
illusion—while every une would heur of
the tliiet of one hundred pound* when
produced in court. Hawing reasoned
quite speciously that he would by pur
suing such a course, keep his own Kwly
•ut of jail and save his faintly from the
resulting disgrace.
This " gentleman " robber appears to
be s man in many respect* of fine organ
isation. No Hamlet is he. What hi*
head communis hi* hands execute, aud
at the moment. He did not procra*fi
liate. He did not eveu wait to see
whether auv one was watching him.
He advanced to the window of the post
office, broke a pane of glass, opened the
sash, and without the slightest tiepida
tiou took out the mail-bag. and having
concealed it walked off. He woa not in
error as to finding one hundred pound*
—he found wore than a thousand when
he opened the bag in his tent at Du
Toit * Pan. But he found iu the bag
what he had not thought of. Two thoua
and three hundred aud seventy-four
diamonds of all weights, from eiglitv
nin<> carat* down, and of all degrees of
brilliancy, vera spread K-fi<re his tsaae.
Ou meeting Mr. Beauelerek, Harding,
after denying at first the theft, offered to
settle the matter by paying £"JtO. This
the former refused, as he wauted ouly
his own money. Harding counted out
one hnndrcd guineas, and this circum
stance led to the suspicion which finally
stamped him a* the diamond robber. He
worked on at Da Toit's Pun for some
time, but finally left for Cape Town,
after having concealed hi* diamonds iu
the barrel of hi* gun. His arrest just
before leaving in the Syria for England,
and his bearing when arraigned—cool,
without effroutery—have been fully dp
scribed.
SOCTHEKX LANDS. —The Internal Rev
enue Office at Washington, has issued a
circular stating tkat all lands now owned
or held by the United States, by virtue
of proceedings under an act entitled an
act for the collection of direct taxes iu
the insurectionary districts within the
United States and for other pur}wees,

of the President of the United States
have been reserved for military or naval
purposes, or such lot of land ou Hunting

must be made withiu two years from
June 8, 1872. The provision is for the
redemption of lands sold for direct taxes.
The claims to be made under the regula
tions will come principally from the
States of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Florida, and will, it is sup
posed, exceed a thousand in number.
HIKCULAB WARFARE.—A letter from
Honduras says that San Salvudoriuti
troop* commanded by Mendina, alias
Mendincta, occupied Oiuoa, HoDduraa.
The town itself was defenceless, and was
aoon in the hands of the Sau Sulvador
ians. A llondtirian tort fired on the
town killing seven Sau Salvadorians.
Some of the balls penetrated the British
Consulate and other buildings. The
San Sulvadonans then took the women
and children of the town, including the
wife of the President of Honduras, and
placed them in the main street where
they all remained as hostages, the San-
Salvadorians threatening to shoot them
unless the forts surrendered. The Hon
dnrian commander surrendered. Men
dineta forced the International Railway
employes into his service, taking posaes
sion of the road and suspending work
and the running of trains. The San
Salvadorian troops are demoralized, ami
it is feared they will commit outrages
on the people. Pillaging is already in
augurated. Mendincta has compelled
acting President Cereseencio (>om'j to
nominate kirn (Mendineta) as Presi
dent of Honduras. The Hondnrians
were averse to the inauguration, ami
none were present at the ceremrpiies,
while many fled to the woods. Jose
Maria Medina, the real President of
Honduras, is near Han Pedro, and likely
to attack Omoa. The British and Span- j
bh consuls ask for war vessels to protect
the interests of the British ami Spanish
subjects.
BLUNDER OF A NOVELIST.—A French
eorriwpondcnt of the Nation telle how
Punl 1* eval, one of the moat popular of
these sensational novelists used to write
three or fqur novels at the name time for
various papers. In order to find bin way
in the labyrinth of his own imagina
tion, he had a number of small dolls fur
each story, strung together in the dress
of their role—monks, kings, dnchesses,
soldiers, etc. His valet brought him
the string of the novel he was working
at, and eneh time one of the personages
was killed or died the corresponding (toll
was taken off. One day the valet forgot
to take away the doll of the personage
who hud rome to grief and had fall'.n 111
a duel. The result was that the editor
of the paper in which the novel appeared
was soon surprised to receive a number
of angry letters demanding to see bow it
was tbut Monsieur 80 und-so, who was
killed a moDth before, had come to life
again!
REMEDY FOR CORNS.— When a young
man, says a correspondent of the Country
() nlleman, I used to lie very much
amoved by those painful excrescences
called 44 corns," 011 the toes and feet,
until I was told of a very simple but
effectual remedy for them by some per
son. It was to batlie the feet in tepid
water, to soften them; then pare them
off very closely with a sharp knife; then
rub on well green peach-tree leaves ;
when, after continuing the rubbing once
or twice a day, the corns will entirely
disappear, and not return, without the
cause which first occasioned them. I have
often tried the remedy, and never found
it to fail yet. It seems to be the pmssic
acid in tfie peach-tree leaves that takes
them away.
A Pennsylvania paper suggests that
farmers post their names at their door
yard gates in srder to gratify the curiosi
ty of the trailing public.
The Heaven* Ablate.
The sun bad hardly set, any* a Now
York pa|>er, when the soft peculiar light
of the aurora boreali* began to manifest
itself iu the northern part of the sky. At
this period, aud up to 104 o'clock, it pre
sented tbe appoarnuce of a eoft luminous
cloud, with a just perecptible green
tinge. This gradually increased in site
until it filled the entire hemisphere from
west l> east. The luminous mya grew
also brighter, but it was not until 10|
o'clock that anything special about it
was observed, although its extent was
indeed something uniisralh led. At that
hour pencils of light itegan to shoot from
the kctlitli, the place from which they
darted (wing surrounded by bunt clouds
of electric light, a loch were extremely
beautiful, but ao very slight that the
quite small stars could lie soon through
lactu. The jnile green atiovc the hori
aoiv now glow stronger mnl stronger
until it was of a deep emerald hue of a
purity and splendor impossible to de
scribe. This formed an mimeuse ureh,
not porfeet iu configuration, but Urokeu
and wavering. Above this there was a
sjaice of clear sky, which seamed quite
dark from contrast, aud alaivb this lucre
was another emerald roue of a somewhat
leas pronounced color. The rays oflight
lieeamc now unusually bright and ap|a
reuUy of a pure white, though tliia mar
have been by contrast They were at
ttrat narrow, but quickly they became
broad bauds, reaching from the xenith
clear down to the emerald rones. And
aow above these xonea the sky became a
pale roseate color, which deepened mo
-1 to-utsnly until it was blood ml. Then
the broad baud* Iwcame tmged witii
these colors and had the appearance of
immense M-arves. but they did uot long
remain, for they quickly disappeared,
and were replaced by vivid pencils of
light which came aud went quicker thau
the eye could follow. Along these p-n
--cils, which were divided from each other
by deep corresponding shadows, the
light aeemed to wrander up and down in
tremulous waves with a quick sort of ebb
aud flow. This magnificent phantasma
goria lasted some twenty minutes, and
entirely coastal by 11 o'clock.
AMMALM I* CAUTOBXIA.—I fottinl
that it ia oue of the advantages fhe

a hundred mile* with a pair of horses
which did not in the whole diatance re

in the open plain; they ate themselves
full during the night, aud kept fat.

Bv the way, it ia told here that two

Among the vounger cattle on tlie plains

saved by this arrtuigeiucut. The express
companies demand at least 4<> cents for
the transportation of a package, how
ever small, for any distance. The Post
office authorities, on the other hand,
will forward a twelve ounce package to
San Francisco for twelve cents. For in
stance, a jMxir of boots, if neither boot
weighs more than the specified twelve
ounces, may be wrapped up in two *ep
arate parcels, and sent acroas tlie conti
nent for 24 cents; whereas, under tbe
old plan the transportation of goods of
this description would have cost almost
more money tluui they were worth. Dp
to the present time the post office has
lost money by the new system, owing to
the fact that the general public has uot
taken advantage of it to such an extent
as to make it remunerative. Bnt it is
expected that when the advantages of
the system are tborougly appreciated
tbe scheme will prove aa profitable to
the Government as it is beneficial to the

The Tbce Roa to Rtccesk. — l The
value of advertising lias been time and
again a subject of remark. The great
business interests that have been built
up among tis within the last quarter of
a century owe their existence in a great
measure, to liberal, nnd yet judicious
nse of advertising through the columns
of the newspaper. Take, for instance
the financial houses in the lower part of
town that have made it a point to nse
the newspaper as a mnlinm of informa
tion to the public of their business, and
whose names are familiar to every news
paper reader. People seeking railroad
investments recur as naturally to the
name as they would to Dolmonieo'a in
ease they wanted a dinner. The forego
ing aliow indisputably that men who have
a <kie appreciation of printer's ink inva
riably lead the van in the rnee for wealth
and high eommereial position. Had
these eminent firm* Ix-cu content to Jo
business in the old bole and comer style
of the musty merchants of half a een
tury ago, they would have sunk to the
level of mere "exchange brokers, and vast
bunking and railroad enterprises wonhl
have t>een projected by men more iu
accord with the journalistic spirit of the
age.— Ktw York Paper.
A DESERTED TOWN.— "One day, in

a writer, "we were following, as usual,
a herd of Buffalo, when wc came upon
a town standing silent and deserted in
tho middle of the prairie. ' That, 1 mud
the American, 'is Kearney City. It did
a good trade in theold wagon times; but
it busted tip when the railroad went on
farther West. The people moved on to

there's only one man left in it now, and
he's got snakes in his l>oots the hull

the silent city, we rode on. One house
showed traces of oeenjmtion, and in this
house dwelt the man. We had passed

Snake-Taming In England.
A •orro*pondant of flie London 7Sm*i
tells this story: I happened to know
th gentleman and lady agwinat whom a
complaint was rreontly made because of
the snakes they keep, and I should like
to give a short accouut of my first visit
to them. Mr M.. after we had talked
for a little time, asked if 1 hud tiny fear
of anakea, aud after a timid 11 No, not
very" from roe, he produced out of a
cupboard a large boa constrictor, a py
thou, and several small sunken, which st
once made themselves at home on the
writing table uuioug pens, ink, and
tMMika. 1 waa at first a good deal star
tled, especially whan the two large Miuk*
colli d round and rouud my friend, and
tiegau to notice me with tlicir briulit
eyes and forked tougtiea ; but uoou find
ing how tame they were 1 ceased to feel
frightened. After a short time Mr. M.
expressed a wish to call Mrs. M. and
left nie with the boa deposited on an
arm chair. I felt a little queer when
the reptile began gradually to coma
near, but the entrance of niy host and
hostess, followed by two eliurtning little
children, put nie at my ease again.
After the first interchange of civilities
she and the children went at once to the
boa, and, calling it by the most endear
ing mane, allowed it to twine itself moat
gracefully about them. 1 sat talking for
a long time lost iu wonder at llie picture
before me. Two IM-autiful little girls
with their charming mother sat liefore
nie with a boa constnetor (as thick rouud
us a small tree), twiniug playfully rouud
the lady's waist aud neck, and forming
a kind of turlum rouud her head, expect
ing to le jietUnl aud made much of like
a kitten. The children over and over
again took its head in their hands, and
kissed its mouth, pushing aside its forked
touguc iu doing so. The reptile seemed
much please*!, but kept turning its head
continually towards me wtth a curious
guxe, until 1 allowed it to ueatle its
head for a moment up my sleeve. Noth
ing could lie prettier than to see this
splendid serpen I coiled all round Mrs.
M. while she movwd sUmt the room, and
w-heu she stood to pour out our coffee.
Ha seemed to adjust his weight so nicely,
aud every oil with its beautiful marking
was relieved by the black velvet dress of
the lady. It was lung before I could
make up my mind to end the visit, and
1 returned soon after with a friend (a
distinguished M. P.) to see my snake
tammg acquaintance again.
About a year ago Mr. ami Mrs. M. were
away for six weeks, and left the boa in*
charge of a keeper at the Zoo. The
jrnor reptile moiled, slept, aud refused
to la* comforted, but when hia master
and mistress appeared, he sprang upon
them with delight, coiliag himself round
them, itnd allowing every symptom of

Meter.— John ia superintendent of
the gas-works in a small town. John ia
illiterate, and perhaps never but once in
his life went to church. The meter at
the church needed renewing, and this
John attended to, resolving to attend
church to see if he could detect any
smell of gun. After aun"uuuug the
hymn, the minister prooeodeJ to bin me
the gas company for not doing a better
job of gas-fitting (any onecouht siuell the

the hyuiu thus : "No. 10.19, C. M."
John took thLs to heart. Said he to a
friend afterward : "He abused the gas
company more than they deserved."
"Not more than they deserved ? Why
do vou think so V" answered his friend.
"I'll tell you. He said what was not so.
lie said the number of the meter waa
1050, and 1 know it's 654 ; and worse
'an all he said it was a common motor,
but I know it's a first class one, 'cause I
put it up myself."
Manners.— Before yon bow to a lady
iu the street, permit her to decide wheth
er you shall do so or not, by at least a
look of recognition. "Excuse my glove*"
is an nnnecessary apology, for the glove
should not he withdrawn to shake hand*.
When your companion hows to a lady,
you should do so also. When a gentle
man bows to a lady in your company,
always bow to him in return. A letter
must be answered unless you wish to in
timate to flic writer that he or his object
is beneath your notice. A visit must he
returned in like manner even though no
intimacy is intended. A smiling counte
nance is pleasant, but excess of laughter
should be avoided, especially when it is
possible for aay one to suppose himself
derided by lb Whispering is always of

Too STRICT. —The Ht Petersburg!!
(Suettit tells a story which Illustrates the
stringency of Russian passport regula
tions. The village of Volotehlk, on the
Oalician frontier, was s week or two ago
surprised by a tire. Of course there was
no engine in the place. Prompted by a
feeling of neighborly charity, the Austrian
town of Brody dispatched its corps of
firemen with all speed to the assistance
of the distressed village. They made for
the frontier at a brisk gallop, but on arri
ving there, they were stopped by the
Donane soldiers and gruffly reminded of
their omtnission to provide themselves
with passports for the nocturnal trip.
The could not therefore bo permitted to
cross the frontier, but had to return to
Brody, their way home being lighted up
by the flames which they had set out to
quench.
BWRARINO.—A little five-year-old boy
was lwing instructed in morals by his
grandmother. The old lady told him
that all snch terms as " by golly," "by
iiugo," "by thunder," Ac., were only
little oaths, nnd but little better than
other profanities. Iu fact, she said, be
could tell n profane oath by the prefix
"by." AH Hiteh were oaths. "Well,
then, grandmother,"said the little hope
ful, "is •by telegraph,' which I see in
the newspapers, swearing ?" " No,"
said the old lady, " that's only lyiug."
A MODERATE FARMER.— John Minges,
near Grayson,in the Ban Joaquin Valley,
will send to market from his ranch, this
year. 4,000 tuns of wheat. This is • ver
133,000 bnshe s, and enough to keep a

of flour per day. This seems to Eastern

Farmivo. —Farmers have seen hard
times for s few years past, and a higher
| range of prices will not hurt us. The
i ieaon that we, as farmers, have to learn
I is not to be discouraged, but to keep on
i the even tenor of our ways, studying how
I to improve our farina to cheapen the cost
iof production, to raise sneh crops and
I keep such atoek as are adapted to oar
soils and situations, to aell when we can
get reasonable price# and be content with
profits, and not rnsh into every new thing
that for the tune Wing is bringing an ex
travagant price. There is seldom s year,
when a good, steady going, enterprising
intelligent fanner who works his land
thoroughly and Improves his stock has
not something to sell that affords a good
profit. If pork ia low, wool is high ; if
beef is cheap, wheat is dear. If corn can
not be sold for what it costs t* produce it
lie knows that in well ventilated corn
cribs it will keep for any length of time.
Some yeara ago 1 was offered corn in the
streets of Hloomington, 111., for "nine
cents cash per bushel, and ten cents in
trade." In less than two years I was in
Illinois again, and asked the price of corn
in tho same neighborhood, and was an
swered "one dollar and ten cents per
bushel." Of course such fluctuations are
demoralizing. Hut we must make the
best of our situation. —Agi-icaUvritt.
VOLCANIC Eur max.—A week lief ore
the recent great eruption of Vesuvius,
Merapi, the great volcano of Java, which
hud Wn quiescent since 1 WO, gave signs
again of activity. On the evening of
the lftth of April It threw out a stream
of lava which buried villages, filled np
abysses, nnd checked rivers in their
course. The lied of a river upon whose
banks, eighty feet in height, cveiy tree
and shrub wits burnt up, was filled up to
the depth of fifteen feet with lava. In
the villages below many people perished,
but of those living in the higher alti
tudes little in known, ns the mountains
are still inaccessible. Showers of ashes,
stones, nnd sand followed the eruption
and added to the desolation. In many
places the sand and ashes lay four feet
deep, canning great damage to the coflee
and other plants. In Solo, the rain of
ashes lasted three long days, and caused
snch durkness that lights had to be burnt
all through the day. Slight shocks of
earthquake accompanied tho outbreak.
From the latest accounts 200 corpses—
probably but a portion of the unhappy
sufferers—had been fonnd. One woman,
who had been miraculously saved,
brought the news that ont of her whole
village, composed of 190 people, she
was tho only one who had escaped alive.
