A New York Fireman's Brave Deed,
In September, 1868, the residenee of
James Gordon Bennett, tounder of the
New York Herald, was on tire. Theac-
tion of the New York fire department: on
that occasion prompted Mr. Bennett to
piace in the hands of three trustees, on
April 13,1860, 81,500, the income of which
they were directed to use in procuring
annually a gold medal, to be struck from
a die, and centerred on the fireman who
may be hest entitled ro that reward. Al
though but ven vears have elapsed since
Mr. Benrett placed this teust in the
keeping of the trustees they have had
made and presented fourteen medals,
Daniel J. Meagher, foreman of a hook
and ladder company, was the last re-
eipient of the medal; the story of the
brave act for which it was awarded to

Immensity of the Stars,
It is known that the stars are true
suns, that some of them are larger than
our own sun, and that around these
enormous centers of heat and light re-
volve planets on which life certainly
exists. Our sun is distant from us 38,-
000,000 leagues, but these stars are dis-
tant at least 500,000 times as far-—a dis-
t.nce that, in fact, is incommensarable
and u.imaginable for us. Viewed with
the unaided eye, the stars and the planets
look aiike; that is, appear to have the
same diameter. But, viewed through a
telescope, while the planets are seen to
possess clearly appreciable diameters,
the stars are still only mere luminous
points The most powerful of existing
telescapes, that of Melbourne, which
magnities 8 000 times, gives us ap image
of one of our planets possessing an ap-
sarent diameter of several degrees,
Jupiter, for instance, which seen with
th® naked eye. appears as a star of the
first 1 agnitude, with a diameter of
forty-five degrees at the Jmost, will in
the telescope have its diameter muiti-
plied 8,000 times, and will be seen as if
it occupied in the heavens an angle of
100 degrees. Meanwhile a star along-
side of Jupiter. and which ‘o the ey:
is us bright as that planet, will still be a
simple dimensionless point. Neverthe-
less, that star is thousands of times more
voluminous than the planet. Divide
the distance between us and that planet
by 8,000, and you lave for result a dis-
tance reiatively very smail; but divide
by 8,000 the enormous number of leagues
which represents the distance of a star,
and there remain a number of leagues
too great to permit of the stars being
seen by us in a perceptible form. In
considering Jupiter or any of the planets,
we or “led with wonder at the thought
that 1.15 ii le luminous point might
hide not only all the visible stars, but a
number 5,000 fold greater—for cf stars
visible fo our eyes there are only about
stellations, as the Great Bear, Cassi-
opeia, Orion, Andromeda, all the stars
of the zodiac, even all the stars which
are visible only from the earth's south-
ern hemisphere might be set in one
plane, side by side, with no one over-
lapping another. even without the
slightest contact between star and star,
and yet they would cecupy so small a
space that, were it to be multiplied by
5,000 fold, that space would be entirely
covered by the disk of Jupiter, albeit
that disk to us seems to he an inappre-
ciable point.—Prof."J. Vinol.

Growing Onions.
This crov was tormerly regarded as
a profitable one, and large guantities
werd grown in some localities. Within
the past few years the onion maggot has
pre ved to be a great pest to the onion,
an! many fields have been greatly in-
juved or wholly destroyed, so that some
farmers have become in a measure dis-
couraged, and do not attempt to grow
them as formerly, In some localities a
ni-dew has injured this crop to a con-
siderable extent. Notwithstanding
these drawbacks, as a rulé a good crop
can be secured when all the conditions
are favorable. The onion requires a
rather light loamy soil made mellow by
plow or spade. Formerly it was the
rule to grow them on the same land
many years in succession, but many of
the best growers have abandoned this
practice, and now change about every
second or third year.
The land should be heavily manured
with well rotted dressing, with wood
ashes if it can be had, all of which
should be turned under. The land
should then be well raked over and
made smooth, and as free as possibile
from lumps. The seed should be sown
, as early as possible after the soil is suit-
! able to work. Sow in drills about four-
teen to sixteen inches apart, and put the
about half an inch deep. This
work can be done with a seed sower,
and the seed should be sown quite
thickly so as to allow for some loss by
insects, If there are too many plants
left it will not be difficult to remove
them, but ifthe land has been thoroughly
enriched they may be left pretty near
together—say an inch apart. No weeds
sheuld be allowed to grow. The work
of keeping them down can be mostly
done with ascuffle hoe, and very repidiy
too
There are many varieties, but one of
the best, if not the very best, is the Dan-
vers vellow, a variety that is largely
cultivated in Essex county and has solid
weil in Boston mark.t. The large red
and silver skin are sorts that do well
and find a ready market, but still we
give the preference to the Danvers,
These varieties should yield under good
cultivation six to eizht hundred bushels
to the acre, and sell from} seventy-five
cents to a dollar a bushel, We know of
nothing that can be used that will
effectually prevent the ravages of the
maggot or mildew. One must take the
chances. We know of few more profit-
able than the onion.-—/. F. C.

| Household Hints.
To Wasa Rep Tarvie laxex.—Use
tepid water, with a littie powdered
borax (borax sets the color); wash the
linen separately and quickly, using very
little soap; rinse in tepid water con-
taining a littis boiled starch; hang to
dry in the shade; iron when almost
dry.
To Creaxse Op Crorues.—The
most effective way, without injury to
the clothes by scrubbing, is to steep
them in warm water for about half an
hour, sind use horax soap, rubbing it
well on the most soiled parts; wash
well in hot water and rinse two or times
n cold. The clothes will be whiter and
weeter than by any other soap.
Morus ix Canrers .~-Moths will work
in rooms that are kept warm in the
winter as well as in summer. A sure
method of remaving the pests is to pour
strong alum water on the floor to the
distance of half a yard around the edges
before laying the carpets. Then once or
twice during the season sprinkle dry
salt over the carpet before sweeping.
Insects do not like salt, and sufficient
adheres to the carpet to prevent their
slighting upon it.
To CrLeaxsE LACE AND EMBROIDERED
Must Currains.—Wash them care
fully, rinse thoroughly, and starch
them. Then have two narrow boards,
as long or longer than the curtains, with
strips of cloth or wide tape tacked on
their entire length. Place them out of
doors en chairs, as you would quilting
frames, and carefully pin the wet cur-
tain between, stretching it until it is
entirely smooth. Ewery point and seal-
lop should be pulied in shape and fast.
ened down. When one curtain is dry
fill its place with another. This method
of drying them is better than pinning
them to a sheet fastened to the carpet on
the floor. Drying in the open air, then
are cleaner and sweeter,
How the Ute Indians Live.
The Utes, who massacred Agent
Meeker in Colorado, live principally on
bread and meat. When they can’t get
| bread they live on meat, and when they
can't get meat they live on bread.
When they have a great quaatity of pro-
| visions on hand they eat it all up before
getting any more, The same is true
when they have a small quantity on
and. They are dirty. They are even
very dirty. Their meat is general y
permitted to iie about on the ground or
ary piwe. Each Indian family pos-
sesses any number of dogs, from eight
to fifteen, and these an‘mals help them-
gelves to the ment. After they have
i satisfied themselves, and when the In-
dians become hungry, they cut out of this
same piece on which the dogs feed.
They generally boil their meat, but
sometimes they broil it. They put it in
water and let it remain only a few
minutes, just long enough to heat, when
they take it out and begin to eat. They
use the same water and same pai for
beiling over and over again until the
water becomes a perfect slime of filth.
One pot generally does service for the
sntire family. This particular pot is a
frying pan. When the Utes get out of
bed they wash their faces and bathe the
{ buby in it,.after wlich they bake the
| bread and boil the meat. Then they

From Country to Ulty. |

with regard to such a * change of ae,’
and the matter seems Mon 1 the few
words a careful and Cane id observer
may have to say about iL.
After looking into the various causes
which influence people in the country
to seek removal to the city, Dr. Holland
says: Now, it has probably surprised
most inquirers to receive uniformly dis.
couraging answers to their questions,
For, indeed, no man knows the trials of
city life but those who have left quiet
homes in the country and tried it. The
great trial that every man from the
country experiences on coming to the
sity, even supposing he bas found em
ployment, or gone into business, relates
to his home, His thousand dollars a
year, which in tae country would give
him a snug little house ant comfortable
provision, would get him in the city only
a small room in 8 hoarding-house Ihe
two thousand dollars that would give
him something more than acomfortable
heme in the country, would give him
in the city only a better boarding-house,
Fhe three thousand doliam that would
give him ia the country a fdr establish-
ment. with horses for his tonvenience
and amusement, would in the eity only
give him a small * flat ‘in a crowded
apartment-house, and the five thousand
dollars in the country that would give
him the surroundings of a nabob, would
only pay the rent of a house on Fifth
avenue. The country rich man can
live splendidly on from five fo ten thou
sand dollars a year, while the city rich
man spends from twenty thousand to
fifty thousand dollars a year. City in.
comes look large, but relatively to city
expenses they are no larger than the
country incomes. The man who lives
in the city has experienced the remedi-
less drain upon his purse of the life
which he lives, and feels that the risk
which a business man runs of coming
into unknown circumstance Is very
great. He feels that unless 18s conutry
friend knows just how he if going to
meet that drain, he will be safer where
he is. City life is naturally merciless,

for it is an every-day affair and the
victim knows perfectly well tint he can
neither help himselt nor get anybody
else to belp him. So the city friend,
knowing the risks and the nee ol city
life, dreads to see any countty friend
undertake them. Then, too, tle faith-
ful records of city life shows that the
chances are largely against nancial
success in it.
The man of society who is #tracted
from the country to the city usually
fails to calculate his own Tnsigiificance
when he encounters numbers I'he

try needs only to go to the cit! to find

in society to maintain his peition.
City society is full of brightand psitive

No Good Preaching.
No man can do a good job of work,
preach a good sermon, try a lawsuit
well, doctor a patient, or write a good
article when he feels miserable and
dull, with sluggish brain and unsteady
nerves, and none should make theat

Nothing Like Paper, |
The old adage used to be, ** nothing
like ieather.” TItshould now be, * noth-
ing like paper.” Paper is used for al- |
most everything. Among the things |
made of paper exhibited at the Berlin |
exhibition not long since, were paper
buckets, *‘ bronzes,” urns, asphalt roof-
ing, water cans, carpets, skirts, whole |
suits of clothing, jewelry, material for |
garden walks, window curtains, lan- |
terns and pocket-handkerchiefs. The |
most striking of the many ohjects ex |
hibited in this material was, perhaps, a
fire-stove, with a cheerful fire burning
in it. There were newly-invented rail.
way carriages and chimney pots, flour
barrels, cottage walls, roofing tiles, and
briexs and dies for stamping. all made
of paper. Attention has frequently been
ealled to the value of ordinary sheets of
paper as a substitute for bedclothes, or,
at least, an addition to bedclothes.
The iden seems to have suggested the
fabrication of ‘blankets from the
cheap material, and if all that is said of
them is true, they ought to be exten:
sively used.~ Defroit Free Press.
