bRIFTWOOD. A s ritosvonsrn of• an improved con struction is to b@ tried at Paris - for teach ing pupils the pronunciation bf4fficult wont' iu foreign languages. - Ordiniry fruit acids are said ; to act upon tin; and _ one case is -reported ,in which persons. were made violently sick from eating - fruit preserved in tin cans, no foreign substance except the tin being found in the fruit. SI WSVILLE Tuomrsox has estimated that the pressure upon a man's body at a depth of 12,000 feet beneath the surface of the sea would be equal to a weight of twenty locomotives, each. with a train loadcd'with pig iron. ESEINF-NT' oculists having pronounced the readim, , ot Germatt.text to be injuri ions to the eyes, the Berneie government tcsolved to discontinue its use as .much as, possible, and all their official an , „nouneements will henceforth be printed exclusively in Roma& characters. Exciv.vrioNs commenced a short dis tance from the walls of Pompeii, with a view of ascertaining the nature of the sur rounding of the city, have led to the dis covery, within an area of a few square yards, of thirty skeletons, ten of which were huddled together in one room of a guburbauvillas` BracClets, neckla ces, ear-rings, and other objects, were found uron the bones.- A warren ill the Jetta' Ath World points out that, contrary to the received, idea, the elder liabbins of the Talmud taught that the world was round: - This is stiown by a passage in which, in•discushii3g 41ol atiy, the figures holding in the hand a a bird or a globe were tbe!iaton symbolizes _the dominion of the world, the bird that the World lies be oath it, and the globe is forbidden be: cause it L resernbles the form of the world • itself. ACCORDING to the studies of M. Hebert, the—storms . which reach the European coast from America originate fur the most part in Mexico, •Central America, and the northei tr - parts of South America; but they du not generally strike the Atlantic; until-they have traversed 'a more or less extended part of the length of the North American continent. The storms which • originate in the United States reach Greenland, or pass the noighborhood of Iceland or the Faro Islands, too far away to effect Europe. _ . INA paper: on the organs of smell in in seers: Gustare'llause describes several in Westing experiments. Numerous species of insects, on approaching vessels contain ing turpentine, or oxetic acid,- showed— Lt retreating and moving their autrinal distinct perception of the• smell. Af ter the ends of the.antenme had :been cut' oft, the same insects placed close to the ves.zeis appeared quite insensible. to the otiors. A number of which had been attracted by a piece of Putrid mea showed no inclination tb apprOach it after poi tams of the antenna: had been cut off. THE obscure poison which produtes hy drophobia has been known to lie intent in the human system for years before de vseloping its fatal results. M. Pasteur de clare?: the stipposition to be wcll . support, el that the virus does develop 'in certain organs, and not, as in other similar mala dies, in the. blood ; anA that when—after a period .s;:aiable according to circum stances—the organized poison passes into the-bloocl severe symptioms come on rap idly, and the..victim noon dies. An expla 'llation_substantiallY the saute as this had long been advanced as a mere theory, but now - M. Pasteur advances it as au ascer tained physiological fact. A. criuors experiment in heat is per formed with an apparatus devised by Dr. Grassi. The apparatus consists of three concentric vessels, separated:.by annular spaces of about three-fonfths of an inch. The outer space is tilled With - . oil, and the inner with water. The oil is heated to . a point aboye 212 degrees Fahrenheit, when . the water begins to boil. Oil heated to 300 degrees is then poured into the cen • trap vessel, and falls rapidly to a temper.: mute about that of the boiling water. D. Grassi rinds that this central oil cools . the mord , quickly the gfeater the heat of the cuter ring of oil—a result seemingly very paradoxical. - TuE death was lately announced of Mr. F. A. tcobert whose flue rulings on glass have given him a world-wide : celebrity. As- test-plates for the • power of mtero scopes he ruled bands of lines &. varyitl fineness from 11,200 to 120,000 . to;the English inelr. It was formerly his4Pin ion that lines so fine as the 1-112; 00th of an inch would never . ' be seen resolved in the microscope. This feat was accom plished, however, by Ur. Woodward ; when Nobert immediately produced a new plate, having one band of lines of a.' fineness of 224,000 to •the English inch. Whether or not these minute lines will ever be seen cannot now be safely predict- Mr. Nobert has always been very reticent in regard to his methods, and it is thought _probably that no -one is ac i . quainted with the seerete of his success. It may therefore befall LIS that Nobert's m:droseopie ruling is to be counted among the lost arts." Tue. presence of disagreeable odors in the atmosphere was the source of consid erable'annoyance-to the people in certain districts of , Paris last summer. , The smells were found to originate in a ca.- tain establishment where refuse matter is manufactured into fertilize; s. .31. Boti- chardat, of tho Paris medical faculty, has examined the question - of the effect of , •these emanations upon health, and bas a3oncluded that they aro innocent. lie does not believe that they convey with them the germs of disease, and rinds that -the gases of which they are composed do not load the, air enough to produce a per ceptible poisoning. Assuming that con - - tagious diseases should manifest them • stives within eight on ten days after the planting-of the germs, the weekly health. bulletins'of the year have been examined to learn if any increase of mortality fol l Owed the introduction of the unpleasant .odors. No such inereme has been de tected. 7 DR. S'ANGFELoi has tried a. number of substances for destroying inisoroscopic life in drinking water, 11113 most striking Osults being attained from citric acid. When one part of the acid was added to thousand parts otl water, life ceased in from one-half to two minutes. Micro scopic examinations - showed that those forms of anitnalcuLm having a thick scaly, v. covering are not affected by the - diluto ci tric coatings. The greater part of these un -- welcome visitors belong, however, to the 'latter class, whiletlie former are' visible 1 to the naked eye, so that a solution of the strength mentioned will suffice as a safe guard. The dead animalculie• immediate ly settle to the bottom of the vessel con. taming the water, and mag --- be found in the sediment. The solution of citric acid al oils quickly, and it is recommended that • it be freshly prepared every day. ReMcd. LIDIA E. PINKHAM. oLecovroEtt or LYDIA E. - PINKHAIVIIII VEGETA/3LE COMPOUND.

In this section no doubt the eply varieties are planted by this time, but the later kinds should not be de. layed longer than possible, as-some of them, such as the Peachblow and Peerless, , require full time in which, to grow. _lf manure is used it will be found an advantage to heavily broa4cast the location after plough= ing and then work it, in well with a harrow. Such manure must be thor oughly, rotted. It is not only useless and wasteful -to use fresh manure on potatoes, but detrimental, as it often causes rot and detracts from the keeping qualities. No potato has, been introduced as yet that can com pare with the Peachblow in keeping qualities, but it has the objection of growing all vine until just previous to forming tubers, and this it seems to do very suddenly. It is not easy to -jcidge of the prospective crop by the growth of the 'One on this lvarie. ty: .I alt other respects it is iicom parable. Oh light sandy soils the Magnum Bonum is best _adapted, as it will of : ten produce ei soils that grow no other kind. . , Chemical fertilizers are better for potatoes 'than stable manure, - =owing to the injury to 4 the tubers by . the latter, and the ptincipal ingredient of so* fertilizers is potash. For an acre'of potatoes enough should be used to not only make up what would be taken from the soil by the crop, .but also sufficient to produce. more than usual. One thousand pounds of -the-ashes-of potatoes contain about 500 pounds of potislu.and a little over 100 pounds of phosphoric acid.' Of course, it takes a great amoun!,- of t potatoes to get 1000 pounds, of ashes, but - it teaches us' to feed our crops with that which will give the best results instead'of applying ma im a'& hazard. - The tops are to' be supplied also, and lime here comes into \ use.__Without intending to give a complete formula of chemicals, the following would be a fair proportion of each : Mariate of potash, 250 pounds; plaster, 200 pounds; super phosphate, • 150 pounds; nitrate of soda,, 75 pounds: This would cost about $lO, and would not only repay _its original cost but would increase the number and 'size of Ih'e tubers. Apply broadcast and lightly harrow in. It is best, however, for farmers to experiment with small patch be fore trying the chemicals extensively, as soils differ, and too much is a waste. Instead of chemicals, if pre ferred, use wood ashes and plaster mixed, to which should be added a bag of superphosphate to the acre. Use all the ashes possible, as there will he no danger of applying too much. Ou sandy, dry soils a mulch around the yin's is beneficial, fur it, will not only retain , moisture, but assist in keeping down the grass and weeds. A' little gt-u 9 is sotnaimes used on potatoes, but this vegetable does' not need it to a very_great ex tent. The potash in the wood ashes is in a caustic state, and They 'should not be mixed with any kind of mate rial that is rich'i n ammonia, they rich; liberate it. ' / . OM =EI L. 13. POWELL. Cultiyation of-Potatoes._ Care of Young TuriKeys. One of the, most seriou objections to ra6' ~-nr--t-ii-r-keys--fof market, is the great , loss occurring among tiem i when very young / ndeed this is the ; greatest difficulty the farmer has to ;overcome in_their management, for Vince beyond „the downy period, and I 'fentherin°' Well oVer, the. task 'be-' 0 / ,ttomes an / easy one. - No mother is equal- to / the turkey hen, in caring, for them,,nd it is no advaritageto place Turk y eugs — undet a common -hen 1 wh n it is desired to hatch them. I \ First of all the greatest care should I 'be exercised that no dampness should :re eh them, as it is surely fatal. They sho Id be kept closely confined under a-coop that is water tight Until the sun ha evaporated all 'the Moisture from th\grass, and . 'at evening they should b put up - again before the. sun goes own..d Next, comes regu larity in . fee Ming. The usual -eukotn . is to feed th in three times a day, and, while Ilia will answer to a cer tain e*tent for chickens,-. young chlens,-. -- it I will not suffice 'f r , young- turkeys; The difference is in the time of feathering. 'Voting . turkeys feather very rapidly, .and du . n.g the process the system is taxed - t its utmost to supply the demand oecasipned.by the ' rapid feathering. - For tAt, ;reason they should be fed . very. oaten. - . Ali omission of feed • for a tog time ' will . occasion death, - and .tif food should vary, and not be of one -ind -I•%\i Ilard-boiled - eggs chppped.fine ni . ed with onions (tops and ba s ks), is x . - cellent. Oatmeal, coarsely. °Fount - screenings of *heat and :.racked corn furnish a changeable diet, and if soft food is given it shOuld be made by boilin° potatoeS and thickening them With fine bran. In giving soft food -always - Salt to taste, as_turkeys need salt as well as animals, but avoid an excess. . As soon as 4 . the dangerous period of feathering has_passed• they may be allowed to ramble at will. In 'tab:se e-a fields they perform the work of `,`worming picking:ott every green worm that can ,be found in a field - of tobacco or tomatoes. They-are great foragers, and grasshoppers and near ly all:kinds of inseets ,are cleared off a farm where they have - liberty to forage. One gobbler is sufficient for protect their young vigorously if attacked. When abOut half grown_ the young males engage' in battle, which does not .end until one.of them is master, and often a 'whole flock may ..be seen warring with each .Other. , Turkeys are very profitable,' and, on farms that have plenty, of ,range, will re turn a greater equivalent . for the far the amount of 'capital.inveSted in them than anything else. If they are hatchell= under-aL_communhen they will often go into the coops at night and . roost inside with other, poultry, but, when hatched under a turkey hen, they invariably prefer - to roost 'on- the.: branches: of trees or some high' location.' They can be taught, to come at. the call if they are fed with regularity. Always give theni a feed when they come up at night. This teaches them to expect it ; and-at-a certain Period every -vening they will come for their food and.therop to roost. - : J.. Why Some Fowls Flo not 'Pay. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman says " The writer knows many who band . given up keeping fowls because the value of the few eggs and lean chickens obtained was far less than the expense incurred for food, coops,.ete. ' I am acquaint ed with many enterprising farmeig 'Who are alive , tO, all improvements in planting and - gatherl4l- their crops, and other matters • on.. their • farms, arid yet denounce'. poUltry-raising for Eats as an expensive humbug, VW Procure -a •few good hens to start - - with, and set them in the • spring, and as Beim as the young are a few days or even a few. houre aid, . they give them their liberty, and take no notice of them, thinking they will find a place. to sleep - wheri ght-comes-ort, - and they give only a little corn on the ground during the day. The young - chicks soon be come deforined from the effects of sleeping out in the dew before they are fledged. The same farmer, when the cold weather came On, began t o fix up a dilapidated pig-pen by the addition of a' few old laths,- where glass had gone as a coop for the • hens. On the, first :cold day many chickens were frozen to death, and the reniainder so paralyzed by the cold as to be useless:for laying. Th e foils live thus till spring, when the farmer goes in search of -eggs, an , l not finding_any, he tell* his friend; , that fowls do not pay cost, and thus injures the keeping of poultry in hi, section. '.Fbis is no supposed ea,P, but is true of many farmers all over the land. It is no wonder that fo*l do not pay under such_ cireuinAaii. ces. Manuring Fruit Trees.
