Aiding Chicken'! nirth.
A writor'in the Journal of Horticul
ture says:
" I send with this nn epg-Bhell from
which a chick has just bcten hatched. If
you examine it you will And it a double
Btaell. I do not mean to sny that the
hen laid it so, but I forward it as a suc
cessful dodge by which I think I saved
the life of a chick. Yesterday morninp:
the hen in returning to her nest trod
upon and thoroughly crushed the origi
nal shell. I think it was weakened by
a previous small crack in the narrow
end, which I had oovered with a little
bit of postage stamp edging. I was
certain the chick would die if left; as,
if not crushed, the skin would bind it
and dry to it; but it would probably
have been crushed between the other
eggs, as I have often had happen. They
were due to hatch to-day, and I there
fore thought that an outside shell might
preserve it for the necessary time; so I
took an egg-shell that had. been used at
breakfast, raised it a little, and slipped
it over the small end, and joined it to

may be useful to others in similar
cases."
. Killing the Cuckle IJurr.
I have had some experience with
t hem, but they are not very plenty on
my farm. If the weeds are not numer
ous, pull them up. If they ore, seed in
timothy and clover, and mow in July
before going to seed, and mow again in
September, and be careful that not a
burr ripens sufficiently to grow. This
process may need to be continued two
or three years, as the seed is said to re
tain its vitality in the ground, or on
the ground, for that length of time.
Some advise pasturing closely with
sheep. The weed is a terrible bore.
Two good crops of them are more ex
haustive in the soil than ten crops of
corn, and will make tho land so poor
that a plough sometimes will not scour.
The weeds need to be legislated against
like the Canada thistle ; for the burrs
travel too fust and too far, from farm to
farm, on cows' tails and on rabbits'
backs. Everjr farmer should by law be
compelled to prevent these burrs from
going to seed, and in case of neglect
the proper authority should hire help
and exterminate them at the expense of
tho land-owner. I believe nothing
short of the vigorous execution of such
a law will save whole sections of our
State. A. J. lllakcly in Iowa Herald.

The Cincinnati Enquirer contains
the following:
"If our farmer friends knew how
little trouble it is to keep a diary, and
with what satisfaction they would look
over it in a few years, we feel sure they
would many of them be induced to be
gin one. A simple record of the weath
er and the operations of the farm, the
writing of which would not occupy two
minutes a day, will, in after years, be
not only a source of pleasure, but also
of great practical benefit. By referring
back to the record of former Years one
can see how late we have planted cer
tain crops, and nt what time they ma
tured at the end of each year. One or
two hours will enable you to make an

the weather and crops, and also items

We began a journal of this kind in the

How to Itcplace the Timber.
The Ohio Farmer says that trees for
timber should be planted along the road
side, in clumps in the pastures, or any
where you can, and save the timber you
have as the most valuable product of
the farm. For fire wood cut only the
aeau una aymg trees, this and trim'
mings make the best of summer fire
wood. It says that the young timber
left in the woods are so thinned that the
trees grow low and branchy and go to
leaves and branches instead of body,
and for practical use. as construction
timber, they are nseless.and the practice
of browsing woodlands is both starving
the animals and killing the growth of
me timber.
Ill-ought Back to Life.
A curious story of the bringing to life
of a man who hud committed suicide by
hanging at Valde Grace, Canton Fri
burg, is told by the Confcdcre. On the
first diagnosis the doctors affirmed that
asphyxia was complete; the body gave
not the slightest sign of life, it being
blue and rigid. One of the physicians
present, however, would not leave the
corpse without making a final experi
ment on it. He uncovered the breast
and endeavored for some time to induce
respiration by artificial means, but
without result. He then applied the
pole or an electric battery to the pas
sage of the pneumogastric nerves, and
caused a strong current to pass at inter
vals ot lour seconds. Almost immedi
ately feeble signs of respiration reap
peai-ed. Five minutes afterward the
radical pulse and the cardiac pulse
nguin became perceptible. The epiglo-
tis was tuminea, and it was necessary
to pull the tongue out of the mouth by
means of a pair of pincers in order to
render the respiration freer. A few
ounces of blood were then drawn from
the mediocephalic vein. The dilated
pupils contracted gradually, and the
signs of life became more and more
manifest. The patient was then able to
swollow a small quantity of alcohol
Finally a slight muscular contraction
was perceptible without the interven
tion of electricity; the sensibility of the
cornea reappeared; then the feet be
came warm again, and 60on after the
regular pulsation of the carotid arteries
were easily perceptible.
A New Field for Emigration.
The American Jtcrtster (1'aris), in
noticing Sir Samuel Haker's recent dis-
coveries, says that the fertile, mountain'
ous regions ot i-gypt invite emigration
and points the poor laborers of Europe
in thi'.t direction, especially as Canada
and the United btates are getting pret
ty well populated. If that is the only
reason, Buys u uuatuu paper, wiiy emi
gration should be turned toward Africa,
its arguments will rest on a very unsub
stantiul basis. Talk about the United
States being well populated. Wh
there are acres of land enough, on whii
the virgin timber and grass has never
been cut, to give every poor laborer and
every well-to-do farmer on the Conti-
nent a farm, and then leave enough un
populated to found several States larger
than most ot the countries 01 Europe.

Nathaniel Itowdllrh.
One of the most remarkable traits in
the character of this eminent mathema
tician was the power he possessed to in
terest other men in his favorite subject.
When he was captain of a ship sailing
out of Salem to the East Indies, almost
all his crew became mathematicians,
and even the ship's cook made such
firogress as to be able to work out a
nnar observation. The secret of it
was his own intense and passionate love
of the science. In one of his early voy
ages, when he was little more than a
boy, the slrtp was crftsed by a privateer;
and the captain making up his mind to
fight, assigned to young Bowditch the
duty of handing up the powder. In the
midst of tho hurly-burly of preparing
the ship for action, he was observed
seated, by a keg of powder, wholly ab
sorbed in his slate and pencil. Such
love as that is very contagious.
This interesting man, born at Salem,
in 1773, came of a long line of tough
and valiant Yankee sea-captains ; but
his father, after going to sea for several
years, came ashore, and settled at Sa
lem m the business of a cooper, and
reared a family of seven children. He
had a hard time of it tlurine the Revo-
lutionary War to support so large afivm-
ny; so that wneu ins son, JNutliamol,
was a boy of ten, he was obliged to take
him from the town-school and put him
to worn in nis cooper snop. Soon after
the boy was regularly apprenticed to a
ship-chandler, and served out his time
of seven years.
l'rom an early age. even while still at
school, ho had shown a strange apitude
for arithmetic, being one of those boys
who learn to do all the hard sums, and
help their companions outof their arith
metical difficulties. During his ap
prenticeship, such was his love of cal
culation, that in the long and frequent
intervals when there were no customers
to serve, he still assiduously employed
himself with slate and pencil : I have
never heard of such devotion to knowl
edge, such energy, zeal and indefatiga
ble industry in acquiring it. Hearing
one day that there was a way of doing
sums by letters instead of figures, he
pursued his inquiries until he had
found an algrebra. Upon looking over
it, he was so fascinated and so agitated,
that he could not simp during the next
night, and he gave hijnself no rest until
he had mastered its contents. Getting
access to an Encyclopedia, he read it all
through, article after article, in their
alphabetical order. ' Ah old sailor set
tled in Salcmgave him some notion of
navigation, and he pursued the science
until he could work out all the prob
lems.
At seventesn, while still an appren
tice, he obtained a copy of Newton's
Prine ipia, the most abstruse mathemati
cal work then existing, in which the
great philosopher develops in math
ematical form his theory of gravitation.
The curiosity of the boy was instantly
roused ; but, alas I the work was writ
ten in Latin, of which he knew scarcely
a word. Nothing daunted, he began to
learn the language, aiid continued until,
l ai. - : .1 r i-K - j : .1
ujr iue iuu ui nie uiagrums given in iiie
work, ho could read and understand
Nawton's demonstrations. Early in
life he had acquired the French lan
guage, in order to read the many excel
lent mathematical works written in it ;
as later he learned German, Italian and
Spanish, iu order to get possession of
tueir treasures 01 literature and science.
It was fortunate, perhaps, for this
energetic genius that no wealthy patron
reieaseu mm irom tne necessity 01
daily toil ; for if the gift of leisure had
111- H II
made him a greater mathematician, it
might have rendered him a less admir-
able man. ltn an his talent, he was
left to pursue precisely the same course
as the most ordinary youth in Salem.
After his apprenticeship, he was a ship
chandler s cierK for a few years. At
twenty-two he sailed as captain's clerk
in an East India ship, and was promo
ted, in due time, first, to be
supercargo, and afterward to be captain;
in tne course of his sea-service
visiting most of the important ports
01 tuo world. it could not be
said of him that he was merely a book
mathematician, lor lie was one of the
best and safest practical navigators
that ever lived. His son relates that.
coming on the coast of Massacuhsetts in
winter, alter a long voyage, he arrived
off Salem harbor by night, in a tempest
of wind and snow. Besides his reckon
ing, he had no help except one momen
tary glimpse of the light on liaker s
island ; but he stood by the helm, and
steered the ship safely in. He was not
yet thirty years of age when he publish
ed his .Practical .Navigator, which was
so exactly what navigators wanted that
it found its way speedily into the cabin
of almost every American and English
ship.
A pleasing incident of his sea-faring
life occurred soon after the publication
of this work. While his ship lay in
Boston harbor, one day, waiting for a
lair wind, the young captain (he was
then but twenty-nine) went on shore
to attend the Commencement of Har
vard College at Cambridge, near by,
hen the .President read the names
of the men upon whom the college
had conferred honorary degrees, dipt.
Bowditch was thrilled with delight to
hear his own name among those who
had received the degree of Master of
Arts. This was a great honor in those
honest old days, and would have re
mained such to this hour if colleges
had been chary and conscientious in
the bestowal of degrees. In after years.
when he lftid received many such dis
tinctions and was a member of most of
the learned societies in the world, he al
ways looked back upon th.it day as the
proudest of his life.
Yankee sailors of any force and sense
are not apt to be sailors long after mid'
die life. When Captain Bowditch had
followed the sea for about fifteen years,
he settled in Salem as president of an
insurance company, an employment
which gave him as much leisure as he
could profitably employ. He was still
an ardent and constant student, and
contributed frequently scientific papers
to me Aorth American lievicw, and
other works. These, however, were
but trifles compared with the great task
upon which ne entered soon after set
tling at Salem. There had been coming
out for many years the volumes of the
extensive work of the French mathema
tician, Laplace, entitled, Lc Mecanique
Ccteste, or, as we should say, " The
Mechanism of tho Heavens." This
work, divided into sixteen books, was
designed to embody the entire science
of astronomy, mathematically treated.
It embraces such topics as the Laws 'of
f,. . J Al. AAA i.i A r
au.ui.iuu, mo auiucuuu 01 itravitauon,
tho Form of the Heavenly Bodies, the
Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies,
the Moons of Jupiter and Saturn, the
Theory of tho Comets ; all illustrated
with diagrams, and treated in such a
way that only a very accomplished
mathematician can read it. As Bowditch
says himself :
I never come across one of ' La-
plaoe's ' Thus it plainly appears," with
out feeling sure that I J
iave g
U fill
ot hours
oi nara study Deioro me w nil up
the
chasm, and find out and show how it
plainly appears."
So abBtruse was this work, that it
was supposed at the time that not more
than three persons in the United States,
nor more than twelve in Great Britain
could read it. Bowditch formed the
design not merely to tronslato the
whole into English, but to elucidate it
with notes, and to add to it such discov
eries in astronomical science as had
been made since its completion. The
execution of this task occupied the re
mainder of his life. When he had made
considerable progress in it, the impor
tant question arose, how should he bear
the expense of publishing five quarto
volumes of a thousand pages each.
The plan of subscription was suggested;
but, with a sturdy, and perhaps exces
sive independonce, ho declined to avail
himself of that method, and determined
to wait until he could afford to publish
it at his own expense, leaving it to the.
public to buy the volumes, or leave them
alone, as they should see fit. Fortu
nately he was invited, in his fiftieth year,
to accept the post, at a liberal salary, of
Actuary of a Boston Life Insurance
Company, which soon put him in cir
cumstances to begin tho publication.
"I would rather," he used to say,
" put by a thousand dollars a year for
my book than spend it in keeping a car
riage." Tho volumes, as they appeared, met
with a better sale than he had expected;
but, of course, they did not pay the
great expense of publication. While
10 was correcting the proof sheets of
the fourth volume, ho was seized with
a mortal disease, which ended his life
at the age of sixty-five. The fifth
volume has since been added to the
series by Professor Pierce.
Bowditch accomplished the great
labors of his life as much by the regu
larity a3 by the ardor of his industry.

As Happy ns Cau Be.
The city of B , a town on the Big
Muddy, in Missouri, has among its
principal citizens Captain McV , a
man who " knows how to keep a hotel,"
and who says sharp things on current
events. Just before the breaking out of
the war a young lady of B was mar
ried to a rising physician. He joined
his fortunes with the South, and soon
after he was killed in battle. After
ward the lady married a merchant of
St. Louis, who was carried off by the
cholera iu 18G6. Returning to her for
mer home she met a young man of fine
address and entertaining manners, but
who had a greater social than business
reputation. He was not rich, and had,
apparently, little prospect of becoming
so. Under these circumstances the en
gagement of the twain was looked upon
as anything but desirable by the
friends of the lady, who, notwithstand
ing her double widowhood, was still
young and attractive. But in this case,
as in innumerable others, love tri
umphed over prospective poverty. One
evening while Captain McV and
some of his guests were sitting on the
porch, enjoying the cool breeze of the
Big Muddy, the couple referred to
strolled by. After they had passed the
captain exclaimed, "What terrible sin
can that woman have committed that
she should be thus visited by all the
curses in the calendar? She has had
war, she has had pestilence, and now
she is threatened with famine." ne
might have gone on and added, " bat
tle, murder and sudden death." For
tunately the last marriage has proved
as " happy as they make them."
A Rattlesnake's Bite.
An Indiana man has recovered from
the bite of a rattlesnake. The South
Bend Tribune tells his story thus:
" Last Wednesday afternoon, Asa
Jones, of Clay Township, was engaged
in loading hay on a wagon on the marsh
at Bonebrake'a farm, when he was at
tacked by a rattlesnake. The reptile
first struck at the boot on his right foot,
but missed it, and he gave the snake a
kick sending it off a short distance. It
renewed the attack again, and this
time struck him on one side of the calf
of his leg just above the boot-top, the
fangs making a wound nearly an inch
long. Mr. Jones managed to dispatch
the snake, and immediately bound some
tobacco on the wound. Within five
minutes from the time he was bitten
he was perfectly blind, and it was with
great difficulty he was got to his house,
which was over a mile distant. He was
instantly filled with whiskey, and tobac
co was kept on the wound till the day
following, when he was apparently as
well as ever. He is now suffering no
bad effects from the bite. The snake
wasagood-siaedone, with seven rattles."

A Hundred Millions.
Tho announcement is made that Mr,

A Lingering; Death.
The Lancaster (Perm., pnpers report
the death of a young man, fifteen years
old, named Henry Colly, which is in
many respects remarkable. He lay
upon a bed of pain for one hundred and
seventeen days, and during that period .
of time never once arose. He was first
taken sick with an attack of cerebro
spinal mengitis, and this disease finally
terminated in consumption of the
bowels. After the first day of his sick
ness he was unable to hear or see, and
a greater part of the time had no power
of speech. His attention could at cer
tain times be attracted by holding any
article of bright material in front or
over him, and moving it from one posi
tion to another. The fact of the little
fellow's remarkable sickness spread all
over the country, and numbers of phy
sicians had visited him merely tnrougu
cariosity. At the time of his death he
was a skeleton, with only a dry, parched
cuticle drawn over the bones, and that
without any perceptible vitality in it.

Tho Colorado Desert.
The Colorado desert is an immense
arid plain extending from the southern
boundary of Utah to the head of the Gulf
of Ualnornia. It is about six hundred
miles from north to south, and of width
varying from thirty to three hundred
miles. The dry sands of this great ba
sin offer no inducement to the farmer or
tock and aro as dreary and inhospita
ble as the Assyrian wastes. Tho hot
winds from this arid basin affect unfa
vorably the climate of the neighboring
cultivated regions. Deserts are mostnpt
to expand than to contract if let alone,
and how to subdue the Colorado desert
has long been a problem. Mr. Isaac
James, Into engineer of the Truckae
and .Virginia City Railroad, left San
Diego, California, in the early part of
July to explore tho Colorado bnsiu to
tho Uulf of uainornia, with the view
of ascertaining the possibility of turn
ing the waters of the gulf into the ba
sin. Mr. James is very confident that
the greater part of tho desert is fur be
low tide water, and that tho cutting of
a cnnnl from the gulf to tho depression
would result in the formation of an ex
tensive inland sea. The project is wor
thy of careful study, for the climate
changes likely to be produced by the
introduction of such an immense vol
ume of water would doubtless be very
beneficial to tho "surrounding States
