Koumiss fok Consumptive Patients. It has been remarked that certain Tartar tribes who drink freely of kou miss, or fermented luaro's milk, aro free from that distressing malady, pulmo nary consumption. This fact has led to trial of tliu experiment whether the dis ease could be cured by doses of koumiss artificially prepared; and with a satis factory result. The artificial koumis, composed of asVs milk and cow's milk, is a lively, sparkling beverage, not very palatable"; but in throe or four days the patients tolerate it, "and then unequivo cal nigus of amelioration set in, the ap petite returns, vomiting ceases, flesh is gained, and good sloop is enjoyed." Champ. When cramp occurs iu the limbs, warm friction with the naked hand, or with the following stimulating liniment, will gonerally bo found to suc ceed iu removing it: Tako of water of ammonia, or of spirit of hartshorn, one ounce; olive oil, two ounces. Shake them together till they unite. Where tho stomach is affected, brandy, ether, laudanum, or tincture of ginger affords the speediest means of cure. The fol lowing draught may be taken with great advantage : Laudanum, forty or fifty drops; tincture of ginger, two drachms; syrup of poppies, one drachm; cinnamon or mint water, one ounce.

A roll nt a time may be used as wanted. A late number of the Reading Timm ami JJixpatch contains a very strong argument in favor of good roads, as ngaiust bad ones so prevalent under the present wretched system. Every ground it assumes is correct. It says truly: It is not impossible, not even difficult, to construct good roads, and when once made they can be kept up at less cost than bad ones. J. lie way is not wanting, so much as tho will, and tho way will never be found so long ns tho present dead-alive system is kept up. In using paris green to exterminate the potato bugs, tho poison should be mixed with tl e cheapest grade of Hour, one pound of green to ten of tlour. A good way of applying it to the plants is to take an old two-quart tin fruit can, melt off the top, and put in a wooden head, in which insert a broom handle. Bore a hole in tho head, also, to pour tho powder in, and then punch the bot tom filll of holes about tho size of No. 0 shot. Walk alougsido tho rows, when the vines are wet with dew or rain, and make one shoot at each hill. Afniftnnro in Hatching IK4?a. Assistance is sometimes of great im portance in hatching, especially in the easo of the thick shells of tho eggs of Af iatio fowls and of ducks. It is a good plan to sprinkle or dip tho eggs in tepid witter every day at noon for a week be fore hatching. The shell cracks moro easily. When the shell is chipped, if the bird does not como out in a few Ji nirs, it should have just a little help, and but a little. Break tho shell a little each sido of the chip, and tear the mem brnnce where it is dried. Great care must be taken not to draw blood. Make ouly just room enough for tho bill and head to get free. Having done this, put tho eggs back again under the fluff of tho hen, and watch the progress made in hatching two or throe times a day. Tho lives of a good muny chickens and ducks ore saved every season by a littlo timely aid while watching. If kept quiet and carefully handled, no harm will come to mother or brood. Hint About Unking. For biscuits the oven should be equally hot when they are put in, but should begin to cool a littlo before they nre taken out ; this makes them very light, but ono has to watch to keep them from being scorched ; eight minutes nre enough to bake them ; if baked with such a fire ns that required for bread, they are heavy. For gems made of Gra ham flour and wat.-r, or for corn bread, tho oven should be very hot ; but the lire should havo been built some time before they were put in, and begin to go down by the time they are light ; for if the ovou remains ns hot as was necessary to make them rise, they will burn before they nro thoroughly cooKea turougu, Bread requires a much slower fire, but it should be even and steady from first tO liUSt. Determined. The followingincident occurred during Kina Victor Emanuel's recent visit to Venice. A "patriot" of 1S48-49, who had, after repeated applications, ob tained no redress for injuries received during those eventful yews, waited for tho King ou tuo xtiva, intending to pre sent his petition ia person while his majesty while stepping into his barge en route for the Lido. The man missed his mark, and waited at the wrong steps, Perceiving his mistake, he fixed his peti tion in the brim of his hat and leaped into the water, bo bravely did ho swim that he reached tho royal boat at a curve of the river, and one of the attendant i of the king, taking the petition high and dry from his hat, presented it to hi majesty.

Subsequently Smith and Jones became the owners of the two lots, and each built a house thereon. Now the said penstock became a bono of conten tion between the two families. The young Smiths and Joneses first opened tho ball by a set-to at that penstock over a pail of water. Young Smith wanted to draw first, and Young Jones just as per sistently contested for the honor. It all ended by the pouring of the pail of water ilowu tho back 01 Jones by bmith. Then tho parents took up the quarrel and carried it into a feud. Smith's chickens were frequently found in the penstock siuk with heels turned up, and Jones' pet dog was fonud sacrificed iu the same way to the cause. After this an attachment was placed to the pen stock by Jones, by which water was car ried to the house through a hose. This might have worked very well ; but iu nn evil hour youug Jones concealed himself, and when young Smith came to draw a pail of water he opened tho nozzle and let n fierce stream on young Smith. This was a sweet revenge, but it renewed the feud, and for days there were numerous devices bv the families to obtain re venge. Jones sent up a plumber to change the situation of the penstock, but he was driven off by Mrs. Smith, aud the little Smiths laughed at the little Joneses iu derision. A surveyor was finally sent along by Mr. Smith, and after many mysterious evolutions pro nounced the penstock just throe inches on tho premises of tho Smiths. Happy Smith family ! How Tliey Fig-lit Grasshoppers. What farmers there are in Colorado, says a letter writer, are fighting grass hoppers with water, and lire, and smoke, and death-dealing ambuscades, and en gines of destruction. Of all these the " grasshopper hell " is the most popular and perhaps the most efficacious. Its name gives a very good conception of its practical workings. A long sheet iron box, open at the top, is swung close to the ground between two wheels , by which it is moved over the field. Rising two or three feet above tho top of the box, and bending forward from the rear, is a broad sheet of tin or sheet-iron. I When in use a fire is built in tho bottom j of the furnace, which is then pushed against tho wind, the overhanging wing or sail taking tho hoppers ns they rise i aud Jeeding them to tho names in a hurry. Sometimes a miniature windmill is added to tho outfit, nnd sucks in nil the locusts for yards aud yards around, de stroying them by millions. Millions moro huvo been drowned in irrigating ditches by cunningly devised tri-ps which prevent their cscapo from the water. While they were young nnd green, and before their wings were grown, several tons of them wero de stroyed by a confidence game which de serves description. Between tho young hoppers and the youug wheat long rows of dry straw wero strewn, which soon became literally black nud nlive with the wriggling little insects. When no more hoppers could be accommodated, the straw was tired. Another device was to drag over tho hopper-infested regions a tarpaulin plentifully coated on tho under sido with coal tar, which is instant death to the pests. Still, with all these disad vantages against them, grasshoppers nre apparently as numerous as ever. Tree Puffs. Rural journalism iu Minnesota has its littlo pecularities, it must be admitted. As, for instance, a countryman comes in to leave a bunch of horseradish, and requests a pleasant notice of his arrival in town ; also would like to have it men tioned that his farm, two yoke of oxen, a cow and a pair of bobsleds are for sale. We copy the above from an exchange, and although it read3 ludicrously enough, every editor of a country paper well knows it represents other sections than Miunesota. Indeed people gen erally have an opinion that an editor can insert notices without any cost what ever, and consider him "mean" if he will not do so; never thinking that him self aud fumily depend on the publica tion for subsistence. Would any mnn think of going to a merchant and asking for an article worth from fifty cents to a dollar and one-half, on the strength of buying merchandise of him annually to the amount of two dollars the average ubscription price of journals ? An accommodating case of absent mindedness recently came to light. A New Orleans lady purchased a pair of boots ; they did not fit her quite as well as she desired, and she resolved to take them back. She ac cordingly carried them to a store in which she had never been before, for getting where she had got them ; and the shopkeeper quite as uncertain took them and gave her a better pair, offer ing many regrets that bis customer had beta put to 9 such tsouUi KEWS OF THE DAI.

This is so generally understood that only the most cursory explanation is needed her Ltv.i us suppose a horse-race in wind several horses engage in the subject of speculation. The pool-seller oilers at unction what ho terms tho " first choice." Hi'i patrons understand that this means that a bet is to bo inudo on tho favorite ngaiust every other horse in tho race. "I'll give one hundred dol lars for first choice," savs a bettor, "One hundred dollars is offered," cries tho auctioneer. Iso ono offers more and tho bettor pays down his money nnd secures the right to placo it on which ever horso ho pleases. "A" is the favorite, and he bets on that horse, " What is offered for tho second choice?'1 shouts the auctioneer. "Fifty,' " sixty," " seventy" are tho cries of the speculators. "Done at seventy dol lars," cries tho auctioneer, and the sec ond bettor seclects "B" or "C" if he pleases. Then the third choice is offered nud sold, and Inst of all tho " field," c the group of horses entered in the race but whoso merits aro not well enougl known to guarnnteo their individual mention.
