The Leaning Tower.
Dr. Prime gives, in the New York Ob
server, his opinion as to the cause of
leaning of the celebrated tower of Pisa;
in conversing with a guide, who had
been there for fifty years, the man gives
an opinion:
I asked him what was the commonly
received opinion as to the cause of its
leaning over. He said most people
think it settled while it was building;
and when the fact was ascertained that
it could not settle any further, the build
ing was continued and completed out of
the perpendicular.
This opinion appears to be absurd.
Here is a tower erected for the bells of
the cathedral: the bell tower: the cam
panile; its height is two hundred feet;
its diameter, for it is round, is about
twenty, and it leans out of a perpen
dicular mteen leet.
To suppose that a tower of exquisite
architecture in stone, designed for such
a purpose, and built at suoh vast ex
pense, would be finished after it began
to lean out of the perpendicular, would
argue an amount of rashness on the part
of the builders or the directors that has
no parallel even in these modern times.
i I presume it was finished, with its
successive galleries, to the verv sum
mit, its bells were hung, and by and by
me earin Deneatn became gradually
compressed on the side where the ground
below was less solid than on the other;
that this settling proceeded so slowly as
to be imperceptible for many long years,
and was never mentioned in the chroni
cles of the cathedral, as it certainly
would have been had it ooenrred while
in the process of building.
It was begun in 1174, and has there
fore stood more than 750 years. In that
time the tendency to fall miglit easily

FAKM, GARDEN ASD HOUSEHOLD.
U.raalnatl.a aflMceda.
There are a few common principles
connected with the germination of seeds
wmcn are laminar to many, but which
are nevertheless worthy of being placed
on reoord, and whioh may be interest
ing and instructive to those who have
not given special attention to the sub
ject. 'Xbe three great leading requisites for
germination are warmth, moisture and
air but not light. Seeds deprived of
these requisites will remain dormant. If
the plants are very hardy, such as the
ohickweed, and the rye ana wheat plant,
they will start at a few degrees above
the freezing point. Others less hardy,
as Indian corn and beans, must have
a higher temperature, and if the soil is
too cold, they will rot instead of grow
ing. Hot-house plants require a still
greater heat, many of whioh will not
germinate below eighty or ninety de
grees of Fahrenheit.
Moisture is very essential, ;jj every
farmer knows who has sown wbnit and
grass seed in time of a severe drought.
Flower seeds sown in a dry garden bed,
vegetate rapidly if the sowing is follow
ed by a warm shower, which furnishes
the two elements for success, warmth
and moisture. Many seeds are deprived
of this essential requisite when they are
allowed to become too dry by long ex
posure to the air.
Seeds must have air, or they will not
grow. Buried deep in the soil, they re
main dormant for a long time, although
kept at a nearly uniform temperature
with the Boil, to retain their natural
moisture. Nurserymen sometimes keep
peach 6tones in a sound and dormant
condition, buried iwo feet or more in
compact earth . Many of the most trou
blesome annual weeds make their appear
anoe in ground supposed to be clean.
The careless farmer has allowed weeds
to ripen seeds by the ten thousand in
Erevions years, and turned them in deep
y plowing. There they have re
mained dormant till another plowing
has brought them to the surface, where
they soon appear by myriads, to the sur
face of the owner, w ho, if he is ignorant
of the nature of vegetable erowth.
ascribes their appearance to spontaneous
vegetation.
Large seeds, like those of peas. corn.
etc., will find their way to the surface if
Duned several inclies below ground.
although they grow more freely at less
depth. Small seedB must be much
nearer the surface. The seeds of most
of our worst annual weeds, such as pig
weed, green amaranth, fox tail, rag
weed and mustard, are quite small,
and will not grow if buried in compact
soil over an inch in depth. This is the
reason t that when the ground once be
comes infested, it takes so long a time
to eradicate them. The plowing and
the harrowing must be repeated many
times, until every part of the soil, down
as far as the plow reaches, is successive
ly exposed to the action of the air. In
this way crop after crop of weeds is
destroyed, until the soil is pnrged of
them. It is much easier and less ex
pensive to prevent their growth, and
never allow them to drop ripe seeds.
Garden seeds often fail to germinate
because they are buried too deep. Some
years ago an amateur planted his best
seeds, taking great pains, and burying
them three inches deep. They could
not grow. A part remaining, were after
wards planted an inch deep, and they
came up in profusion. The old rule, to
cover seeds at a depth not exceeding five
times tneir diameter, will apply, witli
some variation, to nearly all, and if gen
erally observed, would often prevent

Poultry Nate.
When turkeys are two months old
they can successfully withstand the se
verest weatner, u dry. in wet weather
they should be confined in a yard under
cover.
It is said that lice may be kept from
poultry by placing pieces of the bark of
sassairas root in their nests.
Good setters among hens seldom or
never leave their nests more than once a
day, provided they are well fed when
they come off; while they seldom remain
away longer than from a quarter to half
an hour, rarely exceeding the latter
period, unless food hasjnot been sup
plied and they have to forage for them
selves.
" Dry feed for your chicks, savs the
! Poultry World, and among other things
it turns: "ii is absolutely indispensa
ble that the cooked mash given to any
young cnicicens snonid De mixed dry,
By this we mean to convey the supcrea-
tion that the meal mixture should be of
a crumbly consistency rather than that
of the swashy, soggy kind of muck that
nine out of ten careless or inexperienced
persons give to the young broods in
their infancy."
rm t 1 . ...
ine uest oi an sons ou wiucu to es
tablish a poultry yard is gravel or sand
resting on a substratum of gravel. If
the soil is clayey, or from other causes
retentive of wet. the whole should be
well drained.
This is essential to suc
cess, as a wet soil is more inducive than
any other circumstance of cramp, roup-
ana omer diseases.
Chlckea Cholera.
For a few years my chickens died so
badly that I abandoned all care of
them, thinking it labor lost. In 1872 I
commenced feeding with air-slaked
lime ; I lost a very few that summer.
In the summers of 1873 and 1874 I lost
none at all by that disease. I put half
a pint in a vessel and fill it with water
or milk and put for them to drink. As
they drink off the top I fill up again.
Bouietimes i mix nail a pint with a
peck of stirred up feed and give them.
The lime helps to form the shell for
laying hens. I give the lime two or
three times per month, and always if I
see any signs of the disease. I raised
about twenty dozen last summer, and
healthier, brighter looking chickens I
never owned. Western Agriculturist.
What Becomes of the Pins.
Nothing, animate or inanimate, man
ages to disappear so completely as a
pin. Though small, it is not a perishable
article, but it has a marvelous aptitude
to make way with itself. But even
larger pieces of metal in daily use man
age to disappear. There must be tens
of thousands of horse-shoes dropped in
New York in the course of the year, yet
how rarely they are seen. This is all
the more remarkable, inasmuch as it is
considered lucky to pick them up, there-
lore people are on tne lookout for tuem.
There is a great demand for the nails
by which they are fastened, in the manu
facturing world. The banging they have
got through constant wear makes them
of more value than even new nails for
what, does onr reader think f To make
stabb twist barrels. It seems odd that
the same malleability could not be given
to the iron in some qniocer and more
simple manner than the trafflo of horse's
feet. . But pins disappear for "good and
all." ,
Sunstroke.
The following report of the sanitary
commissioners of the New York board
of health, upon sunstroke, has been ap
proved and published by the board :
Sunstroke is caused by excessive
heat, and especially if the weather
" muggy." It is more apt to occur on
the second, third or fourth day of
heated term than on the first Loss of
sleep, worry, exoitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, abuse of stimulants,
predispose to it. It is more apt to at
tack those working in the sun, and es
pecially between the hours of eleven
o'clock in the morning and four o'clock
in the afternoon. On hot days wear
thin clothing. Have as cool sleeping
rooms as possible. Avoid Iobs of sleep,
and all unnecessary fatigue. If working
in-doors, and where there is artificial
heat laundries, etc. see that the room
is well ventilated.
If working in the sun, wear a light
hat (not black, as it absorbs heat),
straw, etc., and put inside of it on the
head, a wet cloth on a largo green leaf :
frequently lift the hat from the head
and see that the cloth is wet. Do not
check perspiration, but drink what
water you need to keep it up, as per
spiration prevents the body from being
overheated. Have, whenever possible,
an additional shade, as a thin umbrella,
when walking, a canvas or broad cover
when working in the sun. When much
fatigued do not go to work, but be ex
cused from work, especially after
eleven o clock in the
hot days, if the
sun. If a feeling
zinees, headache,
occurs, cease work
morning on very
work is in the
of fatigue, diz
or exhaustion
immediately, lie
down in a shady and cool place ; apply
cold cloths to and pour cold water over
head and neck. If any one is overcome
by the heat, send immediately for the
nearest good physician. While waiting
for the physician, give the person oool
drinks of water or cold black tea, or
cold coffee, if able to swallow. If the
skin is hot and dry, spouge with, or
pour cold water over the body and
limbs, and apply to the head pounded
ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth.
If there is no ice at hand, keep a cold
cloth ou the head, and pour cold water
on it as well as on the body.
If the person is pale, very faint, and
pulse feeble, let him inhale ammonia
for a few seconds, or give him a tea

The True American Girl.
This is what the American Register
tells the Parisians: " Your true Amer
ican girl is a very charming being. Like
all creatures reared in freedom, sne pos
sesses an untaught grace and vigor of
mind as well as of body. She is no help
less puppet, as in her European proto
type, pulled about by hidden wires, and
kept perpetually in a box. Bred amid
the healthful atmosphere of a social svs
tern of exceptional purity, respected,
honored and guarded fiom babyhood by
the chivalrous natures that surround
her, she learns and thinks to act for her
self, and to think and act aright. It is
well nigh impossible to over-estimate
her influence on onr social system,
Reared at her sido, the American youth
grows np with an instinctive reverence
for and desire to protect neipiess inno
cence and maidenly purity. The salons
to which she lends the charm of her
winning graces and youthful sweetness
are more potent for good than were the
salons of Recamier or De StaeL The
love that she inspires is a young man's
best shield against temptation. She
does not herself understand, the smiling
maiden, what good she has done, and is
doing every day. Yet her white image
has waved back many a youth from the
pathway of temptation, her clear eyes
lent light to the comprehension of better
things."
Birmingham Buttons.
At one time Birmingham (Eng.;
buckled and buttoned the three king
dome, and half the world beside, requir
ing such adornment. It furnished every
variety of both buckle and button, but
its chief staple was tne metai Dutton.
When shoe-buckles went out, the af
frighted makers went abont in shoe
strings, petitioning Parliament to com
pel people to wear buckles. In like
way the London perruquiers went up to
George IIL, in their own plain hair, to
solicit him to bring back the departing
fashion of powder and wigs I When the
metal button yielded to the mold of
wood or born, covered witn auk or some
other woven material, the metal button-
makers so besieged Parliament by their
shrieking entreaties to bo saved from
ruin that a law was passed which made
it illegal for a tailor to sew on to a suit
of clothes any button made of cloth,
serge, camlet, or any other "stuff."
Unless this law wss swept away by the
enactment which recently abolished all
laws that had become practically obso
lete, this button act is still in force, and
we believe it to be so. Abont a half a
dozen years ago a tailor named Shirley
sued, in the Marylebone county court, a
customer named King for 9 ($45), the
firioe of a suit of clothes made for the
atter. The defendant's counsel asked
the tailor of what material the buttons
were made, and on being told that they
were of cloth or silk on horn molds, he
remarked that by the law made for the
protection of the Jtiirmingnam button-
makers, not only could the tailor sot
recover, but if the defendant chose to
sue for the penalties, the plaintiff would
have to pay forty shillings for every
dozen of such buttons sewed on by him.
The judge agreed, and the tailor was
non-smted.
Tropical Tree Forms,
Some are almost cylindrical, rising np
out of the ground as if their bases were
concealed by accumulations of the soil;
otners get uracil thicker near tne ground,
like our spreading oaks; others again.
and these are very characteristic, send
out, toward the base, fiat and wing-like
projections. These projections are thin
slabs radiating from the main trunk,
from which they stand out like the but
tresses of a Gothio cathedral. They rise
tovarions heights on the tree from five
or six to twenty or thirty feet; they
often divide as they approach the
ground, and sometimes twist and curve
along the surface for a considerable dis
tance, forming elevated and greatly
compressed roots. These buttresses are
sometimes so large that the spaces be
tween them, if roofed over, would form
huts capable of containing several per
sons.
There is another form of tree, hardly
less curious, in which the trunk, though
generally straight and cylindrical, is
deeply furrowed and indented, appear
ing as if made np oi a number ot email
trees grown together at the centre.

a benefactor to his race. This philan
thropist long ago decided that mankind
needed nothing so much as a colio-proof
ououmber. He had for years appreci
ated the delicate taste of that watery
vegetable, and had the fullest realization
of its cooling effect when served, acidu
lated and iced, with the morning meal.
nat ins pleasure was always destroyed
by a knowledge that the feast would be
followed by that abdominal torture
which the cucumber is so well fitted to
Eroduoe. Hs therefore concentrated
is mental powers on the production of
a ououmber which would satisfy the
palate without offending any of the
organs with which it might afterward
come in contaot. His plan was to apply
to the nngrown vegetable the remedies
which are found effective in allaying the
pain which it causes to human beings.
He therefore chose some perfect seeds
and wrapped each seed in a small piece
of warm flannel soaked with camphor.
In the soil where the seeds were de
posited he put a layer of ground mus
tard and a sprinkling of cayenne pep
per. As soon as the plants appeared
above the ground he sprinkled them
daily with laudanum and brandy, and,
in order that both schools of medicine
might share in the glory of his scheme,
he suspended over each hill a bottle con
taining nux vomica and arnica in pel
lets. By this moans he proposes to enre
the cucumbers of the colio whioh they
contain instead of waiting to apply the
remedies to suffering man after the vege
table has done its work. It is too early
for Hackensock cucumbers yet, but
when the new species is ready for market
aud proved a success there can be no
doubii of the demand for them or of
their inventor's glory.
Making Coffee In a Court Boom.
A suit was brought before Justice
Green and a jury of three men yester
day which contains many carious ele
ments. Recently the wife of a well
known firm on Water street bought, in a
considerable bill of household goods, a
coffee pot. paying $1.75. But neither
she nor her maid could make acceptable
coffee from the pot, and it was returned
to the dealer. He refused to receive it,
and the huBbsnd sued him. Messrs.
Adams and Rogers represented the de
fendant, and the plaintiff managed his
own case. The manner of procedure
was unique, to say the least. The
dealer took the coffee pot and a liberal
supply of coffee, sugar and cream, a
gasoline stove, and a coHee grinding mill
into the court room. The coffee-was
ground in the presence of the jury, the
gasoline lit in the stove, water and
ground coffee were put into the pot, and
the same was allowed to boil over the
gasoline blaze. At length the concoc
tion was pronounced complete, and it
was properly mixed with sugar and cream
and passed to the jurors and the justice.
What juryman could withstand such
sweet blandishments? They called for
more, aud as there was plenty and to
spare, their request was granted. At
length the three retired for consultation,
and returning rendered a verdict for the
man who made the toffee. Cleveland
