FIRM, UiBUEt ND HOCSEUOLD. On. Plowing. As remarked by an observant farmer, there is a short statement of truth which has made some men rich. It is this: What is worth doing at all is worth doing well." The farmer who does not recognize this truth and act according to its requirements will always be of the opinion that " farming does not pay." Therefore, we say, do not profane the plow with your touch if you do not in tend to plow well; not that, only, but first-rate. To this end observe the fol lowing rules: 1. Always have your plow sharp, Nover go to the field with an instrument which is not in a condition to do good work. A good workman may be thwart- eu irv Dim toois, ana anil tools are a good indication of a lazy farmer. 2. Remember that to plow well does not mean to turn over a clean furrow ; to do that may be well, but that is not all. Good plowing is the thorough pul verization of the soil, and he who can dissolve an acre of ground into the finest partioles is the best plowman, for he ex poses most surface to the seed which shall be sown. The ground cannot be too finely ground np. Here lies the secret of fine crops so far as mechanioal agenov is ooneerned, 3. Plow an inch or so deein-r each year, and thus deepen your seed bed, and bring the subsoil into contact with light and air for their chemical opera tions. You can never go too deep, pro vided you go slowly. Time will change igneous rooks ntofraitful soil. 4. Never be in a hurry at this kind of Work. If you nave not the time to do your work right, just make the time. One acre well plowed is worth two aores half way done. Look out for those hard plaoes where the instrument tries to jump out. Stop, here is an enemy that must be conquered, and you must not neglect it. These spots determine the real from the artificial workman. Try it over again. " Ton will conquer, never fear, Try, try again. 5. If a rock or root or any other ob struction is in yonr way, stop and get rid of it entirely. If it is a rook, put it on your fenoe or throw it into a sink hole. Never let it bother yon again. Dispose of it at once. C. Do not ride on your plow handles. Yonr team has draught enough to over come without yonr laziness adding fifty pounds more. Biding on the handles never does good work. 7. Stand square between the handles, arms so stiff that you must be lifted off your feet before the plow con veer from its course; then lift a little on the han dles, and you will do better work and lighten the draught by twenty-five or fifty pounds. 8. Keep your eye ahead of your team, and turn every inch; a bad workman covers, and grain is lost. 9. When done take your plow and clean it well, and put under cover out of the way of wet and moisture, which, like rot, soon destroy a valuable implement. Farm and Garden Nates Onions chopped fine and mixed with the feed of fowls three times a week are pronounced beneficial by the Poultry World. Mr. Meehan says that whitewash is frequently resorted to by farmers, but the great objection is its unsichtly ap pearance ; the result is otherwise good. It is said by a farmer who has tried the experiment so often as to be sure of bis ground, that buttermilk poured over the baok of a scurvy pig will en tirely and speedily remove the scurf. Any mrn who will establish in his garden an experimental plot, can select the best heads of the most prolitlo wheat, sowing the next year the beet heads alone, and still selecting from this the best heads, using the balance for field use, and in this manner keeping always one year ahead. This will make good seed. The ever-blooming roses are best for house culture in pots because they bloom quicker and more continuously than any of the others, and besides this, their style and habit of growth is more bushy and better adapted to the pur pose. They can be kept nicely with other growing plants, and with proper attontion to their requirements will bloom freely. A Russian chemist gives the following process for the preparation of bones for manure, which, it is said, has received the approbation of Liebig. , Mix 400 parts of ground bones with 100 parts of wood ashes, containing ten per cent, ot carbonate of potash, and add sixty parts of quicklime. This mixture is placed in a tank or barrel, with water sufficient to make the whole moibt. Jn a short time the bony matter is completely dis aggregated by the caustic potaph, while the pasty nines formed is then takt-L from the tank, dried, mixed with an equal, amount of mold, and is then ready to be distributed. The following facts should be born in miu i ; Every fully developed plant, whether of wheat, oats or barley, etc., presents an ear superior in productive power to anv part of the rest of that plant. 2. Every such plant contains one giain whion, upon trial, proves more productive than any other. 3. The superior vigor of the best grain is transmissible in different degrees hi its progeny. 4. By repeated cartful selection the superiority is accumulated. 6. The improvement which is at first rapid, gradually, after a long series of years, is diminished in amount, and eventually so far arrested that, practi cally speaking, a limit to improvement in the desired quality is reached. 6. By fctill continuing to select, the im provement is maint dned, and practical ly a fixed type is the result. A Simple Insect Kill er. The Gardeners' Chronicle has the following testimony from Mr. Knight, of Floor's castle gardens, England, on the destruction of scale, etc., on plants. It is simply, he says, to syringe plants infected with bug and scale with water diluted in the proportion of one wine- glassful of paraffiue oil to four gallons of water. The oil and water must be kept thoroughly mixed with the syringe one charge into the can and one on the plant. He has used it with oranges, gardenias, erotons and many other plants which had bug and scale on them, and w'iile ic is said not to injure the young leaves in the least, it is certain death to the insects. Diphtheria broke out in the family of Samuel Randall, of Mankato, Minn., re cently, and carried off four of his cnu dren within four days. The bodies of two other ohildren, who died some time previously, and bad been buried in an ol 1 cemetery, were disinterred, and the six little coffins were carried to the graveyard at the same time in the pres enoe of an immense conoourse of people, Half a dozen onions planted in the cellar, where they can get a little light, will do mnoh toward absorbing and cor recting the atmospherio impurities that re so apt to lurk in sucn places. Dr. Foot' jJeaUh UmiMy, THE POWER OF CHEMISTRY. A Professor's Fole-The Terrible Deetrac. tlvenree Latent In mm Chemicals. A most unfortunate accident which has occurred at Prague recalls in many of its details and circumstances the quaint traditions that were once preva lent with regard to the mediteval al chemists. Professor Fischer, of the Prague gymnasium, a young man only twenty-five years of age, and of the highest eminence in his profession that of chemistry has come to an un timely end, tinder the most melancholy circumstances. No one needs to be told that cyanide of potassium, a drug large ly used in photography, is a poison of the most deadly character. Its active ingredient is prnssio aoid. Prussio acid in its pure, or as chemists would term it "anhydrous " form, is a substance too dangerous to be kept, or even manu factured. If a glass capsule containing a wineglassfnl of pure prussio aoid were broken in the pit of a theater, those among the audience who were nearest the doors might perhaps 6soape, but the great majority would be killed on the spot The prussio acid ordinarily sold, and occasionally used for killing dogs and cats, contains about a drop of the pure acid to a quarter of a pint of water. -ure prussio acid no chemist dare keep. He might as well compress a ton of dy namite into a single cartridge suppos ing such package to be possible and then leave the deadly parcel lying loose upon his table. Cyanide of potassium is not, like prus sio acid, volatile. It is a white powder, rather resembling flour or chalk. It is, however, so poisonous that a mere pinch of it, sprinkled over an open wound or sore, will cause almost instan taneous death ; that a fragment, almost imperceptible to the eye, will, if swal lowed, prove equally fatal, and that its mere smell has before now produced immediate death. It was, it seems, the ambition of Professor Fischer to discover some means of rendering cyanide of potassium harmless. We can do this with gunpowder although the analogy is not strictly exact, the means employed with gunpowder being mechanioal. while those for which Professor Fischer sought were cnemicai. we know what happens if a light is applied to a kesr of gunpow der. If, however, we mix the powder with four or five times its bulk of saw dust, a torch may be held to it with im punity. The mechanical resistance of the sawdust makes it impossible for the explosion to at once spread to the whole mass, and the consequence is that a sort oi splutter ensues, like that of a squib or blue light. Professor Fischer's idea was that if cvanide of potassium were thoroughly mixed with sal ammoniac, it would be as harmless as gunpowder mixed with sawdust, but would still re main equally available for all those pur poses oi pnotograpny lor which it is at present absolutely indispensable. In the course of his researches. Mr. Fischer made a mixture, of which in his own mind he felt assured that it would meet the conditions of his problem. He compounded the cyanide with some other substance, and then turning to his laboratory assistant said: "Soienoe has now so far advanced as to be even able to render harmless so dangerous an agent as cyanide of potas sium. " With these words he tasted the mix tnre, and was almost in an instant seized with the most violent and excruciating agonies, tie at once implored bis assist ant to send for medical aid. Cyanogen, however whether as prussio acid or as cyanide of potassium kills almost instantaneously, in a few seconds Fro fessor Fischer was bevond help. We are told that there is possible reason to suppose that a deliberate suicide had been planned and carried out, under the mask of experiment. On the contrary, there is every reason to believe that the professor had met the fate which befell only too many of the early chemists and their predecessors, the alchemists. We know, now, what will happen to anyexperitnentalist if he dips blotting paper in nitric acid, washes it, dries it, and then incautiously treads upon it. What happened to the man who is be lieved for his record perished with him to have first discovered fulmiuate of silver, is matter of scientific reoord. That he was engaged in researches upon the fulminates of the higher metals, was well known. How it precisely came about that he disappeared as he did will remain matter of conjecture. There came one day a puff, a slight shock, and a smart noise as if some one had inflate, a paper bag, and then burst it between his hands. Of the professor himself, of bis laboratory, of his apparatus and of much else within the radius of some yards, not a vestige or trace was left. So it used to be with the alchemists the heritors of the hidden wisdom of Bohme, and R ger Bacon and Albertus Magnus. They were always blowing themselves up, or asphyxiating them Helves with some noxious vapor. For a man who knows nothing, or next to nothing, of chemistry, it is a very dan gerous game indeed to mix together a i . , . i i i i wupio ui Buusiauo. a oi which no snows i nothing, and then bray them in a mor- tar. Common sulphur is harmless stuff enough, so is charcoal, so is nitre ; but let an ignorant man mix the three and apply a light to them, and the result will mnoh astonish him. Apart from the sad faot that a young man with a bright and indeed brilliant future before him should be thus sud denly cut off, the death of Professoi Fischer has auother moral. Chemistry whatever Mr. Lowe may have to say in praise of civil engineering is the soienoe of the world and of the f nture. The bridge which takes the engineer years upon years to construct, the chemist can, in as many sixtieths of a second, reduce to atoms. Obemutry has given us the balloon ; it has put into our hands gunpowder, nitro-glyoerine, dynamite, and, above all, fulminate of gold an explosive so terrible that if an onnoe of it be left in a stoppered bottle, its grains falling among themselves by their own weight, will create a convulsion suffijient to lay all London in ru ns. It has given us poisons so subtle that were we to re solve to employ suoh means of warfare we could sail in a balloon over the camp of the enemy and drop upon it a shell, the burning of which would kill every human being within a mile of its range. Then, too, chemistry has given ns dis infectants. To the chemist we owe carbolio acid, chloride of lime, and per manganate of potash. Chemists have taught ns to disinfect onr sewers and drains, to ventilate our houses, to burn gas instead of oil, and to light onr streets with what is more powerful than even gas itself the electric light. It is to chemistry, indeed, that we owe al most all the comforts of every-day life. But, on the other hand, the possi bilities of chemistry are almost too terrible to be contemplated. As the soienoe at present stands, any student oan, if he nrve access to a well-stored laboratory, carry away with k.im in a E ill-box matter sufficient to lay London i ruins, or to poison the. w'aole com munity of its inhabitants. The chemist ean, as every schoolboy knows, convert water into ice in the center of a red-hot crucible. He can construct a shell the sice ot a cricket-ball which will explode the moment it touches the water, and overwhelm in flames a hostile fleet. Indeed, the chemist red noes the world to its original and primal elements. For him, even more than for the engineer, nothing is impossible. And yet his power, vast as it is, is limited. He can more easily destroy than construct. He ean take life, but he cannot give it. He can level a city with the plain, but he cannot build it again. He can create prussio aoid, but he is ignorant of ii itidote. He is like the fisherman who rashly opened the vessel seMrd with the ring of Suleiman Ben' Daoud. The forces at his control are beyond his 0 immand ; the powers he can evoke he cannot lay. It is the old story of Cor nelius Agrippa those who trifle with nature's secrets do so at their peril London Observer, A Heartrending Story. A London correspondent tells this sad story of a young American lady: Ood help the poor women who have gone down to the gates of death in London, Paris, Dresden, Berlin and other places victims of an ambition which, at home, might have secured them employment in some respectable capacity ; but here, no dcor offering, they have per ished I Is this a fancy sketch 1 Xjisten, In 1872 there came a young lady from America as governess. It appears that the lady who engaged her discharged her from no fault but that of refusing to take a servant's situation in addition to that of governess. The following letter speaks for itself. In despair she went to Westminster bridge, threw aside her bat and shawl and plunged into tne Thames. A police officer who saw her went to her rescue, but too late. Life was extinct. Next a funeral was gotten up for her. and a monument was erected over her grave. Thus for bread she was given a stone I This letter was found in her room : " The crime I am about to commit, and that I must suffer for hereafter, is nothing compared to my present misery, Alone in London, not a penny or friend to advise or lend a helping hand, tired and weary with looking for something to do, failing in every way, footsore and heart -weary, I prefer death to the dawning of another wretched morning, I have only been in Britain nine weeks, I came as nursery governess with a lady from America to Wick, in Scotland, whence she discharged me, refusing to pay my passage baok, giving me my wages, which amounted to 3 10s. After my expenses to London, I found myself in this great city with only five shillings. What was I to do f I sold my watch. The paltry sum I obtained from that soon went in paying for my board and in looking for a situation. Now I am destitute ; every day is a misery to me, No friends no hope no money. Oh, Uod of heaven, have mercy upon a poor. helpless sinner I Thou knowest how have striven against this ; but fate is against me. I cannot tread the path of sin, lor my dead mother will be watch ing me. Fatherless, motherless, home I have none ; oh, for the rarity of Chris tian hearts I I am not mad. For days I have foreseen that this would be the end. May all who hear of my end for give me, and may Uod Almighty do so, before whom I must soon appear. Fare well to all this beautiful and yet wretch. ed world. Alice Blanche Oswald, "I am twenty years, of age on the fourteenth of this month.''' The Daily News, tonohing the suicide of this youug person, says : The thought of her awful situation fatherless, motherless, homeless was too much for her brain. The severe self-respect which restrained her from telling even the people with whom she lodged of her difficulties, seemed, as her letter shows, to shut her up to the fatal course she adopted. That letter also shows how tremendous was the struggle that took place in her mind before the last resolu tion was taken. It was evident that she bad nothing to leam as to the character of suicide. In the first line of her letter she designates her act as a crime, and in the last she commends the whole cir cumstances of her case to the judgment which is unerring and the mercy that is infinite. And so she left the world, without vindictiveness not so much as mentioning the name of the woman who had used her harshly but with humble, trustful prayers. A sadder story it has not been our lot to reoord the more sad because it seems that so little help, had it but come in time, would have saved one for whom the world would gladly have found or made a plaoe. Who Was the Headsman. In his history of his life and times, Lilly, the famous English astrologer of the seventeenth century, when examined before the first parliament of Charles If., anent the vizored executioner ol Charles I., said that the next Sunday but one after Charles I. was beheaded, Robert Spavin, Cromwell's secretary, and others dined with him, when the chief subject of conversation was who beheaded the king. One said it was the common hangman, others Hugh Peters, but no one spoke with certaiuty. After dinner, however. 8pavin privately con ffBed to Lilly that the executioner was Col. Joyce. " I was in the room," he said, "when he fitted himself for the work ; stood behind him when he did it ; when done, went in with him again. There is no man knows this but my master" (Cromwell). On the other hand, William Hnlett, alias Howlett, was tried and convicted of having struck the fatal blow. But there was very strong evidence that he was not the man, and founded a belief that his conviction mainly arose out of a determination to fasten the guilt somewhere. One of the witnesses for his defense said : " When my Lord Capell, the Dnke of Hamilton, and the Earl of Holland were beheaded in the palace-yard, Westminster, my Lord Capell asked the common hang man : ' Did you out off my master's head J' Yes,' saith he. Where is the instrument that did itf ' He then brought the axe. ' la this the same axe: are yon sure T ' said my lord. ' Yes, my lira,' said the hangman, 'I am very sure it is the same.' My Lord Capell took; the axe and kissed it and gave him five pieces of gold. I heard him say : ' Sirrah, wert thou not afraid?' Saith the hangman : 'They made me cut it off. and I had 30 for my pains.'" One Walker, who died so late as 1700, also labored nnder a suspicion of having d-ae the deed, ana also one .Henry forter. but the identity has, we believe, never been thoroughly established. It seems that a like mystery hung around the ex ecutioner of Roburt Emmet, the seventy .fifth anniversary of whose death occur red recently, for the report comes from Ireland that Barney Moran, who lately died in a workhouse in that country, near 100 years old, confessed that he was Emmet's executioner. His life, no doubt, depended one time on secrecy, Remarkable Conduct of ft Dog. A Scotch paper aavs : A Brouirhtv Ferry lady, writing to her friends from Dublin, gives an account ef a strange occurrence by which her husband was saved from being run down in a ferry boat. The gentleman was just about to step into the ferryboat to cross the river, when a large retriever rushed up on him, oaught hold of his trousers with its teeth, aru at the same time kept up a constant howl. It was only after con siderable difficulty that he could get himself released, and by that time the ferryboat had shoved off into the river. The gentleman naturally felt much an noyed at being prevented from crossing, but his feelings were changed when, a minute later, he saw the ferryboat run down by a steamer which had approached without noticing the boat. The passen gers were thrown into the water, but, fortunately, the crew of the steamer were successful in savins; them ail. some being very mnoh exhausted, however. While thinking of the singular means by which he had been saved from the accident, the gentleman could not help notioing the conduot of the dog, which followed closely at his heels. He tried every means to get rid of it during the day, but in the afternoon the animal was still following him, and he was obliged to take it home with him. The dog has now been installed as watchman of the house, and has already shown great at tachment to the sentleman and his family. A Woman's Promise. Henry Carey, cousin of Queen Eliza beth, after having enjoyed her majesty's favor for several years, lost it in the fol lowing manner : as he was walking one day full of thought in the garden of the palace, under the queen's window, she perceived him. and said to him in a jocular manner : " wnat does a man think of when ne is thinking of nothing?" " Upon a woman s promise," replied Carey. " Well done, cousin, answered Eliza beth. She retired, but did not forget Carey 8 answer. Home time atter he solicited the honor of a peerage, and reminded the queen that she had promised it to him. "True." said she. "but that was a woman s promise. This is the season," says the Free Press, when the girl, whose stern father has kicked her lover out-doors, packs np a few things, writes an eight-page letter to her mother, drops a clothes-line from her chamber window, and at midnight, when silence reigns, raises the sash, sees how dark it is, andjumps into bed as fast as she can.
