We have tried olay and ordinary dirt, but they did not prove satisfactory. Holes would be dug almost d iily by the forefeet, the urine would gather there, and unless great care was taken to fill them Up and to smooth over the soil daily and wash the horses' feet, scratches would follow, and probably what is commonly called quarter-crack result, which is likely Eermanntly to injure the animals, and and even sawdust have been . recommended, but as they were clearly not desirab'e, we never tried either. We beyan with plank flooring, mere dissuaded from using it, but have re turned to it, and found it preferable to the others. We prefer hemlock, a : double two-inch plank, with the front part kept weil covered with straw at all times for the fore-feet, and at nights to be well-bedded with straight rye straw. We have found no disadvantages from the flooring; the leet have not snffered, so far as we can discover. Some object to the planks, first, because they are hard, and others that they be come slippery, and the horse is liable to fall and strain himself iu gelling up; dug, 11 we re meruoer rightly, the plank roads were not objected to on account of their hard ness or slipperynojs; and as to slipping, if tho flooring U a little inclined the water is carried back, whence a sli ht gutter, also inclining somewhat, either removes it Irom thesiableon tlie outside, HT it .4 mJIiiwpH tn niaa iinrlor ttin Hnor - through small holes in the gutter. But where these arrangements have not been made, a covering of sifted coal ashes over the floor will pre . vent the slipping.

Dairy Note. In the manufacture of butter the cus tom has become general afier churning to wasli the butter with cold brine of greater or less Strength, not "nly to wash it once, but twice, if the tirst washing does not remove every trace of buttermilk. An exchange says that white-oak firkins soaked for two days in sour milk, when washed out and soaked one day in strong brine, and then rubbed thoroughly with salt maku the best ves sels for packing butter. The secretary of the Rov tural society, of England, advises to stop the churn when the butter i. the bum of a pin-head, draw off the butier milk and water, and repeat this water bath until no buttermilk remains. In this he dittvrs from nimy dairymen who churn until the butter reaches the size ot wheat grains. Butter niusf be packed while perfectly fresh.

A Bird Flies Througli a Pane of Glass, A ball fired from a pistol or rifle at a pane of glass will cut a clean hole through the pane the size of the buliet, cracking the pane but breaking out no pieces except the one before it. This curious principle is made use of in marine and other eunnerv sIuds when near together, using very small' charges ui powuer which causes the ball to crash in a ship's timber, while with heavy charge it would cut a hole only the size of itself. This attribute of pro jectiles has received a very curious illus tration at a house in the suburbs of Waco. Texas. The ladv was startled by a crash, and entering the room where it, occurred saw lying on tue noor a small bird hawk fluttering in death, while near it jay a little bird dead, and which it had evidently just dropped from its talons.

An usher in a New York church caused a sensation one Sundxy even ing recently. As the pastor entered the pulpit he was shocked by a sudden outburst of mirth in the choir eallerv. Two young persons, wearing ulsters and Derby hats, had been shown to teats. The usher was surprised when only one of them removed his hat. He waited some time for the offending head covering to be removed, and then reached over the back of a pew and re moved it nimself. Immediately he dis covered, as did many other persons, that the wearer was a young lady, and therefore entitled to wear a hat in church. Above the noise of the organ ist's voluntary rose that of the involun tary mirth of many in the congregation, Tattooing, We doubt if theownersof those rough hands that follow thewoik ot tattooing "on boird ship" to-rtity know much of tho antiquity of the custrm, or would find much meaning in the statement 'hat it must have been not merely one of the first steps in thedocoratlon of the person, but one of the first achieve ments when that decoration began to assume the shape of art, however rudely. It seems to have been prac ticed by the nioie uncouth baibarians as far back as we have any record, and always to have bien a fashion with most ot the islanders of the southern half of the globe, with whom it is a soit of asplrstion toward the pictoral. Captain Cook, speaking of the people who met him at Adventure bay, savs they "wore no ornaments, unless we consider as such, and as a proof of their love of finery, some large punctures of ridges raised on different parts of their bodies, some in straight and others in eurved lines.'' Among people of paler face, the sail ors have almost a monopoly of the cus torn. Some older man of their number becomes an expert in the matter, and they submit themselves to his skill. The "saucy ship" that is stippled over the heart of ihe man before the mast, is carried by him almost as religiously as a pledge o't faith; he adds to it the flag and shield, the name of his "girl," a heart pierced with darts, anchors and cables, verses and mottoes and legends, all drawn in red and blue ink, with a p elision of which, while his open shirt betrays it, he erows prouder every day as an ornament, although first assumed as a badge of loyalty to all that is dear est to him. Nowhere Is tattooing to be seen done in the complete manner in which it is exhibited by the natives of the South sea islands. There it is a mark of pov erty, almost a disgrace, if a young man his not undergone the operation in more or less elaborate style.

It is the habit there forseverai young men to unite und go throuh the affair together, companion ship making it more endurable, and, by means ol the rotation of the victim, some rest and relief being found during lue process, winch is both painlul and tedious, owing to the absorption of the coloring matter and the irritation of the inllnitessirual punctures, It omipies two or more months, and sometimes costs as much as two thous and dollars of our money.

Russian Scandal. Now that the " fifteen puzzle " craze has about passed into oblivion, another interesting game and one less perplex ing and more simple holds tli" boards. It is called "Russian Scandal" and is very popular with evening gatherings of young people. In this game one member of the company writes a short story on a slate making it as full of incident as he can. He then goes outside the door, and calls one of ins companions to him and reads the story aloud once, very distinctly. After dding'tnis he walks awav and carries the slate with him. The p-rson to whom the story was read, summons another of the party and narrates the story to him ns exactly as h can re member it. The t hird person tells it to a fourth, and the fourth to a fifth, and si on till each one of the party lias had the story narrated to him privately and solemnly outside the door. When all have heard it, tho hist. one to go out conies into the room and nar rates the story to the whole company. The original is then read from the slate, and it is quite curious to notice how it is altered in the course of transmission. There is no necessity for any intentional accuracy. If only there is plenty of in cident in the tale it will be found that it is almost impossible fof the person who last heard the story to repeat it exactly as the tirst one gave it. The little fuss that is made in entering and leavinit the room makes the difficulty of remem brance the greater. Lawyers Under Peter. Peter the Great, of Russia, was a mon arch of large views Lut invincible preiu uiccs. He loved his ccuntry, and longi d to si e it take a higher idace in Europ an history. He saw clearly that progress Ciuld be made only hy the introduction of i.e.v industries and by skillful train ing in mi chanical la"or. To forward th's end he visited in dis guise the older nations of Europe, made n niself thoroughly acquainted with their foimsot industry, and worked as a common mechanic at various trades. He sent, also, numerous young men of promise to great cities in other coun tries, to acquire skill in the mechanical arts, nnd to become teachers of their countrymm. But, wh!le honoring all well trained mechanics, he had a rooted contempt for lawyers, it puzzled him to understand how thev oc cupied high positions in England and Franco. They multiplied auarrels. he said, and fattened on tho life-blood of others. Vexed at tho high esteem in which they were held elsewhere, he vented his wrath in the memorable threat : " I am thankful I have onlv two lawyers in my empire. When I return I mean to execute one of them."

They aie mentioned as worn on the high priest'srobes (Exodus xxviii.38). The prophet Zachariah (xvi.20) i-peaks of " hells of the horses," which were prob ably hung on the bridles of war horsis to accustom thein to noise. Bells were use I by the Greeks and Romans in private houses and in camns and garrifons. The hour of bathing at Rome was announced by the sound of a bell. The priest of Proserpine, at Alliens, rung a bell to call the people to sacrifice. According to Pliny, the mon ument of Porsenna wns decorated with bells. SliPcp-bells of bronze were used in ancient Italy, and are yet preserved in the museum of Naples. Bells were fraught into use for churches by Paulinus, bishop of Nola, in Campania, about the year 1400. They are first mentioned In England by Bede, townrd the end of the seventh century. Chimes, or peals of bells, are of an cient date, the first chimes introduced Into England having been put up at Croyland Abbey, in 060. In tho cathedral of Limerick, Ireland, is a chime of bells about which an af fecting story is told. They were made by an Italian for e monastery in Italy. A revolution swept the land; he became arelueeeand an exile: the monastery was destroyed; the bells were carried off. After many years of Wandering, he came to Ireland. As the vessel which carried ' him sailed along the placid Shannon the sunset chimes rang out from the cathedral, and he recognized the sweet sounds. They came from the belis which he had made. He leaned against the railing of the deck and lis tened in silent rapture to the well known, long-unheard music. .The boat reached the wharf; the sailors spoke to htm, then touched him he was dead. His spirit had depnrted while listening to the ravishing sounds. Some writers say that the cus om of uiiiisiiniii iMTna wits luiiouuci'u iy Pope John XIII , who occupied the pontifical chair from 965 to 972, and who first conseciated a bell in the Lateran church and gave it the name of John the Baptist. But it is evidently of an older standing, for there is an express prohibi tion of the practice in a capitular of unariemagne, in 76a. Pope John IX. ordered bells to be rung as a defense asrainst thunder and lightning, in the year 900. All the bells In Europe were rung in 1456, by order of Pope Calixtus III., to scare away Hal ley's comet, which was supposed to be in some manner identified with Mo hammed II., who had just taken Con stantinople. The comet left, but Mo hammed stayed. It was an ancient custom to rine bells for persons about to expire, to notify the people to pray for them, from which arose the name.of "passing bells." It was supposed that the sound of the bells drove away evil spirits. The wealthy were induced to bequeath prop ei ty for the support of favorite bells, which were ti be runirat their funerals. During the thirteenth century, large bells began to be cast- The "Jacque line" of Paris, cast in 1300. weighed 15. 000 pounds; one cast in Paris in 1472, weighed ' 15,000 pounds; the bell of Rouen, cast in 1501, weighed over 36,- 000 pounds. The great bell of Moscow, cast bv or. der of limpress Anne in 1734. weiehed 193 tons. It remained suspended only until 1737, when it fell, in consequence ol a tire, and remained partially buried in the earth until 1H37. when it was raised, and now forms the dome of a chapel formed by excavating the earth underneath. Some deny that the bell was ever suspended, while others in si.-t that it was, and that, when in mo tion, it ngitntcd the air of the surround' ins country for forty miles. The great bell cf Burmah, at a temple In the environs of Amarapoora, weighs 200.000 pounds. Klaprath states that in an edifice before the great temple of Buddah, at Jeddo, is the largest bell in the world. It weighs 1.7(10,000 po"nds. four times greater than the great bell of Moscow, and htty-six times lareer than the ereat bell of Westminster. England. The finest bell in England was the ereat Tom of Lincoln, considerably older than St. Paul's. Its elevation gave it an horizon of titty miles in every di rection. Its note was like the chord of A upon a full organ It fell from its support and was destroyed. On the lnrgest of three bells placed by Edward III. in the Littlo Sanctuary, Westminster, are these lines: " King Edward made mo thirty-thousand weight and three; Take me down and weiyh me, and more you shall rind me." On the famous alarm bell called Ro land, in a belfry tower in the once pow erful city of Ghent, is engraved the sub joined inscription, in the old Walloon or Flemish dialect: "My name is Roland; when I toll there is Are, And when I ring there is vietory in the lund!" The bell known as the Liberty bell, which, on the fourth of July. 1776, an nounced the signing of the Declaration of Independence, in Philadelphia, has upon it the following inscription, taken from Levituus, xxv. 10: "Proclaim liberty throughout the land, unto all tne inhabitants thereof." The Hollanders exhibit the most en thusiastic fondness for bells. Every church and public building is hung rouud with them in endless variety, hi Amsterdam, not less thau a thousand bells are kept constantly ringing, which creates a r.in that is almost intolerable to strangers. Ooklen Days. The Effect or Coffee. Dr. Richardson, the eminent English scientist, refers to a statement that cof fee is an unhealthy beverage, that it keeps up constant irritation of the stomach, and brings on depression of spirits, etc. There was a great deal of truth in that statement, says the doctor, as coffee cannot be taken in excess with out producing dyspepsia and irritation, but moderately used it is an invigorat ing, healthful and wholesome drink, bunging a man's best energies into play. The quant'ty taken, however, must not be large, and should be good. Dr. Bock, of Leipsic, another cele brated scientist, says : " The nervous ness and peevishness of our times are chiefly attributable to tea and coffee; the digestive organs of confirmed coffee drinkers are in" a state of chronic de rangement, which reacts on the brain, producing fretful and lachrymose moods. Fine ladies addicted to strong coffee have a characteristic temper, which I might describe as a mania for acting the persecuted saint. Cocoa and chocolate is neutral in its pyschio ef fects, and is really the most harmless of our fashionable drinks." Sawdust is not a very marketable commodity. If we except the manu fao ure ol dolls, there are few uses to which that article can be put. Mr. Grossman, of Petersburg, Va., has been granted a patent which may put saw dust to a useful purpose. He intends to make railroad ties, fence posts, paving and building blocks, eta., outof sawdust. This artificial wood, it is claimed, can be made tire and water proof, and no in sects will attact it. It will take a high polish and stand a higher pressure than ordinary wood. It also can be cut and sawed and allow of nails being driven into it. The process is said to be simple and cheap. A Pitiable Tale. The followine verdict was recently returned by a coroner's jury in Ken mare, Ireland : "We find that the de ceased, Denis Sullivan, died suddenly in the market house, Kenmaro, from natural causes) and we further find, after the most painstaking investiga tion, that his death resulted from des titution nnd insufficiency of tooo." ihe Kerrv Sentinel savs: The immediate circumstances attending this poor man's death reveal a truly sad stoiy. All who know the prostrate cond ition of our people this trying year of famino know that they suDer from a scarcity of fuel as well as from a scarcity of food. The year was unsuited, in a great measure, to the saving oi turt, and, even in more propitious years the price charged by landlords for turbary is often so high that poor people who have not con stant employment; cannon manage io purchase the bog. In this pressing crisis the Marquis of Lansdowne, who owns vast estates aiound Ken mare, gave not a slick or a chip to aflord tiring te tne. poor, nnu, u appear?, actually keeps a sort of sylvan Cerberus in the shape of a wood bailiff to pre serve the rotten branches of trees and bits of thorn from being taken home to the tireless hearths of the poor. For "ntering upon some part of the Marquis of Lansdowne's property, and picking bits of whitethorn for tiring, the wife of this poor man was brought to court and fined. The inhumanity of the act is best demonstrated from the fact that the bailiff who prose cuted swore the value of Ihe Slicks to be but one penny. For this mon strous crime, this terrible injustice to the most noble Alarquis ot hanpdownp, the poor woman was hned in, hctwren costs nnd compensation, the sum of 3. Id. Tiie fine not being paid she was to have been arrested and cst into jail, when the poor man rose up from thnt bed where hunger and want had pros trated him, and went in search of an official of the Lansdowne office who owed him the amount; and it was while engaged on this me'ancholy mission that death overtook him.
