FARM, GARDES ASD HOUSEHOLD, How Many Emit We are oftrn asked how man; eepg wny be expected from a certain Dreed of lowls yearly. Well, how much butter will a Jersey cow make yearly? These questions depend on the keeping and health of the fowls or cows in great de gree. Hens have been known to produce over S250 eggs yearly, but 200 is an extra yield. We have often heard of cows that would live twenty quarts of milk dnily, and of others from whose product two pounds of butter could be made daily ; but in our purchases we have not as yet been the fortunate owner of either of this class. To return to fowls, we will add that a flock of ten hens that will net 1,400 etrgs per annum is an extra flock ; while to still further brush away these flowery anticipations, we will bring a fair average yield to ten dozen per year per hen. These, at thirty cents per dozen, amount to three dollars: from this deduct half for feed, and the net profit is no mean one. Over-production In eggs makes uncertainty in hatching cuicKens, so oe ni oner ate in giving sum ulauts. Poultry Yard. Mystery of Fertilization. For the last forty years there has been no article known to agriculturists which has so largely claimed the attention of tne man ot science, or indirectly that of the farmer, as has nitrogen. Theory and practice alike have confirmed the opinion that there is no more important element, eitner in tne vegetable or ani mal kingdom, thnn this: and vet how. or in what manner, or in what kind of combinations it enters into the vegeta ble kingdom we know no more thnn we aid when the inquiry first began. We can discourse eloquently upon t'.efertil izing qualities of Peruvian guano; we can tell how its' fertilizing qualities de pend upon the amount ot nitrogen it con ains; but in what condition that nitrogen enters into the parts we are yet in the dark. We know that clover is a wonderful fertilizer, that it leaves a largs amount of nitrogen in the soil, in its roots and scattered leaves; but whether it did not accumulate the whole from the soil, and present it. to us in new compounds, or through its leaves, presenting substances to the nitrogen in tne atmosphere which would combine with it. so that it could be carried to the soil and be made of advantage to other vegetation, we are to-day as ignorant as we were a hundred years ago. But this we do know, that one Kinu 01 vegetation docs furnish and prepare food for another kind, and in this way we find the practical value of alternating crops. Mr. Lawes, in 1873. experimented with barely and clover. He sowed half a field with barlev without manure. which had been kept in that crop the mree previous years nnd fertilized with artificial manures; the other half had been sown to clover the year previous. The yield of barley was thirty-one bushels to the acre; and clover, three tons forty-eight pounds per acre. The next year the whole held was sown to baney without manure. The half previously in barlev cave 323 bushels: the other half after clover gave fifty eight bushels per acre. Thus we see mat, alter taking off a very valuable crop of clover, he had increased the fer tility of the soii to almost double that of the half which had been in barley. Now. without entering inti nnv enppn- lative theories of where this amount of iertinzing material ennie from, we have the facts, which we cannot ignore, that by the aid of clover the crop of barley " j mvisu, nui i il u yv u Willi- out presumption sav that this fertility was the result of nitrceen. which tin clover collected, any more than it was the result of phosphoric acid and potash, which it had alio collected; for, unlet-s there were already accumulated in the soil these two principles, equivalent to uie requisitions oi mat amount of i ar ley, it would have been in vain that the soil obtained through the clover the necessary amount ot nitrogen. Mr. Geddes, of Onondaga, New York, fertil izes to a great txtent with clover. His best market crop is wheat. Ilia tcrti!. izer lor clover is gypsum, and his clover iurnisnes tertiiity for his wheat. Bat Mr. Hums contends! thnt. ho f1 lowing, nitrogen and minerals may be liberated in a year which would pro duce crops Irom which as much proht could be obtained as from the use of clover and cropping every year. This is a nice question to decide. That fal lowing a piece of land, allowing the weeds a good start, then plowing them under, and plowing two or three times during tne summer will develop a won derful amount of fertility there is no doubt. This WUS & Dr&ctinfi nf film not: general application before the event of special fertilizers, una before anythim was known of the theories of either ni trogen or minerals as fertilizers. Jetliro lull's system was that all the fertiliza tion necessary in soils, without even the use of barnyard manure, was in the proper manner of working the soil. But all our experiments are lor the present season uncertain nnd unsatisfactory. We have sown patches with clover, in order to teat its fertilizing powers, also with a number of different fertilizers; but the weather, which is beyond the control of man, has dried the clover. Neither have we had rain enough to render soluble the fertilizers we have used, out we nope that they remain in the ground, waiting for that rain which shall render them available. We used to be told that dry seasons had their advantages as well as disadvantages, acd one was that a wet season carried the salts down into the ground and a uiy season orougut tnem back to the surface ; that, as a result, we had heavy crops succeeding a season of drought. To this there may be two or three solutions. In the first place, during the season of the growth of plants we sel dom have rainfall sufficient to carry the salts below the reach oi the plants, so that the apprehensions we had of fertil izing matter being washed away were needless ; and the fact that in a very dry season the crops were so light they did not use the fertilizers we had applied to the soil, and the heavy crops which suc ceeded a dry season were on account of light crops which had preceded it. Al though we do not entirely discard the idea of salts ascending during a dry sea son, yet we believe that they are not exhausted, but that the intense liht and heat, together with the atmosphere which is let into the ground, will pre pare considerable plant-food, and, if the cultivators and hoes are used as much as they should be in neutralizing the effect of the drought, they will act among potatoes and corn equal to a summer fallow. Dry seasons test our confidence in Mother Earth. Let us patiently wait for and closely observe results. Boston Cultivator. HouMhold UlnU. It is stated on the authority of one who claims to have tried the experi ment, that a handful of hay placed in a pail ot water in a newly-painted room will entirely neutralize thojodor ot the paint. To clean jewelry wash in soapsuds; rinse in diluted alcohol, and lay in a box of dry sawdust to dry. As simple as this seems, it is the very nicest way possible to clean gold chains or orna ments of any kind.

Chaucer was a court'er and diplomat ist as well as a poet. Hi was sent to Frnnce and Italy in the capacity of his king s representative. Although the Chinese had gunpowder many centuries before it was known in Europe, they did not employ it in war, but used it only in fireworks. The Leaning Tower of Pisa wa built in the twelfth century. It is 19) feet high nnd leans thirteen feet from the perpendicular. The inclination was cauied by the settlingof one side of the foundation. The work of printing John Eliot's translation of the Bible into the Indian language was done by an Indian lad named James. Some of his descend ants were living at Grafton, Mass , in the earlier part of this century. They were surnamod Printer. The modesty and honesty of Japan ese beggars are worthy the imitation of their profession all the world over. To save themselves the trouble of an swering the calls of mendicants, the shopkeepers of Japan hang copper coins by strings on nails in front of their shops and when a beeger comes that way he takes one, and only one. He never abuses the merchant's generosity by taking two or more coins, nor by entering the shop to solicit a larger amount than that hung on the nail. One of the most striking objects seen upon approaching Paris is the dome of the Hotel des Invalides which glows in the sunshine like a ball of soli. During Napoleon's reign, when it was reported to him tuat an ominous dis content prevailed among the Parisians, " Go," said the emperor, " and gild the dome of the Invalides." It was done. and the people forgot the tyranny of the government in tueir admiration fc r the new wonder. The gilded dome is a monument to Napoleon's knowledge ot rencii character. Byron, throughout his life, had a profound repugnance to being bled. Wnen he was on his death bed his phy sicians proponed phlebotomy, but Byron refused to allow it, combating the quackeries ot his medical adviser with the loeic ot common sense and experience. But at last, worn out by the persistent importunities of the doc tors, he extended bis arm nnd angrily exclaimed: "There, you butchers, since yon will have it, take as much blood as you like, and have done with it." Repeated bleeding hastened his death. In the crypt of the Capucin church, Vienna, are buried the dead ot the house of Hapsburg. There are more than eighty sarcophaai, a'aiong them those of the Emperor MathiasCorvinus, who died two years before the dis covery of America; Maxamilian, em peror of Mexico; Napoleon II., an'l Joseph I., whose coffin is made of solid silver. Here also i3 the remains of Francis I., whose wite, the heroic Maria Theresa, is said to have visited his tomb daily for thirteen years, until she died and was laid beside him. As a pre caution against premature resurrection, the hearts and intestines of the royal corpses are removed and buried tar away from the Capucin church. Gold in Musical Instruments. The use of gold in the construction of musical instruments, says an exchange, never yet thoroughly investigated, of fers an interesting held for experimei Four metals are distinguished as being capable of being hardened to spring temper, and in that state possess more or less power of vibration. Steel herd ened by tempering is used for pianoforte strings. Brass is hardened by drawing down or flattening, but the elasticity is not equal to steel. Nickel can also be drawn or flattened, and possesses great springiness but no metal, either in a pure state or mixed with other metal, equals gold, if combined with copper, silver, or both, for ductility or of power of vibration. A spiral spring made of fifteen-carat gold that is, fifteen parts of line gold to nine parts of copper drawn into a wire possesses more springiness. Many years ago I super intended the manufacture ot some gold wire on this principle, as a string upon an ordinary pianoforte, and the results were marked. Not only was the tone considerably increased, but its quality materially improved. With tho thin ner and shorter strings this was so noticeable that it is surprising the idea should not have suggested itself to others. Fifteen-carat wire drawn down at least six holes alter softening answers best. I have also suggested the use of gold for tho vibrating tongue of the harmonium, concertina and other instruments of the kind. Some time a?j I asked an amateur zithern player to try the effects of gold wire upon his instrument and he has since assured me the increase in tone is so re markable that he has substituted it for the steel springs with complete success. I think the idea one that merits further inquiry. The expense (if advantages are to be gained) should not deter those most interested in t'ie matter. The har monium tongues are made so thin that little extra outlay would be required, and with small loss, seeing that the oid gold can be remelted. Let any one take a disk of steel the size and thickness of a sovereign, throw it upon a wooden table so as to make it ring, then take a sovereign and beat it in the same way The first will have a dull sound, as if the metal were cracked, and the second a bright metallic bell-ring. A still bet ter test is to throw a piece of steel band on tho floor, listen to the vibrations, then do the same with a strip of gold of the same size and density. Gold has been used for the stringsof the virginal, with what effect I cannot say ; every thing depends on the gold being alloyed and hardened by drawing down to the desired condition, in which it will stand nearly the same as steel. A Murderer's Suspense. Twenty-nine years ago Edward J. Ford, colored, stood in the shadow of the gallows, tindfor twenty-seven years was confined in prison under sentence of death. He lived in Kingseesing, near Philadelphia, and was a ditcher. One day while working in a ditch he slew a fellow-workman in revenge for some real or fancied rong. Tho circum stances of the killing pointed to a deliberate murder, and the jury who heard the evidence rendered a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. The sentence of death was passed upon flim, and be lay in jail awaiting his death warrant. This, however, never came. Governor William F. Johnson, whose term bud nearly expired, neglected to sign the document, and bis bucccs or, Governor Pollock, refused to accept the legacy, and thus it went through the terms of Governors Packer, Curtin, Geary and Hartranft- Neither would sign the death warrant. The prisoner languished in Moyamensing until he became a physical wreck and the" efforts were made to have him releasee At last the man was released, and in the beginning of December, 1877, breathed the free air again. But his liberty was of little use to him, for broken down in health and without friends, there was nothing left to him but the almshouse, and on December 13 he was admitted to that institution. Ford sometimes wonders in his mind and talks inco herently. He is partly paralyzed, and will in all probability end his davs in the almshouse, although he talks of going out when he gets better , Lacrosse. In St. Nicholas we find an article de scribing lacrosse, the Indian pastime which has become the national game of Canada and which is every year be coming more popular. The magaBln ist says : Iacrosse is played on a level, grassy field, liko a baseball ground. The things used in the came are a rub ber ball, about eight inches in circum ference, four light poles or flag-staffs, each about six feet long, and a bat or " crosse " for each player. The field for a boys' frame should be about one hundred and thirty yards long, and about forty yards wide. The four poles are in pairs, and should have flags at the top in colors; say, two in blue, and two in white. The two poles of a pair are set up in the ground about six feet apart, the white Bags at one end of the held and the blue at the other, the two " colors " beinar about one hundred and twenty yards apart. These form the foals, and the players should wear some ind of cap or uniform in the same colors as the goals, say, half the players in white caps or shirts, and half in blue. The poles and flags can be made at home, the bats cost about one dollar each, and any good rubber sponge ball may be used. The game is led by two captains selected from all the boys, and. to de cide disputes, there may be also two umpires. Each captain, beginning with the eldest, takes turns in selecting his team from all the boys, each choosing twelve, making twenty-3ix in the game. The two cajtains do not play, and have no bats; their duty is to start the game, to look after their sides, to watch the ball, and tell their own players what to do. Theumpi.es merely look on from thb edge of the field, one near ea ;h goal. The senior captain places his men in this order: first one in front of the op posite goal, second one a short distance in advance of him, a third still further in advance, and a fourth at the center of the field. At the home goal he also places one man. a few yards in advance of the flags. The remaining players are placed at the sides of the third and fourth boys. Then the other captain does the same thing, and the fvjld is filled by the twenty-four players in pairs, except two on each side. Thus, the two sides are distributed over the entire field. The rules of the game say there must be no kicking nor pulling to get at the ball, nor must it be once touched by the hands. All the work is done with the bat. The game is to start tho bail irom the center, and to throw it between the blue uags. Each, side tries its best to defend its own color, and to get the ball into the enemy's goal. A player may pick the ball up on his crosse. or catcii it on the fly, or the rebound, and he may, if he can, run witu it on tue crosse and throw it into the goal. Discovery of Silk and Satin. The discovery of silk is attributed to one of the wives of the emperor of (Jhma, lloang-ti, who reigned about two thousand years before the Christian era; and since that time aspecia1. spot has always been allotted in the gardens ot the Ulnnege royal palace to the culti vation of the mulberry tree called in Chinese the "golden tree" and to the keeping or silk worms. The first silk dress in history was made, not for a sovereign nor lor a preity woman, but for the monster in human shape, Heliogabalus. Persian monks, who came to Con stantinople revealed to the Emperor Justinian the secret of the production of silk, and give him some silk worms. From Greece the art passed into Italy at the end of tue thirteenth century W hen the popes left Rome to settle at Avin- ton, France, they introduced into that country the secret whih had been kept by the Italians; and Louis XI. ettab- Inhed at Tours a manufactory ot silk fabrics. Francis I. founded the Lyons silk works, which, to this day. have kept the first rank. Henry II , of ranee, wore the but pair of silk lioso ever made, at the wfddme of his sister. The word "satin" wh'ch in the origi nal was appl ed to all silk siufls in een eral, has, since the last century, been used to designate only tissues which prevent a lustered surface. The diseov- ery of this particular brilliant stuff was accidental. Outavio Mai, a silk weaver, finding business very dull, and not knowing what to invent to give a new impulse to tho trade, was one day pac ing to and fro before his loom. Every time he passed the machine, with no dctinite object in view, he pulled little threads from the warp and put them to his mouth, winch soon alter he spat out. Liter on, he found tho little ball of silk on the floor of his workshop, and was attracted by the brilliant arpearance of the threads, lie repeated the expert ment and by using certain niucila?in ous preparations succeeded in giving new luster to ms tissues. Hnman Hair. A ladv in the city near which 1 res'.de has a lock of hair which is said to have belonged to the unfortunate Mario Antoinette. 1 his Drench Queen's head ot hair was a rich and dark auburn in the morning, and gray by night. One hardly wonders that the sufferings nn i terror of that dark day turned the poor queen's hair. There are other cases on record in whicii hair has graven in a singlo day or night. The color of hair depends on a tiuid at the lower end of the thread; it this be destroyed, tho hair, which is a hollow tube, receives of course, no coloring-matter. There is one case on record in which a man's hair changed three times. Oae lady is still living, who, at the ago of seventy, has a suit of hair without a gray strand in it. A srentleman. a?ed 114. had the color of his hair naturally re - stored a short time before his death Another, at his 110th year, had a full suit oi hair return to ms head. An other, named Nazrelio. of Vienna, in 1774, had a full suit of hair and a com plete second set ot mtural teeth. Workers in cobalt-mines have blue, and workers in copper-mines, green, hair. In some countries, parents paint the children's hair vermilion. A binos have hair nearly white rnd almost like threads of spun glass. u olden Vayi. " liall Columbia." Joseph Hopkinson wrote "Hail Columbia" in 1798. At that time the war between England and France was raging, and it was believed that the United States would have to take up arms. Congress was in session at I'hua delphia. The people were divided. some favored an alliance with France and some with England. One Saturday afternoon a young Philadelphia actor came to liopkinson and said that he was to have a benetit on the followini Monday night, but that no boxes hai been taken, and he feared that he would lose instead of sain bv the benefit. Thn actor thought that he could fill the house U he could get a patriotic song to the tune ol the " President's March." He asked Hopkinson to write him one. liopkinson promised to try, and the result was " Hail Columbia." The song was ready on the benetit night, and soon gamed immense popularity. There is too much morality which re sembles that of the man who said with ureal pride that ha didn't like to be called a thief, and then added that the whisky of his friend and his own whisky were in the same bottle, but that his own was at the bottom, and that he was compelled .to drink off the top in pruer to get at it. Fascination. In 1859 ftwentv-nni? vears aero) I fol lowed in tue rocks of Avon, close paths park of Fontainebloau, the lalryoythe of Dcnecourt. when the approach of a storm induced me to leave the blue arrows, indicating the right path, for a suori cut. i soon lost my way, Bnd foundrfnyself in a maze of brambles and rocks, when I was startled by seeing on my left hand, at a distance of about ten yards, a snake, who:e body, liited up irom the ground at a height of about a yard, was swinging to and fro. I re mained motionless, hesitating whether to advance or retreat, but soon per ceived that the snake did not mind me, but kept on maintaining its swinging motion, and some plaintive shrieks at tracted my attention to a greenfinch perched on a branch of a young p ne overhanging the snake, with his feathers ruflled, following by a nod of uis ueaa on each side oi tun Drancu tue motions of the snake. He tottered. spread his wings, alighted on a lower branch, and so on, until the last branch was reached. I then flung my stick at the snake, but the point of a rouk broke it nnd the snake disaoneared with the rapidity ot an arrow. On approaching the spot, a ii auuue oi vipers, wuicii i um wiiu the greatest precaution, knowing by ob servation that death may be the result of a bite of a viper, I saw the greenfinch on the ground agitated by convulsive and spasmodic motion, opening and shutting his eyes. 1 put him in my bosom to try the effect of heat, and has tened to reach the park of Fontaine bleau. The iittle claws of the bird opening and bhutting, perhaps as ancff.'Ctot heat, made me think that he might perhaps oe able to stand on my linger, and lie did clutch it, and held on with spas modic squtezes. In the park 1 sot some water, and madehim drinkit. In short, he revived, and finally flow off in the lime-trees of the park. Now, while fol lowing the motions of the snake and bird, l experienced a singular sensation. i ten giddy; a squeezing like an iron hoop pressed in my temples, and the ground seemed to me to be heavingupand down. In fact, the sensation was quite analogous to that experienced on a beginning ot sea sickness. From these facts, would it not seem probable that fascination is nothing more nor less than aa extreme fatigue of the optic nerve, prod uced by a rapid gyratory motion ot a shining orj ect, and resulting in a nervous attack and a coma? Curiosity rivets at first the attention of the bird, unconscious of any danger, and when giddiness warns him ot his peril it is too late. The snake is as well aware of this as the lophius piscastorius is of the effect of his mem brane. In this system the fact of the bird coming down from a higher to a lower branch would be explained by the supposition that, giddiness over taking him, he opened instinctively his wings and clung to the next support that he found, the motion having par tially removed the giddiness so as to enable him to hold last. Observe that nothing hindered the bird Irom flying away, and that the snake, being at most five feet long, could never have reached even the lowest branch. BeriJes he could have no nest to protect, tor in tho rocks of Avon there is no water save rain-water in the hollows of the rocks, and this is not potable on ac count of microscopio leeches which peop;e it, the instinct of birds teaching them to avoid it. Nature. Xuts. All nuts have to guard against squir rels and birds, and therefore tliti? peculiarities are exactly opposite to those of succulent fruits. Instead of attracting attention by being brightly colored, they are invariably green like the leaves while they rema n on the tree; and brown or dusky when they fall upon the ground beneath. Instead ot being inclosed in sweet coat.s, tiiey nre provided with bitter, acrid, or stingina husks; and instead of being soft iaiex ture, they are sui rounded by hard !.ells, like the cocoanut or have a perfectly solid kernel, liko the vegetable ivory. The origin of nuts is thus exactly the re verse side of tho origin of fruits. Cer tain seeds, richly stored with oils and starches for aiding the growtli of the young plant, are exposed to the attacks of squirrels, monkeys, parrots and other arboreal animals. The greater part ol them are eaten nnd completely destroyed by these their enemies, nnd so never hand down their peculiarities to any descendants. But nil fruits vary a little in sweetness and bitterness, pulpy and stringy tendencies. Thus a few umong them happen to bo protected from de struction by their originully accident I possession of a bitter husk, a hard shell, or a few awkward spines nnl bristles. These the monkeys and squir rels reject; and they alone survive as the parents of future generations. A Dog Digging into His Master's tiruve. Thomas and Frank Bienville were killed in a railroad accident near A'o berly, Mo. Before their death the broth ers owned a large Newfoundland dog to which they were grentl.' attached. After the holies of the dead men had been buried the dog gave evidence of the pro oundest grief by whining and howling in the most distressing maimer The occasional absenco of the dog from ths house where he had been left, and the evidence of digging left on his tet-t by clay adhering to ttum, caused some remark in the family, and it was con cluded that it would be well to watch the dog. Accordingly, ns tho tiog started off to exhume tiie dead, he was followed to the graveyard. When the dog reached the cemetery he howled in the most distressing manner, and began to scratch into the double grave con taining tho dead bodies. He had reached the coffin, but had done no vio lence to it. The Number or Plants. In the Bible about 100 plants are nl luded to; Hipnocbates mentioned 333; Theopbrastus 500 and Pliuy 8(10. From this time there was little addition until the Renaissance. In the beginning of the fifteenth century Gesner could only enumerate 800, but at its close Hauhin described 6.000. Tournefort in 1694 recognized 10,156 species; but Linnaeus, in the next century working more cautiously, defined only 7,294 In the beginning of this century, in 18i5, Per soon described 25 000 specif s, compris ing, however, numerous minute fungi. In 1819 De Candolle estimated the known species at 30,000. Loudon in 1839 gave 31,731 species; in 1845 Pro fessor Lindley gave 80 387, but in 1853 these had increased to 92 020. At present the known species are estimated at 25,000. La Fayette Journal. Snch Reports Do One's Heart Good. M TronV Wilkn.
