A C ity in the Air. In tho lower part of the metropolis, says a New York paper, there is steadily going on a process of reconstruction which, with no great stretch of the im agination, may be called building a city in the air upon the old one. The build ings so far overtop the old that, viewed from the general level of the roofs, they rise aloft like tha scattered structures of a now town having for a foundation the summit of the old one. When the process of rebuilding has gone on for one or two decades more there will be in lower New York what will practically bo a new city superimposed upon the present city. Tho lofty buildings which now tower far abovo the old average roof level will no longer be isolated ob jects, but will only be parts of continu ous blocks of solid new structures, ten or twelve stories Irish. Bv the aid of the steam elevator the building space of the city is doubled. Iloonis on the tenth floor are rented for better prices than could formerly be had for similar rooms on the fourth. We need no longer ask how the great city is to find space for its growth. It has bolved the problem for itself by converting it3 roof into building lots, and doubling or trebling its area of floor space. But now comes another question. When the population and business of a Riven area are thus doubled or trebled how is its traffic to be carried on in streets that can hardly now accommo date the processions of carts and wag ons that press through them from morn ing to night? All tho principal business streets are already overcrowded. Block ades are of daily occurrence. Xo one who takes a street-car on any of the lines west of Broadway in the busy hours of the day can tell at what time he will reaeh his destination. Below Canal street there are delays at almost every block from the crowd of vehicles. How can the capacity of these streets be enlarged to meet any increased demand upon them? This problem, too, will no doubt be solved. We must open new avenues below the surface for the transportation of heavy freight. We believe the time will como when every important thoroughfare will be tun neled. Railroads for freight traffc will run through these tunnels to the depots and wharves, and goods will be shipped upon cars from the cellars of the stores and warehouses, instead of being loaded upon trucks at the street doors. The streets will then be free for the lighter traffic and the sidewalks unincumbered by crates, boxes and bales. The New York of the future will hold its head high in the air and plant its feet deep in the ground. The city of the present day is in a transition state. Who can prophecy of its greatness and beauty a century to come ? An Oil Flood iu Wyoming. A veritable oil flood occurred not long ago in Sweetwater county, Wyoming Territory. An oil company, known as the Rocky Mountain Oil company, has for some time been collecting into reser voirs oil from the wells and springs on the land they have bought or leased. In these reservoirs, of which they had six or seven, were stored about three thou sand barrels. But last spring, says the Omaha Herald, an ice gorge formed in the Popajie creek, above the reservoirs. The water poured over and into the reservoirs, and being heavier than the oil, displaced it wholly. The sea of oil ran over the meadows for several miles, blackening them as if a prairie fire had swept over them. The farmers were of course incensed; but it was such an accident as the insurance companies would have classed under the heading "Aots of God," and who could be blamed? The ice gorge was broken, and the water pumped out; and the reservoirs in a short time were filled to the brim. The company believe that their oil interest is larger than that of the whole State of Pennsylvania, and far easier developed. The t resident of the company guarantees that they can produce fifty thousand barrels per day when they require it. The oil, it is stated, is very superior in quality. The Union Pacific railroad is using it in its crude state for lubricating its engines. The company expects not long hence to furnish oil for all the country west of the Missouri. He that does good for good's sake seeks neither praise nor reward, though sure of both'at last. THE FARM AXD HOUSEHOLD. Plow F.nrlr. Where other work will permit it is best to plow the land for fall sowing soon after the haying and harvesting is over. This avoids the drought-dried soil that is frequently found later in the season, besides turning Tinder the weeds before they have time to ripen thoir seeds. Thorough use of the cultivator will prepare the early -plowed land when sowing time comes. American Agricul turist, Shorlin Moroni. One of the most proliflo causes of contracted heels in horses is allowing their shoes to remain on too long. It is seldom we hear of horses having con tracted heels when worked regularly every day. Few persons are aware of the importance of removing a horse's shoes, which should be done at least every month or six weeks. It is too often the custom to allow the shoes, after having once been placed, to remain till worn out before removing them. Fifty years ago, when horse's shoes lasted much longer than they do now, it was a common practice to remove them once before they were worn out. When removed the horses' feet were pared down tho same as when newly shod. If this was the practice now we should have less interfering and fewer lame horses. Thinning Fnilt. Whenever we tell a friend he should thin his fruit he talks about the curcu lio, the coddling moth, the birds and the boys, and " guesses there will be thinning enough before the season gets through." This is true enough in its way. Wherever these troubles exist to any extent it is not much use to grow fruit at all. But there are some who do not leave all their gardening to' insects and vermin; some who dispute the right of these pests to interfere at all, and wage war, successful war against them; but even these do not appreciate the value of thinning their fruit. Tho evil of overbearing is particularly apparent in dwarf pears and grapes. As a gen eral thing there is raiely a grape vine but would bo benefited by having its bunches cut away and some of the free bearing dwarf pears might have from one -third to one-half. The grapes may be cut away as soon as they can be seen, but the pear should be left until some what grown, as they often fall after they are pretty well advanced. It not only helps the size of the fruit, but is a gain to the future health of the tree. Oer mantoirn Telegraph. Chicken Cholera. The disease commonly chicken cholera is one of a known as contagions character, although it will undoubtedly occur spontaneously in a single fowl cf a flock, and may spread no further if the sick fowl is removed at once to a safe distance. The disease is intestinal fever, with inflammation of the liver. It may be caused by unwholesome sur roundings and by continued indiges tion and malnutrition, by which the blood is brought into the precise con dition in which it furnishes an accept able support to the germs of the dis ease which are floating in the air at certain seasons and under certain cir cumstances. These, however, are so varied that we may expect them to be present at all times, even in the coldes weather, for even then fowls are at tacked with this disease. The conspic uous indications of this disease are a yellowness of the wattles and cheeks and green and yellow dung or a black liquid discharge. When a fowl is thus attacked it should be separated from the rest; twenty drops of carbolic acid should be put into a pint of water for twelve fowls, and the sick fowl should have three drops of the acid given in a teaspoonful of water. No food should be given for some days and only the carbolated water. I'liiiit Medium-Sized 1'otiilocn The following figures show the result of experiments made in growing potatoes at the experimental farm of Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y.: The Early rvose variety was pinnteu may iv; me soil, a sand loam, unmanured and mod erately fertile. Each plot consists of a single row fifty feet in length.

It ap pears that medium-sized potatoes, cut to two eyes, and two pieces to the hill, give the best results; that deep planting and flat culture did the best. These experiments, if they do nothing more, point out to our readers the advantage of such trials, and we hope there will grow among farmers a disposition to make annually similar tests in the cul ture of any and every farm crop. Much can be gained in this way. Cheap Fertilizer!!. Nearly every farmer goes to the near est village to trade, visit a mechanic or obtain his letters and papers, at least once a week. He often takes a load to market, but he rarely brings one home. He can, with very little trouble, haul a load of material that may be obtained for nothing, and which will be of great benefit to his land. Most village peo ple make no use of the ashes produced in their stoves or of the bones taken from the meat they consume. Scarcely any brewer has any use for the hops 4 hut have been boiled in his vats, and the blacksmith hardly ever saves the clippings be takes from the feet of horses. All these materials make ex cellent manure. A barrel of shavings cut from the hoofs of horses contains more ammonia than is contained in a oad of stable manure. Applied to lland, without preparation, they might give no immediate results, but they would become decomposed in time and crops of all kinds would derive benefit from them. They may be so treated that they would produce immediate re sults, By covering them with fresh horse manure they will decompose very rapidly. They may also be leaohed in a barrel and the water that covered them drawn off and applied to plants. Water in which pieces of horns and hoofs have been soaked is an excellent manure for plants that require forcing. It stimulates the growth of tomatoes.rose bushes and house plants very rapidly and emits no offensive odors. Avast amount of fertilizing materials is wasted in towns that farmers could obtain the benefit of with very little trouble.- New York Herald. Rrcitiri. Baked Potatoes.

Take some slices of bread about half an inch thick, cut off all crust, steep the bread in a little milk; when soaked through cover each piece with beaten egg yolk and fry with butter a light brown; then arrange tho slices on a hot plate and lay on each piece a tolerably thick covering of pow dered sugar nnd cinnamon well min gled. Cake on Buns. One pound of flour, one ounce of butter, three-fourths pound of brown sugar, one pound cur rants, four ounces candied peel, three eggs well beaten, one-fourth ounce car bonate ot soda, one-half pint of milk, warmed. Rub the butter in the flour, then stir in the sugar, sprinkle the car bonate ot sugar over tlio mixture and immediately add the milk and eggs previously mixed together (the milk must have been warmed and the eggs well beaten), then add tho currants and candied lemon, cut thin. Beat all to gether with a strong spoon for ten min- utes. Have ready tins well buttered, half fill them and put them directly into a brisk oven. Asparagus Soup. Take half a hun dred of asparagus, boil it in a saucepan with three pints of stock free from fat. When done remove the asparagus, pound it in a mortar and pass it through a sieve. Melt about one and a half ounces of butter in a saucepan on the nre, and mix it with two tablespoonluls of flour, add a little sugar, pepper and salt, the asparagus pulp and all tho stock in wnicu the asparagus was boiled. Let the whole boil up, adding as much more stock as will make the soup of the right consistency. Then put in a little spinach greening, and lastly a small pat of fresh butter, or stir m liall a gill ol cream. Serve over small dice of bread fried in butter. Deaths by Lightning. Reports of death by lightning during the recent lieavy storms are rapidly coming in, and it will be interesting to our readers to know that after all there is not much in the old saying, when a man is very unlikely to have any par ticular thing happen to him, that his chances of meeting it are about as good as his chance of being struck by light ning. According to tho last published census of the United States (that of 1870), lightning alone disposed ot more of our fellow-citizens in that year than came to their death through yellow fever, gout, scurvy, hydrophobia of which there is now so much dread- chorea, cancer of the mouth, calculus Addison's disease, carbuncle, lead pois oning, or suicide by cutting tho throat or drowning ; nearly as many as were killed by explosions, and about one fourth as many as died of the so-called American disease, dyspepsia. The sta listics are as follows : Deaths by light ning, 202 ; by yellow fever, 177 ; by gout, 43 ; by scurvy, (19 ; by hydropho bia. ('3 ; by chorea, 76 ; by cancer of the mouth, 165 ; by calculus, 109 ; by Addison s disease, 12 ; by carbuncle, 1G8 ; by lead poisoning, 31 ; by dys pepsia, 841 ; by explosions, 290 ; by suicide by cutting the throat, 133, and bv snieide by drowning ll'J. .Large, however, as is the number of deaths by lightning-stroke in the aggregate, yet only ono person out of 240,722 comes to his death in this way. The "light ning-rod man," who does most of his business in rural sections, and who is tho standing butt of country journal may be a nuisance, yet he evidently is not without his reason of being when the number of lives and the amount of property destroyed every year by the "fluid" which by the way is not' fluid at all is taken into consideration yew York World. The Klind. According to tbe census returns ther is one blind person in every 1,900 of tbe population of tbe United States. This is a considerably lower ratio tban pre vails iu any otber country in tbe world, yet it leaves us witb over 25,000 of tbis unfortunate class. Germany has tbe next lowest ratio 1 in 1,000. in li.ng- land, Scotland and Wales it is nearly in 1,100 ; in Ireland, 1 in 830 ; in Aus tria, 1 in 1,000 ; in France, 1 in 950 ; in Spain, Portugal, Turkey in Europe and ureece, 1 in tiw) ; in itussia in Europe, 1 in 900, and in Norway, 1 in 600 tbe higbest ratio of any country called civil ized, so far as known. In Asia statis ticians compute tbe ratio to be about 1 in 600 and in Africa 1 in 300, owing to the more general prevalence of small pox, which even in England is estimated to be still the cause of fully one-fifth of all the cases of lost eyesight. Taking tbe entire globe, then, there is a blind population of close on 3,000.000, the vast majority of whom are of course doomed to an existence that has not one ray of redeeming joy. There are twenty-seven institutions for teaching the blind in the United States. In some few of these instruct tion to deaf mutes is also given, but the rule that the requirements of the blind and of those who are deaf are entirely different is almost universally accepted. Of these institutions, the oldest is the Perkins institute, Boston, which was opened in 1829 ; the New York institute for the blind in this city, dates from 1831, and the Pennsylvania institution in Philadelphia from 1833. These are the pioneer institutions in this country, and are still the most prosperous. Be sides the one in this city there is an other in New York State at Batavia which is under government control. yew York Graphic, Mr. Postell, of Georgia,' in forty years coneotea u,uuu specimens ol snells, ai. .i which ha has presented to the Young Chinese riratps. The towns contain a due amount of tame cheats, but the bold hectoring bignwayman, the truculent sea-robber, must be sought elsewhere. All along tne JJine and Yellow rivers are found retail buccaneers, who bawkat a trifling quarry and flatten on slender profits. nese poor roeues do not aspire to a ship of their own; they come paddling out of muddy creeks in the smallest of sampans, ill-armed, ill-clad, but plenti fully smeared with fish oil. If manfully confronted they fly; if grappled by the crews of the fourth-class junks, which they select as prizes, they slip like so many eels through the hands that grasp them, and their swimming makes amends for their lax courage. Seldom do any very sinister results fol low one of these attacks. If the fresh water pirates provo victorious they are mild conquerors, and only too eager to bo on shore again with their booty of rice and corn, stray garments, odd frag ments of chain, bits of copper and brass hastily ripped from the poop and cabins, and perhaps the glorious trophy of a few rattling strings of casn. Tne dol lars and silver bars are generally too well hidden to be detected by such hurried searchers; food rather than fortune is the object of rare cases of remarkable umptation, no life is attempted and no torture resorted to. With these am phibious pettv-larccnv rogues the mag istrates deal mildly, according to tne traditions of Chinese justice. Three hundred strokes of the bamboo may be endured by the human frame.

A few minor tortures need only to be added o tiiese two hrst-namcd inflictions, and the culprit is thoncrht to have been most tenderly dealt with. Pilferers in a fair or the streetB of a town are con sidered as still more venial offenders, A vigorous bastinado and a week of the pillory is the law's award in such trivial cases. Petty assaults are as leniently disposed of, but fire-raising is a sin of deeper dye; and the malicious piercing of a neighbor s dike, to let in a devas tating flood, is punished with extreme rigor. Ulurder and treasonable prac tices, wholesale piracy and armed brigandago all cry aloud for death. more or iess slow and painful, and par ricide evokes the sternest chastisement of the Chinese, as it onco did of the Roman law. All the Year Hound. Wilmington (Dul.) Daily Bepublican. Mrs. Adam Grubb, 231 Walnut street, has been a great sufferer for a number of years from extreme pain in the feet, something like rheumatism. She was also very niucli troubled with corns and bunions. It was with great difficulty that she could walk, and sometimes when she would visit her husband's shoe store or any of her children, she could not get home again without as sistance, and often when sho was walk ing along the streets she would be seized with such acute pain that she was compelled to stop in at the neigh bors on the way until she got better, Some two weeks ago she hoard of the wonderful cures St. Jacobs Oil was effecting, and sho at once commenced to use it and experienced great relief immediately. The pains nave leit ner feet and ankles and the inflammation has left the corns and bunions. She is now tripping up to her husband s shoe store and out to see her children without experiencing any pain.

There is a point in the geography of the United States that is not generally known, and that is Driftwood Point. Driftwood Foint is part of a little piece of land owned by these United States that lies peculiarly situated. This piece of land is the only portion of this country, except Alaska, that is north of the 49th parallel. It is impossible to reach it by land without going through British Territory. It is part of Pembina county, Minn., and it borders on the northwest shore of the Lake of the Woods. It whs especially retained by this country when we and Cousin Johnny had the settlement over our family quarrel, as a resting-place for the American eagle on her flight to the North role.
