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.

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.

Potatoes less than an average-sized
hen's egg are classed as small. 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.-

Baked Potatoes. Raw potatoes
pared and sliced very thin, put into a
pudding dish and covered with milk,
sprinkled with pepper and salt and a
tablespoonful of flour previously mixed
with a little milk, baked until nicely
browned, from thirty to fifty minutes.
Those fond of onions can add a few
slices.
Angel Cake. Beat the whites of
eleven eggs stiff, then add one and a
half cupfuls powderedsugar, and one
teaspoonful vanilla. Sift four times one
cupful flour, and one teaspoonful
cream-tartar sifted four times; add the
flour and cream-tartar, and beat lightly
but thoroughly. Bake in an earthen
dish with stem in tho center forty
minutes.
Brazilian Tea Visit. 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

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

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.

Our Possessions at Driftwood Point.
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.
