FACTS ASD COMMENTS. Useless as tho pistol is in most every recpect, it occasionally vindicates its rig tit to existence in a verv satisfactory and righteous fashion, fetich was the fart it played at a toll-gate house near ndianapoiis, a day or two since, when a bnrglar, arousing the gatekeeper, an old lady, made her hand over her money 88 and then asked for the revolver she usually kept under her pillow. While he continued swearing at her and abusing her she went and got it and " presented" it to him, aiming it in the direction of his voice. The bullet entered his Bkull just behind the ear, inflicting a wound from which he dropped insensible and died. The Persian shuii is mentioned as having exhibited himself lately in the attidude of a mighty hunter. While pursuing tigers in a royal forest he fired at but only wounded one of the beasts, which immediately sprang upon him. Abandoning his title the hhah drew his great double-edged hunting knife and presented it at the breast of the de scending tiger. The weapon was so well directed that the animal impaled himself upon it, but the impetus of his charge was so groat that both shah and tiger rolled on the ground. The at tendants rushed up breathless with fear, thinking that it was all over with their master; but the shah immediately got up without showing; any signs cf injury or foar, and finished off his ad versary. Statistics lately laid before the con gress of brewers at Versailles show that there are in Europe about 40,000 breweries, producing nearly 2,250,000 gallons of malt liquor. Great Britain produces nearly a third; then comes Prussia, Bavaria aud Austria. Bavatia consumes 54 gallons per head; Belginm (whose beer is chiefly made at Louvain, where, too, is her chief university), 30; England, 29. Outside of Bavaria, where the very babies lap beer, the average consumption in Uermany is l'J gallons, In Scotland it is 9; Ireland, 8 1-2; France, 4, but steadily iucreahing. The past twenty-five years have seen also an extraordinary increase in the beer production of .Ireland ana Scotland. where formerly wine and spirits were almost exclusively drnuk. Poor's Manual gives some interesting railroad statistics. The mileage at the close of 1880, in this country, was !)i3, C71, a gain of 8.2 per cent, for the year; the gross earnings were 8015,401,931; net earnings, $255,193,420: each show ing an increase of 10 per cent, over the previous vear. The dividends amounted to 877,115,411, a gain of 25 per cent compared with 1879 while the in creased cost shows a gain of 5.4 per cent. over the year 1879. The growth of our railroad system during the past ten years has been very rapid. In 1870 there were 52,914 miles of railroad, and in lobu mere were ii-i.iiil. lue gross earnings in 1870 were, 89.30 per capita: in lssil sl2.2 per capita, showing that while the population has increased 23 per cent, in ten years the gross earnings on railroads liave in. creased in the same time 74 per cent, The freight churges on railroads have been reduced in that time from an average on the great leading lines of 1.G82 cents per ton per mile, to 0.919 cents per ton per mile, showing that in the ten ye u s tho earnings have increased 74 per cent, on a donvon.i rreignt cimrge of Nl per cent. A board of trade return just issued shows tliat the mortality in the British merchant service irom all causes was 4,100 last year, an increase over the year before of 408. This increase is known to be far in excess of that which might properly have been anticipated from tho improved condition of the carrying trade. Tho record appears still worse when the deaths through disease are eliminated. The statistics then show that 075 more sailors were " drowned bv wreck " in 1880 than in the previous year, the respective totals being 1,053 and 978. Of the 4,100 sail ors who lost their lives last year in the British mercantile marine, only seven teen are returned as having died througl. natural causes. It must be mentioned, however, that deaths through various specified diseases are excluded from tnis category. Of these, fevers were the most fatal, and next to that cause of marine mortality came lung complaints anu diseases ot tne heart. A Chinese funeral occurred in New York the other dav. With one exeep tion the attendants were all ft ale. The pall-bearers and mourners were clad in white. The bearers were followed by ti coach containing a basket of wax can dles and loss sticks for use at the burial Next came a band of musicians, who made all the noise they could with gongs, cymbals and horns. The master of ceremonies rode on the hearse and continually scattered to the winds small Dits ot rice paper. hen the grave was reached the musicians made day hideous while the coffin was lowered by the eight white-robed bearers. When the faith had been leveled a banner was planted at each end of the mound Then the basket was brought and the wax caudles were lighted at the foot of the mound. The joss-sticks were also lighted upon the grave, burning with a pleasant odor. At the same time little fire was kindled at the side and paper money was burned there. The remainder of the rice paper was pinned to the grave. Then the friends of tho dead man passed in turn around the grave and made a low bow to it with clasped hands uplifted. The Carson (Nev.) Appeal tells how Doo. Benton and Hank Monk brought a ten-pound trout, down from the lake and vowed that the President should be the only man in America to get a knife into it. They .accordingly laid it out on the ice and then went into the house to indite a letter to accompany it, Benton's idea was to send the trout as the gift of the Carson and Glenbrook mage company, having, no doubt, dim idea that the line might some time need an appropriation from Congress of a few hundred square mile s ol the p lio domain. Monk thought if his name was written on a card and tied to the head of the trout and Doc. Ben ton's at the tail it would be just the thing. It was finally agreed to send it as the gift of the peo pie of Nevada. They then built an ice chest in which to preserve the fish while it was transported. Next they went out to the cake of ice where the fish had been left and reached it just in time to see a cat in the act of lngging the fish through a hole which led under the stable. The alarm was raised and in few minutes the whole force of stable men were laying siege to the cat, poking poles and sticks under the floor and yelling vociferously. Up till 9 o'clock at night they were unable to dislodge th.. cat, and several other cats had slipped in and were sharing the fish with tho original thier. Kenton is as mad as a wet hen, but Monk says that probably trout are not good lor conva- escing Presidents, and it was providen tial that the cat bagged the game. The Surrender of Yorkfown, At noon of the 19th (October) we have the first act of surrender. York town changed hands. Two redoubts on the left of the enemy s works were at that hour taken possession of by de tachments from tho allied army. Colo nel Itichard Butler commanded the American and the Maiqnis Laval the French parly, each of one hundred men. At 2 o'clock we reach the closing scene. The army of Cornwallis marched out as prisoners of war, grounded their arms, and then marched back. Accounts agrf e in describing the display and cere monv on the occasion as quito'imposing. rhe JJritisii appeared in new uniforms. distributed among them a few days be fore, and it only required the flying of their standards to give their march the effect of a holiday parade. ' But their colors were cased, and they were pro hibited from playing either a French or American tune. This was the return ol a compliment, a piece of justifiable as well as poetic retaliation on the part of the Americans for what the enemy were pleased to command when General Lin coln was compelled to surrender at Uharleston the year before. The matter came up at the meeting of the comis- sioners. " lhis is a harsh article, said Ross to Laurens. "Which article?'' answered the lat ter. The troops shall march out, with colors cased, and drums beating a Brit ish or a German march " Yes, sir," returned Laurens, with a touch of sang froid, " it is a harsh ar ticle." "Then," said Boss, if that is your opinion, why is it here?" V hereupon .Laurens, who had been made prisoner at Charleston with Lin coln's army, proceeded to remind Boss that the Americaus on that occasion had made a brave defense, but were nugal- inntlv refused any honors of surrender. other than to march with colors cased and drums not beating a British or a German march. But," rejoined Boss, "my Lord Cornwallis did not command at Chnrles ton." " There, sir," said Laurens, " you ex tort another observation, it is not the individual that, is here considered ; it is the uation. This remains an article or I cease to be a commissioner." Nothing more was to be said ; the ar ticle stood, and the enemy marched out with colors cased, while tho tune they chose to follow was an old British march with the quite appropriate title of "Tho World Turned Upside Down." As tho prisoners moved out of their works along the Hampton road thev found the French and American armies drawn up on either side of the way, the Americans on their right, and extending for more than a mile toward the field of surrender. The French troops pre sented a brilliant spectacle in their white uniforms, with plumed and dec orated officers at their head, and gor geous standards of white silk, embroid ered with golden tlurs-ile-li, floating along the line. The Americans were less of an attraction m outward appear ance, but not the less eager y eyed by heir lnte fintnonm'et A mr "a worn Continentals there was variety of dress, poor at the best, distinguishing the men of the different lines; but to compensate for lack of show, there was a soldierly bearing about them which commanded attention. The militia formed in their rear presented a less martial sight so far as clothing and or der were concerned. But all these men were conquerors, and their very appear ance bespoke the hardships and priva tion they and their States had under gone to win in the struggle. At the bead of the respective lines were the commanding generals, nobly mounted Washington, Bochambeau, Lafay ette, Lincoln, Steuben, Knox and the rest. Leading tho British came Gen eral O'llara instead of Cornwallis. The latter pleaded illness, but he sent his sword by O'Hara to bo given up to Washington. As O'Hara advanced to the chief, he was referred to Lincoln, who, upon receiving the sword as a token of the enemy's submission, imme diately returned it to the British gen eral, whose troops then marched be tween tho two lines to a field on the right, where they grounded their arms. Harper's Marmine. Skid's Kicking Machine. The facts were these: Mr. Skid's neighbor kept a goat, and that goat had often got at Mr. Skid and butted him two rods, end over end, aud ho hated the goat profusely. But the neighbor wouldn't keep the goat shut up, and so Skid invented a machine to slay the goat. It was in the form of a man bending down to pick up a hat, but in the body was a spring of tremendous power. From the hip pocket of the figure waved a red handkerchief that was targeted to draw the goat. When he butted it the spring would fly and throw the goat a big distance. The machine was gotten up in very elabo rate style and looked just like a mau. It was perfect enough to deceive any goat, audit cost Mr. Skid seventy-five dollars. But he didn't begrudgo the money so long as it fetched the goat. And he took the machine and put it out in his front yard where the goat would see it, and then retired to his house and waited to see the fun. lie waited about two hours, and then his on came in and told him the goat had swallowed an old hoopskirt the night before and it had got tangled in his bowels and slain him. And, of course, Skid was terribly mad. But the ma chine was not wholly wasted, for the boy took it and put it outside of a circus tent so it looked like a man just start ing to crawl under, and a stalwart circus man ran up and kicked the thing and was picked up twenty feet away, and when he got over his surprise he said he'd give the man a season ticket if he'd tell how he did it, as he'd like to work the same racket on the old man of the girl he was courting. But the machine couldn't be found, the boy having, in the excitement, taken it home. Those grave-yard torpedoes which were invented to blow ghouls in the di rection of kingdom come have as yet failed to return a report. A bear-trap might be more successful. There are sixty silk factoiies in and around Philadelphia, incuding nine spinning mills. The product for the year ending with June last is est i ma tod at 87,250,000.

Many go ont early in the morning and give their fowls a hearty meal of corn or other grain, leaving them as stupid all the fora part of the day as a stuffed anaconda. Not so. Allow them to shirk for themselves in the fore part of the day, especially in tho warm summer morn ings, when numerous insects and worms are out. Make them industrious get their own living when possible, and give them their food after they have done their own level best to get a liv ing. It is tho active and not the stupid hen that lays the most rggs. Farmer Graham says ho has never had ftjy difficulty with gapes in his chick ens. His plan U to keep everything perfectly clean about tho hennery. His hens roost in one apartment; have their nests and sit in another. When any hen has hatched her chickens, he immedi ately cleans out the nest, whitewashes the place, making everything clean, then putting in fresh straw or hay. He cleans the roosting -place every two weeks, whitewashing and sprinkling on a little lime. Cultivate During n Drought. Cultivating the soil in a dry season helps to retain the moisture. This will not appear strange if we recollect that water is conveyed through the soil in capillary tubes; these being broken by cultivation, the water cannot pas through them readily. The following experiments in regard to tho retention of water in the soil during dry times were made at the Massachusetts Agricul tural college. They were made by taking three different kinds of soil clay, loam and light sandy loam filling two boxes with each and sinking them into the ground until level with the sur face, previously weighing them. One box of each kind of soil was hoed every morning and the other boxes left uncul tivated. This practice was kept up until it rained, which in this instance was seven days. The boxes were then taken up and weighed to ascertain the amount of moisture lost, with the following' re sult: The clay soil, tilled, lost at the rate of 904 barrels per acre: the tin tilled, 1,170 barrels per acre, or 200 barrels more than the cultivated area. The tilled, sandy loam lost at the rate of 542 barrels per acre, and the untitled- 1,20 barrels, or 734 barrels the most. The heavy loam tilled lost at the rate of 1,100 barrels per acre, the tin tilled 1,329 barrels, or 223 barrels more than the tilled. The average loss per day of the tilled loam was at the rate of 158 barrels per acre and of the unfilled 159 barrels; of the tilled clav 129 bar rels and of the untitled 107 barrels; from the tilled sand seventy-seven bar rels, from the unfilled 107 barrels. In other words a farmer cultivating an aero of land under like circumstances, would save 250, 734 or 223 barrels of water in the same time, according as his land is clay, sand or loam, which would have been lost by evaporation had not the land been tilled. A Itnt-l'i-ouf t'oi-n Crib. A correspondent of the Practical Fanner gives the following directions for making that most necessary of farm buildings, a rat-proof corn crib: Build a good substantial house, twelve feet wide, eight feet high and as long as you want it. This will give you two cribs, one on either side. Put your buildings On Stonn pillora. one font nlinvp errnliml Side up with lath two and a quarter inches by one inch of hard wood (I used oak), putting them on up and down, being careful to have them half an inch apart. The gables and any part of the building that does not come in contact with the corn can be sided up with common pine boards; for bot toms of cribs, lathes lengthwise, one half inch apart; balanco of flo r between cribs lay tight of pine board. My building has a string of ties between the sill and plate to nail to and cross ties to hold the building together. Every eight feet on these ties spike a good strong studding or narrow plank across them lengthwise of the building as far from plate as you want the width of top of crib, then set up studding from floor, as many as will tbe sufficiently strong for crib; mortice the end in floor, gain the top into the horizontal stud ding about three-quarters of an inch then lathe the lutide of the crib with any kind of lathe, just close pnongh to keep in the corn, commencing ten inches from the floor to leavo room tr.r the corn to come down into the trough, putting these lath on lengthwise. Then put a common-sized door in the end, between the cribs. You can put a lock on the door, and all is secure. (I did no1 lock mine, and gained something by it, as I found a stray mitten in the crib on a cold morning.) To get the corn i: the crib make doors above the plate the size you want them, tho same as dormer windows, and hang the doors on, and it will be completed. If any ono wishes to have a granary they cau use one side of the building for that purpose and the other for crib. Tho size of my cribs is three feet in the clear at bottom and live at top, but 1 am well satisfied they might be much wider and still the corn woald euro well. Any one wanting wider cribs can build the house wide enough to suit. I have used this crib for about ten years aiii can recommend it as on entire success. The secret of this crib is putting the lathe on up and down. This gives no place for the rats to stand on to cut holes, and the building being one foot above ground they cannot reach the bottom. We are infested with swarms of gray rats, and there is not a buiHinc on the farm from which we can keep them out except the corn crib. e keen corn over a year until the new crop is gathered in perfect safety. I'hi iii anil iinrilrn N'oIch Kerosene oil poured on the nests of caterpillars until thoroughly saturated will destroy them. Do not allow the soil about young fruit trees to become hard and crusted but keep it clean and constantly mellow, It is advantageous to turn sheep into orchards in summer and allow them to stay there until the apples begin to ripen. A mixture of lime and phosphates sprinkled over the cut potatoes a day or two before planting will increase the fertility wonderfully. It is said that new ground soil mixed with the manure for the melon patch will prevent rust and brown patches on the melons and keep the vines green longer than usual. Experienced grow- era have discovered that melons and vines do not rust on new land as they do on old even in seasons of extreme wet. We frequently see the use of char coal for fowls advocated. If pulver- ized finely and mixed with soft food will be eaten and is beneficial. Corn os the cob placed ia the lire or ia an oven until it is charred, and then shelled, is eagerly eaten and is a de cided improvement on any other form of charcoal. Never keep an old hen. After tho second year hens, as a rule, diminish in laying power. Of course the quantity of eggsj a fowl will lay s well as 'ihe season for laying can le regulated to a certain extent by care and feeding, but unless a hen is of a very valuable bread or especially useful as a setter or mother, it does not pay to keep her after she is threo years old. It is claimed by some feeders that 100 pounds of cornmeal and 400 pounds of bran mixed will give a greater gain in flesh than 200 pounds of inf-al fed alone. Meal and bran mixed is more perfect feed than meal alone. Bran contains a larger percentage of phos phoric acid, potash and nitrogen than Indian meal, while tho latter contains move oil, sugar and Btarch than tho for mer. The one-year-old grapevines set this spring should be allowed to grow but one shoot. If older vines were set they should not be allowed to bear, but de vote all their energies in getting estab lished. All growing shoots should bo kept secured to stakes or trelliscB. The fruit canes of the blackberries and raspbenies should be tied up to stakes or trellises. The young growing canes form the fruiting ones for next year; cut away all except three to five to each stool, and when large enough tie them up: thev should be pinched off at four feet for raspberries and six feet lor blackberries. A correspondent of the New York 11 orld savs he has found stable manure, ground bone, ashes and guano all very good fertilizers for onions. The best plan is to plow the stable manure in Tho ground should be plowed deep either in the fall or early spring; fall plowing is generally preferred. Bono or ashes cau be harrowed in after the ground is plowed. Ho always takes gnano in alter tho harrowing is done Guano does first-rate with other ma nures. It gives the young plants an early start. HccIdos. Corn Cakes fou Two. Sift a cupful of cornmeal into a bowl or tray, make a hole in it, put in Ealt, soda and short ening, as for biscuit, break in two eggs, stir with a strong spoon until the eggs are well broken and mixed, then with now buttermilk or sour milk make into a batter. Bake in a brisk oven; have the cake three-fourths of an inch thick when it goes into the oven. Quince Marmalade. Bub the fruit well with a rough cloth, cut out the stems and flower end, and quarter the iruit without removing the core or skin; stew it on the lire with a very little water till soft enough to run through sieve. Strain the pulp and add a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit; set the mixture on the fire and cook it slowly till done, which should be fif teen or twenty minutes longer. A Welsh Cake. Half pound of but ter, without salt, beaten to a cream; half pound of flour, well dried, but not added till cold; half pound of silted su?:ar, each put in separately and by degrees, four eggs, the yokes and whites beaten separately to a perfect frot hand odded by degrees the last thing. The whole ingredients must be beaten together for one hour, and the yolks added slter that. Butter your mold well and butter the paper you line your mold with very well, and allow the paper to be much higher than your mold, as it will rise high. Tomato Catsit. Boil one-half bushel of tomatoes threo hours; strain out the skins and seeds; to the re mainder add three pints of vinegar, one half pound of salt, one-fourth pound of black pepper, one ounce of cayenne pepper, one-fourth pound of allspice, one ounce of ground cloves, two pounds of brown sugar. Boil one hour. I have never seen any catsup to equal this, and have kept the above secret for thirty- hve vears till now. lluef Cvok. ODIMTIKS.

The objection to horses with white feet, though mostly considered a mere caprice, is reasonable enough, for white hoots are more brittle than black ones, and are much more liable to break and contract than those of a dark color. In some countries, especially in the East, obesity is considered a beauty, and Tunisian young ladies are fattened before marriage.
