Sewt. i6 Dangerous Door-Yards : Some one has said that neglect was the one great curse of our couutrj homes, and whu we contemplate the surround' ina of many farm houses, we cannot con tradict this statement. J ust look into neighbor "Bs backyard see the chunks and ois of wood which lio here and there, and the decaying chips afid sawdust, relics of the winter's wood pile for many a year, which hare entirely destroyed the grass, but the uply weeds, plantains, dock and -beggars' lice" thrust up their eoure leaves and burj seeds through all the rubbish. Then see the rusty old iron hoops and tin pans, pails and the like, which are scattered every where. Perhaps we find the ground soaked with the kitcheu slop which have been thrown out this many a day, and vegetable parings, ejrg -shells, etc , litter iug up the yard, where here and there are little spots where the water stands until it becomes horrid to the nostrils. When we mount the doorsteps, we find them half rotted away, jagged, and un safe for childrcd's feet. Then enter the house, and look at the woman's pale cheeks and black-lustre eyes, aud hear the cough, when she attempts to sup press, as she greets our entrance. Desease has entered before us perhaps death has also been there, and borne away the fair est of the flock the lamb of the greatest promise. The affliction is ascribed to a dispensation ol Providence" instead of a dispensation of ignorance ! Surely it is enough to give one dip theria ouly to look at such place, and they are also excellent nurseries for ty phoid fever, spotted fever, and that terri ble Asiatic plague, cholera. This last di sease is said to be marchinsr westward, siowiy ana surely, lioru in the rice J fields of Aia, it continues its deadly work j even throughout this continent, it was j looked for last season, and is feared for this. Therefore it behooves all of us to clean up over our premises more careful ly than ever to rake up the chips and awbast in our lack yards, and deposit the rubbish in the manure heaps, where it will be of some use, and repay us for oar labors. It stands us in hand tp gather up all the bits of old iron which are useful on the forge of the blacksmith, and to throw away, far out of sight, all the nattered, bruised aod useless old tin pails, pans and basins, and pick up the old boots aod shoes, and burr them un.der the grape vines or raspberry bushes. Make a bonfire of all the worthless bar rel hcops, staves and rubbish which have accumulated it the farther corner of the yard. Overhaul every part of the yard and barn, and dispose of everything which cumbers the ground, and is worse than useless, because its decay may produce mephitic exhalations which will poison the very air you breathe, and stretch you upon your couch, racked with ceaseless pain, and wasted with foul disease. It will surely pay you to give some little at tention to the appearance of things im mediately about your house. Has it ever entered your mind how bare are its sur roundings ; and how much mors attrac tive, pleasant and homelike it would ap pear if you would expend a little more thought and labor upon them ? Your neighbor. A has planted vines to run over her side porch, aud her kitchen piazza. You do not possess either a porch or piazz ; yet a little money and labor would procure them both for you, and your daughters would gladly plant the vines and tend them. It does seem strange that men who are good farmers who plant and raise fine crops keep a good horse, perhaps two are proud of their fine Btock, and tsake the farm pay well caii be content with such untidy surround ings can allow their back yards to be come such uninviting, and even most foul places. When, however, such farmers desire to sell their farms, they discover their mistake ; then they learn that a neat and beautiful setting is a most desirable re commendation in the disposition of a homestead. They have forgotten all this while occupied with their labors ; but are forcibly reminded of it, if circumstances force them to find a customer for it. Friends, remember that if a little of your time and labor yes, .even money is given to increase the beautiful, they are not expended in vain. Plant an or chard, set out an abundance of small fruits ; cultivate a kithen garden ; make a flower garden and fence in a neat lawn whila you also attend to the surround ings of the back yard aod barns and you will find them more profitable investments than bonds and mortages ; for if their dividends are not paid in gold, they are payable in health, comfort and pleasure, which will profit a man far more than hoarded health. Don't forget the beautiful with the use ful, but combine them, so that one will lend added grace to the other. Two Milesians were standing at the Fairmount water works, watching the big wheels splashing the water, when oue of them rfinarkcd : "Mike, isn't this a quare country, where they have to grind their water before the can use it?" 'I want to know whether we are going to keep house or board before going into this thing," said a young lady at the altar in San Francisco. Commendable fore $t-ht. Feeding Fowls. The best standard soft food is ground oats, if procurable ; barley meal will make an excellent food, and if mixed occasion ally with potatoes well washed, turnips, beet, or mangold wurzel, so much the better; this food should be given ooly in the morning, and then warm, especially in the winter season. Buckwheat as a graio is excellent food, and when fowls get accustomed to it eat it readily ; so is good barley and oats ; peas, beans and In dian corn may also be supplied ; but, as already mentioned, to supply ooly such wastes of the body as these materials are capable of. Spiced food is frequently re commended by poultry writers; some advocate the giving of raw onions at least two or three times a week, with a good supply of cayenne pepper in their food ; others advocate the use of different con diments, all of which are largely made up of stimulants of various kinds. There is no doubt all kinds of spiced food materi ally tend to hasten maturity, whether it be to the chicken, the pullet, or the hen that they are supplied. Chickens when thus fed wheu young will attain to larger size and lay earlier, commencing at about four months old, and hens will be stirau lated to winter and early spring laying, but breeders will do well to bear in mind that the continuance of stimulating fowls beyond a reasonable time will result preju diciously to both old and and young fowls. It cannot be denied, however, that wnen juaiciousiy anu moderately given, used at certain times only, such food is highly beneficial. If given to chickens when fledging, it greatly assists in this, to them, exhausting process; and when given to drooping fowls has marked effect, quickly restoring them to their former healthy condition. It is a good thing, too, to give stimulating food to old fowls in cold or wet weather, aod when molting, and to hens that do not lav in time in early spring ; but in any case when the desired effect is produced spiced food should be discontinued, and the usual plain food bo again restored. In old birds, if given too frequently or continued beyond the time already mentioned, it produces diseased organs and in pullets stunted growth. In the care of chickens of all the larger breeds, the longer ma turity can be postponed the larger tke birds are likely to be, and, no matter what may be said to the contrary, the same feeding which produces force and rapid growth during the very early period of chickenhood will of necessity, if con tinued beyond this, result in stunted be cause precocious adults large size and early maturity cannot be had in the same bird they are incompatible. For many purposes then it is well to have stimulat ing food always on hand or the means by which it may be prepared at a moment's uotice. The followiog condiment mixed with oatmeal will be found highly bene ficial : Take of ground allspice two ounces; ground black pepper two onunces; ground ginger half pound, and brown sugar one pound ; mix together and add to usual food in sufficient quautity to cause a slightly sweet and hot taste. When pre pared it should be kept in a well corked bottle, ready fer use when required. Canada Farmer. How They Drop Shot. A reporter of the Baltimore American thus describes one of the many processes of making shot in one of the shot towers of that city : One of the "secrets" of the manufacture is the mixing of the lead with a certain proportion of a combina tion of mineral substance called "temper" is fused with the lead, and gives the mol ten metal that consistency which makes it drop. If it were not for the "temper" the lead would be moulded by the seive, and would form little pencils instead of round shot. When 4,BI5" shot, for in stance, are to be made, the lead is poured into a pan perforated with holes corres ponding to that size. The little pellets come pouring down in a continuous show er, and fall into a tank filled with water on the ground floor. In their descent of 200 feet they become perfect spheres, firm aod denBe, and they are tolerably cool when they strike the water, although the swift coucussions make the tank foam and bubble as if the water was boiling furisously. The shot must fall in water, for if they would strike any firm sub stance they would be flattened and kuock ed out of shape. To get the little pellets perfectly dry after they have been in the "well" is the most difficult and trouble some process of the manufacture. An elevator with small bnckets (very much like those used in flour mills) carries the shot up as they reach the bottom, of the "well," and deposits them la a box sixty feet above tho first floor. The water drips from the buckets as they go up and not much is poured into the receiver above, although it is intended to be a sort of dripping machine. From this receiver the shot runs down a spout into a dry pan, which greatly resembles a gigantie shoe made of sheet iron. The pan rests at an angle which permits the wet shot to roll slowly down to the chamber below, and the pellets become perfectly dry as they pass over the warm sheet iron. There is a young man residing in Union township, Berks County, who is twenty one years of age, five feet eleven inches in height, and weighs 425 pounds. He enjeys good health, but his excessive obesity prevents bis doing any work. The Editor of tie New York Herald Wins a Foot Race. James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the Herald, has figured both as a yacht man aod a pigeotj-shooter. He eutered on Tuesday a new field, that of a pedes triao, and won a race against a young lawyer, named John Whipple. TUo bets were 3,000 a side, and the walk was from Bennett's residence, corner of Twen y eight Street and Filth Avenue, to Jerome Park, a distance of Uo miles. Bennett had previously no reputation among his acquaintances as a walker, while Wipple was well known for his en durauce. The club frieuds of the two contestants bet, therefore, largely on the latter. Bennett went immediately into training, and for ten days had been trying his speed. lie made an experimental walk between the two points in one hour and forty-two minutes. Whipple did not think it worth while to train until three days before the contest, when he heard of Bennett's performance. The pair started at seven, Bennett wearingdark pantaloons, a striped liueu shirt, and a yellow jocky hat. He is a tall wiry man of thirty three, with a long stretch. Whipple is short and compact, and of the same age. lie wore a sailor s shirt of dark blue, dark pantaloons and a cap of black silk. He walked with a short, quick step, gave his frame little motion and used his arms lightly. Bennett imitated the English pedestrains His arms were akimbo, his hands were held on a level with Im head, and his shoulders played actively. The two kept pretty well abreast for the first mile, though Bennett would occasionally spur ahead and give his opponent extra exertion to catch him. The first mile was made in seven minutes and nine se conds; the second in seven minutes and eighteen and three fourth seconds. Ben nett then began to lead, and Whipple to loose heart. Between One hundred and- seven and One hundred and eight streets he stumbled and fell, complaining of a pain in his side. He rested two minutes, and again started. Bennett, however, kept ahead and made Jerome Park en trance, nine miles and seven furlongs, in one hour, forty six minutes and fifty five seconds. Whipple reached the gate six minutes and fitty five seconds behind him. His friends say that he was not in condition, and desire to bet on him upon a future occasion. Rats Upon Farms From my own experience I estimate that the damage done by the rats upon any one farm is equal to what would be consumed by a pair of horses. That this damage is not prevented simply shows that man knows less than a rat. I found it so, and gave up attempts to trap or poison them, in consequence of repeated defeats. But in self preservation I was obliged to discover some means of getting rid of them and finally concluded that to destroy their haunts was my best plan. I therefore "carried the war into Africa too," as I might say. My first movement was to open all the underpinnings of my buildings, and where they were less thau a foot from the ground to raise them at least 18 inches.- Instead of having the floors of my sheds and pens laid upon sleepers, which rested upon the ground, and thus furnishing the most secure hid ing places for the vermin, I placed them upon sills and joists which rested upon short posts, in short, I let daylight in everywhere. The granary was made so that I could pass around the bins, and the barn was arranged so that the drive ways and everything about was open to daylight and the cats. The most vuloer able point, the corn crib, I raised upon posts, each of which was cipped with a tin pan placed bottom upward, and re moved it three feet from the fence, with in a foot of which it formerly stood. Then the long familiar squeak beneath the floor was heard no more, and the rats that formerly came out wheu the pigs were fed and joined in the feast, had gone ; their little game was up. As for the mice a few of them remained about the barn ; but as soon as they left their hiding places they were picked up even by the fowls, and it was not long before some of my light Brahmas became excel lent mousers. Iu short, by removing every hiding place, permitting no rub bih to lie areuud, and by preserving per fect neatness everywhere, I soon got rid of every rat which formerly infested my premises. Where they went I do uot know exactly, but expect they found pleuty of room and agreeable darkness around my neighbor's barns and sheds. Tribune. A Georgia negro was riding a mule, and when be came to a bridge the mule stopped. "I'll bet you a quarter," said Sambo, "I'll make you go ober dis bridge," and with that struck the mule over the head, which made him nod sud denly. "You take de bet, den?" said the negro, and contrived to get the stubborn mule over the bridge. "I wou dat quarter, anyhow," said Sambow. "But how will you get the uooey 7" ask ed a man w,ho had been close by, unper ceived. "To morrow," replied Sambo, "massa gib uie u dollar to get corn for de mule, aud I take the quarter out." - York borough, with a population of 11,000, has a corporate debt of $11,000, or $1 per capita. Lancaster city, with a population of 20,000, bat a debt of $500, U00, or 225 per capita. Taking off the Shoes. In Syria the people never take off their caps or turbans when entering a house or visiting a friend, but they always leave their shoes at the door. The reason is that their floors are covered with cleau mats and rugs, and in the Moslen houses the men kneel on the rugs to pray, and press their foreheads to the floor, so that it would not be decent or respectful to walk iu with dirty shoes to soil the sijjady on which they kneel to pray. They have no foot mats or scrapers, aud it is much cheaper aod simpler to leave the shoes, dirt and all, at the door. It is very curious to go to the Syrian school houses and see the pile of shoes at the door. There are new bright red shoes, and tattered shoes, and kob-kobs, and black shoes, and sometimes yellow shoes. The kob kobs are woodeo clo:s. made te raise the feet out of the mud and water, having a little strap over the toe to keep it on the foot. You will often see little boys and girls running down steps and paved streets on these dangerous kob kobs. Sometimes they slip, and then down they go, on their noses, and the kob kobs fly off and go rattling over the atones, and little Ali or Yusef, or what ever his name is, begins to shout, "Ya Imme ! Ya Imuie !" "O my mother ! ' and cries just like little children in other countries. But the funniest part is to see the boys when they come out of school aod try to find their shoes. There will be fifty boys, and of course a hundred shoes, all mixed tegether in one pile. When schbol is out the boys make a rush for tbe-door. Then comes the tug of war. A dozen boys arc standing and shuffling on the pile of shoes, looking down, kicking away the other shoes, running their toes into their own, stumbling over the kob kobs, and then making a dash to get out of the crowd. Sometimes shins will be kicked, and hair pulled, and tarbooshes thrown off, and a great screaming follow, which will ouly cease when the teacher comes with "Asa," or a stick, and quells the riot. That pile of shoes will have to answer fcr a good many school boy fights and bruised noses aod hard feeliugs iu Syria. You will wonder how they can tell their own shoes. So do I. And the boys often wear off each other's shoes by mistake or on pur pose, aud then you will see Selim running with one shoe on and one of Ibrahim's in his hand, shouting and cursing Ibrahim's father and grandfather until he gets back his lost property. When Not to do it. Look well to the time of doing anything; there is a time for all things. Choose the right time for saying things. If your wife looks wearied and worn out, be sure that it is not the right time to tell her that the dinner is not hot, or that the bread is sour. Comfort her; cheer her up. Use the ten thousand little stratagems you were wout to handle so skillful)' in the old days, to bring out the smiles around her lips. If you are anooyed or vexed at people, just remember it is Dot the ' right time to speak. Close your mouth, shut your teeth firmly, and it will save you many a useless and unavailing regret, and many a bitter enemy. If you happen to feel a little cross aud who amongst us does not at some time or other, do not select that season for reprov ing your noisy household flock. One word spoken in passion will make a scar that a summer of smiles can hardly heal over. If you are a wife, never tease your bus band when he comes home weary from his day's business. It is not the time. Do not ask him for expensive outlays when he has been talking about hard times; it is most assuredly the wrong time. If he had entered upon any undertak ing against your advice, do not seize in the moment of its failure to say, "I told you so !" In fact, it is never the right time for those four monosyllables. If people only knew enough to discrimi nate between the right time and the wrong, there would be less domestic unhappinegs, and les silent sorrow, and less estrangement of hearts ! The greatest calamities thjtt ever shadow our lives have sometimes their germ in matters ap parently slight as this. If you pause, reader, before the stinging taunt or the biting sneer, the unkind scoff passes your lips, pause just long enough to ask your self, "is it the right time for me to speak ?" you would shut the door against mauy a heart ache. The world hinges on small things, and there not many more trival thau the right time and the wrontr. There is great excitement at Los En- geles, California, in consequence of the arrest of Vasquez. The jail is guarded by a strong force of meu to prevent the escape or the lynching of the prisoner The total appropriation for the capture o! Vasquez and his men is 15,000 S8.000 for the chief. An Oswego paper describes a fire by saying that "the red flames daneed in the heavens and flung their fiery arms about like a black funeral pall until Sam Jones got on the roof aud doused them out with a pail of water." It is good ground for divorce in St. Louis it a wife finds one hundred and thirteen love letters from a red beaded woman in her husband's pocket. The Fishing Laws. It is unlawful to fish at any time with fish baskets, kiddles, eel weirs or racks in any stream iu this State. It is unlawful to fish with a seine, set net, fyke net or net of any other descrip tion, the meshes of which are less than 10 inches, between June 15 and August 10, in any stream. It is unlawful to fish for trout except for purpose of propagation or seientifio investigation, io any other manner than with hook and line. It is unlawful to fish for salmon and speckled trout between April 1 and Au cut 10 ; speckled trout only to be cansrht by hook and line. It is unlawful, to catch, kill, or sell or have in possession, salmon or lake trout between October 1 and March 1. It is unlawful, to place a set net across -any canal, rivulet or creek io this State. It is unlawful to fish for black bass, pike or pickerel in any other manner than with hook and line, or scroll ; and only with hook and line, or scroll between June 1 and March 1, exept when taking them alive for stocking other waters. It is unlawful to fish at any time in any inland wafer (such as a creek, river or other stream) in this State iuhabited by black bass or speckled trout with a net f any kind the meshes of which are less than 3 inches. It is unlawful to fish with seines or nets in any place where the water has been partly or wholly drawn off, or to fish in any way by drawing off any waters. It is unlawful to set lines in auy stream inhabited by speckled trout. There is nothing in the several acts of 1873 to prevent the setting of outlines in any stream not inhabited by speckled trout, subject to fcrnoins restrictions as to the time of fishing and the species of fish caught. State Dinners at the White House. At the state dinners in the Presiden tial Mansion when foreigners are invited, their rank, time of servivce and official position are taken into account, el?e of fence would be given to the gentleman who has served threo years hy placing him in a less prominent position at the table than the gentleman who has been, an ambassador or other dignitary for only two years and eleven months. To Mr. Luckley, one of the President's secreta ries, is assigned the delicate duty of ar ranging guests at the fable properly, and the amount of labor the accomplishment of this satisfactory result entails upQ hi ui is by no means small. After the guests have accepted invitations, Mr. Luckley, by dint of much careful study of official prejudice, selects the different positions each is to occupy at the Presi dential board. lie makes a diagram of the table, and places in a little slit the name of the person who is to occupy each particular seat. This is sent to the proper official, who places on the respective plate the bill with the name of the party who is to sit near it. Mr. Luckley then places in a small envelope the Dame of each gentleman invited, with another card, upou which is written the tame of the lady whom he is to escort to dinner. These envelopes are given to the gentle men as they arrive, and each is supposed to be perfectly delighted with the prize he has drawn. By this means, the guests are allotted places and partners suitable to their"rank, while no one's appetite is lessened by being assigned an improper place at the table. Making Him Pay. The followiog story, which Ins never been printed, is indicative of the t-enti-mnt of the California merchant, on the' subject of John Chiuaman. The seena is laid in San Francisco. The merchant is calmly waiting for customers to drop in, when there appeared in the .street a long column of Ah Sins and Chang. Loos. Arriving in front of the store, slowly, and with measured tread, they range themselves along the sides of the apart ment, when the following conversation ensues : Chang Lo "Have you sot nny cotton twinee V Merchant vYes " "How muchee chariree V "A dollar a pound." "I gives fifty cent." "Git out." And without another word being said on either side they departed as they had come. In about an hour the same per formance exactly was enacted. "Have you got any cotton twinee?" "Yes" "How ruuehee chargee ?" "A dollar u pound." "I givce scventee five cent." "Git out." And with charming decorum they immediately got. Now the merchaut was used to this sort of thing. The evil was one of long standing but the remedy was simple and easily applLd. Seudiutf out to a neighboring bu'eher shop for the loau of a cleaver, he eerenj'y awaiteJ the appearance of that haj py bund, for he knew they would come; oh. y s. they would eertainly come again Sure i uouh, he was not disappointed. But a littla while, and all oneonseious that thy h ever been in that store before, or h d ever in the course of their otuial livt-s et eyes ou that nierch in', Chat.ir Lm, with a winning smile, in teir g iied, II i vft you got any cotton twine ?"
