A corresponds at of the German
Joich Telegraph serin 3 to have hit up
on a plan of trapping these little vil
lains which is so easily tried that the
experiment should Iks wade with the
peach and cherry and all other fruits
liable to their attacks. He says :
Soak corn cobs in sweetened water
tmtil thorouchlr saturated, then sus
pend them to the limbs of the trees a
little while after blossoming, being
mire to bum the coba after the fruit
vinona tt i Tir trill Via found full of
the young insects. A good rln is ,0
change the cobs every few wee as.
My theory is this that the insects
deposit their eggs in the cobs in pref
erence to doingso in the young plums.
The first season I tried it upon one
or two onlv, and in the summer , wa
rewarded by a pood crop of ns fine
plums as erer ripened, while those
on the other trees foil off when about
half grown. Nest spring found
sweetened corn cobs dangling from
the limbs of all my plums trees, and
the summer found them full of de
licious fruit. I have never known it
to fail, and I hope every reader who
has a plum tree will try it.

It is very annoying after having
set out a nice lot of. sweet potato or
cabbage plants, to see them cut down,
one by one, by the cut worms. We
have tried ashes, lime, soot, and, in
everything we have ever heard of,
but never found anything effectual
until, by accident, we found three or
Tour of the worms one morning gather
ed nnder a small board which had
been left by some children on a 6weet
potato hill Acting upon this hint,
we placed small pieces of board, large
chips, etc., all through the patch, and
we trapped them by hundreds. The
boards must be lifted early in the
morning, and on very warm days
a;rain about noon. A little care for a
few dayg Till clear these pests out of
the garden One
trial will satisiy
anv person of the merits of this plan.
Ex.
Keeping- Cream.
Cext in importance to having miik
pure and sweet, and free from all
animal odors, comes the matter of
keeping the cream after it is taken off
the milk. In the first place, tbc less
milk there is with the cream at the
time it is set in the cream jar the bet
ter. A great deal of carelessness is
shown in this matter, for be it known
that milk makes cheese, while the
cream only makes butter ; and the
more milk there is in tbc cream at
churning time, the more cheesy flavor
ed will be the butter, and, therefore,
the more likely to spoil afterward, un
excessirely salted. Really pure, good
butter requires very little salt ; while
butter ordinarily made will soon
spoil, unless weli salted or kept cov
ered with brine. ;-
Ben Cords.
Many of our readers will recognize
the truthfulness of the following nar
ative as told by the funny man of the
Panbury News.
It is a little singular why your
wife's mother will persist in sleeping
on a cord ' bedstead. , Sot she does.
You don't think so much of this until
you are called upon to put it up,
which event generally takes place in
theerening. The bedstead has been
cleaned in the afternoon, and having
been soaked through with hot water,
is now ready for putting up. Your
wife holds the lamp and takes charge
of the conversation. The rope has
been under water several times in the
course of the cleaning, and having
swollen to a diameter greater than the
holes in the rails, has also got into a
fit of coiling up into mysterious and
very intracate forms. You at first
wonder at this, but pretty soon won
der ceases to be a virtuc.and you then
scold. The thread which has leea
wound around the end of the rope to
facilitate its introduction in the holes
has come off, and you have to roll it
un again. Then, after you have pull
ed it through eight holes, your wife
makes the discovery that you have
started wrong. The way that rope
comes out of those holes again makes
your wife get closer to the door.
Then you try again, and get it tan-
rfed in your legs. By this time von
notice that this is the smallest bed
room in the house, and you call the
attention of your wife to the fact by
observing; "Why n earth don't you
open the oorf Do you want to
smother me f She opens the door and
you start again, and she helps yon
with the lamp. First she puts it on
the wrong side of the rail, then she
moves it 60 the heat comes up the
chimney and scorches your nose.
Just as you need it the most, yon
loose sight of it entierly, and turning
around, find her examining the wall
to show how that man has put on the
"whitewash. This cxeitep you and
brings out the perspiration in greater
profusion, and you declare you will
kick the bedstead out doors if she
doesn't come round with that light
Then she comes round. Finally the
cord U laid all right, and you pro
ceed to execute the very delicate job
or tigntenmg it ine lower ropes
are first walked over. This is done
by stepping on the first and sinking
it down, banging to the bead-board
with the clutch of death. Then you
step with the other foot on the next
line, spring that down, lose your bal
ance, grab for the head hoard, miss it,
and come down in a beap. 1 bis is
repeated more or less times across
the bed, the only variety being the
new places you bruise.
The top cords are tightened in
another way, and you now proceed
to that . 1 ou first put one foot on
each rail.' which spreads you some,
and as you do it the frightful thought
strikes you that if one of those feet
slip ever, nothing on earth would
prevent you from being split through
to the chin. Then you pull up tle
first rope until your eyes seem to be
on the point of rolling out of their
sockets, and the blood in your veins
lairly groans, and on being convinced
that you can't pull it any further
without TTteplinr nrourself for life.
you catch hold tjf the next rope and
draw that np, and grunt. Then vou

have got to the middle and commence
to tbtnk that you are about through,
even if your joints will never again
set as they did before, you some way
or. other miss the connection, and find
that you have got to go back and do
aO over, llzn you pause for a few
minutes cf craenfar refreshment, then
slowly asi carefully work your way
back. Yon don't jump down and
walk back, because you are afraid to
spread out in that way again. 1 ou

stature, great in strength, and in all
deeds of daring and cnenrv he out
stripped those of his own age. The
reputation which these finalities ob
tained lor him excited the jealosy ot
his father, and Chaka, to save his life,
fled to the Amatetwc. a neighboring
tribe.Avbosf chief cave hiui protec
tion. With these people he remained
until he was thirty years of age.when
hU father died, and" by which time he
was distinguished above all 1 men as
the possessor of gifts that are in mgn
esteem with the zulas. Uy the aid
of some of the Amatetwe he made
himself chief of his own people ; and
the lirst act that signalized Ins reign
was the putting to death of all whom
he suspected of ljoing hostile to him-
self. This was sanguinary, but from
this point of view no worse, and ful-
' !y aa necessary as the coup tt etat uy
which more civilized potentates have
obtained the supreme power. His
next exploit was to-make war upon
and to subdue the tribe that had pro
tected him when he was an exile.
This was unirratcful. but men of
great ambition nearer home have
contemplated ingratitude as great
Then he abolished the old laws, and
enacted the Code Choka, by which as
chief he was invested with absolute
personal authority, and, as in more
clightcned lands" the entire nation
was made subservient to the produc
tion and maintenance of an army.
- '
Then he introduced a new system of
warfare, lie marshalled his troops
into regiments, which were formed
into three divisions, a portion of each
being incorporated with every force
that took the field. Instead "of the
ordinary bush fighting, he made his
men fight at close quarters ; and for
the slender javelin that was thrown
at a distance, he substituted a single
stabbing spear of stouter materials,
the loss of which was punished with
death. For defensive purposes he
gave to each man a large shield made
of Buffalo bide. His diciplinc was
severe. His soldiers had no alterna
tive but to conquer or to die, for re
treat, even when compelled thereto
by superior numbers, was visited by
bim with death. But such a punish
ment was rarely necessary; for Chaka
was a consummate general, and had
the art of inspiring his followers with
his own irresistible spirit. He made
war upon all around him, and tribe
after tribe was conquered, until he
had been proclaimed victorious from
the Mapoota to the Umzimvubu.
Having thus satisfied his war-like am
bition, he directed his energies to the
consolidation of his empire. And in
the doing of this he seems to have
eaaned his terrible surname as much
by th ; merciless exercise of his de
epoti; power upon those who bad be
come ' his people," as by his warfare
his enemies. As he grew old his
natural force abated, his servants
conspired again? him, and he was
murdered on the 23d of September,
1828. Man rejoiced at his death;
but the Zulas cherished the memory
of his greatness, swear by the terror
of his name, and have made his war
song their , national anthem. And,
judging him by the standard of his
possibilities, be was worthy of this
honor. Oat of a number of petty
and conflicting kingdoms he made an
empire which did not disappear at
his death. Out of an undisciplined
rabble he organized an army of 100,-
000 men, which has Iieen fonnd to be
irresistible by every native force
against which it has been hurled.

liquor was not property, therefore a

I upland Keenes Anions the Peasant
rjr. .
The site f the camp was barren
enough, a few stunted birch trees be
ing the sole representatives of veg
etable life, unless ono includes the
few patches of bla-bar and the scraps
of moss, which had" been trodden as
nearly as possible to the condition of
the meagre 6oil which afforded them
their existence.
This scene of desolation and ununt
igated dampness was the actual
home of the Laplander, and now
were we to make acquaintance with a
family of these quaint and interesting
people. They are true Mongolians,
we are told, and much of the poetical
is often connected with their names.
The Arabs of the north, the dwellers
in tents, the proud and ingenious
people who are vainglorious of their
isolated life and contented with their
peaceful ncss, who havo never known
war with their neighbors or feuds
anion? themselves, and who so re
joice in the natural ocauues oi me
country that it seems to -them tue
fairest the world can boast.
Surely this is a people with whom it
is well to make aciiuaintance.
The raijcitare lifts the I1hj which
serves as au entrance to the tent, and
announces' our arrival to the family
within. It is an ordinary lata, per
haps eight feet in diameter, with a
fire in its centre, above which is a
hole in the roof to 6crve as a means
of exit for the smoke. We conject
ure that such a tent might accommo
date two, three, perchance four per
sons, and we wait to see now many
emerge
. One comes forth a man dressed in
a garment skins.brown andrusty.with
tall cap, also brown and rusty, which
has a lonir projecting peak Span-
rrlcs of brass and other barbarous or-
ii a incuts adorn bis person, anu a knno
hangs at his side. His face is tanned
to the color of his dress of skins ; his
expression is one of low cunning and
arrant knavery, and his bleared eyes,
that arc watering from the smoky at
mosphere in which he has been sit
ting, lend to his hang-dog face an ap
pearance of disipation that is melan
choly to sec. Is there anything of

There is nothing but dirt !
But he is followed by anotber an
imal of the same tj-ie, an old woman,
who grins and smirks, and chatters;
an undesirable, filthy old hng. Then
follows a younger woman, another
man, a third woman, two more men ;
and there are still an old man and
two women in the tent. Wc have

with dirt, their hands arc caked with
dirt ; they arc the princes of dirt, and
the very personification of dirt
The ramdecr, - among wbicb we
find ourselves, are good specimens of
the animal. Some of the number are
fine, handsome beasts, with tall,
branching anticrs, that reach above
one's head ; but mostly they are not
so large, their size hardly exceeding
that of a young calf. Many are a
dun brown, shading off to white un-
cr the bellv and round the head ;
but the greater portion arc of a pecu-
lar white. The hair is long and
thick, in such dense masses on the
creatures' sides so as to lc of surpri
sing softness. They certainly require
a warm covering, for in the extreme
of winter it frequently occufs that
they must endure a coldness of tem
perature which measures on the scale
of Fahrenheit, would be represented by
perhaps 80 degrees of frost. Such cold
is of the most intenceseverity.butit is
often reached in Swedish Lapland ;
it is in fact, far colder there than on
the north cost of .Norway, where the
sea is never frozen up ; colder even
than the extreme north, where the
Arctic expeditions have wintered.
The lowest temperature recorded in
the meteorological register attached
to Dr. Sutherland's account of the
expedition under Mr. Ponn, dispatch
ed by the Admirality in 1850 to
search for traces of John Franklin, is
only 41 dergeca below zero, or 13 de
grees of frost. This was attained on
the 24th of February, 1851.
The hair of the raindeer seems to
be but indifferently fastened to the
skin, and is perpetually falling off.

state of moult, although not, of course,
to such an extent for it to be appar
ent bt vond tho .more aigns of loose

Our old .friend, yxko had taken us
under ber charge, was an important
personage in the milking icclosure,
her duty-eonwHting in lassoing the
deer and tving them up ready for
milking. The process of catching the
animals is very pretty. The wary
old woman prepares the rope in her
black and shrivelled bands, casts a
glance round the herd before singling
out her victim ; then, with a dexte
rous throw which seldem misses its
aim, she flings the noos round the se
lected animal's horns", and,' "hauling
in the slack," has the raindeer a most
secure prisoner. She then knots the
rope about the animals nose, and ties
it firmly to a tree : nfter which she di
rects her attention to another member
of the herd. . ' i
When an animal is srrsred, one of
the other Lapps, either man or wo.
man, carrying a dirty, little bowl
having a long handle, approaches the
captive and commences the operation
of milking, which, accompanied by
many resounding slaps on the deer's
udder, is a process of sufficient nas-
tince to provoke & sentiment hinch
resembling a "disgust. A 1 "'-
Kach animal yields about half a
pint of milk & rich, unctuous liqndi,

we had bcco the warm fluid trickling
ouer the grimy .hands of tho" Jjapps,
from which it certainly received a
modicum of dirt . I sipped for the

Selling- ine Pntipcra In Switzerland.
The curious contradictions, says
the Swiss times, to be found in Switz
erland in which aristocratic and
democratic social conditions exist
side by side nnder a republican form
of general government have often
supplied food for tho travelers com
ments. Some of the contrasts so
presented arc indeed sufficiently start
ling. Wc have in most cantons po
litical institutions of au advanced
democratic kind, and a very thor
ough system of national education,
wbiic tne petty tyrrannies or commu
nal life in the same districts are such
as could not be surpassed in the States
of the moBt retrograde tlesjtotic type.
The physical condition of Switzcr-.
land has doubtless helped to maintain
the abuses which we arc accustomed
to associate with a by-gono time.
The mountain fastnesses, that are
fondly regarded as the cradle of free
dom, have also served as barriers
against the rush of the revolutionary
spirit which swept away so many rel
ics of mediaeval barbarism and social
inequality.
One of the worst of these surviv
ing evils is the practice which obtains
in many communes of farming out
the children of the poor, the old, and
the incapable. This is generally per
formed in this way: Once a year the
elders of the commune assemble in
the public place of the village, where
are arraigned before them all such
specimens of humanity as are incapa
ble of providing for themselves. The
parents or other relations of these
objects of public concern stand by.
The President of the commune, in
whom is often vested completely ar
bitrary and despotic powers, has the
Bible and the law code lying before
him, and after he has read the condi
tions relative to farming, hiring, &c ,
the business proceeds. The custom
is to farm the agod, the infirm, and
the children too young for useful la
bor to those who offer to take them,
at the lowest rate, while those able
to perform remunerative work are let
out :o the highest bidder.
In a recent number of tho Land
bote, a correspondent gives a sketch
of one of these "human markets"
which took place in a village beauti
fully situated in the Zurich Oberladd.
Arriving at the place about 8 o'clock
in the morning, he saw a number of
poor, miserable forms, all going to
ward the village inn, in the dancing
6aloon of which a large portion of the
population had assembled. Old and
young, men and women, sick and
healthy, stood in a semi-circle round
a table at which were seated the com
munal magnates; the orphan, help
less or forsaken children, the aged,
crippled and infirm,, occupying the
front row.
After stating that the business of
farming or hiring out these burdens
of the commune happened to fall at
an unfavorable time, in consequence
of bad weather, the late war, Ac.,
the President stated the condition on
which, according to old custom, chil
dren were to be taken in charge.
Each "master" must keep the child
in sickness or health for one year ;
the cost of slight illness to be "borne
by himself, while a grave case could
Ih? sent to the hospital. The master
must also pay the school fee of any
loy in his charge, for which he could
exact an extra year's service as com
pensation. The business of dispos
ing of tho village imwdimenta now
commenced, each "article" answer to
name, age, sex, parentage, Ac. There
were about thirty to be thus allotted.
The first was a little girl of about
nine years of age, illegitimate, whom
the President introduced with the re
mark that, though she was like her
mother, it was to be hoped that she
would turn out better. ..Bids were
made from different sides, and she
was finally knocked down to some
body who offered to provide for her
for 0frs. A girl of fourteen, who
seemed to be a hard case, went to a
master for 20frs. The next in order
was a youth of sixteen, who, the
President affirmed, was so addicted
to stealing that nothing was safe from
him. After a good deal of chaffering
and bargaining, the lad was knocked
down at 3Gfrs. The next case was
that of a half idiot youth, whose ap
pearance caused much laughter and
merriment Then another girl was
brought forward, concerning whom
the pastor made the "mysterious re
mark: "That child has a propensity
ot which one cannot speak to every
one." Some laughter followed, while
the girl blushed and burst into tears.
The whole affair was made the occa
sion of the greatest coarseness and
brutality.
A mather now appeared before the
auctioneers with her three children.
"Would it not be well for us to take
these children away ?" asked the
President. "I will not shame you by
saying anything more, although a re
mark would not le out of place. The
children need good examples." And
with the like gratuitous insults they
were put up for bids. The mother
begged to have her children back,but
in vain, and they were finally given
in charge of different masters. The
master of an apprentice of fifteen was
taken to task because the youth had
not made his appearance. The man
excused the lad 'by saying he was
ashamed to appear before so many
people, and so he had tried to make
up the matter with the pastor. He
was told that the youth must come in
order that the affair might be arrang
ed in an official manner, and a tipstaff
was wot fur the lad. An infirm
old woman failed to appear on ac
count of sickness, . Those who ' had
her in -charge were widl rated because
her health was worse than twelve
months previous, and received but 80
francs instead of 90 fraDcs aa licforc
for her keep. Another woman who,
it would appear, had been farmed out
into a fresh parish every year, had
the price for her board and lodging
raised from 104 to 125 frades. A child
was taken from one nurse and given
to another for a difference of 5 francs,
and so the business proceeded amid
a striking exhibition of coarseness
and inhumanity, such as wc may
hope will not be annually repeated
much longer,
