Itrripbrrloc Burnt Dornmcnt".
Mr. Kathelot, an officer of the Paris
law courts, bas succeeded in an in
genious manner in transcribing a
number of the registers which were
burnt during tbe Commune. These
registers bad remained so long in
tbe Cre that each of them seemed to
have become a homogeneous block,
more like a slab of charcoal than any
thing else, and when an attempt wa3
made to detach a leaf it fell away
into powder. Many scientific men
bad examined these unpromising
black blocks, when M. Ratbelot bit
upon tbe following method of opera
tion : In the first place be cut off tbe
buck of the book so as to leave noth
ing hot the mass of leaves which tbe
Gro bad caused to adhere to each
other; be then Eteepcd the book in
water, and afterwards exposed it, all
wet as it was, to the beat at tbe
month of a calorifcrc, tbe water, as
it evaporated, raised the leaves one
1 y one, and they could be separated,
but with extraordinary precautions.
Each sheet was then deciphered and
transcribed, and tbe copy certified by
a legal officer. In this way the re
cords of ucarly 0,000 official acts
have beea 6aved. The appearance
of the pages wis very curious; the
writing appeared of a dull black,
while the paper was of a lustrous
black, something like velvet decora
tions on a black 6atin ground, so that
the entries were not difficult to read.
Pruning To Jtncn.
Tbe Gardener's Monthly states
that the evii effects of severe pruning
on fruit trees are clearly recognized.
All pruning, winter or summer, is an
injury to vitality. Frequently the
injury is so slight that tbe tree soon
recovers, and, some other advantage
being gained, pruning on the whole,
may be a benefit. It is well bow
ever to always keep in view tbe prin
ciple that pruning always weakens,
in order to do as little of it as possi
ble, consistantly with what we wish
to accomplish. At this season we
may do some good in saving the
necessity of winter pruning by pinch
ing out shoots we may not want
while they are in a young immature
state. It should be a main object to
make ali transplanted trees not merely
have leaves, but have new shoots at
the earliest possible moment. If
growing very well they may be al
lowed to perfect a few fruits. Over
bearing on a newly planted tree, is
one of the bast ways for makiog it
stunted for years.
A Cnrtoas Fnrt.
In addition to the fact that ice is
lighter than water there is another
curious thing about it which many
persons do not perhaps know name
ly, its purity. A lump of ice melted
will become distilled water. Water
in freezing turns out of it all that is
not water, salt, air, coloring matter
and all impurities. Frozen sea water
makes fresh water ice. If you freeze
a basin of indigo water, it will make
ice as clear and as white as that made
of pure rain water. Wheii the cold
is very sudden all these foreign mat
ters have not time to escape, either
by rising or sinking, and arc thus
entangled with the ice, but do not
make any part of it.

There is no really effective method
of destroying lice upon any animal
without oil or grease of some sort.
lu some recent experiments in Eng
land, a mixture of one part 'of sul
phur with three parts of lard, and a
mixture of one part of oil of tar with
three parts of linseed oil, destroyed
the lice to which .they were applied
almost immediately, while corrosive
sublimate, mercurial ointment, arseni
ous acid, and carbolic acid were with
out any effect at the end of two Lours
and tobacco destroyed tbe vermin at
tbe end of an hour. We bave found
a mixture of lard and kerosene oil to
completely destroy lice, both upon
poultry and calres, without anv io
jury to tbe animals whatever. Kcro
sene oil alone will severely injure the
skin.

The Wilton (Iowa) Exponent bas
the following information regarding
the new cattle plague which bas
pr0ven so fatal to stock in tbe vicini-
of Tbe .g fig
rimt ia ts WOrkings as it is fatal
h indication of
an attack is noticed by a . violent
.
twitching of the muscles of the under
jaw of the animal; then a frothing
at the mouth, from which saliva
flows freely; the eyes become
watery, and tbe animal seems to suffitr
the most intense pain, which increases
from the moment they are attacked
until death ensues, which in no case
has been longer than twenty
four hours. They commence rub
bing the bead, mostly on tbe leftside,
and continue until tbe skin, and
sometimes one of tbe ears is. rubbed
off, the head swells np bo as to close
tbe eye9 in many cases. The last
struggle eeems to be a tremendous
one. Tbe animal stands erect, and
straining every muscle to the u'.most
extension, giving evidence' to a
powerful internal convulsion, they
utter the most pitiful cry, you can
hardly call it anything else, and
throwing tbe bead from side to sido
they fall over dead. Our best vet
erinary talent bas been taxed to the
extent of its abuity to had a name
for the disease and a cure for tbe con
tagion, but without success. Change
of pasture will prevent fever, but has
no influence in checking this malady
Tbe remedies administered are nu
merous but ineffective. Climate may
have something to do with it, but we
think not, and we shall s expect
dealers to profit by this experience
and look well to the locality from
which they procure their stock cat

It is not very difficult to determine
the cause of this affection, called
scurvy , on the legs of fowls. It is
want of cleanliness and proper exer
cise but it is not very difficult to ef
fect a cure. If the fowls hare been
permitted to run for a considerable
time, until the legs are encased in
scurf, a thorough washing with warm
strong soap-suds to remove the outer
scurf, and after drying tbe legs, make
an application of bog's lard and flour
of sulphur mixed together, will gener
ally effect a cure.
In very bad cases a second applica
tion may be necessary. This affec
tion generally manifests itself by a
sort of ashy appearance on the inside
of the legs of fowls, just below the
hock joints and about the feet At
this period a simple thorough greas
ing with lard alone will ' often effect
a cure. Kerosene oil bas been tried
effectually in many cases, but the
lard and sulphur is supposed to be
the best.
Root far Stock tdlnc.
In Urittany, the parsnfp is becom
ing tbe favorite root for stock feed,
and its culture is extending. In the
Channel Islands this root forms a
large portion of the fodder of the Jer
sey, Guernsey, and Alderny cows,
and much of their value as rich milk
ers is undoubtedly due to tbe use of
this root for a longe series ot years.
It is well known to phyisologists says
the Xew York Tribune, how great
an effect upon the condition of a
breed of animals is caused by a long
period of careful feeding, end 1 this is
a conspicious instance of ft.- This
root in many parts of Franco is sub
stituted for oats as feed for horses,
sixtecu pounds a day being given
with the best effect. For pigs it is
also largely used, nine pounds of
cooked roots being fed four times a
day. One great advantage of this
root is its hardiness; the supply for
spring may be left in the ground all
winter, and i? in tbe best condition
to harvest at anv time when needed.
Smnll Slenes In Mow lna Firtra.
It is an excellent practice to iro over
the mowing fields just after haying;
and pick up and carry off the loose,
small Ptones, which may bave been
started up by the tedder or horse-
rake. A few hours time fpent in
this way, some cloudy day, will af
ford the satisfaction of knowing that
there will be nothing in the way of
the mowing machine kuives when a
second crop of rowen is ready to cut,
or when tbe machine comes round
next year. Besides it may tsave ex
pensive breakage and fserious delays
while tbe dcplicate parts are being
sent from long distances. Mowing
machines always seem to break just
when they are most wanted.
Small fagt stones that are too email
to be acen in thick grass, may often
be knocked down out of the way or
have their top broken off by a heavy
sledge hammer. It will pay to try
