that adorn and embellish civilized
life.
In this business, as In all others,
the first thine to do is to discover
mistakes, and then remedy them
I'ntil within a hundred vears it is a
rerr doubtful matter whether the
world bad, for two thousand years,
made anv orotrress whatever in aetn
al agricultural knowledffe. The
Creeks and Romans, and Egyptians
nnl Assvrians. cultivate their soil
better than any portion of tbe earth
was cultivated even fifty years ago,
One great drawback to the diffu
sion of correct views on this subject
a is tbe same drawback we meet with
,-Q disseminating truths on all other
Mibirets namely, preconceived no
tions w bieh cannot be readily over
throwu. In religion, tbey make
bigots: in science, they bury or cru
eify martyrs, like Galileo or lOium
bus; in literature, they perpetuate
and transmit frm age to age books
and theories, and styles, which every
educated man coming afterwards is
confronted with and which cannot
readily be overthrown. Bacon found
this true when be overthrew the sys-
tim of Aristotle, but be knew it
would take a century to do it, and
he sftvs. " I leave my fame to after
agcs.';
The hardest obstacle to overcome
in disseminating correct views on
agriculture, however, is not precon
ceived impressions, which may be
called prejudices, but the actual dis
semination, in too many instances, of
false views.
Tbe time has come when the best

l'rrttlmmons.
The persimmon, in its uufrostcd
state, is an austere, harsh fruit, which
no oue, unless just learning to whis
tle, cares to indulge in. When, how
ever, it has been exposed in some
frost, it is generally agreeabl e to
most tastes. A very large market
could be found for them in the cities,
if thev could bo got in"there wilhou
mashing, but this has been hitherto
fond impossible. A very short dis
tance of travel over a roadroad is
enough to turn a basketful into a
shapeless mass.
SN'ow we think it is well worthy of
thought by those practical minds that
arealwavson the lookout for some
thing on which to make, whether
s mietbiug cannot be done to turn the
i persimmon into practical account as
a market fruit for great cities. 1 ears
ago it was thought that the straw
berry and raspberry could not be
grown to anv profit away from large
cities, because in bulk thej mash to
gether so. But 1 ankee genius got
over this difficulty by tbe invention
of the berry basket, by which the
mass of fruit was divided into small
lots, and thus prevented from crush
ing on one another in slatted crates
The same surely could be done with
the pers'mmon. Little shallow bas
kets could be provided in which the
persimmon would lie only two courses
thick. It is not necessary to wait
till the frost soltens tbe fruit before
gathering them, as then they get
mushy in handling. But they can
be gathered before tbe frost while
yet hard and firm, aud put in the
crates, and the crates allowed to
freeze through. We arc much mis
taken if quite a good trade might
not be got up in persimmons in this
way. ( cr m a n ( ow n Telegraph .

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune saya: There are 12,00U
windmills in Holland and tlemisn
Belgium, each doing from six to ten
horse nawer service, according to tbe
strength of the wind, and working
twenty -four hours per day, and every
day in tbe mentn aunng me muj
season, and when the snow and ice
are melting and the streams are nign.
The annual cost of the windmills in
Holland is $4,000,000. Twenty times
that sum would not operate steam
power sufficient to du their work;
for recollect that all the coal consum
ed in Holland bas to be Imported
from England or Belgium.
Go where you will you are never
out of sight of windmills iq motion.
In the suburbs of large cities, and t
certain points where tbe waters of
tbe ditches and canals ia collected to
be thrown over the embankments,
tbey are congregated like armies of
gia'nU, and never cease swinging
their long, boge arms. They are
constructed of muL larger ilbxen
sious l"" uose seen in tbe United
States. Tbe usual length of tne ex
tended arms is about eighty feet, but
many of tbcm are more than 120
feet.
But the windmills in Holland are
not exclusively employed iu lifting
water, but are used for every pur
pose of tbe stationary steam engine.
I observed a number of them at
Rotterdam, Antwerp, the Hague,
and here at Amsterdam, engaged in
running sawmills, cutting up logs
brought from Norway, and others
were driving planing mills and flour
iug milJs, brickmaking machines, or
beating bemu.
Those used to lift water out of
ditcbes into canals and embanked
rivers have wheels instead of pumps
attached to them, as they are less
liable to get out of order, and are
thnfrht to remove more water to a

An account of a lady dentist at
Berlin appears in If omen and Work,
edited by Miss Emily Faithful. Tbe
husband or dentist died, and left her
without means. She had often watch
ed him at work, and resolved to be
come a dentist herself; but the law
forbade any one to practice dentistry
without a certificate, which could be
gained only by examination, aad
there was no examination for women.
Informed that an American certifi
cate would be accepted she resolved
to come to Philadelphia, where she
bad been told she could study. Here
she learned no woman bad ever ap
plied to the College of Dentistry;
but, after much discussion, she was
allowed to attend lectures and work
ia tbe laboratory, while private in
struction was given ber. She pass
ed a successful examination, and
commenced practice. She to!? re-
turned to uarnn wun ner certificate,
She continued tbe practice in that

most singular illustration of the de

through pine woods, a brood of par

Tbe following is said to be one of
tbe most brilliant articles written by
tbe lamented Qeo. D. Prentice.
Tbe fate of nature is inexorable.
There is no repeal or relief from the
great law which dooms us to tbe
dust We flourish and fade aa tbe
leaves of the forest, and tbe flowers
that bloom and wither io a day,
have no frailer bold upon life than
the mightiest monarch that ever
shook the eanh with his footsteps.
Generations of men will appear and
disappear as tbe grass, and the
multitude that throng tbe world to
day, will disappear aa the footsteps
on the shore, ilea seldom think of
the great event of dath nntil tbe
shadows fall across their ova path-
war, biding from their eves the
faces of loved ones whose living
smiles was tbe sunlight of their ex
istence. Death is the antagonist of
life, and the cold thought of the tomb
is the skeleton of all feasts. We do
not want to go through tbe dark
valley, although its dark passage
may lead to paradise; we do not
waut to lay down in the damp grave,
even with princes as bed fellows.
In the beautiful drama of Ion, tbe
hope of immortality, so elegantly ut

All metals are solid except mercu
ry or quicksilver, which is fluid un
der ordinary temperature. viuiu,
silver, iron, copper, mercury, tin,
lead and zinc, are tbe principal use
ful metals. Gold is more malleable
than any other metal. It does not
tarnish "by exposure to air or water.
Malleable means capable of being
drawn out and extending by beating.
A single grain of gold may be beaten
to cover a surface of nearlv thirty
square yards. Silver is supposed to
be the best conductor of heat and
electricity, bence the silver points on
lightning rods. Iron is more ductile
than any other known metal and is
strongly attracted by tbe magnet
An iron wire one thirty-sixth of an
inch in diameter will sustain or sup
port a weight of wity pounds. The
great difference between iron and
other metals is in its hardness and by
a peculiar process it may be convert
ed into steel, which is so bard that
it will cut any known substance ex
cept the diamond. Copper is very
malleable and ductile. It is bard,
elastic and sonorous. Copper was
first wrought by the Greeks of tbe
island of Cyprus whence it derives
its name. Verdigris is made of the
rust of copper. Mercury i3 a fluid;
it is of a silvery white color; it pos
sesses a high degree of luster and
readily expands aud contracts with
changes of temperature, bence it is a
gqjtabje fluid for the tubes of ther
mometers. Tbe color known as ver.
million, and tbe medicine called calo
mel, are prepared from quicksilver or
merpury. Tin has a siirery nue
ness and brilliancy, and is very mal-
leable. Plates of Vm called tinfoil
are so thin that 1,000 of them are
only one inch in thickness. Sheet tin
is sheet iron dipped into meitea tin,
a portion of w hich adheres to tbe
surface as tin, aud another enters into
the iron and alloys it. This kind of
tin is used in tbe manufacture of
pans and other utensils. Tbe an
cients are supposed to have made
use of tin; and there is a good rea
son for believing that it was obtain
ed by tbe Phoenicians, from Corn?
wall and Spain, at least 1,000 years
before Christ. Lead is a very soft
metal, being easily u arked by tbe
finger nail. It is very malleable, and
may be rolled into very tbin plates.
Water pipes made of lead are easily
acted on by soft water containing
oxygen and carbonic acid, and, as
lead ia poisonous, tbe particles con
tained in tbe water render it un
wholesome. Spr.ng water has not
the same effect on lead, because jt
contains more mineral suits of vari
ous kinds, which prevent the decom
position of the lead. Lead is useful
in tbe arts. Wfcite lead and red
used by painters are mado ffom lead.
Litharge is also a preparation of lead.
Shot are made of an allay, or conir
pound of lead and arsenic. The ar
senic serves to render the lead more
hard and brittle. Zinc is not readily
acted on by the air or water. or
this reason it is used for roofing, lin
ing of refrigerators, gutters, &c., and
is also employed for coating iron to
prevent rusting. Iron coated with
zinc, is called galvanized iron. Zinc
is used in the construction of voltaic
or galvanic batteries. In commerce
zinc is known by the name of spel
ter. Large quantities are obtained
from tho mines of Silesia. An alloy
is tbe combination of one or more
metals. The principal alloys are
bronze, bell metal, brass, pewter,
German silver, Britannia metal, sol
ders, ic. Bronze is an alloy of cop
ptir niid tin. It is used for ttatuea
and othbjr works of art. Guns and
cannon for field $exi& are made of
bronze. Bell metal is a niUiurp of
copper and tin, but contains more tin
than bronze does, it cannot be melt
ed unless brimstone is put (c the fur
nace with tbe metal. Brass is an
alloy composed of coppor and tin.
Ppwter is an alloy of tin and lead.

Sonic interesting experiments bave

so as to determine from which of the
two the larger number of eggs can
be obtained in tbe same time. For
this purpose three hens and three
ducks were selected, and all batched

total number of eggs laid by the
bens amounted to 257, or 86 egga
each, and 393, or 131 each, for tbe

ducks were rather smaller than those
of the hens, yet they proved to be
decidedly superior in nutritive mate

well Novembered are half wintered."
Keep tbe ewes fat and the lambs will
be fat and the fleeces heavy. I do uot
say whether it is better to have the
lambs come r!y or late, but I do
say it is best to have tbem fat; then,
whe:her early or late, they are sale
able. All ewes, that with good
care, will not raise a lamb aud shear
four pounds washed wool, should be
s dd. I have them in my flock that
will shear niue pounds, and raise a
pair of twins, and it costs no more to
keep one than a sheep that will shear
only three pounds. 1 think no one
will hear the man who keeps bis
flock in this way complaining that his
sheep aie "run out" and do not pay,
and tbe like.
Ticks must be kept out of the flock
they are the worst enemy of tbe
sheep. Jf they are not killed they
will destroy the sheep, For killing
them I have never tried aqythiuj
better than strong tobacco juice.
A Stew Fuel.
The proposition to supersede coal
by tbe use of carbonic gas extracted
from chalk has been subjected to a
practical test by its inventor, and
with very satislactory resuus. ex
tracted aud applied to anthracite, it
prodje'a a btroug flame and heat,
and ut a ' alow a rate of combustion
tbat a g Mid fire was maintained for
twenty-uiue hours it) a furnace which
hea.s a churcu witn oniy nny-si
nouuds of antrbacite and an equal
quantity of chalk mixed with it dur
ing tbat time, uunqy tne iusi. s
hours, moreover, the fire was un
touched. Through the aid of this
remarkable property of chalk the
lignite known as shale may be used
for ;be production of an illuminating
gas to an extent which will appear
incredible. Eveu the coarest clay of
this singular formation is full of gas,
and tbe experiments made in Eu:
gland, though imperfect, show that
one ton of this substance, together
with a due proportion of chtk, will
yield as large an amount of gas as
eight tons of ordinary coal. From
these tests the inventor argues that
London ffiJ be warmed and lighted
at a fifty per cent, nbeaper rate; that
tbe smoke, dust and other nuisances
might be abolished; that every good
sized country bouse and every vil
lage might be lighted with gas; and
tbe kitchen fire, with some slight al
teration io tbe grate, might supply
the bouse with light. Finally, lignite
and anthracite beds would become
valuable property, and chalk would
be exported as coal is now, Tbe
English papers say that the prospects
seems almost too good to oe true.
A Yontbfal Tbepln.
A few days ago young Gurley,
whose father "lives on Crogban street,
organized a theatrical company and
purchased the dime novel play of
"Hamlet." The company consists
of three boys and a hostler, and Mr.
Gurley's hired girl was to be the
ghost if tbe troop could guarantee
her fifty eiiU per night.
Young Gurley suddenly Woemed
out 88 professional, and wben bisj
mother ankea Him to Rring jn some
wood be replied:
"Though I am penniless, thou can
not degrade me I"
".You trot out after that wood or
I'll have your father trounce you !"
pte exclainied.
upon me shall die!'' replied the boy,
but be got tbe wood.
Ho was out on tbe step when a
man came along aqd asked him rhere
Lafayette street wag.
"Doomed for a certain time to roam
the earth!" replied Gurley io a hoarse
voice, ani holding his arm out very
straight.
"I say you! Where is Lafayette
street ?" called the man.
"Ah ! cou d the dead but speak
ab!" continued Gurley.
The man drove bim iutotbc bouse,
and his mother sent bim to tbe
grocery after potatoes.
"I go most noble duchess," be
said as he took up tbe basket, "but
my good sword sball some day
avenge tieao insults!"
He knew that the ' gpser favored
tbe atricals, and when lip got (here bji
said ;
"Art thou provided with a store
of tbat vegetable known as tbe 'tater,
most excellent duke?"
"What in thunder do you want 1"
growled tbe grocer, as he cleaned
the cheese knife on a piece of paper.
"Thy plebeian mind is dull of com
prehension!" answered Gurley.
Dont try to get off any of your
nonsense on me, or I'll crack your
empty pate in a minute!" roared the
grdper, and "Hamlet" had to come
down ffom his tiigb horse aud ask
for a peck of potatoes
What made you so Jong " a.-ked
bis mother as be returned.
"Thy grave sball be dug iu the
cypress glade !" he haughtily answer
ed. When bis father came home at
noon Mrs. Gurley told bim tbat she
believed tbe boy was going crazy,
and related what had occurred.
'.' gee what ails bim," mused the
father ( ''ibis Pjp'ins why be hangs
around Jonson V 'uru s 1 u;j;cb."
At tbe dinner table young Gurley
spoke of his father as the "illustrious
count," and when his mother asked
him if be would have some butter
gravy he answered :
"Tbe r ppvtite of tbe warrior can
not be satisGed with such nonsense."
IVhtn jhp meal was over the father
went oul io Lit uyofit,) fjjacje tree,
cut a sprout, aud tne boy was asked
to step to the woodshed and fee if
the pumpstock was frozen up. He
found the old man tbere, a'ud he said.
"Why, most noble lord, I bad sup
posed tbee far away."
I'm not so far away but what I'm
going to make you skip," growled
te father. I'll teach you to fool
around with Uo (root tragedies ! Come
up here !"
For about five minutes Ube wood
shed was lull of dancing feet, flying
arms and nioving bodies, and then
the old man took a rest and inquired:.
"There, your highness, dost want
any more?"
-"0b J no, dad, not a darned bit!"
w&iied the youdg "niasager," and
while tbe father started for down
town he went in fnd sorrowfully in
formed lie hired rirl that he must
cancel her engagement until the fall
