KEW TALKING-MACHINES. BOMH T"r09 FPISOWS IPHONO ORAFH W ILL ACCOMPLISH. A PoU!e Newapnprr of I lie Future Phonograph In Court A Boon , to Musician. ' As a snvintf in the time given up to writing, the phonograph promises to far outstrip the typewriter. The business man rftn dictate to the phonograph as fast as ho can talk, and the wax cylinder, Inclosed in a suitable box, can be sent oil by mail to read out Its message per haps thousands of miles away. Or else, as is now done in Mr. Edison's labora tory in Orango, N. J., the typewriter girl can print out upon paper what her employer has dictated to the phonoaraph. Kor the reportor, the editor and the author tfho can dictate, a devico has been adapted to the phonograph which causes it to stop its message at every tenth word, and to continuo only whan a spring is touched. Thus, the editor can dictate his article to tho phonograph as he does now to his stenographer, and when the printer on the case gets the re sulting phonogram tho instrument will dictate to him in short sentences. If ho cannot sot up the sentenco at ono hear ing, it will repeat its ten words. If he is satisfbd, it rings out ten words more. I really see no reason why the newspa per of the future should not come to tho subscriber in tlio sh.ipo of a phonogram. It would have to begin, however, with a t.iblo of contents, in order that one might not have to listen to a two hours' speech upon tho taritl question in order to get at ten lines of a musical notice. Hut think what a musical critic might be able to do for hU public! lie might give them whole arius from an opera or movements from a symphony, by way of proof or illustration. The very tones of an aetor's or singer's voice might be re produced in the morning notice of last night's important dramatic or musbnl event. It hns been remarked, by the way, that business letters and orders by phonograph wouid not be so binding as when put in blnck and whi:o upon paper. A little wax cylinder covered with microscopic dots would not lo con sidered as goud evidence in court. But if the speaker's voice, inflection, accent, were so reproduced that witnesses could swear to the personality, would it not sullico? Ilow could tacre be ar.y dis pute over a man's will, when the voice ol the dead man was heard i In music, as 1 have already said, tho valuo of tho phonograph even in its present condition is indisputable. Musi cians arc divided, and probably always will be, as to tho manner in which cer tain famous symphonies ought to be conducted. The nietronon-.o marks used by Beethoven are but uncertain guides at best, while no written directions as to dynamic values, expression, etc., are worth much. The phonograph will at least make it possible for the musician of the future to know exactly how our coinDosers wished their music given, for it wtll repeat that music as played to day, witn every shade of expression, with nil Its infinite changes of time. Moreover, the phonograph will offer to the composer that long sought instru ment, an nutoniatic recorder of improvi sation upon tho piuno or other instru ment. In tho far-off future, when our descendants wish to compare our simple little Wngner operas with the complex productions of their own days, requiring, perhaps, a doen orchestras playing in ha f a dozen different keys at once, they will have an accurate phonographic rec ord of our harmonic simplicity. At present but few of the new pho nographs have been finished, and those only tor exhibition purposes. A hen then will bo otTercd for sale seems to bo doubtful; probably within a few months. Mr. liuison says that by the beginning of 18H0 the phonograph will be far les of a curiosity than the telephone is now, and that he could begiu selling the in struments at once if he were fully satis fied with them. There is always some thing which needs improveing. Just at present there is needed a tunnel for to magnifying the sound that if the instru ments is placed in the center of a table all the persons sitting around can hear its reading or its music. 1'or the last year it has been the same s'.ory the phonographs will bo ready for sale next jmsotkrr x t was so a year ago, and it may ' be so a year from now. But these many delays, which have mnde people rather skeptical as to the doings of the phono trraph.do no make the wonders ach'eved less wonderful, or warrant any doubts as to the vast possibilities which the little device contains. Atlantic Monthly. Gambling Nevada Miners. The C'omstock lode disburses a quar ter of a million in coin monthly among the miners of Yirglbia Cit., Nevada, 'iiia questiou is otien asked: ''Where ill es the money go.'" The largest por t.ou goes to the proprietors cf the gamb ling dens with which every mining city is a i'icted. Tho expenses at the .Magno lia last year were '4?,tiu I. Two luro games and one percentage pokor game mo ruu on the premises. A lirm of three partners, who employ five dealers at a salary of .'M a day in operating the faro games, run the establishment, but they are wise men and at no time does the capital invested exceed fl.iOiMi. They employ two "case keepers" and a gin peddler, each receiving $5 per day, and the members of the firm draw ifio each per day from the account. Two dealers, who receive f i each per day for their services, run the percentage poker game, making a total of $'12.50 disbursed daily in salaries. Incidental expenses send the bill per day to f 100. Kstimating the profits at ifoO.000 it will be seen that the tvtiil.lbhment absorbs about J 100,000 yearly from the miners' hard earned coin. The other plucrs do au cptaily thriv ing business, aud, therefore, it may bo stated, without fear of dcuiui. Unit if;l00, 000 of the miners' money are raked in yearly over the gamblers' tables. There are also a number ot private games ''rousting" the town, und this fact accouuts for $',o,CO mire. The total expenses of feeding and clothing the men decently amount to , l.,i:,uu.i. The saloons and cigar Hons get pioba bly $(J,0Uoa month, or -;l o,ooiayiar. The banks catch about f jilOO per day, or $1.0,000 a year, sending the amount up to ,o,ooo. While probably 1 20,00' i is la d away yearly for a rainy day thiouub the medium of the banks, there is no know ing how much is stored in mattresses, old stocking, otc, but ii is known that some of the miners buy stock in various miues, for the speculative b er is strong. -V io r .Sun. An Alllffator in a Tree. John Wilsuu, living near Alitor, Fla., cut a bi' cyiiiess tree iu the swamp north of towu, an J found thert-iu a live alli gator seven feet long.

FARM AND GARDEN. Three-Horse Evener. It is contrary to all laws of dynamics that three horses can be attached abreast to a plow so that tho off horse may walk in the furrow and two upon the lam and yet draw tho plow without any side draft, t orces always act in equilibrium, and when three horses pull abreast the line of draft comes in tho centre of the nMddle horse's whllllctreo, and no ar rangement of clevises or whittletrccs or evener or offset in tho plow beam can alter the primary law of forces. It is quite as ey in practice to drive thine horses with one leader as to drive tnrce abreast, and it is quito as easy to turn and in this way there is no necessity for a corns to walk on the plowed lana. York Timet. Ferdlnir Pics. Professor Hunt, of Illinois College larm, sums up as follows too results ol his pig feeding experiments: I. It required l'.SO pounds of skiirt milk to produce ono pound of pork when fed with corniucal in ratio 1.17 to fatten ing hog). kimmillc could not be economi cally fed to fattening hogs unless it was a waste product which could not Li otherwise utilized. ft. It required on an average 1 1 poundi of shelled com to produce one pound ol pork during an average period of foul weeks, or ono bushel produced 111) pounds. 4. It required 4 J pounds of corn meal to produce one pound of pork, ot oue bushel of coin made into meal and fed dry produced 2 J pounds of pork. o. .When fed dry shellei corn is mori economical thau corn meal to feed ta fattening hogs. ii. It required pounds or bushel of ground oats to produce one pound ol pork when fed with equat parts by weight of corn meal. 7. One bushel of corn is worth nearly three bushels of oats as food for fatten ing hogs. f. ( orn fed pigs gained about 4 pounds per week and ate about twenty one pounds of corn per 100 pounds ol live weight. t). The grain for I ho amount of food consumed decreased during fattening. 10. I'ork was produced diirins; the cuhi weather, with corn at twenty eight centi a bushel, for less than three cents per pound. I I. An insufficient food supply for two weeks caused n very considerable loss in feeding thereafter. 1?. Indian corn is the most economical pork producer during the wintei months in regions where extensively grown. Curing Meats. The late Wm. Utile several years ago gave the following methods for curing meat aud building a cheap smokehouse. As "hog killing"'season is at hand we reproduce thim for the benefit of out new subscribers. Wo would bo pleased to have others give their methods of cur ing meat and plans for building smok houses : lo each hog packed add to the salt one-fourth pouud ground black pepper, two ounces red cayenne pepper and one half ounce saltpeter. Spread the salt on a tight floor or table, sprinkle the black and red pepper aud saltnotor over it aud mix thoroughly. Salt the pork on tho floor in the smokehouse, so that the brine will run away from it. Sprinkle enough salt on the floor to hide it well, and salt the hams and shoulders to them selves and the sides to themselves, let the meat lie in salt four or five weeks, bang up and build a little tire a blazo is best under the bacon to dry it oil. The pepper gives the bacon a tine flavor, and repels the fly. It is a good plan to slip the joints hams and shoul dersin sacks, paper or cotton, early in the spring. This method for making fine bacon is good for all parts of the country, north and south, and simple as it is, it is worth thousands of dollars to the people of Texas alone, if they will only adopt it. Now for the smokehouse. For tho averago farmer a house 1J by 14 feet and 10 feet high, is large enough. Build a common box house, lay a floor IS to St inches above ground, with a square-edged plank: strip the cracks insido and out, so as to exclude light; put stiff cross timbers i) or 4 feet apart on p'otes above, and drive tenpeuny fecce nails on each side to hang meat on, and the thing is done. All rough lumber. Tecan Farm and Iianc'i. Stock in Open Winters. It appears to be a matcor of gratula tion among farmers that the winter is so mild that stock will shift for themselves, at least partially, and th::s affect a great saving of fodder. The mild winter, we confess, is a cause for general congratu lation, not only among farmers but among all classes, as it undoubtedly affects a great saving of fuel aud of food for man and beast and is less trying to the physical system. Man and anp tuals are more nearly in harmony with their environments with the ther mometer ranging from 20 decrees ta 40 degrees above than when theie are sudden fluctuations from 40 degrees above to 20 degrees below zero. It il pretty diilieult adjusting food, clothing and artificial heat so as to prevent n shock or injury to tho physical and uervous systems during such violent fluctuations. But there is great danger of stock suffering from neglect iu a mild, open winter. From the fact that they can partially help themselves in such a wintei may lead 8 good many to give less uticn tion to feeding, sheltering aud caring for them than is demanded to promote their welfare. They have not so hearty an appetite for course feed as they ha when the uir is sharp aud the microbe! are stiffened by tho cold. Hence, they need a littlo more pampering, a littli more preparation of appetizing food. Our observation has taught us that stock seldom do well in a mild open winter as in a pretty steadily cold one. Too many farmers practice the doubtfj economy of getting through the wintei I with as little feed as possible instead of the true one of feeding stock all tin food they ruu possibly eut, digest, its similute and convert into energy, meat, milk, wool, eg','8, et ., without detri ment to their health. If stock foi d ii more valuable in its crude state than when manufactured into nuiuiuN ami their products', why not sell it iu thai form and dispcto of your stuck for what they will bring, but if the vuluo of the feed is euhnu ed by convening il intc auimuls and animal proriucis, theu thu inoie you can thus convert the better. It is one of the most foolish, unreason able practices ever leaorted to by farm eis to allow their stock to become spring poor. It is almost impossible to inuki uny money out of stock by such meth ods. Better borrow money if necessarj uui buy feed to Keep your aimuili thriving all winter than to allow theu) to i-hriuk in 1 csh, iuu down iu winter, under the mistiieu notion that they will lecover lost grounds wheu they an turned out to treh pasture,---lnrr': Hxirnl ll'iine.

II, 15. The wicked worketh a deceitful work; but to him that sowotli righteousness shall be a true reward. Rev. 11, W. Coft'eo Houses. It is a principal in algebra that vou cannot eliminate a quantity from nil equation with out putting soim'tliing i-xactly c pial in its plut-o; this is also a pt-im-ip.i) in human nature. The neliH-t ol it has led to the fail ure of many ntu-mptoil reforms, nA will lend to the failure of ninny more. We are Rind to sea that our enterprising religious eonteinKiiary, the New York "-fert-fr, recognizes this principle, ami advo cates tho establishment ot something lo tHko the place of tho s.il.-on as it social center, ns well ns the abolition, so far as Hint is possi ble, of tho saloon itself. 'the saloon, in nuuroolitan life or in any city or even village lile. for that matteris luoi-e than a plnce where men pnnmr to de praved ap etites. It sat. sties not only thirst lor liquor, but thirst for human companion ship. It is the poor man s chili. Jt wh ni-o to nboiish the saloon, we must put snini-lliiiie; in p!a"e of it. If a substitute ciui bo found that will otter nil the social attractions ol the saloon and All it.s ci-e.itut-e comforts, without the intoxicating Ii iior, then tlui chance of abolishing tho sal. on is largely increased. 1 he only thing that ever hns succeeded in taking; the place of the saloon so lai- is thu ooll'eo house or cocoa room. Jn l.iverpiKil there are now sixty-one of the the-e colli e houses paying nn average yearly dividend of ton per cent on the c.ipital investe.l, anil In tho w hole of England mere are more than two hundred. Such houses have, to a small extent, been estxtiiished in this country; but they have generally ta) n run, not as n business, but as a philanthropic enterprise or ehantv. They 'are not likely to succeed on a charitable basis. Mm nresliyof eharilableor avowedly philanthropic institutions of this kind. They prefer to fe;-l that they are giving value re ceived for that they j;ct Furthertnor,there are apt to lie too mniiy restrictions in a char itable coll'ee house. Iu many of them men cannot smoke, or talk nlnive a whisper. They cannot play games other than checkers. Su.-h plncvs are not attractive, and will never supplant the saloons, t 'olVee houses, without pandering at all to really vi-'ious t .stes, should be made as attractive as pjssihl.'.wiih as few restrictions as possible. Says the ud-erci-.- " 1 he rum power is being weakened every day by the Attacks mndo on it from the ground of pohte-s, of morals, un-l of religion.

Stiv York Mail ami A'.rres.-.-. No Place for Saloons. The saloons in Van ert, Ohio, are closed, ami drinks can not be had for love or money. There is no excitement in town, but the county is aroused, and uheady petitions are in circulation to submit saloon closing to a vote in nt least three townships, and more are coming. 1 here is, however, great excite ment in t nion Township, where a saloon has been driven out and tho building torn down. K. t'. Arnold, who went out of busines in Van Wert on account of the dry ordinance, attempted to remove his saloon to Cjvette, a stitiou six miles north of there, on the Ma-kmaw Railroad. Ha bought a building and the other morning hauled two wagon loals of goods and fix tures to his n--w location, where upon his arrival ho met a w.inn reception. The country people, old and young, rich and potir, joined the villagers the night before and tore down tho house. The sills were chojipj 1 into lire woo 1. A person bo was fires.'iit s ivs there was not enough left of the luil.iiug to make a bee hive. When Arnold arrived there was a-sem ile I a crowd esti mated at two huu ired, most of them armed with axes, while the lender swung a rOie. Arnold and his men were given five minutes to leave town, and they obeyed the com mand, the women encouraging the men by waving handkerchiefs and cheering, and the entire concourse escorted the wagons three miles to tiie township line, w here they were given a parting cheer and were warned to never return.

Can you tell the age of a Horse by its teeth ? These and hundreds of other points are given in our 25c.l00-Page Illustrated Horse Book.
