TrofoRRor Gunnmri, of tho Univer
sity of Finn, is of tlic sumo opinion ns
that puMishoil liy liim in 1811 i, viz.,
that tho process of post illation, both
of cowpox nml smnllpoK, is originated
by a parasite wliieh develops in tho
epithelial colls. Ho lias studied both
tho morphology nml biology of this
rgnuisui. It is cnpnldo of nmiebio
Movements, which can be scon on ex
amiiintion of lymph tiikou from tho
initial vesielo nt tho temperature of
tho human body. By this process
Professor Guamnri has also verified
thu multiplication of the parasite un
der tho microscope, and the fact of
phagocytosis by polynucleatod, leu
cocytes. 'With n stain of gentian and
methylene, tho structure of this low
organism may lie studied. It consists
of a roundish body with a clear out
line. Professor Guamuri has suc
ceeded in reproducing the parasite in
the cornea of rabbits with inoculation
of the sii mo lymph, and he has verified
tho fact that no other source of irrita
tion is capnblo of producing anything
of the appearance of the same parasite
in the cornea. Frofessor Guamuri be
lieves that it is a zooparasite belong
ing to the class of rhizopode, and that
it is the cause of both cowpox and
smallpox.
Why a Wile Changes Her Samp.
It is said that tho practice of the
wife's assuming the husband's name
at marriage originated from a Roman
custom, and became the common prac
tice after the lioman occupation.
Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the lxoniaus Julia of Poinpey, and
Octavia of Cicro, and in later times
married women in most European
countries signed their names in the
Banie manner, but otumitted the "of."
Afraiust this view may be mentioned
that during the sixteeuth and even the
beginning of seventeenth century tho
usage seems doubtful, since wo see
Katherine Tarr so signing herself after
sho hnd been twice married, and wo
always hear of La.ly Jane Grey (not
Dudley) uud Arabella Stuart (not
Seymour). Some persons think that
the custom originated from the Scrip
tural teaching thnt husband and wife
are one. It was decided in the case of
Bon vs. Smith, in the reign of Eliza
beth, that a woman by marriage lotes
her former name and legally receives
that of her Luabnud. jew lork Tele

Those who have trees which have
been set olio or two seasons will do
well to bear in mind the importance of
staking them so that they will resist
the influence of the most frequently
prevailing or heaviest winds. Those
which have been set two years need it
as much as those which were put out
last spring, ns they are likely to pre
sent as much surface to the wind as
they have roots in tho earth. Put
down a stout stake a few feet from the
trunk, and theu put ou a withe or a
strip of cloth, bindiug the tree to the
stake in tho form of a figure 8, so that
the crossing of the band will prevent
auy chafing of tho tree-trunk against
the stake. In this way can bo pre

r-T.t'B SOOT OK CABBAGE.
The club root of cabbage and the
several plants of the cabbage family
is a well known and dreaded disease
among Eastern farmers and gardeners.
But, while more prevalent in the East
ern portion of the country, it is also
known in the West audSouth, causing
often heavy losses.
A bulletin issued from the Xew
Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station gives in deta.l the results of
experiments and investigations made
on the station grounds and elsewhere,
with a view to assisting farmers ia
fighting the club root. Mauy of the
facts contained iu this bulletin are of
general interest to the cultivators of
cabbage, turnips, kale, etc.
Briefly stated, the malady is due to
a microscopic parasite which infests
the cells of the roots, causing them to
become swollen a d distorted. The
spores of the fungus, apou the decay
of the part affected, becoaie scat
tered through the soil, and from
thence tha enemy enters the host
plant. The club root infests several
plants of the cabbage family, includ
ing turnip, kale, raduh, stock and
candytuft. Two common weeds
namely, shepherd's purse and hedge
mnttard are now to be added to the
list of plants iufusteJ with club root
Preventive measures must be relied
upon, for the affected parts of a plant
are below g-ouurt ana not readily
r.aehed by auy fungicide. If the
crop is diseased all refase at harvest
time of roots, stems and leaves should
be burned. All Bcediugs from hot
beds with signs of club root should de
stroyed, a-d, if possible.useouly plants
from beds in w tiicu there is no disease
Cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts,
kohlrabi, turnips or radishes should
not iouow eacn other ou the same
laud if club rort ia prevalent. Lime
added to the laud, seventy-five bushels
per acre, has proved effective. It is
possible that some commercial
fertilizers may be found to check the
trouble. Ktep the land free from

HOO FKKUINd.
No one knows all there is to know
in pig feeding. Professor Roberts
says he used Ui feed tiO') heal per
year, ami got to be a close observer
Us says that pur food and cleauli
us ar eMabtul te til best suooesa,
and that in feeding hogs tho man who
feeds them will succeed with them.
In spite of the general opinion to
tho contrary, some maintain that the
hog has a preference for being clean,
and cite many instances of his keep
ing one side of his pen cleau if at all
encouraged or started with it clean,
etc. Here is one mau's idea in regard
to a clean pen and pure food : Every
farmer with 100 acres ought to feed
from twenty to 100 lyigs. The com
mon way of constructing the floors
of tho pens is unsuitable. If they
slope backward from the trough they
will be kept wet. That mcaus sickly
hogs that do not thrive well. I pre
fer to make the floors slant toward tho
trough. Twice the profit can bo mado
when tho Bnimals lie dry all the while,
aud besides that their health is much
better. Then the feeding trough
should have its holding capacity in
length and not in depth. It pays to
have them fed with good, clean feed,
which means the difference between
profit and loss. They will take tho
waste from the table. It does not do,
as is usually the case, to have it put
into a tub or barrel whnh is never
cleaned. That becomes poison. It
ferments and sours aud makes bad
blood. With the sow and'yonng pigs
taking it, the couseqnenco is they die
before ten days old, and even little
pigs have tho right to be well born.
Hogs fed on clean food should gain at
least one pound for every four and a
half pounds of graiu used ; a man can
tell whether it is paying to keep them
or put his labor to other sources of
profit. If auy man feeds his hogs too
long it costs more than he can mako
out of them. Western Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDES NOTES.
Bo kind to the colls and yon will
have gentle horses.
There is no fruit that can be grown
as readily as the grape.
Big horns aud a fleshy udder are ro
garded as bad points in a milch cow.
A sick cow should bo put by herself
at onco and covered with a warm blan
ket. Standard-bred trotters that can't trot
are poor property for any breeder to
stock up with.
Care and feed are just as important
factors as pedigree in raising trotting
stock at a profit.
It is a pretty well established fact
that a profitable butter cow is a prof
itable cheese cow.
The poultry keeper who does not
furnish a dust bath deprives his
chickens of a necessity.
The financial success of brooding the
trotter depends upon the financial
prosperity of trotting sport.
Much of the failure of seeds to ger
minate in the spring is due to tho fact
that they are planted too deep.
When hens or hogs get wreak in the
legs it is often a sign that they have
been fed two much corn and cornuieal.
A farmer wants to know how much
alsike to sow to the acre. Ten pounds
of seed would be a great sufficiency on
good laud.
If the hen house is overcrowded
there will bj trouble. Disease will
almost surely appear and the bona
will not lay.
Tie up the horses' tails whenever it is
muddy, but don't leave them tied up
over night. It injures their appear
ance to say the least.
There is not very much diflerenco
iu the cost of feeding a cow that makes
150 pounds of butter iu ono year and
one making double as much.
Study the horse's foot and the
proper methods of shoeing. It will
then be possible for you to know if
your olacksmith knows his busiuoss.
Currants should have a space jf
four feet, and gooseberries the same,
and be kept trimmed and cultivated.
Cut out old wood when it becomos un
thrifty. The sugar beet is valuable as a food
for fowls. Served raw through the
summer it answers to the purpose of
green food when other vegetables are
scarce.
Crude petroleum is better than
kerosene, comet cheaper, and if often
applied to your hen roost.i and heu
houses will soou destroy ail rats,
mites, etc.
Efforts to introduce corn into Ger
many as cattle feed have failed so far,
as a strong prejudice against it exists,
and all sorts of stories to its detriment
are in circulation.
Pounding a cow with a stool or club
does not force a greater quantity of
milk from hor. Neither will yelling.
screaming and cursing add to either
milk or good temper.
If fruit trees are sufficiently ma
tured and yet do not bear well, it will
be found a good plau to sttr the sou
thoroughly an 1 apply a good dressing
of well rotted miuurd.
The appearauca of the animals on a
farm tells a good deal about the owner
and his tastes. Thin cows with prom
inent ribs in winter or spring are not
much of a recommeiidatiou.
Whole wheat is better forfowlsthau
corn, it tlocs not make them so fat,
ana, considering the number ol eggs
which cau be procured by using it, is
altogether a more ecouomical food. "
Turkeys will come hoiue t roost if
fed regularly iu the eveuiug. Grain
may be fed entirely, but if mixed with
bread crumbs and scraps from tho
table tho birds will like it much bet

animal so as to secure size before at
tempting to fatten it. Fat is an in
cumbrance to growing animals. When
they reach maturity is the time to fat
ten them.

"Blessed is the plant lover that can

Hewing machine, exclaims Anna Lyman
in the Now York Independent. Mino
was gathering dust and cobwebs in
the garret, when the happy thought
suggested itself to make it into ft
plant stand. The top works aud largo
wheel underneath were soon taken
away, and here was a strong, pretty
looking table on iron legs with cas
ters, tho last being invaluable ou zero
nights to wheel my establishment
nearer tho stove, A box was made,
nix inches high and somewhat larger
than the stand. This was half filled
with sand. Hero I learned a florist's
secret. You notice they put thoir pots
ou sand or soft earth aud not on a
dry Bhelf or table, as wo amateurs
generally do. So my geraniums and
other plants were put down on tho
sand, and the air was kept moist, as
plants like to have it. Tradescanti
was stuck in around tho pots, making
a shaded carpet. Tho old fashioned
green Virginia creepsr has gone out,
and lovely oolorod leaves take its
place striped, silvered, pink, white,
gray, bright as flowers. My stand was
h grand success all winter, and I hope
to get h-ld of another old sewing ma
chine to mako a fernery for my north
window. In the summer it will be
moved to the piazza, and I can hive a
geranium in bloom, or some other pot
plant, and it will be a grand plaoe for
the chrysauthemums later. If I want
stands or vases for my plants, I am
pretty sure to find some discarded
thing iu garret or cellar that answers
the purpose.
Hard Gingerbread One cupful o!
sngsr, one of butter, one-third of a
cupful of molasses, half n cupful of
sour milk or cream, one teaspoonful
of saleratus, one tablcspoonful of
ginger, flour enough to roll. Roll
thin, cut iu oblong pieces and bake
quickly. Care must be taken that too
lunch flour is not mixed in with the
dough. All kinds of cakes that Are
rolled should have no more flour than
is absolutely necessary to work thorn.
Cheese Fingers Take ouo-quarter
of a pouud of puff paste and roll it out
thin ; then take two ounces of Parme
san cheese, half a teaspoonful of
cayenne and a pint of salt. Mix those
and sprinkle the cheese over half tho
paste, turn the other hlf over it and
cut it with a sharp knife half an inch
wide and any length you please. Bake
iu a quick oven and serve hot, shaking
a little grated cheese over thorn. Thu

the minced chicken and fry in a well

Moaos Thatcher, a notoil anil ex
ceedingly wealthy Mormon loader,
lias returned to San Francisco from
an exploring trip in Mexico.
KeferriuK to a tract of country in
the Sierra Mailre Mountain district of
the State of Chihuahua, where a
Mormon colony has recently been
established, Mr. Thatcher said:
"In a radius of 100 miles there is
enough masonry to build two cities
tho size of Wan Fraucisco, and this
tells the talo f a great civilization
that once flourished there. Near by
I purchased a tract of land. On part
of this land I discovered about half a
dostcn eaves. Tho entrances were
walled tip with cement two and a half
feet thick, with only port holes and a
narrow aperture left sufficiently wide
to allow one ierv)ii to enter. These
caves were provided with ollas, in
which water and provisions were
stored, and wero formed of long saca
tiou grass, mixed with cement, nnd
were usually about twelve foet high
and eight or niuo feet iu width. Ouo
was in perfect preservation.
"The caves wero divided into apart
ments, nnd ono of them contained
seventeen rooms. Upon the walls aro
still fresh character writings of the
ancient inhabitants, of the same class
as described in tho 'Mexican Antiqui
ties' by Lord Kingsbury. Tho caves
on the land referred to will accommo
date fully 1000 persons, and a cele
brated Belgian scientist not long ago
found more relics in them than ho had
in a search of 150 miles elsewhere."

Clinntlelier of Human Honrs,
In tho centre of the arched roof of
All Saints Church, Sedlitz, iu Bo
hemia, hangs a chandelier constructed
entirely of human bones. The church
in w hich this remarkable object is sus
pended is decorated from the floor to
the ceiling with the blanched bones of
human bodies. Garlands of bones
stretch across the walls aud hang from
the oeiling. Pyramids, topped w ith
golden crowns, are artistically reared
from the ground with these whitened
remains of the dead. Tho altars are
literally covered with skulls, among
which are hundreds of those which
had been pierced by bullets or crushed
by murderous blows from swords and
other weapoes, denoting that theso
grim relics of humanity have been
gatlfered from adjacent battlefields.
Tradition says that these piles of hu
man bones were gut here J by a blind
friar of the Cistercian Order, who
stored them in a corner of the church.
As they were fast chaugiug in to their
origiual elements, a man named Hint
devoted himself to tho task of cleaning
and arranging them in tho church.
I'rinoe Carl, of Schwarzenberg, took
a strong personal iuterest iu the ma
turation and arrangement of tho
church, ami ordered all the repairs to
be dono at his own expense. Now

A Taxidermist's RptcIMIoub.
Tho Tall Mall Oazet-tc, in nn inter

curious facts about raro birds and
their eggs. "Of course," said tho
grent taxidermist, "you know I have
