A few years ago runny repntable phyeioians ianght and believed that there was no such disease as hydro phobia, and that the bite of a mad dog was not fatal to human beings, except as their imaginations were excited to a fatal strain on their nervous systems.

The Arabs give themselves to it with a real passion. Mounted on their fine little horses they try as much as possiblo to fatigue tbe ostrich, for as it is eight feet high and has very strong legs it possesses a quickness of movement which tbfe best horse cannot attain. It has great endurance. Overtaken by the hunter, it seeks to defend itself with its feet and wings, but more of ten it still strives to escape by flight, uttering a plaintive cry. In fact, the ostrich is deprived of tbe power of flight by reason of its great size. The muscular force with which nature hav endowed it is not equai to lifting such a weight. It peouliar organization has made it the courier of the desert, where it is able to quickly traverse the almost limitless expanse. The Arab knows very well that it is the habit of the ostrich to make great de tours about its nest in a circle. He chases it then without ceasing until it is almost there, when, worn out, it succumbs, concealing its head in the sand in order not to see its enemy, or instinctively hoping to eeoape a dan ger which it cannot see any more. This chase requires eight or ten hours, but it offers large rewards. The plumes are worth a considerable sum, the skin makes good leather and the Arabs are very fond of the flesh. Besides, in spite of the fact that it re produces its species rapidly, the os trich is all the time becoming rarer, and it is hunted for export and do mestication in other countries. It is one of Africa's great resources and may become a new source of prosper ity to Algerians if they are willing to make the effort. The truth of the saying, "the stomach of an ostrich," has been confirmed recently by an autopsy on ono, doubtless for a time captive, when the following was found in its stomach : A paraeol handle, two keys, two great pieces of coal, a glove, a handkerchief, a pair of eyeglasses, a ring, a comb, three large rocks, the necks of two beer bottles, the sole of a shoe, a bell and a little harmonica. Fans Univers Illubtre. A Clock of Bread Crumbs. There exists at Milan, Italy, a clock made of bread crumbs. It was made 150 years ago by a man who bad not the meats to buy the metal necessary for tbe construction of the works. This workman hit upon the ingenious idea of taking his bread crumbs from day to (lay and eolidifyiog them by means of a strong addition of salts. Thus he managed to obtain a very hard matter, which could not be dis solved in water, with which he con structed the clock in question, which is of one the curiosities of the capital of Lombardy. RfTtSOII.tNO. Bnbsoiling is sometimes beneficial, and sometimes useless, and may be in jurious. Spring subsoi'ing is not to be recommended. Whenever there is a dry, hard subsoil, it will pay to loosen it up. Whenever there is a sub soil inolined to run together and be come compacted, deep and thorough loosening is just what is required. In porous, gravelly anbsoils tho proeoss is useless and oltcn injurious. Sub soil plowing (foes not produce mois ture; it simply puts tho ground in good condition to receive and retain moisture from prcoipitation. The ca pacity of a porous soil to retain mois ture is well illustrated by this bit ot experience: Early last spring the writer had several loads of coarse sand and gravel hauled and deposited in piles of about ono cubie yard eaoh. This was removed about the end ot the protracted drouth. Six inches below the surface it was wet enough for any purpose of plant growth. About the same time post holes dug in the black, still soil soar by showed it to bo ap parently perfectly dry as deep as the augur went, eighteen inches to two feet. Subsoiling should never be done when the soil is very wet, for this leaves the ground iua worse condition than before. Subsoiling should be done in fall or winter, so that repeated rains may settle it and fill it to satur ation. After this a shallow stirringof the surface will retain the moisture, with but little subsequent rain. Texas Farm and Ranch. DEEP PliOWINO. A friend asks if it is any benefit to plow run-down land deeply that has only been skimmed over before. Well, 1 cannot answer positively -in your case. Wo have been bringing up a farm that was run down and never had been plowed deeply, and we know that a gradual deepening of tho soil, by plowing a little deeper each time we break up a sod, has been of great benefit to ns. I believe that gener ally this will be true. We exposo more soil to the action of frost nnd air and sun. Wo get more loosened up so we can pnlverizo it and stir it around. Thus we liberate more plant food, or make it available for our crops. But now, there are exceptions to this rule. So test the matter carefully for your self. Increase depth of plowing very gradually. The probabilities are tiiat yon will see results that will cause yon to keep on. Your soil and subsoil has considerable of olay in it, as has nearly all of ours. On light, sandy land it would be different, ot course. It will help "level land" to tile drain it, where water has to evaporate from the surface, where there is not natural undcrdrainage, so it can readily soak down, and the same of rolling land, too. "Why were yon bo afraid of rain after sowing your wheat? I should think it needed rain to start the seed. Is it best to make soil so fine?" It certainly ii best for the young plants to make a fine, firm seed bed. It cannot be made too fine and firm for the good of the wheat. Tbe plants cannot start and grow as well in roughly prepared ground. The little roots cannot get food as well. I was not afraid of rain, but of heavy rain that would pack iindrun together this dastlike soil, and wash much down the hillside on our rolling land. I hove had every bit of wheat, along with the soil, taken right out of the drill rows on a hillside bv a heavy rain after drilling. There would not be so much risk on roughly prepared land. But that is not as good for the wheat. So we make it fine and take the risk. Now don't yon see? T. B. Terry, in Practical Farmer. WITAT TO FEED HENS. Green bones are not used as exten sively as they should be, because grain can be obtained with less difficulty andat low cost ; but as egg-produoing material, the bone is fur superior to grain nor does the bone really cost more than grain iu some sections. The cutting of the bone into available sizes is now rendered ao easy matter, as tne bone cutter is within the reach of all. -Bones fresh from the butcher have more or less meat adhering, and the more of such meat the better, as it will cost no more per pound than the bone, while the combination of both meat and bono is almost a pur feot food from which to produce e?gs. If tne farmer cau get two extra eggs per week from each hen in winter, he will make a large profit. We may add that if the product of each heu can be increased one egg per week only iu winter, that one egg will pay for all the food she can possibly consume, and it therefore pays to feed the sub stances that will induce the hens to lay. If the hens are consuming food, and yet are produoing no eggs, they will cause a loss to tbeir owner ; and this happens every winter on a large number of farmi. The hens receive plenty of food, but not of the proper kind. A pound of cut green bone is suf ficient for sixteen hens one day, which means that one cent will pay for that number of fowls. If one quart of grain be fed at night to sixteen hens, and one pound of bone in tbe morn ing, it should be ample, fnr each day (and the majority of fanciers do) we find in winter. In summer only the bone need be given. Such a diet provides fat, starch, nitrogen, phos phates, lime, and all the substances required to enuble the bens to lay eggs. As an egg is worth about three cents in winter, it is plain fiut it is cheaper to feed boue than grain, as the greater number of eggs not only reduces the total cost, but increases the profits as well. The bono cutter is as necessary to the poultrymau as his feed mill. It enables him to use an excellent and cheap food, and gives him a profit where he might otherwise be com pelled to suQer a loss. It is claimed that tlio boue cutter pays for itself iu eggs, aud really costs uotbiug. Bones are now one of tbe staple articles of food fur poultry, aud uo rations should have thew fiaitteJ. Ihey are food, grit and lime, all combined in oue, and the hens will leave all other foods to receive the cut bone. If cut fine, even chicks and ducklings will relish suoh excellent food, while turkeys will grow rapidly on it. To moot with suc cess requires tho use of tho best ma terials, anrt green bone bents all other substaucca as food for poultry. There is quite a difference between the green, fresh bone, rioh in its juices as it comes from tho butchers, and the hard, dry bono which has lost its sno cnlenco. The value of all foods de pends largely upon their digestibility, and the more this is provided for the greater tho saving ot food and the nioro economical the production of eggs. roultry Keeper. TTtF.B FAinnm The importance of tree farming ia the lands which, either from laok of food material in them or from loca tion, ns on steep hillsides, are fit for nothing else, and the money to be made iu it, is being quietly proved in hundreds of localities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. People find no difficulty in understanding where the money is in it. But that other reason for tree planting, namely, to prevent the loss of fertility and the loss of moisture, is rarely appreciated even by those whose farms are washed away by every driviug rain. The bulletin from the Department at Washington upon "Washed Soils" says the forest covering protects the soil in tho following ways: (a) By preventing rain from falling directly upon the soil, the foliage of the tree crowns intercepting and breaking its force, the water reaching the soil more gently from the leaves along the branohes and trunks of tin trees. (b) By interposing a loose cover, a mulch of litter, formed by the fall on branches and leaves, which breaks the direct forco of the raindrops, and keeps the soil from being compacted or puddled by their blows. (o) The deeply penetrating roott and holes left from decayed stumpi and roots of trees assist in this under ground drainage. (d) Tho litter with the stumps and protecting roots and trunks of treei prevents tho water from rapidly run ning over the ground and from gaining the momentum and forco which ii necessary in order to gully the soil, aud prevents the drifting and the rapid thawing of snow, thereby insuring more even distribution of the waters. and increases the time during which it oon be absorbed into the soil. Wherever the ground iu hilly coun try is not fit for agricultural use it should be kept and set as forest, not only to make it produce a timber crop, but to prevent tho washing. The for est Bhould oocupy nil hilltops, whioh, as a rule, have too thin a soil for prof itable agricultural use ; it should be kept growing on the steeper slopes where the wator acquires the greatest momentum, and tho loosening of the soil by the plow favors erosive action, and it thculj be on all rocky and un even spots, beoause produoing useful material even oa such unfavorable sit uations. Philadelphia Ledger, Language by Mail, By moans of a novel application ol the phonograph, this city has become tbe centre of a new industry for the study of languages. Phonographs loaded with a varioty of foreign tongues are now sent out from New York to ail parts of the country. The man who has adapted the phonograph to this profession is B. D. Cortina, and he has been so suooessful that already he has sent out over 500 machines, all loaded with his instruc tion and primed with his voioe. His method is simple. With each phonograph there is sent his text book, twenty loaded cylinders and twenty blaukoies. Eaoh lesson in the book is arranged in the form of questions and answers. The pupil, ready to be gin, puts the cylinder of the first lesson iu tho machine, the tubes in his ears and starts the phonograph. Keeping his eyes on the book, he hears the words and phases repeated, with their proper accent, just as it the professor stood at his side. There is an additional advantage that the lesson can be repeated twenty or a hundred times it necessary, until every sound is familiar to the pupil. Then, having thoroughly learned these sentences, he puts one of the un used cylinders in the machine and re peats the lesson. In a little paper box the cylinder comes back to New York, nnd at his earliest opportunity Mr. Cortina pops it iuto his own machine. At bis side is tbe stenographer. As he listens to the lesson repeated back, now stopping tne pnonograpn, now starting it goiug again, he dictates his criticism, where the pronunciation it wrong, what m right, what tbe mis takes are and where they have been made. Tho letter and tho cylinder go back to tbo pupil, who roads and lis tens to his own voice reproduced. Then, taking up the original cylinder once more, ho is able to tell just where the ditlerenoe lies. New York Jour nal. Freeziitrr Water t Blast Hacks.

Dodgo, In the Chicago Sun. iiistort or roca dbinhs. In an exchange we find the following testi mony of a thoughtful policeman, who was Inolined to look below the misery and crime which oame Iu his way to llul their oauso. Ho sayf: I was once standing in front of Tuft a saloon, when the barkeeper set down a blue Dottle on tne counter nnd said, "i nore nra nt four drinks 'a inat.' It occurred to me d like to trai-M up them four drinks where they went and what they did. won, a woman cot the llrst Rln. una wasn't an old woman, nor used to whisky; nbout thirty years old, and been pretty once, and accustomed to having a Kay time, I sup pose Hhe was on her way home from her hard day's work, tired and cold, and the whisky wa a temptation. It would take the place bt the danee and theitrennd fun. Hhe turned down the bystreet aud stopped at tho door of a suur little house. I knew her husband, Crafts, the carpenter, a eheerlul, hard-worklun fellow. He opened the door and her baby ran. out to meet ner. She struck It down to the ground with an oath. Her husband looked at her and fell back, as though he, too, had been struck. Then he picked up the child and carried It Into tbe pretty, warm room. I saw the mother lying stretohed across the hearth as though she was dead. The second drink out oi inn bottle, tne bar keeper told me, was given to old Htacy. He Is nearly seveuly and soaked with liquor; blood, stomach aud brain poisoned with It. There's not a healthy at em ot flesh left Id his body, not a good feeling tn bis heart, nor marily thought In his head. This drluk only helped, with all the river that he has drunk. to kill him surely in;h by Inch. lluy this time 1 nat got Dirk to the saloon. and in a few moments I saw a young man named Waters stop for the next. Ho had been drinking already. I ci lied to him. I used to know Waters, a young clerk wllh a good salnry, bnd n nioj Ilitle homo, and pietly wilM aud babies. Ho b quarrelsome u uriuk, ana a glass or two upsets mm. Waters." 1 said, "don't drink thntt you have had enough." But he laughed, took bis drink, and went down the street. A few niiuutes later I hnnrd a row and followed him. He bnd pleked a quarrel with one ot his friends and shot him dead. Waters was seutenoed to ten years; his homo-was broken up; his wife takes in woshlug to keep her children from starving. There was one drink left Inthe bottle. An hour Inter a young lad came In, a bright- faced boy, the ton of Dr. Hunker. lie s about sixteen now. I've watcheJ him grow up since he was a baby In his pretty lace dresses. I know whnt ho is to his mother. They have but this one child. I think they never bear of a good or great man that tuey do nt fnuey Jim will be like him. He tossed off the drink nnd went down the street, with a red face and leering, stupid eves. He Is on the snmn road as Waters nud old Stacy. Thayaroa little ahead ot him. I only traced up those four drinks; but I know there is not a drop of liquor which goes out of Tuft's saloon which does not help to carry discomfort, Ill-temper, misery, dis ease, poverty nnd disgrace Into some wretched, unfortunato home. TUB ALCOHOL TERROR, France, for reasons hygienic and fiscal. Is slruggling with the llqtior-trnfflo problem. Itenorts ol physicians, insnne-asyium omciais, and statisticians have frightened many pub lic men and writers ot f rauee with taiasor rav ages caused by tbe abu&e of alcoholio bever ages, an 1 especially by the evils effects of al cohol from wood, potatoes, nnd other sub stances which are used for adulteration. For some time a proieot has been under con sideration to prohibit tho sale ot these del eterious alcohols aud to restrict also the sale of wine made from the dried grape or raisins. This has airently reoeivea me sanc tion of tho President. France now proposes at least to Investigate thoroughly the system of state monopoly ol manutnotura, rectifica tion, and sale. Iu other European states de cided steps have been taken In this direction. Switzerland slnoe im-w nas exercised a mo nopoly of all sales of Industrial alcohols, leaving free the distillers of wines and in digenous fruits. Russia is tbe latest to adopt the monopoly system. The I'nthtlndor. CLEAR THINGS FOR LITTLE READERS. It is very clear that It I never drink in toxicating liquors I shall never beoome a drunkard. It Is very elear that If I never use Intoxi cating drink I shall never be guilty ol help ing to make others ctrunkarus. It Is verv olear that If I never go into drinking companies, I shall escape many ol the temptations and snares that ara laid foi the young. It Is very olear that if I drink Intoxicating liquor frequently, I may learn to liku It, and so become a drunkard. It Is very olear that moderate drinking Is the fountain from which all drunkenueai flows, tbe school In whloh all drunkards are trained. It Is verv cl-ar thnt If there was no moder ate drinking thoro would be uo druukenness. It is very olear that if the drunkard would be reclaimed he must abstniu from that which has made and that WhioU keeps him I druukard. FOR TWO REASONS. For two reasons every conscientious youns man ought to pledge himself to total ubstt neneo. Flist, for hiB own sake, for he doesn't know how soon he may become i tippler.

In this conntry thoy are directed and subjrotod to a course of manipulations by which they are converted into a kind of artificial leather, whioh is made to look very fine, and may be elegantly ornamented. In France they go through a less elaborate trans formation. At the military prison in Montpolier the shoes, the majority of which come from Hpnin, are ripped apart and the nails are drawn out. Tho parts are softened iu wator, and are then cut up by a machine into vamps for children's or little girls' shoes. The soles are likewise utilized.

Among curious sporting inoidents should bo recorded one told by Mr. John Kent in his "Reminiscenoos of Goodwood," where a horse loses a race from being too far in front at the winning post. Mr. C. Orevillo, who was judge, was seated on an erection so far above the level of the course that Dandizette passed, unnoticed by him, two or three lengths iu advance of Vi tcllina and Ghost, which were running on tho opposite' side of the course. Ghost hung so much upon Vitellina as to endanger ner being driven against the rails, which so attracted Mr. Ore ville's attention that he did not see Dandizotte ; and Boyce. who rode the xaare, asked Mr. Greville if ho did not win, stating that, although he passed tho post first by some lengths, be eould have increased the lead had he felt dis posed. So apparent was tho error that Lord Verulam tbe owner of Vitellina offered the Duke of Kichmond tho stakes. Watch and Locomotive.
