A Foetus r. fkom Feathers. Very
HMwntlT new invention baa opened the
way to a new utility, and the wealth of
Franoe rests in ber wonderful utilization
of even the meanest thing. This new
thing, which is to give all the country
maidens a dot, or dowery, is feathers.
The only capital required is a pair of
scissors. How much money do you
think is annually lost in America by the
waste of feathers? Geese, ducks, tur
keys, bens, and pigeons lose quantities
in one way and another by accident,
moulting, battles, and death. Feathers
stick in the mud, on weeds, on branches
and sticks ; they lie on the woad-piles,
by streams everywhere one wanders he
will find a feather. A feather is almost
indestructible. It may be blown from
mountain-top into valley and back again
and remain the name beautiful and deli
cate thing. Well, these wandering
feathers that seem so insignificant con
stituteor may veritable riches. Lis
ten: The down of geese and ducks has for
a long time been very highly valued,
"downy beds of esse" being the incur
nation of repose, while the bed-covers
of silk, lined with down, have been, on
account of their high price, only enjoyed
by the rich. But in Paris "artificial
down" has come to be more highly
valued than the natural down, because
it is much lighter. This is made from
feathers of no matter what kind of
feathered animal, by cutting the barb
of the feather from each side of the
quill, and putting them (the barbs) in
a stout cloth sack, and then rubbirg
them between the hands as a washwoman
does linen. Five minutes rubbing will
have mixed the mass in a felt-like sub
stance, rendering it homogeneous. That
ia tdredon artificieL, and sells in Paris
for something over $8 in gold a pound,
and this price is constantly increasing.
But there is something more wonderful
still. A process has been invented for
making cloth of feathers. To make a
square meter (a meter is three inches
more than a yard) of cloth cloth vastly
lighter and warmer than wool, from 700
to 756 grammes (a gramme is equal to
16 9 grains avoirduKis) of this artificial
down. Bat this feather cloth lrap de
plume it takes color sdmirably, and
is almost un-wear-out- able, because.
instead of breaking and cutting in tbe
places most exposed to wear, it mats
itself more snd more into a felt-like
substance. This discovery is one
the most remarkable of the age.
Now for some figures. The estimate
has been made that in France alone
enough feathers are allowed to go to
waste each year to make from 7,000,000
to 8,000,000 square meters ol clot hi In
other words, as much rs lot in France
in feathers as is paid for cotton ! This
being true of France, how much more
Is it true of tbe Lnittd states? A girl
of eight or ten years can see from this
how valuable every feather every one
is, sad her chance for money-making.
for if I mistake not, the price paid for
down is higher in America than
France, and it finds buyers everywhere.
Experiences result in facts, and here is
one: Tbe feathers that three-fourths of
the country people throw sway amount

To Make a Manure Spreader. Pro
cure a strong pole, about ten feet long
and six inches in diameter, and secure
tongue in the middle, so as to form
large T. The tongue may be bolted or
secured by mortise and tenon. After
the tongue is made fast, set it up in
perpendicular position and bore two-
inch holes through the head-piece, one
foot apart. Aow nil the holes with
strong spreading brush, letting the
brush extend behind the cross-head
from four to six feet. The more brush
one can fasten in the holes tbe better.
After the manure is spread with forks,
Bitch a team to the tongue, place
board on the brush behind the cross-
head, and let tbe driver stand on the
board as the spreader is driven across
the field, back and forth like a harrow,
and the brush will then spread and
grind the manure into the gronnd and
pulverize the lumps more perfectly than
could be done by hand. A man and
horse team can spread an acre per hour
of any kind of manure. Such a spreader
wul be found useful in preparing land
lor seeding after it has been harrowed,
as it will crush tbe lumps, fill up the
dead furrows and leave the field like
ruden bed. In lien of a larce nnlp
heavy slab or narrow plank may be em
ployed for the head of tbe spreader.
The spreader should be driven at a right
angle to tbe first course, whenever all
the bunches are not ground fine and
spread evenly.

by merely smoothing the rough bark

spreading the ink directly upon the

A baulky horse is understood to be
an animal which, when harnessed, re
fuses to start. Various expedients,
many of them cruel, are resorted to in
order to overcome such obstinacy, and
it may, therefore, be well enough to
please note the California method. It
is to put a rope under the horse's body.
Demua nis lore legs, ana lo let two men,
one at each end, draw the rope back
wards and forwards, as if "sawing" at
the legs. It must not be done too
roughly, but still with force sufficient.
The animal, to escape something he
does not understand, will soon move a
few steps, and after a lengthened but
quiet application ol such a 'persuasive
process will not fail to move on. Re
peated applications will work a thorough
cure. .

five others, which are more feeble and

one; these five are nearly staminate,
and attached to the side of the little
bulb, while the base of the stem of the
Jiatiilate flowers in the center and these

into an apple. This fact is a pleasant
one to investigate. Perhaps some good
may come of the investigation.

Htdbofhobia. No one, remarks the
Lanctt, conversant with newspaper
literature but must have been struck
with the great number of deaths from
hydrophobia recorded during the last
three years in this country. From
Sheffield we have an account of a man
dying last week of the disease, in hor
rible agonies, while at about the same
period a presumably rabid dog ran
amuck among the inhabitants of Hud
dersfield, biting no less than six per
sons. Five of these were immediately
taken to the infirmary, where their
wounds were cauterized with nitrio acid
and nitrate of silver. The animal a
large sheep dog was killed, and an
examination of its body brought to
light a circumstance which leads us to
think it possible that the dog's violence
was due solely to irritation, and not to
rabies. In the stomach (which was
empty) a common pin was found near
the pyloric end, with its head buried
in the coats of the stomach, the point
having penetrated through into the
cavity, where about half an inch of it
was free. As regards the prophylactic
measures to be resorted to in cases sim
ilar to that which we have just recorded,
we are sorry to have to confess that the
armament of medical science offers no
weapon capable of counteracting the
dire effects of true rabies. Complete

Child rex's Shoes .A great many
children suffer martyrdom with their
feet and make no sign. We saw the
other day a little foot two of them, in
fact that had pressed the clover blos
soms of only five Summers and yet were
distorted beyond all hope of symmetry.
Crowded into a shoe at once too narrow
and too short what could the toes do

" Compression of the feet in children,
not less than in grown people, works
great many evils. Derangement of cir
culation, headache, and weak eyes, re
sult from wearing tight shoes. Tbe
motions of a child should be absolutely
free, snd every garment and covering
of the body should be so contrived as
not to detract in the least from perfect
freedom of circulation and movement.
Keeping shoes on feet that have out
grown them is very expensive economy
it would be cheaper to manure grape
vines with them. We confess to a great
admiration for small and pretty bands
and feet, but we think more admirable
than they, are hands and feet, however
big they may be, that are serviceable to
their owners, and that haste to do good.
Can any one tell what number of shoes
S ocrates wore or would have worn had
sandals been numbered in his day, as
they are in ours ? Did the mother of
the Gracchi have small feet, and if she
did. what better were her sons for it 7
It is probable that more children
suffer the misery of compressed feet
from wsnt of reflection or from false
views of economy on the part of the pa
rent than from maternal vanity. One
ill-fitting pair of shoes may entail on
child a lifetime of suffering. We write

It may not be amiss to add a word of
consolation to the unfortunate posses
sors of ugly hands and feet. We have
heard unnumbered expressions of ad
miration of the works of various artists,
authors, and poets, but we do not re
member ever to have beard the query
as to what kind of a hand wrought any
picture or penned any passage thus ad

pursuit of the knowledge or ability thus

our complexion is clear or cloudy, what
the color of our hair may be, or what
number of gloves or shoes we wear, so
they do not impede our activities.

the egg well beaten and the essence.
Mix with this very slowly three cups of
flour, putting the cream tartar into tbe

makes a delicious cake for jelly, choco

used, grate a large cocoanut, removing

amusements, more holidays, more frolic
and noisy, boisterous, mirth." (Note.
These will result in a greater abundance
of fresh air m our dwellings.) A pro

of mental activity, and the removal of
carbonic acid, which "lowersthe vitality
and kills with indefinite warning," are
prime conditions for the development

The Rose on the Lawn. An English
journal says : Few persons are aware
uf tbe magnitude to which the rose mav
be grown, or the splendid effect it can
be made to produce on a lawn or pleas
ore ground ; yet with a sufficiently
strong stem, and a system of cirefu
and patient training, there can be no
reasonable duubt but that the standard
roses can be grown to the size and form
of the ordinary examples of the weeping
ash, having the branches all produced

Potato Bread. Take six good-sizrd
potatoes, boil aud mash very fine. Add

knead in flour and salt as stiff as you
can. Set it in a warm place to rise ;
knead again, adding as little flour as
possible. Let it rise again, and then

I bent over the scarlet-faced rascal,
pushed his nose one side, chucked him
under the chin, and didn't answer with
out due deliberation. I told her that
there was a faint resemblance to George
Washington around the mouth, but the
eyes reminded me of Daniel Webster,
while the general feature had made me
think of the poet Milton ever since she
entered the house.
That was just her view exactly, only
she hadn't said anything about it be
fore. "Did I think he was too smart too

I felt of his ears, rubbed his head, put
my finger down the back of his neck,
and I told her that, in my humble
opinion, he wasn't, though he had a
narrow escape. If his nose had been

had appeared in the place of his eyes,
Bascomb could have purchased a weed

Among the horrible superstitions
which still exist in some parts of the
world, that of the vampire is one of the
worst A recent lawsnit in Germany
has shown that this weird belief still
exists, notwithstanding the boasted
enlightenment of the nineteenth cen
tury. On the 5th of February, 1870. there
died at Kantzyno, a village in Western
Prussia, of consumption, a respectable
gentleman, named Francis Von Pob
locki, sixty-three years of age. A few
days after his funeral his eldest son,
Anton, was taken sick and died on the
18th of the same mouth. According to
the physician, his disease was what is
known as "galloping consumption."
Almost at the same time this man's
wife and a joung daughter were taken
sick; a second son and a brother-in law
felt very unwell, and all these persons
complained of feeling indescribable anx
iety and oppression.
The superstitious notion was now
adopted by the family, that the dead
father was a so-called vampire.and that
they must alt die if help were not at
once obtained.
A vampire is supposed to be a body
which continues to live in the grave,
rising therefrom by night to suck the
precious life-blood from living persons,
es pec tally its own relatives, and thus to
nourish itself and prevent the usual
decay.
The persons attacked.it is said.some-
times feel themselves in a dream caught
by the neck and almost strangled; or
nnable to keep off the fearful visitant
who lies on their breast, they decline
very rapidly, and after their death be
come themselves vampires, and so on
without end. until, by some forcible
measures, the fearful terror is dis
pelled. According to this superstition, whioh
prevails in Poland and Western Prus
sia, the ability to become a vampire is
given with the so-called Fortunatus'
cap, which in all ages and among all
people has been regarded as an emblem
of prosperity. Such vampire candi
dates are said to be somewhat dicta
torial and avaricious. The principal
sign, it is believed, is to be found in
the corpse. The face retains its color;
the blood flows freely; tbe stiffness snd
offensiveuess of dead bodies are entirely
absent, as though the person were in a
trance.
There are various methods adopted
by these superstitious people for de
stroying the vampire; some mild, others
more severe. One is to turn the dead
body in the coffin with the face down
wards. Another is to drive a wooden
stake through the breast, and further,
to cut off the head and lay it, face
downwards, between the legs. While
the body is thus horribly treated, the
people declare that groans are heard
and wild laughter from the mouth of
the vampire. In some cases the body
is burned to ashes.
After Anton Von Poblocki's death,
and his mothef and sister were taken
sick, the family determined to resort to
the severest measures of relief, tbe exe
cution of which devolved on the second
son, Joseph, who was now tbe head of
the family. The ssme operation was
to be performed on the father on the
night before the son's funeral.
Joseph Von Poblocki, with this view,
went the dsy before to the grave-digger
of the place, and offered him a round
sum of money if he would dig the grave
for his brother so near to his father's
that they could, without much trouble,
break through the separating earth,
and open the coffin of the supposed
vampire.
The grave-digger consented to do
this, but first consulted the pastor of
the village church. The worthy clergy
man forbade his taking any part in such
a desecration, and ordered him to dig
the grave as usual. He also set a watch
on tbe night before the funeral. The
watchman was, however, careless, and
the men were not disturbed until they
had accomplished their purpose.
Joseph and his assistants were tried
for their act of desecration, and were
found guilty by the District Court This
sentence was reversed by the Court of
Appeals, but the verdict was set aside
by the Superior Court, and the case
sent back to be tried again by the tri
bunal of the district The trial was
protracted through two years, but all
the parties were finally acquitted on the
insufficient ground that they meant no
wrong.
If now we ask for the origin of this
strange and horrible superstition, we
shall probably find it in the ancient
doctrine that tbe souls of the dead pass
into the bodies of other animals ,
doctrine still held by the Hindoos.
There is a bat in South America which
sometimes sucks the blood of animals,
and if this species once existed in Eu
rope, it msy have given rise to the be
lief that the dead sometimes rise from
their graves and nourish themselves on
the blood of the living. The wonder is
that the superstition should still main
tain its ground in this age of almost
univeral education and of scientific in
quiry.
Chocolate.
When the Spaniards discovered Mex
ico they found the inhabitants of that
country engaged iu the cultivation of a
beautiful species of evergreen tree, the
fruit-seed of which was highly valued
as an article of food, 't hese trees.
called bv the natives chocolate, grew
to a height of twenty or thirty feetind
were arranged in grooves on the shel
tered hillsides aud bottom-lands, in
places where they could be well watered
by irrigation; a wonderful feature iu
their growth was the buds, blossoms.
aud mature truit borne at one and the
same time, so that the trees were in
bearing all the year round. 1 he na
tives gathered the ripe fruit and ex
tracting tbe seeds dried them in the
sun; after which they were ground be
tween stones into a tine powder, and
made into a kind of soft paste. Tbe
Spaniards took some of this paste back
with them to Spain, where it afterwards
became so popular that ships returning
quantities of it; and when, later, the
nuui iuo colonics uiuuguc in large
new food became known generally
throughout Europe, the raw material
was imported into Spain where the
secret of its manufacture was retained
for many years. The preparation is
now called chocolate or cocoa, this
latter word being a corruption of cacao,
the other and more common name of
the tree. The consumption of cocoa
has of late years increased to such an
extent, its value as an article of heat
giviug diet being generally acknowl
edged, that the tree, which is indi
genous to tropical America, is largelv
cultivated, and the seed or bean forms
an important item in the commerce
with Trinidad, Ecuador and Peru,
Guiana, aud the islands of the Spanish
Main.
1 he preparation of chocolate as it is
now conducted consists beginning
with the fruit; in opening the ripe nod
and extracting the twenty or thirty
almond-shaped seeds; wheu a sufficient
number of these have been collected
they are placed in shallow pits dug in
the ground, where they develop suffi
cient heat to produce a slight fermen
tation. When this has continued a
sufficiently long time, and the delicacy
of the flavor depends on its adjustment,
the seeds are spread out on mats until
perfectly dry, when they are packed in
bags and shipped to the European
markets. Here they are carefully
picked over, and roasted in large re
volving cylinders, after which they are
spread out on wire frames and allowed
to cool rapidly. Thev are then placed
in a crushing mill, and the thin shell
(which has a very irritating effect on
the membrane of the stomach) win
nowed out by a fan. Tbe grinding mill,
which is slightly heated, reduces the
nibs to a fine powder, which is then
mixed with the sugar and farina, and
sometimes flavored with spices; the
mixture is then passed between heavy
rollers which reduces it to a perfectly
smooth paste, in which condition it is
turned into the moulds. This finishes
the preparation. From the moulds the
forms are taken, weighed, wrapped
in tin foil and marked for the market.
Tat Amerieaa iirl Abroad.
To the French matron this girl is an
enigma. Where her daughter timidly,
and with downcast eyes, answers the
man with furtive speech, her sister
from over the sea confronts him boldly
and speaks with assurance. One blushes
when she is accosted by the man, while
tbe man blushes when accosted by the
other ; that is to say, the man is more
timid in America than the woman. The
Frenchmen regards this naivete as an
irresistible charm ; the American seems
to admire aplomb the eyes which look
boldly into his, and the tongue which
answers him with ease and glibaess.
The Gallic matron affirms that she has
the manners of a married woman. She
goes to theatres where her daughter
is never permitted to go, and reads
novels that are only allowed to the
French woman with a hnsband ; orders
her raiment without aomment from her
mother, and receives men visitors alone,
and talks to them by the hour ; walks
fearlessly down the Champs Elysees
unattended, attired in striking colors,
engsges her own cab, and generally
manages all affairs relating to herself.
Most remarkable of all, she selects her
own huband.
The French mother emphatically con
dems this mode of bringing np the
American girL To her, the freedom of
manner and independence of character
are in bad taste, and apt to lead to re
salts that may not be named. If statis
tical proof be submitted to her that
such an education is not incompatible
with morality, she will respond that
it may suit the character of the Ameri
can, but would never answer for tbe
French girL If she be frank, she will
say that she would sooner see her
daughter take the veil than follow the
transatlantic mode of life. But this
would never be said to an American
the rules of politeness forbid it ; such
confidences are for the ear of her own
people. If asked by an American what
she thinks of his young countrywomen,
she will probably answer that they are
"charming : hence the r.nglin and
American charges of insincerity usually
laid upon her shoulders. She doubtless
says to herself. "A auoi ton t let us
live peacefully together while we can,
and wake each other happy." When
there is a necessity for using a sharp
tongue, it is hardly necessary to add,
she is not behind her sisters of any
other land. The Galaxy for May.

Bronchitis.
This is an irritation or inflammation
of the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. It arises
from a cold settled in the throat, from
Catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter canse commences in the
larynx and glottis, which are the organs
of the voice, and, extending downwards,
produces boarsenes-t, coughing and
spitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. It is chiefly danger
ous from its tendency to spread into
the lungs, and terminate in consump
tion. It is in the cure of severe and
obstinate cases of this disease that Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
achieved unparalleled success, and won
the loudest praise from all who have
used it
A DEBT OF GRATITUDE.

A Word in Season. Health is a bless
ing, which comparatively few enjoy in
all its fullness. Those endowed by na
ture with robust frames and vigorous
constitutions should be careful not to
trifle with them.
When we enter the seasons of peri
odic fevers,the increased heat of the sun
develops a miasma which pervades the
air. The evil is inextinguishable ; our
duty to guard against it is imperative I
Fortunately for those whose lot is cist
in low marshy districts or new clear
ings, nature provides a cure and preven
tive. Dr. Walker's California Vine
oar Bi iters are endowed with rare pro
phylactic or disease preventing powers,
and as an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure, should be taten in
full vigor of health, so as to fortify the
system against the assault of summer
disease, and thus secure by their life
giving, strengthening, restorative, and
antiseptic virtues, a defense against at
mospheric poison. 33

Chapped hands are very common with
those who have their hands much in
