Agricultural.
Eooxomi Feed. The Tery dry
spring has caused a very short crop of
hay and other forage for the season,
with very little over from last year's
crop. It is not uncommon to see barns
bat half filled and maDy farmers uneasy
about their supply of feeding holding
out through a hard winter. Farmers
will have to shift in many ways to make
their feed last through. I have used
all-kinds of rough grasses, and it has
to be a very poor grass indeed if by
steaming and mixing a little mill feed
one cannot help their stock through
with it. I have had very good results
from feeding common swamp and pond
gratis, cut in September, by pouring
but water over it and mixing with corn
meal, shorts or wheat bran. The same
process will make any of the late grow
ing rough grasses, or even weeds, make
ver) good feed, much better than star
vation. J. nose who have means - r
steaming can turn most all ktnJs of
rough stuff into palatable feed, and
those who have no steaming apparatus
can make a good substitute by having
a box, with size sufficient to hold a feed
for their stock, and use boiling hot wa
ter to mix their cut hay, straw or course
feed with. I have fed the comrton
swamp grass that way previous to put
ting la steaming apparatus, and a little
additional meal would make my cows
milk as well as when they had the best
of dry hay. My plan was to have my
feed mixed about an hour before feed
iug time, and let it stand closely cov
ered d'iriug that time and soften as
much as possible ; it was then about
the right temperature to feeil.

Kfetcso Graphs Fuesh. A method
of preserving grapes for a long time,
even from one autumn until the next
summer, has come into extensive nse.
The grapes are kept ou the vine as long
as iHissiole in I-ranee, where tins
vie originated, to the end of Oetolier
or beginning of November. Uefore the
first frosts appear they are cut, leaving
a portion of the stem of about two or
three knots below the bunch and two
alxive it. The section of the upper end
is then to be covered with wax, to pre
vent Hie evaporation of the liquids con
tained in the pores of the wood ; and
after carefully removing all the un
sound grapes the lower end of the stem
is inserted iu a small elongated bottle
tilled with water, having a small quan
tify of wood charcoal in the bottom.
1 ne space between the stem and the
tight titting cork through which it is
inserted is to be tilled up with wax.
The bottles thus fitted are to be placed
oa shelves in a dry room, and there ar
ranged so as not to fall over, this being
liest prevented by inserting them in
holes bored in a frame, as close together
as tney can stand conveniently.

we not to lose from our sight the possi
bility that these occurrences, however
unquestionable tney be, are yet simply
owing to an action of the imagination,
whereof a notable instance is related
upon authority of great weight : A
mother saw a window sash descend
with great violence upon her little
child's fingers, whereupon she herself
was instantly seized with extreme pains
in her own fingers, which did afterward
swell and inflame in such a manner that
she was long in being cured. The fakirs

themselves of the signs of life-respira

1'abadoxes. Water thrown into a
red-hot metalic vessel does not boil, as
we should expect, but quietly gathers
itself together, forming a more or less
perfect sphere, and in that condition
floats about gracefully on the hot sur
face as it slowly evaporates away. If
at the same time a very evaponzable
substance, as liquid sulphurous acid,
is thrown in, the water may actually be
frozen in the red-hot vessel.
Water boiled in a glass flask until the
upper part of the vessel is entirely tilled
with steam, and then dexterously corked
liefore air can gain admission, and
placed in cold water, recommences to
boil. The boiling is produced by cold
instead of heat, and the experiment is
known as the ordinary paradox. If
steam from water boiling at '212- is
passed into a solution of salt in water,
the temperature of the solution steadily
rises, passing reaches the boiling
point of the solution, and finally the
latter also boils at a temperature as
high and even higher than lijO . accord
ing to its nature. There wa have the
extraordinary result of obtaining a high
temperature, say viz, 21:!' .
If there is anything in nature that
possesses a positive character, it is
light. Yet the physicist may so reflect
the light from a given source as to
cause it to destroy itself and produce
darkness. Jn like manner, two sounds

other, and either produce silence or
increased intensity of sound, at the will
of the operator.
Gold and Violet Bronze Powder.
The process for preparing these so
called powders (tungstons tungstates
of an alkali) by means of tin and fused
acid tungstates has been so improved
by Dr. Schnitzler as to be adapted to
the preparation of them, in suitable
furnaces, by the hundred weight, if the
demand for them will justify it. He
increased the amount of tungstio acid
to such an extent that by pulverizing
the mass obtained by the fusion of the
ingredients at a high temperature in a
crucible and heating it in a porcelain
tube by a weak charcoal fire it, at most,
simply became adherent by fusion. The
reduction was then accomplished in a
few hours by common burning gas. By
moderate temperature the yield was
considerable ; and gold bronze, after
repeated purification with hot nitric
acid and with caustic soda, appears by
sunlight as a beautiful gold-yellow,
uniform powder; by higher tempera
ture, it acquires a cast of red. The
violet bronze (the potash compound)
needs a h'gher temperature.
Auosa the recent physical problems
,J 8 is that suggested by the fact that a ball
uc i . . i i it ii .
or our ui bouu iron wm uoai upon a
molten mass of the same metal. To
account for this it has been argued that
iron, like water, expands on solidifying
and hence that solid iron is specifically
lighter than when in a molten state,
and that, this being the case, the iron
floats, just as ice does in water. Un
fortunately for the acceptance of this
theory it is stated by its opponents and
with good reason, that iron does not
expand as described, and hence is not
subject to the law that governs ice.
The second and apparently just theory
to account for the phenomenon is that,
when a ball of solid iron is brought in
contact with the molten metal, it does
not sink, owing to a film of airadhering
to it, which repels the molten iron and
prevents contact. This phenomenon
will be at once recognized as kindred to
that known as the spheroidal state of
liquids.

the gate-keeper. "Heard ye ony word

sir?" "Yes," was the reply ; "he will
be this way to day." "Will he be in a

horseback," was the brief rejoinder.
"In that case, do von think he wad be

They tell a tough story about two
sagacious mules out in Virginia City,
Nevada. The mules were as good as
can be made. Hank Blanchard, their
owner, was driving them one day, with
a friend Penn in the wagon. The
mules came to a place and stopped, and
refused to move a step further. They
both looked toward the roadside. Hank
looked, too, and saw what was the mat
ter with the mules. There was a sign
there, which read, "Hay $53 a ton," the
regular price being $2o Hank got out
of the wagon, went and talked to the
man of the sign, and came back and
told Fagan that he had ordered ten tons
of that hay at greatly reduced rates,
and that his mules might consider
themselves in clover. He got into the
wagon, and the mmes trotted briskly
off.

' In the year 1866 the cholera made
terrible havoc in Belgium, and at Ghent
it swept sway three generations in one
family, leaving only little child, Flo
rimond Depauw. The Journal de Oand
records an interesting incident in con

been employed in the grain market,
and when the fact became known that
this child was left desolate, those em
ployed there manifested great interest
in the little boy, whose disposition was
such as to make every one fond of him.
His holidays were passed among them,

A Terrible Poison prom Paris. At
a recent meeting of the Academy, H.
St. Claire Deville, a distinguished
French chemist, offered to the gentle
men present a tight-corked vial con
taining fifteen pounds of osmium, the
most deadly poison known. In a short
explanation M. Deville said that twenty
pounds of the metal would be sufficient
to poison the entire population of the
world. One thousandth part of a grain
of osmic acid, set free in a volume of
air of one hundred cubic yards, would
possess such a deadly influence that all
the persons respiring this air wonld be
nearly killed. Osmic acid is so much
the more dangerous that no counter
poison is known against it.

Bsd bugs will live a year without air
or food when placed in a hermetically
seaiea Dome ; dui Dnmstone will kill
them. Place in the centre of the room
a dish containing about fonr ounces of
orimstone ; remove from the room such
metalic surfaces as might be aflected by
uie iumes ; ciose every aperture, even
to the key hole, and light the brim
stone. After fonr or five hours, enter
tne room and open the windows for a
thorough airing.
The whole secret of a full form and
rosy cheeks lies in pure blood, manu
factured from wholesome food, by
healthy and vital organs, oxygenated
and vitalized in well-expanded lungs,
and kissed by the life-given sunlight
on the surface of the warm cheek. She
who will have the color she covets on
any other terms must buy it of the
apothecary, and renew it every time she
makes her toilet.
To kep moths out of clothing : Mix
half a pint of alcohol, the same quantity
of spirits of turpentine and two ounces
of camphor. Keep in a stone bottle
and shake before using. The clothes
or furs to be wrapped in linen, and
crumpled np pieces of blotting paper
dipped in the liquid are to be placed
in the box with them, so that it smells
strong. This requires renewing once
a year.
Baked Fish. To bake a fish, you
should empty the fish at the gills ; then
stuff it with bread and herbs, forced
meat balls or oysters, just as yon
prefer. Season the outside with pepper;
turn the tail into the mouth and tie it.
Lay it on sticks in your bake-pan and
flour it welL Lay some pieces of butter
on it ; half an hour will cook a small
one.
It will be acknowledged evenbyihose
who practice it not, that clear and
round dealing is the honor of a man's
nature, and that mixture of falsehood
is like alloy in coin of gold and silver,
which may make the metal work the
better, but it debaseth it.
Let every family remember that each
particle oi damp dirt about their
dwellings is s plague spot ; and every
servant and child be visited with the
severest reproof, who knowingly per
mits its continuance for a single mo
ment.
It is a solemn thing a very solemn
thing to get married to feel that hence
forth through life the mild-eyed girl at
your side is to be the only female in the
wild world duly licensed to throw flat-
irons at your head.
There is one consolation in being
bald. When a policeman strikes you
on the head with his club, the doctor
doesn't have to waste any time in cut
ting nair away from tne wound.
Said a conscientious auctioneer :
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no
sham about the carpets ; they are
genuine tapestry carpets. I bought
them of old Tapestry himself.

EXPLANATION AND ELABORATION
OF WANAMAKER & BROWN'S NEW PLAN.
Houses doing a credit business aaau provide for losses on bad debts. Interest on long-standing
accounts, capital locked up, etc. To bear such losses themselves would drive them out of business.
Therefore a per cent, is added to the price of each article sold, to cover this leakage, and Caa Mmftra
whether they U sr avat, resty jtey (Ae see" aVeta esi IKs t,Ummt Io errMtm Ihm ether aaaarr.f
Under the Caw Jtaysana system one pays only for what gets, and contributes nothing to a " Sinking
Fund.
By this Ri'lirat Chang we shall lose some of our customers no doubt, but we will gain ten where
we lose one, the advantages being so great to all who can avail themselves of them. So we say
CASH. THROUGHOUT.
Bring Money for Clothing, and we will supply it at prices seaa.'Ue aaeVr as MKrr p4mm.
The Wrani of this feature of our plan all will praise. It is simply treating all alike exacting
nothing from indisposition to bargain or ignorance, and, at tne same time, concerting iniiinnnuiw.
on the shrewdest customer's part could possibly extort, tiecauue Uie "One Price" which we mark ou
our goods, shall invariably be
NOT the "First" Price, but t&e JaAST ana ljUWMr i'axujs.
NOT tho "TOP" Price, but the VERY BOTTOM PRICE.
In other words. Salesmen or " Headmen," have never been allowed, under ordinary circum
stances, to fall below a certain figure! It is at that, or at a tmrrr fiyure that we now determine to mark
our goods, calculating the cost to the exact penny, and fixing the price at the low minimum proiit on
which business on a large scale can be conducted.
We know that the l irger business we aim for and anticipate, will require a large Increase in uie
number of customers, an 1 we shall therefore see to it that the "One Prioe " is based on the Smallest
Profit, calculated to the exact and lowest penny, which will not be difficult to do with universal Caali
Payment for the rule. The price will be marked in plain figures and no alteration allowed.
