Hit morning meal should not bo so plentiful as that of the previous even ing, and after partaking of it hehould be worked moderately for the first hour or two, after which, if necessary, his rait mar be increased. At midday his feed should be less than either that of the morning or evening, and he will then renew Ids labor in the after noon with more vigor and less ex haustion than if he had partaken of a full feed, and will enjoy his evening's meal with greater relish.

Mr. A. II Siuee lately read a very interesting paper before the Imdon Chemical So ciety on Milk in health and disease, wherein the following facts were brought forth. Milk taken from herds of cows elnir.it great uniformity ol compoiition, yet the milk from Individ ual cows is liable to considerable varia tion ; moreover it is Missible for good average milk to lie watered to a limited extent without detection comaring milk from cows fed on ordinary meadow grass and on grass from a sewage farm. In the latter case the milk putritied, particularly in the Spjlng and Fall, much more readily than the former and butter made from it liecauie rancid sooner. Typhoid fever has several times been spread by using sewage water to w ash out pans and uiils and severe and largely fatal outbreak of that disease have resulted.

Nearly all the tree seeds should be sown in seed beds as soon as ripe. Kspecially is it the case with maples,oaks and chestnuts.as then they vegetate almost immediately. White oak acorns vegetate within three or four weeks after they drop. The seed beds should he covered with a thickness of three or four inches of leaves as soon as hard frosty weather sets in.

MiiTTirir. Heat and IVrffo. Mmren of Liege has presented -his View on toe relation of beat to vegrUtion, especi ally aa to the dynamic influence of beat on the (rrowth of plants. He saya that we will elucidate this matter slowly, in proportion as physics aad chemistry make prog-rea in the reve lation of the nature of bodies mad forces. Heat has an influence apon the growth of plant, ou the circulation of the sap. elalniration of the cells, tbe respiration.aad many otberpkenomena. The relation of heat to the development of plauU, and particularly tbe periodic phases of vegetation, are phenomena known through the epoch at which they manifest themselves, tbe mean date of these manifestations,- and the ave rage deviation t herefrom. After giv ing an abstract of the reaaltaofthe labors or Sch u beler, Hoffman, Fritach, Linnsser aad Kabsch, Prof. Morren states that a problem of hich impor tance, and one which Las been, per haps, too much neglected, is that of tbe relation between beat and the weight acquired by the plan under the action of the solar rays, and especially its re lations to tbe quantity of carbon fixed in the organic matter, as far as we can at present estimate that. In a temper are climate a hectare of forest and prai rie, or cultivated land, fixes in one year from l.-VHi to tf.issi kilograms of carbon; and in order to accomplish this work, vegetable organisms utilize between one and tour thousandths of the beat which has been received by solar radi ation npon the surface that they oc cupied. It is evident that such phe nomena as take place periodically, namely, germination, leafing, etc., are acts of growth ; sni-h growth supposes movement ; the fact of the movement necessitates consumption of force, which consumption is but a transfor mation of heat. If. to fix onr ideas, we suppose an apple to tall from a tree, we have but to reflect npon the laws of force in order to see that the apple must have been previously carried up into the tree, for it evidently has not raised itself there. It is the power of the heat proceeding from the sun which has effected the development and growth of the tree. It is, therefore, practicable to determine the mechanical coeilicient of growth, as Sansoni has determined the mechanical coefficient of nourishment for foods. It i the property of vegetable organisms to u tilize the heat received by them from any source, for the conversion oternde material into such forms as are needed by them for their own growth. In this process, however, f orce is neither crea ted nor lost, although much of it is se creted within the body of the plant or mineral. Other things beingeqnal.tlie quantity of carbou fixed in any plant varies with the average elevation of the height of its center of gravity. Atmwpltere of PUttirtarg Bodies. Telescopic observations appear to leave no reasonable donbt that the planets, liesides our own, have an encircling atmosphere ; iud-d, the atmospheres around the planets are thus made as palpable to sight as the clouds which boat on our own. Venos and Mercury are enveloped in thick atmospheres ; iu the former, the phenomenon is es pecially conspicuous, so that the morn ing anil evening twilight may almost lie seen iu that distant world. The at mosphere.also of Mars is in like man ner made -apparent, the clouds seen floating on kallowingof no uncertainty as to the fact. lini the .ascertained existence of clouds in tbe planets proves more than the mere presence of atmosphere uKa them. "An atmcsphere is necessary to support clouds, but it is not to be in dent! lied with them. Water, as is well known, is converted Into vapor by the agency of the sun aud wind. This va por, when it escaiies from the surface of the liquid, is generally lighter, bulk for bulk, than that portion of the at mosphere contiguous to it it rises into more elevated regions, where, by the agency of cold and by electricity, it is made to resume its liquid state, but in such minute particles that it floats and forms those semi-opaque masses called clouds. Great ' dilliciilties. however, obstruct inquiries of this nature, with respect to most of the planets; and die very presence of those atmospheres and the clouds witli which they are loaded, offers a serious inqiediiueut to ascertaining the character of their wir face. t , Ilydrogenteed Iron. M. Cailletet, in a paier presented to the French Acad emy, contributed the following inter esting points to the. literature of this somewhat obscure subject, if a solu tion composed of a mixtuie of the chlorides of iron and ammonium is de composed with the battery, there will be found at the negative pole an ac cumulation of metallic iron in masses of brilliant luster, great lirittleness, and hardness. From this iron after being -washed, either tinder water or any other liquid,- bubble up a gas which is pure hydrogen. In the air the iron only loses a part of the hydro gen which it contains. A specimen weighing 0.9 grin., kept for II days in an open tube, gave when heated 1 rr. of gas or more than half of what it con mined atthenioment of preparation. A fragment of iron placed under a test tube tilled with water healed to till deg. or TO dcg. (C) causes a tumultuous disengagement of gas. One volume of iron contains on an average 240 vol umes of cas. if a piece of hydrogen ired iron is approached to a burning body, the disengaged hydrogen burns, and the metal is surrounded with a light flame.. If a piece of this galvanic iron, previously heated, is employed as the negative pole of a voltameter, the hydrogen of the decomposed water es capes in abundance from the surface ot the metal, but none ot it apiearsto be occluded. Galvanic iron may read ily be powdered, but after heating it acquires a certain degree of ductility. A Oa Shadoic. A striking and cu rious experiment, showing the supe rior weight of carbonic acid gas over air. may be made by projecting the shadow of the gas, as it is iioured from its containing vessel, upon a screen. The latter should be of white paper and bright sunlight should full on the stream of gas, which should be poured from the spout of a pitcher held within 10 inches of the screen. The curious result, of a shadow tiroduced bv annar- ently nothing, will tie seen, the former resembling descending smoke, quite black at the spout of the vessel, but brightly illuminated w henever the sun light isconcentrated by passing through the gas. To Prerent Vine from Oracling. Glue frequently cracks because of the dryness of the air in rooms warmed by stoves. An Austrian contemporary recommends the addition of a little chloride of calcium to glue to prevent this disagreeable property of cracking. Chloride of calcium is such a deliques cent salt that it attracts enough mois ture to prevent the glue from cracking. Glue thus prepared will adhere to glass, metal, etc., arid ran be nsed for putting on labels without danger of their drop ping on.

Moss PitTt'Bts. The housekeeper?". Scores of pretty and inexpensive articles can be . made with ferns, - moss, sea shells, etc., which serve pleasantly to remind one of vacation rambles. I will describe a few of them. After making these attemjiU successfully, new aud beautiful designs will readily suggest themselves. A plow hangs In one corner of tnr sitting room that Is much admired. The foundation is simply a thread-box, with wooden side and a pasteboard bottom. The inside partitions are removed and a lining of Bristol hoard carefullv gummed in. Tbe rest of tbe articles are fastened to the paste board, with a few stitches or tne same color as the material used. Some deli cate pressed ferns, of the maiden-hair variety (onrtiantum) are piacea on me bottom, care being taken that every leaf lies in a natural position. A little be low, and covering the fern-stems. Is ' a branch of flne coral. A large and riehlv-colored scollop-shell Is placed at Its base. Over all and drooping about tbe shell a delicate mist of feathery grass and sea-moss Is arranged. Here and there, to give points of color, scarlet west India beans ana tiny tin tea sneiis are gummed. Near the center, and poised as though just alignung, are two nrgeous gold ana discs ouuerme. inished with a glass and narrow frame of gilt molding, tbe cost is about a dollar, while its natural grace and slm- Diicitv give more satisfaction than many a costly picture would do. Another pretty design is a cross, formed of a black walnut shaving or a piece oi Dircn bark. The foot of the cross is Imbedded in a green bank of wood moss, and a convolvulus is made to clsrnber to the very top. The vine is a bit of trailing moss, with each tiny leaflet picked out with a pin, after wetting in water for some time. The blossoms consist oi uie little cups found on tbe lichen, which grows ou rocks and old fences; by the wav. the colors are very line, being scarlet, lavender, white, and rarely yellow. A rustic bridge made of twigs, a ruined castle of bark, an archway covered with vines, a cluster of rooks, or an old stump, are all ideas that you can elaborate and carry out at your leisure. Mattresses sd Bedding. The autumn months afford as favorable op- -jortunities as any season of the year for making and repairing mattresses and putting the winter bedding in per fect readiness ror use. a ciean, iresn mattress has far more warmth in it, to say nothing of its whnlesomeness, than one that has been used a long time, and therefore foreconomical reasons, as well as reasons purely hygienic, it is advisa ble that mattresses" be frequently and thoroughly cleansed and renewed. The ticks should be emptied of their con tents, be they hair, wool, moss, or shucks, should be washed, Dolled ana sunned and thus made sweet as when new. The hair and wool will need beating, airing and sunning, to cleanse it perfectly, and may lie for days in Uie oien air with profit. This being done it is an easv task to return the contents of Uie mattresses to their tick? and tack them with a mattress needle, i In moss and shuck mattresses there is a good deal of breaking and wasting of material, which settles iu a tine dust on the lower side of the mattress. This waste should all lie removed and replaced with fresh material. - If moss cannot be procured shucks will answer very well as a sub stitute. - A Skasoxablk Kkcii-e.

She has been doing most of her - work foi over six months. Has used twenty hot tit ,and is still using it.

These deservedly cele"brated and iop ular medicines have effected a revolu tion in the healing art, and proved the fallacy of several , maxims which have for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. The false supposi tion that "Consumption- is- incural deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that disease, and pa tients afflicted with it reconciled them selves to death .without making an ef fort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable.- It is now proved, however, that l'onMmttitw ran he cured, and that it ha been cured iu a very, great number of cases (some of them apparently destieraie.. ones) ny Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; anil In other cases by the same medicine in connection ' with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. -.1. i Pr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health, for ;iuore than forty vears, was supposed, at one time to be at the very gate of death, his physicians baring pronounced iiis case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate, lie was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, maDy thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schenck's preparations with the same remarkable success. . .
