Tk Matrlaawntal Partnership la
a raaire.
The wife who receives the least at
tention in a drawing room from a man
is Lis own, and she return the compli
ment. Hence it is that at a time like
this, when people live for society and
in society, there is no place for conjugal
intimacy. Moreover, when a married
conple occupy an exalted position they
are separated by custom and decorum.
Earn party has his or her own house
hold, or at least their own apartments,
servants, eouipape, receptions, distinct
society, and as self-parade entailscere
mony, tuey stand toward each other iu
deference to their rank on the footing
of politestranfrers. Theyareannonnced
in each other's quarters; address each
other "Madame, Monsieur," and not
alone in public, but iu private; they
shrug their shoulders when sixty
leagues off from Paris they encounter
in some old chateau a provincial wife
ignorant enough to say "My dear," to
her husband before company. Already
separated at the fireside, the two lives
diverge beyond it at an increasing ra
dius. The husband has a government
of his own, his own private command,
his private regiment, his post at court,
which keeps him absent from home;
only in his declining yean does his
wite consent to follow him into the
garrison or into the provinces. And
rather is this the case because she her
self is occupied, and as seriously as
himself, often with a position near a
princess, and always with an impor
tant circle of company which she must
maintain. At this epoch woman is as
active as man, following the same ca
reer, and with the same resources,
consisting of the flexible voice, the
winning grace, the insinuating manner,
the tact, the quick perception of the
right moment and the art of pieismg,
demanding and obtaining; there is
not a lady at court who does not be
stow regiments and benitices. Through
this right the wife has her pergonal re
tinue of solicitors and proteges, and like
her husband, her friends, her enemies
and her own ambitions, disappoint
ments and rancorous feeling; nothing
could be more effectual in the disrup
tion of a household than this similarity
of occupation and this distinction be
tween interests. The tie thus loosened
ends by being sundered under the as
cendancy of opinion. "It looks well to
live together," to grant each other
every species of tolerance, to devote
oneself to society. Society, indeed,
then fashions opinion, and by opinion
it urges on the habits which it requires.
Toward the middle of the century
the husband and wife lodge under the
same roof, but that is all. "They are
never at home in private ; they are ne
ver encountered in the same carriage ;
they are never met in the same bouse,
nor, through the necessity of the ca-,
are they ever together in public." Pro
found sentiment would have seemed
odd, and even "ridiculous in any
event unbecoming; it would have been
as unacceptable as an earnest "aside"
in the general current 01 light conver
sation. Ike Ualary.
Tbe Terraplsi Trade.
In no way is the scarcity or abun
dance of monev more readily noticed
than in the value of luxurious articles
of food. In nothing of this description
has the price more decidedlv fallen
than that of terrapiua. During the
late war full-sized terrapius eight in
ches in length over the back, sold for
twenty-five dollars a dozen, and those
measuring from six to eight inches
were in demand at eighteen dollars per
dozen. Now, the former are worth
twelve, and the latter eight dollars
per dozen, tven at these prices the
demand is only about one-half com
pared with ten years ago. Terrapins
ait in season from the first ol October
to the first of April. During other
portions ot theyear they are not con
sidered edible. They are found in all
the brackish waters, bays, inlets and
rivers along the Jersey coast. The
usual time of taking them is at low
tide in tbe fall aDd winter, when a per
son seated in the stern of a boat probes
the mud with an iron-pointed pole as
he is slowly paddled along. When the
weather becomes cold the terrapin bu
ries in the mud of shallow streams and
inlets to the depth of a foot or more,
but his whereabouts is readily deter
mined when his shell is struck" by tbe
pointed iron. It sometimes happens
that a dozen or twenty are taken from
the mud within the space of a few feet.
Of late years, however, many have
been captured in heavy nets purposely
constructed by fishermen. They are
thus dragged aMiore in considerable
numbers during the spawning season,
and kept in ponds till there is a demand
for them, l'his practice is very de
structive to the animal and must re
sult in their extermination in certain
localities. Some of the best terrapins
come from the Chesapeake. The dea
lers distinguish the sexes by the tiames
ot "bulls ' and "cows." I be former
rarely exceed live inches in length, are
but little esteemed, and can be pur
chased at a dollar and fifty cents per
dozen. As terrapins are shipped to all
the principal cities in tbe Ln ion, the
aggregate value of the catch is very
large, and they should, like fish, be
protected by the law. The habit of
seining them must result in the rapid
decrease of the species unless mea
sures are taken to prevent it. The f reli
water terrapins abound in nearly all
the streams and ponds of Pennsylva
nia and the neighboring States, and is
less prized as an article of food. It
retails at from two to four dollars per
dozen, and grows frequently to three
times the size ot tbe salt water variety
The Captain awd the Dandy.
The portfolio of an ex-editor now
and then sends forth some amusing
"odds and ends," among which is this
good one of a captain of one of our
Nantucket whalers, an eccentric fel
low, and of rather an uncouth figure,
who visited one of our cities after a
cruise of three years, and one evening
attended the theatre. As a matter of
course, such a rough, dark-complexioned
old character in a box with
several fashionable ladies and gentle
men, attracted considerable attention,
and created some merriment among
tbe exquisites. Several times, every
opera-glass in the boxes was thrust at
him, until finally aware that be was
the attraction of the evening, he left
the bouse, determined to pay such im
pudence in their own coin, on the fol
lowing night.
Accordingly, oc the succeeding eve
ning, enveloping beneath bis great coat
tbe ship's spy-glass, about two feet
and a half in length, he started for the
theatre. As soon, almost, as be en
tered his box, tbe opera-glasses were
in commotion. He waited until the
play commenced, when, upon observing
a young gentleman, with a cane under
his arm, aud a glass at his eye pointed
directly at him, he drew forth from his
outer garment a spy-glass, and draw
ing it from tbe case the entire length,
aimed it direct at tbe dandy, and con
tinued to look at him nntil the house
was in a complete uproar, and the fop
left the box for the lobbies.
The people of Centialia, Schuylkill

Somx Facts About Brnxm. The
United States National Butter and Egg
Association have recently held a con
vention at Davenport, la. It appears
from their statistics that we consume
annually, for table and culinary nse,
1,400,010,000 pounds ot butter, valued
at $420,000,000 our annual exportation
being only 15,000,000 pounds. Although
there is no doubt that Americans use a
great quantity of this product, these
figures seem out of proportion. Butter
will not average 30 cents for the pound
since, taking the country through and
having a due regard to quality, 15 cents
is a fairer margin. Nor can the con
sumption be put up at as high a figure.
Iu 1870, according to the census, the
butter product was but 460,000,000
pounds, produced by 8,935,000 milch
cows, averaging a yield of a little over
50 Dounds to the cow. or of one and
one-half pounds per cow a week for
eight months in the year. The increase
or milch cows from I860 to 1370 was
less than 500,000; although the Increase
from 1850 to 1800 was 2,000,000, the
falling of the last decade being attrib
utable to tbe war. But "milch" cow
is not always a positive designation.
The class of cattle in 1850 was stated at
about ,000,000. In I860 at 14,700,000,
and in 1870 at about 13,500,000. The
ratio of milch kine to other cattle is
about four to seven in each decade; and
as we have been restoring our herds
since 1870, we must have at least 15,
000.000 other cattle, which would give
about 9,000,000 milch kine. Admitting
the yield of butter per cow to have im
proved, so as to be seveatT-five pounds
on an average, we nave a grosi pru
duct of 675,000.000 pounds, wortn
000.000. Upon this basis our annual
consumption of butter is about one-
third of a pound a weea per capita.
There is no doubt but that, with the
Dractice of a little closer economy and
a little better husbandry, our butter
export could be increased to 200,000,000
pounds, aud soO,ouo,uuu ne tnus auueu

Principles of Good Farming. The
better to retaiu important facts in tbe
memory, I am ever fond of reducing
the principles of good farming to brief
maxims and rules, compressing Into a
single short sentence the gist 01 many
a nmn Thus I carrr about the mental
pabulum to be digested at the handle
of the plow or hoe. The following are
some or these principles :
First. The farmer who would suc
ceed well, and derive pleasure as well
as Drofit from his calling, must mani
fest an active.an abiding interest in vo
cation. It takes heart-worn to mane
hard-work Dleasant.
Second. The farmer must study
bow best to increase and maintain fer
tility in his soils. Theie is no inertia
in agriculture. Tbere must be pro
gress, either forward or retrograde.
Third. The farmer mgst strive to in
crease the quality as well as the quan
tity of his crops. It is the quality that
determines the price. In this, Excel
sior" should be his unvarying motto.
Fourth. The farmer must seek with
a watchful eye to improve his market
facilities. It is transportation that eats
up the profits.
Fifth. The art of raising better stock
Is not as well known as it should be.
Keep no more animals than you have
the facilities to leeu ana care lor wen,
Sixth. The farmer must seek to im
prove his social, intellectual and finan
cial condition.
IIlOH CfLTTRE for Vegetables. We
do not entirely like the term high cut
ture either as a matter of taste or policy
Yet the idea it is intended to convey is
nndoubtedl v correct and sound. 1 nor
ough tillage, with the right kind of
manure and plenty 01 it, is a souna
maxim not only for the vegetable
garden but for every department of the
farm. It is true that cases of overstim
ulating may sometimes occur, but the
fault is nearly always in the opposite
direction. Larze vegetable products,
though sometimes objected to as of

the outcome of fertile soils. We never
hear of these large results from sterile
or neglected soils. No man need fear
the consequences of heavy manuring in
the vegetable garden. Kapidity of
growth means superior quality. v nen
ever you see small, imperfectly devel
oped or half-ripened vegetables in the
market, you may be sure the man who
raised tbem neglected his soil. What
ever branch of farming or gardening
such laggards engage 111 is very likely
to be die-credited by tneir moue 01 pur
suing it.
Beets for Cows. Last year I raised
a lot of mangolds and carrots. The
mangolds were gathered first and put
in the cellar: afterward the carrots
were gathered and corded up on top of
them, so that wnen 1 negan 10 ieeu
them to my cow, the carrots came nrst.
The cow gave about her usual quantity
of milk, excepting the usual shrinkage
on the acuessiou of cold weather aud
being put upon dry fodder. Fearing
that the beets would not keep as well
as tbe carrots and also thinking that
they possessed better milk-producing
qualities, 1 was anxious to get at them.
Accordingly 1 removed part of tbe car
rots and commenced feeding beets,
when to my surprise, my cow began to
fail of her milk until the deficiency
reached about one third. Wishing to
test the matter still further, I changed
back again to carrots, when her milk
increased to about tbe usual standard
The quantity fed was about the same
in either case about a half bushel
basket, three-quarters full. If there
was any difference, It was in favor of
the beets. Cur. Jiural ew lorker.
Lime and Salt. Prof. Johnson re
commends for fertilizing purposes to
mix one bushel ot salt and two of dry
lime under cover; allow mixture to de
compose gradually, thus foriuingchem
ical union. For this purpose the mix
tuie should be made six weeks before
use, or still better two or three months
the heap being turned over occasion
ally. This salt and lime mixture when
applied at the rate of twenty or thirty
bushels per acre, forms au excellent
top-dressing for many crops. It acts
poweri ully on the vegetable matter of
soils; nrty-six bushels applied to tur
nips have produced as large a crop as
barn-yard manure. It is destructive
to grubs and insects in the soil. Like
salt, it attracts moisture from the air,
and is useful against drought. Its de
composing power is remarkable, and if
three or four bushels or It are mixed
with a load of muck, the latter will be
thus thoroughly powdered.
To Destrot Cabbage Worms. A.
A. Southwick, farm superintendent of
the Massachusetts Agricultural College
writes to the PUnuqhnum that "to de
stroy the green cabbage worm dissolve
a handful of nitrate of potash in a pail
ful of water, and sprinkle the plants
with tbe solution. Ibis is best done
with a brush."
Few persons practice pruning cu
cumber, melon, and other similar kinds
of vines ; still, it is just as beneficial, if
properly done, as tbe annual pruning
of tbe grape and other woody plants.
The pruning should be confined, how
ever, to the pinching off of the ends of
shoots only.
One vear-old vine and small trees
are tbe most profitable to plant. Old
vineyards and old orchards need re
newing. They exhaust the soil around
them and finally fail, riant your or

Cheese Factor in in England. British
farmers are notoriously alow to accept
innovations, and this may be said with
out fear of hurting their feelings, as
they are well aware of it, and in tact
raiuer pnue tuemseivea ou weir wm
servatism. But they are now moving
in a direction which possesses some in
terest to Canadian farmers. Tbe Uni
ted States and Canada may be said to
have absolute possession ot tbe Bri
tish cheese market except for certain
fine brands with which we do not com
pete. Uur factory system baa already
made its way into Britain, and is as
successful there as it is here. Aod now
they are going to adopt another for our
institutions, the Dairymen's Associa
tion. Certain leading BDirita think it a
shame that English cheese makers can
be beaten in their own markets, and
they are going to leave no stone un
turned in the attempt to regain posses
sion. Dear land aud high taxes win
operate against them just as distance
will against us. The future will show
whether the new British Dairymen's
Association, which was formally insti
tuted at Birmingham recently, will
enable the farmers over tbe water to
drive us out of their markets. e
opine, says the Canadian Farmer, that
it will not. Nevertheless, it is never
well to have only one string to one's
bow. The move of our Englixh breth
ren should teach ns to be on the alert
for new markets. And if it should also
direct our energies more to the manu
facture of batter by the factory sys
tem, it will benefit us as much as it
will them.
riant Anaesthesia. The curious dis
covery ha recently been made that
anaesthesia may take place not oniy in
animals but in plants, and, in brief,
in all forms of life It has been demon
strated that etherization acts finally on
all the tissues of animals and on the
central nervous system. Hence, if
plants have tissues, the anaesthetic
should equally act on them. This sub
stantially appears to be tbe case: and
every vital act. whether ocenring in
niitml nr TcpftablH. mav be anaesthet
ised. In plants, M. Claude Bernard, to
whom is due the credit of the discov
ery, has found that germination ceases

similar tubes. In one tube he placed a
little ether. The plant therein on the
following day was found not to
have germinated, as the other
had; but after being removed
from the anaesthetic, the first went on
and terminated in a natural manner.
The plant had been literally put to
sleep.
The same is true of ferments; for
beer yeast, after contact with ether for
twenty-four hours, completely loses its
activity, and yet regains it as soon as
the etherization is stopped.

exquisitely beautiful than snow crystals
examined under a low power say leu
to twentv-tive diameters. A good mag
nifier, such as is used by engravers,
however, gives a very fair view of
them. It is only at certain seasons that
snow crystals are available, and unless
examined in a very cold room they are
exceedingly perishable. To avoid these
dithrulties, however, M. Dorigel. of the
St, Petersburg Academy, has endeav
ored to obtain some substance not lia

Wool Greattna.X Mr. Lebrun men
tious, in a German paper, that a consid
eiable quantity of oil may be saved by
the following process of oiling wool,
beside insuring a more uniform aud
regular web, ou account of the woolen
fibres loosening and separating them
selves more easily from each other.
Moreover, this plan, it is said, is not
open to tbe objectionable features of
aome Drocessea. which sometimes cause
the total disappearance of fine color
dyes ; and the cards wear longer and
better, besides allowing tbe wool to be
more easily and economically cleaned.
To obtain this preparative, pour into
a wooden trough 20 parts oil, with 10
parts of liquid ammonia, adding 5 parts
ot water, stir up wus liquor nu a
wooden spoon, and, by inserting a
steam pipe, allow the same to boil, un
til the atroug smell of ammonia has
evaporated, after which the oiling or
greasing may be proceeded with in the
usual manner.
Ventilation of Uaittcay TnnniU. Mr.
G. J. Murison says that, when tunnels
without shafts are to be ventilated,
fans should be employed ts keep up an
artificial ventilation; that for a given
amount of traffic the power required to
ventilate long tunnels varies as tbe
fourth power of tbe length; that when
a long tunnel is to be ventilated it is
more advantageous to bave a double
line tunnel with trains in each direc
tion than two single line tunnels with
trains in one direction only : that for
every tunnel there is a limit to the
amouut of trafiic, where locomotives
are used, beyond which ventilation be
comes impossible ; this limit cannot be
very definitely fixed, bat for a tunnel
of twentv-two miles it does not exceed
a total of twenty trains a day.
At at urttent worked, the gold and
silver mines of Japan do not appear to
be of much value. lion ore is abun
dant and the minesare rich. Magnetic
ore in sand and lump is most commonly
nsed. Lead is extracted in many pro
vinces, but in a faulty manner and in
small quantities. Some of the ores are
very rich. Tin is reported to be fonnd
in two localities, and the quicksilver
mines are not worked.
Kew Size for Cottons. Ilaitra Is pro
cured from China and Japan, and may
be nsed for thickening colors and siz
ing all tissues. For use it is washed in
water and is then boiled with sixty
times its weight of water, in a closed
vessel, at 65 degs. Fah. The paste thus
obtained will keep, and adheres to the
fiber so tenaciously that when once dry
it cannot be removed with cold water.
Detection of FucJuin Adulteration in

To Keep Butter Sweet. A friend
assures us that his wife always keeps
butter sweet or removes rancid taste
and odor from it by means of charcoal
packed in the vessel with it. She cuts
smooth sticks of charcoal, and, after
washing the dust from them, shoves
them through the butter perpendicu
larly, allowing them to remain in tne
vessels until the butter is- consumed.
Fresh butter will never become rancid
if thus packed, while rancid butter will
soon become as sweet as ever. This
may be a valuable hint to those who
make butter to sell.

Dear Sir It may be some satisfaction
to you to be informed of the result of
the trial of the "Peki'viax Stri p" in
my family. My daughter was brought
low by a typhoid fever last spring, and
after the fever left her she continued
very weak, and the .simplest food dis
tressed her. For mouths she remained
in the same debilitated condition ; but
from the 1st of September last, when
she commenced taking the Syrup, the
digestive functions improved, and she
steadily gained strengtn and vivacity;
and now, having taken two bottle, she
is restored to a good state of health ; in
deed, she appears more really healthy
than she has for several ye-irs past. 1
am of opinion that the "Protoxide of
Iron," contained in the Peruvian Svrup.
was adapted to her case, and enVcted
what no other known medicine could
have effected. Yours truly.

Schenck's Se Weed Toxic,
Schenck's Mandrake I'ii.i.s,
Are the only medicines that will cure
Pulmonary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a
cough will occasion the death of the
patient; they lock up the liver, stop
the circulation of the blond, hemorr
hage follows, and In fact, they clog the
action of the very organs that caused
the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are
the causes of two-thirds of the cases of
Consumption. Many persons complain
of a dull pain in the side, constipation,
coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-
blade, reelings or drowsiness and rest
lessness, tiie rood lying heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acidity aud
belching up or wind.
These symptoms usually originate
from a disordered condition of the sto
mach or a torpid liver.
Persons so affected, if they take one
or two heavy colds, and if the cough in
these cases be suddenly chocked, will
find the stomach and liver clogged, re
maining torpid and inactive, and almost
before they are aware the lungs are a
mass of sores, and ulcerated, the result
of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an ex
pectorant which does not contain opium
or anything calculated to check a cough
suddenly.
schenck's Sea Weed Ton ic dissolves
the food, mixes with the gastric iuices
of the stomach, aids digestion, and cre
ates a ravenous appetite.
