Horace Greeley's Bars. Horace
Greeley was not only a successful edi
tor, but a fair farmer. A few year be
fore his death he wrote a description of
his barn, which will be read with in
terest, no doubt, and perhaps with pro
fit at this time : "My barn is a fair sue
cess. I placed it on the shelf of a hill,
nearest to the upper side of my place,
because a barnyard is a manufactory of
fertilizers from materials of lesser
weight; and it is easier to draw these
down hill than up. 1 built its wails
wholly of stones gathered or blasted
from the adjacent slope, to the extent
ot lour or five thousand tons, and laid
in a box with mortar of little lime and
much saud, filling all the Insterstices
and binding tue whole in a solid mass,
till my walls are nearly one solid rock,
while the roof is of Vermont slate. I
drive into three stories abasement for
manures, a stable for auituals, and a
story above this for hay, while the
grain is pitched into the loft or scaffold
above., from whose floor the roof rises
steep to the height of sixceen or eigh
teen feet. There stiould have been more
windows for light and air; but my barn
is convenient, impervious to froet, and
1 am confident that cattle are wintered
at a fourth cost less than when they
shiver in board suauties, with cracks
between the boards that will admit
your hand. No part of our rural
economy is more wasteful than the ha
bitual exposure of our animals to pelt
ing, chilling storms aud to inteuse
cola. Building with concrete is still a
novelty, and was lar more so ten years
ago, hen I DUlil my uarii. 1 ramu
not build better and cheaper, but I am
glad that 1 need not. 1 calculate that
this barn will be abidingly useful long
ttr 1 shall have been lorgotten ; ana
Hint, had 1 chosen to have my name let
tered on its front, it would have re
mained there to houor me as a building
long after it had ceased to have any
other signification."
Acreage Required for a Cow. now
much land is required tor the support
of a cow r This questlou uepeuus lor
an answer so much on the circum
stances of the soil as not to admit of
verv definite answer. In a dairy com
petition in Jefferson county, N. in
137. the first nrize dairy, of sixteen
cows, was kept on thirty acres of laud ;
the secoud premium dairy of eighteen
cows, on sixty acres; the third dairy of
thirteen cows, on thirty acres: the
fourth of twenty-uine cows, on fllty-
five acres, the tilth of twenty-eight cows
011 ninety acres. Mr. Schull, of Little
Falls, X. Tl., estimates that the laud in
iKisturane and hay requisite for the sup
port of a cow is ilin-e acres; aud this is
the estimate of Mr. Carrington for
moderately cood dairy farms in Eng
land, lu Belgium ten acres of land sup
port two cows, one heiter aud one year
ling, or call; but wnen tne caives are
sold off vouiiz. and cows in lull milk
are only a-il. the proportion is two
cows to seven aud a half acres. Col man
estimates three acres of pasture as re
quisite lor a cow in Berkshire county,
Mass., while for some cows two acres of
Dasturage are sufficient. Mr. Karrlng-
ton, in the Ileiiort of the American
lairymen's Association, thinks that, on
an average, four acres are required per
cow, lor summer and winter keep;
while Mr. X. A. Willard thinks that in
Herkimer county, N. Y., one and a hall
to two acres of pasture per cow will an
swer, and in some exceptional case one
aire.
Improper articles of food often cause
the blood to become loaded with foul
humors. Cleanse the blood with Dr.
Bull's Blood Mixture and be healthy.
AVEiGnT of Milk. It is stated that an
average quart of milk at a temperature
of sixty degrees would weigh, if we re
collect aright, a fraction over 2 pounds
to the quart; but Or. Slurtevaut,in one
ot his iiublic lectures, in which he urged
farmeis and experimenters to drop the
practice of reporting milk by measure,
as ijuarts differ so much that one never
knows certainly how much a cow gives
by the measure reports, and to adopt
the weighing system instead, gave 2.15
pounds as his standard in practice, it
being more convenient to use than the
exact fraction, and near enough lor all
practical purposes. Since that time the
public generally have adopted 2.15
pounds as tbe practical measure f r a
quirt ot milk, usually, however,
weighed warm Irom the cow. So a cow
wbic) gives 53 '4 pounds of milk in a
day is a twenty-nve quart cow, but such
cows are scarce.
Heading Cabbages ix Wixter. A
correspondent says he often sets out
cabbages so late in the season that the
beads are but half formed when the
winter sets in. Just before the ground
freezes, a deep furrow is plowed on a
dry, sandy knoll, the cabbages are care
fully lilted with adhering soil and set
as thickly as convenient in the natural
position. They are then covered with
a few inches of straw, and with tbe
same thickness of soil, partly by plow
ing against them. The heads lortu
during winter, and they come out in
spring white and tender. We nave em
ployed a moile somewhat similar for
the imperfectly heads of tbe cabbage
patch, by covering the trench with sup
ported siabs or old boards, and then
with straw and earth.
Farmers should be advised not to try
to economize by mowing too close. An
old farmer of our acquaintance used to
say that he thought "it was better to
leave the lower joint for the old brir.dle
cow than to save it for her," and we
wonder that all sensible farmers do not
heed his advice.
A Gofkd Kpartee.
The liev. Ralph Erskinc on a certain
occasion paid a visit to his venerable
brother Kbcnezer.
"Oh, man," said the latter, "but you
come in a good time. I have had a
diel of examination to-day, aud ye
maun talc' it, as I have matters to set
tle at Perth, of iinjMirtance."
"With ail my heart," quoth Ralph.
"Xoo," said Ebcnezcr, "ye'll find a'
my folks easy to examine but one, and
him I reckon ye had better 11a meddle
wi. He has an old fashioned Scotch
war of answering one question by put
another, and maybe he'll affront ye.'
"Affront me," quoth the indignant
theologian "do you think he can foil
me wi' my ane tools'"
"Aweel," says his brother, "I've gie
ye fair warning, ye had better na ca'
him up."
The recusant was one Walter Simp
son, the Vulcan of the parish.
The gifted I.alph determined to si
lence him at once with a leading, un
answerable question. Accordingly,
after putting a variety of simple pre
liminary interrogations to the minor
clod)iopers, he at once with a loud
Yoiee cried out:
"Walter Simpson !"
"Here, sir," says Walter, "are ye a
wantin' me?"
" Attention, Sir. Now, Walter, can
you tell me how long Adam stood in a
state of innocence?"
"Ay, till he got a wife," instantly
cried the anvil hammerer. "But can
you tell me how long he stood after?"
"Sit down, Walter," said the much
discomfited divine.

According to an Austrian paper, two
new systems of telemeters have lately
come iuto use in Get man coast batteries.
They are based, like all others, on the
nrineinle of measuring a base line and
of anwie t the liase. in order to deter
mine, with the aid of tables, the height
of the triangle. Without giving details
of construction, it is simply stated that
the two observers communicate their
results obtained at either extremity by
electricity, and tbey are also in electric
communication with the place where
the commander of the battery is. in
the one instrument, made by Y'arlt, the
electricity merely communicates by tele
graphic signs the augies ouuiineu ; m
the other, constructed by Siemens and
Ualske, the electro current transmits
automatically, by an instrument sltn
ated at one point, the angle measured
hv the altitude of the other. But tne
latter, though made with great preci
ion. is. it is stated, liable to grave er

A French engineer, who has lately
been studying the circumstances under
which the slipping of the wheels of lo
comotives occurs, concludes mat it
both a more general and complex phen
omenon than has hitherto been sup
posed. He observed, that In going down
an incline of O.OOo in a metre, with
Seed of 120 kilometres per hour, that
the real velocity 01 tne coupieu wneei
was 300 turns Der minute, instead of
303 turns, which would correspond to
the rate of translation. He finds irom
further inauirv. that the slipping is al
most nil in ascending an incline, but
that it is also very notable always in
descending. It increases very rapidly
with the sueed. but appears to be great

ble bv any means, would, of course,
effect a considerable economy In the

By all means have children taught to
sing. This exercise, properly cultivated,
is one of the best means of strengthen
ing the lungs that can be devised. Many
persons with a deficient devel opement of
chest, by singing and v.ical training,
have enlarged the capacity of the respir
atory organ 50 and even 100 per cent.
As soon as children are old enough
reading and speaking may be added to
their exercises. The diffusion of air in
the lungs, and a demand for a larger
supply of it, are greatly enhanced by
vocal culture; and besides, If properly
taken, they are a valuable means of im
provement. As the lungs depend for
their nourishment on the blood, and as
this is good or bad, or well or Imper
fectly digested, it is very important that
the stomach be kept healthy, and an
abundance of good food be supplied to
all children. Thousands of children's
lungs are made weak by improper food,
Too much food clogs them, causing
colds and inflammation, resulting per
haps in sowing the seeds of consump
tion ; too little food, or of poor quality,
starves the longs, and they become
weakened for want of sufficient nour
ishment.

chopped parsley and onion, and a tea
spoonful of salt, pepper, and thyme,
mixed together in equal quantities, and

nntil soft enough to mash; mash them,
season them with salt and pepper, and
put lliein over the fish, which you must
take from the oven as a crust; return
the pie again to the oven to brown the

.What Voice Indlntt.
There are light, quick, surface voices
that involuntarily seem to utter the slang
"I won't do to tie to." The man's words
may assure you of his strength of pur
pose and reliability, yet his tone contra
dicts his speech.
Then there are low, deep, strong
voices, where the words seem ground
out, as if the man owed humanity a
grudge, and meant to pay it some day.
That man'sopponentsmay well tremble,
and his friends may trust his strength
of purpose and ability to act.
There is the coarse, boisterous, dicta
torial tone, invariably adopted by vul
gar persons who have not sufficient
cultivation to understand their own in
significance. There is the incredulous tone that is
lull of a covert sneer, or a secret "you-can't-dupe-me-sir"
intonation.
Then there is the whining, beseech
ing, voice, that says "sycophant" as
plainly as if it ottered the word. It
cajoles and flatters you ; its words say :
"I love you ; I admire you ; you are
everything that you should be."
Then there is a tender, musical, com
passionate voice, that sometimes goes
with sharp features (as tbey indicate
merely intensity of feeling) and some
times with blunt features, but always
with genuine benevolence.
If you are full of affectation aud pre
tence, your voice proclaims it.
If you are full of honesty, strength
and purpose, your voice proclaims it.
If you are cold and calm and firm and
consistent, or fickle and foolish and de
ceptive, your voice will be equally
truth,-telling.
You cannot change your voice from a
I natural to an unnatural tone without
Its being known that you are doing so.

Berv. icksliire legend, which, however
is palpably anachronical, attributes the
introduction of potatoes into Scotland
to that famous Wizard of the North
Sir. Michael Scott. The wizard and
the devil, being in partnership, took
lease 01 a larm on the Martoun estate
called Whitehouse. The wizard was to
manage the farm ; the devil managed
ttie capital. The produce was to be
divided as follows: The first year Sir
Michael was to have all that grew above
the ground and his partner all that
grew below; the second vear thei
shares were to be just the opposite way
His Satanic Majesty, as is usual in such
cases, was fairly overreached in his bar
gain; for the wizard cunniugly sowed
all the land in the first year with wheat
and planted it with potatoes the second
so that the devil got nothing for his
share but wheat stubble and potato tops
and this scourging rotation Sir Michael
continued until he had not only beggar
ed his partner, but exhausted the soil
In spite of this legend, however, we
must continue to give credit to Sir
Walter Raleigh for having been the in
troducer of potatoes into this country.
The first that tried them, we are told
fell into the very natural mistake of
eating the apples and disregarding the
roots.

Did von ever For-jet? little boy
went to his room oue night, said his
pravers verv properly, and went to bed
But he could not sleep. He tossed from
side to side, counted a hundred for
wards and backwards, recited the whole
of the multiplication table, long poems
and hymns, but try as he might lie could
not get to sleep, lie had neglected
something, and it weighed so
heavily upon his conscience that it was
impossible for hi 111 1 find rest. At list
be got up, groped his way down stairs
to bis mothers room, and timidly
knocked at the door.
"Who's there?" cried his father.
"It Is Met, pi. Please let me come
in?"
What do you want, Met? Are you
sick?"
"No. sir, I am not sick ; but I must
see mother."
At this the mother got up in the dark
and unfastened the door. When the
little boy found her, be threw his arms
around her neck and kissed her warm
ly. There were tears ou his cheeks,
and fears in his voice when he cried,
"Oh! mother, I went to bed without
kissing you. I forgot it mother ; indeed
I did: and I could not sleep when
thought of it."
You may be sure that his mother was
by this time In tears herself. They were
tears of gratitude to God for having
given her such an affectionate child.
She drew him towards ht-r ami kissed
him again aud again, and with a bless
ing upon him, dispatched him again to
bed. lbe burden on his conscience, lie
soon fell asleep; and never ag:tii, until
he left home, a man, to battle with the
great wicked world, did he forget to
kiss bis mother good-night.

'But you know,' said conscience, 'and

At the close of one of the perform

'Harry, do you ever kiss ladies?"
"No, ma Iain, I am not fond of kiss

"But, Harry, I am as old as your

Most trees put 011 their floral robes
in spring, and quicklv take them off
again, but this, with the usual contrar
iness of everything antipodean, begins
to bloom in September, and continues
gay aud fragrant for nearly three
months. The small white blossoms
thickly clustered in large bunches at
the end of every twig and branch fill
the air with a delicious perfume. The
fruit, which ripens in March and April
a period when fresh fruits are scarce.
is about the size of a pigeon's egg, re
sembling in shape and color a yellow
crab apple, nd grows in clusters of
five to thirty like bunches of amber
grapes. It is melting to the taste with
a racy blending of sweet and sour, like
the intermingling of a tart cherry with
a Juicy apple and contains from one to
four or five seeds. When first ripe it
has a sharp acid and In this st ite might
be best for culinary uses, but In a day
or two it beeomes milder and more
palateable and if left upon the tree tl
skin slightly shrivels and becomes dry
and perfectly sweet. This tendency to
shrivel and become mild and dry instead
of decaying as soon as ripe, as is usual
with similar fruits, makes it capable of
bearing transportation to a distant
market without injury. If carefully
gathered and kept cool and dry it may
be preserved for several weeks in perfect
condition.

The most remarkable pair of these
diminutive beings ever recorded was
that narrated and described by Marco
Polo in his travels through Tartary.
He says that at the court of the Khan
there were twins of the unheard of
stature of eleven and twelve inches in
height. They were 25 years of age.
The one twelve inches tall was a by
called Meereshal, an4 the other a girl
named Fatinia. They were perfectly
developed and well proportioned and
formed, and are described as extremely
intelligent. Tne Khan ordered them
to be married, and, for a wonder, the
union turned out to be prolific. Four
children were born to this diminutive
couple, three of whom attained the av
erage Tartar stature, while the fourth
and youngest grew to the gigantic stat
ure of six feet three inches. Meere
shal and Fatinia lived until their 45th
year, when Fatima sickened and died,
and was followed in a few months by
her husband. These dwarfs were the
smallest couple ever recorded.
All the readers of "Peveril of the
Peak" are acquainted with Sir Geof
frey Hudson, the favorite dwarf of
Charles I of England. He was born in
1018, and died in 1082,63 years of age.
He was a native of Oakham, and was
about 7 years of age ' when 13 inches
high, and was taken into the service of
the Duke of Buckingham. From the
age f 7 to 30 he grow 1.0 taller, but
afterwards shot up to three feet nine
inches. He was once served up in a
pie at a royal entertainment, from
whioh he suddenly sprang forth 111 full
armor. Sir v uiiain uavenpori rote
a poem on a battle between him and a
turkey cock, when a woman rescued
him from this furious antagonist. The
courtiers teased him about his story till
he challenged a young gentleman, Mr,
Crofts, who had offended him. Crofts
appeared at the rendezvous armed with
a squirt, which so enraged the dwarf
that a real duel ensued. The weapons
were pistols, and both parties were on
horseback to put them on a level. At
the first fire Geoffrey shot his antago
nist dead. He was afterwards taken
prisoner by a Turkish rover, and for a
time was a slave i 11 Barbary. At the
beginning of the civil war he was made
a captain iu the royal army. He died
in prison, in which he had been cast
for being privy to a Popish plot.
Muie. Theresa, called the Corsiean
fairy from the place of her birth, 1713,
was remarkable for physical syuiuieU
ry, beauty and mental vivacity. She
was exhibited in Loudon in 1773, and
was thirty-four inches nigh, aud her
weight was fifty-four pounds.
The Dutch dwarf, Wybrand Lolkis,
was bom 1730, and possessed mechani
cal taste and skill. He had success as a
watchmaker, and when sixtv years of
age was twenty-seven inches high and
weighed fifty-seven pounds.
Prince Coiobi, a Slessing dwarf, who
was exhibited in Dresden in 1857, was
twenty-live pounds iu weight anil
tweutv-live inches high at the age of
21.
General Tom Thumb (Charles
Stratum), the celebrated American
dwarf, was born in Bridgeort, Conn
in 1837. His parents are the average
height, well formed and healthy. At
the age of five years he was not two
feet high, and weighed less than six
teen Miuiids.
Lucia Zarate and General Mite, ter
med the "Midgets," are, however, the
most diminutive species of the human
race ever seen in modern days. They
exceed all their predecessors in dwarf-
i-hncss, and are without peers as kings
an 1 queens of the dwarf. General
Mite is fourteen years of age and
weighs nine Hunds, while Lucia Za
rate, who is of the same age, is scarcely
live pounds. They are the tiniest spe
cimens of humanity living.
Tbe Scotch and Strung Drink.
The Germans drink more than the
Italians, and tho Scotch immeasurably
more than the Spaniards. There must
be something wrong either in these
facts or In the teetotal doctrine wiih
which they so little agree. The case of
Scotland is a very peculiar one; for
while there is uo country where there
is more drinking or drunkenness than
in Scotland, so there is none whose
inhabitants show a greater capacity for
getting on in the world, or which In
proportion to its population, produces
so large a number of eminent men.
Some have thought that tbere must be
two different descriptions of Scotchmen
those who drink hard and those who
work hard. But there is good reason
for believing that the two kinds of
activity are often found united in the
siine individual.
Encouragement for the Feeble.
So long as tha failing embers of vitality are
capable of being re-kindled into a warm and
genial glow, just so lorn; there is hope for tbe
weak aud emaciated invalid. Let him not,

from this aud from the further fact that there
is a restorative most potent in renewing the
