"Watyr for Stock. It Is well known
that sheep will live on very dry pasture
where there i no living water So will
horses. To do so, however, they are
obliged to feed at night or early In the
day when the dew lies on the grass. If
allowed the chance they will drink lib
erally and be far better for it. While
it is true that sheep and horses, or even
cattle, will get along with little or no
water, when the dew is heavy, they
suffer seriously tor want of It. It should
be supplied even to sheep so they may
take it at will. If water is handy sheep
drink little at a time. Horses also do
this, where water is handy. Cattle
usually All themselves when they drink.
This subject of water for stock is brought
fresh to mind by the following by Mr.
J. J. Mechi, of Tiptreo hall, England,
a thoroughly practical in an and a good
farmer. Upon the subject of water for
sheep he says : What an unprofitable
mistake it is to suppose that sheep do
not require water. We invariably give
them the opportunity of settling that
question for themselves and it is sur
prising to see how much they drink,
especially milk giving ewes, and also
all sheep when eating cake, meal, etc.,
in addition to their green food. I at
tribute my trifling loss in sheep and
lambs to their having constant access to
water by means of an iron tank water
cart (Croskill'g) which I have used for
thirty odd years."
Whkx Should a Cow Dry Up. Be
fore the Soleebury, (Bucks county)
Farmer's club last week, the question
as "to what quantity or yield per day
dors it cease to be profitable to continue
milking a cow for the product of but
ter." was DougDt up ana answerea vy
Merrick Reeder. He thought it would
pay to milk within four or five weeks
of cal vine for one quart per day. There
was a difference in cows, and no regu
lar rule could be established. Isac
Ilambleton would prefer letting a cow
run 6 or 8 weeks without milking; he
thought it would be better for both cow
and calf. David K. Reeder had owned
a cow he could never keep dry up until
after she was seven vear old. She had
good strong growing calves, and was
herself thrifty. Wallace I'axson thought
it would be better to milk a heifer as
lone as possible, as it would have a
tendency to lengthen her time of milk-
iog in the future.
Smoking ix tbb Bars. "Xo smok-
ine" ouebt to be posted in every barn
There is not much difference in having
a horse thief around the stable and a
man cleaning off horses with a pipe or
cigar in his mouth ; and there is no
hired man much meaner man tne one,
who, when his employer comes around,
slips his pipe into his pocket or holds
his hand over it. All such fellows
should be paid off and started off. As
for the proprietor himself going into
the barn with a pipe in his mouth, no
complaint can be made, but it his estab
lishment Dura up, noooay snouia cry
unless it be his wife and children
Lightning, iiicediaries and spontaneous
combustion combined do not cause as
many barns to be burned as the pipe,
and generally, at least one good horse
goes too.
A Danger op Ckxirt. In retentive
soils celery often suffers considerably
from damp lodgings in and around the
hearts after being earthed up, and in
some places many plants are useless
from this cause. The best way we have
ever found of obviating or checking
this tendency to decay is to plant on
the surface, and blanch with ashes,
burnt earth, or old spent tan, first tying
the plants carefully up, and then pla
cing the ashes or whatever material is
used around and among the plants and
ridge, pressing it around them with the
hands. Besides preserving the crop
from premature decay, ashes keep the
slugs and snails at a distance, and dur
ing severe weather less covering will
suffice to keep out frost.

How to Bleed a Horsk. Bleeding is
generally done in the jugular vein with
a broad-bladed lancet; and when the
vein is sufficiently pressed and secured,
so as to cause it to swell, then the point
of the lancet is sent in with the left
hand, and, cntting upwards, makes all
the opening necessary. When sufficient
blood is taken the cut ought to be
squeezed together and fastened with a
pin. By piessing the vein below the
wound the blood will shoot out in a
stream and fall clear into the bucket
ready to receive it.
Galls op the Skin. Where the skin
is chafed or galled by the harness, it
should be washed with salt water, and,
when dry, painted with spirits of tui
pentine. This will heal the raw spott,
and keep off the flies. To prevent galls,
scrape and wipe off with a wet cloth
the harness where it presses closely
upon the skin. Pads are to be avoided.
A colliir or other part that will admit
of a pad under it, fits badly, and is
almost certain to produce galls.
Submarine Cablet.
Every one who has at all studied
oceanic telegraphy perfectly under
stands the dangers to which the shore
ends of the communicating wires are
exposed from the action of currents,
the anchors of ships, c. But the gen
eral idea prevailed that when the cable
was laid in the gloomy depths of the
ocean it was in safety. Such, however,
is not the ca.se, for the inhabitants of
those regions seem to reent the intru
sion. In many cases, owing to the ine
qualities of the bottom of the sea, the
wires cannot rest wholly on the bed,
but in some places hang in festoons.
Then they are liable to accidents from
the larger denizens of the sea, among
which we may particularly mention the
sutifish. That peculiar but little known
animal is nearly circular, of a brilliant
silvery white, and at night emits a
powerful phosphorescent light, whence
its name probably arose. When swim
ming it turns round like a wheel, and
moves with great rapidity. It grows
to an enormous size, often attaining
four feet in diameter, and some of them
are said even to reach eight feet. Spec
imens have been caught weighing 500
pounds. It is found in all seas from the
Arctic to the Antarctic Circle. Where
the tail is inordinary fishes this curious
creature has a sort of flattening in its
circular shape from which bony spines
project. Xot long since an interruption
occurred in a cable, an 1 on examination
it was found that it had been penetrated
by one of the caudal spines of the sun
fish. Even when the wire lies quiet at
the bottom it is not safe, for a species of
marine weevil attacks the gutta-percha
and gradually destroys the conductivity.
But the most curious instance of damage
inflicted on a cable is that which lately
befell the one from Portugal to Brazil.
A fault having been found, the tests
were applied, and the precise spot in
dicated. The wire was fished up and
was discovered to be broken. Inoneof
the ends was entangled a large whale.
The monster was covered with parasites
and in attempting to free itself from its
tormentors had broken the cable, and
then managed so to twist itself in the
coils of one end that it was held fast as
a prisoner, and, not being able to rise
to the surface for air, was drowned.

SCIENTIFIC.
Catt Steel without Crucible. A new
method of producing cast steel, which
dispenses with fusion and conversion
in crucibles of melting pots, has recent
ly been brought to public notice. On
account of the superior cheapness and
quality of the' metal, the articles are
preferably manufactured from Siemens
Martin or Bessemer steel, rolled or
forged into the required form, then,
finished as to shape, they are placed in
iron boxes, and recarbonized by the
ordinary cementation process. It is
probable that the repeated heatings and
workings of the mewl during the pro
cess ot shaping tb article so thorough
ly expel tne occluded gases, the reten
tion of which in the iron invariably
creates blisters in all other cemented
steel, that a smooth and uniform sur
face may, in many instances, result;
but though this method may be exceed
ingly economical for the production of
a certain clasa or small articles, it may
reasonably be doubted if the character
of the grain of the steel can Oe uader
perfect control, and whether the pro
cess would appiy to manuiacturea
articles of any considerable size, or to
those of unequal thickness or parts

however, may determine that some of
these objections may be overcome.
Prof. Paley has raised the question
whether the blackness of St. Paul's ca
thedral, and many other English city
edifices, arises, as nas hitherto Deen
supposed, from smoke. Having ob
served at Cambridge stones in nowise
exposed to the action or smoke similarly
blackened, he learned on inquiry that,
under a strong microscopic investiga
tion of scrapings from such stones, the
darkness bad been conclusively proved
to be due to a kind of lichen, which is
peculiar to sandstone, and that it is al
ways in proportion to the absence of
the sun's rays, and that when a stone is
much exposed to sun rays there is no
darkness. Having examined a curious
lichen which grows in circular patches
on Peterborough cathedral, he round
that it bad the property of extracting
quantities or lime rrom the texture ol
tne stone. The professor thinks that
science may probably suggest a course
to neutralize this vegetable blackening
process. But science and authority
hand in hand ought to go further, and
quash the smoke of towns, which is
waste of fuel, working an annual out
lay of millions in consequent washing
and cleaning.
Xnc Ezplotice. A new explosive
agent has just been discovered by Pro
fessor Emerson Reynolds in the labora
tory of Trinitv College, Dublin. It is
a mixture of 75 per cent, of chlorate of
potassium with 2o per cent, oi a nody
called sulphurea. It is a white powder
and can be ignited at a rather lower
temperature than ordinary gunpowder,
while the effects it produces are even
more remarkable. It has been success
fully used in small cannon, but its dis
coverer thinks it will be of more service
for blasting, shells, torpedoes, and like
purposes. tule ordinary gunpowder
leaves about 57 per cent solid residuum
after explosiou, this leaves but about 45
per cent. It can be produced at a mo
ment a notice by a comparatively rougn
mixture of the ingredients, which can
be transported and handled without
risk so long as they are separate. The
sulphurea discovered Ty Professor Rey
nolds can be procured in large quanti
ties from a product of gas manufacture
which is now wasted.

A Loaf of Hrrad.
One of the must atrocious crimes
recorded in modern history was com
mitted at Liangibby, Monmouthshire,
England, on the night of the 16tb of
July. A family of quiet farm laborer,
named Watkins, consisting of father,
mother, two daughters and a son, were
murdered, their persons plundered, and
the little cottage they bad occupied set
on fire. The fire, however, died out,
leaving the traces of the murderer's
work. The cottage door was open on
account of the oppressive heat. The
three children had been put to bed. The
parents were eating a frugal supper by
the light of a candle. The assassin first
stunned them by blows on their heads
and then cut their throats. Among the
things he took with him were a loaf of
bread, some of the works of a clock and
several articles of clothing. He even
carried off a scarf that was about the
neck of the murdered husband, through
which was a cut made in stabbing him
in the throat. Having collected bis
booty, he set fire to the cottage and de
parted. Beyond question the murderer
was a Spanish sailor named Joseph
Garcia, who bad been released from the
Usk jail the morning before the tragedy.
He hastily left the prison on foot,
though the warden offered him money
to pay his fare to a seaport if he would
wait a fi;w moments at the gate. During
the night and day after the murders
were committed he wandered about the
country asking for water and food and
inquiring the way to certain places.
He was suspected of being a dissolute
character, and the local police were
asked to watch his movements before It
was known that an awful crime had
been committed. Arriving at Newport
at night he was arrested while drinking
at a public fountain, just after asking a
policeman the way to a railway plat
form. As he could give no satisfactory
account of himself or his business, the
policeman took him into custody. On
examining him blood was found on his
clothes, a knife was in his pocket, while
in the bundle be carried were a loaf ol
bread and several articles of male and
female apparel. At the Inquest that
took place two days after these articles
were fully identified aa belonging to
the father and mother by the only sur
viving child, a grown op daughter,
who was at service in the vicinity. The
works of the clock found on the person
of the prisoner fitted those remaining
In the case, while the loaf of bread in
his pocket contained dents correspond
ing with those in a baking tin left on
the supper table. In short, the assassin
had taken witb him sufficient evidence
of his crime. No person saw these
murders committed ; no one even saw
the accused enter the bumble home
where the bloody acts were performed.
But the indentations in a loaf of home
made bread told a story that no one
could refute, and no amount of cross
questioning could bring in doubt.
BOMESTIC.
Tomatoes. This is one of the most
healthful as well as the most universally
liked of all vegetables. Its healthful
qualities do not depend on the mode of
preparation for the table; it may be
eaten thrice a day, cold or hot, cooked
or raw, alone or with salt and pepper
or vinegar, or all together, to a like ad
vantage and to the utmost that can be
taken witb an appetite. Its .healthful
qualities arise from its slight acidity, in
this making it as valuable perhaps as
berries, cherries, currants and similar
articles; it is highly nutritious, but Its
chief virtue consists in its tendency to
keep the bowels free, owing to the seeds
which it contains, they acting as
mechanical irritants to the inner coat
ing of the bowels, causing them to
throw out a larger amouut of fluid
matter than they would otherwise have
done, to the effect of keeping the mucous
surfaces lubricated and securing a
greater solubility of the Intestinal con
tents, precisely on the principle that
figs and white mustard seeds are so
frequently efficient in removing con
stipation in certain forms of disease.
The tomato season ends with the frost,
it the vines are pulled up before frost
eotnes, and are hung up in a well venti
lated cellar with the tomatoes hanging
to them, the "love-apple" will continue
ripening until Christmas. The cellar
should not be too dry nor too warm.
The knowledge of this may be improved
to great practical advantage for the
benefit of many who are invalids, and
who are fond of the tomato.
Pocket Book Rolls. Take one pint
of milk and warm it sufficiently to melt
a tables poonful of butter, add a little
salt, and let It cool so as to scald the
flour; then stir in enough flour to make
a stiff batter, and also two heaping
tablespoon fuls of brewer's yeast, or
half a teacup of home-made yeast. Let
It rise over night; knead it for half an
hour, the next morning, adding only
enough flour to roll it out, flouring the
hands and rolling board very lightly.
The object is to make the dough as light
as possible. Roll verv thin and cut In
rounds with a tumbler or tin cutter;
place each round upon a flat tin ; have
some melted butter at band, and, with
a cloth or feather, rub over the top and
lay another round on tup of it. Let
them rise until very light and bake in
a quick oven for twenty minutes. They
will pull in halves very easily.

To Make Bar Soap. Six pounds soda
ash, three pounds unslacked lime, eight
giillens water; put into a kettle and
when boiling hot, strain and return to
the kettle; add twelve pounds of clean
grease; boil slowly three hours; add
one-half pound finely pulverized borax,
dissolved in a little hot water, stir well
and let cool in the kettle or turn into
wooden moulds well soaked in water.
Cracklings or meat trimmings will do
for this soap if allow lor waste, but be
careful not to allow too much, thereby
getting too much grease in.
The best soap for cleaning paint fs
made by taking oneounce of pulverized
borax, one pound ot the best brown
soap, cut in small pieces, and three
quarts of water; put all In a kettle, set
it on the back part of the stove or range
un:il the soap is dissolved, stirring fre
quently. It must not come to a boil;
use a piece of old, soft, white flannel.
It cleans paint without Injuring it; it
is also beneficial for the hands, and
better than any other soap.
Scald and peel a sufficient quantity

minutes. Drop a few lumps of butter
on the tomatoes and serve.
Tomato Bctthr. To seven pounds of
very ripe tomatoes, take three pounds
light brown sugar, half a pint of
vinegar, and hair an ounce or cinnamon ;

A bare, paved space, inclosed by a wall ;
three hundred and sixty-five stones cov

opened each day for the reception of the
dead movable crane with a metal cof
fin suspended by a chain. Such is the
set-scene, such the properties of the
last act of the tragedy ! Every evening
at half-past six o'clock one of the awful
holes is opened ; the corpses brought for
interment are baulsd with indecent
roughness from their pauper shells; the
priest sprinkles them with holy water,
and hurriedly gabbles the prayer for
the dead. Then each in its turn Is
thrown Into the box attached to the
crane; the bottom of the box gives way
on the pressure of a spring, and the
body crashes down to join the heap of
corruption below. Laughing boys and
weeping mourners press to the pit's
edge to gaxeatthe ghastly sight; the
creaking of the machine mingles with
cries of despair. A crowd of lookers-on
eagerly note the number of the dead,

HUMOROUS.
The Joke Aldirmanic. A good story
is told of a gentleman who was once an
Alderman, In regard to the manner in
which he paid a certain bill. The boy
who brought him his daily pnper one
morning presented his bill for 35 cents.
The Alderman looked at the boy In
silence for a moment, and then inquired
in a very dignified tone:
"Is that bill correct r"
"Yes sir."
"Will you swear to It?"
"Yes, sir," says the boy, grinning.
An oath was taken in due form and
the Alderman held out his hand and
said quietly:
"Fifteeu cents."
"Sir?" says the boy in astonishment,
"Your bill was for 35 cents," said the
dispenser of justice, gravely. "The
charge for administering the oath is 50
cents, so you owe me 15 cents."
The joke was so good, that, after
hearing the lad In surprise for a short
time, the Alderman gave him $1 and
told him to be more careful in future.

About the time he had his melon picked

"I thought you wanted that money to

President folk's Cocktails.
Judge Carpenter, of California, tells
this anecdote of James K. Polk's term
of the Presidency : Peik was a tern
perate but not abstinent man, of very
regular habits. He rose early at the
White House, and had his servant bring
punctually a very large cocktail In a
tall glass, of which he drank just one
half and left the other half for his re
turn from his morning walk. On this
walk he required the company of Mar
ihal Polk, his nephew. Young Polk
was also fond of a cocktail, though his
uncle did not know it and would not
countenance it. However, they would
hardly have left the bouse on the dally
occasion, when Marshal, pretending he
had forgotten something, would slip
back and drink nearly all the remain
ing half of the cocktail and pout in
some water. After returning from the
walk President Polk repaired to his
chamber in a brown political study,
and seizing the tumbler gulped down
the water and sediment, and then ex
claimed "Paugh!" This continued
with regularity, and the cheat was
never found out. Polk now lies before
his dwelling In Nashville, interred in
his yard, and Marshal Polk has sot
been heard from since the beginning of

the ship which took them away return
ed, he went to the captain and told him
be was going to America also. The
captain advised him to stay In County
Cavan, but bis resolution was taken,
and he came to New York. His small
statute was a sore trial to him at first
He was sensitive on the subject, and
when he ventured Into the streets a
large crowd would follow him, and their
curiosity so annoyed him that in sheer
desperation he at last made his way to
his mend the captain aud told him be
wanted to go back to Ireland. The cap
tain soothed his wounded feelings and
told htm that when once be became
known persons would stop annoying
htm. So he we it back and stolidly took
no notice of the attention be attracted.
He has lived in New York nearly twenty-five
years, and for eight years has
been employed on the sti eet-cleaning
force at full pay. "I can sweep two
piles to any of the others' one," he said,
sturdily, straightening his little shoul
ders. Gentlemen some-times offer him
money but he refuses all alms. P. T.

hung all awry, loitered behind as the
dusty crowd moved out of the gates of
31 1 Adna the other day, after they bad
scattered their flowers and done honors
to the dead. Dreamily she gazed after
them, her eyes filled with a far away
look of tenderness, until the last one
had dlsapeared and the rattle of the
drums had died away, then she turned
and vaguely scanned the mounds that
rose about her, clutching tighter the
fast fading bunch of dandelions and
grave grass that ber chubby band held.
An old man passed by and patted her
curly head, as he spoke her name, but
she only shrank back further, and when
be told a passing stranger that the little
one's father was one ho went on a bat
tle-field and never came back, there was
only a tear-drop on the child's eye to
tell that she heard or knew the story.
When they had gone she moved on
further to a neglected, empty lot, and
kneeling down she picked up a mound
of earth, whispering as she patted it
down and smoothed it with her chubby
band :
This won't be so awfully big as the
others, I guess, but maybe it'll be big
enough so that God will see it and think
papa is buried here.
Carefully she trimmed th.; sides with
stray grasses she plucked, murmuring
on: 'And maybe it will grow so that
it will be like the rest In two or three
years; and then maybe papa will some
time ome back and '
But she paused as though It sudden
ly dawned upon ber young mind that he
rested where the southern breezes whis
per "unknown," and the tear drops that
sprang to her eyes moistened the little
bunch of dandelion that she had plant
ed among the grasses on the mound she
bad reared.
When the sexton passed that way at
night as be went to close the gates he
found the little one fast asleep, with her
nead pillowed on the mound, and when
he roused her she started up and look
ing dreamily around her for a moment
and smilingly faltered:
' les I'll go home now, for God says
he will watch papa's gravi.'
Better WTiistle than HTkme. As I was
taking a walk early in September, I
not ced two little hoys on their way to
school. The smaller one tumbled and
fell, and though he was not much hurt,
he began to whine in a babyish way, not
a regular, roaring boy cry, as though he
was hair killed, hut a little, cross whine.
The older boy took bis hand in a kind
and fatherly way, and said :
"O never mind, Jimmy, don't whine;
it is a great deal better to whistle."
And he began in the merriest way a
cheerful boy whistle.
Jimmy tried to join in the whistle.
"I can't whistle as nice as you, Char
lie," said he; "my lips won't pucker
up good."
"Jh. that la became you have not tot
all the whine out yet," said Charlie;
"out you try a minute, and the whistle
will drive tne whine away."
And so be did. and the last I saw or
heard of the little fellows they were

An Irish Kissing Conaeaty.
On the main road In Ranelagb, a sub
nrb cf Dublin, dwell a grocer and a doc
tor in houses nearly opposite each other.
One evening, about three weeks ago,
the doctor sent his housemaid across the
road for some whisky. It was past
closing time, and she knocked and
knocked again without having the door
of the grocery opened unto her. While
she was standing there, the grocer him
self came up the road, and saying "Good
night, Jenny," tried to snatch a kiss
from her. The maiden's sense ot pro
priety was outraged, and she at once
returned to the doctor's house and In
formed her mistress of the proceedings
over the way. 1 he matron promptly
ordered out the reserves. The doctor
himself crossed the road and attempted
to batter down the grocer's outworks.
The grocer opened the door, and after a
hot are or oaths slammed it In the ene
my's face. Instantly the whole neieh
borhood was aroused by shrieks of
agony, and a crowd speedily gathered,
The doctor was to be a prisoner. His
hand was on the doorpost when the
door was slammed, and he was pinned.
The besieged refused to open the door,
and It was not until the neighbors ef
fected an entrance in the rear that the
agonized doctor was rescued. He was
carried borne and his injuries were so
serious as to render tbe amputation of
a mumo and two lingers necessary;
and even then erysipelas set In.

The Liver is tbe imperial organ of the whole

During the warm season tbe nerves become
enfeebled and tbe whole system debilitated.
The stomach loses its power of digestion, the
liver becomes congested and sluggish, causing
constipation or diarrhea, dysentery and chol
era morons ; and the prevalence of more or
less malaria at this season engenders avus,
bilious or typhoid fevers, often of senoua im
port. To avoid these consequences, take,
night and morning, a lablespoonful ot Hoof
land's German Bitters ; it is a splendid tonic
and alterative, that will restore the appetite
and digestion, tone the nerves, regulate the
liver and strengthen and build up the whole
system to withstand the summer neat and all
lie baneful influences.
