Salmon flatting. The angling on Loch Tay Scotland, is chiefly done by trolling the minnow. Seated in the stern of his boat, the angler has on either side of him a stout trolling rod similar to a Thames spinn ing rod, only longer and stronger- To each of these U fixed a heavy reel hold ing one hundred or one hundred and twenty yards or more of stout tolling line. A good length is requisite, as a Loch Tay salmon when first struck will often make a rush of sixty or seventy yards in length, and if you have some forty or fifty yards of line out at the time, as is often needed, an active fish will soon clear your reel out and break away; 130 yards, therefore, is better than 100. To the end of this is fastened a twisted gut trace some three or four yards long, furnished with as many swivels, and terminating in a couple of strands of stoutish siugle salmon gut. To this is fixed a phantom minnow of medium size, a blue or a yellow one be ing used on either rod, so that the fish may have a choice of color, as they will often run on one to the exclusion oi the other, being capricious in their tastes. The open loch now being reached, forty or fifty yards of line are paid out from either rod. The rods are fixed at a right angle, projecting over the boat's side. A good sized stone or a lump of lead of two or three pounds weight is taken; the line is wrapped around it ouce, and the stone is laid up on the seat of the boat, holding the line down. When a fish strikes the stone is shaken off and the fish hooks itself. And now you have rowed for many a mile under the lofty shadow of Ben Lawlers, but nota fish visited your rod. Possibly for two or thre days you have been out of luck, nothing but an odd kelt or a wretched pike or a hill trout or two have come to look at you. Old Itonald, your chief boatman, rows along with a subdued steady swing, as if he were used to waiting, as in truth he is; half asleep aud half awake heap pears, but he is quite ready for action at any instant nevertheless. You are just leaving the point, aud thinking it no better than all the rest of the lake and the whole thing a delusion, a snare and a swindle, when "spang" the big stone bounds into the air. "There he is," yells Donald, as the terrible screech of the reel heralds a run at last. Down goes the novel, the cigar goes into your pocket, or over board; the rod is grasped upright in your hand, and is bending like a bow as the strong fish hurries off at top Fpeed for the middle of the lake, while Donald carefully reels up and lays aside the other rod, so as to lie quite i clear for the play. Forty or fifty yards are run out when the line seems to lilt in the water towards the surface, and the next moment a huge silver column almost three feet and a half long, shoots out of the water a good yard or more, ami falls back with tremendous splash. "Jlon, but lie's a proper tusshe, Ton," says Donald; "canny wi'm canny; he's a lepier" and out dashes the fish again with another wild but futile leap for liberty. Then he plunges down, down, down to the very bottom of the lake, forty fathoms down. How do you feel now? Xo more laziness no despondence ? Xo, indeed ; excitement is wound up and turned to top concert pitch as the mad fish bounds over the wave, or cuts the depths in forty or fifty yards rushes time after time, till you wonder at his strength and endur ance. But everything must have ac end, and after fifteen or twenty min utes he begins to slacken and run short er and shorter, and Donald takes up a stout stick of some three or four teet long, with a bloodthirsty-looking butchers' hook tied to it, yclept "the gaff." takes off the cork, feels the point, and bides his time, watchfully directing Xo. 2, who takes the oars. OHce or twice the huge fish comes roll ing over near the boat, but he manages to wallop off again to a more respectful distanoe, till a dextrous turn of the oar brings him within reach. Donald leans over. There is a flash in the wa ter, a splash, and a mighty flopping as the noble fellow is translated from his native element to yours. A tap on the head soon quiets his struggles, and a lovely fish not forty-eight hours in the lake, and weighing thirty-two pounds by the steelyard, is placed to your cred it. "Whoop!" resounds across the lake, and a solemn libation of the liq uor which cheersand inebriates too, if taken in quantities, is poured out to his manes. Lake Lobior, An officer of the Russian service, Colonel Prjwalky, has published an account of an expedition made in 1877 to this almost un known lake of Central Asia, and although Baron Kichthofon, one of the highest geo graphical authorities in the world, denies that he reached the true Lobnor, the Colonel's story is sufficiently interesting and important to secure attention. Russian and Chinese troops are, as our readers are aware, face to face with one another in Central Asia in the province of Kuldja, lately in relielllon against the Chinese but now reduced to submission. With the prospects of peace and war in that quarter we have not hing at presit to da In 1871 Colonel Prjwalky left Kuldja and traveled southeast and he struck a great river, the Tarim, which drains a wide tract of country to the north of Gobi district, and finally flows southward, losing itself in the sands of the desert, or at last collecting such waters as it has left in a shallow lake on the 9i th degree of west longitude and the 4nh parallel. The lake lies in a southwest and northeast direction, alxmt sixty miles long and fifteen wide. It is nearly covered with reeds, and appears to le subject to I periodical clianges of level. Its waters are clear and sweet excepting aear the shore, and it is alive with fish and wild fowL Its inhabitants are its most strange charact eristics. They seem to approach the an cient lake-dwellers in their habits, for they live on the hike itself in dwellings con structed of reeds. The whole region is un known to modern explorers, and Colonel Prjwalsky has brought to light many facts wholly new to modern geographers. After reeling an accouut of the Colonel's adven tures one is inclined to lose patience with a stay-at-home geographer, however emi nent, who questions the accuracy of his conclusions. Colonel Prjwalky has left St. Petersbnrg to make another trip in Central Asia. He will proceed by Orenburg, Omsk and Semipalatinsk to the Chinese frontier, thence to llaini, Hansu and Lassa. From ! Lassa he intends to reach the Himalaya by the Brahmapootra. Returning thence to Lassa, he will visit Khotan, Kashgar, and cross the intervening plateaux to Russian Khokand. The journey is to occupy two years. While reviewing the subject of Russian exploration in Central Asia we may mentiou also accounts of two ancient cities, Mistorian and Meshed, probably re lics of Khowrasinian times. The former of those cities must have lieen one of the most important in Central Asia. Its aqueducts cover a great tract of country, and one of them was traced some forty miles (sixty five verts) to its Bourse. The building ma terial appears to have been for the most part brick, which are still in perfect form and uninjured by the passage of untold centu ries, bearing carved work and inscriptions and sometimes adored decorations and ara besques executed with considerable skill : and taste. AGKICULTUBE. Mil E ixc One would think that the subject of milking is sufficiently well understood at the present time without any further instructions with reference to it, but never was there a greater mistake made. Hundreds of dairymen begin to complain that their cows are d.ying up early while they have good feed and plenty of it. We were talk ing with one of the leading dairymen with reference to the matter, the other day, aud his opinion coincided with ours in this respect, and he claimed that more cows were spoiled by being improperly bandied than by poor food. To get the greatest yield of milk the cows should be milked regularly, quiet ly and thoroughly, yet quickly. Gen erally speaking, twice a day is often enough, but there are cases when it be comes necessary to milk three times, but these are comparatively rare. At six o'clock, morning and evening, is as near the risrlit time, all things consid ered, as any. Milking should be done quietly, without any scolding or kick ing or otherwise hurting or exciting the animal, and she will then habitu ally come gladly for the operation, stand quietly and let down her full flow. It should be done thoroughly, as nearly as possible always by the same person. There is a great differ ence iu milkers; some will get the last drop, while others will leave the rich est part in the udder. It has been proved to the satisfaction of all good dairymen that the strippings will yield from ten to twenty per cent, more cream than the rest of the milk; how important it is then that the cow should be milked clean. Besides, if she is not made to yield all that she has daily, she will dry up sooner, and gradually fail in the quantity until it decreases perceptibly. Cows should never be hurriedly driven to and from the pas ture as it agitates aud heats the milk, if before milking, aud tends to make them wild after the milk has been drawn. We had an opportunity of seeing the results of a change in the management of cows on I'leasant View Farm a short time ago. The proprie tor, Mr. Southworih, met with a severe accident, which confined him to the house for nearly a week, during which time strangers were employed m attend the cows, and, although they were treated kindly, still it was different from their usual treatment, and the milk pail showed a much smaller yield, and the cows themselves became rest- less and refused to "give down as formerly, although, as before stated, they were treated with the greatest kindness and milked by experienced nanus. rui wiieu ne wa.- ame iu nunc to the barn again, the cows soon filled the pails as usual, and that, too, with no change ot food.

KegaKIhng borers in peach trees, says the Country Gentleman, it is useful to heap a peek of dry slacked lime about the peach trees after the grubs had been picked out and before the earth is drawn back to the tree.

We were laying off some miles away before Madras, on the steamship Su matra, which had broken her shaft just as we left Madras for Ceylon, when a boat put off from the shore with a party of natives to sell us fruits, and among them was one of their most famous men of mystery. He came on board, and it was suggested that he should perform there. "Spreading some sand on the deck, he planted it in a mango-seed from which he raised a mango tree some eighteen inches high. "Then he did some surprising things with a yenemous cobra, which he car ried rolled in the cloth about his loins, concluding with a very clever trick, in which two pigeons, one black and one white, which were made to vanish at will, to change from one basket to an other. The Captain urged Robert Hel ler who was on board to do something to bother the man, who was very con conceited about himself. "So Robert suddenly asked to look at one of the pigeons. He took the white one. With a movement like lightning he pulled the head off the bird. Ue held the head in one hand, the quiver ing, struggling, dying bird in the other, and then threw them overboard. "The commotion was frightful. The poor native shrieked and cursed, and gave vent to his rage in the choicest Bengalese. The mighty white magician looked with merry eyes at the juggler's dis tress. Then when the row was at its height aud I began to feel uneasy at the prank,' Robert suddenly raised his hands oh, those beautiful, white.won- der-working hands. He mysteriously beckoned, as if summoning the dove from its watery grave, and pointed up ward. There was the white dove cir. cling round in the air; in one moment it alighted on the piece of carpet before its despondent owner, unharmed. Curses gave way to profound salaams and prayers that the great white magi cian might never die.

Almost every family has a spare bed. It is generally in a spare room, remote from the lirin room, where it would never feel the influence of any fire that would usually De kindled; or in a chamber with arrangement for warming it in winter. Into this spare room and spare bed company are put, frequently without the least thought that there is the slightest danger of injuring their guests. This is done with the kindest intentions, out of respect for their friends, who they wish might enjoy the best they have. Strong, healthy persens, in the vigor of life, might not experience anv serious inconvenience Not so the feeble or aged. Many under these circumstances have taken a cold that has brought on severe cough sometimes congestion of the lungs, and even death itself. It ought to be known that an unoccupied bed in a cold room in winter not only becomes cold, but also gathers moisture, and is dangerous to the most robust and healthy, but es pecially so the aged and Innrni. .Noue are more exposed to this danger than the ministers who preach with two or more churches alternately. Sometimes they arrive at the house where they in tend to spend the night late in the day thoroughly fatigued and chilled; or at the close of the labors of the sabbath are completely prostrated. In either case the system requires rest and com fort, and is in a jioor condition to be taxed with an extra effort to keep up animal neat in a cold, damp bed, an the result is a sleepless night, cold and hoarseness in the morning, pro tracted cough, congestion or consump tion and death. These dangers are easily remedied. The least trouble, perhaps, where it can be done, is to kindle a nre in the room or in an ad joining room, and open the bed an hour or two before it is occupied ; or it may be warmed by a hot soap-stone bottles oi not water, or the old-fash ioned " warming-pan," or by applying neat in any way that a thoughtful woman can find out. Extra quilts and comforters will add no protection. The cold and dampness aud dangers are in the bed. Poisoxors Cheese.

To those who are attached to the pipe it may be a matter of interest to know how their last puff or draught of smoke may be as fresh as the first. It is well known, that smoking in the usual man ner, the last portion of the tobacco be comes damp from the presence of oil or nicotine drawn from the heated tobacco above which causes a sickening and nauseating effect bitter to the taste, and unpleasant and unhealthy as compared with the first half of a well filled pipe. A contemporary has found the follow ing to be effectual in giving a good, fresh smoke from first to last. Place a small quantity of tobacco in the bot tom of the bowl, light it, ar.il when well afire, fill the pipe, and before each draught, give a light pull outward through the stem, which causes the to bacco to burn upward, all below being consumed. This is a sensible way of smoking the time honored pipe.

A platform scale in constant equilibrium has been invented in France. On a stand next to the platform are placed the register ing cylinder, the clockwork, .which rotates slowly, and tha double wheel work, which determine the state of constant equilibrium. The principle by which the equilibrium is restored as soon as it has been disturbed by some cause or other, is this: if there placed on an ordinary balance a glass full of water, counterbalanced by weight, and if there be dipped into that glass a mass, whatever it may be, hang ing from a thread, the equilibrium will be destroyed, in proportion as the plunger penetrates more or less into the liquid, it will more or less disturb the equilibrium. It is such a plunger that has been resorted to to establish the state of constant equilibrium on the platform scale in question. Under the little platform of the instrument is cylindrical vase, three-fourths filled with water, and a cylindrical plunger of which the supporting thread is rolled over a pulley, is lowered or hoisted by the wheels of the pulley as soon as the large platform experiences any aug mentation or diminution of weight The equilibrium restores itself imme diately, and the motions or Hie pulley trnantitrji1 r a a npneil- whieh nas- j w, over ti,e gurface 0f the registering cylinder, leaving on the unrolled paper traces of all its movements. In the new process of milling which has come into use with such remarkable results, heating the wheat previous to grinding is an indispensable operation ; but artificial means have of course to be resorted to. in order to force the condi tions and thus prepare the wheat for milling. Several modes of forcing tuoh conditions have been devised, one of which is that of passing the wheat over a coil ot pipe or corrugated cylinder, in the interior or which steam is applied The application of the heat is recom mended just before the wheat enters the millstones, a separate heater being used for each pair of stones. The result of this arrangement and operation found to be the driving of the moisture contained in the inner substance of the wheat more or lees into the bran, which is thus toughened, while the flour left to dry, its color being improved and its condition more favorable tor packing and shipping. rhosithide of calcium on becomlr.g wet will give off siHuitaneously com bustible phosphorctted hvdrogen, thus emmitting light, llnsisthe principal ingredient used in the distress aup guiding signals thrown into the water from a sinking ship, principally to guide those iu -the water to the boats Bis Sad Mlaniou.

The direct result is a dis appearance of tbe pains beneath the ribs and through the shoulder blade, the n tones, neat aches, yellowness of the skin, furred look of tbe tongue, and sour odor of (lie breath. which characterize hrer e-mrlaint. bound digestion and a regu ar habit of body are bleseims al o secured br the use of this cele brated reetoratiye of health, which impaits a degree of vgor to tbe body which is its best guarantee of safety from malarial epidemics. Kerre weakness and over-tension are reheveJ by it, and it improves both appetite and sleep. Ir von abb Kebtoits and Depressed take HuoruSD's GfJtaAS Brmaa.
