IViK-tlons of Ibarra. In a v--.nl lecture n tliif MiU-ct Frof. Gootlale said that leaves aniline different forms for the different kinds f wort thev have to do. They con sist of a framework of green cell with, a water-proof coating. The woody structure which we had seen was to be found in the roots and stem continued into the leaves, and spread itself out in to a network or veins which served to convey the water and ottier matter ab sorbed bv the roots to all parts of the leaves, 'in the waterproof coating of the leaves, on the underside, in ordi nary plants, are to 1 found innumer able little valves, capable of opening and contracting, through which the water, pumped up from the ground, is evaiorated. In a large cabbage hat there are some eleven millions ol these little oinings ; in a sunflower leaf per liaps thirteen millions, covering in all about one quarter art of tho surface of the leaf. A healthy sunflower plant will evaporate in one day an amount r.f -i1,.r Of in it OWn Weight. Owing to tliis rapid evaioratiou in the eucalpvtus, this tree is planted iu swampy land which is thus effectually drained". In sunshine plants absorb carlmnic Hcid gas and thus become purifiers of the air. The arrangement of leaves on I lie stem and brandies of plants was .learlv explained by the aid of a pole some "ten feet high, with holes in the tides, into which palm leaf faiw were placed according to the mathematical plan upon which the leaves were ar ranged. It was thus shown that the ubject of all leaf arrangement was to present the greatest iossiule area of ex IKJSiire of leafage to the sun's rays. The co,ne or notinlps to which the unit: fltl-lll-I, I 1 - 1 I leaves are attached, are found to bend and twist to carry out this object, which once led a botanist to define the leaf stem, or petiole, 'vis a device of nature bv which a leaf can nuike the best of a bad birthplace." Different forms and cuttings of leaves were explained, and it was shown that all this variation was esjiecially adapted to resist storms of wind and rain, for ti:,im iii.-"! nut r.-iiv to lake manv risks. Prickle-like leaves and tendrils were discussed, and the lecturer closed with a very interesting account of the action of the leaves of the Sundew and Venus-fly-trap, two American plants made famous by the investigations of Dar win. The question had lieeu asked w hether, if Paris green is sprinkled uikui jotato plants, and, falling, becomes mixed with the earth, the roots would absorb it and the potatoes become unwholesome ? lie replied that this had Ken iui'rte tho sub ject of careful investigation at exjeri iuental stations, and it might Indefinite ly asserted that not a particle of the jioison was absorbed by the rools or lotatocs. Mr. John C. Go-'rklje Jr. lias si gestd a project for modifying the cli mate of the Atlantic coast by closing the Strait of Dello Isle, and advances the theory that this scheme is feasible as a problem in physical geography ca pable of an engineering solution. He argues that It is shown by charts that the great body of the "cold wall" comes to us throug'i that strait. .New foundland deflects thy remainder of the Arctic current to the soutlltast. Here, presslcg against the Gulf Stream, it veers southward in the form of a loop. and Dnally, running under it, goes on toward the equator. That part of tho Gulf Stream that passes our shores 5i:is a course directly nwtli and a little west. Is deflected slightly towards the east by the coasts of ."South and of Xorth Carolina, and thence turns more to the north again, when it is deflected by the cold current returning from the po'e. VteH this cold current is cf least "strength, as in August and September, the Gulf Stream comes within tea miles of Barnegat; at other times It is distant 120 miles, changing with the amount of the cold current and of the wind. If we had not the cold wall be tween our shores and the Gulf Stream, it is fair to presume that we should have a less stormy coast, as the juxtapo sition of these two currents with their difference in temperature must from that circumstance tend to an unstable condition of atmospheric equilibrium. Our cold northwest winds would then weep to the north of us and become westerly and southwesterly winds. Dr. George ZL Sternberg confirms, m a communication to the John Hopkins University, as a result of his own obser vation, Laveran's discovery of the germ, or micro-organism, of malaria. Lav eran found this microbe In the Bliajie of an amoeboid parasite in the blood of patients suffering from fever, and also observed that the germs disappeared from the blood when quinine was ad ministered in efleetive doses. During a recent vis.t to U-jme Dr. Sternberg was present at a most satisfactory demonstration of the presence and amojboid movements of the l arasite in blood drawn from the finger of a pa tient in the first stage of malarial par oxysm. Types of intermittent lever had been induced in previously healthy persons by injecting into the circulation a small quantity ot blood drawn from a malarial patient during his fever. The presence ot the parasite m the injected blood was demonstrated, and it was found again in the blood of the peisous subjected to the exerirnent during the induced intermittent paroxysms. These paroxysms were arrested, and the para site disappeared from the blood when quinine was administered. To lace rubber belts properly: The belts should be placed on the pulley3 as tight as possible. This can best be done by the use of belt clamps, except in the case of very narrow belts. In all cases the belt should be cut about one-eighth of an inch less than the dis tance around the pulleys with a tape line. The seam of the belt should always be on the outside. Tor narrow belts butt the two ends together, make two rows of holes in each end, thus ob taining a double hold, and lace with lace-leather. For wide be'.ts put in additiou on the Kick a strong piece of leather or rubber, and sew or rivet it to the belt. If the belt should slip it should be lightly ui listened with boiled linseed oil; animal oil will ruin the belt. It one application does not produce the desired result repeat it until it does. The belts will be greatly improved and their durability increased by coating the surface lightly with a composition made of equal parts of black lead and litharge mixed with boiled linseed oil and Japan, enough to cause it to dry quickly; the effects of this will be to produce a finely polished surface. To build up a chimney that will draw forever and not fill up with soot, you must build it large enough, sixteen inches square; use good brick, and clay instead of lime up to the comb; plaster it inside with clay mixed with salt; for chimney tops use the best of brick, wet them and lay them in cement mortar. The chimney should not be built tight to beams or ratters; most chimneys settle a little, and if too tight between the beams and rafters, there is where the crack in your chimneys come and where the most of the fires originate, as the chimney sometimes gets red hot. A chimney built from cellar up is better and less dangerous than one hung on the walL Don't get your stovepipe hung so close to the ceiling, eighteen inches from it. Benzine may be mixed with turpen tine in the mixture of paints with ad vantage. It helps to dry the paint quick! and add to its durability. Tiin BOOK OF aioKMoxf. i A New Story of the Oris In of the Mormon's Bible. The recent conference of the Joseph ites or monogamous Mormons, at K in land, Ohio, and the extended reports of their proceedings, says a correspondent, has renewed public interest in the peculiar faith to which memters of this church sulscribe. The origin of the Hook of Mormons has never been estab lished. The latter-Day Saints, of course, accept the statements of Joe Smith, and believe it to 1 an inspired work. The general pub.: , however, are hardly as credulous and regard tlie alleged bible as a fraud the work of some clever roiuancist rather tlian as the translation of hieroglyphics on golden plates by a nineteenth century profit. The Spauld in" theorv, with which every one at all acquainted with the subject is familiar, has the most advocates. They hold that Spaulding's manuscript of his romance. "The Manuscript Found," fell into the hands of Joe Smith, Sidney Kigdon and others, and from tliat fanci ful" work was constructed the Book of Mormons. If this theory be true, it will astonish orthodox church people to Irani that a Coiigregat ional divine, one of the foremost of his time in New Eng land is responsible for the introduction of the "twin relic of barbarism." as the Utah Church has lieen called, in this countrv. liev." Ethan Smith, who died at an advanced age earlv in the '-forties." was one of the lights in the Congregational Chundt in New England. A man of deep learning, lie was at once a preacher, author and philosopher, holding to many ideas far in advance of his time. One of his pet hobbies was the belief that tlm Xorth American Indians were des- cendi-d from the lost tribes of Israel, who came over to this continent several hundred vears liefore Christ, built great cities ani reached a very high state of civilizati n. l!ev. Dr. Smith wrote a work on the subject, which after completion be decided not to publish, fearing Unit it might injure his reputation as a theo logical writer. This look was an t-lat Miration of the theory lr. Smilh had ho long maintained. Taking as its f i.i nidation the migration of the lost ti ilies of Israel to the western continent, it descriW-d the hegira from Pah-stine. the establishments of the Jews in what is now Central America and Mexico, the founding of a great empire, and its gradual decline and fall. It told of magnificent cities inhabited by an en lightened and Christ ian eopIe. The author claimed them for them a civil ization equal to that of Egypt or Jeru salem. Hundreds of years passed and the history of irtie eastern Jews was iveated on the western continent. uarrcls lx-tween the various triles prang up, bloody wars were waged ami the process of "disintegration liegan. :,-.. ir. -.IN- ilia m-nnle were scattered. their cities destroyed and all semblance to a nation was "lost. Thousands Ier ;tt,.l i.v- ju-rf iIliicp :iiid the sword, and the remnants of a once mighty nation relapsed into a state of kirbarisni. From them their descendants, lr. Smith claimed, were the Indians of North America and the Aztec of Mexico. This is almost exactly similar to the story toM m the lsook of Mor mons. Solomon Spaulding was a warm admirer of Dr. Smith, and when a young man studied under his tuition. He liccame interested in his theories regarding the settlement of America, and in return Dr. Smith took the young .n1..i.t inf.. ltw tfw-kiittj1jn.o mill rrraiiti! him a jierusai of his unpublished look. Spudding was deeply impressed with the truth of this theory' and pursued his HleMIJJTill.i01I3 VN ril Jitllll-l lllclll J'l. SniitH had ventured. Taking tne hit ter's views, as expressed in his lmok, Spaulding some years later wrote his famous -'Manuscript Found," which afterward fell into the hands of Joe Smith, anil was reconstructed into the Book of Mormon. Indeed it is not at all unlikely that Dr. Smith's original manuscript, which, it is said, Siwulding had in his iosses.sioii. suffered a similar fate. At any rate it h:is never lieen seen since. These facts are told your corresiondeiit by a grandson of Dr. Smith, now residing in this city. He states that the "Bonk of Mormons" differs very slightly, as far as its general outline is concerned, from the historical romance written by his grandfather sixty or seventy years ago. and he is quite certain that the Mormon faith is founded on the production of that worthy pastor's fertile imagination. The SVin of the Earth. Ve talk a good deal about lniring and digging into the lowels of the earth. It is a mistake. We have never reached the bowels of the earth anymore than tlie bill of a gnat that pricks you on the abdomen reaches vour liowels. The hnman skin is aUiut one two hundredth and fiftieth of the diameter of the ljodv; allow tlie earth a skin in- lMirtionatcIy thick and it will lie 'M miles through. The di-eiest liorings have lieen alxiut a half mile, not through the false or outer layer of skin: not near to the cutis vera. The highest mountains have only shown us what maybe aliotit one fifteenth the thickness of the earth's skin. Could we go through this thick hide into the real flesh and blood of the earth w hat wonders might lie discovered; At the last session of congress there was a movement to get an appropriation to bore a hole as deep as it could mssi bly 1 made under the direction of the best engineers, but it failed. Money so appropriated would lie sjient to much better puriNise than that appropriated for explorations to the north jnile and many other obji-cts. The heal and gasscs of the earth's interior are to K- the forces of the future for motor iwer, lighting and healing. A lre in. 20. :W miles deep may U impossible, but he is not wise who says imiMissihlc of anything within human endeavor. We simply mean that, since so much has lieen discovered by merelv scratch ing and puncturing tlie' false skin of the earth, might not wonderful results In; obtained by reaching through its skin? JU. Inmy has read a papor at the French Academy oi Sciences describing the successful re-searches made by him, with M. Verneuti's assistance, for ob ta'ning artificial rubles. Uy letting alumina dissolve in fluoride of calcium he obtained crystals of alumina that is. to ray, perfect rubies, defying the closest scrutiny, and even higher in value than natural stones. They can be made ot lare size. "Pvjonip" is said to be the name given by mountaineers of Nevada to a sort of frozen fog that appears some times in winter, even on the clearest and brightest of days. In an Instant the air is filled with Coating needles of ice. To breathe the pogonip is death to the luDgs. When it comes people rush to cover. The Indians dread it as much as the whites. It appears to be caused by the sudden freezing in the air ot the moisture which collects about the summits of high peaks. Tlie danger of Infection from the promiscuous use of the mouthpieces of telephones is attracting attention. It is recommended that the mouthpiece be disinfected every time after using by means of a disinfecting fluid kept at tvery telephone station for the purpose. Application is the price to be paid for mental acquisition. To Lave the harvest we must tow the seed. I FARM 20T n'Asnreo FBCTT TBE19.-Tb.er.-are insects common to all trees, ana it is only by constant care that we can get satisfaction from our trees. On the pear and apple there is a scale in sect which attaches Itself to the bark and Injures the trees If allowed to re main. It is known that any greasy mattsr is death to insects. Thus there are many compounds of this nature used for washing trees. Kerosene oil for hard wood has been used with suc cess by many persons, but It must not get on the foliage. One form of wash is made by adding one pound, ot whale oil soap to three gallons of warm water, stirring well and applying with a stiff broom or brush. The trunk should be rubbed thoroughly and hard to remove as much as possible of loose bark, so that the liquid may reach every part of the Burface. Another good wash is a moir ira fmrn wood ashes. A third wash is made by adding two quarta of soft water to one gallon of oil soap. Place these in a vessel over the Cre, the soap and water readily combine by stir ring, and should be applied like the whale oil application. The best results are obtained by washing the tree about three times during the season, apply ing the first in March or April, the sec ond in June, the last in August. The insects, as well as moss, will be effec tually removed, leaving the bark in a healthy condition. Care of Houses. Do not wait until you begin work in the spring to feed your horses. Do not starve them all winter and expect a week or two of extra feeding to brmg them up to the workinz point. Begin now.. Keep them in and assimilate it. They re tain its result. Do not accuse your horse of being lazy because he stands in th Rtnhinand eats his rezular meals. He rests as you do, and likes to go out once in a while as you de. It is a mis take to suppose he does not need any enjoyment, even if it is a drive cn a strange road. The horse has trodden in the furrow and row, and has known nothing but the old barn door, like a change. Let him hear the jingle of bells comfortably. Do not kick him because this plough horse does not trot as well as he nulls a nay wagon. Whpn vou ffo home at nieht give him a drink, temper his water a little, just as some of your neighbors temper theirs; but not with the same stuff. And trive him a bite, if he is in condi tion for it, just as you take your piece of pie. Ground oats, corn and wheat mixed with boiled potatoes do cot make a proper food for fowls. A certain por tion of it given occasionally, as when fowls are fed for fattening, is gcod and wholesome, but, as a rule, soft food Is injurious to poultry. It is not well digested and produces a common blood disease, a sort of anthrax fever marked by blackness of the comb, stiffness and lameness of the limbs and the droopm? of the wings of the chickens. To remedy this the fowls should be given a des' of a teaspoonful of linseed oil and small pinch of powdered sulphate oi iron, and have no food, but only water, for two days. After that light feeding with oats and some chopped grass or clover would be useful, but no corn s'aould be given for a few days, r.nd then only sparingly. Straw. There ate so many uselui purposes for straw that the wise far mer will scarcely need to have re course to the fire to get rid of if. It makes an excellent mulch for all kind: of fruit trees aud berry vines. Use it for bedding and by frequent changing increase the compost heap. Spread it on dry knolls and places In meadow and p&sture where the grasj has bur ned or dried out. Killi.s-q Plantains. A corres pondent says "a drop or two of chloro form put in the center of a plant ol plantain will kill it, and so will salt.'' We suppose it is meaut that the top of the Plantain should first be cut off, and the application be made at the cut surface of the crown or root. A dror of kerosene oil applied in this mannet is sure death to the plant, and is pre ferable either to chloroform or salt. According to Dr. J. C. Peters, it i: tilth that causes most of the diseases o: domestic animals.

While it is economy in fee 1 to hav the cattle barn well protected a;ai"3i cold In winter, especialij agaiast cold winds and blowing rains, there is dan ger of overdoing the thing. P.m'l make the barn too close, il i.e it we.i ventilated. The amount of air ad mitted should be under control and regulated daily as the needs of tha animals require it. Light, too, is very necessaiy. Provide plenty or light. Glass is cheap, and windows of thi material should be provided. Mb. J. B. Lawes acknowledges that greater fertility is imparted to the land by plowing under green crops than to applying the same after I hey had been fed to stock, but thiuk3 it more profitable to adopt the latter method. Yet, where there is but little demand for meat it will be found an advantage to plow under the green crop. TriE introduction oi t.;j ensilage system not only increases the value of corn as a specs.il plant for that pur pose, but it will add largely to the in terests of cattle, probably leading to the establishment of the 3311103 system in preference to pasturage, over the whole country. Grow a crop of peas iu the old or chard and let the pigs harvest it. Sow early, 2 bushels per acre, with 400 pounds of good fertilizer.

Although salt and soda are said to benefit asparagus, anal vses show that a ton of asparagus takes from the soil, 2.6 pounds phosphoric acid, 6 pounds potash and 7.4 pounds nitrogen, and there is scarcely a trace of soda ia its composition.

Bread cake. Ureal cake fried may be a novelty to some cooks. Two cup3 and a half bread dough, allow one cup and a half of sugar, two eggs, a quarter of a cup of melted butter, half a teaspoonful of salt and a little nut meg. Knead them well into the dough, using as much flour as is needed to make a smooth dough.

If there is the least redness, or even before that, if there is fear that the skin may be ten der, touch the places with the white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth, in which is mixed two teaspoonfuls ot spirits of wine. You may also bathe the patient on the sides and back with brandy, and then dust the skin with powdered starch, sifted through a muslin bag. Cocoanct Custard.

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing aliments peculiar to females, at the Invali'la H0U.-I and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, X. Y has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies. Dr. Pierce's f avorite Prescription k the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from physicians who have tested in tho more atrgravated and obstinate cases wbk-h bad bellied their skill, prove it to be tie most wonderful remedy ever devised for tbe relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended ss a "cure-ail," bat as a most perfect rJpeciflc for woman's peculiar ailments. As a powerful. Invigorating; tonic, it imparts strength to tho whole system, and to the uterus, or womb and its ap pendages, in particular. For overworkoi, 'wwm-out," "run-down." debilitated teach ers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop-girls," housekeepers, nursing moth ers, and feeble women generally. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the great est earthly boon, being unequalled as an appetizing eoniisl and restorative tonic. It promotes digestion and assimilation of food. Address.
