Professor Guaniuri, of tho Univer sity of Pisa, is of the same opiniou as that published by him in U!!)2, viz., that the process of postulation, both of cowpox and smallpox, is originated by a parasite which develops in tho epithelial cells, lie has studied both the morphology and biology of this organism. It is capable of amoebic movements, which can be seen on ex amination of lymph taken from the initial vesicle at the temperature of the human body. By this process Professor Guaniuri has also verified the multiplication of the parasite un der tho microscope, and the fact of phagocytosis by polynuelcatod, leu cocytes. With a stain of gentian and methylene, the structure of this low organism may be studied. Tt consists (if a roundish body with a clear out line. Professor Guamuri has suc ceeded in reproducing the parasite in the cornea of rabbits with inoculation of the same lymph, and lie has verified the fact that no other source of irrita tion is capable of producing anything of the appearance of the same parasite in the cornea. Professor Guaniuri be lieves that it is a zooparasite belong ing to the class of rhizopode, and that it is the causo of both cowpox and smallpox. Why a Wile Changes Her Name. It is said that tho practice of tho wife's assuming the husband's name at marriage originated from a Komau custom, and became the common prac tice after the Roman occupation. Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to l'ompey aud Cicero, were called by the Romans Julia of Ponipey, aud Octavia of Ciero, and in later times married women in most European con 11 tries signed their names iu the same maimer, but omuiitted tho "of." Against this view may be mentioned that during the sixteenth and even the beginning of seventeenth century tho usage seems doubtful, since we see Kntheriue I'arr so signing herself after she had been twice married, and we always hear of Lady Jane Grey (not Dudley) anil Arabella Stuart (not Seymour). Souie persons think that the custom originated from the Scrip tural teaching that husband aud wife aro one. It was decided in the case of Bon vs. Smith, in the reign of Eliza beth, that a woman by marriage lotes her former name and legally receives that of her husband.—New York Tele 3 am. ~gjS y.

THE MEI/TINO TEST FOR BUTTER. This test, says E. Reich, is only preliminary, and no claim is mado that it is invariably conclusive. Pure, Ircsh butter when melted is perfectly clear or only slightly cloudy, usually dark yellow, anil has the familiar odor of pure butter-fat. l'ure stale butter may be very cloudy and oven opaque when melted, is usually of a dark yel low color, and lias tho odor of rancid butter. Melted margarine, on the other hand, is very opaque, of a light yellow color, aud has a characteristic indescribable odor.—Literary Digest. "DOWLAS'S MIXTURE." Tho solution known lis "Douglas's Mixture," and so much in favor among English poultrymon as a tonic, is made by putting eight ounces of sul phate of iron (alpo known as greeu vitriol and copperas) into a jug with two gallons of water and adding one ounce of sulphuric acid. This is to bo put into the drinking water of the fowls in the proportion of a teaspoon ful to each pint. This mixture should be made and kept in a stone jug or glass bottle, aud never in a metal ves sel. So soon as any disease breaks I out among poultry this should be given to the healthy, to enable them to resist it, together with more nu tritious and easily digestible food.— New Yolk Sun. TO PREVENT TREES LEANING. Those who have trees which have j been set one or two seasons will do j well to bear in mind the importance of j staking them so that they will resist the influence of the most frequently prevailing or heaviest winds. Those which have been set two years need it as much as those which were put out last spring, as they are likely to pre sent as much surface to the wind as they have roots in the earth. Put down a stout stake a few feet from the trunk, and then put on a withe or a strip of cloth, binding the treo to the stake in the form of a figure 8, so that the crossing of tho baud will prevent ; any chafing of the tree-trunk against the stake. In this way can be pre- | vented the spectacle so often seen of whole orchards leaning over, showing definitely the direction of tho prevail ing winds. If you want to have your orchard permanent keep your trees up s.traight from the start. —Rural Life. HINTS FOR YOUR HARDEN. White clover and bluegrass make the best mixture for a lawn. Buy plants of hardy perennials. Most of them arc difficult to grow front seed. Prune your trees now and the wound will be quickly healed by tho running sap. Make a definite plan for your gar den. Don't putin everything helter skelter. Get a practical florist's advice if you try roses; this is a hard climate to grow them iu. Hollyhocks do best when treated as biennials. Tli y are less able to staml our severe climate after lloworiug. The bridal wreath is a pretty shrub, whether in flower or leaf. Don't prune it and the slender branches will droop gracefully with the weight of their white foliage. Double petunias are beautiful flow ers and delightfully fragrant. Buy a few plants, as the seed is expensive and uncertain about growing. Single petunias, which are also very pretty, grow from seed like a wood.—New York Advertiser. CLUB liOOT OF ('AIUIAi)E. Tho club root of cabbage and the several plants of the cabbage family is a well known and dreaded disease among Eastern farmers and gardeners. Hut, while more prevalent in tho East ern portion of the country, it is also known in the West aud South, causing often heavy losses. A bulletin issued from the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station gives iu deta 1 the remits of experiments an I investigations made ou the station grounds and elsewhere, with a view to assisting farmers iu lighting the club rout. Many of the facts contained in this bulletin are of general interest to tho cultivators of cabbage, turnips, kale, etc. Brietly stated, the malady is due to a microscopic paiaMte which infest* the ceils of the roots, causing them t > become saolh-ti a it distorted. The spores of tile fuil|/il*, upon the decay of ibo part allcctcd, become scat tered through th» soil, and from thill 'u the cue lay inters the bout plant.

In spite of the general opinion to the contrary, some maintain that tho hog has a preference for being clean, and cite many instances of his keep ing one side of his pou clean if at all encouraged or started with it clean, etc. Here is one man's idea iu regard to a clean pen and pure food : Every farmer with 100 acres ought to feed from twenty to 100 hpgs. The com mon way of constructing tho floors of tho pens is unsuitable. If they slope backward from the trough they will be kept wet. That means sickly hogs that do not thrive well. I pre fer to make the floors slant toward tho trough. Twice the profit can be made when the animals lie dry all the while, and besides that their health is much better. Then the feeding trough should have its holding capacity in length and not in depth. It pays to have them fed with good, clean feed, which meaus the difference between profit and loss. They will take the waste from the table. It does not do, as is usually the case, to have it put into a tub or barrel which is never cleaned. That becomes poison. It ferments and sours and makes bad blood. With the sow aud young pigs taking it, the consequence is they die before ten days old, and even littlo pigs have the right to bo well born, lloga fed on clean food should gaiu at least one pound for every four and a half pounds of grain used ; a man can tell whether it is paying to keep them or put his labor to other sources of profit. If any man feeds his hogs too long it costs more than he can mako out of them.—Western Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Be kind to the colts and you will have gentle horses. There is no fruit that can be grown as readily as the grape. Big horns and a fleshy udder are re garded as bad points in a milch cow. A siek cow should be put by lierßelf at once and covered with a warm blan ket. Standard-bred trottersthatcau't trot are poor property for any breeder to stock up with. Care and feed are just as important factors as pedigree in raising trotting stock at a profit. It. is a pretty well established fact that a profitable butter cow is a prof itable cheese cow. The poultry keeper who does not furnish a dust bath deprive* his chickens of a necessity. The financial success ofbreedingthe trotter depends upon tho liuancial prosperity of trotting sport. Mueh of tho failure of seeds to ger minate iu the spring is due to the fact that they are planted too deep. When hens or hogs get weak in the logs it is often a sign that they have been fed two much corn and cormneal. A farmer wants to know how much alsike to sow to the acre. Ten pounds of seed would be a great sutlioiency on j good land. If the hen house is overcrowded | there will b • trouble. Disease will almost surely appear and the liens ! will not lay. Tie up the horses' tails whenever it is muddy, t>ut don't leave them tied up over night. It injures their appear ance to bay the least. There is not very mueh dillerenee in the cost of feeding a cow that makes ISO pounds of butter in on > year and one making double as much. Study the horse's foot and the proper methods of shoeing. It will then be possible for you to know if your nlacksinith knows his business. Currants should have a space jf four feet, and gooseberries the same, an l be kept trimmed and cultivated. I'ut out Old wood when it becomes un thrifty. The sugar beet is valuable as a foo 1 for fowls. Served raw through the summer it auswera to the purpose of xreen food when other vegetables are scarce. Crude petroleum is better than kerosene, comes eh ipor, an I if uttcu applied to your hen roosts aud heu houses will soon destroy ail rats, mites, etc. KfTorU to iiitro.lnv com into (!>)»•• iiihuv u» cAtllu f>'« I have* fitiltxlno fur, it* » pirjuliiv it mint*, ikU t nil «urti of ttturtea to it* clctruuuut are in oiruuUtiou. i'oiiu lnig it cow wit It n »tool or club iluui uot furoo it j<ri itcr <|it tutity of milk frttiu Imr.

If you wish to defy that unpleasant /ittle animal, tho moth, in packing away your furs aud woolen garments, here are a few suggestions to follow : First, boat out all the dust from the garment and let it hang in tho open air aud sunshine for a day. After this, shako very hard, fold neatly and sew up closely in muslin or linen cloths, putting a small lump of gum-camphor in tlio centre of each bundle. Wrap newspapers about all. In addition to these precautions, secure as a packing case a whisky or alcohol barrel but lately emptied aud still strongly scented by the liquor. Have a close head aud fit it in neatly. Thea set away in the garret.—New York World. AN OLD SEWINO MACHINE. Blessed is the plant lover that can count among her possessions an old sowing machine, exclaims Anna Lyman in the New York Independent. Mino was gathering dust and cobwobs in the garret, when the happy thought suggested itself to make it into a plant stand. The top works and large wheel underneath wero soon taken away, and hero was a strong, pretty looking table on iron legs with cas ters, tho last being invaluable on zero nights to wheel my establishment nearer the stove. A box was made, six inches high and somewhat larger than tho stand. This was half filled with sand. Here I learnod a florist's secret. You notice they put their pots on sand or soft earth and not on a dry shelf or table, as we amateurs generally do. So my geraniums and other plants were put down on tho sand, and the air was kept moist, as plants like to have it. Tradeseanti was stuck in around the pots, making s shaded carpet. The old fashioned green Virgiuia creeper has gone out, and lovely colored leaves take its place—striped, silvered, pink, white, gray, bright as flowers. My stand was a grand success all winter, and I hope to got h"hl of another old sewing ma chine to make a fernery for my north window. In the summer it will be moved to the piazza, and I can have a geranium in bloom, or some other pot plant, and it will be a grand plaoe for the chrysauthemums later. If I want stands or vases for my plants, I am pretty sure to find some discarded thing in garret or cellar that answers tho purpose. BECIPES. Hard Gingerbread—One cupful ot sugar, one of butter, one-third of a cupful of molasses, half a cupful of sour milk or cream, one teaspoonful of saleratus, one tablespoonful of ginger, flour enough to roll. Roll thin, cut in oblong pieces and bake quickly. Care must be taken that too much flour is not mixed iu with tho dough. All kinds of cakes that are rolled should have uo more flour than is absolutely necessary to work thorn. Cheese Fingers —Take oue-qniirter of pound of puff paste and roll it out thin ; then take two ounces of Parme san cheese, half a teaspoouful of cayenne an I a pint of salt. Mix these ami sprinkle the clieeso over half the paste, turn the other half over it auil cut it with a sharp knife half an inch wide and any length you please. Bake in a cpiiek oven and serve hot, shaking a little grated cheese over theiu. The lingers must lie piled in a dish, cross ing each other at right angles. For Chicken Omelet—Scrape the bits of meat left on the bo.ly bones of of a baked chicken after it has don ! service on the dinner table. Usj all the dressing left with it.

Moses Thatcher, a noted and ex ceedingly wealthy Mormon leader, has returned to San Francisco from an exploring trip in Mexico. Referring to a tract of country in the Sierra Madre Mountain district of the State of Chihuahua, where it Mormon colony has recently been established, Mr. Thatcher said: "In a radius of 100 miles there is enough masonry to build two cities the size of San Francisco, and this tells the tale of a great civilization that once flourished there. Near by I purchased a tract of land. On part of this land I discovered about half n dozen caves. The entrances were walled up with cement two and a half feet thick, with ouly port holes and a narrow aperture left sulliciently wide to allow one person to enter. These caves were provided with ollus, in which water and provisions were stored, and were formed of long saca tion grass, mixed with cement, nnd were usually about twelve feet high and eight or nine feet in width. One was in perfect preservation. "The caves were divided into apart ments, and one of them contained seventeen rooms. Upon the walls are still fresh character writings of the ancient inhabitants, of the same class as described in the 'Mexican Antiqui ties' by Lord Kingsbury. The caves on the land referred to will accommo date fully 1000 persons, and a cele brated Belgian scientist not long ago found more relics in them than he had in a search of 150 miles elsewhere."— New York Advertiser. Chandelier of Human lioncs. In the centre of the arched roof of All Saints' Church, Sedlitz, in Bo hemia, hangs a chandelier constructed entirely of human bones. The church in which this remarkable object is sus pended is decorated from the floor to the ceiling with the blanched bones of human bodies. Garlands of bones stretch across the walls and hang from the ceiling. Pyramids, topped with golden crowns, are artistically reared from the ground with these whitened remains of the dead. Tho altars are literally covered with skulls, among which are hundreds of those which had been pierced by bullets or crushed by murderous blows from swords and other weapons, denoting that these grim relics of humanity have been gathered from adjacent battlefields. Tradition says that these piles of hu man bones were gathered by u blind friar of the Cistercian Order, who stored them in a corner of the church. As they were fast changing into their original elements, a man named Rint devoted himself to the task of cleaning and arranging them in the church. Prince Carl, of Scliwarzenberg, took a strong personal interest in the res toration and arrangement of the church, and ordered all the repairs to be doue at his own expense.—New- York Telegram.
