Treuton (N. J.) American. Animal Hnmet In Inilln. A Calcutta newspaper, jnst received, contains an interesting acctmnt of the workhouse or asylum for ngail and in firm b.'nsls ami birds, which was es tablished some thirteen years ago by society of influential Hindoos.

In this placo at present there ore 979 animnl paupers 12H bulls, 807 cows, 171 calves, 72 borses, 14 water buffaloes, 6'i sheep, 15 goats, 141 pigeons, 44 eocks nml beus, four cnts, three monkeys and five dogs. The asylum is described s being systematically and mercifully managed.

New York Mail aud Express. Simple Ways ofFlra-Maklng. The boy, or girl brought np In - familiarity with safety matches, elec tric lighting, etc, will smile the smile of superiority when be reads in St. Nicholas, H. L. Jerome's description of the methods our ancestors em ployed for lighting a Are, and that manT of our uncivilized nniitAitir,- ariea still employ. Fire-niakiug by sawing, be says, was perhaps suggested to the Malays by nature. It is said that jnugle tires are often started by the rubbing of the bamboo stocks together in high wind storms. "The creaking of the bamboo is iudescribable; the noise of the rasping and grinding of the horny litems is almost unendurable" during these storms, say travelers. However the method may bave been nggested to them, it is a Very simple one.- A piece of bamboo having a harp edge rubbed aorosa a ronnded piece in which a notch Las been cut. The Malay saws across nntil the hol low convex piece is pierced. The heated particles fall below aud ignite. Borne Malays "have improved ou this by striking piece of china, tinder being held with it, agai ist the outside of a pieoe of bamboo, ' the silicions coating of the latter yii Idiujr a spark. like flint;" but the "swing knife Is more commonly need. Band is some times added to increase the friction. In some places, when the particles full they are gathered in dry leaf and swung around the bend until tbe leaf blazes. The plowing method seems to bnve sprung wholly from tbe 1'acillo Isl anders. It is closely connected with the sawing method. A soft, corky bit of wood is picked tip near by, and small, pointed stick of bard wood is found. Kneeling on the hearth or soft stick, the man holds the pencil like plow between bis clasped hnnds, somewhat as one takes a pen, and forces it forward nt nn angle of about forty degrees, slowly nt tlrst and then with iucrensiug ' raniditv until the wood is ground off ntu forms in a small heap nt the end of the groove be has so made. The groove Is nbout six inches long. Mr. Dnrwiu found it dilltcnlt to make Ore in this wny.but nt Inst succeeded. The Hnmnnii can get tire in forty seconds, nml some can make the wood burst into Hume by this method. The fourth method of obtaining fire thnt of "striking" a light - is one fitmilinr, in a ileuree, to nil. lleforn steel wns obtainable flint and pyiiles were used. Kskimos of the Mackenzie river district use a fire-set composed of n tinder-pocket, which contains tinder made of dowu from tbe willow catkins mixed with charcoal,or soaked in gunpowder and water, a rough bar of Hint, and a bnlf-sphei e of pyrites, evideutly a round stone broken iu two for grenter convenience. Tho tinder-bag is made of reindeer skin. A little bag limiting from the larger one contnins tinder to use iu case that iu the linger one becomes accidentally useless; but the little bag also acts as a toggle. It is passed under tbe belt when the tinder-bng is, carried by the squaw, much as our women went- their chntelaine-bngs. The cover of the bug is an oblong pad stuffed with deer bnir. This pnd is held on the forefinger under the py rites to protect the linnd when a spark is being struck off into the tinder in the lnj. With the Iron Age came the nse of the flint aud steel, and the most an cient specimens of these tire-working tools are so nearly like those fan ml in mnuy nn old garret today that de scription seems unnecessary. The Chinese strike-n-lights show a very iugeuious way of combining the steel with a pouch in which to carry the flint and tinder. In Tibet th pouches are often elaborately trimmed with iuernsted silver set with costly jewels. The Japanese still use (lint and steel. Their tinder-boxes have two compartments. The smaller one is for the titular nml has n damper. The lareer one is for the Hint and steel. They mount tho steel in wood. Our North American Indians were slow to acknowledge civilized arts aud methods ns superior to their own; but fire-mukiug with flint aud steel ap pealed to them at once, ami was promptly adopted, Hu-ksklu pouches were made iu which to carry the flint and steel, aud bnug from the bolt be side the tomahawk. They have many curious beliefs concerning fire and its origin. The Alaskan Indians will tell you that "Yetl," the Great Haven, who created man and gave him all blessings, after obtaining light and fresh water, stole a burning brand from a Are island (volcano) in tbe sea and started back to earth holding it in his beak. But the journey was so long that tbe brand burned shorter and shorter. Swiftly and more swiftly Yetl plied bis niacin wings; but tbe brand burned bis bill nml then dropped to the ground and scattered in all directions. And because tbe divine Are, dropped from Yeti's beak, en tered into every rock and every dry bit of wood lying on the surface of the earth, they say one con always call tire out of the rocks by striking them with steel, or out of wood by rubbing it with other wood. This is tbe Alaskan explanation of tbe mystery known to us as tire-niaking. Caught by a Clam In the Month Pain He is found a giant clam-like fish with huge ribs, called tbe tridncna. Ho solid are the shells that they can almost cut man's hand off, crushing tbe bones, and as tbe tridncna has tho linbit of lying with its valves partly opeu, as though to trap some unwary traveler, it has earned an unsavory reputation aud is considered an animal to be avoidod unless means are at bund to render it harmless. Not long ago an American was in swimming, when the edges of the shell of a trldacua cloned on bis foot. There was apparently no possible chance to escape. He bad about de termined upou a terrible alternative to cut off bis foot t save his life, when the shell visibly relaxed its bold and, with a quick jerk, lie pulled out the maimed aud helpless member and turned iu shore.

A great many of the young cbickeus Hint are batched every spi iug would bring more money to their owners if forced for broilers than if allowed to some to maturity. The secret of fore- lug is to give fond that is cookecrand that is easily digested. Sleamed ont- menl is excellent for them, followed a littlo Inter on ' with boiled wheat. Some meat food should be given them occasionally, together with crushed bone to help grind the food in their gigznrrtH.

The Faintly Aspnrngua lleit. Asparagus is one of the most deli cious ns well as the most healthful ol vegetables aud should have a place in every garden, large or small. It is very tenacious of life mid will stand almost any nmount of neglect, but at the same time there is notbiug which responds so readily to good culture. When a bed is once started it is good for a lifetime. In fact it will not come into full usefulness until it is five or six years old. This should be remem bered when selecting tho location. The bed should be so placed thnt it will uot interfere with the cnltivation of other crops, but nt tho same time it should be in such shape that it can be given good culture and kept free from weeds. The most conveuieut method for the farm gardener is to set the plants in long rows so that they can be worked with tbe horse. Itntnllng Crops Far tho Unrdnn. e While some kinds of vegetables, ns, for example, the onion, will do well if not best on tbe same ground every year, there are others that are much more successful if changed nbout to different parts of the garden ejich year. Cabbage especially ought never to be grown on ground occupied by cabbage the previous year. We think this is true of roots, and even of sweet corn and potatoes. These have such different habits of root growth thnt when they alternate more of the soil is pornicated by roots, and as these decay or are removed the soil is lightenod more effectually than it could be if the same crop were con tinuously grown. One of the best of nil rotations for tbe garden is to discontinue its nse as a garden for two full venrs, in the meantime seeding it with clover and timothy, the latter sown in tbe full, so as to get enough growth not to be ciowded out by weeds iu the spring. We always advise sewing either wheat or rye iu the fall where an old garden is to be Beedcd. The soil is so full of weed seeds that tbe grain is needed to keep them back. Some potash and phosphate should be sown with tbe grain. This will make bright, clean straw and well tilled. The clover grown on a garden should always be plowed under, though if there are not too many weeds, it may bo best to cut tbe tlrst crop and plow under tbe sec ond, sowing crimson clover in tbe fall to protect tbe Boil during the win ter. There will usually be few weeds after the land bus been two years iu clpver, and the soil will respond to any kind of manure after this clover rotation that it would before. Ameri can Cultivator. Mottled II ii Iter. Terbaps every one who bns roatlo butter has-been troubled with this at some time. Tbe cause of tbe mottled condition wbiob is frequently seen in butter is a disputed ouo, yet it is sim ple enough after all. As ire know, salt affects tho color of butter; takes on a deeper hue when it has been salted a few hours. Take a lot of butter from the churn in a mass, salt it in streaks by cutting down through it with the ladle and scatter ing salt freely where tbe ladle went, let it stand half a day before working and you will see a good illustration of mottled butter. Iu a few words the explanation is this: Mottled butter it caused by nneven distribution of salt, nothing more or less. To avoid this tbe following plan is su excellent oue, and one which is fol lowed by many butter makers to-day: Leave the butter in granules, wash with water cold enough to prevent ad hesion, draiu aud salt while still in the oburu, then revolve the churn or tip from side to Bide nntil the butter glob ules mass somewhat and the salt is eveuly distributed. By tipping tbe oburu one way, then the other, the salt may be very evenly sprinkled on, or a wooden fork of suitable si.o may be need to stir it up, adding but a por tion of the salt at a time. Tbe salt melts or dissolves tbe mo ment it touches the grains of butter and each grain is instantly coato 1 with brine. Then when tbe butter has drained a few minutes remove it to the worker, press until moderately dry aud pass away. No further working it necessary, and there will be no trace of streaks or a mottled condition to be fonnd. Salting in the oburn is sure to be favorite method with those who try it. The amount of butter oan be very olosely estimated as the amount from a given quantity of cream does not vary very materially from time to time. Nor is it essential to weigh out the salt each time. Measure out a pound of salt, usually a full pint of salt -will weigh a pound, and it is more quiokly measured than weighed each time. Some adhere very tenaoiously to the old jyay of twioe working their butter, but onoe is a great plenty. If the salt ia evenly distributed and tbe exoestof moisture pressed out, that is sufficient, nd oan as well be done at one opera tion at two. Southern Farmer. , SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. Professor J. E. Wolff, of Harvard University, has recently discovered in the cine mines at Franklin Furnace, N. J., a valuable new mineral, con taining from twenty-two to twenty four per cent, of cine. It ia thought that the discovery may prove of con siderable importance. From the name of the township, Hardyston, in which It was first recognized, Trofessor Wolff bns called the new mineral "bardystonite." In tbo manufacture of nrtiflcial ivory, two parts of caoutcbono are dis solved in thirty-six parts of chloro form, and the solution is saturated with pnre gaseous nmmonin. Tho chloroform is then distilled off at a temperature of eighty-live degrees, eentigrnde. Tbe residue is mixed with phosphate of lime or carbonate of eiuc, pressed into molds and dried. Whon phosphate of lime is used the product possesses to n considerable degree the nature and competition of ivory. Tbe danger f contamination ot wells by sewerage bns olten been spoken of, and a striking confirma tion of it was offered when the water works machinery of a Maryland town of three hundred inhabitants broke down. For one day wnter from an old well was used. Ten days later there wns an outbreak of inflammatory in testinal disorders, and three cases of typhoid fever resulted. Tho water was tested and fonnd to contain not less than 4100 bacilli in one cubio centimeter, which is, of course, equiv alent to about fifteen drops. The regular water supply contained eighty bacilli to centimeter, which cannot be considered very satisfactory. The use of smokeless powder has Its disadvantages, especially tho in creased wear of the gun. It is rather grave inconvenience, for in time of peace soldiers have to practice firing, and their arms are the worse for it. Professor W. C. Hobeits-Anstin, C. B., has reoently presented photo graphs to tbe Iron and Steel Institute ot Great Britain which demonstrate the ruin of rifled ordnance by cordite, melinite and other smokeless powders. A quick-firing gun suffered from cordite after five shots, although the steel was of tho usual quality and tho tube had been tempered in nil. M. Meriel, a French writer, thinks that if tbe sudden elevation of temperature followed by cooling on firing a shot conyi bo avoided it would help the uinttcr. The idea that the sea contains a ma terial capable of boing wrought into the form and characteristics of silk has commonly been treated as a myth. Hut, according to the American Bilk lournal, the shellfish known as tho pinna, found in the Mediterranean, has the power of secreting a viscid silk which, in Sicily, is somotimes made into a handsome fabric. The silky matter is ejected by the shell fish, iu the first instance, for tho pur pose of attaching itself to tho rocks, possessing the unique capacity, as it does, of guiding tbe delicate filaments to tbe pVoper place and there gluing them fust, reproducing them also if they are out away. This substance, when gathered, is washed in soap and water, dried, straightened and carded, one pound of the coarse fllamont yielding nbout three ounces of fine thread, which, when spun, is of an attractive golden brown color. There is also said to be, in the Royal Berlin Museum, a pair of golden brown silk gloves made of byssus silk, a material nbtaiuod from tho small silky tufts protruding from tho byssus sboll; this libra is silky, and changes in color irom greenish yellow to dark brown, the single threads being two to three inches loug.

Every month she goes into mourning, because bor cannibal bus band1 has eateu oue of them.

Dun & Co.'a weekly review of trade reports as follows for last week: While buying 200,000 tons bessemer pig at Pittsburg gave reason for the ad vance In price to $16 50, with gray forge quoted at $15 per ton. It Is not quite as clear as It might be that the output, which was 255,000 tons weekly, occordlng to the Pittsburg reccftl, and has since been largely Increased by the addition of many furnaces, will con tinue to fall below the demand. For the requirements In various de partments for manufactured products. It must be recognized, are scarcely measurable, end do not seem as much diminished as might be expected by higher prices and long delay In de livery. In plates, for Instance, the de mand covers many thousand tons for bridges at Chicago and at Pittsburg, and one Philadelphia concern accepted 7.000 tons and afterwards was obliged to refuse more, .or.e other concern In the same city refusing over 12,000 tons. The shipments of boots and shoes from the East have been for two weeks of May 2i per cent larger than last year, and 50.9 per cent larger than l:i 1892. Higher prices, which have been asked for several monthsk are now more generally paid for wiar, mougn most works are co Dy earner orders for four mon ahead or more. Speculators are doing a large busi ness In wool, somo foreign and some American. They have bought about 7.000.000 pounds Australian wool In bond here, as Is now reported, and about 1,000,000 pounds domestic terri tory wool Is also said to have been sold for export at about 42 cents clear. But this does not cast much light on the question whether speculative sales abroad have yet been covered, or will be within a short time, nor Is there any Indication that the market here will respond to the temporary foreign de mand. The orders for woolen goods nre decidedly better, and although the woolen association Is not yet In opera tion. It seems o have given a certain kind of confidence to prices In the woolen goods department. Cotton declined a small fraction on Monday, owing to freer port move ment, which made It probable that at the end of this week the amount In sight would about equal last year's record-breaklrg figures. But there was a recovery of all tha decline In middling uplands, and a net gain Iu option prices. May wheat has been rising during the past week about 4 cents, and no body can tell why, although the ex ports In the past two weeks have been lQ,5t9,006 bushels, flour Included, against 8,135,124 bushels last year. Better shipments were expected after the opening of navigation, and there la really no use In considering the dreams of western speculators and crop re ports at this time. No one can form a fair Judgment at the middle of May regarding the output which will be vis ible to everybody In the middle of July. The best that can be done la to accept the crop reports, ofllolal and other, the opening of navigation, and are in with almost Indefinite allowances. Better shipments are expected after fact coming, the outward movement from Duluth alone In two weeks reaching nearly 4.000,000 bushels. Lack of rain in California has caused a large reduction in all estimates tor that state, and Pacific exports are de creasing, as holders ar leas ready to accept current prices with the proa pect of a shortage. Failures for tha week have been 14? In the United Bute. (
