A farmer says: "Farmers justly set a high value cn well-cured cornstalks, but some find a difficulty in getting ; their stock to eat them as cleanly as j they wish. I have overcome this diffi- j cultythis winter by sprinkling them j arifh hot hrinn. 1 withheld drv salt ! from the stock for a while, also husks, and made a brine by putting salt into a watering pot and pouring on hot water, gave the husks a bountifal sprinkling, and fed them the last thing at night, instead of feeding them in the mom: ag, as formerly. I think if I had tried this plan years ago I should have saved a great amount of fodder that was thrown j out and trodden under foot." Chancing the Bcannz Year. A New Hampshire correspondent of j the Ntic England Farmer, wiiting in j reference to the changing of the bearing j year of the apple tree, says: "I helieve | it can be done by heavy pruning and | heavy manuring in the even year, ! provided the tree be not allowed to ! bear fruit that year. Amous: my own j recollectio s of the long-ago past, is j one of a man. who was a r?ion?3er in fruit raising, standing by his overloaded tree? and whipping off the fruit. He asserted that in this way he was able to secure a fair crop of apples the next year. Ee always had frnit every year, I remember. A few years ago. it so ; happened that I manured two apple ! trees rather heavily, in rue even year; j the next year they bore a heavy crop i and have continued to do so every year | since. Another tree, that stood near j the wall, was manured only on one i side, and that side at once took to bearing on the odd year, while the other side continued its old-established habit. of even year bearing. These trees all I nrnflnee fall fruit. It mav not be so I easy to change the habit of a Baldwin or other tree that matures its fruit later, but I have no doubt it could be done in a few vears bv this means." * J__ Recipes.

Speed of Ja^-k Rabbit. There are many fast things, from an ice boat to a note maturing in the bank, but nothing to equal the jack rabbit. An unfounded rumor gets around pretty lively, but could not keep up with him for two blocks. When an ordinary cur dog tries to expedite a jack rabbit route, he makes a humiliating failure of it. He only gives the rabbit gentle eier cic?e. The latter merely throws np his ; ears and, under easy sail, skims leisurely along, tacking occasionally to give tne ; funoral .procession time to catch tip. Bnt if you -want to see velocity, urgent speed, and precipitated haste, you have only to turn loose a greyhound in the wake of a jack rabbit.

"While it is easy to take cold in midsummer, colds are usually more prevalent when low temperature prevails, though less in clear, steady winter than dnrinar the variable soring and autumn. " Catching cold" is usually the result of J inequality of temperature in two parts of the body, especially adjacent parts, j which disturbs the uniform circulation ; of the blood. At the place where this j disturbance occurs, "congestion"' arises, i that is, a rush of blood to a part from j one direction faster than it is carried off | by the chilled blood vessels in the other j direction, and this produces serious re-; suits if not speedily remedied. This ' diseased condition may extend over the | whole body, affecting most severely any j organ already weak. Thus a cold may come from damp or j chilled feet; from even a slight draft of air : blowing through a crack, upon ono side j r\r nnrfion n? t.hft bf>dv and COOlill QT it : i from standing near a fire or stove, and heating one side while the other re mains comparatively cold ; from warmer clothing in one part of the body than j on another; from lightly dressing the arms and lower limbs, or leaving them j naked; from standing over a hot regis- ] ter ; from the chilling evaporation of | water or moistnre, from a portion only j of one's closhing?in general from any canse producing inequality of temperature. The causes of a cold, named, indicate how to avoid one. Maintaining general vigor by nourishing, well-digested food, gives one power to resist an attack. When to be especially exposed, a little tonic, as a grain or two of quinine, taken in advance, may be useful. Stimulants, KVa linmnrs urA hnf ft tpmnn. I XJ.A.W ?iVVVWI.W *4kl - ? C " rary aid; the reaction after the first stimulating effects, leaves one more subject to take cold than if the stimulant had been omitted. Simple remedies will usually remove a cold, if taken promptly, before the congestion has produced serious disorganization. When struck with a sense of chilliness, 15 to 30 drops of aromatic spirits of ammonia, in half a tumbler of water, will often start a uniform circulation all through the body, as this quickly enters the whole blood and is stimulating. Soaking the feet in warm water, gradually adding warmer water as long as it can be borne, draws off the blood from all the rest of the body, and often relieves congestion in any loe?.l i part. Smart friction upon any part or j the whole of the skin surface, or a i uniform sweating, produces like results. ! But in these cases, special care must be taken to prevent after-chilling of the j j feet, or any other part. After the feet I j heating, wipe dry quickly and cover them warmly, The best remedy we have found for a recent cold is a mo.lerate movement of the bowels with castor oil, or calcined [ magnesia, or other mild cathartic. This produces a flow of fluid, drawn from j the blood to the alimentary canal, and thus reduces the pressure upon any one congested point, just as drawing off part of the water from a flooded pond relieves pressure upon a weakened dam or embankment. This is to be followed j by keeping the body warm and comfortable, and toning it op with good food, or a simple tonic like quinine. "Feeding a cold," prior to takiug a cathartic, is the worst possible treat ?? t TL ?? ahIT. nf? f A [ ILLt5lit* AO \JLLiy UU.U.jLU? Uiatcnoi cv/ | increase the congestion. Coughing is an effort of nature to | eject noxious matter from congestion of the luugs or bronchial tabes, to be best relieved by general remedies which ; affect the blood. Sore throat and pains | in the limbs or joints are usually relieved by the external use of hot ci irritating appliances. One of the best is a mixture of one part of aqua ammonia (liquid hartshorn,) and three parts of sweet oil, well shaken. Gum Arabic dissolved, gum candy, simple syrups, etc., upon an irritated throat surface, exclude the air. and mitigate the irri tation.

The Pepper Plant. Few condiments are more common or universally used than pepper, yet it will surprise many to learn that it is comparatively a recent comer to our culinary department, and like potatoes, tomatoes, Indian com, coffee and tea, an object unknown in ancient times, and even in the Middle Ages. One Le Poivre, governor of the Isle of France, wa3 the first to appreciate it, and when he introduced the piquant seed into France, it took his name and bears ifc to tliis day. We, of the English tongue, were never very sjllluui tin mastering French words, so in time Mr. Poivre became Mr. Pepper. Although not so costly as cloves or cinnamon, pepper is of a much greater : commercial value, as its consumption is at least a hundred times greater. It grows on a beautiful vine, which, incapable of supporting itself, twines round poles prepared for it; or, as is more common in the Travancore plantations, the pepper vines are planted near mango and other trees of straight j high stems. As these are stripped of ' the lower branches, the vice embraces the trunk, covering it with elegant fes- ) | toons and rich bunches of fruit in the j -i?i. -e IT.. Ti.i: styie 01 tuts Italian viucjoius. The leaf of the pepper plant is'large, resembling that of the ivy, and of a bright green; the blossoms appear in June, soon after the commencement of the rains; they are small, of a greenish white, and are followed by the pungent berries, which hang in large bnnches, resembling in shape those of grapes, but the fruit grows distinct on little stalks like currants. In Malabar, pepper is gathered in February, and has the same appearance as in Europe. Although the vine begins to bear in the fourth or sixth year, it is i not in perfection before the ninth or j tenth, and continues bearing as many i years longer, if in a congenial soii. Assiduity and cleanliness are essen-! tially necessary in a pepper garden, not j a weed is permitted to grow ; the pro- j duce, however, amply compensates this trouble, as a plant in full growth is able to furnish six or seven pounds of berries. This valuable spice grows chiefly on the Malabar coast, in Sumatra, Borneo, Java and Singapore; its caltivation has also been introduced in Cayenne and the West Indies, but our supply comes mainly from Java and Sumatra, j The black and white sorts of pepper are j both the produce of the same plant. j The best white peppers are supposed i to be the finest berries which drop from j the tree, and, Iving under it, become ] somewhat bleached by exposure to j weather; the greater oart of the white I pepper used as a condiment is, however, ' the black merely steeped in water, and ! decorticated, by -which means the pun-1 gency and real value of the spice are ! diminished; but having a fairer and i more uniform appearance when thus j prepared, it fetches a higher price. Head Covering. M. Troupeau has lately made numer- j ous experiments with head-gear in its j relation to heat from the sun. He ! reaches these conclusions, which may j serve as useful hints : 1. Head-coverings ' of conical and rounded form are cooler : than those of Sat shape, the helmet is | accordingly preferable to the kepi in ; hot climates. 2. A thick body, formed ! of a substance which conducts heat! badly, protects effectually against the j sun's rays. 3. Xo metal should be used ! in the constraction of head-gear. 4. j Gocd ventilation, obtained by means of j lateral air-holes at the top and a gallery j at the bas?.. isolating the head, causes a very sensible lowering of the interior temperature. A head-cover of b^d construction may be made cool by good ventilation. Tlic Chinese laundrymen at tiie Nevada penitentiary are said to be very fond of cat stew.

Are your pockets the safes in which you have hidden treasure, and are your hands the bolts that secure the safe door? Money may be there to-day, but it won't be asruest over to-morrow night. An idler's money is apt to leap ont of his pocket. | It is likely to go for a pipe, a cigar, a ! tobacco ping, a mug of ale. There is j no money in pocket-warming. Take your hands out of your pockets, | young man! You are losing time. Time j i3 valuable. People feel it at t'ae other ! end of the line, when death is near and eternity is pressing them into such small quarters, for the work of this life craves hours, days, weeks,, years. If those at the end of the line, if jou:h with its abundance of resources, would only feel that time is precious! Time is a quarry. Every hour may be a nugget of gold. It is time in whose invaluable moments we build our bridges, spike the iron rails to tiie sleepers, launch our ships, dig our canals, run our factories. You might have dug twenty hills of potatoes while I have been talking to you, young j man. Take your hands out of your pockets. The world wants those hands.

Take your hands out of your pockets!?Evangelist, i newspaper w?rx aau worKers. In an article on " Newspaper Work and Workers'' it is truthfully remarked that there is no other profession but: enjoys immunity from observation as to | its modes. The preacher writes in the j privacy of his stndy, and can concoct! platitudes or pad cut plagiarisms that! would be the ruin o'l the editor and the reporter. The lawyer consults his client and organizes his campaign in private, bringing into court only as much as makes for his causo and against the cause of his adversary. The doctor plies his potions and launches in his lancet in secret. If the patient recovers, it may be the medicine or it may be in j spite of it; if he die, it may be the pills or Providence, the physician is scathless. None of these come to light that their deeds may be reproved. Moreover, the work of the press is continuous, as well as constantly public. There is no rest for the weary. Space j is no more annihilated by telegraph ! than time by journalism. The evening i and the morning are not merely the ! first day but all the seven.

Repetition is a3 impossible as rest. Fact3 are ever new. Comments must be as fresh as facts, and the edition is the remorseless giant that eats up all the seconds. The making of newspapers is perpetual motion %o a thousand fields. In such a work, demanding ceaseless effort, permitting no pause, exacting eternal, and ever-varying eser- j cise, it is impossible for wheat to be un- j mixed with chaff", for accuracy not tc be i impaired by mistakes, for iajustice not i occasionally to be done.

It seems an extraordinary thing to speak of eataag a skunk, and that, too, in a part of the world where beef and mutton are infinitely more plentiful than bread ; yet it is a fact that the Guachos of the Banc'la Oriental are in the habit of hunting this creature for the sake of its flesh?nor is thi3 incomprehensible to any one who is acquainted wi:h the* true nature of the skunk. The dis gristing liquid which it ejects is contained in a gland on the back, and constitutes its weapon oi defense.

There was ' no time for me to put my hand down | rl give another wrench on the bridle (which I had let fall on the horse's neck), and for the life of nie I could not get a sight with the ho:.i3e in motion. A charging buffalo does not take many seconds to cover fortj yards, and in another, instant his outstretched nose was within six feet of me, so, j lowering the gun from my shoulder I pulled it off right in his face, at the same time digging the spurs deep into my horse's sides. But it was too late, for even as he sprang forward the old bull caught him full in the Hank, pitching him, with me on his back, into the air like a dog. The recoil of the heavily charged elephant gun, with which I was unluckily hunting, twisted it aImti nnf. c-.-f iyit- lianas that, WA all, horse, gun and man, fell in different directions.

The buffalo, on tossing the horse, had stopped dead, and now stood with his i head lowered within a few feet of me. I had fallen in a sttting position and facing my unpleasant-looking adversary. I could see no wound on him, so must have'missed, though I can scarcely understand how, as he was so very close when I fired. However, I had not much time for speculation, for the old brute after glaring at me for a few seconds with his sinister-looking blood-shot eyes, finally made tip his mind, and with a grunt,, rushed at me.

Luckily for me he did not turn again, as he most certainly would have done had he been wounded, but galloped clean away. The first thing to be done was to look after my horse, and at about 150 yards from where he had been tossed I found him. The buffalo had struck him ::'ull in the left thigh; itwasan awful wound, aud as the poor beast was evidently in the last extremity, I hastily loaded my gun and put him out of his misery.

She was carefully observed by physicians and nurses in the hospital to ?VAr?At?A/l OT>^ /lO VVJLL1UU BULC v> r*0 iguiUrcvi. anu vau be 110 doubt as to the authenticity of the statements ...ade in regard to her, and the small quantity of nutriment that was prescribed had to be administered by forcing her month open. She had normal sleep at night, but during the day lay wholly motionless, and apparently without cessation or consciousness. At first ranch emaciated, her nnpearance subsequently became fresh ai;d healihy. About the beginning of the year she suddenly recovered her power of tpeeeh and was i;con wholly I reiiored in other respects. She is now j entirely well. It is also said that dur-1 i'jg the whole period of her suspended ! animation she was fully cognizant of | everything thai took pla^e about her.

Steam vessels for whaling have proved highly profitable. The first one ever sent out from the Pacific coast was the Mary and Helen, which cleared last year enongh to pay her entire cost and $-10,000 beside?. The second venture, that of the I clvidere, has come back from a voyage ol only six months with $100,000 worth of oil above the invest ment. The great snccess of these steamers is likely to revive the business of whaling. A successful trial trip through the St. Gothard tunnel under the Alps has been made by a train of cars, and the work is : about to be opened to traffic. It is des j lined 10 araw ltaiy ana creruiuuy uiuoeir together, and will exercise an important influence upon the politics as well as the commerce of those nations. Railway traffic between the German and Italian cities has heretofore been compelled to make a long detour to the east and go through the Tyrol over steep grades, tr a still longer detour to the west by way of the Monnt Cenis tunnel and France. Now it can go by a direct route under the Alps and through Switzerland. ?? The French minister of agriculture : has published an official estimate of the [ i j *? ^ r\r\i v - _ T. xl_ 1 ! Harvest lor j.soi, m wmcn me nximuer of acres sown in cereals is given at 17,500,000, showing an increase of nearly half a rniliii iv acres on last year. The crops, however/ were not so good as they were the year before, the total yield of wheat being put at 33,000,000 quarters, or nearly 1,500,000 less than in 1880, while the average yield per acre was only fourteen and one-quarter j bushele, or a bushel less than last year, j The yield of rye was about 8,000,000 J quartern, or about 500,000 quarters less than in 1880 ; bo that France will have to import breadstuffs in large quantities. The holes in silver coins, which have j become of late so general a nuisance, are | nsually attributed to a nefarious industry which seefcs to save clippings or puDchings of the metal. Doubtless this slow and laborious mode of accumulating a fortune may be practiced to some extent; but is it the chief cause of the perforations ? Some light may be ! thrown upon this question by large or- j ders lately received at the United! States mint, outrunning any possibility j r>f snnnlv. for new dimes, "to be used i for bangles." Perhaps, if tbo truth j were known, a remarkably large fraction j of the perforated silver pieces wonld be I found due not to a wish to cheat, but to j their use as ornaments, the holes being i necessary for the wire or cord that fastens them, and when they become dull by age and wear they are discarded for prosaic use as money. The United States emigration statis- j tics for 1881 are startling in their mag- \ \ nitude. There came across the ocean ; to settle in the United States in 1881 the enormous number of 432,635 persons. Never before in the history of the country has the tide of foreign popnlation risen to snob. a height as this. The emigrants of this single year wou'd maka three new States, each with in| habitants enough under the practice of Congress to come into the Union; or if j thrown together in a single community they wo aid constitute one of the largest cities in the countrv.

The migrating impulse has seized "upon only one of the Latin countries, Italy, which contributes 13,209. It is feebly felt in contented and prosperous France, from which come only 8,908, and still more feebly in Spain, which is by no means prosperous and is in a state of chronic discontent, for but 1,556 of her people are on the list. The Railway Age has given repeated and eiir st attention to the urgent nee'1' -ae general and comprehensive plan f. insaring the lives and health of railway employes, and also of some j plan for providing for them after age or accident have unfitted them to earn a livelihood. The advantages of such a syst9m have been widely recognized by railway officials and employes. Within a few months the idea has taken practical shape, and, with the cordial support of some of the most influential railroad men in the country, articles of incorporation have been filed in Iowa, j where the State laws are favorable to ! such organizations, for " The Consolidated Railway Life and Accident Insurance Company," with a proposed I capital of $25,000,000. "This," says I the Railway Age, "was the necessary preliminary step. It now remains for the incorporators to meet and decide upon the various details of organization, and of course these will be very carefully studied, and no feature which j could be reasonably objected to by j either railway officers or employes will ba allowed. The proposed company should bo in the broadest sense ' 'mutual,' and in no sense ' a clo3e corporation.' The capital stock is placed large enough not only to make the insurance absolutely secure but to give railway men of all clasees an opportunity to participate in the good work, and also to share the profits, if there are any, by i taking stock, all being placed on pre- [ cisely the same footing." Changed Bis Name. William North Steuben, writing in the Christian Union, gives the history of the soldier Arnold who changed his name to Steuben. He says that he is [ the youngest of 11 children born to that old soldier since the family name was | changed, and that the change of name at first was not sought after by his father. That event was brought about under the following circumstances: WhilA "Ram-n Steuben was liafceniner ! to the roll call of a Connecticut regi- i ment of infantry under command of a ! Colonel Huntington, the name Sergeant j Jonathan Arnold struck his ear. He im-! mediately ordered the soldier to the ! front, which order was promptly obeyed, j and after a careful inspection of person and equipments, and finding both fault- j less, he remarked, " Well, well, you are | too likely a man and good soldier to bear j *he name of a traitor. I advise yon by all i means to change your name. "What name ' shall I take, general?'' "Any other is ; preferable. My name is at your service, : if you like it. Come to my marqnee, : soldier, after parade." After whicb. ar- j ransrements were made and the surname j cf Steubon was adopted by my father in j lien of Arnold. This was some time j after confirmed by an act of the legisla- ; ture of Connecticut. I have now in my ; possession a certified copy of the memorial and act of snid legislature by which | the change of name was made legal, j One incident more has been commented on, e., in relation to the name of the first-born. On which occasion my father Mnnooi'jsd a nnmo from the barf jo. and i received the following reply, " Call the lad Frederick William, after my own j name, and I will educate the boy and give him one-third of the land that j Congress gives me.'* i RELIGIOUS READING. jl Christianizing a Tara. j ( At St. Paul's, Onslow Square, Lou- ; t don, recently, a christening tock place ; t sufficiently unique in character to draw ; f [ A'rAfli A* o n vMrrt^ne.i rt'vrxTrOfTnllATI ! . bugciaicrx aami iwcusc vuug-v^i.uvM. . j Tewfik, who was imprisoned by the j < Turkish government, and Jay under j \ sentence of death, for taking part in the j \ translation of the English Prayer Book j} into his native language, was received ' into the English Church. At 4 o'clock, ' amidst the strains of the organ, this j small, dark refugee, looking very much like a prisoner, clothed in a long, black robe, with fez and turban, was brought up the aisle under the escort of his godparents, Archdeacon Philpot, Sir William Muir and Mrs. Webb Peploe, who < placed him in a seat close to the font, ' and immediately under the gallery. ] Meanwhile Dr. Kohler mounted the pulpit, and ga^e an interesting and im- ' pressive account of what it cost the con- : vert to renounce Mohammedanism. At the end of the discourse, Dr. Kohler came up the aisle to the font, in which stood the three sponsors. The meekest j of the Turks was then led to his place, where he stood in an attitude of profound reverence, not with his head ; down, but with his head elevated toward heaven, and his careworn face bedewed with emotion. When he knelt, with his face still up, his attidude was painfully ; suggestive of instant execution. When Mr. Peploe had finished his part of the service in English, Dr. Kohler repeated it in Turkish, during which Ahmed Tewfik betrayed the writhings o^ the spirit in a series of groans and Oriental mntterings, bui gave out the responses with great clearness, and all the solemnity due to his translation from one religion to another. When all was over, he gravely raised the Christian hands of Dr. Kohler and Mr. Peploe, and kissed them with Christian lips, and then received the congratulations of some clergymen and friends.?London World.

Bags instead of plates hav<3 been introduced in many parishes in England to receive the offerings of the congregations. The amount of the contributions has consequently fallen off, copper coins taking the place of silver and gold. A few Sundays ago a Liverpool clergyman preached upon the subject, taking for his text the words, "Alexander the eoppersmitn nam aone me inuuu uum. The sermon had a good effect, the contribution at its close being ranch larger than usual. Our Western Forests. There is no question that should attract the attention of the government mora urgently than the preservation of the forests, especially in the far "West. The celebrated Sir Samuel Baker has given his observations on this subject. He says that "the extensive and wanton burning of the Eocky Mountain woodlands was an evil of such magnitude that he was astonished to find hundreds of square miles in a blaze, carrying on the march of devastation until quenched by a heavy rainfall or arrested by the high mountain tops above the timber line. The reckless miners and thoughtless hunters, traders and travelers who are responsible for this prodigious waste Dia iair to convert lerwie vuue/s and copious river sources into arid deserts and dried up gulches." The testimony of Sir Samuel Baker only confirms what we have been hear- J ing from innumerable sources during , the past few years. America is richly endowed with forest land, and the | squandering of it by allowing railroad j corporations to cut down timber for fuel, as is the custom with the Califor- j nia roads; by neglecting the forests and j failing to plant new trees, will in time j bring upon our Western countries, as j serious a calamity as that which has be- j fallen Spain and Syria. The discom- i forts and inconveniences attending | many sections^of Spain, especially the | arid, rocky country surrounding Madrid, are attributed to the w?nton destruction of the forests. With the removal of trees we have a lessening of the volume of rainfall. To show how foolish our American j people are on this subject, or how infirm j the government is in protecting public j rights, we need only point to the fact j that while in Wyoming and Washington I UJJU v/reguu tiie ^.CUJJAC vrjv>iwuij utomuj I magnificent forests, in Kansas and Ne- j braska the states are making appropria- J tions for the planting of trees. The j Interior .Department conld do no better . service than to take np this question i and insist npon Congress passing an act: bringing the whole question of forestry j either within the control of the States j or the national authorities. It will have | to be done sooner or later, as is the case I now in Germany and France. We had j better do it, while we have trees than | liter, when we shall have to wait a half j century for their growth.?N&c York j Herald. _____ An Elephant Hotel.

I asked what the remedy was and he replied, "St. Jacobs Oil/' Mr. Pastor said that he considered the Great German Bemedy an excellent , preparation for the cure or relief of rheumatism, and that it was the only thing used among professional people for that distressing complaint. He took bottles of it with him whenever he went traveling, and would not be without it,and knew that it was very popular with a number of memDers of his own company. The foregoing, from the Brooklyn (J?. Y.) Enrp.e, recalls to our mind an item wherein the editor of the Cairo (HL) Evening Sun, In paying atribute to the enterprise of the St Louis fw-XwjxUch and expr-^ssing his sorrow at the loos by . ere which the latter paper sustained, says: "The f i, whole office was knocked into ten thousandr ?" <"*?? admrtiafc. ' pieces?all except me ot. jaww ment, which was mercifully preserved," Thg closing remarks in the above and the following - n incident are a true index of the unexampled popularity the Great German Remedy enjoys everywhere: At a St Louis theatre recently whilst the play was in progress, one of the lady performers met with a painful mishap, which quite disabled her. The hero of the piece, equal to tlie emergency, called out to one ot the ushers to "bring a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil quietly." >( The thundering applause throughout the entire house which promptly followed this happy suggestion was an unmistakable proof of the factthat the audience "had been there themselves," as the expression goes, and experienced the benefts of this wonderful ariicle. Mr. Charles A. Whitney, advertising agent of Park Garden, Providence, R. I., writes: "For three years I had inflammatory rheumatism in my right hip and knee. I employed many noted physicians, and tried numerous remedies fbrthe ailment, but found nothing to help me until I used the Great German Remedy, St. Jacobs Oru whichcuredmeatonce.
