A Kc?v Woman. Mrs. Miriam Fiorence Leslie, the Widow of the well-known publisher, has upon application to the courts of New York, had her name changed to Frank Leslie, the name her husband bore. It was not a mere whim with her, but a business idea, as she-wishes to perpetuate the name of Frank Leslie publishing house, cf which she is now !the proprietor and manager.

A correspondent writes to the London Qaeen: Idoct .no* whether it made much way in the provinces, of which my acquaintance and experience are small, but in and about London for twenty miles round there is hardly a large family, blessed with an average endowment of girls, in which one of them is not learned or destined to learn the violin. I often attend the practices or concerts given by many amateur m: musical societies in and aroxwd .London, j and generally find young ladies among | [the lanks of the violin players. On all | iridea there is abundant evidence that the movement is general and strong, i The violin dealers and masters tell the same story, and I cannot donbt that ten j years hence the violin will be far more common in the hands of younj ladies than ever it was in former days among their fathers and uncles. A Danish Wedding. Among the Danes marriage is an especially curious attair. xne orices | ? clothe themselves in a color fitting its | solemnity. The yoang couple first re- I jmired to the minister's honse to complete their toilet and compose their cands, and then walit-d in order to the kirk. The service, which occupied half an honr, began by the precentor, in a deep bass voice, singing a long hymn, ' jehich was nearly a solo, and then reading from the service book. Presently tin bridegroom waiked from his seat to ihe altar, depositing thereon a coin ; on his return the bride did the same. At length the minister, who had been all the time visible in the vestry, came out and read other portions, on which the happy pair, this time together, repaired igain to the altar, and after suitable questions and answers were of twain kagally made one. The ring is given not at the marriage, but at the betrothal, at which each accepts the symbol UUUt but? uiiici, aiiu wcaio m , a jtuiuantee this against flirtation, or a method for i?-R exposure, sitooid it tmhap; ij occur. *" ' I Fashion Notes.

FAB2T, GABDE-Y A5D HOUSEHOLD. Hoof Rot* A very careful herdsman sayg his practice of curing hoof rot is to thoroughly cleanse the affectsd part3 with warm. water and soap, and then apply warm tar between the hoofs. In very bad cases there will be a large core to come cut. Remove it carefully with the thumb and finger, cleanse the cavity as above with soap and water, and fill if tpifV? tPorrr> tor fna fuvM *-L?i ?u niiu nuiui c Mi parts thoroughly covered with tar, even if it is necessary to use a bandage.

Cabbage Culture. fahbaTft -will thrivA on anv ronr! finm land, though the stronger the soil the better they will develop. New land is : preferable. Plow deep and manure very liberally. The early 6orts bear planting j from eighteen inches to two feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two to two and a-half feet apart; the large varieties to be from two to four feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two and a-half to fonr feet apart, the distanco varying with the size. The crop should receive as many as three hoeings and three cultivaticgs. Cabbage will not usuallv follow cabbaze or turnips successfully in field culture, nnless three or four years have intervened between the crops. Eow to Checkmate the Cnt Worm. At a meetiQg of the Oxford (0 ) Farmers' Olab the cut worm was a topic for discussion. Two of the members advocated having enough growing clover in the turned sod to furnish food for tee worms, so that these would net need the corn. B. H. Brown said a good plan is to always let the clover sod stand until the clover is ten to twelve inches high before plowing for corn. Other members had more faith in fall plow1 ing than all other remedies proposed. This dislodges the young things from their winter quarters when they are weak and exposes them to the fall birds and frosts. Pigs turned in on the fall plowing will destroy cut worms and also grubs. Aspar-tcni. Long essays are written every year i about planting asparagus, preparing the beds, etc. Mr. Joseph Harris tells much of the story in a few simple words. Make the soil rich and mellow. Sow early in the spring in rows fifteen inches apart. "When the young plants appear, weed and hoe and thin out tc six inches apart in the row. The next spring set out the plants in a permanent bed of deep, rich soil. Mark out the rows three to four feet apart, and set the plants fifteen inches apart in the rows, or if grown for market on a large scale, set the plants four feet apart each way, so that the cultivator can be run through the rows in both directions. Bich land, clean cultivation and plenty of room will insure rapid growth and large, ten der shoots. Ona Variety of fowls Eaoush. The Poultry Monthly says tha;, a3 a rule, one variety of fowls is enough for almost any person to manage successfully and profitably, and this is especially true with beginners, who have to gain their experience in all the varied details of poultry management. If a breeder has been successful with one variety, has not merely made good sales, bus has produced birds of such a high order of merit that the stock makes a good advertisement and a permanent one for the breeder, it can be taken for I granted that it will pay to take up one or more breeds, provided the same care is bestowed upon each variety as was lormeriy accorded tee single Dreed, and provided there are ample conveniences, room and quarters for them. It seldom pays to attempt raising pocr breed poultry, unless there is ample room, both in yards and houses, for they must have this to insure their healthfulness and consequent profit. Protection from Inaect Attack. Professor J. A. Lintner, in a paper read before the New York Horticultural society, on preventive and remedial measures practiced in protecting plants and trees from the attacks of insects, urges the employment of the former whenever practicable, upon the grounds that it is more economical, more effective and often more convenient. To start with, Professor Lintner grants the importance of a husbandry that tends to promote healthful and vigorous plant growth, imparting strength ana vitality wnicn will greauy lessen insect Injury, and in clean culture, wliich shall remove from garden, orchard and field valueless harborage and protection for insect hibernation and transformation; also such change in crops, early or late planting, that may preclude the period of egg deposit In addition to these preventive measures he advises such applications to the soil or plant directly as promise a safeguard against t?te deposit ot insect eggs. AmoDg the substances that have proven efficient in preventing the deposit of eggs are kerosene oil, coal tar, naphthaline, carbolic acid, gas lime and bi-snlphide of carbon. These and other odorons substances prevent egg | deposit, Professor Lirtner argues, beI cause a large proportion of the insect world are guided in the deposit of their eggs not by the sensQ of sight bat by the sense of smell. [Fish FnrmiDff. By attaching a pump propelled by the wind, to a well, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press, you can supply a basin from fifty to seventy-five feet in diameI ter and six to eight feet deep with water sufficient to raise several thousand carp or other fish. The cost of this pofcd and appurtenances need not exceed $50. The bottom and sides need to be cemented thoroughly. "When the basin is complete place in it a small | quantity of brush or floating weeds. If you intend to raise carp do not place other fish of a predatcry character in the pond. The spawning will occur during the spring months, the femaie * - ? ~ ? ^ Ct-r+ t-Vi? .W fOT/^ f A fitra T*T*?_ 11VJJJLL JUX*JJ U1A\J UC0UU WV MTV dred thousand eggs. The eggs will adhere to whatever they touch and will soon hatch. The green scum of a partially stagnant pond is fine food for the young fish. Mad in the bottom of the I pond is beneficial. The fish will feed readily on kitchen garden refuse, snch ; as cabbage, lettuce, hominy or other j substances. Wafcer seldom becomes ; too warm for these fish. During freezing weather they bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of the pond. While in this condition they should not be disturbed. In a pond of given dimen- j sions several tnousana. nsn nave annually been taken. If weeds and grass | grow profusely about the borders of the j pond ,so much the better for the Ssh. In ! t<vo yeara' time you can have a constant i supply of sport and food, and the adj vantage of a pond to assist in beautifyi ing your home. Planting; and Cultivation o 1 Cora. i As soon as tiie weathei has become settled and the ground is warm and dry, whenever tnat may oe, com snouia De ! planted. At the South the work is already began and willb9 accomplished long before the bulk of the crop is planted in the Middle and Eastern States. Early planting, generally j speaking, gives best 1 esult3, hence whatever the latitnde, when the weather and i soil will permit, farmers onght to be ready to drop their seed. The ground must be rich 3nd friable to produce paying yields of corn. Sod land was broken up last fall or during the early winter by experienced farm *" > I--" 1 . 4-1 TTTA.A ers. la louauues wuo:c tiitio wwc corn-stalks to turn under, fall plowing was also in order, as it was at the south where cotton-seed was sown as a fertilizer. "Where spring plowing is to b9 done the plows should be started as soon as the soil is dry enough to admit of it. i''anting corn in drills is now the common practice. Flat culture is in order except on low lands, where culti I " j vating in hills is still practiced. For large-growing varieties of corn the rule is drills from four to five feet apart, while for small corn a distance of three ! feet is sufficient. The plants are thinned ' to from three feet to eighteen inches in the drills, according as the variety may suggest. The seed should not be I covered too deep; two inches are quite j sufficient, and more than enough in mellow ground. The use of the roller I J 1 1 ^ ft 1TAW ttiitsr cue cccu nao yccu umigu j-ll xo generally practiced by progressive farmers. Tne best way to fertilize land for the corn crop is to sow broadcast good manure and plow it in if it be coarse, or barrow it in if well pulverized and decomposed ; where commercial fertilizers are employed sow these broadcast and harrow in. While it is generally conceded to b8 a mistake to depend alone on concentrated fertilizers placed in hill or drill, these are often employed in connection with the manure sown broadcast, as they insure an early start ?a good point gained when planting has been delayed. When concentrated fertilizers are nsed in hill or drill care should be observed that the seed does not come in direct contact with these; let a covering of earth intervene. Cultivation ought to begin early and be repealed often enough to keep the weeds down and the gronnd mellow until the corn is in tassel, when it mast cease. In the cultivation of this crop the cultivator has largely taken the place of the hoe. Under present modes of culture suckering is usually dispensed with, except from small porticos of a field where seed corn is to be i gathered. Boot priming, for a time advocated, has failed to gain favor, therefore the seed once germinated, shallow culture is in order. The importance of planting carefully selected seed, also seed adapted to the latitude and soil in which it is to grow, is too well understood to need nrging here ; but the cannon to teet an seed previous to planting, over which the shadow of a suspicion rests, may not prove amiss. ?York World.

An exchange asks: If i? is possible to transmit a portion of the power of Niagara through electric wires to a point fity miles distant, why should it not be possible to transmit the whole of that power, which now goes to waste, a distance of 500 or 5,000 miles? The French electrician, M. Puprez, iias demonstrated by experiment the possibility of doing the former, and the accomplishment of the other seem to be only a question of perseverance. The time "will therefore come "when every waterfall, every mill stream and every rivulet even can be utilized as a motive force in cities, towns and villages. The steam engine will become as antiquated as the old-fashioned oil lamp is now. Since electricity has been proven capable of being used as a motive power at ail t7ae grand desideratum ha3 been to discover some means of generating it at a less cost than has been possible heretofore, and the result is that the aquatic force which has been of but very little use to man heretofore is to be made his most valuable servant. The question of cheapening the electric light, which has hung like a cloud over ? * n ^ ii. . if.il _ 3 3 ice luture m xne capitalist's mina, ana > has dimmed even its brilliant rajs, is I thereby solved, for if the force can be had for the mere taking from every running channel of water in the land, why, then the main cost i?t at once swept away. When, further, this force is carried, with the assistance of a simple wire, to any point where it is needed, industrial revolution will have been accomplished, the consequence of which it is difficult to measure in its entirety. The tides being likewise added to this available force there is more than enongh for all. the present and possible future demands cf the world.

When a person is taken sick, first find ont what ails him; then set to work to equalize the circulation. In a fever, seek to keep the body always at normal temperature, determining tnis oy tne pnlse and thermometer. Set the excret-ories to work, and the poison passes out. Stimulating substances, such as beefsteak, coffee, liquor, drags, etc., are ob-' jectionable for the reason that to the degree that they stimulate do they excite the heart's action, thereby evolving strength from nerve centers already drained. They make one feel strong for the time, by an increased expression of vital force, from which follows a corresponding weakness and decreased expression of vitality. To avoid cold follow these suggestions: There is bnt one way to keep the bodv healthfully warm, and that is to wear sufficient clothing, dressing differently as the wither changes. On cold, rainy days ono requires thicker clothing than when the snn pours down hot and sultry It is a popular idea in this country that if we wear specially warm clothing in the house, our ulsters and great coats will afford us no extra protection when we go out. But this is disproved by every one's experience, if people will only think of the facts which have come within their own observation. Most persons must have noticed that, after sitting in a theater which is insufficiently heated, and getting chilled in a greater or less degree, the putting on of costs and cloaks when L - _ i. i jr. .1 3 : going ouG seems zo nave no eneci, ana I the chill which remains is apt to result j in a severe cold. On the other hand, if an overcoat is kept on in a cold theater, so that the wearer feels oomfortable, his warmth continues after he goes cut, and his change of temperature does not bring the expected effect, notwithstanding that no addition is made to clothing. Such an experience as this should convince us that the wearing of clothing made especially for warmth should not be confined to the open air, but that the indcor draughts and occasional ohilliness,to which every one is more or les3 subject, should be provided against by always wearing warm clothing, in at.- r -at -t i :l wo iurm miner ux an eiura esiuii ui ii.aunels, or of an outer-coat or dressinggown.

Afcor crossing the line she floon picked up the northeast trade3, carrying tham "to their utmost northern li< ait. ; But, as the London Shipping Gazette states, "when passing the Cape de Verde Islands, though fully six hnndred mile3 to the westward of them, the Berean's sails and rigging were thinly coated with a very fine powdery dust of a dark yellow or faffron color, scarcely discernible on or near the deck, but profuse on the highest parts of the rigging," so that the sails appeared "tamed." Fine dust'falling on vessels m the Atlantic near the Cape de Verde archipelago has often been reported, but it has go often been of a reddish hue that it is known among sailors as "red fog." In Lyons, Genoa, Sicily and other parts of Southern Europe the same phenomenon, giving rise to "blood rains," has frequently been recorded, and twenty cases, t>etween 1803 and 1870, have been collected by Flammarion occuring in JULUUMC, upuu buo iL.au ?. i ufessor Ehrenberg microscopically found the Atlantic dust rich in infusorial forms belonging to equatorial South Amerioi the "red fogs" have been by many scientists thought to be the transport of atmospheric currents in the high strata from the valleys of the Oronoco and Amazon rivers. The recent observations on board the Berean are of great interest as overthrowing this conclusion and determining the African origin both of the-Atlantic dnst and the so-called "blood rains" of Southern Enrope. Admiral Smyth many years ago reported during his stay in Sicily, on the 14th of March, 1814, a "blood rain," which fell "in large, muddy drops, and deposited a very minute sand of a yellow red color"?quite similar to that now reported by the Berean. Thi3 eminent physicist at that early day regarded it as ''sirocco dnst" from the African desert, "crowning the beautiful theory of atj^oppheric circulation." Both on the Atlantic ocean and in Europe these rains of dust have almost invariably fallen between January and April?a period of the year in which the Sahara is most arid. The unusual force which the Berean and other vessels during the past winter found in the northeast trades (which swept the rainless African belt) affords conclusive i3 IL.L J.1 ?_t_ _ U1 I eviaence tuut tut) rexii&riiuuje pucuumc non jast reported was due to dust transported by the winds from Africa. The Berean'a log, therefore, cannot but be of great interest and instruciiveness to meteorologists, as furnishing them with a vivid illustration of the law of atmospheric movements within the tropics. ?[New York Herald. Ts.nderbilt's Daughters. Seeing William H. Yanderbilt reminds me, says a New York correspondent, of his recent purchase on Fifth avenue. One might well imagine that with four of the most costly mansions in America in his immediate family a feeling of contentment would steal over his soul?at least in the matter of mansions. The majority of men would in deed feel satisfied with one $4,000,000 residence without rushing np three others, but "William H. is peculiar," as he commodore nsed to say. His new purchase is an extensive plot of ground on the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street. He proposes to build two mansions for his only two children who are unprovided for in that way. These are his daughters, Mrs. Knapp and 3Irs. Seward Webb. When the last-named married Dr. Webb, the millionaire fatter made her a bridal present of the old?that is, eight years old?Vanderbilt mansion, on tho corncr of Fortieth street and Fifth avenue, with all its furniture and pictures intact. This was a princely gift, but it didn't suit the fair bride, who has lived in the 84,000,000 mansion ju3t long enough to be discontented with anything that will not rank first among the Fifth avenue palaces. When the paternal builder heard her discontent he was delighted at another chance at building and immediately resolved to put up two instead of one palace. When he has done there is a terrible fate in store for him. There will be no more children to build mansions for! The glooja and horror that mnst inevitably come upon him at the thought will shatter his naturally strong constitution, unless, indeed, he takes a new lease of life and begins to build for his grandchildren. That will be a colossal tasb, :as their name is legion; but I believe the old man would tackle it with avidity. If he does we'll have to change the name from Fifth to Vanderbilt avenue, and the few mansions that are not in this remarkable family c*n only be distinct by conspicuous signs reading : "This house has no connec.ion with XT. - TT_ 3 __ V -1 ? ? 91 tue vauaeroms. " Singular Hallucination. A French paper mentions as an extraordinary instance of hallucination that ono of the members of the executive council of the bank of Brussels was many years ago seized with the conviction that his legs were of glass, and positively refa&ed to move. A financial crisis came, involving to some extent the bank. Mr. B. got up and went to Brussels, where by his energy and skill, ne largely assisted in getting wawio straight. At tie end of a month he ;retnrned homa,'"remarked how marvelous it was t&at .'he had not smashed even one of his iegs, and taking to his bed onc3 more never again left it ; / llji! RELIGIOUS BEADING# The Pnltn Tree. There are dietricts of Tinnevelly, in ; Southern India, where the soil is so dry ! and sandy that it is surprising anything | I will crrni:7 "Vcf TuVioro fVuo rviTilflrT rr-H sand prevails for miles we have walked ! through plantations of the stately Pal- j myra palm, the great stlms rising to an i immense height, and the trees in the i most vigorous health. Here- iS else- | where, the 63p flows most finely at the j hottest time of the year, and when the j soil is without vegetation and almost | without substance, when the only shade ! is that ca3t by these branchless trees from their narrow crowns of leaves, when the only clouds are clouds of dust, "when the streams are dry and the wells are exhausted, and the largest rivers are only a bed of glowing sand," there is the singular spectacle of these stately trees flowing continually with their fountains of sweet water. Ho:-? is it possible ? we often asked. Bishop Caldwell, whose house lies close to such a desert, tried to answer that qnestion for himself. He dag into the ground to observe the course of the roots, but as deep as he dug "the thread-like root3 of the palm burrowed deeper," until at last, "when forty feet below the surface he came upon water;" and here the roots, drinking in the refreshing moisture, penetrates even further among gravel and stones, and he could follow them no more. The riddle was solved; and any one may feel what a new beauty it gives to the comparison here. Tfce roots of the Christian life sink down into the "living waters. Thoy are fed from the perennial fountains of the Spirit far out of sight. And the service and freshness of that life, and all the influences that flow from it, do not depend on what we see, for the soil where such a life grows is often spiritually barren, but they depend upon the roots striking down among the lining waters. ?[Good Words.

Fnsilasre and lis I'renaration This word, which is only a few years old, grows out of the discovery made by a Frenchman, Auguste Goffari, that green crops, when stored in water-tight pits called silos, nnder a heavy pressure do not rot, bnt are preserved fresh and sweet, and retain all their nutritive juices for a year or more; and that, when offered to cattle in this condition in the winter, are preferred to any dry food. It is not surprising that the discovery made a senration among farmers ar;d cattle-feeders in this country, and that there is exhibited a keen desire to know all about it; for not only can a great deal more in weight of green food than dry be raised on an acre, but ensilage possesses the advantage of supplying cattle with succulent summer food in the winter-an advantage of great value to milch cows. Any green crop that stock are fond of when in a growing state is good material for ensilage? grass, clover, rye, young corn, sorghum, and vegetables; but, corn, clover and the grasses are most generally used, because when growing they are full of iuice. which is lost in curing hay or dodder, but preserved in the silo. Several kinds of green crops may be packed in the same silo, and the ensilage is said to be improved by the variety. Con>, either drilled and cultivated or sown broadcast, and in its most jtiicy condition, is the basis of most ensilage experiments in this country; it may be packed in the same silo with clover or grass of any kind cut green, and successive crops of corn may be planted for mixture with different kinds of grasses in their season. As it is estimated that ten to twenty tons' weight of green crops may be cut from aD acre of good soil?five to ten ti mes as much as the weight of adry crop of (Train or hay?it is easy to see how much more profitable it is to save green crops in the form of ensilagp than to allow them to mature and dry. Mr. J. W. Wolcott of Boston, who owns a farm near that city, raised 460 tons of ensilage on thirty-four acres?being fourteen tons to the acre? la3t year. By raising two crops on the same soil he has gathered as much as twenty-one tons per acre. On one piece of ground ne gathered thirty-one tons per acre, but "that corn was fourteen feet high," he says. *x'e adds: "I am satisfied that an acre of ground will fceep a cow twenty-four months." When the silo is opened in winter the contents are fonnd in a sort of cheesy condition, and require to be eliced off with a sharp ax. They have undergone a slow and slight fermentation v .ch does not impair their merits as feed and not offensive to cattle. Indeed, the first smell of ensilage is ?aid to '"set cattle wild for it," and they prefer it to any other kind of feed. Silos are variously constructed. The usual plan is to dig pits ten feet wide, fifteen feet deep, and as long as may be desired, on sloping ground, and make them water-tight with cement. Mr. C W. Mills, of Pompton., N. J., prefers to build a strong frame, boarded up tight and close with thick lumber, entirely -1- cnmnhVi in or in f.hfi tfcUU VC LJUC 2C1UUMU) -? . fashion of an ice-house. The green I crops may be packed into them, either | whole or cut np with a cntter; each plan < has its advocates, thongh the weight of opinion is in favor of cutting, as it allows of closer packing. As the crops are thrown in they are trodden down as closely near the edges as possible, and I when the silo is full it is covered and ; weighted with heavy rocks or earth, and \ then sheaaed over to protect it from the weather. In a few weeks the ensilage is "ripe," and ready for nse. One end of the silo, if built along the ground may be opened and the ensilage cut out and fed as it is wanted. Its quality will depend on the crops of which it is made and the care with which it is packed away. Nearly all animals will eat it; cattle like it and thrive on it; and for milch cows it is particularly valuable, as ic increases their flow of milk and keeps them in a cheerful, VioaHTiv rendition.?fllissouri Republi- i can.

So we have a total of eighteen and three-quarter cents per day, or $G6 GO per year, or $22.20 for each person; and a3 wages here for ordinary work is $1.20 per day, if you board yourself, it would take less than mreen days' xaoor to provision eacu uno year on a fall supply of the best grain and the choicest fruits, giving the best health and gestatory pleasure ; and as in the experiment we nsed them all uncooked, the only preparation necessary to be performed was a few minutes' time each day preparing the grain in a steel hand-mill, not equal to more than five minntes for each person."

"While I was in Topeka last winter/' eaid the Hon. Arthur Edgington, "I had a pretty rough time of it I got a bad cold, and then, that not being sufficiently severe, I was also attacked with rheumatism. The pain was in my left shoulder. At times I almost writhed in agony. I tell you, sir, that the pain could not have been greater had my shoulder been screwed up in a vise. I was utterly helpless, and felt like I was destined to remain in that condition indefinitely. My friends and a physician were generom in their prescriptions and my room soon became a miniature apothecary 6hop But nothing did me any good. One day some one told me I was enduring a great deal of needless pain when I could invest fiitv cents in a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil and be cured. I invested in a bottle of the Oil, rubbed it on my shoulder twice, and in two days forgot that I ever had rheumatism. Yes, that is a great remedy, and no mistake They can't say too much in favor of its healing power.'' The above was uttered by Mr. Edgington while sitting on the porch of the LaGonda house, at Columbus, the other evening, and was overheard by an escaped reporter, who ia traveling over the country incog.
