Take Care of Things. It is not always possible to obtain fresh food from day to day as it is desir ed, and hence the necessity of preserving meats and vegetables in snch a manner that they will not lose either their flavoi or their wholesomeness. If proper carc be taken, a variety of summer or autumn vegetables may be preserved for wintei use. Meats also may be preserved. General rules for the preservation of food ara somewhat deceptive, but economical reasons exist for the restricted exercis( of this art.- The principal consists ii excluding the evil oxidizinginfluencesoi air aud moisture. In dry goods this i; done by keeping them dry and warn and closely covered up. Starch, rice, tapioca, sago, macaroni, vermicelli, su gar, sweetmeats, jams, salt, and dried and salted meats, tea, coffee, etc., re quire the same treatment; and thej should be kept in separate closets frona odorous goods, such as candles and soap, or they will catch the objectionable fla vor. But with most fresh organic sub stances a different treatment is necessarj to attain the same end. They contain ir their own texture sufficient moisture and air to oxidize them into decomposition, and the more stagnant these are the more surely do the chemical actions result. II is necessary, therefore, to let them have free ventilation; their external surface should be frequently wiped, or at least blown over by a cm ret' of air, so as to let the old moisture escape and fresh be absorbed. Thus meat should be hung in an open larder and be often dried. Lemons should be purchased in the sum mer, and suspended in nets for use at the tima when they are dear. Onions and garlic should be strung up in an out house, and not in the larder. Parsley, thyme, mint, and other herbs should be dried in the wind, out of the Ran, and then each should be put in a separate paper bag, and hung up in the kitchen. ?xier? ?u[uea9 puura uuu uiiewi/imis urc ' stored, the window should be left open and fruit frer; - :;tfy turned. Too much draught make vegetables withy; so they should be laid ou stone floorB behind the door. Potatoes are best stocked in dry sand. The date when each article is stored should be written down for futuro refer ' ence, so that proper attention may bo given them.' Eggs are an exception to the usual rule respecting organic sub stances. They cannot be treated in the same way, by reason of their structure, yet it is impossible to avoid keeping them for culinary purposes. They are best preserved by being washed over with a solution of gum and packed iu a box of bra i, which is to be turned ovec every dav. Potatoes an Food for Stock. Potatoes in many localities distant from market are this season so abundant and cheap that they can only be used to advantage for feeding out to 6tock. It is true that certain agricultural writers have of late endeavored to show that this valuable tuber was of little or no value for such purposes, but it is very proba ble that the gentlemen who advance such theories are not practical agriculturists. The value of the potato as food for man and many of our domestic asimals is too 1 " known to be discarded?; this late ienoe of which j may bo written by theoretical chemists or agriculturists. But while the potato has been a bone of contention among agriculturists for many years, its practical and specific value as fooil for 6tock has never been disproved when, put to test. The cele brated veterinarian, William Youatt, in speaking of the value of the various kinds of roots as food for stock, says of the potato : "Among the various vege table productions that have been appro priated to the stall-feeding of cattle, none have occasioned greater discussion than potatoes. They furnish an excel lent supply, particukrly when cut and steamed, they appear adequate to the fattening of neat cattle iu combination with comparatively small portions of other food." Mr. Campbell, of Charl ton, England, observes that 100 bushels of potatoes and 700 pounds of hay are generally sufficient to fatten any animal that thrives tolerably 'well. They should at first be given in small quantities and gradually increased to ono or two bushels per day ; dry food being always inter mixed, and the proportion of hay being uniformly regulated by tho effect which the potatoes produco on tho bowels. The hay should always be cut in order that it may bo more readily mixed with the potatoes. We might givo almost any amount of testimony from practical farmers and stock raisers to corroborate tho above, but think it entirely unnecessary, as it is quite likely that a majority of our read ers know from experience that potatoes nro valuable food for stock. At the ore sent price of beef, cheese, butter, or pork, wo think our farmers would do u better to feed out their potatoes than to . sell them at twenty cents per bushel and ? ; less, prices at whicn they have been sold L. | in many localities this season. Potatoes n j are too heavy and bulky a crop to send n j to a distant market, but they are readily k : turned into beef, cheese, or butter, and () in these forms tho cost of transportation j j is greatly reduced. Bones tor Poultry. [f i Tho various preparations of pure lS ; bones, selected and prepared as ,f ! crushed, granulated, bono meal, etc.,for , : feeding tq poultry, are becoming each ; year more popular, and deservedly so. [1 j The experience of nearly every one who , has given them a faithful trial, has been j | such as to make them constantly patrons y I of the most reliable venders, it being e j invariably found that by a judicious use , | of broken or ground new bone, the r I fowls are healthier, more prolific, stand confinement better, anil acquire less bad habits by confinement. Chickens fed on these preparations to the proper extent will grow to a much bettor size, the use of the bono having the effect to postpone the time when tho bones hard en, or, ia common phrase, set. Chicks are, therefore, such for a great period, and may be kept growiug for a longer time by tho use of bone preparations. Hanged by Accident. /^InafnTTA flncl-i nf W0U7 Vnrlr r?ff7C n/\ J cidentally banged himself. The circum tt : stances and the probable manner of the ft | death are as follows : Guaki was a Ger '* j man, about twenty years of age, and fond s | of practical jokes. Ho had been merry ' | all the afternoon. About 8:15 o'clock in e the evening there was considerable dis , cussion in the store of Mr. Mecke, his employer, about the execution of the B three negroes on December seventeenth. ' Guski said he wondered how they felt ^ when they were hanged, and went into r the ice house and closed the door. He ? found a short piece of small rope, not * over three feet long, which had been , doubled to.hold quarters of meat to the 3 hooks. He made a running loop of this . r rope and slipped the noose over his head. f 1 i The ice box was about six feet hieh. and r i rows of hooks were placed near the top. - | Guski -was about five feet six inches tail, i i and must have risen on his toes in order 1 ; to slip the loop over one of the hooks. 2 j He finally succeeded, however, to let his ) I weight fall upon the noose. The floor [ of the ice box was slippery with gr ase, ; and after he had rested his weight on his _ | neck he could not recover himself. His " ! struggles only closed the noose tighter, ' j and in a very short time he became un 7 j conscious. The tightness of the noose j J prevented Guski from calling for help. I Mr. Mecke wanted Guski about ten * minutes after ho had entered the ice box, and called to him to come out. Re i ceiving no answer, ho went to the en i; trance and threw open the door. He - j wa$ nearly pa-alyzed with alarm at be , holding Guski hanging from the . j hook. His face was livid and his swol ' | len tongue protruded from his mouth, r I His eyes were wide open. Recover > ! inj? his presence of mind, Mr. Mecke i lifted i p the hangiug man and slipped j , the loop off the hook, dragged Guski , i out of the ice box, and laid him on the f floor of the store. The rope had tight- ' I ened aronnd his neck so hard that it - I nearly cut through the flesh. Finding ' ) | uo sign of consciousness, Mr. Mecke ' II called for help. Guski was stripped and 3 i his body was rubbed with brushes to in- | i duce a return of animal warmth. Mean while Dr. Weber was getting up artifi- ^ i ciol respiration. All the attempts at , resuscitation proved unavailing, however, 1 and Dr. "Weber pronounced the man dead. The use of electricity was sug gested, and a strong current was passed : through the regions of the great nerve | | centers. There was a momentary quiver, i i hnt, wiflinnf, thn rlpqirprl rpsnlfr Was it Another Case? The Galveston Ncu'8 says : That the loss of the Waco was occasioned by an ! infernal machine similar to that which ! was intended to demolish the Mosel, seems hardly credible ; yet, according to the testimony of the owners of the j Waco, there was no petroleum stowed : below the upper deck. The "fuss " dis | covered by the divers " in the ship's i lower hold " must have been caused by : something else, and according to the testimony of the mate of the Caledonia, there was an explosion somewhere. Be sides, the mast of the Waco was burned off below deck, and not above, as it would have been had the fire started in i the oil forward. The fact that those on i ; board of some of the vessels anchored in i the offing at the time of the disaster | heard no explosion, may be accounted ' | for -when the raging of the disturbed 1 elements is considered ; a time when ! I even a su iden explosion like that of a i mine of dynamite may be drowned or 1 dissipated in great measure by the angry 1 conflict of winds and waves. The Cale 1 donia lay immediately to windward of I the City of Waco, and was the nearest II vessel to her in that quarter. Hence, 1 an explosion, if there .was any, would 1 have been heard on the Caledonia, if on any vessel in the offing. The fearful suggestiveness of the destruction of the Citv of Waco is ouite as creafc as that connected with the murderous dynamite c which was designed to destroy the 0 Mosel. It is earnestly to be hoped that the government authorities will probe to ? the bottom the marine catastrophe which ^ cast such a gloom over the whole conn- * try, and from which not one human be- ^ iug escaped. ^ Recklessness. An almost incredible case of reckless- v ness was investigated at Barnsley, in England, tho other day. In one of the I Dodworth and Silksconc company's a mines, a certain portion of the workings were officially pronounced "dangeroii9," i and the collieis were warned not to go into it. Nevertheless, two of the men ! who had heard tho warning went into i tho place carrying open lights, and one , of them actually applied his candle to a j " bore hole," and ignited tho gas which i was issuing from it. No serious harm j was done, bnt the act was properly I stigmatized by the owners of the colliery ; as one 01 cno grossest; possiDie recKiess 1 ness. The magistrates thought that a ' penalty of forty shillings and costs would be sufficient, and they imposed it accord ingly.

BEND THE TWItt WHEN GREEN, Thero was once upon a time?as old wives used to say?a husband and wife, who had brought up three daughters, respectively named Karen, Maren and Metty. They might certainly nave oeen recK oned very pretty bad people not known them to be all three quite as stubborn and contradictory, and desirous of bay ing tho last word. Metty was far tbe most disagreeable. By dint of time there came two wooers for the two eldest daughters, who finished by marrying. But it was years before anybody ven tured to make up to Metty. At last, however, even she had a sweetheart. It is true that he came from a long dis tance. The banns were to be published three times, and on the third day after such publication, which had been fixed at an out-of-the-way hour by the bride groom, he and Metty met in church in order to be married. When these par ticulars were settled the man, who was an odd fellow, at once took his depar ture. \_7I1 tut) WtJUlXlllg uaj*, 1/Li.o uiu ^lucuin had made their appearance at church with their daughter. But they had a long timo to wait for the bridegroom. At last he appeared, mounted on an old gray horse, with a musket slung across his breast, a pair of worsted gloves on his hands, and a large dog at his heels. No sooner was the marriage ceremony over than he said to his bride : " Jump on that horse, and place yourself before me, that we may return home." She done so, although her father raised a number of objections. Hecould have wished that the newly-made pair had entered his house first of all, to eat onmoftiinff Tint fViQ new hnnhnnrl would not hear of any such thing, and they went their ways. When they had gone tolerably far the husband let fall one of his gloves. " Pick it up," said he to the dog; but the animal let it lie, for anything he cared. "Pick it up, instantly I" repeated he ; but again the dog did not stir. After having commanded him a third time to do what he had bid him, but T^ith no better success, and without the dog's seeming to care a farthing for his command?, the man took up his gun and shot him dead on the spot. They then went their ways, and reached a wood, where the husband had i mind to take some rest. Our travel 3rs, accordingly, got off their horsos, and put the bridle on his neck. When the man thought they were sufficiently rest ed, he called his horse three times ; but bhe animal took no notice of his master's voice, and went on grazing. On seeing this, the husband took up his gun once more and killed the disobedient horse. On witnessing this sight the wife felt strangely uneasy ; and while continuing her road, determined, come what might, never to contradict her hnsband. Shortly after, he took up a green twig, and folded it so that the two ends would meet, and presented it to his wife, bidding her keep it, till he asked to have it back. The newly married pair then followed their road on foot and arrived without further accident at their farmhouse. Here they lived very happily, for Metty had not forgotten the resolution she had taken in the woods never to con tradict ner nusoana. one always ap peared so gentle and docile that nobody could have suspected that she was the an tractable Metty. Now this is what ber husband said to her one day: "Should we not go and see your father, Metty, to ascertain how he and your good old mother are by this time ?" The wife declared that nothing could please her better; accordingly, the hus band ordered the horses to be harness 3d, and off they went. Towards evening ;hey had overtaken a flock of storks, all ourneying together. "What a quantity of crows I" said the nan. "They are not crows, but storks," laid the woman. " Turn the chaise roand and take us jack home," was the order the husband jave his servant. They accordingly returned from vhence they came. Some time after the husband again isked bis wife if she did not long to see ler aged parents. Of course Metty wished it heartily. )n the road they met a flock of aheep. i xi~~i_ i ~ ?? :_j w nai a large uou& ui wuivea, cricu he husband. " They are not wolves," observed the arife, "butsheep." " Turn round the cart and take us lome," ordered the husband of the ser vant. And this was accordingly done. A third time the farmer asked his ?vife f they ought not to pay a visit to her >ld parents, and as she acquiesed eager y, the old horses were once more har lessed. They had gone over a deal of ground, when they met a flock of hens. "What a quantity of crows," said he husband. " Quite true," said the wife. This time they did not turn back, and riien they reached the dwelling of the >ld folks there were great rejoicings, iaren and Maren likewise came with heir husbands. The mother took her hree daughters into tho room, for she cas very curious to question Metty as to ier mode of living, and to know whether he was satisfied with her husband. )uring this interval, tho father kept fili ng a large jar full of silver coins, which le placed on the table before his sons a-law, saying it would belong with its ontents to the woman who was most bedient. On hearing this, the eldest began to ! ry out: " Karen, my beloved; come j lither for a moment?s3ome, my dearest Caren." But all his appeals were lost ipon Karen. Even when he went into j heir bedroom, and began to urge her, ritli a kind of gentle violence, he could , oc mate ner stir. The Bccond husband fared no better: rith his Maren. It was now the third husband's turn. le merely -wont to tho door, knocked, j nd said : " Come here, Metty." Out she came in a momeut, and in-' uired -whether ho wanted anything. , He answered: "Merely tho sprig 'hich I gave into your keeping when \ ro were in the wood on our wedding I ay." She gave it to him at once, as she al- : rays carried it in her pocket. Then ! lio husband showed it to the others, xying: "Behold!

A POACHER'S VENGEANCE. A Crime that wai Set to the Credit of the (<crman Holdlert In France. A Paris letter to the London Times says: At the Haute Marne assizes a case has been tried, resulting in a capi tal sentenoe, tho circumstances of which deserve publicity. In 1850 a man, still young and of indifferent character, named Kambouillet, who carried on poaching with audacity and success, was surprised by the gamekeeper of a forest in the Haute Marne. An information 1-' -3 1 L l_' WIWJ luiu itgumtiu mm, una ua waa brought before the correctional tribunal, condemned to the forfeiture of his gnn, to a fine, and even, I believe, to im prisonment. Rambouillet received the sentence without a protest, acknowledg ing the offense imputed to him, and re solving to turn over a .new leaf. He kept his pledge, and from 1850 to 1870 he laid himself open to no reproach. He Beemed bent on blotting out by his good conduct the stigma of his con demnation. When he met the game keeper he avoided looking at him, not with the air of a man harboring a grudge, but like a man prevented by Bhamefrom enconntei ing the witness of his fault. It was observed. However, cnat no oiten isolated himself from others, and fre quently passed his time in wandering about the fields without its being known whither he directod his steps. This also was attributed to regret for his delin quency. He regained public esteem, and his son married honorably. Strange to say, Rambouillet was gov erned for twenty years by a single idea, that of vengeance. His apparent con trition, the rectitude of his conduct, his sadness, and his gestures, were all di rected toward one aim?vengeance. For twenty years, morning, noon, and night, he lay wait for the gamekeeper against whom he had vowed vengeance, and for twenty years that vengeance escaped him. In 1870 the war broke out, tbe Haute JVlarne was invaded, tiie forest in wnicn the gamekeeper lived was occupied by the German troops. One December night, RambouiUet, whom every one supposed to be at a distance from the neighborhood, took his gun, slunk from tree to tree through the Germans occu pying the forest, and, at the risk of be ing captured and shot, facing the great est perils, and rosorting to the most audacious Btratagems, creeping almost on a level with the ground, he succeeded in reaching the gamekeeper's lonely cot tage. There was a light in the window. The gamekeeper and his wife, lost in this solitude, amid hostile troops, were seated side by side. RambouiUet watched them some time through the clearing surrounding tho cottage. The gamekeeper remained motionless by his wrif** in ortifa nf fliA fnrimifl lmrlrinor nf his dogs, for since the enemy had occu pied the forest, the dogs had always baxked every night. Rambouillet raised his gun, took a carcful aim, and fired. Two despairing cries were uttered inside the cottage, the dogs re doubled their noise, all around distant calls of " Woher da " wore heard, and Rambouillet hurried along the paths, esoapod, and disappeared from the dis trict. The next day it was told how the Ger mans had killed the gamekeeper's wife, and all the neighborhood mustered at her funeral Jr*eoce was-signed, itamoouiuec re sumed Irs former life. The occupation ceased, and then everybody ventured to express the horror excited by so coward ly a crime committed against a woman sitting peaceably at her hearth. Ram bouillet had become more gloomy. A gnawing despair had penetrated his heart. He had committed a useless crime. Not only had his vengeance escaped him, but he felt that any at tempt against the gamekeeper would recall attention to the crime of 1870, and would divert suspicion from the German soldiers. His irritation increased every day, and often found vent in threats against those around him. A few weeks ago one of these scenes was repeated between Rambouillet and his own daughter. "Ah, yes," exclaimed the latter, "you want to serve me as you served the gamekeeper's wife; but I am not afraid of vou." Rambouillet flinched. The conversation became known and reached the ears of justice. Rambouillet was arrested, convicted, condemned to death. The jnry answered every question put to them affirmative ly, and without extenuating circum stances. They felt that a man who had plotted revenge for twenty years must have acted with premeditation. The prisoner's counsel had, of course, urged as an extenuating circumstance that he mistook his victim. Au Ecceulric Murderer, Dillon, who shot and killed Dilleber, the wealthy liquor merchant, in New York city, is a son of Gregory Dillon, who one-quarter of a century ago was a prominent New Yorker. His brother, the late Robert J. Dillon, was a park commissioner, a man of large fortune and business ability. His sister is the wife of an eminent merchant in New York, who has retired from active busi ness. Both brothers and the sister in herited a handsome fortune from Grego ry Dillon, their father. Romaine Dillon was always a very eccentric man. Dur ing the last five or six years he has ex hibited marked and unmistakable indi cations of insanity of the most danger ous kind, which led him frequently to flwonflift litr/so r\f rvoroAticj trim ed liim or gave him even the most trivial reason for resentment. He has several times fired recklessly upon people whom _ he did not know, and once, opposito an apartment that Dillon had occupied, in ah up-town side Btreet, a person had a habit of walking in a way that displeased him, and he remoustrated with him by opening fire upon him with a navy revolver. His victim in this last shoot ing case was an entire stranger to him. Poisonous Winds In India A paper has been read before the Lon don meteorological society on the poison ous winds of India. The author, Dr. Cook, remarks that there are certain days in which, however hard and violent the wind may blow, little or no dust ac companies it, while at other times every little puff of air or current of wind raises up and carries with it clouds of dust, and at these times tho individual parti cles of sand appear to be in such an electrical condition that they are even readv to repel each other. But the wind most deadly in its influences is the j simoon, its presenco beiug made mani- i fest in tbo sudden extinction of life ( wherever protection from its influence i fails to be afforded. Dr. Cook says of j this phenomenon that it is sudden in its j attack, nnd is sometimes preceded by a ] cold current of air, though occurring in j the hot months, and taking place by i night as well as by day ; its course is < straight and defined, and its passage ( leaves a narrow, "knife-like" track. < It is attended by a well marked sulphur- j ous odor, aud the current of air in ] which it passc-s is evidently greatly heat- 1 ed?is, iu fact, like the blast of a fur !

If all our readers the whole fiffcy-threa, Estimating the Horse Power of Steam Engines. When steam engines were first intro duced, they were largely used to take the place of the horses before employed for raising water from mines. Naturally, people ask, when buying an engine, how much work would it do, that is, how many horses would it represent. The early engine builders found themselves greatly at a loss when this question was first asked. They had at once, there fore, to determino how many horses an engine was equal to. The first thing was to find out how much a horse could do. The strongest English horses, the London brewers' horses, were far above the very best that cotild be found else where. They were found to be able to travel at the rate of two and a half miles per hour, and work eight hours per day. The load was pulling 100 pounds' weight up out of a shaft by means of a rope. When a horse moves two and a half miles per hour, he travels 220 feet per minute, and of course, at this speed, the 150 pounds would be raised vertically that distance. That is equal to 300 pounds lifted 110 feet per minute, or 3,000 pounds eleven feet, or 33,000 pounds one foot high in 1 minute. The 33,000 pounds lifted one foot high every minute is taken as a standard horse power. It is much more than aay ordinary horse can do, and, therefore, the engine builders were always sure that their engines would take the place of fully as many horses as the horse power would indicate that ther should. Of course, 33,000 pounds lifted one foot high per minute is" much ? i. r? ?>?1^4.-? xi mure uunvtjuiwuo lur uuiuuiunuu tuuu 150 pounds 220 feet, and therefore the former form has been adopted. The amount of work, or number of foot pounds, however, is just the same in either case. A foot pound represents the amount of power required to lift one ponnd one foot high. It is compar atively easy to estimate the horse power of an engine with a reasonable degree of accuracy, provided we know-certain things in regard to it. We must know the pressure in the boiler, the diameter nf t.ViA /?T7linrlAr tlia lflnot.h of flfrrnko. the number of revolutions per minute which the engine is making, and lastly, the point at which steam is cut off. A Dog as a Mail Carrier. Who carries the mail from Os-tra-gou nosh, away up ou the Minnesota fine, to the nearest frontier settlement in Dakota ? asks a St. Paul paper. Why, Boss, a mongrel kind of dog, an ap parent ultimate result of the mingling of every kind of dog found in the territory. Boss' master a year ago was a drunken half-breed who" was paid $3 a trip in summer and $5 in winter for taking the mails a distance of soino sixty miles. Boss' master was honest and never pur loined a letter, but he had a way of drinking on the road, and the mails were often delayed. Last January the mail carrier never reached his destination, but was found frozen stiff in a snow bank three miles beyond Jobley's run. Boss was keeping guard over his master and the mail. Now Boss runs the ma chine in bad leather. All that has to bo done is to take Boss and secure the letters around his neck in an oil-skin wrap, and away goes Boss to the end of the mail route on the biggest kind of lope. There no use of starving Boss, like people do pigeons, to get him to work, though ho does expect a feed at tho conclusion of his journey. No one as yet is intriguing for Boss' place. Sixty-two miles as tho crow flies, carry ing the mail through the snow, is not a position most office seekers care for. Color of the Red Sea. In a communication to the Bombay geographical society a writer confirms the opinion hitherto expressed by sci entific observers that the color of the Red sea is due to large portions being covered with patches, from a few yards to some miles square, composed of mi croscopic vegetables, or animalcule, particularly abundant in spring, and which dye the water s,n intenso blood red; when not affected, however, by these organic beings, the deep waters are intensely bine, and the shoal waters shades of green. Contrary to the usual belief, the water of this sea is not re markably salt, the saline matter being only abeut forty-one grains in one thou sand. The evaporation is equal to eight feet annually, while not more than one inch of rain or rain water is added in the same time, for although there are heavy rains on the shore, they are sucked up vy i?uu puruueu btuiu. jluc icnun ui such enormous evaporation is, according to this author, to produco a constant de scent of heavy salt water to the bottom of the sea, and when this heavy fluid arises to the level of the Mocha barrier, it falls over in an outward current, and is replaced by an upper inflowing cur rent?in this manner the whole of the water being changed once a year. A Wreck of a Man. What wreck so shocking to behold as the wreck of a dissolute man?the vigor of life exhausted, and yet the first steps in au honorable career not takeu?in him self a lazar-house of disease; deadv but, by a heathenish custom of society, not buried 1 Rogues have had the initial letters of their title burnt into the palms of their hands?even for murder.

Those who have thoroughly investi gated the matter assure us that bread made from fine white flour is "starva tion food." It does not contain the elements necessary to properly nourish and sustain the j.nman body. If parents expect their children to grow up with good health, strong nerves, perfect teeth, good eyes and hnir, they must not give them fino white flour bread as a constant article of diet. It is believed bhat the prevalence of early-decaying teeth and nrematnro crravness and bald ess of tho head are largely due to the general use of white flour. Tho whole of tho wheat, reduced to a uniform con dition, without loss or injury of tho food Dlemeuts, makes a nutritious food, which jontains all tho elements necessary for growing and health. Fortunately many people are beginning to understand this important matter. His Retort.

Salt ox the Walks ?A correspon dent of the London Times writes as follows: To throw salt upon snowy pavements is not merely a dirty and idle habit to save tho trouble of scraping and swooping, but it is ouo fraught with clangor. Suow ami salt when mixed '?> gether form a muddy liquid of thr t peraturn of zero, or thirty-two d< -; below the freezing point of water?a degree of cold long considered to be the lowest attainable, aiad it needs not to tell bow dangerous must be the saturation Df the shoes, with feuoh a liquid. The practice should nofonlybe prohibited, but it should be ujado a penal offense. An Old Pioneer of '40, From Bret Harte's story, "Gabriel Conroy," in Scribner for January, we extract the following : A thick fog, dense, impenetrable, bluish-gray and 1 raw, marked the advent of the gentle t summer of 1854 on tho California coast, v The brief immature spring was scarcely I: yet over; there were flowers still to be r seen on the outlying hills around San 1 Francisco, and the wild oats were yet c green on the Contra Costa mountains, t Bat the wild oats were hidden ander a \ dim India-inky vail, and the wild flowers c accepted the joyless embraces of the fog r with a staring waxen rigidity. In short, t the weather was so uncomfortable that a the average Californian waa more i than ever inclined to impress the stranger f aggressively with the fact that fogs were 1 healthy, and that it waa the " finest a climate on the earth." 1 Pni?lior?a n/\ rvrsa rrrna UoffxtV /Mjlnnlflfflfl C or more accustomed to impress the s stranger with this belief than Mr. Peter Dumphy, banker and capitalist. His outspoken faith in the present andiuture of California was unbounded. His sin cere convictions that no country or cli mate was ever before so signally favored, his in toleration of any criticism or be lief to the contrary, made him a repre sentative man. So positive and unmis takable -was his habitual expression on these subjects, that it was impossible to remain long in his presence without be coming impressed with the idea that any other condition of society, climate or civi lization, than that which obtained in Cali fornia, was a mistake. Strangers were brought early to imbibe from this foun- s tain; timid and weak Californians in s danger of a relapse had their faith re- e newed and their eyesight restored by i bathing in this pool that Mr. Dumphy t kept always replenished. Unconscious- ( ly people at last got to echoing Mr. Dumphy's views as their own, and much of the large praise that appeared in news papers, public speeches, and correspon dence, was first voiced by Mr. Dumphy. ( It must not be supposed that Mr. 1 Dumphy's positiveness of statement and < peremptory manner were at all injurious K to his social reputution. Owing to that 1 suspicion with wliich most frontier com- * munities regard polite concession and J suavity of method, Mr. Dumphy's * brusque frankness was always accepted as J genuine. " You always know what Pete f Dumphy means," was the average criti- ' cism. " He ain't goin' to lie to pie se a any man." To a conceit that was so out- E spoken as to be courageous, to an igno- 1 ranee that was so freely and shamelessly c expressed as to make hesitation and cau- * tions wisdom appear weak and unmanly | beside it, Mr. Dumphy added the rare | quality of perfect unconscienticuauess i ] unmixed with any adulterating virtue, j Corner Lots for Itallding. To persons about to build a residence, the following article from tie Land Owner, on the most desirable corner to locate on, mil be read with interest: When a lot is on the northwest corner of two streets, it is best, in a sanitary point of view, for its frontage to be on the west side of the street and the depth on the north side. The house thus gets the sun in the front bedrooms in the morning, and on tho sido of the house, looking south, nearly ali day. When, a lot is on the northeast corner, it is best that its frantage should bo on the east side and its depth on the north side of the street. The east side of the streot looks west, from which quarter our pre vailing cool summer winds come. All rooms looking west are very cold at night, especially at the timo of year ! ?I J.l _1 ? j WIJCLI HUUUUU UiiUU^CO U1 tVJUi^DiUUUi.C (UC | < common. If the front bedroom windows ! i face the east side of the street, they can j be kept closed at night, and air j secured from the sheltered side windows I on the north side of the street, on which J the sun shines nearly all day. If a lot i is on the southwest corner, it is better t that the frontage be on the south side, J and its depth ou the west side of the ( street. The rays of the sun do not { strike the south side of the street, while l they do strike the west side in the early half of the day?thus getting the sun shine and heat in the front bedrooms at ? the most desirable hours. When a lot t is on the southeast corner, it is best that e it shoulcMitive its frontage on the south ' side and its depth on the east side, for ^ the reason before stated, that the sun a does not strike the south side of the e street, while its rays are poured on the east side from about noon till five p. M. | The cold winds of night can be kept e trom tne Dest (tne irom) oearoom Dy i having the windows closed on the east side and by opening them on the south side. These are important facts to be remembered by those who are sub dividing largo lots for sale, or by those who are erecting houses on targe corner lots, where they are in a position to front them either way. Tiro Bright Animals. Two dogs were often observed to go to a certain point together, when the small one remained behind at a corner of a large field, while the mastiff went around by tho side of the field, which ran np hill for nearly a mile and led to a wood"on the left. "Game abounded in v those districts, and the object of the t> doge* arrangement was soon teen. The h terrier -would start a hare and chase it ti up hill towards the large wood at the ? summit, where they arrived somewhat 0 tired. At this point the large dog, * which was fresh and Jiad rested after his h wo,lk, darted after the animal, which he p usually captured. Tbey then ate the I hare between them and returned home. " This coarse had been systematically car- . ried on for some time before il; was fully understood. The King of leasts. ' i e i ^ Samuel Haughton, author of a work | fc on "Animal juecnamcs," writes 10 iva- i - lure of tho relative strength of the lion ! a and tho tiger : " I have proved that the j ? strength of the lion in tlio fore limbs is j r only 69.9 per cent, of that of tho tiger, j and that the strength of tho bind limbs ; * is only 69.5 psr cent, of that of the tiger, j a I may add that five men can easily hold i j* down a lion, while it requires nine men J 0 to control a tiger. Martial also states j o that the tigers always killed the lions in | ^ the amphitheater. Tho lion is, in truth, > a a pretentious humbug, and owes his re- j ? putaticn to his imposing mane, and ho j v will run away like a whipped cur under ; circumstances in which the tiger will boldly attack and kill." p.

As washing day, in Germany, only ornes two or t&ree times a year, it is a ;reat occasion. The women of the louse, assisted by others, vonisn into he cellar during the first day, from laskets piled high with wet, clean linen, eady to be taken to the bleaching field. Cbis field is about half a mile from most if the houses and is the property of the own. It is a point of low meadow land fhich extends out into the river. At me side is a little stone hut in which a aan and a dog pass the night guarding he clothes. In the center of the field is , stone-curbed well. Hither in the even Dg the clothes are brought on trucks, requently drawn bv large dogs, and tere, in the cool of the day, they are pread upon the grass, sprinkled from arge tin watering pots, and left for the lews to finish the work which the soap uds have begun. On a bright morning he various groups on the bleaching | ield make a veiy pretty picture. The )easant girls, with old handkerchiefs or reilfl tied over their heads, gay stuff Lresses and bare feet, run about between he long rows of snowy linen, or stand in tip-toe at the lines. Others stand ^waiting their turn at the well with catering pots on their heads, or at the ubs up to their elbows in the rinsing rater ; one refreshes herself with a long Irink of water from an uplifted jug ; a jroup of women sit in trie shadow of he stone hut eating their breakfast of >lack bread and sausage, while the chil Iren make themselves useful by chasing itray pieces which the wind whisks vway, or ornamentally turning somer taulte and playing leapfrog. Everything s stirring and fresh and pretty to see, ind invests even the practical washing lay with an aureole of poetry. Imports and Exports. The chief of the United States bureau )f satistics has prepared a statement of the tnd exports of merchandise into imports ind from' the several ports of the United States. The statement shows that the otal imports for the eleven months snding November 30, 1875, were $i71, 187,838, as compared with 8525,263,022 or the same months in 1874; the domes ic exports for the same time were $502, '32,099, as against ?552,632,318 for 1874; ho foreign exports, 811,214,299 for 1875 aid $14,616,103 for 1874. Of gold and lilver the total imports for the eleven nonths of 1875 were $2,168,077; the lomestio exports $5,540,030 and the oreijrn exports $920,363.
