HOUSEHOLDManje in Hordes. Mange is of two kinds; one consists of an animal parasite, a small insect on acorns, which burrows in the skin, and a plant which grows upon the surface > and sends its roots under it, causing much irritation and destroying the hair. Either ^kinds is destroyed by a caustic application mixed with oil or greesc. such as lard. The skin is first softened by washing with warm water and soap and ia then dried. The caustic mostly us^d is creosote diluted with oil or l3rd. A proportion of kerosene oil is often r used with advantage for the acid which it contains and for i ts penetrating quality. The proportions are as follows: Four ounces of oil or lard, one ounce of kerosene oil, and one dram of creosote. This is well rubbed into the skin after it has been washed and dried. If any crusts exists under which the parasites are protected these are to be thoroughly broken up and removed in the washing.?New York Times. Stabling- Dairy Cowi, It is a good plan to have the cows stabled above ground, the cellar stable being undesirable for the reason, if none other can be given, that it is impossible to get suflicient fresh air about the animals. In fact, whatever be the form of stable, too much pure, healthful air cannot be obtained, aud even an aboveground stable is very defective if there is a manure cellar uuderneath. Such stables are to be condemned and are often revolting, the air about them being impregnated with foul odor, which will penetrate the milk In spite of all * efforts to the contrary. There is no absolute need of a gutter behind the cows, if the platform is raised six or eight inches, and if this fall is just behind their heels, and the passage way is kept sprinkled with gypsum and covered with dry sawdust. Without the gutter thestaolecan be kept cleaner, and if the cow is so fastened that she cannot walk forward and diintr that portion of the platform upon which she rests her flank and udders when lying down, this method will give satisfaction.?Tribune and Farmer. Pruning Trees. After the ground is well prepared by deep plowing let the holes be dug broad and deep and then til ed up with good surface soil, so that when the tree is set it will stand just as deep as it grew in the nursery. Such trees should be selected as will bear to be cut back to within two or three feet of the ground, I w so that low heads may be formed. The long spindling trees, pruned to six or eight feet in the nursery, are not fit to | plant in any situation. If the trees are : turned low in the nursery, cut back the leading branch and thin out the side branches to a suitable number to form a ! clear open head, and then shorten the ! Bide shoots to three or lour Duas 01 last season's growth. All subsequent pruning I should be done during the season of growth; at any time when it is discov- i ered that any branch is coming forth where it is not needed, or of making an ! undergrowth and likely to destroy the , balance of the head, it should be pinched j back so as to allow the others to come i up with it. This kind of pruning af- | fords recreation and pleasant employ-! ment for a leisure hour at any time when it can be spared from other duties. In this way a tree may be made to assume any form de.-ired. A regular systematic pruning, such as some men practice, of ^ cutting off the branches of the growth of a year or two, should never be thought of. Let the pruning be perpetual and every unneeded brauch nipped in the bud. or as soon as it is discovered out of place. An occasional hour employed in this way will keep an orchard always in or ler,and no unsightly "water sprouts" will ever be seen to tax the en-?' ? - ? at? l ,1 ; i. /..tf ergiea ut uic uuu nuu uuuw u vuu ui shape.?Netc York Herald. Poultry Hints. The comb is a good indication of n fowl's health. If she is in good healthy condition her comb will be a bright red; if otherwise her comb will be of a pale color. Give variety of food, a warm breakfast, meat quite often, with wheat screenings and the like; cayenne pepper mixed with the soft food given them is excellent. Do not feed too much corn to laying fowls, as it is very fattening. Look over your flock of chicks and pick out the culls, keep only the best birds for breeding, select your finest J COCKereis uow uuu iuhikul tuu rest. A little wheat should be spared daily for the growing chicks. Nothing will bring the pullets to early laying better than wheat. Feed generously. Do not forget to feed the chicks plenty of ground bone, oyster shells and an occasional feed of meat. Boil the ; small potatoes or other vegetables mixed j with bran, adding a dash of red pepper | and salt every few days. Ginger and j sulphur may be fed in soft feed occa- j sionally. Milk in some form is a necessity for ! little chicks. Keep the poultry house and every place about it thoroughly clean. Above all things be kind to your fowls. Do not allow them to bo afraid of vou. Cultivate their acquaintance. ff your chic *ive *?id ix months old j are drooping au-1 dying from no appar- J ent cause, they are probably suffering from distemper, which generally occurs between the twentieth and twenty-bixth week of liic in the different breeds. Put bromide of poiu^sium in ihe drinking water in the proportion of two grains per head, adjusting the quantity of watar so that all will be drunk in one day. Do this every alternate three days until twelve days have elapsed and you will probably find the trouble has disappeared.?Poultry Monthly. Pickled and Smoked Tlrals. As a rule, we keep our meats too long in the brine, and too long in the smokehouse This ;s +ruc especially of aiam and side-bacon for family use. When f. meats aie inteuded to keep all summer, they must, of course, be penetrated by salt, and well smoked; but for winter and early spring use, it is far better to salt lightly, and smoke very little. The English farmers have the art of doing this a groat deal better than we. In many cases the bacon is only two days in the pickle, then dried for several days, and finally smoked twenty-tour to " V. nrvrvii f A V\PAnm fVkrt Villi LJ "MA UVUI B CUVUjjU fcw Uluuu <.u<_, surface well. Such bacon is adapted to frying, not to boiling. For boiling, longer salting is necessary, and as a rule dry salted hams are preferred. They are easily over-salted, however, and it requires an experienced hand to do the work well. The famous Irish bacon is cured by rubbing in salt, or laying it a short time in pickle, and not smoked at all, but simply dried in cool weather in a dry atmosphere. Sometimes it is smoked for a few hours, just to give it a fine color. "VVhon cookcd, it is sliced thin and fried, and is crisp and delicious beyond anything we commonly get. Great quantities of choice hams are shipped from this country to Great Britain, and as we learn, are as -weak brine as experience has showD will keep them from tainting on the voyage. On arrival, the casks arc opened, and the hams thrown to soak in a great vat.

Farmers, when building barns, do not give enough attention to the matter ol light. A horse, a cow, any domestic animal, needs light as much as men and women do. If one would know some thing about the effect of light on vegetable life, let him undertake to grow something in the dark. If it grow nt all, it will be thin and white. Remove it into sunshine, or remove coverings and let light fall upon it, and in a short timo ! the form and color will change. Light J and darkness are common conditions, ; and men and animals?indeed,all animal and vegetable life?are made in harmony therewith. If an animal is kept continuously in darkness, it loses health and its sight soon becomes defective. The j same thing, on smaller scale, happens in j case of dark stables. j We have the report of an experiment ! made wuu a cuu. buuii; ju-ttia us | follows: We had two deep red calves of the ! same age (sixty days), one weighing 180 I pounds and the other 182 pounds. The i letter we placed in a dark room, with a I trough that could be filled by a spout j through a partition. The other was ; confined in the same amount of : space, but in full light, and | fed exactly alike for the next three months. The object was to test j the effect of light upon such a growing j animal. At the end of the time, the one in the light weighed 480 pounds, and the one in the dark weighed 360 pounds; | and its color had faded to a very pale, i dirty red. Its eyes were so much affected { when admitted to the light, that it kept them closed most of the time, for the first week or two. The two calves were , kept on together, but the one from the ! dark room never fully recovered from the three months of darkness. It never recovered its bright red color, although the color improved. Any one who noted these two calves, during this experiment, would never after doubt the impolicy of a dark stable. Every barn ought to be lighted, Tnot so as to produce a glare in the stalls, but -sufficient to obtain a natural and comfortable condition of the animals as to sight. Every stall ought to have one small window, and that ought to be so arranged as to prevent the sun's rays from shining directly in the animal's eyes. This can easily be done by protecting shades or blinds. The feed rooms and halls, all ought to be lighted. Sunlight is healthy. It is a good tonic and health restorer.?Kansas Farmer. Rod pes.

The great variety of colors and dyes obtained from common plants, growing so abundantly almost everywhere, is apparently known to but few persons except chemists. The well-known huckleberry or blueberry, when boiled down, with an addition of a little alum and a solution of copperas, will develop an excellent blue color; the same treatment, with a solution of nut galls, produces a clean dark brown tint, while with alum, verdigris and sal ammoniac, various shades of purple and red can be obtained. The fruit of the elder, so frequently used fur coloring spirits, will also produce a blue color when treated with alum. The privet, boiled in a solution of salt, furnishes a serviceable color, and the over-ripe berries yield a scarlet red. The seeds of the common burning bush, "euonymous," when treated with sal ammoniac, produce a beautiful purple red. The bark of the currant bush, treated with a solution of alum, produces a brown. Yellow is obtainable from the bark of the apple tree, the box, the ash, the bucKthorn, the poplar, elm, etc., when boiled in water and treated with alum. A lively green is furnished by the broom corn. _ W-^ A correspondent writing from Holland o'ays Mormonism is gaining ground there. A meeting was held recently at Zwolic, which consisted of Mormons from Amsterdam. Groningue, Leenwarden, Devente, Olst, and Zwolle. "Women and children were present. The exercises, consisting of speeches and religious services, lasted from 10 o'clock in the morning until late at night. A number of converts were admitted. The Dutch government does not interfere witn tne sect. The cultivation of liquorice has been carried on in a few sections of the South for years in a desultory way. The "Liquorice Plant" is the title of a pamphlet of twenty pages issued by the department of state, embodying the inquiries of consular agents in various countries. In Sicily, Spain, and in Italy the sweetest liquorice is grown,and from four to eight years are required to produced a crop of roots. The product is principally used in sweetening tobacco and in masking the taste of nauseous medicines. Upward of 15,000 vessels and 000,000 men in Europe and America are engaged in the fishing industry, and the total annual product of fish is not far short of 1,500,000 tons. Few people realize the full meaning of these latter figures. A ton of fish is equal in weight to about + olin/in onrl lionno ft L ? Cli L-J outup, ULlVi M JV?.? w ti>h supply for tea European countries, included in this estimate,and the United States and Canada might be represented by 42,000,000 sheep. Of this amount the United Kingdom, Canada, Russia aud the United States alone aggregate 1,000,000 tons, equivalent to 28,000,000 sheep. Sir Henry Thompson and English physicians who understand the thing say i that all enteric fevers, such as typhus, j cholera and the Oriental plague itself, are due to positive pollution in the air and water. Historiographers of disease tell us that the cholera comes from the mouth of the Ganges, the yellow fever from the mouth of the Mississippi, and the plague from the mouth of the Nile. Now the Mediterranean is an obvious focu3 and hotbed of enteric poison, and has been so ever since the days of the Athenian plague, which Thucydides chronicled. Its tideless waters accumulate unspeakable tilth and garbage. The present cholera commenced and found its chief seat in Marseilles, which is, perhaps, the most pestilential port in the world. The public have long suffered from the fiendish scream of the steam whistle, but there is prospcct of alleviation. Lately attention has been turned to this matter, and that great remedial agent, the inventor, has perfected different styles of what has been known as a gong whistle. But some one with the love of musical harmony in his soul has taken a step further in the way of removing the offensive noise, and produced a musical chime whistle, the great merit of which consists in producing a musical chord composed of the first, third and fifth tones of the common musical scale. The effect of this chord in the whi3tle is to remove the piercing, hurtful effect upon the ear, and at the same time very much enhance the carrying qualities of the sound, from the fact that more tones or vibrations of the air are produced. The three largest industries of South Australia are wool, wheat and gold. The number of sheep is between 80,000,000 and 1)0,000,000. The average, value of the export of wool alone is between $90,000,00*0 and $100,000,000. This industry is likely to increase in the future. The exportation of frozen meat, chiefly mutton, to Great Britain, is a comparatively new industry, which is growing rapidly in importance. So importaut has the business become that New Zealand is building steamers especially for the trade. Meat is frozen by means of condensed air, and is kept frozen during the voyage by the same means. The r?r>nmlr?tG rarcaas of the animal is frozen. Last year there were exported from South Australia alone between 400,000 and 500,000 tons of wheat. Their importations from America are limited, and consist chiefly* of buggies, American tools and mineral oils. Statistics gathered by the forestry division of the agricultural department, for the use of the forestry congress held in Boston, show that the forest product during the census year(1880) was 18,000, 000,000 feet, board measure. In 1884 it greatly exceeded this figure, reaching in that j'ear 28,000,000,000 feet. A rather alarming fact is incidentally stated in the report, namely, that, the forests are disappearing at the rate of 25,000,000 acres each year; and we can hardly venture to hope that even the diligent efforts of the various forestry associations throughout the country are making raucu neaaway in repairing mis enormous annual waste. It appears that there are la the United SfcateB 285,000,. 000 acres of improved land, 445,000,000 acres of forest, and 730,000,000 acres of unimproved and waste untimbcred land. The forest area would be swept clean, at the rate of consumption above stated, in about eighteen years. The Boston Cultivator declares that this is one of the staples in regard to which we may confidently say that no fear- of overproduce tion need be L?e entertained." The "Washington correspondent of th', Cleveland Leader has been interviewing Mr. Bingham, recently United States minister to Japan. Mr. Bingham made the following interesting remarks: "Japan i3 advancing very rapidly in civilization. The telephone and electric light are being pushed forward. The railroads have increased from eighteen miles to 300 miles in ten years: tho country has 5,000 miles of inland telegraph and two great ocean cables. Tho postal service of Japan has been organized within the past ten years, and now they have nearly as many postoffices as the United States. Their postal system is as well organized aud equipped as ours. Japan has a free press, and there are live daily and weekly papers published in English there, beside a large number of Japanese papers. As to schools, 3,000 Japanese children attend free schools, and it is a crime to prevent children between seven and thirteen years from attending school.

We are never so happy or unhappy as we suppose. One man's word is no man's word : we should quietly hear both sides. Truth is as impossible to be soiled bv any outward touch as the sunbeam. Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues. Teach self denial and make its practice pleasurable, and you create for the world a destiny more sublime than ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer. Carlyle says: We are firm believers in the maxim that, for all right judgment of any man or thing, it is useful, nay essential, to see his good qualities before pronouncing on his bad.

Exemption from mistake is not the privilege of mortals ; but when our mistakes are involuntary, we owe each other every candid consideration ; and the man who on discovering his errors acknowledges and corrects them, is scarcely less entitled to our esteem than if he had not erred. Every one, however humble, has a mission to do, or say, or think something which has never been done, or said, or thought ; therefore let each one, while gratefully accepting the help and profiting by tJbe wisdom of others, cultivate his own individuality, live his own independent life, and fulfill his own possibilities. Snwing Off a Churcli Steeple. To a reporter Mr. Aubin confided yesterday a few of the mysteries attending his ascent to the top of St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal steeple, which explain pretty much how his work in general is accomplished. The total height of the Bteeple from the ground was 200 feet, the spiral portion which rose from the tower being 125 icet. Placing his block and tackle and his swing-stage in a convenient position on the ledge of the tower, he climbed to the highest possible point in the inside of the spire from which he could gain an exit to the open air. Emerging from the interior, he winds a rope three times arouud the spire in a mysterious and unexplained manner, and fastens its ends together. He then winds another rope once around the spire, fastens its ends together, and attaches thereto a belt which is bound around his body. This part of the ap J--! J A. i v1 l.. paratus 13 uesigacu iu itcup m? uuuj from falling back, and afford general steadiness in tlie ascent. He then grasps the lower coil of the tnple rope with one hand and the higher with the other, and walks along the centre rope, changing at every step his hand-grasps on the other ropes. He thus winds his way around the spire, getting higher at every step, steadied meanwhile and kept in position by the rope to which the waist belt is attached. As he gradually gets higher the support rope tends to get loose, and this is remedied by drawing on it by the buckles of the wafst-belt. When a height is reached where the spire is sufficiently narrow to permit the climber to grasp it around with his arms he lets go his hold on the ropes and clambers to the top. Once there, by means of a small clothes line he lets down a hammer, the claws of which seize the block and tackle on the tower below, and both are raised to the top. A descent is then made for the swingstage, which is attached to a hook of the block, and the steeple-jack is now ready to begin work. He starts in to remove the boards of the wooden spire about eight or ten feet from the top, and then saws off in sections the posts above. The same process is carried on in the dcsccnt by block and tackle, until after a "week's work the steeple is a thing of the past. * How General Gordon Was Killed. The war office has forwarded to us the subjoined copy of the confidential report made by Major H. II. Kitchener on the fall of Khartoum: The only account by a person claiming to be an eye witness of the scene of General Gordon's death, relates: "On hearing the noise', I got ?my master's donkey and went with him to the palace. We met Gordon Pasha at the outer door of the palace. Muhamined Bey Mustapha, with my master, Ibrahim Bey Rushdi, and about twenty canvasses, then went tvith Gordon toward the house of the Austrian Consul Hansel, near the church, when we met some rebels near the outer gate of the palace. Gordon Pasha was walking in front leading the party. The rebels fired a volley, and Gordon, was killed at once; nine of the canvasses, Ibrahim Bey Rushdi, nnd Muhammed Bey Musaapha were killed, the rest ran away." A large number of witnesses state Gordon was killed near the gate of the palace, and various accunts have been related from hearsay of the exact manner I in which he met his end. Several re | liable witnesses Baw and recognized : Gordon's body at the gate of the palace; one describes it as being dressed in li^ht slothes. The Soudan custom of beheading and exposing the bends of adversaries slain in battle was, apparently, caried .")ut, fis wasdoneby the Mudir of Dongo'a atior the battle av Ko. :i. The Bagara savages seem to have had some doubt which was Gordon's body, and great confusion occurred in the Mahdi's camp at Omdurraan, where the beads were exposed, as to which was Gordon's head, some recognizing, others denying the identity of Gordon's head. One apparently reliable witness relates that he saw the rebels cut off Gordon's bead at the palace gate after the town was in their hands.?London Telegraph. T"V>n Wni?rl>tirv nmrirmnv turns " "?*?
