. / i THE OBEGOFS LOSS." How the Mammoth Cunarder Went Down. Narrow Escape of More than Eight Hundred People. The magnificent ocean steamship Oregon^ of tbe Cunard line, one of the largest and fastest of all the ocean carriers, was lost in collusion with a schooner while proceeding under a full head of steam and when near her journey's end Details of her loss are as follows: The Oregon left Liverpool for New York on th" morninsr of Saturday, March fi. She had on board 185 first oabin msseng^rs.sixtysix in the second cabin, and 389 in the steerase. She had a crew* of 205 men. At the be^inmng: of the voyage she had to deal with fresh winds from the north and east, but fairly fine weather. It became stormy off the Newfoundland banks, with a high swell and bri^V southwest winds. "While midway between Shinneeoek, Long Island, and Fire Island, about 4:20 a. m., on the 14th. and distant about five miles from shore, the few passengers on the Oregon'* deck noticed the lights of a vessel annvoa^h incr on the northeast tack. The lights were visible a"e^rdin?rtothesto:y tfthepasseneers, ten minutes before the collision occurred. Cantain Cottier was below and Chief Officer Matthews wa* in chirpe of th-3 bridge. The deoks wer? r il^d with ba^scatre. which was beincr taken from the hold in anticipation of the vessel's entry into port. No one paid mu'-h attention to the apT>r<whine vessel, and it was not until the unknown coasting schooner struck the mammoth steamer on tlie port side, directly abaft the foremast. that the i>as?>n?ers were aware of their danger. Th*> shock was tremendous. UUU llil j% ivu'mihu tuc ov uwucj ( shot ba~k from the iron sides of the doomed Cunorder. arid drifted off into the darkness. Captain Cottier rushed up from be'nw and assumed command of the deck. 'Rea'izinG: the character of the injuries inflicted. he at once sent up rockets to attract the attention of parsing vessels, and these were nnparently seen by two ocean steamer? whi h passed bv without deviating from thair course. The water poured in through the husre rent in the vessel's side, puttmg out the firesand raising a tremendous eloud of steam. so dense and thick that the fhenen in the fireroom d?-opnpd th?ir shovels and rushed to the deck, where all tbp passengers had been summoned. many clad in their sleer>m<r garments. "With but few exceptions all behaved admirablv. and with scarcely auv trouble order was quickly restored. The partiv dressed nassentrers wore ordered to put on tbe'r clorhmg. ana collec was served to all. The officers, under command of Captain Co'ti^r, proceeded to launch eicht lifeboats, which was done with some difficulty, but successfully. The wom?n were first put in ; the boats, and then the other passengers, firstclass and steerage, and last of all the crew. Captain Cott'er and Dr. B"rdan beint the last to leave the steamer. The boats remained in the vicinity of tli<" wrecked vessel until daybreak, when pilot boat No. 11 and th? s hooner Fanny A. Gorham. Captain Mahoney, bound from Jacksonville to Boston, were s^n approaching, and at S o'clock the work of transferring the passengers and crew to the decks of the small vessels was be?un. This work lasted until 11 o'clock. "When all had been transfeired both vessels bore up for New York, but were overhauled at noon by the Bremen steamship Fulda. Captain Ringk, in-bound, and the passengers were in turn added to the already full list of the German steamer, making in all over 1,S00 souls on board. As soon as all were safelv removed the Fulda steamed to Sandy Hook, reaching the bar at 0:25, where she anchored until 1 o'clock this moniinc.when she crossed and came up to quarantine, in New York bay. Next day the passengers were taken to ( the city. After the collision the Oregon drifted seawards and at noon the operators at Fire island, who had, at 6 o'clock, noticed the . queer behavior of the vessel, estimated that she had drifted fully fifteen miles from the shore. She sank in eighty feet c water at 1:40 i\ m., and f. 1 nightfall it was noticed that her foremast had been carried away. While j the main, mizzen and jigger masts were still standing, and apparently uninjured, sUfigank by the head, the bow pointing secHwi None of the rescued passengers or crew saved anything except the clothcs they wore, ] or perhaps a handbac:. No time was ( afforded to save anything, and little was done after the passengers had come on deck than to get them safely into the boats < and await daylight. Of the 620 sacks i of mail matter, 69 bags were trans- ; ierrea to ine ooars ana Drougnc up to quar- i antine by the Fulda. Thore were 110 acci- . dents in the double transfers of the passengers, the sea from the time of the acci- : dent up to the arrival of the Fulda at the bar i having been as smooth as a ball-room floor ; and enabling the work to be done with but little trouble. All the passengers aud crew quietly obeyed the orders of the officers, ' whose conduct met with universal praisa 1 from all the rescued people. j The Oregon was built for the Guion line at ' Glasgow, in 1883, costing $1,350,000. She was built for speed, and her trip from Queens- 1 town to New York, finished on August 23, ] 1884, was made in six days and ten hours, | breaking the best record made up to that date. Since then better time has been made, the Cnnarder Etruria covering the same distance in six days, five kours and forty-four minutes. The Etruria's big record was ina ie on a trip ending August ; 22, 1885, and is the fastest. A BATTLE ON THE BAIL ?? Strikers on One Engine Chased by Officers on Another. A freight train run by a switch engine left the Iron Mountain depot, Little Rock, Ark., during the strike troubles, and reached Benton, twenty-five miles south, at noon on the 12th. The passenger engine which was to take the St. Louis train south was captured at the round house by masked strikers and sent after the freight train. The freight train was overtaken at Benton and disabled, and the strikers started bach toward Little Rock 'with the passenger engine. At Mablevale, ten miles south of the city, they waited on a side track for the passenger train to go by. The train came along, and when the last car had passed they threw the switch open and dashed out in the direction of Little Hock. United States Marshal Fletcher and several deputies were on the passenger train, accompanied by Superintendent VVheedon. The track was cleared for a switch engine, the officers got aboard and pursued the strikers, both reaching and dashing past the depot under full headway. While crossing the bridge the pursuing engine caught and made fast to the striker's engine, and the officers began climbing aboard, ordering the strikers to stop. They refused, and, on reaching the north side of the bridge, several of them jumped off and the officers began firing. About fifty shots were fired, and one striker named Sullivan was shot in the leg, severely wounded, and was captured. Seven others besides Sullivan were captured, and the officers went in pursuit of the fugutives, about eighteen in number. The captured strikers were released on bond NEWSY GLEANINGS, The death rate from chloroform is one in l,l#0. Mexican tobacco threatens to supersede the product of Cuba.

Burning Wood for Asher. In burning wood for ashes it is necessary to avoid exposing the fire to strong currents of air, both to prevent the carrying away of the light ashes and the loss of valuable elements by the stxong combustion. The logs are put in heaps and covered with earth or are heaped in hollow pits protected at the sides by the mounds of earth thrown out. As the heap turns down more logs are rolled on to it, so as to keep a steady fire. The ashes are stirred to secure complete combustion of the brands and coals, and the more slowly the timcer is consumed the more valuable the ashes are. Ordinary mixed timber yields two to three per cent, of ashes. Pine yields about one per cent., elm three to four per cent., and the small brushwood is the richest part of the tree. Tables Relative to Cows. During a recent meeting of the Connecticut Board of Agriculture, Professor Brown, of the experiment farm, Guelph, Canada, in a lecture, gave a table of the amount of buttter for every one hundred pounds of milk from cows oi cimerem breeds of stock, as follows: Jersey 5.1 Ayrshire 4.5 Ontario grade 1 4.4 Shorthorn 4.3 Devon 3.7 Shorthorn grade 3.7 Aberdeen polled 3.5 Quebec grade 3.4 Guernsey 2.5 Holstein 2.4 Galloway ? 2.3 This table was formed trom an average of ten years and of many different animals This table affords a very satisfactory guide to those desiring to purchase cows for making butter.

Some Hints on Horse-Barns. There is a point to be obseved in fitting a barn for the reception of horses, and that is the size of the stalls. The narrow dimensions of the stall are a positive cruelty to the horse. Many stalls are built too narrow to enable the horse to extend his limbs when lying down. He-is compelled, when in a recumbent position, to double his limb9 up under him; his legs are thus kept in a cramped position when he ought to be completely at rest. A narrow stall tends to make a horse restive ana uneasy, ana irequentiy induces him to kick violently against the contracted sides of this narrow prison, and develops in him the objectionable practice of crib-biting. Imagine, for a moment, our own misery, were we confined in a narrow cell in which, when standing, we could assume none but. a cramped position, debarred from the privilege of extending our limbs, and obliged to keep them doubled up. In considering these questions of the comfort of our live stock; while mere humanity should certainly furnish a motive sufficient, it is well to remember that the comfort and well-being of stock means to them health aud prolonged life, and, consequently, pecuniary benefit to ourselves. Still another cause of great needless suffering is occasioned to the horse by keeping him tied up by the head, [n order to enable a horse to slee^ comfortably, he should be able to lie down at full length, limbs extended, and his head Af.+iMA' An flio Tliio lift it? nffnn LCOliii^ Uli lUt IXUU1 lUiOiiV 10 VUI^U UUable to do, owing to the short halterstrap, which will not allow him to rest the lower portion of the head on the floor, and the extraordinary discomfort of the position in which the poor beast is thereby compelled to seek his natural rest, can be better imagined than described.?Natioiuil Live Stock Journal. Fertilization of Strawberries. Among other matters of interest reported upon by the American PomologLcal Society are the papers and discussions on "The Influence of Pollen on the Form, Size, Color and Flavor of Strawi : 11 4.1+* ~ perrius, euuueu ut iuc ius>u SUDSIUII UI mi; society. The subject was introduced by Prof. Lozemby, of Ohio, who reported the reBults of two seasons' experiments in crossing. The first year there was a marked effect produced by the foreign Eollen in every instance. The Chas. owning pollen communicated its shape, texture and other qualities and the same with Sharpless and Yick. The next season there occurred no very marked resemblance between the berry and the variety which furnished the pollen. Mr. Crawford, Ohio, who has had excellent facilities for making observations, said that- he had yet to find any good fV n f 4-V? a mflnnr\nn v* a1 I no nv CTiutuwc tiiat me juuutuv,^ ui jjwwtu CAtends beyond the seed. T. J. Barrill, Illinois, stated that he had been unable to detect any difference in the fruit of pistillate strawberries, on account of the kind of pollen used for fertilization. A. S. Fuller, New Jersey, claimed that repeated investigations only confirmed his convictions in regard to the influence of the pollen reaching so far beyond the seed as to effect the fruit sufficiently in many instances to change size, form, color and even the flavor. T. Wilde, Michigan, told how he had tested the crossing of strawberries for three years with variable results. The influence of pollen in his tests had not always proved certain, but he was sure it had occurred. J. L. Budd, Iowa, told of an experiment tried by him some years ago with several rows of the Colfaxian acid berry. By one part of the rows the wild strawberry was planted; by another piece some ten "rows away the Wilson, by another the Downers Prolific. Where the Colfax plants were fertilized with the wild strawberry the fruit was smali and sour: where fertilized bv the Wilson. larger and sour; where fertilized by the Downer's Prolific, lighter in color, rounder and sweeter. These charges, Professor Budd claimed, were perfectly evident. He is now growing Chas. Downing and fertilizes with Downer's Prolific. The Downing does not do well self-fertilized, but needs more pollen beside. Professor Budd thinks the cross makes it larger and better in shape.? V/i?7- IP-,.,.;,/ XT %/W J. IS I fit M V/ lit/, Washing: Sheep. Washing slieop in the old-fashioned way is a barbarism which deserves to become obsolete. For a farmer to stay some hours up to the waist in the cold stream vainly endeavoring to wash the wool clean in muddy water, wrestling with the struggling sheep, and turning them out on to dusty roads or an unclean yard to drain, is a waste of effort and a risk to health, as well as absurd and ^ wnrsp than ncnlocc Tlio wrtnl is mnflfi harsh and rough and if it is left on the , sheep to recover its yolk and softness it ] loses in the meanwhile its partial cleanli- ^ ness. It is then rated as unwashed and ^ its loss of weight brings no advantage in gain in price. The usual reduction of 7 one-third from the price of washed wool ( for unwashed is less than the loss of j weight by washing, so that the farmer ^ who invites colds, chills and rheumatism i il- - 1 1 j-_ -1. j 1- : 1 oj me oaruurous msmon 01 wasuiujj uio flock in the brook or the mill pond actu- j ally pays a considerable sum for his privilege, while his neighbor who saves himself from the disagreeable J and dangerous exposure gets a substantial premium for his wisdom. The nu- j merous owners of sheep who are finishing { their first year's experience iu the business will do well to avoid this supposed ? necessity and save both trouble and j money. . The yolk of wools is a natural pro- jj vision for keeping the fleece in good ( condition and preventing its felting into f a compact mass upon the sheep's back. ] It is a secretion from the follicles of the ( skin in which the fibres are rooted, and j oro ennrilinfl npitVi rrlnnrlfl _r secrcte the oily, soluble soap of which the yolk consists. The yolk is a compound of oil and potash, which is in fact a soap, soluble in cold water, and contains a large proportion of free and uncombined potash'. The potash, contained in the yolk is sufficient to give valuable fertilizing properties to. fhe water in which the wool is washed, and is economically separated from the water by the French wool manufacturers and sold to the farmers. For this reason the old fashion of washing sheep is a great waste, and it is better to tub-wash the wool and use the waste water as a liquid manure for grass or as an addition to the manure heap.?New York Times. About Seed. In either planting or sowing, the quality of the seed is of more value tnan e many persons suppose. If the seed is t mixed with foul seed, and all seed not ] specially cleaned is more or less so, the e time spent in fuljy cleaning is time well i spent. Grain seeds should be first cleaned r; over sieves specially prepared for the 1 various species. If very extra seed is re- j quired, this may be gotten by casting c the seed across the barn floor. The c heaviest will fly furthest. Now, if you j always save your seed from this heavy, perfect seed, sowing the next perfectly cleaned grade for the general crop, it will be?if you start with pure seed?but a few years until you have that in most i. n TTnrioftr i rUNflL'lHB U|J IU ? 11 UC pcui^itc vauvi/jr. In relation to crops that require culti- 1 vating, a short scries of years will con- 1 vince any experimenter of the absolute ? necessity of using none but the best seed. 6 Take the potato, as an instance. The 1 writer years ago increased the earliness s of the Mercer potato a week by planting ' liberal pieces of the seed end, with only * three eyes left, and got also smoothness j I by selecting as seed only smooth,medium ' shaped specimens. While the average ( of the crops?and in scarce seasons, small 1 potatoes?were planted for . the market ? crops, the prime specimens were always 1 saved for planting for seed. 1 The true way to cause a variety to be- t come weak and in time unfit for cultiva- ? tion is to plant inferior seed. As being 1 weil attested, the following experiment ? of Major Alvord, of Houghton farm, 1 * ? j / / TTT jl1_ I | will serve as a case in point: **wirn eighty-two varieties of potatoes the av- * erage weight per hill from the whole ] tuber?medium sized?as seed was 1 thirty-six ounces; that from the usual ^ cutting?about three eyes?twenty-four s and a half ounces; that from one eye, * twenty ounces!" *; Although particular seasons may mod- J ify this, yet it is a well-known fact that. 1 except that on rich, specially prepared 1 soil, where the young plant quickly gets 8 h )ld. no good can be done by planting small cuts of potatoes, and here again, ' is another lesson; the richer the soil near the seed the better for the crops.? * South and West. 1 c Recipes.

History of the Violin. The violin in its earlier forms is of j rreat and uncertain antiquity. Its origin is traced to a stringed instrument used in [ndia from the earliest ages, the ravan istron, which, Buddhist tradition says, was invented by Ravana, King of Ceyon, 5,000 B. C. A similar instrument was the crvvth of Wales, which is known :o have been in use long before the sixth century, among the Bnttons, and to svhich the Anglo-Saxons gave the name )f fythel, whence our word fiddle. The mmediate precursor of the violin was ;he viol, which is known to have been in ise in the tenth century. This was flat lbove and below, had very deep bends n the sides, used from three to six strings, and was played with a bow. But the violin of modern form was not nade until the fifteenth or sixteenth century. The earliest makers of the nodern violin whose instruments are luthenticated was Gaspard di Salo, )f LoAbardy, who worked between 1560 and 1612. To one ether naker living before this time. Gas oard Duiffoprugcar, some existing instruments are atttributed, but it is very ioubtful whether this maker constructed inything else than viols and "lutes. The [talian school of violin making had its )rigin in Brescia, and, as far as is now cnown, was founded by Gaspard di Salo. The greatest of the Brescian makers was jliovanni Paolo Magginni, who lived ibout 1590-1640, and whose instruments itill hold a place among the best ever nade. But soon the Brescia violin nakcrs were eclipsed by those of Crenona, whose instruments have been the tvonder and admiration from their time :o the present, possessing a tone a,nd juality that subsequent makers have ;ried in vain to equal. The three great- : ist of the many successful violin makers i imong the number who for generations tept up the reputation of Cremonese ! vork, were Nicholas Amati, Joseph Suarneri del Gesu, and Antonius Stradi 7arius. Very little is now Known 01 hese great makers, for in their day they ivere simply hard-working artisans who idld for a few florins instrument^ which iow command hundreds and even thou-' :ands of dollars. Experience has shown hat the minutest details of form and proportion, and the material of which each leparate part is mr.de, are matters of vital mportance to the quality of the violin. The great makers seem to have secured >y many delicate experiments the very jerfection of acoustical quality, which iexterity and careful workmanship enibled them always to fully reproduce.? rnter-Ocean.
