To Tan* Skins and Leave the Fub <
ox.?Remove the legs and other useless
parts; soak the skin soft; remove the flesh
and soak the skin in warm water
for an hour; take for each skin, of borax, 1
saltpeter hnd glauber salts, pach onehalf
ounce; dissolve with soft water sufficiont
to allow it to be spread on the flesh
side of the skin; apply it with a brush,
double the skin together and put in a 1
/?nnl nlaee for twentv-four hours. (
Cements.?A receipt for cement to 1
stop cracks in glass vessels, to resist <
moisture and heat, is thus given in the (
Scientific American: Dissolve caseine in
cold saturated solution of borax, and
with this solution paste strips of hog's >
or bullock's bladder (softened in water)
on the cracks of gla?s, and dry at a gentle ,
heat; if the vessel is to be heated, coat
the bladder on the outside before it has
become quite dry, with a paste of a rather 1
concentrated solution silicate of soda and
quick lime or plaster of Paris.
antidote for Poison.?We find the ;
following commended: If a person swallows
any poison whatever, or has fallen
into convulsions from having overloaded
the stomach, an instantaneous remedy,
more efficient and applicable in a larger
number of cases than any half a dozen
medicines we can now think of, is a
heaping teaspoon of common salt, and
as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly
in a teacup of water, warm or cold, and
swallowed instantly. It is scarcely down
before it begins to come up, bringing
with it the remaining contents of the |
stomach, and least there be any remnant
of a poison, however small, let the white
of an egg, or a teacup of strong coffee,
be swallowed as soon as the stomach is
quiet; because these very common articles
nullify a larger number of virulent 1
poisons than any medicines in the shops.
Success in Fakming.?Much of the
success we observe amoDg the best class
of farmers, says Coleman's Rural World,
results from calculation skill and energy.
A man to fully succeed on the farm must
be an intelligent investigator. He should i
at least understand the character of his soils,
and how to handle them, and the
best time to do it. He should understand
theprinciples of the laws of nature
fully and clearly. He must know the
effect of each manure upon each particular
soil. In fact the successful farmer
must be a scholar and a teacher. It is
not enough that he knows mechanically
how to plow and reap. He should un- '
derstaud when to do it, and the relation
of the elements, one to the other. The
benefit of a rotation of crops should be
a part of his farm knowledge ; subsoiling,
the application of manures, and
their effects upon each particular cereal
should be clearly understood. Any man
can be a botch ou a farm if he wills it;
but to have success in farming there is
much to learn. To be a complete farmer,
there is more study, research and
experience necessary than to lit a man to
be a physician, merchant or lawyer.

To Young Men.?Young man, if you
wish to bectfme somebody in the world,
? -i i n x.ii. !i: :_
ana noia a respeciaoie posiuuu m suuicij,
do not stand on the street corners or in
front of saloons?do not smoke constantly
cheap cigars, or chew tobacco; remember
young ladies don't wish to have their
sweet lips pressed by mouths which are
saturated and shrivelled by tobacco juice;
and when they swallow politely the
smoke which has passed through your
lungs and throat, impregnated with any
bronchial affection you may have, and
out again, the thought is loathing to a
refined lady. Young man, do not be
indolent and take your mother's money to
buy " stove pipe" hats to wear a little on
one side, and at'ter.shirkiug work yourself,
01 doing it so badly that you have been
discharged, do not look with contempt
on the honest mechanic who passes you
in the street; and condescendingly nod
to yDur tailor and shoemaker whom you
owe. Remember he earns his money,
while you beg yours or borrow where
you cannot pay. Think of yourself and
compare your present style to their manliness.
Disuusted.?A retired French trades
mail was lately much disgusted at finding
various valuable personal articles mysteriously
absent from their proper places.
Residing with him was an old servant*
who had lived in the house thirty years,
and a nephew. It was impossible for him
to suspect either, and yet there was no
ground for supposing that the robberies
had been effected by anyone outside the
house. lie resolved to watch. To his
consternation he observed, one or two

dress, desceid, take various valuable
articles, and proceed with them to a
sammer-house in the garden. On his return
the uncle confronted him, being duly
prepared, we may suppose, for ila scene."

upstairs to his room. Next day the uncle
taxed him with his extraordinary conduct.
The nephew denied all knowledge of it.
The surnmer-house was searched, and in a
celkr beneath it all the missing articles
were found. It is bad enough t? have
either a somnambulist or a kleptomaniac
in a family, but the two combined is
really a trial which we trust, for poor
humanity's sake, will remain rare.
Good Seed. ? We have met farmers, j
says Rural Ntic Yorker, who have a local
reputation for producing the best wheat,
rye, oats, corn and potatoes, who have <
gained and maintained it by a careful se- 1
lection and use of the best seed these re- 1
spective crops produced from year to i
year. Some of them have secured what ]
are regarded distinct varieties, by watch- f
ing their fields and selecting such stalks ]
of grain as showed remarkable growth
and perfectness of development. Any t
farmer with care, can do the same thing, s
Emperor William of Prussia.
Kate Field famishes a Paris paper the
ollowing pleasant gossip about Kaiser
iVilliam: "I don't know whether it be the
lTect of victory, bat certainly I never saw
inch a satisfied looking people as these
>erraans. Their complacency is absolutoy
exasperating, and I do not wonder that
ianguine Frenchmen are driven almost
ivild by the sight of a Prussian helmet.
V settled ' rock of ages' expression about
;keir faces expresses eternity rather than
;ime, and to associate death with such
mpertubable life seems almost impossible.
\s to the Emperor, he carries out the idea
)f everlasting life by being as active at
jeventy-iive as most men are at fifty-five.
He is sun, moon and stars to every German
nan, woman and child at Ems.
"That the Emperor's mind is eminently
practical shows itself constantly, and that
tie dislikes ostentation is proved by his
tife at Ems. Dressed quietly in a suit of
pepper-and-salt,' ho appears among the
people accompanied by a member of the
eourt; 'drinks his water at the spring like
every body else, shakes hands with his
friends, bows to every body and discourages
ceremony of all kinds.
" When the Kaiser first went to Ems he
sent for all the physicians, receiving them
most cordially* and sitting on the end of
the table during the entire interview.
Upon takiDg leave of them he said : 'Remember,
gentlemen, that when you meet
me you are not to know me, for I am a
poor man and cannot afford to buy many
hats.' This was a polite way for telling
the gentlemen that it was a great bore for
him to return salutations and that he had
rather not be recognized. No physician
of Ems will be found removing his hat at
the approach of the Emperor.
''His reference to poverty is not unfrequent.
Upon the birth of one of the
Crown Prince's children, a coutier with
whom he chanced te be walking drew the
Imperial attention to a trinket, remarking
that it would be a suitable present for
the happy mother. 'Ah no,' replied the
cautious Wilhelm, 'that would be a bad
precedent, for if my daughter goes on
adding to her family as she has begnn, I
should eventually be ruined. I am too
poor for such extravagance.'
"Not long ago he received a beautiful
gold and silver escritoire, as a token of
gratitude from a wealthy banker whom he
had ennobled for largely endowing a hospital.
Gazing at the superb gift Wilhelm
remarked: 'My subjects are better off
than I am. I cannot afford to make my
friends such costly presents!' 'I dined
with IIis Majesty yesterday,' said a German,
whose position is not higher than
that of a hotel treasurer. 'IIo is very
frank and friendly.'
"The Kaiser frequently gives dinners to
the officers stationed Hear, or visiting
here, and in fact any person in the Government
employ, either civil or military,
is eligible to this distinction, which is
considered ample compensation for exceedingly
meager salaries. The Kaiser is
very like his photograph, only he is not as
a.~.i r?~t
good looking as represeineu. ticui auu
soldierly in his cairiage, portly, but not
obese in figure, he resembles an English
country gentleman, or a solid, shrewd
man of Boston. "What his chin lacks in
force his head makes up in obstinacy,
while there is an extreme thickness of
neck and breadth of cerebellum that indicate
unusual fightiug proclivities and a
bull-dog tenacity. I should say it would
be difficult to pound a new idea into his
head or an old one out."

I Ions k Power.?The term horsepower
bears among engineers three very different
meanings, being, however, generally qualified
by the adjectives nominal, indirect*
or actual, each of which refers to certain
special data upon which the estimate
of power is based. Nominal horse-power
is generally estimated from the diameter
of the cylinder, the length of the stroke,
multiplied by a certain standard velocity
of piston and pressure of steam. A9 each
engineer decides for himself what this
pressure and velocity shall be, the standard
varies with different makers, and for
all practical purposes a statement of the
diameter of cylinder and length of stroke
would convey a far clearer idea than any
mere expression of nominal horse-power.
Some Scotch miners at Wishaw recently
did a remarkable thing. They
voluntarily refused an advance of a shilling
a day in their wages,on the ground
that the coal masters had raised the
price of coal seven shillings per ton.
The men were unwilling to lie under the
imputation of having occasioned this
ise, and so, in a public meeting, requested
the masters to "take the last
idvance off the price, and take back the
hilling,"
How Ah Sin Keeps the Day.
The San Francisco Bulletin says it is
the custom among Chinese house ser- '
vants to stipulate with their employers 1
for a portion of Sunday, on which day 1
they visit their countrymen in the (
Chinese quarter, talk over the news from
home, have their heads shaved, go
through with their genuflections and
salaams in joss houses, smoke opium,
&3., some of them closing up the day's
performances by gettiBg rid of their
week's wages in the Chinese gambling
houses, which are so thickly located
along Dupont street. The sidewalks
swarm with these gregarious beings,
whose nature it is to huddle in flocks on
the surface and burrow in bauds beneath.
Their dens are hives of industry on week
days, and rooms reeking with smoke on
Sundays. A visitor who ventures inside
has to step over the prostrate bodies of
opium smokers, and feel his way through
clouds of smoke, meantime holding his
nose against a sickening stench of fetid
breath, decayed lish?in short, a conglomeration
of odors nowhere to be
found outside of a cellar reeking with
the fumes of a crowd of Chinese. For
the sake of the delectable pleasure to be
found m such places, John frequently
refuses to take good situations in the
country; like Bridget, he must be in
town, where he can at least once a week
see his "cousin." Xlie uninese nave
hosts of relatives; uncles and cousins?
especially the latter?are counted by the
score. They regard as cousins those
several removes further than a white
man ever thinks it worth his while to
inquire. These "cousins" are generally
friends, all belonging to the same commercial
company, and when they meet
on Sunday, the jabbering is energetic
beyond description. All day and late
in the night John keeps up his round
of visits among his cousins, but manages
to be on hand Monday morning, ready
for work, which he generally performs
cheerfully, and with fidelity.
Diabolical Thieves.?The Journal
des Debats quotes a letter dated Nijhi
Novgorod, in which an account is given of
a daring robbery perpetrated by thieves
of that place. The correspondent says:
"On the 3d of September at 7 o'clock, the
great theatre which contains one thoussnd
persons, was full. The piece represented
was a favorite one,entitled "Crime and its
Punishment." Among those present
were the leading military and civil officers,
the head of the police, and a large number
of police officers. "While tho first act
was being played, and the attention of the
spectators was fixed on the stage,a report
was suddenly heard, a slight smoke filled
the upper part of the theatre, and a cry of
"fire" was raised. Everybody rushed to
the doors but only one was open. Terror
became general when this was discovered.
The crowd was enormous, and persons
were thrown down and trampled upon.
The thieves who had combined to cause
this alarm took the opportunity of seizing
whatever they could lay their hands upon.
They tore earrings from the women and
stole watches and 6tuds from the men.
This scene lasted for about ten minutes,
the people employed in the theater and
the police made it known that there was
no trace ot fire. "When tranquility had
been restored, inquiry was made respecting
the articles stolen, and if was found
that the value exceeded 100,000 roubles.
Several persons were killed; three men
and a woman were taken to the hospital
dangerously wounded, and an actress received
a very serious wound. The thieves
contrived to escape.
Is Russia.?Little graia is raised in
Russia, above St. Petersburg, and that
little, so damp is the climate, must be kilndried
for preservation. In some localities
barley is sown as far north as Mesen ;
but it is only three or four times in a
century that the season is warm enough
and long enough to bring it to perfection,
, and it is usually cut as fodder for the
cattle. All these latitudes depend mainly
for their cereals upon the richer harvests
of the south ; but their rivers are stocked
with fish, myriads of wild fowl find a
home in the woods and by the lakes,
mushrooms abound, and the swamps are
filled with cranberries and whortleberries
that ripen despite the frosty air. "The
wealth of this region, from the Gulf of
i Bothnia to the Oural, is in its forests and
fisheries. The people are wood-cutters,
hunters, fishers, workers in metals, charcoal-burners,
preparers of tar and pitch
and potash, makers of mats and of various
utensils from the bark of the linden, and
of coarse linen and cordage from the tlax
and hemp of their low-lying fields.
A Reporter's Credentials.?The St.
Louis reporters have queer credentials
to public entertainments. A few days
since one made application for entrance
to the fair grounds. The following
conversation- mcicuiwu cusucu ucumu
him and the guardian of the gate : "Got
a ticket, sir ?" "No, sir." " Well, you
can't go iu then?stand aside." "But
I'm a reporter for the Globe." "Show
me your credentials." "Well, here are
three passes on the Iron Mountain Railroad,
one on the Belleviile branch of the
Cairo Short Line, one on the St. Louis
and Southeastern, one on the Fifth street
road. Here's a copy of the Globe, a
ticket on a Chinese laundry, a restaurant
bill of fare, two toothpicks, a clean
hankerchief, a bunch of keys and a
pipe." "Pass in, sir."
A Mysteiiy.?It's a deep mystery?the
way the heart of mau turns to onewoman
out of all the rest he's seen i' the world,
and makes it easier for him to work seven
years for her, like Tabob did for Rachel,
sooner than have any woman for th' asking.
I often think of them words, " And !
Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and
fliey seemed unto him but a few days, for j
the love he had to her." \
The Reward of Rashness.
The Herisfa of Naples contains the folowing
account of the loss of two gentlenen
in the crater of Vesuvius, who with
jreat temerity insisted on being lowered
lown to the dark cavern immediately
below the orifice of the crater : "A party
was formed to ascend Mount Vesuvius in
the Caffe di Europa. The party consisted
of two Americans, three Englishmen, and
one Frenchman. They took cairiages
from the caffe for Iiesina, reaching there
at halt-past eleven p. m. Having procured
horses, guides, and other necessaries,
they started for the burning mouutain
and began the ascent, one Luigi Garoglio
leading as cicerone, and arrived at the
base of the uppermost cone further than
which horses do not go. The tourists
then began the ascent over the hillocks
and boulders of lava until the vicinity of
the crater was reached, when Messrs.
Jame9 Vile-ox and Francois Le Mieur, an
American and a Frenchman, insisted on
being lowered down to the cavern which
is formed below the mouth of the volcano.
The guides, who provided themselves with
ropes for that purpose, complied with the
rcquett of the foreigners and lowered

fectly quiet no danger was anticipated:
but when one of the party above the
crater called out to the rash adventurers,
no answer was returned. The guides
growing anxious, cried, " Gentlemen, it
would be better for you to hold on to the
ends of the ropes." Still the ropes remained
slack, and no answer came from
the sulphurous and murky cavern below,
Twenty minute? passed and the adventurers
were yet silent. It was then proposed
that one of the guides should bt

of the cavern base. lie had hardly en

(" Up ! up! there's nothing here
but a very narrow rock!")
As far as any living person can tell the
rest, the unfortunate strangers, the vie
tims of their own imprudence,were hurlec
into the mysterious abysses of Mounl
Vesuvius.
In this same month, sixteen years ago
two Englishmen of birth and fortune, ant
a French comedian committed the same
terrible error. The same ambition whicl
urged them to scale the icy heights o
the Matterhorn also nerved them to searcl
insidious Vesuvius while it slept, ant
they were either lost in some labyrinth o
