All know the torment of drinking w:inn, hnickish water. i have used the following jdan, whieh eume under my tUitii'D i m* 1 u'n cined' 1 Iwillcrllt 1 half a dozen tin milk ran*, holding four | gallons cadi. ami covered them with | < ?tarse, thick canvas, of a kind that absorbs water easily, drawing the cloths tightly around the can and sewing them so they could not get oil*. At night the cloths are dipped in a tub of water until thoy are thoroughly saturated; they are then filled with water and set where the breeze will blow upon them, and in the morning the water is quite cold and remains so during the day if the cloths are wet occasionally and the cans placed in the shade where they are exposed to a current of air. The men on going out to work take as many cans of water as they will need, and so have the luxury of cool wa'cr to drink during the heat of the day. Any kind of coarse cloth will do to cover the cans?the thicker the better- as they won't need wetting so often, but tiie "cans must be kept closed and the cloths wet to insure success. Simm rr r.ri-M; ?One irallon of water. oni* ouart of good molasses, one-fourth ounce whole cloves. one-fourth ouuee white ginger-root, one-half ounce whole allspice, one-half ounce sassafras. Boil all well, I boil mir.e three hours. After taking it oil' the tire pour it into a clean tub and add one and a half gallons of water. Let this stand till milk-warm, then add two tablesnoonfuls of baker's or brewer's yeast; then stand away in the cellar or some cool place during the night, covering it. The next day it will be lit for bottling. One or two raisins, with a few holes punehed in them with n fork, placed in each bottle add greatly to its ilavor. Put it in strong bottles, cork tightly, and tie down with twine. Set in a cool cellar, and in three or four days it will be ripe. Oin'cku Am:.?(linger ale will form an excellent, stimulating drink, and it can be made as easily in the city as the country. Procure four ounces of white ginger root and pound or bruise it thoroughIf \fiv ifitli if t liviiu nllrwuiQ f\f pru<mi of tartar: then sliee up very finely eight lemons, aft or squeezing out all the juice. Pour over the whole five gallons of boiling water, and stir into it five pounds of sugar. Let it stand until milk warm; then put in a large sliee of dry bread, and pour over it a cupful of liquid yeast. Let it ferment for twelve hours, covering the whole with a cloth if you intend to bottle it: but if it is made in a keg. let it ferment through the hunghole for sixteen hours ami then close it tightly, and in two days it will be ready for use. It will foam like cream ale. while_ its flavor will suit the most fastidious palate. It must be kept in an ice-house or the coldest of collars or it will become sour; but that can be remedied by adding a tablcspoonful of sugar to each glass of beer. If bottled, fill the bottles only two-thirds full, and fasten the corks with wire or twine. Don Patricia, in Farm and Fireside. Orchard ami (taritcu Xote*. A Michigan lady says that one teaspoonful of kerosene to a gallon of water, sprinkled on plants with a hand-broom, destroys green flies, currant worms and other pests, and has been used without injury on fuchsias,geraniums, callus and other plants. M. B. Batcham advises to wash grapevines with a weak solution of carbolic soap, as helping to counteract the work of steel blue beetle on the buds, and also as having a tendency to kill olT the seeds or sprouts of mildew which exist on the bark and buds of the vines during the winter season. Put the hen coops under your fruit trees, and the old hen with her chicks there, and qvorv morning knock on the _ trees with :< quick, hard rap, and the litViyXviXk.wfll drop and chick will taki" lutn. \ Scatter raider the fruit trees, sny a miii.rt of salt to a full-crown fruit tree. twice every week <>r two, until fruit is nearly grown, and it will greatly prevent the working and ravages of worms.

Feed tl?? grapes, fruit trees, etc.. if on poorest soil, with manure, and they will feed you. Mr. J. B. Oleott mentions a successful trial of changing the bearing year of a large apple tree by picking off the blossoms?a day's work of a man, or Si 25. l'rof. Farrington, in a summary of the experiments begun in 1S70 by the Maine Agricultural College to ascertain which has the greater value as food for swine, cooked ?r uncooked meal, says: We have, b> an experiment which lias been continued through from three to four months of each of the nine years since its beginning, obtained evidence that all the money and labor expended in cooking meal for swine is more than thrown away. So much sickness, too often fatal, results from damp walls, that every precaution should he taken to remedy the evil. Readers of Rural Life interested may be benefited by heeding-the following remedy from one who evidently knows whereof he affirms: Moisture may he kept from a brick wall by dissolving three-quarters of a pound of mottled soap in one gallon of boiling water, and spreading the hot solution steadily, with a large flat brush, over the surface of the brickwork, taking care that it does not lather. This is to he allowed to dry for twenty-four hours, when a solution formed of a quarter of a pound of alum dissolved in two gallons of water is to be applied in a similar manner over the coating of soap.

I.ettuce ltunuini; to Seed. A German authority says that when lettuce shows signs of running to seed, if a knife be passed through one-half of the stem of the shooting head, the plant may be preserved good for an additional week. The best plan we have ever known for preserving lettuce late, says the ^j>.Prairic Fanner, is to transplant twice, once-from the seed bed, pricking the plants out four inches apart, and then transplanting in the open ground tlxlii inches apart; as the rows begin to till cut out one-half of the plants, and the balance will form line large heads, if the ground l>o rich and moist, and they will remain well into the summer. An Indian's Grit. A short time ago a young v inppewa hunter was shooting squirrels in the ? woods that border Lake Huron near l'enetanguisbene. Ont.. when by some means a large blighted pine fell upon him, knocking him down and crushing nis leg, which was irai iuH ii m i > u i places. He eoul<l not rise?he could not j remove the tree which was lying across ' his broken leg. He was far from the probability of passing aid, and to lie j there and starve to death in agony | seemed all that was left to him. In his | dilemma, with all the fortitude and promptness of romance, he took out his ! knife,'cut oil'his own ieg, bound it up j with his sash, dragged himself along the : ground to his canoe, and paddled him- j self home to his wigwam on a distant island. There the care of his wounds was completed, and the man is still alive. 1 % Sayings of Celebrities Dean Stanley says: " Our leisure hours are among those that have the most importance in molding our characters. Our working hours are very important, but our leisure hours are those that form our tastes and our habits.*' Lieutenant - Colonel Knollys says: "That the ranks of the Ilritisli army are now tilled with immature boys is a fact obvious to any one who will use bis eyes. Officers deplore it, the press calls attention to it ana the authorities do not attempt to deny it." Sir Ilcnrv Thompson, the English surgeon, s:iys: " Persons wlio drink writer when dining probably enjoy food more than those who drink wine. They have generally belter appetite and digestion, and they eertainly preserve an appreciative palate longer than the winedrinker." Mr. Thomas Itughes says: " The ideal American, as he has been painted for us of late, is a man who has shaken oft* the yoke of definite creeds, while retaining their moral essence, and finds the highest sanctions needed for the conduct of human iifc in experience tempered with common sense." The Karl of Punraven says: "Whether in connection with this country ((Ireat Britain) or as independent, or as joined to the United States, or any portion of them, that vast region which is now called British North America will assuredly some day support the strongest, most powerful and most masterful population on the continent of America." Mr. W. E. Forstcr, M. 1'., says: " In dealing with the education of girls in the training colleges it has been found that they require little driving to work compared with boys, and that they are more susceptible to influences of ambition and a desire to succeed. The danger in the training colleges for elementary schools is from overwork. There is no fear that vounir women will not avail themselves of the opportunities offered." Mr. Caird, the English agriculturist says: "Wc are threatened with good tilings from America in a profusion beyonif past experience. The cost of transport from the rich corn lands of the interior has been vastly diminished and Liverpool is thus being brought as near the center of production as New York was twenty years ago. I believe there is a serious competition awaiting us from this cause, to which it would be folly to close our eyes." Dr. B. W. Richardson, the English chemist who first made known to the world certain tacts concerning chloral, says that there are now chloral-drinkers just as there are dram-drinkers and opium-eaters: that the disease which he calls ehloralism has become rather widespread among merchants, lawyers, doctors, artists, literary men, clergymen, and that if chloral cannot^be kept for use within its legitimate sphere as a medicine,.it would be better for mankind not to have it at all. Professor St.George Mivart says: " It is now known that a variety of animals habitually reproduce their kind, as plants so largely do, by a process of external budding. This happens, for example, with the hydra and animals like it. Animals may even be propagated by cuttings. Thus, if a .lydra or the common sea-anemone (futhea) be bisected, 1. i._ir ? ca-fll I nil 1 0UUU f;iunn ill tu tur p?,uv* v form once more, and many worms (such as scyllis or catenula), and many animalcules, called infusoria, habitually multiply by self-made sections?that is, by spontaneous division or lission." Color-Blindness. Color-bnndness, says an exchange, has been much talked about of late, and its existence has been conclusively proved. Out of a large number of railroad men employed on the roads converging at Philadelphia, who were examined by Dr. Keyser, of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, per cent, mistook colors one for the other, and 8$ per cent, were incapable of distinguishing shades of colors. Prof. Wilson, of Edinburgh, found that one person in twenty, or five percent. >)f those examined, was color-blind. In Switzerland. 171 railroad employees out of 7,953 were discharged for color-blindness. and on the Paris and Lyons railroad ten per cent, were affected in the same way. The Marine Hospital Service lias recently issued a circular, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, offering to examine seamen at an ports where officers of the service are stationed. without expense to the seamen or the masters of vessels. The examination rovers all physical defects, including those of vision, and certificates of fitness or rejection will be given, and a record of all examinations will be placed on file with the Surgeon-General of the Marine Hospital Service at Washington. Dr. B. Joy Jeffries, of Boston, who appeared before the railroad committee of the Massachusetts Legislature last winter, and testified as to the prevalence and danger of color-blindness, has made one convert, the Boston and Hingham Steamboat! Company. whose employees he lias lately examined for color-blindness. Area and Population of Texas. Texas has a vast domain. Between the Sabine river on the east, me nea river on the West, and the 400 miles of coast line on the south you inclose 274,000 square miles, or over 175,000,000acres of territory. This one State is larger than the Kingdom of great Britain, larger than France, and larger than the German Empire. You could carve out of Texas thirty-live States as large as Massachusetts, or nearly six as large as New York. Place the six New England States on Texas, and you have covered but little more than one-fourth of the Great State. Add all the Middle States and still you have covered only about two-thirds. Not till you have combined Maryland, Virginia and Ohio with the Middle and New England States, do you equal the immense area of Texas. And this " lone star" is not so lonely as some may imagine. It already has a population of 2.000,000, and the marvelous immigration now pouring into the State increases the number at the rate of 300,000 a year. These new settlers are mostly from the Northern States and from Europe. Well, let them come? " Uncle Snm is rich enough To buy us nil ainrm." You could leather the entire population of tli" United States into Texas, [ and not have it more crowded than some parts o:' our land are now.? Troy Times. Favoring Cremation. | The Municipal Council of Udin \ a I town of Italy about forty miles from ! Venice, has lately published a decree in | which it declares that, after having duly i weighed and considered the advantages 1 and drawbacksof cremation vetrns inter! ment, it has come to the conclusion that, the former is in every respect preferable for the following reasons: 1. In a hygienic point of view it is undoubtedly the best way of disposing of dead bodies. 2. It is a mark of progress, because, by making cremation optional, the individual is at libertvtochoosebetween the modes of burial. 3. Considered from a scientific, social, religious and sentimental point of view, no valid reasons can be brought forward against it, while many very good reasons might be quoted for it. 4. The expenses would not be heavier than those of an ordinary burial. Cremation has been long introduced, and is carried out at Milan as at Gotha. It is now also officially authorized at Paris. Female farmers' clubs prosper out West, especially in Kansas. PIUNUE NAPOLEONS TALISMAN. History of the ltrllqnnry that the Zulus I.fit Itcvidc his Hotly. In the will of Napoleon III. occurs the ! follow it)!; remarkable passage: " With ! regard to my son, let him ktep as a talisi man thoscai I used to wear attached to ! my watch, and which comes from my mother; let him carefully preserve everything that comes to ni from the Emperor, my uncle; and let him he con vineed tlint my heart ai <1 my soul ivmain with him." The telegram from Cape Town which'announoed the fliulinir I of the late cx-I'rince Imperial contains these words: " The prince's body wa< j found stripped of all clothing, but had ; not su Acred any mutilation, and the rc! Ihjuary whieli lie wore suspended by a chain from his neck, together with his watch and rings, which was found lying near the spot where he fell." The " talisman " whiel the late Emperor so solemnly enjoined to his son to wear, which lie did wear, and which returned to his mother from that wild scene beside the Tombakala, is almost certainly theonee famous charm of the Charlemagne. It has a more interesting story than any gem in Europe, if not in the world. In the course or studies for other purposes I have recently come upon legendary traces of this curious object. " La plus belle rcliqued1 FEurope," as a French antiquarian described it in the last generation, was by one myth said to have been contrived by one of the Magi belonging to the court of Ilaroun-aTRaschid, who came from the cast to pay homage to the great emperor of the west along with certain ambassadors. The. wife of Charlemagne, Estrada, asked the Magi for a talisman which would always cause her husband to be fascinated by its wearer, and this charm was iramcu ai iter instance. mu anoiucr fable ascribed to it the following origin: While Charlemagne had his? seat" at Zum Loch, near Zurich, administering exact justice to all, he had a column fixed at his gates with a bell and a rope. It was open to any one demanding justice to sound this bell; :.nd when the emperor heard it* even though at his meals, he would instantly answer the summons. On one occasion this bell was repeatedly rung without any person being found near it. At length an enormous serpent was found twined around the rope. The emperor hearing this immediately went forth: the serpent inclined respectfully before him, and then moved siowly off. Charlemagne fol" >ved it to the river, where he saw a mo sirous toad sitting upon the nest andegiS of the serpent. Resolved to administer justice to all creatures, the empe.o * Oifved the toad to be burned. A tew days after this serpent crept into the judgment hall, bowed low to the emperor, crept upon the table, and hnriYwr *? nr/uonnc etono imn !? golden goblet, glided quietly away. The emperor, impressed by this marvel, built on the spot where the serpent's nest had been a church called " Wasserkelch." lie gave the precious stone tc his beloved spouse. Fastraia. The stone so drew toward her the emperor's lovi that he could hardlysutier ier out of his sight. In the hour of her death t he empress, dreading lest another should succeed her in the affections of the emperor, placed the gem beneath her tongue, ami it was buried w'th her. Charlemagne could not separate himself from iIk body, and for eighteen years carried it about with him. At length his confessor, by some blaek art, discovered the stone and its virtues; after which Charlemagne allowed the holy to be interred, and transferred hi? affection tc the confessor, who became his prime minister, archbishop of Mainz, and chancellor of the empire. But then, either in a moment of repentance or anger, this individual threw the stem into a lake near Ingethum. Then t'.if nffpetinn of ChnTipmaTne was diverted from Ins former favorite to the lake, and lie huiit beside it a palate, for whose decoration his other imperial residences were made bare. Hut when Charlemagne came to die his throes were Ions; and violent; and the archbishop, know ins the cause, had the lake dragged for the gem he had thrown into it. The talisman having been restored to the person of the monarch, he died peacefully (811), The tomb of Charlemagne, at Aix-laChapelle, was opened by Otto III. in 997, and it is said that the wonderful gem was found suspended from his neck However that may be, the gem had been for a long time the most valued relic in Aix-la-Chapelle when it was presen ted by that city to Napoleon I. It was at a moment when he seeujod te many, pre-eminently to himself, an avatar of Charlemagne. Napoleon presented it to his favorite IIorten.se, ri-devav Queen of Holland. At her death, in 1837, it passed to her son, Napoleon III, It shared his imprisonment at ilam and aecompauied him through all his vicissitudes. In the course ot its Ion? history the precious stone lias undergone evolutions, The nut-like stone constituting its basis is surrounded by antique filigree of tint trold, and is set with various gems There arc several relics about it. Tt is open to speculation how far the young ex-prinee was influenced l?y this talisman. That which hi? father won at his watch chain the son wore suspended upon liis breast, as Catholics wear the most sacred reliquaries ir whose protective virtues they believe, The strange mystical addresses to tin D.i.y fouml among this youth's papers i weal a degree of superstition about Himseu which amounts iu a payi-nummcal phenomenon. At the seat of war, in Africa, he displayed a recklessness which has led some to believe that his desire tr do "something to get himself talked about" (words reported from him by his intimate friend M. Amigues) amounted to insanity, while others believe that he sought death. But it is possible that n natural rashness of disposition, and the tradition that a Napoleon must begin wiih a military halo, were, turned to fatal forces by secret faith in the potency of this talisman.?Monciire 1).Conway, in Harper's Weekly. American Physique. It has been, and is with a large class of people to-day, a generally received opinion that Americans as whole an deficient in physical development. Tin ideal Jonathan, a lean and withal wiry specimen of humanity, lias been popularly looked upon as the typical American citizen; but let us see if this theory is borne out by adequate evidence. A distinguished lecturer connected will the Harvard Medical School recently stated before one of bis classes that, or a careful comparison of the vital statistics of school children in this country with those of the same class in England lie found the Americans sngnttysupenoi to their English cousins in strength ami stature. This statement, coming as it does from so high an authority, must 1m | a surprise even to many scientific men. The fact is there lias been a vast chatigi in the physical condition of American citizens during the past half century The statistics of our army surgeons in the late war show that our nativi soldiers were taller and stouter thar their comrades from England, Trelami or Germany. All our representative men of late years, with few exceptions have been men of magnificent physique The members of our present Congrest are remarkable in this respect, and un doubtedly afford the linest spectacle o 1 1 lv/1 Dimim piiySll'SU uvvcivputvitu iv u\. ivvnui I existing legislative bodies. * I t Mr. Giorge M. Beard, writing in a recent lumber of the Atlantic concerning the .uture of America from a physical standpoint, records very accurately Lie causes which have led to these changes. There are three important factors in the physical development or nondevelopment of any nation, viz., race, climate nnd surroundings. Perhaps the nin<t imnoi'tant factor of all is climate. It is the difference in climate between this country and Europe which has wrought such wonderful changes in our people in so short a time. To this cause alone may he ascribed our tendency to nervous diseases, for such things as nervous exhaustion and nervous fevers were comparatively unknown during the lirst century of this nation's existence. Our English ancestors, coming to these then inhospitable shores, brought with them their English temperament which had been developed through centuriesot residence in a moist and equable climate. Time was required to bring about a change, but from the day the Pilgrim Fathers landed on this continent there has been a gradual evolution of a new race. The fevers incident to residence in a moist climate have given place to the alarming train of nervous affections which are often regarded as mythical by many who still retain the Anglo-Saxon temperament. ?K.? l,?c people are better fed, better ciothed, better aldo to withstand the sudden changes so injurious to a foreigner, and in this accumulation and transmission of wealth Mr. Heard also finds the agents which arc to alleviate nervous disorders. With increased prosperity comes leisure, and with leisure physical improvement, and the above-mentioned writer pictures to himself an ideal state of society in which the weitfthy few will be occupied in advancing the temporal welfare of the needy many. His summing up of the result of race evolution during the past history of the nation is, however, entirely satisfactory; he says: "During the last two decades, the well-to-do classes of America have been visibly growing stronger, fuller, healthier. We j weigh more than our fathers; the women in all our great centers of populatio i arc yearly looming more plump and beautiful, anuin the leading brain-working occupations our men are also acquiring robustness,[amplitude, quantity of being. On all sides there is a visible reversion to the better physical appearance of our English and German ancestors. A thousand boys and girls, a thousand men in the priiha?of years, taken by accident in any of our largo cities, are heavier and , more substantial than were the same : number of the same age and walk of life twenty-tire years ago." Whence it appears that the American, i in spite of his much-derided want of enthusiasm for athletic sports, stands even now at the head of the nations in nhysi, eal development; and this certainly is a I good omen for the futureBoston Traveller.
