ARM, HARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD Hints for the Farmer. Feed the grapes, fruit ti*ees. etc., if or a Poor soil, with manure, and thev wili feed you. Scatter under the fruit trees say f quart of salt to a crown fruit tree twici every week or two until the fruit is nearly grown, and it will greatly prevent the working and ravages of worms, Put the hen coops under your fruil trees and the old hen with her chickens there, and every morning knock on tlu trees with a quick hard rap, and the little Turk will drop and chick will catch him. Some horsemen water their animals frequent.yl but the best authorities do , not allow them to drink more than three times a day. Such horses perspire readily, and are not covered with foam on the road. Be careful, howevei, to sponge their mouths frequently. A good suggestion comes from Pennsylvania. If carbolic acid soap is rubbed on the neck and legs of a horse, he will . not be bothered by tlics. The strong odor of the soap drives these miserable horse-tormentors away; and besides, the soap gives the animal's coat a tine polish. Take a dry cake of the soap, and rub on after grooming. The Bedford Inquirer says that a teaspoonful of kerosene to a gallon of water V will destroy currant worms, green flies, - rose worms and other insects without . ' injury to the most delicate plants, even fuchias, geranium?, callas, etc., if applied with a sprinkling can two or three , ' times a week. We learn from another source that corn cobs saturated with ^ kerosene and hung upon the limbs of ~ ^^^ 4>lum trees will keep away the cureulio. One farmer says: I have fed all kinds of roots and considerable quantities of them t<> cattle, and among them all I consider the potato, fed raw to cows, the best for quantity of milk or quality of beef. The best beef I ever tasted was fattened on potatoes and meal. My experience is that they shouid never be cooked for eattla, but always for hogs, and at half the price of corn they are profitable to feed in connection with meal. Dr. Nichols says, in the Journal of Chnnistry: It is, under ordinary conditions, advisable and advantageous to plant corn for fodder in drills, with at lc.-ist twenty inches space between, so that air and sunlight can have free access to the growing plants; but it is not, ???d husbandry to sow thickly broadcast. Plants depend for healthy growth and nutrition upon actinic light and heat, and upon access ot air. Any . plant deprived of these agencies in its growth is unsuitable for the food of animals. A correspondent of the Country Oentlcman says that no dressing of manure is completely consumed by the crop to which it is applied. Soluble and active manures produce their principal effect at once, and are of little benefit to subsequent crops. Manures sparingly soluble, and those which must suffer decomposition in the soil before they are of service to the plant, as bones and farmyard manure, will, on the contrary, produce an effect over many years. Farmers have a prejudice in favor of the latter class of manures, but it is clear that the quickest return for capital invested is afforded by the former class. " ? ? Preparing Produce for Market. . '"^TrBpstpn Cultivator alludes to the fact tli^7^?-~uiattentiou now being paid to paekages"ftTr?^:. , - ^ presenting articles of farm proawnr-rwthe markets than formerly. What would satisfy the wants of village and town customers a dozen years ago will not do it to-day; and though a higher standard in this respect has always been observable at our leading metropolitan markets, yet here the tine art of preparing farm products for the best customers has made very rapid advances toward perfection within even a few years. " I want more of your butter," said the merchant to a first class butter maker, whose product always came to his counter in splendid style, " for I can hardly get enough to furnish my customers. No, sir," he said the next dav to a farmer whose butter came to the market in an old tub, with not a very clean cloth over the top of it, and in a rather soft condition ; " no, sir; butter is very plenty, and I have a good supply on hand." Anil he had, of that kind. "But just here is the difference; the best margin of profit is alwavs in favor of the warty who sends his goods to market in attractive shape. This is true the world over with all kinds of products, and it is not less so of the farmer's manufactures than of any other. Indeed, if possible, there is more necessity that the farmer exercise cure and skill in arranging his goods for the market ban of most other men. For goods si U themselves largely; it is the \>est and most attractive that soonest find purchasers 3nd return the quickest profit. Now, there are certain products of the farm and garden that must be marketed largely as they are: that is, the art of the farmer or gardener can only go a little way in rendering them attractive for sale. These are fruits, vegetables, grain, etc., though even here is a chance for the display of some skill and taste in selling. The tipples :ind pears may be picked and selected with care; the grapes put in attractive boxes in just the right shape _ tor family eating; pears ana peaches 1 fi'lih't) ""v" and put up "the best " , , i 1 nun | I n mi i must make a study of pi i |i n ill n In n , i h in an acceptable and attractive form for customers; and as we ascertain the wants of customers, as exhibited at our great city markets, we shall endeavor from time to time to inform our readers and producers in order that they may know how to meet them.

Ru les for the prevention of scarlet fevei have lately been issued by the Michigan Board of Health, and as this is one of the most contagious of diseases it may be well to bear them in mind: " The first precaution is the isolation of the sicli from the well, and the prevention ol contact with the patient. The room should be cleared of all unnecessary clothing, carpets or other substances in nrhiph tnp nnicnnmnvlnrtnnH hp tlipnrp transferred elsewhere. The patient should use rags in place of handkerchiefs, so that they may be burned. Body and bed linen should be placed in vessels ol water containing chloride of lime or a similar substance. Discharges should be received in a solution of sulphate ol iron or copper, and be afterward buried. Persons recovering from this disease should be considered dangerous as long as there is any scaling of the skin, soreness of the eyes, etc. I THE CANYON OF NIAGARA. More Mysterious than the Falls Thernl selves?The Depth of the Water?lixcltlnif KxplorntIoii8> The canyon of Niagara, says a corret spondent of the Syracuse Standard, is far ? more mysterious than the falls them; selves. Within the era of civilization . in America no one was able to success, fully pierce through the fierce and territ ble undercurrent to the hottom, until re ; eenuy cue government itseii luougnt it ! necessary, in behalf of science, to under; take the task. All the great schemes [ imagined to be strictly scientific were put in operation by bunglers to obtain ! the deptn of water beneath the falls, i Bars ot railroad iron, pails of stones, ? and all unreasonable, bulky and awk> ward instruments were attached to long linesand eastoff from the railway bridge . and elsewhere, but positively refused to sink. The very bulk of the instrument was sufficient, no matter what their weight, to give the powerful undercurrent a way to buoy them upon the surface, or near it. The United States Corps of Engineers, however, with a small lead of only twelve pounds weight attached to a slender rope, or sounding-cord, easily obtained the depths from the falls to the lower bridge. As your correspondent assisted in the hydrographical operations, the facts may be given as they presented themselves. One day he launched in a small boat not far below the falls and entered on a most exciting and perilous exploration of the canyon. The old guide, long in charge of the miniature ferry situated here, accompanied* the party. _ With gieat difficulty we approached within a short distance of the American falls which darted creat iets of water on us and far out into the stream. The roar was so terrible that no voice or human sound, however near we were to one another. could be heard. The leadsman east the line.which passed rapidly down and told oil eighty-three feet. This was quite near the shore. Passing out of the friendly eddy which had assisted us up so near the falls, we shot rapidly down stream. The next cast of the lead told of 100 feet, deepening to 192 feet at the inclined railway. The average dentil to the Swift Drift,where the river suddenly becomes narrow, with a velocity too great to be measured, was 153 feet. Just under the lower bridge the whirlpool rapids set in, and so violently are the waters moved that they rise like ocean waves to the height of twenty feet. At this point our correspondent, at the time of the survey, computed the depth at 210 feet,which is accepted as approximately correct. The terrors of the gorge below this point are known to but few. Indeed the foot of man scarcely ever treads this infernal legion, where almost perpen dicuiar wans rise on eacn sine 01 uie verge of the river from 270 to 360 feet in height. Here the continually crumbling of the rocks lias formed a precipitous pathway in places on the river's edge; elsewhere one must cling to the crevices in the rock, to jutting crags, or otherwise to get along. A party of four of us made a survey of the interior of this canyon from Lewiston to Suspension Bridge. With great difficulty we clambered along. It was a tearful yet exciting exploration. At times the river would rise suddenly some ten and even fifteen feet as if a great dam above had broken, causing a hasty retreat of tlie parties up the side of the canyon. From points above, rocks and stones frequently fell.

Night was just approaching, and it was a day's hard work, nearly," to makeLewiston. Above, the rock towered nearly 300 feet. We had the alternative of remaining in this abode of Jerrors over night ana returning to Lewiston the following day, or of fighting an almost impossible passage to the steps leading down from the college. We determined to accept the latter. After an hour's climb we made our way to within 100 feet of the top. where just a narrow ridge formed by the crumbled debris seemed to extend. We [ouoweci mis pernaps nan a rou, wncn it came to an abrupt termination. Several rods beyond wiis a broad pathwayleading up to the rocks.but in the interim only the bare walls of rock, almost perpendicular from the top to the rushing water, 270 feet below, met the despairing gaze of our party. Just above our heads was a crevice in the rocks which seemed to cross the intervening space. With almost certain doom staring us directly in the face, we determined to try to cross by standing tiptoe in the crevice and cling to the jmtings of tinrocks. The various implements of tinparty were divided up, a heavy theodolite falling to your correspondent, which was strapped on his back. The tallest clamberecl up to the crevice first, tinothers assisting and following, and tinwriter eetting up last. Then began i> Derilous struggle to reach the pathway beyond.

In a moment more the pathway was reached and the safely of all assured, but never will the frightful scene leave the senses. One of the party saw the danger and rescued the participant, or else the gooseberry-bush was the saving means? we have never quite understood which. Humors of the Paris Exposition. Among the humors of the late Pari Exposition, says a Washington eor ! respondent, are the errors committed in the awards of diplomas to a number of American exhibitors, growing out of the unfamiliarity of the commission of awards with the American vernacular. ' In looking over the diplomas which have been received at the office of the I'.nmmiftsinnpr irpnpml thp fr?llr>win<r been casually noted: The diploma in' tended for the Providence Tool Company t is addressed to the Providence Fool Company ; tlm for the Gardner Gun Company is granted for a Fusil pour la Jardiniere or Gun for a Gardener; that for the Wamsutta Mills is grapted to Mous f Wamsutta- The Waterbury Button i Company receives its diploma in the ' name of Waterbury, Button & Company, i The commissioner general, understand! ing for whom the diplomas were in> tended, forwarded them to their destination.

N., read a paper on ."The Interoceanic Canal Problem." giving an account of the explorations for connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, in which he has 1 1 It I. A UCfll t*il??i?t;u whii u1111:1 a. uimuin 10sion had examined all the reports, and found only two practicable routes?one through Nicaragua and another by Panama. That through Nicaragua includes as an essential feature the use of Lake Nicaragua, situated ten miles from the Pacific coast, but with a surface 107 feet above mean tide on each side. It is 119 miles from the Caribbean Sea to the lake by the river San Juan, the outlet of the lake on this side. A canal from the lake to the Pacific Ocean would be 16 3-10 miles long, only seven miles of which would be difficult. The excavation would average fifty-four feet, anil ten locks of tin feet lift each would be required, with a tide lock of seven feet at the seashore. An artificial harbor would be required on the Pacific side, with a breakwater, for which the materials are easy to be obtained. There are fifty-two miles of navigation on Lake Nicaragua which will iieed little work, except at the south end. where are some six miles of swamp. The total length from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific is 180.7 miles?fifty-seven on the lake, 61.7 on the canal, and sixty-two j slack water. The estimate makes the bottom of the canal seventy-two feet wide, and gives twenty-six feet depth of water. The locks are to be 472 feet long.

The highest place would put the bottom of the canal seventy-eight feet ! above mean tide, and the surface ot the water in the canal 124 feet above mean tide. Total distance, forty-one miles, with twelve lift locks on each side of the summit. The heaviest cut would be 170 feet. The feeder would require 13,000 feet of tunnel and two aqueducts. The breakwater and sea wall at Aspinwall, 1,800 feet: cost estimated at $94,000.0<K). Materials are more accessible in Nicaragua, and the country is more healthy. The Nicaragua line enters the ocean at a much less distance from the United Stateson each side than the Panama route. He criticised the plans of the French congress recently held, and did not regard a sea-level canal as practicable. In one place the cost of the excavation of certain cuts on his plan would be $10.500,000, and for the French plan at the sea level, $40,000,000.

The power which rules the universe, this great, tender power, uses pnin as a signal of danger. Just, generous, beautiful nature never strikes a foul blow; never attacks us behind our backs; never digs pitfalls or lays ambuscades: never wears a smile upon her face when there is vengeance in her heart. Patiently she teaches us her laws, plainly she writes her warning, tenderly she graduates their force, Ixmg before the fierce, red danger light of pain is flashed, she pleads .with us?as though for her own sake, be invr*wifiiijo ourselves and to eacn otnvri?-^h.e maK?s--t4^_Cw>r worked brain to wander from the suTbject of its labors.

Weply whip and spur on the jaded brain as though it were a jibing horse?force it back into the road which leads to madness, and go on full gallop. We drug the rebellious Dody with stimulants, we hide the original and think we have escaped the danger, and are very festive be/ore night. We turn aside, as the Pharisee din of old, and pass on the other side with our handkerchief to our nose. At last, having broken nature's laws, and disregarded^ her warnings, forth she comes?drums heating, colors flyingright in front! to punish us. Then we go down on our knees and whimper about it having pleased God Almighty to send this affliction upon us, and we pray Him to work a miracle in order to reverse the natural consequences of ojr disobedience, or save us from the trouble of doing our duty. In othei words, we put our fingers in the fire and beg that t may not hurt.?Temple Bar. A Narrow Escape. A California railway engineer had a narrow escape from a bottomless pit a fortnight ago. lie had charge of a construction train and was hauling gravel. A short distance out of Benicia, and beyond Government Point, is a piece of tule land. Thousands and thousands of yards of dirt were thrown upon it when the road was built, and vet in a short time^even during the night., out of sight the whole would go. At last the road was ballasted and the track laid, and the rai.road authorities were smiling at the ~*t?iught of having their road in good working order by the first^f September. The engineer noticed that the earth had a depressed appearance, but he was so tar aavaucoa iu?t *t m-o? imno^siblc to stop, and having on a powerful head 01 ,v* hA flm rolrn and wnnt 91CUU1, 1IC V/^Ctuu ??uiu um. it v?iv rushing over the dangerous place, and at the same time felt the ground settling under the train. In a moment they were over the morass, and upon cheeking the engine the men on the train looked back, and for a distance of over three hundred feet they saw the ground, the ties and the track in one vast body go down into the bottomless pit a distance of fifty feet. Counterfeit Eggs. Several most staid and dignified British journals have recently been most richly sold by a ridiculous story in the San Francisco Post last winter about the manufacture of artificial eggs in California for transportation. The pleasant squib was much enjoyed by newspaper exchange editors on this side of the water,but oroducedavery different effect on the other side, forming the text of frave anci even iBdignant articles m tne ViJJJ MaZ Gazelle, the Mark Lane Express, the Melbourne Australian, and even in the leading Prussian paper, the Kreuzzeitunrj. The latter, indeed, reviews the article in great length and concludes that the importers should be wary in the matter of American products, because a chemical study of the new egg, based upon the Post, description, siiows it to be rank poison. " The wooden haras and nutmegs sent from New England," says the angry Kreuzzeituny, " are still fresh in memory, and now the Americans boldy impose upon the world a counterfeit egg.?Boston Advertiser.

The San Francisco Call says: The latest local story of the difficulties that can and will he surmounted by true love is that in which Captain J. E. Lennan, a hold sea captain, well known in Alaska waters, and Miss Annie B. Bunster. daughter of A. Bunster, M. P., of Victoria, are the interested parlies. The iroiirxr ].idw wlni is inst. nut nf hprfpi-ns was residing in this city with friends for the purpose of securing the benefit of the nigh chiss educational institutions of San Francisco, v lien she was met by thelfeallr.nt captain. When the captain next saw the lady he proposed, was accepted, and then he sought the father. lie saw him, but soon left the house, being reminded that lie was nothing but a " common sailor," and should not aspire to an M. P.'s daughter. Such a rebuke did not, however, very lon<j retard the lovers, but rather Iiasteneu the consummation of their affections. A license was procured, the services of the Rev. W. L. Githens, of the Church of the Advent, were secured, and the twain were made one. Next day the Hon. A. Bunster was in town, but he had come too late to arrest what he had feared. He at once waited upon the reverend clergyman and demanded by what auAt *__ 1 _ t* J it.. uionty ne penormeu me ceremony, as the lady was not of age. Mr. Githens replied that he was not acquainted with the circumstances of the case; Captain Lennan, attended by a gentleman in good business standing, had requested his aid; the lady was attended by several highly respectable lady friends, was twenty-one years, and therefore over age, and to hira everything was regular. " But I don't recognize vour laws," said the M. P. " While in tire United States you must," said the minister. Seeing that the clergyman was not at faultthat he could hot quarrel with the laws ?Mr. Bunster then regretted that he had ! ever let his daughter leave home. Yielding at last to the unalterable, it is said 1 Mr. Bunster blessed the young couple with a very bad grace. The following Wednesday Captain Lennan again sailed for Alaska, leaving his "bride in a very 1 comfortable home on Geary street. Mad Cleat Through. It is related that Gen.

This appeared to make no further impression upon him than that indicated by a contemptuous "sniff,1' but as the real import ofthe letter began to appear his whole manner changed, and he abstractedly dipped the spoon into a bowl of mustard, which sat upon the table, and stirred it in the coffee. This he repealed until by the time the reading of the letter was .finished the contents of the mustard bowl were exhausted. Without saying a word, and to Bliss' astonishment and horror, he raised the cup to his lips and gulped down the whole abominable compound. He then broke into an excited and profane harangue, consigning to everlasting infamy every one concerned in the proposed depletion of his forces, and only cejising when his speech was overtaken by a paroxism of stuttering, which, with him, usually followed a violent outbreak of temper. The colonel felt sure that from the amou nt of mustard he had swallowed, combined with the intelli. ^ence he had received, it would intallinothing uncommon UC Ulal 1UOTT"-TTf-"?m..l nito^ 11 JiWm 1 T con vmced, have had no more clte7T->?^-n_ him than upon the stomach of a Muliridates."

A Thief in a Chest. A young girl named Katie De Roy, who was arrested in Philadelphia on suspicion of robbing a house some time before, told a most extraordinary story. She entered the cellar of the house, where she left her i-hoes, and went up to the girl's room. The servant saw her crawling beneath a bed and caused an alarm. The room was searched, but the, intruder could not be found. There was an old chest in the room, but no one thought of looking into it. Yet the strange thief was there, and there she remained without food or water for thirty hours. There was sickness in the house, and everybody in the house was awake all night. The next night, however, everybody slept soundlv, and the young thief ransacked the whole house and carried off some change from the gentleman's pocket. She let a confederate into the house, but as she refused to let him carry off the silver he lett without much booty. She was neatly dressed and a pretty figure, though without much intelligence in her face. She was from Reading, and had only been two months in the city. Iler committal to prison followed to answer for the robbery.

Inability of tbe stomach to act upon the food is productive of serious and speedy mischief to the entire bodily economy. The circulation languishes and grows poor; leanness, pallor, and a loss of muscular and organic power supervene; but, worse than this, the functions associated with and dependent upon digestion, such as evacuation and the secretion of bile, grow irregular, and the organs whose business it is to discharge those functions become badly disordered. This disastrous state ol things i9 more readily end thoroughly rectified with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than any known medicinal agenr,. The stomach being invigorated, the lilc-giving principles of the blood are increased, the systom properly nourished, leanness and debility overcome, and the bowels and liver thoroughly and promptly regulated. A cough, cold or sore throat requires immediate attention, as neglect oftentimes results in some incurable lung disease. "Brown's Bronchial Troches" will almost ihvariablygive roiiot.
