WITH THE TURKS. Wha' n War CvirccipoDdrnt Saw on n Tnrki*h Train?The Wild ZeibeckM UeMoribed. A war correspondent traveling on a train in Bulgaria describes some of his fellow-passengers in the following vigorous and graphic language: Arrived at the station, I found the 1 Varna train already in and the platform crowded with the usual picturesque throng of soldiers, Bashi-Bazouks and Circassians, which make a Turkish railway station in these warlike times a study for a painter. The train, which was of great length, and drawn by two powerful engines, was crammed from end to end with a regiment of Zeibecks, or Asiatic irregulars, the same gentlemen whose very irregular conduct at Constantinople and then at Varna has resulted in their being shipped off as A CURIOUS INDUSTRY. A Worm Farm nt Nottingham, England? How Worms are Collected and Raised for the .MarKet. When at Nottingham a few clays ago, I was much pleased at the discovery of an entirely new industry, namely, the rearing and education of worms for the j purposes of anglers. Mr. Wells, fishing- i tackle maker, of Sussex street, Notting- i ham, ourries on a business and trade in worms. He has several people in his employ who collect worms every favorable night during the year. He sells the following kinds of worms, namely, the lob or dew worm, th?i cockspur and the ring-tailed brandling. In dry weather worms are scarce; the men have to water the ground for them. In wet weather j the worms are better and heavier. They j are caught in the meadows and pasture i lands in the neighborhood; the supply is not failing. The worms are sold by the thousand or the quart. In a warm, moist night from two to six thousand worms are brought in by the collectors. Some people can collect worms much better than others. The worms are very cunning, and are apt to pop back into their holes if the person treads heavily. When the worms are brought in, Mr. Wells at once begins his training opera- j tions by placing them in properly selected moss. Stag's horn moss will not do at all, it is too harsh. Grass is bad. Field moss is the best. The worms are ? ? A Ak/* f a ennn * A f rncli _ far away as possible?to the banks of j the Danube, at JRutschuk, where they i will have ample chance of exercising their peculiar talents in the pillaging of deserted houses or in marauding expeditions into Wallacliia. At Sheitanjik, the next station to Shumla, where a halt of half an hour enabled the passengers to get some breakfast the Zeibecks poured out of the carriages by hundreds, and I was able to study them at my ease. Great, strapping, muscular fellows they were, clothed in all the colors of the rainbow, aud with complexions varying from a , ligfct brown, not deeper than auburn, to ; a coal black. It is by his head and legs that the Zeibock is to be distinguished ; from his Mussulman kinsmen in Europe. ' Although since their arrival in the coun- j try many of them have adopted the fez j alone as headdress, a large proportion still rctaiu the extraordinary coiffure in I which they seem to delight. .It is a com- ! plicated top hamper of turbans and ' haudkerch iefs wound round and twisted ! in many cunning and rakish folds and piled up in a pyramid, on the apex of which, quite clear of the head, is placed a fez, with a tassel reaching to the * shoulder. One huge dandy, a man of herculean proportions, in addition to the flowing tassel of his fez, had suspended from the pyramid a fringe of gay colored stuff, which dangled about liis ears and . rouud his neck. It was a headdress worthy of?and indeed very suggestive of?a red Indian chief. As to his legs, the Zeibeck is also remarkable. He wears short, baggy breeches, ending j abovo the knee, which is left bare; from below the knee to the ankle Irs Sturdy limbs are encased in erreaves of cloth. embroidered and worked in fanciful colors; bis feat, innocent of covering, are protected by stout slippers. In their broad sashes the Zeibecks carry a whole arsenal of weapons ; i Bwords, long and short, straight and curved, with curious guardless hilts, sometimes beautifully inlaid or carved; j daggers and knives, with sheaths of em- j lx>ssed silver; quaint flintlock pistols, 1 with handles ?f ivory and damascened locks and barrels. Add.to these a long gun, slung at the back, and you have a Zeibeck in his war paint He has about him the means of putting to death by distinct and separate methods a dozen men; but as his range of smooth bore flintlock firearms and short swords is not adapted to modern European warfare, he j is, so they say, U be armed and drilled | at Rustchuk like the rest of the army of the Sultan, and instead of carrying the lives of many " Muscovs" innis sash he is to carry them neatly packed away under the spiral spring of a Winchester rifle. But, whether armed with a blunderbuss or r jpeater, the Zeibeck is said to be a desperate fighter, absolutely ignorant of the meaning of the word fear. The words, "Biler pipe bnst," shouted from the engine, probably did not con- , vey much idea to our Asiatic friends, but the explanation seems satisfactory, for theheads went in as the train backed rapidly down the incline and again drew up at Sheitanjik, where we had to wait two mortal hours while the damaged pipe was replaced or mended. The train was emptied again-and the Zeibecks scat- j tcred over the fields around the station, or squatted patiently about the platform. , The European passengers by way of beguiling time began another breakfast, much to the f^touishment of their Orieutal fellow travelers who gazed in wonder through the window. Never touching wine or strong drink, and subsisting for days and weeks together upon bread and water, these absteminous,self- , denying people might well marvel at the j capacity of the Giaours. Before the j damaged engine was ready for work again the sun had set and "the hour of prayer had arrived. Along the entire leugth of the platform, with one accord, the Zeibecks ranged themselves in line. Facing toward the Holy City (Mecca), and devoutly putting off their shoes, * they made their evening prayer. It was i a most striking sight. A hundred pairs of hands were raised simultaneously in adoration, a hundred foreheads touched the ground together. Bristling with ; weapons and gay with all the picturesque ; variety of Eastern costume, the long line of pious warriors stood, knelt and was prostrated. It was the strangest 4 4 church parade" I had ever seen. La Tlah il Allah ve Mohammed reoul* Ait l it mi i i i. n _ i i si ruin.? j.aere is no vjou. out vrou, una Mohammed is the right of God." Onee more we were translated into the Middle Ages. Just as a robber baroD of old would bnru his neighbor's castle, carry off his wife and then found a chantrey, so these Mussulman freebooters of today will pillage a house, 44 find" a purse, and then put off their 6hoes and pray. ? Exercise and Occupation. Exercise for the body, occupation for the mind?there are the grand constituents of health and happiness, the cardinal points upon which everything turns. Motion seems to be a greater preserving principle of nature, to which even inanimate things are subject; for the wind, the waves, the earth itself are restless, and the waving of trees, shrubs and flowers is known to be an essential part of their economy. A fixed rule of taking . several hours of exercise every day, if ! }>os8ible in the open a;r, if not, under cover, will be almost certain to secure oue exemption from disease, as well as from the attacks of low spirits, or ennui, that monster who is ever wavlaying the .v. i n nm 'u.A ? iiuii aau IUUUICUI, 1 muw uut u dduuo and the giant dies." Low spirits can't exist in the atmosphere of bodily and mental activity. Farming by Wholesale. The Taopi farm in Mower county, Minn., is on the line of the C., M. and St. P. R. R. It extends three miles one way by two and three-fourths the other. Tue crops raised this season were : 2,250 acres of wheat, 000 acres of oats. 100 of corn, twenty of potatoes, and 200 of timothy. Thirty pairs of horses and mules an average of twenty-five men are employed throughout the season, and during harvest nearly double the number. The farm is subdivided into tracts of two miles in length by one in width, and at the commencement of the plowing, four furrows around a track, making I twenty-four miles, constitutes a day's worji put Jli.lU liiC U1UOO IV OWlUi 4.x. 11VOUcaught; worm is very delicate and tender, and easily breaks up when put on the hook. When a worm is properly educated he is as tough as a bit of india rubber, and behaves as a worm should when put on a hook. The way to test a worm is to take him up and pass the linger gently down the length of him. If anything comes out of him he is not fit, and is put back for further training. The meaning of this is that the wild worms contain, more or less, food undergoing digestion. When put into the moss this food disappears. The moss in some way fivcilitaies this operation, but I cannot quite see how this is, unless the worms disgorge all their former food, and practically become very little else than skin. The keeping of worms depends very much upon the weather. They will not keep well above a week, Mr. Wells has a sypjiy of worms ready for his customers all the year round. He goes over his moss very frequently, picking out the mauled and mashed worms, and only sending to market the plump and healthy ones, which are packed up for market in moss; the bags used are of light canvas. Not only does Mr. Wells collect worms, but he also breeds them in considerable quantities. In his garden is a special heap made of vegetable matter, expressly for the purpose of breeding worms. I shall not, of course, say what substance for worm-breeding is most favorable; this is a professional secret. On turning the heap over where the worms are bred, it was very interesting to see the worms in various stages of growth. Mr. Wells knows from experience pretty well what the age of a worm is. I had the pleasure of pointing out to him the eggs of the worm. These are about three lines long, and somewhat oval. They had a sort of lid at each end, which opens when the young are liberated. I believe that two young are sometimes produced from the same egg. The business of worm selling has been going on some ten years and is gradu any increasing.?rramc isucKiana, in Land and Water. v Where Lightning Strikes. To reassure the timid and nervous some calculations and directions for security, which, from the frequent occurrence and unusual severity of thunder storms, might not be unacceptable to some, are given. There are seventy thousand chances to one agaiust an individual's being killed in this way in the whole year. But as there are perhaps ten of these storms in a season, the chances of being killed are as 700,000 to one in any one storm. At the worst, there seems to be a half a million chances against a timid lady's having her terrors realized, according to the doctrine of chances. If she lies down in her fright, as she is likely to do, on either a feather bed or hair mattress, these chances in her favor are multiplied to at least a million. Another consolation is that she has little to apprehend from a flash of lightning which she has leisure to see. As light travels 227,260 miles in a second, and lightning only 1,142 feet in the same time, you may easily compute the distance of the electric discharge. If 4.62 seconds or six beats of the pulse elapse between the lightning and the thunder, the discharge is a mile off. To guard against possible danger on its near approach you may insulate your bed or chair by putting their legs on glass. Feathers and hair itfford great security. Therms also less danger after the rain has begun to fall copiously than before, because a moist atmosphere serves as a conductor for the electric fluid, diffusing it and conveying it to the earth. A man wlio is wet, being a better conductor than a tree which cannot be so thoroughly wetted, ought not to stand under one, and animals, on account of ' their bodies, are always better conductors than trees. But though wrong to stand near a tree, you will be very safe a little beyond the extent of its branches ?a position which ought to be chosen, as the higher object will take the lightning first?or you might stand on dry wood, wool or silk. The middle of a room is safer than near a partition, and this than near an exterior wall. A building is a better protection than a tree ; bui a barn or stable containing wet grain or hav is worse than an open field. Sitting on horseback or in a carriage is dangerous.? Worcester Gazette.

During ft recent visit to the Philadelphia Zoological Garden we witnessed an amusing incident illustrative of Young America's love for adventure says a correspondent. In the rear of the lion and tiger house large cages are constructed, where the animals come out at pleasure to sun themselves. On this occasion, as we stood admiring two fine specimens stretched at full length on the sandy floor, one so near the bars that its tail extended through, and lay on the grass outside, a boy approached, in advauce of his mother and sister, and, no sooner did he see the lion than an idea seemed to strike him, for with one bound, and before his mother could stop him, he was over the low rails, and quickly approaching the lion, sat down on its tail. But he had not long to sit, for in a twinkling the lion sprang to its feet and made for the boy, who barely escaped a stroke of the powerful paw, by turning a back sumersault. The mother stood speechless, as the boy ran shouting, "Well, I don't care. I'll have it to say I sat on a lion's tail." P> rnvian Syrnp vs. sironoiir imnw. It has been the desideratum with the medical profession to prepare a preparation of iron less objectionable than any of those now in use, which often procure unfavorable effects upon the system, especially when prepared with alcoholic fluids. In many cases of debility and convalescence from disease, where a tonic is indicated, wine, brandy, porter, etc., have,"been recommended ; but these are of doubtful efficacv, to say the least. Alcohol is never digested, is ranged among the diffusible stimuli, and is incapable of affording nutrition. It creates generally an unnatural excitement and derangement of the circulation, irritating the whole system by preventing the blood from losing its carbon. Again, how difficult it is to obtain an article approaching to purity, almost all the wines, brandies, porters, etc., being more or less adulterated. Such being the case with regard to the spirituous preparations of iron, and the alcoholic drinks, of which any ono can satisfy himself by investigating the subject, an opportunity is now presented in the Peruvian Syrup, for the trial of an article in general practice, which has the very strongest recommendations from medical and scientific men of the highest character?a preparation which so happily combines the protoxide of iron with the other constituent parts that the effects incident to the use of iron salts are entirely obviated. For all cases iu which iron or any tonic is needed, this preparation is confidently believed to be far superior t<* any other. It seems to purify the very fountain of health.
