TAE ADVANTAOE OF HOUNLESS CAT .TLE.-At the exposition in Paris recent ly there was a prize of $500 for the best herd of cattle outside of France by one exhibitor. For this prize a herd of Angus polls took the first, a herd of Angus pollstook the second, and a herd of short-horns from England took the .third. It has been said by short-horn men that the best English herds were not represented there, but the fact Is. that Lady Pigot's herd that took the third premium was as well and fashion ably bred as any in England, and the show of short-horns was most excellent. As a still greater triumph there was a prize of $500 for the best beef producing group embracing animals from all 'countries, and the Angus polls were again the winners. On this class'there was a jury of 31 nembers and out of that number 24 were for the Angus and 7 for tWe short-horns. These are facts that may be taken as conclusive that the introduction of good representatives of this family into this country Is in no sense a doubtful experiment. As beet inakers they are certainly in quantity equal and in quality superior to our short-horns; as breeders they are more prolifie, and to withstand our wintry blasts, they are more hardy. With a cargo of hornless c'ittle for eithe- rail road or ocean travel, and whe-her for one mile or a thousand, the danger of accidents Is greatly reduced, the sufrer ings of the animals is greatly amellor ated, the facilities and convenience of the keepers are greatly iiiil)rovcd, the animals reach their destination, not fevered with sufferings and torn with the unwilling horns of their neighbors, but comparatively fresh and in good condition. There is a large perceitage here in favor of the polled cat-tie that the shipper will be prompt to recognize in the prices lie pays, and every iman with a heart will rejoice at so great an abatement of the cruelties we witness every day. SnVNESS AND TIMIDITY IN lioRsEs. In conminon horse langunge, these pro pensities are confounded one with the other, or else no proper or right dis tinction is made between them. A horse iay be timid without being shy, though he can hardly be said to be shy without being timid. Young horses in their breaking are timid, frightened at every strange object they see. They stand gazingand staring at objects they have not seen before, fearful to ap ) -oach them; but they do not run away from or shy at thei ; on the coi trary, the moment they are convinced there is nothing hu rtful in them, they refuse not to applroach, and even to trample upon thti. This the vhy horse will not do. lie cannot be persuaded to turn towards or even to look at the object lie shies at, much less to approth it. Timid horses, through usage and experience, get the better of their ti midity, and ii time become the very opposite to fearful.. But shy hiorses, unless worked down to fatigue and broken-spiritedness, rarely forget their old sins, The best way to treat them is to wor k. thet day by day, moderate ly, for hours together, taking no notice whatever of their shying trIeks, neither caressing nor chastising them, and on no account whatever endeavoring to turn their heads either towards or away from the objects shied at. Burr'ruin PACK iNG.-Pack in vessels which will impart no impurities to the butter. Fill within half an inch of the top. Place a thin cloth wholly over tl he butter. Over that pour cold brine US strong as can be mad e of hot water and1( the purest salt, or coven with a layer~ of line salt. Tihe whole process of making the butter, from drawing the minlk to tihe placing of the butter In pactkatges, should be hurried, as mil1k, cream, and butter are going to decay (every momnent wvhen eXilosed to the air, however puire It may be. Stuch butter is ready to keel) or to sell. If to be kept long before selling, surrounmd every package with coarse salt, b~y lacing Iit ini bo(xes prepared for thle p~urpose. Tihis p~rocess keeps tile butter cool and, hard, and free from suddl~en changes of air. When all these thlings itre attendi ed to promp~tly, and withl as much unmi formity as is under the power of man to control, there will be a near aipprioach to unifornity in color, richnless and purity, If tihe new beginner followvs these rules, and keeps doinig so, hue will soon command the highest figures. Cleanliness and~ common sense appllied from thme beginning to tile endi are amb solutely necessary to insure good but ter that will bring tihe highest prnice in market. QUmcx ixm A WVoon PaxsuuviiA'iv. M. Lostal a Frenchi railroad contractor, recoimumends quicklime as a prneserva tive for timber. He puts the sleep~ers *lito pits andl cover~s them with quick lime, which is slowly slaked with water. Timber for mines must be left for eight (lays before it Is completely Impregnat ed. It becomes extremely hard anid tough, and is Bald never to rot. Bcech wood prepared in the same manner, has been utsed in several ironworks for hammers and other~ tools, and is reputl ed to be as hard as iron, without the loss of the elasticity p~eculiar to it. Lime slaked In a solution of chloride of calcium is used at Strasburg as a fire proof and( weatherproof coating for wood.

Aluminiua Is the lightest of mkotals in use; It weighs no more than glass that is to say, one-fourth as heavy as silver, and about two-fifths more than water. Napoleon 111. had the eagles of the French Army standards made of alumilinium instead of sliver, wIth a re duction of three-quarters of weight for the same size. This.great lightness has determined its use in the construct ion of certain very delicate balances designed to register fractional weights. One knows in eirect that a balance is so much more sensative, all other things being equal, as the beam is the lighter; but a beam of brass or steel cannot be indeflnitely reduced without Injury to its strength and irinness. On the con trary with aluminflum we can have a beau at once light and Inflexible. Again as to the marked weights, these are generally of platina or of silver, and, as these metals are heavy, the weights representing the tenth or the one-hundredth part of a grain must be so minute that It is inconvenient to use them. It is hardly necessary to add that for this reason aluminium is bet ter for the purpose thain any other metal. Aluminum, also, can be beaten into the lintest foil, or drawn Into threads of various thickness, and the finest of great tenacity. flence arise a great number of applications for use. But that which gives it, perhaps, tihe greatest superiority over all other net als for economic purposes is that it Is aitmost unalterable, so tnt it is never affected by the oxygen of the atmnos phere, even at the highest temnperature. Sulphuretted hydrogen, which tar idahes silver, has no eflect on aluinmn lum. We see by this that, if alunin ium Is diflicult to decompose, if one can scarcely unite alumininum and oxygen, when once unitcd, it is not less diflicult to separate tmni, and therefore that alunminit tm is as dillicult to produce as to decoixposo. Oxygen is not the only substance that does not act upon alu minium; sulphur and its v'arious comn pounds produce on it no alteration. Artificial Ould.-Alloys of different materials in imitation of ,.)ld and sil ver, applicable as substitutes for these metals for oriamental purposes, have been produced by Messrs. Melirren & Co., of Marseilles. To make an alloy having tihe color and appearance of' gold, they place in a crucible, copper as pure as possible, platinumu, and tun gastlie acid in the proportions stated below. Whlen tihe metals are completely ielted they stir and granulate them by runninlug thei Into water containing 500 gramine.. of' slaked litne and 500 gramne,; of' carbonate of potash for every cubic metre of' water. This Mixture dissolved. in water, has the property of rendering the alloy purer. T'e granulated ietal is next collected, dried, and after remeliting in a crucible, a certain quantity of jlin1 gold is added. An allow is tis produced which, when run into ingots, presecnts tihe ap pearance of red gold of' the standaru 750-1000. The color of the alloy may be changed by varying the proportiots of' tihe differenl imetals. As Ilux borax acid, nitrate of soda, autm chloride of' sodiui, previously iieted together in equal prvportlons, are used. The pro portion of flux to be employed Is 25 grammes per kilogranmme of the alloy. The proportiotns employed by prefer einee for produclng an alloy or red gold are: Coppei, 800 grainmmmes; platinumil, 15; tungstlc acid, 10; and gold, 170 gramnmes. A New Thseury of Dew. - Professor Stockbridge, of the Amherst Agricul tural College, has been making some CXIerlinentsiitS s to thme origin of dcew, and has arrived at conclusionas -some what dIfferent from those generally ac cepted. It is usually held that dew Is the moistuje of the air condensed through contact with objects of a lower tempieratur'e, and that It does not form uniitil radilation has'reduced the temp era ture of the ear'th. Professor Stock. bridge asserts, however, that dew is the result of condensation by the air of' wvarmn vapor which rises from the soil, and lie embodies the' result of his ex perimednts in these prop~ositions: 1. Th'le vapor of' the soil is much warmer at night then time air, and would be con dlensed by it. 2. Vapor from the Boll is soon diffused and equalized it the whole atmosp~her'e, biut In the largest proper tionm when evaporation is taking place near the surface of the soil; and, other things being equal, plants nearest the earth have the most dew. 8. Daw un der hay-cocks, boards and lIke objects on the ground could receive it from no other source. Ornantentaj Glass.-A novel mode of producing glass objects of great beauty w as'lately described before the French Acatdenmy, where samnples of the art wvere shown anid attracetedl munch adlmlr atlon. Th'le newv procedure has beenm dlevised by M. M~onot, a Fremchm manu f'actumrer', andil consists essentially ini submitting time glass objects to be treated at a red heat to tihe action of coal gas. Th'le glass, it should prie imised, contains metallic oxide, whiichm, by the red ucing action of tihe gas is sep armated In thea body of the glass, in thme nmetallie state. Thumms the metals silver' and coplrar have been separatedl in the mass of' the vitreous substance itself, and1( reimarkably brilliant eff'ects are affirmemd to .be thus brought about.' Among the novel prmodlucts of this pro cess a beautiful imitation of aventuirine was exhibited. Thme Graa Cainal of Ohina. For six or eighit hundred years the Grand Canal, crossing the groat plain of Northern China, from Peking, it the north, to Hfangchow, in the south, his been the chief line of communication and commerce between the capital and - southern portions of the Ch inese ECm pire. The canal proper Is more than six hundred miles long, and, with its branches, is said to supply 2,000 miles of water-way, and the means for Irri gating and reclaiming many. tihousand square miles of thickly peopled Gun try. Dttring recernt years, however, the vast sums appropriated for the man agement and repair of time Grand:Canal haye been so largely absorbed by dis honest oflicials that the canal has be come practically unfit for commerce in many parts, while thme estimated cost of putting it in good condition Is so help lessly beyond the capacity of ani empire impoverished by war, famine and offli lal rapacity, that the ImperIil govern ment are seriously considering the pro priety of abandoning the canal entirely.

Sixth-Fold over the cakes in one roll, and with a very sharp knife cut through the roll at right angles, making line shreds. Shake them so as to divide them. They can be used in any clear soup, and should be introduced about twenty minutes before the soup Is ready for serving, and all cooked when the soupIs on to boll. If they must be kept they should be put away In a cool place. They are better when fresh. SPRAINS.-Firstr-Cold fomentations are useful in- sprains, but not until the active inflamation has subsided, and it is required to give tone and stren b to the part. The best way of app ying them is to put a thick bandage upon the part and keep pouring cold water over It. Second-Beat up an egg to a thick paste, with the salt spread on it on a. cloth and bind it on the part affected. Renew occasionally. Third Alcohol, one pint; oil of spike, one ounce; origanum, one ounce. Fourth -Tak oie teaspoonful of honey, the same of salt and the white of an egg; beat all well togethef for at least an hour-or two would be better. Let it stand an hour.
