AGRICULTURE. Snuri H11'IUSiANtDRY IN TixAS.-In 11 lustration of the rapidity with which sheep husbandry Is advancing In Texas Sheep llusbandry in the Sonth says that d uring the year 1800 San Antonio raised but 000,000 pounds of wool. in 1877 the amount received was 2,000,000 poundg. Tilis year there will be ship ped 6,500,000 pounds. John L. Hayes, in an address before the National Con gress at New Haven, Ct., touchilng up on the subject of extended wool-raislug in Texas, said that with its nearly 4,000,000 head of sheep, only two coun ties (Nueces and Starr) are occupied, and tiere are 80,000,000 of land still un located. if two acres are required for one sheep-the usual estlinates'--and ouly half the land is fitted for sheep culture, there are still enough unocci pied lands to support 20,000,000. In Texas is found a climate so mild that shIe) will thrive with almost nopehelter at all. Pasturage is afrorded through out the whole year by the Indigenous, perennial mesquite grasses. Enigra Ion and sheep are pouring in from the Northern States and from California and skilled sliepherds are included from Europe and even Australia. The wool-growers of Western Texas are be coming well versed in the matter of handling their flocks on the range and tie fleeces at shearing tite. They are also bestowing more attention on the character of the breed. Good sheep are in demand. Graded flock in which the merino is crossed with the Mexican sheep of the Cliourro race are frequent. 'i'la race is distinguished for its robust. temperament, the facility with whileh it. is nourished, its resistance to hunger and storms, and the rapidity with which its ewes beiig crossed witi pure merinos improves the stock. A plea for 4' Ig wools in place of 1lie wools has recenily been made in t-he Sani An tonio Express, which says of the long wools, "'hcy aire liardier, betier feed ers, and being greater in size cnn I ravel with less fatigue; they are also more prolific niid better mothers 1111d thelr lainmbs aire stronger.

AMad Hlorse. A renmrkable inci lent oc curretd re enty, ab~out live miles from Pottstown Pennsylvania, on the D~enton road. Se bastiain Schafer atnd a young man In his emnpioy, nalinied James1C K inerd hand started from home to the timber to get a load of wood. S.chafer w-is driv'ing the team and Kinerd, was ridIng an ex-. tra horse with hiarness on. Wh len Schafer had drivent about half a mile from home, lie saw a large bay horse, about twenty steps from the road biting at One of his hInd feet. Th'le horse caine out on the road, and was soon followed by a dog that had followed the wagon ftrom hotme. At the sight of the dog the horse started at full slpeed down the road in the dlrect ion of the wagon. Shafer tu rned the -team off thle road, thinking the hiorse would pass5 on, but instead it spranig on the wvagon, and struck him with his fore feet, knockitng him fiat on his back, at tIre satme time 9 ~ grabbing himn on the right shouldor. Th'!e horse stood nearly over him and rode nearly two hundred yards~h, biting at him, and all the time squeakinig andl kicking. Shafer kicked the infu~riated batadfoitght It with his flits, but it succeeded In biting him several times. 1'lnally Schafer rolled off the wagon, stoppedI his team and struck the horse several blowsa with a pole he found In the road. Kinord ran tip and the two succeeded in beating the horse off' the wvagon, but as it fell off hIs h11nd( feet got hung in the front hounds of the wagon, and several minutes passed be. fore they got it released from that po sition, all of which time Shafeor beat it j over the head with a single-tree.

SC1ENTIFIC. Aniline Dyes.-There has been at var lous tWmes much discussion on what may be termed the sanitary aspect of the aniline dyes. Although it may be at first difilctlt to see In what way the color of anl article of costume can pos sibly ailect health, yet the relation of the one to the other Is not so remote as mIght. be antliipated. Socks, stockings and gloves are worn next to the skin, an(d polsonous matter may thus be brought into the system; even the very wear and tear of ordinary costumes, In the event of the color not being of a very firmly adherent nature, results in a portion of coloring matter being lib crated In the form of a fine dust, and thus inhaled by the lungs. In France, stringent measures have had to be adopted to prevent the artificial 'colora tiou of cheap wines with "1 fuchmine.'' Recent experinents have now be yond doubt established that aniline dyes, at least the reds and blues, are in their pulre condition comlparatively In urt, and that the Ill eflects which have been sometimes attributed to the use of these dyes are traceable, not to the pure colorIng matters theniselves, but to I-races of arsenic which they contained, and whlich arose from Inefflicient purill cation subsequent to manufacture. Enterprishig scientists may always be found w,'ho are willing to become mar tyrs for selence or for notoriety, anld the present Imiuiry has had its self sacrifieng hero In the form of Herr Seldler of' Rega, who administered to himself three-tiuarters of a grain of mail ine red every morning for a period of Jive weeks, without, any ill effects. When it. is pointed out that a single grain of aniline red is sufllclent to Iim part. it good pink color to il fteen gallons' of' alcohol, it. woulld be necessary to drihk an eiormous I uantity of artilicial colored wine in order to equal a single morning performance of herr Seldier. So fati I lite (ytlestioll is praetieblly settled, the only remiaining dilliculty being our inbility to aiscerlitin whether pure or mupure colorming mIateill has been used in any prehased article; and it will therefore he better, as a simple matter of precutitlon. to he on our guard agailnst the idiscriminate use of aniline dyes for coloring plrposes.

There Ia a weli-k nowta story of a mur derer being discove~red by a dog tlyinig at lis throat and bearing him to the gronund, when lie confessed that he had murdered the animal's miaster. The story Is matched by one told In Land and Water of Nelson, a black spaniel. One night the dog was missing from hIs favorite corner, and nothing for several weeks could be heard of him, notwith2 standing the most searchiig inquiries. After the faily had retired to rest, one miserably winter nighit,the well-known bark of old Neslson was heard at the door, Ile was soon ad mitted to his cozy quarters, supplied wIth food, which lhe ate wvith many a grateftul wag of la tail, and looked a mere bag of bones in comparison with hibs former self, be sIdes being very lame, A neighbor came in and iniquibred if Nilson had ar rived, as he met hIm on the previous day at Macchesfld, eighteen miles from M neliestor. Th'ie dITer of the mail cart had also seen him at Darby, and gave hIm a feed of mIlk and oat-cake, but'eould niot induce Nelson to remain with him or with the hostler of the inn where lhe baited. Some timeafter the dog came home, the owner of Nelson called at a public house in the neigh borhood, having wIth him the four footed and faithful friend and compan ion. A sturdy, surly-lookIng man stood at the bar, uand to the surprise and alarm of everybody, Nelson sprang at thethroat of the stranger, striking hisa teeth through the waiscoat, and hold lng on with the utmost thnacity. With a strong efiort, Nelson's o'wner released thes man, who- eonftessed there and then that the cause of the dog's anger aros'e fronm the fact that "lie WAs the man who stole hIm, took him tot London'by the canal-boat, 'where lie sold him and left hi1m." ,The det must, therefore, have traveled from London to Manohes-+ DOMESTIC. RECIPc s FOR WASnINO FLUIDS. First-Take one pound sal soda; one half pound unslacked line; five quarts rain water; put in an iron vessel and simmer till the soda dissolves; lot it settle till clear, then drain ofl. Put white clothes to soak, the night before washing, in boiling rain water. without rubbing in cold water, in which put a spoonful of fluid for every pall of water; boll half an i our, tho wash and rinse as usual. Second - One pound of potash, one ounce salts of tartar, one ounce muriate of ammonia. Dissolve the potash in two quarts of hot water, add the other ingredients, and two quarts more hot water. When cool put in a Jug or glass fruit Jars. To use it put one teacup of the flid to three iails of water, and add a teacup of good soft soap (or its equivalent of hard soap shaved fine). Place the least-solled clothes in the boiler in cold water, with the fluid and soap, and boll fifteen or twenty minutes after they begin to boll-this without pre vious rubbing. Put the remaining clothes in a tub, with just water enough to thoroughly wet them, in which put a little fluid; soap each article as it Is placed In the tub. When tile first clothes are removed from the boiler lift in those from the tub without wringiag. Afrer boiling wa8h in warm water, using as little soap as possible; rinse and hang. Third.-Half t )ound of sal soda, quarter of a pound of borax, dissolved in one gallon of hot soft water; let it settle; pour off in bottles. One gill of this mixture with a pint soft soap, or half a bar of goa) dissolved In hot water, is enough for a wvashing. Fourth-Pour twelve quarts of soft bolling water on two and one-half pounds of unslacked lime; dissolve flive pounds sal soda in twelve quarts soft hot water; thon' mix, and let them remain from twelve to twenty-four hours; pour offi all the clear fl1uid, he Ing careful not to allow 111y of thesed ment to run off; boll three and one-half pounds clean grease and three or four otnces of rosin in the above lye till the grease disappears; pour intt a box, and let it stand a day to stiffen, and then cut in bars. It Is well to lt tihe lime In all the water, and then add the soda. After pouring oil tile Iltuid, and two or three gallons of water and let it stand with the lime and soda dregs a day or two. This makes an excellent wasihing fluid to boll or soak clothes Iin, with oae pint in a boiler of water. Costs fifty cents.

It is salid that there is a clock in the Gulldhall Museum, London, of which thle moltive power is hydrogen gas, gen erated by the action of diluted sulphulr ic on a ball of zinc. Tihe clock itself resenmbles a lai ge colered glass cylhider without anly cover, and about half full of sulphuric acid. Floating on the top of this acid is a glass boil, and the gas generated forces forward this concave receiver until It nearly reaches the top of the cylinder, whenl, by the action of a delicate lever, t wo valves become slm ulttaneously opened. One of these al lows the gas to escape, thereby causing tile receiver to decenld'and the other permits a fresh bail of sIno to fall into thle acid.* The same':operation is repeat edh as lon~g as the materials for making the gas are suppfied, and this is effect ed without winding or manipulating of any kind. The dial plate is fixed to the front of the cylinder, and commui-~l cates by wheels, etc,., with a small glass perpendicular shaft, which rises with the receiver and sets tile wheels in motion. -Thell Lock Haiven (Pa.) 1?epubleian says the amount of loge to be sawed by lumbermen at that place the present season will foot up nearly 40,000,000 feet. __________ A LsmlNo JOKE.-A promhinent phy sichan os Pitt4rgh said jokinugly to a lady patient who wais coilpaini ng of her continuedh ill he-dh.h, an dof his in. ability to cure lher, "try flop Hitters I" 'rue lady tolok It in earnest aind used the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent health.
