Tho Shells of Pompeit.-Dr. Nicola
Tlberl an excellent naturalist living
at Rosina. close to the alto of .1Impell,
has receitly published a remarkable
and well written memoir onl the shells
found in the ruined city. The point of
view to which he directs attention is
very diflerent, from that taken by the
geologist, antiquary, artist, or archi
teet. lie treats of the shells found in
ruins, and which had served for food,
or had been used by the Pompolans for
ornament and other purposes. We
know from Athenmus and other anclent
authors the mollusca were thon relished
quite as much as they are at the present
day by the inhabitants of Italy. Dr.
Ti1>eri gives a list of all the shells
which he noticed .us Pompeian, belong
lug to no less than 44 species, with par
ltiulars of their relative abundance at
'omupell, as well as of their distribution
and economy. Some were of edible
kilnds, as the common oyster and mussel.
Others served to adorn fountains. Tie
Oriental pearl shell was represented by
a single valve only. But the ladies of
Pompepll seemed to have attached coin
siderable value to the cowry, as amulets
or charms to prevent sterility; and
among these shells were some of the
species from the Red bea and the Per
sian Gulf. A single speolmen of
another exotie shell must have been
kept for Its great beauty as an object of
curiosity. All tle shells used in the
ornamentation of fountains, live inI the
city and one in the suburbs, are of
species which tire still common in the
Gulf of Naples; and these shells are
separately distinguished and named.
.Ieiyht of Sorms.--Pro fessor Loomis,
in his investigations of tite )Iietno
mona of storms, has ascertalned
that atiospheroi disturbances during
storms do not generally extend more
than about a mile above the sea-1%;vol as
they pass over New England. Front
observations maude at the sea-level, as at
Portland, simlitaneously with obser
vat,ions at the k umintit of Mount Wash
In,oni, It Is found that during the pat
saige of storms the usual system of ciI
ciulatinig Wih'1d. does not in tihe majority
of iistanlces extend to a height. of six
thousand feet. The more violent the

' FARX AND GARDEN.
RESTORINO A WORNOUT OnWHAn.
This is a difilcult probleir to solve, If
farmert would only prevent their land
from being wornout, by using the sin
ple preservative imethods of growing
clover, using plaster and lime and plow
ing under clover-sod at least once iII
four or flive years, such requests as Lis
would never need to be imade. 'When
land is wormout nothing can restore it
but m'mnure and costly ltbor and time.
It Is the fablo of the killing of the goose
to get the golden eggs repeated. In
this case it might be well to plow the
ground and sow a bushel and a half of
buckwheat p)r nere. Ifany wood ashes
can be procured, or a bushel of' plaster
per acre, we would sow it on tire seed
ed ground. In September the buck
wheat will be fir blossom. Then we
would hitch a chain to the double tree
and tihe plow-beau, and with the loop
dragging In tile furrow, plow and turn
under the buckwheat and leave the
ground until the spring; then cross
plow and sow half a bushel of buck.
wheat per acre in May, and with
one peck of cloverseed per acre. Tire
clover will probable 'take,' and as soon
as the buckwheat Is ripe it should be
cut, leaving a high stubble, which will
still protect the clover. The clover
should be permitted to fa.ll on the
ground, and the next year should be
plowed under, and tile whole process
repeated; iarvesting tire buckwheat,
however. Tie next crop of clover
mar,.y be out for hay or pistirred. After
that orcllard grass seed may be sown.
FAnIMMls' 110MES.-It is worthy of
much thought and attention on the part
of the farmers to throw such influence
around their children as will attract
then to country life. This ain should
he well studied in winter, but should
not be forgotton at other times. It iOes
not require a heavy expenditure of
money. Intelligence with economy Is
better than Ignorance with waste.
First, the farmer's home and its 8tir
roundings should be made com)lete.
A n ornamental garden and neatly plant
ed dooryard should hold a promiient
place In making these prdvisions.
Vorkingmen's cottages should be eco
nomleal in tie long run, by allowing
hired men with families to board tient
selves, and prevent confusion iII hourles,
and avoid hard work by the women.
Foster in young people every rural
study. Hell) and encourage those who
like tire culture of flowers. Facilitate
experiments on the farm and in the
garden. Provide every aseistance to
those who inve a taste for naturtil sc
ence. A room should be secured as a
museum, whore insects, dried plarts,
minerals, fossils aid st, uffud birds may
be kept, and insect trailtoruationi wit
nessed arid where cieap philosophleal
and chemical apparatus mrIay be used.
Procure books to assist in all studies
connected with these objects. This is
tie wiay to make intelligent and useful
farmers, instead of Idlers, spendthrifts
and horse Jockeys.

WIT AND HUMOR.
Tim Ti(itIBLE CHILD. Of the late
lIskop Wilberforce this story I8 told,
)n one occasion, while staying In a
ountry house not many miles from
Vindsor, the daughter of his host, a
ittle girl of seven, suddenly broke out
iefore all the assembled company : '1
vant to 6ask you a question. lily lord ;
vill you answer me very, very truly ?"
he bishop smiled, took the child on
kis knee and said: 'Of course I will,
ny little dear, what Is It?' The Qhild
ooked gravely up at him, and let fall
lie following terrible qutotion : 'Why
locs every one call you 'Soap-Sal ?"
iroll can easily lim-iginle the feelings of
he company ; but the bishop was quite
qual to the occasion, and after having
ast a half-mocking and cynical glance
ound the room, replied simily: 'I
vill tell you, my darling. People call
ne 'Soapy Sai'n' because whenever I
,et into hot water, I always coie out
vith my hands clean.'.

On ninny of the Gerian and 1itglisll

%re now lighted by gas. instead of by
cnntile or oLIer methods hltheIto in
u1se. A very rich gas is extracted from,
oil, a"id placed In a light but strong re
meptacle beneath each car, atid this is
0on1su8ined in hiurners especially adapted
to the purpose. 'Tlie gas is so rich that
it btirner consumes, as the reports rep
resent, less than three-11(ths of a cubic
foot per hour, and gives a light eqtial
to that of a four-foot burner tiIng or
linary coal gas. Moreover, tile state
ment is n1ade that this gas can be and is
u'omilpressed to a denity of six atios
p)hares, which is not practicable with
the coini1non illuminating gas. By 1his
Inle"nns it is Possible for a car to carry,
without ian appreciablo additi)il to its
weight, a stock of gas sufficient for a
very long journey.
