? aystersone Metamnorphogte, though there is an ancient maxim the 6feot that exchange is no rob . , the adage is obviously intended be understood with several Impor at limitations. To interpret It in the tyie adopted on some of the Russian ajllways is to altogether deprive it of its irtuo, and reduce it to the level of a giece of unkind irony. We learn that the passenger's luggage on the line rom Rostof to Platjosk is very fre 'quently dealt with in a manner of which its owners strongly disapprove, .nd which seems to Implicate the Rus sIan railway ofilelals in the charge of something more than mere carelessness. 'he persons-a captain in the hussars and a merchant traveling with some valuable notes among his luggage Were bound for the baths at Platjosk, and had duly received tickets, accord Ing to the continental system, for their belongings. On arriving at the des. tination the tickets were produced, and they were offered soine wooden cases with corresponding labels upon them. Tie cases looked very nice, but they ,were by no means the sanme articles with which the travellers had started; and the holders of the tickets at once complained to the station-minaster. The observation of the latter was character, istie, to say the least oi it. "i f these are not your boxes, then It's a hundred to one that they arc full of cucumbers." To the inquiry of the astonished passen gers, "How do you know that Y" this worthy then explained that a similar mistake had often occured before, and that in all cases time substituted trunks had been found to contain large quan titles of this useful vegetable. The boxes -were then opened, atid the pre diction of the station-master was coni pletely verified. Time cucumbero were, no doubt, more valuable than bricks, which in similar circumistances are oc casionally found to be the sole cohtents of the exchanged luggage. But the conl sumption of them, evel, 11 they .should prove to be unusually easy of' digestion will hardly compensato either the iner chant or the captain of hissars lor- the loss of their wardrobe and personal effects. That, however, Is tihe only Con solation they are at all ilkely to receive, and it is to be hoped that the diet Ire scribed for them at the buts does not., like that at Ilambniurg, preclude con suiptioni of raw fruits and raw vege tables.

AGRIOULTURE. SMuT IN WHAT.-SmUt. on grain Is a fungus plant that has seeds or spores from which it Is propagated. It Is de. pendent upon the sap of other plants for its support. There are many spe cies of smut, some of which have been studied very carefully, and their habits are well known, while the history of others Is yet quite obscure. Many species can be examined only under powerful microscopes. Smut, mildew and mold are all fungus plants. The spores, when mature, may float long distances in the air; indeed it is rarely that they are not floating in all air of ordinary temperature. Wheat seed, soaked in brine for several hours, is usually freed from its smut spores. "Blue stone" is also used for the same purpose, and some ianmers claim that clear water is equally effileaclous in leaning grain from smut spores. We have practised soaking a few hours in brine with apparent success. When smut takes poseessiOln pf a living plant, It extends itself by throwing out thread like, dark colored roots among the tis suies of the plant, and through which it draws the sap which is thus diverted from its natural channels and becomes the feeder of tho parasite instead. Smut, in some of its forniis, is found over in large portion of the globe, but it is propagated, like other plants, by seeds, it follows wherever the plants upon which it naturally feods are iII truduced. Onion smut, is mtich more troublesome on land that has been Infes ted by it in yearB past. A uew piece of land, in some localities, seems the only means of avoiding loss of the onion erop by this fungus. The same is pro ba bly true to a limited extent regarding smut peculiar to wheat anti other grains, More experiments of an exAct character are needed for settling tliese points. The spores are, undoubtedly, preserved both on the seed grain and in the soil. sinut is of no value as food. Several years ago somei One in vented a cure for this fungus. It was said at the time it was caused by water staiding in the head of the wheatplant during hot. sultry weather. Toobviate this difliculty and remove the cause, it was reccomniended that a light rope be drawn across the standing grain by a couple of men walking through it at a convenien, diititice apart. As the rope passed over tihe grain it was agita ted, aid the drops of moisture tell to the ground. We iever had any sim:tty wheat. We reproduce the iteum now, so thalt those wio desiie can try it. flow 'ro TuAr STAan TREs.-A starved tree, like a starved man, must be fed a little at. a time. All the fune tlIons are weak ill such a condition, and nust be strengthened by exercise. By degrees tie old wood should be replaced withi new growth. Large limbs muist nolt be removed until there is a return of vigor. it is liKe amputating a hu man limb, and cani only be done safely when there is )iyIiClal Strength enough to bear the sho.-k. It will take several seasons to bring about the process of renewal, but me101antim1e the old trees will bear more fruit.; utntil they will astonish the owner with tile crops they yield.

To KxP A ROOM COOL.-We read in a schntitlc Journal: "There is a method, which I have adopted in my own house. to cool the t'emperature of any room during hot weather, and that is, to hanRg a sheet or a blanket down outside the windows upon whlich the sun May be .hining. Thilis sheet is wet, and the evaporation of the water produces i deliciously cool apartment. The sheet is kept danp by having a vessel filled with water above the top of it outside, tnd a piece of iannel arranged to form i alphon and touching several portions af the shieet. The water gradually millpties out of the vessel, and may be replenished if necessary. The window is, of enurse, open. P. Is strange that. ;o sim1-10 and inexp naive a method hi a lot found favor here, m-ore especially in sick rooms. A cylindrical-shaped in vessel, with some very flne holes Ixed over the window, would easily iupply the water."

For the purpose of breaking coal in ie mines, another kind of apparatus as just been introduced, which con lets of an expandIng plug, of a oylin real form, by means of hydraulic ressure. This plug is composed of two alves, with a little wedgeshaped space etween them, being jointed at the end ) the extremity of a hydraulic Cylin or; these receive between themd a redge-shaped extension of the hydrau e ram or plunger, fitting exactly the Ildest part of the wedge-shaped space ad extending about half its length ,hen the ram is withdrawn into the ydraulio cylinder. When the pres. ire is applied to the ram, the wedge ke, extension is driven further along ie space between the two halves of 10 plug, which are forced apart, so sat the plug Is expanded in one direc on beyond its original diameter. As sual, the coal is undercut in the ordi ary way, when a hole is drilled in the ce of it, corresponding to the size of te plug in its contracted form, into hich is inserted the plug, so that the cpantilling force will be exerted into a %rtical direction, and, the hydraulle )wer being applied, the wedge is driv I between the parts of the plug, ex knilng the latter until the mass is rought down.

The discovery was made, some time 1o, that crude ammonia .water--or gas luor, as it is called-acts with great e 'omfptneas in extinguishing tire in a b r distillery. It Is now I econmended, utilizing the iml)ortant fact in ques yn, that owners of cotton mills and of r works, varnish factories, etc., ould have on their premises a stock about 1,000 gallons of this gas liquor [red in a tank or old boiler, mounted )ol brickwork, and at such an alti de as to give pressure enough for a iod jet service fi case of dire. The adiness-it is urged-with which a t of this liquor, thrown into a burn g room, would act, the space being so iclosed, when the action Is so power .1 in a comparatively open space, and ith such a refractory substance as mrning pitchi, must be obvious. It is sunmed, too, that tile extinguishing nyer of the liquidl would be increas Ily called forth by a more intensely >t fire-for, in this ease, in all proba lity, the ammonia would be decom )sed, and the generated hydrogen and trogen gases wvouldl help to swell the >lumne of .non--supp~orting gas, displac g the air, and so choking out the ( >mbuistion.
