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.

The Llano E staado, r staked plains,
lies on the extreine northwestern

The region, so barren and dreary, is
th'e home of tuhe coyote and the rattle

growna up with bramnble bushes, entang

dense and bristling that, even the

upon. it. Those who have seeni it, as
sure us that no coumntry ever looked

that it is nec'essasy to behold it with
one's own eyes in order to understand
that desolation whlehki can be brouighlt

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.

starved tree, like a starved man, must
be fed a little at. a time. All the fune

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

when there is )iyIiClal Strength enough
to bear the sho.-k. It will take several
seasons to bring about the process of

EVERYDODY likes sponge euke; few
however, can make a good sponge cake
without Using from seven to te.i eggs.
The recipe here given was never known
to , all, when a little care ha% been ex.
ercised in making and baking. It is
not only deliclious, but very nice to
look at on the table. It should be baked
in long narrow tins. Beat four eggs
v-ry light, yolks and whites together;
then beat in two cups of' while sugar
-granulated perferred, then one cup
of sifted flour, a ilttle at a time, then
another cu) of flour with which two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder have
been mixed; lastly, a small tea-cup of
hot water, almost boiling; do not put
i& all ink at one, but stir in a little at
a time. When making ihis for the first
time one Is almost cet Iain to he tempt
ed to put in a little more flour, the
dough Is so thin ; do not hesitate, or
your cake will be lost. It should be
baked in a moderately hot oven. If
there is any trouble about the top not
being smooth lay the cake on a pl)atter
down side up, and frost It. Lemon is
a delicate flavor for sponge cake. 'These
particulars are given for the benefit of
young housewives who, like Bella

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
