'm Not reltax WL. On the eorner 0t thte public square in Kansas Oity, a nian has in operation a musole-testing machine, which is uperated by the aid of a sledge-hammer, with which the indlvidual who wishes to size up his muscles strikes a peg, whion operates upon a leaver anti oe vates a dial-board marked with nuin ers. On a reoe.At evening a big, red shirted man walked up, and atter sur veying the aachiire, expectorated over is 9it shoulder and oatually remarked that he "could knock the studling out of the machine" at one tell swoop. "A al the man who swallows a b4ef, I am'l" Ie jelled, and the spectatwrs shuddered. "1 am a bold, bad man I" ne continued. " on't somebody give me a whirl I" No one accepted the challenge. "-[ ant lately from the head waters of Bitter creek," went on the bad man, and asked the proprietor of the ma chine how much he would give me to "burst it the first kIck?" "I don't want It busted," replied the proprietor. "I can make a piece light on the Comique," screamedthe bad man, "and another piece descend at the junction; won't somebody please give me a show for my white alley I" A pale, thin, puny man, who looked as if consumption would kill him be fore breakfast, yawned a little and said lie believed he would give him a whirl, just once for the beer. The bad man looked at him and smiled a contemptu ous smile. "I want a man," he said. "I want a great big man. Somebody that I can taekle'with pride and horor to my family, but I won't hit hard." The bad man threw the sledge grace fully, hit the peg, and the dial marked 120 pounds. The thin man pick ed up the sledge as if lie was right tired, and tapped the peg for 240. The bad man was a little surprised, and seizing the sledge, spread himself and sent it up to 300 retiring with a triumphant look. The consumptive yawned again, and, heaving the sledge with one hand marked 400. The man who swallowed a beefsteak was puzzled, but braced up, and after swinging the maul, until his eyes hung out on his checks, he hit with territic force and fell on his back, while the dial shot up to 425, The con sumptivo man toed the mark, expector ated on his hands, hit the peg once, broke it short off, splintered the seldge, shivered a show window across the street with the concussion, and went down his pocket for a chow of finecut, while the board scored uip to 1,119 and hung over the top unable to go fur ther, with stanchions torn loose. Tiho bad man from Bitter creek turned to the consumptive and in awe-stricken tones inquired: "Who might you be, uilor ?' "Me?" softly inquired the consump tive. "I am engiaged in a side-show, where I break bars and lift horses with my teeth. I am i poor health now and dan't do much, but I hope to be able to go to work soon. Would you like to try another whirl?~' "Not at all, mister,'' said the steak ~ swallower;i "excuse me ; I aim not feel Ing well, and think I will go home and * see the old woman. GooJl-by," and the old man walked off like a hack horse af ter the fair. Fnbneo Gamens. -I The Greeks held athletics in great estimation. Their whole mode of life I was conducted with reference to aug menting their bodily strength ; some of their piecept~s while drilling were ex tremely rigid .They frequently anoin ted their bodies to make them more supple just before a combat they sprinkled ft sand over themselves, so the grasp of each one could be more firm. Theli re - wards of the conquerors were applause and the public proclamnationi of their * names. The great public games of the * Greeks were also a part of their rehi * ~ gleus customs ;thiey were always begun and enided with sacrillces. There were -two modes of wrestlng exercise; one was the erect posture,and the other was the lying position; in strict, wrestlings blows were nbt permiitted. Boxing was a very favorite game. Tihose who desired to appear its combatants in the famous Olympic games were obliged to spend months practicing at the gymna stun. Tihe prize was a crown or wreath of olive. Among the most celebrated 1.. Olympic victors was Alcibiades. The 4 ~ first of these Olympic gaines took place 716 B. C.; they were abolished in ~394 A. D). in the reign of Theodoslus. linmer's litad gives a clear and and in teresting account of the gymnastic ex ercise. This style of sport was reduced to a perfect systemn, and was conducted by public officers. At the close of the eighteenth century gymnastics wore largely practiced in Prussian schools, Females are now fond of practicing catlisthenics, an exercise quite like the more simple forms of gy mnastics. in France there are military gymnasties, where they learn how to adroitly scale walls by leaping on each other's shoulders. The practices of the zouaves are specimens of the military gymnast. The games of running and leaping were very popular in ancient times; sometimes the racers were dressed in lull armor. Ihe horse races received the patronage of all Greece, yet the prize was only a crownm of pine, par. ely or olive. The boxing sport was not establisbh in England until the reigns of the princes of the house of Brunswick, A champion was named, who wore the belt of honor, having proved that ho was the best pugilist. Every gentle mnan of distinction favored this ranme. TIhere was a code of rules to be obser ved in the practicing of boxing, which became a favorite method of setling both private and public disputes. This style of sport has lost all Its once re linedi prestige, and is now prohibited in England and America. The atte of a millstone nhanufactory of the bronze age la thought to have been discovered at Auvenir, near Neuchatel. Millstones In all stages of man ufacture have recontly been brought to light AGRIOULTUBR. BINTS To DAIRYMEN.-,-The most en terprising and successful dairymen carry on what is known as winter dairying. Every one cannot make butter in winter, and themajoity of dairymen are compelled' to do 'their business in the summer season. But no one is obliged to sell his product as soon as it is made unless it is so made that immediate sale is -necessary to preserve it from deterioration. If but ter is well made and well packed It may be kept for six months with per feet safety, and some experts are con vinced that the best made butter ripens and improves in flavor by keeping, be cause the particular essential oils which give the aroma to good butter become slowly developed when the latter is perfectly well packed and pre served from the atmosphere, Manufac turers of goods rarely or never crowd their products on the market as soon as they are ready for sale. They watch the markets, and the selling of their goods li one of the most important parts of their business. Their profits depend in a great measure on selling at the right time. It should be so with the dairyman. But he cannot hold off unless his butter is so well made and packed that it may be kept over for weeks or months without injury. Fall trade butter, from the fresh growth of grass which is now beginning to spring, as the cool,dewy nights and seasonable shows oecur, is of a choice a quality as any. The success of the dairy busi ness depends upon excellence of pro duct and sales made when the highest prices are current. Doubtless the more suggestion of these points wfll draw mature consideration to them from our interested readers. HANDLE DAInY STOCK KINDLY.-It is important that dairy stock trom the young calf to the old cow that is being ted for beef, should be handled and treated kindly. If a calf 1s handled roughly and becomes rough and vicious thereby, when it becomes a cow you may expect the spme, but if handled carefully and treated with kindness, when grown up she will be mild and gentle. It may not always be so, but in general it is. There have always been many cows spoiled by the person having the care of and milking them,by whipping or frightening them when ever they come in his way, or If when milking a cow hoists her foot or kicks (which is generally caused by pain,) such a fellow stops milking and eom mences whipping, or worse, kicking the cow, and she becomes enraged, holds up her nillk, kicks back, and Is finally ruined. Never whip a cow for kicking, if she does kick the milk pail out of your hand and sometimes upset a. (I knock you, but be kind and gentle with her, and milk her out with as lit tle excitement as possible, and if she gets over her kicking propensity it, will be by mild and not harsh treatment. Never whip a cow because she kicks, for it will do no good, but will do a great (teal of harm. VEoETABLE Polsoxs.-For some rea sons or other a large portion of man kind have come to the conclusion that vegetable extracts, compounds pills and powders can be taken with impu mity into the human stomach, and hence quacks have taken advantage of this general ignorance on so important a subject, and advertise their waies,as harmless because of vegetable origin. I have never been able to explain why it is that medical professors of our col leges who know these assertions to be false, have not over and again written articles for the press to properly In form the masses upon this exceedingly important subject. The truth Is right the opposite from the usual supposi tion. Stry chnine one of the deariest poisons known to man, is an extract Iroum seeds called nux vomica. One grain of strychalne which is only the 1-480 part of an ounce will produce death. Fromi the leaves 01f the peach can be distilled Hlydrocyanice or Prus sie acid, also a very deadly poison. Opium, Stranmonium, Atroph a, Biella rina, ivy and a host of other poisons are nll vegetable products. CUBAN TOnACCO.-T'here are many who believe that the island of Cuba produces the linest tobacco for cigars in the world. T'his is true in a meas ure, yet it produces some of the most inferior stock that ean be found any wvhere, 'rhe best tobacco for~ making cigars is growni in the west end of the island, and known as the Vuelta Aba jo, the plant there most in value be ing the b~ecotlum Rapanda. Trhat which is raised east of Havana is called Vuelta Arriba, anid a of an inferior quality. The most noted vega, or plan. tation, is aituatedh near the town of bantiago dle Cuba, aid Is called Yara. Tihe choiccst tobacco is that growni on the banks of rivers wvhichm are periodi cally over flowed : these kinds are called Lo Rio Hlondo and Pinar del Rio. Thue islandt of Trinidad alhso produces a su perior ai ticle of the same sort. The very best tobacco is grown is Cuba, and hence the best cIgars are made there. Tair. wheat crop of the present year, taking the aggregate yield throughout the United States, promises to be un precedentedly large. By some the crop hass been estimatedi as high as 560,000. 000, butt according to the New York Tribunic it may be safely set down at not less than from 480.000,000 to 490, 000,000 bushels or ironm 30.000,000 to 40,000,0010 bushels in excess of the great crop of 1879. CIDusn.-Trhe best cider is made from late ripening, usond frmit, and in cool weather when the fermentation ia gra dlual. Many early apples may be worked up into s weet cider and sold as such or made Into vinegar. This is one of the best methods of turning to account fruit that would otherwise be lost. Uses of Turpentine.-it ls valuable in hemorrhage haem the nose, lungs, blad der, uterus, kidney, stomach, ski n and bowvels; it is an anthelmlntlo diuretic, ilaphorecLe stimulant, rubefacient, couniiter-irritant, and sedative; but, unfortunately it is extremnely unpala table, unless combined with creosote, rosemary, or oil of almonds; it may in duce nausea, perhaps cause cerebral ir ritation when given in excess, or eveni strangury. Fatal cases are rare. Lu ,eifer matchmakers, by wearing little smneihng bottles of turpentine around their necks imagine immunity from phosphorus poisoning. Cholera, it is said, avoids the pine foreste of Norway and Sweden; while S9cotchi firs are an tagonistie to diphtheria, and in other parts of the world to whooping~ cough, hay fever and phthi-is. In North Ca rolina, when quinine ran short, the local application of turpentine relieved the paroxysm of agute. it has proved of the greatest service in seome fover cases; three drachm doses in whisky punch h'aving saved many lives. it is an effeesual remedy in tape-worm, and very serviceable In puerperal fever, in diarrama nnd irttis. IY DOMESTIC. POTAToXs Ix SvmyN WArs.-Let us give you a few little hints in regard to Sthe different methods of cooking pota oes, so that the oft abused boiled pota to may be varied during the week at dinner. First Sunday, nashed pots toes;' peel, steam place in a pan aid" mash add milk, butter and salt,- and then.beat like cke-batter, the longer the better, till they are nice and light. 'hiis steaming and beating will be found a great improvement. Monday, baked potatoes in theirjackets. By the way, if any are left over they may be warp. ed over by not peeling them till 43146 and then slicing. Tuesday, peel an bake them with roast beef. Wednes., day, prepare them in the KeqtucKy; style, as tollows: The potatoes are sliced thin, as for frying, and allowed to remain in cold water half an hour. The slices are put into a pudding dish. They are then put into an oven and baked for an hour. When taken out, a lump of butter the size of a hen's egg is cut into small bits and scattered over the top. Thdse who have never eaten potatoes cooked thus do not know all the capabitities of that esrilent tuber. The sllcing allows the interior of each potato to be examined, hence its value where potatoes are d'ubtfu, though poor ones are not of necessity required. The soaking in cold wa er hardens the slices,so tinat they will hold their shape. The milk serves to cook them through, anti to made a nice brown on the top; the quantity can only be learned by experience; if just a little is left as rich gravy, moistea all the Alices, then it is right. In a year of small potatoes, this mettiod of serving them will be very welcome to many a housekeeper. Thursday, peel, steam and serve whole. Friday, *potatoes a la janeake,;"peel cut in tlhin slices lengtnwise, sprinkle with pepper and salt,and fry in butter or beef drippings, turning like gridd e cakes. Basurtay, potatoes boiled In their jackets. These are simple ways, but give variety. On Monday and Tuesday aIwa) s prepare them in some way in the oven, so as to leave the top of the stove free. V aRy frequently plants purchased at the greenhouse begin to troop and turn yellow. A lady tells in Vick's Afagasine how she managed a calla which was rapidly going off into a "green and yellow melancholy." "I procured a three-gallon glazed crock, filled it two-thirds full of .rich earth, and then put in the plant and filled it nearly to the brim with water, which I have kept atabout that level ever sice, adding now and then a few drops of ammonia. To-day my calla stands fo-r fee high, with four broad, dark-green leaves, a stalk in the water Is as large as my wrist, and two flower stems are appearing." HIOUSBKEEPMRs can save their hands so they need not wiah they could leave them at home when they go visiting. Have plenty of soft thick holders near the stove to take hold of the handles of kettles or pans. Keep a pair of gloves near your sun-bonet to bring in the wood, work in the garden, or to put on when you sweep, that your hands may not become callous. If they are liable to chap, use plenty of glycerine, or wash thetm in vinegar, and when you sit down to .your sewing, and your hands feel like a nutmeg grater, rib them with champhor, and it will make them feel soft anu pliable. EvVnv housekeeper should know that sugar boiled with an acid, if it be but three minutes,will be converterted into to glucose, which is the form cf sugar found in s greet apples. One pound of sugar has as much sweetening power at 2% pounds of glucose. In other woz ui, 1 pound of sugar stirred into the fruit after It is cooked, and while yet warm, will make the fruit as sweet as 2% p~ouids added while the fruit is b)olhulg. Father is Getting Well.

N. Y. Utica Ilerahld. FamiIy Sour.c--Put two pounds of beef into a kettle with two quarts and a half of cold water, a small table speonful of salt, aind set it on a good lire. As the scum collects oni the suar lace, skim it off; when it begins to boll add about a ine glassful of coldl wa ter to stop the boiling, andl~ allow all the scum to corns off the surface, In order to remove It. When no mere of it comes up, add a smiall turnip, a me dlium-sized carrot,two cioves,an onion, a stalk of celery, a leek andi it clove of garlIc; simmer constantly for about six hours, then acid a tablespoonful of burnt sugar,.andi the broth is made. BRAINS wIT11 SAUCEa.-Bnil them in salt water ; put in a sauettpan a spoon ful of butter ; add flour, then water gradually until of the consistency of cream; stir into it the yolks of two well-beaten eggs, and remove from the fire immediately ; a teaspoonful .f vin egar may be added or not, as the taste dictates. It should be sent to table right off, as it is apt to thicken if it stands any time. BorI,F.D Fowr.s.-F.our a white cloth andi put the fowls in cold wvater; let them simmer three-quarters of an hour, serve with parey and butter, cr0oys ter or celery sauce. The fowvls may be covered with a white sauce if sent to the table coid, garnished with colored calistoot jelly of the hue of beet-root. To brown sugar ior sauces or pud ding, put the sugar in a perfectly dry saucepan. If the pan is ina the least bit wet, the sugar will burn and you will spoil your saucepan. IvonY that has been spotted, or has growna yellow, can be made as clear and fresh as new by rubbing with fine sand paper, and then polishing, with finely powdered pumice stone.

In a paper on insecticides for the pro tection of cotton, Prof. C. V. Riley speaks highly of the ordinary fluid ex tractof pyrethrum prepared as set forth in the phornacopeta. The extract from a pound kills alLyoung worms when diluted in 120 gallorqs of n ater. One of the most important discoveries Is that it acts equally well or even better when the powder is simply mixed with water, and even one pound to 150 gal Ions of water is effective, and one pound to 200 gallons will cause the de. struction of most young worms. The vegetable from which the powder is obtained can be cultivated by the plan ter hImself, and Prof. Riley has taken steps to have it introduced in the cot ton belt. If his observations have been. accurate, he Is fully justified in saying that the harmlessness of the powder to man, the sir I quantity of it neces sary to produL - tne required effect, and the fact that the plant may be grown on- the plantations where .it is required, v I I oils t the greater perma nency of the arsenical powders.

Faye on the physical forces which have pro duced the present figure of the earth. After remarking on the use of the pen dulum in determining the figure of the earth from series of measurements of the intensity and direction of the gra vitation force at different parts or the earth's surface, he draws atent-on to the very curious fact that while the di rection and intensity of gravity are ef fected perceptibly by the presence of hills such as Schichallion and Arthtir's seat (in Scotland), or even by such masses as small as the Great Pyramid of Glzeh, gigantic mountains, on the othrer hand, such as the Himalayte, and great elevated plateaus and table lands, do not a frect~the pend ulum vibra tions in any seinsibie manner, except in eertain cases where upon elevated cont tinents there appears to be a verlta',le defect of attraction instead of the ex cess which mightt have been expected. Indeed, the observations are sufficient ly striking to seem to point to the sup position that under the whole of every large continent there were enormous cavities. More than this, the attraction at the surface of all the great oceans appears too great to agree with the dis5 tribution presumed by Ciarlaut's for mula, which is exact enough for the purposes. Sir G. Airy's suggestion that the base of' the hilmalayas range reaches down into the denser liquid in terior and there displaces a certain amount of that liquid, so that, the ex terior attraction is thereby lessened, ia on. which, inherently improbable, fails to have any application in ex plaining why the attractions above the seas should be ,roater than over the continents. M. Fay propounds the following solution to the dIfficulty : Undler the Ocean the globe cools more rajidly and to agreater depth than be neath rthe surface of tne-continent. A t a leptht oft 4,000 metres (13,000 feet) ti~e ocean -will still have a temperature not remote from 0 degree 0. (32 degrees Fah.), while at asimilar deith beneath the earth's crust the temperature would be not far from 150 degrees CI. (allow ing 108 feet in depth down for an in crease of our degree in the internal t m peraiture.) If the earth had but one uniform rate of cooling all over it, it would be reasonable to assume that the solid crust would have the same thick ness and the same average density all over it. it ja therefore argued that belo.w the primitive oceans thre earth's crust assumed a'definite solid thickneIsO before the continents, and that'in cos - tracting,-these thicker portions cxce - cieed a pressure upon the fluid nucleus tending to elevate still further the con tinents. This hypothesis, M. Faye thinka, will, moreover, explain the un equal distribution of land and sea around thse two poles, t~he genert.I rise and. fail of continents being determin ed by the excess of the denisity of; crust beloW the'oceans, and by the lines or points of least i.esista~nce to :internael pressure being at the middle of con ii nents or at the margin of oceans.
