Las cotury flurresnes. The colonists In Louisana during the rear 1728 were dragging. along slug gishly and miserably a rickety sort of existence, whe'n, on the 11th of Septem ber, there burst upon them a tremend ous hurricane, which lasted three days. The church, the hospitals and thirty houses in the modest little ham let of New Orleans were prostrated by the wind. Three ships that were in port were completly wrecked, the crops were destroyed, very few of the edift ces on the embryo farms of the colony could withstand the fury of the hurri cane, and were swept away like chafi or autumn leaves. The desolation was so widely spread and so intensely felt that that the first impulse of the peo pie in their despair was to quit the colony for ever; and no doubt they would have executed their design if they could have procured means of transportation. A company of in fan try that had embarked at Biloxi for New Orleans availed themselves of this fa vorable opportunity for escape, took possession of the vessel and forced her captain to nail for Charleston, where they landed safely with their arms and baggage. On the 25th of February, 1741, Beauchamp, the French comman der at Mobile, gave in a dispatch to his Goverment the description of a dread ful hurricane which began on the 11th of September, 1740, and which pro duced very extensive disasters in what was then called the Colony of L)uisi ana. "The hurricane," he said "was so violent that here (Mobile) it blow down several houses, and among others the edifice which Mr. Bizeton had con strueted, not only as a store, but as a house of refuge for sallors. Unfor nnately It contained all the flour and provisions destined for the subsistence of the garrison, I was obliged to send the garrison a fishing along the coast for the barrels which had been thrown into the water and part of which were staved in. Without this barrel-fishing we should have run tbe risk of dying of hunger, as our resources were limi ted to six or cight barrels of flour which were in the fort. "The wind was so furions that if it had continued forty-eight hours, as all hurricanes generally do, we should have been in undated. Fortunately it blew only twelve hours, but with such force that half of Dauphine Island was carried away, and more than three hundred head of cattle were drowned on the island. We have lost a greater num ber of them on this coast and at Pasea goula. This loss is severely felt by the poor population of this section of the country. The effect produced by the force of the wind is almost Incredible. There was lying before the guard house of Dauphine Island a cannon of four pound caliber. The wind trans ported it eighteen feet from where it was. This fact is sworn to by all the Inhabitants of the island. This hurri cane, whiole lasted twelve hours, began in the night of the 11th of September, and ceased on that day at noon. But al though its duration was not long, it caused imuoh damage. To cap the climax there camne another hurricane on the 18th of the same monthi, which de stroyed the rest of our resources. This wind, which blew from the north northeast, and whichb was accomipaniod by heavy raini, caused an overflowing of all the rivois from Carolina to this place. The first hurricane was from east-southeast. Lauckilyv these hori canes did not pass over New Orleans and the adjacent country, whore all the crops have turned out to be pretty abundant. Otherwise the whole col ony would have beeni in a frightful condition for the want of provisions. Diving for Fish. Every time that a steamer anchors at Aden numbers of little boys swim round,the vessel, and dive for the coin pitched to them in the water by the passengers. Their skill is undioubtedly great, but the fishermen of the Nico bars, and a few among the Sea Dyaks of Borneo, arc reputed the most skil futl swimmers in the worldl. The men of the Nicobars capture fish by the hand. They glide about in their light skif's, intently watching the translucent water; when they obtain a favorable Sopportunity, thesy take a sudden dive straigth down upon their finny prey. The fish are generally so startled that they dart hither and thither, now up and now down, without continuing their swift movements in any one given direction. The diver has therefore lit tIle difficulty in coming within arm's length of them. Ih is however, esteem ed to be but a poor feat to seize and bring up one fish. A man should be able to catch simultaneously two fish --one in each hand. This is frequently done, and the best swimmers think nothing of it. If a man wishes to show his prowoss in the water, he ofisses-429 kills a shark, often twice as long as himself. T'o many of the fishermen of the coast of Nether India, shark-hurat ing in water is somewhat like what fox-hunting is in E~ngland. Carious Fasts About Tools. When we study the construction of our most important instruments we discover to our astonishment that the latter are trute copies of some parts of our body, and simply a furth~r comn pletioni of them. In the first stone ham mer man has unknowingly imitated his forearm with closed fist; in the shovel and spoon we see thie forearm and hollowed hand ; in the saw we find a reproduction of a row of teeth ; tongs represent the closing together of thumb and lingers; in the hook is a bent fin ger reproduced ; the pencil is simply a prolongation of the fore finger; so, we see in all instruments, from the sim plest to the most complicated, only an improvement and completion of the, human organs; and thus we find that all the inventional thoughts of men are directed towards the same aim as that toward which organic develop unaent tendls. AGRICULTURE. MANAGEMENT OF DAsY STOC.-The common cows of the country are trea. ted unfairly by writers on cattle gen erally. Epithets designed to reflect severely and unjustlyare used by those who ought to be honest with the cows that supplied them In Infancy with a good and generous supply of milk, cream and butter. The truth is that the so-called scrub dungh El are grades, and very frequently grades from an cestors of right royal blood. In fact, there would be fewer scrubs If the general cow was treated better- -housed bettA r,fed better handled better. These arejelements which help gr a ly to make up the good and profitable dairy stock for cheese, butter or milk production. If we depend upon the common stock we must weed out the weedy and only cherish and keep the best. A good cow of any herd or breed ought to pay a fair interest on her cost and keeping; otherwise she should be dis charged-should be sent to the butcher. Where the dairy stock is raised-and this is the quikest and surest way to create, Improve and perfect a dairy only good cows calves should be rais ed, and the sire of calves should be a Pon and grand-son of good cows. The law of selection is potential in results. By this plan we have seen dairies of great excellence from common stock, Common stock is, in such a relation. hardly fair to the improved herd, for indeed, if we have been thorough, every cow In the dairy should be an uncommonly good animal. M ANURES Fon DIvrrNT LANDS - The coarse manures should generally be applhed to the heavy clays, especial ly if vegetable matter is lacking. Their fermentation in the soil disintegrates it, and promotes fertility. Usually clay soil has abundance of plant food, but not In available shape for crops. Hence something to bring out what Is In the soil is needed. Concentrated and mineral manure are best adapted to cold and mucky land. Here there is plenty of vegetable mould, but it is not active. Great manures are best adapted to sandy or gravely soils. lere vegetable matter is always dell cient. Some sands and gravels are lacking in other respects also, and In such eases the land is worth little for farm uses. On the land a sand, or better still a gravel that has plenty of lime, potash and phosphates, Is the very best land to work becauso it is always dry, warn and quick ; and if it has a somewhat heavier subsoil, it has the ability to endure an uit'avorable season better than any other. The beat test of a sand or gravel soil as to fertility Is to observe the clover catch and growth. If a farmer can get a good clover catch every year ol sand or gravel, he has the means In his own hand of making it as rich as he wants it. IN the older pastures, blackberry bushes have in iany localities become a troublesome pest, and to eradicate them Is generally a matter of very un successful effort. An old farmer, who has had his share of bother and defeat, has found a sure remedy, During the winter he mows theim down, and If c envenient, runs a fieid roller over theia to smash them down. Between the cutting andi a dry spell in the car ly spring, they will accumulate a con siderable quantity of leaves and grass which together with the stalks will make a furious fire. As soon as the new shoots make their appearance, turn in a Ileak of sheep, and as the brier shoots wili be exceedingly tender, the sheep wilhl devour them as fast as they ap~pear, and the conitinued eatliag by the sheep will eradicate thom la 0ne season.* COOKxD MEAr FOR FOWLs.--Fowls as wveli as dogs become quarrel 50ome if fed on raw ment.

EMXDicAL Usia or EGas.---For burne and scalds the're is nothing more sooti. Ing than the white of an egg, which may be poured over the wound. It i softer as a varnish for a burn than col. -lodion, and being always on hand can be applied immediately* It is alsomore cooling than the "sweet oil of cotton" which was formerly supposed to be the surest application to allay the smarting pain.- It t the contact with the air which gives theextreme discomfort experienced from ordinary accidents of this kinds and anything which ex eludes air and prevents Inflammation is the thing to be at once applied. The egg is also considered one of the best remedies for dysentery. Beaten up lightly, with or without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends by its emollent qualities to lessen the intiam mation of the stomach and intestines, and by forming a transient coating on these organs to enable nature to assume her healthful sway over the diseased body. Two, or at most three, eggs per day would be all that would be required In ordinary cases, and since the egg is not merely medicine, but food as well, the lighter the diet otherwise, and the quieter the patient is kept, the more certain and rapid Is the recovery. To RENOVATE MEN'SOLOTHMIG.-My husband had a beaver overcoat, for which he paid $30, which ind become so faded as to be scarcely fit to wear. I took some benzine and cleaned the col lar; then I took a sponge and damp ened the coat thoroughly with water, into which I nad previously dissolved a tablespoonful of copperas, and then I dipped a dark woolen cloth into a dye made by dissolving about inve cents worth of extract of logwood, takIng care to put it on evenly and not wet the coat through; then after drying, I washed it thoroughly with soapsuds by dipping a cloth In it and rubbing so a to get the dye otr, so that it would not blacken; then by adding a new bind ing and button, the coat looked nearly as well as now. To MAKE LORSTER CnOQUETTES. Mince the flesh of a ljobster, season with salt, spices and a ittle cayenne. M.telt a piece of butter in a saucepan, uix with it a tablespoonful of flour then the lobster and some chopped parsley; moisten with a little stock until the mixture looks like minced veal then stir into it. off the fire a couple of yo'ks of eggs, and put it by to get cold.

To KERp ious FRE8IH.-Take them daily from the nest and pack, small end down, in any clean and noncon ducting mLterial, like lie sand, sifted coal or wood ashes, and set away in any cool atnd dry place whero the tem perature will not rise above 75 dog. or better, 65 deg. or 60 deg. Where these conditions are to be attained, pre servation in lime-water or salt, Is wholly unnecessary, because limed eggs are at least llashy,because the air being excluded in the low temperature maintained, eggs will keep sweet a9d sound for months. LEMoN MinINGU.-Beat the yolks of six eggs with a patent beater until they are thick, add the juilce of two lenons and their ritnd, grated, and a cup of su gar. Coeok in a farina kettle. When the mixture begins to thicken, add the whites of the eggs beaten till they stnid alone.

On cer tain occasions he was instructed to In form any company who might ring at the door, that gMrs.-was not at home." One day John made this re ply to a lady, who shortly went away, eayving a card and a promise to call again. As the card was handed to his mistress, she said, "John, what did you say to the lady ?" "I told her that you were not at home." "Well John, I hope you did not laugh. "Oh, no, ma'am," said John, "I never laugh when I tell a lie." THEY were walking arm in arm up the street, and just ahead of them was a woman in a splendid dress. The set. ting sun was gilding the western heavens and throwing a beautiful crimson glow all over the earth. He said, in a subdued tone, "Isn't it lovely ?" "Well, I don't Icnow," was the reply of his fair companion; "I don't Li Ik the trimming matchesvery well, and it doesn't lit her a bit." He shuddered.

Wood Products of Nortay.-T he Build. ing Netos (London) states that a great revival has lately taken place through out Norway in all department of the timber and planed-wood trades, which have suffered severely from a p rotract ed depression. - The wood pulp manu facture, however, has fared better, the demand from Gi ett Britain and Frant e being persistently on the Increase.

Although the production 1a 1879 ex ceeded what the previous years, prices were lower, from the great local comi petition; but as esparto grass has risen in value, it will very soon favorably influence the price of wood pulp, the more as the English paper makers con tracted pretty largely for paper pulp during the winter, to the ,amount of 2,UO tons in excess ot the ordinary de mand.
