lrARM AWD GARDEN. WAsTE OF DIANUnH.-It should be a car dinal principle with every farmer to econo mize his manure. Upon it dep(nds his success, and without it his labor must, to a very great extent, be without profit, if not attended with absolute loss. If It is neces sary to have the barn yard on a hill side, it Is equally necessary to have the lower side of It protected by a wall or some other ar rangement by which the escape of liquid manufe may be prevented. It Is almost equally hnmportant, to have at spout to convey rain water from the roof of the barn In some other diiection than directly through the boarn yard. It, is bad enough that thle heap) should be exposed to thle rains wihich -fall directly upon it, without adding to it thle droppings from the roof of the barn. If such improvident farnrs were to behold th3 actual value of the fertiizing materials thus lost, rolling from thr purses in the shape of dollars and cents, how energeti cally would they labor to prevent this waste. The loss of a single little gold dollar would stir them up to a gieater ac tivity .han the direct waste of a hundred times that of the little gold dollar's value in the form of liquid manure. Year after year, silently but steadily, golden streams are flowing from Iheir purses. Tell them of their error and they acknowledge it, but rarely (1oes it happen that, being reminded of it in a friendly manner, they make a single effort to correct it. Iilow inany are there who, after a life of steady, unremit ting toil, find themselves no richer in lands or money than when they began. They cannot explain the reason. Other causes may have led to such discouraging results, but if the drain of liquid manures from their barn yards had been checked when they began farming, very many of these unsuccessful ones would have bcen as prosperous as their more provident neigh bors. How ViN~c Ci.%Mfi.-Prof. Brewer, of Washington College, Pa , communicates to the Anrican .Iournal of Sciencc and A rs the result of son experinients iade by him on climbing vines-the hop, the Limia bean and the morning glory. lie finds that they will climb around a transparent glass pipe just as well as anything else, and they are most ardent in their embraces when the pole is warmer than the surrounding air. During the day the vine is attracted to ward tho light, but at night, and especially on cold nights, it turns to the pole. le learns, also, that the color of the pole makes no dillerence ; the caressing instinct of the vine las no Prejudice against any shade. The clement, of constancy is very largely developed, the vine, after it has reached the pole, showing a much stronger tendency to wind around it than it did before to reach it. It is, doubtless, true that a bean will climb around a glass pipe as freely as rny thing else ; but, as a hint to practical men, it may be said here that a vine will make nuch greater progress when it lins a rough stick to chl) around than it will when the stick is smooth, Thie vine cannot adhere to the smooth Pole, and spends its force In trying to hold on. On a rough stick it fInds support, and, as in tihe case of sonic beans, reaches the top imiuch sooner tihan other wise. Another thing is, that grape vimies and all Tines grow much more rapidly with a stake to elimb to than without one. If one 1a a choico vine which it is desired should run up 1iickly, stake it at once. A iinir writer saiys it is advisable to feed calvus in winter witli something be sides skim milk, and suggests the use of "hay tea," niade by placing a quantity of hay in a smiall tubl, thmen p'ouiinig boiling water upon it, aind allowing the mixture to staiid until col enough for the calf to driiik. Alil this tea with skium nmilk and it will not, only 1be found a nutritious drink, but a desirable change in feeding.

Would the cirect, be thme same in other parts of the werld ? It is very im.. portant that the eaurthm should be tightly pressed downa on the roots of thme roses. oumssy la:Avm. -lt has been found by experiments that potatoes miaiiuried in Sho hli with decayed forest, leasvcs produiced souiid tubers of a good size, while those for. t ilized withi b arnyuard imaiiire, growing in the saiie fIld, yielded muany seabby and~ snmall-sizsed tubers. o- H is sltach i.

"Yes, but I fell in love with her some time ago,and I suppose that I shall always love lier." "D1id you ever tell lion of your love ?'' '"Oli, yes, and I kin w that shio loves ine." ''Does her husband know it ?" "Yes, for one (lay while I was vIsiting the ladly lie enteredl thme room just as I put my arms around her." "What did lie do?" "le did'nt (10 anything." "Curious, kind of a man" ".No, for I did not expect him to do any, thing.'' "Why ?" ,'B1ec.ause the lady Is my mother." DOMESTIC. NAr H1oUsEXlsPINo.-A capital inotto to be hung over the kitchen door is this: "Thou desirest truth in the inward parts ;" and the woman who, when she expected company at tea, always went the first thing and washed the cellar stairs had ten dencies in the right direction - she did it, she said to "settle her nind,' and there is no doubt whatever that it was a source of deep and heartfelt satisfaction to her, as she sat in the parlor and entertained her guests with sprightly conversation, or presided with ease and dignity at her daintily dressed table, to reflect that the hidden and gracious virtues symbolized by cienn cellar stairs were also hers. A habit of thoroughness is something which most I-coplo need to cultivate with assi luity and in no professin.is it more needed or does it count for more than in ours, dear, dear housekeepers who read this. There Is an unmistakeable air about a perfectly neat house which is felt by all those who come into itt there Is no use in trying to make it appear that neatnessand order are char. acteristics of your home unless "they are. There is reason to think that some wo men are in this matter content to seem without caring to be, but it is a very transparent deceit. "If there is to be any dirt in the house," said the best house keeper I ever knew, "let it, be where I can see it ; let t1le on the parlor table and chairs rather than be allowed to remain under the beds, and in corners where it will become rich soil for the development and growth of gerns of disease." There is a great difference between a disorderly homiekeeper and an untidy one; there are often cogent reasons why a woman cannot possil ly always havo her house in the order she loves; it may be the one severe trial of her life that she cannot carry out her ideas in this respect and sho may be deserving of credit for accepting the situa tion with eq Janimity, especially if, as is frequently the case, she may also be obliged to endure the injustice of being rated a failure as a housekeeper, when in reality she is irreproachable so far as neat ness is concernne(. This is certain. l.Y of paramount inportance; it is a truth sadly forced home sometimes that life and death wait upon the discharge of what appear to be simple and even unim portant matters. USS OF A BAND BA.--One of the most convenient articles to be used in a sick room is a sand-bag. Gct some clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in a kettle on the stove, make a bag about eight inches square or flannel, fill it with the dry sand, sew the opening carefully together, and cover the bag with cotton or lined-cloth. This will prevent the sand from sifting out, and will alsu enable you to heat the bag quickly by placing it in the oven, or even on t lie top of the stove. After once using this you will never again attempt to warn the feet or handa of a sick person with a bottle of hot water or a brick. Th'e sand holds the heat a long tmic, and the hae: can be tucked up to the back without hurt Ing the invalid. It is a good plan to make two or three of the bags and keep them ready for use. TiE project to make everybody rich by making coffee from dates may be very geni crous, but it has the grave fault of being too expensive. Where is the sense in spoiling a dried fruit that is so delicious to the palate of the small boy, and that is worth at least a few cen-s per-pound,when other materials that are tea times as cheap have already been sold by the ton under the name of coffee andt at good prices ? Beans, peas, nuts of several kinds, roastedI co)rn, sweet, potatoes, mahogany sawdiust, dried liver, locust pods, various barks and roots, and~ (dozens1 of other cheap materials, all of American production, have been roasted, ground and soht at, a handsomie p~rofIt, as coffee.

A Raw ENoIAND woman was the much disappointed wife of a Harvard University geologist. She was all poetry and imagin ation; he was all paleontology and geo logical research. Upon a certain occasion, when his scientific accomplishments were being praised In the presence of a stranger, the latter turned to her and said: "blay I sk, madame, what your hus band is?" 'Certainly," she answered frankly, "he is a relic of the stone ago." Coi.

AN eldtrly gentleman says to a little miss of seven: "Bay, sissy, wil you marry me ?" The child, taking the proposition grave ly, curls up her mouth as if considering the subject. "Come, sissy, says her mother, "will you marry the gentleman I" "Yes'm, but-(aside)-ma, I'd likd a newer husband." (Quincy, (111.) Daily Herald.) Speaking "by the Card'" C. II. Wood, Esq., of tho C. & T. Ity., Port Huron, Mich., favors our correspondent with the following: After suffering for nearly a year with rheumatism, receiving treatment from most of the best ph ysicians of Michi gan and the West, I happened to try a bottle of St. Jacob's 011. Upon the first' application I used fully half a bottle, and its effect was almost in stantaneous. I Immediately dropped all other treatment, and confined my self to its uso alone. After the use of three bottles, Instead of being driven to my business, or moving about on crutches, I walked from one to three miles daily about business, and have been free from this horrible disease for over a year, not having the slighest twinge of it. Hence, I say that 11 medicines known to me are usele s when compared with the Old German remedy. Use this statement when and where it suits. A NKw night attendant is on duty at the telephone exchange whose voice has been spoiled by too much fertilization. It is as musical as a buzz saw.

The (lay operator secms to be a much nicer young man, has a tenor voice and a sweet breath. WHmN we stop to gaze upon the trees, cabbage plants and everything else which is green at present, something calls to memory the little trip we took not many years ago, when we thought we were "some pumpkins." We walked fifteen and one-eighth miles into the country to see our girl, and, pfter arriving at her house, the girl's mother gave us a piece of cheese and a cracker and said, "Now, run home, sonny, like a good boy." Fact is stranger than fiction. A Missouim baby has been named Mazin Grace. A neighbor asked the mother how she happened to give the child such a name, "1YVhy I got it out of the hymn book."

When the Southerii Ocean was first op~ened to British enterprise by the dliscov onies of Capt. Cook it teemed with animal life. Fur-seals and hair-sermis abounded on the coasts of Australia eoud New Zealand andl on the outlying iislands. They were at once set upon andi killed, the slaughter being conducted with out regard to sex or season. Trhe result, was a total extirpation of several species. "2Ju9 might as soon exp~ect to me'et a sea-lit.n on-London bridge as on any one of thet islands in Bass's strait," was .ihe reply of a 19ew Zealand naturalist to the inquiry mshout the seal..life that early voyagers had 00served. The same result, has happened at, the Falkiand Islarnds, at Cape Horn, andl on the Pacific seaboard of South America. A vessel called the Betsey took 1,000,000 skins froim the island of Masafuera at the becgin ning of the century, an exploit which left no survivors for future adlventurers ; and the island of Juian Fernandez, where, in Ansn's time, there were seals in abund ance, has now only a few stragglers to show. Th'ie same thing happened at the South Shetlands. In 1821-2 BritIsh scalers took away 820,000 skins for the two years, killing males and females indiscriminately, and leaving the young to (die. Thie fate of the sperm whale might furnish a useful lesson in the same direction. It was once abundant in the southern ocean, but is new all but extinct, from the very same causes that, we hafe poinmtedt out above in the case of the seals. Thue American whalers oh. servedi its maternal affection, and~ found it easier to kill a mother aand her cub together than a mother alone.
