At 9 o’clock the private secretary of the
Empress, for he it was who had inter

whole affair to him. When the Empress
found that nothing could be done through
the Senate or the Emperor, she went at
the last moment to the Prefect of Police
and ordered him not to execute the young

Napoleon was very angry at the inter

De Rudio under the same sentence, and
he went through the form of another trial
and was again condemned to death, but
the sentence was commuted to life exile.
He escaped from exile and, coming to
America, entered the Federal service in

civil war.
THE “COON BELT.”
A District In Indiana Where Justice Was
Queerly Adminlstcrsed.
Indianapolis Xews.
The State library should secure, if hap
ly it yet exists, the docket of an early
Sharpsvllle Justice of the Peace, with its
simple entries: “John Smith vs. Thomas
Jones. 1 heard this case and gave Smith
judgment for $0 75 and costs, as witness
mv hand. J. P.” From the decision
of"this court no suitor ever took appeal;
they were final as those of Rhadamanthus
himself. The advocacy of counsel learned
in the law was not encouraged by this
primitive Judge. The general history ot
proceedings was much in this wise: The
plaintiff went to the ’Squire, who heard
his story and made distant and shrewd,
though non-professional, cross-examina
tion of plaintiff. Often he would say: “I
shan’t hear this case. There’s nothin’
rite, and you ought to know it. If you
bother me with it I shall give it agin you.’’
After such an expression of opinion, suit
was seldom brought. But if the ’Squire
thought there was “something rite in it,”
he would say: “I’ll fix you all right.
You come and take dinner with me at 12
o’clock on Thursday, and get your critter
ted. W r e’ll try the case at 1 o’clock, you
can leave at 1:30, and get home in time to
do vour chores before night.” When the
day of trial came the ’Squire (his name
was Wilson) would hear plaintiff’s testi
monv, and, addressing the defendant,
would sav: “Maybe you have some kind
of a lie to tell about this, but 1 know you
owe the man, just as he says, and I shall
give judgment agin you, no matter what
you say.” He always did give judgment
in just the manner indicated, if the de
fendant suggested his desire to appeal,
the court always remarked that it would
be more pleasant to go into the back yard
and settle the matter, and if the offer were
accepted the defendant’s motion for an ap
peal was generally overruled in two
rounds and one knock-down. N. W. Hal
ley, who now holds a position under the
doorkeeper in the House of Representa
tives at Washington, yet bears his raven
locks unstreaked by gray, and he remem
bers the only case in which he failed to
overrule a motion of this kind. A long
haired and still long-armed Tennesseean
had come into “the settlement” neighbor
hoods did not appear until after the war),
and suit was brought against him to re
cover $1 25 for “work and labor done at
his special instance and request.” The
’Squire gave judgment for the amount; the
Tennesseean asked for anew trial. “Come
out in the back yard and get it, right
now,” said the ’Squire. The court and de
ieudant, accompanied by the plaintiff, the
constable, the defendant’s son, and a
crowd of spectators, adjourned to the
yard. In the first round, says Mr. Halley,
the gentleman from East Tennessee sim
ply stood stock-still and let the ’Squire
hammer at him. A sock-dollager on the
right ear, that sounded like the blow of a
hammer on a shingle nail, aroused his at
tention, and giving his hat in charge of his
son, he struck the ’Squire a left-handed
blow that covered his lace with a richer
red than the rays of the setting sun or the
stains of pokeberry juice could impart.
The ’Squire had commenced to dig a well
in his back yard. The Tennesseean picked
him off the ground, dropped him the into
hole, and, turning to his son, said: “Jakp.
take the shovel and cover him up.” ‘'Hold
on,mister,” said the ’Squire,‘‘that air judg
ment is reversed.” From that day the
’Squire was a crushed man. He resigned
his office, and shortly afterward went to
Kansas, ltude as his decisions were, they
were generaUy correct. He was a good
judge of human nature, and, if unfitted
for quiddities of law, possessed a clear
perception of equity.
It was a rude era that endured until the
end of the 60’s in Central Indiana, but it
was an honest one. If a farmer had
locked his doors he would be laughed at;
the idea of burglary had not entered the
rustic mind, clothes were left hanging out
at nights, grain was piled in doorless
cribs, each man new his neighbor and
trusted him. We are wonderfully im
proved since then. Old Jack McClanahan
sat as ’Squire in fourteen of the most liti
gious years ol Indiana, and boasted, with
truth,"that no decision given by him was
ever reversed by a Superior Court. On
two occasions the old Common Pleas
Court overruled his decisions, but, appeal
being taken higher, the Supreme Court iu
turn reversed the judgment of the Com
mon Pleas. One of his last judicial acts
was to discharge a prisoner, arrested un
der the Baxter bill. “Gentlemen,” said
Jack to the attorneys who prepared to
argue the case before him, “you might
talk all the atternoon and do no good; my
mir.d is made up. I have read the law,
and it isn’t worth shucks; the caption
don’t hold on to the text. Prisoner, go in
I>eaee and sin no more; you are as free as
the wind.” The matter dropped there, so
far as Jack was concerned, but a circuit
Judge in another county having convicted
a prisoner.the case went up to the Supreme
Court, and the law was held worthless on
the exact grounds that Jack had laid
down. He died rejoicing that he “was
the first Judge” who had declared the bill
unconstitutional. We laugh at the un
couth speech ol these early ’Squires, but
many of them were men of keen in
sight and of intuitive clearness of per
ception.
The new era of Indiana began in 1868.
The Washingtonian temperance move
ment was its harbinger. No such potent
and lasting reform has ever been effected
by any ether agency in the State. It is
true that many, perhaps most, of the origi
nal members "of the Washingtonian So
ciety so far relapsed as to partake of oc
casional needless stimulants, but from the
day of the Washingtonian movement
drinking became discreditable in the rural
districts. Until its advent the adjourn
ment of every term of court was cele
brated by a carousel, in which the jury,
the lawyers, the chief litigants, and often
the Judste, were participants. County con
ventictas were county drunks, and county
elections were orgies.
Tlie Single Goggle Tor Dudes.
Philadelphia Prt*s.
In the show window or an optician’s
store on Twelfth street, above Chestnut,
is the sign, neatly painted on a placard,
: DUDES’ GLASSES.
A tray containing several piles of dif
ferent colored glasses was placed in front
of the sign.
“I would like to see some dudes’
glasses,” said a reporter to a clerk in the
store. The Day was brought from the
window.
“What color do you wish?” said the
salesman, in a matter-01-fact manner,
“brown?—or here is a very nice light
blue, that is becoming very popular.”
“Do people use colored eye-glasses ?”
“Oh, yes; I expect the brown glass to
be verv fashionable this winter.”
“Why?”
‘ Because a young nobleman of the Lord
Rosse party has just set the style for the
society dudes of Philadelphia by wearing
a brown eye-glass in public. The pres
ence of several noble Englishmen, who
nearly all wear the single eye-glass, has
created quite a brisk demand for them.”
“Is there any pretense at having them
adjusted to the sight?”
“Hardly any. It seems to be simply a
question of taste or preference.”
“But calling them dudes’ glasses” —
“Now, you may think some persons
would be offended at the wording of that
sign, but they never appear to be. They
come in boldly and ask for dudes’ glasses
without a falter. That is why I placed
that placard in the window. But dudes
are not my only customers. A great
many persons who would be very much
offended were the term ‘dude’ applied to
them are beginning to use these glasses
under the impression that it gives them a
more distinguished appearance.”
“Do women wear them?”
“Ladies will wear the single eye-glass
very extensively this winter. It is only
yesterdav that i sent my assistant with a
tray of glasses to a fashionable residence
on South Eighteenth street. Three of the
young ladies there purchased glasses. 1
do not know whether they intend wearing
them in public or ou the street, yet you
may see the glass dangling over the cor
sage of very many fashionable women.”

Sweet Potato Vines.
Prof. J. P. Stelle, in Mobile llegister,
premising that there is rather more ol
theory than practice in our statement of
earlier potatoes from old vines than from
the drawbed, says his experience has been
different. He tried it on several occasions
and in every instance his drawbed gave
him earlier and better results. We tried
but one experiment and the difference was
so marked in favor of the old vines that
we supposed it must be so as a rule. We
should like to hear from the farmers gen
erally on this subject, that the value of
old vines might be fully entertained.
How Much Ilice to the Acre.
Strangers who come to Georgia to farm
are always anxious to know how much
corn, cotton, rice or other articles the
land will yield per acre. A short time
ago we alluded to the large yield of cotton
on the 25-acre patch of a gentleman in
Pulaski county, and now we have, through
a Brunswick cotemporary, a report of the
rice yield cn the plantation of Messrs. J.
F. King & Son in Glynn county. Their
crop on 73 acres amounted to 5,400 bushels
the present year or 70 bushels per acre.
Seventeen acres of this field measured out
1,270 bushels, an average of over 75 bush
els per acre, while one acre produced 83%
bushels. Ot course, this was above the
average yield of rice on our coast lands,
but furnishes additional evidence of the
great capacity of the soil and climate un
der favorable conditions. This is the
highest yield of rice for a crop that has
come to our notice under free labor, and
is highly creditable to Mr. E. M. Bailey,
who managed the plantation.
The Greatest Farming Region in the
World.
The watershed of the Mississippi river
and its tributaries cover twenty-two States
and Territories, or more thau half the area
ol the United States, and possesses a
greater capacity for the support of popu
lation than any other territory of equal
extent on the globe. Its steamboat navi
gation is nearly 17,000 miles, while that of
its barges and flafboats reaches over 20,000
miles. Add to this its numerous railroads
and its 25,000,000 ol people would seem to
be pretty well provided with transporta
tion. This great valley alone is capable
of producing ten times the value of all the
present crops of the United States and of
sustaining the population of all America
and Europe combined. One hundred years
hence it will, at the present rate of in
crease, contain a copulation of 125,000,000
or three and a half times the present pop-
ulaliou of the entire Union. Meantime
States east and west of the valley will
keep pace with the great advance, and
the gigantic Republic, with it 9 wonderful
institutions, will be first in power, mate
rial resources and moral and intellectual
influence among the nations of the earth.
A grand country ought to raise grand
men and women, and when so great a fu
ture is so plainly pointed out to them,
there can be no creditable excuse for not
turning to account the present advan
tages.
Good from Drought.
If a “year of hard drought is sure to be
followed by a season of plenty,” provided
“the season be moderately favorable,” we
suppose the farmers, who have just gone
through a “hard” drought, ought to take
comfort. A “moderately favorable sea
son” always gives plenty in this heaven
blessed land, whether preceded or not by
a hard drought, but then the mysteries of
the clouds must be explained by the pro
fessors, and so Prof. Puryear tells us that
a drought has its valuable uses, which
we have never doubted since we discov
ered several years ago that all the mis
takes are in man’s understanding and not
in Nature. He contends that the dryer
the soil the stronger is the tendency of
water to rise from below to the surface,
and as it must come lrom below to the
surface charged with all the soluble ma
terials which it has encountered there,
they are deposited at the surface during
the process of evaporation for the im
provement ot the soil—and hence the sea
son of plenty following in the wake of a
hard drought. Droughts, then, are sea
sons for rest and recuperation ot the soil,
to be followed by seasons of greater plenty.
This is reversing Pnaraoh’s tneorv of the
seven fat and seven lean years; but. the
recorder of those events did not tell us
what kind of seasons followed the seven
lean years, though ve can now see
that they must have been seasons of 'unu
sual plenty to sustain Prof. Puryear’s
theory.
Our Public Highways.
United States Senator, M. C. Butler, ot
South Carolina, has commenced in earn
est his work of investigating the dirt road
question and thus writes to the Charleston
News and Courier:
“Let us visit all the countries ol the
earth,[and wherever we find no facilities
for traveling from a city to a town, or from
a village to a hamlet, we may presume the
people to be barbarians.”
This sentiment was uttered by a French
writer of distinction about the middle of
the 18th century, something more than a
hundred years ago. Now while we have
some “facilities for traveling from a citv
to a town or from a village to a hamlet,”
lam afraid in parts of the country, and
between a number of our “cities aud
towns” and “villages and hamlets,” we
have not such “facilities” as will take us
entirely out of the category embraced in
this sweeping stateint nt. I am sure I
should f. el inclined to resent the imputa
tion of “harbananism” if it should be ap
plied to this locality, and yet if “iacilitiee
for traveling” is to oe construed as refer
ring to public highways, and they are to
be the measure of our advancement in
civilization, I do not see how I could well
escape impeachment. Many of our high
ways are public roads only in name. We
manage to get over them after a fashion,
but they cannot be said to lurnlsh “facili
ties for traveling.” In many places their
location is faulty, their construction worse
and their maintenance superlatively bad;
and it makes one feel like a “barbarian”
or heathen, whatever may be his preten
sions to a civilized existence, every time
he travels over a “chronic case” of bad
road. I have tried to find some way out
of the “old ruts” aud at the same time
adhere to our present system of public
road-working but have not succeeded. I
do not believe there is a way out except
by changing the law. The force provided
by law is strong enough in numbers and
muscle, but the machinery for utilizing
the force is defective and inefficacious. It
does not operate efficiently. You may
bind together an army of the best fighting
material in the world"and, however skill
ful and able the General, without organ
ization and discipline they will be no more
effective in military operations than a
mob. Y'ou may assemble upon the public
highways of South Carolina a hundred
thousand or a hundred and fifty thousand
of the most stalwart laborers to be found,
to work and keep them in repair, and if
there is no other inducement to make
them do their work well than their own
volition and the presence of an overseer
or superintendent, they had almost as
well be at home. There is really no other
inducements under o’ir system, unless
you take Into account the sentiment of
patriotism and the meagre penalties pro
vided in the statute. Patriotism never
worked a road fit for a goat to travel from
the days when the Roman Consuls and
Pnetors made their enduring “ways,” to
the last spasmodic efforts on the Horn’s
Creek Hills in this county. And the
“penalties” have few terrors for the aver
age road hand. We place in the hands of
our Countv Commissioners a huge ma
chine without the power to make it opera
tive, and yet expect them to give us good
roads. They simply cannot do it, if each
one of them was an expert, as accom
plished as Me Adam or Telfour, and would
devote every working day in the year to
this business and no other.
It was a part of my purpose originally
to have given a synopsis of the road laws
of several of the States as well as of our
own, but I and upon an examination of
the statues it would occupy store of your
space than I eould properly ask for, and
I shall, therefore, content myself with the
leading features of our own statutes and
such reference to others as occasion may
require. I was in hopes by this time to
have had the number of miles of uublic
roads in this State, but as yet very few
replies have bevn made by the several
boards of County Commissioners to the
questions that 1 took the liberty of sub
mitting some time since. The process of
procuring the information appeals to me
very simple.- Every county As divided
into “road distnats.” Overseers are ap
pointed over every section of the road and
of course each knows how many miles he
has under his supervision. So that it
would only be necessary to get returns
from the overseers and add them up. I
do not care that the reports be more than
approximately correct, for my purpose in
asking this information is to form some es
timate (which can only be approximate) of
the cost of maintenance under a given plan.
And my interrogations about bridges and
ferries were propounded with the same
view. However, I have no doubt this in
formation will be forthcoming in due time,
and in the meantime (in my next commu
nication) I will address myself to theeon
sideratim of our own statutes.
In the interest of an intelligent consid
eration of this question it would be very
desirable to know how many persons are
liable to road duty lu South Carolina.
Taking out the inhabitants of cities and
towns, who are not liable, but are taxed
either in their personsor property, or both
for the expenses of the municipality, the
number of road hands ought to be almost
equal to the number of voters outside of
incorporated limits; but more on this
branch of the subject hereafter.
1 am fully alive to the difficulties in my
path in the treatment of this subject. I
realize how the consideration of any eco
nomic question in this and other Southern
States is embarrassed and complicated by
the heterogeneousness ol the population;
one class paying a large portion of the
taxes and the other very little, yet all
sharing alike the benefits of public expen
ditures or improvements.
lam fully conscious of how prone our
people are to regard with distrust propo
sitions looking to the abandonment of old
and time-honored methods, or mase inno
vations upon settled customs and habit3,
and bow jealously they watch any move
ment likely to result in an increase of tax
ation. This is as it should be. It is right
and proper that we scrutinize closely the
imposing of taxes and appropriations of
public money, for in that way alone can
we have a pure and economic administra
tion of our government. Igo further, and
say that no change of law is justifiable
that is not sanctioned by sound reason
and the exigencies of the public, and no
increase in taxation is justifiable over
and above the actual demands of the pub
lic service that cannot be clearly shown
to be attended by compensatory advan
tages to the people.
1 appreciate in their most emphatic Im
port all these difficulties and many more,
but a frank discussion of a great question
like this can result in no harm. The need
of improvement and reformation is ad
mitted on all sides. It Is purely an eco
nomic question and has no elements that
can give it a political or party complexion
and on that account is more worthy of the
best thought and earnest reflection of
every citizen who has an interest in the
improvement and advancement ol his
State, and the elevation and comfort and
healthful progress of mankind. For my
self I can hope to do more than call pub
lic attention to a matter of vital Import
ance to every man, woman and child in
the State. If I succeed in doing that and
get them to thinking about It, and in the
smallest degree promote among the people
a more thorough introspection,so to speak,
and examination into our countless re
sources and possibilities of development,
1 shall be more than compensated for
whatever of labor, time and reflection I
may have bestowed upon this road ques
tion. The people at last must settle it for
themselves. My interest is theirs and
theirs is mine. So that whatever solution
is made, if any, let it be made in a spirit
of candor, and with the single aim to pub
lic prosperity.
Farm ami Stock Notes.
Victor Hugo has written, “The beauti
ful is as useful as the useful, perhaps
more so.” The truth of this saying be
comes more apparent upon reflection than
most people suppose. The associations
of flowers, of pleasing verdure, of breezy
landscapes, of works of art, are inter
woven with our natures to an almost in
credible extent, even in the case of those
who professedly disclaim any love for the
beautiful. AVitb the little ornament com
monly seen about farmers’ houses, most
farmers are more in sympathy than they
themselves suppose, and were it suddenly
taken away with no possibility of its being
returned they would miss it more than
they are aware.
The soil may be deficient in one sub
stance and abounding in another. It may
be considered rich when sown to a certain
crop and be too poor for another. A
knowledge of this fact has enabled chem
ists to formulate special fertilizers for pe
culiar soils and particular crops, which
enables farmers to economize in purchas
ing dv avoiding the use of substances that
exist’in the soil, the saving in such pur
chases being applied to rocuring that
which i? deficient. No two plants derive
the same proportions of food from the soil
nor do any two varieties feed on exactly
the same kind of fertilizing material. For
instance, clover prefers a liberal supply
of potash and lime, while the cereals do
better with phosphoric acid and nitrogen.
The whole philosophy of autumn plant
ing of fruit trees may be summed ut) In a
few brief sentences. Iu autumn the soil
is warmer than the air, and hence the
roots are stimulated to action while the
buds are dormant. The consequence is,
the roots are enabled to take hold of the
soil and gets es.abiished before the swell
ing of the buds call for any hard work
from the roots. In spring the air is warmer
than the soil, and hence if a tree is plant
ed then, the buds are stimulated in ad
vance of the roots, and unless the condi
tions are very favorable to root growth,
as the dryer weather of summer comes on
the top of the tree calls for moisture faster
than the roots can supply it, 60on shows
signs of failing and, without extra care,
dies.
A badly bred sheep may revert to the
original type, in which the wool is noth
ing but coarse hair, having merely the
felting property only of true wool; and
such a sheep will have a fleece that is part
hair and part wool. This hair is called
kemp and seriously injures the wool, not
only by its presence in it, but also because
it cannot be separated and it will not take
the color in dyeing. It is thus one of the
worst of all the defects wool is subject to.
It is found on the shoulder, the flank or
in the wrinkles of Moriuo sheep, and is
more common on this breed than upon
others. It is a fatal defect in rams, bed
cause a kempy ram will produce kempy
lambs, which may be -worse than himself,
and the defect is very apt to increase by
inheritance. This defect knocks off' one
half the value from a fleece.— Laniger, in
New York Tribune.
A country house that has a certain
amount of draping with vines always
looks attractive. A stoop or piazza is a
fitting place for the creeping beauties.
The Gardeners' Monthly says that the
vines should always be kept cut down lie
low the roof. “It is little trouble to do this
once a year, but we cannot get even our
shoes blackened without some trouble.
Those who know how beautiful and how
cosy looks a vine-covered cottage will not
object to the few hours’ labor it requires
to keep vines from stopping up the gutter.
Vines really make a wall dry. The mil
lions of rootlets by which they adhere to
the wall absorb water, and an examina
tion will prove a vine-covered wall to be
as ‘dry as an old bone.’ One great advan
tage o'f a vine-covered cottage, not often
thought of, is that it is cooler in summer
and warmer in winter than when there is
but a mere naked wall.
To know how to obtain the best results
in honey from bees, the bee-keeper must
understand the principle of their gather
inland “ripening” the honey. It is well
known that all the nectar, as brought in
from the bloom is merely a thin, sweet
liquid, and that before it can properly be
called honey it must undergo a process of
evaporation and nearly all the water be
expelled from it. This is done, to a great
extent, during the night time. Now, a
colony that is capable of bringing in from
ten to fifteen pounds a day, must have a
large space of comb to spread it in, in
order to evaporate it rapidly, for it k> found
that if they have such space they will put
a small quantity in each cell; then as it
becomes ripened, or sufficiently evapo
rated, it is gathered in the comb, com
pacted and sealed over. This will be
clearly understood by supposing that if a
person should put a gallon of water in a
crock or similar vessel, and another gal
lon in a large, shallow dish, like a drip
ping pan, the latter would evaporate much
the quickest, other conditions being the
same. This goes to show that a hive of
bees having a large surplus or storing
chamber, will store more honey than one
having a small space.
HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
Dried Bark or Sassafras Root put
xp around dried fruit will protect it from
worms.
Remove Ink Stains on silk, woolen or
cotton by saturating with spirits of tur
psntine.
Clean Tea or Coffee Cups with
securing brick; it makes them look as
good as new.
Cream cures sunburn on some com
plexions, lemon juiee on others and cold
water still others best.
Remove flower-pot stain from window
sills by rubbing with fine wood ashes and
riuse with clean water.
Cover Plants with a newspaper be
fore sweeping. Also put a little ammonia
upon them ouce a week.
Mixtures of two parts of glycerine,
one part ammonia and a little rose water
whiten and soften the hands.
Washing pine- floor in solution of one
pound of copperas dissolved in one gallon
of strong lye gives oak color.
Ku> Shoes can be kept soft and free
from cracks by rubbing them once a week
with pure glycerine or castor oil.
Tough Meat may be made as tender as
any by the addition of a little vinegar to
the water when it is put on to boil.
Corn Husks braided make a service
able and handsome mat. The braids to
be sewed with sack-cable and twine.
Hemorrhage of the lungs or stomach
may’ be quickly stopped by small doses of
salt or half-teaspoonful doses of powdered
charcoal every half hour.
Cabbage is made digestible by first
slicing, and then putting in boiling water
with a pinch of soda and some salt, and
boiling just fifteen minutes.
A Porcelain-lined Kettle that, will
no longer serve for fruit is just the thing
for the corn loaf. A three or four quart
fruit can answers well the same purpose.
A half bushel of lime and eight
pounds of powdered sulphur make a
whitewash for trees and outbuildings to
kill insect s. Put some on chicken roosts.
In Neuralgia of the Stomach, take
half a teaspoonlul of alcohol in a little
water, as strong as it can be swallowed,
and apply an alcohol pack as directed
above.
For Fresh Cuts, Burns and Wounds
of all kinds where the skiixis broken, ap
ply at once copal varnish, and keep the
parts thoroughly wet with it, and there
will be no pain, blistering nor soreness.
To Purify Cistern Water, put a peck
of charcoal in a bag and hang it in the
water; it will take up all bad oder. Put
6ome in the sink and keep it over the
screen, and no bad smell, will come from
it.
Ordinary newspapers are very imper
vious to cold. If apples are to be shipped
during winter, line the barrels with two
or three thicknesses of paper, and the
apples will rarely freeze, il properly pro
tected.
When a Felon first begins, a sure
remedy is to apply a piece of soft kid over
the part affected, in which is cut or
punched a hole as large as a split mar
rowfat pea. Over the part left bare apply
a fly blister, double strength, until it draws
a heavy blister as large as the hole, when
the felon is cured.
Tickles are unhealthy as articles of
food and often cause acute dyspepsia.
Young ladles addicted to their free use
may be assured that they must certainly
part with their favorite dainty or bid fare
well to good digestion. Cucumbers pre
pared with salt a fid vinegar are next to
impossible of digestion.

BITS OF SCIENCE.
A strong decoction of the leaves and
stems of tomato plants is said to be deadly
c,o cateipillare, lice and other enemies of
vegetation without bel jg injurious to the
plants. ' -- - _
A recent estimate, made by means of a
very intricate testing apparatus, places
the rate at which an electric dot travels
over a telegraph wire at 16,000 miles per
second.
M. E. Bergman has observed that formic
and acetic acid occur in the protoplasm
of all the plants he examined for them,
being found in the colorless cells and in
the green tissues; and he considers it
probable that several other acids of tLe
fatty series are equally diffused in the
vegetable kingdom.
Layers of paper or paper pulp, formed
Into a corrugated sheet, with a lining of
asbestos to bear on the hot surface, is a
new form of boiler lagging aud is well
spoken of, The intention is to make air
spaces between the boiler and the lagging
and yet have a strong covering which will
prevent the radiation of heat.
Herr C. Schneider, of Dresden, has in
vented a dry galvanic battery. It con
sists of two cylinders, the large? on? of
copper and the inner or smu”CT one- of
amalgamated zinc. Both cylinders are
open at each end and the space between
them is filled in with a mixture of plaster
of Paris and a saturated solution of chlo
ride of zinc containing 7 per cent, of
chloride of sodium.
Railroad cars are indicated by Judge
Lawrence Johnson, of Holly Springs,
Miss., as vehicles by which destructive
moths are carried from one part of the
country to another. In traveling last year
he w’as often struck by the numbers of
Aletioaon the trains; and he observes
that there was a sort of coincidence last
season between lines of railroad and abun
dance of cotton worms.
The moulting of the shell of the horse
shoe crab is described in the American
Naturalist for October. In this animal
the shell splits open around the front
edge, and when the animal draws itself
through the rent it appears as if it were
spewing Itself out of its shell. On the
other hand, the lobster, in casting its
shell, draws itself through a rent along
the tack of the carapace.
The wild duck is probably the most de
structive of all the enemies of the trout,
for it confines itself entirely to feeding on
their spawn. Always a glutton, when a
duck finds the spawning beds of trout in
the small streams that feed the main
water, it will soon devour thousands of
eggs and shovel the entire contents of the
breeding places into its stomach if not
molested. One flock of wild ducks can
easily destroy the entire breeding pros
pects of any trout stream in a short time.
On walking upon or disturbing the sand
of certain beaches a peculiar sound is
heard, which has been described as some
what resembling the bark of a dog. The
sound seems to arise from the friction of
particles of dry sand. Until receutly
these so-called siuging beaches have been
known to exist at only two places, one in
Europe and one in this country, but sam
ples of the singing sands have now been
collecfed in no less than twenty-six local
ities in the United States.
Writing to a German newspaper, a vic
tim of Dultonianism, or color blindness,
protests against the tendency to the ex
clusion of the so-called color blind from
lives of activity in which the recog
nition of color is an element. He de
clares tnat, although the sensations
are different, persons afflicted with Dal
tonianism possess a distinct recognition
of the different bands of the spectrum,
and are consequently as capable of dis
tinguishing color signals from each other
as persons with normal vision.
M. Plateau gives the tollowing account
of an interesting experiment: A flower,
in shape like a lily, with six petals, was
made in outline with thin irou wire, the
wire being first dipped in nitric acid and
preoxidized. The llower is next dipped
into a glycerine soap solution and, when
withdrawn, the petals were covered with
films of the solution. It was now in an
upright position placed under a bell-glass
and soon beautiful colors appeared. If
the solution is right the films will last for
hours and there will be a continued play
of color over the flower.
Advice to Hotnera.
Mrs. Winslow’s soothing Strup
snouid always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
ierer at once: lt produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “ bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
tor diarrhoea, whether arising from teeth
ing or ether causes. 25 oents a bottle.

“Dfi. J. DradiHELd—Dear Sir: For a long’

that terrible disease known as BLIND PILES,
and having tried all the remedies I could hear
of, was induced by yourself to use PRYOR’S

one box permanently cured me, and in
eight years it has never returned. I give
this certificate voluntarily, and earnestly
