A MISSOURI IVjRPK STORY.
A Wood-Sawyer Who Knew How to
Hau-tie the Caret*.
ft. I 'ntiM Olobe- Deirtrrrct.
A gsoa story conies from Troy, Lincoln j
county, which is told at the expense ot a !
landlord, whose ieve for tne exciting game -
of poker caused him to part w ith a well !
filh-d w allet one night during last week, j
Having ordered a load or two of cord- I
wood from a fanner, the latter in due i
time delivered the 6ame in lront of h'is j
customer’s residence, when not long alter :
.* setsly looking individual came along
armed with a saw and buck and securing
tbe job went to work in dead earnest, for
which he was to receive the munificent
sum ol sl. Accomplishing tbe task just
as the bell rang for supper he was asked (
to partake ol tbe meal, which
invitation he accepted witboet
mui-h pressing. Supper over
he was paid the dollar for tne wood job,
and loitering around the store he heard
his beneiactor invite several friends
there to join bim in a friendly game of
poker, to which they readily assented.
The heaver of wood looked complaccutly
on the game for a time, and addressfnt
himself to tbe host requested the priv- i
lege of taking a hand, saying that a!- j
though apparently destitute he would
blow in the dollar, and adding that cards
w. re the* cause ot his present degraded
position in society. All advice on the i
part of the players for the fellow to bold .
on to his only dollar proved unavailing !
and finally he was admitted to the game.
In a short time he iound his winnings
swelled to S;Vo, when, exasperated, one
of the party raised the pot to 1200, think
ing by That means to freeze the fellow
out. Uoiug down ia his boot-leg he pulled
forth a roil ard covering the bet soon
found, to the dismay of the crowd, that
the “boodle” was again his. A scene
followed which at one time promised to
become a cause celtbre at Troy, but the
cheek of the woodsawver carried him
successfully out ol the woods. He was
surrounded by the crowd aud threatened
with death, arrest, cremation, pulverizing
and even a dose of dynamite did he not
return the money. Did he not? Not a
bit of It, but drawing a pair of Smith A
Wesson’s he defied them ail, and threat
ened the “whole crew” with arrest tor
running a gambling house. No arrests
were made, aud the slick gent, taking the
train for St. Louis, bade tbe Trojans a
gentle “ta-ta, au revoir,” until next
lime.
Animal Fighting in Cbiua.
Ne>c York <
Though the denizens of the Celestial
Empire jirohibit all entertainments in
•vhiob human beings may be injured, they
1-ave no objection to fights in w hich the
I irticipants are animals. Religious per
s >ne, especially strict Buddhists who be
lieve in the transmigration of souls, are
strong opiionents of these sport*, but the
mtn in China patronize them extensively.
In every great city such as Canton, Foc-
Ciiow, Pekin and Ke-Lttng there are huu-
I dreds of sporting men who make their
! livelihood from these events.
Fighting turtles are of two classes,
cither the mud or snapping turtle. They
ire caught and regularly trained. They
wrefed with raw meat and a drug thut
cor; espo nds wita the “loco” of Texas. In
six mouths the turtle becomes savage and
igly, and will fight and bite on the small
est provocation. To increase its bellicose
powers, the jaws and teeth are carefully
filed and sand-papered until Its mouth is
made almost into & series of razors and
aeedles. Kaeh day its trainer teases it
with cotton and wool until it is ex
cited into a perfect frenzy and bites the
training instruments into small frag
ments. Six months’ training puts it iu
good ti-'hting condition. Young and and
old turtles are valueless. A middle
aged turtle—that is, one of 7 or 8 years—
is tne best, tv hen the fight comes" off the
turtles have been starved and teased for
a week, aud are as ugly as may be im
agined. Each is handled by its ow n train
er, and is teased and tickled until it is in
a violent rage. It is then placed In a
small ring with its antagonist, and the
fun begins. The fight is always to the
dt-ath. A throat hold means victory.
Generally the legs are the main points of
attack, and oft< u both reptiles w ill lose a
foreleg in tbe first round. Their vitality
is so great that after a head is almost bit
ten off it wiil turn and seize a leg or tail
and bite as if nothing had happened.
These fights la6t from one to ten hours,
anu are always largely attended by men
and boys.
In the western provinces wildcats are
quite common. They resemble tbe Ameri
can wildcat, but are larger and fiercer.
They are usually caught when youug,
and are bt ought up so as to develop their
fighting qualities. A good commentary
upon their training is their market value.
W hen kittens they bring about ono tael
($1 40); at one year they are worth tour
taels, and at two and a half they com
mand trom ten to twenty. • They are
matched against their own species, and
at times against dogs, about the same
general type as our bull terriers. The
tight is bloodv and horrible.
Iu some cities the contest is made more
exciting and terrible by putting metal
siudded collars around the necks or the
two cats. The tight is then resolved into
a matter of endurance, and frequently
lasts five hours. When a wildcat is
matched against a bull terrier, the result
is very uncertain. If the dog catches the
cat by the nose, thr-at, or leg he usually
wins. But if the cat gets on his back,
which is often the case, the dog has a
hopeless light. After repeated attempts
to dislodge his foe, he succumbs from loss
of blood and absolute fatigue.
Lock fighting in China resembles that
in the United States. The rules are about
the same, but tbe gaffs are often more
dead y. Instead of representing the nor
mal shape or the bird’s weaimn, they are
made with two or three points and with
edges like razors. Under such circum
stances a fight is frequently determined
in a few minutes. In Pe-Lhe-Ei the beak
is sometimes 9bod with pointed steel, and
no gall's are employed. Unless the eye or
throat is struck the fight is long and mo
notonous, the birds being covered with
blood in two minutes. They are also
stimulated to increased effort by being
fed with grain soaked in no-ma-dai-o, a
liquor corresponding to whisky. Fight
ing or game cocks are very v aluable in
China, and have been bred for genera
tions. Those of Foc-Chow are the most
valuable, and possess few qualities save
those of great beauty and reckless cour
age. They rante in price from a half tael
70 cents) to oO taels according to
the strain from which they come. The
best have pedigrees longer than those of
our great horses and dogs.
Male rats are very pugnacious, espe
cially in the spring. They are fed light
ly during the winter months, and with
raw meats and fishbones. In March and
April they a r e in condition, and, with a
little excitement, become very terocious.
Thcv are usually fought in a small ring,
not "m ire than three teet in diameter.
Tneso fights are sharp and short, seldom
listing more than twenty minutes. Each
tries to strike the other on the throat, just
behind the ear, and when ho succeeds
death follows. . . .
These rats are also fought against dogs
and cats. Generally these combats are un
interesting, the rat having an instinctive
fear Of both these animals. At times,
however, when well trained, they B hovv
tight, and often have been known to kill
the luckless cat or dog put into the pit
against them. , ,
Quails, strange to say, are also good
fighters. In the spring and fall they de
velop a pugilistic instinct altogether in
tcresting. They fight with beak, wing
and cla-v. The Lhiuese sport sharpens
the beak to a needle point, trims the w ing
and wing feathers until they are a scries ot
need lea, aud works the claws into similar
sharpness. In these tights the hen qua
is never used. Tb**y are good-natured and
affectionate. Tne cock, however, is very
bellicose, and strikes out until he 19 dead
or disabled. He differs from the game
cock in his style of work. Two cocks
stand up, peek, dodge and gaff, and Hh* u
endeavor each to strike the ol*Jsr with the
trimmed wings. A successful blow means
temporary ker . Sometimes,
v ictory for the happy ™ ,, h ’
especially when women are

Toliacr-o Culture.
The cultivation of tobacco seems to be
attracting unusual attention in tk€i“outh,
stimulated, perhaps, by the numerous re
cent publications, claiming a greater
prosperity for the tobacco farmers of Vir
ginia, Kentucky and North Carolina than
for any ether class of farmers. There are
indications that the tobacco area will be
extended southward this season and, in
anticipation of that event, the agricultu
ral press is busying itself telling tbe
planters how to cultivate it. Not long
since we wrote on the same subject and
will only say here that all the Southern
States are adapted to the growth ot this
plant and many sections cultivated it
years ago, but, as usual, everybody rushed
into the new industry, then encouraged
by fancy prices, and, as a matter of
course, the market was soon glutted and
the high prices a thing of the past. We
remember that during our boyhood a
farmer by the name of Bweatman, in
Thomas county, Ga., suco-*eded in mar
keting a small crop at such high prices
that It spread a mania over the c-untry
for tobacco culture which crossed the
Florida line and established the Industry
in Gadsden county, whero it has contin
ued in a more or less flourishing condition
ever since. As the more profitable ard
interesting industry ol truok farming,
however, has now been introduced into
that region, it is not probable that the
farmers there will return to the cultiva
tion of tobacco, especially in localities
conveniently situated for the shipment of
fruits and vegetables. But there are nu
merous localities without this conve
nience and, as tobacco is a crop that gains
by age, can wait to advantage and will
bear hauling a much greater distance
over country roads, it may prove a profi
table addition to the variety of crops al
ready cultivated by the farmers in such
localities.
The seeds arc sown in April in this lati
tude, usually in old ash heaps where logs
hava been burnt, or they may bo sown in
ordinary beds like cabbages or mustard
and fertilized with ashes. When four or
more leaves appear the plants may be set
out three or four feet apart both in rows
and hills, according to tbe strength of tbe
soil, w hlch should be high and dry, though
the plants must be well watered through
out the dry or hot season. As they must
be “wormed” with skill and absolute cer
tainty every day, space between the plants
sufficient to permit tbe passage of a grown
person is a necessity i a order to avoid
breaking off the great leaves during tbe
search for worms or the eggs of the par
ent moth.
Ail our fertile saudy lands, vchether
pine or hammock, are well adapted to the
growth of the plaut, but the hummock or
swamp is the best, and the richer the bet
ter. Rough, fresh cleared swamp lands,
if not too wet, may be utilized the first
year in the production of a orop of to
bacco; but tbe soil should be broken as
much as possible aud all root organiza
tions therein destroyed with certainty if
the best results are expected.
Tbe processes of watering and worming
can be executed as efficiently by women
and children as by men, and such labor
being abundant about towns and cities, it
would be a work of philanthropy to sffo:d
them such an opportunity for remunera
tive employment. Their services could
also be again employed in the easy work
ot gathering and preparing tbe crop for
market.
Setting Out Fruit Trees.
If this is to be done why not do it
promptly? In March the sap will begin
to rise in many species and the opportu
nity will be lost for another year. Did
you say you have been intending for sev
eral y*-ars to put out an orchard but some
how could not find time to do it ? We have
heard this often among farmers and felt
sorry that they so little understood their
own interests. What inteiest can be
more important to the average farmer
than a well managed orchard? The very
health and happiness of his family de
mand wholesome fruits as a part of the
daily food; and the farmer who neglects
this branch ol his business cuts off a large
proportion of his revenues. What can
give an intelligent man more pleasure
than the care of an orchard flowering ami
fruiting in due season and crowding his
board with the most fragrant and deli
cious of foods? Men usually come back
to this and appreciate it as they grow old,
as if nature designed to reawaken their
dormant affinity for agricultural pursuits,
iu order to withdraw them from the vain
struggle of ambition and to give mental
quietude and reflection before death. But
why not do this noble piece of work in the
days of youth, when it could be earned
to so much greater perfection? If old
men who have wheedled away half their
days chasing phantoms of fortune in other
fields, at last find rest and consolation in
this, what magnitude might we not give
to the sturdy, reflective, simple charac
ters of those who pursue it intelligently
from youth to old age? A good orchard
is one-third the value of the farm, why
put it off for another year? If you should
“sell out” It would greatly increase the
price, and if you retain the farm it will
greatly increase the food supply and fur
nish a surplus for the market, large or
small, according to your ambition and
industry.
All the apples, pears, peaches, apricots,
plums, cherries, mulberries, etc., will do
just as well set out in February as in any
other month oi the year, and also in March
if the weather has not turned warm enough
to start the sap.
Pruning Hoses.
The llevue llorhcole, referring to an ar
ticle which appeared in tbe Journal des
Hoses, from the pen of M. Viviand Morel,
offers to its readers the following state
ments, which M. Morel deduces from well
observed facts:
1. If in the spring some rose bashes aro
pruned and, on the contrary, some others
are ullawed to remain without any sup
pression ot the branches, the latter will
come into bloom about a fortnight before
the others; their flowers will be more nu
merous and at tbe 6ame time less beauti
ful. , . ,
2. If some rose bushes are completely
pruned, and upon some others are left
only some twigs, these latter will have the
same advance in time oi bloom.
3. If two rose bushes aro pruued alike,
one at the end of September and tbo other
in February, the one piuned in autumn
will flower first.
4. If, toward the middle of September,
the branches of a rose bush are laid down
Horizontally, and those of another bush
in exactly the same condition are left in
tbe natural position, and in the spring,
both be pruned alike, the bush with the
tranches laid down will bloom first.
5. In pruning rose bushes before vege
tation starts, that is to say, in February,
bloom on them w ill be obtained in advance
of that which will appear on bushes pruned
later. *
fl. Pinching the young shoots, as they
start on blishes after pruning, retards
blooming very much. In this case the
piuching should be done before the flower
buds appear, or when the young shoots
have only three or lour leaves.
Correction.
In our article last week, “A Good Word
For the Sand Pear,” the printer by mis
take made u* call it “Land Pear.”
Corn should never be fed alone. The
fanner who does so is not economical.
Corn produces fat but is deficient In ni
trogen and the phosphates. A mixture
I of corn, oats and buckwheat (ground?,
and linseed or cotton-seed meal added,
will give better results in proportion to
quantity than double tbe same amount of
corn fed alone.
Economy of Shf*ep Raising.
The reason why sheep are regarded ns
the most profitable animals to raise is be
cause they afford a “double Income,”
says the Lice Slock Journal , in tbe an
nual production ol lambs and wool; and
in the fact stated fey Sir J. B. Lawes, that
they will utilize \i% |>er cent. f dry for
age, while cattle utilize only St* per ceat.
Thus B>i pounds ol dry food increased the
weight of sheep us much as 12t 4 pounds
did the weight of cattle. This shows,
then, that not only will a given amount oi
dry food produce more mutton than beef,
but will give the annwal income of wool
besides. Add to this that the manure of
sheep is more concentrated as a fertilizer ,
and better than that of other animals,
with infinitely better distribution upon
the soil; and tbe argument is all in favor
of the sheep.
Something To Think About.
As an instance of the inferior product
of American pou ; try as compared with
that of France, a country where poultry
rearing is carried on very ►killtully,
Henry Stewart gives the following fig
nres: Tne number of fowls kept in France
is 43,858,780; the average product of chick
ens reared is three to each hen, ar.d the
average product of eggs per hen is lOOper
year. The total money p-oduct is slOl,-
1)00,000. According to tbe la vt census the
number of fowls iu the United States is
102,272,135; the product of chickens is not
given, but if it is in proportion to the yield
of eggs it would be about three to every
two hens, the average yield of eggs being
54 to each hen. The different reports are
probably near the truth, judging from the
prevalent opinion here that “hens are poor
stock,” while the French woman, with
her industrious and ben-compelling ways,
makes friends of her poulets and cherishes
them as she does her love letters, which
she also calls by the same word, while
the estimation in which she holds her
pullets may be realized by the name she
gives them", which is poulctte, and means
not only a pullet but a darling. Thus giv

FARM AND STOCK NOTES.
Aliout 100 bushels of wood ashes per
•acre are a lair proportion to apply on light
soils.
Hard subsoils serve to arrest and retain
escaping fertilising material, but are
usually cold and late in advancing crops.
Seedlings are apt to succeed l*egt where
they originate, hence the many disap
pointments when varieties are transferred
to other sections.
Rice is one of the best substances for
fattening fowls quickly. Boiled and
mixed with ground cats and corn meal it
cannot be excelled.
Coarse and unpalatable feed, such ns
straw and fodder, may be advantageously
used by passing it through a cutter, moist
ening aud sprinkling it with bran and
meal.
The two principal errors most common
in the management of poultry are: First,
allowing too many fowls to mass together;
second, neglecting to keep the bouse and
\ aids as clean and disinfected as they
should be.
An Ohio fruit grower revived a seem
ingly dead pear tree by spading half a
peck of salt into the ground around the
tree. The tree Improved tbe second and
third years, and has since borne a heavy
crop of fruit.
It has been discovered recently by med
ical men that “lump-jaw,” as it is called,
or lumps found on the jaws of cattle, are
sometimes caused by decayed teeth. It
is not known how much the poor brutes
suffer with the toothache.
An exchange says: By proper grading
up muca time can be saved iu the earlier
maturity of iat sheep. A grade that re
quires three years to fully develop oy a
couple of crosses with a Down will be
ready for market in 20 months.
Prof. H. Munk, a worker of some emi
nence in agricultural chemistry, says that
moderate muscular exercise on the part
of cows increases the yield of milk, but
that violent motion hinders the process of
milk secretion. Dairy farmers may turn
his remarks to profit.
The following is tbe new’ remedy for
blackleg in cattle, and it is said to be ex
cellent: Add to 100 pounds cf salt 10
pounds of sulphur, 6 pouuds copperas, 3
pounds saltpetre aud 3 pints ot slaked
lime. Mix aud feed iu the same manner
as when feeding salt.
Sir J. B. Laws says that a given weight
of nitrogen, in the form of nitric acid,
vyill produce more growth in the crop to
which it is applied than the same weight
of nitrogen iu manure, but the influence
of the nitrogen upm succeeding crops
will be very much Icbs.
The milk of a cow in her third or fourth
calf is generally richer in quality than a
younger one, and will continue so tor
several years. In dry seasons tne quality
is generally richer, although cool weather
favors tbe" production of cheese. Hot
weather increases the yield of butter.
The best fertilizer for an orchard is pot
ash, either in the form of wood ashes or
as sulphate of potash. Trees, however,
will be benefited by superphosphate and
manure, but the best results aro obtained
when potash is used as the principal in
gredient in the fertilizers on the soil lor
an orchard.
In a great many instances diseases of
root crops arise from the use of unfer
mented or partially rotted manure. If
only well-rotted manure is used there
will be less liability oi tbe crops being
affected with rot. This has been particu
larly noticed in the cases of botli white
and sweet potatoes.
The best cows are of a medium size, as
a rule, and have a good strong frame, but
they should not be large boned and rough
looking, for such cows are large eaters
and their food does not seem to do them
as much good, cither for flesh or milk, as
it does when fed to smaller cows with a
more compact iraiue.
Mr. Angell says that blinders were in
vented by an Englishman to hide a defect
in the eye of a valuable horse; then they
were found to be a good place for display
ing trade-marks of nobility, and so came
into fashion. The New - York Tribune
thinks that “They should be reformed off
of harness in democratic America,” where
coats-of-arms are marks of snobbery, and
not trade-marks of au aristocratic no
bility.
Avery remarkable ease of glander poi
soning occurred a few miles north of Mor
rison, 111., Monday. Mr. Wellington Cono
way, who has been caring for a horse sick
with tbe glanders, became afflicted with
the same loathsome disease. The flesh
literully dropped off in chunks from the
face of "Conoway and his oldest boy. They
both died. Mr. llarvoy Conoway, brother
to the tormer, is sick. The symptoms are
the same and it is feared that he will also
succumb to the terrible disease.
Lampblack mixed with strong vinegar
will mark sheep so that the name can be
read for a year, but will not injure the
wool, as is often done when sheep are
marked w tb tar or paint. The English
practice was to slit or notch the ears, a
mark requiring a quick eye to detect in a
flock, but which onoe made lasted a life
time. By changing the places on the ear,
using one or both, and varying tbe shape
of tbe cut, a great number of marks cun
be made to identify the property of dif
ferent owners.
It is not often we find more truth in
fewer words than in the following from
the American Cultivator: “Seldom do we
find a man successful in any business en
terprise outside of his own legitimate oc
cupation. Life is not long enough to
master the essentials of half a dozen
callings. Better for a farmer to handle
his own surplus money In improvements
on his own premises than to trust it to
someone else with less judgment and ex
perience to manage. Better for an indi
vidual to sticx to that which he knows ab
about than to be tempted into an unknown
enterprise by alluring promises of glitter
ing gains. Better to be one’s own presi
dent, treasurer and board of director* and
draw all the salaries, rather than to listen
to designing schemers who want capital
for mining, boring for oil or raising cattle
among toe blizzards and snowdrilts. He
who entrusts his surplus cash with stran
gers thousands of miles away, in the hope
of magnificent dividends, seldom gets back
the original investment.”

KOCSEHOLD NOTES.
A Home-made Btuca8 tuca which rivals sssns
“bougbtea” ones is made ot a wineglass
of port wine, one oi walnut and one of
tomato catsup, an onion and one dessert
spoonful of curry powder; let this mix
ture boil for two or three minutes; when
cold put it into a bottle and keep it well
corked.
Beets, if small,can besliced and dressed
with gravy, just as young beets in the
spring are served, "with ft little milk
and butter, pepper and salt, and flour
enough to thicken. Beets can be arranged
prettily as a garnish for pickled tongue
by cutting them into thin slices and cut
ting the edge with tbe cooky cutter.
A very good way to make caper
sauce, to serve with roast mutton : About
a quarter of an hour before the meat is
done melt two tableepoontuls of butter in
a saucepan, stir into it one tablespoonful
of flour, then add half a pint of the mut
ton broth,, half a pint of milk, season with
pepper and salt: cook until the flour is
thoroughly done, then just before serving '
ado two and a half tablespoonfuls of ca
pers. When melting the butter i* it
slowly, for if it gets brown or scorched
the flavor of the sauce will be spoiled.
A Recipe fop. Ckctleb*.—Twoccffee
cups of sugar, one of sweet milk, three
cage, a heaping tablespoonlul of butter,
three teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
mixed with six cups of flour, half a nut
meg and a teaspoonful of cinnamon. Beat
the eggs ? butter and sugar together, add
milk, spices and flour;~pnt another cup
of flour on the kueading-board, pour the
dough out upon it and knead un*il you
can roll it out to a quarter of aD inch in
thickness; cut this into squares, making
three or four incisions in each square;
drop into hot lard and fry as you do dough
nuts.
A Light Pudding is made of one pint
of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der aid a little salt, with milk enough to
make a thin batter. Butter some cups
and set them into the steamer, and put a
large spoonful of the b itter into each cup
and then a spoonful of jam; cover the
jam with another spoonful of batter and
let tbe puddiug steam for from twenty
minutes to half an hour. Make a sauce
ot two eggs, a tablespoonful of butter and
one cup of sugar; beat them together and
pour over them one cup of boiling milk.
This pudding is delicious with fresh fruit,
berries or peaches.
Directions for making a “tipsy” cake:
Take a sponge cake that is not less than
three days old. It tbe bottom of it is not
entirely smooth make it so, to enable it to
stand firmly in the dish. Make a small
hole in the centre aud pour into it and
over the cake enough sweet wine to soak
the cake nicely. When the cake is soft
blanch two ounces ©f almonds and cut
each into four stripe; stick these all over
the surface of the cake, then pour around
it a rich custard; one pint of milk will be
about enough and from five to eight eggs.
It you wish to cover the top of the cake
with a meringue ase eight yelks fer the
custard and the whites of two eggs, aDd
reserve the rest of the whites for the top,
adding four tablespoonfule of powdered
sugar and flavoring to suit your taste.
Cauliflower makes a pretty side-dish
if boiled whole, and then put stem down
in a round vegetable dish; but it is ne
cessary that a vigilant and keen eye
should look the calillower over before
cooking it, for there is danger of finy In
sects being k'tt on the stalk; it should be
Carefuliy Crashed over. Heads that are
not perfect can be cut into small pieces
and be baked. The cauliflower should be
put into an earthen pudding-dish, in lay
ers, with hard-boiled eggs chopped and
seasoned with a dressing made of half a
pint of milk, with two tablespoonfuls of
flour rubbed smooth In a little of the milk,
to teaspoonfuls of salt, ono of white
pepper and about two ounces of butter;
puc grated bread or cracker over the top,
with little bits of butter here and there,
and if there is a probability that it will
not brown nicely wet it over the top with
milk. An hour’s time should tie given to
this dish, ia a hot oven.
A coop Cold Dish for supper is made
by choosing about seven pounds of the
shin part of a flank of beef, two ounces
of sugar, six ounces of salt, one ounce of
saltpetre. These aro to be rubbed into
the meat, and then water enough shoaid
be poured over it to cover it. Let it re
main in this pickle for a week; then rinse
it well, remove the bone and all the gristle
and coarse skin, spread it out on the table
and scatter parsley rubbed fine, a handful
of it, a large spoonful of sage, also rubbed
very tine, a little allspice and pepper and
salt over it, then roll it up as lightly as
possible, put a cloth around it, and either
sew or tie it firmly together; the meat
should then be boiled until it is beginning
to be tender, a point which can be ascer
tained by piercing it with a fork through
the cloth; then put it into a jar with the
liquor poured over it in which it has
boiled. Rut it into the oven; at the end
of two hours turn out the liquor ( which
may be added to soup stock) and let tbe
meat dry for an hour. Do not attempt to
cut it until it is cold.
CITS OF SCIENCE.
Lead veins are thickest In limestone,
thinner in sandstone and thinnest in slate.
The latter, however, contains the greatest
percentage of silver.
Anew metal has been discovered by
Prof. Webster, which he proposes to call
“lduniuin.” It is one of the components
of native vanadate of lead.
The great increase in the demand for
pyrogalie acid, caused by the discovery
ot the dry-plate process m photography,
has had the effect to greatly cheapen the
price.
Turpentine in small quantities may be
used with advantage in the laundry, hut
resin, which is usually found in soap is
Injurious, discoloring some goods and
shrinking woolens.
The juice of the curious ink-plant ef
New Granada requires no preparation
before being used for writing. The color
is reddish when first applied to paper, but
soon becomes a deep black, which is very
durable. This ink Is now used tor public
records and documents.
Pipe-clay made into a paste with cold
water will, it is said, remove grease stains
from papered or plastered walls if put on
without rubbing, let stay over night and
then brushed off lightly. Where the
grease has been on for some time several
applications may be needed.
If a chicken-bone be left in dilute mu
riatic acid several days it may be tied
into a knot, since the acid baa dissolved
tbe lime, leaving nothing but cartilage
and connective tissue. If a bone be
burned it becomes light, porous and brit
tle, the lime alone remaining.
The largest organ in the world has just
been completed by UV alck, of Ludwigs
burg, and placed in the cathedral church
of Riga. The instrument measures 36
feet in widQi, 32 feet from, back to front,
and is 65 feet high. Itcontains 6,B26pipes,
distributed among 124 sounding stops.
During the mastication of food, by which
the relative surface is increased, it is
mixed with saliva, which moistens the
food and turns part of the starch into
grape sugar. We find the most abundant
saliva in those mammals that feed on
herbs and grain, but its action on starch
is extremely feeble.
The pearls of commerce found in the
mantle of some mollusks are similar in
structure to the shell; but what is the in
nermost layer iu the shell is placed on
the outside in the pearl and is much finer
and more compact. The pearl is formed
around some nucleus, as an organic par
ticle oy grain of sand.
The Pittsburg Penny Post sums up the
cost of a ton of steel rails at Pittsburg as
follows: Cost of pig metal, including ore,
limestone, labor, repairs, etc., $1518; cost
of ingots, per ton. $22 48; cost of steel rails
per gross ton, $26 83. It is also stated that
the eost of making a ton of 6teel rails in
England at present is S2O 17.
“Delta metal,” discovered by Alexan
der Dick, of London, a combination of
zinc and iron, is said to be as much su
perior to brass as steel is to Iron. It is
very tough, showing a tensile strength of
02 tons to the square inch when drawn
into wire of 22 gauge. It does not tar
nish as easily as braes and takes a high
polish.
Every plant begins life like an animal—
a consumer, not a producer. Not until
the young shoot rises above the soil and
unfolds itself to the light of the sun, at
the tench ol whose rays chlorophyl is
created, does real constructive vegetation
begin. Then tbe plant’s mode of life is
reversed; carbon is retained and oxvgen
set free.
Asa result of the investigations Of Dr.
Rudolph Emmeriek, a Bavarian patholo
gist, he has reported the discovery oi bac
teria, resembling in form and size those
found in diphtheria, in the blood of cholera
patients, and, furthermore, he Las de
scribed experiments in which he appears
to have produced the disease in guinea
pigs by inoculation with those 'bacteria.

NOT DEAD YET.
Atlanta papers are giving the public some
curious and wonderful eases thatare quite in
teresting. It seems a young lady of Atlanta
had been reported as dead, but it came to the
ears of the Atlanta Journal that she was still
alive, and being on the alert for news a re
porter was sent to the lady’s residence to learn
all the facta. Miss Belie Dunaway, who had
been pronounced dead, met him at the door,
Btoutly denying that she was dead. She said:
“For four years rheumatism and neuralgia
have resisted physicians and all other treat
ment. My muscles seemed to dry up, my flesh
shrank away, my joints were swollen, painful
and large, lost my appetite, was reduced to 60
pounds in weight and for months was ex
pected to die. I commenced the use of B. B.
8., and the action of one-half a bottle con
vinced my friends that it would euro me. Its
effect was like magic. It gave me an appetite
—gave mo strength, relieved all pains and
aches, added flesh to my bones, and when five
bottles had been used I had gained 50 pounds
of flesh, and I am to-day sonnd and well.”
