Ilmv the Original 1 uliitbilauts of the
Country Conducted Agriculture.
The aborigines of this country, says the
lioston ISfifijPt, were better acquainted
vvitb the cultivation of plants than most
savage- raers are whan they first come un
der the notice of civilized people. The
methods they pursued in raising corn and
tobacco are still followed, it is to here
gretti-d that so little care was taken iu
preserving a record of how they conducted
many of their farming operations as prac
ticed in the Hast.
Women were the aboriginal “g:ti-te
gaids,” or farmers, of North America, for
the savage lords ot the soil scorned tillage
as does a modern shop-boy, and pasted
t teir time ui lighting or hunting or in fish
ing, although they never refused to eat
the products of the soil. When anew
field was to lie cleared up in “wonne
squatn-sauke,” the squaws would take
their hatchets t made cf sharpened stone)
ar.d girdle the trees by bruising off a wide
circle of the bark; •'tnc-ni-e-jeeg-i-kwai
wug,” as they called this employment.
The next spring, twelve months utter
heaping dry limbs and leaves around the
decayed trunks, they Would apply liie,
and while the flames consumed the dead
giants of the forest, and the het killed
th“ root* >f ihe underbrush, the ashes
would leave the soil mellow and in lino
heat. A field thus tilled would be used
by generations, thus proving the excel
l -nee of wood ashes a fertilizer tor In
dian corn.
(■r. at care was taken by the Indians to ;
St loot for seed the best ear lor “skamoon,’’ :
which was their name for Indian corn, j
although they had distinct appellations [
for the white, the red, the yellow and the
black varieties, all of w hich they pus- !
s sse-tl, and kept pottage fish and ilosb of j
all sorts, either new taken or dried, as
shad, cels, ak wiv*s, t r a kind of herring, i
or any other sort ol Halt. Hut th y dried j
mostly those sort- before mentioned.
These" they cut In pieces, bones and aH, I
and boiled ifi-m in the aforesaid pot!age. j
Al-i. they boiled in thi- termer.ty all sorts
ot flesh taken iu hunting, as venison, .
he irs’ flesh, beaver, moose, otter or rae-!
coon, cut in small pieces. They also J
m \ and with it several sorts of roots, as
Jerusalem artichoke and ground nuts and \
other roots, and pumpkins and squashes.
Also several kinds ot musts, as oak !
acorns chestnuts, walnuts —these busk-d i
and dri- and and powdered, they thicken and i
this pottage therewith.
Melons w- re raised in great abund- j
a nee, as were also gourds ot all sizes, j
trim the large "‘calabash” that would ]
h id two or three gallons to the tiny re
ceptacle for pigui nts used iu painting for
w ir. From the sap of the maple they
made a course-grained sugar, which,
when mixed with freshly pounded Indiau
meal and seasoned with dry whortleber
ry-. was baked into a dainty dish for
high festivals. The dried meats of oil
nuts. pounded aud boiled in water, was
their beverage at siieta feasts, and from
t ii -i. in wax of the bay berry they made
.tndles with rush wicks,"which gave
el .tr light, and yielded a pleasant
fragrat: -e while burning.
‘•Mishitnin” in the Algonquin tongue
signified apple, although it is the opinion
of some learned writers that this fruit
was un? nown before the anival of Euro
peans. I have in my possession, however,
several ..d printed compilations ol early
voyagt rs, each of which reckons apples
among t early native fruits, and unless
crab stoc\s were found I do not clearly
see how the large orchards mentioned by
the early w riters could have bten made
productive so soon. Mr. Wolcott, a d.s
tiucuished Connecticut magistrate, wrote
in 17:k> (certainly not more than five years
alter this colony was first planted ): “I
made 7.00 hogsheads of cider out of my
0 u orchard in one year.” Tais would
nave been aim >st impossible had he bean
obliged to raise his orchard from seed, or
even had he carried trees of su-.-U size as
c mid have been transported through the
trackless wilderness. The apple may not
b* indigenous to the soil of N-w lie, •
land, and yet the Indians may have
imasessetl it, as they did Indian corn,
which undoubtedly came front the South,
and which was never found growing wild.
After the spring burning, when the oaks
b -gan to leaf, the squaws would cultivate,
or. rather, would root up the fields With
the flat shoulder-blades ol the tnoose, aud
thou mark the future hills by making
small holes (about -! tect apart > with a
rude hoe, the blade of which was a large
clam shell. Into each hole they would
put an ale-wife, caught in some adjacent
stream, or a norse-shoe crab from the sea
shore, and on the stimulant drop and
cover a half dozen grains ot corn. The
land thus planted was guarded against
rhj depredations of the birds, and, as the
corn grt w, the earth was scraped around
the stalks with clam-shells until the hills
vvi-re 2 feet high, a mode of culture super
seded by plowing, although some persist
in lat.oriousiy following it at the present
day. Generally the stalks grow Oor 8
feet in height, bearing two ears each, and
we are told that theie were eight rows,
containing thirty grains, or over, on an
ear. Burly in September the ears were
plucked, leaving the stalks and leaves
to enrich the ground, and were
carried in hack-baskets to their
wigwams. There the corn was
placed, unhuskeel, on frames resem
bling the fish flakes of our tim . under
which a smoldering fire was kept up.
When the corn was thoroughly dried it
was busked, shelled, and packed in large
birch-bark boxes, which were buried in
the ground below th<- action of the front.
Sometimes, when they cooked this corn,
it was soaked in lye until the hull came
off, then dried again, pounded in a wood
en mortar, and called “nausamp,” which
was boiled with venison fat and a bit of
dried salmon to give it a flavor. “Omo
nec" was the dried corn, simply cracked
in a stone mortar and then boiled; “sii]>-
paun” was the corn meal, situd through
a basket, which they baked into cakes on
flat stones. The warriors and hunters,
h iwev* r. when away from home, subsist
ed on simple parched corn, a supply <-f
which they carried with them. Roger
Williams "speaks of having “traveled
with near 2<x) Indians at once, near 100
miles through tbe woods, every man car
rying a little basket of this at Lis back,
sufficient lor one man three or four days.”
They call it “nocake.”
Several varieties of beans were r.ii- and
with corn; that tbe fall dish of “musick
quatusb,” or grien corn, might be en
joyed. It was net. however (like th >
••succotash’’ ol our day), simply com
post dof corn and beaus,"for Goodkin tells
us that "they frequently boil in this.”
Certain it is that they had orchards r-f j
peaches and of cherries anu of plums,
stores of which were dried for winter use. J
Huge grapevines entwined many a forest |
tree, and there was an abundance of Ler- j
nes. .Small patches ot tobacco, too, weie
cultivated by squaws of every ciueltain, j
and the “medicine men” had their apothe
cary wigwam so well stocked that they j
would be considered invaluable nowa
days by the disciples of Dr, Thompson, or
the good iid dames who find a panacea
for every ili in a nice cup of “yarb tea.” |
Their" wigwams were constructed ol
sapplings, sot into the ground in a circle,
and then drawn together at the tip until :
they formed a conical frame some o or Ift J
feet high at the apex. This was covered
with thick mats, or with large sheets ot j
birch bark sewed together with the dried i
sinews of the deer, and “calked” with
some resinous gum. In tbe centre was a !
stone hearth, with an opening above it j
for the escape of smoke, and the only
article of furniture was a large couch. ;
elev ated about a foot from the ground j
and spread with skins and mats. Birch'
bark boxes were used to hold clothing
and provisions, while the Trame work of t
the wigwam was hung with war clubs, |
bows, arrows, fishing-spears, hoes, axes j
and the few other rude implements which
the owners possessed. Tkey reckoned i
time bv moons, and each lunar period had |
its distinctive name, based upon some !
phase ot vegetable lite, such as “the j
planting moon," “the green corn moon, :
••the chestnut moon” aud “the falling
leaf moon.”

Breaking for Corn.
f ontrary to the view s of those who ad
vocate the fall breaking of land for corn,
in order to have it pulverized by the frost
ar.d for turning under and decomposing
the vegetable matter on the surface, a
writer in the Southern World has little
doubt that such early breaking Is very
proper for the purposes intended; but in
our climate, instead of the freezing, we
often have heavy rains which counteract
er undo the work of freezing. These
rains, toe, most frequently occur about
planting time after the freezing weather
is past, so that he thinks, in a field of
clean land plowed In the fall or early
winter, the soil will have become as com
pacted by planting time as before break
ing. He advocates, therefore, the break
ing of the land just before planting time
as a rule, though a portion of it must
needs be plowed at an earlier period to
avoid too much push during the planting i
season. A good plan, it is added, is to j
break up the earlier plowed land into |
ridges or narrow “lands,” leaving a good
water furrow between the beds to serve
as drains for surplus water. This is called
bedding the land, which enables planters
to make choice, according to the season,
whether they will plant in the water iur
row s against a dry season or on the beds
for a moist season. On this subject we
have before urged the importance of giv
ing the greatest possible advantage to the
young, not to the old corn. The advan
tage of planting in the water furrow is
done to secure the crop against drought,
for the young corn will not make near as
rapid growth In the water furrows, where
there is little or no top soil, as on the beds
or ridges, where all the fertility and con
sequent warmth of the soil has been coc
ci titrated by the bedding. The compari
son between the two situations for young
corn is very marked. Not until late in
the season does the water furrow corn
begin to show thrift and vigor, while that
on the beds springs forth at once in all the
luxuriance permitted by the fertility cl
the land. Where, however, it has been
determined to plant iu the water furrow s
they may be rendered much more suitable
than ordinarily by choosing a season when
the soil is comparatively dry and opening
i them with a plow that will permit the top
| noil to fall into the furrow behind the
plow ; or the water furrows may bo “list
ed” by having two others thrown upon
them and reopened. Tnis is the best,
' though, of course, more work, and if now
| well manured will approach to the ad
; vantages of the heads, which are gradu
; ally thrown to the corn as the season ad
vances. This plan gains the advantage
uf the water furrows in ease of drought
| late in the season and approximates that
I of the bed in givinsr the young corn u
! good send oil' early in the season. The
i difference in work is also compensated
| for iu the greater certainty of a crop, since
j it is now prepared either for. a dry or a
j moist season.
Food and (Totliing in Hard Times.
At tli:s date seven years ago, said arc-
I cent number of the New York Journal of
| Commerce, “family flour sold at $7 25 to
! $8 75 per barrel, it can now be bought at
$3 15 to $3 73, which is less than half the
former price. Wheat, then selling at
$1 53, and a little while before at over $2 a
bushel, is now offered at 90 cents a bushel.
Coffee, which then sold at 19' j cents, enn
now be had at 10) j cents per pound. Tea
which then brought 50, is now in market
at 28 cents a pound. Brewn sugar, then
costing over 8 cents a pound, can now be
bought at less than scents a pound; white
sugar, then 10V 2 , now 0' ; cents; rice, then
7 cents, now 5Lj to 6 cents a pound. Less
than eighteen months ago mess pork was
■ $2O, now to be had at $l7; mess beef at
$ll, now $l2; lard 12 cents, now 8; butter
31 cents, now 30 (owing to the drouth at
the eastcheese, then 13 cents, now UH
cents a pound. Cloths and blankets, and
flannels and cotton goods have declined
'ar more aud arc now at their lowest
i point they have ever reached in human
history. A whole suit of clothes for a
man can now be bought for two or three
days* wages, and the price of a day’s
washing will buy tbe washerwoman a
new gown, with a pair of stockings thrown
i'rto the bargain.”
The absolute necessities of life have not
been ottered at so low prices in many
years. Food and clothing are remarkably
cheap; and it is fortunate that they are
so, for the continued depression in busi
ness would otherwise lead to a great deal
of suffering. As prices now are, however,
no one need suffer who is able and willing
to work.
Fall of the Sugar Industry in Lou
isiana.
Writing on this subject the Pica>june
s.tys: “In 1885 there are three or four
horse sugar mills, one ot them idle last
year, and eleven steam sugar mills on
Bayou Sale, there are four resident plant
ers and nine or ten plantations are owned
by non-residents. Most ot the sugar
plantations and more than three-quarters
of the capital are in the hands of the New
Orleans merchants. The gardens, milch
cows, fruit, chickens and line living, so
ciability and hospitality among the white
population, or the fun and corn songs of
the negroes, have departed—‘the fiddle
and the bow,' like Ihe harps of the Israel
ites, are hung on the willows, and the
scboolhotise and church are silent. Nei
ther whites nor negroes arc as happy as
in old times. The roads are horrible and
almost impassable in places iu wet
weather, and many negro quarters and
other plantation houses and improve
ments are falling into decay. The de
scendants ol the old planters are most of
them poor and unhappy and the end is
not yet. ‘The glory ot Israel has de
parted.’ ”
Bohemian Oats.
Northern journals are cautioning plant
ers against investing in the so-called “Bo
hemian” oats, w hich, like nearly all other
wonderful oats puffed under new names,
have turned out to be an arrant swindle.
The swindlers, of course, never ask much
for the packages, for a high price would
limit the sales, and they never have but a
few to dispose of; which, ot course, cre
ates a quick demand for those few. lest
the credulous farmers should fail to be a
party to the next sensation on oats. Tbe
few, however, are never exhausted -all
\vh order are fully supplied with oats
not so good as those in their own barns.
Meantime* the swindlers amass a fortune
from the hundred thousand or so of our
million of farmers who forward the stamps,
the quarters or halves.
White vs. Colored Laborers.
The agricultural editor of the New < *r
leatis Picayune says he lately visited the
sugar plantation of Capt. John Atkinson
on Bayou Teche, parish of St. Mary, near
Centreville. He has on it fifteen Danes
and three negroes—two of the Danes are
boys. There are nine families of Danes
and two of Germans on tht? plantation, all
in comfortable and neat houses. They
have many children who go to school at
Centreville. They are Lutherans, have
their children christened and go to Pres
byterian, Methodist and Episcopal church
es. Tht y are peaceable, sociable, indus
trious and healthy. They do not lose six
days work in a year. Dr. C. E. Allen is
their physician—who says they are mote
healthy than negroes.
America is the mowt favored spot for
frogs and saleraanders, and India for
snakes, in Australia two-thiris of its
snakes are venomous, while in the United
States only 22 out of 170 are venomous.
loss By Neglect.
It i* estimated that 100,000 head of cat
tle, valued at $4O per head, or $4,000,000 in
the aggregate, were lost during the past
winter trom ill-feeding and want of shel
ter. This is a considerable loss for the
country and shows how much neglect
there is among stock men alone. That
sum would have constructed rough shel
ters for all the lost cattle and thousands
more, and when constructed would have
lasted for years to come, whereas they are
yet to be provided or the loss repeated
every winter until stockmen are a wakened
to their interest. It would seem that the
desire even for the common cattle of the
South to be driven West to supply the de
pletion on the prairies would have prompt
ed farmers to protect their cattle during
the winter in order to reap the high prices
in the spring*. Hut we have not yet learned
well how to tackle some of the pennies,
though it must be admitted that we are
making some gain iu that direction. In
spite of the demand beef has been abun
dant and reasonably cheap, and we may
hope to use it with more economy when
less abundant and higher priced.
Hired Hands.
It requires a judicious employer to han
dle the hired men successfully. They
should be treated with iespect, as persons
having lights, but should be taught to
understand that their employers also
have riguts which should tie firmly en
forced. They should not be allowed to
smoke during work hours, neither to in
dulge in profanity. They should be taught
to consider that they "have not the right
to abuse the farm animals or other prop
erty; to work faithfully and intelligently
during hours of labor, not striving to kill
time when unobserved; to act like men.
The laborers at the same time should in
sist that they be treated tike men by their
employers, and that the labor which it
fall'to their part to do, be such as their
empl . ■ is t ciilil not bit ashamed to do
weic "they themselves called upon. The
labor question on the tarru is a difficult
one to handle, especially so where many
laborers a. re employed. But the obstacles
are overcome in a measure when good la

laggards are given to understand that
they a:e not wanted, lie who knowingly

Ivaths from I igiitnitig in France
iJui ins t he Fast Fifty Years.
Bulletin :!■!, of the Association Scien
liflque de Fiance, contains a paper on
-j/s Vie times de la Foudre,” the chief
parts ot V'-- ii aie translated below:
Ugbti i- das killed I 00f) persons in
France n 1-. n- since 18.05, when a record of
such deaths was first kept. The follow
ing figures show the number killed each
year, but there were the same number sc -
iiously wouuded, though not fatally, and
five times as many struck. The maxi
mum years have licen 1874(178 killed),
1808 ( ioG), 1880( 147), 1883 (143), 1803 (140).
Huriiig these five years the summer was
very hot, and it Is a curious fact that they
were remarkable as excellent wine years.
Tie* minimum years have been 1843 (48),
1853 ( 30), 1800 ( 01), 1854 y 52), 1851(54),
and these years were all more or lesscold.
The lightning proved most destructive in
those departments which have a high
situation, such as le I’uy-de-Dome, la
haute Loire, Saone-et-Loire, etc., while
the low-lying districts, such as the de
partments of la Mancbe, le Calvados and
l’Eure were nearly, if not quite, exempt.
FAUM AND SIOIK NOTES.
The Egyptian farmer with ten acres of
ground pays more tax than an American
with 100.
New York sells annually about 100,000,-
000 pounds of butter, of which the Com
missioner of Agriculture claims over one
half is bogus.
A good remedy for lice on chickens Is
made of 2 pounds sulphur, 1 drachm car
bolic acid . fluid). Pour the acid into the
sulnhur and rnix thoroughly with a pad
dle'or spoon, after which it 'may be ban
died with lhe naked hand, and is excellent
when put in the nests or rubbed among
the feathers of sitting hens or dusted into
the cracks and on the roosts in the fowl
house.
The atmosphere may be allowed to waste
manure as rapidly ns the rain. Where
i fermentation is rapid large quantities of
ammonia, a very valuable manurial ele
ment, are evolved and will escape into the
air. This is always the case when the
compost heap is loose and conical. The
manure tirel'angs and loses the greater
part of its value. The remedy for this is
I to keep the heap level or lowest in the
; middle and tramped 6olid. This will g n
erully prevent the waste (>£ ammonia.
A correspondent of the Vann and (in -
tkn has discarded poles in glowing Lima
beans. A liberal supply of manure is
placed in deep furrows, mixed thoroughly
with the soil, and seed dropped every four
inches in rows threeaud a halt feet apart.
When well up the plants are bushed with
heavier stuff than for tall peas. The
vines having reached the top of the sup
port are pinched in, which repression re
sults to the advantage ot the crop. By
this method he gets a larger product from
a given space than in the old way, and
has a smaller surface to toe.
Tlie California fruit growers are now
cultivating several varieties of .Japan
plums—real plums, of the Primus domes
tica variety, not what we here call the
“Japan plum,” which is no plum, but
rather it MespiUis. Botanicaily, it is
Eriobothrya Ja jaw tea, or Loquat, un ever
green of great beauty, which is grown in
abundance and perfection in New Orleans
and its vicinity. The recent use of the
word Loquat lias given rise to confusion,
many people supposing that the latter
was anew fruit and taking some trouble
to obtain what they already Had!
Cotton-seed meal is a highly nitrogenous
foo l and should only be led with coarser
feed to prevent injury. But a small ration
can be given to cows daily, as it makes a
very rich milk, and in winter helps to give
color to the butter. Bran is excellent to
feed w ith cotton-seed meal. .It is not safe
to give the meal to calves cf other young
sto k, i<> some have been killed by inju
rji 'i i'is feeding. Only that which has
b.n well cleaned from the husk should
be us- i'. as the husk is especially iudi
gestib!.- and injurious. Some dairymen
who market choice butter will not feed
their cows with cotton-seed meal.
What ia a microbe? V great deal is
said and written o! microbes, and the
little things aiv charged with a great deal
of mischief. ’I he word was originated by
Dr. Luiii trs Sedilot, of Slrasburz, in Feb
ruary, Ix7B, in it paper read by him on the
application of I’tu-tciii’s discoveries to
surgery. The word is derived front the
Greek uvkras ( small and bias life), and
ibis signifies minute living organisms.
Tne term was adopt and by Eastern - and has
come into general use. A microbe is an
exceedingly minute organism which is
parasitic upon animals and plants, and
which is supposed to produce most, ii not j
all, the diseases which flesh and vegeta- I
bles arc heir to, especially those which j
are contagious.
The difference between an egg laid by a
plump, healthy hen, fed with good, fresh
tood daily, and an egg laid by n thin,
poorly fed hen is as great as the differ
ence between good beef and poor. A
I fowl fed on garbage and weak slops, with
! very little grain ot any kind, may lay
egg's, to be sure, but w hen those eggs are
broken to be used for cakes, pies, etc.,
they will spread in a weak, watery way
over your dish, or look a milky white, in
stead of having a rich, slightly yellow
tinge. A "rich egg” retains its shape as
far as possible and yields to the beatiug
of tiie knife or spoon with more resist
ance. and gives you the conviction that
you are really beating something thicker
than water or diluted milk.
The Southern Wisconsin Bee-keeping
Association held that the prevailing opin
ion was iu favor of black (native) bees;
that they hang to the cluster in sw arming
and are less liable to sting; that doubling
up weak colonics in the autumn is ad
visable; that swarming may be prevented
by keeping the drones killed off, or by ex
tracting the honey; should a swarm issue
return it to the hive and destroy thecueen
cells every week; that some pure Italian
queens are black; that sections best
adapted for securing straight combs with
out the use of dividers are sections that
are one and three-quarters inches w ide;
and that iu driving out bees from surplus
boxes that all should be driven out below
with smoke, then take off the boxes and
carry into a dark room, leaving the door
partly open, when all the bees remaining
will return to the hive.
After many observations at sea level
and at 15,000 feet above, l’rof. S. P. Larg
ley concludes that the mean absorption
of light and heat by the atmosphere is at
least double the usual estimate of 20 per
cent. He believes also that dust paiti- 1
cles play a more important part in this |
absorption than is generally supposed. I

Ice Cream is in disfavor and very rare
ly i9 it served at the fasbionuble dinner
parties of the season.
At one of the dinners is Washington
last week the salad was of shrimp and
chopped celery over which was poured
the white of an egg.
Keeping Celery.—Celery may be kept
for a week or longer by roiling it in brown
piper and then pinning it np in a towel,
keeping it in as dark and cool a place as
possible. Before using it let it remain in
a pan of cool water for ntt hoar and it
will be quite crisp and cold.
Chocolate.—Brillat Savarin say s about
chocolate that it should be placed in an
eartnenware jar with a very small quan
tity of water, where it will keep warm
over night. By this method tho chocolate
dissolves ard becomes smooth. He uses
half an ounce of chocolate to a piut of
milk and boils slowly for 15 minutes.
Potato Nudi.es.—Grate a plateful of
cold potatoes, mix them with three or lour
eggs, as many spoonfuls of milk, a little j
salt and flour enough dredged in to form I
a dough, just stiff enough to roll out,
rather thin. Cutout little round cakes.
Put them in boiling water, to boil live
minutes; then drain and dry them <>n u
napkin. Fry them a delicate brown color.
Potatoes Beignets.—Mash a large
platelul of mealy potatoes with 2 ounces
of butter and two well beaten eggs. Rub
them till no lumps seinain, spread the
mass out smooth, not quite an inch thick;
then cut out with cutters half moons,
round, oval and thr, e-cornered shapes.
Coat them with egg and bread crumbs,
and grate cheese over. Frv them a deli
cate yellow, or put them in the oven to
bake a nice pale color, without drying.
Serve them hot, either alone or as a" gar
nish to diflerent dishes.
Potatoes wrru Sardines.—Slice par
boiled potatoes halt at) inch thick. Melt
a piece of butter in a stewpan and put in
a layer of half the potatoes. A couple of
chopped onions and some parsley must be
steamed, with a piece of butter in a small
stew pan. Chop sardlues or anchovies,
and stir them into the latter. Stew for a
few minutes, then spread them over the
potatoes iu the stewpan. Cover with the
other half of the potatoes and stew them
ten minutes, or the whole may be done in
the oven, with the dish covered.
Chicken Soup for Invalids.—Take
all the bones of a chicken, crack them and
stew them down lor many hours with the
dark meat of the carcass, using the breast
as a broil or stew, as tbe invalid prefers.
Flavor the broth delicately with a bit of
thinly cut lemon peel and some sweet
herhs tied in a piece Of muslin. When
cold this soup will be a delicate jelly, and
it is sometimes preferred by invalids in
this form. When soup is wanted the jelly
nasorily to be melted down. Of court-eall
fat must be eliminated from tbe soup.
Hkukinged Potatoes.— Boil potatoes
in their skins, not too soft, peel and slice
them; keep them warm white you cut up
an onion in a stewpan, with apiece of
butter or some wry thin fat bacon. When
the onion begins to turn yellow dredge it
with flour; add some water, salt, pepper,
two or three t iblespoonfills of vinegar
and a bay leaf; leave this to simmer.
Meanwhile, wash two herrings, take the
bones out, cut the iidi into small dice,
add them to the same to simmer a few
minutes; then put in the potatoes. Stir
all together gently so as not to break the
slices. Adda piece of butter and some
milk to soften the stew, and serve it quitq
hot.
_Potato Turnovers.—Mash, with a
piece of butter, some dry, m aiy potatoes,
while they are warm; mix them with two
or three beaten eggs, according to the
quantity of potatoes. Dredge ii paste
board, spread on it the potatoes, a good
half-inch thick. When cool cut out squares
or round cakes, tiv; inches across. Put
on each a large tablespoonful of any re
mains of meat or poultry minced small.
Turnover half of the cake to cover it,
coattbfin over with egg and breadcrumbs
and Inik** a delicate brown in a moderate
oven, ftie mite-ed ine-’t f >;• these should

sage and a very little vhives or onion;

The Royal Geographical Society, ol
I.ondoD, has published a list of 120 sta
tions occupied by Europeans in Central
Africa in 188-1.
A congress of scientific societies is to
be held at the Sarbonna. Among the sub
jects to be discussed is the utilit y of mag
netic and electric observations "with re
gard to weather prediction.
Grehantand Quinquand say that sub
cutaneous injectious of increasing doses
of aqueous solutions of pine urea invari
ably terminated m tetanic convulsions
and death. The convulsions resembled
those produced by strychnine, and were
followed by death iu the course of from
one to ten hours.
Prof. E. Wollny concludes that the deep
planting of seeds and tubers is usually
unfavorable for their development. The
most suitable depth depends on tbe kind
of plant, on the nature of the soil and on
the weather. The smaller the seeds or
tubers, the less favorable the weather ar.d
the more compact the soil, itie more es
sential is shallow sowing.
The marble trade of San Francisco is
worth $1,000,000 annually, one-fourth of
which sum has heretofore been paid to
the Carrara quarry of Italy. With the
new San Francisco company operating in
the Alaska quarries the city" hope 9 to pur
chase hereatter its entire supply irom its
own citizens, and at the same time to get
a marble of equal beauty as heretofore.
The flexibility of itacolumite—a re
markable sandstone existing in Georgia
and North and South Carolina—seems to
be surpassed by that of a magnesian
limestone found at the entrance of tbe
Tyne, in England. This limestone is re
ported to lie so flexible that thin layers,
three feet or more in length, may be "bent
into a circle while damp, retaining that
form on drying.
AH ruminant hoofed beasts have horns
and cloven feet. If the hoofs are even the
horns are even; if odd, as in the rhinoce
ros, the horns arc odd, that is single or j
two placed one behind the other. Recent i
creatures with feathers always have j
beaks. Pigeons with short beaks have j
small feet, and those with long Peaks ■
have large feet. The long limbs of the i
hcuud are associated with a long head.
No two individuals have exactly the
same anatomical structure, and nearly
every one has in him some bony promi
nence supernumerary muscle or abnormal
blood vessel which "tells the tale of his
descent. Scarcely one body is perfectly
normal in every part. Some have as
mauy as 30 or 40 variations in their tones,
muscles or arteries. Variations occur !
more frequently in negro and Indian sub- j
jects than in those of European descent. ;
The limits of insects are determined by j
temperature and vegetation, by oceans i
and mountains. There is an insect fauna i
for each continent, zone and latitude.
The insects near the snow line on the
sides of mountains in the temperate re

The insects on our Pacific slope resemble
those of Europe, while those uear the
