In 1739 a society in London, England,
ottered a premium of £IOO for cochineal
grown m India.
It Ls asserted that the dairy products
I°* “ le Uuiteu States have twice the value
i oi tlie wheat crop.
A company has been organized in New
Orleans, with a capital of SIOO,OOO, to
manufacture jute bagging, which has
hitherto been imputed.
A recent sale in England of one hun
dred Hereford bulls for shipment to
Buenos Ayres, shows that even there
the improvement of stock has com
menced.
Good sweet milk contains one-fourth
more sugar than butter; this sugar turns
to acid, and if this acid is too much de
veloped before churning the coveted
aroma is dflßiroyod.
The peat season has been a very tine
one for seeding wheat, and there has
been a full crop sowu. Winter wheat is
reported in mauy places as having come
up remarkably well.
The following may be accepted as an
approximate to the average qualities of
muk given by different breeds of cows:
Natives produce annually 1,794 pounds;
Jersey, 3,820; Ayrshire, 4,300; Holstein,
4,527 pounds.
In Germany the dairyman sends his
butter through the mail to the con
sumer's table. In winter it is sent in
parchment paper and wrapped in com
mon paper; in ' summer iu tin cans or
wooden boxes mado expressly for that
purpose.
The Elgin, 111., Board of Trade are
doing a service to Western dairymen by
showing up the Chicago frauds who are
putting up neutral lard, deodorized dead
horse grease, and other nauseous and
deleterious mixtures, under the name
of Western creamery butter.
Mr Lukin, of Powyle, Worcestershire,
England, says that his short-liorn cow,
Old Strawberry, gave an average of 4,200
quarts per year, for fifteen years, her
daughter Star gave an average of 3,200
quarts for seven years, and her grand
daughter Stella gave an average of 3,920
quarts for live years.
In the process of dressing hogs for
English bacon the hair is removod by
being singed, instead of being scalded
off; therefore, the animal must not be
tot) chuffy. Hogs suitable for making
this singed bacon, for which there is a
growing demand, are a cross with the
pure Berkshires.
Few persons are aware of the manu
rial advantage of sewage. It is said that
if the sewage of Loudon could be ap
plied to an entirely barren soil, it would
confer upon it the power of producing
food sufficient for 150,000 people, and
yet this is drained into the river Thames
to poison its waters and send pestilence
along its shores. A practical solution of
how to utilize sewage would be a boon to
the world.
Thk Bothamsted experiments 'by Dr.
J. B. Laws sliow an average product
this year of twenty-eight and one-sixth
bushels per acre for the unmanured
plots that have been in wheat without
fertilizers for thirty-seven years in suc
cession, and thirty-four and’ five-sixth
bushels per acre for the manured plots.
This is a much better result than the
average of ten years past, not so good
as the preceding eighteen years, yet a
little better than the average of twenty
eight years.
It appears from a series of experiments
at the agricultural academy of Eldena
that Holland cows consume about five
pounds of hay or its equivalent for every
quart of milk, and Ayrshires nine pounds
of similar food for each quart of milk.
Another series of experiments conducted
by Villerory resulted in showing that 100
pounds of hay produced in Hollanders
twenty-nine quarts and in Herefords six
teen quarts. On a comparison of thesr
figures with other data it appears that
the average for all breeds is about six
pounds of hay, or its equivalent for one
quart of milk.
Wquashes are of tropicai origin, and
therefore when spring opens it is use
less to plant them until the soil is quite
warm and all danger of frost or cold
nights is over. Again as they make a
very rapid growth there is no necessity
of haste in getting the seed into the
ground. Squashes are good feeders, lik
ing a rich soil. It is best to manure in
the hill. In sowing place a dozen seeds
in each hill, and when danger from the
bugs is over pull up all but three or four.
A mellow, warm soil is the best. For
bush sorts make hills three or four feel
apart, and for running kinds twice that
distance. All winter squashes should be
ripened thoroughly or they are watery,
lacking sweetness and richness, also
lacking keeping properties.
Mu. Had wen of Worcester, in giving
his experience with shade and ornamen
tal trees, at the Southboro meeting of
the Massachusetts Board, said that the
Norway maple would succeed where
many other varieties of the maple failed.
It succeeds well on a stiff, heavy clay.
European larches grow rapidly under
favorable circumstances. In cultivating
them he has had the benefit both for
ornamental and economical purposes.
Twenty-six years ago he set out a row of
Scotch larches on the line of his avenue
leading to the public highway. This
season he was in want of twenty large
sticks of timber for his oow stable floor,
and was unable to obtain what he wanted
conveniently elsewhere, so he took out
every other one of these trees, and they
squared eight by ten inches, thirty feet
long. Those which were left were suf
ficiently ornamental and answered the
purpose of shade almost as well as before
the row was thinned out. He planted a
belt of white pine trees to protect his
buildings, and for thirty years has had
the benefit of their shade and their in
fluence as a wind-break. They are oma
l mental and useful, and will be valuable
[in the future as wood. He has had good
success with certain varieties of trees and
shrubs from China anil Japan, ami found
them well adapted to the soil and climate
of Massachusetts.

Curious Scene.
A most respectable jury—every one of
thorn a £SO freeholder—was impaneled
at Clonmel, Ireland, to try a most im
portant question. During the course of
tlie trial the learned Judge had to retire
for half uu hour, promising to lie Iwick
on the expiration of that time. The
Judge then retired, and so did the jurors.
In some time after, one of the jurors re
turned, and stated in oixn court, to an
astonished audience, that he had lieon
to a christening, drank the child’s health,
a speedy uprise to its mother, aud tluvi
her sou might boa much better man
than its papa. This caused so much
surprise that those who hoard it re
mained silent. He usked a learned coun
sel to give ;him the song called “The
Low-backed Car.” At this reqncst the
learned gentleman shook his head. The
jurol then said, “You won't, won’t you?
Then I’ll do it myself ; ” and so lie did,
iu exoellout style, aud concluded amid
the bravos of a crowded court. He then
made a speech on the duties of a pater
nal Government, and acquitted himself
with equal credit, and was vociferously
applauded. Ho then demanded that ( lie
Judge should be sent for ; and, this de
maud not lieiug acceded to by the erier,
he stood up and called the learned Judge
to come into court, on a flue of £SO.
This lie did three different times, and iu
the usual way. He then declared that
as the Judge did not come ho wouldn’t
wait—lie should go back to the christen
ing ; aud he accordingly left the jury
box, and dually the court. In nliout
half an hour he returned, aud, not see
ing the Judge on the bench, he com
menced singing “ Rory O’More,” after
which lie stepped into the jury-box, re
suming his seat among his fellows,
who appeared quite “glum” at his an
tics ; but lia, seeming not to mind the wry
faces of his brethren, began to hum usong.
He then tried what he could do at tlie
Kent bugle, and succeeded to admira
tion ; but, just as he liad concluded a
splendid solo, the learned Judge mado
liis appearance at the comer of the
bench, where lie stood listening, iu mute
astonishment, to the music of the
special juror, who was equally astound
ed when lie heard the cry of “ Hats oft’!
Be pleased to keen silence f” In the
meantime something was said to the
Judge, who good-naturedly adjourned
the court for tlie further hearing of the
case until the following morning.
Beauty iu Dress.
Mr. Haweis, in a volume entitled “The
Art of Beauty,” makes the fallowing
point* with regard to beauty of dress:
“The reason that an ordinary low
neck with short sleeves looks worse in
black than iu any other is because the
hard line round the bust and arms is too
great a contrast to the skin. A low neek
always lessens the height, and a dark
dress made thus lessens it still more, and
it strikes the artistic eye as cutting the
body in pieces, in this way. If you see
a fair person dressed in a low dark dress
standing against a light background
some way off, the effect will be that of
an empty dress hung Tip, the face, neck,
and arms being scarcely discernible.
“On the other hand, against a dark
back-ground, the head and bust will be
thrown up sharply, and the whole dress
and body will disappear. The effect,
common enough, is execrably bad. If
you must wear a low-back bodice, let it
lie cut square, giving the height of the
shoulders (or, better, with the angles
rounded, for corners are very trying),
and have plenty of white or pale gauze
or thin black net to soften the harsh line
between the skin and the dress. White
gauze or lace soften down the blackness
of the dress at the edge of the bodice,
and thin black stuff has an equally good
effect, as it shades the whiteness of the
skin into the dark color of the gown.
Only under these conditions does the
sudden contrast enhance, as some per
sons suppose, the fairness of the com
plexion.
“Short women should never wear
double-skirts or tunics—they decrease
the height so much—unless, indeed, the
tunic is very short and the skirt very
long. So also do large, sprawling pat
terns used for trimmings; let these he
left to women tall enough to carry them
off. Neither let a very little woman wear
her hair half way down her back; lot
her lift it clean up as high as possible.
“Large feet should never lie cased in
kid—least of all, white kid slippers—for
kid reveals so clearly the form and move
ments of the feat, and stretches so easily
that few feet have a chance in them.
“Those who are very stout should
j wear nothing but black; those who are
! very thin should put a little padding in
I their gowns; and neither should be in
j the least accollet. Perpendicular stripes
j in dresses give liight and increase full
! ness, and are therefore particularly suit
| ed to very slight, small people, and par
| tieularly unfitted for stout figures.”
One Touch of Nature.
A gentleman was going home at a late
hour recently when he was suddenly
confronted by a footpad,who, with his pis
tol pointed at his head, demanded his
money. The gentleman assured the fel
low that ho had no money—that he had
“been to a church fur.” Before he
could say more the rascal dropped his
pistol, put it in his pocket, and present
ly took out his wallet, and, crushing
something into the citizen’s hand, said
in grief-broken accents, as he turned on
his heel: “Been to a fair! Poor fel
low! Take that—l wish it was more.”
He was soon lost in the night. Upon
approaching a street lamp the gentle
men found that the miscreant had given
him a $lO bill. Verily, one touch of
nature makes the whole world kin.
A Hint.
Ladies made pets of Skye terriers un
til they found something uglier, and
pugs are now in highest favor. It has
been a study for scientists to discover
why homely men are so fortunate in
getting the prettiest wives, and this may
give them a hint to work upon,
PRIMEVAL MAN.
Ilia Halil* and Appearance De
scribed bjr Prof. Hoyd llawkla*.
At a meeting of the British Astkx'ia
tion, Prof. Boyd Dawkins lectun*d upon
“Primeval Man." Prof. Dawkins, gen
eralizing from the distribution of the
animal remains found iu the early ter
tiary jxuiods, concluded that Europe
was then joined to Africa. The evidence
found in the midplioceno }x*ri<xl of the
existence of tho river-drift hunter in
France, Italy, Spain, Greece, North
Africa, aud also in India, brought us, in
his opinion, faco to face in that period
with the primitive condition of human
culture on which, in all probability, all
progress had been based. The altsenee
of geographical limitations already re
ferred to would account for tlie freedom
with which tho hunter passed to and fro.
Subsequently, in the cave-men lie found
the successors of tho river drift hunter
men of much higher type. He gave
their habits the following liy|X)thetical
description ; They dressed themselves
in skins aud wore gloves not mil ike
those worn at the present time. They
woie necklaces and armlets, and proba
bly pierced their ears for tlie reception
of ear-rings for ornamentation. They
used red raddle, and indeed some of the
practices of the present time might be
looked upon distinctly as being
survivals. The skins witli which
they clothed themselves they Hewed to
gether with bone needles, and, from the
sketches they had left behind ou bones
and pieces of skin aud tho like, it ap
peared that they were able to form a
distinct idea of the creatures which they
hunted, tlie representations thus lett
probably being the trophies of the chase.
They were fowlers und fishermen, and it
was evident from tlie figures of animals
which had been discovered that the
hunters of these times had great facili
ties iu representing forms of animals on
bone, but their attempts at representing
tlie human form wore rude. They liod
also left behind them evidence of the
art of sculpture. They wero ignorant
of metals. They hud no domestic ani
mals. Apparently they wore not in the
habit of burying their death We were
not awaro of what sort of physique they
had, but there was reason to believe they
were most closely related to tlie Esqui
maux. They were wholly different from
the river-drift men. Tlie river-drift man
was iu a state of primeval savagery ; the
cave man was of a higher typo, but in
liis turn was wholly inferior to tho fann
er, herdsman and merchant who fol
lowed him. Wo had this proof of tho
development of the human race iu times
before liistory began, and it occurred to
him they liad no reason for fixing onv
limit as to whore progress would end,
his opinion being that man would go ou
increasing in knowledge and improving
in the arts of civilization until in per
haps not a very remote tenure he would
lie as superior to the men of 1880 as we
were superior to the early hunters and
cave men.
An Astonished Minister.
A ridiculous scene occurred at Palmy
ra recently. The furnace in the basement
of the church is reached by a trap-door
which is right beside the pulpit. There
was anew preacher there from abroad,
and ho did not know anything about tho
trap-door. Before the service com
menced, the sexton went down there to
fix the fire, before the now minister ar
rived. Tho minister had just got warmed
up in his sermon, and was picturing to
his hearers hell in all its heat. He had
got excited and told of the lako of burn
ing brimstone below, where the devil
was the stoker, and where the heat was
ten thousand times hotter than a politi
cal campaign, and where the souls of tho
wicked would roast, and fry, and stew,
until the place froze over. Wiping the
perspiration from his face, ho said, point
ing to the floor, “Ah, my friends, look
down into that seething, burning lake,
and—” Just at this point the trap door
raised a little, and the sexton’s face, with
coal smut all over it. appeared. He
wanted to come up and hear the sermon.
If hell had broke loose, the new minis
ter could not have been more astonished.
He stepped back, grasi>ed his manu
script and was just about to jump
from the pulpit, when a deacon on the
front seat said, “Its all right, brother,
lie has only been down below to are
about, the fire." The sexton came up
and shut down the trap door, the color
came back to the face of the minister,
and he went on, though the incident
seemed to take tho tuck all out of him.
A traveling man who happened to lie at
the church tells us that he knows the
minister was scared, for he sweat so that
the perspiration run right down on tin;
carpet and made a puddle as though a
dipper of water had been tipped over
there. The minister says lie was not
seared, but wo don’t see how he could
help it. — Peek's Sun.
Biding Healthful.
A correspondent in the Jlounehold
says: I have a friend who, among other
luxuries, possesses a carriage, and many
an invalid has l>een gladened and
benefited by a ride. Last spring my
friend discovered a lady who from long
illness and sorrow was so reduced in
strength that it was with the greatest
exertion she could walk across her room.
She invited her to ride, but the invalid
declined, fearing she was not strong
enough to endure the fatigue; but on
Consulting her physician he decided that
it was just what she needed and would
do her more good than medicine. The
first ride was hut a very short one, and
on the street railway, to avoid jolting.
When left at her door she grasped my
friend’s hand, while the tears filled her
eyes, and said: “if this does not kill me
how I shall bless you." Well, it did
not even hurt her, and the rides were
continued every- four days for three
months, when the invalid was entirely
recovered and could and did walk three
miles.
TOILET RECIPES.
Hair Invuiorator. —Awash to stimn
late the growth of hair in case of bald
ness is made from equal parts of the
tincture of sulphate of quinine five
grains in an ounce of alcohol. For those
who will uso hair oil, pure sperm oil of
tho very finest quality, is the Ixst. This
must l>e procured in proper freehirwa
and cannot foil being a powerful hair
vigors tor.
To Remove Wrinkles. —Put pieces of
court-plaster on the face where the
wrinkles are inclined to coino, just be
fore going to bed, and remove in tho
morning. The plaster contracts tho
skin and prevents its sinking inte
creases and lines. It. also protects and
softens tho skin. Warm water should
always bo used to wash tho face in, os it
keeps off wrinkles.
Harmless Face Powders.— Rice pow
der, though expensive, is warranted per
fectly harmless. Refined elmlk is the
safest tiling to use, and costs far ls
t han if put up under some other name and
sold in boxes. Oascorilla powder is
much used bv Cuban ladies, and is con
sidered harmless. Wash the faee with
thick suds from glyocrino soap, and,
when dry, dust ou the powder with a
puff or piece of chamois skin.
To Strengthen tuk Hair.—A solu
tion of burdock tea will strengthen the
hair as will also sago tea. The follow
ing is also highly rooommendod ; One
pound of yellow dock root, boiled in five
pints of water till reduced to one pint;
strain and add an ounce of pulverized
borax, half iui onnee of coarse salt, tlireo
ounces of sweet oil and a pint of New
England rum ; a quarter of an ounce of
oil of lavender anu ten grains of umlxr
gris will perfume this nicely. Use tlie
burdock tea two or throe times a day a*
first; after a while once a day will bo
sufficient. Shnrap<x)ing the head once a
day with cold water will also have a
beneficial effect.
Hair llkhtokativh.— A powerful re
storative for the hair is half an ounce of
oil of mace in a pint of deodorized aloo
hol. Pour a spoonful or two into a sau
eer ; dip a small stiff brush into it, and
brush tho hair smartly, rubbing the
tincture well into tho roots. On bald
spots, if lmir will start at all, it may bo
stimulated by friction with a piece of
flannel till tho skin looks rod aud rub
bing the tincture into the scalp. This
process must be repeated throo times a
day for weeks. When the hair begins to
grow apply the tincture once a day til
the growth is well established, bathing
tlie head in cold water every morning
aud briskly brushing it to bring the
blood to the surface.
Obtained What He Wanted.
Tlie Phfiadolpliia Time* contains an
account of a young man employed in a
large iron manufacturing house in that
city, who became dissatisfied with the
wafces he was gettlbg—(ftiia alone gives
the story a fishy look) —and he Wfcut to
his employers and told them frankly that
he would like more pay. Some young
men, if they had wanted more pay, would
have died sooner than lot it bo known,
but this young duck didn’t seem to care
for anything. So ho told them ho must
have more currency, and they said they
would raise him from sllO u month to
$75. He was a shipping clerk, and had
few equals as an artist with a camel’s
hair L ash and a pot of lamp-black. He
could not, therefoie, accept $75 a month,
and he told them so. Then they hum
bled themselves before him and asked
him wlmt he would tako to say nothing
more about it. Tho shipping clerk said
lie wanted a partnership interest, having
read of such things probably in a novol.
As soon as the members of the firm could
recover from their astonishment, they
promptly kicked him out. All this oc
curred eight years ago. “ To-duy,” says
the Times , “lie is tlie leading member
of a firm which employs nearly three
thousand men arid boys, turns out fifty
thousand tons of iron a year, pays out
over a hundred dollars a month in wages
ami salaries, and does a business of $4,-
1 000,000 a year.” And we suppose if any
one of those three thousand men and
boys should go into his office and ask for
a partnership interest in tho concern
they would get it, would they? Or would
he stand them on a spring-board and fire
them through tlie roof?— /Vcfe’v Sun
