SACRED BENARES.
A. City Which Contains Five
Thousand Hindu Temples.
An Interesting Description By
the Late Phillips Brooks.
TIi Century publishes numerous
letters written from India by the late
Phillips Bro< »Kh, the Boston divine.
Bishop Hr *ks’ account of Benares is
follows:

they were already bathing him in the
Ganges, while some men were gather¬
ing up the ashes (of somebody who
v\ as burned earlier iu the day) and
throwing them into the river, where
they float to certain bliss. So it goes
on all the time, while a great crowd is
gathered around, some laughing, some
praying, some trafficking, bo me beg

ing fakir came up with a live snake
pleasantly curled around his neck, and
begged an aims, while the boys behind
kept pulling the fail of his hideous
necklace to make hint mad, and just
down tin* slope beside the water, the
mother was being burned by the little
boy, and the child by licr father.
This is not a cheerful letter, but on
lt'ss serious occasions the Hindus are a
most amusing people. On these cool
mornings the whole population seems
to go about with its bed-clothes around
its head and legs all bare.
Re-fontlierctl the Turkey.
A curious incident occurred on one
of Admiral Farragut’s frigates when
the fleet entered Mobile Bav. It is
related by an officer whose surprised
eyes beheld the ornithological phenom¬
ena. I he men were sitting down to a
hearty breakfast roast turkey and
other toothsonu- things—- when they’
were “piped to quarters.” They had
to leave the unearved turkey and hurry
up on deck. They were being fired
upon.
Suddenly, while they were returu
ing the enemy’s tire, they were sur
pr,sed to notice that the air was full
of feathers. A cloud of feathers
floated about the men at the gnus. It
looked as if a new and strange kind of
smoke hovered over this particular
frigate. In a little while the tiring
geased and the men returned to the
Preakfast table.
“Ha lii t that bird beeu plucked?”
some one inquired, pointing to the
turkey.
There lay the turkey as thickly cov¬
ered with soft, white feathers as if they
were his natural plumage. Like manv
other startling phenomena, this one
had a very simple explanation, which
appeared when one of the cabin doors
was opened. The room had the ap¬
pearance of having been out in a light
snowstorm. Little white feathers lav
over everything. A shell had gone
right through a feather pillow on one
of the bunks, [Chicago Post.

Oath ah feed.
The value of oats as feed depends
largely upon the cutting and curing,
They should be cut before the seed is
fully matured. If allowed to ripen,
the stalk and leaves turn to woody
fibre and the straw possesses but little
nutritive value.
The oats should lie bound in me¬
dium-sized bundles to help in curing
out. This should be done after they
have been exposed to the sun for sev¬
eral hours. Ten or twelve bundles
are enough to put up iu a shock, and
three or four days are sufficient to cure
them properly if the weather be favor¬
able. They must be dry when stored
awav. To feed them, rim through a
cutting-box, add a small quantity of
wheat bran and dampen slightly.—

WLiNBGALL ON A MARE’S LEG.
Windgalls are usually the result of
a dropsical condition of the joints or
the tendons leading from them; oon
sequently they may appear at the
joints or almost anywhere along the
line of the main tendons of the legs,
The puffs, or galls, appear in the form
of soft and somewhat roundish tumors,
varying greatly in size according to
the amount of secretion they contain¬
As the foot is raised they seem to re¬
lax, or become softer than when the
animal bears his weight on the foot.
Sometimes, however, windgalls are
caused by severe labor and pulling of
heavy loads, or by fast driving. They
rarely produce lameness at first, but
may if neglected until inflammation
sets in, or where there is a
tendency to chronic dropsical af¬
fections. In ordinary cases of wind
gall apply alcoholic liniments, spirits
of camphor, extract of witch hazel,
with a bandage with slight pressure at
first, increasing it as the galls recede.
In applying the liniment always use
the bare hand, rubbing carefully, but
sufficient to cause friction ; then put
on the bandages and wet them to sa¬
turation over the galls. Change the
bandages three times a day, with hand
rubbing each time. Should this treat¬
ment fail to -effect a cure in the course
of a week or ten days, then apply
stronger liniments, or even a mild
blister may be required,, but these
will be rarely needed with simple wind
galls on a young horse.—[New Y’ork

KEEP YOCR SHEEP THRIFTY.
The farmer who permits his sheep
to largely look after themselves must
be content to put up with light, un¬
even fleeces of wool that, when sent
to market, will sell at reasonably low
prices. It is very important in grow¬
ing a good, even fleece of wool to keep
the sheep in a good, thrifty condition,
and while so long as there is good pas¬
ture lttle or no extra feeding is neces¬
sary, at the same time they must be
looked after sufficiently often to make
sure of this. As with the other stock
on the farm, it is best to look after
their supply of feed for them, as well
as their shelter, in good season. While
it is best to allow- sheep to run out as
long as the weather will permit, it is
also essential that their shelter should
be ready for them, and that the feed
ing can be commenced at any time,
that is necessary to keep them in good
condition.
There is no advantage in keeping the
stock or breeding sheep fat, but thev
should be kept thrifty, and the more
fully this is done the better the growth
and the quality of the ffeec jj v
changing the pasture and by having n
patch of rye that can ha allowed to

grov in the f*U
full feed will not usually be n ecemarj
until early in the winter. Sheep will
keep healthier and will thrive better if
the v can *** allowed to runTout, and
-
good pasturage will help materially in
P'' n,J itting this.

FATTEN I NO FOWLS.
It is a prime requisite in fowls
brought to the table that they should
be suitably fat, and the lean bird is
neglected in the market and refused
by the epicure. But unless some at¬
tention is paid by breeders to make
their fowls fat it will be found to be
extensively true that when left to
themselves they will be rarely fitted
for the purposes for which they are
designed. The great desideratum
seems to be to produce fowls which
shall at once be healthy and likewise
fat. Overfeeding is a sure cause of
disease and similar effects follow when
the unfortunate fowls are too long and
too closely confined. It may be well,
therefore to give some brief descrip¬
tion ot the nature of the substance
called fat, and of what the process of
fattening consists.
Fat is not a necessary part of any
animal body. It is the form which
superabundant nourishment assumes,
which would if needed be converted
into muscles and other solids. It is
contained in certain membranous re¬
ceptacles provided for it, distributed
over the body, and it is turned to use
whenever the supply of nourishment
is defective, which should be provided
by the stomach and other great organs.
It is in such emergencies in the animal
economy taken up by the absorbentsl
If the absorbents from any cause act
feebly the health suffers. When, how¬
ever, nourishment, is taken into the
system in greater quantities than is
necessary for ordinary purposes, the
absorbent vessels take it up. The fat
thus made is generally healthy, pro¬
vided there is a good digestion. Noth¬
ing would seem to be plainer than the
best manner of fattening poultry.
To feed fowls with regularity and
plentifully on the best food is the ob¬
vious mode—[Ameriehn Poultry Yard.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Keep the top soil open.
Set a new pansy bed for spring.
Turn over and mix the compost
heap.
Be careful not to overstock your
pastures. •
Animals.need as clean water a$ hu¬
man beings.
New varieties of fruits are constant¬
ly appearing.
In cooling cream or butter only iu:c
perfectly clear and pure.
Sheep require less pasture than cat¬
tle, because they bite closer.
Caro for your animals if you expecl
them to make money for you.
A creamery should not be started
until 300 cows are guaranteed.
Set a bed of lily-of-the-valley ano
keep it well watered and shaded.
Turnips and rape, with a little oil
meal, will make mutton juicy and ten¬
der.
Why not study the market report,
and raise the kind of stock that is in
demand?
If pastured in the fall the droppings
of stock should be scattered early in
the spring.
It is a good plan to keep a good
milking cow in the dairy as long as
she is a good milker.
Thoroughly whitewashing the sheeps
quarters will help materially in getting
rid of the sheep ticks.
It costs more to bring a cow back
to full flow of milk in summer than it
does to keep her up to it.
Comb honey sells better and at a
higher price than extracted, and there
I in lies the advantage of feeding back.
W. Z. Hutchinson says that on an
average he has secured two pounds of
comb honey from the feeding of three
pounds of extracted.
Salt is said to be a good cure for
cabbage worms. Apply in the morn¬
ing before dew is off. or stir in water
and sprinkle at night.
The milk tester aud the separator
are important factors in dairying
The milk tester iu the near future will
be a sine qua non in dairying.
Some beekeepers seem to think that
it is better to allow the bees to build
comb than have them plaster the wood¬
work of the sections with comb.
Combs near the centre of the super
are drawn out quicker and finished
sooner than those at the outside and
corners. This being so, it is best to
P lat * e the sections least filled at the
j centre.
; The appearance of an animal goes
i a great way iu the market, and a
smooth, sleek, and fnt steer sells more
j readily and at a better price than one
equally as fat, but rough looking.
| This is 8 ^ oint for consideration,
If animals do not respond to a fat¬
tening food, something is wrong either

some, and granted it to the East India
Company. And under its rule came
the prosperity which, even to this day,
brings a vision of comfortable, rich,
solid men whenever the words “Bom¬
bay merchants” are spoken. Its grow¬
ing wealth drew to it men from all na¬
tions. In 1682 the Abyssinian Corsair
Seedu invaded it and held it till the
English got tho Mogul Emperor to or¬
der him awav. Later, under Robert
Clive, it was made an English strong¬
hold, and Arthur Wellesley, afterward
Lord Wellington, completed the sub¬
jection of inimical native princes.
Now it is a town of 800,000 inhabi¬
tants, it covers twelve islands of twenty
two square miles altogether, and its
gross annual income is estimated at
over §42,000,000. It lies at the foot
of picturesque hills, and its beautiful
harbor sweeps in a magnificent curve
north and south of it, making the ap¬
proach to Bombay one of India’s beau¬
tiful sights. The great Malabar road
runs along the back bay on a high
ridge. Here the wealthy Europeans
live, and at its end is the governor’s
handsome residence.
On the other side of the bay is the
mercantile quarters on a promontory,
where there is also the old fort, which
was formerly the city’s citadel.
The city is full of bazaars and na¬
tive markets, and the architecture in
the native quarters shows the strange
commingling of races and religions,
which have lived and toiled for centu¬
ries side by side and yet remained to a
great degree distinct and separate.—

Only Healthy Persons Sneeze,
I his is a point alluded to by J ona
t.han Hutchinson in his “Archives.”
He does not recollect himself to have
seen any but fairly healthy persons
sneeze. He puts the question with
especial reference to the widely spread
popular superstition that sneezing is a
sign of health and good luck. It is
possible, he thinks, that this may have
had its origin in the fact that it is for
the most part an act restricted to those
in fair health. Taylor, in his “Prim¬
itive Culture,” gives interesting facts
as to the prevalence of this creed, and
as to certain customs associated with
it aud traces it in part to doctrines ol
animism, but Mr. Hutchinson thinks
the suggestion he has given may alsc
have some value.—[Sheffield Medical
Journal.

road ran from Manchester to Buffalo,

Facts About Honey.
The largest natural hive in the world
ia that of Kentucky, known under the
name of “Mammoth Bee Hive.” It is,
in fact, a cavern, the largest compart¬
ment of which is 150 feet high, and
which extends to about ten acres. It
is in very hard rock, and the whole
height is covered with honey by the
bees.
M. Bertrand, a famous French api
culturist, has hives containing twenty
six rows, being double the ordinary
English hives.
The largest bee-keeper in the world
is M. Harbison, of California, who pos¬
sesses 6,000 hives, supplying 200,000
pounds of honey per annum.
The L nited states is at the head of
the list of honey-producing countries.
There are estimated to be 2,800,000
hives belonging to 70,000 rearers,
and producing 61,000,000 pounds of
honey yearly.
In Greece there are 30,000 hives,
producing 3,000,000 pounds of honey ;
in Denmark, 90,000 hives producing
2,000,000 pounds; in Russia, 110,000
hives, producing the same quantity ; iu
Belgium, 200,000 hives, producing
5,000,000 pounds; in the Netherlands,
240,000 hives producing 6,000,000
pounds. In France a yield of 25,000,
000 pounds is obtaned from 950,000
hives. In Germany and Austria the
production is very nearly the same.
The Opal a Harbinger of Ill-Luck.
Some of the older authorities give
the opal as an emblem of hope, But
a writer on the subject, Rabbi Beno
ni, who lived in the fourteenth centu¬
ry, says of it: “The opal is fatal to
love, and sows discord between the
giver and receiver. Given as an eu
gagement token it is sure to bring ill
luck.” A late writer on the vagaries
of fashion says “An opal figures in Sir
Walter Scott’s novel of ‘Anne of Geir
sten,’ and its possession was fatal
to the family of the heroine. The
idea that they were unlucky obtained
such currency that after the publica¬
tion of the novel they went o.it of
fashion.” '
The same writer says:
“When Miss Grant married Mr. Sar
toris she had among her presents a set
of opals. Much was said about the
ill-omen, and if report is to be believ¬
ed, her marriage has been a wretched
one. It is even asserted that they are
especially unlucky when given, to a
bride.”— Ex.

Steamboat on the Missouri.
As the railroads of the present day
contest for supremacy in speed and
good service, so did the steamboats of
20 and 40 years ago struggle for posi

contest was always that of speed. In
those days trade on the Missouri was
prosperous. At least 100 boats ascend¬

July, many of' them going as far as

that made this trip and returned to
St. Louis in two months without a
profit of §75,000 did a poor business.

A Wonderful ( lock.
At St. Petersburg a wonderful pho¬
nograph clock has been exhibited. It
will repeat, at any hour fixed upon,
such orders or announcements as may
have been given to its keeping. It
could be made to tell the children that
it was time to get up, tlu> head of tho
family that he had only iiis eight min¬
utes in which to catch train and
the invalid that it was tho hour for
him to take his medicine. The con¬
siderate young husband could leave a
reminder with the timepiece to the
effect that he would like to find those
buttons sewed on when he came home.
Doubtless the next step will be the
invention of a phonograph watch that
will remark from time to time to its
owner: “Don’t forget to post those
letters I gave you,” or “ be sure to
bring home those gloves.’ Then the
era of true domestic felicity will have
dawned and people will be willing to
wait a few years for the millennium.-—

“August Flower”
“ I am happy to state to you and
to suffering humanity, that my wife
has used your wonderful remedy,
August Flower, for sick headache
and palpitation of the heart, with
satisfactory results. For several years
she lias been a great sufferer, has
been under the treatment of eminent
physicians in this city and Boston,
and found little relief. She was in¬
duced to try August Flower, which
gave immedaite relief. We cannot
say to much for it.” L. C. Frost,
