FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Sowing Seed.
Sowing seed is an important operation
which is too often neglected. Much
nonsense has been written on this sub
ject m regard to so called experiments
on the requisite depth at which seeds
tkould be deposited in the ground. The
simple truth of this matter is that the
seed should be covered below the reach
of light; that it should be enveloped in
fine, mellow soil, in which the roots can
spread and fix themselves fiimly; that
the soil should be abundantly supplied
with plant food, and that the seeds
should be deep enough to give the
plants a firm hold to sustain their up
right position. All these requisites arc
secured by the use of a drill after the
soil has been well hardened. An inch
and a half is a good depth to put the
seed, and with a drill properly set this is
easily regulated. It is beyond question
that the cost of a seed drill will be re
paid on a 100-acrc farm by its use and sav
ing of seed in five years.— New York

Tree Surgery.
H. P. Hubbard, of New Haven
county. Conn., has a favorite horse chest
nut tree, which, having received some
injury when young, had begun to decay.
A portion of the trunk had rotted away,
leaving a hole about eighteen inches
long and some six or eight inches wide
and deep, and this was increasing in
size. Wishing to save the tree, Mr. H.
carefully dug out all the rotton wood,
fixed some boards in front of the hole,
which was filled up with cement, mixed
thin enough to be pouted in. Thcjbark
is now growing over the cement, and
promises to completely cover it and con
cenl the injury. This is given as a hint
to others, who may have trees similarly
injured, that they would like to save.
Common mortar has long been in use for
plugging upholes in trees; cement is
doubtless much better. Success in the
operation will largely depend upon the
thoroughness with which the decayed
matter is removed; only clean sound
wood should bo left.

The best form for a trellis combining
neatness with utility, is simply to set
stout posts in the ground eight feet in
height, with a 2x4 piece of scantling se
curely spiked on top to keep the whole
in position. Heavy galvanized wire is
then to bo tightly stretched the entire
length of the trellis, fastening it to each
post with small strips, or wrapping
around large nails, which perhaps is the
better plan. The wires may be about
twelve inches distant perpendicularly, |
The first season after planting, only one
cane should bo allowed to grow, all
othershoots being rubbed of! as soon ns
they start. The succeeding spring thi*
cane must be cut back to the height of
the lowest wire, and only two buds be
allowed to grow.
The second spring these canes must be
headed back to four feet in length and
fastened in each direction horizontally
to the bottom wire. About twelve inches
apart permit upright shoots to grow I
until they reach the top of the trellis
when the tips must be pinched oil. The
vines are now ready for fruiting, so that
the succeeding season lateral branches
will push out from the upright canes,
perfecting at least two clusters each. At
the annual spring or winter pruning
thereat ter, these laterals must bo cut back !
to a single good bud. As the vino be- ’
Comes old and the branches weakened, '
it is an excellent plan to head each al- *
ternate cane down to the horizonta '
branch, and allow a new set of uprights 1
to grow. The following year the re- 1
mainder of these must be treated in the
same manner, and our vine will then be
in condition to yield ns bountifully as
ever, provided due attention has been '
paid to the annual enrichment of the
soil, for the grape is a hearty feeder.—

Fried Bread.—Heat three or four
eggs; season with salt and pepper; have j
ready some thin slices of bread; dip!
them into the eggs, and fry them in lard
until of a light brown.
Broiled Ham.—Slice a quarter of an
inch thick; trim off nearly all the fat
around the edge; put it in a wire broiler
over a brisk coal fire and broil till done.
I’iacc on a hot dish and butter it.
tvri.E Sauce.—Pare, halve and quar

apples; put them into a baking dish
and cover thickly with sugar; bits of
lemon peel may l>e added if liked; put a
plate over the dish and set it into a pan !
having a little hot water in the bottom '
and place in a hot oven. Boil until the
pieces are clear and tender.
( abbaoe Salad.—Cut the cabbage
very fine, and put into a dish in layers,
with salt and pepper between. Then
take two teaspoonfuls of butter, two of
sugar, two of flour, two of mustard, one
cup of vinegar and one egg. btir all to
gether, and let it come to a boil on the
stove. Pour it hot over, and mix well
■with the cabbage; coverup.
Mackerel.—AV rap the mackerel in a
cloth and boil it in just enough to cover
it well; let it boil gently for twenty min
utes and it will be tender and
yet will not fall apart. Melt a
little butter, add cream to it, and
sprinkle parsley, rubbed fine, over it; or
to vary it. use a little melted butter with
lemon juice or a little vinegar.

How Cameos are Cut.
‘‘Cameos are cut in this country a.t
well as in Europe,” said a Baltimore
jeweler to a Herald reporter. “Th;
finest American work, which, of course,
is not by any means equal to the best
foreign work, is done in New York, and
a little of it in Philadelphia. That
Americans should turn out work equal
to that of the best foreign artists i
scarcely to be expected, since cameo
cutting was almost unknown here thirty
years ago, whereas in Europe some fam
dies in Florence, Home, Paris or Naplc ;
have pursued it as a calling for half r
, dozen generations. Cameos arc not as
, extensively worn as formerly—these
fashions come and go—but a great many
persons still wear them because they are
, j heirlooms or relics of some departed
1 ancestor. A cameo is where the image
, on the stone is raised above the surface;
, where it is cut in the stone it is known
as ‘intaglio.’ The stones generally used
for this purpose are the onyx, sardonyx,
blood stone and agate. The latter is the
. hardest stone to cut. The onyx consists
of several layers, and the cameo is ob
tained by cutting the figure out of the
upper layer, when it appears as a raised
medallion upon the lower one. It is the
easiest stone to work on.
“The art of ancient cameo cutting
was entirely lost during the middle ages,
and only appeared during the renais
. sance. The Homans, in my opinion, ex
. celled the Greeks in this branch of art;
I but the moderns have never approached
. the ancients in accuracy of design or
i finish. Look at this head of Augustus
Caesar, cut on a species of agate harder
than any we know anything about. That
sort of work could not be done now. It
was found in Home during some excava
tions made a few years ago near the
cnpitol, and, though not much larger
than a quarter of a dollar, is worth $75.
The sunken portions of the face, the
whites of the eyes, the hollows of the
checks, are polished. That could not
be done by any cameo cutter alive to
day. It is positive proof that the cameo
is an antique. The finest specimens of
cameo cuttingin the world arc the classic
figures cut in what is known as the Mar
(tuanvasein the British museum. The
j b >se is cut out of a single agate, and is
I seven inches high by two and a half in
width.”
Tho Captain’s Money.
I On the road lending from Egrcmout U
> Mount Everett is a house which was
once the home of a sea captain, who was
murdered by the insubordinate crew of
his ship. After that event, on stormy
nights, his wife and daughter used to bo
disturbed by sounds of creaking cordage,
flapping sails, clanking chains and othci
nautical sounds, which seemed to come
| from the garrett. Above all the rest of
the noise and turmoil, whoever was down
stairs could hear angry voices, groans
and cries for help. A great many people
used to gather in the house on stormy
nights to hear the unaccountable and
( alarming racket iu the garret, but no one
| ever hud enough coinage to open the
garret door and try to solvo the mystery
on sm h occasions. At length the widow
and her daughter abandoned the house,
the windows and doors of which were
then boarded up.
All of this took place fifty years ago.
A few days ago Mrs. Melius, a grand
, daughter of the old captain, living iu
Lowell, received a letter from a sailor
from a South American port, who says
that he was ou the ship with her grand
. lather on tho night when the latter was
I killed. He aay.s that the captain wanted
I him to go to Egrcmout and tell his wife
and daughter that ho had been murder
ed, and that enough money was buried
- in one corner of the cellar to keep them
in comfort all the rest of their lives. The
sailor went to Egrcmont, ai he ha<
promised, but resolved to have the
money in the cellar for hinisi If. By an
( ingenious arrangement of chains and
I other available material he originated
and kept up the supposed supernatural
tumult which had driven the captnin'f
widow and her daughter from theii
home. He then made a successful search
in the cellar tor the money, which h<
took with him to Peru. Ucmorse and
, the probability of immediate death iA
' duced him to write this letter of ex
! planation to Mrs. Melius.— L 'Well ( Vass.)

The Model Fish-Line.
Tho American ‘'enameled water
proofed lines" alone uro used in this
country for fly fishing.
If I’hariseeism is ever pardonable, it it,
when a good lino of this kind is com
pared with the best produced in any
other country. If not decrepit through
old age and their longevity is far in ex
cess of any other lines in strength they
i leave nothing to be desired. Smooth as
j ivory on the surface,they render through
the rings with the mitiimum of friction.
Their weight is sufficient to cast nicely
without-being excessive, and at the same
time this is always uniform, while theii
flexibility is just as it should be—-neither
so great as to foul the tip, nor so stiff as
to cause inconvenience. In short, thev
are as nearly perfect as the work of
man’s hands is permitted to be.
They are braided from the best Italian
boiled silk, and water proofed by a pro
cess the secret of which is jealously
guarded. Their first cost is high, but it
the end they are far cheaper than any
other. The temptation to economize is
great in the purchase of this essential,
since lines in all respects equal, to the
eye, may be bought at half-price. But
these are made from thread spun from s
“fluff” produced by disintegrating old
silk stockings, umbrella covers, and such
trash, in a machine, and are utterly
worthless for any purpose except to rob
the unwary of their money. Therefore,
buy your lines of a reputable house.
Take the best they have, and nay their
price, and you will have no reason to re
gret it.— Harper's Migatiaa.
, KATE SMULSEY’S DEATH.
AN AUTOPSY HEVEAI.S THE FACT
THAT ->IIK DID MIT DIE FROM
FANTINU.
Ftie Autopsy Pcrforiucd hy n Number ot
I'h, slel, ns.
An autopsy waa performed on the
body of Kato Smulsey, the Fort Plain
faster, by a number of physicians. The
body was not as much emaciated as
would be supposed after the long fast
of several months which the girl had
undergone. The features presented a
(jeacefnl, placid expression, and in the
i repose of death were extremely beau
tiful, giving no indications of the long,
weary months of suffering. The news
of the girl’s death brought hundreds to
tho scene, and as it became known that
the relatives of the dead faster had
granted the privilege of an autopsy, re
porters from various newspapers in all
parts of the State came flocking in.
The body weighed about seventy-five
, pounds. The tissues externally were in
a normal condition, and the muscles
quite full and rounded. Upon opening
the cranium the brain was found to bi
in a healthy condition and presented no
inflammatory changes. The weight of
the brain was forty-two ounces. The
abdominal organs were in a tubercular
condition. The peritoneum was spotted
with tubercnles, showing recent gen
eral tuliercular peritonitis. The tuber
cular deposit invaded the lungs also,
producing pulmonary tuberculosis.
The lungs were solidified and adher
ent to the pleura. Tho weight of the
right lung was twenty-four ounces and
of the left twenty ounces. The heart
was much smaller than normal and
weighed six ounces. The aortic valve
was slightly thickened at the edge. The
spleen was enlarged and tho capsular ad
herent weighed nine ounces. There
were inflammatory adhesions of all the
internal organs. Two large circum
scribed abscesses were found, which
were filled with material which had un
dergone cheesy degeneration, and which
probably partook of the general tuber
' cular condition. Tho larger one was
situated between the liver and stomach j
and the other at the right extremity of
the liver. Tho liver weighed forty
ounces and presented a healthy ap
pearance. Tho right kidney presented
nothing abnormal. Tho left contained
.in enlargement ou one side, but which
seemed to consist of normal kidney tis
sue, Tho stomach was next examined
sud found to bo entirely empty. The
mucous membrane was softened and in
an ecchymotio condition. The intes
tines were found to be empty. Tuber
cular peritonitis was thought to have
been the immediate cause of death,
and by tho condition the body was in
it was thought by tho doctors that the
girl could have lived a long time upon
a small amount of food.

A Morning Walk.
"Out in Portland, Oregon, where dis
tances are so deceitful, a very amusing
incident oocured last sumnfer among a
party of friends with whom 1 was
traveling. It happened that one of our
number was troubled somewhat by in
somnia, so much so that he arose one
bright morning just as the day was be
ginning to dawn, dressed, went to the
office and inquired of the clerk at what
time the matutinal repast began. Being ;
told that seven o’clock was the earliest
hour, he walked to the piazza, looked
'around for a few minutes, returned, and
inquired what mountain that was in the
distance. Upon being told that it was
Mt Hood, he said to the clerk: ‘lf any
of our party inquires for me, say that I
am going to take a run over there to get
up an appetizer; will lie back in time
for breakfast !’ Now Mt. Hood is some
twenty or thirty miles from Portland,
but has tho appearance of being not. over
two or three. As the hour for breakfast
approached, onr parly began counting
up its numbers, but Mr. A was no-
where to be found.
“Inquiry was at once instituted as to I
what might have become of him, when ■
it was ascertained from the clerk that he :
had gone to Mt. Hood for a morning !
walk, and, with a merry twinkle in his |
eye, he added he might not l>e back !
in time for the first breakfast; conse
quently wo took our breakfast minus
the absent Mr. A—, and immediately
after took carriages for a drive to Mt.
Hood, if possible to overtake the prodi
gal. Finally, after riding an hour or two,
we came to a|little brook, and there, sure
enough, was Mr. A— divesting himself '
of all his clothing. When asked what he
was about to do he replied that he
was ‘going to swim across.’ ‘But.
why don’t yon step over ?” said some
one. ‘Well,’ replied Mr. A—, ‘in this
country of magnificent distances,
how do I know but that is two miles
across?’ ”

A Curious Pit
In some sections of the northern por
tion of Arizona the question of water
supply, even for domestic purposes, is a
very seri ons one. This is particularly
the cise at Ash Fork, a station on the
Atlantic and Pacific Bulroad. A series
of very lovely and fertile valleys sur
round the place, and plenty of grass
grows for the support of large herds of
of pattie, but no water can be had ex
cept from an occasional “tank” during
the winter season. At Ash Fork the rail -
road company attempted to sink an arte
sian well,but after reaching a depth of 900
feet the drill became fastened and could
not be removed. Many futile attempts
were made to extract it, but at last it
was abandoned in despair. All water
now used at that station and by the resi
dents of the town is brought by ra l
from Peach Springs, sixty-five miles to
the westward, and is sold at fifty cento
per barrel.
A short time ago a prospector, stimu
lated by the inquiry for water, reported
that he had discovered a huge well,
about eight miles from Ash Fork, sunk
in a level plain. Parties at once re
paired thither with ropes and other
paraphernalia to explore the wondrous
discovery. They found the locality, but
to this day do not know the exact nature
of the curious cavern that met their
gaze. It is situated on a level plain
and cannot bo seen until it is ap
proached very near. There is no evi
dence ot earth or rock having been re
moved from tho pit, which was found to
be 150 foot in diameter and 320 feet
deep, with perpendicular walls. No
one in the party was brave enough to
decend and explore the “well” when
the rope bad been lowered, and the ex
plorers returned to Ash Fork scarcely
wiser than they were before their trip.
It is certainly a great curiosity, and
there possibly exists a supply of water
somewhere in its depths or in the numer
ous cJverus or tunnels that apparently
emerge into the dark earth below.—

About the White House.
| Some strange things occur about the
White House, and late visits by tourists
are among them, says a Washington
letter writer. It was 11:45 at night
when a gentleman and his wife rang the
bell at the door of the north entrance to
the Executive Mansion and requested
permission to bo shown over the house.
They were told by the doorkeeper that
it was after hours, and that the proper
time to inspect the premises was be
tween 10 in the morning and 2 in tho
afternoon. Notwithstanding the late
ness of the hour the nocturnal visitors
insisted that tliey ought to be shown
over the bouse because they had to
leave Washington the next morning and
would not have another opportunity.
This is only one case, and the door
keepers say it is not unusual for such
visits during the night. Sometimes
they have considerable trouble in dis
suading callers from carrying out their
purpose to roam over the White House
during the hours belonging to the Presi
dent, when be wants to lie private.

INVALIDS' HOTELaSURGICAL INSTITUTE
No. 663 Main Street, BUFFALO, N. Y.
Not a Hospital, but a pleasant Remedial Home, organized with
A FULL STAFF OF EIGHTEEN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS,
And exclusively devoted to the treatment of all Chronic Diseases.
Thlfl Imposing Establishment was designed and erected to accommodate the large number of invalids who visit Buffalo from
cverv State and Territory’, as well as from many foreign lands, that they may avail themselves of the professional services of
the Staff of ekilled specialists in medicine and surgery that compose tho Faculty of this widely-celebrated institution.
A FAIR AND BUSINESS-LIKE OFFER TO INVALIDS.
We earnestly invite you to come, see and examine for yourtclf, our institutions, appliances, advantages and success in curing
chronic diseases. Have n mind of your own. Do not listen to or heed the counsel of skeptical friends or jealous physicians, who
know nothing of us, our system of treatment, or means of cure, yet who never lose nn opportunity to misrepresent and endeavor
to prejudice jieople against us. We are responsible to j/ou for what we represent, and if you come and visit us. and find that
we have misn presented, m any particular, our institutions, advantages or success, we will promptly refund to you
all expeuar* of your trip. We court honest, sincere investigation, have no secrets, and are only too glad to show all
interested and candid people what we are doing for suffering humanity.
NOT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO SEE PATIENTS.
By our original system of diagnosis, wc can treat many chronic
diseases just as successfully without as with a personal con
sultation. While we are always glad to see our fiatients, and
become acquainted with them, show them our institutions, and
familiarize them with our system of treatment, yet wc have not
Been one person in five hundred whom we have cured. The per
fect accuracy with which scientists an; unaided to deduce the
most minute particulars in their several departments, apimars
almost miraculous, if wo view it in the light of the early ages.
Tiikc, for example, the electro-magnetic telegraph, the greatest
invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy
which enables an operator to fractly locate a fracture in a sub
marine cable nearl.v tiiree thousand miles long? Our venerable
“clerk of the weather” has become so thoroughly familiar with
the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately
predict their movements. He can sit in Washington and foretell
what the weather will tw in Florida or New York as well as if
si'veral hundred miles did not intervene between him and the
places named. Ami so in all departments of modern science,
■■■■lM r what is n-quin*! is the knowledge of certain
Oiaua or I’Y’rom these scientists de-duve accurate eon-
UluHo Ur I clnsions regardless of distance. So, also, in mudi
| cal science, disease's have certain unmistakable
I 6^ns ’ or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, we
uiouhuu. 11 have been enabled to originate and [XTfect a sys
i"“■ turn of determining, with the greatest accuracy,
the nature of chronic diseajus, without seeing aud jiersonaliy
COMMON SENSE AS APPLIED TO MEDICINE.
It ia a well-known fact, and one that appeals to tlw* judgment of every thinking person, that the physician who devotes
his whole time to the study and investigation of a certain class of diseases, must become Her qualified to treat such
diseases than he who attempts to treat every ill to which flesh is heir, without giving special attention to any class of diseases.
Men, in all ages of the world, who have become famous, have devoted their Ines to some special branch of science, art, or
literature.
By thorough organization. and subdividing the practice of medicine and surgery in this institution, every invalid is treated
by a specialist one who devotes his undivided attention to the particular class of diseases to which the case lielongs. The
advantage of this arrangement must lx* obvious. Medical science offers a vast field for investigation, and no physician can,
within the brief limits of a life-time, achieve the highest degree of success in the treatment of every malady incident to humanity.

personal examination of the patient, we claim tp possess no

is to the accuracy with which this system hat; endowed us that
we owe our almost world-wide reputation of skillfully treating

wivk-MUkv. hardly necessary to say that the Invalids’ Hotel and
1 ’""’Surgical Institute, with the branch establishment
located at No. 3 New Oxford Street, London, England, have,
I for many years, enjoyed the distinction of being the most largely
| patronized and widely celebrated institutions in the world for the
I treatment and cure of those affections which arise from youthful
i indiscretions and pernicious, solitary practices.
We, many years ago, established a special Department for the
| treatment of these disease«, under the management of some of
the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in order
I that all who apply to us might receive all the advantages of a full
, Council of the most experienced medical men.

i diseases contract them innocently. Why any medical man intent
on doing good, and alleviating suffering, should shun such rases,
’ we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise
I than most honorable to euro the worst rases of those diseases, we
[ cannot understand; and vet of all the other maladies which afflict
| mankind there are probably none about which physicians in gen-
I eral practice know so little.
We fully agree with the celebrated Dr, Bartholow. who says, “ I
i think it a reproach to our profession that this subject has been
permitted, in a measure by our own indifference, to pass into the
hands of unscrupulous pretenders. Because the subject is disa
greeable, competent physicians are loath to be concerned with it.
The same unnecessary fastidiousness causes the treatment of this
malady to lx* avoided in private practice.”
Wo shall, therefore, continue, as heretofore, to treat with our
best consideration, sympathy, and skill, ail applicants who are suf
fering from any of these dencate diseases.
