FOR THE FARM AND HOME. The Apple Orchard. ■Josiah Hoopes says in the New York Tribune: One may apply fertilizers to •.ue soil and yet neglect the trimming, ! washing the bark, and destruction of injurious insects. I consider all of i ••cry nearly equal importance. A top- i tressing of any good, rich compost luring autumn will pay the owner of j v> old orchard as surely as if applied j ■<> his wheat-field or potato-patch. %ml yet the farmers allow the trees to ; •tun out,” to use a common expres sion, from ignorance or parsimony. , As to breaking up the tough sod of an 1 old orchard to infuse health in the trees, some difference in judgment ex- ' mta, but I never could see the use of ' 1 ’•troylng the roots, when equally g,<od results may be gained by simply tittering manure over tho surface. 1 r .et farmers try the latter and mark •.he result; then follow up the good work next spring by heading back the tops of all old mossy trees, and apply a coat of alkali in weak solution to the bark of the body and larger branches, i like whitewash for this purpose. Greed of Cows. It is hardly necessary to tell anyone, says the Lioe-stoak Journal, that the domestic cow is a great feeder, and ihat this is especially true of cows that are great milkers. The appetites of domestic animals are largely what y.'ars of feeding for certain ends has ciatlo them, and they may, therefore, be regarded as in a measure abnormal. This is shown clearly enough by the i great milk and butter tests, which have shown that cows can be system atically overfed up to a point where death quickly follows. This being the case, it Is necessary in feeding cows to b.‘careful that feed of a stimulating, concentrated character be administered legularly and judiciously. Tho over indulgence which a cow will practice Kt times, when allowed unrestricted access to grain or apples, is usually die not only to the greatly developed appetite induced by an abnormally ro tive udder, but far more to a want of regularity in feeding and tho neglect of the feeder to meet the demands of such an appe tite as they develop. With proper feeding, cows can be trained to take care of themselves with any kind of food before them. Even with apples, than which no kind of food is more dangerous to cows when indulged In to excess, this statement holds good, i id when properly trained, being fed ot first moderately and the quantity gradually increased, they seem to leami lo measure tho quantity their fc'omachs can manage, and may be as i h fely trusted In the orchard as any , her animal. In tho case of bovines Ihe trouble arises from the unnatural distension of the rumen by habitually overcrowding it with coarse food in an effort to satisfy the appetite in duced by any great draft upon tho system. Thus stretched, it will hold more of a concentrated food .than the animal can digej^before fermentation becomes active enough to be injurious. It may be stated here that, fed judic iously, apples are a healthful, safe, ’ and an excellent milk producing food. Care of Cellar*. A great mistake Is sometimes made in ventilating cellars and milk-houses. The objectof ventilation Is to keep the cellars cool ami dry, but this object of ten fails of being accomplished by a common mistake, and instead, the cel lar is made both warm and damp. A enol place should never be ventilated, unless the air admitted is cooler than the air within, or is at least as cool as that, or a very little warmer. The warmer tho air, the more moisture it holds in suspension. Necessarily, the cooler the air, tiie more tills moisture Is condensed and precipitated. When n cool cellar is aired on a warm day the entering air being in motion ap. pears cool; but as it fills the cellar, tiie cooler air with which it becomes mixed ehills it, the moisture is condensed, and dew is deposited on the cold walls, and may often lie seen running down them in streams. Then the cellar is | damp, and soon Incomes mouldy. To avoid this, the windows should only be opened nt night, and late—the last thing before retiring. There is no need to fear that ths night air is un heallhful—it is as pure as the air of midday, and is really drier. The cool air enters the apartment during tho night, and circulates through it. The windows should lai closed before sun rise in the morning, and kept closed and shaded through the day. If the air of a cellar is damp, it may be thoroughly dried by placing in it a peck of fresh lime in an open box. A peck of lime will absorb about sevi-n pounds, or more than three quarts of water, ami in this way a cellar or a milk-room may soon Lie dried, even in -'tbft hottest weather. A bushel of lime absorbes t .venty-seven pounds of water, and still appears as a dry pow dec. In this will be'very useful to spread over the garden or lawn, or around fruit trees, or it may be used for whitewash. This precau tion is often necessary in the dairy, because of the prevalance, where air 13 damp, of mildew, and the various forms ol mould. The orange and red kinds of mould especially, which sunn - times form ttpon the cream, have a most ini a rious effect mint the butter. If shade is excessive about the bouse thin out pome trees. Farm and (Sarden IVote.. Lack of comfort in animals hinders fattening. Many primroses are killed every year by over-watering. Shearing lambs in midsummer is 1 claimed by English farmers to greatly increase the growth of the carcass. To prevent drain pipes from stop ping up, pdur a hot solution of potash into the pipes every months or two. Many horses have a habit of sleep ing standing. It is not a good one, and horses should be broken of it if possible. Trees on the outside of an orchard are usually more prolific. There I* more sunlight and air, and the roots have a freer range. , Churning sweet cream is not con sidered a good method by many lead- < ing authorities—the better plan being i to allow the cream to ripen somewhat. Potatoes dug in clear weather and thoroughly dried in the sun will keep in much better condition in the bins than ihose that have not been sun- 1 dried. Several years since a gardener dis J o covered that by planting his squash seeds in earth that had a layer of coal ashes above and below it the vines were not molested by cutworms. i A cool, deep and rich soil is Indi- , spensable to success in the culture of j herbaceous plants and bulbs. Es- , pecially is this true of lilies and other ( bulbs that are usually set out at this , season of the year. ( Don’t put rotten potatoes Into the cellar. Don’t put so much corn into one bin that it can’t dry thoroughly. Don't put uncured cornstalks into the i barn unless you want a tire. Don’t , try to feed a bull that you don’t need.. , An Ohio farmer says he killed every potato beetle in a field ‘‘alive with < them," by sprinkling once with a I mixture made in proportion of 5 I pounds each of “slacked lime” and I copperas, and 20 gallons of water. i “Beside, it benefits the plants.” i Plantain, dandelion and other weeds in a lawn may be destroyed by placing a little sulphuric acid with a stick in the crown of each plant The acid 1 should be carried in an open-mouthed 1 bottle with a long handle, so that 1 fingers and clothes are protected. i Household Hints. I If nutmegs are good, when pricked j with a pin, oil will instantly ooze i out. i When sponge cake becomes dry it is , nice to cut in thin slices and toast t To remove mildew, soak in butter- I milk and spread on the grass in tho I sun. t Tho warmth of floors is generally increased by having carpet lining of 1 layers of paper under the carpet. ' Milk, if put in an earthen jar, or 1 even a tin can, will keep sweet for a longtime, if well wrapped in a wet ] cloth. Never put salt into soup when cook ing till it has been thoroughly skimmed, as salt prevents the scum from rising. If sassafras bark is sprinkled among dried fruit and vegetables, it will keep insects from getting in, and will not injure their flavor. Herlpes.

THE RISE OF THE LAMP. A Popular and Useful House hold Articles Origin. Changes in Lamps, and Important In ventions Eelating to Them. Lamps, derived from the Latin : lampus, has been defined, until within a few years, as a receptacle for oil with'a wick for illumination; but the inventions of the past generations have made it impossible to distinguish between the lamp proper and any other artificial means of giving light. As used by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Hebrews, lamps were simple flat ves sels, round or oblong in shape, at one end of which was a small handle, at the other a nozzle, and with a larger opening in the center, into which the oil was poured. The oil commonly used was vegetable, but, according to I’ling, sometimes of liquid bitumen. These lamps, many of very elegant form and ornamentated 'with fanciful designs, were hung by chains to bronze candelabra. Tarentum and were especially famed for making them of great elegance. Among these Canadian French the same low, oval metallic vessels, fur nished as in early days, with a handle at one end and a nozzle at the other, may still be seen. Some are made to be carried in the hand, while others are suspended by chains in the middle of the room. The Hebrews kept their lamps burning all night, and this cus tom is still in vogue in Aleppo and Egypt. From the earliest times until within about a century the lamp re mained much the same, consisting simply of oil and a wick in some kind of a vessel. A complete revolution in artificial light was caused by tiie in vention by M. Ami Argand, in 1784, of a burner with a circular wick. The (lame was th is supplied witli an outer and inner current of air. Argand was also tiie inventor of the glass chimney, as applied to his and other lamps. The so-called astral lamps were pros ided witli these circular wicks, tho reser voir for tiie oil being arranged in the form of a hollow ring, enveloping the central stand that supported the burn er. In consequence of the peculiar shape given to the ring the lamp cast no shadow at a little distance off. An ingenious piece of clockwork machine ry was devised.by Careel, in 1880, for pumping tiie oil from tho reservoir at the foot of the lamp up to tho burner, and thus supplying it always from tiie same point. This lamp, afterward slightly improved by others, was in many respects the most perfect, ot these contrivances, but its great cost prevented its general adoption. It was, furthermore, so largo and heavy that it could be moved only with diffi culty, and the very complicated na ture of Its mechanism required access to skilled workmen to keep it in re pair. A modification of the Carel lamp, known as Hie Diacon, was long popular in this country. In 1787 Peter Keir made the great invention—since fully developed by Aronson—of raising the supply of oil ' by means of anot her fluid with specific gravity greater than oil Tiiis fluid was generally a mixture of salt and water. The “automaton,” invented by Por ter in 1804, was very ingenious. Tho lamp was suspended on an axis, coun terbalanced by a weight, so that it hung level when full, but at an angle of 45 degrees when empty, thus being fed evenly by the gradual ascent of the burners. In 1822 Samuel Parker, Jr., made an important improvement; the fixing of French chimneys upon burners by means of metal supports. The difficulty of distinguishing be tween the countless inventions relative to lamps and those referring to general : illumination does not appear great prior to 1865, when the production of petroleum greatly stimulated the study I of practical methods of generating light. it is remarkable that the invention of Hero of Alexandria, in which the oil was raised by water, involves the pressure principle, since developed in : nearly a hundred forms. It is adapted j to any kind of inflammable fluid, and | | while burning may be rolled on- the ground, upset, or reversed for any time without danger. It is interesting to note that the most important recent I inventions in lamps are chiefly Ameri- I can. A full description of them all ' would occupy volumes; but it is safe to say that no other household article has undergone so many and such marked changes in the past century as the lamp.— Boston Globe.

Roman letters are used by Chris tian nations except the Germans, Danes and Russians. Salmon are so thick in Columbia River, Oregon, that boatmen kill them with oars and clubs. A writer in a Southern medical journal says there is a negro in Texar cana, Tex., who will eat glass in any quantity for pay. He prefers lamp chimneys. Scorpions, spiders and various in sects have been observed to remain motionless if any person blows strong ly upon them in a vertical direction. Queen Victoria keeps a swanherd whose duty it is to brand the birds on the bill. Masses of deep-sea coral, many tons in weight, which were torn from their ocean bed by the volcanic explosion in Sunda Straits two years ago, may now be seen two or three miles inland, whither they were borne by the tidal wave. A French scientific authority states that hens, ducks and geese having dark plumage lay earlier and more frequently than those of a light color —this difference only holding good, however, when tiie birds live in the open air and are freely exposed to the sun. The first English monarch who re fused to touch for the king's evil, or scrofula, was William 111., but the practice was resumed by Queen Anne, who officially announced in the Lon don Gazette her royal intention to re ceive patients afflicted with tho mal ady in question. It was probably about that time that Johnson was touched by her majesty, upon the re commendation of the celebrated phy sican, Sir John Floyer, of Litchfield. A curious bird found in the jungles of Australia is described by a travel ler in that country. He says: “It is called the ballador, or dancer, from its jumping action. Two of them were seen together and carefully studied. As soon as one bird alighted the other bird jumped up, the time being like clockwork in its regularity, and each in turn uttering a note sounding like •to-le-do,’ uttering the syllable ‘to’ as he crouched to spring, ‘le’ while in tho air, and ‘do’ as he alighted—a regular song and dance performanoe.” Still Unknown. Notwithstanding the activity of the civilized races in securing a knowledge of distant countries, there are as yet many serious unsolved geographical problems. It is not known, for in stance, what are tho sources of the great Irawaddy River. It pours into the Bay of Bengal within one-fifth as much water as the Mississippi empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Steamboats ascend it for 800 miles, and yet geo graphers do not know where are its head waters. There is a river called Sanpo, which flows through Thibet north of the Himalayas. This may be the beginning of the Irawaddy, yet on many maps it pours into the Brah mapootra, which makes its way into India. Then there are enormous stretches of South America which are blank on the map. We know the Ori noco River has a delta, but we are en tirely unacquainted with its upper waters. Only two of the twelve chan nels that pour into the Atlantic have been explored. The native Indians, a ferocious race, said to be cannibals, will not permit the exploration of that river. In the vast forest are some very peculiar but degraded races of men. One-third of Madagascar, in the north, has never been explored by white men. One-third of Australia and three-fourths of New Guinea are practically unknown. In Hindostan, there is a rich and populous state called Nepaul, which was never visit ed except by one white man. It is only the other day that Lieutenant Wissman discovered that the Kasai, one of the greatest tributaries of the Congo, wa: one hundred miles west ot the place assigned to it on Stanley’s latest ma; s. Then there are parts of the Dominion to the north of us that are absolutely unknown to the white races. Tiie Arctic and Antarctic cir cles are. and will long remain, a terra incognita.—Demorest's The Ancient and Modern Ark. The following figures concerning the Great Eastern and the Ark are of in terest. Somebody is comparing the size and cost of the Great Eastern and Noah’s Ark. The cost of building and launching the Great Eastern was $3,- 650,000, and this broke the original company. A new company was form ed. which spent $600,000 in fitting and furnishing her. Then this company failed, and a new company was organ ized, with a capital of $500,000. At the close of 18S0 this company sank £86.715 upon the vessel, thus making her total cost $4,703,575. Nothing built can stand comparison with the Great Eastern, excepting Noah’s Ark, and even this vessel could not match her. The length of the Ark was 300 cubits, her breadth 50 cubits, and her height 30 cubits. The cubit of the Scriptures, according to Bishop Wilk ins. was 21'65 in., and computed into English measurement, the Ark 547 ft. 1 long. 91 ft. beam, 54-7 ft. depth, and 21,762 tons. The Great Eastern is 680 ft. ionjr, 83 ft. beam. 56 ft. depth, and 2sj ‘9 ’> tons measurement. So Noa!i’> Ark is quite over-shadowed by the Great Eastern.—Scienttffc Amsri ca& SELECT SIFTINGS. Dr. B.

They are armed with about 200 little lances lashed to the toe of each foot—of which they have several —and at the base of each lance is a tiny sack of venom. In the golden age of the Roman re public assorts of food were extremely cheap, when compared to modern prices. A bushel of wheat sold for eight cents and a bushel of corn for ten. Only as much as half a cent per day was charged at an inn for food and lodgings. Why is a dram-drinker’s nose red? is answered by Dr. Johnson, of Washing ton, D. C., who says that the dram drinker’s heart bea's about thirteen times oftener in the m'nute thm the heart of one who does not use liquor. The ar teries, in consequence of this increased heart action, carry the blood to the nose quicker than the veins carry it back. The blood, therefore remains congealed in the over-fiiled vessels of the nose and face. This was one way of proving that a woman was a witch in the olden time. She was placed upon a chair or stool with her legs tied cross, that all the weight of her body might rest upon one place, and by that means, after some time, the circulation of the blood would be much stopped. She was obliged to remain in this position for twenty-four hours, without either sleep or food. In order to free herself from this torture it is no wonder that she was willing to con fess that she practised witchcraft. Ranks and Salaries in tho Army.

No allowances can be granted to officers in addition to their piy. ex cept quarters and forage furnished in kind, and mileage at the rate of e ght cents per mile allowed for travel under orders. The pay of private soldiers runs from $lB a month and rations for first two years’ service up to s3l a month and rations after twenty years' service. A company usually consisrs of twelve officers and fifty-five men, though the law permits the number of privates to be increased at the discretion of the Presi dedt, but not toe ceed 100. An infantry regiment consists of ten companies and six regimental officers. A cavalry regi ment contains twelve troops—a troop of cavalry having when at its maximum fourteen officers and eighty-four men, but usually consisting of less. In the ordinary arrangement of the army, the law provides that two regiments of in fantry and cavalry shall constitute a brigade, and shall be the command of a brigadier general ; and that two brigades shall constitute a division, and shall be the command of a major general; but the commanding general has power to change this arrangement whenever he may think it proper to do so.— Chicnqt Inter- Ocean. A Bulgarian Legend. A writer in a French paper contributes the Bulgarian version of a legend which, in one shape or other, has a place in the traditions of almost every people with whom we are acquainted. Nine master masons, who were engaged in building a citadel in the time of the Voivoid Neagoe, found on returning to their work each morning that the portion of the wall which they had completed the previous day had fallen to pieces during the night, and was lying a heap of ruins in the ditch. Manol of Curtea, the bead mason, informed his comrades one morn ing that a voice from heaven had warned him in his sleep that their labors would continue to come to nought unless they all swore that morning to immure iu the structure the first woman, wife or sister, who should arrive with the morning meal of one or either of them. They al) took the oath, and the last mtn had hardly be< n sworn when ManoFs owe wife made her appearance, bringing hei husband’s breakfast. Manol kept the oath, and “Hora of the fields'' disap peared in the mass of the rapidly-rising masonry. A curious practice of the Bul garian masons wh\h survives to this day testifies to the vitality of the legend.
