    LIGHT KEEPERS.
Men Who Attend to Uncle
Sam’s Beacons.
A J<eeper Is Expected to Stand
By His Lighthouse to the Last.
There arc in the scvico of (lie
United States 1150 lighthouse keepers.
The average salary is $(500, but by n
system of grading some get as high as
$1000. Discipline is very stri t. F. r
two ofl'euco; the penalty is immediate
dismissal. A keeper found under the
influence of liquor is not only dis-
missed from the service but he is eject¬
ed from the lighthouse us soon as pos¬
sible. The keeper wli > allows his light
to go out is dismissed, no matter what
liia excuse may be or how good iiis
conduct may have been. These arc
the two unpardonable sins,
i The keeper is expected to stand by
his light as long as the lighthouse
stands. The Sharp's Island lighthouse
in Chcsapenkc Bay, was lifted from
its foundations, thrown upon its side,
and carried away by the iec. The
keepers had a boat and might have
made their way ashore. Instead of
looking out for their own safety they
remained with the lighthouse wreck,
floating about until it grounded. Then
they carried ashore the movable por¬
tions of the light, the oil, the library,
and even the empty oil cans. They
were drifting at the mercy of the ice
cakes and without food or fire for six¬
teen hours. The keepers of another
lighthouse, becoming alarmed at the
ice, abandoned their post and went
ashore. They were immediately dis¬
missed. It made no difference that the
ice rendered the light unnecessary.
The offence was the same. The two
keepers who had clung to the light¬
house that floated away were promoted
to the lighthouso which the two un¬
faithful keepers abandoned.
Where the lighthouse is loca'ed on
land the keeper is encouraged to keep
a little garden. A barn is built for
his cattle and horses. But where the
keeper must step from his door into a
boat, the best that the Government can
do is to sec that he has a staunch craft.
Some lighthouses are so far from sup¬
plies that the Government issues fuel
and rations to the keeper.
) One of the interesting features of
lighthouse life is the library which the
Government furnishes. There are
550 of these libraries. They are kept
moving. When the inspector comes
along on a quarterly inspection ho
brings a fresh library nnd takes the
old one on to the next lighthouse.
Each library consists of about fifty
volumes of history, science, poems,
and fiction in about equal proportions.
The libraries are put up in neat cases.
In the course of a year each lighthouse
keeper handles about 200 volumes.
One of the strict regulations is that
the keeper must not engage in any
business which can interfere with his
presence at the lighthouse. This,
however, docs not prevent keepers
from working at trades like tailoring
and shoemaking, which do not require
them to be away from the lighthouso
much of the time. There are keepers
who preach in neighboring churches,
who act as justices of the peace,and who
can teach school. A nice source of
revenue was cut oil' not long ago by an
order which prohibited keepers of
lighthouses from taking summer hoard¬
ers. There is a fascination about life
in a lighthouse for a few weeks it
seems. Keepers were overwhelmed
with applications for spare rooms, and
some of them were making more than
their salaries in this way, when the
Board felt compelled to step in and
prohibit the renting of summer quar¬
ters in buildings constructed and
owned by the government.—[New
York Sun.
Nevada's Salt Mountains.
The salt mountains located on the
banks of the Rio Virgin, an affluent
of the Colorado River in Lincoln
County, Ncv., cover an nroa of twcn-
v-five miles, extending to within seven
miles of the junction of that stream
with the Colorado. The salt they con¬
tain is pure and white nnd clearer
than glass, and it is said that a pieco
seven or cigh*. inches (hick is some¬
times clear enough to see through to
read a newspaper. Over the salt is
a layer of sandstone from two to eight
feet thick, and when this is torn away
the salt appevrs like a huge snowdrift.
How deep it is has not jet been ascer¬
tained, but r. single blast of giant
powder will blow out tons of it.
Under the cap rock have been discov¬
ered charred wood and charcoal, and
matting made of cedar bark, which the
salt has preserved, evidently the camp
of prehistoric man.—[Scientific Ameri¬
can.
He !Knew His Man.
The late Senator Beck once fell
asleep after dinner in company with a
couple of prosy members of Congress.
One of these reproached the Sena¬
tor. “I have not been asleep,” said
Reck; “and, to prove it, I will back
myself to repeat all you have bceu
saving.” The wager was accepted,
and he recited a long story which the
Congressman had been telling. When
he had pocketed his money, Beck said.
“Well, to confess tlio truth, I never
r.eai d one word of it. i went to sleep
because 1 knew that about this time iu
the evening you would telUhat story.”
l’OR FARM A>» UARDES.
TIIE REST BREEDS OE SWINE.
Agriculture, liko other industries, is
passing through a radical change, a
change from tho roots up, for this is
the meaning of the word radical. Con¬
sequently, materials, as well as meth¬
ods, must change. And, ns regards
tho rearing of swine, old breeds which
have been kept for years past for the
production of clear moss pork—all fat,
and thick, heavy fat too—and which is
now unsalable except at greatly de¬
creased prices, must now he changed
for smaller kinds which grow rapidly,
make lean meat, and arc always ready
to kill.—[American Agriculturist.
BURNING BRUSH ON LAND.
Wherever a heap of hardwood brush
has been burned, the crop for a year
or two af er will grow vigorously,
but yet with hard, firm stalk, duo t >
the potash which the fire has added to
the soil. But alter two, or at most
three seasons, this gain is no longer
seen, suggesting, perhaps, that tho heat
on the s dl put in soluble form some of
its latent fertility, and when this is
used up, the soil relapses into iri for¬
mer condition. It inay even bo lliat
the burning of logs and brush on the
land, whoa the country was newly
cleared, gave a fictitious fertility to the
new land above what it was really en¬
titled to. New land now carefully
cleared nnd all tho wood removed
without, burning, is not much, if any,
richer than that long cultivated, if
carefully managed, and given a due
proportion of clover and manure.—
[Boston Cultivator.
CROSS OK HOLSTEIN AND SHORTHORN.
The Shorthorns have been bred for
beef for nearly 10 D years, and are
doubtless the best cattle for this pur¬
pose in existence. But in tins special
breeding the milking quality lias been
lost except iu a few herds of the
Princess family, which in tho hands of
skillful dairymen have been improved
in tliis respect and make fair milkers,
but hy no means equal to the special
dairy breeds, as the Jerseys and the
llolstciiis, which are the lest of all
this kind of cattle. But these differ so
much in character that a choice be¬
tween them should be made Judiciously
iu regard to the circumstances in each
case.
The Ilolsteins arc large cattle,
equaling the Shorthorns in weight,
and when fatted make excellent
beeves. They require as good pasture
»nd feeding as the Shorthorns, and
but. a few of them give rich milk. By
selecting a hull of known rich milking
family, a cross on Shorthorn cows
would unquestionably produce good
dairy stock, and the second cross
would he equal to the pure-bred ones.
For some sections this cross would he
better than that with the Jerseys on
account of tlio size and beef quality,
and the cross-bred Holstein Shorthorn
steers would make excellent beeves,
while the cows would he profitable
milk and butter makers.—[New York
Times.
MANAGEMENT OE SHEEP.
The flock of sheep need special care
and watchfulness. Tho lambing, the
welfare of the lambs, the feeding of
the weak ewes, the shearing and
troubles from the evor-nctivo parasites,
will all call for imu ediate attention.
A good plneo should be made for the
young lambs so that no harm can be¬
fall them. When the (locksare turned
out to pasture a good shed for shelter
should bo furnished them. The ewes
need nttendin ; to, and feeding ns well,
if fine lambs arc expected. Grass
alone is not sufficient, but corn, rye
and buckwheat, finely ground together,
should he fed lliein every day.
They have a double function to per¬
form, to rear large, tine lambs, and to
yield a good supply of fleece. Tho
English sheep breeders have a good
mixture for the young lambs, which is
known as lamb or calf meal. It sup¬
plies all of the essentials of milk, and
is easily digestible. This mixture con¬
sists of three bushels of pons, one
bushel of linseed, one bushel of rye and
100 pounds of fine wheat bran finely
ground together. Mixed with these
substances are twenty piutuls of
ground sugar, five pounds of salt and
one pound of brown ginger and a
pound of caraway seeds.
The purity of the drinking water is
another essential part trf the diet of
ewes and lambs. If tins is not | nre
the milk of the ewes will become
tainted, and t’.ie Iambi suffer from the
eflects.
The Iambs should be docked at an
early age. If this is done about a
month after its birth the pain is very
tritling and the loss of blood small,
Cleanliness is an important factor in
earing for" the flock. 'I his is Ihe only
safeguard against blowflies, if soft
(iith is allowed to accumulate they wiil
deposit their larva? in it, and in time
fairly devour the animal’s life—[Bos¬
ton Cultivator.
POULTRY PICKINGS.
Many beginners wonder why their
ebickens, which seem to be lively when
i few days old, begiu to droop aud
drop off, one by ouc. Look on top of
the head and under their throats, and
you will discover the cause—lice
Prevention here is better than cure.
What about that flock of barn-yard
Coif’s? Mat:y flocks hardly keep the
farmer’s table supplied with eggs and
broilers. It is true that pure-bred
poultry ia the best to keep; a good
breed will, under proper management,
yield far more in profits than does
common stock. They eat no more.
The incubator scorns to have a “cor¬
ner on chickens.” It goes to work
late in the fall, turning out the living
bulls of down each month, and by
April a lot of broilers are ready, when
the old hen is just beginning to get out
with her first brood. Four months
ahead means bandsotno profits at top
prices.
Broken oyster-shells and bone are
both excellent food for bens. As the
ingredients of shell-making material
are to be bad in both, the valuo of it
for hens at any season of the year is
certainly apparent. Any restaurant or
fish market will be glad to make ar¬
rangements to give away what they
have; all the expense will be that of
removing (hem.
The abundant rains which generally
fall in spring will suggest tho neces¬
sity of good drainage for the poultry-
yard. Dampness is invariably tlio
open do'r to r-tip. Fill up all hollow
places where filthy water accumulates
after a rain. A chicken will see no
more harm in drinking impure water
than a man would in vile liquors. If
the yard is properly kept this will im¬
mediately obviate the trouble.
Tho meadow below the barn ii
where we advise turning out the fowls,
at ten o’clock in tho morning, or a
little earlier, perhaps. Ihe chickens
all like a change of scene. AVc never
permit them out later than noon, at
which time they are driven into the
coops and given a warm feed of vege¬
tables with a little grain. They art
then content to remain within tho in-
closure of a wire or picket run, and
suffer none from tho confinement.
Wet days wc keep them in.
A large, bright-red com!) shows a
layer. A healthy hen shows her con¬
dition hy the color of her comb. A
purplish-red comb indicates something
disordered. One in this condition
will lay hut little. Iler general ap'
pcarancc is stupid; excrement thin
and watery. She is a lit subject to
take in hand and tnend. i’lace her in
a warm, clean pen by herself, and feed
carefully a few days with stimulants.
Wc never do much doctoring. The
halcliet is our remedy.— [American
Agriculturist.
FARM AND HARDEN NOTES.
Keep ahead of the weeds.
Adapt methods to soil and condi¬
tions.
Keep the poultry quarters dry and
clean.
Wholesome field drink—oatmeal
water.
The secret of tlio largo yields is rich
soil, good seed and thorough tillage.
A belt punch and a harness-maker’s
awl often come handy upon (he well
regulated farm.
The farm may not yield big profits,
but is there any other calling so sure
to give a man a living?
I)o not risk your success on a single
crop, or in other words, do not put all
your eggs into one basket.
The fruit orchard wants no fresh
and fermenting manures. Givcit ma¬
nure that is well decomposed.
A good, well-flavored, solid straw¬
berry is much more desirable than one
that is big, hollow, insipid and soft.
How are the roads in your neighbor¬
hood? Are you preparing to do some
good, honest work on them this sea-
son ?
The sulphates and tho muriates are
the two principal forms in which pot-
arii is supplied for fertilizing pur¬
poses.
If you are m favor of sulphate of
potash being put on the free list,write
to your member of Congress and tell
him so.
Tho crop which is most difficult to
grow is (lie ono that is the most profit¬
able to tho grower. It is the skilled
labor that captures the cash.
A particular fertilizer may he bene¬
ficial on ono farm or field and of no
value on another, because that partic¬
ular ingredient is not needed.
If late with your corn planting,
would it not be batter to put in each
few acres as you get tho land ready
and not wait till you have it nil pre¬
pared?
How Thickens Are Fattened.
This is the way a chicken or duck it
fattened in Strasburg, Germany:
Thrust into a cylinder, it is kept in
darkness for three weeks; thrice per
diem a patent food, composed largely
of cornmcal, is forced by a small
pump into its crop; 5t enjoys no al-
j tentative; it must sleep and fatten.
Paralyzed by inertia, its fiesii becomes
white and tender, and in three weeks
it is as fat as a ball of butter. The
cost of fattening a chicken docs not
exceed eight cents. A chicken so fat¬
tened brings ten cents more a pound
in the market than other chickens.—
[Chicago News.

Science is to lecture to-night. Can’t I

York Weekly.
Sense of Smell.
It is a fact that among many savage
tribes the sense of smell is almr.st as acute
as in some of the lower animals. The
Peruvian Indians arc able, according middle to
lfumboldt, to distinguish in the
of the n'ght whether an American, uppvoacbing In¬
stranger is a European,
dian, or negro. M. Ilouzenu also assorts
that he proved by repeated experiments distinguish
that negroes and Indiums can Indian
persons in the dark by their odor.
travelers have recorded that certain na¬
tives who habitually ulntaiu from animal
food have a sense of smell which is so
exquisitely delicate that they can tell
from which well a vessel of water has
been obtained. By smell alone the ne¬
groes of the Antilles will detect the foot¬
steps of a Frenchman frcni those of a
negro. The guides from who Aleppo accompany to
travelers on the route
Babylon will tell by smelling the desert
sand how near they arc to the latter
place. But tlio people gifted with deli¬
cate olfactory nerves above all others, are
the aborigines of Australia; and to such
an extent is their gift relied upon that
the government had, a few years back, ft
number of natives on the police force who
were employed solely as trackers for
hunting out criminals by smell alone,
which they did with the greatest success.
The Cleansing Properties of Soap.
These are owing to the soda and potash Dirt
which enter iuto its composition. whether off
requiring to be washed away,
the skin or clothing, is owing principally
to dust particles and matters If of fats a more oils or
le s greasy or fatty nature. is well known or
arc added to pure water, it
they do not mix or dissolve iu that liquid, be¬
but if soap is present the fats and oils
come readily dissolvable. The effect of
soup, which is a combination of the alka
lies of soda and potash and fatty acids,
is, therefore, to unite with the
greasy and fatty matters, rendering
them soluble in water. The alka¬
lies of soda and potash which are con¬
tained in soap are more powerful cleans¬
ers when used alone; hut in that case
their action is too energetic, as they tend
to destroy animal and vegetable fiber,
and hence are injurious to the skin and
to fabrics. They therefore require to it
have their energies toned down, as
were, and this is accomplished by uniting
them with the fatty acids. When soap
is dissolved in water, the soda or potash the
is set free to some extent, and seizes
grease and dirt present, which thus be¬
comes soluble, and are washed away by
the water.
The art of Leaving.
The art of leaving is le?s understood by
women th n by men. The habits of
business, the recognized fact that to a
business m u time is money, the throng
and press and exactness of business life,
all tend to m ike men who live in cities
the best possible exemplars of the fine
art of leaving quickly and neatly. A
business man’s social cull is usually
a model of good manners in
this respect. When he has
said what he has to say, and
listened to what there is to hear, he takes
his hat, says “good evening,” and is out
of your presence without giving tedious any
time or chance for the too often
aud embarrassing commonplaces of mu¬
tual invitations and promises to call again,
which seem to be a kind of social formula
with women. In striking contrast with
this neat and skillful method of cutting
short the parting words of an interview
or call, isihe too common social practice leave,
of visitors, who, commencing to
seem temporarily to abandon their pur¬
pose, and linger, as though it were a
kind of compliment to the v siting party
to appear loth to part company.
Sheet-Glass.
An improved method of making sheet-
glass is said to have been perfected by
an American manufacturer. At present
such fihiss is made by blowing a cylinder, side it
and after cutting it down on one
is allowed to unroll itself by its own
weight while resting in a hot state upon
a flat surface. In this new method the
glass in a semi-liquid molten condition is
submitted to the action of hollow metal
rollers, which are heated on the inside hy
steam or ga°, and it. is by them rolled
out in a thin sheet much after ihe man¬
ner in which plate glass is made, The
new process is said to furnish sheet-glass
of a high quality nt a cheaper rate than
was before practicable.
Cauliflower Pie.
Take one large or two small eaubflow-
ers. 1 ‘iirboil, aud then shred them in
small pieces, green parts and flower alike.
Butter a pie dish, put the cauliflower
therein, season it with pepper and salt,
then pour iu us much good batter as will
fill the dish. Hake and serve very hot.
When a man feels the want of society
he has only to go to some desolate place is
to live and have it given out that he a
hermit, to receive m ro visitors than lie
con entertain.

Train Your Left Hand.
It is somewhat strange that so strong
a prejudice against tho left hand has
Hived nnd increased for centuries when
there is no natural examine or physiological the skeleton renson of
for it. If you n
person who was strong, healthy and well
formed in life, you will find that the
hones of the left hand and arm are just in
as many and just ns large and perfect
formation as those of the right. show The
study of physiology will moreover
you that the muscles, ligaments and carti¬
his lages body that fastened perfect that person's in arms to in
were as one arm as
the other. If the left were the
weaker of the twr, it was because
of neglect to exercise it. In monk¬
eys, cats and othe. animals, paws an-
swer tlie purpose of hands, and they
would smile derisively should you sug¬
gest to them that paws were this side rights could or
lefts, or that the paws on
do more than those upon the other.
When, therefore, a boy or girl says that
he or she can throw a ball, handle with a ten¬ the
nis bat or do anything else only
right hand, it is a direct admission that a
monkey or a cat is physically more ad¬
vantageously equipped; yet it is the gen¬
eral belief that human creatures arc the
most perfectly formed creatures, First
attempts to use the left hand are always
awkward and discouraging; but in ordi¬
nary cases persistency will gradually
strengthen the least-used member and
teach it to act as ably and sturdily as the
right, till finally there will be two per¬
fect hands instead of one.
Some one says that the “happiest-look- burdened
ing man is the one who is not
with wealth.” He evidently did not
form his opinion from seeing a friend re¬
turning from the races.
