Premiums for Beautiful Towns.
A citizon of Berkeley lias offered a
premium of twenty dollars for tho best
hedge, other than cypress, in front of
tho lot of nny resident of that town.
Tho Berkeley town improvement
society has designated suitable trees for
tho various streets of thut town, and
has offored to plant trees, water nud
cultivate them in front of tho lotH of
uon-rosidents for ono year, at the low
cost of ono dollar for each tree. As
half of this sum would bo expended for
the purchase of trees nlono l it is u
capital opportunity for all who have
unimproved lots in thut promising town.
This improvement society is now in
vigorous operation, and it may bo
safely predicted that in live years this
socioty will have wrought a work which
will attract tho attention of tho entire
State.
We learn that tho town of Santa Bobu
has an association which is directed to
local improvements, and that consider
able in that way has been accomplished
in that pleasant town. In two or throe
other towns of tho State kindred asso
ciations have boon organized, or arc in
progress of formation. There is now
hardly a State in tho Union which has
not one or moro of theso town improve
ment societies, which luvo originated
within a fow years, and all since the
organization of the parent society about
forty years ago in Stoekbridge, Massa
chusetts, although tho first real im
provement society was organized in NcW
Havon nearly seventy-five years ago by
James Hillhowsand others, and resulted
in the planting of tho elms which arc
now the most distinguishing feature of
that handsomo city.
It is not yet too late in tho season to
do a good work in tho way of treo-plant
ing in towns and villages and alone

mako the improvements suggested. Bm
theso generally go by default for tli
lack of tho stimulus of good examples,
A few enterprising citizens, men and
women, making a practical demonstru
tion of the way the work can be done,
will often sthnulato hundreds of otheie

A collection of cheap wooden houses

con work a wonderful transformation
There is not one of theso towns or vil
lages which cannot bo made attractive
in its approaches and attractive inter
nally by twenty resolute and enterprise
ing citizens who set their hearts on such
an improvement. Theso villages ought
not to be so unattractive that a stranger
wants to get away as soon as possible,
but should be mode so inviting that he
will naturally go there for a period of
rest, and liking the place, will buy prop
erty and influence capital to tako the
some direction. Something in this di
rection has already been accomplished
A great deal remains to bo done. If
the initiative is to be taken this season,
there are only a few weeks loft which

Something more about making leather
waterproof: Take of tallow four ounces;
resin and beeswax each one ounce; melt

too hot, and rubbed in before the fire,
making boots both waterproof and pli-

Copper has been detected in the soil
of a churchyard, and in portions of ex
humed bodies.
At Thebes an ancient Egyptian papy
rus roll containing a treatise on medi

It has been discovered that a minute
fungus will eauso fermentation in a so
lution of glucose, while it does not nf-

been taken of this fact to separate cane
sugar from molasses, tho glucose un

ing the cane sugar to crystallize out.
A paper said to be proof against fire

It is then made into paper, which is
finally coated with shellac varnish.
The new invention, the photophone, a

A medical missionary has learned tho
curious fact tlmt Mongol doctors aro not

mended to put a piece of loadstone into
each ear and chow a piece of iron in his

Tho researches of Professor Quincke
indicate that tho change of volumo of
solid nud liquid bodies under electrical
influence is not duo to heat, for the
change produced in the volume of futty
oils is ono of contraction. Tho sumo in

A dairying company of London have
a laboratory at which samples of milk
received from farmers aro subjected to
chemical analysis. Prizes have been of
fered by tho company, which aro to bo
given those farmers whoso milk supply
stands highest in quality during a stated
period of time. Tho samples of milk
are carefully examined by tho company’s
analyst, whoso analyses anti-reports will
lecido the competition for tho prizes. It
is expected that much valuable informa
tion respecting methods for producing
the richest possible milk will bo elicited
in this way.
If elastic gum is warmed, then ex
panded and wound in a spiral upon a
glass ttibo or wire, nnd coolod for a
short timo in a cooling mixture, it shows
no tendency to contract; but when it is
submitted to hot wator it roturns quickly
to its original length. Tho phenome
non can also bo made to appear without
the use of tho cooliug mixture. If ono
holds heated gum a second in an ex
panded condition it shows no disposition
to return to its original length. Max
well lias found that similar phenomena
aro produced in gutta perolia.
For tho purposo of determining tho
capacity of a horse to undergo tho
privations incident to a stato of sioge, a
series of experiments liavo been made
in Paris. Tho results show that a liorsu
may hold out for twonty-five days with
out any solid nourishment, provided it
s supplied with suilicientgood drinking
water; that a horse can subsist on bar
ley five days without water, and, that if
i horse is well fed for ten days, but
.nsufilciently supplied with water
hroughout this peiiod, it will not out
live the eleventh day. A horse which
laid received no solid nourishment for
twolvo days was nevertheless in a con
dition to draw a load of six hundred
pounds on tho twelfth day of its fast.
Tho Sunflower In Russia.
In Southwestern Russia, between the
Baltic and the Black seas, the sunflower
is universally cultivated iu fields, gar
dens and borders, and every part of tho
plant is turned to practical account. A
hundred pounds of tho seeds yield forty
pounds of oil, and the pressed residue
forms a wholcsomo food for cattle, as
also do the leaves and tho grass stalks,
cut up small, all being eagerly eaten.
The fresh flowers, when a little short of
full bloom, furnish a dish for the table
which bears favorable comparison with
tho artichoke. They contain a large
quantity of lionoy, and so prove an at
traction to bees. Tho seeds aro a valuable
food for poultry; ground into flour
pastry and cakes can be made from them,
and boiled in alum water they yielded
coloring matter. The carefully dried
leaf is used as tobacco. The seed re
ceptacles aro made into blotting paper
and tlio inner part of tho sock into fine
writing paper; tho woody portions are
consumed u-s fuel, and from the result
ing ash valuable potash is obtained.
Largo plantations of them in swampy
places are a protection against intermit
tent fever.
An editor had just finished an able
and lengthy editorial on the “Physical
Degeneracy of Women,” when a robust
female entered the office, with a cart-
whip in one hand and a copy of his
paper in the other. As the editor threw
open a window and was about to spring
out, the woman modestly said she had
“ brought the lost whip advertised in
yesterday’s paper, and she wanted the
fifty cents reward offered.”
Transplautliiff J’each Trees.
As soon in the spring as the ground
has dried out enough to work well, go
into the plat to bo planted in peach
treos, with a steady team, and with tho
aid of stakes mark it off twenty feet
apnrt; then turn upon it nnd check it
off twenty feet the other way, running
through and turning and running back
in tho samo furrow, trench-plowing
it. You aro now ready for transplant
ing. Early varieties should be planted
on tho thinnest soil, and on southorn
and eastern exposures, as such expo
sures promote early ripening. Late
varieties should bo planted on strong
land and on northern slopes, as such
situations retard ripening. Each vari
ety should bo planted in a block or
square. To illustrate: If you have a
hundred trees of ono variety it is much
better to plant in ten rows, with ten
trees in eaeh row, than to plant in
two rows with fifty trees in ea-li row.
When you come to picking you will find
this method of planting much more con
venient than tho old way. When con
venient, plant early sorts in the front of
tho orchard, planting back in the order
of ripening, so you will not liavo to pass
la to varieties to get to early ones, but
can tako them clean as you go. When
yon got your trees from the nursery, heel
them in temporarily in the orchard.
Cut off all mutilated roots, making a
smooth cut on the under side. When
pinning them in the ground, two men go

ing finished tho hole, ono man takes tho
treo in ono hand while the other presses
tho dirt iu close contact with tho roots,
and keeping tho roots in a horizontal
position; at tho same timo tho other
man, by a shaking motion of tho spade,
works in the loose dirt and fills the hole.
Then tramp firmly with the foot so as to
settle tho ground around tho troes; then
mound up u little. When you aro done

Tho most substantial walks and car
riage roads are first excavated to a depth
of a foot or more, then small or broken
stone placod at the bottom, smaller ones
on these, then gravel and tar mixed
coarse sand and tar on this, and usually
an inch of fine gravel at the surface
When there is a hard, gravelly subsoil
and good natural drainage less excava-
tion is required.
Recipes.
Chicken Pillau.—Cut a chicken into
pieces the size you wish to serve at tho
table. Wash clean, and put in a stow
pan with about one-eighth of a pound of
salt pork, which has been cut iu small
pieces. Cover with cold water, and boil
gently until the chicken begins to grow
tender, which will be in about an hour
unless the chicken is old. Season ratlior
highly with salt and pepper, add three
teacupfuls of rice, which has boon picked
and washed, and lot boil thirty or forty
minutes loriger. There should be a good
quart of liquor in the stewpan when rice
is added. Care must bo taken that it
does not burn. Instead of chicken any
kind of meat may be used.
Hop Yeast.—Three large potatoes
one handful of hops; put in a small
bag; put the potatoes and hops into
jwo quurts of water and boil down to
jno quart; take out the bag of hops and
potatoes, mash the potatoes fine and
throw back into the boiling water; stir
flour into this while hot until it is quite
stiff; let it stand until it is nearly cold,
then add half a cupful of yeast, half
cupful of sugar, one tabkapoonful of
salt and half a tablespoonful of ginger
set iu a warm place to rise; when ligh
put in a covered jar and place in a cool
place.
Lemon Whip Pudding.—Soak an ounoe
of gelatine and the thin rind of two
lemons in a pint of cold water for an
A Grain Elevator.
In order to begin at tho beginning—
get to tho bottom, ns it were, of an clo-
ator—ono must climb to the very top.
Tho building is perhaps 150 feet long
by 8cventy-ilvo feet wide, and, like all
of its class, it rises eighty feet or moro
to tho caves, above which a narrow top
part forty or fifty feet higher, is perched
upon the lidge-polo. It is built of wood,
sheathed with corrugated iron a littlo
way up, and then slated tho rest of the
way.
Entering ono end, where two railway
tracks run into tho building, wo find a
narrow wooden stairway, and begin our
ascent. Tlio flights are short ones, but
eighteen aro stepped over before wo
emerge into the topmost attic. Along
sido of us, as we climbed, has been run
ning the strong belt which carries tho
power from the great engino on tho
ground floor to tho gearing in the roof
—a bolt of rubber canvas four feet wide,
and perhaps 250 feet long.
When grain is bought—perhaps
hundred car-loads from tho vast fields
of Dakota or tho wide farms between
here and St. Paul—tho train is backed
light into tho elevator, and stands so
that opposite each ear door is a re
ceiver, which is a land of vat or hop
per, in tho platform. By tho help of
steam-shovels, operating almost auto
matically, two men in each car will in
ton minutes or less empty tho whole
train.
As fast as the grain is dumped tho re
coiver delivers it to iron buckets hold
ing about a pock each, which
aro attached to endless belts, and
travel up a sort of chimney,
called a “leg,” to this roof chambor
Those buckets will hoist 6,000 bushels
an hour at their ordinary rate of speed.
That is equal to ono bucket going up
21,000 times, nt tho rate of 400 times a
minute—tolerably lively work ! To-day
up hero in the topmost loft there is noth
ing doing, and wo are saved strangula
tion. The light hardly penetrates
through tlio cobwebbed windows,
and tho most pulverous of dust lies
everywhere half an inch doe]), showing
tho marks of a fow boot soles, many
foot-prints of rats, ami the lace-like
tracks of spiders and bugs. You slop
over and under broad horizontal belts
s you mako your way gingerly from ono
i .id of the attic to the other. They run
tlio fans that winnow the grain as it
comes up in tho buckets, after which it
is dropped into tho hoppers, ten feet
wide and twico as deep, that open like
hatchways every few feet in tho center
of tho floor. Now all is perfectly quiet;
wo aro so high that oven the clamor of
tho wharves does not reach us. But
when tho machinery starts iu motion,
then fearful roars, and clash of cogs, and
whipping of slackened belts, assault
the garret, until this whole upper rogion
rocks like a ship in a gale, and chat)'
and dust cloud tho eyes and stiflo the
throat.
Descending ono story wo find another
garret, with nothing in it but tho square
bodies of the hoppers. Going down a
second (light shows us that the hoppors
aro suspended not upon pillars, but
loosely on iron stirrups, so as to shake
a little, and tho iron gate which lets on
or shuts off the fall of the grain through
the tubular orifice at the bottom is
operated by steam.
There are twelve of these hoppers.
Sticking up through the floor' under
neath eaeh one gape the flaring mouths
of twelve spouts or sluices, all of which
point directly at the gato iu the hopper,
as though earnestly begging its bounty
of grain. Every one of these 144 spouts
leads into a bin, near or distant, and all
are numbered, so that the superintend
ent knows which spout conducts to any
ono bin, and-can distribute his cargoes
accordingly, tho result of liis choice
being recorded in cabalistic abbrevia
tions upon a blackboard close by. A
movable conductor is swung into place
between tho hopper and the spout, the
gate pulled open, and down slides tho
wheat, with a musically rushing noise,
into the grateful bin.
To see the bins we descend again,
this time reaching the top of tho wide
part of the building. We walk very
circumspectly, in the half-light, amid a
maze of beams, stringers and cross
pieces of wood and iron. The whole
interior of the olevator below this level
is now seen to consist of a series of
rooms, between which there is no com
munication. They are ceilingless, and
the only exit from them is through a
spout in the bottom. Peering over the
edges from the narrow foot-walks, we
can only guess how far the person would
fall who should lose his balance, for the
eye cannot reach the bottom ; it is sixty-
five feet below, and hidden in darkness.
Of those deep bins there are 144, some
twice the size of others. Sometimes
they are all full at once, and hold eight
or nine hundred thousand bushels,
weighing fifty millions of pounds, and
good for over two hundred thousand
barrels of -flour.—Ernest Ingersoll, in
Harper's Magazine.
