to the present town of Albion. D. A.

post-trader and postmaster at that time.

Tho Journal of Hero ml ruction states
that an infant loses from three to six

it should have regained its birth weight;
from that to the fifth month it ought to

about six drams n day; after tho fifth

showing that nn immense cavity exists
in the eartli iu this quarter. A man in
Laurens, 8. C., dug a well down to a
point whero each stroko of tho pick
produced a hollow sound, and finally
tlie botton of the well fell out. A lino

clotheslines of the neighborhood no one
could find whero tho bottom went to,
and all hope of recovery has been aban
doned. In another town a part of tho
highway disappeared recently into n
bottomless pit, and tho authorities nro
afraid to look into it. A local professor
lias made a careful computation and
says that it will take all the earth in
the county to fill tho cavity up, and the
road commissioners will have to bridgo
it over or resign. In tho town of

with the shipbuilding trade, but now it
is largely inhabited by Hungarian, Polish
and Bohemian Jews. ’ It is, in fact, tlie
great Hebrew centre of population. Its
1,077 tenements contain 10,710 families,
and its 110 acres show 77,504 inhabitants,
or 482 people to the acre. North of it
lies the Eleventh Ward, with l!Ki acres
and 78,778 inhabitants, being an average
of 330 to the acre. To the south extends
the famous Sixth Ward, inf imous for its
slums, with eighty-six acres only and
20,1! (i inhabitants. But this is scarcely
a fair showing, for half the area of the
once ‘bloody t-ixth’ is now devoted to
warehouses and bus'll" s structures, and
its apparent average of 2-W people to the
acre should really be made Bis. In point
of fact, its tenements are inor thickly
populated, viler and more dangerous to
public morals and health than any other

It was toward the end of the first cen
tury of our era that a great mandarin of
tho palace, a distinquished physician,
discovered the secret, of making a very
fine paste with tho bark of several trees
and old silk stuffs, by boiling them in
water. Ho made with this paste differ
ent kinds of papers. To-day the chi—
which is the nam - given to paper in
( liiua—is manufactured with divers ma

berry bark, with that of tlio cotton treo
and several other trees particularly tho
bamboo; of tire aud wheat straw, and,
lastly, of the littio skin which is found
in tlie cocoon of .silkworms.

Butter takes nothing from tho soil
that affects its fertilization as does crops
of cereals. It is almost wholly carbon,
which is derived by tlie plants from tlio
air. Butter, though sometimes high in
ju ice, is really produced from the cheap
est element known.
It will surprise old jioultry growers to
learn that the common hawk is regarded
te ft valuable bird. He destroys ICO field
mice for every chicken, and if there bo
a fair amount of sli ubbery around lit
henyard very few chickens will be lost
from bis depredations.
AVhon wheat is sown on very dry soil
the condition may bo greatly improved
by thoroughly harrowing the field, which

until the requisite moisture for germina
tion is obtained.
Dims been repeatedly shown that tho
amount of butter that can be obtained
from milk by any of the otdiimrv pro
cesses is no guide to the amount of fat
that may be in tlie milk. Hence to as
sume that a poor butter cow may not bo
a good cheese cow, or that blie neces
sarily gives poor milk, is a gross error.
The best timo to apply itslios to grass
land is early in spring. The quantity
should vary with tlie needs of tlio noil,
end tliis can he determined only by ex
perience, some .‘oils requiring much less
than others according to their composi
tion; hut tlie usual amount is twenty lo
fifty bushels per acre. Occasionally
much larger.npplR-ations have been found
useful. It is tiest to try different quan
tities in different parts of the same field,
and measure the result on tlio crops.
Manure-water is easily made. A
sunken hogshead iu tho barnyard, cov
ered with a lot of white oak saplings,
four or five inches through, will fill up
with tlie first rain nnd bo strong enough
to make crops laugh over an acre < r
more of land if mixed with plenty of
water The application should not bo
stronger than one-fourth manure-water
to three parts water. Nitrate of soda
may bo very effectively applied in this
way, say on pound to ten gallons of
water, or three pounds to the barrel.
Tlie days of tlie cabbage worm are
numbered, it would seem, 'they have,
according to 1‘rofcssor Forbes, of tlio
Illinois Department of Agriculture, been
clearly les . abundant in many sections
during tlie pa-t season than previously.
This difference is due apparently to a
destructive disease of tho worm, which
was first reported on in 1882. Mopes are
entertained by some of our wide-awake
entomologists that tlie disease may be
propagated and extended artificially,and
efforts re being directed toward such a
desirable end. It is, to say the least, en
