THE
ELDHEDGE
Beat ftngur In *Allf«»ls.
During last y«*»r there were nearly
sano.mio.tiio worth of fiugar raised in
this State. Neighboring farmer* raise
the beets for the factory; the company
making contracts with growers to takv
the beets, usually ut from #4 to ?4.-
per ton. The factory han paid on
about 890,000 per year for beets. At one
time about 7,000 tons of beets had been
bought by the establishment; .>ut not
withstanding the deductions made at
the time of buying, there remained
only 7,150 tons of washed beet to be
manufactured into sugar. The yield
of beets is said to average from fifteen
to twenty or thirty tons per acre, the
beets needing no irrigation! This re
sult is better than the product in Ger
many, whero the yield, even with the
use of fertilizers, averages only twelve
tonstotlio acre. The yield of sugar
per ton here is between 100 and 150
pounds, making from 3,000 to 4,000
pounds of sugar per acre. Quite
number of cattle are usually kept in
long sheds and inclosures at a distance
from the factory and fed pirtially on
the refuse pulp of tbo sugar beets.
They seem to-enjoy this diet, and to
thrive on it. In 1885 there were about
100 head of slock kept in the cattle
pens. The beets are stored under cover
in sheds ready to be manufactured into
sugar. They arc sometimes piled up
•fix or seven feet high. The beets ar
thrown from the sheds into a sort of
mal, and arc carried by the water to
A?»e place where they are washed.
A fter being conveyed to the sllcer they
ire cut into small pieces by a sc$ of
revolving knives, and then the regular
process ol’ manufacture begins. The
molasses left by the process is not fit
for table-use, and has been generally
made into vinegar. The cost of manu
facture has averaged from 5 tp 7 cents
per pound, and the factory has a capa
city of, over eighty tons per day. It
was originally intended to use only j
thirty tons daily,, but the demand was ‘
bo great that the capacity of tlie factory
was increased.

ThunctoroStonu* Increasing.
From certain meteorological statis
tics recently published in Germany we
learn that thunder-storms in that
country have during the last thirty
years been steadily increasing hoth in
fietiuency aui severity The number
of'deaths per annum from, lightning’
has incroast’dinafar greater ratio than
uat of tho increase oV filiation. Iu
iu present stato of oiu’.knowledge of
o whole subject of atinosphdric ,elce-
■city, tho cause of the phenomena of
tunder-storms is confessedly obscure,
is, however, very possible that some
;ht would bo thrown upon the quns-
ou by a comparative study of the
trequency and severity of storms dur
ing a .lengthened period and over a
wide geographical ar/*a. Tho Gorman
3avahts incline to the opinion that tho
ncrease is to bo attributi'd to the enor-
nously increased prod r: ion of smoke
mil steam which hits ; ikon place dur
ing the last three > iw>idi*a. Butalthongh
we may admit this to be to some extent
a probable vera cauw; yet when we
consider the very local character of
thunder-storms, we, should naturally
expect to find that it would follow tin, ,
the neighborhood of large cities, and
especially of manufacturing districts,
would RiifTcr the most severe)y.' 'Wit 1
the statistics reforred to show dis
tinctly that the rovers^ is the case.
Tho number of storms attended by
fatal results from lightning is far larger
In the agricultural districts than in the
towns. Upon tlio other hand, we ought
to take into consideration the protec
tive action of lightning conductors,
with which tho prominent buildings in
the towns of German? are well pro
vided.

On the bank* of tho Murray, N. 8.
W., which separates Victoria from New
South Wales, a Presbyterian minister
had his charge, his church and iusi-
dence being on the Victoria side, anil a
portion of his congregation residing on
that of New South Wales. .In the course
of events a young lady of his peopi-
waa to be married; but with the fancies
that young ladies so often indulge iu
she would be married in her father’-
home, which was on th© New South
Wale* shore, and by her pastor, who.
as it'appeared at the last moment, was
registered only to tie a nuptial knot in
Victoria. Here was a pretty fix; the
hour had come—and the man. Moved
by tears of the lovely suppliant, the
minister was equal to the occasion.
It appears that the whote of the waters
of the Murray pertain to Victoria, so,
obtaining a boat, and putting therein
all hi* paraphernalia and bonk* and
other instruments requisite for the per
formance of the ceremony, he put ofT
from the shore. Tho young lady and
•ter friends came to the foot of her
father’* ground*, and th« party stand
lug on the shore in battle array, the
marriage service was duly performed
by the minister in the boat. The mar
riage was enrolled in the resorda at
Melbourne; but the question arises, or
may arise, or in the event of certain
contingencies very eerlainly will arise,
is the marriage legal ?

Animals get rid of their parasites by
using dust, mild, clay, etc. rijose snf-
feVing from fever restrict thpir dipt,
keep quiet, seek dark, airy places, drink
water and sometimes , plunge iuto . it.
When a dog ha* lost his appetito it eats
that species of grass known »a dog
grass, which acts as an emetic and a i
purgative. Cats all eat grass. Sheep
and cows when ill. seek out certain
herbs. An animal suffering from
chronic rheumatism always keeps, as
far as possible, in the sun. Tho warrior'
ants have regularly organized ambu
lances. Latruiile cut the dntennm of

ered the wounded part with a trans
parent fluid secreted from their mouths,
if a chimpanzee is wounded, it stops
the bleeding by placing its hand Qn the
wound or dresdng it with leaves and
grass. When tlio animal has a wounded
leg or arm hanging on it, completes the
amputation by means of its teeth. A
dog, on being stung m 1 the muzzle by a
viper, wa» observed to plunge its head
repeatedly for several days into run
ning water. This auimal eventually
recovered. A sporting dog was run
over by a carriago. During three weeks
in winter it remained lyiug in a brook,
where its food was taken to it. This
animal recovered. A terrier hurt its
right eye. It remained under a Gountor.
avoiding light and heat, although i>
habitually kept closo to the firo. It
adopted a general treatment; rest and
abstinence from food. The local treat*
ment consisted in licking tho upper
surface of tlio paw, witich it applied to
the wounded eye, again licking the paw
when it became dry. Animals suffering
from traumatic fever treat themselves
by the continued application of cold
water, which M. Delaunay considers to
befhio]& cor tain than any of the other,
methods. In view of these interes; 1
facts wo are, he thinks, forced to adpu
tint hygiene aud therapeutics, as p
iii-ed by animals, may, in the iu. . ?t

An Ingenious Swindle. .
A (Swindle recently detected is con
ducted as follows: ’ A check, say for ton
dollars, ts obtairted from a depositor at’
a, bank, and a blank, check e^uctiy like
the fllle^-in check is secured. TuOitwO’
chucks are laid one upon tlio other, so
that the edges arc exactly even. Both
checks are then torn irregularly across,
aud in such a way that tho signature
on the filled check appears oh one piece
and tho amount and name of Ue payee
on the other. Tito checks a ug been
held together while bei lorn, oi
course one piece of tho ik check
will exactly lit tho other :e of the
idled check. Tho swindler then fills in
otm piece of the blank chock jvith the
mtine Of the payco and tlve amount to
suit himself, say five thousand dollars,
takes it with tho pieco of genuine check
containing tho signature of the. bank, 1
and explains that the check was acci
dentally torn. The teller can put the
pieces together, and ai they lit-exactly,
the chances are that he -will think the
pieces are par s of the same check, and
beep.me a victim of the swindle. -The
trick, of course, suggests its own
remedy. Tho teller should refuse to
pay any check chat is mutilated.
