S; ' ' r, i 4. ! i 1 ft Draining the Zujder Zoo Some little time ago, we pave an ac count f the drainage of Haarlem Lake, in lite NctlicrlAnd.iheiuost gigantic, work pfthe kind ever accomplished. Immense '- as wire its proportion, however, the en terprise is to le surpassed in magnitude by the coumrcous, industrious nation, who are resolved, not only to retrain the further intrusion of the sea upon their do minion., tint to reclaim the lands that have lieen hitherto wrested from them. After many years of careful test of the project, it has ben decided to drain the Zuyder Zee, a eulf measuring in its whole extent about sixty miles in length and 210 miles in circumference. The area covered by this body of water was once dry, though low, and inclos'.-d the inner L ike Flevoe, which communicated with the sea by a river. In tne latter part of the thiiteeuth century, according to some authorities, the ocean broke thmugh its sandy barriers, anil, pouring over the low lands, united with Lake Jr'levoe and formed the Zuyder See. , , In a sketch of the contemplated work, it is f tiled in Nature that " The drainaze will be ellccted in that part of" the gulf ly ing Ix-tween the Provinces of Guelder laud, Utrecht and North Holland, over an extent of 1J)..;U0 hectares (a!. out 740 square miles, by means of a principal dike or embankment, of forty kilometers in length, fifty meters broad at the base, and raised five meters above the ordinary tides, to be constructed from- the left bank of the mouth of the Yssel to the Island of Urk, and from hence to the town of Krkhuy zen, in the Province of North Holland. The inclosed area will lie divided i:ito squares, and numerous pumping steam engines will then lie set to work, haiug a collective force of 9,400 hre power. '1 he Commission estimates that the work will be entirely accomplished in sixteen years, and that it will cost a sum of 10.000,00;), not including the interest of the capital employed; or 1,300,000 for preparatory works, provisional circular canals, etc. ; about JCJ.TGO.OOO for the construction oi the dike; and the rest for the purchase of engines, Ukj drainage proper, and the con struction of reservoirs, internal canals, roads, railway lines, and works, prepara tory to bringing the new lands under cul ture. The interest on the aliove sum will raise it to i:J,400.000; but one-fourth of this will be cranted as a sulisidy by Gov ernment, which will be amply com'Kii sated by the comparatively enormous ad dit:oa to its fern-til territory." Since ISO.") the scheme for 'draining the Zuyder Zee has been under consideration. The Dutch Credit Foncier Association employed two engineers one of whom drained Haarlem Lake to determine the feaiibility of draining the southern and most shallow-and fertile portion of gulf. Soundings wre nude, which showed tlt a rich and deep deposit ot - Alluvial clay or loam overlaiu four-fifths of the bottom of the sea. This encouraging fact beiiif asccrta ned, the Government appointed a Commission to consider the whole question from an economic and scientific point of ..vicjyJoccu'extended tUittrrjryr-ari, concluded with a report favoring the execution of Ihe work. Hov er A more years were now occupied with the construction of a plan that should most succe-stully carry out the enterprise. In April, 1873, the C'ommi-si n brought in a second report, giving a statement of the difficulties to tic overcome, of the means demanded for subduing them, and of the expense that must be involved. Of the 473,000 acres to be drained, one fifth only consists of land of secondary quality. The sands comprising a portion of this M ill afford essential material for the construction of the base of the dike, and in other necessary works connected with the machinery of drainage. Allow ing for the land that must be devoted to canals, dikes, roads, etc., 400,000 acres of arable land of the first quality will remain, the sale of which will probably exceed the COst of reclaiming them. Chicago Tribune d 1 . l thr ' bee j it vij co ( bro thoJ mot The Tolcano of Manna Loa. tic C i A traveler who made a recent visit to e volcano known as the Manna Ioa, in ic Sandwich Islands, gives the following ccount of that wonder of the world : J " Manna Loa is about 14,000 feet in pcr-M-ndicular height. It presents the ap pearance of an immense smooth dome, and scientific men suppose it to lie nearly a hollow cone, disemboweled by volcanic lires and subterranean gases, and liable to cave in at any moment bv the action of an enrthquvike. It possuse- many craters at different dimensions, and new ones ate continually opening. Its terminal crater. ; altout two and a half miles in length and one in width, has always been more or less active, but the lava was never known to overtlow till the fearful eruptions of the summer of 172. Twenty years previous there was a great eruption from a crater on the side of Mauna Loa about 10,0 JO -feetibove tea level. A column of lava was spouted 500 feet in the air, and foimcd a molten river a mile w ide, which, in its devastating course, filled several ra vines from 200 to :J0 ) feet in depth. From another of the side-craters a terrible dis charge occurred in l&Vi, de-trojing with lava-streams an area of "0J square miles. The most .violent eruption known look place in January. ls.i!, and continu d for ten month-', destroying a village ami cre ating a lava-stream forty miles long and eix miles wide. ' l he most remarkable of the craters of Mauna Loa is Kilanea. situated on a plain 3,970 feet above the sea level. Jt is tne largest active crater in the world, .licing nine miles in circumference and 1,400 feet deep. The inside is rim;i.ed with cooled lava, called the Ulack Lodse, 300 to 2,000 f"Ct wide and 1,(KK) feet deep. The center was formerly a surging sea of fire, with fountains of crimson lava, hung with a cloud which was silver by day and red by night. During the day the bot tom looks like a heap of smoldering ruins; but at night it snows two immense pools of cherry-red liquid in a state of ebullition, which illuminates the whole vast expanse, and flows in all directions like water; and there are numerous coni cal craters continually throwing outstones, ashes, lava, smoke and flair e. "In the crater, after walking about for some time almost blinded and suffocated with sulphurous steam, we came to a min iature crater in operation. In a hole two feet in diameter the red-hot lava was seen boiling and bubbling like water in a kettle over a quick fire. Every now and then the lava would be thrown two or three feet in the air. Then it would simmer down and seem to wait for new vigor again to spout forth in a beautiful yeliow ocher stream. We spproahed within four feet of this lava fount lin much to the astonishment as well as anx iety of the guides, and doubtless to our own risk ; but when one is fairly down a crater curiosity casts out fear. That niirht we witnessed a terrific eruption from this very vent-hole, and it was by no means re-assuring to see lava spouted thirty feet high and the flames blown in every direc tion over the spots we had occupied in the i il I t :'-: I ft. o. . m we J'F. 7 flnj " is ictr mid ' A watchmaker on Clark street has in rented a patent compenso-retarding-ac-celerating clock for use in families where they keep unmarried' daughters in stock.

" Good gracious, mar!" said Angelica Crane to her overworked parent, at night fall of a memorable day a day that marked the beginning of the young 'Squire's Christmas holidays at home, and every minute of it crammed and crowded with lalior for the entertainment in his honor at the Crane homestead " good gracious! you ain't going to have home made cream, surely?" '1 he young lady's nose, which was exceedingly retrouase al ready, was pcrclacd high m the air with .disdain. "If there's anything I can't abide," she 6aid, " it's frozen corn, starch ; and that's all you can mate of home-made crc-im, any way you fx it!" "Hold your tongue, Angy," said her mother; "you're the most onfeelin ciee tur I ever see. You'd hev me harness up the team and drive away to town and pay out a mint of money, when I kin jest as well have it for nothin'. Hain't we got a prime new freezer, and cream and eggs and ice, without its costin' a cent What more do you want?" "A prime new freezer!" scorntully echoed Angy. " You'll want half a dozen of "em!" "Well, can't I borry 'em?" said her prudent parent. "And w ho's troinc to banc over 'em?" said the young lady, whose stay at. board ing-school had not obliterated the nome dialect. " They need to lie turned and turned, and everybody's worn out. It's nearly time to dress now, and you want a little coo) in' off yourself. You're as red as a beet." " I'll stay if I can. be of any service," said a voice in the doorway. " Why, Sally," sai l Mrs. Crane, "you'll want to run home and dress, won't 3 011?" "Oh, I'd rather not," said the voice, this time trembling a little. " I don't feel fit for any fun, Mrs. Crane. It don't seem to me I ever will again." " I 8'pose not, deary," said the farm er's wife, with an expnssion of pity mingled with relief. " It'll be dreadful convenient to hev you stay, Sally, if you Kin. There's a power to do vet, and only one pair o' hands to do it. I s'pose you wouldn't keer to go up in the parlor; but the freezers'll be in the cellar, and the heater keeps it nice and warm dow n there ; and while you're a-makin' the cream, you kin listen to the music, and hear the noise and all. It'll come kind o' nice to you that way, won't ii, Sally?" "Gooid life, mar!" laughed the viva cious daughter; "is that what you call nice? It reminds me of the little hungry boy that went to smell the ite&m til the pastry-cook's!" " You don't know nothin' about the way Sallv leels." said .Mrs. Crane, "nor I don't think you could if you tried. I believe you'd dance and whis'le about be fore the gras3 took root over your pappy's grave ; but Sally loved hern, poor child, and she can't help tlnnkin' ot tlie poor school-master lyin' out there jn the snow, when here he was, only a bit ago, as chick wff.e lain u ii ue next." Whether the good woman had any rea- . t. . i ,,. sou oi ner own lor inus uwening upon a melancholy subject, it decided poor little Sally's aversion for the merry-making, and put to flight the gay Angelica, who was in no humor for red eyes and noses, when the young squire would shortly come, and it behooved these features to be at their best. Dut Sally fell to sobbing outright, not giving a thought to the deleterious effect of tears upon her beauty, although once upon a time it was bright and bonny enough to ensnare the young squire him self. Long ago, when he drew her to school on his handsome sled, he made many a stumble over the ice in looking ba k upon the sweet face under its scarlet hood, the little checks all aglow, and the yellow curls wantoning about with the brisk wintry air. Se.lly's was always the biggest apple from the finest tree in the orchard ; the most luscious grapes from the grapery found their way to Sully's desk; and in the intervals of "his possessing a penknife young Master fiandall left no blunt pencil iti Sally's sachel. When it became necessary that he should le sent to a place of instruction befitting his station in life,, and the fiat had gone forth that the dear old days at the village school should beconi' part and parcel of the past; when he must bid good by to his romp in the new-mown haj-, his races with the young coits in the ten acre field, his berrying and picnicking, his coasting down the glorious old hill; w hen lie must part with his dog Lancer and his gun and his pony atove all, with Sally it was a heart-rending time. Whatever grown-up folks may think of these childish griefs, they are as tough to bear ns the heavier ones that come later, and they leave great ugly scars that are sometimes only half healed over. When Will Kandall cut Sally's name and his ow n deep into the bark of the old wainm-iree at ?!ie loot ot in? i:.m it seemed to him that the knife went into his heart with every turn of the letters in her precious name. Tears rolled out of his eyes in spite of his manly endeavor to choke them down ; as for Sally, she had given way long ago, and, with her sun- I onnet tight down over her face, was wa tering the gray old moss at the foot of the tree with Hoods of childish woe. At last it was done: there were the initials linked together deep in the rugged bark; the crimson light from the western skv shone full upon each and all. Will net his knife back in his pocket with a click of determination, gulped back his tears at once and lor the last time, and taking Sally from the ground, he smoothed back her vellow locks, coaxing her into quiet with the solemn promise of his loyalty henceforth and forever to the love between them. He declared that the names linked there upon the tree should never be separated w hile life remained to him, and with many avow of fealty coined froru the books he had devoured among the lumber in the garret, and simple plaints of love brought up from the depths of his little swelling heart, Will bade little Sally good-by. Dut alas for the inexorable decrees of fate and fashion! Seven long years had passed and gone since that last trysting time, and although the two names were still linked together upon the old walnut tree, the two little lovers had drifted far apart. Young Master Randall went from one place of instruction to another till ha reached the tt'immum bo num. of a veritable college. Taking advantage of the ab sence of their son and heir, the big folks at the hall went abroad; the house was closed, and although many an apple and bunch of crapes' from the old place reached Sally, with the rest of the vil lagers, she never cared to taste these lux uries from stranger hands. Will spent his holidays away, and Sally would not even have heard the sound of his name had it not been for the sojourn of Angelica Crane at a boarding-school near the col lege. Perhaps Sally would rather not have heard his name than thus from the lips of Angelica, whose bump of reverence was small, and who held the young squire pretty much as she held every hody important in the ratio that they contributed to hr own pleasure. The acres of Farmer Crane were broad ana wiue, anu outnumbered ny many a score those that belonged to the llandall family; it was whispered that even the goodliest property of the old squire was heavily mortgaged to the shrewd and fore handed countryman, and that a match be tween Miss Angelica and the j'oung squire would not be a bad thing for the latter. On the other hand, these plain folks at the Crane homestead had spared no pains to show their willingness to fur ther whatever plans were made for the joining of these two goodly esiates. Angelica herself had confided to Sally that she had more strings to her bow than one, but that she k new which she preferred, and had often tortured the poor little maiden, when during Angelica's holidays they had spent a night or two together, by reading her. among other love-let'.ers, some productions from the eloquent and ardent pen of Will Uandall, poor little Sally's perfidious lover. Long after An gelica's curl-papers had ceased to rattle upon the pillow, the soft silken rings of Sally'o yellow hair were wet with tears of envy and girlish despair. But as years went by, and old Time softened the bitterness of those holiday stabs by dealing others of a more vivid and sta'rtling character, when cares and griefs close at hand crowded abjut her and hemmed her inr she became resigned to this one among the rest, and even talked with Angelica of her loves and lovers with a coolness that astonished her self. There became a less and lss griev ous similarity in the description of the young squire to that shy, sweet memory of Sally's of long ago. He had now, it appeared, an incipient mustache, his hands were white, he was more and more "perfectly splendid" with every fresh confidence; and this brilliant figure left the old, simple, tender likeness all to it self in Sally's young heart, and it became dead and buried like all the glad things of life, along w ith her father, the school masler, and the pale young mother she could just remember; and as she turned the ice-cream freezers that night in the cellar of Farmer Crane, not one thought of jealous spite or envy of the fair Angel ica came into her little head. She did listen to the music, and heard the noise above, and it was "a sort of nice." as Mrs. Crane had said; and as she turned and turned one freezer after arother, Sally became interested enough in her work to lorget more important trials close at hand. It made the soul of the farmer's wife glad within her, when she went down to taste the cream, to find it beginning to be all that her fancy painted. "It's prime," site said, 'smacking ner lips and holding the spoon to Sally's nreltv mouth. "Jest taste it, and leu me if that ain't fur ahead of Towzer's stuff in town. II stands to reason, Sally ; there's real cream in that ar none o' yer nasty skimmin's! Now keep right on, dear; be jest as keeitul as you kin. 'cause now's the resky time when the hull thing kin be sn'iled bv a mite o keerlessness. Jest turn and'turn. dear, first one, then t'other, this a-way, and that a-w ay. Ihe idee ot that pesky da'tero' mine tellin' me only a minit ago she knowed it 'd be lumpy and soft! And, Sally, she's the most uu feelin' " " It's only her fun," said Sally. " Fun!" echoed the vexed matron. " Wa'al, it's a mean kind o fun, and it 'd sarve her right if she came out the lit tle end o the horn yet. But we'll take keer o' the cream, won't we, Sally ?" "That we will, ma'am," said Sally, warmly. "Jest turn and turn, you know," said the poor woman, and went up the cellar steps, not knowing that Destiny had some work of her own to do that night, and had ruthlessly chosen the farmer's wife for the agent of her own discomfiture. At the top of the steps she met the j-oung 'Squire. He said that, like the young woman in the ballad, he was weary of dancing, and proposed to have the old game of Copenhagen and could she tell him where be could cet a roper "Whv. ves."said Mrs. Crane, "there's one riirtit down here in thecellar. I'll git it. Will that's right; lev all the fun you kin: vou can't be vounff but once;" and down she went into the cellar acrain. Now if she had only contented herself getting the rope and nanuing ii to the 3'ounir 'Squire, who stood waiting at the top ot the steps, all would have been well. He had scarcely left Angelica's side tne whole evening; he had whis pered lots of pretty things in her ears; he determined to tap no hand but hers in the ring. If Mrs. Crane had only handed him the rope without a word! but she couldn't help it, poor woman; it was the fault of Destiny, as I said before. Some thing compelled her to stand right at the toot ot the stairs and whisper: " Keep right on, Sally, dear turn and turn, like a good little lass." And she might better have spoken aloud. Her whisper was of that stento- rian description that it cut the air ; it fell aivrwirfc iinnn th Anr if iYtf l-nun rr n 1 anil presently he heard a sweet, low voice in reply: " Yea, ma'am, I'll attend to it nicely." He went Pack with the rope, in a daze. What was to be turned and turned, and who w as the turner ? What Sally was it that owned that sweet, low voice? and what sweet, low voice owned that dear name of Sally? Will Kandall had been famous at school and college for solving problems; he never would, in fact, leave one unsolved ; and presently he slipped away from the rope, out of the room, and made his way direct to the cellar door. He opened it soltlv, closed it carelully be hind him, and went slowly down the steps. The bull's-eye of the furnace glared at him as if the geniusof fire within was bent upon some spree of his own one of these days; he hcaid a squeak, squeak, squeak, a lit tle distance oil", and followed the myste rious noise, confident it had something to do with that problem he was bent upon solving, lie walked on tip-toe, passing many a coal-bin heaped to the top with coal ; his locks brushed many a ham and tongue and juicy bit of bacon ; he saw many a long shelf filled w ith Christ mas cheer; it was fit to soften the heart of this young scion of a noble but im poverished house. The squeaking noise became u:ore and more distinct. He turned the corner of a liquor closet, and suddenly he stood still, because he could not. goon; his feet stopped; his pulse al most ceased to beat; he saw something that sent the blood flying to his heart that perfidiously false yet faithful heart. He saw the slim little figure of a woman perched upon an old broken hen-coop, her black dress tucked up out of the water that escaped lrom half a dozen freezers around her; her little right hand turning one freezer, her little left hand turning another; her soft silky yellow hair all Hurled about her pretty" head that yellow hair that would match exact ly with the exquisite color of the one holding the place of honor among all his locks of hair; her sweet lips parted with anxiety for the fate of the cream, as they had parted long ago with a far deeper and warmer anxiety those swtet, sweet lips! Ccmlditbe? Oh, was it his own little Sally his one, only Sally, the pure idol of his boyish love? Oh, what divine, rapturous problem wa3 this given him to solve? Thatpumpingapparatus about his heart began to work again with a will. He crept around the liquor closet, between the freezers, and, putting one hand upon Sally's lips, with the other drew her close upon his heart. " Hush, darling," he whispered; " it is I Will your own faithful Will. Oh Sally! Sally!" Her little falling head he caught in time, and kissed her fainting lips to life. He said more in a minute to Sally than he had whispered all the night above. He decided her fate and his own in the tw ink ling of an eye, and unblushingly believed he was but fulfilling all the vows of long ago under the walnut tree. As for Sally shy, blushing, trembling Sally she was in a rapture of bewilderment, of joy and bliss, that is seldom reached by mor- i tals, until sudden y the cellar-door opened ; then, indeed, the crimson in Sally's cheeks paled, the stentorian whisper of Jlrs. Crane was heard upon the steps : " It must be jest right now. It's bin turnin', you know, long enough now; it kin set by, and Sally might jest as well as not hev a little fun. I lay anything it's the primest stuff you ever see." " The cream is spoiled," whispered Sally, her bisr, loving, tearful, happy eyes fixed upon Will's. " Not a bit of it," said her champion. And although that cream was certainly lumpy and a little soft, Will declared it the best he ever tasted, or would taste for the remainder of his life; and as the cream was made for him, w hy, what did it matter? Angelica, having plenty of strings to her bow, didn't mourn over it grievously; but poor Mrs. Crane from that time for ward bought her cream at Towzer's. JIarper'a Weekly.

The soil will be rendered loose, soft and permeable by the roots of the corn. The moist condition is favorable to the solution and to the action of the elements of the soil and air, to their combinations as adapted to the use of the corn. The cool and moist condition of the soil and the superimposed stratum of air will attract nitrogen into the soil, and this will unite w ith hydrogen and form ammonia for the growth of the corn. Carbonic acid gas and other elements of the air and soil w ill likew ise liecome attracted, undergo analo gous changes and produce like sustenance. The pumpkins, being principally nitrog enous in vine and foliage, and but mod erately ligneous, or of carlion, they attract but a small quantity of carbonic acid gas from the atmosphere. We conclude by briefly, but earnestly, advising every farmer to plow deep and plow under a good coat of manure, to feed the extended roots when they are gather ing substance to form the ears of corn. Before planting place manure under the hills to start the corn vigorously. Do not plow between the rows after the corn is two or three feet high, as it will destroy the extending roots. A harrow of bushes drawn over the surface by one horse, and merely chafing the surface and keeping dow n the weeds until the vines shall cover the surface, is sufficient. Plant a great abundance of pumpkins; they will take but little of moisture or nutrition from the soil. If they are somewhat less beneficial, primarily or secondarily, than mulching, yet they cost much less in both expense and labor, while they yield a profit of themselves, and all the advantages of mulching are proximately attained. Therefore, cover the ground well with pumpkins, that magnificent plant, the harmless vegetable and doubly useful crop, and glorious old companion of our selves and cur appreciative, shrewd and venerable fathers. Corn will grow better with pumpkins than without them. Iarael Jnrris, in JVr. Y. Herald.

Tbk standard remedies for all diseases of the prevent? its waste iLiransit lrom granary to pit, and in the Hfcdl, w hen the horse pulls a mouthful ftm the manger; but princi pally to mit with the grain, so as to com pel the horii- to thoroughly mas'icate the whole ot "his provender. With loner hay freqvfntly portions fall under foot, are trampled on and spoilt; some horses, fr-Jra "mischief, wilfully throw their hay ctj the floor, and these little bits form colli 6tively, in a large establish ment, a considerable item. By cutting the hay thii waste is prevented, as the an imal can oily remove a mouthful at a time. Tht length of cut is almost imma terial, beinjr equally effective if cut to two inches, as cut to a half. Almost cf more importance than the form in wbjch the food is 'given, is the frequency and regularity of meals. The horse's digestive organs are notconstruct- ed for long fasts. Long intervals without tood produce hunger, and hunger begets voracity; fod is bolted, and indigestion and colic fallow. This is doubly true and doubly dangerous with horses doing hard work. Ihevcome to their Jon e-deterrod meal not oily hungry, but exhausted ; not only is the fcod bolted, but the stomach is in such' a state as to be incapable of thoroughly, active digestion, and is over powered hi half the amount of food it could otherwise easily digest. The pre vention of waste is almost attained when we give a proper form ; but there are two points to which it is right to devote some attention Ihe form of the mangers, and attention tq the wants of the individual animals. The mangers should not be les3 than three feet long, eighteen inches wide, and twefv5! inches deep. They should have an upper border of wood projecting inward for two inches, and a transverse bar of half-inch round iron across the middle. A piece of two-inch-wide hoop iron, screved on to the top of the man ger, protects it from damage by the horse's teHh. This simple arrangement prevents the horse from throwing out his corn, and Khe provender is not in so thick a layer as in theordmary narrow and shal low mangtr. Michigan Farmer. Raisin; Corn and Pumpkins Conjointly. At the last meeting of the Farmers' Club the question was: Will a crop of corn yield;as well with pumpkins grow ing upon the same ground as without them? iiqr the purpose of producing a degree of Intensity in the discussion, and of eliciting facts in favor of the conjoint planting pumpkins with corn ana ot understanding whether it is right or wrong, 1 for the time being started objec tions and J argued agaimt the conjoint planting. I learned to understand that something- more than a few partial ob servations and an unbalanced opinion is necessary jp justify a conclusion and lay. the foundauMlU im a Meumuu courc oi action upon any important subject. We want no hait-finished job. "We need facts that cannot be subverted and cannot be counterbalanced by adverse and counter acting facts. 1 myself have observed much upon the subject; being an enthusiastic lover of nature, and having labored twenty sum mers in cornfields well filled with pump kins. To the best of my belief I have al ways seen, as I then saw, the corn at least equally good where the vines grew. The ground was shaded, kept moist and mel low, and the strength of the manure was not carried off by the heat and winds. I have in a number of instances seen vines with the roots plowed nearly out of the ground only one or two rootlets remainin g established and so lert for many days, ana yet the vines continuing green, fresh and vigorous. The real nature of such facts I never fully understood until long after, and nearly thirty years ago, the venerable horticulturist, the elder Mr.-Hogg, escort ed me among his most interesting groups of orchids, or air-plants. Seeing these plants fljts.1 upon dry sticks of wood high Schenck's Sea Weea Tonic is a eentle stimulant and altucHtiye; the alkali, of which it is composed, mixes with the food and prevents souring.
