Already a large house, recent additions
have quadrupled it. On the south front a
conservatory, fernery, and orchid house
have been erected ltfore threeof the draw
ing room windows. On the west front is
a billiard room, with a bow window, and
additionally lighted by the open timbered
roof. This apartment is approached by a
corridor 40 feet by 11). On the east front
is a one-storied wing of kitchens, built
with open limbered roofs and furnished
with hydraulic ranges, and adjoining these
are a dairy, dairy m-ullrry, game larder,
plucking room, and bakery. A corridor
leads thence to more offices, over which
twenty additional ledrooni9 have leen
built, and iK'voud this again are laundries
replete with every lalxjr-t-aviug conveni
ence. The pn-niis are entirely gaslit,
and elalorate precautions are taken against
sewage gas. The stables are splendid, and
have stalls for twenty horses. For eigh
teen months one hundred men have Itccn
employed daily on the works. All tliis
palatial splendor is for an untitled gentle
man of the not uncommon name of
Browne.
A fortune of $12,000,000 may turn upon
a bit of yellow archuient found in a rub
bih heap. A Nova Scotia journal says
that the agent employed by the heirs of
the Hyde estate to go to England has
written encouraging reports. He has met
the directors of the Bank of England,
where the money is deposited. 1 lyde was
formerly in Annaiiolis, having been sent
out by the Imperial Government. He had
one daughter Imrn iu Nova Scotia. The
money in question was left to her after lie
died. An intimation was sent to this
country many years ago, asking for the
heirs. " The family of the Hydes in United
States took the matter up and decided
that the real heirs were in Nova Scotia.
The missing link up to a recent period
was proof that the original Hyde was the
one who held the imperial commission
and went to Annapolis. There was no
commission cf his to be. found. A few
years ago an old trunk was sold at auction
and bought by a woman for twenty-five
cents. She subsequently broke it up for
kindling wood, and in the lining found a
parchment document, which she deemed
so pretty with the seals attached that she
put it away as worthy of preservation.
Subsequently she happened to mention
the incident to a friend. It proved to be
the missing document.
In planting trees cut mutilated roofj
smooth and remove dense masses of fibres;
at the same time shorten back the brandi
es and remove all superfluous ones. Pre
fer low-headed trees to tall stems. Do
not put any manure in contact with the
roots, but place them in mellow, freshly
plowed soil. Spread the roots well, work
in the soil thoroughly, and tread it down
firmly, and the trees will need no staking.
Trees that are received from the nurseries
shrivelled, should be buried root and
branch for a week or so. Drainage is all
inqvortaut where the land is at all reten
tive of moisture, though it can leaceoiu
ilished after the trees are set. The whole
and should be prepared by plow and
suli-soiler. The distance to plant will dc
jend ujKin the habit of the variety, rang
ing from twenty to forty feet. Dave the
ground all ready, and marked with
stakes, and set the trees as soon as they can
be had.
The large hall you enter on arriving at
Sandringhara, the Prince of Wales's place
is fitted up as a diuing-room, with a pian
oforte, easy chairs, an 1 two large writing
tables, at one of which the Irince usually
writes his letters on his return from shoot
ing. Behind the piano is a quantity of
toys for the children to amuse themselves
with at "the children's hour," alter tea.
Here, at 5 o'clock, the tea table is placed
in the centre of the hall, and is pies.ded
over by the Princess in the loveliest of tea
gowns. It is a pretty sight to sec her
surrounded by her three little girls, who
look like tiny fairies, and who run alout
to put papa's letters in the large pillar
Iost box at one end of the hall. There
are generally four or five large dogs to
add to th circle. In this same hall the
balls take place. The floor is excellent,
and the music is in a gallery up stairs.
The Corrugated Metal Company of
East Berlin on a recent pay-day plac ed a
$3 gold piece in the envelope of each em
ploye. One of the persons thus paid
thought to surprise his wife, and dropped
the coin within a dxrwny through which
he knew she would shortly pass. But the
family cat preceded her mistress through
the entrance, and caught up the bright
coin w ithin her teeth. In tossing it alout
playfully and biting it, pussy accidently
swallowed the treasure. Various sugges
tions have been made to the owner of the
cat for the recovery of the money, but
none seem practicable. The village butch
er offers $ 2.0) for her. Her owner says
she is not for sale.
The discover of platinum mirrors, Mr.
Dode, has discovered a process for cover
ing iron with platinum. The iron is first
coated with a prejeration of lead and cop
per. It is th-n ready for the platinum
composition, which is thus made: Ten
parts of platinum are converted into chlo
ride, mixed, with five parts of ether, and
permitted to evajKrate in the open air.
The residue is ineorjiorated in 20 parts of
borate of lead, 11 parts red lead, some oil
of lavandcr, and 50 parts of amyle alco
hol. Into this mixture the article to be
coated is dipped, then allowed to dry in
the air, and finally heated to a moderate
temperature.
The Salt Lake Tribune speaking of the
Ontario silver mine in Utah, said to lie the
richet in America, having turned out
more bullion during the past two years
than any mine iu California, Nevada or
Arizona: "Perhaps in no country in the
world can Ik- found such another mine, so
regular and so rich. The lowest assay
from the 500-foot level is $130; and the
ore breast (which averages three feet) goes
from that figure to $300 jkt ton. For four
months the average battery sample was
$110 jkt ton. It is estimated that the ore
in sight at present will run the mill two
j-cars. There is at the mill now 3,000
tons."
Experiments made in Germany show
that out of 2,-jOO school Imivs, C7 were un
able to distinguish between colors; Imt
that out of girls, only one was "eol-
or-b!ind.' A curious explanation a of
fered for the fact tliat the proportion of
color blindness wax gree-tor among .Jewish
than Christian ehildr.-n. The sense of
sight, it was said, was less developed among
the ancients than it w to-tlay, and since
the Jews have preserved a greater purity
of race and blood than any other people,
an inferiority of isioii might reasonably
be expected. It is not, however, true, that
such inferiority, on an average, exists.
Look out lor the low wet places in
your grain-fields when the thaw begins,
and se if a few ypadesful of earth would

percentage of profit enough to satisfy the
ino-st miserly, to say nothing of the laziest.
The latter are the greatest usurers.
New Zealand has a mile of rail mar! for

Popular Errors.
To think that the more a man cats the
: fatter and stronger he w ill Kvome. To
believe that the more hours children tmly
the faster they will learn. To conclude,
if exercise is "good, the more violent it is
tlic more good is done. To imagine that
' every hour taken from sleep is an hour
i gained. To acton the presumption thattho
smallest room in the house is large enough
to sleep in. To argue that wnaieer
remedy causes one to feel immediately
better, is good for the system, without re
gard to more ulterior e fleets. To eat
without an appetite or to continue to eat
after it has leeu satisfied merely to gratify
the taste. To eat a hearty upicr for the
pleasure exjcricnccd during the brief time
it is passing down the thioat, at the ex
pense of a whole night of disturbed sleep
and & weary waking in the morning.
Thoroughbred vs. Common Sheep.
A farmer who is supjtoscd to own as
good common sheep as anybody, says the
Live Stock Journal, sheared his flock, find
after weighing iu the lleece,found that each
sheep averaged two and a half pounds.
Say that wool is worth 20 cents per iund,
the profits from each sheen will be 50 cts.
Take now an estimate ot fleeces of the
thoroughbred Merino and Cotswold, which
will not average less than eight jiounds
per head the net profits on each sheep,
$1.00 of $1.10 in favor of the thorough
bred will-command a higher marketable
value. Now it costs the same to raise the
thoroughbred as the common sheep; the
mutton of ononis as good as the other;
the profits of the wool of the thorough
bred is three times greater than from the
common. Every farmer owning a flock
of sheep should make it convenient to
purchase a thoroughbred ram to improve
the quantity and yield of his wool; such
an investment will pay
Malarial Toison.
Dr. Goodall, of Bennington, Yt, in a
paper recently read, says: Some of the
most fatal epidemics of typhoid fever that
ever visited England were traced to milk,
the joison lieing conveyed in it to the
nonsusecting communities by the milk
men. The ash pits of the dairy farms
were situated so near the water supply
that it became contaminated with sewer
age, and two persons having died on one
of these farms of typhoid fever, the sewer
age from the ash pit contained the germs
of the disease, the water thus contaminat
ed was used to wash the pans, and possi
bly to adulterate the milk, thus one of the
most essential and wholesome articles of
diet became the medium for the diffusion
of a most dreaded disease.
Slaughter houses, unless the greatest
precautions are observed, are prolific in
the production of animal miasm of a
very virulent character. An illustration
of the effects of animal miasm was recent
ly seen in a neighboring State. A large
tomb containing thousauds of dead lodies
was so foul from tlwir decomposition that
ventilators were put in the vaut ; imme
diately the neighlsirhood was flooded
with the most horrid smells, putrid dis
eases of various kinds pervaded the once
healty section for several seasons, until
the cause was discovered and removed,
when immediately the epidemic of dis
ease ceased.
The practice of leaving dead sheep,
lamls, calves, dogs and other animals on
the surface of the earth is very pernicious.
The dangers of stagnant water, and the
so called dry mill onds in hot weather,
are patent to all. Wells without covers
are dangerous, bushels of leaves finding
access thereto, and many small animals aid
in impregnating the water with disease
producing elements.
The fact of the increased prevalence of
diptheria in our own country of late may
very likely le due, in part at least, to the
more artificial mode of treating children,
its more common victims. For it is a
shameful fact, that as a result of modern
fashion few children now, among all class
es, have proper clothing or covering for
their limbs, and a still smaller number
take their , food with strict regularity, al
staining from it Ixtween meals as well as
from candies, raisins, nut3 and other in
jurious and indigestible trash, as they
should.
The disease once produced by any of
the alove causes may spread by contagion,
infection or inoculation. Contagion is
the-.t or process of transmitting a dis
ease from one person to another by direct
or indirect con-infection is that which in
fects or causes the communicated disease.
Inoculation is, to communicate a disease
to a person by inserting infectious matter
in hi skin or flesh.
Domestic.
lving Cake. Three-quarters of a pound
of butter, one and a quarter pounds of su
gar, one nutmeg, six eggs and cup milk;
flour to make an ordinary batter.
Pumpkin Butter. First stew pumpkin,
then take molasses and pumpkin equal
parts, and stew for an hour; season with
cinnamon.
Cup Cake. One cup of white sugar,
one-half cup of butter, two eggs, two cups
of flour, one teasponful cream tartar,
half teaspoonful soda, half cup of milk.
Beat the butter and sugar together and
the eggs separately.
Pumpkin Pies. Cut the pumpkin in
small pieces, stew with one tea cup of wa
ter until soft and dry as possible. Put
through a colander. Take 8 eggs, 2 ta
blesj)oonsful of pumpkin, 1J cups of su
gar, 1 cup of milk; flavor with cinnamon,
allspice and ginger. Put in a pan lined
with pastry and bake.
Apple Jelly. Core, and cut out all bad
spots from the apples, then add a very
little water, and stew as for apple sauce;
when done put into a bag and hang up to
drain; when cool enough squeeze gently;
be careful not to get the pulp through.
To a pint of juice add a jxund of sugar;
boil 20 minutes and it is done.
Dried Celery and Parsley. If you ev?r
use celery, wash the leaves, stalks, roots,
and trimmings, and put them in a cool
oven to dry thoroughly; then grate the
roots and rub the leaves and stalks through
a sieve, and put all into a tighly corked
bottle or tin can with close cover; this
mattes a most delicious seasoning for
soups, stews, and stuffing. When you use
parsley, save every bit of the leaf, stalk or
root, you do not need, and treat them in
the same way as the celery. BememlK-r
in using parsley that the root has even a
stronger flavor than the leaves, and docs
not waste a bit.
A Secret Worth Knowing by House
keepers. A sort of trade-secret among up
holsterers, it is saitl, is this recijte for rid
ding furniture of moths : A set of furni
ture that seemed to be alive with the lar
va, and from which hundreds of these
ests had leeu picked and brushed, was
set into a room by itself. Three gallons
of Itcnzinu was purchased, at 30 cents a
gallon, retail. Using a small watering
lot, with a fine rose-sprinkler, the whole
upholstery was saturated through and
through with the Knizine. Besult: Ev
ery moth, larva, and egg wa? killed. The
benzine dried out in a few hours, and its
entire odor disappeared ia three or four
days. Not the slightest harm hapiened
to the varnish, or wood, or fabric, or hair
btufiing. That was mouths ago, and not
a sign of a moth has since appeared. The
carpets were also well sprinkled all round
the sides of the room, with equally good
effect. For furs, flannels indeed, all
woolen articles containing moths, lx?n
zine is most valualle. Put theiuiu abox,
6prinkle them with lcuzine, ciose the lox
tightly, and in a day or two the pests will
be exterminated, and the benzine will all
evaporate on qxoung. . In uting benzine
grtit care should lie jrkn that no fire is
.near by, as t!k: fctuflrm fluid or y)
form, is very inHammable.
The Good OldViines.
There is a great deal ofnonsvus.- ta.'ked
alxuit the good old tini"s. Every city,
town, or village in lh l.oid has its croak
ers, who s.-e nothing b;it disaster in the
future, hard times in 1 1 iffa resent, and
good times in the past. The Adrian
Times tells of one of lh-se complaining
' iddh iduals who was growling ubout the
present low price of wheat. A well
known Michigan citizen gives a little of
his experience in the good old times of
forty years ago. He lived where Burr
Oak now stands, and wanting to get some
' barrels of salt, he put soma thirty bushels
' of wheat in his wagon, anil started for
i Adrian, eight miles away. As he could
not get cash there lie went on to l'almyra
mills and sold his wheat for fifty cents a
bushel. Going back to Adrian, he paid
$3 for two banels of salt, ami got back to
Burr Oak after being five days gone, be
ing delayed by the execrable roads. This
is a fair sample of the good old times,
and it must lc admitted the' do not flat
ter themselves by comparison with the
times we have at present.

A DOCTOR SAYS.
Dr.I. Guy Lewis, of Fulton Ark., writes ; "One
year ago I was taken sick, a friend argued eo
strongi in favor of Tntt's Pills that I was in
duced to u:e t.'.eru. Never did medicine have a
ituppier effect than in my case. After a practice
of a quarter of a century I proclaim them Lbs
best anti-bilious medicine ever used. I have pre
scribed theiu in my practice ever since."
