Tia following is taken from an ac
count, published in the Baltimore
American, of a recent balloon ascen
sion with Prof. Donaldson :
Now came the most stirring incident
of our trip. From the height of 4,000 feet
we steadily ascended, the country dwarf
ing into a panorama of toys below us. 1
liad the aneroid barometer in4my hand,
and so marked our progress upward. At
6,600 feet our breaths became visible,
just as they would be on a frosty morn
ing. We already began to feel cold in
the body, but the rays of the sun beat in
upon us with a fierce intensity. The in
dex of the barometer steadily crept
nround the dial, marking oil" the thou
sands until it reached the fourteenth,
then flying back again, and starting from
zero, from when.se it progressed once
more around the dial until it halted on
the vergo of the two-thousandth, telling
ustUat we were only about 100 feet less
than 10,000 feet above the earth.
At this height the world was an ob
scurity to us, a vapory haze shot it out
from our view, and we could detect
nothing of it but the silver lines that
marked the great bays and rivers. From
a contemplation of the indistinct scene I
revert to my own feelings. The air was
very cold, and the sun was very warm.
The thermometer stood at eighty-two de
grees, the sun was intensely hot, as its
rays fell upon us, but for all that we
might as well have been in an Arctic re
gion. Thb i one of the most curious
phenomena of life above the clouds.
The rarefaction of the air hardly accounts
for the chilling cold which penetrates
you through and through, while the ther
mometer and the heat of the solar rays
are indicating a high summer tempera
ture. At the height of 15.000 feet 1 was
shivering, while my head seemed to be
burning up, and all the blood in my body
rushing toward it. I felt a very slight
difficulty in breathing, but my ears were
stopped up, and I could hardly hear what
Sir. Fox was savins: to me when he was
standing by my side.
We did not remain long at this tre
mendous elevation. We slipped down
through the atmosphere to between
11,000 and 12,000 feet above the earth,
and it was there we had bur grandest
view. We had within our range of
vision at the same moment Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Harrisbursr, the Chesa
peake and Delaware Bays, and all their
upper tributaries, and also Annapolis
and most of the smaller towns were in
eluded within this extended vision. But
the grandest feature of all was when,
gazing downwardly, we very plainly per
ccived the Atlantic Ocean, there was
no mistake about it; the mist had lifted
a little and we could plainly see where
the waters of the Delaware Bay mingled
with those of the Atlantic.
The view at this time was above the
Dossibilitv of lanerusee to picture. The
peninsula of land between the Chesa
peake and Delaware Bays was buti
thread of dark green upon the landscape;
the Susquehanna Biver w as hardly per
ceptible, except for the dark line which
we knew to be the great bridge across it;
the country below us was but a checker
board of indistinct green and white
squares; Baltimore and Philadelphia
were only masses of shade upon the map ;
but the great ocean was a reality, and tc
a view of it we constantly turned our
eyes, with a feeling that here was some
thing everlasting and enduring. The
panorama that came within our scope of
vision was probably not less than 200
square miles, but from our height of
16,000 feet it seemed to be dwarfed to a
space you might cover with vour hand
kerchief. It seemed to us as If we were
looking through the wrong end of our
field-giass.
When at this height of 10,000 feet, or
over three miles above the earth, Prof.
Donaldson told us that the balloon hud
obtained its equilibrium; that it was
poised on exact balance, and that as soon
as the gas commenced to condense, even
in the slightest degree, we would de
scend rapidly. And it was precisely in
this fashion that we did go down.
Taking Care of Tools.
It will not do, in these daj's, to leave
the plow in the furrow, the harrow in
the field, and the mower or reaper under
an open shed with a leaky roof. These
and all lesser implements must be care
fullv put awav in drv quarters, for to
allow them to rest during the winter will
injure them more than several campaigns
of active service. The depreciation of
machinery is very rapid, even when
properly cared for; when neglected, this
depreciation is simply destruction, quick
anl sure.
Reapers, mowers and drills should be
taken apart and cleaned, each bolt
dipped in melted tallow, and then re
placed. Every portion of wood and ex
posed iron should be covered with a good
coat of paint, if not already thus pro
tected, and all parts made of steel should
be taken oil", well anointed with olive
oil and wrapped in paper or put away in
a damp-proof tool-house or store-room
The machines themselves should be kept
in a building with a tight roof over it,
and fowls should not be permitted to get
access to them. Poultry take a perverse
delight in perching upon such imple
ments, but no tidy farmer will gratify
tliem to this extent.
Plows should be brought in, well
washed and cleaned from the soil, the
wood work coated with petroleum and
the shares and mold-boards scoured oft,
polished, and then brushed over with a
thick wash of lime. They will not then
rust in the least, and in the spring will
come out clean and bright. No salt
should be brought in contact with tools
of any kind, nor old salt sacks be thrown
over them. Harrows should be cleaned.
the wood work oiled with petroleum or
painted, and the teeth taken out and
sharpened for next season's service. All
repairs should be made against time of
need, to avoid vexatious delavs in the
hurry of planting or harvest. Mechanics
will work for somewhat less in the win
ter than in summer, when they are busier,
anu that is an important consideration
Besides, that old adage about "a stitch
in time" applies most forcibly to farm
tools. Wagons should now be washed
clean, and immediately painted and put
under cover. It is only a simple truth
that such care of tools and implements
as we suggest will lengthen out -their
period of usefulness far beyond that of
their ordinary endurance. Xew York
Tribune.
caught the man by the arm. I found
the dog holding the man, and the drawer
closing held hU hand. The dog imme
diately released him, and I told the man
to take a seat, which he reiusea to ao,
but started for the door. The dog was
before him and guarded the door.
When my employer came in I went out
for an officer, and with him went to the
office of the Justice, where I gave my
testimony and the man was sent to jail,
while I went back to the store. Now the
intelligence of the dog showed itself. He
had, unknown to me, followed us to the
office and laid down under the Justice s
table, and instead of following me home
he accompanied the man to the jail, kept
his eyes on the man until the jailer bad
turned the key on him, when he turned
and trotted home."
W. M. fetrvker. Eldorado, Kan.,
writes to me this very admirable illustration:
"At the village of Chelsea, Butler
County. Kan., durins this summer (1874)
the Granges held a meeting on Saturday
evening, at w hich Jack, a dog, was an
attendant. Though he had never been
initiated the Grangers permitted him to
be present and listen to the discussions.
Jack was not much interested in the
topics discussed by the Patrons of Hus
bandry, nor stirred by the eloquence of
the speakers, and went to sleep, as some
of the Patrons themselves might have
done. Jack slept so soundly that the
meeting closed, the members retired, and
poor Jack was locked in the school
house. Now that same house is used for
school-house, town hall, Sabbath-school
room and various other purposes. But
there was no relijrious service the next
day, and poor Jack spent a lonely Sab
bath, fasting. Jlonday morning arrived
and brought no prospect of release to
poor Jack, although he had left the traces
of vigorous ellorts put forth for his own
release, but all unavailing. At length
he hit on an expedient that proved suc
cessful. Just over the door hangs the
bell rope, with a loop in the end, by
which it is hitched on a nail. Jack
sprang and caught the bell rope, full six
aua a half feet Irom the tloor, ana rang
the bell! The villagers were startled!
What can that mean? There i3 no school;
it is vacation. Presently dona went the
bell again, and so he continued to rin
until some one took the key and went to
see what was the matter. So poor Jack
was released and'trotted off home, a dis
tance of about two miles."
A Broken-Down Wall Street Gambler.
A New York letter to the Cincinnati
Gazette gives the history of a Wall street
stock-gambler who has played out his
haud:
Here is a man of sixty who looks ex
tremely shattered,' and, as he is an old
acquaintance, l am much interested in
his case. He has a wife and family
which have for years considered them
selves rich, but they are now poor and
must remain so. The present is hard
enough, but the future looks worse. The
man sunk everything he had in one
week. He spends a certain amount of
time every day at the Stock Exchange,
indulging his feelings and trying to recall
the past. After tins be goes to his task
and toils through the duties which now
give him bread.
1 have known this man half a lifetime,
and knew his father also. The latter
was a thrifty man, who by great industry
paid for a farm which he bequeathed to
this lellow and his sister. 1 he young
man studied law and had a good practice,
but he got to speculating in stock, and
this destroyed his habits of labor. He
maile some hits which only led him to
bolder attempts. His luck continued,
and at last he became proverbially sue
cessful, so much so that many applied to
him for advice on the subject. He grad
ually reached a fortune of f 150,000, which
was secure in his own hands a week be-
iore tne panic, n is sister s money was
also in his possession. At that time (Au
gust, 1873) he concluded that Central
Hudson, which stood at par, would go to
lo) and he spread his l.j0,000 so as to
control a million. In others he bouirht
a million worth and paid $150,000 down
as a margin, and a bank lent him the re
mainder, holding his stock as security,
His plans were disappointed. The panic
knocked the stock down to eighty-five,
and the bank demanded its money. His
loan was at five days' call and he could
not meet it. The stock was sacrificed
and in one week he was beggared, be
sides sinking his entire patrimony. For
tunately, he has siacegot employment at
$100 a month, and this keeps him from
the street. He does the low drudgery of
a firm which gave it to him principally
on the score of friendship, and his sister
takes in sewing. Such is the condition
of a once-envied speculator. I do not
wonder at his lingering around his
former resoit, and he will continue to do
so as long as he lives. The tears he
sheds (real tears, not figures of speech)
relieve his agony, and after the fit is over
he goes to his drudgery with as much
resignation as possible. The method of
operating which is described above is
called " buying on a margin," and no one
can practice it in a wildly-extended man
ner until he has become reckless to a
prodigious degree.

to take care of a child. I stated in my
advertisement that the applicant must
call at two o'clock in the afternoon.
I went down to my store as usual
but had not been there over two hours
when a messenger arrived, saying that I
must come home immediately, that the
house was full of girls, and that my wile
had been oblieed to call in a policeman.
Hurrying home, I found that not only the
down-stairs hall was full, but that the
halls up to the third story were equally
filled with "half-crown inrls."
'The front door had been closed upon
them, but those inside took possession of
the house and let the others in. They
would not go even when threatened by
the officer, and it took me the whole day

The Art or Etching.
To draw upon the varnished surface
of a copper plate, with a steel point, the
lines that are to give the form and light
and shadow of vour picture, to bite those
lines by the application of a bath of acid
and finally to transfer your work to
paper with ink and a printing press"-
such. in the words of an art writer, is the
simple process of etching, as it may best
be described. Such, rather, is the me
chanical portion of it. detailed in a few
words.
If I were to teach a pupil how to etch,
I should follow the natural and only
method that has been pursued from the
beginning. I should first sec whether he
dd draw with a ready hand. If he
could not. and I had fair reasons for
supposing that he had within him a tal
ent that needed only cultivation to bring
it out, I should furnish him with pen ana
ink, or a choice set of lead pencils (the
latter are not to be so highly commend
ed), and ask him to sketch "an oak tree
that towered in an neighbor s yard; or a
plain rural cottaee on the wayside; or an
old well-sweep and the bushes around it;
or the outlet of a brook emptying into the
pond ; or one or two of the sheep brows-
ine alone the fence.
I should ask him to sketch any one ot
these several objects as opportunity oc
currednot to make a careful and con
cise drawing of it always remembering
to mark, in a fair and artistic manner,
the shades and lights, the outlines and
dots, and the odds and ends. And when
he had succeeded, after repeated trials,
in brine: out the effect when he had re
lated artistically, for instance, how the
sheep wandering from the main flock had
sought the rich verdure that clung to the
shadow of the fence, but not designed
the same in their truthful proportions-
he should next use sepia and a brush, and
endeavor therewith to make drawings on
a grander scale, wherein the contrast of
hc-ht and shade might be more luny ana
forcibly exhibited.

Dog
Stories.
As evidence that dogs have reasoning
powers " lrena?us" tells the following
well-authenticated anecdotes in a recent
number of the New York Obxercer:
Key. Dr. A. T. Fullerton, of Eric,
Pa., writes: ' Mrs. J. has for some time
past been the owner of a fine Esquimaux
dog. A few months ago 31 rs. J. became
the mother of a beautiful little girl, of
whom the dog at first was very jealous.

serted itself, and he became very fond
of the child. A few weeks ago baby

up stairs in evident distress of spirit.

finally, as if a sudden thought had
startled him, trotted quickly down stairs.
He presently returned with a bone, well
picked, of course, in his mouth, which,
standing on his hind legs, he gravely
presented to the oaoy.
"In evidence of the truth of this story

aunt, Mrs. G., not to mention the baby

Certainly there were several steps like
those of logic in this performance, and
simple as is the story it is one of the
best we have had. It shows how much
the dog reasoned, and how very feeble
nis reasoning was.

Advertising For a Boy.
A xotice in a city paper that a " bov'
is wanted is pretty likely to be answered
by a whole multiplication-table of boys,
The New York correspondent of the
London American tells how he saw the
thing managed at the corner of Fulton
and Nassau streets, where a citizen was
besieged by a brigade of applicants:
" We are continually hearing of the
advantages of advertising, but the disad
vantages of that process for making
known one s wants have never been told.
I will give a few instances. A friend of
mine was walking through Bond street
the other morning when he came upon a
crowd of over a hundred boys standing
in front oi a house. They were laughing
and screaming, and completely blocked
up the sidewalk.
" -uy menu stopped to see what was
going on, and was surprised to see the
door oi the house open suddenly and a
man's hand thrust out into the crowd,
grab a boy, pull him inside, and bang the
door shut again.
Such singular conduct excited his cu
riosity, and on going up to a man who
was bitting on the front steps of the
house he asked him what was the mat
ter.
"'Nothing at all,' said the man, 'only
we advertised for four boys in this morn
ing s papers, and early as it is you see
the result.' There was nothing left for
the man who wanted the boys to do but
make his selection from the window,
then grab the boy and pull him in."

A Horrible Appetite.
An unfortunate lunatic who died in the
Prestwick Asylum on the 18th ult.
seems to have lived not wisely but too
well. A post-mortem examination led to
the discovery of no fewer than 1,841 arti
cles in his inside namely, l,oo0 shoemak
ers' sparables, 0 lour-inch cut nails, 19
three-inch cut nails, 8 two and a half-inch
cut nails, 18 two-inch cut nails, 40 half-
inch cut nails, 9 three-quarter-inch cut
nails, J9 tacks, 5 brass nails, brass brace
buttons, 20 pieces of buckles, I pin, 14
bits of glass, 10 small pebbles, 3 pieces of
string, 1 piece of leather three inches
long, 1 piece of lead four inches long,
and 1 American pegging-awl the total
weight being eleven pounds and ten
ounces. It seems strange that any man's
state of mind should be such that he
could take as much pleasure in eating the
contents of a rag-and bottle shop as of a
butcher s or pastry-cook s establishment ;
but the story shows that if, as often al
leged, the equilibrium of the mind is to
a great extent dependent on the digestion.
so the converse is true and the appetite
is more than we are aware of dependent
on the condition of the brain. This poor
lunatic who gormandized on rusty nails,
broken glass and other rubbish was
probably mtie more mad than many
otner persons who habitually eat food, if
not " unfit for human consumption," at
least so injurious to the constitution that
it causes premature death. If an alder
man, for instance, were really in his right
senses he would not live on turtle and
punch; it is because he is guided by ap
petite rather than reason that he is often
afflicted with the gout and dies univer
sally respected, no doubt, but still before
his time. The guests at any large dinner
party are as a rule equally " crazed."
They do not, it is true, swallow their
knives and forks or feed in quite such an
extravagant fashion as the Prestwick
lunatic, but the difference between him
and them in the matter of sanity as re
gards their appetites and diet is a mere
question of degree. Pall Mall Gazette,

There Is no better oil found to protect
instruments, such as files, saws, guns,

them from rusting. Wipe the metal with
a cloth dipped into the oil and let it dry,

Tomato Sauce. Stew a dozen large
tomatoes with cayenne pepper and salt,
until they become like a marmalade.

The Boston .Laboratory gives as a
water-proof dressing for boots, shoes and
leather the following: Lard oil, 100
parts; paraffin, fifty parts; beeswax, five
parts. Gently warm the oil and in it
dissolve the paraffin and wax. If too
hard add a little less wax. Any disa
greeable smell may be removed by a few
drops of oil of sassafras. The wax pre
vents the crystallization of the paraffin,
and the oil causes the whole to become a
paste of the consistency of tallow. The
dressing fi'ls the pores of the leather,
does not dry, but keeps the leather soft
and pliable, liocts and shoes to which
the dressing is applied may be polished,
using ordinary blacking, which is not the
case with most dressing containing oil or

How to Clean Marble. Marble of
any kind, alabaster, any hard stone or
glass, may be repolished by rubbing it
with a linen cloth dressed with oxide of

folds of linen should be fastened tight
over a piece of wood, flat or other
wise, according to the form of the stone.
lo repolish a mantel-piece it should be
first perfectly cleaned. 1 his is best done
by making a paste of lime, soda and
water, wetting well the marble and ap
plying the paste, lhen let it remain for
a day or so, keeping it moist during the
interval. When this paste has been re
moved the polishing may begin. Chips
in the marble should be rubbed out first
with emery and water. At every stage
of polishing the linen and putty powder
must be kept constantly wet. Glass,
such as jewelers' show counter-cases,
which become scratched, may be pol
ished in the same way.

Exterminating
Woodehneks.
Ox many farms the crops and culti
vated fields suller seriously from the
rawges of woodchucks. 1 often see in
quiries in the agricultural papers how to
get rid of them. I have been troubled
very much with them ; thev even came
near the buildings ana made their places
of abode without fear of dancrer. They
did so much damage that I determined
to make war upon them. I procured
dog, which proved a good one for the
business, and was not long in disposing
ot a large number. 1 also got some traps,
and made a business of catclnna: them
wherever found. I prefer the traps made
with a C spring, which can be had at
most hardware -stores. They are cheap
the one which has caught the most cost
only fifty cents. They are small and can
be set in small burrows, and are very
effective in holding the woodchucks when
caught. By pursuing this course for
three years their numbers have decreased
very much. If they did not come in
from adjoining farms I should be com
pletely rid of them. I have found that
they are migratory in their habits. Every
ourrow aoes not nave an occupant. In
exterminating them it is best to destroy
tueir Habitations uy niiingup witn stones
and earth. Empty tenements invite un
desirable tenants, and unless destroyed
they will make use of them for sheltet
and safety in moving from place to place
ana oiten stop when they would nor
otherwise if they had to dig new holes,
It is important to get those living in the
pastures and woods, as they will soon
seek the fields.
A good dog will visit the places where
they live a number of times daily, and
often surprise and capture them. They
are not slow to leave a locality which
abounds in dogs and traps, regarding
such places as unhealthy.
in the task of exterminatinsr wood
chucks nothing but well-directed effort
will be successful. Farmers spend much
time in nghting enemies to their crops
and should not rest until they have ex
tended the fight to the woodchuck. Cor,
Country Gentleman.

The very best glass and china is always
well seasoned, or "annealed." as the
manufacturers say, before it is sold. If
the wares are properly seasoned in this
way they may be washed in boiling
water without fear of fracture, except in
frosty weather, when, even with the best
annealed wares, care must be taken not
to place them suddenly in too hot water.
Stealing Heaven's .Livery. The
great Alcoltolles Remedy, Vinegar Bit
ters, is everywhere driving pestiferous
rum potions out of the market. That
famous combination of the finest me
dicinal herbs on the continent of Amer
ica is accomplishing such cures of dis
eases which affect the stomach, the liver,
the bowels, the kidneys and the nervous
system that the grateful masses have
adopted it as their Standard Specific. The
various rum bitters have gone down be
fore this pure vegetable antidote like
tenpins before a well-aimed ball. The
people have at length discovered that all
the spirituous excitants are worse than
shams that both morally and medici
nally they are inimical to the well-being
and safety of the community. It won't do.
The handwriting is on the wall! They
are weighed and found wanting. Rum
remedies are defunct, and Vinegar Bit
ters, the universal antidote, reigns
in their stead. o
