OUT OF DANGER.
"A letter, Miss," said Sarah, Miss
Baiclay's maid, presenting herself at
the side of the work-table, on which
were heaped variously tinted crewels
with which Mi3s Barclay was executing
a composition in the Kensington outline
work.
"A letter!" repeated Miss Barclay,
taking it into her hand; "and from
Cousin Elizabeth, to be sure!"
Then carefully cutting the envelope
lor tearing a letter open was not one of
Miss Barclay's habits she perued the
contents, which, after some prelimi
naries, ran as follows :
And now, Heter, I want you to do me af
or. I hope It will not Inconvenience you; but
I am iery anxious to have my daughter Abby
leave home for uwhUe, and I should be so
fileased to have her come to j ou. She is deep
n a love ulTalr w ith a man I hate. His name
fa Fnincls Oholmondly. I'd lather have ber
inHn- unv other decent man on earth. I do
not know" whv I luiio him so, except that he
is a puppy, fte'4 not so poor that he could
not take good C!lre of a wile, and he is rather
handsome. In his nasty, foppish w ay. People
rather like him generally, and hts social po
slt'on is irood. I've no doubt I'm unreasona
ble, but I won't have Abby marry him; uud if
I can KCt her aw ay, I can get i ill of him. So I
tell ou franklv my reasons for asking you to
Invite her, and I know how ood-natured you
wo. Jt will be a thankless task, for she's ter
ribly gulky Just now, but I'll be ev er grateful
to von.
And then the letter wandered awav
again into matters that do not concern
tlTis storv, and ended in the signature
Elizabeth Marsh.
"Poor Lizzie! she always had such
strong whims," said Miss'Barclay, go
ing on with tlie folds of the purple robe
of a thin blondo figure traced upon the
background. "One of them was to
marry Caleb Marsh. I don't believe
that has turned out quite as well as it
might. However, I'm fond of Lizzie,
and I shouldn't mind having Abby here.
I'll write at once and ask her. And
by the way I'll invite Brother Kich
aid's boy to comedown, and bring a
friend with him. Every one is glad of a
week's country visit in summer. They'll
both fall in love with the girl in this
lonesome place; and there's no such
cure for one love affair as another."
Miss Bat clay was a lady of prompt
and decisive action. Two letters were
at the office before the next mail went
out, and three bedrooms were being put
into apple-pie outer, and the cook was
instructed as to certain provisions to be
prepared for the expected guests.
"Brother Isaac and myself will be all
the better for having the young people
about us," said Miss Barclay; but cook,
an old servant, who prided herself on
being "free spoken," was of opinion
that "peace and quietness would be
broke up by all sorts of racket, and that
she'd no doubt they'd be obliged to buy
butter."
However, as cook afterward re
mai ked, she was well aware that was
not her lookout. And ou Saturday the
lUige paused at the door, and from its
top clambered down two youths; one
big and rough-headed, the other small
and sleek, but both armed with port
manteaus, gun-cases and fishing-rods
exactly resembling each other.
" All right, driver," cried the rough
hended j-oulh "all right, driver."
"This is the young lady's stjpping-
Clitce, too," shouted the driver. "This
1 Mia-. Barclay's."
But by this time the young lady was
getting out.
She was a pretty girl, with a splendid
head of black hair, which, when Miss
Barclay had seen her last, he had worn
in two long braids down her back. Now
she was wondei fully grown no longer
a little girl, but a young lady, with a
coiffure of putfs, and crimps that was a
myter 10 prim Mis B.uclay. A co
quettish hat was set very inueh on one
s'de of her head, and instead of the sul
len scowl Miss Barclay had expected,
she greeted the lady with the most beam
ing smiles.
" Dear Cousin Barclay," she ex
claimed, "how good of jou to ask me
to this lovely place! I adore the coun
try, and I am so pleased to see you
again. How sweet you look ! I must
kiss you. I just feel that I am going to
be perfectly happy all the time I'm
here."
"Is she acting, or does she mean it?"
asked the spinster to herself. "It's a
oomfort to find her so pleasant, any
how." But she answered heartily and
merrily, and sending Sarah to show her
young cousin the way to her room,
that she might 1 efresh herself after her
journey, turned her attentions to the
youths, with whom she had as yet only
ihakcn hands.
"1 am so glad you came at once,
Fied," she said, "and so pleased that
you brought Mr. "
"Mr. Oakley," said Fred. "My col
lege chum Frank Oakley. My dear
aunt, we're very much obliged to you,
and father sent his love, and mother
wonders when you intend to come to see
her: and I've a letter, and some pat
terns and things in my bag. And, Aunt
Hester, what a pretty girl that is' She's
traveled all the way with us in the
ears, and from the depot in the stage.
Never saw such a pretty girl before."
"That's cousin Lizzie's daughter,
Abby," replied Miss Barclay. "She
paid a visit to your house when von
were twelve years old, but you wouldn't
speak to her. You said" yon hated
girls."
"What a cub I was," replied the shock
head, "ravely. "Well, I don't know,
Aunt Hester. As for Frank, he adores
them. Don't yon, Frank?"
Frank looked modest.
"There is so much to admire in all
wo I mean in all ladies," he an
swered, with a little lisp.
"What a very polite young .man,"
thought Miss Barclay.
It was a very merry tea-table. Old
Mr. Isaac Barclay, to be sure, did very
little but eat, after having solemnly
shaken hands all round ; but Fred was
a host in hiinself,and Miss Barolaj' chat
tered as merrily as the young people.
That very night she wrote to her Cousin
Elizabeth :
Lizzie, mv Dkau: You'd be delighted to
fee the success of our plan. Abbv is as
happy a a queen. he lias found two "beanx
het my nephew Fred, and u friend of bis.
Fred seems ery much taken. I've no doubt
lie wdl cut our"puppy" iilie out, and Abby
couldn't make a bettei match; u ood fellou
ith a little fortune aid line prospect- In his
Srofession. I hope it will come to something,
eannhile, comfort outelf. Abby U heart
whole. Yours truly, a eer,
Heteu.
The weather was bright for the next
three weeks. The skies seemed to smile
upon the spinster and her guests. They (
ijuh. iuiuj Hiiuv, unves, excursions, anu
Fied was devoted to his aunt. Mean
while, Mr. Frank Oakley did his best to
please Miss Abby, who did not refuse to
be pleased.
" Don't -tick to me, Fred, if you want
to cut Frank out," Miss Hester would
sometimes whisper, but Fied always
answered that he felt well contented ;
and, on the whole, Miss Barclay de
cided that Abby was too frivolous for
Fred.
' Bat your friend is a good fellow, is
fee not?" she atked. You know Abby
Is in my care." And Fred thereupon
swore that Frank was a gentleman, and
a good fellow; well to do also. "As
good a husband as any girl could have,
n he does lisp and blush," continued
Fred. "Don't trouble yourself, aunt;
nothing better could happen to Cousin
Abby than to marry Frank."
"Then he really means to offorP"
queried Miss Barclay.
" O, he's desperate," answered Fred.
And that night another letter was
written to Cousin Elizabeth, which con
tained this sentence :
Now, Cousin Lizzie, I am in a dilemma.
Fied and Abbv are not smitten with eath
other, but Fred ha. brought a frieni of his
here, a Mr. Frank Oakley, w ho is making love
to your girl. Give me my instructions. Fied
assures me he is an excellent match and a
good fellow, and I consider him most agreea
ble. But am I to foster the affair or S"nd hi in
packing? Abby is your daughter. I await
instructions. I know your temper, Eliza
beth. We quarreled once; don't let us do it
again.
The answer was brief as a telegram :
Any young man but that detestable Francis
Cholmondly. Foster it.
So the young people were left to their
own devices; the house rang with
laughter, the orchard was robbed, the
horses driven out for moonlight rides,
the boat was forever on the river, and
the voice of the piano told all passers-by
that "Miss Barclay had company."
There were parties at the old house,
too, and even old Isaac Barclay was
sufficiently interested to sit up until
nine o'clock, and to tell a very long
story without any end about a visit he
had once made to Boston, where he had
his pocket picked.
The pleasantest days that had ever
been known at the Barclay were these,
and they had been prolonged two
months, and now Fred must go home
must indeed nor could Frank linger
longer.
"And I must go, too, aunt," said
Abby. "I suppose I must, but I shall
never forget this happy time, and I
want you to kiss me to-night and tell
me that you'll always love me.for you've
been kinder than ever ma was to ine.''
Abby said this late at night, sitting
on a low stool at Miss Barclay's feet,
and there were tears in her eves. But
next morning when the confiding old
lady arose, Sarah met her with an omi
nous iook, and the declaration that
something must have happened.
"How you scare me, Sarah!" cried
Miss Barclay. "What can have hap
hened? Brother Isaac is well, isn't
"lie's well enough," replied Sarah.
"But Miss Abby haint been abed all
night, and her trunk is gone, and here's
a note that laid on her pillor."
Miss Barclay seized the missive and
opened it with shaking hands. It read
thus:
Deaiilst Auntie Don't be angry. Remem
ber your promise to love me alu ays. When
you read this I shall be married. I shall be
Mrs. Francis Oakley Cholmondly. Fred is

"I shall die!" screamed Miss Bar
clay. "I'd rather, than to face Eliza
beth." But she did not; nobody did. Every
body is alive and well at "this moment,
and even his prejudiced mother-in-law
has come to admit that Frank is not so
bad a fellow, after all. N I". Isdgcr
Turkey's Dilemma.
The interest of the moment centers
about the question whether Turkey will
yield to the demand of England, and
agree to punish Arabi for his war on
women and children. The Turkish
Government is controlled by two oppos
ing forces. It has its thoroughly po
litical party, made up of men who know
something of the world, who are well
read in foreign literature, have studied
history, have mingled with foreigners,
and w'ho know something of the weak
ness of the Turkish Empire. But these
men of politics are hampered in their
discussion of measures by the fact that
they are Moslems and are responsible to
the Moslem world for their thoughts and
acts. Of the same religious faith as the
purely political party among the Turks,
and yet opposed to its methods in al
most every particular, is the religious
party. This party is composed of men
of great weight in learning, and is sup
ported by the mass of the people. But
the learning of the great men of this
party is learning in the Arabic philoso
phy of by-gone centuries. Thee learned
men are occupied with problems of hair
splitting in the interpretation of the
Koran, and are as completely out of the
world as if they were in equatorial Afri
ca. They live in an age long gone by,
and have no idea that science has made
:my progress since Arabian science led
the wot Id, or that infidels can have any
knowledge or any moial greatness or
any physical power that can cope with
Islam. This party sees Turkey ham
pered by demands of infidels. Here in
Constantinople, as in Egypt, the sole
measure that it has to propose is the ad
hesion of the Turkish Government to
the ancient principle of Islam : "If a
man is an unsubmitted infidel, kill
him." This religious party has been
enormously strengthened of late by she
adoption by the Government of the Pan
Islamic theory of recovering strength.
It is fully capable of thwarting measures
concocted by the Porte in open council.
It is undoubtedly the case that the same
party in Egypt, with its massacres and
outrages, has gone far beyond Arabi
Pashas originalintention. The Sultan
has thought to use this religious party to
strengthen his position, expecting to bo
able to control its fiercer tendencies.
But now he finds it a mighty power and
stands before it in a great dilemma.
This ignorant party of action has made
Arabi Pasha its hero, and sings aloud
his praises in all our daily papers. If
the Porte decides to condemn Arabi it
will have to face the whole religious ele
ment of the country and risk a revolt.
If it does not condemn Arabi and his
works, England will move on to the
conquest of Egypt. Then the Porte
must still face the religious doctors, and
answer the question why it allows infidel
England to attack and crush Moslems
who are only guilty of carrying out the
precepts of Islam.
The dilemma is terrible. To punish
Arabi is to side with infidel Europe
against the faithful. Not to punish him
is to be forced sooner or later into the
adoption of the principle of a holy war,
with all its "chain of mighty oonse
quences. The political leaders know
what the end would be. They know
that Turkey has not a gun and not a
cartridge that has not come from Chris
tian workshops. The religious leaders
know no such thing; they do not know
that the difference between Islam and
Christendom on the battlefield in the
difference between the sword and the
Gatling gun. So these religious leaders,
with their belief in divine interposition,
in astrological signs, and with their hope
of a glorious era soon to dawn, are
pressing the Government to throw down
the gantlet to all Christendom. The
fact is that the little issues in Egypt are
quite obscured by the looming of the
mighty struggle, between all Islam and
all Christendom, whose occurence is now
hanging in the balance. The Turkish
Government would hail with double joy
any break in the agreement of the Eu
ropean Powers. Such a break would
not only relieve the Porte of the neces-.
sity of answering for the acts of the
Egyptian fanatics, but would also de
prive the Constantinople fanatics of the
power to insist on a miscellaneous at
tack on all Europeans. ConstantinopU

Points in Economic Feeding.
Broadly stated there are five cardinal
points we are compelled to observe in
the East in economical beef production.
Theso are, good steers, warm quarters,
thoughtful food, combinations arranged
with some reference to manure value,
and early maturity. Not without m.ieh
observation I affirm our Eastern cattle
are of too low a type. Experience
teaches me that as distinguished from
the scrub, the good steer, well-bred
grade even of the larger breeds, is a
better feeder of the so called coarse
foods straw, swale hay and corn fod
der than the poorer sorts so often han
dled to consume the hard fare of the
farm. A beast of this sort will not only
eat better but thrive better on these
food's than the scrub, provided he has
enough, and this "enough" becomes
more productive per pound eaten. This
"enough" makes the difference between
the early matured and the later matured
steer. The steer turned at two years,
weighing 1,200 pounds, eats m'ainte
naucs fodder for two years less than a
steer weighing 1,200 pounds turned at
four years. The maintenance fodder
for a 1,000 pound steer is about eighteen
pounds of hay a day, according to my
te3ts. Thus the good steer I find is not
only my most uncomplaining eater, but
the earliest turned, and hence the most
economical.
Economy dictates that his winter
quarters must be warm the tempera
ture should average, say, forty-five de
Srees. In carefuldaily tests by scales,
lermometer, etc., I found that I re
ceived about 100 per cent, interest one
winter on the outlay for arranging bet
ter quarters than those of average New
England barn stables. We can not
afford to attempt to heat space with hay.
Lumber and paper are cheaper than
grain. The ration for the good steer in
good quarters should not oe of oheap
foods alone, nor entirely of the best
foods. The latter is not the most eco
nomical ration, .is a practical feeder,
I should not regard a hay and grain
ration as a good ration where the price
of hay is high. As I have before stated
in the Rural, I know of no more eco
nomical ration, where hay Ls to enter
into it at all, than clover (called hay)
and straw mixed when moderate growth
is desired say one pound a day. When
fattening is desired tiie addition of grain
will make an effective food.
With fairly bred grade Short-horns
I can make from 1,100 to 1,200 pounds
by easy stages of growth, turning my
products at full market rates as follows :
Now milk for first two or three weeks;
then skim milk, middings and corn
meal. At a little more age, cotton-seed
meal is substituted for middlings. The
first winter, clover and clover rowen
with some corn fodder or straw,or both,
are fed with cotton-seed and corn meal.
The second winter, clover and straw
are often the only food, or a ration of
three pounds of cotton-seed meal and
straw or corn fodder or both alone is
fed. As we raise much corn, often half
of this meal is fed. When we purchase
meal, my general practice is to buy
cotton-seed meal, as it is so valuable as
a manure as well as especially valuable
to supplement straw for growing steers.
The growth by this system is not the
rapid growth of high feeding, but hav.
ing no pasture near home, this is adopt
ed as an economical one. My expe
rience is that high-pressure feeding in
winter is not consistent with di-tant and
ordinary pastures. When ordinary pas
tures are near at hand high winter
feeding can be supplemented by sum
mer pasture feeding with grain to ad
vantage. By the system named, September,sales
are made. This gives three summers'
growth (summer growth costs me but
about one cent per pound) for two win
ters' feeding. The weight named in
sures a good sale upon an economical
growth. The expense I could easily
irive, but it would be for local rates.
Better data are at hand. If the ration
is entirely hay the calf will consume
three per cent, of its live weight daily,
and the year-old two-and-one-half per
cent. With urging each will eat more.
When grain is given, a pound, in round
numbers, takes the place of a pound of
hav and insures faster growth generally.
When straw or clover is fed, or straw
and grain, less is eaten. A steer that
will eat 25 pounds of hay will not use
over 15 pounds of straw when accom
panied with three pounds of meal, or
generally three-fifths as much. When
corn fodder is given, with what is wast
ed, nearly as many pounds have to be
fed as of hay not quite. Swale hay and
two to three pounds of cotton-seed meal
are often fed for an entire winter, in
terchanged with straw or corn fodder.

A River Romance.
Seated near us was a lady and her
daughter, about nineteen years old.
She, too, was listening to Captain As
bury's yarns. They were about his ad
ventures on the river, his trials and
tribulations, his joys and sorrows.
"About eighteen year ago," he said,
"when I was running between St. Louis
and Keokuk, there came on the boat at
Hannibal one of the handsomest young
women I had seen in all my life." She
had a little girl with her, more hand
some than she was. The ladv came up
to me, for she was a lady, and asked me
to take her to Keokuk, as she desired to
go to Burlington to her friends, and that
she had not a cent in the world with
which to pay her fare. Her pleading
eyes wero too much for mine, and I
bade the clerk consign her to a state
room, as it was in the middle of the
night. The boat was delayed by a
heavy fog, and wo were compelled to
lay at the bank until long after daylight.
The lady approaohrd and thanked me
ever so much, and told me that she was
the wife of a Confederate Captain who
had been shot and killed by a party of
scouts or guerrillas: her home had been
robbed and burnt, and she, with her
child, succeeded in fleeing from the
sceue of carnage, and was the next day
brought to Hannibal by a kind farmer,
in whose house she had sought protec
tion. Girls, that woman's story and
wrongs and suffering made my heart
softer. I know it did, and I put my
hand into my pocket and gave her a $20
greenback, for I thought she needed it.
Well, I haven't seen or heard of her
since, but I hope she is happy, and that
little girl of hers a handsome and grown
up woman."
The lady who was listening to the
Captain's little story arose from ber
chair, and, taking the hand of her
daughter, approached the Captain, say
ing: " Yes, we are both happy, and I
will havft vnn iuricrp nhnnf thr cmrul
looks of the grown-up daughter, for nere
she is."
Captain Asbury stood as if struck as
dumb as the fellow who caused the
miiden to hurl herself off vonder rock,
for we were near that noted landmark.
He peered into the lady's face, plainly
dicernible by the reflection of the elec
tric light, in utter- astonishment. The
Captain recognized the lady and even
the now grown up young lady, and ex
pressed himself pleased to see them
again. After mutual greeting and in
troduction to us girls, the lady, Mrs.
Russell, who now resides in New York,
went into the cabin and soon returned
upon the "roof " with a piece 01 paper
in her hand, which she handed to the
Captain. It was a check for 200 which
she desired to return to him for his
kindness eighteen years ago. Captain
Asbury refused the proffered check,
and no persuasion ould iiidnce iiim to
accept. Of course Mrs. and Miss Rus
sell were admitted to our circle, and the
trip up the river was made more joyous
than ever, as she proved to be a very
intelligent and worthy lady, and wealthy,
and her daughter proved to be as lovely
in disposition as she was beautiful in
face and form. Dtibuquc la.) Herald.

The Bay of Mont St. Michel is one of
the most perilous seas in the world.
E juinoctial tides rise in it to the height
of fifty feet, and oidin u-y files to thirty-five
feet The distance between high
and low water marks is more than six
miles in some places, and the rapidity
of the currents, especially ou a stormy
day, maelstrom-like. Quicksands, too,
are numerous, and a boat shoaled on
one of them during ebb-tide has little
chance of its ciew being saved; as re
gards itself, none. In calm weather
the boats fish in the shallowest waters,
their keels occasionally heeling in the
mud; and here they take soles, turbot,
doree, brill and skate in considerably
quantities. Government forbids fishing
within a mile of the shore; but so soon
as night sets iu and screens the fisher
men and their fleets from the look-outs
of the steam gunboat at Granville and

of Cancale to the verge of starvation,

question is this one of mailage among
a class of individuals who earn their
living from the depths of the sea that
candidates for State or municipal offices
in v ariably promise the elootors to ob
tain for them the privilege of smaller

ise, whether carried out or not, being
the only safe "card" for securing suc

It is easy to understand how a mill or
factory may tremble or vibi ate with its
own machinery; that it will also vibrate
to the motion of other objects, outside
and removed from it. is more difficult to
understand. Yet this is fully proved by
observers. It is on the principle by
w hioh a note struck on the piano will
sometimes cause other objects in the
room, sa a brass medallion in a cabi
net, to tinkle iu response. The piano
wire itself will respond when its key
note isstruck. Other vibrations are not
always audible, because they may lie
outside of the range of the human ear.
Synchronous vibration has come to be
)U te a study in the construction of
mills; the jar of their own machinery is
not all that has to be provided lor.
Some apparently trilling causes vibra
ting outside will not only add to the
strain upon the building, but may act
ually interfere with the stead1 working
of looms, etc., causing; breakages and
stoppages. Mr. C. J. H. Woodbury re
lates some instances of this in a recent
book on mill construction At one of
the print works at North Adams, Mass.,
a new and unoc upied building was
found to vibrate in consequence of the
puffing of a small steam engine sixty
feet away. At Centerdale, R. I., it has
been necessary to change the height of
tle column of water ilowing over the
dam to prevent the excessive vibration
of the adjacent mill At Amesbury,
Mass., out of eleven mills that are near
the river two vibrate when water in 1 er
tain quantities flows over the dam, bat
the tremor can be wholly stopped by
changing the How of water. The mot
fi-equcnt cause of vibration is due to the
runn'ng of the machinery, and it has
repeatedly happened that a complete
cessation has been obtained by increas
ing or lessening the speed at'which the
machinery is run. This is not always
profitable or possible, and the fact that
this vibration results in a loss of power
ariously estimated at from ten to twen
ty per cent., is a strung argument in
favor of the construction of one story
mills, which would necessarily vibrate
much less than factories having a height
of six or eirht stories. Philadelphia

Per-
A strange story comes from the east
ern portion of this couuty of a woman
being struck dumb while giving false
testimony. The facts as related are as
follows: On last Friday a colored man
named James Price was on trial before
Esquire Allen, a Justice of the Peace,
who has an office on the Macon road,
between Germantown and Bartlett,
Tenn. Price had been beating a num
ber of men in the neighborhood, and
Isabella Jackson, a colored woman,
was placed on the witness stand to tell
what she knew of the matter. She bo
gau her evidence, and was soon after
asked by the Justice: "Do 3toh not
know that you aie lving?" She an
swered, "Yes, Sir." These were the
last words Isabella Jackson ever spoke.
She had appeared quite independent,
and to some extent impudent, when first
put upon the stand, and after her last
remark a number of questions were
asked, but the woman made no
reply. Believing that she was sham
ming, the Justice directed Constable
W. II. Allen to escort the witness
from the court-room, but when ordered
to follow that officer she did not move.
Two men of her own color were then
to!d to carry her out of the room. While
in the act of carrying her out it was ob
served that she was in a helpless condi
tion. She had beeu paralyzed in every
part, her limbs were motionless, her
tongue had no power, aud it soon be
came apparent to all present that the
hand of the Almighty had been laid
heavily upon her. For two hours or
thereabouts the woman remained in this
passive state, after which she was placed
in a wagon and conveyed to her home.
She never moved or spoke afterward,
but on Saturday evening she expired,
no antidote applied during the interval
having availed in affording the slightest
relief. The inc dent is verified by
'Squire Allen, before whom the woman
appeared, and also by a number of per
sons present at the time of its occur
rence. Memphis Cur.Louhcille Courier

The Pea Wc'iil.
The pea weevil ii so destructive in

where the season is too short or too
cold for in. insect, the ravages ot which

This in-ect is one of the snout beetle',
and closely allied to the cuculio,and no

If the p as. as oo as gathered, are
threshed, aud dried at a temperature of
140 degrees, the youutr ins 'els are said
to bo killed, but the seed will not germi
nate. Imiu.'r-ion of the dry peas in
scalding water for 100 seconds is said
to kill the pupa without injury to the
pea. An immerjion of about threo
minutes totally destroys germination of
the pea. Late-sown pe is usually escape
the attacks of the insert, but the crop
is then liable to mildew in the We it.
So far, it must be confessed, no cer
tain practical means have been found to
subdue the insect, and it is now feared
the allied weevil lintchus Fatx?) which
attacks tho bean, will create great loss
in this crop. In fact the weevil family
curculionidu:), or snout beetles, one of
the largest families in the order of bee
tles, and comprising over 10,000 distinot
and described species, and preying upon
all grain, legumes, fruits, and nuts, are
the most difficult to check of any of the
destructive insects
As to effective means for killing all
insects infesting seeds, the weevil tribe
generally, we have lately seen the
bisulphide of carbon recommended. It
certainly is deadly.and a small quantity
poured in the bottom of a grain bin
would permeate the whole mass. Half
a pint of the liquid is said to be sufficient
for fifty to 100 bushels of grain, since it
is both volatile and penetrating. The
Miller advises placing the chemical in
connection with the grain, in order to
got it duly in the bottom of the bin, as
follows:
Take a hollow iron cylinder a gas
pipe will do well and fit into it a wood
en rod, whioh shall be a littlo longer
than the iron tube. One end of the rod
is to be made sharp ; now place the rod
inside the tube, and with the sharp end
down force them both to the bottom of
the grain ; then, having withdrawn the
rod, turn in the liquid through the tube,
which should be pulled out. The inseot
icido, of course. Is left at the bottom of
the grain, and boing ven volatile, soon
diffuses through the mass and oonverts
the bin into au insect cemetery. Prairie

Liability of Contagion.
M. Hillairet, in the name of a com
mission romp'ts'ed of MM. H. Roger,
Bergeron and Hil'airet, rc.id before the
Academie de Medecine a report in reply
to the inquiry addressed to the Academy
bj the Minister of Public Instruction,
as to how long a pupil affected with a
contagious disease should be kept away
from school.
The report considered the following
diseases : Varicella, variola, scarlatina,
rubeola, mumps and diphtheria, and
the conclusions are as follows :
Varicella, whose progress is often ir
regular, may require ten or twelve days
for the fall of the crusts. The isolation
should be about twenty-five days.
Variola has prodromic period of three
to four days; four or five days for erup
tion : three or four days of suppuration
desiecation requires three days ; fall of
the crusts, six days. Then comes a
period of furfuraceous desquamation
without definite limit. Isolation should
not be less than forty days.
In scarlatina the period of invasion
occupies . from six to forty-eight hours,
or exceptionally three days ;the eruption
is completed in from live to eight days;
desquamation commences on the four
teenth Qr fifteenth day and lasts from
fifteen to twenty-six days. Isolation
should last forty days.
Rubeola has a prodromic period of
three to four days ; exceptionally, from
six to eight or even twelve days ; the
eruption is completed in twelve or forty
eight hours, then it declines for twenty
four hours; desquamation lasts from
eight to fifteen days. Isolation for forty
days will be sufficient.
Mumps, as a rule, has a duration in
ordinary cases of six days. Convales
cence lasts from six to seven days. If
any complication of metastasis occurs
it lasts usually about nine days. Isola
tion for twenty-five days Is sufficient.
The duration of diphtheria is very va
riable, but isolation should be maintained.
for at least forty 'layt
The commission consequently pro
pose tho adoption of the following meas
ures: 1. Pupils affected with chicken-pox,
small-pox, scarlet fevpr. measles,
mumps or diphtheria should be strictly
isolated from their comrados.
2, For small-pox, scarlet fever, mea
sles and diphtheria isolation should not
be shorter than forty days; for chiokon
pox and mumps, twenty-five days is
enough.
S. Isolation should last until after the
patient has been bathed.
4. Tho clothing worn by the patient
at the time he was taken sick should be
subjected to a temperature of 90 deg. C.
(194 Fahr.) and to sulphur vapor, and
then well scouted.
5. The bedding, curtains and furni
ture of the sick-room should be thor
oughly disinfected, washed and aired.
6. The pupil of a school, after recov
ery from one of the above contagious
diseases, should not be readmitted to the
school unless furnished with the certifi
cate of a physician that the above pre
cautions have been observed.
These conclusions were adopted by
the Acaderav. Medic ti Xetrs.
Snakes as Troat Catchers.
Mr. George W. Morris, of Bridge,
water, thinks fishermen had hotter go
into the snake-killing business along the
brooks if thoy wish to have any trout
fishing. The other day, while he was
at work near a brook near the Bridge
water and Roxbury line, the cries of a
man m the field close by attracted his
attention, and going to his help he found
a very large water snake, as saucy as
you please, jumping at the man. The
snake was 'disposed of, and, noticing
that it had something inside of it, he
pressed upon the snake with his foot,
and a trout, which was about six inohes
long, appeared in view. Altogether he
forced three good-sized trout from the
snake, the last one being pretty well
gone. At another time, as Mr. Morris
was passing along the bank of a brook,
he saw a large water snake glide from
the roots of a tree into the water. He
thought nothing of it at first, as he sup-1
posed the snake had disappeared be- '
cause of his approach, but soon there
was a commotion in the water, and
looking down into the pool, where a
number of stickers had gathered, he
saw that one of them hid been caught ,
in the head by the snake and was whip- j
ping ine water wun its tau at a tre
mendous rate. The snake succeeded
iu landing its prey, when It was killed,
and the sucker, whioh appeared to be
unharmed, was spt free by Mr. Morris.

It is aid that alcohol equal to that
mule from grain can be pioduoed from
acorns. The acorns are freed from the
shell and ground finely ; then they aro
mashed with malt and allowed to fer
ment. Acorns contain about 20 per
cent, of starch ami IS per cent, of glu
ten. They would be a valuable article
for human food if it were not for the
tannic acid (about 3 per cent.) which
they contain. Vast quantitias which go
to waste every year, where hogs aro not
fed in the woods, might be gathered by
boys and converted into alcohol for uso
in the arts, thus freeing an equivalent
amount of grain for ue as food.
Considerable progress is being made
in reviving the mining industries of tho
Isthmus of Panama. For many ears
its mines exeited the ouptdity of Span
iards and buccanpers. Indian and ne
gro slaves were made to work iu quart,
and placer bv the most primitive proc
esses, and almost entirely without ma
chinery, but their labors were very pro
ductive, according to tradition. It is
centuries, however, since most of the
mines were abandoned. Some were
worked O'tt, others were uot rich enough
to pay with hired labor, and all required
an investment of capital which the un
settled condition of the country, and
especially the fear all foreigners enter
' amed for isthmus fever, effectually pre
vented from being made. .V. Y. Sun.

Water Finders.
One of those individuals who poses
what used to be called an impossible
power of detecting water beneath the
surface by the turning of a forked witch
hazel or apple-tree twig in his hands
when passing over the locality where
water was desired has made his appear
ance on Cape Cod. A Frovincetown
man says that the "water finder" is
quite old and nearly blind. He locates
water for well-diggers, or pretends to,
simplvby moving about over the surface
with his eye totally blinded. He pre
tends to give also about the number of
feet below the surface at which the wa
ter will be found. It is said that the
old water finder is a farmer and a lime
burner; also, that he ha" been employed
at Beverly and Newport at 8 per day
this season, and succeed"d in Inciting
water; also, that he succeeded in de
tecting the presence of metals." Inves
tigation shows that a person somewhat
answering this description ha3 been
quite successful in locating water veins
this season along the line of the Eastern
Railroad, and that there are others in
New England who have fully shown
themselves posse sed of the .same "pow
er of divination." In upper New Hamp
shire wells are often located by such
means. Dayton HeraVl.
