ARSENIC EATERs.-A French medical journ-
al has an article on the arsenic eaters of En-
rope. This poison, deadly in its effects, when
taken in large doses, is eaten in minute guam
titles by the peasants of Austria. particularly
females to increase their flesh and give round
ness to their limbs The practice of eating
arsenic also has the effect Of rendering them
more enduring and facilitates respiration in
mounting steep ascents. Arsenic is often add
ministered to horses in Vienna, by the grooms
and coachmen in the Austrian capital. They
mix a liberal pinch of the powder with oats
Or attach to the bride fragment of arsenic
as large as a pea, wrapped in linen, and when
the horse is harnessed the saliva dissolves the
poison. The glossy, round, and elegant ap
pearance of valuable horses in Vienna, and
especially the white foam about the mouth
are generally due to arsenic which, as is vel
known, increases salvation. 1t is also given
to cattle intended for fattening; but it is sale
not to increase their weight, though it adds tt
their size. The i'll effects of this poison d.
not manifest themselves till the practice o
using it is stopped, and then emaciation fol

SUGAR MANUFACTURE OF FRANcE.-France is
the largest producer of beet sugar in the world.
A favorable soil and climate and rural and
industrious population, contribute TO the sue
cussful prosecution of the beet sugar manu-
facturc. This manufacture originated during
the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. His con-
tinential system raised colonial produce to an
almost fabulous price. The high rates of su-
gars induced many to look around for the
means of producing sugar at home, and an
impetus was given to the search, by the offer
of magnificent premium by the emperor to
the successful discoverer Of permanent home
source of supply. Of all the pnats tried the
beet proved the most promising, but forty
years elapsed before the manufacture of beet
sugar was enabled to cope successfully with
colonial sugar. From France the culture
spread through Belgium, Germany, and far
into the interior of Russia, and now there is
produced of this kind of sugar on the cont.
nent of Europe three hundred and sixty mil
lions of pounds, nearly one-half of which is
manufactured in France in three hundred and
thirty-iour manufactures. In the vicinity Of
Lille the average yield of the sugar beet is
sixteen tons to the acre, and at Valeucennes
nnteen tons. In some localities twenty-five
tons are produced.

WASHING BUTTER WITH New M1LK.-A
writer in the Boston Cultiuator, over the sig
nature Of Many" says he finds in a French
work the following remark, and asks if any of
the butter-makers in this country have ever
tried it, and if so, with what result. The re-
mark is as follows: To procure butter of an
excellent flavor and extreme delicacy, it must
be washed finally with new milk. The cream
of the milk is incorporated with the butter,
and communicates to it its sweetness and deli
acy.-Ezchonge.
The practice Of washing butter with new
milk is not new, or common only to France !;
a large trade is carried on in and about Lon
don, in very choice fresh butter. The dealers
purchase, in the country, butter that has been
sailed, but is otherwise sweet. This is chuned
in sweet new milk, and comes out in due time
a very delicious article, which is sold daily
at very high figure. 1t is capital pro.
cess for renovating old butter.-Rurat New.

plants, If genuine. between which there can be
no choice, only that the shoots should be ,ceH
ripencd. They may be cut during March or
April, or at any time the buds commence to
swell, Indicating the approach offspring. They
may be kept till wanted in moist cellar,
partly imbedded in sand. I4s544la
There are only two forms practiced in ordi-
nary grating, viz. Stock grating, and whip
or tongue grating The former is adopted
for large trees, where the stock is more than
tbree-fourths Of an inch in diameter. The
latter is applicable only to Seeding stocks, and
small trees The stock and scion ought to be
about the same size, that the cut may unite on
both sides but it is nearly as we'll if the point
of union be only on one side, when stock,
two or even three times the diameter OF the
scion, may be worked in this manner.
The season for grating is during March and
April, and in some localities it may be deferred
til May as general rule, however, it should
be done as the buds begin to swell, and several
days before they will expand. The cherry is
one of tho first trees that shows the approach
of spring, and therefore should be grated first
then plums,, pears and apples.
When scions are kept fresh and in good
condition we have had considerable success
when in leaf or in bloom. This may DO ac.
complished sometimes with such easy growing
sorts as apples and pears. and often with
plums, but with cherries never. The compo-
stion for grating is about equal parts OF
beeswax and tallow, and double the quantity
Of rosin, into which, when melted, dip narrow
strips of cotton cloth or calico. q
As a general rule scions should be grated
upon their own kind, as apples upon apples.
pears upon pears, except when some specific
object is wished to be obtained. All expert
ments in graftirg the pear upon apple trees,
on mountain ash, OH the orange ounce which
grows so freely in our gardens will fail, CIV
ing the cultivator no reward for his pains.
The apricot upon the plum stock is an excep-
ton, which however, can not be successfully
grated, unless piece of old wood say three
tourths of an inch, is attached to the SCION
Gencssee Farmer.

SWALLOWING A BAR OF LEAD--DrFFICULT
SURGICAL opRRArIoN.-A Walpole, Iowa, pa
per says that on Christmas day, man named
Bates, while performing the exploit of stick
ing bar of lead down his throat, let 20 his
hold. and it descended into his stomach. The
physician of the place, not knowing but Bates
was trying to hoax them, made a slight exam
ination the time, inasmuch as he had made
but little ado about it, and at times denied
having swallowed the lead at all. A few days
after, the victim having swallowed come acid
substance, the lead began to corrode, and he
became very sick The physicians were then
called in and it was soon found that every
attempt to extract the lead would be unavail-
ing, save opening the stomach. This being
resolved upon, some five or six physicians were
called in and the operation of opening the
stomach and removing the lead was success
fully performed. The bar was about eleven
inches in length, and about one-half the length
showed the action of the acid upon it. The
patient, at last accounts, was getting along
finely, with prospect Of speedy recovery
the Inflammation caused from the lead, while
in the stomach, being regarded as the greatest
difficulty to contend with.

AN EsQUIMAUx CONCERT.

1t is one OF the consequences inseperable
from music, as an universal language or gen.
eral appeal to the human heart, that in vari.
GUS modes and degrees it should be exercised
and felt by every description of mankind.
That the frozen waters Of the Attic Circle are
not any more than the Torid Zone, denied Its
enjoyment, is manifested by an incident in
Captain Parry's second voyage in search of
northwest passage. Captain G. F. Lyon, of
the Hecla, describing the various occurrences
which took place while the ships were laid up
in their winter quarters, gives the following
particulars of musical performance on board

concert, in which Eve ladies and gentleman
performed. Their tunes we're extremely mon
otonous, but sung in good time. One partic-
ular tune is most commonly used, but as
almost every person has tune of his own, of
course, each wife sings her husbands fayorite
air, unless ii. company, when all sing. Oko-
took, the man, uncovered his head while sing

Much is written in every horticultural

THE FAMOUS VICTORY.
It was summers evening.
Old Gssper's work was done,
And he before bis cottage door
Wassitsing IN the sun
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild wihelmine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
That he beside the rivulet
In playing there had found;
She came to sec what he had found
That was SO light and large and round,
Old Casper took it from the boy,
Who stood expectant by,
And then the old man shook his head
Add hsaved nas'ral sigh,
"'Tis some poor fellows SKULL" said he,
''Who fell in that great victory.
81 find them in the garden, for
Theirs many hcreabout;
And often when 60 to plough,
The ploughshare turns them out;
For many thousand men," said he,
"Were slain in that great victory"
SNOW tell me what twas all about"
Young Peterkin he cries;
And little wilhelmine looked up,
With wonder-waiting eyesi
TNow tell US all about the war,
And what they killed each other for"
at was the English" Casper cried,
That put the French orout,
But what they killed each other for
could not well make out,
But every body said" quoth he,
at was n famous victory
"They saw it was shocking sight
After the field was won;
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun
But things like these you know must be
After famous victory"
"arcat praise The duke Of Marlboro won,
And our good prince Eugine-"
uWhy twas very wicked thing"
Said little Wilhclmine
"Nay, nay, my little GIRL" quot he
at was famous victory !"
"And everybody praised the duke,
Who such fight did vim
"But what good came of it at last !'
Said little Peterkn
"why that I cannot tell" .quoth he,
