the non-conducting object, dispensing and
bursting substances asunder IN every di-
rection, as il they had been charged with
gunpowder The stone pinnacle of church
IN Cornwall was struck by lightning. and
one fragment weighing three hundred lbs.
was hurled sixty yards to the southwark,
another four hundred yards to the north,
and a third to the southwest.
In 1888 the top-gallant mast of her Maj
Iesty's ship Rodney was literally cut into
chips by fash of lightning, the sea being
strewn with the fragments as if the carpen-
ters had been sweeping their shayings over
board. Sometimes, in striking tree OF
mast, the electric fluid viii slice it into long
shreds or filaments, so that il viii appear
ike a huge broom or bundle of laths.
Lightning bolts viii occasionally dash thro'
resisting objects by tearing great openings,
as In Cornish church, where apertures were
made in the solid wall of the belfrey four
teen inches deep, and as if cut out by art.
In other instances small holes are drilled,
which are surprising for their perfect circu-
larity of FORM Window panes have been
frequently pierced in this fashion, without
affecting the rest of the glass In forming
these apertures, a burr or projection is left
upon the edges.
Juvenile electricians are In the habit of
making holes in cards by passing discharg-
es through them, when burr or projection
viii be observed on both sides of the orifce.
Sometimes single discharge will produce
two holes In card, each puncture marked
by single burr. one on the upper and the
other on the under side of the card. In
some instances the results are such as to
suggest that flash may be split up into
several fiery filaments before it strikes an
object. In 1777 a weathercock of timed
copper was hurled by thunderbolt from
the top of church in Cremona, and, upon
inspection, was found to be pierced with
eighteen holes; In nine of them the burr
was conspicuous on one side, and in nine it
was equally prominent on the other, while
the slope Of the burr was identical in all.
Among the curiosites of lightning are what
is termed s.fulgurites'' or tubes, which the
lightning constructs when it falls upon 81
licious spot, by fusing the sand. They may
be called casts of thunderbolts. In some
hillocks of sand in Cumberland, England,
these hollow tubes have been found from
oie-fftieth to two inches in diameter, taper
ing perhaps to mere point. The entire
extent of the tubes may be thirty feet, but
they usually separate into numerous branch
es, and have the appearance of the skeleton
of an inverted tree. They are lined with
glass, as smooth and perfect as if it had
been made In glass-house.

Care of Hens and chiekens.

Every body who would enjoy the luxury
of eggs and chickens of his own producing,
should prepare at once, however cheaply, q
sheltered place, with two apartments, where
the hens may roost, lay and sit.
Boxes foot square, with straw, and sup
ported on separate stakes, answer well fol
the nests; and not only these, but the sup
ports for roosting, also, should avoid con-
tact with the house, in order to greater Sc
curity against lice, be whitewashed once or
twice during the season, the nests renewed
every month, and the boxes cleansed by
scalding. When sitting time comes, and
chickens are hatched, arrange to leave 40 or
so chickens in care of one hen, and thereaf-
ter keep in large airy coop, until they are
able to take care of themselves. II.

Agriculture.
The Cheddar Cheese.


This particular manufacture of cheese.
which has acquired considerable notoriety
for superior excellence; is made In the fol-
lowing manner:
As soon as the morning milking is over,
the milk is mixed with that of the previous
evening, and the whole is warmed to 80 deg.
by heating a small portion of the nights
milk. AS soon as it Is of the exact temper
ature, which is ascertained by the thermom-
eter and not by guess, pure, well-fiavored
trennet is added In the usual manner, and, the
whole allowed to stand one hour for coagu-
laion. Next gently break the curd and take
off a small quantity of whey, to be heated
in a tin vessel placed in water.
Bleak the curd carefully and minutely,
and add as much of the heated whey as
will rsise the temperature to 80 deg, leav-
ing it another hour, when few pailfuls of
the whey are heated so as to raise the whole
mass to 100 deg. Previous to pouring on
this latter, the curd is broken as carefully
as before, and the whole is actively stirred
to mix it Regularly, and not allow any por-
ton to become oyer-heated. After standing
half an hour, remove the whey by dipping
out the greater part of it from the top, and
drawing off the balance from the spigot at
the bottom,
When most of the whey is thus drawn
off, cut the curd from the sides of the tub
and heap it in the middle, where it should
remain an hour longer. The curd is next
cut in large slices, and turned over in the
center of the tub as before, leaving it to
drain for half an hour. After this interval,
it will be ripe for pressure, but must first
be cooled to IS deg. by breaking with the
handand placing on cooler. Having reach
ed the proper temperature, put it in one or
more rats (molds) J, and subject it to mod
crate pressure for fifteen or twenty minutes,
The next process consists in taking the
curd from the vat and passing it through
the curd-nill to break it finely, when it is
salted and made into a cheese: A pound OF
good salt is sufficient for fifty pounds of curd.
The cheese is now carefully put into the
press, where it remains till next morning,
when it is reversed in the vat, and another
cheese-cloth is put on it. The morning fol-
lowing, fine cotton cloth is used, to give it
a smooth surface, and it is again reversed in
the vat, and pressed twenty-four hours, after
which it is laid upon the shelf. When the
cheeses are taken from the press, they are
each placed in piece of canvas to preserve
their shape. At first, they should be turn
ed daily, but as they become frmer, they
require it less frequently. A temperature
of 55 deg. to IS deg. is regarded as the best
for rpening Cheddar cheese:

True Greatness.


Chief Justice Marshall was in the habit
of going to market himself and carrying
home his purchases. Frequently he would
be seen returning at sunrise, with poultry In
one hand and vegetables in the other. On
one occasion fashionable young man from
the North, who had recently removed to
Richmond, was swearing violently because
he could get no one to carry home his tur-
key.
Marshall stepped up, and. asking him
where he lived, said:
s'That is on my way VIII take it for
yeu."
When they came to the house, the young
man said:
.What shall I pay you?"
80, nothing" said the Chief Justice, sit
was on my way, and no trouble"
s.Who is that polite old gentleman who
brought home my turkey for me?" inquired
the young man of bystander.
s.That,' replied he. els John Marshall,
Chief. Justice of the United Siates''
"Why did he bring home my turkey?"
ssTo give you severe reprimand, and to
teach you to attend to your own business, y
was the reply.
True greatness never feels itself above do
ing anything that is useful; but especially
the truly great man viii never feel above
helping himself.

Melon Rups.

Uunder this general name we include any
and every insect, from the little black, al
most invisible nit, to the large, yellow stri-
ped bug. Each year we meet with some
new specific exterminator of these pests
Now, it is quassa, then it is decaying fish,
or swabs of turpentine, guano, sulphur and
pepper, SCOT and ashes, or thumb and fin
ger applied. To us, it always seemed that
the sitting of SCOT, ashes, snuff and pepper,
on the tender leaf. must injure the leaves,
and so the health of the plant. Boxes COW
cred with millinet have proved very service
able to us for several years. For the last
two seasons, we have used simpler contri-
vance, viz: thin sheet of white cotton
wadding laid over each hill of plants, and
confined at the corners with small stones
This allows the light. heat, air and moisture,
to reach the plants. but excludes the bugs
perfectly. AS the plants grow, the waddine
may be loosened little at each corner
