Az INGENIOUs IYvESTIoE.-An inYen-
tive geniOus, DESTROYS of promoting the
domestic rearing of hens, has invented a
contrivance to keep them from scratching
up the garden. 1t is an instrument some
what resembling very long spur at
tached to the hind part of a hens leg
The instrument is so arranged that when
the hen is about to scratch the earth the
spur catches N the ground before her foot
has fairly descended, and obliges. her to
bring her foot down quietly and harmless
ly little in front Of the place she aims
at. She therenpon tries the other foot.
with like result, and keeps on trying.
until the machine has unconseously walk
ed her out of the garden. This will
be just thing when the chen fever"

A farmer in jackson county, Mich,
left some stalks of Sorghum uncut until
they were frozen hard. On boiling down
the juice from these. he found the syrup
to be clearer and 6ner than any he had
previously made, the juice apparently di-
vested of its coloring properties BY the
action of the frost. The juice when boil.
ed down to syrup, had the appearance Of
new strained honey, and was fully as
thick. He says: ut was clear as amber,
and the favor was more like honey than
anything / ever tasted before

A lady of Lugano, sitting near win

shock which was not followed by any
dangerous consequences; but flower
which happened to lie in the way of the

the rest Of her life. A sailor on board a
vessel in the harbor Of Zante having been

Why Cries CHOW WEsTwARDLN.A
The Academy of Sciences in Paris have
been investigating the causes which
almost invariably make the west end of
a city grow more. and become more
fashionable than the east. at arises
from the atmospheric pressure" answers
the Academy of Science, The wind
which causes the greatest ascension Of the
barometic column is that of the east. and
that winch lowers it most is the vest
When the latter blows. it has the conve-
nience of carrying with it to the eastern
parts of town all the deleterions gases
which it meets in its passage over the
western PARTS, and the inhabitants of the
eastern part of town have to support
not only their own smoke and miasma.
but those of the western part Of the town.
brought to them by the west winds
When, on the contrary, the east wind
blows, it puriies the air by causing to
ascend the pernicious carnations which
it cannot drive to the west. The deduc-
ton from this law is that the western part
of city is the best place of residence for
persons of delicate health, and that all
establishments from which emanate per-
nicious vapors and gases should be
placed to the east. There seems to be
good philosophy in these CONCLUSIONS

Reesc's Medical Gozette says: In any
case of burn or scald, however extensive,
all the acute suherings Of the patient may
be at once permanently relieved and that
in a moment of time, by sprinkling over
the injured surface, a thick layer of wheat

a dredging-box. Every vestige of pain
produced by such injuries is instantly
removed, and the sufferer not only escapes
the shock to the nervous system accom-
panying such torture, but will generally
fall into a quiet sleep the moment the
atmospheric temperature is thus excluded
