Sucking up Water from Sand.

Livingstone the African traveller, des-
cribes an ingenious method by which
the Africans obtain water in the desert
" The women tie a bunch of grass to one
end of reed about two feet long and in
sert it in hole dug as deep as the arm
will reach, then ram down the wet sand
firmly around it. Applying the mouth
to the free end Of the reed, they form a
vacuum in the grass beneath, in which
the water collects, and in a short time
rises to the mouth. 1t will be perceived
that this simple, but truly philosophical
and efectual method, might have been
applied in many cases, in different coun-
ties, where water was greatly needed, to
the saving Of life. 1t seems wonderful
that it should have been now first made
known to the world, and that it should
have been habitually practised in Africa,
probably for centuries. 1t seems wor-
thy of being particularly noticed, that it
may not be neglected from ignorance.
1t may be highly important to travellers
on our western deserts and prairies, in
some parts of which water is known 10
exist below the surface Working Far
mer.

Army, states that cases Of disease on the
dark side of an extensive barrack at St.
Petersburg, have been uniformly, for
many years, in the proportion Of three
to one, 10 those on the side exposed TO
strong and uniform light. Humboldt
has also remarked that, among bpeds,
the residents of South America, who
wear very little clothing-thus allowing
the cutaneous, as well as the orbital sur
faces, to receive free ray Of tighten
logged immunity from various diseases
which prevailed extensively among the
inhabitants of dark rooms and under

exposure TO solar light, is one of the
causes which render a summer Journey
through high northern attitudes so pecu-

Edwards has also remarked that persons
who live IN cellars and caves, or in very
dark and narrow streets are apt to pro-
duco de!ormed children and that men
who work in mines are liable to disease
and delormity.
Light, therefore, is condition Of vital
activity, and in view only of preserving
the sight of the horse, it is absolutely
necessary that while he is the habllant Of

BEANs.--As the reader sits down TO a
repast of pork aud beans. does be ever
think of the anclent belief attaching to
the beans? Old Pilny says beans con
tain the souls Of the dead = and Plu-
iarch tells US that they were held in
high esteem for invoking the muses.
When the ancents prepared a repast for
the dead, beans formed the principal
portion of it. The Romans used to throw
beans into the altar fires to exercise the
ghosts of the dead, and to pacify them.

WORTH TRYING-It is said to take
your seed corn from the lower end, or
the end next to the stock, that the crop
will ripen ten days sooner than if you
take the middle part of the ear and
that if you plant the middle part, it will
ripen ten days quicker than if you use
the top of the ear for seed, thus making
a difference of three weeks between the
seed from the lower end and the top Of
the ear-which is quite consideration
in climate like ours, where early frosts
occasionally injure our corn. In this
connection we may further observe that
in selecting your seed corn, it can be i'm
proved and made more prolific, by Sc
Letting the ears that ripen first, and by
taking the upper ear OF such as have
two ears on stalk-and this should be
done as soon as the grain becomes hard,
and before frost and then thoroughly
dried.
