went to war, leaving a wife and two
children. He was given up for dead,

talked the matter over. and it was left
for the woman to decide whose wife she

her "Philip Ray" took his children,

The Sun.Spots.

The following oppears in the London
Morning Star:
''The sun for some time past has
been IN a condition of considerable
quietude; few spots have been. on its
surface; but at the present time spots
of considerable magnitude are travers-
ing its disk. To-day, TUESDAY, Oct.
3d. examined the disc. of the sun, and
observed, passing off tine western limb,
a very large, extremely well defined and
very symmetrical spot. The nucleus
was large and intensely black, and the
penumbra formed well marked border
of considerable breadth. / estimate
roughly that the diameter of the nu-
cleus was thirty thousand miles, and
that of the penumbra fifty thou
sand miles. / never saw a single
unbroken suR spot so large, bold
and well defiued. On the opposite, or
eastern limb. another large spot was
making its appearance, and the lumin-
GUS photOsphere of the sun near it had
that peculiar frilled or puffed appear
ance which ofteneharacteIizes it when
large spot is either entering upon or
passing off its visible surface. The
p luminous matter round the spot pres
ented the appearance of rolling and I'M
dulating pillows.
rI do not believe that those spots
which are occasionally, as in this in-
stance, tolerably permanent, are at all
compatible with the modern theory of
combustion on the sun, or indeed with
any theory, electrical, incsndescent,
conclusive, meteoric, or otherwise, that
has yet been suggested,

Observation-Disclosures.

There is one branch of agricultural
economy that seems to have been
strangely neglected by many even of our
best farmers; mean the manufacture
and repair OF the ordinary tools and i'm
plements in use on the farm Every
day experience teaches that a farmers
tools, owing to necessary exposure to
the weather, and the extraordinary wear
and tear to which they are frequently
subject, are liable to have broken or
worn out some necessary part which
must be Immediately repaired, or the
work in hand be abandoned Now, as
all purely agricultural labor, if we'll done,
must be done in its proper season, it fol-
lows that every serious delay in such la
Dor will result in direct peeuniary loss
To make this loss small as possible, ev-
cry farmer should be prepared to repair,
promptly, the little breakages, &c, that
are constantly occurring on the farm
This is not difficult; almost every man
possesses by nature sort of mechanical
ingenuity, which. united with a little
practice with tools, will enable him to
save much time and money in the cult
vation of his farm. 1t is true that there
are many farmers whose whole stock
of mechanics tools consists OF. perhaps,
an old hammer and saw of the
cheapest kind, and in the worst possible
condition at that and their skill is emily
on par with their tools. Indeed
know of owners of large farms who are
not the proprietors of either saw or ham
mer, but make an axe do the duty of one,
aud cobble stone answer the purpose of
the other. Such a state of things is not
only poor economy, but is absolutely de-
meralizing. Every farmer should be a
sort of mechanic Let him buy few of
the most necessary tools at first, and then
others, as he feels the need of them
Skill will follow use. 1t is altogether
too expensive to buy every axe helve,
filail, pitch fork handle, white tree, or
neck yoke that may wear out or chance
to break; and altogether too vexatious and
wasteful to go to the village" and
spend half days time, and a dollar
or two in money for repairing some tool
that might as we'll have been repaired at
home.
A corner in the barn or shed may be
appropriated for shop, bench and vice
erected, and few tools purchased
most needful at frst-and the economy
of the plan of being your own mechanic
will be demonstl ated the first time you
mend one of your own tools. ACORN.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AY JEALOUS
HUsBAND.-A singular and inexplicable
case of attempted murder has just oc-
Cured at Chicago. 1t appears that a
fair looking young physician, named
Miller, an only boarder in private
house, was left with its mistress by the
proprietor for several days. Gu the re-
turn of the latter he suspected the inf
deity of his wife, and DR.. Miller becom-
ing alarmed tor his safety, proposed to
leave. AS he was bidding the family
goodbye the iuturiated husband inhict-
ed dangerous wound on his head with
tiat iron, from the effect Of which he
now lies in semi-unconscious state,
now and then uttering few incoherent
words that give no cine to the author OF
his sad condition. The police are still
engaged in ferreting ont the Jealous

Remedy for Kicking Cows.

Cows, says 4 cotemporary, seldom
kick without some good reason for it,
Teats are sometimes chapped or the nd
der tender; harsh handling hurt them,
and they kick. Sometimes long and
sharp finger nails cut their teats and
sometimes the mixer pulls the long
hairs on the udder while milking Shear
off the long hairs, cut long finger nails
close, battle chapped teats with warm
water, and grease them we'll with lard,
and always treat COW gently. She
will never kick unless something hurts
her, or she fears repitition of former
hurts. When handled gently, cows like
to be milked. When treated otherwise,
they will kick and hold up their milk.
1t is quite as consistent to whip a sick
child to stop its crying as to whip or
kick COW to prevent her kicking while
being milked.
