An English writer, talking OF railway men, and
OF their liability to get coal and coke dusk in their
eyes, says they become very clever at removing
these particles. He gives four modes practced.
One is, in the case of dust, grasp the upper eye
ashes and lift the lid by these and bring 1t down

Of pin in a white handkerchief two or three
tbicknesses, and then, lifting the lid, insert the
"dolly" thus made, and draw il along the inferior
and over the ball Of the eye. The third, at which
many rsilwsymen are very expert. is TO turn the
lid quite back, and with a pen-knife lengthwise

is to get some one to pass bis or her tongue over

Water for Mich Cows.

FROM observation we have long been
satisfied that plenty Of water is not only
very essential to the health of mich COWS,
as it is indeed to that of all animals, but it
contributes largely to the flow of milk.
We found that by inviting cows to drink
large quantities of water, the quantity of
milk yielded by them could be increased
several quarts per day, without materially
injuring its quality; and that the milk OBJ
tanned is approximately proportioned to
the quantity of water drank. Cows which,
when Stalled with dry fodder, gave only
from nine to twelve quarts of milk per
day, at once produced from twelve to four
teen quarts daily when their food was
moistened by mixing with it from eighteen
to twenty three quarts of water per day.
Besides the water taken with the food,
the animals were allowed to drink at the
same intervals as before, and their thirst
was excited by adding to the fodder a
small quantity of salt. The milk produced
under the water regimen, after having
been carefully analysed and examined as
to its chemical and physical qualities, was
adjudged to be of good quality, and excel
lent butter was obtained from it.-C0r.

Every Violation

OF the laws of health invariably entails Its own
punishment and the warnings administered by
the faithful monitor (pain) cannot be neglected
with impunity If its admonitions were needed,
and the proper remedy Immediately resorted to, a
vast amount of suffering would be prevented, ana
dangerous diseases averted. When the mead
throbs, the lips become parched, and the cheek Is
burning-the warning is given; neglect is then
dangerous. In the vast storehouse OF nature may
be found remedies for all the different malaales
that afiict mankind, without resorting TO per-
nicious minerals. The best of these medicinal
agents have been incorporated in the preparation
known as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTER'S,
and offered as a safe remedy to those suffering
from the various forms of fever. This medicine
has steadily and surely won its way into the con-
fdence of the public, and has received the warm
est encomiums from the press and people through
out the Union. AS a valuable tonic for the cure OF
Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Constipation, and general
nervous debility, it cannot be approached. Every
day, new cases of its great effect are chronicled
through our public journals. There is nothing
eqal to the enjoyment which the afflicted expert
ence when using this valuable specific Its mild
tone, its sure and vigorous action upon disor-
dered stomach, and the cleansing of the entire
human body, should recommend it to all classes
of our community

Education i'm Household Duties.

In these days, when so much is said, both
justly and unjustly, in regard to the use
less education and frivolous lives of many
OF our young women, the careful and judi
cious mother, in every station of life, will
think seriously how she can best train her
young daughters to practical knowledge
OF those things which will most contribute
to their usefulness and happiness. Mental
and moral education, knowledge of books
and accomplishments, of household duties,
and of the world at large, are to be COM
bined in such proportions as circumstances
render suitable and possible. A young girl
may have special taste or capacity which
she should be encouraged to develop, but
not to the exclusion of all other branches
OF education. And though, while nnder
ene mothers eye perfectness may not be
a;etained in any department, wise train

Corn Fodder.

IT is now an established fact that the
sowing of corn for fodder during the sum
mer is benefit. Itfails in no cases, unless
the corn, like other crops, is badly put in.
Sweet corn is the most highly recommend
ed, and may be raised to the amount of
seven and eight tons to the acre, enough
to "bait dozen cows, more or less, ac-
cording TO the season-for moist growing
season produces more grass, and drouth
(Which is the rule) requires more corn.
Sometimes corn becomes the main, and in
some cases, which viii happen in all locali-
ties, the only reliance. Thus there are
times when stock Of all kinds suffer for
the want of grass, but especially mich
COWS; these suffer not only in the loss of
milk, but flesh, thus uniting them for
winter and the following season. There
are but few seasons that we do not see
this state of things.
Now, corn sown for batting will as
efectually remedy this as though the
season had been one of the most favorable,
and even more SO, if thoroughly carried

Canine and Feline Jealousy.

A NEW YORK letter contains the follow
ing:
A striking case of jealousy in an animal
occurred last evening. We have a New
foundland dog, who has been a great ia
vorite in the house, and the recipient of
much attention. A few days ago we
brought home couple of "pointer" pups,
which became objects of great attraction
with young and old. The old Newfound-
land dog at once manifested great displeas-
ure on the pups making there appearance.
Whenever the juveniles have petted or
played with them he has growled and
looked as savage and morOse as could be,
and he has become an altogether changed
animal since their coming. Last evening,
while they were being caressed and
fondled by the juveniles, the jealous old
Newfoundland, with ferocious glare in
his eye, sliced the head of one of them in
his mouth, and crushed the life out of it
in @ moment. On relating the circum-
stance this morning to gentleman who
has had much experience with Newfound-
land dogs, | was surprised to be informed
that of all breeds of dogs they are the most
treacherous and jealous. They can never
bear to see any other dog receive atten-
tions, and will take most bitter dislike to
the bestower or recipient of such atten-
tons and cherish their dislike for a long
period. At the same time they combine
with this treachery and jealousy many
splendid qualities A friend tells me that
a cat which has been great favorite with
his children, and played with them con-
stantly, suddenly refused to have anything
more to do with them when he introduced
a little terrier into the house few days
ago. Now, ON coming home at night, the
cat flies at the dog the moment the door
is opened, and, having endeavored to
scratch or bite it, skulks away and remains
out of sight all the evening.

AGRICULTURAL ODE
By j. G. WHITTIER.

THIS day, two hundred years ago,
The wild grapes by the rivers side,
And tasteless ground-nut, trailing low,
The table of the woods supplied.
Unknown the apples red and gold,
The blushing tint Of peach and pear;
The mirror of the Power told
No tale of orchards ripe and rare.
Wild as the fruits he scorned to till,
These wales the idle Indian trod;
Nor knew the glad creative skill
The joy of him who tolls with God.
o, Painter of the fruits and flowers
We thank Thee for thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands of ours
In natures garden work with thine.
And thanks that from our daily need
The Joy of simple faith is born;
That he who smites the Summer weed,
May trust Thee for the Autumn corn.
Give fools their gold and knayes their power,
Let fortunes bubble rise and fall;
Who sows field, or trains flower,
Or plants tree, Is moro than all.
For he who blesses most is blessed;
And God and man own his worth
Who tolls to leave as his bequest,
An added beauty to the earth.
And, soon or late to all that sow,
The time Of harvest shall be given;
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall grow,
If not on earth, at least in Heaven.

out. Here are from six to ten tons raised
to the acre. Grass at best affords but
three, and the corn is not inferior to the
grass. Thus what crops of excellent fod-
der may be raised, both for summer use,
and for winter feed! We need but go at
it and doit; the most is to start.
Sow early enough to secure a good
growth by the time the drouth is to set in
Sow in May; and again in June and later
What remains over will make excellent
fodder. But, whether it is used for this OF
not, by all means let not this chance slip
by, to lay in for crop against the drouth,
which is the greatest hurt that can befall
stock in this climate, not excepting the
severity of winter. Once engaged in, ii
will never be relinquished.- RurdI World

A NEW idea of reptile has been devel-
oped. A future statesman in the Dear
born School, Chicago, over whose towy
head some eight summers haYe passed,
was being instructed in "object lessons
by his teacher, without the use of objects
as illustrations. A reptile had been de-
fined to him as "an animal that creeps. y
When asked for an example, he promptly
and proudly replied, " baby |"
THE Rev. F. p. Hood, in his new book,
" Ancient, Medieval, and Modern Preach
ing" gives an apt illustration on the folly
of using fine language: " A clergyman
was sent for, the other day. The man was
rather deaf to whom he was called. What
induced you to send for me 2 pompously
said the clergyman. Eh?' What in
duced you, he repeated, to send for me ?
What does he say?' said the man to his
wife He says, what the deuce did you
send for him for 2"
"IF civil word, or two, will render a
man happy" said French king, he
must be a wretch indeed, who will not
give them to him" If all superiors, or
rather if all mankind, would keep this in
view, how much happier would the world
be than it now isl A kind and courteous
disposition is like lighting another mans
