The North Western Farmer gives the
following profitable suggestions:
Every observing farmer must have no.
ticed that all manure, when exposed to
the action of the atmosphere, suddenly
changes its complexion. This change
Indicates physical deterioration of the
mass produced by the yOlatiliZatiOn of
certain principles scOntainedin the mass,
and upon which the value of the same
depends. The ammonia and carbOnic
acid generated by the decomposition are
volatile, and readily escape if not pre-
vented by some substance which acts as
an absorbent and fiXer. Contact of the
air with all the decOmpOsing and putre-
scent substances, cOnduces to the rapid
deterioration of the same, and should
not be permitted. When it is neccessa-
ry to expose any article which it is con-
templated to use for manUrial purposes
to atmospheric action, it is well to COW
er them with loan or rich soil, or to
sprinkle them lierally with gypsum, pull
verified charcoal, or water in which cop
peras has been dissolved.
Either of these, if timely applied, and
in sufficient quantity, will effect valu- /
able saving. Every farmer should be |
provided with a shed, covered pit, eel |
lar, or some other convenience for mani I
UfaCtUTing and preserving manure. Such /
an arrangement enables the farmer to /
save the most valuable parts of the solid !
and liquid weddings of his domestic ami [
mails. All the refuse matter which ac- /
cumulates about the house, barns, and /
other Out-bUildings, as well as a vast |
of formulated material from the fields /
and woodlands, may here be. worked to !
Il great advantage. Muck, mold, chip /
manure, forest scrapings, leaves and /
other plants, MOSES, leather, chips, rags,
the stale from various domestic fowls,
soap sUdS, waste animal flesh, chips .
from the shoe mandatory, saw dust, (
spent tan, and the dust from the comb .
are all capable of being CONVEX /
ted into the food of plants, and of con-
tributing to the support and sUstenance F..
of crops.
By mixing them with the excrementI /
ofhOrned animals, horses, sheep, swine, I
they soon resolve themselves into a /
highly formulating aliment, which acts .
favOTably upon every variety Of crop, .
and beneficially to every description Of /
soil.
1t has been computed by practical
men that one cord Of manure, manufaC-
tured in this way and saturated with
the urine of the animals, is worth one
third more than when made i'll the or
binary way, and exposed unprotected to
the air. Many farmers are sadly Temiss

Learn Young,

There are few men of middle age who
have not had occasion to regret that they
did not aQuire this or that valuable
knowledge when they were young.
They feel the need of it now, but they
have no time to learn it. It is hard for
a middle-aged man of business to be-
come a student again. The task requires
q leisure, a seclusiOn, and an abstraction,
which he cannot afford to accord to it.
The demands of business are imperiOUs
and peremptOry, and when uttered
must be obeyed on the instant. The
world is laundering on in this year of
grace as it never went before. It barely
allows a man time to read the newspa-
perB, and even that must be done in the
way of business, and as a matter Ofduty.
For a man in active life to withdraw
for a few hours day to study books,
as he did at school, would be like inn
muring himself in a sepulcher, and
treated by the stirring world of bus
mess as dead man. Once fairly en-
barked in business, he will have to
make the stock of education acquired
uD to that time, "dO,U for he will
have no chance to increase it. The
world needs him, and claims him; and
if he intends to live in the world and for
the world, he must acknowledge the
claim ana go 10 WOfk, WILn all MS
might, with the tools and materials he
has, He may wish to read systematic
course OfhistOry, or to possess a thorough
knowledge of engineering, astronomy or
geology which he neglected inhis youth,
and which he feels the need of now in
business and in society. But unless he
possess uncommon resolution and dis
cipline, he will find it impossible to
gain the coveted treasures.
Let young people learn, then, while
/ they arc young. All that they are ever
/ to know of history, the languages or the
/ practicle sciences, must be learned be-
| fore they are twenty-fve-pTObably be-
| fore they are twenty. They can learn
nothing of these great subjects that will
not be useful in life; they can neglect
nothing that they will not feel the need

A New Sea-TorPedo'

y new sea-torpedo, invented by COM
mander Frederick Harvey, Of the Brit
iSh navy, has been successfully tried i'm
England. The machine is described as
follows: "ThC torpedo consists of
wooden box CiTOn bOund), inside Of
which is a metal ease containing the
charge, which may be gunpowder or any
more violent explosive. The charge is
exploded by metal bolt containing
which are fired by the me-
chanical pressure of the bolt upon pin
or anvil, the pressure being brought ON
by the contact of levers against the en-
cmV's ships side. These levers are two
in number, one projecting upward from
the top of the torpedo the other from the
side, So that in whatever direction the
contact is brought about by towing of
the torpedo, in passing, meeting, or
crossing the ship attacked, the explosion
shall certainly be effected. The safety
arrangements of these tOrpedOes have
been exceedingly we'll cared for. The
The tOrpcdOcs themselves, diveSted Of
their exploding bolts, are no more than
ordinary eases of powder, and can be-
slowed away with perfect safety and
with convenience in the magazines.

False Hair.

There are four varieties of false hair, viz
The chignon or waterfall, wigs, curls and
switches.
The chignon is made of a " ire frame
| network, stuffed with short hair or other
material. 1t costs from one to thirty dol
lars according to style and quality.
False curls are greatly in demand, either
singly or in mass. They are composed OF
real hair, artifcially curled, and initiate
nature to wonderful degree of perfection.
A single curl costs from six to twenty dol
lars. A good head of curly hair of the
reigning hue costs about one hundred and
fifty dollars.
Rolls or puffs are composed of hors
hair, or short-clipped human hair, rolled
and compressed together, over which the
rest of the hair is displayed. The cost OF
rolls or pufs varies from twenty-five to
| fifty cents apiece and upward. Switches
are composed Of short hair plated togeth-
er, or of string of hair as long as the
| length of the longest threads Of the human
hair, and cost full sets) from five to one
hundred dollars, according to the thickness
and depth.
Fashionable women are in the habit OF
shaving and clipping the little hair around
their forehead, so as to give the hair in
front a pointed appearance. The p0lLdre
subtle, for uprooting the superfuous hair,
costs one dollar bottle, while noir peIoutts
with three pencils Of various thicknesses
for the eyebrows, can be procured for two
dollars and half. For the eyes, our New
York belle uses blledonna, to give the up
per part of the face languishing, half-sen-

this same look costs two dollars and a half

times this substance is dropped into the

organ an eager and expressive look.-N,

exerted a powerful influence on the genius

of natural beauty, his imagination found
its proper field and aliment; and if poetry
