Age of the Cow.

The age of the COW is known by the teeth
and horns. This animal is furnished with
eight cutting teeth in the lower jaw; at the
age of ten months the two middle-most of
these fall out, and are replaced by others
that are not so white, but broader; at the
age Of sixteen months the tyo next milk
white teeth fall out likewise, and others
come up IL their room; thus. at the end Of
every six months, the creature loses and
gains, till at the age of three years all the
cutting teeth are renewed, and then they
are long, pretty white, and equal; but in
proportion as the animal advances In years,
they become irregular and black, their ine-
qualities become smoother, and the animal
less capable of chewing its food Thus the
cow often declines from this single cause;
for as it is obliged to eat a great deal to
support life, and as the smocthness of the
teeth makes the difficulty of chewing great,
sufficient quantity of food cannot be sur-
piled to the stomach. Thus the poor ami
NAL sinks in the midst of plenty, and every
year grows leaner and leaner, till it dies.
The horns are another and surer method
of determining the animals age. At three
years old, very slight external shell-coat-
ing falls off at the places where the horns
are about arising. At four years of age the
thickest near the head; at five the horns
become larger, and are marked around with
| the former years growth. Thus, while the
animal continues to live, the horns con-
tinue to lengthen, and every year new
ring is added at the root; SO that allowing
three years before their appearance, and
then reckoning the number of rings. We
have in both together, the animals age
exactly. y.-Prdirie Fdrmer.

Matrimonial Yagaries-MOre about the
Westchester County Model Husband.
From the New York Herald Feb T.

An extraordinary instance of complicated
matrimonial relations, occurred at Dobbs
Ferry, on the Hudson, appeared in the
Herald, few days since, In which were
portrayed facts in relation to a woman. who
after obtaining q separation from her hus-
band married his assistant, while the form
er head of the house consented to remain
as a boarder. This outrageous disregard
of the marriage obligation, coupled with
the indifference shown by q husband and
father to the wife of his bosom and the
mother of his children, has had fitting
termination-one in full accord with the,
perhaps, unprecedented strides in this in.
stance made toward the hideous goal OF
'free love.
1t will be remembered that the woman
(who is the wife of blacksmith J, after OBJ
tanning what purported to be q separation
from her husband. proceeded with her new
'.aifinity" to the residence of clergyman
in the village above named, and was then
and there united in matrimony with the
employee of her husband, and that the Lat.
ter offered no objection, but remained in
the family as q boarder.
The assistant, who had strangely become
| the husband of his employers wife, bore
the responsibility placed upon him fol
about week. when failing, it is said, tc
obtain the control of some property in pos.
session of his so-called wife. he deliberate
ly packed his trunk, and took passage on 9
Western bound train, making no secret o.
his intention to seek fresh fields and pas.
lures new" 1t is not stated that much op
position this unceremonious desertion wal
offered by the ''bride" of week, who a,
once transferred her first husband from thu
ignoble position of boarder to bis former
statue as husband and protector; and now
while the blacksmith's hammer continue,
to ring merriIy on his anvil, peace reigns a
his domestic hearth. 'Shoo, fly, dom
bodder me-"

A Novel Divorce Case.

Indianapolis correspondence Cincinnati Commercial
make mention of novel divorce. the
history of which came to my knowledge at
party, from the lips of an attorney con-
suited. Some ten days ago, said attorney
was applied to by a lady to procure a d.
vorce from her husband. When questioned
as to her reasons for the step, she was un-
able to state any particular grievance. She
just could not bear him, that was all, and
she could not and would not live under his
roof any longer. The lawyer, somewhat
puzzled, suggested ''incompatibility of
temper for q plea. but she insisted there
was no incompatibility of temper about it;
she could not bear him. He was good and
kind. but was disagreeable to her. That
was enough.
While yst the matter was fresh in his
mind, the attorney was startled at receiv-
ing visit from the husband in question,
who, after much circumlocution and great
apparent agitation, solicited his services to
procure him divorce. A mutual friend,
Attorney B. g bewilderment was fast be-
coming painful. Seeking for cause, he
was intrusted with a statement so identic-
ally the same as given by his wife, that he
suspected himself the victim of practical
joke.

When the mutual resolve became known
to the family relatives, there was hurried
council of war which resulted in a partial
reconciliation. But expressed hatred is
like fuel to the fame, and if Providence
does not mercifully interfere, the case will
yet come up in court. In justice to the
parties concerned. it is worth while to state
that neither one has q fancy to third per.
son. When interrogated on this point, the
answer of each was, "No more marriage
for me-"

Printing By Aid of Photography.

The following concerning a new method
of employing photography in preparing
surfaces, may be worthy of notice from
those taking an interest in photo-lithogra-
ply. The invention, made by Mr.. r. II.
Courtenay, of Clapham Junction, England,
consists in preparing eollodion or other
suitable solutions with silex which has
been precipitated and removed from liquor
of fints or water-glass The inventor COW
ers plate of glass with this mixture, and
takes a positive picture on 1t by the ordi-
nary method of Photographic copying
The positive is printed on to the surface of
q substance composed preferably of parch-
ment, size, sugar candy, gum, and chronic
acid; this substance is poured upon q plate
of glass and allowed to settle and become
dry before the positive is placed in the
printing frame with it.
This substance forms q matrix or mould
from which an electrotype can be taken.
The matrix with the composition above
mentioned upon it is we'll washed in order
to free it from the sensitive salts, ano thor
oughly drained; it is then immersed in q
solution of chloride of gold, after which it
is drained agl lin. 1t is then coated with a
solution of nitrate of silver and grape gu
gar, and immersed in solution of proto-
sulphate of iron and grape or candied su.
gar, by means of which the metallic salts
are decomposed into the film as we'll as on
the surface of it, thus rendering it imper-
vious q the action of the acid copper solu-
ton fIoiI which the copper printing sur
face is produced. The silver being one of
the best conductors, the deposit of copper
is instal taneous.

Commercial.
A most dastardly outrage was committed
here tonight. For several days past q Rev.
Mr.. White. of Jacksonville, Ill, has been
here delivering lectures on Romanism. To
night, his lecture at the Opera House was
on the secrets of the confessional There
have been continual threats of violence
made against the preacher by the Catholics
if he insisted on delivering this lecture. To
guard against this q strong force of police
were placed on duty at the entrance to the
Opera HoA1e, but notwithstanding this pre-
caution q large crowd of Irish Catholics
waited at the entrance of the Opera House
until the close of the lecture. When the
preacher made his appearance he was
greeted with loud cries of lynch the id
preacher" ''tar and feather him." and 9th.
er expressions. A large stone was also
thrown, striking him ON the shoulder. The
police then rushed in and drove the crowd
back. Guarded BY the police and q num-
Der of friends, Mr.. White proceeded to-
ward the Neil House, and when in front oi
Clark d Farmers store, some one propos-
ed cheer for the Catholics of Columbus,
and then threw large stone, which miss
ed the preacher, and went crashing through
the large plate glass show window of Clark
4 Farmer.
The police then dispersed the crowd, and
Mr.. White reached the Neil House in
safety. - +.
The German Catholics did not seem te
take any part in the melee.

INTERESTING OPERATION.
Transfu ion OF Blood Successfully
Performed Upon a Young lady.

The readers of this paper will remember
the report Of an interesting experiment OF
transfusiDg blood into the veins of a dog.
performed at Rush Medical College last
Wednesday by Drs. Freer and Hunt. The
carotid artery of the animal was severed
AID the blood allowed to run out until the
subject was apparently lifeless. An incis-
ion was then made in the jugular vein, and
the blood was injected back into the anil
malls system, with the effect Of restoring
him to life.
The account of this interesting expert
ment given to the Post was noticed by the
friends Of young lady in Iowa, and had
been for some time wasting away with dis
ease supposed to be consumption, and they
sent to DR.. Freer to come and make the
experiment of transfusing blood into her
system. DIR. Hunt, of the Faculty of the
Rush College, responded to the call, and
found the patient in q very low condition.
He proceeded to take some sixteen ounces
of blood from the arm OF. a young brother
of the girl and injected it into her veins.
The patient went into a comatose condi-
ton, anG it was found that still more
of the vital fluid was necessary. An.
other supply was therefore drawn
from sister of the invaiid and in
jected, and finally third supply from an
other brother, about ten years of age
thirty-six ounces of warm, living blood be-
ing thus conveyed into the system of the
young woman within few hours. The
event is not yet determined, though le
prospects of recovery are very hopeful, if
the lungs are not too nearly destroyed. If
the disease is only incipient, ii is thought
that life and health will be restored. This
experiment is the only one of the kind ever
attempted in the West, and is very rare
elsewhere, though it has been tried with
success. The result in this case will be
anxiously looked for, not only by the friends
of the patient, but by the scientific world
generally. - Chicago Post

Burning Oils and Fluids

The standard of Illuminating oil in this
city is ITO degrees Fahrenheit. All oil is
required to be inspected by Mr.. Hooley
and when he finds it below this standard
he condemns it.
Great care should be used in handling
oils.
In the first place, the lamp should be
properly made
The wick should fill the tube, and not be
so small as to allow the air to pass into the
tube.
The lamp should be filed and the wick
trimmed in the day time, at distance from
a flame. Oil has been known TO ignite ten
feet distant from blaze.
In handling lighted lamp, move it slow
ly, especially when lifting it up.
A lamp should be SO constructed as not
to be easily upset.
The custom of turning down" a coal oil
lamp in bed chamber is deleterious to
health, and should be abandoned. 1t is
better to turn the flame completely out and
have q match ready when light is wanted.
1t is very common for cooks and servants
to pour coal oil upon burning coal and weod
to increase the heat. This is dangerous
practice, and has resulted in several persons
in the city being severely burned.
