Scientific Exploration of the
Mammoth Cave.

At the close of the meeting ol
the : American Association for the
Advancement of Science, at India
napolis, an excursion was made to
the Mammoth Cave, Ky. The result
is told by Prof. McChesney who
says that Prof. Cope collected Ia
different specimens of the animals
that inhabit the cave-the blind
fish, insects, crickets, centipedes,
spiders, blind crawfish and crawfish
that can see, and blind fish that
the cawfish eat. The crickets and
spiders occur in considerable abun-
dance, but most of the forms of life
are quite rare. The blind fish are
not abundant, and as shy as though
they had eyes: they dart of from
the slightest movement in the water.
The best way to capture them is
to let fine dip-net down gently in
to the water till one swims over it,
and then raise the net as quietly as
possible. Small bats were occasion
ally seen fitting. These little crea
lures have eyes, but they are said
to be no larger than the head of a
cambria needle.
1t is too evident to need discus
sion that the Mammoth Cave was
the work of a subterranean river and
it's tributaries, the water%hich has
been turned from its course by find
ing an outlet on a slightly lower
level, which still shows itself in a
few places in the cave.

Thresh your Grain Early,

After your Fall work is in, and
work generally completed for the
Summer, commence to thresh- out
your grain grown this (season. By
doing so, you will undoubtedly save
o1e-fifteenth of the crop-it may be
much more. Bad weather in the
late Fall and early Winter, may ruin
much of it; rats and mice win al
ways have their share; the house
fowls and wild birds all come in for
a portion, and in the end the farmer
loses many dollars by keeping grain
IN stack through the Winter. Thresh
and put away in bins, proof against
your enemies, and then hold it for
prices if you are able; but always
sell when good remunerative price
is offered.

New Sorrel: Theory.

In communication to the Ger
mantown Telegraph, Mr.. Josiah
Clark, of Manchester, N. H. says:
Sorrel is not, as is generally sup
posed, the result of sour soil, but
the reverse. Observing years ago
that sorrel was more abundant on
sweet than sour soil, / hauled ap-
pie pomace on a piece where nothing
but sorrel grew, and narrowed it
and put grass seed in. The result
was, sorrel disappeared and grass
came in its stead. Anything that
tends to sour, with! fertile matter
added, will work a cure just as a1-
kali rectifies the acidity in the stom
ach. The sour waste of breweries,
coarse, wet, sour litter, vinegarsor
anything that is sour, worked into
the surface of the soil will tend to
SOrrel.

Every Tooth worth a Diamond

Feats of strength performed with
the teeth are absurd; those who in
dulge in them ought to be punished
like that youth who, says DIR. LIE
martie, broke all his front teeth, who
bet that he would throw over his
his head a char, which he held in
his teeth by the upper part of the
k-board to achieve that noble
feat. Another fellow, more impru
dent, caused himself to be lifted up
from the ground to a window by
means of a rope, which he held in
his teeth. When he reached a GER
tain height he lost his four incisors,
and broke one of his legs in the fall.
Some others, says the Doctor, find
pleasure in grinding drinking glass
es between their teeth, and wound
ing their mouths previously by the
attempt. The loss of a tooth is a
real misfortune, since it cannot be
repaired. A tooth is worth dia-
mond, says one of our authors. Re-
member these few words, and try to
put them in practice.-Herald Of
Health.

A Flower Garden in the Post.
Office Box.

We have received a neatly printed
Horticulture sheet of eight pages, en-
titled, The Family Garden, in which
are advertised an extensive variety
of choice flowers, grape vines, and
fruit bushes; all to be sent by mail
or express, at the purchasers ex-
pense, on receipt of the money.
Everything must be done, however,
through the N. Y. Postofiice. We
have made extensive inquiries for
the firm of Lawrence, Hastings &Co.,
florists and publishers of the paper.
Numerous inquiries have been sub
mitted, as to the street and number
where the articles are sold, and
where the respectable little sheet is
issued; but every page and notice
says, Address The Family Garden
or the firm mentioned above, (neith-
er of which can we find in the Di-
rectory) p. o. Box---,N.Y N. Y.

to get peep at some of the tube

| But on the fifth day, which was
the day of the funeral, there came 8
knock at the door of the lawyers
office, and there stood upon the
threshold woman, closely yelled,
end holding little boy by the hand.
MY husbands brother is buried

Great Heavens! That voice! 1t
seemed to Simon Smallpiece like the
peal of a sweet bell, ringing back to
him the sad changes over a half for
gotten world which had fallen from
the armament many long years ago.
He rose from his seat, trembling
with strange emotion.
Your little girl is quite safe,' he
said. Il shall have a proposition to
make to you in regard to her, after
to-day's sad ceremony is over. May
l ask your name?
Il think you know it, she said,
raising her veil.
'Oh, Nellie! My daughter Nellier
cried the old man, suddenly falling
down upon his knees before her.
May God forgive me for the wrong
l have done you and yours. Oh,
my child! be merciful to me, for l

Il have nothing to forgive, father
she said, assisting him to his feet.
Whatever there was between US has
been forgiven long..ago.'

Smallpiece's legacy was not better
than gold or silver since it brought
him a new heart?

A Milking Stool

A new idea, and a good one, is
advanced by j. 7. Scott, of Kansas:
Il make my milking stool of a board
or plank two and a half feet long
and eight inches wide, with two legs
in one end and one in the other.
The end with one leg is put under
the cow, to set the pail upon to keep
it out of the mud or Ldung,l and
bring it nearer the cows bag, while
you sit on the other end. This is a
great improvement on the common
short stools; and though a small
matter, is of considerable impor-
tance. Try it, andsyou will never
use another" --.

LOVES CHOICE.
WILLIAM WINTER.

The stroller in the pensive field
Doth many wildering glover decry:
Sometimes TO him the Roses yield,
Sometimes the lilies feed his eye;
Sometimes he takes delight in one,
Sometimes in all, sometimes in none.
But when, in dusky woodland ways,
He sees, beside some dreaming stone,
The fresh, untutored violet raise
Her pleading eyes for him alone,
Then makes his heart its final choice,
And nature speaks in passions voice.
The stroller beauty's garden through,
Bymany q wayward impulse led,
sometimes is charmed by gold and blue,
Sometimes by brown and mantling red
sometimes proud dame and maiden small
Please just the same, or not at all.
But when, remote from pleasures whirl,
He sees, at homes sequestered shrine,
The ardent, cheerful, guileleSs girl, -
or mortal mold, but soul divine
Too good, too beautiful to know
How fair her worth and beauty show.
Then all his rowing fancies pause,
Entranced by this Overwhelming grace;
1t rules him by celestial laws;
1t lights a plendor in his face.
'Tis the best good that Heaven can give:
lie wins it-and begins TO live.

Drying Apples and Peaches,

Select good, sound fruit, not over
ripe; pare them carefully, take the
cores or pits entirely out, and cut
in as thin slices as patience will al
low. Be very careful in thoroughly
drying them of bright color, and
the difference in the price obtained
over the rough cut, dark colored, and
not well-colored apples, will pay for
the time and trouble of so dong.
You can't make bright-colored
dried apple out oil mellow-ripe fruit,
and the light colored fruit will find q
quick market.

Four hundred calves were recently
shot out of one herd during the
drive from Texas to Kansas. This
wanton destruction of beef timber
was caused by a custom of shooting
the calf as soon as born in order to
allow the cows to be driven on. The
Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals should have accom-
panied the herd.

THE foregoing facts will show
why housewives who are not scru
pulously neat in performing every

and who undertake to keep their
cream and make butter in kitchen
where the atmosphere is frequently

arise from cooking various articles
of food, can make butter of prime
quality.-Ag. Ed. Of ". Y. o.

How easily Butter is Spoiled
IA Farmer's wife, writes

"a Farmers Wife" writes:
''Of all the products of the farm,
butter is most liable to be tainted
by noxious odors floating in the at
mosphere. Our people laid some
veal in the cellar, from which a lit
tie blood flowed out, and was neg
lected until it had commenced smell
ing Extensively. The result was,
that a jar of butter which l was
then packing,smelled and tasted like
spoiled beef"
Another lady reader of the "Ob-
server writes that, ''there was a pond
of filthy, stagnant water a few hun
dred feet from their house, from
which an offensive eff1uvium
would be borne ON the breeze,
directly to the milk-room, when the
wind was in a certain direction; the
result of which was that the cream
and butter would taste like the dis
agreeable odor coming from that
pond. AS soon as the pond was
dra ined, we had no more damaged
butter"
