SEVENTEEN HUNDRED YEARS IN THE
OvEN.-One house adjacent had evidently
been in state of repair wien the volcanic
storm buried it, Painters, and decorators,
and cleaners were masters of the situa-
ton. The household goods were all in dis
order, and the family, if not out of town,
must be undergoing that condition of mis-
cry which spring and other like
miseries inevitably entail. Painters pots
and brushes and workmen's tools were
scattered about Tell-tae spots of white
wash starred wall and floor. Such domes-
tic instruments as pots and kettles had
been bundled up in corner all by them
selves, and the cook was nowhere. Din
ner, however, had not been forgotten. A
solitary pot stood simmering, if ever il
did simmer, on the stone. And, (start not
it is true), there was bronze dish in wait
ing before the oven, and on the dish suck

oven was already engaged with its full

had to wait. And it never entered the ov

OUR MoTHER.-Round the idea of ones
mother the mind of a man clings with
fond affection. 1t is the irst deep thought
stamped upon our infant hearts when yet
soft and capable of receiving the most pro-
found impressions, and the after feelings
of the world are more or less light in COM
parison. Even in our old age we look back
TO that feeling as the sweetest we have in
life. Our passions and our wilfulness may
lead us far from the object of our fiial
love; we learn even to pain her heart, OPP
pose her wishes, to violate her commands |;
we may become wild, headstrong and an
cry at her counsels or opposition; but
when death has stilled her monitory voice,
and nothing but still memory remains to
recapitulate her virtues and good deeds,
affection, like a flower beaten to the ground
by past storm, raises up her head and
smiles among her tears. Round the idea,
as we have said, the mind clings with fond
affection; and even when the early period
of our loss forces memory to be silent, fan
cy takes the place of remembrance, and
twines the image of dead parent with a
garland of graces and beauties, and vir-
tues, which we doubt not she possessed.

OCEAN BEDs.-At a recent meeting of the
Royal Geographical Society of England,
Capt. Sherard Osborn gave an accou mt of
our present knowledge of the configura-
ton of the bed of the ocean, as derived
from Admiralty surveys and Submarine
Telegraph expeditions during tho last Is
years. The first general feature pointed
out was the absence from the sea- bed of
those great and abrupt inequalities which
distinguish the surface of the land, and the
softer undulations and greater level were
attributed by the author chiefly to the
planning action of currents. So level is the
bottom of the Indian Ocean that Captain
Halpin, in laying the Indian cable, stated
that for hundreds Of miles there was no
variation in the dynamometer of the ca
ble's descent. Another fact was the proof
| of former erroneous estimates as to the
| great depth of the ocean. In the Atlantic
no depth had been found greater than 1000
fathoms, or IT 400 feet-little over 81 miles.
| 1t is true the Pacific remains to be sound
ed. Another experienced navigator said
that there were exceptional instances of
sudden variation in ocean depths. He had
somtimes found spread over the bottom ex-
| tremely rough hints, which he thought
would be dangerous to submarine cables.
| Many of the animals he had dred9ed up
| from great depths were amply provided
organs of sight, showing that light was
| there existent. The submarine cable of
tho Mediterranean was subject to the at
| tacks of boring animals, a molusc and a
crustacean.

A human body is diseased in every part.
A flag of distress is hung out in the form
of an ulcer at the ankle. Some ignorant

cries, "See, it is all goner'
The ulcer upon the ankle is driven from
that place by an ointment. Soon it appears
in the lungs. The doctor cannot get at il
there, with his ointment, and resorts to in.
halation. He is still determined to apply
the drug to the local manifestation.
Pulmonary consumption is not a disease
of the lungs. 1t first pervades every par
of every tissue of the entire organism. A
length it assumes local expression in tn,

This butter has almost a national reputa-
ton for excellence, and is sent in consider
able quantities to private parties at New
York and Washington for high prices. A
prominent manufacturer, living not far
from the city, gives Mr. Lyman, of one of
the agricultural papers of New York, some
particulars of the course and care of its
production. What he says is quito worthy
the attention of all dairymen and women

and as each skinner is put in the cream
pot, it is stirred in the pot, and the churn-
ing is done once aweek, summer and win
ter. Just before the butter gathers, a buck
ct of ice cold water is thrown into the
churn. This hardens the butter in the
small particles and makes a firm grain.
In working we get out all the buttermilk
without the use of the hand. A better
way is to absorb the drops with a linen
cloth wrung from cold water. The first
working removes all the milk, and in the
second we handle delicately with fingers
as cool as may be. Salt little less than
one ounce to the pound. The balls weigh
one pound each. On packing for market
each ball is wrapped in linen cloth with
the address of the marketman on it. The
most scrupulous neatness prevails through
out the process. Milk which upon leaving
the udder flies through the air loaded with
stable perfumes, will not make butter that
will sell for one dollar pound. No milk
sours upon the floor of the milk room or
in the crevices of the milk pans. The
Pennsylvania butter makers use cedar
tub for sending their butter to market. It
is made of plank two inches thick, and is
lined with tin, having projections for hold
ing little shelves on which the butter is
placed. There is a small ice chamber at
each end of the tub. Mr.. Lyman states
that there are thousand families in New
York city who would use 5000 pounds OF
this butter week, and to whom a price
above rs cents pound would not for a mo-
ment check their earnestness to buy.

Farm and FareSade.
TIKI CATTLE DEsR.sSR.

The disease which is destroying so many
valuable cattle in Berkshire county, is the
same as that described to the students of
Amherst College as charbon, by Prof. Law,
in his recent course of lectures upon vete-
rinary science. This pestilence first made
its appearance about two weeks after the
great October flood, in 1869, at Egremont,
Great harrington and adjoining towns. As
the cold weather came on the number of
cases decreased, and finally the plague dis
appeared but it broke out again last June,
and since that time many fine cattle have
died. Prof. Stockbridge visited Egremont
last year to note the symptoms of the ami
mails, and there can be no doubt of the iden-
tity of the disease. Charlton is closely al
lied to Texan fever. The virus seems to
increase in virulence upon exposure to the
air, but while that of the latter is killed by
the frost, that of the former retains its dead
ly properties for long time. The symp-
toms of the Texan fever are extreme dull
ness, high fever, tails pressed tight between
the legs, head hanging down with ears lop-
ped forward, dung hard and urine bloody.
The temperature of the blood is from 1929
nearly the same. There are alternate chills
and heat weaknesses, loss of sensibility,
etc. The animal will support its head
against the stall, and in various ways try
to relieve all strain upon the muscles. Dis
charges of blood flow from the natural
openings, and death usually ensues in from
3 to "a hours. In all cases we should pre-
vent the contact of diseased and healthy
animals. If the virus gets into the blood
of the human subject, there is no hope of
recovery.
A common form of the disease is that
known as malignant pustule. This is so
very contagious that people in England are
said to have repeatedly taken it, by hand
ling hair and hides which had been import
ed from Brazil. In man it makes its ap-
pearance as pimpe, which can easily be
removed, but if it be allowed to grow it
soon becomes greatly enlarged, blotches
come out on the skin, and the result is usu-
ally fatal. Charlton seems to be generated
in low, malarious districts, and heat has
tens its development. Young, growing,
vigorous animals are the most liable to be
attacked by this diease; the best of the
flock usually perish first. There is no cure
unless we call prevention a cure. Keep the
cattle on high, dry land, and stable the an
imals at night. Land which has a pervious
soil with an mpervious subsoil, so that the
water in the surface strata stagnates quick
ly, is favorable to the generation of this dis
ease. 1t is not considered as contagious
except the disease assumes its worst form,
when it is very easily transmitted from one
animal to another. Great care should be
taken in handling the dead carcasses, as a
very small amount of virus got into the
human system will prove fatal.-Amherst
Record.

WITHIN.


Outside OF the beautiful city
Was sorrow and weeping and pain;
within was the song Of the ransomed-
We caught but the sweet refrain.
outside was the gloom Of the darkness
Drifting down from the outer wall;
And over my grief-aden bosom
II swept like funeral pail.
All, all through that droary darkness
watched till my grief grew wild;
But a ray Of inner glory
Stole over the face Of my child.
And he aid from my grading bosom
And out from my arms Of love;-
knew they were calling him softly
To the beautiful city above.
sit in the dreamy twilight,
When the day and the evening meet;
And the shadows float into each other,
And list for his coming feet.
My heart beats loud in the silence
reach out arms Of love;
But know that dear arms enfold him
In the beautiful city above.
The stars come out with their glimmer,-
think OF the light within;
know in that light shall meet him,
Unshadowed with grief or sin.
