The Boston Transcript tells story of the
remarkable recovery of diamond by gen.
tleman engaged in the lumber business in
Maine 1t says:
"In April of last year, while working on
his boom OF logs on one Of the streams of the
Kennebec, having Oh shirt, the stud-hole
worn large by service, he saw his sparkling
brilliant fall from his bosom, strike the log,
and glide quietly into the swift current below.
Determination to regain it it overpowered the
regret OF his mind. He kept his loss where
his stud should have benin his BOSOM
Sounding the depth of the water, he found it
to be about seven feet; he then decided to
wait till the summer drought should bring
the stream to its lowest ebb, and taking ac-
curate measurment OF the place, by the bear
lngs OF rocks and trees ON shore, allowing
eighteen inches for change of direction by
the current, he left his treasure to compete
with the dace and sinner, iu fascinating the
river mermaid, and returned to his Nassa-
chusetts home.
The September following, six months after
the loss, the river being then at its lowest
point Tor the season, the und aunted lumber.
man started for the diamond. The river full
OF logs, covering the place, had been sawed
and shipped, and now only few inches OF
water trickled over where the stud fell. He
took with him large tin colander, the holes
of which were of size to hold the prize, if
found. He had determined to work fort
night before giving up the gem as lost, and to
have all the river bottom go through his han
dy kitchen strainer. He made his first dip of
gravel and water, as nearly as he could calcti-
late, eighteen inches down the current from
where it struck the surface of the stream

FL. S. Giles of Charlemont, Mass, is build
ing a substantial barn this season, on the
most approved plan. 1t is 52x50, and stands
on ground slOping to the southeast. The
floor or driveway enters the north end on a
slight Iise, and all the room above the floor
level is for hay and storage of other crops.
The story below the floor, which is walled up
on the north side, is seven feet high, and con-
tains stable for cattle along the east side 81
feet long, and one for horses across the north
end 2S ieet long by twelve wide, with feed
ing floor through the middle, and a bay for
hay in the remainder of the west side about
36x15 feet wide. This bay will be filled from
the floor above, and when filled to the beams
will make solid NOW full 36x15 and 20 feet
deep. Under the whole barn is a cellar for
manure and hogs, walled on the east, north
and west sides, and open to the south. The
cattle will enter the stables from the yard
east of the barn, on level with the stable
floor, and the yard will be protected by a shed
across the north side of it. The horse stable
will be entered on the west side from the lev
ell of the house yard, and the feeding floor
from the same yard, through an alley between
the horse stable and barn. A shed for car
riages and harnesses, 1Sx20, to cover both
these entrances to the stable and feeding floor,
will complete the arrangement, and when
completed it will be one oil the most conven-
lent and substantial barns in Charlemont.
Persons who are intending to build barn,
will do we'll to take look at Mr.. Giles for a
model, both in arrangement and workman

Poisonous Fertilizers.


A correspondent calls attention to a source
of ill-health that we do not remember to
have noticed before. Speaking of preparing
animal manures by suphuric acid, he says:
Common oil OF vitrel is as far as | know,
the substance us I'd by all manufacturers; but
think none but the chemically pure acid
should be used. The common acid often con-
tains small quantity of lead and arsenic,
both OF which are known to be absorbed by
plants when presented to their roots.
DIR. Edmund Davy, professor OF agricultural
chemistry in the Royal Dublin Society, pub
lished paper in 1859, calling attention to
the danger of using manures containing ar
sen'c; yet there has not, up to the present
time, believe, been pure article of super
phosphate OF lime put in market. think

bited by law.

rogatory to science. In the ordinary SULPHUR

Gillian sulphur and condensed in platinum re-

makers do not afford even trace of this met.
al or any Of its saats. He who started this
probably read In some old book or journal,
that specimens of acid, prepared in England
some years ago from iron pyrites, were found
by DIR. Reeves, Mr.. Watson and others, to
contain arsenic, and hence seized hold OF the
idea of making sensational article on "poi-
sonous fertilizers" Such loose statements
are fraught with evil, and cannot be too Sc
verely condemned. 1t may be said that the
quantities of lead and arsenic found in the
worst specimens of commercial acid would
not have the slightest influence upon crops
when presented through the medium of SUI
perphosphates. Farmers and horticulturists
need have no fear of deleterous effects from
the use of any of the acids found in the mar
ket.- Journal of Chemistry.

CHEAP WASH FOR BUILDINGS Take

CHEAP WASH FOR BUILDINGS Take a
clean, water tight cask and put into it half a
bushel OF lime. Slack it by pouring water
over it boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity
to cover it five inches deep, and stir it brskly
till thoroughly slackened. When the lime
has be.n slackened, dissolve it in water, aud
add two pounds Of sulphate OF zinc and one
of common salt. These will cause the wash
to harden and prevent its cracking, which
gives an unseemly appearance to the work.
A beautiful cream color may be given to the
wash by adding three pounds of yellow ochre;
or good pearl or lead color, by the addition
OF lump of iron black. For fawn color add
four pounds lumber, one pound OF Indian red,
and one pound common lamp black. For
stone color add two pounds raw umber and
two pounds lamp black. When applied to
the outside of houses and to fences, it is rem
dered more durable by adding about pint of
sweet milk to a gallon of wash.-Scientifc
