OF What Railway Dust Is Composed.

Mr.. JOSEPH SIDERoTHAH has made
microscopical examination of dust
blown into railway carriage near
Birmingham. He says:
81 spread paper on the seat Of the
carriage, near the open window, and
collected the dust that fell upon it
A rough examination of this, with
twO-thirds power, showed q large
portion of fragments of iron, and on
applying soft iron needle, found
that many of them were highly mag
netie. They were mostly long, thin,
and straight, the largest being about
l-l50th of an inch, and, under the
power used, had the appearance of a
quantity of old nails. ] then with q
magnet, separated the iron from the
the other particles.
"rhe weight, altogether, of the
dust collected was 81 grains, and the
proportion OF those particles com
posed wholly, or III part, of iron was
% grains, or more than One-half.
The iron thus separated consisted
chiefly of fused particles of drOss or
burned iron, like 'clinkers many
were more or less spherical, like
those brought TO our notice by Mr..
Dancer, from the fiue ola furnace,
but none so smooth; they were all
moro or less covered with spikes and
excrescences, some having long tails,
like the old prince Ruperts drops ;
there were also many small, angular
particles like cast iron, having crys-
taiine structure.
"The other portion of the dust con-
sisted largely of cinders, some very
bright angular fragments of glass or
quartz, few bits of yellow metal,
opaque, white, and spherical bodies,
grains of sand, a few bits of coal, etc.
after the examination of this dust,
| could easily understand why it is
produced such irritation the number
of angular, pointed and spiked pieces
Of iron, and the SeortnG, or clinkers,
being quite sufficient to account for
the unpleasant effect.
a. think it probable that the mag
netic strips of iron are lininS from
the rails and tires of the wheels, and
the other iron particles, portions of
fused metal, either from the coal or
from the furnace bars. The large
proportion of iron found in the dust
is probably owing to the metal being
heavier than the ordinary dust, and
accommodating in cuttings, such as
those between the two stations
named.

way through that district, ] should

t3cles, and a magnetic respiratOr in

Cultivated Patches along Railways.

1t is now no unusual thing to see
potatoes and other crops planted on
tho strips of land by the side of rail-
roads. When we reflect how much
land could be added TO the acres ell
ready under cultivation, by utilizing
these strips between the r0ad-bed and
the fences, the plan seems both eco
nOmic and desirable. Throughout
England, we learn from a correspon-
dent of one of the daily papers, gar
dens along the side of railways are
the rule instead Of the exception. The
space between the track and the fence
on both sides is either seeded down
to grass or laid out as q vegetable
garden, unless too steep to hold soil.
Often the name of the STATEN is mark
ed out on the band in coIored stones
or in towering plants or the letters
are cut of the sod and the borders SO
made are gay with flowers or green
with vegetables. If this plan were
more generally followed in this coun-
try, il would not only tend to the ben
eft CT railroad ienlployeS, but would
give pleasing variety to belts of land
which now are generally given over
to weeds or any wild plant which
will grow ON them.-C Canada Farmer.

The Barth Cure for Ulcers.

1 dried and pulverized some clay,
says a writer in TIE Country Gentle
man, and recommended 1t as valu-
able remedy to a neighbor woman
who had for ten years very bad ul-
Ger on her ankle. She had paid our
best physicians over 1850 for treat
ment, without any relief. She applied
the dry clay almost constantly for
about six months, and a perfect cure
was resulted. The first effect of the
preparation was to remove infiamma-
ton and remove pain, and now she
says there is no scar remaining, and
her limb, which was stiffand lame, is
as elastic as when she.was girl. The
woman is q very large, fleshy person,
about forty years of age. I consider
ed the test a very severe one, and the
result very satisfactory. About a
gallon of pulverized clay was used.

A Turkish Breakfast.

4 turkish breakfast comprises
about fifty dishes. Soon after the
frat dish comes lamb, roasted on the
spit, which must never he wanting at
any Turkish banquet. Then follow
dishes Of solid and liquid, sour and
sweet, in the order of which kind OF
recurring change is observed, to keep
the appetite alive. The pilau OF boil
eel rice is always the concluding dish.
The externals to such feat IS this
are: A great round plate Of metal,
with a plain edge, OF three feet in
diameter, is placed on q low frame,
and serves as a table, about which
five or six persons can repose on rugs.
The left hand must remain invisible;
il would be improper to expose II
while eating. The right hand is
alone permitted to be active. There
are no knives and forks. The table
IS decked with dishes, deep and
shallow, covered and uncovered;
these are continually being changed,
so that little can be eaten frsm them.
Some remain longer, as roast meat
cold milk, and geTkins, and are often
recarred to. Before and after dinner

Sciences in Agriculture.

A writer in the Western Rural
makes the following sensible re-
marks: 1.-THE sooner we throw away
the words Of Science Of Agriculture,
and substitute Science in Agriculture,
the sooner NE shall be on the high
road to scientific farming. It rests
upon all science, taking only a portion

other profession with but little
knowledge except that of mere art.
The moment he reaches after that
higher knowledge, 1t should be in
such directions as will enable him to
profit by it. The principles OF
science, and not the bare manipula-
lions of art is what he should attain,
but, as practical man, science, only
so far as 1t may bear upon, or can be
applied to his practical art"

Egyptian Maxims.

The Rev. DR. J. Thompson, in his
"Notes on EgyptOlogy" in the Bibli-

inas from the ancient Egyptians:
'tDo not take on airs.
''Do not maltreRt an inferior; re-

"Do notsave thy life at the expense
Of another's.
"Do not pervert the heart of thy

t'DO not maltreat q woman, whose
strength is less than thine own. Let
her find in thee q protector.

hast begotten is fool do not turn
away thy heart from him, for he Is
thy SON.

Farming in Japan.

The Hon. James Brooks writes
from Japan: proud as I I'm of the
arts, sciences, and marvellous doings
Of my own country, blush when I
compare American farming with this.
Here are the rice fields artificially
created, luxuriant in beauty now, ter
raced from hillside, up and down,
and watered by the hill streams, or
notlwaiere as the husbandman Wills.
There are barley fields and bean
fields, aud fields of all sorts of Japan
agricultural productions. Forests
cap all the hill-tops. Two crops are
raised in japan in one year, even on
the rice fields, where the first crop is
grain. The grain harvest is over in
April or May. The rains come on
June or July, aud now the new crops
are up, and the whole is one beauti-
full landscape of green"

Making a Fish-POnd.

f. 1. n. writes che has got good |
faeS ties for making fish-ponds, with |
abundant spring and swamp or
waite land, and that many farmers in |
his vicinity are in Ike condition"
There is no difficulty whatever in |
his having fsh-ponds, well stocked,
in 8 few years, If he will make the
ponds and put in the fish. 1t is not
expensive to make pond, wherever
there is 8 permanent brook flowing
through a hollow or swamp. Of
course, the size of the pond viii de-
pend somewhat upon the lay of the
land ard the quantity of water in the
stream. Sometimes fifty dollars spent
on q dam will flow fifty acres or
more. Often the ponds are already
made for reservoirs or milling pur-
poses, and are just az good for raising
fish as If they were constructed e1-
pressly for that purpose. If brook
is already stocked with trout, they
will multiply much faster with the
aid of q pond. Nothing need be
done but to stop fishing in the brook,
and let the trout multiply for three
or four years. They will increase
faster If you supplement natural by
artificial breeding. Ten thousand
young fry put into the brook every
spring, will help the stock very much.
You can raise the fry yourself, or buy
them, as suit your means and cOnVen-
fence. It!is merely question of dol
| lars and cents. In brooks and ponds,
stocked with other fish than trout,
we have no hesitation in recommend
ing the Black Bass (GTysteS 1ligrG-
| cans for all northern waters. This
fish has been thoroughly tested, in
many experiments, for over twenty
years, and is admitted by all sports
men to be unsurpassed as game-fish.
1t is many times more prolific than
| the trout, and will make fine fishing
| in less than half the time. 1t grows
| much more rapidly, and in three years
| from the egg you get one and two
| pound fish. In old ponds, where feed
is abundant, they are frequently TAX
| en- weighing from four to six pounds.
They will hold their own amid the
most destructive fresh-waters. Many
claim that the flesh is quite as good
as that of the trout and salmon. All
we claim for it is that it is an excel
lent table fish, good enough for any
| body. In any Well-stocked water it
! requires no feeding. The owner has
only to put in his adult Black Bass,
as they win take care of themselves,
and make money for him while he
sleeps. Scores OfpOnds in the north
ern and eastern States have been
stocked with this fish, aud we have
yet to hear of any dissatisfaction. We
know of one fOrty-acre pond, stocked
two years ego, that is now valued at
| $4,000, and it will probably pay the
| interest on that sum as long AS fish
run.-AmeTic0n AqTicuLturtst.

Crops and Prices.


From a careful revision of all that
we have seen, read and heard, we
gather that the crops throughout the
United States and Canada have been
in the main satisfactory, not TO say
abundant. The wheat crop has suf-
fered somewhaS from the drouth ear
ly in the season, and from the chinch-
bug in certain localities, and it is
doubtful if the large estimates of the
yield will be realized. Oats have been
an abundant crop generally, and corn,
although injured in some places by
q dry summer, will be greatly above
the average. In European countries,
with the exception OF France, where
the crop is seriously deficient, and in
England, where the wheat crop Is
undoubtedly below the average, q
good yield has been secured. We
may therefore expect that the foreign
demand, though 1t will probably be
good, will not be excessis e, and that
present prices may be maintained for
wheat and -four. As European pop
ulations cannot be induced to use
corn az an article of food, it would be
unwisU o look to them az a means for
dispOsing of the certain abundance of
this crop. But we find throughout
the Western States that hogs arc
abundant. These will furnish q
means of consuming large proper
ton of the excess, and as pork is very
low, a large demand will probably
arise which will ease the market of
the surplus. The great fire in Chica
90 has consumed q considerable
amount of the large stock on hand
there, Pork and corn, reacting in the
market very much on each other,
necessarily rise and fall together.
Any rise in pork, then, will favora-
bly, affect corn. Throughout south
ern Illinois and Missouri, the drouth
has seriously shortened the hay crop
and late pasturage, and generally
throughout the country hay is scarce.
In the East, the deficiency is partly
made up among the more thoughtful
and fOrehanded farmers by means of
other fodder crops, and though posi-
bly, others may have to get rid of a
portion of their stock, yet we do not
look for any necessary sacrifice of
values on that account. Kansas is
full of cheap cattle from Texas, and
drOvers are afraid of touching stock.

A Cure for Rheumatism.


AS so many are suffering with
rheumatism, / thought I could do
nothing better than to give them n
recipe that ] know is good. In the
spring and summer OF 1866, my wife
was so afflicted with it that she could
not use her right arm, and was una
bile to raise herself up in bed. We
tried many liniments, recipes and
medicines, but to no avail, Doctors
said nothing could be done, only to
give it time and let il wear itself
away. One day an old German Ven
teTinary Surgeon told me TO take
equal parts OF the best oil of juniper
and spirits of turpentine, and apply
il tothe parts affected. l did so, and
in few weeks the rheumatism had
entirely disappeared and my wife
was we'll.
A few weeks later, while at pic
mic, she caught cold and was soon as
low as ever. Again did we apply
everything we could get, galvanic
batteries and all. We got the above
recipa filed, both the oil and the
spirits being as clear rs pure water,
and in a few days she was again well
and has remained so for over two
wears. Always be sure and use only

A funny paragraph is on It's travels
about a girl in Vermont, who, having
sued her lover for breach of promise,
laid her damages as follows; Nine
shillings per week for ''setting up"
with costs of light and fuel added in.
We may laugh As much as We please
at this, but the girl is a sensible dam
sci, and we hope that she got a YER
diet. Bringing actions for damages
TO the feelings and injury tOathe heart,
and for the value Of pangs and deli
cate disappointments, is great deal
more mercenary than asking for
remuneration for loss of time and
even OF fires and lights. A sharp
girl has a perfect right to say that,
but for the wicked conduct Of the
dishonest swain, she might have
married somebody else; and lawyers,
when they go to the jury for the
swindled plaintiff, should put the
case in that way. It might spoil
their eloquent pathos; but, after all,
that sort Of thing has become hack
neyed and unimpressive. Business
is business, and most women in this
kind Of litigation mean business and
nothing else.
