and expresses himself as follows:
Passing on to Rock Island, We find the
Harper House one of the finest hotels in
the state; a building which even Chicago, in
her palmiest days, might envy. The street
cars running between this place and Moline
are decidedly an improvement, as buildings
are going up very rapid between the two
points, which will, eveatualy, and at no very
distant day, bring the two towns together.

From the Chicago Journal.

Every year-for the Colorado potato
bug has become perennial pest in this
climate-our exchange papers are recon-.
mending the celebrated "Paris green
paint, in its dry form, as a sovereign
remedy for the ravages of this annoying
and disgusting insect. Now the basis OF
"Paris green" is arsenic, and, if posi-
BILE, more poisonous and destructive
than the bug itself; and we advise our
readers to use it no more forever, for a
better remedy, and one entirely harm
less, is found in the refuse lime which
has been used in the manufacture OF
burning gas. This is not q new idea or
remedy. 1t has been used with the
greatest success by people whom we
know, and is pronounced by them safe
and efficient in its operations as bug.
destroyer, while its effect upon the land
is to fertilize and improve it. This may
be depended upon and as the gas com
panies will be glad to give away all that
they make, and it is abundant, the only
expense attached to its use is the cost
Of hauling it to the potato fields. II
can be pulverized and scattered ovel
the vines, and the bug will soon be ex
terminated.
We heartily commend this remedy t.
all who anticipate acontest this summer
with the little pest designated.

Monday IS Payday.

Both in England and America, several
large firms have tried, within the last
year, the plan of paying their employees
on Monday, instead Of Saturday. In
every case the results have been most
gratifying. Thetemptations necessarily
involved in a day of leisure and q
pocketful of money have been no longer
felt. Sunday, instead ofbeing devoted to
dissipation, has become a day of health.
full recreation and rest; and the weeks
wages, formerly in great part wasted,
have been used to far better advantage.
Under the old system it often happens
that first-class workmen lose from one
to three days early in the week in re.
covering from the effects of their Sun
day debauch. Under the new system
this evil no longer exists. 1t is said
that the same number of men do one
and half times az many days work in
the same time. The efficacy Of the
change has been thoroughly proven.
1t is to the interest of both master and
man; and it therefore lies in the power
Of every employer to add greatly to the
physical and moral welfare of his EN-
ployes, not only without any loss, but
with positive gain to himself.-Ch;cag

Mixed Grain.

An Eastern farmer writes: 1t has
been our custom for several years, to
SOW mixture Of oats and wheat for
feeding stock, two bushels Of oats and
one OF wheat to the acre. The yield in
bushels is greater. The quality Of the
product is very superior the wheat is
very full and plump; it makes heavy,
rich and nutritious feed for stock. Peas
and oats are frequently sown together,
to be used as feed for young stock.
Nothing is better as flesh-forming food.
Oats and barley are also raised together.
We should suppose the barley would
ripen first and shell before the oats
would mature. 1t is said the barley is
retarded in ripening by the shade of the
oats, SO that both reach maturity at the
same time.

Hints for the Household.

Brmses.-Apply repeatedly cloths
wrung out of hot water. This will pre-.
vent discoloration of the skin, or a
"black eye" if applied Immediately.
Watery Potatoes.-If potatoes have
proved watery, put piece of lime into
the pot the size of hens egg and
when the water is poured off they will
be dry and mealy.
To Boil Nashville the meat is
boiling add for every three pounds two
spoonfuls of brandy. Even tough meat
will be made tender in this way without
retaining any taste Of brandy.
FHes.-Boil together equal parts, by
weight, of glue and molasses, spread it
over common brown paper, while hot,
with brush. Place a sheet Of paper
in every room in your house. 1t will
capture every fly in the room within
the day. The paper can be thrown into
the fire and new one used, when GOV.
cred with the captured flies.
Preserving .S,ceet Comm. B. Wade,
Fairfield county, Conn.,, prepares sweet
corn as follows: "We take the corn
right from the hill, and take off some
Of the husks, but not all, and put it in
the stove-oven, aud leave it there to
cook from twenty to thirty mintes.
Then take it out, take off the rest OF
the husks, and with two-tined fork
take the corn fro II the cob, put on
dishes, and return to the oven to dry.
This is the Indian method, only instead
of the oven they used hot stones, and
burned the corn with them until cooked,
and then dried in the sum-"
To Keep Hams in Summer.-There are
a number of modes given to keep hams
through the warm season free from the
attacks of insects. Some bag them and
whitewash the bags, which is trouble
some and somewhat expensive some
cover them with dry wood.ashes and
pack them in barrels and cover thor
oughly with pine shavings; but We
think the best plan Of all, and certainly
the least expensive with all who have .
smokehouse land every farmer should
have a good one), is to keep the ham.
hung up in smoke-house, which should
be kept perfectly dark at all times. W.
have eaten hams so kept two years old
and they were among the best we eve
tasted. Uniform darkness is complete
protection against the attacks OF in

New York, June 6.-The Posts Bos.
ton correspondent describes the plan of
Aurora village in WOODBURY., Mass,
the first experiment of the Women's
Economical Garden Homestead League.
The charter of this millennial paradise
was put through the last Legislature by
Mrs. Phillips, after several years of per.
sistent lobbying. The Leagues ultimate
plan is to restrict the disposal Of the
public domain so that one-half thereof
shall forever be open to occupation by
women only. The lands are to be set
tied by women who may erect villages
which they shall govern under rules es.
tablished by the paternal league. The
villages are to have women officials,
physicians and teachers, all drawing pay
from the general treasury, and all chill
dren under l6 are to be compelled to
attend the schools. No woman can own
more than six acres in any village, and
these must descend through the female
line; and to cement each community
in an indissoluble pai tnership, every
alternate lot is held in perpetuity by
the villagers in common. Thus the
theorists propose to make attractive
homes for women who have no homes
The lots in Aurora are priced at from
IS to $40 each.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes:
The late Superintendent OF Public
instruction of the brisk State of Iowa,
Alonzo Alternately, sends in his report
of the public educational system OF the
State,-275 pages. There were 46O,629
schoolable children in 1871, of whom
about 342 600 attended the schools, and
enjoyed the services of 14,070 teachers,
two-{hirds of whom were females, with
an average weekly compensation Of 80
men, and 81 female. The schools were
generally kept open six months in the
year, and the tuition Of each pupil cost
about 80 cents week. There were
1884 school houses, valued at 81, 764,-

The most economical and satisfactory
black paint that we have ever used for
iron-work was made by mingling about
two quarts Of coal-tar with pint or q
pint and half of benzine or benzole,
which was laid on with a paint brush.
This makes an excellent black varnish
for rough work. 1t could not be recon-
mended, however, as fine varnish for
any inside work. Three years ago, the
iron fence and iron balustrade and hand.
rails Of our front steps were covered
with such a varnish, while the iron.
work of adjoining neighbors has been
painted every year with oil, lampblack,
and varnish. At the present writing,
our fence looks much the best, and
scarcely needs painting, while theirs re.
ally needs a coat of paint. A paint
made of coaltar and benzole will be
found excellent for smearing the iron.
work of farm implements. As benzole
is somewhat volatile, no more paint
should be prepared at one time than
will be used Observation-Disclosures

to have been the cause Of the prolific
and abundant crops which were almost
universal in the Old and New Worlds.
Even now in the latter it is not uncom.
mon to hear of the great comet year,
and wines have sometimes been sold at
high figure, under the fancy of some
influence produced by the tail of ia
vorite comet. 1t is said by close observ-
ers, that other comets Of later years
have apparently had some physical in
fucnce in producing fine agricultural
yields, and it may be the spectroscope,
with its wonderful powers of analysis,
may, ere long, enable physicists to set.

constitution and influence of these vast

doubt that this root will ultimately be.
come an important product Of our agri.
cultural industry. At an agricultural
meeting in Valenciennes, France, few
years ago, triumphal arch was erect d
bearing the inscription: 4" The growth
Of wheat in this district before the pro-
duction of beet root sugar was only
976, 600 bushels; the nu nber of oxen was
seven hundred. Since the introduction
ofsugar manufacture the growth of wheat
has been l,l68,00O bushels, and the
number of oxen IL. 500" There is prob.
ably no crop that returns 30 much to
the soil as this. Wherever its culture
has been introduced in Europe, the pro-
duct of wheat and cattle has greatly in
creased. The same results would un.
doubtedly follow its cultivation here.

A Mexican romance shows that the
Mexican woman is willing to assume all
the responsibility belonging to her
rights. Two Mexican ladies Of rank, at
a ball in Santa Cruz, quarreled regarding
a gentleman who loved each, we assume,
about equally. A challenge followed,
and there was fight with swords, the
end of which was the dis bling of the
sword. arm of one Of the combatants.
The wounded lady, nothing daunted,
drew pistol and dared the other TO
come on. The parties were placed and
the word given; and the unfortunate
one in the previous affray received q
ball in her left arm and was carried
from the field in a swoon. Two hours
afterward, the rules of chivalry holding
good, the victor was married to the OBJ.
ject of so many affections, and bore
him blushingly away on horseback
