In Denmark the Building Societies
form mn important feature OF social life
In 1865, Messrs. Burmeister and Vain
tthe latter il mn Englishman), the largest
employers of labor in the country, start
ed n new cottage system. The plan was
tl every member should pay one
mark % cents week and find deposit
of one dollai. The houses, when finished
or unoccupied, were to be drawn for by
lot the member winning would have to
pay fair rent. and the excess Of rent
over interest (six per cent. on the actu-
al cost of the house is credited to the
occupant, who in twenty eight years
would thus repay the capital, and be en-
titled to the conveyance Of the house in
freehold. Members who do not win are
entitled to reclaim the entire amount of
their deposits after eighteen years. The
society has built thirty.six two foored
cottages in rows, each having small
court and garden, and with either three
or two rooms besides kitchen, nnording
in all accommodation for about $50 per
sons. The rent of the first floor is about
$3s, and the ground floor about S32
per annum. For much worse accommo-
dntion other artisans have to pay $40
per annum.
Throughout Prussia the homes of the
artisans are generally very poor. OF
late years rents have greatly risen. Some
thing is being done to improve matters
by the aid of Building Societies. In
Sweden, where timber is cheap and land
is plentiful the traveller sees neat little
cottages, each with its garden. Many of
the mine proprietors offer their work
men the privilege of buying their houses
by easy instalments. IL Russia many
of the mill-owners have built for their
workshops large houses constructed on
sanitary principles and divided into
three classes houses for married couples,
fo. unmarried men, and for unmarried
women.

A Kansas Marshal.

When Abilene the Texas cattle mart %
Kansas. becam q 10 over-run with thieves
cut-throats, greasers, and their like, tha
n mans live was in danger, the peopl,
pitched upon the notorious Wild Bill
for their Marshal, and invested him will
authority to keep order. This he begar
to do, not so much by arrests as b.,
shooting persistent disturbcrs Of tn,
pence after he had ordered quietncss
His name was sufficient terror to ma
jority of the evil incllued inhabitants tc
cause quietus upon their brawls when
he came near, from the fact Of his known
determination To get the first shot and
the unerring fatality Of his shots. Vari
Gus stories MS To the number of this
mans victims are cxtant, some highly
embellsbed, but the most moderate fix
the number of men who he has coclly
shot down at more than twenty. The
fact is he is universally dreaded among
the ruflian class, and this is the man
whom the people chose for Marshal, and
whom they empowered with authority
to quel disturbances. Many people
may be ready to ask, "Why did not the
citizens rise en- masse and thrush ont
the evil.doers ?" Simply because the
evil-doers exceeded in number the peace
able citizens. Violent disorders often
times require violent antidotes, and
therefore was this man Wild Bill, chosen
Marshal He effected what less des-
perate man could not, and that was an
almost total cessation of streets fights
and after his retention of the Office for
r.n1I,, ,,Apo,l1a 10
through the streets of the city without
imminent peril.
1t is fair to think that man who has
caused so much death in the world as
Bill has many enemies, and that they
thirst for his blood A popular adage
among these rough characters is, "A
man that shoots much will die with his
boots on, and it was currently report
ed last Summer that a powerful move
ment among Bills enemies was on foot,
and that he must "look sharp" Now,
whether there was any concert of action,
know not, but on the day of the coun-
Y fair in September last, there arose a
dispute among some men; pistols were
drawn, Bill ordered peace. two shots
were fired, when he instantly shot the
two men who did it; one was killed in
stantly, and the other fingered with two
balls in his breast for two days and died.
A mock investigation was held; he was
cleared of all crime Sin the execution
of the duties of his Office" and the oc-
currence was almost forgotten, when
it was noised abroad that the friends OF
one of these men whom the Marshal
killed had taken the war-path, bound
by an oath to spill his blood. This was
very early in December, and people are
disposed to give credence to the story
from the fact that the Marshal disap-
peared from Abilene about that time
being warned by his friends of this de-
termined league against him. Marshal
Bill is now in New York.

TRAVELLING STONES. of ON
readers have doubtless heard of the fa-
nous travelling stone of Australia. Sim
liar curiOsities have recently been found
in Nevada, which are described as almost
perfectly round, the majority of them as
large as a walnut, and of an ironey ma
ture. When distributed about the floor
table, or other level surface, within two
or three feet of each other, they imme.
diately began travelling toward common
centre, and there hudle up in bunch
like a lot of eggs in nest. A single
stone, removed to the distance of three
and half feet, being released. at once
started off, with wonderful and somewhat
comical celerity TO join its fellows ta-
ken away four or five feet, it remained
motionl.ss. They are for I'd in a region
that is comparatively leve., and is moth
ing but bare rock. Scattered over this
barren region are little basins, from a
foot to a rod in diameter. and it is in the
bottom OF these that rolling stones are
found. They are from the size of a pea
to five or six inches in diameter. The
cause of these stones rolling together is
doubtless to be found in the material OF
which they are composed, which appears
to-be loadstone or magnetic iron ore.
I" Rolling stones gather no moss. "-Scs-

QUEER BIRDS. They must have queer
birds in Winfield, Iowa, according to one
of our subscribers, who writes One of
our neighbors had an old gobbler that
got on nest and wanted to sit there.
After he had been on the nest bous a
week, Mr.. Lee, his owner, procured
some eggs and set him, just to see the
result. After the gobbler had set four
weeks, and no turkeys appearing, MI.
Lee broke an egg to see what was the
matter. They were all spoiled, and so
he broke Mr.. Gobbler's nest up and
wouldn't let him go on it again. After
few days he laid himself down and
died. He had either set himself to death,
or had died of a broken heart. when he
found his labor lost Another neighbof
had hen that was setting near large
family of little pigs. Her nest and eggs
in some way getting destroyed, ebe
turned her attention toward the little
pigs. and would try to gather them un-
der her wings, much to the annoyance
Of the pigs mother. When the pigs got
so that they could run round. the old
hen would run after them, and be per-
fectly distressed because ST. couldn't
keep up with them and keel them tc

CATTLE IN COLORADO. Through the
egion where the snow now lies, says q
Colorado letter, and which fell nearly
two months ago, thousands of cattle are
without much other feed than they can
get where the coarse grass is above the
snow, and where the sage-brnsb and
tbickets of cottonwood and willows
abound. Still, along the Platte Valley,
thousands of tons of hay were cut, and
it now finds ready sale at the stack at
$40 a ton-double the usual price it
brings. However. along the foothills of
the mountains, the snow soon melted
beneath the ravs of the hot sun rs it
was reflected back, and between the
canons of the Cache la Poudre and of
the Big Thompson, several large flocks
of sheep and as many as 10000 head of
cattle are now grazing, having been
driven thither from the valleys and
plains covered with crusted snow. HIth-
erto, for seven or eight years, the fall of
snow has been so slight that all kinds of
stock have lived the year round on the
range. Even now, cattle are driven to
market in as good condition as the aver
age OF stall-fed in the States, but these
were fat before the snow fell. Those
which then were thin in flesh, will find
it difficult to survive, unless they have
been driven to the foothills. | learn
from statements said to have been made
by persons living at Fort Laramie, that
this is the most severe Winter expert
enced since that fort was established,
which was 20 years ago. After all, the
weather is very fair the air ia pura ond
bracing, and storms are infrequent.

Experiments with Petroleum.

Some time since series of OK cri
ments was instituted in ~. Louis for ths
purpose Of nsccrtaining the practicable
ity Of using petroleum ~ fuel in the
manufacture of iron. These expert
ments have nov been continued for sew
cral months, aud the results are sur.
prising, as they 90 to show .Lat the
liquid fuel is not only more economical
than coal, hut is far better adapted for
the conversion of ore into superior
qualities of iron. One of the tests EN-
ployed would seem to demonstrate con
clusively the value Of petroleum heat in
iron mills A lot of pig iron smelted
with raw Illinois coal in 1859 had been
thrown aside as worthless owing to the
large abasement by sulphur, and though
frequent attempts had been made from
time to time to reduce this mixture to
merchantable iron, they had all resulted
in failure. A mass of this impracticable
material, 1000 pounds in weight, was
treated with petroleum heat, and in a
single hours time was turned out in the
shape of iron of the finest quality,
closely resembling steel, perfectly free
from sulphur and all other impurities.
II is claimed that common Iron Noun
tain pig iron can, by single application
of the liquid fuel in the pudding fur
mace, be made into the best hange
boiler iron, equal TO the first quality of
Sligo or Low Moor iron. 1t is sal that
iron manufactured by this process ex
hibits a tensile strength far greater than
that of Low Moor iron, as well as ca
pacity to sustain weight much above the
average. The experiments show that
petroleum is cheaper than coal in its
use and handling, so far as the heating
of the iron for the rolls is concerned,
while the saving in ''scraping" gives it a
still further economic advantage, actual
trial having shown saving over coal by
its use of 993 pounds in the amount
taken ont of the scraping furnace from
a quantity of 1850 pounds of iron,
which was melted mp. When it is con-
sidered that these experiments have
been made under many disadvantages,
with temporary machinery, and hitherto
untried apparatus for the application of
the fuel, their great Importance to the
iron industry of the country will be
readily appreciated.

TAKING CARE OF LAMPS The easiest
way to clean petroleum lamps is to wash
with thin milk of lime, which forms an
emulsion with the petroleum, and re-
moves every trace of it, and by washing
a second time with milk of lime and a
small quantity of CHI bride of lime, even
the smell may be so completely removed
as to render the vessel thus cleansed fit
for keeping beverages in. If the milk
of lime be used warm instead of cold,
the operation is rendered much shorter.
The best time for cleaning them is in
the morning, for reasons of safety, if
not convenience. Scarcely week pass
es during the winter months, but we
read accounts of frightful accidents
from kerosene lamps, exploding and
killing, or soaring for life women and
children. A simple knowledge of the
intiammable nature of the fluid would
probably put stop to nearly all the ac-
cidents As the oil burns down in the
lamp, highly inflammable gas gathers
over its surface, and as the oil decrease
the gas increases. When then oil is
nearly consumed, slight jar will often
lntiame the gas, and an explosion is sure
to follow, dealing destruction and death
with it. A bombshell is not more to be
dreaded. Now, if the lamp is not al
lowed to burn more than half way down,
such accidents are almost impossible.
Always fill your lamp in the morning,
then you never need fear an explosion.
