Gates BACE-SUCTION PREVENTOR FOR
OIL WELLS, patented hugus: Is. 1871, which en-
trey prevents the inCrcss Of air in oil wes, while
the tubing is being drawn. ii is u well known TACT
to Oil operators, that upon wells where Gas Pumps
are used it is nccessa y TO preserve nearlya per-
feet vacuum a possible, and that no air should be
let into the WE'LL at any time, when it can possibly
be avoided; consequently Whenever the tubing is
drawn fr well it is the cause of great injury to
It, the stuf'lng box, being then necessarily OPEN
cd, the air Immediately rushes back between the
tubing and casing, into the Well going into tho oil
rock and gas veins, and col sequeutly causin. the
oil and gas TO rush back to n great distance. SO
much 80, that it almost always takes several days
after pumping Is resumed for q well to be brought
back to its former condition, and oentmes it takes
several weeks; and quite frequently wells have been
almost complet y ruined by tie air being thus let

The BACK SUCTION PKEVENTCR .s attnched
to the st1i,ing box ard works in such way that il
completely shuts UT the space between the stufline
box and tubing so eGectuay that not prrtcle o.
air can get through al any time while the tubing
being drawn and replaced 1t supplies want Ions

Gambling.

Editor Dispatch:-I wish through you,
columns, to call the attention of the
public to the prevalence and extent OF
gambling in our midst. In nearly all
the large towns on this coast gambling
is strictly prohibited and can only be
carried on privately, by the utmost cir
cumspection.
Here there is hardly place Of public
resort where it is lot openly carried on
attracting hither horde of vampires
whose sole business and study is, by any
and every means, to entice and fleece
the unwary. Scores of honest. hard
working men, who occasionally come
here for rest and recreation, are regular
ly fleeced by these Sharpers of their
hard earned money, who, if gambling in
public even was prohibited would never
"hunt game.
Men having families dependent upon
them, frequently spend their last dollar
in these places, and what is still worse,
school boys attracted by curiosity find
their way into these dens and are ertic-
ed Or permitted (it matters not which)
to "just try their luck" with whatever
small pocket money tley may have and
when that was lost have even been ac-
comodated with a small loan by the gen
tlemanly (D proprietor, to enable them
to become more fully initiated into
career that is more than likely to lead
to prison Or e gallows. Such state
Of things is simply damnable.
The remedy is plain. Let all who
have the interest of our present and fu-
cure at heart, openly condemn such prac-
tices and unite in enforcing the penal
ties Of our Legislative enactments against
them, and, above all, let our City Faith
ers forbid them by Ordinance under the
heaviest penalties and gambling, If rot
suppressed entirely, will be compelled
to darkness and secrecy.

Bunglingly mangled as were all the de-
tails on ship board, it is extremely for
tunate that only two persons of the en-
tire list of passengers and crew have

the brave man Hunter, second mate,
who received the child from the mothers

This shows that actual contact with the

In roasting meat, as in boiling ii. the
first object should be to coagulate the
albumen al the surface, in order to pre-
vent the escape of the juices. The meat
should at first be placed close TO the fire,
kept there for ten or fifteen mlnuteS, and
then withdrawn TO u greater distance from
the heat If cooked in the oven of stove
or range, the oven should be very hot
when the meat is first put into 1t, kept at
the same heat for n short time, then cooled
down partially (by opening the door or
checking the fire., and The roasting should
then he allowed to go on very slowly, SO
that the inner parts may be thorough "
done. The loss of weight tmostly water
and fail is nearly one thnd more in roast
Ing than in boiling. Roast meat has the
richer flavor, because certain aromatic
principles are developed BY this mode OF
cooking, The occasional :" dredging " Of
-four over the surface Of the meat helps
stop up the pores and check the escape OF
the fat. Roasted meat is not SO well
suited for invalids and dyspeptics rs BOILED
meat, since it is apt to contain aerld sub.
tances formed out of the highly heated
fat. Broiling is II species OF roasting,
but it ordinarily produces somewhat
more digestible food tor the dyspeptic
FRYING is the worst possib lie mode Of
cooking meat, especially for persons
whose digestive powers are not vigorous
as it almost invariably develops a very
acrid substance known as acroleine, and
suudry fatty acids that are nearly as
unwholesome.
Stews and hashcs are often very sayory
but seldom agree with weak stomachs
They are far better when made from fresh
meat than from that which has already
been cooked. The repeated cooking OF
any kind of food detracts materially from
lis nutrtive quality. As some one has
said alt is better to reheat cur good
cold beef and mutton in our stomachs than
in our frying pans or stewing pots"
Sailed meat is less nutritious than fresh
because much ofthe saline matter is DIS
solved out by the brine. 1t is we'll known
that scurvey is often produced by the con
tipued use of salt meats without tresl
vegetables. Some have asserted tha
meat may become poisonous by being
cured in brine that has been used agair
and ngain; but however that may be, The
flavor Of meat kept in old brine can hardly
be as good as if the liquid was freshly
| made

Dangers Peculiar to Underground Rail
WAYS.

Underground railroads are subject
to some peculiar dangers. During a
heavy rain one of the stations Of the
London Metropolitan road took in so
much water that the fires OF an APP.
preaching engine were put out. The
switches would not work, the telegraph
gave out, an express train was coming,
and there was really serious danger. A
new engine was fastened by means of a
chain to the train but failed to pull it
ont. During this time the passengers
we're unable to leave the cars on ac-
count of the depth and fury of the tor
rent A panic seized the railway Of
ficials, and despair the passengers,
many women fainting. By great efforts
a few passengers were removed when
up came the express, hailed by shout
of apprehension by all who looked on
the scene. But fortunately the water
had zone far enough down the tunnel.
the coming train raised wave before
it, and the fires of that engine were put
out too. 1t approached to within five
feet of the cars before it.

:
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, in answer to an inquiry, gives his
views as follows
Ii is asked--poes not the washing OF
butter cause the loss ofits aroma We are
sure-nD 1t has nothing to do with it.
1t simply washes the milk out more readily,
and saves labor in working out the butter
milk with ladle II rather assists in re.
tanning the aroma and the grain of the hut
ter. The fault with many butter.makers
is, they work the butter too much, thereby
destroying both the grain in it and the
aroma also.
For the benefit ofyoung butter.makers
we will give some of our practice and ex-
perience in butter-making. Our milk
house stands with the floor elevated about
one foot above the surface of the ground ;
10 by II feet, and 9 feet high With two
screen windows in the center, on either
SIDE, extending from the floor upward four
feet, and two and Il half feet wide. 1t has
glass windows, same size, hung on hinges
on the inside to shut out the freezing air In
cold weather But when the weather is
not severe the air has free circulation all
over the surface of the milk, consequently
the milk remains sweet longer and the
cream arises better than in any other I'M
foreground cellar or house we always use
two-gallon tin milk pans, and do the milk
ing in lin buckets. We churn in an oak
churn, Of the old dasher kind, Never let
the milk stand over thirty-slx hours in the
summer, or forty light hours in the winter
fit should stand longer in the former case
the cream would get too sour in the lat.
ter, too bitter; and of course the butter
in either case, would be spoiled before ii
WAS churned. Wash the butter before
sailing, as soon as churned salt and SCI
away without working, till cooled then
work well, but not to long. Set away over
night, and in the morning work out all the
milk, and Ioll, or pack, as desired
! If the above directions are observed
there will be no complaint for want of good
bntter the year round. 1t will be yellow
high favored with aroma, and well grain.

- - AuLnmn davs,

These quiet Autumn days,
Ne soul. like Noah's dove, on airy wings
Co. ont and searches for the hidden things
Beyond the hills of haze.
With mournfnl, pleading cries,
,fove the waters OF the yoiceless sea
That laps the shore Of broad Eternity,
Day after day, it flies.
Searching, but all in vain,
For some stray leaf that it may light upon,
And read the future, as the days agone-
Its pleasures, and its pain.
Listening patiently
For some voice speaking from the mighty deep.
Revealing all the things that it doth keep
In secret there for me.
Come back and wait, my soul!
Day after day-thy search has beea in vain.
yoiceless and silent DER the futures plain
It's mystic waters roll.

And in His time the waters shall subside
And thou shalt know what lies beneath the tide
Then wait, my soul, and rest

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Sweeney in Horses.

Sweeneyed shoulder in horses is not "a
disease of the shoulder originally. but is a
representative of other diseased parts,
through sympathetic action Of the limbs
from the feet.
A horse suffering severe pain from bone
spawn, for months, will exhibit sweeney Or
shrunken hip as a result of the morbid ac-
ton OF the diseased parts. All diseases Of
the lore feet affect the shoulders. Canker,
contraction, founder, gravel, prick from a
nail, are affections ofthe feet only. Some
people will say that such a horse is chest
toundered, while the horse apparently per-
ishes in the chest. This is caused by the
horse standing with his fore feet stretched
cut forward. If a man were to remain
with his arms stretched forward, his chest
would suffer the same way. Contraction
is not so much disease as the result Of bad
management on the part CT the smith in
shoeing the horse.

Fishes Eyes.

The eve in the lancelet and the bag
is of the simplest form, consisting of a
nerve termination coated with black
pigment, and capable only of perceiv-
ing the presence of light. In young
lampreys, while they remain buried in
the sand, the eyes are very minute and
undeyeloped; but when they reach the
adult period these organs are devel-
oped to an average SIZE In the major
ity Of fishes the eyes are admirably
adapted to the purposes of vision IN
water, and in the four. eyed fish OF
South America not only are the eyes
very perfect, but they are also divided
into an upper and lower portion, giving
them the appearance Of two pupils and
enabling the fish to pursue its prey
when out of as well as under the water.
In the catfishes the greatest variety is
found in the size and arrangement Of
the visual organs, from the large eyes
on the sides to minute ones placed on
the upper surface Of the head. In
some Of tine members Of this family
they are so buried under the skin or Ell.
cased folds of cartilage as to be OF but
little or no use. -.Sclibmer'S MopHly.
