To OBTAIN WATER FROM GREAT
DEPTHS. An apparatus has been re-
Gently devised in Germany for obtaining
specimens Of water at any desired depth
of the ocean. A strong, heavy vessel,
entirely closed and empty, has valve
through which water may be admitted,
but which is only put in motion by
means of powerful electromagnetic CON
nected Herewith. These magnets are
connected with a wire which accompa-
MES the rope by means of which the
apparatus is lowered from the ship.
When the empty vessel, which is in fact
a plummet, has reached the required
depth, a current of electricity is sent
from the battery on shipboard to the
coils below the magnetism thus gener-
ated opens the valves, and the vessel is
filled and ready to be drawn up.

MASKS AND FACEs.-Ladies who mask
their faces and nccks with cnamels cndan-
ger their health TO no purpose. The plas-
ter work deceives nobody. There IS but
one article known which viii restore a
blemished complexion or create external
briIliancy and bloom where they have
never heretofore existed. and that article
IS Hagan's Magnolia Balm. 1t performs
this toilet miracle by infusing vitality in
TO the skin. The floral and herbal juices
Of which If is composed gently stimulate
the circulation in the minute blood vessels
and brace the network OF nerves through
which they pass. Thus qulckened and
strengthened the external covering soon
acquires a fresh and healthful hue, and ev-
cry trace OF salIowness disappears. The
paleSt checks derive from the identifying
baptism OF this delightful cosmetic a

never hope to initiate.

lRRADIATIoN OF LIGHT.-It is a Gu
rious fact, that if the same letters of
the same size precisely are painted on
two boards, the one white on a black
ground, and the other black on white
ground, that the white letters will APP
pear larger, and be read at a greater dis
lance than the black. This is owing to
what is called the irradiation of light.
1t depends on this That the impression
made on the bottom of the eye by bright
objects extends little wider than the
actual portion of the organ struck by
the light, and, invading the space occn-
pied by the darker objects, makes the
brighter appear larger than they really
are

The following hints on saving manures
are copied from the New England Far
mar.
August is a good time to do several
things to meet this want. On most
farms much may be found This month
being usually dry, the streams low. and
the surface of meadows sufficiently hard
to bear Up the team. offers a favorable
time To throw out and haul off muck.
The question may arise whether muck
is worth accommodating. If so far away.
or So difficult in getting out. as to make
the cost Of transportation or excavation
equal to 81 or - a cord, then some 9TH
or mode Of accumulation may be more
economical: but wherever it can be
easily obtained, it is the most certain
and permanent means of enriching the
farm. Good muck is manure. 1t is not
clay, or sand, or stones. 1t is decom-
posed vegetable matter, enriched by
mineral substances which have been
washed into and mingled with it. The
droppings of orr stock also are decom-
posed vegetable matter. From theory.
and from large experience in the use Of
muck, we are thoroughly convinced that
Is value is not properly appreciated
Perhaps the largest benefits derived from
il are on sandy soils, but we have used
it for more than twenty years on heavy
loans. Let those who disparage it tell
us what it IS, if it is not manure. There
is great difference in its qualities, and
this must be observed by those who use
it.
Another source Of manure may be
found on most farms in neglected head
lands, under stone walls and fences.
Some OF these have been accommodating
for so years and are composed of the
vegetables which have grown and de-
Cayed there, and Of the richest portions
of the soil, which have been turned by
the plOW, or blown there by the winds.
Cart these away, and cover the coward
with them; deposit a heap near the hog
sty to be shattered two or three times a
week over the accommodations there. If
in fine condition, it may he used as
litter for the stock. Other advantages
will arise from this course. The borders
of the field will produce less weeds and
bushes and the operations of cultivation
can be more conveniently done.

It will be seen that our exports this
season, since January /, are 80, 649 box
es more than they were last year, while
our receipts are 204 1902 boxes more
But our home consumers have been us
ing new cheese since May, whereas last
year they had large stock on hand of
old cheese at the beginning Of May, and
there were some 50, 900 boxes in New
York market. While our receipts this
year exceed our exports 1875, 430 boxes, it
is probable that this amount has been
taken by the home trade, and that the
market is now practically bare. We
know it was bare two weeks ago, and
that the receipts reported last week
were less by 26, 900 boxes than the ship
ments. This is accounted for by the
fact that all the receipts were not then
reported and have come into this weeks
receipts, making them some 81, 800 box
ex more than the exports. Deduct the
26, 900 excess of shipments the week be-
fore, and we have in the New York
market only 5000 boxes what has been
taken by the home trade, which is prob
ably not less than 5000, leaving only
5000 boxes of stock on hand.

Rev. Mr.. Smyth, Of New York, who ad-
verified the "Black Crook so successfully,
and by bis concentrations of its unadorned
beauty brought much wealth to the treas
ury Of Niblo's Garden, preached a sermon
in New York on The 7th inst, in which he
urged that the churches could be.fIled, and
the cause Of The gospel advanced, II places
of worship were advertised and rendered as
attractive IS the theatres. By this means
be believes that public interest and curiosity
would be excited, and the people iured
into the churches by precisely the
same devices that they are brought
TO the play house. He contends
that the churches are not literally
attended for the reason that there is net
sufficient publicity given to them, and they
are not rendered attractive enough to bring
people within their portals. The idea sug-
gests itself, however, says the New York
Express, that perhaps people would be more
DESTROYS Of, and tolerably certain to attend
the services of the church, were the minis
ters to preach to them matters of interest.
Men and women are willing to
listen to what will interest and entertain
them, and it is not so much by advertising
church services, but by putting more brains
into the sermons, that they can be brought
within that pale which now they avoid.
Printers ink will not supply the place of
brains, and it would be as well for the min
listers TO learn this.

INFANT MORTALITY.

Viewed from commercial standpoint,
infants are valuable. Those who eventual
ly grow up into men and women are so
many persons added to the population Of
the country. To allow them to die, from
the practical point Of view adopted by
GradgriRd, the statistician,is much waste Of
good material. Aud yet nearly forty per
cent. of the total deaths Of all ages are
those of infants under five years. DIR. Tro-
yer, of Washington, has collected and pub
lished some statistics On this subject which
are truly startling. DR.. Trover shows
that the motality in the great cities Of the
country has risen TO much higher rate,
the highest being in Chicago, where it in
creased from percentage of .2S in 1913 to
90 in 1869. In St. Louis, in 1871, the per-
centsge of deaths under five years being
3.4O0 to $3.50 above. In Philadelphia the
percentage varies from 1853 to 1870 be-
tween the figures 81 and A. In the year
1862 the infant mortality in New York was
over III per cent, and in 1851 only .6l.
From 1885 to 1853 it ranged from 81 to 81;
in 1866 it was only Al; and the inference is
that the death rate is diminishing instead Of
advancing. Cincinnati has percentage
near that of Philadelphia; New Orleans
less than either of the two, and Providence,
Rhode Island, enjoys the minimum rate Of
only SO. As a means Of reducing this
d sth rate among this class of the popula-
ton, DR.. Troyer fayors the establishment
in the rural districts or amorg the noun
tains of "free parks, where hundreds of
lives might be saved from the annual raw
ages of cholera infantum, and the decima-
ton of the heated term of summer" A
New York paper supports this idea. 1t
says: ...
"Scattered all along the Atlantic Sea-
board within easy reach By steamboat or
rail. are the beautiful and verdant spurs
aud valleys of the Blue Ridge and Allegha-
nv Mountains which offer just such retreats
as are needed. No expense Is spared 10

THE GRANT-DUNCAN FARCE.


1t almost makes one melancholy to
think, says the New York Tribune, how
much hard work the Grant Committee
threw away in getting up the Louisville
Convention. Here is a letter which they
wrote to post-office employee on the sub
iect, and we have no doubt hundreds of
post-masters have received copies of the
same, or a similar missive:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. II, 1872.
---, Esq.-Dear Sir: l am directed
by the Postmaster General to say to you
that any assistance you can give to the
Louisville movement will be considered
done for the Administration. You are ex
gected to see that their meetings in your
district are numerously attended, and rem
dered enthusiastic; BRING Chas. OConor's
name forward as candidate for President;
there must be concert Of action through
out the country to meet with any success,
and all the employees of the Government
are looked to TO sustain this movement by
every possible means. l am, very respect
fully, etc, j. w. CHANDLER,
Chairman r. N. G.
1t was dangerous, adds the Tribune, to
write such things, of course-therefore the
precaution of signing them with the name
Of J. W. Chandler, who is not chairman
ofthe r. n. c." but a very useful and
active person in that concern notwithstand-
ing. The document before US, however,
carries its authorization on the outside, FIR
it is franked by the Hon. z. Chandler, who
writes enough like Mr.. j. W. Chandler to
be his twin brother. And TO think that
the only result of the Louisville Gonven-
lion, after al, should have been to promote

In July, 1870, Congress passed the fol-

President Grant signed this bin. He

dent" That is, they hold civil Office, and
are still ''officers of the army Of the United
