Farmhouse Notes.

GRAPEs.-It always has been the case
in wet and cold years that the ripening
of the grapes has been backward on
account of the consequent dimnution in
the total amount of the established quan-
titv of heat necessary for an early and
prolific maturity. The grapes under
such Circumstances contain less sugar
and more free acids together with a
greater quantity of water.
JUMPING CATTLE "A man who had
been troubled with jumping cattle, and
who ha tried every plan imaginable,
with the worst cases Of jumping cattle,
found nothing would succeed in keeping
them in their place, but to nut a board
over their face. Take an inch board,
about fourteen or fifteen inches square,
or large enough to cover their eyes, and
let it come down within four inches OF
the end of the nose; tie this to their
horns, by boring two holes to CORE
spond with the width of the horns, and
they will not jump.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM A BEAR.-A
Halifax telegram to the Montreal Gazste
tells the following: A daughter of Mr..
Angus Mcdonald Of Concordale, near
Souris, P. E. l., and another young girl
nine years old returning homeward from
the woods, came upon large bear with
two cubs eating sheep. The bear turned
upon and knocked her down, scratching
and tearing her badly. The child, who
screamed and hung to Miss Mcdonald,
was also severely scratched about the
head. Her fathers house, was quarter
of mile distant, and Miss Mcdonald
called loudly for assistance. The bear at
tackled and tore her again, and then re-
turned to the carcass of the sheep, but
whenever she called aloud, he ran at her
and bit her. At length her brother and
some young ren heard her cries and ran
to her assistance. The bear attacked
them, but they being armed with sticks
succeeded in driving him away. 1t Is
feared that Miss Mcdonald cannot re,
cover.

A NARROW ESCAPE.-oue of the daring
Buislays recently had very narrow escape
from horrible death at San Francisco. To
comply with the always growing desire
for something still more peIIlous in the
programme Of the gymnast, the Buislays
have introduced balloon scene, which it
is almost impossible for the average person
to witness without feeling of terror. Al
the close Of many oth"r wonderful teatS an
immense balloon ascends from an ampbl-
theatre until 1t has reached such height
that the car is just barely visible to the
naked eve. One of the male Bu,Slavs then
drops over tie side upon trap"zc bar, and

beneath to break possible fall. On the

an explosion followed, and the fragments
OF the BALI on dropped upon the headN Of
the audience in all directions. In the
midst Of the smoke, young Buis'ay de-
scended without injury. If the explosion

these are strewn-the wreaths of orange

cal age, and although the dress to be
chosen is a wedding dress, there arises
the usual suggestion about brocades, viz.
they are only a transient fashion, are

American institute Fair.

In view of the Importance of encoura-
ging efforts tending to the production OF
superior American leather, Jackson S.
Schultz offers geld medals as follows:-
One for the best pure eak tannage. one
for the best pure hemlock tannage and
one for the best mixed or union tannage.
These gold medals will be awarded by
the American Institute the leather ex'
hibited being subject to the same rules a.
other articles exhibited. Three or four
sides will be shown in the Exhibition
Building. The balance of the amount
forwarded will he stored at such places IN
the trade as may be selected by the exhib
tier. The leather exhibited must be s
fair sample of the average product of the
tanner. The great Medal of Honor viii
be also awarded for a new machine OF
process, which is not mere improvement
on what was before used, but which is SC
perfect in its results and so economical in
its operation as to produce favorable
revolution in some branch of the useful
arts. Only two such medals have thus far
been awarded; and the difficulty of COM
plying with all the condi ions requisite for
securing this prize has greatly enhanced
its value. No other institution, either in
the Old World or the New has fixed SC
high standard of merit, or purposes to
confer on an inventor so marked as dis
tinction.
The Board Of managers have found by
experience that the relative value and
efficiency of engines and machines can be
correctly arrived at only by putting them
into practical operation, and in such way
that the actual amount of work done by
each viii be accurately measured by auto.
matte methods so that no errors of human
Judgment can effect the result and enter
into the final decision. For several years
past the Board has expended large sums
of money for the purpose of making ex-
perimental trials Thus steam engines.
pumps and boilers have been. in turn,
subjects of special investigation. The
same plan will be pursued in the coming
exhibition, provided the number and i'm
por'ance of machines and apparatus tor
accomplishing the same end shall warrant
such a course.
Tie Board further announces that all
the permanent alterations and improve
ments in the great structure covering
100000 square feet-ordered by the lnsri
tute will be made for the express purpose
of rendering the show more attractive and
giving such facilities as will increase the
benefits that are to accrue to exhibitors.
