The papers inform US that Prince Bis
marck is about to summon an Information
al Congress at Berlin to agree On uni
form postal arrangement for the civil
lied world, on rate Of two pence per
half ounce, with newspapers one penny
for two ounces. This for an information
al rate among all countries would be a
very sensible Improvement. But it would
be altogether too high for internal post
age, being double the established rate in
England. Our opinion is that the proper
rate of postage is just now in state too
unsettled to admit of an internal arrange
ment. England has just adopted half
penny rate for postal cards, and made one
ounce the unit for single letters, which is
evidently preparing the way for half
penny per ounce on all letters. 1t is ev-
ldeDt that one cent rate is the only sat
isfactory settlement that can be made in
this country, and we hope this will come
by the next Congress. With one cent
per ounce established in England and
America as the rates of internal postage,
we shall require much lower figure for
internal postage than Prince Bismarck
proposes. Probably two cents per ounce
is he highest rate of postage to all coun-
tries that can give permanent satisfaction.

A few of the priests and deacons of the
Anglican Church have been scandalized
by the Archbishop of Canterbury that
nobody in the Church of England takes
the damnatory clauses of the Athanasian
Creed in their plain and literal sense
They do not wish to have their honesty
impugned in that way. They want ev-
erybody to understand that, in their
judgment, people who do not accept ev-
cry jot and little of the Athanasian form
ulary shall without doubt perish ever
lastingly. And, therefore, they have sub
scribed the following statement:
eve, the undersigned priests and dea
cons do solemnly declare that we have
not recited the Athanasian Creed with
private mental reservation but have
always accepted and believed in it's
words in their plain and literal sense"

Singular Robbery.

A bold and unique robbery was per-
petrated in a New York boarding house
on the 18th of July, which is thus
recorded in a letter from that city:
A man and woman, calling themselves
Mr.. and Mrs. James, engaged board
about a week ago with Mrs. Annette
Hardy, 563 Broome street. This morn
ing two unknown men called and asked
to see Mr.. and Mrs. James, and were
shown into the parlor, where they were
soon after joined by the above parties,
who appeared delighted to see them,
and Immediately sent out for some
liquor. Upon receiving the liquor, the
party asked Mrs. Hardy to join them,
which she did. She was not long in
the parlor when she was bound by the
visitors, and, upon her crying out, they
gagged her. The servant, Mary Arm
strong, hearing the cry, came to see
what was the ma tier, and was treated in
like manner. The thieves then col
lected many articles, with which they
escaped, Mr.. and Mrs. James going with
them. The total value Of the property
stolen is stated at 81, 100.

More Chinese Ingenuity.

A company of Chinese have been en-
gagged the present season in catching
mountain trout from Lake Tahoe, and
have supplied large proportion of the
dainty fish broug ght to this market:
Lately, however, the profits of second
dealers have been rendered precarious,
in consequence of the tendency of
mountain trout to feed on such innu-
tritious substances as scrap-iron. The
railroad spikes, rail-clamps, etc, found
in the stomachs of these fish are of
modern pattern, precisely similar to
those used on the Central Pacific rail-
road, and as the trout do not come
ashore in pursuit of such diet, it is pre-
supsed that the Chinese engaged in
their capture know some explanation
of the mystery. The fish sell at 35
cents per pound, and it is not uncom'
mon to find in some of the specimens
pieces of iron weighing as much as the
fish itself. Dealers in the city are now
compelled to make a careful inspection
of shipments from Lake Tahoe before
crediting them at current rates.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

Credulous EngIishmen.

Before all the great English races the
papers swarm with the advertisements
of rogues, who promise to send the
name of the winner to any one who
wishes to bet on a sure thing. The
cost of this valuable information varies
from one to twenty penny stamps.
Gudgeons bite readily at this bait, and
yearly throw away thousands of pounds
in presents to these sharpers, and tens
of thousands in laying wagers on the
horses they are told will win. just be-
fore the last Derby an English gentle
man inclosed the requisite amounts to
dozen of these advertisers, and re-
ceived assurances that nearly as many
horses were sure to distance the field.
They were all beaten. He has pub
lished his experience in All the Year
Round, as a warning to the credulous
public.

An Ingenious Discovery.

A farmer, who had passed innumer-
able sleepless nights, has immortalized
himself by discovering a method of
keeping babies quiet. The mode of
operation is as follows AS soon as the
squaller awakes setit up, propped up by
a pillow, if it cannot sit alone; then
smear its fingers with thick treacle ;
then put half dozen feathers into its
hands, and it will sit and pick the
feathers from one hand to the other
until it drops asleep. AS soon as ii
wakes again treacle and more feathers
and in place of the nerve-astounding
yells there will be silence and enjoy
ment unspeakable.

A Copperhead Snake in a Lady's
Clothes.

A few days since, Miss Sarah McNab-
ney, daughter of James McNabney, of
Concord township, seated herself on
fence near her fathers house. Shortly
after, she felt very sick and went to the
house and vomited very freely. She dis
robed herself for bed. She then walked
out upon the porch AMI unloosed the
garments next TO her person, when out
Ieaped a large snake. Her screams
brought her father to the spot He
killed the snake and threw it upon the
roof. in the morning he examined il,
and found it to be of the copperhead
species, about three feet long. Miss
McNabney had no intimation of the
presence of the snake, and it is wonder
full that it could work itself into the in,
tricacies of her garment without her
knowledge. 1t did not reach her per
son, or it would certainly have bitten
her causing probably fatal results

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
CROP Rotation.

A five years rotation, adopted in Eng
land for light, loamy land, is: First
year, roots; second, barley; third and
fourth, clover; fifth, wheat. The ad-
vantages of this system are that the
land gets a thorough cleaning, and a
mellow seed bed is prepared for the bar
ley; and young sod is held to be, when
broken up by single plowing, good
preparation for sound seed bed for the
ensuing wheat crops. In the West
roots are not raised as part of the ro-
tation, but the corn crop should be
used for the same purpose that roots
are in England; one of which is, clear
ing the soil from weeds.

How Many EGGS Can a Hen Laye

A German naturalist answers the
question how many eggs a hen can pos
sibly lay, as follows: The ovary of hen
contains about 600 embryo eggs, of
which, in the first year, not more than
duces 12O; the third, 1876; the fourth,
ia and in the following four years the
number decreases by twenty yearly.
In the ninth year only ten eggs can be
expected, and thus it appears that
after the first four years hens cease to
be profitable as layers.

Capacity of the Horse.

At meeting Of the British Associa-
ton, at Dublin, Mr.. Charles Bianconi,
of Caspel, read paper relative to his
extensive car establishment, after which
a gentleman stated that at Pickford's,
the great English carriers, they could
not work hGse more than ten miles a
day, and wished to hear Mr.. Bianconi's
opinion on the subject. Mr.. B. stated
he found by experience he could better
work horse eight miles day for six
days in the week than six miles a day
for seven days. By not working on
Sunday he effected saving of twelve
per cent. Mr.. Bianconi's opinion on this
point is of the highest Importance, for
he has over nine hundred horses, work
ing sixty-seven conveyances, which daily
travel 2,244 miles. 1t is also the result
of forty-three years experience.

Grass for Horses.

There can be no doubt that grass is
the natural food of the horse, for it is
cooling, and slightly medicinal, keeping
the bowels open, sharpening the appe.
tite, and hence is healthful. This is
evident from the fact that if the animal
is ailing, there is nothing that will so
surely promote digestion and remove
all tendency to fever in the system as
g r graSI horse ho Ken at tine grass
efcial, and there need be no fear that
he will lose in condition from it, or fail
either in speed or strength. No farmer
should deprive his horse of grass in its
season. It is not only the cheapest but
the best food he can have.

Advice to Farmers.

The Maine Farmer says: We need
again to urge farmers to have greater
regard for their personal health and
comfort than is generally the case. We
know just how hard farmers have to
work, and how pressing are the demands
of the present season. But nothing is
gained by hard and long-continued ap-
plication. Work in the morning and
at night, and, if possible, enjoy a long
nooning"-it will do you no harm.
Battle frequently, and never repose at
night in the inner clothing in which
you have worked during the day. Have
light, clean night shirt, to take the
place of that full of perspiration and
dust, and enjoy to its fullest extent the
refreshing influences, of the nights rest
Eat wholesome and well prepared food
but avoid an excessive use OF fresh
meats. Drink sparingly of cold water
during hot weather; great injury often
results from this cause.

To Test the Quality of Wool.

A Texas paper says: Take lock of
wool from the sleeps back and place it
upon an inch rule. If you can count
from thirty to thirty-three of the spirals
or folds in the space of an inch, it equals
in quality the finest Electoral or Saxony
wool grown. Of course, when the num-
Der of spirals to the inch diminishes, the
quality of the wool is relatively inferior.
Many tests have been tried, but this is
considered the simplest and best. Cots
do not measure nine spirals to the inch.
With this test every farmer has in his
possession a knowledge which will
enable him to form correct judgment
of all this kind of wool. There are
some coarse woods which experienced
wool-growers do not rank as wool, but
as hair, ON account of the hardness and
straightness of the fiber.
