American Soda.Nater.
From Harper's Magazine.


Soda-water was first made about
seventy years ago. The credit of the
invention is said to be due to Austin
Thwaites, Of Dublin.
The manufacture of the water, and
the methods of drawing it, have been
vastly improved during the past ten or
fifteen years. In few other departments
of inventive taste and skill have greater
strides been made towards the period
named. American ingenuity seems to
deserve the credit of leading the van
in the march of improvement, for even
the French, with all their skill in mat
tiers of bibulous and gastronomic,
learned something new about drinking
when some enterprising Yankee set up
an american soda fountain at the
great exposition of 1867. The ''soude
Amerlcaine la creme glacee' was a
novelty to the Parisians and their
guests, and met with hearty welcome
from all.
A Paris paper noticing the great
success in the potable line, said:
at is really one of the curiosities of
the exposition to watch the representa-
tives Of every nation on the face of the
globe as they make first trial of the
new beverage. The crowd is so great
that they are formed in line by the
police, and the first securing checks
take drink in turn.
GAS many as 1000 glasses have been
sold in one day, much to the satisfac
ton of the parties i'll charge. The con-
trast between the soda as served in the
American style and the can goaousc of
the French cafe is 50 decided as to
make the permanent introduction of
the former certainty"
The manufacturers of the old style
of apparatus are, of course, loud in
their denunciations of the new. They
say that gas never fully parts with the
sulphuric acid it brings over from the
generator unless it be allowed to ex-
pand in ''rising bell, " rs In their ma
chimes. As to the truth of their OBJ
lection We are unable to judge; but
whether valid or not, the new arrange
ment being so much more convenient
than the old, continues to win favor
abroad as we'll AS at home. We find
from examination of the catalogue of II
prominent manufacturer that the Amer
lean soda apparatus is now in use not
only in Europe, but has found its way
to fan. OFF Australia and even to China.

Heavy Diamond Robbery.

From the n. Y. World of "Wednesday.
1t has long been known that the
stages passing along Broadway are in
tested by a certain adroit class of fe-
male thieves who commit very many
robberies, but the most daring exploit
of the gang was performed yesterday
About one P. NJ, Mr.. Jerome l.. Babe,
a wealthy diamond merchant, who ar
rived from England fortnight back,
got into a Fifth avenue stage at the
New York Hotel TO go to Wall street,
In the left hand breast pocket Of his
coat WAS package containing diamonds
that he had purchased for IS, 900 IN the
rough III London, just from the South
African diamond mines, and which had
been cut for the New York market,
making the aggregate value of the gems
over $4,000 in gold, Mr.. Babe took a
scat III the lower left had corner Of the
vehicle, leaning his left arm out of the
window and holding cane IN his right
hand. The stage passed along until it
arrived opposite the City Hall, when
MIR. Babe mechanically passed
his hand over his pocket
to assure himself of the safety of bis
treasure To his CONSERVATION he
missed the package, and on examining
his coat found that some thief had cut
through the outer cloth and then clip
ped off pocket and diamonds together.
A number of passengers had left on the
route, and the only occupants of the
stage when Mr.. Babe discovered his
loss were lady and gentleman, whose
names the victim, in his excitement,
forgot to take. Mr. Babe rushed from
the stage, procured a hack, and went
straight to the Central Office, where,
after comforting with Superintendent
Kelso, he sought the services of De-
tective Elder, who, with Detective Far
ley, are working up the case. Mr..
Babe offers a reward of 81, 900 for the
recovery of the property, which con-
sists OF the following stones: One
package containing five diamonds,
weighing eight carats one package OF
ten diamonds, weighing ten carats; Il
third package of eight diamonds,
weighing ten and one-fOurth carats !;
another package Of twenty-five dia'
monds, weighing eighteen and three
fourths carats; and package OF nine
teen diamonds, weighing ten and one
fourth carats.

Packing Butter.

A new method of packing butter for
the retail trade has been invented,
which promises to answer a want long
felt. The new process is described as
follows A tirkin or barrel Is prepared
by filing to proper depth with strong
and pure brine The butter, as it Is
taken from the churn ana prepared
for market, is carefully selected as to
color and quality, and enclosed in plain
cotton bags or sacks, weighing,from five
to ten pounds each. These sacks are
placed in the barrel or tirkin, fresh
and sweet, and as the brine completely
covers them they can be kept i'll this
condition for any length of time, it is
claimed, without any deterioration in
quality. One great advantage that is
claimed for tins new style of packing
is, that dealers can take one or more
of the bags from the original package,
leaving the rest safe under cover of the
brine and excluded from the air. The
bags are suited to the retail trade, as
they are just about what is generally
needed for family use, but are at the
same time so conveniently arranged
that any smaller amount can be cut
from them. in the handiest manner This
is an experiment IN packing butter, but
it is worthy of consideration by retail
dealers. -Bu1diO Com. Adr.

Another Forest OF Big Trees in Califor-
mia.

A forest of the great Sequaia, the big
tree of California, has been discovered
in Keen county, in which the trees are
said to be larger than any in the famous
Mariposa and Calayeras groves. Mr..
NOrdhof writes from this section: One
tree was measured and found to be 43
feet in diameter-so | was assured by
the person who measured IT, the owner

told the man my hope that the saw mil
owners would spare these great trees.
He replied: " We have to spare them,
for they are too big for us to handle.
We can use the smaller specimens, but
one Of these big fellows cannot be cut
down or sawed with any tools we can
use.

Treatment of Peach Orchards amer

From the Grand Haven Union.

1t is now well understood by the in
telligent and practical peach grower
that cultivating among peach trees after
midsummer must be stopped. 1t is TO
thoroughly ripen the new wood by the
time heavy fall frosts occur 1t is be-
heyed by sowing buckwheat in the
orchard, the ground is kept from being
run over with weeds. The buckwheat
shades the ground and thereby enriches

fall the buckwheat is plowed under.

think, make it easier to accomplish the

The tansy and ashes placed in the

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Profits OF Poultry Keeping.

I Frank G. Hart, Of New Brunswick,
New Jersey, recently gave some pOul-
try statistics to the farmers CLUB of
that city which are worthy of attention
because of their fullness of detail and
Apparent accuracy:
In 1869 we FIRST commenced keeping
/ an account with our poultry We had
about sixty fowls-forty hens and TWEEN.
" cocks some of the latter being
small, were sold soon !; leaving about
fifty for breeding. Every egg laid and
every pound of poultry sold or used
vase redited to them at market prices;
every egg set and, all the food consum-
ed, we're charged at ruling prices. At
the end OF the year they stood as fol-
lows:

The fowls occupied a plum orchard
Of about three-quarters of an acre
room enough for one hundred fowls or
mOre-and a small building for laying,
roasting, &c.
In 1870 We tried again, on larger
scale, 10 head in all-S5 hens and 80
cocks, Killed off some cocks, leaving
about 100 for breeding. Kept them in
the same condition as last year. At the

In 1871 we tried it on still larger

on chickens, not trying to get eggs;
consequently, lne average NUMBER OF
eggs to the hen is smaller We set in
all $500 eggs, snostly dunghills, some
pure stocks, and few ducks and tur-
