SAN FRANCISCO, December c.
The Independents at Sacramento
are still firm in the belief that they
will elect Booth to the Senate. But
it is reported that the Democra is
will endeavor to make straight
fight on their own account. They
will hold a!caucus on Monday night.
They will probably concentrate on
Judge Hoge, of this city, anti,rail-
road, for Senator for the long term,
and Wallace, Hoge and Howard,
Democrats, spoken of for the short
term. Cole, Republican, is endeav-
oring to have himself taken up in
place of Booth, as compromise
candidate. Should the Democrats
determine, a strict party fight, will
seriously affect Booths chances of
election. The Legislature meets
again Monday.

The representatives Of the Cuba
government and the Cuban Junta,
are planning an expedition from this
city, and 10 this end negotiations
have been carried on by both par
ties with Captain Frank Bowen,
who has selected 4 vessel and part
of his men, and awaits the payment
of a sufficient sum on the part OF
his employers. Captain Bowen was
in command of the Nirginius in
1872, while she was cruising on the
Venezuelan coast. He was at one
time outlawed, and a price set on
his head by the Spanish Govern
ment for his successful landing OF
slaves on the Cuban coast. He has
since been a blockade rnnner and in

How COMMON WINDOW GLASS Is MADE
If youever visit Pittsburgh, in p ennsyl.
vania, you must 60 into the window glass
factories there you will find them yery
curious. Their furnace, in the first place
is built in the ancient style it has no
chimney, the smoke from the bituminous
coal they burn pours out in cloud into
the room. There are openings in the roof
for it to escape through, and continual
draught Of air from the doors carries it
upward, so that it is not SO bad for the
worAmen as one would think. Besides.
they do not begin to blow until the smoke
is all burnt off.
There are five pots on each side of the
furnace and you will see five mes in
row, blowing all at once, with the regular
lty of file of soldiers exercising. Each
gathers 80 or 40 pounds of metal on his
pipe, which is long and strong. Thew
stand on platforms, to get room to swing
the glass, as they blow it. The five men
begin to blow and swing altogether. Each
blows a great globe Of glass, which is
stretched out gradually by the swinging
motion into cylinder or roller. as It Is
called, five feet long. Then the five roll

SELF SUSTAINING FARMING. So

SELF SUSTAINING FARMING.-If self-sus
tanning farming means anything, it means a
system that will make the farmer indepen-
dent OF importation of such articles as he car
produce at home. The farmer that grows
all wheat, or all any one thing, may be fort
innate enough to occasionally have the money
TO supply himself with the necessities of life
without going in debt. But the farmer WHO
produces his own horses, cattle, sheep, hogs.
poultry, fruits, vegetables, wood, butter
hay, gram, ETC., and who always has some
OF these to sell, is the independent, self-sus-
tanning farmer. He always has spare money,
and is required to spend much less money tor
what he needs.
While anybody can follow the one idea,
the one crop system, it requires a superior in
telilgenee to properly eondnct a mixed or
diversified system of farming. Such a farm
er has something to do every month, week
and DAY In the year. And every hours time
spent Is made to pay, either directly, by
Saving, or IN improvements of nature that
Will count In money, or comfort, or intelli-
gence to himself and family.
There is always bright side to such farm
ing. If one crop fails, some other is sure 20
succeed. The farmer has every incentive to
excel in his business, and to take pride in
his home surroundings. And his family also
have reasons for liking country life, and
for rejoicing in the substantial independence
that is fostered by intelligence, nurtured by
remunerative industry, and enliyened by the
oulture of the beautiful and the good, in
dJors and out.

USEFUL HINTS Prof. Wilder of Cornell
University gives the following short rules for
action Ill cases of accident, which will be
found useful to remember -
For dust in the eyes avoid rubbing; dash
water in them; remove cinders, etc., with
the round point of lead pencil.
Remove water from the ear by tepid wa
ter; never put a hard Instrument into the
ear.
If an artery is cut, compress above the
wound If a vein is cut, compress below
If choked, get on all tours and cough.
For slight burns, dip the part in cold wa
ter; if the skin is destroyed, cover with
yarnish.
Smother fire with carpets, ETC.; water
will often spread burning Gil aud increase
the danger. Before passing through smoke
take long breath, ana then stoop low but
if carbonic acid gas is suspected, walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your mouth
is sore; or better, cut out the part without
delay; hold the wounded part as long as can
be borne to a hot coal or end of cigar
In case OF poisoning, excite vomiting by
tickling the throat, or by warm water and
mustard.
For acid poisons, give alkalies; for alkaline
poisons, give acids-white of egg is good in
most cases; in a case of opium poisoning give
strong coffee, and keep moving
If in water float on the back, with the
nose and mouth projecting.
For apoplexy, raise the heal and body ;
for iainting, lay the person fat.

Enrich the Soil.

Several months since, in two brief articles
the Ne,c England Farmer attempted to an
swer this question in part. The first opera
ton to which it referred was that of drain
age, as one which should take precedence Of
all others. The second was the mechanical
condition of the soil. This point is of SC
much consequence in the cultivation of the
earth, that further consideration of it can
not fail to be acceptable.
1t should be remembered that the elements
OF nutrition in the soil do not travel in the
search OF roots. They are quiet until acted
upon by some agent-water, air, ammonia,
alkalies, or something else.
1t is not SO with the roots of plants. When
ever there is sufficient moisture about them.
even if the ground is frozen. the roots are
probably always active. and in the growing
season are reaching forth for food. They
exercise choice in the course they take.
The root-as if it had eyes to see-bends an
grows in the direction of the nutriment, So
that he number, thickness and direction 0.

CHEAP WAY To MAKE VINEGAR.-I take
quite quantity of common Irish potatoes,
aud wash them until they are thorou ghly
clean, then place them in large vessel and
boil them until done. | now drain off care
fully the water that | cooked them in, strain
ing it if necessary, in order to remove every
particle of the potato. Then put this po-
tato water into jug or key, which |
place near the stove, or in some place where
it will be kept warm, and add one pound of
sugar to about two and one-half gallons of
the water, some hop yeast, or small por-
ton of whisky. Prepared in this way, and
letting it stand three or four weeks, you will
have most excellent vinegar. Indeed it is the
only vinegar that swill preserve cucumbers
cut fresh from the vines without the aid of
salt. IT | have not a plenty of pc tatoes,
when | am boiling them for family use put
on more water than is necessary to cook
them, and drain off the water and treat it as
above described, diminishing the ingredients
to suit the amount of potato water. The
whole cost of really superior vinegar made
in this way does not exceed six or seven cents
per gallon. Cincinnati Gazette

HISTORY OF HORSE RADIsH.-What brought
| horse radlsh into greatest notoriety was the
| following circumstances Between fifty and
sixty years ago, in Gray Inn Lane, London
was a vast mountain of years and years ac-
cumulated under dust. filth and garbage
and amongst Its vast and varied accumula-
lions were Immense plants of horse radish
growing right up through the whole, the
produce probably Of crowns cast from sculle-
rieS to the dust bin. Here it found ia vor-
able site; and as the mountain increased in
size and height, so did the horse radish, with
it's great strength and spare headed crown,
continue to thrust itself through it. Enough
at least did 50 to create establishment in those
days, and to bring the horse radish into
prominent notice for when this mountain
of refuse was removed, the immense length
and size of the horse radish root was discov-
cred.
They had no horticultural journal in those
days; but the London Times and other pa
pers prominently adverted to this wonderful
horse radlsb, and how and where it grew. 1t
was, indeed, real phenomenon, the leaves
being as large and thick as banana, while
ITS roots were as large and long as scafold
poles. How many hundred weight root of
1t weighed, it would be difficult to guess-yet
one root, as large as farm yard gate post,
was dug out and exhibited. The publicity
thus given To the matter, and the extraordi-
nary perfection the root attained 10 SO rich a
pasture, proved how simply horse radish can
be grown, and induced everybody to cult
vate it in earnest.
