American kites, also, seen few rare
birds of the crane species, and only few
wild pigeons. There is an abundance of
quails and prairie chickens, and in some
localities wild turkeys.
There is beautiful species of red bird
that abounds here all the year. You may
60 out to the tangled wild woods at almost
any season of the year and hear them
singing " chorgie, chorgie." and whistlug
with all their might l have also seen a
species of red bird which only visits us III
the summer season. 1t is smaller and has
more brilliant plumage than his resident
cousin. Then there are the more common
kinds usually found in colder countries.
Then there is one kind that is new to me,
about which | want to tell you. 1t is
about the size of the black bird, and looks
very much like one, only it is brown. Then
again some of them have bright yellow
heads and necks, and some have dark
yellow heads and necks. l have not yet
learned the name of these little workers,
for they do work, and that in good earnest.
They almost always accompany, IN large
focks, the herds OF cattle in summer time
as they Craze on the green prairies. 1t is
said they DO this to catch the flies which
abound at such time 1t is said, too, that
COW or an OK will stand quite still some
times until the birds have picked the flies
all off of it. But you must come next
June and see the birds for yourselves, as

HYMENIAL.-We know that the .fairest
portion of our many readers will be interest
ed in the knowledge that the latest ripple in
London society is caused by the announce
ment of the approaching nuptlaIs between a
daughter Of Mr.. Anthony RothschildS, one
of the great bankers, and Mr. Eliot Yol Ike,
son of the Earl of Hardwicke and aid-de-
camp to Queen VictoIia's second son, the
Duke of Edinburg, Hymenial happenings
in . high life " perhaps are always interest
ing; but this case is especially 50, from the
fact that the bride is strict Jewess, aud he
groom just as ardent in his attachment to
Christianity; and neither will change faith
Among the Jews generally marriage with a
Christian entails social ostracsm-a feeling
that has perhaps more than anything else
enabled them to maintain their character
istics as peculiar people" But this
instance seems to be an exception to the
general rule and possibly under such circum-
stances this bymenial edi6ce so strangely d.
vided against itself may not ial.

WALL PAPER AGAINST TINFoIL-A NEW
METHOD OF ADoRNINC OUR HOUSES -Consid-
cradle progress has been made in the produc
ton Ct substitute for paper that would b.
a boon to hospitals as well as private houses
The new wall decorations to superseie pa
per hanglngs and pant are tim sheets Of
metal painted over by patented process.
They are artistic IN appearance, like most
French products, and said TO be durable
TintOll in sheets, thickness Of ordinary
writing paper, Is the material on which this
new style OF mural decoration, including
gliding, is executed. Tintoil is pliable and
supple, sufficiently tough not to be easily
torn, and offers u smooth and uniform sur
lace. 1t iorms an excellent base Tor tine
work executed upon it. Ii also possesses the
advantage OF being waterproof, a property
we'll known to architects and builders, who
frequently use it to cover mp walls, on
which, without that covering. any dccora-
:ive work would soon perish.
The process of executing the painting on
tin offers no diff :ulty. The sheets are man
uttctured Of width and in lengths suitable
To their application on the surface to b.
covered. At the manu- act0ry IN Paris the
ordinary widths made use of are from thirty
to forty inches, aud the length FIVE metres, or
rather more than FIVE yards. Inc apolc4-
ton of the painted metallic han5ln5s to
either wood, stone, plaster or iron surfaces
offers no d.ti ;ulty. rhe operation Is some
what similar to putting up paper hanging,
with this dltfercnce-that with the latter
the paper is pasted over at the back before
being hung, and with the former the surla C
to be decorated is covered with a thin coat OF
adhesive varnish, on which, after il has b3el
lett to dry partially, the painted tin is affixed
with great ease. So little is the difficulty
that any skilled paper hanger, can, after a
few hours practice, do the work success
fully.
From the extreme fexbility of tin'oil
mouldings and cornices are covered with the
metallic hanglnss IN most perfect manner,
and with smoothness of surface and
sharpness Of outline at the edge and mtrcs
which the painters brush cannot rival. The
varnish us, d f)r fixing the mlterial is OF the
nature Of gold slze, but more adhesive. Be-
ing of itself " hydrotuge" 1t adds To the
protection of the paint against damp. Ii all
this be true, we may well wish the pacen'ecs
success.

MULTIPLYING BY FIvE.-Figures are
extraordinary instrumentalities IN the ser
vice of mathematicians. With them they
measure the dimensions of distant worlds
moving swiftly in their orbits, and even
calculate the weight and density of a
planet with ST. tie and pencil. So accu-
rate are those calculations that were it
possible to place Jupiter in pair of
scales, they would verify their statements.
There is simple matter in figures
viewed without reference to laws, which
an infdel admits are Interchangeable and
eternal, but there is so much indicated
one must be willfully blind who does not
see that figures in the arrangements given
to them bear witness to unerring truths,
and carry the mind onwardIy to the con-
temptation Of the attributes of divinity
recognized in the physical construction of
a universe. Any number OF figures multi
piled by five will give the same result if
divided by two. But remember to add Il
cipher to the answer when there is no re-
mainder; and when there is, whatever it
may be, annex five to the answer. Multi
ply AGA by FIVE, and the answer viii be
$500 Divide it by two, and there will
be 232 There being no remainder, now
add cipher, and next 356, and multiply
by FIVE. The answer will be l,7S5. BY
dividing the first sum by two, there is
It's and remainder Place a five at the
line, and the result will be again 1875.
The sci ence of figures is an uuexplored
domain. Mr.. Babbage's calculating ma
chine indicated regions which the inventor
could not comprehend. Lap ace, Sir Isaac
Newton, and Levrer could not reach what
they believed attalnable by figures in COM
ing ages of scientific research.

A Doe THAT Is WORTH SoMErHING.-
A. B. Newman, assistant hght-keeper at
Mount Desert, is the owner OF u fine
Newfoundland dog, of whom we are told
the 70 lowing anecdote Mr.. Newman's
little boy, nine years old, strayed away,
and was missing for about two hours. The
mother went out OF doors and called to him,
when the dog, in response, ran up from
the shore with the boys wet cap in his
mouth, and signi6ed by hi. actions that he
desired her to follow him. The mother,
alarmed, called the father, who was sleep
ing in the house, and they followed the
dog as quickly as possible, Down by the
shore, on a rock, the little boy was lying
insensiblp, his clothes wet as if he had
been dragged from the water After long
efforts, in which the dog rendered all the
assistance he could in his mute way, the
boy was resuscItated, and atterward told
his story. He was on the beach gathering
shells when a large wave came in aud
carried him off in the undertow. The aog
jumped in after him, but the wave pre-,
vented him from reaching the boy for
some minutes. He seized him by the leg
of his trousers and tried to drag him
ashore. but the cloth tore in his teeth,
and the boy said he had an indistipct
recollection of the dog coming down
below the surface for him again, aud that
was the last thing he was conscious of. 1t
seems that the dog had dragged the child
upon the rock out of reach OF the waves
and had tried to restore him. When he
heard the mothers call be toob the cap tc
inform her, as we'll as he could, OF the
affair, and hasten assistance,

Though the crimson flush lasts late.

Changed is our thought of the grave old earth
That is keeping in trust our dead.

TEE MEADOW AND OTHER PERMANENT Pas |
TuREs.-We may be told that it is far too
soon to think of using the roll or chain har-
row; but it will assuredIy be found nearer
the mark to apply them when the ground is
in scottish state, toward the end of January,
than to wait until March or April. when the
surface is often SO dry as to leave no impress
sion whatever. By doing it thus early, you
f,rward the work at a period when you may
be able to do little else, and the use of a
heavy iron roller now forms the best prepara-
ton for the moving machine. Before roll
ing, the droppings of the cattle, and mole
hills (if any), need to be spread. 1t is also
good time to apply farm-yard dung, either
for moving or grazing. No doubt it will 90
in sooner if applied on the removal of hay,
and then get well washed by the July rains
but as the Cheshire farmer said, the best
time is g to put it on all the year round -
or, in other words, to apply it when you can.
Now it is not every one who has much spare
manure in summer; but at this season,
stock yard of long dung may very readily be
emptied during frost, and carted to a con-
venient part of the meadow; then place it in
good sized dung hill, adding one ton Of
guano, or two tons of half-inch bones to every
fl hundred yards of dung. By laying for

birds of Kansas. There are great many
wherever there are trees or groves. They
don't all leave us in winter. Ia this state
only few birds remain in winter-such
as the crow, blue jay, and the snow bird.

kinds in winter that we have in summer.
Besides these there are some new ones
that come in from the north to spend the
winter with us, such as the wild goose and

proves very fatal. A farmer by the name of
Woodson, living near Natawa xa. came near
losing his entire stock of five horses a short
time since. lie had fed them as usual at
noon with corn, aud they had all eaten as
hearty as ever; but in few moments after
ali five were taken suddenly i'll, ant began
swelling up like SO many balloons. One of
the horses died in a few moments. and the
others were only saved by the most diligent
rubbing and kind treatment. At first the
cause was unknown but it was afterwards
discovered that it was caused by these
worms.

the year 1872, based upon reliable data, are
as follows:
The average yield per acre, seventeen and
three fourths bushels, makes he total wheat
product of the State during the year not
less than 1000, 900 bushels. TIE amount
necessary to be retained within the limits of
the State for home cor sumption will hardly
reach 100000 bushes; remaining for ex
