Mamma.

Science has, so far, failed to discover
any way by which the Israelites could
be supplied with nutritious food short
Of miraculous dispensation. But no
one has yet discovered any source of
supply bearing proportion to the
quantity gathered by the soiourning
Hebrews. Several kinds of trees yield
something analogous, but it is glutinous
"a sort of viscid oxidation whereas
that which was found every morning in
the desert was clean, well-defned, dry
substance like coriander seed, says the
sacred chronicle A grove of tamarask
trees, near Mount Sinai, in the valley
of Farran, furnishes what the monks in
that vicinity call mamma. They are
bushy, about ten feet high, from which
drops of a sweetish thick fluid ooze. If
taken early in the morning, before the
sun is up, it may be kept in earthen pots
a considerable time. 1t is used in lieu
of sugar in the convent. Therefore, the
disbelieving in the miracle must extend
their researches still further if any ex-
pectation is entertained of explaining
away the positive testimony of the great
lawgiver Moses.

The Ocean Depths.

Until few years past nothing had
been ascertained with certainty concern
ing the character of the ocean depths.
1t was the popular idea that they were
wholly incapable of sustaining animal
life. Men conceived of them as a DESC
late waste, shrouded in eternal dark
ness, and subjected to such stupendous
pressure as to make life of any kind i'm
possible. Even men of science shared
IN the prevalent idea. They We're I'M
willing to accept the instances of ami
mails, comparatively high in the scale
of life, that were reported to have been
brought up on sounding lines from great
depths. The great ocean slumbered be-
meath the moon, covering region ap-
parently inaccessible to human research
and experiment.. Dr. Carpenter and
his colleagues, however, found that it
was possible to work with as much GER
tainty, if not with as much ease, at a
depth of 600 fathoms as at 100. Their
operations were carried to the depth If
nearly three statute miles miles with per-
feet success. The bed of the ocean,
comprising an area of lao, 100000 square
miles, is now added to the legitimate
field of natural history. 1t is no longer
barren waste, but a nursery of rich
and varied life. Its fauna in many
cases exhibits series of most elaborate
and delicate organisms, of exquisite
beauty in their soft shades of coloring,
and the rainbow tints of their marvellous
phosphorence, far SURPRISING the inver-
tebrate forms which TEEN in the belt of
shallow water that fringes the land.

Death of Jesse Grant.

The late Jesse Root Grant, father of
the President, died Of softening of the
brain and spinal column. There were
present at the time of his decease Mrs.
Grant, Mrs. Cramer, daughter of the
deceased, and children; Mrs. Ross.
sister of Mrs. Grant two OF
three friends of the family, DR.. J. c..
Beck, the family physician, and
the nurse, a private soldier, named
Berner, from the hospital department
of the Newport Barracks. Mr.. Grant,
of Scotch descent, was born in West
moreland county, Penn, Jan. II, 1874
On the oath of this month he had been
married fifty-two years, and six children
were the fruit of this marriage.
In the days of the Wing party Mr..
Grant was Wing, sans reproche. On
one occasion he was a delegate to the
Wing State Convention at Columbus,
and drafted the platform adopted Had
he been ambitious to fill a political
position, he could have had it; but,
though stout Wing, Lie kept steadily to
his business, and left the offices to
others. When the Wing party dissolved
he was out of his political element, but
acted with the moderate Democrats.
His Republicanism was of post bellum
origin. He was, however, a sound
patriot, firm Union man, and a good
hater of rebellion and rebels.
His appointment as Postmaster of
Covington was first made by President
johnson, with whom, in his conflict
with Congress, he heartily sympathized
at least till about the close of his adj
ministration and the break between the
President and the pro tenn. Secretary of
War. He took sides, as was to have
been expected, with his son, and from
that time forward voted with the Re-
publican party, sometimes attending its
conventions and making speeches, which
were noticeable for corciseness and
direct force.
Mr.. Grant had knack CT rhyming,
and threw off his verses, some of which
had good deal of dry wit, WITT great
ease. Some of his lines have found
their way to print. He amused himself
by writing rhymed letters, and for
man of his advanced age carried on a
pretty extensive correspondence. His
only writing for the press was a series
of photographed and family sketches,
printed in the New York Ledger some
years ago. Mr.. Grant was a good
citizen and pleasant neighbor, though
a man not to be compelled or easily
thwarted. He had tenacity of purpose,
and a stubborn will, which asserted
itself and carried its own points in spite
of opposition, and it was to this strong
will-power as much as to his constitu-
tional endurance that he so long resisted
disease and the shadow of the pale
messenger, who knocks with equal hand
at the door of the palace and the cot

A Good Apple Dumping.

Peel and core the apples and put them
IN two-quart basin. Make a crust of
either sour cream ard soda or with
baking powder, the same as for rice
biscuits. Put water enough to cook the
apples, and cover with the crust. Put
an overlapping cover over the basin.
and cook on top of the stove, or bake in
the oven if you prefer. A sauce made
OF butter, sugar, water and nutmeg. or
lemon, is excellent, as is also sweet
cream where the apples are not acid.
twenty-five minutes is long enough to
cook ordinary apples. This is sometimes
called Brother Jonathan Peach
cobblers are made similarly with peaches
instead of apples, and are best with
cream for sauce.

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIONS.
no man living has won more golden
opinions than DIR. Walker, as the enor-
nous and widely increasing sale of his
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs attests
We never look into one of our exchanges,
but there is panegyric of the Bitters
staring us in the face. Our readers will
say that there must be reason for all
this praise. They are right. The eff
cacy OF this celebrated medicine is es-
tabhshed by evidence which it is i'm
possible to doubt. Among the thou
sands who have borne testimony to its
excellence, there is not one dissentient
voice. In very many phases of inor-
game disease 1t seems to be unfailing.
All diseases arising from vitiated state
OF the blood are surely eradicated by it.
1t is an etfectual remedy for pulmonary
complaints, bilious, remittent and inter
mlttent fevers, rheumatism and dys-
pepsia. It purges the body of all un-
healthy humors, gives tone to the sys-
TEN, and where the vital powers are en-
feebled, restores their functions to Wig
orous and healthy action. All this it
does the more effectually because its
operation is not interfered with by the
presence OF alcohol. The VINEGAR BIT
TIERS IS perfectly free from any such
hurtful ingredient. We have always
believed that plants contain the true
remedies for disease, and all the rem
edles necessary. DR.. Walker is on the
line of real progress, and we hope that
he will not rest on his present discoy-
cries. CON-

Washing WOOIenS.

Ii you do not wish to have white
woolens shrink when washed, make
good suds of hard soap, and wash the
Hannels IN it. Do not rub woolens like
cotton cloth, but simply squeeze them
between the hands, or slightly pound
them with clothes FOUNDER. The suds
should be strong, and the woolens
should be rinsed in warm water. By
rubbing fiannels on board, and rinsing
them in cold water, they soon become
very thick.

Lines for Three Horses Again.

A Buckingham, Iowa, man says in the
Prairie Farmer:
In your last issue, I see a subscriber
wishes to know how to adjust lines on
three horses. Twill give him my method,
and if he don't receive plan from some
better horseman, he can adopt mine.
First of all, stand my three horses
together. I put line on the off and
one on the nigh horse. I take each in
side part of the lines and snap them
into the middle horses bit, each side of
his mouth, then take each outside
horses hitching strap and tie them to
the middle horses harness; so by this
plan you take I" all three horses in one
hand: If he has quiet horse that will
walk up" he can just tie him into the
middle horse hook on the tugs, and all
is right. This plan is a great deal bet
ter If man has quiet outside horse.
This is so arranged that if he wants to
hitch to the wagon, he has the two
horses together with the lines already
adjusted by the other plan. If you wish
to use two horses alone, you have either
to change one line, or remove the mid
die horse.

Electricity and Blasting.

The Aberdeen Free Press says that
an experiment was made with electrici-
ty as means of firing blasting charges
in Mr.. Flies quarries at Kemnay. A
huge breast of rock, calculated to
weigh about 1900 tons, was bored in
eleven places, charged and fired almost
simultaneously by current of electric
ity from battery which was under the
care of Mr.. David Wright, electrician,
Aberdeen. The huge mass was started
with little noise from the report, but
with rumbling noise like that of dis
tant thunder A second blasting was
fred the next day, and though the
ground was covered with snow, and a
heavy storm was falling, wires extend
ing 1,500 feet in length being laid, and
current of electricity being put on, in
an instant tremendous explosion was
heard, which shook the ground like an
earthquake. Great masses of granite
were upheaved in the air, and about
5000 tons were displaced. 1t is the
largest blast which has ever been wit
messed in these quarries, effected by
means of electricity applied by a
new apparatus most ingeniously con-
structed.

about thirty six hours, or until the seed

If seed is good the carrots will come
mp before any weeds. As soon as the
carrots show plainly, I dress over the
ground with hoe or rake, thus prevent
ing weeds coming up and, in fact.
never have any weeds. I always have
large crops of carrots, and with little
labor.
The secret lies in bringing the seed
nearly to the terminating point. and
then preparing the ground as stated, SO
SO that the carrots get the start of weeds.
Ii ground is prepared and lies a few
days before the carrots are planted. the
weeds will get the start of the carrots.
and will require great deal of labor.

among weeds, while mine were kept free
from weeds with less than half the labor.
L never plant carrots until the ground
is warmed by the sun. They then come
up quickly and are easily taken care of.

Some interesting experiments have
been made iu England and Sweden, un-
der the Supervision of eminent scientists,
relative TO the effect which the cold
weather exer,s upon the rails OF iron and
steel which are used for railroads. Con-
trary TO the popular impression, IL was
found thai when the thermometer is at
zero, the iron and steel are about three
per cent. stronger, and capable of bear
ing about that proportion more OF
weight than at 900 Fahrenheit, or ordi-
nary temperature. The reason assigned
tor the more frequent swapping ofrails in
the cold season is, that they lie imbedded
in frozen ground, and the impact of the
weight on the rails and their connections
is increased by this rigid support. These
experiments may possibly lead, at some
future time. to some means of prevsn.
tion for this frequent cause et pailwag
