head is q mournful fabric to contem-
plate. He loses his interest IN every
thing but a stove and handkerchief,
and were he called upon to give an e1-
precision. it wonld be found that ms
idea of heaven was a place where store
foundries and cotton mills were ABOUT
equally divided. His eyes are watery,
his skin drawn tight to his flesh, his
nose is swollen, of fiery red, and sorer
than a strange dog. What he mostly
fears is the draft, but IN spite OF his
most active endeavors he is sure to get
into it; and he is hardly able to con-
ceal his surprise at the pressure OF busl-
ness the family is subjected to, which
keeps the door open about two-thlrds
of the time, and establishes an almost
uninterrupted current OF air about his
legs. Screwed up back OF the stove,
with his nose like a beacon shining
above it, he patiently holds his hand
kerchief to the blaze, and finally slips
into q mental calculation as 20 which
will first lose Its moisture-his cotton
or his blood. There he sits all day,
with the handkerchief as flag OF truce
rendered by the fire in his head to the
fire in the stove, and at night he goes
scudding through cold hall, sneezing
at every leap. Long after every one
else is asleep he starts up with terrific
sneeze, and finds that his feet are stick
ing out below the quilts. and that the
handkerchief which he meant to have
carefully located for Just this emergency,
is nowhere to be found. This distress
ing malady is the Wandering jew OF
ailments, invades every household, and,
but few years since, could, with per-
feet impunity, snap its feverish finger
in the very face of medical science. But
the hydra-headed monster is now
brought under the most perfect control
of medical science, as demonstrated by
the almost instant relief afforded by
snufling few spoonfuls of DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy liquid, which soothes
and quenches the feverish heat as if by
magic, suddenly arresting the frantic
rage of this heretofore untamed barba-
rian, and, in twenty-four to thirty-six
hours, "Richard is himself again.

FOUNDER RE,IEDY.-To cure this dis
ease as soon as the horse is found to be
stiff swsb the legs and feet with hot
water-so hot that the hand cannot bear
to touch it, but not so hot as to scald.
After short time the legs should be
rubbed dry and the horse gently exer-
cised. Has never known this to fail to
remedy the trouble.

How To RING PIG.-I have seen in
my travels very good way of ringing a
pig. Although not exactly novel, it
may interest some of our younger
readers, and afford information to those
who may, perhaps, be unacqualnted
with the plan. / have often found ont
that much information is held back
because those in possession of it simply
think, "Oh, everybody knows it ;" and
so many good things are allowed to
slip. The best ring for q hog that L
know of is horseshoe nail beaten out
at tie thin end until it is as fine as wire,
which may be passed through hole
in the snout made with common awl,
and twisted two or three Iimes around
the head of the nail. This will effectu-
ally prevent grumpy" from roofing,
and at the same time does not hurt the
pig with sharp points
The main difficulty in ringing a hog
is to hold him during the operation.
This is done very easily by coaxing him
up to trough, and taking him by one
ear; he Immediately squeals, and when
the mouth is open moose is slipped
over the upper jaw, back of the tusks,
and drawn tight. The end of the rope
is passed round fence-post or anything
which may be handy, and the pig will
hold back, steadily hanging on the rope,
without making any other movement.
1t is then the work of an instant, having
everything all ready, to pierce the snout,
and insert and fasten the nail. The
rope is loosened, and slips off the pigs
jaw in an instant. Good-sized hogs
may be thus ringed by one man without
the need of any one beside the tools.

ROLLING WHEAr-A practical farmer
writes:-'I am strongly disposed to
favor the old practice of rolling wheat
ground after sowing, notwithstanding
the theory which Of late has gained
such extensive credence, and is SO gen.
orally practiced-that the ridges should
be left to be crumbled down by the
alternate freezing and thawing during
the winter and spring, and thus feed
the roots of the wheat This "crumbled
down" process takes place when the
action of the roots is wholly suspended,
and consequently they cannot be fed
by it, and the earth SO crumbled down
is nothing to the roots in reality but q
very insignificant mulch. On the other
hand, if the land be well rollod in the
fall, the earth is tightly compressed
around the seed, and the plant is thus
enabled to get better foothold the
roots are fed while they have an appe-
tite and will be less affected by the ac-
tion of the frost. The earth when
closely packed does not afford so many
harbors for insects, which will most
likely prove to be enemies to the plant
at some stage of its development. If
the surface be smooth it is less apt to
retain surface water, and in conclusion,
the practice of rolling is in strict accord
ance with the nature and requirements
of the plant, which thrives best on COM
pact soil.

An ENTERPRIsING GIRL.-A farmers
daughter commenced in the spring of
last year with 60 hens of the common
breeds and two cocks of the Cochin
family. From these she raised $50
chickens. During the season she sold
eggs to the amount of 500, aud from
September Goth to the 18th of January
she fatted and sold $50 pairs of fowls
for S260-thus receiving for eggs and
chickens $3.50. The time occupied in
caring for her poultry was..about two
hours day. The exercise was health
full, and the change from the monotony
of indoor duties was highly pleasing.
Now such a girl as this is decided
success" and worth higher premium
than any of the butterfly girls that
futter in our cities. We trust some
young, enterprising, go-ahead farmers
son will be successful in securing this
prize.

To TOBACCO GRowERs.-The golden
rule should be with tobacco planters to
MAKE as much as possible from the
smallest quantity of ground. This is
done by making the land as rich as
possible. The tobacco grown ON this
highly fertilized soil will be of a more
saleable quality, and the amount real
lied from the acre will be not only in
creased by the increased weight, but
also from the enhanced value per pound.
We believe that any soil, suitable for
tobacco can be made to yield, in any
State, as much per acre as is usually
obtained in the States of Connecticut
and Massachusetts. The secret of their
heavy products per acre of this crop
lies in the quantity of manure used,
and the superior cultivation, especially
in the preparation of the ground before
the plants are set out.

Agricultural.


EXTRACT OF APPLEs.-In some parts
Of Ohio new processes OF utilizing
apples have been invented and put In
operation which place the culture Of
this fruit upon an entirely new basis.
One process is of making apple-ielly,
and one of making ''apple-butter." The
Jelly is condensed product, requiring
a large quantity of apples for cores
ponding small amount OF jelly, and 1t
must, by consequence, be dear, and
perhaps it is neither as profitable nor as
popular an industry as the other. which
uses the whole of the apples with little
condensation. Apple butter differs
from the apple sauce Of New England
only in the manufacture. Apple sauce
is made, or it used to be made, by boil
ing down cider, that of sweet apples
usually preferred, and of adding pared
and quartered apples when the whole
was boiled Just enough to make the
apples soft, but not enough to break
down the structure. In making apple
butter the boiling is continued much
longer, and the whole mass is thoroughly
mixed together by constant stirring
until it becomes like mush, and the
more thoroughly this process is per-
formed the better is the quality, par
ticularly in regard to keeping. Both
preparations are kept in jars, and often
in barrels made for the purpose. The
chief defect of apple sauce was that
when warm weather came In the Spring
it was apt to ferment and become sour,
when it was necessary to reboH 1t.
Apple-butter seldom fermented, and if
kept in cool place it would remain
good for years. The commercial apple
butter factories provide first a cider
mill of improved structure and copper
boilers, with tanks for storage and addi-
tional treatment, all of sufficient capa-
city to work up 1000 barrels of apples
a day. The product.is packed in barrels,
when it is ready for shipment to any
part of the world, and if properly made,
IT Will keep as well as flour, pork, or
molasses, and it is as much of a cash
article as either.

A TRADE MARK DECIsIoS.-The value
of trade mark security to manufacturers
and merchants is forcibly demonstrated
in the following recent decision of the
Supreme Court, rendered in the Circuit
Court of the United States for the
Eastern district of Pennsylvania,
McKenna, Judge, in the case of the
Lowell Manufacturing Company against
Larned and Starr, which is of interest
as bearing on the law of trade marks.
The complainants many years ago be-
gan to send their rolls of carpet to
market with hollow wooden shell in
the center of each roll. This shell can
both be seen and felt. Becoming a
Distinguishing mark of the goods, they
continued its use and adopted it as
their trade mark, registering it as such
in January, 1871, under the act of July
g, 1870. Defendants copied it, and
complainants having brought suit,
pleaded thst it was an unpatented me-
chanical contrivance for rolling the
carpet and extracting the spindle. After
full argument, Judge McKenna decided
that the "shell' is a good and valid
trade mark, and complainants are en-
titled to its exclusive use, further de-
Gliding that defendants have infringed.
A perpetual injunction is granted, with
reference to q master to compute and
assess profits and damages.

The RUFFS OF LONG AGo.-A writer IN
Chambers Journal says that in the
time of Elizabeth ruffs sin their stiff
and formal shape were considered by
both sexes rather as the demonstration
of a grave and demure character than
an aid to beauty. 1t was not long after
their introduction that the younger
ladies, disinclined to conceal their
goodly necks from the eyes of their
admirers, opened the front of their
riffs, and elevated the part behind their
heads, thus incurring the censure of
that worthy dissector of abuses, Philip
Stubbs. A beautiful example of the
gorget, called in modern times whisk,
is shown in Vertue's print of Elizabeth s
visit to Lord Hudson here you see all
the younger ladies, including the Queen,
with their necks exposed. When the
use of starch and poking-sticks had
rendered the arrangement of a ruff
easy, their size began rapidly to in
crease. Those both of men and
women, writes Stow, "became intoler-
ably large, being a quarter Of yard
deep. This fashion was called in Lon
don the French Fashion but when
Englishmen came to Paris the French
knew it not, and, in derision, called it
'the English monster.

Scientific.

TIE OPEIoscoPE. is O new and
simple instrument, for the purpose Of
demonstrating the pulsations of sound.
Take tube of any material, from one
to two inches in diameter, and anywhere
from two inches to foot or more IN
length. Over one cad paste a piece of
tissue paper or a thin piece of rubber
or goldbeater's skin either will do. In
the center of the membrane, with drop
of mucilage, fasten bit of looking
glass not more than an eighth of an
inch square, with the rejecting side
outward, of course. When dry, take it
to the sunshine, and, with the open end
of the tube at the mouth, hold the other
end 80 that the beam of reflected light
will fall upon the white wall or sheet
of paper held in the hand. Now speak,
or sing, or toot in it. The regular
movement of the beam of light with the
persistence of vision presents very
beautiful and regular patterns, that
differ for each different pitch and in
tensity, but arc quite uniform for given
conditions. If tune like "Auld Lang
Syne" is footed slowly in it, care being
taken to give the sounds the same in
tensity, series of curves will appear,
one for each sound and alike for given
sound, whether reached by ascension or
descension, so that it would be possible
to indicate the tune by the curves; in
other words, it is true phonautograph.
By trial one can find some tone which
causes the membrane to vibrate in a
single plane, and of course a straight
line will appear upon the screen. If,
while the sound is continued, the tube
be swung back and forth at right angles
to the line, the sinuous line will appear
which may be either simple, represent
ing pure and simple sound, or it may
be compound-sinuous, showing over
tones, precisely as in konig's mano-
metric flames.
With the lecture room darkened and
using the beam of light from a porte
lunaiere or from lantern, these may be
projected of an immense size. There is
no trouble in the world in making them
eight or ten feet amplitude or more if
needed. At distance of but three or
four feet, the curves will spread ont to
two or three feet in length when tone
is made to which the tube can reason
ably respond.

Domestic.

TABLE Er1ouErrE.-The correct way
is for the one who sits at the head OF
the table to help first, the first lady on
the right: next the first lady on the
left, then the second lady on the right
then the second lady on the left, till all
the ladies at the table are served. Then
repeat these attentions, in the same
order, till the gentlemen are served.
The gentleman should always serve his
wife before he begins to serve the gen.
tlemen AT the table, but not till all
other ladies at the table are served.
1t is not etiquette to snatch at plate
before it reaches you, and begin to eat
as though famished, but leisurely,
socially commence eating when the food
is ready, and handed you. Poiteness
does not require that person should
sit at a table till from five to forty
guests are helped, and till the food to
be partaken of has become cold.
II a person is an expert, or even Q
good carver, the fowl or meat should
be carved at the table while the guests
are chatting and indulging in social
conversation, but if motif the meat
is to be haggled, and cut into chunks,
and the joints only to be discovered
after several guesses, explorations and
disappointment, all carving should be
done on a side-table before the guests
are seated. The rule is to have dinner
pass off pleasantly with nothing tc
make the partakers thereof nervous ol
unsettled.
It is not necessary to go into costa
cies at the table over the pickles, the
sweet cake, the coffee, the meat, etc.
ETC., lest people think you never had
anything to eat before, or set you down
as fatterer. But an expression of ap
probation of the meal is not out o.
place, nor would it be out of taste to
quietly ask the host or hostess how
such dish was prepared.
Remember this. 1t is not polite ol
good breeding to make excuses to YOU
guests at the table. To say that the
"bread is not baked through" the bis
cults have too much saleratus in them,
'.the potatoes are soggy," ''the coffee
is poor and unsettled" "the meat is
tough or poor, ''the top of the pepper
box never stays on" or that "my
dinner" or breakfast is not fit to eat.
All such remarks are in very bad taste
and mean one of three things. That
your food is not fit to eat, or that yor
wish to spoil the appetite of your guest:
by preiudicing them against what you
set before them, or that you are fishing
after forced compliments.
In entertaining guests, you are only
required to do what you can convent
emily to make them feel at ease and tc
make them comfortable, that their stay
may be pleasant, and their visit ever
remembered with pleasure.
Never invite people to visit you un'
less you want and expect them to come.
1t is not right for one to become In
sincere simply to be fashionable or to
invite persons to his home who are moi
wanted there.

EvERGREENs AMONG PEAR TREES
Hon. E. H. Hyde, Vice-President of
the Connecticut State Board of Agri-
culture, planted a number of small
evergreens in circular form around
some pear trees, simply for ornament,
intending to keep them down in the
front of hedge, and allow the pear
trees, :" for effect" to appear above
them. The plan was neglected after a
while-as many such plans are-and
the evergreens soon outstripped the
dwarfs, and lowered up above and
nearly encircled them. 1t came to be
noticed after a while that while the
pear trees away from the evergreens
were irregular bearers of rather inferior
fruit, those within the circle were almost
invariably prolific, and the fruit was of
superior quality. There was no other
apparent cause for this result than the
influence of the evergreens, hence the
inference in favor of ofprotection would
seem to be just one
