KEEP STOCK WARM.

The advice which makes the head
ing of this article might almost be
said to be a stereotyped maxim for
farmers, so frequently does it appear
in all the papers Of the country, both
agricultural and those which have an
agricultural column. The philosophy
of the advice is that stock is much
comfortable when protected from Sc
we're cold, that it takes less food to
keep them, and that they do better,
and we should prepare in time for
winter. OF course it does not imply
that we should build our barns so that
they can be warmed by fires As gen.
orally understood by farmers, it means
batten your stables tight and keep out
all the cold.
Where this is done and no arrange
ment is made for supplying them with
fsesh air by ventilation, il is as bad or
posed to considerable cold. We want
to advise our farmers who keep stock
warm in this way to study physiology
enough to know the value of fresh air
to animals as we'll as men. There is
scarcely farmer in the country who
keeps his stock warm who does not
run into a worse extreme by making
them breathe air loaded with sfiluvia
for hours every day. Observe the
character of the air in the stables when
you open the door in the morning, and
you will be convinced of it.
We once heard sheep farmer say
that the best place to stable sheep in
winter was in q dry ten-aere lot, shell
tered from driving winds. The only
advantage in this was that they could
have plenty Of fresh, pure sir. We
heard another farmer say that, in win
teriOg twenty steers, he stabbed ten
and let ten go the stack all winter,
and the ten outside did the best. 1t
was easy to see, on examining the sta
bles, that ten of them had been de
prived of good air, and of course this
would keep them from doing well.
1t is a common remark among the
farmers that cattle running out all
winter, if well fed, come out in the
spring strong and in better condition
to grow, than those too carefully
housed. This appears to argue against
stabling them at all but when we
look at the matter closely, we find it
an argument in favor of fresh air,
cleanliness and exercise; and if we
take sufficient pains to supply this
condition to our stock that is stabbed,
we will then learn the true value of
tie maxim, keep your stock warm"

A GREAT TRIAL.

In the whole history of criminal ju-
risprudence, there has probably never
been anything equal to the gigantic
trial which was concluded at Moscow,
Russia, on the 21st of November, and
in which were arraigned five hundred
prisoners, upward of two hundred of
whom were convicted and sentenced
to cruel penalties. Among the accused
were persons in every station in life
gray-haired men and youths, men
and women among the latter some
highly accomplished and prepossess-
ing in appearance. All the prisoners
were charged with one of the gravest
offenses in the criminal code of Rus
sia-that of Russia. The code says ::
1.-THE person that cOunterfeits the coin
or currency of the Imperial govern
ment shall suffer DEATH" NotwiIh-
standing this rigorous provision, Rus
sia has been flooded for several years
past with we'll executed cOunterfeits
of the government treasury notes.
The prompt execution OF several who
were caught in passing the spurious
currency did not check the evil, and
for the last three years it became so
great that the Minister of Finance

SIRE TEST nF DEATH.

To learn with absolute certainty
whether a person is dead or not, DR..
Hugo Magnus suggests the following
simple method: Tie q strong ligature
around a finger or toe of the supposed
corpse, and if life is still present red
dening, which grows gradually dar-
ker until it becomes blush red, will
occur in that portion of the member
beyond the CONSTRUCTED point. Where,
from exposure or toll, the skin of the
finger has become very much thick.
ened, toe may be selected. On the
other hand, iflife is extinct, no change
in color will ensue. The blush coiOra-
ton of the nails so often seen on the
dead body, and also in certain cases
of blood disease, need not be regarded
as any source of fallacy; for after the
application of the ligature, as long as
life remains in the body, the whole
of the limb, from the place of con-
struction to the extremity, will be
uniformly blue-red; but if the colora-
ton do not take place, or only occurs
at at cireumscribed spot, it can with
certainty be concluded that the spark
of life has vanished.
The deep-seated arteries carry blood
to the extremities; the veins, which
are more superficial, return the blood
TO the heart. By the igature the
backward flow of blood is arrested,
when, if still circulating, it continues
to pass into the continues to pass into
the CONSTRUCTED extremity through the
arteries, and there aecumulating gives
rize to the peculiar color described
The object of the above proceeding is
simply to ascertain whether the blood
still circulates, as the complete stop
page of this function, according to
Mr.. Magnus, is positive proof of
death.
1t is recommended in the applica-
ton of this method that the large
limbs, such as the arms or thigh, be
not chosen, because the necessary
amount of construction cannot be so
readily obtained, the numerous large,
deep-lying veins of the muscles not
being sufficiently compressed by the
ligatdre. In case the fingers or toes
are not available, the lobe of the ear
may be employed.-ScientJfc NisceL-

FIGHT WITH A PANTHER.

The Portland Ors0ORidR recently
contained the following account of a
hunting adventure, which occurred
in that region " A professional hun
ter, named Reps, was out hunting
this week, on Martins Island, down
the Columbia. The hunter was ac-
companied by young hound only,
which started some animal a short
distance away in the dense brush.
Repzs ran from the thick timber in
which he was standing, toward the
edge OF the water. A clear space of
several yards divided the brush and
the river margin. On reaching the
bank, Repzs halted, and placed him.
self in an attitude of defense. In q
few minutes the dog emerged from the
timber, and came running toward his
master. Immediately following the
hound, and in hot pursuit, q large and
feroeious panther bounded in sight.
Reps raised his gun to his shoulder
and fired. The ball took effect in the
jaws of the animal, but it did not in
fiict any serious injury LOr retard its
progress toward the hunter. On firing
RepZs retreated into the water up to
his armpits. The wounded and in
furiated animal sprang after and
tackled the hunter. The dog came
to the rescue of his master, and made
it so warm for the panther that it
abandoned Reps and turned on the
hound. Reps waded out toward the
bank, turned around and fired the
second barrel of the gun at the pam
ther. The load was large buckshot,
and took effect in the panther's side.
The wound was very severe, but did
not entirely disable the animal, which
was getting the best of the dog. See
ing that the hound would soon be
drowned, Reps resolved to rescue it,
il possible. He had discharged both
barrels of his gun, and cast aside his
large bowie knife in the edge of the
timber when he started to retreat to
the water. No time, however, was to
be lost, and Reps sprand into the
river to save the dog. By this time
the panther had lost much blood, and
was growing weak from exhaustion.
The hunter, who was q powerful man,
seized hold of the panther's head, and,
after a fierce tussle,' broke its hold
on the hound. The panther now
turned on Reps. A long and despe-
rate encounter ensued between the
hunter, panther, and dog. At last
Reps succeeded in keeping the ami
mails nose under water until it was
quite dead, after which he drew the
body TO the shore, and tainted from
his wounds and exhaustion. The
hunter was severely laeerated in the
conflict, and has scarcely been able to
leave his bed since. The hound was
also badly torn"

THE LANDLADY,s COMPLAINT.

I've knowed what il was to have
women bOarders that find fault. There
is some of 'em would quarrel with
me and yerybOdy at my table; they
would quarrel with the Angel Ga
briel if he lived in the house with 'em
and scold at him and tell him he was
always dropping his feathers round,
if the couldn't find anthing else to
bring up against him. There's
nobody knows what woman that has
the charge of a family goes through,
but God that made her. I've done my
best for them that loved and for them
that was under my roof. Some
has always been good to me; some
has made it q little.Of a strain to me
to get along. When a woman's back
aches with overwOrking herself to
keep her house in shape, and dozen
mouths are opening at her three times
a day, like them little birds that split
their heads open so you can almost
see into their empty stomachs, and
one wants this ana another wants
fhat, and provisions is dear and rent
is high, and nobody to look to, then a
sharp word cuts, tell you, aud hard
look goes right to your heart. 1 have
seen a boarder make a face at what /
set before him, when had tried to
suit him Just as well as knew how,
and havn't cared to eat a thing all
the rest of that day, and I've laid
awake, without q wink of sleep, all
night. And then, when you come
down the next morning, all the
boarders stare st you, and wonder
what makes YOU so low spirited, and
why you don't look as happy and talk
as cheerful as one of them rich ladies
that has dinner parties, where they
have nothing to do but give orders,
and somebody comes and cooks their
dinner, and somebody else comes and
puts flowers on the table, and lot of
men dressed up like ministers come
and wait on everybody, as attentive
as undertakes at a funeral. Boarders
sometimes expect too much of the Ia
dies that provide for them. Some
days the meals are better than other
days it can't help being so. Some
times the provision market isn't well
supplied sometimes the fire in the
cooking stove doesn't burn so well as
il does other days; sometimes the
cook isn't so lucky as she might be.
And there is boarders who is always
laying wait for the days when meals
is not quite so good as they common
ly be, to pick a quarrel with the one
that is trying to serve them, soas that
they shall be satisfied. hope God
will bless all that sit at my table, old
and young, rich and poor, married and
single. My husband that's dead and
gone, always believed that we all get
to heaven sooner or later; and since
I've grown older and buried so many
that I've loved, I'ye come 10 feel that
should meet all of them that / have
known here-Or at least as many OF
'em as wanted tO-in a better world. |
And though 1 don't calculate there is
any boarding houses in heaven, / do |
hope 1 shall SONG time or other meet
them that has set around my table, |
one year after another, all together,
where there is no faultflnding with !

WASTE OF TIMBER.

1t is computed that twelve million
feet of hardwood timber are used an
nually for ties alone by American rail-
ways, and that seven million cords of
logs are consumed in propelling loco
motives. The estimated annual clear
ance of forest land is estimated at over
two million five hundred and fifty
thousand acres. With the constant
extension of population this tremen-
dous lnroad upon the timber land
must, perfoIce, attain stiIl greater pro-
portions, and the effect thereby on
the climate of the country, is becom-
ing a serious question that, if not
speedily attended to, may thrust itself
upon our notice in a way that will not
be agreeable. Scientists have not at
tanned full knowledge of the climatic
effects Of trees, but it has been pretty
thoroughly proved by practical expe-
rience that the presence or absence Of
forests has positive influence upon the
amount of rain. Since Egypt has
been plentifully garnished with fig
and orange plantations, it Is no longer
dependent upon the Nile for fruetifi-
cation of its soil. but is watered with
several inches of annual rainfall. and
the stripping OF the Apennlne range
is believed to be responsible for a
change of climate in the Parmese ter
ritory, where hot blasts of wind, for
merly unknown, are now Of injuri.
ously frequent occurrence. Wisdom
would, therefore, appear to inspire US
in this country to take active steps to
prevent any sections of our territory
from being afflicted with climatic
changes that may be guarded against
by such simple means as the pToduc-
ton of forest trees. Some few States
have already, by legislation, encour-
aged or enforced the planting of trees.
but the greater number have done
nothing in that respect, and the vas
territories which are just beginning
to be assailed by the woodman's ak,
are open to the same ravages that
have thinDed the timber giants in the
East. 1t should at once be the subject
of national oversight, to provide sub
stitutes for the forests which are daily
depopulated in obedience to the de-
mands of trade, and it would be well
if the several States would each oceu-
py themselves in supplementing the
| action ofthe central authority.-MeDl-

only be accomplished by due care in

was almost in despair. Offers of the
largest rewards did not lead to the de-
lection of the guilty parties. Changes
in the appearance of the treasury
notes did not do much good either, for
so vast is the extent of the Russian
Empire, that it takes the Imperial
government six months to eommuni-
cate its DEGREES to the remOtest parts
Of the eounszyse
At lengthS8n last July, a curious
accident gave the government the
long-looked for clue, which led to the
discovery of an association of crimi-
mails of both sexes, banded together
for the purpose of circulating spuri-
Gus currency, and which extended
from the bleak and frozen shores Of
the White sea 20 the VOlga and the
Black sea. In the course OF the fol-
lowing two months three thousand
men and women were arrested; but
after preliminary examination twen-
ty-five hundred Of them were dis
charged, and about five hundred were
held for trial. Among the latter were
six Frenchmen, Of st. Petersburg,
who had been caught printing the
hOANGf anu q NOAL aAA C
ly large number of women. The pris-
oners wers all conveyed to Moscow,
where they wTee confined in the vast
vaults underneath the Kremlin Pal
ace. Criminal law in Russia is bar
barous at the least, and the male pris-
oners were herded together like so
many hogs. They received the eoaIs-
est of food, and straw was their only
couch.
In the Goth of October the trial was
opened in the large hall of the Krem-
lin, which holds nearly five thousand
people. The proceedings were pro-
tracted for a month, and the prosecu-
tion succeeded in establishing the
guilt of nearly One-third of the ac-
cused. Two hundred and three of
them were found guilty, among them
about fifty women. Sentence of death
was passed upon the six French print
ers, and the other convicted parties
were condemned to hard labor in the
gold mines of the CTal Mountains for
life, or for ten years. The doomed men
and women burst into piercing shrieks
and howls, and well they might for
in case of the former, the sentence in
eluded barbarous nogging and brand
ing on the forehead with a red-hot
iron; while the women, some of
whom were of refined descent, shud-
dered at the idea of having 10 do the
most menial work for life or for ten
years at the station houses. In their
despair some of the unfortunates
threw themselves upon the ground,
and their piercing cries, mingled with
the clanking of their chains, produced
a truly horrible effect. The excite
ment and frenzy of the condemned
grew from minute to minute more in
tense, and the judges, in order to re-
store quietude, had to call in the SOL
diers, who with their Kantsehebs,
beat the prisoners right and left, and
then dragged tlIem back to the vaults
of the Kremlin.
