Nocturnal Farming.

A young friend of ours, who for ten
years previously to 1871 was connected
with the commissary department of the
army, south and west, has lately been re-
quired to take the position of CoMmis-
sary General on farm not many miles
from this point. Being merchant also,
his duties on the farm requires some care
full squirting through the morning and
evening twilight. Of course he must be
up early; that was leading point with
him, and one on the achievement of
which he believed he excelled most veter-
ans about him. Early rising, in fact, be-
came his forte, and a sort of passion with
him, regardless of the quiet enjoyment
of the rest of the household.
One very rainy night the family were
awakened by the General coming down
stairs in regular basiness style. He put
on his rubbers, went to the barn, drew
water, gave the hogs their breakfast, and
then prepared the "slop" for the cows.
He was then heard to take the milk pail,
and away he tramped towards the COW
pasture. The family then hearing the
clock striking the lonely hour of one, be-
gan to suspect that the General, having
had his first nap, had supposed the morn
ing nigh, and was out on duty. A sister
tuC1C1O1CS 0AtCA uuV VOuASCA Will uCI
msther, made haste to go after the young
man so that he should not disturb the
Loccupants..of the fields as he had those of
the house. But she was too late, and
found the usually quiet cows running and
shutting, while the General was gently
and soothingly calling after them, and
shaking the bail of his slop pail to at
tract their notice, on his principle of as
sociation of ideas, wondering all the
while what the Old Nick was the matter
Of the cows. s4.L. ....

behave. I never had them act 80 before"

"Why, it has got TO be done," answered
G.
"Well, do you know what time it -"
"No! What time is it?
zone O'Clock" -...
II thought daylight was good while
coming" quietly responded the Commits
sary, and without another word he hastily
sought his quarters again. He has not
tried to milk by early twilight since

Dried Meat for Medicinal Purposes.
The american Journal Of Pharmacy
says: 1t is prepared by Daneucy, of Bor.
deaux, by cutting fresh meat finely,
spreading upon muslin, drying rapidly in
a current of air and rubbing into a brown
powder, which is almost inodorous, and
has slightly saline taste. 1t is really
taken by patients, spread upon bread, or
q teaspOOnful of it mixed with q
cupful of broth or soup, or by children,
If baked into biscuits.
Danger from Wet Clothes.-Few per-
sons understand fully the reason why wet
clothes exert such chilling influence.
1t is simply this: Water, when it evap-
crates, carries off an immense amount Of
heat, in what is called the latent form.
One pound of water in vapor contains as
much heat as nine or ten pounds of liquid
water, and all this heat must, of course,
be taken from the body. If our clothes
are mo;stened with three pounds of water,
that is, if by wetting they are three
pounds heavier, these three pounds will,
in drying, carry Off as much heat as
would raise three gallons of ice-cold
water to the boiling point. No wonder
that damp clothes chill us.-Hdndiergtt.
