peculiar and peremptory significance as
to have become familiar to all who are
served by express. Anew Interpretation
of them comes to us from a correspond

pretty well grown, was the other evening
in a very ingenious manner urging on
me that she ought to have new cloak,

Is greater than many persons suppose.
Flour gains in weight about one-sixth in
passing into bread. But meat of all
kinds loses both substance and weight.
Nine pounds ten ounces of mutton
roasted is reduced to six pounds twelve
ounces, and the weight of the cooked
meat is only four pounds thirteen
ounces, just one-haf the weight before
roasting. Beef does not lose weight in
like proportion. Much waste may be
prevented by care, but a large portion of
food is wasted in any process of prepare
ton for the table. Eggs alone come
back to you with full weight, and if the
first cost is not too high, are conve-
nient, nutritious, and cheap article of
food.

AN UNEARTHED ANECDOTE OF TWO
FOSSIL POLITICIANS

AN UNEARTHED ANECDOTE OF TWO
FOSSIL POLITICIANS.
Nashville Correspondence Of the Louisville Courier
Journal.l .........
Foote and Davis were in Congress III
1848 while Taylor and Cass were candi-
dates for the Presidency, and occupied
room together at the Willard Hotel.
One evening, seated by the same Preside,
Mr.. Davis read aloud from political
letter of Gen. Taylor, and made running
comments for Mr.. Foote'S delectation,
which the latter thought were rather too
friendly for Democratic Senator to
give expression to in the heat of a can
vass. In fact he intimated quite strong
iy that he thought Mr.. Davis, at heart,
was a Taylor man that in spite OF his
professed support of the Democratic
nominee he would secretly rejoice over
Gen. Taylor's election. Mr.. Davis had
married daughter of Gen. Taylor, and
this little circumstance, Mr.. Foote sug-
gested, was Mt the bottom of his col
leagues compliment of the letter; add
ing, in his impetuous way, that it would
doubtless be very nice thing, after all,
to be son-in- law of the President-even
Wing President. Mr.. Davis could not
brook this sarcastic intimation of treach
cry on his part, and retorted in severe
language, one word bringing on another
until the "grave and reverend came to
blows. The noise of the fsticuff aroused
other Congressman, who rushed into the
room and separated the combatants, adj
monishing them of the shame which
would attach to two distinguished Sen
ators from the same State indulging in a
disgraceful knock-down. This view Of
the matter naturally brought the two to
terms, and like the man and wife who
"argued" the question of "rat or
mouse,"' they shook hands and made
friends.
Really" said Mr.. Foote, after a
smile all around; Greatly, should not
have thought of such thing as striking
Mr.. Davis if he hadn't passed the first
blow" .r- ." ..... ...
"Are you not mistaken about that ?"
urged Mr. Davis, apologetically.
"Indeed am not" retorted the i'm
petuous. .s....s
{" 1t is my impression you struck first, v
pleaded Mr.. d. ..',
ooh no, it was YOU"
Ono, it was you"
"But I'll s,oe0r it was YOU"
"And I would swear it wasn't"
"You did strike first"
"I did not strike first
"You did.
81 didn't"
"You did"
81 didn't"
"Well," said Foote, at last, rising
hastily from his seat, "there shan't be
any dispute as to who struck first this
time" and us he spoke dealt Mr.. Davis
singing blow on the cheek, which re-
suited in another rencontre that, but for
the interference of mutual friends, might
have been going on until now, for both
are "game" all over. The question as
to who struck first being thus settled,
nothing serious grew out of the matter,
especially as either party preferred to
have the matter hushed up speedily as
possible.

A Dangerous Atmosphere.

The great atmospheric wave which, the meteor

States from the Pacific coast at this season, is
loaded with unwholesome yapors that chill the

the liver sympathize with that organ, the nerves
and muscles are affected, pulmonary complaints
are engendered, and the spirits are less

produced by the moist, ungenial winds prevalent
in the winter months. But If the system is toned
and fortified in advance with Hostetter's Stomach

IT is now generally admitted by honest
physicians that when once the consumption is
fairly fastened upon the lungs, no human
power can save the patient from death. They
also say that about fifty per cent. of those who
die from this disease can trace the cause to a
neglected cough or cold, which might have
been cured by q small bottle of Liquid Opodel-
doc, or what is the same thing, Johnson's

CONSTIPATION or THE SUN.

p
Multitudes of theories respecting the
physical character of the sun once popu-
lar have been abandoned for more
rational views:
That the sun was an extinguishable
ball of fire, warming all regions of space
by its radiating caloric, was a current
opinion. But us it neither diminished
in volume nor became cooler, the theory
was abandoned for another quite as
ridiculous, which has had its advocates,
viz: That other globes in their revolu
ton round the sun were gradually drawn
into the fiery furnace, like fuel under
boiler, and thus keep up perpetual con-
flagration. That ingenious explanation
had the go-by at least, as time enough
had elapsed since the creation of the
sun, according to the Mosaic cosmogony,
to have consumed all the stars in the
Milky Way. They are still in their APP
pointed places, shining as brilliantly as
when Job and his comforters discoursed
ABOUT oFlOu ullu tIlt lclutleS.
The latest opinion, that the sun is sur
rounded by vast body of luminous
matter, the source of light in the solar
system, whether phosphorescent or not
still to be determined, has the support
of ocular examinations. From the rev.
Citations of the spectroscope it is very
nearly demonstrated that the compost
ton of the sun cannot differ essentially
from the earth. 1t probably abounds in
metals, has it's lofty mountains and
broad oceans.
When some rich man wishes to i'm
mortalize himself in the annals of science
by ordering the construction of larger
refracting telescope than has ever been
made, with an object glass ten feet in
diameter, we shall know far more of the
mysteries of the other worlds than has
ever been revealed by instruments in the
service of the Herschels, Lord Rosse
or any Observatory in Europe or
America.

Rasping Horses Feet.

A correspondent of the Canada
Farmer writes Rasping down the feet
nicely, as they call it, is quite passion
with some people. I have often rasped
the hoof, and the owner of the horse
standing by to tell when it would suit
him. This rasping of hoof that hap
pens to be little ill-shnped, until it
will spring under your finger, is far too
dangerous plan for making things look
well. I have often commenced on hoofs
that had d beautiful gloss all over, and
given them thorough rasping; not
that could make them any better, for
that was beyond the power of human
hands but they had to be rasped merely
becedse the owners mind was slave to
fa,hion or fancy. This rasping takes
the strong surface off the hoof, and
nature, trying all she can to make up for
the evil done by injudicious hands, forms
a hard, glossy surface to protect the foot.
The glossy surface takes the place of
the previous tough horn, and at the
next shoeing the foot will probably split
"a little at the nails, and not unfrequently
the nail punches piece out before it.

AGRICUL TURAL.


There are too many men who put their
all in single venture, and if that fails
are utterly used up. There is perhaps
no business wherein "two strings to
ones bow" is so important. In almost
all other pursuits there are certain rules
which have been founded on experience,
and which the shrewd man of business
can take advantage of, with an almost
assured certainty of success. But we
cannot do this. We cannot tell what
will happen to our crops Sometimes it
will be over dry, sometimes over wet
sometimes we are plagued with swarms
of insects, at other times we are afflicted
with blights and mold. Against none
of these things do we ever get the
slightest hint.
But we have dwelt on this recently, in
speaking of the value of diversifying
our products, Trouble never strikes
everything alike. Some will succeed.
Bnt, Independently of all this, the
young farmer should never be cast down
by misfortune. 1t is here where SO
many fail. We knew one, once, who had
made by city work some $4,000. He
had originally been brought up on a
farm, and had always made up his mind
to return to it as soon as he had accu-
mulated enough to warrant him in
making start. But he put away 81, 600,
and invested only 5000 in the farm and
stock. 1t so happened that the next two
wears found him in terrible losses ; but
they brought experience, and he fell
back on his small reserve, and this, with
his experience, gave him new and fresh
start. 1t is not so long ago; but he
now considers himself worth about $25,
900, and is one of the most ardent advo-
Gates of the proposition that farming
will pay.-Germsanto,on Telegraph.

A Scrap Book.

Every farmer should keep a book in
which to paste agricultural scraps.
Every one, in reading paper, will see a
number of things which he will wish to
remember. He will perhaps see sug
gestions the value of which he will de-
sire to test, or hints which he will want
to be governed by in future operations.
And yet, after reading the paper, he vii
throw it down and will probably never
see it again. In such case all the
valuable articles will be lost. To pre-
vent such loss, every reader should
clip such articles as he desires to pre-
serve and remember, and paste them in
scrap book. Such book, at the end
of a year or two, will be very interesting
and valuable,
