severe storm nj Halifax.

HALIFAX, Aug, GA Severe storm
passed over this city Saturday night and
Sunday morning doing considerable dam
age. The gale was the heaviest that has
been experienced for many years. Most
of the shipping in port was prepared for
the gale and rode it out. Several small
vessels were smashed at anchor. The L. S.
frigate Powhattan was dragged from its
anchorage at Cunard wharf and drift
ted to the ordinance wharf where she
was secured. The steam was kept up all
day Sunday in readiness for any emergen-
cy. The particulars and effects of the
storm have not come, but it is feared it
will be bad news from the country and sea
coast The steamer HibeTnian arrived
from England and Newfoundland Satur-
day night and brought Miss Bird and
party of destitute English children, fifty
girls and fifty boys.
The steam ship, st. Louis, Capt. Perez,
with a general cargo form Liverpool for
Philadelphia, struck Job rock on Cape
Pine, in a dense fog on Sunday the tenth
and sunk, the crew escaped in boats and
arrived safely at Trepassy, and came TO
st. John by the steamship Leopard.
HALIFAX, Aug. 2s,-Dispatches from
Sidney report that thirty vessels We're
driven ashore in that locality. Many
buildings were Frustrated and the crops
throughout the country devastated
Bridges were also washed away, the tidal
wave being ten feet high. Fifty vessels
at Con Bay are all ashore. The Cunard
steamer Alpa is there with steam up and
anchor down. She succeeds in holding
down the breakwater but is badly damaged.
The destruction to shipping at Con Bay is
frightful

Trout Culture.

A spring that produces as much wa
ter as will run through an inch square
hole will supply pond 20 by 30 feet
square, or 600 square feet surface, and
keep the water below Ga deg. through
the summer, and if covered with house
or boards so as to shade the water eff
fectually, it may be double this size.
1 have one of this size, shaded, sup
piled with an inch stream, and the tenn
perature never rises above ga deg, and
the trout are always perfectly healthy
in it,. When the spring or stream will
fill four inch square hole, then the
pond may be fifteen times as large, con-
tanning 1900 square feet, or pond 80
by 100 feet square, and so on, accord
ing to the size of the stream. For grow
ing large trout the water should be from
eight to fifteen feet deep, for small ones
from two inches to five feet, according
to the size of the trout. An inch stream
running through two perfectly arranged
Matching troughs, will hatch 100000
spawn, and grow them till about II
inches long, when part of them, from
time to time, must be put into another
stream. This stream will grow 10000
trout the first year, 1000 the second
year, and 500 the third year, thus de-
creasing rapidly in number as they in
crease in size. A 16-inch stream might
hatch 1900, 900 trout grow 100000 the
FIRST year, $4,000 the second year, and
5000 the third year, and 5000 or 1000
the fourth year that would average one
pound each. Young trout, till from one
to two inches long, do much the best
in shallow water. say from two inches
to three inches deep but as they in
crease in size the water should be in
creased in depth. By the first of No
ven Der, if well fed, they will be from
three inches to five inches long. At
this time the water may be increased
to the depth Of three feet.-Ro6iason.

Riches and Pleasures. n

These truths are well illustrated in
the anecdote told some years ago OF
two men who were conversing about
John Jacob Astor's property. Some
one asked if he would be willing to take
care of the millionaire's property-ten
or fifteen millions of dollars-lmerely
for his board and clothing? "No /"
was the indignant answer. "Do you
take me for fool 2" "Well," reioined
the ether, "that's all Mr.. Astor himself
gets for for taking care of it he's found,
and that's all. The houses, the ware.
houses, the ships, the farms, which lie
counts by the hundreds, and is often
obliged to take care of, are for the ac-
commodation of Others" "But then
he has the income. the rents of all his
large property, five or six hundred
thousand dollars per annum." Eyes
but he can do nothing with this income
but build more houses and warehouses
and ships, or loan money on mortgages,
for the convenience of others. He's
found, and you can make nothing else
out of it."
If rich man wishes to be healthy,
says Sir William Temple, he must live
like poor one. Isaak Walton tell us
shat there are as many troubles on the
other side of riches as on this, and that
the cares which are the keys of riches
hang heavily at the rich mans girdle.
How many men, on reaching the pin
nacle of wealth, find, as they look down
on their money-bags, that they have
only purchased one set of enjoyments
by the loss of another equally desirable?
" Do you remember, Bridget" writes
Charles Lamb, with tender retrospect
to his poverty, "when you and /
laughed at the play from the shilling
gallery? There are no good plays to
laugh at now from the boxes" Many
bir Epicure Mammon, as he sits down
with jaded appetite to his lobster salad
and champagne, thinks with keen re-
greet of the simple repasts which titilat-
cd his palate when he was poor. The
great railway king, Hudson, Seasted
with dukes and duchesses in their big
house at Albert Gate, looked back with
many sigh to the days when they ate
sausages for supper in the little back
parlor behind their paltry shop in the
city of York.
Nothing in the abstract seems easier
than to get pleasure out of money; yet
to many persons nothing is apparently
more difficult. 1t seems delightful to
be able to buy every thing you wish,
without q thought of the cost yet who
does not see that the pleasure must pail
in the degree that there is no difficulty?

Rich Scene in a Smoking Car.

An amusing incident occurred recent
lyon the smoking car of a @. @. G. and L
Railroad train between Shelby and this
city. a woman with poodle dog en-.
tered the car just prior to the departure
of the train from the former point, and
after depositing the dog on one seat,
turned over the back of another one, so
that each faced the other. Together
she and her canine companion thus
monopolized two entire seats.
Appearances seemed to indicate that
the car was one exclusively for the con-
venience of those addicted to the use OF
the "weed," but of this fact she was
soon appraised by the conductor, who
advised her to obtain seat in another
car, informing her at the same time
that the accommodations in the way OF
seats in the other coaches were superior
to those where she was then. However,
she insisted on remaining, urging that
her presence would deter the occupants
of the car from smoking, and she would
consequently experience no discomfort
from tobacco fumes. Long before the
train reached the city, however, gen.
tleman sitting directly in front of her
produced his case, and taking there.
from cigar, began putting away at it
IN manner which seemed peculiarly
calculated to aggravate the woman back
of him. In an instant, by strategic
movement, she wrested the obnoxious
cigar from his mouth and threw it out
of the window, exclaiming, IF there
is anything I do hate, it is tobacco
smoke"
The passengers who had Witnessed
the affair we're convulsed with laughter
bnt the offended smoker suppressed
whatever emotions may have been
struggling for expression in words or
action, and maintained throughout the
same imperturbable gravity which had
characterized him from the first. Calm.
ly rising from his seat he opened the
window nearest him, fastening it up,
a, i reaching over the seat back of him,
took that woman poodle dog and threw
it ont of the window as far beyond as
possible, at the same time saying, eli
there is anything do hate, it's poodle
dog!'
The scene which followed beggars
description. The car resounded with
peal after peal of laughter, and as the
extreme righteousness of the affair be-
came apparent to the principal actors In
if, they too joined with the rest. De-
suite the regret incident to the loss
81 her dog, the woman could not repress
her inclination to laugh at the unex,
.a,cted finale OF the affair. Cincinnati

Agricultural,
Sayy6ust.

The London EteId, one of the highest
authorities, says of sawdust: 81 litter
the horses on it to the depth of nine
inches, raking off the damp and soiled
surface, every morning, and spreading
evenly little fresh, removing the
whole only four or five times & year. Its
advantages appear to be many, of which
I viii state few which give it, in my
estimation, its greatest superiority over
straw. 1t is peculiarly beneficial to the
feet, afording them a cool, porous stuff
ing, a substitute for the soil OF earth we
always find IN the hoofs of a horse at
grass, and presents the nearest resem-
bIance to the horses natural footHg-
the earth. We never had diseased
foot since the introduction of sawdust
in the stable, now some years since.
Horses bedded on sawdust are also
freer frsm dust and stains than when
an ordinary litter, simply because saw
dust is better absorbent, perhaps, and
testify their approval of it by frequent
" lying down for hours in the day. 1t
has also the recommendation of being
uneatable-an advantage which all in
charge of horses with the habit of eat
ing their litter viii readily admit

Seed Potatoes.

An old Maine farmer, in giving his
ideas on seed potatoes, says that we use
too ripe seed when we propagate from
tubers that have lain in the ground IN
til dead ripe. He says that "plants
that are propagated by tubers require
different treatment from those propa-
gated by seeds. Our corn and grains
that we use for seed we like to have
stand little longer than the main crop,
and become perfectly matured. On the
same principle our corn is selected from
the ripest, best-developed ears and
kernels. But potatoes for seed should
be dug and placed in 8 cool, dark cellar,
just as soon as a majority of them will
slightly crack open in boiling. This is
most invariably while the tops are yet
green aud growing fast. The tubers are
then in most vigorous state. Discon-
uect them from the parent stalk at that
time and they retain their vigor. In
stead of deteriorating, as most of us
know the older sorts have, their vitality
is increased, and they yield better, with
less tendency to rot. As long ago as
1915, and subsequently, observations
led him to make some experiments to
test the theory, and he finds it the prop
er course to pursue.
Is it not often said that the late
planted potatoes are better for seed
than those planted early? The late-
ness OF their planting, presumably,
prevents perfect ripening, hence the
principle of the above reasoning would
be IN force

Good Points of a Cow.

l. Youth. A COW is in her prime at
from four to six years, and the best pay
ing time to buy Is just after the birth

,. Prominence and fullness of milk
veins, and velvety softness OF skin. The
milk veins run down on either side of
the animal toward the udder, and are
easily perceptible to the eye, or can be
readily found by pressure OF the hand,
if the animal is not over-fat. The skin
should be soft and mellow, not hard,
rough, and staring.
3. Symmetry, fullness, and softness
of the udder. 1t should be broad, well
spread out. projecting behind the legs,
and also reaching forward under the
belly. There should be softness and
thinness to the touch, and an absence Of
fieshiness and thickness.
4. Perfect number and condition OF
teats. If one teat is wanting, about q
fourth less milk viii be the result. A
cows udder Is not, as some suppose, a
barrel with four taps, but is divided IN
to four different compartments, called
81 milk glands, each of which has ITS
own tap or teat. It is not only impor-
tant that the full number of teats be
present and in working order, but If is
desirable that they be well placed not
crowded toge ther, but pretty far and
uniformly apart; rather long and taper

Brushing off the Bloom.


Il made Lulu a blue satin overslzirt
fer Clara Toilets party" said my friend
Mrs. Symons, holding up for my admir-
ing gaze dainty affair fit for Titania's
wearing. YoG ought to have seen
her, the mother went on. "She wore
this over white dress with three puffs
and Is rufies her hair was crimped, and
she had on the sweetest little white kid
slippers. The party was really a stylish
affair-supper from Lamira's, colored
walters, and everything superb. All
the little boys had on kid gloves, and
bouquets in their button-holes, and the
flowers that decorated the parlor must
have cost ever 50 mach money. We
sent for Lulu at half-past II, but they
begged rs to let her stay for one more
dance, so it was nearly 2, after all, be-
fore she was at home and In bed. Ten
year-oId Lulu, with pale cheeks and
large brown eyes, listened eargerly to
her mothers description of the scene.
''Part of which I was" shone in the
somewhat triumphant look with which
-..s surveyed the dress she had worn,

she saw it put back III the wardrobe.
To my inquiry whether she had not
been very tired after it, she answered,
90 Oh no, I could have gone the next
night" And I quite believed her
American children, with their nervous
organizations, respond quickly to excite
ment. 1t acts on them as bellows on
a fire, and for a while the flame only
burns up more wildly and brightly be-
cause of the stimulus dissipation gives.
Ashes, sooner or later, end most fires,
and blase young people, taking a Ian
guild half-interest in everything life
offers, are the legitimate product of I'M
acknowledgement childhood. If, after the
children's party, they only would come
down TO breakfast exhausted, dumpish,
dull, and cross, it would be a thousand
times better for them and for us.
Mothers would probably waken to the
fact that late hours, snowy dressing,
and II o'clock suppers We're hardly the
best pabulum for growing bodies and
developing brains. If you do say yes

and monogram which presents master
John Smiths compliments to Miss Mag

against your Judgment, you fabricate
for your debutante a costly and beauti-
full dress, you still have one resource
left. Don't, in the name of common
sense, talk about the dress before the
child. Whether it cost three dollars or
thirty. whether the lace it is trimmed
with be cotton or thread, whether she
looks well or i'll in it, put it on, and say
no mora about it than if it vere a cali

way of saving the bloom. Hearth and

TIE New WORLDS GRAND Remedy
The Old World has played its part in
vegetable medication. But the botany
of the New Werld is as yet imperfectly
explored. Our new and most important
revelation from the land of wonders
California-has astonished the scienti-
fic, and accomplished such cures of dis
eases of the stomach and bowels, bill
ious complaints, malarious fevers, ner-
vOus affections, and all diseases proceed
ing from a visiated condition of the
blood, as have never before been wit
messed.
Before WALKER's CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BITTERs all the alcoholic and mine
raj medicines are rapidly falling into
disuse. They can not resist the over
powering evidence brought forward
every day, of the immense superiority
of this medicine Not a drop of any
variety of distilled or fermented liquor
or mineral poison ever enters into its
composition It is gentle aperient, a
tonic, derived from entirely new vege-
table sources, an uurivalled stomachic,
ADMIRABLE in all pulmOnry diseases
and, in fact, so near to universal RENE
dy as botanical discovery and scientific
skill can hope to attain. DR.. Walker
considers 1t cure for all diseases not
organic, and really the great variety of
diseases to which it is successful seems
to warrant the opinion. Every family
needs such a remedy. It saves pain,
anxiety, and doctors bills. We know
what trouble it is to keep the bowels of
children in order, and any remedy that
will strengthen and regulate their weak
and variable digestIons must be do
nestle blessing.
