WE feel it a duty to inform our readers
that there is a favored spot in the interior
of California, desert about 100 miles
from San Diego, where catarrh is banished
in twenty-four hours, where the atmos-
phere is so dry that pail of water will
evaporate in one day, where there are no
dews, and people do not die, but only dry.
up Here live, according to report camp
OF Indians many of whom are from one
hundred and twenty to one hundred and
thirty years old! We regret that the
sources of our information do not furnish
the name Of this wonderful place.
A $4,000 Cow-It has often been said
that COWS, especially mich cows, never
sell for as much as they are really worth,
but A. j. Alexander, Esq, of Woodburn,
Woodford County, sold on Thursday, goth
OF May, a tWo-year-old heifer, known as
'The Duchess of Aidrie XV.," to go to
England for $4,000, which may be re-
garded as a sum not very far below her
real value. She is said to be "a beautiful
specimen of beautiful race" and it ap-
pears that the English breeders, having
heretofore parted with all their finest cat
tie, are now determined to have some of
them back at any price.-FrdnJort (ky)

LEMON JELLY-To the juice of one
common-sized lemon add one cup white
sugar and one large egg. Mix well to-
gether, put into coffee. saucer, and bake
in a very slow oven. The sugar must be
dissolved before the mixture is put into
the oven. When done, it will be clear
jelly. Frost the pie all over when filled.
Some substitute cream filling for lemon
jelly, but it is too sweet for most people.
When filled with cream, it is called "cus-
tard cake" You can make the sheets any
size and shape you choose. After FROST
ing, you can put spots of apple or currant
jelly over the top, improving the beauty of
the loaf much.
GREAsING HORSES FEET.-A writer in
the Canadian Farmer says: II had an
excellent opportunity of observing the
effect OF greasing the feet whilst working
In shop where horses were shod for
large undertaking establishment. The
treatment of the horses by the horse
sheer was the same as that of hundreds Of
other horses shod at the same shop; but
the feet of the funeral horses were creased
every time they went out to make them
nice and black; and, as the fruit of this
practice, the hoofs almost ceased growing.
They were exceedingly dry and brittle
The sole was not hard and glossy, as after
pairing, but of a dry nature, and in many
cases could be crumbled by the fingers"
WE do our very best to believe all the
queer stories that we find, for we could
not conscientiously present them to our
readers unless we believed them to be
true, but here is one that, we caution the
public, seems to us little doubtful. We
will not say it is lie but it is improba-
BILE. A horse in st. Paul, Mimi, drank
beer till he was in beastly state of in
toxication. His owner, knowing that his
previous habits were exemplary, thought
he was dead and skinned him. Next
morning CHASTITY steed, without hide or
hair, was found grazing on the public
common, and a skillful veterinary surgeon
is engaged in planting his superfcies with
hair from a neighboring tannery.
PLOwING PAsTUREs.-A correspondent
of the Name Farmer advocates from ex
perience the frequent blowing of pastures
for the purpose of renovating them and
increasing their product. He says: "Most
any OF our pastures plowed up and seeded
down will bear ton of feed to the acre.
And a fve-acre lot will, in four years,
yield twenty tons. Now, there is the ma
nure Of twenty tons of feed on this five
acres in four years. Turn this over and
seed again, and it will bear, at least, two
tons to the acre, which will make forty
tons. Now, this forty tors of feed on the
five acres Cattle kept on the ground) will
so enrich it. that on being turned over
and seeded again, it will yield an amount
almost incredible.
THE LENGTH OF DAYs.-The DAYS of
summer grow longer as we 90 north
ward, and the days Of winter shorter. At
Hamburger, the longest day has seventeen
hours and the shortest seven. At Stock
holm, the longest day has eighteen and a
half hours, and the shortest five and
half hours. At st. Petersburgh, the long
est has nineteen, and the shortest five
hours At Finland, the longest has TWEEN
ty-one and a half, and the shortest two
and half hours. At Wanderbus, in Nor
way, the day lasts from the twenty first of
May to the second of July, the sun not
time, but Swimming along very close to it
in the north At Spitzbergen, the longest
day lasts three months and half
SELFIsHNEss REBUKED- and
they are not a few, can remember old
Churchill and his peculiar ways. One
day he was riding on horseback, when he
was met by an old woman, who had not
so many of this worlds good things as he.
Taking out his wallet, he handed her
quarter Of dollar and rode on He had
ridden only a short distance, when he be-
gan to soliloquize thus: "Now wouldn't
| have done better to have kept that
money, and bought myself something's"
Wheeling his horse round he rode back
to where the old lady was standing, and
said: "Give me that money!' She hand
ed it to him, wondering what he meant.
Placing it in bis wallet and, at the same
time handing her a fve-dollar bill, he ex-
claimed: "1Aere, Self, noao guess you
aoish you had kept stszz.'
THE first excursion trip with train of
passenger coaches run by steam, in the
State of New York, was on the Mohawk
& Hudson Railway, from Albany to Sche-
nectady, on August 8, 1881. A sketch of
the locomotive, tender, and two of the
cars, was made by William II. Brown, one
Of the excursionists, and is now preserved
in the Connecticut Historical Society.
The carriages resemble ordinary old-fash-
Toned coaches, with outside seats for the
drivers, which on the first occasion of
their use of steam-p power were occupied
by the excuIsionists. The locomotive is
represented with four large wheels and
