Fun and Astronomy.

DR.. Trail, of Philadelphia, has made
a very unpleasant discovery. In about
seven years Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
and Neptune will approach nearer the
earth than they have been in eighteen
hundred years, and the result will be a
pestilence. When Congress has the
manliness to make astronomy an indict-
able offense, then we shall have relief
from these things, but not before. 1t
was not long while since that some one
predicted that the earth would be
swamped with deluge, and you couldn't
borrow an umbrella or pair of rubbers
from any one. The next idiot said a
comet would strike and demolish the
earth in twinkling. Whereupon many
excellent people tied their beds and car
pets about their premises, and put cot
ton in their ears, and sat down on the
cellar bottom in dreadful expectation of
the shock. Hardly had his alarm passed
off when another astronomer came round
telling people that the Niagara Falls
would be dry in less than nineteen thou
sand years, and nothing would do but
that people should hurry right out there
for farewell look, and in less than
twenty-four hours there wasn't people
enough in Danbury to entertain Japan
ese hermit And now here is Trail with
four planets and no vaccine matter. All
the tobacco-chewers are to be killed by
these planets, and young ladies who
wear stays, and men who bet on the
wrong horse. If we understand the old
scoundrel correctly, the only people
saved are those who drink lemonade
out of dipper and play copenhagen
with their aunts.-Ddnbu1y Ne1Os.

4 Good Gun Of Coffee.

An old coffee-drinker tells an exchange
something about his beverage. Shall /
give you long-tried recipe-say for
two persons? We will buy our coffee of
grocer we can rely upon to give us
pure Java, and fresh-browned. Wewill
only buy small quantity-not over two
pounds-so as to keep it fresh, have it
ground, sent home, and Immediately put
into our tightly-closed canister. Now
we are ready for some boiling water,
which we first use to scald out the cof-
fee-pot we are to use in making it, and
see that it is perfectly clean then dip
into bowl two tablespoons full of your
coffee from your canister break an egg,
take one-fourth of both yolk and white
carefully with a teaspoon for, if the
egg is put i'll a cool place it will serve
several times add the egg to the coffee,
stir it, pour in little cold water, until
you can beat it thoroughly then have
three or four cups of water boiling in
the coffee-pot, and stir your mixture
of egg and coffee into it, setting on
where it is hot but only let it boil up
two minutes. Then set it where it will
keep hot, but not boil, and pour out
half cup Of coffee to clear the nozzle
of the pot, and throw it in again, which
will settle it ; and when your breakfast
is dished up you will have beverage fit
to set before a king !-Neao York Times.

Oats and Their Origin.

At meeting of farmers club, re-
Gently held at Cobourg, Canada, the
secretary gave some account of the orr
gin of oats and the countries where they
grow. Its native country is unknown,
but most probably it came from Central
Asia. There is no mention of oats in
the Old Testament we are told that
Solomon fed his horses and dromedaries
on barley. Oats were, however, known
to the Greeks, who called them BrOnaOs,
and to the Romans, who made use of
them as provender for their horses early
in the Christian era. The oats are bet
ter suited to a moist than dry, and to u
cool rather than to warm climate,
though their fields of cultivation do not
extend quite SO far north as that of the
coarser kinds of barley. In Scotland
oats are grown to the north point in
Norway their culture extends to north
latitude SO degrees in Sweden to lati-
tude 63 degrees 80 minutes in Russia
these polar limits appear to correspond
with those of rye; south of the parallel
of Paris oats are little cultivated. In
Spain and Portugal they are scarcely
known, yet they are grown with consid-
cradle advantage in Bengal.

AN ENrrRpRIsINa young farmer. living


An ENTERPRIsINa young farmer, living
in Illinois, who had little spare time
at his command, applied a year ago to
the New York Life Insurance Company
for an agency. The necessary papers
were forwarded to him and he made a
clean sweep of two counties. Since
then he has taken two more counties
and gone regularly into the business.
He says that it pays better than any
business he has ever undertaken, for the
plans of the company are so popular
that he finds easy work. There are
thousands of neighborhoods where an
agency for this grand old company can
still be had. If you apply, send full
particulars, age, former business, with
two names as references, to the head
office at 346 and 34S Broadway, New
York. - Com.

Small Horses.

The Southern Farmer says:
The arguments may all be in favor of
great size, but the facts are all the other
way. Large horses are more liable to
stumble and be lame than those of the
middle size. They are clumsy, and can
not fill themselves so quick. There is
nothing more surprising to Western men
than to visit Montreal and see the small,
but stout, Canadian horses hauling
large. two-seated carriages, full of peo-
pie, with apparent ease. A horse weigh
ing 900, in Maine, takes chaise, or
Concord wagon, with two men in it, and
makes fifty or sixty miles a day, over
hills that might have terrified Hannibal.
But their weight is where it ought to
be. 1t is compact, and not lying around

Trcatinp Bones.


A correspondent of the ohio Farmer
writes:
A few pounds of bones are worth as
much as wagon load of barn-yard ma
nure. The farmer may ask, "How shall
I get the richness out of these bones ?"
In the first place, when you prepare
your leach to get lye for making soap,
put the bones in the bottom of the leach
after you get all the lye out of the ashes,
take the bones OUT all of the softer
bones will now mash up very easily, but
those that remain hard must be boiled
in lye until they become soft; after
which they may be ground in corn and
cob mill, if you have one-if not, you
can mash them with hammer the
finer they are ground the better they
are. You now take this bone-dust and
sprinkle a very little of it about any
thing you want to have grow fast be
sure and put but little to a plant, as this
is q very powerful fertilizer.

A Tale OF Two Alligat0rs and the Tail
Of One

Shortly after the mail train over the
Louisville and Nashville railroad had
left Gallatin yesterday, coming north,
the mail clerks in the postal car, Messrs
Forsythe and Glasscock, proceeded TO
distribute the Florida mails, which they
had received at Nashville. After sew
eral bags of letters had been disposed
of, Mr.. Forsythe gathered on to large
leather bag filled with printed matter,
as was supposed, and, after unlocking
turned the sack upside down to empty
the matter upon large board arranged
for the purpose, when, to his surprise
and horror, two live alligators were
spilled out, and in an instant they leap
ed from the board to the car floor, and
ran beneath a lot of loose paper and
empty bags. The now frightened clerk
shouted "alligators" to his companion,
Mr.. Glasscock, and in few seconds
they had vacated the mail room for the
purpose of procuring help to kill the
monsters. Glasscock finally re-entered
the mail room, and slowly but cautious
ly proceeded to remove the loose paper,
when he discovered slick looking yell
low-spotted tail, resembling very much
the tail of a snake At this sight he
really declared the thing to be snake
and seizing poker near by he dealt it
q blow and cut the tail off. This caused
the alligator, as it proved to be, to leave
his hiding place and run out, when
Glasscock killed it. The other reptile
was captured alive and brought to the
city. Examination revealed the fact
that somebody in Florida had sent these
curious pets through the mail in a paper
box to somebody in Michigan. Mr.
Forsythe, who had been sick for some
time, was completely unnerved at the
sight, and for few moments was as
white as cotton. On.-LOMiSNiWe LedQer.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Ten Hen ana Chicken Rules.


The following ten rules, applicable to
setting hens and young chickens, were
contributed to the Mobile Registe, by a
lady:
/. Never set a hen in a close box !;
give her plenty of room to turn about +;
she will not do well if cramped or
crowded.
2. Always set her on the ground, if
possible. The eggs will hatch best with
the nest directly on the ground.
3. Don't give any hen more than thir-
teen eggs for a setting. 1 know fifteen
is the rule, but experience has taught
me to consider fifteen just two too
many.
4. Be careful to mark the eggs, for
other hens are apt to lay in the nest
with your setter, and unless the eggs
are properly marked you might not be
able to identify the new eggs. You un-
derstand that eggs laid to setting hen
must be promptly removed.
8. Make record of the time when
you set your hen, in order that you may
be looking out for the Matching.
6. Some eggs will invariably hatch a
little sooner than others. Remove the
young chicks ut once, and keep them
from the hen until all are hatched If
you do not, the hen will be likely to
quit the nest with the first comers,
leaving the unmatched chicks to chill
and die.
7. Don't pick at the bills of the little
chicks in an effort to remove what some
people call the pip" 1t is all right,
and will disappear so soon as nature re-
quires.
s. Never undertake to feed your set
ting hens on the nest-it is poor way.
Let them come off for their food.
They will not stay off too long, Nature
knows what she is about. am not sure
but the eggs require about the amount
of airing they receive while the hen is
off for food.
8. See that the hens do not run about
too much while the chicks are yet
young-it will cause them to droop, and
will sometimes give them disease called
"spraddles.
10. Feed your young chicks on corn
meal mixed with pure water, and don't
mix it too wet. You want it so it will
crumble.
