misunderstanding.

The recent poisoning in New York,
caused by the reckless use of vermin eek.
terminator," deserves the earnest atten-
ton of housekeepcrs. Three persons
died and several others were seriously
Frustrated from the effects of this pre-
posterous blunder. The DEVELOPMENTS
at the inquest give startling exhibition
OF the ignorance and carelessness of
servants, and show how liable families
are to fatal accident in the kitchen when
constant supervision is not exercised by
the mistress OF the house. The particu-
lar exterminator used in this case was
Paris green, one of the deadliest of min
eral poisons, and the testimony shows
that 1t was employed in entire ignorance
OF the danger incurred. Enough of the
substance was scattered about the
Kitchen to kill regiment-the only ex-
cuse for such an invitation to disaster
being a desire to rid the premises of
reaches. Very likely the reaches were
killed by such vigorous treatment, but it
is miracle that the whole family was
not as summarily disposed Of AS it
was, the consequences were sufficiently
dreadful. The poison was found scat
tered veryWhcre-among the dishes,
among the knives and forks and on win
dow-sills, where breath of air might
scatter it into articles under process of
cooking Such foolhardincss is almost
incredible, and the carelessness of the
head of the family in permitting such
practices equally so. The travail of
Hooking after" servants is often seri.
GUS one, but experience constantly shows
that it cannot, either in safety or com
fort, be rclaxed.-CAicogo Tribune.

warm water for a THE to dissolve ous all
the glue, and the new fabric is produced
in all its completed condition. To rem
der the rubber or gutta -percha more last
ing it may be combined with sulphur so
as to vulcanize it, for which purpose a
solution Of chloride or hypochloride of
sulphur in bisulphuret of carbon may be
employed. In using bisulphuret of car
bon forty parts of the same are to be
added to one part of chloride or hypo-
chloride of sulphur, prepared as neutral
as possible, and the solution is then al
lowed to remain in contact with the arti-
fetal skin of rubber or gutta-percha a
longer or shorter time, a minute being
sufficient for thin sheet. This opera,
ton must be completed, Of course, be-
fore immersing in warm water to remove
the glue which produces the adhesion of
the hairs. One great advantage Of this
process consists in the fact that
fabrics thus prepared are moth proof,
and it is suggested that for many pur.
poses, such as the construction of rugs
mats, ETC., they must be superior to the
natural skin. In the case of heavy skins
the artificial preparation is much lighter
more pliablc, and better in every respect
Several of these artificial skins may be
combined so as to form one, or they may
be modified in any manner desirable
When properly made the preparation is
entirely free from any smell, and espe
cially the animal odor, which is so often,
siyc to many furs.-New York Tribune.

are thus infected The worst
feature of devotion to money-getting is,
that it necessarily destroys leisure, and
excludes alike the possibility and the
idea of rest. A man cannot serve two
masters. If material things engross
him, the cultivation Of the intellect, in
it's broader and higher sense, must be
put aside, and the education of the heart
must cease. These require time, and re-
pose, and meditation; men must be con-
tent to lie fallow, for the highest quail
ties are developed and strengthened not
of set purpose, but insensibly, and un-
consciously, just as the thirsty earth
drinks in the rain or rejoices in the sun
light. TO business men, therefore, rest
is essential if they are to be anything
higher, or better, or nobler than mere
men of business, money-making ma
chimes, accumulatOrs. Those who are
the most successful are most in danger.
Nothing deadens the heart or dims the
soul so much as uniform prosperity, that
brings with it increasing desire and in
ccssaht care for the growth, and disposal,
and safe custody, and cultivation of
wealth. A reverse in business is often a
real blessing, however much it may seem
to be disguised, Or however painful it
may be at the moment. 1t forces
a man, so to speak, back upon
himself; makes him think and re-
fleet; leads him to look beyond the
windows of the golden prison house ;
sets him ycarning for the peace that is
born only of rest we'll used. In such
times men do feel great desire for re-
pose, for some respite from the endless
| struggle to amass riches; and whenever
this feeling is aroused it is a benefit in
calculablc, hcalthful medicine, breath
of pure fresh air sweeping in as from
the mountain side, or the heather-clad
moor, and purifying the close and sickly
atmosphere of business life. If among
those who read these pages there is one
secretly conscious that he belongs to the
class above described, let him look into
his heart and say if he has not some.
times felt Il longing for rest, even in his
highest and fullest tide of success. At
some moment, surely, his wealth has
seemed as if it were mere dust and
ashes, or the dried, dead leaves of fairy
land, worthless in comparison with the
fresh dream of youth-strong, rcsolutc,
untaltcring in aspirations; pure in mo-
tive; clear in purpose; unsclfish in de-
sign; looking forward to the full frui-
ton of manhood, born of honest but not
excessive labor; and to the calm repose
of age. l can fancy such man feeling
how empty and joyless is all that he has
accomplished, turning with sigh from
the wcll-tilled Golfer, the thick bank
book, the piles of scrip and shares, and
looking with longing eyes to the bless
edness of repose, with it's vision of the
summer glory of the isles of the sea,
purple, azure, golden, crimson, suffuscd
with long calm lines of light-the glow
of heaven irradiating the sweet green
earth, and kindling the waters into a
many-colorcd flame of celestial bright.

is no other animal that converts its food
so soon into food for human beings. Sec
ondly, a pig is an omnivorous animal:
that is, it can feed and thrive on both
animal and vegetable substances; it is
not very particular, and consumes with
some relish almost any offal from the ia
bic, from the dairy, and from the kitchen
and garden, which can be scarcely
utilized in any other way, with
which it eats the grain of the field, the
grass and clover of tue pasture, and the
acorns OF the forest. Therefore almost
any family can raise and fatten one or
two pigs with scarcely any expense what
ever. Thirdly, pigs are accused of being
dirty and filthy and fond of wallowing in
the mud. This is a calumny, for scarcely
any of our domestic animals keeps it's
stall and it's bedding as clean as a pig.
provided the latter is not compelled by
the carelessness or by the ignorance Of
its owner to sleep acd to deposit it's ex-
crements at the same place, but is pro-
vldcd with good, dry, warm, well-lit-
tered and well-ventilated pen to sleep in,
and with yard which it can walk into
at its own pleasure. Further, there is no
animal that is more fond of being brushed,
rubbed, washed and petted, or that en-
joys good bath in clean, fresh and cool
water as much as does pig, especially
in the summer, when daily bath is SO
essential to the health of the animal. A
pig takes bath in a mud-pool only when
no other opportunity is left.-C0r. Cha.

A Gypsy Divorce.

A CAMP of gypsies is near Washington,
and Republican reporter has visited it
and talked with Gitana, a gypsy maiden.
We quote:
eve suppose you are human beings,
and have to get divorced?"
Sometimes; but it's dreadful thing
with US to get divorced. 1t causes grief
and mourning, and blood has to be
she'd"
"Well, pray tell us how you get di-
Il know am talking too much" and
the Gitana trembled as she spoke; but a
half dozen bright silver quarters thrown
into her lap seemed to give her assurance.
II know / am talking too much, but I'll
tell you. 1t is this way: When man
and his wife are to be separated it is
done by the sacrifice of horse
"One is picked out which is entirely
sound and free from bruisc or even a
scratch, and he is led out to the spot
where the divorce is to take place, and
exactly at twelve o'clock. The men cast
lots for the one who shall kill the horse,
and for this occasion he is the priest.
The priest takes long pole in his hand
and walks around the horse several times,
and in loud voice praises his good quail
tiles and names all the persons who have
owned it,
1.-The horse is then led into the tent of
the woman who is to he divorced. If he
kicks round and jumps about the woman
has been very bad; if he keeps quiet she
has not been so bad. The priest then
takes large knife and stabs the horse to
the heart, and when it is stretched out on
the ground the husband takes his place
on one side of it and the wife on the 9TH
er. They join hands across the horse,
and repeat some sentences in the gypsy
language. They then walk three times
around the horse in opposite directions
"The last time, when at the head of the
horse, they face each other and speak,
and do the same thing at the tail They
again shake hands and separate, one 60
ing north and the other south. She new
er marries again, and has to wear mourn
ing veil, and big shoes on her feet The
heart of the horse is then taken out,
roasted, sprinkled with brandy, and eat
en- by the husband and his friends. The
horse is then buried on the spot. The
husband can marry again"

Corn Raw and Cooked.

The time will soon come when farmers
will want to begin to fatten stock for the
tall and winter market. The object will
be to turn a part of the crops of the sea-
son at least in this way. The question
that comes up for consideration is, How
shall this be done to the greatest profit?
Take, Tor instance, some facts that have
been given, setting forth experiments that
nave been made to show that the cues
ton is not only shall VIC turn our corn
into pork, but how shall the corn be fed
to the greatest advantage? Shall it be
fed whole, or ground, or cooked? Ex-
perlments have been made when every
thing has been equalized to show the
comparative value of corn fed raw and
cooked, whole and ground; and in one
case the result was that five bushels of
whole corn made forty-seven and three
fourths pounds of pork; five bushels
ground (less tolD, wet with water, made
fifty eight and one-half pounds; and the
same amount Of meal boiled and fed cold
made cighty-thrcc and one-half pounds.
In the first case the amount of the corn
fed equaled the value of the pork when
1t was fattencd, and in the last the pork
equaled the amount of corn fed and gave
a profit of one dollar bushcl IN addi-
ton. Any one can see that the profit
here came from the boiling of the meal;
and that if, feeding the whole raw, grain
would give profit as it usually does,
this would be greatly Increased by cook
ing.
In another experiment ten bushels of
corn on the cob fed on the ground made
Twenty-Five and onc-half pounds of pork.
The same amount shelled and coarscly
ground and cooked made sixty-four
pounds. These facts are given officially
and can be relied on, and the results here
stated should be considered and remcm-
bered, and their instruction applied.
Another experiment was tried under diff
ferent circumstances from those men
toned above, but q like result was
secured. The raw corn fed whole gave
return of $109 per bushel, the cooked
meal that of $1.65 per bushcl.
The results, like the above, of expert
ments might he given to almost any ex-
tent, but enough has been said to show
the direction in which profit lies for the
farmer if he will take it.
The machinery for cooking for stock is
simple, and the work of doing it is light.
A little preparation in advance made at
odd spells will make it convenient to
cook the daily rations for stock as it is
needed. We have done this ourselves
with no particular hindrancc to our other
work, and have been abundant]y satisfied
with results. If one would feed his
grain to the greatest profit, no doubt it
should be done in this Way.--Ohi0 Farmer.

The Treatment of Hair or Fur.

REFERENCE has already been made to
method OF utilizing feathers of barn.
yard poultry, wild fowl. etc., in the prep
aratlon OF loose fiber to be worked up
into felt cloth, blankets, etc. The fol-
lowing describes a somewhat cognate in
dustry having reference to new mode of
treating fur. This forms the subject of a
communication by Mr.. Joseph Tussaud,
who is at present one of the proprietors
OF the celebrated wax-work establish.
ment IN Baker street, London, founded
by Madame Tussaud. The attention of
Mr.. Tussaud was first called to the sub
)ect by his desire to transfer the hairs of
tur.bearing or other animals to wax fig
ures without including the skin in which
they were inserted. After numerous ex-
perlments he succeeded in accomplishing
this and developing, as already remarked,
kneW industry. The great object
which MI. Tussaud aimed to secure was
the removal Of hair or fur from the skin
and then attaching this to an artificial
SKIN, obtaining thus a more perfect de-
gree OF preservation for any purpose
whatever, while retaining the hairs in
thelr original and natural relationship.
For this purpose the piece of fur to be
treated may be soaked in lime-water or
other suitable liquid, as practiced by tan
ners, Tor the purpose of loosening the ad-
neslon OF the hair. tits then to be washed
