When to Sow Blue Grass.

A Kentucky correspondent of the
American Farmer says: The best time
for sowing blue grass seed is in the fall,
with wheat, rye or oats. This brings
the grass up in tho spring Keep stock
off after you CLEAN the, field unfilS the
following june or July, at which time
you will have beautiful pasture. If
you wish to SOW in timber, use the same
quantity of seed, and "root" it in with
hogs. Sow q small piece at first, mix
ing in some oats, rye, or corn, to make
the hogs hunt after the grain then SOW
another piece in the same way, until
you have finished the whole field. Age
does not destroy the vitality of the seed,
nor OF any other grass seed, if kept from
heating. I have sown blue grass that
was six years old, and had been kept in
o bag in q dry cellar. 1t is almost i'm
possible to heat it. No one should SOW
seed of any kind that has been kept in
bulk during the summer months, as it
goes through too much sweating if kept
in heap or granary.. If spread on a
door, where tit can, get the airsall the
time, there is no danger. tis'S

DESTRUCTION IN DISGUISE. is a

acid astringents are often given for med

More drunkards have been made by
these villainous concoctions, labelled
medicines. than by the liquors of COM

Saltwater: forYithe Eyes,

Many persons are suffering pain from
weakness of the eyes. This sometimes
proceeds from local Inflammation and
sometimes from other causes. Several
persons who have been thus afflicted in
form us that they have derived almost
immediate and, in some cases, perman-
ent relief from the application Of salt
water as batf; and where the pain
has been aggravated, from compress
saturated with salt water laid on the
eyes, and renewed at frequent intervals.

in clean salt water has been found bene-
fetal to those whose eyesight begins to
fail.

given to the Revue Horticole his r1ethod
of destroying cockroaches, which are
found very destructive and annoying,

This plan is to take n package Of match

with this water by mixing it with %

OF sugar. Place this mixture where the
cockroaches will most readily find it,

Underground London

Underground, the city of London
is certainly the most wonderful in
the world. 1t is a labyrinth OF drain
pipes, water pipes, gas pipes and
underground railways. There are
points in the soil of London where
it would be extremely difficult to
find room for another pipe One
company alonc-the gas Light and
Coke Company-supplied two dis
triets with nearly 400 miles of pipes
varying in diameter from three inches
to four feet These are the main
pipes merely, and from them every
house and street lamp receives on an
average six or eight feet Of small
piping. In addition to these, and the
underground telegraph wires, there
are no less than $500 miles of drain
pipes of various dimentions. Less
familiar to US, but no less important
are the lead and iron tubes-leadeu
pipes with outer castings of iron
along which written messages, pack
ed in little felt and gutta percha causes
are blown from station te station.
The convenience of these messages is
immense. A steam engine forces in
blast of air, and in about q minute
it travels distance Of $50 yards.
There are at the present thirteen
stations underground railway; and as
the people walk upon the streets of
London, electricity is flashing mes.
sages above their heads, and little
missives are whizzing and darting
just under their feet. As many as

dou presents q world of underground
streets, some two or three thousand
in extent All the drains empty into
three great sewers running parallel
with the Thames, which sewers con-
meet in the neighborhood Of Victoria
Park, and through Barking Greek
discharge into the river Men are
constantly employed keeping these
drains in repair. Londoners never
pour pail of water down a drain
bat at the depths of that mysterious
aperture somebody is making way
for it. A stranger, properly costum-
ed, can explore these depths, which
resemble vaulted galleries, in the
sides of which are traps forming vari-
Gus small channels. When the
storm waters come, as they some
times do during a thunder-plump
the torrent is fearful; so much 50 that
upon several occasions men have lost
their lives.
