FARM AND GARDEN.

HAY TEA FOR CALvEs.-A farmer who
had a calf of value and no milk to give
it was advised to give it hay tea. He did
so and the calf is reported as doing fine.
ly, though it has neither received hay
nor meal since he got it. He cuts the
best and finest hay he has, about two
inches long and pours boiling water over
il; let's it stand until cooled to about
the heat of milk from the COW, when the
tea is given to the calf and the hay to
the COW. Both calf and COW thrive on
their feed, We have fed a great deal OF
hay tea to calves, with good results,

A BIT OF There is many
a shady nook and corner in the vicinity
of country homes which might be beau
tilted with very little e&pense-northern
exposures, where the sun seldom shines,
aud which are left bleak and bare be-

Any time harness the old horse and
start for the woods to hunt up suitable
material for what our English friends
term ga pleasing bit of rock-work. "
An unusually rough stone, all over an

let such form a load to begin with,
Next collect a supply of the unctuous
leaf mould which has lain buried be-
meath its covering for many years, until
it has become as dark and firm as the
most fastidious plant can require.
These things, with the addition of
some good sharp sand from the creeks
margin, supply the groundwork for the
structure. In arranging the stones mr.
or the heap of soil do not attempt any
mathematical precision endeavor to
initiate some shelving mass of rock,
such as may be found in nature /; the
wilder and more irregular in outline,
the more effective and appropriate il
will prove. With the advent of spring,
repair to the woods, and wherever the
little curling fronds of the ferns are
just peeping above the leaves, with the
aid OF a strong trowel carefully pry out
a good ball of earth, roots and ALI and
transfer them to their artificial home.
There are also many other pretty and
modest native plants which will thrive
luxuriantly amid Just such surround

Young America in California.

The girls of IL California seminary lately
developed singular fancy for using three
one-cent stamps instead of the regular
kind, upon their envelops. The letters
Were SO very plain and matter-of-f fact; and
the attempts of evading surveillance in the
old-fasliioned way grew so scarce that one
inspecting teacher investigated this whim.
And 10! the cunning creatures had taken
to writing tender, emotional little epistles
to their lovers under the stamps.
A Sacramento gentleman lately saw a lit
tie boy leaning against a post in the eastern
portion of the city, putting energetically at
a full grown cigar, and succeeding in draw
ing from it quite volume of smoke. He
felt such evident interst in what he had un-
dertaken, that the citizen concluded to in
terview him, and, accordingly, drew ci-
gar from his pocket, went up and asked
for a light. The boy aceeeded to his re-
quest with an assumption of manly courte-
sy which he probably had studied carefully,
and seemed to be gratified at attracting at
tention. Then ensued the following con-
yersation: Well, young man, where do
you buy your eigarss'' 81 buy 'em down

QUANTREL.
The Kansas Desperate Alive and in
Texas.

A gentleman lately arrived from northern
Texas states that he has conversed during
the. past winter with Gen. Quantrel, at
Sherman, Texas. He is now residing, and
has been, since compelled to flee from Kan
sas, some distance west or southwest from
Sherman. He is in the stock business.
Many of his gang and quite a number of
other outlaws, are also residing i'll the same
section of country, and engaged i'll the
same business since the war. Government
detectives have frequently been ON their
track during the past two years but several
who have ventured into that country have
not been heard from since. Quantrel ad-
mited to this gentleman, who is perfectly
business man, that the greater portion Of
northwestern Texas is inhabited by a des-
perate class of men, and that anything the
Government might do toward alresting them
would prove futile as they are thoroughly
organized and equipped for defense; be-
sides, being perfectly acquainted with the
country, they could make their escape sue
cessfully into Mexico. He says they are
peaceably disposed, but most of them are
residing there under assumed names.
They have men employed at principal points
of Denton, Clay, Cooke, Montague, and
other counties along the Kansas border,
who apprise them OF anything that may be
going OH tending to their apprehensions.
He also says that there are some very bad
men there which may account for the base

How a Teacher Stopped a Train.

On Monday of last week, says the Albany
Argus, there was an occurrence on the Har-
lem Extension railroad that is worth re-
counting. About nine in the morning of
that day serious collision---a collision be-
tween girl and train of cars-was avoid
ed in Il very singular and daring way.
The girl is Il school teacher, and she was
on her way to school. The train was from
Chatham, on its way to Ruthland. Both
met on the tTeStle- work near Brainard's S sta
ton. The girl stood still, while the alarm
ed engineer whistled down breaks, and
managed TO stop the train only when the
engine was in ten feet of the obstruction.
The trestle work is 36 feet high and bears
only one course Of ties and only one track.
What do you mean-do you want to be
killeds'' inquired the engineer. ''No,"
said the girl, ~ am going to school. !"
"Well, go back until the train crosses the
trestle,'' said the engineer. II can't"
said the girl, sim late" ''Step aside
then," and she stepped aside, outside the

space was too narrow; the engines
wheels would not clear her expanded skirts.
Her next plan was to sit down, with her
legs dangling beneath the ties, but thus the
hoops spread all the wider. Provoking de-
lay for the ngineer-humiliatin failure and
posture Of the schnnl marm !" Hold on -
said she, '.fll fix it, and then, gathering
up her limbs and her skirts, she stretched
herself at full length upon the outer edge
of the ties, scizing underneath with one
hand the string piece to which the rail is
spiked, and coolly bade the train pass on !!
In a minute the train passed over the pros
trate form without jar or jolt, and the next
instant the girl was ON her feet, Fastening
toward her expectant pupils, before whom
she was determined to be son time,'
though she disarranged a dozen railroad
timetables. ~ zsE .. I=.

The WOODEN Mills of Oregon.

In Oregon there are five woolen mills:
one at Dallas, one at Salem, one. at Oregon
City, oneat Brownsville, and one at Phoenix.
There are but three mills now In active
operation-those at Salem, Oregon City and
Brownsville. The Mission and Pioneer
mills of California are the largest on the
coast. Next in size and capacity comes tile
mill at Oregon City. From this it will be
seen that there arc six mills in California
which are smaller than the one at Oregon
City, The latter mill started as a tl1ree-set
one. but is now "a seven-set, with 2. 500
spintiles and "a broad looms. Last year it
used up 100000 pounds Of, wool, which,
when manufactured. was represented by
130.ae1 yards Of cassimercs and l2fl. 600
yards of fiannels ;.ild of blankets The
value Of all these is about $500 400. There
are 100 hands employed, Of which 70 are

The Marve1s of Mechanics.

During the last siege of Paris, the inhab-
itants from time 10 time effected commune
cations with their friends beyond the
German investing lines by means of carrier
pigeons In fact, a regular pigeon post
was organized, having one of it's receiving
stations in London. Here the written mes
sages for Paris were received, and by pho
tography, reduced to microscopic size, each
letter being reduced SO small as to be invisi-
Bile to the naked eye except us q speck.
Some two thousand of these specks were
then printed on bits OF tissue paper about
an inch and half square, which was rolled
and carefully attached to one OF the tail
feathers of the pigeon. On the arrival of
the bird in Paris, the postal officials placed
the paper under the microscope, which en-
larged the several specks into readable COM
munlcations, which were duly copied in
writing and delivered to the persons to
whom they were addressed. The total
postage received for the transmission of one
of those tiny bits of PAPER frequently
a9aoas ssed to two thousand dollars.
Small as this photo writing seems, it has
been surpassed by mechanism. In q recent
number of the Lens, DR.. ]. J. Woodward,
u. ). A, gives an enlarged photograph Of
microscopic writing done by machinery ON
glass, by means of diamond, executed by
Mr.. Vim. Webb, of London. The writing
consists of the Lords Prayer, which is
written upon glass, within space equal to
one two hundred and ninety-fourth part Of
an inch in length by one four hundred and
fortieth part Of an inch in width or the space
perhaps equal to the dot in this letter i.
The photograph given by DR.. Woodward
shows this dot of writing enlarged SO as to
occupy space of about two inches long by
one and a half inches broad All the words
are brought legibly out on the photograph,
the total number of letters being 227: and
such is the exceeding fineness of the original
writing that 80, 431 ,45S letters written in
the same way would only cover one square
inch of glass surface. The combined Bible
and New Testament contain in all 3, ,5G6, 450
letters; hence it would be possible for Mr..
Webb to write the entire contents of more
than eight Bibles within the space of one
square inch. Two specimen plates contain
ing the microscopic writing above alluded
to have been supplied by Mr.. Webb for the
United States Museum. Their cost was
fifty dollars each.
The Webb machine, however, does not
equal, in the iineness of it's writing or per-
feetion, the prior instrument OF MIR. n.
Peters, a wealthy banker of London, who,
as long ago as 1855, was able to write nearly
three times finer than Webb. So perfect
was the Peters machine that it was compe-
tent to engrave the entire contents of the
Bible and New Testament twenty-five times
over within the space of a single square
inch.

Love is the Pole Star of Woman's
Heaven.

From the cradle to the grave the line of
affection is unbroken. 1t begins with the
mother and the doll, and ends with man OF
God (these are easily convertible to her)
often the God i'll man, or the man in God.
She instinctively and inyoluntarily idealizes,
and from her idealization ascends her wor-
ship. Supremely personal, she wants per-
sonality. If it be lacking, she creates it.
Emblems help her to do this; hence she
delights in emblems She hates distractions;
they are meaningless to her. The concrete
is the food of her heart she would not bar
ter flush of sentiment for a field of science.
slight caress is dearer than principle of
devotion. She is a poet and an artist from
her passion for beauty and joy in form.
Manners, modes, graces, colors, perfumes,
sounds, stir and intoxicate her. She is
sovereignty sensuous and yet profoundly
spiritual. Full of outward inconsistencies,
she has yet inward harmonies to which man
us, in double sense, a stranger. Her heart
and conscience are such neighbors that the
troubles of one disturb the peace of the
other. Her friendship, reverence, worship,
consecration, sacrifice, spring from the same
source. Countess Matilda Of Tuscany,

would be destroyed. With their mental
eye, they see Jesus, gentle, sad, beautiful,

spirit of love, and forget the tenets. There
is no fundamental difference in cultured

doctrines easily and gracefully L is said
that Catholic women instinctively, insensi-
bly,, have Jesus in their prayerful thought
more than the Virgin, while the men of the
church appeal to Mary; which is at least
natural, since affinity for sex is the principle
of creation. Divinity generally succeeds

Who Invented sausages.

A correspondent asks lis this question:
"Who was the inventor of sausages? ?''- We
answered: 1t was not known. Julius Caesar
claimed to be the inventor, but historians
and commentators have universally secuted
his claim. There is no doubt in the minds
of the best Informed writer's on the subject
but that the Germans were the inventors of
the sausage, and that Caesar in his wars
against the stubborn German tribes became
acquainted with their way of making the
sausage. On his return to Rome, after
crossing the Rubicon, he tried to induce
the inhabitants of the imperial city to adopt
it as an article of food, but the Romans
were rich, they fed on luxuries garnered
from the lands which they had conquered,
and they rejected the sausage On the
morning of the day of his death at the hands
of the conspirators, Caesar sadly informed
his wife that imperial Rome was tottering
to it's fall, and that fall was hastened by its
rejection of sausages. It is singular and
extraordinary fact-one noted by the great
historians Simanides and Gibbons, and
Niebuhr-that no nation has been great
military power, in modern times, which did
not make sausages one of its prime articles
of diet. The recent war between Germany
and France proves this. Seyenty-five years
sausage, then they overran Europe But
like the Romans, they took to injurious
living, and the downfall of Ia bale France
followed. The Germans have always been
a warlike nation. They have ALWAYS been
eaters of sausage. The greatest general of
modern times, Moltke, dimes upon sausage
three times day. He says that no man
who is not a lover of sausages can ever
make % great general. Some years ago he
was called upon while at breakfast by a
young officer. He, was eating his usual
meal of "wurst and pumpemiekel, and
asked the young officer to join him. The
offer was declined on the ground that he
never could eat sausages. '..Sir,'' said the
great general, looking at the officer with
flashing eyes, "the man who cannot eat
sausages need never expect promotion from
me.n The young man at once applied himself
50 assiduously to the cultivation. of a taste
for sausages that i'll the iateswar he had
risen to be General Moltke's chief of staff.
A distaste for sausages led to the dismissal
ofawooer of the generals daughter. She
afterward married a manufacturer of sau-
sages, with her fathers appreciation, and
she is now the happy mother Of eight healthy
sausage-cating children. We're any one to
say in General Won Moltke's presence tltat
sausages were made out Of refuse dogs. he
would regard it as a mortal ofense. And
yet he has never accounted for the decadence
i'm the number of dogs in Germany since
sausages became the national food, as frogs
are that of the. French, potatoes and her
rings of the Irish. beef and plum pudding
OF the English. and huckwlleat cakes aud
tobacco of Americans.
