How q Ltttle Kindness Of Heat Saved
the Character OF Young Woman
and Paid MsgnIficent Dividends in
the End-A Pleasant story OF Real
Life.
| In 1864 Mr.. Barnum organized troupe to
give exhibitions in various portions of New
England This troupe, after a successful
tour arrived at Whitehall, N. Y, and took a
short rest. VIM. L. Miller was the manager
of the concern. He was passionately fond Of
| fishing, and started out to enjoy his favorite
sport, leaving the net accumulations Of the
season, amounting to $4,000, behind at the
| hotel, in charge of Tom Thumb, who wasOne
Of the constituent members of the troupe.
The little man and his wife took notion to
walk about town, and thoughtlessly left the
door Of their room open and the cashboX in
an exposed place Miller returned with
string of fish, and wishing 10 write
a letter vent to the cash-box for pen
and ink. He discovered that the $1,000
package Of greebacks was gone. 1t was
quickly ascertained that the chambermaid Of
the hotel was gone too The Thumbs eX
planned that they had been out walking and
had forgotten all about the box. The case
looked quite clear. The chambermaid was
hunted up. She was found, dusty and travel
worm fifteen miles out of town, and increasing
the distance every step. She was brought
back, acknowledged the theft and gave up the
money. She explained that she expected to
be married soon and wanted an outfit. She
went into the room saw the money, and the
temptation was so strong that she could hot
resist it. She was very sorry, and begged not
to be prosecuted, as such exposure would
blast all her life-prospects. The girl had
always borne an excellent character. The lit
tie people pleaded for her, and Mr.. Miler's
heart, already softened with the beauty of the
poor young thing, relented, surrendered, al
most broke. He left town with his troupe,
kept the matter quiet, and the girl kept her
place. She finally married rich lumber mer-
chant, and he soon died aud left her a wealthy
young widow She had aproftable lumber
business and good deal Of cash. She was
not in the market for second marriage ven
ture, but she thought much Of Miller and his
kind treatment Of her in 1864.
A short time ago there was an inquiry in
the papers for certain William L. Miller
who was manager Of Barnum's show in 1864.
He turned up in New York, living in quiet,
small way, entirely out Of the public eye.
He wondered what anybody could have to tell
him for his advantage, but he went TO see,
He learned that about two months ago the
widow of a lumber dealer of Whitehall had
died and left her entire estate to William L.
Miller who was manager Of show and
visited Whitehall with Tom Thumb and party
in 1864. The bequest, it was expressly stated,
was in gratitude for Miller's act of forbearancc
toward her, which saved her good name and
made her fortune. Miller was not long in
identifying himself as the man inquired after,
and received 100000 in cash, and lumber
yard worth $4,000, 10 the Proeeeds Of a little |
kindly Investment years before.

National Bank Reserves.

In letter to the Cashier of a Chicago bank
the Comptroller of the Currency gives the
following construction of the new Currency
act in reference to the reserve required to be
held by National Banks:
My construction of the act of June %, 1874 in
reference To the reserve of the National Banks Is
that the reserve upon circulation is abolished,
but that the National Banks are required TO
keep reserve upon deposits, as provided In Sec
tions 81 and 81 of the National Bank act
and certain other proportion with the reserve
agents in the city enumerated in the sections re-
ferred to. The banks are also required to keep
on deposit with the Treasurer of the United

AN arrangement has been devised for
solidif, ing cast metals in their liquid state
by compressed air, which is forced direct
ly on top of the gate in the flask after the
metal is poured. According to this plan,
there is portable reservoir for COM
pressed air, with pump attached, which
latter is connected by rubber hose with a
cylindrical cap, fitted and clamped to a
cylinder fastened to the top of the flask.
Both cylinders are coupled together by
projecting fianges and clamps. The flask
cylinder is provided with clay wash,
and previous to the pouring of the liquid
metal, with ring or cap piece, set on
top to prevent the hot metal from coming
in contact with the clay wash. The ring
is removed as soon as the metal is poured,
the cap is then clamped ON the cylinder
and a stop-cock opened, so that the COM
pressed air is let directly on top of the
metal through the gate of the flask, com
pressing the metals in the molds.

A correspondent Of the Country Gen.
tleman says
The amount Of food necessary to sup
port an animal varies with its age, sex
temperament, the climate, the amount
of work It does. and various other con-
ditfons. The quantity needed to carry
on the functions of the body, when at
rest. has been very accurately deter
mined by long, continuous and careful
experiments. The result of these labors
1 cannot give IN a clearer or more con-
densed form than by translating a pas
sage from Magnes' work on the subject,
with the weights changed from the
French standards to those in use in our
own country.
III. Boussingault kept horse weigh
ing $50 pounds for month, without
increase or diminution of weight, on
ration composed of hay, 164 pounds I;
oats. 5 pounds.
III. Boussingault admits (Ehe hay was
the second CROP that the ration con-
tanned 5 ounces of nitrogen, and We
value at 81 pounds the carbon contained
in the respiratory elements hence 1t
follows that it represented very nearly
% pounds IL ounces of hay; in other
words, A pounds of hay for each 100
pounds of the weight of the animal.
By measuring the carbonic acid ex-
hailed by animals we can prove the
values deducted from the amount of
nourishment consumed.
Considering the works of various au-
thors and his own experiments, ALBERT
concludes that a horse weighing 1920
pounds ezhales in twenty-four hours 5
pounds z ounces of carbon, equal to 81
ounces for every 100 pounds of the
horses weight (this IS nearly the amount
of carbon that we have shown to be con-
tanned in 2 pounds of hay) that horse
weighing ], 900 pounds exhales IN TWEEN
| ty-four hours pounds 8 ounces of car
/ bon, equal to ounces for every 100
pounds of the horses weight Quantity
contained in 1-5 pounds of hay.
Basing our conclusions on these diff
I ferent observations, we believe we can
admit that the ration necessary to sus-
/ tain q horse without work. Is, for each
100 pounds of the weight of the animal:
1.s lbs OF hay for horse weighing-.--.. 1550 MS.
30 MS Of hay for horse weighing 500 MS.
~ his of hay for horse weighing. 100 lbs.
"A Ms of hay for horse weighing $50 lbs.
The ration of support is then greater
for the small animals than the larger
ones if this is not sufficient, the animal
is nourished at the expense of its own
| substance, and becomes poor. With
every animal it is only the nourishment
consumed in excess of the ration of sup
7 port that give useful products, conse-
quently there is advantage in having
I given work done IN the shortest time,
and BY a small number OF animals,
strongly fed, in order to diminish as
much as possible the nourishment lost

The HIgher EdueatIon Of Women.

We yield to no others IN the earnest
ness of our belief In the higher educa-
ton of women; but we want to see
them take the matter in their own hands
and work out system of mental Guilt
vations adapted to their own ma
lures and needs. The higher education
as embodied In existing institutions
cannot meet this requirement. It is In
fact, under indictment for non-adapta-
ton to the present wants of men and
one of the most profound and impor-
tant of the reforms of our age is that
thorough mobilization of collegiate
methods of study that shall bring them
up to the demands of modern life.
That they now answer to these demands
bat very few will maintain. There are
many, and the number is increasing,
who do not 90 to college because the
education there obtained is thought to
be of little use to the possesscr, If not
indeed hindrance to him In his future
experience with the world. Thousands
ignore all consideration of the useful
ness of what is to be learned, and go or
are sent to college because IL is the
proper thing, fashion of society, and
has It's social benefits and many I'M
doubleday go because they have been
made to believe that the old education
is the perfection of human wisdom for
mental discipline, and is, after aH, the
best thing even for practical life. Yet
the distrusb of the system is deep, and
has already made itself so powerfully
felt that the colleges have been COM
PEELED to yield to it, and in many cases
| to modify their methods of instruction
and create supplemental schools de-
voted to modern knowledge. The
higher education is thus in state OF
conflict and transition the old educa-
ton is giving way, and new education
is rising in its place.-PopltLGT Science

"The blood is the life" When this source is
corrupted, the painful and sorrow- producing
effects are visible in many shapes. The muI-
tifarious forms in which it manifests itself
would form subjects upon which might write
volumes. But as all the varied forms OF dis
ease which depend upon bad blood are cured,
or best treated, by such medicines as take up
from this fluid and excrete from the system
the noXious elements. it is not of practical i'm
portance that I should describe each. For in
stance, medical authors describe about fifty
varieties of skin disease but as they all re-
quire for theft cure very similar treatment it is
of no practical utility to know just what name
to apply to a certain form of skin disease so
you know how best to cure it. Then again I
might 90 on and describe various kinds of
scrofulous sores, fever Sores white swellings,
enlarged glands, and ulcers Of varying appear
ance might describe how viIuient poison NAV
show itself IN various forms of eruptions Ill
GERS, sore throat, Tony tumors ETC.; but as all
these various appearing manifestations Of bad
blood are cured by uniform means deem
such a course unnecessary. Thoroughly
cleanse the blood, which is the great fountain
of life, and good digestion, fair skin, buoy
ant spirits, vital strength, and soundness Of
constitution, viii all return TO us. For this
purpose DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discove-
~ and PurgatIve Pellets are pIe-emineutly the
articles needed. They are warranted to cure
fire, rose rash or erysipelas, ring-worms, PIN
pies, blotches spots, eruptions pustules,
boils, carbuncles, sore eyes, rough skin, scurff,
scrOfulOus sores aud swellngs, fever Sores
white swellings, tumors, old sores or swell
ings, affections of the skin, throat and bones,
and ulcers Of the liver, stomach, kidneys and

Selling Corn.


Sell no corn in the ear have all you
sell shelled-a hand Smelling machine
viii answer if your crop is a small one
-if large, get one to be worked by a
horse power neither will cost great
deal-and we are very certain that the
cobs, If crushed, steamed and fed to
your cattle, will be worth more to you
in a single winter than the price of a
corn-sheller, whether you get large or
a small on. We believe there is one
third as much nutriment in bushel of
cobs as there is in bushel of grain,
and we do know that COWS and oxen fed
upon three pecks of the steamed or
crushed cobs, in addition to their usual
quantity of hay, or tops of FODDER, viii
keep fat. Then why haul your corn
crops to market to be given away? 1t
costs you as much to carry bushel of
cobs to market as it does bushel of
corn. Shell your corn, leave your cobs
at home to nourish your cattle, and
through them your land and where
you now send one bushel of corn, you
will be able to transport two for the
same money. Look this subject fairly
in the face-consulb eeonomy-consult
the comfort of your cattle-consult the
wants of your soil. and you cannot fail
to take our advice.

newspapers DOmestieaIIy Considered.


Too low an estimate is apt to be set
on the domestic value of newspapers.
After reading them, and putting our
selves, through their agency, IN mental
correspondence with the world, they
are thrown aside and forgotten. But to
suppose their usefulness bounded by
their news columns and the waste-bag Is
a thriitless mistake.
In the first place, there are the house
held recipes, TO be found in stray cor
ners, often excellent, and deserving
refuge on the dy-leaf of the family
cookbook. Then come the pretty
verses, the strange and drol stories,
the brief Biographies and "reminiscences
which, pasted in scrap-book, are
source of never-ending pleasure, not
only of those who do not care for richer
intellectual food, but to those who
haze only odd minutes for reading.
Notwithstanding the squibs iOcalar
journalist have penned on the use Of
neWspSpers for bed clothing, We know
from experience that these are not to
be despised. They may not be as COM
Portable as your blankets, but GER
tainly they keep out the cold. Two
thicknesses of paper ara better than
pair of blankets, and in the case of
persons who dislike the weight of many
bed-clothes, they are invaluable. a
spread made of & double layer Of pa
pers between q covering of calico or
chintz, is desirable II every household.
The papers should be tackled together
with thread, and also basted to the COW
ering to keep them from slipping. An
objection has been made on account of
the rustling, but if soft papers be chosen
the noise viii not be annoying, espe-
cially should the spread be laid between
blanket and Counterpart.
As protection to plants against cold,
both in and out Of doors, nothing is
better. If newspapers are pinned up
over night at a window between pots
and glass, the flowers viii not only not
be frozen, but viii not even be chilled,
as they are so liable to be at this season.
In the same way, if taken to cover gar
den beds, on the frosty nights of early

One of the oldest services to put our
journals to is the keeping of ice in sum-
mer. An ingenious house-keeper re-
Gently discovered that her daily lump
of ice would last nearly twice as long
when wrapped in newspapers, and
placed IN any kind of a refrigerator.
This is very convenient, since it is pos
sible to have the best and cheapest re-
