Bund.r's Patent Fire Plug.

Conschochen, Penn, Is a "city set
on HILL" or rather ON the side OF a
hill. II stretches from the Schuylkill
river up the incline to the top. which is
15O feet above the water level. Last
Summer they determined 20 introduce
water into the town. and they began by
erecting huge reservoir ON the summit
OF the hill. just beyond the village.
When the work was done and the reser-
voir pumped full OF water. Mr.. Bunder,
who lives down near the river, had q
patent fire plug OF his own invention
placed in front OF his house. One day.
before the water had been turned on by
the company. Bunder had his uncle
Horace up from the city 10 dinner. and
he took the old gentleman out 10 explain
the fro ping 10 him. After unscrcwing
tho top and examining the interior. Bun
der's uncle took a seat on the plug and
began 10 discuss with him the question
OF "Csesarism and the depression ON the
price Of pig iron." In the very heat Of
the controversy the superintendent mp
ut the reservoir turned the water ON for
purpose Of washing out the pipes. Two
minutes afterwards Bunder saw Horace
suddenly shoot twenty feet into the air.
followed by column OF water six inches
thick; and during the next quarter OF an
hour while the fountain continued 10

the top OF that column. bouncing about
with his legs pointing in quick success

standing upon his head. sometimes

valve in the plug. but ii wouldn't work.
and be could only stand there and feel
sick as he waited for his venerable rela-
tive 10 come down. AT last the old man
did descend all Of sudden. landing on
his back in the mud. Any other man
would have expressed himself in violent
language, but Horace merely rose.

Complimentary.

In recent address ex-senator Doc.
little remarked: ssWhatever may be
said in criticism of Mr.. Johnson's pub
lilo course, all parties agree that the
white house was never more gracefully
kept and presided over, than by his
daughter, Mrs. Patterson-a perfect la
dy, model of a republican mistress of
the white house. Let me tell fact
which has never been published, but
which I had from the lady's own lips.
just as she was about to leave, at the
end OF Mr.. Johnson's administration,
the steward of the house took an inven-
tory, aud found that not one article of
furniture was missing or broken, not n
sheet, towel or napkin was lost, and
the house was in perfect order from top
to bottom. She told me another fact,
which know the wives and daughters
Of the farmers of Wisconsin will be glad
to hear. When they went into the
white house she purchased two excel.
lent COWS. From the milk of these
COWS she made all the butter, used oil
the cream, and made all the ice-cream
used in the presidents family during
his term. When she went home, she
shipped these COWS to Tennessee. Is it
any wonder, ladies. that Mrs. Patterson
received the first premium on butter at
their fair, last fall 2"

A Steam uider-Mill.

The Detroit Tribune in recording the
observations of the Michigan orchard
committee says: At Battle Creek the
committee had the pleasure of examin-
ing a new cider.mill and press. Tie
grinding OF the apples, pressing, and
pumping are all done by steam power.
The apples are ground very rapidly,
and the "cheeses" are put up in one.
quarter of the time required in the old
mode, stout cambria being used instead
OF straw in making up the "oheeses," /"
SO that the juice comes out pretty free
from pulp. Two men will lay mp a
good-sized "obeese," in fifteen minutes.
The press is then applied, and is self
working, and by the time another
"cheese" is ready to be pressed the
frat "cheese" is ready to be renewed.
The cider flows into q oistern beneath
the floor, from which it is forced into a
large tank above but before it goes in.
to the tank it passes through char
coal filter, which renders it pure and
clear. BY extending iron pipes from
this tank to side track which has been
laid near the mill, barrels are filled
aboard cars. a barrel of cider is given
for ten bushels of apples the price for
making we did no. learn. 3

The Wondrous {" Green vault.p

Z A correspondent of the Chicago Jour.
nal, speaking of the art collections Of
Dresden, says: "For wealth of con-
tents, the sGreen Vault excels any
and all the rest of the collections. The
Green Vault consists of several vault.
ed apartments on the ground floor of
the museum, each of which is devoted
to some one kind of valuable object.
In one are Florentine and other mo "a
les in another gold and silver plate
which adorned the banquets OF the
Saxon kings in another vessels formed
of half precious stones, among which
are two goblets, valued at $4,000 each.
In the last are found articles the most
valuable of all: one, called the court
of the great mogul, consists of 1873
figures of pure gold and enamelled, and
cost $58. .000; and finally comes a glass
case filled with most precious suits of
costly jewels, sapphires, emeralds, ru-
bies, pearls, and, in still greater profu-
sion, diamonds. One hardly knows
which to be astonished at most, the
wonderful richness of the collection or
the wonderful folly of the princes who,
from taxes no doubt levied upon their
subjects, would collect such an amount
OF wealth to lie for years as dead
capital.''

weights OF Boys and Girls.

Upon the average, boys at birth
weigh little more and girls q little
less than seven pounds. For the first
twelve years the two sexes continue
nearly equal in weight, but beyond that
age the boys acquire decided prepon-
derance. Young men of twenty average
one hundred and thirty-fve pounds,
while the young women of twenty aver
age one hundred and zen pounds each.
Men reach their heaviest weight ut
about forty years of age, when, their av-
erage weight will be about one hum
dred and forty pounds, but women
slowly increase in weight until fifty years
of age, when their average weight will
be one hundred and thirty. Taking the
mon and women together, their weight
ut full growth will then average from
one hundred and eight to one hundred
and fifty; and women from eighty to
one hundred and thirty. The average
weight of humanity all over the world.
taking the ages and conditions, work
ingmen and women, and gentleman and
ladies without occupation, black and
white, boys, girls and babies, is very
nearly one hundred pounds, ayoirdu-
pois weight.

InfentieIdo I,y OpIun..

70 -"
One Of the best informed physicians
the public health service, some time
tanned by him from numerous medical
witnesses, showing the almost universal
resort to opium in order to benumb and
stupefy children, even those of the ten.
'derest age; avery common preparation
OF this sort being o so.called cordial
made of treaole end opium. So general,
it appears, is the use 9of this mixture,
that Gust toners go to the aposhecaries,
and, without any hesitation, ask for q
dose Of it - to give to the baby next
day, as they are going out to walk. e
Che mista frankly admit that they
make and sell these opium decoctions
by the barrel and hogsheads full. This
baleful usage prevails not only in the
.colliery districts, but also in the manu-
featuring and MISUNDERSTANDING dis
triots; and it is stated by one gphyaiciRn
ithaJ in the Nothing ham, Derby u ( : aIid an z
Leicester districts the habit Of adminis-
tering opium to infants usually begins
when the child is three or four weeks
old. And still another witness asserts
that the opium cordial is given. on the
very day of birth, being in readiness for
that event. The inevitable result of
this terrible custom is, of course, that
great numbers of infants perish, either
suddenly from an overdose, or, as more
commonly happens, by slow, painful,
insidious disease. Compared, there
fore, with this form Of infantioide, the
kind practiced by the Chinese may be
said to be merciful.

Cure for DiptherIn.

The ravages of diptheria in Aus
tralia have been 80 extensive within the
last few years that the government Of
fered large reward for any certain
method of cure and among other re-
sponses to this was ono by Mr.. Great
head, who at first kept his method IA
secret, but afterward communicated ii
freely to the public. It is simply the
use of sulphuric acid, of which four
drops are diluted in three-fourths of a
a grown person and q smaller dose to
children, at intervals not specified.
The result is said to be coagulation of
the diptheritio membrane, and its
ready removal by coughing. It is as-
serted that where the case thus treated
has not advanced to nearly fatal ter
mination the patient recovered in al
most every instance.
