Severe Punishment for Stealing APP
pies.

The Cornwall county magistrates, sit
ting at Penryn, gave a decision the
other day, the severity of which has ex-
cited considerable establishment. a
boy was brought before them charged
with stealing applesr The lad was I'M
der training for the naval service on
board the Ganges. During brief
leave on shore he had strayed into
lane, where he stole a few apples. The
commander of the Ganges, ON hearing
of the offence. punished him with suit-
able severity; but the police were call
ed in, and the boy was brought before
the civil authorities at Penryn, who
found him guilty of stealing apples
valued at threepence, and sentenced
him to one months imprisonment In
Bodmin jail, with hard labor The lad
was handcuffed, escorted by a police
man from Penryn to Falmouth mile
and half and through Falmouth town.
The Lords of the Admiralty and Home
Secretary will be memorialized on the
subject.

Death of Col. VIM. Wilson.

Colonel William Wilson, better known
as Billy Wilson," of the Sixth New
York Zouaves, died in that city few
days since, His regiment, which was
composed entirely of thieves and crimi-
mails, enjoyed an unenviable reputation
during the early days of the rebellion.
Norman had any chance of being admit
ted into its ranks who had not either
served term of Imprisonment III the
penitentiary, or could show dishonor-
able record IN the lists of crime 1t is
related of Billy that upon one occasion
recruit presented himself for enroll
ment. Have you ever served ?" in
quired the Colonel. "Now was the
reioinder. "What have you stolen !'
well, a few wipes and things" ''You
won't do" but the Colonel's watch and
other valuables suddenly disappeared
and the expert thief was duly mustered
Wilson was not only entirely ignorant
of military matters. but thoroughly
illiterate man, and it was the universal
hope of New York that he and his regi-
ment would never return. But by some
good fortune, which always seems to
take care of popular criminals, the regi-
ment was sent to the Dry Tortugas, and
in due time, after serving two years,
returned looking healthier than many
a regiment composed of better men.
Billy Wilson was a type of his class, a
class which recognizes bravado and dis
honesty as symbols of true manhood.
His loss will not be very deeply re-
GREETED.

Arab Horse MaXims.

Whose raiseth and traineth a horse
for the Lord is counted in the number of
those who give aims day and night, in
private as well as public. All his sins
will be forgiven him, and never will any
fear come over him and dishonor his
heart.
Let your colt be domesticated and
live with you from his tenderest age,
and when n horse he will be simple, do
ellie, faithful, and Injured to hardship
aud fatigue
If you have your horse to serve you
on the day of trial. if you desire him
then to be horse Of truth, make him
sober, accustomed to hard work, and
inaccessible to fear
Do not beat your horses, nor speak to
them in a loud tone Of voice; do not be
angry with them, but kindly reprove
their faults; they will do better there
after, for they understand the language
Of man and its meaning
Ii you have long days journey be-
fore you, spare your horse at the start;
let him walk frequently, to recover his
wind. Continue this until he has
sweated and dried three times, and you
may ask of him whatever you please,
he viii not leave you in difficulty.
Use your horse as you do your leath-
ern bottle; if you open it gently and
gradually, you can easily control the
water within, but if you open it sud
denly, the water escapes at once, and
nothing remains to quench your thirst,
Never let your horse run up or down
hill, if you can avoid it. On the con-
trary, slacken your pace. Which do
you prefer, was asked of a horse,
ascent or descent? A curse be on their
point of meeting was the answer.
Make your horse work and work
again. maction and fat are the great
perils of horse, and the main cause of
all his vices and diseases.
Observe your horse when he is drink
ing at a brook. If In bringing down his
head he remain square, without bend
ing his limbs, he possesses sterling
qualities, and all parts of his body are
built symmetrically.
Four things he must have broad
front chest, loins and limbs; four things
long-neck, breast, forearm and Group;
and four things short pasterns, back,
ears and tail.

Extraordinary Adventure of Two Boys.

At an inquest held the other day by
the Worcestershire county England
Coroner there was related an extraordi-
nary adventure on the part of two little
boys, one three and the other six years
of age, the children of parents living in
Bristol. The younger child was sent
into the street to play in the afternoon;
the elder one took his hoop and ran
away with it. The little boy followed
the other over Ashley hill, and round to
HOrfield, distance of about three miles.
Here the children lost themselves, and
darkness coming on they went into a
potato field and prepared their bed in
one of the burrows. Early next morn
ing a man engaged to dig potatoes in
this field found the two children lying
asleep. The elder had on only his shirt
and socks, and was benumbed with cold.
The little one explained that finding the
ground cold and wet his companion
stripped himself so as to have a COM
Portable bed, and wanted the younger
boy to follow his example, but he re-
piled that he would not, because che
wanted to go home to his mamma"
The exposure proved too much for the
elder boy (the child of a respectable
widow, who died from congestion of
the lungs and brain short time after
his discovery; the younger child did not
appear to have suffered at all from his
strange adventure.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Bone as Manure.

The bones of all animal creation are
composed of three substances, phos-
phOric acid, lime and geiatine or glue
three of the best fertilizing substances
to produce good seed. But where do
the bones of animals come from? Ger
tainly from the soil, through the grass,
hay, grain, ETC., consumed as food.
Therefore, every horse, bullock, COW,
cheep and hog sent off the farm with
out returning like quantity of bone
to the earth, causes our land to yield
less and less every year, till the land
becomes what is termed worn out. Be
sides, every load of hay and every
bushel Of grain sold off the farm car
ries away the same material, as it is the
hay and grain that make the bones of
our cattle, horses, etc.
Five per cent of all plants are COM
posed of ten mineral substances of
which bone forms large part, and
which comes directly from the earth,
while the fat of animals Is composed of
carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, three of
the gases that plants take exclusively
from the air, in the forms Of carbolic
acid and water, and which constitute
about ninetyfour per cent. of all plants.

household Matters.

SoFTENING HARD WATER is
usually done with sal soda, but the effect
is to hurt the clothes washed IN the wa
ter thus prepared, and the hands also.
1t is because there is an excess of the
soda, more than unites with the acid of
the water, which makes it hard. The
remedy is easy. Use enough of the salt
to take up the acid, and no more. In
this way both acid and soda disappear,
leaving a neutral salt which is SHARPNESS.
The water VIII be soft. Test a certain
amount of water, beginning with a very
little soda. and adding more if you find
you need it. With our own spring
water, which is hard, lump of soda the
size of large pea to a pint of water is
about the right proportion. OF course
the amount of the salt should be accord
ing to the degree of hardness of the
water.-Cor country Gentleman.

ing flour and milk nearly as soft as for

GauAs of Bees Swarniing.

Flanders ''Bee Book" gives rather
fanciful reason for the issuing of
swarms. The principal thing that
bothers us in this connection, aside
from little incredulity about the Won
derful intelligence which many enthu
siastic bee men attribute to this insect,
Is, if the workers, III their greed of
honey, become to disloyal to the old
queen, how would the young ones be
any better off? or do they continue to
swarm until honey enough is eaten out
10 enable the last queen to deposit eggs.
The "Bee Book" says as follows:
The period of incubationby the queen
commences early in the spring. 1t is
rapidly generative, and when the honey
season approaches the cells are well
stocked with eggs, Larvae, etc. At this
time the working bees during the busy
season intimate a negligence toward the
royal blood by packing cell after cell
with their wealth, and rapidly contract
ing the queens domains-the cells of
her deposits. The breeding space of
the hive thus becomes rapidly narrowed,
and finally the queen. having no empty
cells, locates in some remote place
generally on or near the edge of comb
and continues her deposits The lat
ter, on the edge of the comb, are eaten
by the working bees. Thus situated,
the royal influence of the queen Is linn
tied and unexerted. The entire swarm
seems to be disloyal.
The working bees, powerful in wealth,
construct royal residences or queen
cells IN which they rear queens, TO be
certain lest the royal blood should be-
come extinct. When these youthful
queens are Matched, the old queen, jcal-
ous Of her regal honors, undertakes to
destroy her rival queens. Unable to
succeed, as an army OF workers sur
round and defend the young queens,
the old queen abdicates her throne. and
salies forth from her late dominions,
accompanied by her loyal subjects, old
and young, whirling and buzzing in
dire confusion. After MI the disaffect-
ed have LEFT the hive, they settle with
the queen upon shrub or bush. This
IS what constitutes swarming.'

Physiology of Eggs.

Every fowl has two small organs near
the extremity OF the body called the
ovaria 1t is filled with elastic tissue,
and feels under the finger like sponge.
The eggs are started here, and those
which will mature a year, or two or
three years hence, are in embryo. One
is forced up, is seized by the stroma,
which is seventeen inches long, and
passed rapidly through. When the egg
leaves the ovary it consists Of yolk only,
but III its passage through that short
canal the yolk is surrounded by enough
albumen to perfect the chick. The
white of the egg has III it all that nature
requires for making bones, muscles,
blood vessels, connecting tissues, skin
and feathers.
Just before the egg leaves the body,
this canal has the power Of secreting
lime for the shell. This shows how
valuable the egg is as Il nutriment amp
also what demands are made Tor rich
food by hen that lays an egg daily.
Besides what she requires for her sUs-
tenance, she is called upon to secret the
material for the body of an entire chick,
and also retains for the little creature
sufficient to last many hours after it
leaves the shell. 1t shows also that Il
hen cannot make albumen SO rapidly
except out of albuminous food, such as
wheat, meat and small animals.
1t is not true that there is certain
number of eggs, and that this number
exhausted no more can be expected F.;
but it is true that the secretions lessen
as old age comes ON, and latterly the
hen fails to have sufficient force to car
~ forward the process. The practical
bearing of this is that we must see that
the fowl is always well kept. The way
to have good laying pullets is to quick
en- the circulation and strengthen the
system by liberal nutriment- The yolk
Is food for the first three or four days
Careful housewives make a mistake by
attempting to feed them before the ex-
piration of this time. Let the mother
bird have charge, and success viii be
certain, for she knows better than any
man can what the chick requires. -

10 PREVENT RUsTING. Boiled lin
seed oil will keep polished tools from
rustmg II 1t is allowed to dry on them.
1t is very difficult to get off and should
never be put near joint, as it candies
Iurpentlne, or soft soap, will destroy
1t when 1t is necessary to brighten the
surface oiled.
Common sperm oil will prevent from
rustlng a short period. A coat of copal
is frequently applied to polish tools ex-
posed to the weather. Wooden mate
rails are the best for wrappers for met
ais.
Iron and steel goods of all descrip-
lions are kept free from rust by the
following: Dissolve one half ounce of
camphor III one pound of hogs lard,
take Oft the scum and mix as much
black lead as Will give the mixture an
iron color. Iron and steel, and machin-
cry OF all kinds, rubbed over with this
mixture and left with it on for twenty
four hours, and then rubbed with a lin
en- cloth, will keep clean for months.
THE CARE OF Om-CLorHs.-An oil
cloth requires careful treatment, and
should never be scrubbed with brush;
but after first being swept with the
long-handled hair brushes that are made
for the purpose, it should be carefully
washed with large, soft cloth dipped
into milk and ater-half-and-haIf; or,
If the milk is not obtainable, tepid
water without soap. The latter ruins
oil-cloth by taking off the brightness Of
the paint, and it should never be applied
to 1t. Hot water is also very injurious
to 1t; either of them-soap or hot
water-being sure to inlure the oil
cloth more than the wear of it. When
washed over, wipe it off with a soft, dry
cloth. and it will always retain bright
look. In purchasing an oil-cloth, it is
very desirable to obtain one that has
been made for several years, as the
longer it has lain unwashed the better
twill wear-the paint becoming harder
and more durable An oil-cloth made
within the year is hardly worth buying,
as the paint will be defaced in short
time

Sabbath Bells.
BY DIR. ]. G.. HOLLAND.

Full feetly sped the morning hours
Then, wide upon the country round,
A tumult of melodious powers,
In tumult of melodious sound,
Burst forth from all the village towers.
With blow on blow, and tone on tone,
And echoes answering everywhere
Like bugles from the mountains blown
Each sought to whelm the burdened air,
And make the silence all its own.
In broad, sonorous silver swells,
The air was billowed like the sea
And listening ears were listening shells,
That caught the Sabbath minstrelsy,
And sang it with the singing bells.
The pillows heaved, the pillows broke,
The first wild burst went down amain
The music fell to slower stroke,
And in a rhythmic, bold refrain
The great bells to each other spoke
Oh, bravely Bronze gave forth his word,
And sharply Silver made reply,
And every tower and turret stirred
With sounding breath and converse high
Or paused with waiting ear, and heard
And long they talked, as friend to friend
Then faltered to their closing toll,
Whose long, monotonous repetend.
From every music-burdened bowl
Poured the last drop, and brought the end

few days since T was inspectino tho 1orno
Iannerles OF the Messrs. Hamlyn. at
buckfasteghs on the River Dart, De-
Vohshlre. In one of the back wards was
mountain of the skulls ana horns of
COWS OF all sorts and kinds Here there
was a treasure worthy of investigation !:
SO L got on to the mountain of horns
and skulls, and picked out some bearti
ful specimens which Mr.. Hamlyn kind
~ gave me III order to make sections
etc. L find that over the brain of the
COW strong roof of bone is thrown in
The shape of an arch so as to form n
substantial foundation for the horns.
This roof is not solid, but is again
strengthened below by series of bony
arches, that are SO distributed as to form
a series Of hollow chambers, thus form
/ ing a structure uniting strength with
hghtness
The problem now is how to fasten the
horn on each side on to this buttress.
The horn itself IMust of course be formed
OF horn proper, !. e., hardened hair. In
the rhlnOcerOs we find horn composed
entirely of a solid mass of what is really
bunch of hair agglutinated together:
much too heavy for the cows convent
ent use. What is to be done? Why,
hollow out the center of the horn of
course; but stay-this will not do, be-
cause how is the horn to be supplied
with blOOd-vesselsl-in fact how is it to
grow! Let us see how it is done by tie
great Designer
Cut the horn right across with a saw
and you will find inside another horn,
only made of bone If the section is
made about one third of the way down
the length of the horn, you will be able
to pick out piece of bone about the
shape OF a cone, on which, or rather
around which, the horn proper has
shaped itself This bone fits the cavity
with the greatest accuracy: it is as light
as the thinnest paper, and yet as strong
as cone Of tin. 1t is everywhere per-
forated with holes, which in life con-
tanned the nerves, the veins and arte-
rles, and we know a COW has all these in
her horns; nerves proved by the fact
that COWS do not like their horns
touched, and that they can scratch fly
off their hides with the tip of the horn;
arteries and veins, proved by the fact
that a horn, when broken, will bleed,
and that the horn Of living COW feels
quite warm when held in the hand, be-
sides which the nerves and arteries form
a union between the internal core of
bone and the external covering of horn
proper
Ii we now cut the rest Of the horn into
sections we shall find that the inside of
of the bouy part is really hollow, but
that very strong buttresses of bone are
thrown about every inch or so) across
the cavity of the horn in such a manner
as to give it the greatest possible sup
port and strength. I have cut a cows
horn and skull into several sections to
show these buttresses of bone, and now
that the preparation is finished, [ have
another specimen to show that there is
design and beauty in all created OBJ
jects.
