DRINKING HARD WATER.-Hard water
has sometimes been thought unhealthy,
and people have taken great pains to
build cisterns in their houses, where
rain-water purified might be had for
the table. Bat nature rarely makes
mistakes, and spring-water is almost
uniformly hard It is found, on extern
sive and careful inquiry, that hard wa
ter is more healthy than soft. The
body needs some Of the salts held in so
luton in hard water, and suffers if they
are not supplied in some way. In Eng
land the counties where hard water
abounds are more healthy than those
where soft water is used. The same
fact appears in cities, where the mortal
ity is least in sections supplied with
hard water. Contrary to the general
impression, soft water acts on lead
pipes more powerfully than hard,
and induces, danger. Those who
have built rain-water cisterns, thinkino
them more healthy than wells, viii
need to study the wiser method of ma.

SAVING TREES FROM NIIoE.-We
would call the special attention of
farmers again TO the Importance of pro-
tecting their young trees against the
winter ravages of mice. The work re-
quired to do this is triAing and pays
largely. There are numerous ways of
accomplishing the desired end, but the
most effectual and convenient we have
ever used was to bank with earth the
trunks up few inches from the surface
of the ground. A wagon load of dirt
will bank large number of trees, and
il rich soil double benefit may be de-
rived by spreading the same over the
roots of trees in spring. An exchange
strongly urges a plan which we do not
think as good IS the above, yet we give
il for what IL is worth. II says to
bandage up the stems of the old tree
with any cotton or wooden cloths, il of
old muslin with two or three wrnppings,
letting the bandage go into the ground
an inch or two and six or eight inches
above the ground, and tie up. This
should certainly be renewed every
autumn, il necessary, until the trees are
large enough not be injured.

THE CoRnVTH SHrP CANAL.-The Ital-
ian consul at the Pir@us, Greece, com
municates to this government the news
that the contract for opening a canal
through the Isthmus at Corinth, has
been awarded to NJ. Tuvini, an Athe-
nian banker. The conditions Of the
agreement are that the canal shall have
a minimum depth of % feet, and a
breadth Of 1877 feet at the base. A ba-
sin and docks, with store-houses. etc.
covering an area of n acres, are TO be
constructed at half the distance, and
the basin is TO have a sufficient depth
of water to float the largest vessels.
The work is TO be completed in six
years under a penalty of $50, 600, and
M. Tuvini has obtained the entire grant
for ninety-nine years. It is estimated
that the expenses of the undertaking
will reach s4,O00,0O0. The advantages
to be gained are the avoidance of the
detour of the Morea and doubling of
Cape Matapan, a dangerous coast in
stormy weather, thus materially lessen
ing the journey between Greece and the
western countries of Europe.

A NEW FUEL-CARBoNITE.- new
fuel has recently made its appearance in
our market, which, on account of its in
trinsic value as we'll as its novelty, is
deserving of notice. Although natu-
raj production it can hardly be called
coal ; and although possessing to some
extent the properties of coax, it is not
produced by any of the methods COM
mon to the manufacture of coke. The
proprietors have given it the appropri-
ate name of "carbonite." It is found
to a limited extent in the bituminous
coal-felds of Central Virginia, consti-
tuting distinct vein by itself, which is
now fairly developed and yielding
steady supply. 1t is sold in Jumps like
canal coal. The surface when broken
dull in appearance instead of glossy,
as is the case with canal or anthracite
coal. 1t burns with bright flame when
first ignited, and almost without
smoke, and subsequently settles down
into n bed of bright Goals not
unlike anthracite in appearance, but
lacking the intensity of heat
produced by anthracite, and at the same
time more enduring. 1t seems to be
especially suitable for open CRATES, and
more particularly for parlor use, on ac-
count Of its freedom from smoke or
bituminous smell, and also from the
small proportion of ashes (only q per
cent resulting from combustion. The
ashes are also of such density that, in
the process of stirring or removing,
they do not rise into the room.
The analysis recently made by DIR.
Wallace, of Glasgow, and given below,
shows Rlarger proportion of combustible
matter than is found in any known fuel,
being 90 per cent. that is available for
producing heat. 1t has but a slight
trace of sulphur, and is therefore free
from the pungent odor and gas incident
10 anthracite coal. It is superior to any
other fuel in the power of producing
steam, and may prove especially desira.
BILE for steamships making long voyages,
on account of its economy of space.

GET STRONG HARNESS AND BIrs.-
Considering tho lives Of those who sit
behind horses often depend on the
soundness of bit or a strap, it is re-
markable how little attention is paid to
the condition of harness by those who
trust themselves not only in strange
carriages, but also in their own vehicles.
An English journal, devoted to the har-
ness trade, after observing that scarcely
a day passes without the occurrence of
an accident arising from a bit breaking
while in the horses mouth, points out
that there are three ways of making
these bits. One is to forge them
throughout with the toughest iron or of
soft steel the other is to use cast
cheeks, and forge the mouth-pieces ;
while the third is to cast them through
out. The first is the only method that
should be followed, but buyers will not
pay the prices asked, and manufacturers
can not afford to sell them for less.
The wrought mouth is the next best,
and If the check has been properly an
nealed it makes a most serviceable bit.
Cast cheeks, however, are not always
trustworthy, and the manufacturer is as
likely to be deceived in this respect as
the buyer. The cast bit is one thai
ought never to be used. Harness-ma.
kers should inform their customers OF
the quality Of: the article, and leave
the responsibility with the buyer. 1
for the sake of the difference in price
between two kinds a man chooses tC
risk his life by using the poorer bit,
neither the harness-maker nor the bit
manufacturers should be blamed. The
bit and reins should always be of th'
strongest kind, no matter what the mer
its OF the rest of the harness.

This unique product of the earth is
accounted for as follows: Originally a
vein Of bituminous coal, but lying upon
and coveredswith fine clay, it appears
to have been subjected to heat by an
overflow Of trap-rock on the surface,
thereby expelling the gaseous and vola-
tile properties Of the coal. A process
of nature has thus accomplished, on q
grand scale, more perfect result than
is attainable by artificial means, and has
delivered, for human use, deposit Of
natural coke, so condensed by the pro
cess under which it was formed as to
acquire a specific gravity nearly the
same as bituminous coal, and possessing
a heating power fully equal to our best

cities it is easy to understand, when
aaueduct water is not supplied, how
wells may become contaminated, but for
many it is not so easy to see how wells
in the country, among the hills or in
the green valleys, can become so impure
as to be sources of disease. Since the
general introduction of aqueduct water
into large cities, typhoid fever has be.
come more common In the country than
in the city, and this disease is certainly
zymotic, or one which results from
poison introduced into the blood.
Wells in the country are very liable to
become contaminated with house sew
age, as they are generally placed, for
convenience, very near the dwelling,
and the waste liquids thrown out upon
the ground find easy access by percola-
ton through the soil to the water. The
instances of such contamination which
have come to our notice, and which
gave rise to fevers, are numerous. The
gelatinous matter, which is often found
covering the stones in wells affected by
sewage, is a true fungoid growth, and
highly poisonous when introduced into
the system. It is undoubtedly con-
cerned in the production of typhoid
fever. How it acts it is difficult to de-
termine, but it is at least conceivable
that the spores of the fungus may get
into the blood and bring about changes
after the manner of yeast in beer.
These spores, as is well known, develop
rapidly by a kind of bubbling process,
and but little time passes before the
whole circulation becomes filed with
them, giving rise to abnormal heat and
general derangement, called fever.
These fungoid or confervoid growths
are always present in waters rendered
impure by house drainage, and great
caution should be used IN maintaining
well waters free from all sources of pol

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.


CARPETS, DUST AND DIsEAsE.-An at
mosphere impregnated with the dust
which has been gathered in carpets and
remained there for a considerable length
of time, is positively unhealthy. The
dust, after being stagnant for some
time, especially in warm weather, pre-
sents myriads of animalcule. To pre-
vent fhe evil, the carpets should be
cleaned often. The dust should be re-
moved every month. The trouble Of
taking up, shaking and replacing, will
be amply repaid, first. in the matter Of
health, and secondly, in preserving the
carpet. We advise the good house
wives (there are many to make a note
OF this.
New REMEDIES FOR CHOLERA. French
physicians, as a rule, hold to the fun
gold theory of cholera, and one Of
their number has been experimenting
with the carbolate Of ammonia in cases
of cholera, so far, we learn, with en-
couraging success. One physician, DR..
Declat, looks upon earbolic acid as a
prophylactic, to be used in the ordinary
way of diet during epidemics. 1t is
taken in the form of syrup. When a
patient is attacked with cholera, the
syrup should be administered, and a
dilute solution of the acid injected. In
severe cases, the doctor employs a syrup
of carbolate of ammonia, with subcu-
taneous injections Of the same and he
is so confident as to the efficacy of his
remedy that, in cases where dissolution
is impending, he iniects a solution o.
carbolate Of ammonia directly into the
veins.
