COMFORTS AND LUxuRIEs OF THE FARM
There are class of farmers who are living
only to grasp more acres. Their farms
can never be large enough, nor can their
workmen or themselves ever do quite work
enough. They cannot be satisfied with
the income Of a farm. nor could they be
with that of any other business. But those
who understand that the highest object of
labor is not simply to make money, but to
provide the largest amount of the means of
improvement and innocent enjoyment that
the world affords, can make the pursuit of
agriculture furnish more luxuries that re-
ally contribute to our well-beiDg, than any
other employment requiring an equal
amount of capital. Their farms are not so
large as to make slaves of themselves snd
their sons, and their wives and daughters
are not worn out with incessant drudgery.
Their door-yards blossom with flowers,
their tables are supplied with many varie-
ties of well-grown delicious fruit, their
houses are made cheerful by the influence
Of books and music, and taste for pure
aud innocent enjoyments of life Is devel-
oped in their children. Here and there o
farmers home exemplifes all the cOutent-
and happiness possible to racee doomed
to labor and disappointment. Practical
Farmer.

The Austrian Polar Expedition.

, A letter to- the New York Tribune frcn
; Hamburg, Germany, giving an account o.
the recent reception and banquet ia tina,
city to the returning members Of tht
Austrian polar expedition, contains the
story of tho voyage as told by Capt. Wey.
precht. The party were first firmly en-.
closed and frozen in the autumn Of 1872,
and at one time there was thirty feet Of
ice Under the keel. They drifted slowly
though not with regularity, and were per-
fectly helpless. No power of steam or
sail or men could do anything against
the ice of the north, aud they were quite
at its mercy. The summer Of 1873
brought them no release. They made ex.
cursions with sledges and discovered land
heretofore unknown. which they ch,isten-
ed Franz Josef's land. in honor of their
emperor. 1t is described as very rough,
with reddish gray beach showing through
the snow, and With mountains of various
nights up to 5000 or 1000 feet. When
Lieut.. Payer returned to the ship from
his last expedition, it was necessary to
consider the question Of abandoning the
Tegethoff. The ship was firmly blocked
10 the ice, and was lurchiug so much that
it became necessary TO shore her up with
spars. There was no prospect of an es-
cape and no prospect that. by remaining
longer, they could accomplish much more.
Besides, the loss Of the ship was quite
probable in the crushing and heaving of
the ice, and if this should happen in the
winter the destruction Of the entire party
was inevitable. So it was decided to re-
turn to Europe. They abandoned the
ship on the Goth Of May last, leaving
with boats drawn en- sledges. The jour.
ney was very severe. They had to break
down the hummocks Of ice with axes and
picks, so as to make road for the sledges,
aud there were days when they did not
make nautical mile in "a hours. Some
times they could not stand and we're forced
to crawl over the rough way, and, as they
approached the broken water, they found
there ice which would not support them
standing, and were again forced to crawl.
Several days after leaving the ship, a
part of them returned to get q smaller
boat. They found everything safe in the
vessel, and Capt. Weyprecht thinks it not
impossible that she may yet be recovered.
Through the broken ice they made their
way, with many hardships, and at last
reached open water. Once on the sea,
they made the best of their way south.

Flushing like the days departing fight.

took look at this, and thought the back
rather gorgeous, but supposing that was

paid for and took them. Soon having o.
casion to use one, he wrote his name and
address on this '.joker," and left it, af'
ter which he wended his way to his stop

of the pack. In his room he laid down
bis cards and went out. His son, entering
the apartment soon after, with friend.

two began playing. When the Judge re-
turned he was Mortified at the situation,
and asked "the boys" what they we're

CHARCOAL FOR PoULTnY.-The benefit
which fowls derive from eating charcoal
is, believe, acknowledged, The method
of putting it before them is, however, not
well understood. Pounded charcoal is
not in the shape in which fowls usually
find their food. and consequently it is not
very enticing to them. l have found that
corn burnt 10 the cob, and the refuse, which
consists almost entirely Of the grains re.
