How a Lighthouse Was Built.

TIE mountain system of Brittany has
sort of continuation in series of reefs
and gneiss rock which jut out in a
broken line westward of Finisterre. On
one of these broken rocks, called L'Isle
de Sein, there stands a lighthouse, but
the real danger lies to the westward
and the rocks there have literally bris-
tied with wrecks of vessels making for
Brest. In 1860 the committee for light.
ing the coast of France decided to erect
lighthouse on the extreme end of the
danger, and, after careful examination,
N. Ploix, the consulting engineer, de
cided on the Armen Rock as the best
site. At the same time he did not at
tempt to depreciate the prodigious diff
Guilty OF the attempt, and characterized
it as NEARLY impracticable." The cur
rents are SO strong and the sea runs SO
high that neither NJ Ploix nor the other
engineers, nor the Director of Light
houses was able to approach nearer than
fifty feet All they were sbls TO ascer-
tain was that the rock was gneiss, about
eight yards across and twelve in length,
and that it was just visible at low water,
After settling their plan of operations
they applied to the fishermen of the
neighboring island Of Sem, a most
familiar with the locality and danger, to
commence the necessary works. These
men undertook the task, and. provided

How to Make a Hog Trough.

HAVING seen number of articles on
the above subject, and having had some
experience within the last fifteen years
in watering hogs, feeding soaked, cooked
and other slop feed, have been at some
trouble to discover what kind of trough
is necessary in order to obviate some of
the difficulties one has to encounter in
watering and feeding in this way; and
thinking my brother farmers might be
interested to know how have succeed
ed, | will, with your permission, give the
following as the best yet tried:
The trough should be made with bot
tom of hard wood two inches thick,
twelve to fourteen inches wide and
twelve feet long, with the edge bcyeled
to let the sides stand out at the top The
end should also be of hard wood, one and
half inches thick, cut to fit the beveled
edges of the bottom, and firmly nailed
on. The sides should be of good pine
fencing, clear Of knots or cracks, cut
they should he firmly nailed, rs also to
the bottom. Take of the same material
of which the ends are made, and fit a
piece seven inches wide snugly to the in
side of the trough, two feet from each
end; nail it firmly and round off the cor
ners to make them even with the sides;
cut a notch in the center of each one of
these cross-pieces, one inch wide and one
and half inches deep; cut a wide board
ten and half feet long and set edge
ways into the above mentioned
notches, which board will be lit
tie shorter than the trough, and
will act as a division, preventing the
hogs from crossing, but does not divide
the feed. To keep said board in place
have a piece Of iron, eighteen inches
long, with good thread cut on one end, pass
it down through notched cross-p pieces on
one side of dividing board and screw
firmly into bottom Of trough. Have also
two bolt holes in upright iron, to which
bolt the board, and you are done unless
you wish the water to run from end to
end, in which case you can remove
circular piece from the center Of the
cross piece which supports the dividing
board. The advantages / have found in
using the above-described trough are:
l. 1t is not expensive and is easily
made
2.fThe hogs cannot lie down in it nor
stand in it nor yet cross over; cannot
throw out nor dirty the feed by walking
init
3. Will eat much more quietly and
larger number of hogs will eat at once
than in any other trough of the size.
4. Is more conveniently cleaned (if
necessary than if Stats were nailed
across as some recommends besides is
less liable to need cleaning.
5. Much less feed is wasted by being
thrown out while eating, besides many
other minor advantages which trial

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.


In roasting poultry, one thickness Of
writing or nice brown wrapping paper
tied round the wings and drumsticks,
will keep them from being baked to
crisp and spoiled.
To PRESERVE CRAKBERRIEs.-Boil .
pound Of the fruit very soft in a little
water, not allowing it to burn. Then
add pound Of sugar and boil five min
utes, closely covered.
In cooking oatmeal, hominy, wheaton
grits, cracked wheat, or any OF those
nice breakfast dishes, cook it in coy
cred tin dish set in kettle OF boiling
water. In this manner there is no dan
ger of scorching Corn-starch pudding,
seamoss, farina and all other articles
mixed with milk Gun be cooked in the
same way.
APPLIES N IMITATION OF GINGER.-To
three pounds of very hard apples take
two pounds of loaf sugar and quarter
Of pound of best white ginger. Put
these in layers (having first sliced the
apples in eight pieces and cored them
alternately in a wide mouthed jar. Next
day infuse an ounce of white ginger,
well bruised, In about pint Of boiling
water; let it stand till next day. Then
put in the apples that have been two
days in the ginger. Simmer slowly until
the apples look clear. Take great care
not to break the pieces.
EATING EGGs-An English paper very
consistently recommends an increased
consumption of eggs as food. It says:
Excellent sandwiches may be made
of hard boiled eggs and brown bread
and butter; eggs spread on toast are fit
for kings; a poached egg-that is, one
dropped from the shell into hot water
is not only clean and handsome, but a
delicious morsel; eggs are better fla
vored without salt or pepper, little sweet
butter being the best dressing; persons
who eat eggs freely may live to the age
of eighty or ninety, and lastly, eggs con
tain much phosphorus, and are best food
| for those persons who are deficient in
, brains" This last idea is one of the ut
most Importance to many persons
YANKEE SALAD-Take the clippings Of
beefsteak, or pieces of the neck, or bits
| Of chuck steak, all Of which are excel
lent meat, or take any good pieces OF
cold meat, veal, ham, beef or mutton
cut into small morsels with an equal
quantity of cold boiled potatoes, chopped
or sliced, and add lettuce in proportion
Dress with whites of three raw eggs,
beaten stiff, mustard, oil or cream well
mixed with the yolks of three eggs, a
little sugar, salt. pepper and vinegar add
ed carefully. Cold asparagus or beans
or crisp radishes, peeled and sliced thin
will make an excellent salad The frag
ments of many tables which are just as
sweet, rich and good in every respect as
the portions that have been eaten may
be brought into excellent dishes if the
domestic who superintends is skillful
housekeeper.-N \. Herald.

Gapes in Chickens.

THE editor of the Lancaster Pa.)
Farmer says: I" In recent conversation
with an experienced chicken grower he
informed us that he had been very sue.
cessful in conquering that precarious
disease in his young fowls by the appli
cation of alrslaked lime. AS soon as a
manifestation Of gapes in his fowls APP
pears he confines his chickens in box,
one at a time, sufficiently large to con-
tain the bird, and places coarse piece
of cotton or linen cloth over the top
Upon this he places the pulverized lime,
and taps the screen sufficiently to cause
the lime 20 fall through. This lime dust
the fowl inhales, and it causes it to
sneeZe, and in short time the cause OF
the gapes is thrown out in the form of a
Shiny mass or masses of worms, which
haG accumulated in the wind-pipe and
smaller air vessels. This remedy he con-
siders superior to any he has ever tried,
and he seldom fails to effect permanent
cure. He has abjured all those mechan-
ical means Ivy which it is attempted to
dislodge the entozoa with instruments
made of whalebone, hogs bristles, or fine
wire, alleging that people are quite as
certain to push the cape worms further
down the throat of the fowls as to draw
them OUT

The Mosquito.

il its perfect, or winged, state it is
about as annoying creature as can be,
but then it must be remembered that the
traveller is but casual intruder in the
natural domain Of the mosquito and
must expect the consequences Of his in
trusion. Devouring travellers is not the
normal occupation of the mosquito, for
hundreds of successive generations may
live and die, and not one of them ever
see a human being. Their real object is
a beneficent one. In their larval state
they live in the water, and feed upon the
tiny particles Of decaying matter that
are too small to be appreciated by the
larger aquatic beings, and, by devouring
them, purify the water and convert death
into life. Even in our ponds at home
we are much indebted to the gnat Larvae
for saving us from miasma; while the
vast armies of mosquito Larvae that swarm
along the edges of tropical lakes and
feed upon the decaying substances that
fall from the heritage of the banks
purify at the same time the water and
the atmosphere, and enable human be-
ings to breathe with safety the air in
which without their aid no animal higher
than a reptile could have existed" In

Anxious for a Bet.

4 YOUNG gentleman with medium
sized, light brown mustache and suit
Of clothes, on accommodating terms
| that is, on the insecure credit system
came into a hotel one afternoon, and
after calling for glass of Madeira
turned to the company present and
offered TO make a couple Of bets, which
nobody present seemed inclined to &C
cept. The exquisite glanced around con
| temptuously and said:
want TO make bet of some kind; /
don't care a fig what it is I'll bet any
man from a shillings worth of cigars to
$500 Now's your time, gentlemen.
What do you proposes"
Slipping glass of beer in one corner of
the bar-room sat a plain old gentleman,
who looked as though he might be a
farmer He set down his glass and ad-
dressed the exquisite:
"Well, Mister, I'm not in the habit Of
making bets, but seeing you're anxious
about it don't care if / crafty you. So
Ill bet you a quarters worth of skies
that can pour quart of molasses into
your hat and turn it out into solid lump
Of candy in two minutes by the watch"
Done" said the exquisite, taking off
his hat and handing it to the farmer 1t
was real silk hat, a splendid article,
that shone like black satin. The old
gentleman took the hat and requested
the bar-keeper to send for quart of mo.
lasses.
"The cheap sort, at ten cents quart;
that's the kind use in this experiment"
said he, handing over a ten-cent stamp to
the bar keeper
The molasses was brought, and the old
farmer, with very grave and mysteri
Gus countenance, poured it into the
dandy's hat, while the exquisite took out
his watch to note the time. Giving the
hat two or three shakes, with Signor
Blitz-like adroitness, the experimenter
placed it on the table and stared into it,
as if watching the wonderful process of
qualification.
Times up" said the dandy.
The old farmer moved the hat
"Well. do believe it amt hardened"
said he, in tone expressive Of disap-
pointment: Il missed it somehow or
other this time, and l suppose I've lost
the bet. Bar-keeper, let the gentleman
have the cigars, and charge 'em in the
bill.n
What of the cigars" roared the ex-
quisite; you've spoiled my hat that cost
me ten dollars, and you must pay for it"
That wasn't in the bargain" dryly
answered the old gentleman; "but I'll
let you keep the molasses, which is a
little more than we agreed for"
Having drained the tenacious fluid
from his beaver as best he could, into
spittoon, the man of the mustache
rushed from the place-his fury not
much abated by the sounds of ill-sup-
pressed laughter which followed his exit
He made his complaint at the police
Office, but, as it appeared that the ex-
pertinent was tried with his own consent,
no damages could be recovered
