A Nut for Scientists.

A strange freak of nature has come to
light in Bedford, Wis. John Laird, of
that place, owned hen which had a
swelling at the right side of the head,
just below and little back of it's ear.
1t increased in size as the chicken grew.
till it was two years old. At this time
it had developed to the size of a good
sized egg, and had the appearance of a
carbuncle. Last Saturday he killed the
chicken, and found that the swelling
was loose at the side of the head. On
cutting it open, he found what was en-
tirely identical with the yolk of cooked
egg. 1t is difficult to account for this
strange phenomenon, but to the facts
of the case reliable persons are willing
to testify. The germ of the yolk must
have been deposited in an immature
state with the egg before the chick was
Matched, and after being lodged at the
side of the head, it must have gathered
as nutriment for growth the albumen.
etc., from the surrounding parts of the
body from the head, similar to the way
other yolks form in their normal condi-
ton and place. This would imply a
strange change of the functions of the
body where the yolk was located.

The Goodbye Hospitality.

The half of hospitality lies in the
speeding OF parting guests. Lavish
welcomes are easily enough bestowed,
but the hospitable thought must be
very genuine, indeed, which dares to
leave the guest as free and welcome to
go as to come. We all suffer, now and
then, from undue urging to stay when
we prefer to go, and nearly every one of
US Is himoelf a sinner in this regard.
too. No sooner does the guest intimate
a wish to terminate his visit than we fiy
In the face of bis desire, and urge him
to stay longer. We sometimes do this.
too, as mere matter of duty, when in
our hearts we care very little whether
the guest goes or stays. We feel our
selves bound to show our appreciation
of our friends visit by asking that he
prolong it. Now, true hospitality
ought to learn better than this. Our
effort should be, from first to last, to
make our friends visit thoroughly
pleasant and agreeable to him. We
strive for this result in fastening to Of
fer him the most comfortable chair and
to set out our best viands, if he break
bread with us. 1t is that he NAV enioy
his stay that we take pains to talk only
upon agreeable topics. In short. from
the time he crosses our threshold until
he rises to leave we make the moments
slip by as pleasantly as possible. But |
the moment he asks for his hat our
courtesy fails US. Hitherto we have
studied to anticipate and crafty his
every wish. Now that he wishes to go,
however, we endeayor to thwart his |
pleasure. We selfshly try to turn him

him to stay while he wishes to 60.
Courtesy would prompt us to give his

Pledge Of Anti. Treaters.

The following, coming from Albany,
is the pledge of an anti-treat society:
"Since it has been acknowledged by
every thinking man that treating is the
great sore of public social life, and the
main cause of the excessive drunken
ness in America, we, the undersigned,
do solemnly declare and promise by our
signature, never to offer or accept a
treat of any article consumable after
May l, 1874, the following cases ex-
cepted First, it is allowed to receive
treats and to treat persons from other
pieces who are on visit, but only such
persons ; and, second, it is allowed to
offer such articles consumable to ladies.
And further, it is allowed in cases where
the strict adherence to the rule would
interfere with the transaction of bust
ness"

Beecher addresses himself in detail to the

cludes with an absolute and unequivocal

edges that Mrs. Tilton complained to
him OF her husband that she spoke
of his infidelity, and cited instances

perhaps, If left to the impulses of his own
generous nature, Tilton would aban-

THE STATEMENT OF THEODORE TILToN.
MIR. Tilton appeared before the Beecher
Investigating Committee on the evening of
July 20, and read a sworn statement in sub
sanitation Of the indefinite charges he had
made against Mr.. Beecher. He declared that
Mr. Beecher, in the year 1868, deliberately

AbuSe of Old Horses

A correspondent has the following
suitable remarks on this topic:
feel deep sympathy for old horses.
1t is common practice in this country
to make old horses break the colts and
too often work with them for years. 1t
is hard for an old horse to work with q
colt or young, active horse. Old
horses, like old men, are often capable
of performing more hard work than
some young ones, who can beat them for
an hour or more. The old man wants
to take moderate jog, andcan hold out
all day ; but little immoderate exer-
ton for few minutes unstrings him
perhaps all day. An old horse driven
at the top of his speed for few miles,
spoils the days journey. The old horse
should not haul his load to town and
then trot back. 1t does not iniure him
as much to do heavy work with slow
motion as to do light jobs at the last
gait. Again, the old horse requires
more time to eat his meals and rest his
nerves. OF all animals the horse is the
worst abused. Although he has been
our faithful and profitable servant.
yet IN his old age the lash is applied to
force out his youthful vigor. The older
he grows the more he feels the lash.
de Is often turned out doors to give
place to the colts. Too often the neg
lect and abuse he is subject to, because
he is little old, results in greater loss
than is made up in the care of Young
horses. The last part of horses life
may be more profitable, if rightly used,
than the first part.
There is more comfort and less dam
ger In working old horses. We under
stand them and they understand us ;
and we should be willing to conform in
some measure to their wishes. Itwould
be more humane as well as profitable to |
use them as they should be and as long |
as 1T would pay, and then take them out |
and shoot them down. But the practice |
is to knock them about as much as they |
will bear to pay we'll, and then trade |
them off to some more inhuman wretch
than ourselves. The old servant has
gene among strangers, and he receives
40 sympathy in his last extremity. We
10 not blush to say that man who has
enjoyed the profits and pleasures of

'rous and suspicious friend. The man
Who does SO without regard to how the
horse may be cared for, is, in my esti-
nation, of a suspicious character and
never see horses abused so as to excite
,lty but my sympathies are directed to
he mans wife and children also. if he

Owing to its cheapness the impure
sulphate of iron, ordinarily known as
copperas, is the most available SUBJ
stance known as a disinfectant for
sewage, out-houses, etc. The common
mistake is not using it in sufficient
quantity.
The value of sulphate of iron does
not rest, 1t must be remembered, upon
theory only, but upon experiment. In
February, 1873, Albert Eckstein pub
llshed an account IF his attempts to
dislnfect an clubhouse which was used
daily by one hundred persons, and the
results are so interesting that they are
here transcribed.
l. Two pounds of sulphate of iron in
solution. After from two or three hours
all bad smell had disappeared bat in
twelve hours all the influence of the
disinfectant was lost.
2. Sulphate of copper in solution, the
same.
3. Two pounds OF sulphate of iron
In crystals; their effect lasted two days.
4. Sulphate of copper, the same.
D. Sulphurous acid in solution rap
idly lost its effects, and was exceed
ingly irritating to the respiratory or
gans.
6. Two pounds of impure carbolic
acid filed the house for two days with
such disagreeable smell that it was
impossible to tell whether the original
o!or was destroyed or covered up.
z. Two pounds of sulphate of iron in
a parchment-sack exerted disinfectlng
influence for three full days, and when
the parchment-sack was drawn up it
contained only some dirty, odorless
fluid.
8. Two pounds of the best chloride
Of calcium In the parchment sack dis
the clubhouse for at least nine
lays.
in conclusion, to sum up the points
1. 1t is useless to attempt to disin-
ect the atmosphere and therefore
yreat care should be exercised to de-
troy, as far as possible, the poison

The late Robert X. Potter once told
me OF an error which gave him trouble
for time. He had printed an agate
edition of the Bible for the Theological
School at Andover, and when the thou
sand copies had been bound he discoy-
cred a typographical error in which. by
the change of single letter, the most
broad and ridiculous sense possible was
given to the passage. An old professor.
to whom the matter was referred. and
who had had supervision of the proof
reading, laughed heartily when he saw
1t. What was to be done? Should the
neatly-printed and fnely-bound edition
be lost. No. The Professor suggested
that If the offending letter could he OBJ
liberated the work would answer. So
hands were set at work, and with the
point OF a sharp bodkin the impression
of the misunderstanding type was
out from each of the thousand
copies.
An error OF an amusing nature came
near occurring in a work which Rev,
DIR. Atherton had prepared for the
press. Among the proofs sent him from
the printers was one in which he found
a passage from Job IL, 4, printed as fol-
lows Skin for skin; yea, all that a
man hath will he give for his wife."
The Doctor returned it with the last
word corrected to read life, as it should. /
This correction, however, escaped the
notice of the compositor, and in due
'ime back came the revise, the passage
still reading call that a man hath Will
ne give for his wife."
With q heavy understanding and an
lsterisk to mark the offending word,
he doctor wrote in the margin "This
nay depend entirely upon circum.
tances. Before final decision YOU
lad better refer to the original proof"
