Tunneling Niagara River.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
gives the following comprehensive state
ment of the plan and the cost of the
proposed work The fact has hereto
fore been stated that Civil Engineer
William Wallace had prepared a plan
for tunneling the Niagara river at Buff
falo for submission to and consideration
by those engaged in the movement for
providing additional facilities for travel
between this point and Canada. A few
facts in regard to the proposed plan
Will be of interest. It cOntemplates a
passenger depot on the terrace, near
Main street, with q railroad track run
ming through the terrace to Court street,
down Court street to its foot, across the
canal thence down between the canal
and the track of the Niagara falls
branch of the Central railroad to 8 point
assshort distance south of the railroad
bridge over the canal, where the cutting
Will commence. The tunnel is to run
under Black Rock harbor and the river,
and emerge on the Canada side near
where the old car shop formerly stood.
After the surface is again reached the
track viii be continued around the high
ground and join that of the Canada
southern railway near the Episcopa-
church. The whole length of the cut,
ting, including the tunnel, is 4 900 feet.
and of the tunnel proper 2. $40 feetl
The proposed dimensions of the tunnel
are thirty feet wide and tWenty5feet
high. The grade from the center is put
down at sixty feet to the mile. The
estimated expense of the work complete
is 81. 500. 600.

Fashion Notes.


Lobe earrings are going out of style.
Very few ladies wear diamonds in
public nowadays.
They now cut the apron front in bat
Iemen6 pattern.
Some of the ball dresses have two
overskirts and long train.
Skirts-walking skirts-have all the
fullness behind, the front being drawn
by cords.
Irish poplins are much worn this sea-
son. They are very handsome, for a
good poplin costs twice as much as a
good silk.
How shall make over my last years
suit is now the question asked by
ladies whose pas are not as rich as they
used to be.
Bonnets are gradually getting into
something like shape. The newest one
Is fac stD1ite IN velvet of a dish pan
with brim.
The number of buttons on kid gloves
increase. Ordinary street gloves have
six buttonss and evening gloves as many
is twelve.
At length the pretty Sicillienne cloth
begins to be appreciated here, though
merchants have had to reduce the fabric
TO half its original price.
Almost all bennets have q roll or
twist of velvet and silk under the brin,
thus making it look very high. Con
trasts of color are the exception this
season, though peach blossom with
brown, and lemon color with myrtle
green, are used with good effect.
A bonnet to match the dress is so uni
versal, that a costume seems incomplete
and Ineffective without If. Seal brown
and invisible green are the colors mil
liners have most call for there are also
stone-grays, plume-eolor, grayish-blue,
and pure dark blue without any purple

To Corn Beef

Pack the beef, cut into pieces weigh
ing not over six or eight pounds, into a
casko using 2 ponds of salt to 100
pounds of beef. In from two to four
days the meat viii be nearly covered
with brine composed principally of
the blood which was In the meat, and
which was drawn out by the action OF
the dry salt. Then take out the beef,
rims it well to remove all the blood, and
repack, using pounds of salt to the
100 pounds of beef. Then take for each
100 ponds of meat, pounds of salt, .
ounces OF saltpetre, 2 ounces of cloves,
1 ounce of Cayenne pepper, and 3
pounds OF clean light sugar or 3 pints
of mOlasses. II the beef is not from
young animal add to the above 2
ounces of saleratus. Dissolve the in
gradients in water, boil and skim, then
cool and pour over the meat, adding
water enough to cover all well. A stone
should be laid on the meat to keep It
beneath the brine. The 8 drying" beef
and tongues must be taken out in four
weeks, washed and hung up to dry.
Beef cured In this way will keep into
hot weather. If the brine is drawn of
in May and new put on, with or
pounds of salt TO the 100 pounds, add
ing also ! pound of black pepper, the
beef can be kept all through hot wealth
er, though it viii not be so tender after
the second brine is put on.-Cou1lsgy

Hints to Changers.

fears are expressed, even by members
of the order, that it may prove short

had a mushroom growth, and it's decay
viii be cOrrespOndingly rapid. To both
these classes, let it be said, that every
organization has within itself the ele-
ments of strength or weakness, and
these, not the rapidity of its growth,
nor the fate of defunct organizations,
viii determine the length of its life. If
the order is based upon correct princi-
pies, adheres strictly to the purposes of
its organization, shutting out ali issues
which past experience has demonstrated
would induce dissensions, there is moth
ing to prevent il from standing as long
as mankind exists and men prey upon
each other. II Is well known that there
are political questions that men can not
unite upon. Let all such be excluded,
peremptorIly and forever. Let every
issue presented for adoption be scruti-
nized most sesTchingly, lest there be
a hidden foe wrapped up within that
would breed rapid dissolution and crum-
bic the fair structure TO the earth. That
the order h g extremists within its pale
no one will deny, aud these men, in
their blind ardor and rashBess, are more
dangerous than the oVen, honorable foe
without. Let them be watched and
controlled, and their zeal turned 20 good

valuable Suggestions.


To put your newly acquired knowl-
edge TO practical test in the useful pur-
poses of life, being q member of the
grange you have a noble opportunity.
At this leisure time Of the year your
grange might meet weekly and discuss
the following or similar subjects, to-
wit
First-Care of implements. Hints: :
Where are they now? Answer in the
fence corner.
Second-Whai new instruments must
l have next year ? Hints Make up
your lists TO put IN your agents hands.
Third-Winter care Of horses and
mules.
Fourth-winter care of milk COWS,
and how to make them profitable.
Fifth-Wintef care and management
of stock, cattle, etc.
-Sheep-raising. Gan it be
made profitable?
Seventh-Winter care of sheep and
lambs.
Eighth-Which are the best breeds
for our purposes
Ninth-Which is the best breed of
hogs for our purposes
Tenth-How shall we market our
surplus hogs. on fOst-or In the Darrell
or cask :?
Eleventh-In a farm of $50 acres,
what proportion should be in grass
Twelfth-What In wheat?
Thirteenth-What in corn I?
Fourteenth-What in vegetables?
Eifteenth-What in fruit?
Sixteenth-The value of manure, and
how to. increase its quantity.
Seventeenth-The best time TO apply
It.
ighteenth-C Comparative merits of
deep and shallow blowing.
Nineteenth-The best time to seed
oats. Is the Oat crop profitable
TWentieth-The best preparation for
a corn crop. Time to plant. Distance
apart. How many plants to the hill
Twenty frst-The best mode of cul-
ture.
These questions may be varied jndefi-
nitely, and many others equally impOr-
tant and interesting added. There is
not time to discuss the quarter of in
teresting subjects in one year, if the
grange met every week the year round
| and yet have heard men say that THEN
oranges were not interesting, for want
of new subjects.
OF course there are other classes OF
questions equally or more interesting,
that every grange ought to take up and
discuss, and many of them are doing it.
But these should not be neglected
questions of business co operation, as
adapted to different sections and local
ities are of the greatest importance.
So also the question of direct trade
with the consumers of our surplus pro.
ducts. So also of a perfected system Of
crop reports and statistics-supply and

attention-T B.ALLea, IN Rural World

To Pickle Hams.

To every hundred pounds Of hams or
shoulders trimmed into good shape.
take eight pounds of salt, two ounces
of saltpeter, two ounces of saleratus. an
ounce of cayenne pepper and two and a
half pounds of light brown sugar, or
one quart of good clear Inolasses. If
additional seasoning is wished, add one
quarter of a pound of ground cloves /:
and IN the South, substitute one quar-
ter of a pound of black pepper IN the
place of Cayenne, as it is more distaste-
full to insects. If the hams are to be
cured in a dry pickle, mix these iDgred-
tents thoroughly IN tub, and rub the
meat well once every other day (espe-
cially on the flesh sides and into the
ends Of the snanks), until the pickle
has eli been taken up by the meat. If
a brine pickle IS preferred, pack the
hams closely as possible, rubbing them
with salt at the time. Then put the
above ingredients into water enough to
dissolve them, boil and skim, set awav
20 cool, and pour over the meat, add
ing warm (nos bot) water enough to
completely cover the meat, which mrst
be held down by stone. In four to
six weeks take Them out, drain and
smoke, or use without, as Preferred

exception to this rule. But it is purify
ing itself of hurtfuI influences, and is
rapidly settling down soberly to the ae-
c5mplishment Of the great work before
it. And it Is not the work of day, q
month, a year, nor a decade, but of
lifetime. an age-and the grange will
live till il is accomplished. The farmers,
everywhere, are in accord with the
movement, whether they are members
or not. It is the same spirit of reform,
alive all over the land, actuating a class
that do not vacillate, but, having an OBJ
iect In view, peEtinaciously cling to their
purpose until IL is attained. Entertain
no fears, therefore, for the permanency
Of the order, but let not overt confidence
IN its stability permit the relaxation Of
the most sleepless vigilance and Jealous
care.-W. e., az Ohio Farmer.

TunneIing the Alps.

1t is now proposed to tunnel the Alps
at another point, namely, at the famous
Mont st. Bernard, the piercement to be
about $3.50 yards long, the tunnel to
be constructed in four sections by
means of side galleries, SO that the
work may be completed in three or
four years, these galleries to remain
open afterward for ventilation and
other uses. A peculiar feature IN this
work is the contemplated establishments
of a station within the tunnel by widen
ing a suitable area of the level central
portion. One of the objects which has
led to this singular plan is that, pos
sibly for eoonOmy's sake, two light
trains which had made the ascent sepa-
rately, might be joined together for the
descent on the other side. Is is also
argued thgt, with sach an arrangement,
many travellers in the summer season
would be glad to attain the SUBMITS Of
the grand s.. Bernard by the inclined
passages afford by this arrangement,
and as the mouths of which stations
for refreshments and even for lodging
might be provided.

Use Of Cats WHISPERS.

Every one must have observed what
are usually called the whiskers on a
cats upper lip. The use of these in
state Of nature is very important. They
are organs of touch. They are attached
to a BED OF close glands under the skin,
and each OF these long hairs is connect
ed with the nerves of the lip. The
slightest contact of these whiskers with
any surrounding object is thus felt
more distinctly by the animal, although
the hairs of themselves have no feeling.
They stand out on each side OF the lion
as we'll as in the common cat, so that
from point TO point they are equal to
the width OF the animals body. II we
imagine, therefore. a lion stealing
through a covert OF wood in an imper-
feet light, we shall at once see the use
of these long hairs. They indicate to
him through the incest feeling any OBJ
