A Famous Agate.

A resident of Indianapolis has moss
agate stone, which he picked up two
hundred miles northwest of Fort Bu-
ford, in Decotah, Territory. 1t is set
in gold, and worn as a breastpin, is
nearly an inch long and more than half
an inch wide. The disposition of the
moss resembles very clearly castle,
with three distinct towers and long,
low wall extending back in the rear,
while beyond is the sea line very dis
timely defined. The castle seems to be
sitting on the brow of bold promou-
tory, and the view down the side in the
foreground is very much broken, and
there are two distinct lines of road
leading up to the gates. The combina-
ton of coiors is asserted to be very
striking and beautiful.

Ancient Baths

The system of public baths among
the nations of antiquity never has been,
and, probably, never will be, equalled.
1t originated with the Greeks and was
carried by the Romans to the highest
degree of splen6or and luxury. They
were the grandest constructions of the
kind in design and establishment that
architectural genius ever created. Their
vastness and grandeur of conception was
only to be paralleled by the elaborate
gorgeOusness and finished perfection of
all their parts and details. They were
the baths of the emperors, emulous of
securing public favor and perpetuating
their fame by the construction of archi-
tectural wonders worthy of Rome, the
mistress of the world. Cameron, after
Palladid, gives plans of the principal of
these monuments of genius and impe-
rial munificence. Nothing could sur
pass the boldneSs and richness of the
bas-reliefs and pictures which adorned
the walls and ceilings, or excel the
exquisite purity of taste with
which their massive decorations har-
monized. The rarest marbles, precious
vases, unique bronzes, the most elegant
columns, and the richest conceptions of
sculptural genius, with the gildings
and pictorial embellishments of the
first artists, all contributed to decorate
the interiors of these palatial structures.

of Iooseness of the bowels in horse we
would give half an ounce of prepared
chalk and half an ounce of ground gin

RYE AS GREEN AND DRY FoDDER.-
An exchange gives in its experience in
using rye as green summer feed, and
pronounces it as excellent feed if cut
when coming into ear. This has been
used both for horses and COWS. The
journal adds "To feed rye that has
been cut ripe, we would thresh it, grind
the grain along with corn or oats, cut
the straw in fodder-cutter, moisten il
with water, sprinkle handful of salt
and three-quarters of the ground feed
upon large pailful of the moist cut
straw. This makes a very good feed
for an ordinary sized horse when work.

Administering Justice in Colorado.

Administering Justice in Colorado.
from letter recently received from
DeNorte, we extract the following de-
scription of scene which occurred in
the court there, in which J. G.. TAYLOR,
formerly of Gerry & Taylor, of this city,
took prominent part
"Taylor is counsel for defendant in a
divorce case now being tried before the
probate court. By the way the court is
an ass, $50 to speak, as regards law.
During the whole trial Taylor's nerves
were taxed to the utmost to keep from
becoming angry at the rulings of the
court against him, when he knew he
was right. Finally when the Judge
made fearful ruling, Taylor sprang to
his feet, his face fairly blazing with
passion, and threw down the law books
on the table with such force that they
bounded high in the air. The judge
turned pale as death and shrunk way
back in his chair with awe-struck coun-
tenance. The other attorneys (plain-
tiff's) also got out of the way, scored
nearly to death. Taylor shrieked with
rage: L throw up this case. will not
practice before such court. By Cd
you might as well expect Hindoo to
keep track of the midnight marches of
the solar system as for me to keep track
of the rulings of this court, and the pet
tifogeiug of these attorneys. Get out
of my way (The last sentence to the
crowd) Mrs. A. the defendant, wept
and chung to his coat-tails, crying that
she would have no other attorney. Tay-
Tor tore himself loose and strobe out of
the room, the crowd parting like the
waters of the Red Sea Il think that was
the seal am little mixed on scrip
ture geography, when Moses fled from
Pharaoh. The court suspended until
Taylor cooled of, pacing up and down
outside, then sent for him in the name
of the defendant, ard he continued the
case. When he sat down the Judge said
in a meek voice, Il would like to speak
to you moment, Mr.. Taylor Taylor
replied: you know your rights, sir
you may fine me as much as you please,
but reserve yonr conversation for some
one else The Judge fined him $40 for
contempt of court, and then RENTED

BoTs.-Bots are the larvae of the
horse CAD fly (Esty7lS eget,ls), and are in
a condition exactly equivalent to that
of the caterpillar of a moth or butter
fly. They therefore can not breed or
reproduce themselves in the stomach of
a horse, being imperfect insects and in
capable of breeding. It is easier to
prevent their presence in the horses
stomach than to get rid of them. If the
yellow nits or eggs which may be seen
upon horses knees or shoulders in July
or August are washed off with warm wa
ter, or scraped off with the edge of a
knife, the horse can not lick them off
and carry them to their temporary rest
ing place. Every farmer should learn
the natural history of the insects and
animals with which he comes in contact;
then he would know how to treat them
with propriety.
How To TAKE THE "CowY" DOOR OUT
OF MmK.-One of the difficulties the
milkman and cheese factory have to
contend with is the cowy" or animal
Odor that appear in freshly drawn milk.
1t Is worse even than the animal heat,
or rather more troublesome to get rid
of. It is much more perceptibIe of
course in hot weather than it is in cold.
and varies in intensity with the health
and condition of the COW. To remedy
this an inventor has contrived the fol-
lowing: It is simply a tin pail, the
bottom of which is perforated with one
or two rows of holes. The milk is
turned through a strainer fastened over
the top, and it comes out through the
holes. 1t starts in streams, but before
it gets down more than foot or fifteen
inches it is separated into drops and all
aired. Well, we all know what a de-
Odorizer pure air is. Almost any
farmer can get up a simple arrange
ment which will serve the purpose very
we'll, or if he can't do it himself he can
go to the tinman and get him to punch
holes in the bottom of a pail and hang
it up over a can or other vessel, so thSt
IN dropping down through the air it
will be thoroughly aerated. But it
must be in pure sir. The air of a
filthy cow-house will not do it.

A Breathing Cave

In the range of mountains in West
ern North Carolina known as the
" Fox Range most singular phe-
nomenOn exists. 1t is q breathing
caVe.p In the Summer q current of
air comes from it SO strongly that a
person cannot walk against it, while
in Winter the suction is just as great.
The cool air from the mountain in the
Summer is felt for miles, in a direct
line from the mouth of the cave. At
times q most unpleasant odor is emit
ted upon the current from dead car
eases Of animals sucked in and killed
by the violence. The loss of cattle
and stock in that section in Winter is
accounted for in this way: They range
too near the mouth Of the cave, and
the current carries them in. Attimes
when the change from inhalation to
eXhalation begins, the air is filled
with various hairs of animals; not
infrequently bones and whole carcas-
SEES are found miles from the place.
The air has been known to change
materially in temperature during ex-
halatiOn from quite cool to unpleas-
antly hot, whitening vegetation with

bic roaring, gurgling sound rs pot

scientific men who have examined 1t,
though no exploration can take place.

eruption may break forth there some
time. Such things have occurred in
places as little uneXpccted.-[St.Louis
