manned, and that was to predict that af-
ter a comet had passed certain place
there would be a shower of meteors,
and the prediction would be confirmed
then there would be new kind of
evidence. The meteors following BIZ
elias comet furnished that evidence.
Alexander Herschel, in England, pre-
dicted that, when the earth came to that
part of her orbit-Nov. 26, 1872-there
would be probably great display of
meteors. That happened. It was a
glorious display in England and Ameri-
ca, but it was still more gloriously Sc en-
ia Italy, where it appeared with all the
glory Of the large meteOrs, with a great
number of minute ones. That shower
came from the foot of Andromeda, or
the exact spot that the comet would
have followed if it had struck the earth,
Here then is a very striking feature IN
the economy of our solar system. The
meteors are following in the cour-e Of
the comets.
Meteors are expelled from the sun
and from the larger planets, and this
can be proved. If comets and meteors
are expelled from the planets they will
be carried along with the forward mo-
! ton, and there is this curious fact that
| all the comets of short periods, the
whole of Jupiter'g comet family, travel
/ forward. They do not travel in all di-
rections of slope all have a very mod
crate slope to the path of the planet.
/ They do not have the slope even of
some of the asteroids. That is precisely
what we notice-that they travel very
| much with Jupiter. Taking the balance
| between the two theories-that of ex-
pulsion and that of capture-it seems
to be in favor of the more startling one
that Jupiter has had the power to ex
| pei these objects.
The fact must be remembered, thai
while showers of meteors are unusua
phenomena, meteorites fall every day
and every hour of the day. Our eartl
is absolutely growing by these. Tn,
time is actually past when the earth i
growing visibly, but yet immenst
amounts of matter are added to it il
his way. And not only the earth, bu
The moon and Mercury, and we ma,
say all the planets are growing unde
this meteorIc downfall. How are W
protected from this downfall, with 400,
600, 900 of them every day? The rat
at which they arrive Is very much nor
rapid than that of bullet. If Their
was no protection we should certainl
be destroyed. The protection is til
atmosphere. When a meteor encouI
tiers the atmosphere its velocity is frs
reduced, and then it Is consume
through the heat which is generated
and falls in the shape of a vaporou

A Southern Corn Crop.

1 have recently seen an experiment
in corn planting which [ think may
prove instructive to some of my brother
farmers of the south, at least. One
acre of land (red clay) was taken sum-
mer before last, after the wheat was cut
off, and sown broadcast with " COW
peas" When the vines had reached
their growth previous to Towering, six
ty bushels of Stacked lime was applied
to them. The whole was then turned
under with a twe-horse pillow. In this
state the lot remained until 4asE spring,
when it was broken up and laid off three
and one-half by three and One-half feet
q think the corn was planted, two
grains in a check. 1t received the usual
cultivation of this section-that is, three
plowings and two hoeings Except that
it was not bedded). The acre yielded
seventy. six and three-fourths bushels
by actual measurement. The seed used
is peculiar. It was selected by the gen
tleman who made the experiment, seve-
raj years ago, from a volunteer stalk
which had eleven ears on it, all of
which, however, did not come to pr
lection. The yield of the stalk was five
pounds of corn. This corn has become
quite celebrated, and is one of the many
proofs of the value of q careful selec-
ton. This yield of seventy-six and
three fourths bushels may not strike
the northern farmers as anything re-
markable, but if they will remember
that our average is only ten bushels of
corn per acre. they will at once see the
value of the foregoing to southern agri-
culture. One bushel of peas will broad
cast the acre and cost one dollar; the
lime here, scattered, will cost fifteen
cents per bushel. The lot is now in
wheat, and its owner expects it to pro-
duce twenty five or thirty bushels,
which for this country will be a good
yield. The experiment will not cost
much, and I am sure will repay any
farmer. Glover, perhaps, will increase
| the yield of both wheat and corn. One
acre of such land is worth more than
eight cultivated as we generally do

Railroads in Indin.

The first railroad in India was compile
ted and the first train of cars started in
1852. Since that time over five thous-
and miles of railway have been built
and put into operation. The East In
dia railway, northwest from Calcutta.
extends fifteen hundred miles, and the
Great India Peninsular railway.
northwest from Bombay, with its
branches, is about the same length.
Passengers by this line are now less
than three days between Calcutta and
Bombay, thus saving the long sea vow
age around Cape Comorin. In spite of
the restrictions of caste, railway travel
ing is very popular with all classes of
the natives, who are packed promiscu-
ously in the cars and, in fact, this
very mingling is doing more to break
down the distinctions of caste, which
have so long and so widely separated
the different anks, than could possibly
be done by any appeal to reason or con-
science. Science and civilization are
thus rapidly breaking down the barriers
of superstition and prejudice, and
promoting practical brotherhood, and
preparing the way for the progress Of
truth.

How to CaIcimine.

To ten pounds of paris white add
half pound of best white glue. Soak
the glue for twenty-four hours in tin
pail containing half gallon of warm
water. Let it stand near the stove to
keep warm. When about ready to mix
up your materials, set the glue-pail in
a kettle of boiling water, and stir until
it is all dissolved. The paris white is
to be put in a pail that you use for the
work, and hot wat stirred into it I'M
til it is thin enough for putting on with
q brush and the glue is then mixed
with it, when the material is ready. It
can be put on with large sized COM
mon painters brush, in the same man
ner that you spread paint; or use a
whitewash brush. The brushes used
by the calciminer may be had at the
drug stores, and cost from four to eight
dollars, but will do no better work than
a common round brush, as stated above,
and which Will be the best in the hands
of an amateur. A very thin coat is the
best, as a thick one may crack. You
will have to thin the material with hot
water from time to time. If you are
careful, there is no need in scattering
the wash over carpets and furniture.
Dip the end of the brush in as you
would in paint and you will have no
dripping.
One time I brought home q five dol
lar calcimining brush; but, after using
it q day, the hired girl put it in a pail
of water to soak, and the next day it
was ruined. Clean your brush when
done with it, and put it away to dry. If
put in water, see that the band does
not get wet and On no account permit
the water to reach the upper end of the
brush. You must bear IN mind that an
excess of glue, and sizing of -four that
some people use, will make the white
wish scale off.

THE game called " shadow-show is
thus played A sheet is suspended
tightly across a darkened room, can
die (never a kerosene lamp lighted and
placed upon the floor a few feet behind
it, and the selected players are ranged
behind the candle. All being ready for
the show, the players, dressed in any
comic way, may perform what funny
pantomime they choose between candle
and sheet, and their shadows will be
projected upon the latter to the up-
roarious amusement of the audience on
the other side BY jumping over the
candle, from before it, the jumper is
made to disappear very laughably and
surprisingly in the air.

CONE, LET Us REASON TOGETHER.
the afflicted in body, we offer a few
words of plain, practical reasoning. No
matter under what form of sickness you
labor there is one great truth you
should ever keep in mind, viz: All dis
ease originates in an impure condition
of the blood. Purify that, and the dis
ease must depart, for it has nothing to
feed on but you cannot purify the
blood by the use of poisonous drugs,
and exhaustive stimulants; the relief
which these afford is temporary and de-
eeptive, leaving you worse off at every
interval. The best blood purifier ever
discovered is DR.. Walkers famous Vim
egar Bitters, compounded of simple
herbs. No matter how hopeless your
case may seem, try the Vinegar Bitters,
and few draughts will convince you of
their virtue. DR.. Walker, the discoverer
of this priceless remedy, had been given
up to die by the physicians, and IS now
sound and healthy man from their use.
