AT barn raising at Ed. NJ. Wheat

that might have been quite serious. As
they were putting up certain timber,
it fell with Ed. Wheaton standing on it.
He fell about twelve feet, and was con-
siderably stunned.

1t is often remarked by strangers
visiting our State that we show larger
proportion of good horses than any
other State in the Union. This, we tell
them, is owing to two principal reasons ;

our people use Sheridan's Cavalry Con-
dition Powders, which in our judgment
are of incalculable advantage.

Alcohol as Food.

A popular medical writer makes the
following practical points
Liquor fattens whisky is good
tonic; bitters aid digestion. These are
statements made every day with con-
siderable confidence, and in a manner
well calculated to impose on certain
class of minds; hence, it is well that
the friends of truo Temperance should
have at hand the weapons of their war-
fare against the liquor traffic. If alco-
hol is food, why not give it to our
horses?
If liquor fattens, why not give it to
our beef cattle, our turkeys, and our
pigs a good dram of it night and
morning?
If whisky is a good tonic, that is,
gives good appetite, why is 1t that SO
many whisky y-arink kers, the men who are
always full and never empty, eat so lit
tie, and, on the contrary, almost live on
whisky? Give them plenty of whisky,
and they want nothing else but leisure
to drink it,
Ii "bitters" aid digestion, why is it
that those who take them all the time
are never well?
b1I suppose that Ill some cases Splri's
do fa'ten, it is watery fat (; gives nc
strength, but increases the inability to
work, and the susceptibility to all prev
alont diseases. IN cholera and all cpl
denies the liquor drinkers are the first
to die.
II liquor fattens, why is it that we see
SO many spindle -shanked drunkards
Whisky y-dlinkers are often long, lank,
and lean, with SO little flesh on then
bones that the skin seems almost tt
cling to them, and 50 tottering are they
in their step that the wind is ready tt
blow them away at any moment, and st
shaky do they become i'll the end, tha

Comb Manufacture.

One of the greatest comb manufac-
tories in the world is in Aberdeen, Scot
land. In this establishment there are
an immense number of furnaces for
preparing horns and tortoise-shells for
the combs, and between one and two
hundred iron screw presses are con
stantly employed in stamping them.
Steam power is employed to cut the
combs, the operation being performed
by this means with great efficiency.
The coarse combs are stamped or cut
out, two being cut iii place at one
time by ingenious machinery. The fine
dressing combs and all small tooth
combs are cut by fine circular saws,
some SO fine as to cut folty teeth in the
space of one inch, and they revolve
thousands of times in minute. There
are about two thousand varieties of
combs made. and the aggregate num-
ber produced of all these different
sorts Of combs, is about nine milo
annually. The annual consumption OF
OK horns, hoofs, tortoise-shell and but
falo horn, is, of course, prodiglous
even the waste, consisting of horn
shavings and parings' of hoofs, amounts
to hundreds of tons in IL year, and this
| becomes II valuable material in the man
ufacture of prussiate of potash, etc.

4 NIiSIlSei Title.

Thotitle of Esquire with us frequent
" abbreviated to Squire) originated in
chiva!ric times, when sons of gentle
men, from the'agc of seven years, were
brought up in the castles of superior
lords-w which was an inestimahle aelyant-
age to the poorer nobility, who could
not otherwise have given their children
the accomplishments OF their station.
From seven to fourteen, these boys
we're called pages, or vaiets at four
teen, they bore the name OF esquire.
They were instructed in the manage
ment OF arms, i'll the art of hofseman-
ship, III exercises of strength and actl-
vity, SO rs to tit them for tournament
and battle, and the mider giories of
chivalrous gaIlantry. Long after the
decline of chiyalry the word WAS only
used in Il limited sense, for the sons and
peers Of knights, or such as obtained
the title Icy creation or some other legal
means. Blackstone defines esquire to
he all who bear Office of trust under the
crown, and who are styled esqulres 10y
the king in their commissions and ap-
pointlnent and being once honored by
the king with the tide of esquire, they,
and only they, have y right to that dis
tinction for life.

Skin lSrafting.

DIR. Bells method of skin grating, as
performed in numerous cases at the
Royal Intirmary, Edinburgh, has
proved very successful. In procuring
portions of skin for this purpose he
takes them from some sound portion Of
the patients body, preferably from the
arm. A piece of skin is p!nched up by
pair Of co.lmon catch-forceps, and
cut off to the required size with IL pair
Of scissors. This piece is divided into
smaller pieces about the size of a grain
of rice, and is planted amorg the gran
ulations of the ulcer by means of a
probe, one small piece being sufficient
for about a square inch of surface.
Over each of the gratis is laid eutta-
percha tissue, half a square inch in size,
previously dipped i'll some antiseptlc
solution. The ulcer is then covered by
two layers of similar pieces of gutta-
percha tissue, placed on each o'her i'll
an imbricatcd manner, ana over these
dressing of antiseptic gartze and a
bandage this dressing is not removed
for two or three days, when it is re
placed as at first. To insure success,
before grating the ulcers should bt
free from fetor, and the dressing
changed under spray.

A Dog Carries the Mail once Il Week.

Mr.. J. Prosser, says q Minnesota
paper, lives at Lake of Two Woods,
Dakota, twelve miles west of the Min
nesota line. Several settlers live near
him, and, as they have no regular mail
service, letters and papers are carried be
tween the Two Woods settlement and
"Captain Herrick's,' at the State line,
by private enterprise. This service has
for some time been performed by a dog
belonging to Mr.. Prosser. The mail is
placed in small sack, and tied ebout
the dogs neck, when he is told to ego, y
and he goes-never once having failed
to reach his destination without delay.
Captain Herrich overhauls the mail,
gives the shaggy mail carrier Il good
dinner, and places the Two Woods mail
about his neck, when he is again away
on the return trip. There is 10 more
faithful carrier in Uncle Sans service
than "Curley'' has proven himself to
be. While performing his duty it is
impossible for man or beast approach
him.
Captain Herrick once met him on the
road and endeavored to relieve him of
his burden, but Curley was of like a
shot, never once halting until he had
arrived at the Captains own door. One
day last week MI. Prosser came to Mar
shall with load of furs, and brought
Curley with him. We were favored
with call from the noble animal and
his master, and, with several others,
listened with interest to the facts here
narrated. Curley is tine-looking dog,
rather larger than medium size, has
long, curly hair, well-shapel head, a
good-natured eye, and is of the breed
commonly called spaniels. He was
much pleased at receiving so much at
tention, and seemed to understand all
that was being said about him.

AMtiCipaling Fate.

Opinions in favor OF cremation are
gaining ground in Zurich. The discus
sion of the question is forced upon the
citizens by the peculiar fact that some
tombs have been opened in which in
terments took place when the cemetery
was established in 1S4S, and the re-
mains, instead of being decomposed,
present all the appearance of almost
complete preservation. The cemetery
is now nearly filed. \ meeting is to
be held to discuss the subject. A
I.eipsic professor has designed a fur
mace specially for the purpose of crema-
ton, which will do the work efficiently
in twenty minutes at the outside. The
body is to be placed i'll an upright posi-
ton inside of Il fire-proof receptacle,
through which artiticially heated air is
forced III Il current, carrying ALI The
noxions gases up chimney, and leav-

The "D0or Test" and Character.

A correspondent of the Scientific
.In1erican gives the following novel
manner for measuring mems char
acterS
During the last ten years, in the win
ter season, according to our daily re-
cord. we have noticed the manner i'll
which one thousand persons who called
for work lave opened, shut, or not shut,
onr store door; this you maysa is fu-
tile and useless undertaking, but we en-
tertain q very different opinion. What
are the facts and what the deductions :?
l. Out ef 900 persons recorded, %3'4
opened the door and shut it carefully
when they came in and when they went
out, without much noise.
9 Twohundred and twenty six opened
it in hurry, and made an attempt to
shut it but did not, and merely pulled
it to when they went out.
3. Three hundred and two did not at
tempt to shut it at all, either on coming
in or going out.
4. Ninety-six left it open when they
came in, but when reminded of the fact,
made ample apology and shut it when
they went out.
5. One hundred and two opened it in
a great hurry, and then slammed it to
violently, but left it open when they
went out.
6. Twenty came in with "How do
you do, sir p or "Good morning" or
Good evening, sir, and all these went
through the operation of wiping their
feet on the mat, but did not shut the
door when they came in nor when they
went outr
