TOCLEAN BRASs.-Brass ornaments should
be first washed with strong lye made of
rock alum, in the proportion of one ounce
of alum to pint of water; when dry, rub
with leather and fine tripoli. This will
give TO brass the brilliancy of gold.

ments and surface with a soft brush let it

THE IMPORTANCE OF A CHANGE OF SEED.-
Take two separate parcals of wheat, the
one raised about bone and the other saw
five hundred miles off; they may both
look alike, be of very little or no difference
in weight, measure the same, be even of
the same variety, and, if subjected to chem
ical alalysis, found to be substantially the
same; and yet, if both are sown contiguous
to each other, the product of the one
brought from distance will greatly exceed
that OF the other. This shows the advan-
tage of change of seed. The fact exists,
whether susceptible of explanation or not.

DIoGISG GARDENS IN THE FALL.--Gardens
are much benefited if plowed or spaded
up deeply in the fall, and the surface of
the ground left in its rough state-not
ra'Sed or pnlverized on top. BY thus ex-
posing them to the meliorating effects of
the winter frost they are rendered much
mellow and in better condition for work in
the spring. Not only so, but the hiding
places OF numherless insects and worms are
exposed to its action and their destruction
thereby insured.

BREEDING PIGs.-Says the Baltimore IS,n .

stOck-pigs farrowed in March or April
can be made to weigh "a much or more by
Christmas as those which come several
months sooner. And if warm pens are
provided the sows during CESSATION and
proper care taken the pigs may be dropped
as early as the month of February. In any
case, in order to make hogs pay it is of
primary importance to have improved
stock, and to provide the sows with dry.
comfortable and well Uttered pens. and
turn them in with the boar in October or
November, but in no case later than
December.

POTATOES FOR HORSEs-Nearly every
winter when have my horses up in the
stable, think that | will call the atten-
ton Of your readers TO the practice of feeding
potatoes to their horses. once came near
losing very valuable horse from feeding
him dry hay and oats with nothing loosen
ing. | have never believed in dosing a
horse with medicine, but something is
actually necessary to keep horse in the
right condition. Many use powders, but
potatoes are better, and safer, and cheaper,
if fed judiciously.
If those who are not in the habit of feed
ing potatoes to horses will try them, they
viii be astonished at the result. | have
known horse changed from lazy dumpish
one, to quick, active, headstrong animal
in five days by simply adding two quarts of
potatoes to his feed daily. If very much
clear corn meal Is fed they do not need so
many potatoes.
Too many potatoes are weakening and
so are too many apples. When was a lad
was away from home at school one winter,
and had the care of one horse, one yoke of
oxen and one COW, every one of which l
had to card or curry every day. The horse
had three pals of water, four quarts of oats,
two quarts small potatoes and two quarts of
corn extra every day he worked, with what
hay he wanted, and stronger and more
active horse, of his inches, have never yet
seen.-t6T. Country Gentlemen.

The Strange, Romantic Story of Henson Il.
Rains, Company X, Fifty-sixth Illinois
Volunteers-Ten Years on an Island i'm
the Ocean.
Ex-Congressman Green b. Raum writes
from Harrisburg, Saline county, H., to
the Chicago Inter Ocean:
You, perhaps, have not forgotten the
loss of the ill-fated steamer Gen. Lyon,
and the brave men who persisted with
her at sea, March 30, 1865. Many sol
diers lost their lives in the burning YES
sci, while others sought refuge in the re-
lentless waves and there found watery
grave. OF the many hundreds who were
aboard the Gen. Lyon, but twenty-eight
were known to have been saved; they
were picked up by the steamer Gen.
Sedowick four hours after the burning of
the Lyon.
The non-veterans of the Fifty-sixth
Illinois Volunteers, 205 in number, were
passengers aboard the Gen. Lyon. Five
of those men were saved by the Sedgwick
and they reported the balance of their
comrades us lost. After the lapse of more
than ten7years, however, one more of the
passengers of that ill-fated vessel turns
up at Guys Hospital, London, England,
and writes to his father near Golconda,
ILL.,, giving an account of himself. The
name of this man of misfortune is Henson
G.. Rains; he belonged to Company X,
Fifty-sixth Illinois Volunteers. After
his term of service expired, he and his
comrades were started home for muster
out, and were furnished transportation
on the steamer Gen. Lyon. Very soon
after sailing, the vessel encountered a
storm off Cape Hatteras, and in the midst
of it took fire and was totally destroyed.
Rains leaped into the sea and with Lieut..
Butler chung to cabin door. They
drifted upon the pillows for four days
without food or drink, and more dead
than alive, were picked up by a schooner
and left on an island, where Butler died
and Rains remained ten years. In March
last he escaped aboard the British man
don, and being sick, was taken to Guys
Hospital.
Application has been made to the Sec
rotary of War to have cur Minister at
London requested by cable to have Rains
cared for and funds furnished him for his
return home.
The stories of Robinson Crusoe and
the hero of "Foul Play" are probably
excelled in interest by the adventures Of
this gallant soldier, who, after serving
his country for three years, and partici-
pating in the victories of the West at
Corinth, Vicksburg, Mission Ridge, the
Atlanta, Savannah, and South Carolina
campaigns, fled from the deck of a burn
ing ship in mid-ocean, to find refuge on
the raging sea, and, with an endurance
scarcely to be credited, resisted death
from cold, hunger and thirst, and at last
is about to be restored to his friends
after captivity of ten years on a lonely
island. Surely, truth is stranger than
fiction.

Curious Calculating Machine.

There died recently at Three Oaks,
Mich, wonderful man-Mr. Frederick
P. Warren, the inventor of one of the
most curious pieces of mechanism ever
known. This production is called a cal
culating machine, and though hardly
complete, bids to become of such value
as to make famous the name of its maker.
The machine is beautiful in its appear
ance and astonishing in it's operations.
1t will use a multiplier or divisor Of
twelve figures, the multiplicand and divi-
dend being limited only by the number
of wheels placed in front to receive the
answer. The machine contains over
2,100 pieces, and yet it works with per
feet freedom and accuracy. 1t divides,
adds, subtracts and mrlltiplies, at one
operation, in fractions or whole numb
ers, as desired. BY putting the first
power of q number into it, the powers
of that number, up to the full capacity
of the machine, can be obtained. Diff
cult examples in compound interest for
long time, and many other intricate ex-
amples are mechanically performed and
the result shown by this marvellous ma
chine in few seconds. Scientific men
pronounce it much more wonderful
and practical prediction of genius than
the French Talking Machine.

sres first to obtain the judgment Of the most

Secretary Bristow is stirring up the revenue
thieves pretty effectually. Having captured
half hundred Western distillers who have
swindled the government out of enough money
to pay the national debt, he has turned his
attention to the New York importers who he
has reason to believe have not paid all the
duties for which they arc liable. The Secretary
has also decided to push thorough investiga-
ton into the alleged frauds in the building of
the Chicago Custom-House.

expended in the manner contemplated, but re-
manned in the hands of Quartermasters, who,
being under no legal obligation to turn over or
account for the money have had it ever since.
The Secretary of War refuses to entertain
claim for the restoration of the money to the
employees from whose wages it was deducted,
having no funds wherewith to pay such claims,
if allowed, and so an appeal is to be made to
Congress for an appropriation.

A Council BLUFFS seven-year-old
girl had been told not to put pins in her
mouth-as she saw her mother and other
grown women do. But the little girl
thought she knew what she was about
and had too much sense to swallow q
pin. Experimenting one day with a
parcel of pins in her mouth, one of them
got beyond her control. She did not
swallow it, for it stuck in her throat,
and made of her very good little girl,
but her repentance of that act came too
late. She did not touch any more pins,
but had great deal of unpleasantness
with that particular one. After strug-
Cling with it two months and suffering
with an abscess under her chin, she had
the satisfaction one morning of seeing
the pin on her pillow. The abscess had
broken, she had coughed up the pin,
and she has been happy ever since. She
expected to be little angel, but is very
well satisfied to be a very good little
girl instead.
