Swallowing a Cent.

DR.. Gibbs, one of the editors of Hats
Journal of Health, who is himself an
educated physician and surgeon, while
on railroad train the other day, was
consulted by one of the employ es on
the train in relation to his little boy who
had that morning swallowed a cent.
"What have you done for him ?" asked
the doctor. "We gave him dose of
castor oil" was the reply. "Good
practice SO far /; as soon as you reach
home give him the whites of three raw
eggs daily let his. diet be bread and
milk, and nothing sour" The direc-
tons were followed faithfully. the whites
of the eggs repeated every day, and the
dose of oil at night and on the fourth
day the cent was discharged. 1t was
one of the new copper coins, and con-
siderably corroded by the action of the
gastric juices. Since fatal results often
follow the swallowing of q copper coin,
the judicious treatment advised in this
instance should be remembered by all
who have the care of children. The
essential points to be borne in mind are
simply these Albumen or the whites OF
eggs, a bland diet free from acids, and
castor oil.

Autumn House Cleaning.

She has got on torn dress, hitched
up at one side sufficiently to reveal an
unbuttoned shoe; there are fakes of
whitewash in her hair and on her chin;
her dress is wet, her fingers are par
boiled, and her thumb has been split
with hammer, but her eye is as clear
and bright as that of major-general on
field day. She picks up handful of
skirts and skins through the apartments,
seeing five hundred things which should
be done at once, and trying to do them !;
and every time she comes in reach of
the dresser, she snatches look into the
glass, and shoves a fresh hair-pin into
hor dilapidated coil. And thus planted
in the debris, like queen on her throne,
she unblushingly asserts that cts an
awful job" Everything is in wretched
shape;" /" I'll be 80 glad when this is
over" ''It does seem as if my back
will snap in two;" Elm good mind
to say I'll never clean house again so
long as I live" And then her mind un-
consciously scars heavenward, and she
wonders if there will be ouse-cleaning
season there, and if not, how a heaven
can be made of it. 1t is this speculation
which gives her that dreamy expression
when she is cutting your bread with the
soap knife-Dantury NeWs.

Preventing Escape Of Heat.

Experiments have been made in France
to ascertain what kind of coating best
prevents the escape of heat from steam
pipes. After numerous trials it was
found that chopped straw was the best,
and that it reduced the loss of heat by
radiation from The bare pipes sixty-six
per cent. The next best way is pottery
pipe large enough to cover the steam
pipe and leave an air,space the pottery
pipe was coated on the outside with
loamy earth and chopped straw, kept in
place by straw bands twisted round the
pipe. This reduced the loss sixty -one
per cent. The next was cotton waste,
which, wrapped round the steam-pipe to
an inch thick, reduced the loss fifty-one
per cent. The next was waste felt from
printing machines, under which the re-
duction was forty-eight per cent. and the
last was forty-five per cent. with plas-
ter made of cows hair and clay. Ex-
periments made with view to test the
effect of color showed that the coatings
when painted white reduced the loss q
further seven per cent. - Chambers

Encounter with a Wildcat.

A Nevada paper relates the following;
VIM. Lyell, a rancher, living near Huff
aker's, in Washoe county, had consider
able of a tussle with a wildcat one
Saturday morning recently. He was out
hunting with couple of dogs, when
near the lower end of his rancho the dogs
scared up the cat, which being hard
pressed, turned and stood sullenly at
bay. One of the dogs, shepherd,
bounced into it at once, which action
the varmint" was waiting for, as she
soon had him down and was biting him
savagely. The other dog, attacking it
from the rear, managed to put the cat
on the defensive. At this juncture the
animal managed to disengage herself,
and made a rush for Mr.. Lyell, who had
been unable to get in shot for fear of
killing his dogs. He received her with
the butt end of his gun, breaking it
over her, but she, nothing daunted,
evinced such strong determination to
force the battle, that he was glad to leave
the gunbarrels in her possession. Rally
ing his dogs for another onset, and
grasping the stock of his gun, his sole
weapon, he boldly advanced to where
stood the cat with cleaning eyes, seem
ingly emitting flashes of fire, her tail
waving impatiently in the air, as if in
defiance of him. Quick as a flash the
feline sprang at our hero, who, with in
trepid courage, calmly awaited the com
ing event, and met her with a well
directed blow from hisgun barrel, which
he had managed to regain, laying hel
dead at his feet. The cat, on being taken
to the rancho, was found to weigh
thirty-three pounds, and measured three
feet four inches from tip to tail.

Bees in the United States.

There are two million bee-hives in the
United States. Every hive yields, on
an average, a little over twenty two
pounds of honey. The average price at
which honey is sold is twenty-five cents
a pound ; SO that, after paying their own
board, the bees present us with revenue
of $8,000,000. To reckon in another
way, they make clear gift of over n
pound of pure honey to every man,
woman and child in the vast domain of
the United States. Over twenty-three
and one-third million pounds of wax are
made and given to us by these industri-
Gus workers. The keeping of bees is
one OF the most profitable investments
that our people can make of their money.
The profits arising on the sale of surplus
honey average from fifty to two hundred
per cent. on the capital invested.

A Vast Estate in Kansas.

Mr.. George Grant, of Victoria colony,
Kansas, is the owner of the largest farm
in the world, with the exception, per-
haps, of that of the Duke OF Sutherland,
whose broad acres consist of hill and
heather. Mr.. Grants domain covers
576, 900 acres in the heart of Kansas,
about 800 miles west of Kansas City to
Fort Hays, the center of the tract. His
effort is to establish a model farm, for
which great credit is due him, as well as
for his successful efforts in introducing
imported stock, and showing the results
in crossing imported with native stock,
and also the best methods of sheltering
and feeding cattle in winter. Mr.. Grant
is going to Europe to arrange for the
bringing out of more people, and large
portion of high-bred stock, which he will
exhibit at the Centennial, with the in
tention ultimately of shipping it to Vic
toria. Mr.. Grant states that one herd
of eighty-one short horns of the Booth
strain sold at the sale of the late Mr..
TORS property in England at an aver
age price from young to old of $1,000.
They were of the same family that he
has at Victoria, and many of the animals
were bought for America. r..
Mr.. Grants colony has largely swelled
this season by immigrants, and another
English company has just bought 40, 900
acres adjoining the Victoria colony. One
of the New York Gunthers has started
with 5000 acres, and Mr.. Dickinson, OF
st. Louis, has bought two square miles,
and is out there now making arrange
ments for putting up a house. Mr..
Grant says he is more than satisfied with
the produce of his crops this season.
The rains have been abundant, but
last year the grasshoppers swept every
thing. One field of eighty acres Of
Hungarian grass on his farm has pro
duced 776 tons of fodder, and liz
bushels of seed, giving profit of more
than 500 per cent. on the cost of putting
in the seed. He put in 800 acres O.
alfalfa, kind of fodder much used il
California. The land will grow three
crops of this grass in year, at the rat'
of six tons to the acre, but it affects {
deep, dry soil. Mr.. Grant has increased
his flock of sheep to $1,000, and ha
1000 COWS. In less than five years h
expects to increase his sheep to 100000
His wool alone this season brought $11,
700 in Boston, at thirty three cents pc
pound. Sheep farming is evidentl.
destined to be profitable business il

Cabinet or ParlOr Organs.

These have become the most popular
of large musical Instruments. There are
now about two hundred and fifty makers
of them in the United States, who pro-
due more than forty thousand organs
per annum. Most of these are very
poor instruments. This is naturally so,
because there are few articles in the
manufacture of which so much saving
can be made 10y the use of inferior, i'm
properly prepared material, and inferior
workmanship, and yet which, when fin
ished, show SO little difference to the
average purchaser. The important parts
of an organ, made as we'll as they can
be, cost two or three times as much as if
made as low as possible. Yet when the
organ is done, it is not easy from casual
hearings to tell the difference between
the best and very poor one. Especially
when shown by enc who knows how to
cover up defects, to one who has not
special skill in such matters, it is not
difficult to make poor organ appear
good one.
The temptation to makers then, to
produce, at a fraction of the cost, an Or
gan which will sell almost as we'll as
good one, is almost irresistible. Hence
the fact that so few good organs are
made and so many poor ones, and that
the country is flooded with peddlers and
dealers selling these poor OF gans, which
pay such large profits. The buyer of the
poor organ does not fail to find out his
mistake after while. The thin reedy
tone of his cheap organ soon becomes
offensive, it works noisily and roughly,
is constantly out of order, and becomes
useless by the time really good instru-
ment would have been getting into its
prime. A good organ ought to last a
generation, at least; poor one may last
five years, with considerable tinkering,
or may break down much sooner.
There is one safe way. Get genuine
production of one of the very best
makers, and you cannot go astray.
Among these undoubtedly stands pre-
eminent the Mason & Hamlin Organ Go. /,
whose organs are so we'll known that
other makers are generally content to
claim that they can make as good an organ
as the Mason & Hamlin. They invented
and introduced the Cabinet or Parlor
Organ in its improved form, started with
and have always closely adhered to the
policy of making only the best work,
have shown such skill as has given their
organs the highest reputation, not only
in this country but also in Europe. AT
the Great Exposition at Vienna, in COM
petition with eighty of the best makers
in the world, they obtained the highest
medals. To enumerate the competitions
at which they have received similar
honors would be to give list of the
fairs at which they have exhibited and
to mention the prominent musicians who
recommend their organs as unequaled
would really be to give a very good list
of the most illustrious musical names in
the country, with good representation
in Europe.
One who obtains Mason & Hamlir
Cabinet Organ need have no doubt thai
he has the best instrument of its class
which can be made. --Nea0 York hide

A Chicken Story.

Well, you know she was a most as
tonishing hester up to the last, and for
the good she done buried her decently in
apleasant, sunny place. A few days after
I accidentally visited the spot, when I
noticed that the ground was broken and
by the grave stood young chick, great
ly to my establishment. My little son,
however, solved the mystery, telling me
that in the morning he was in the gar
den and heard picking noise where
the hen was buried, and in a minute
after that little chick put its head out of
the ground. The suns warm rays had
Matched it, the defunct biddy having
died with a fully developed egg in its
ova.

SlObbing.

The cause of soldering in horses,
like that of milk sickness, seems to be
ascribed by many to eating clover, but
to my mind, and that by practical test,
it is quite different. If any one will go
when the dew is on the grass and gather
a peculiar woven spider-web, and take a
small quantity and swallow it, he will
feel prickly sensation on the glands of
the throat, and for time will slobber
the same as horse. The spider is
small and red.

Hungarian Grass for Cows.

The following is the testimony of DR..
Loring respecting Hungarian grass ~
believe that I can get more milk with this
grass, cut and mixed with cornmeal and
shorts, than l can with the best timothy
hay cut and mixed in the same manner.
And when you remember that you can
raise on ordinary land, by sowing the
seed of Hungarian grass late in June,
from two and half to three and half
tons of good fodder to the acre, and that
this crop can be sown after we have as
certained whether we are to have a good
crop of hay or not, you will see the
value of this grass. have such high
opinion of it that on my farm I have
this year and last year raised from
seventy-fve to one hundred tons of it for
the purpose of feeding to my mich
COWS during the winter.
