To Clean Giass.-This mode of clean
ing fine glass gives it great brilliancy.
Take finely powdered indigo. dip into
it a mOistened linen rag, smear over
the glass with it. and then wipe it of
with a perfectly dry cloth. As sub
stisute for this fine sifted ashes, applied
by rag dipped in spirits, will answer
as well. Spanish white is apt to make
the glass rough and iniure it.

Dyspepsia!
Dyspepsia is the most perplexlng Of
all human ailments. Its symptoms are
almost infinite in their variety, and the
fOrlorn and despOndent victims of the
disease often fancy themselves the
prey, in turn, of every known malady.
This is due, in part, to the close sym
pathy which exists between the stOm
ach and the brain, and in part also to
the fact that any disturbance of the
digestive function necessarily disorders
the liver, the bowels and the nervous
system, and effects. to some extent, the
quality of the blood.

Home Lessons.-The banes of domes-
tic life are littleness, falsity, vulgarity,
harshness, scolding, vociferation, an
incessant issuing of superfiuous pro-
hibitions and orders, which are regarded
as impertinent interferences with the
general liberty and repose, and are pro-
vOcative of ranking and explosive
sentiments. The blessed antidotes that
sweeten and enrich domestic life are
refinement, high aims, great interests,
soft voices, quiet and gentle manners,
magnanimOus tempers, for bearance
from all unnecessary commands of die
tation, and general allowances of mutual
freedom. Love makes obedience lighter
than liberty. Man wears a noble ale
glance. not as collar. but as garland.
The graces are never so lovely as when
waiting on the virtues; and where they
thus dwell together. they make a
heavenly home. ..

Ercommunicdted Insects.-Apr0pos of
the efforts in progress to destroy the
phylloxera and other insect scOurges
in France. a writer in La Nature gives
a bit of information relative to the way
in which such pests used to be pro-
ceeded against when Science, save so
far as it could be made to agree with
theological dogmas. had no existence
for the world. In 1920, the Bishop of
Laon formally excommunicated all the
caterpillars and field mice. In 14SS, the
grand Wears of Autun commanded the
parish priests of their vicinity to en-
Join the weevils to cease their rayages,
and to excommunicate them. In 155j,
the Grand Vicar of Valence cited the
caterpillars to appear before him for
trial. He kindly assigned them cOun-
sci for their defense, and, as they did
not appear, proceeded against and SEN
fenced them, IN eontumdcidm, to clear
out of his diocese, a command which
they probably Obeyed.
During the seventeenth century,
thirty-seven similar judgment, against
both insects and quadrupeds, were is
sued. One is on record, during the eigh-
teenth century, Illuminated against a
COW and there is still another. of later
date, due to Judge of Falaise, who
condemned and hanged SOW for kill
ing a child.

An Enameled Iron CeiliRg.-A cell
ing made of thin plates of iron, and en-
ameled, has just been put up in its
place in the central refreshment room
of the South Kensington Museum, Lon
don, and is probably the first expert
ment of the kind. The decorations of
this room were designed to resist all
dirt and impurities incident to public
room where food is eaten by an average
of 1O, 900 persons a week. The walls
and columns are majolica, the floor is
is paved, and the ceilings are of iron
enameled. The whole gives an impress
sion of perfect cleanliness, and every
part might be washed down by fire
engine weekly, if necessary.
The manufacturing part of this cell
| ing was done at Birmingham by the
Enameled Iron Company, the whole
enameled plates being sent from Biz
mingham, and painted with charming
aad vigorous arabesques by the artist.
Mr.. James Gamble. The work is high
ly effective and the experiment sue
cessful. In cases where it is necessary
to keep a ceiling clean and to wash il
| frequently, this material promises to
answer perfectly. and the artistic work
will last for centuries, as the design Is

Care Of Horses.-The London horse
book says: All horses must not be fed
in the same proportion, without regard
to their ages, their constitution and
their work; because the improprietv OF
such a practice is self-evident. Yet il
is constantly done, and is the basis OF
diseases of every kind.
Never use bad hay on account Of the
cheapness, because there is no proper
nourishment in il.
Rack feeding is wastefui. The better
plan is to feed with chopped hay, from
manger, because the food is not then
thrown out, and is more easily chewed
and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
salt dissolved in it, because it is pleas
ing TO the animals taste, and more
easily digested. A teaspoonful of salt
in bucket of water is sufficient.

Gro,vM Of Ort-hOrRs..-George Ged-
des in an article on feeding makes the
following remarks in the Country Gen
uemdn: r.t ~
81 owned a short-horn bull that on
the day he was year old weighed one
thousand pounds, having emptied his
stomach by a five mile walk, before
going on the scales, and no great effort
had been made in feeding him to pro-
duce great growth. l do not believe
that the most skillful feeding could
have put $50 pounds on him the next
year, and l believe that food given the
first year of life of steer or heifer
returns fully twice as much gain to the
feeder as it would the second year of
the same animals life. Why is this so :
Take the case of my bull, that at one
time weighed 900 pounds. He had
the waste of that l 200 pounds to pro-
vide for first, and after to add to it. If
we assume that - per cent per day of
his weight i'm good hay was required to
provide for this waste (and most au-
thorities say 3 per cent then he must
eat and digest % pounds of hay each
day merely TO sustain himself, and all
the flesh he added must be made from
such food as he was able to digest and
assimilate over and above this % or 30
pounds; this may be considered per-
petual tax on his fiesh-making powers.
This may not be full explanation, but
it is the best that tt can give of the fact
that young animals pay much better
for feeding than old ones"

Scieace as a Porcr in the World
By your very attendance on these
courses you have given the strongest
evidence of your appreciation of the
volume of chemical studies as a part OF
the system of education, and let me
say, in the first place, that you have
not Overvalued their Importance. The
elementary principles and more con-
spicuous feats of chemistry are so in
timately associated with the experience
of everyday life, and find such i'm
portant applications in the useful arts,
that no man at the present day can be
regarded as educated who is ignorant
of them. Not to know why the fire
burns, or how the sulphur-tr affects
the industries of the world, will be re-
garded, by the generation 'Of men
among whom your pupils will have to
win their places in society, as greater
mark of ignorance than false quanti-
ty in Latin prOsOdy or a sOleclsm IN
grammar. Moreover, l need not tell
you that physical science has become
a great power in the world. Indeed,
after religion, it is the greatest power
of our modern civilization. Consider
how much it has accomplished during
the last century toward increasing the
comforts and enlarging the intellectual
vision of mankind. The railroad, the
steamship, the electric telegraph, pho
Biography, gas-lights, petroleum-oll
cOal-tar cOlOrs, chlorine bleaching, an
asthesia, are few of its recent mate
rial gifts to the world; and not only
has it made one pair of hands to do
the work of twenty, but it has so I'M
proved and facilitated the old industries
that what were luxuries to the fathers
of our republic have become necessities
to our generation. And when, passing
from these material fruits, you con-
slider the purely intellectual triumphs
of physical science. such as those
which have been gained with the tele-
scope, the microscope, and the spec
troscOpe, you cannot wonder at the es-
TEEN in which these branches OF study
are held in this practical age OF the

Changing .Seed.-A change of seed in
agricultural operations is almost al
ways beneficial. Growing the same
crop in one locality, from the same seed
year after year, often tends TO deterio-
ration. The advisability of this change
of seed from one locality to another is
well instanced in the oat crop. Seed
grown i'm the cool atmosphere of North
ern Vermont and Canada is found to
grow more luxuriantly when resown in
the Middle and Western States, and
uniformly turns out heavier weight, TO
the bushel. If the same seed is sown
every year in the latter States, without
new importation. the produce per acre
and weight per bushel gradually dete-
riorate. The farmers of Bermuda al
ways grow their potatoes from Ameri-
can seed, and never from their own
seed. Hence they are able to attain a
remarkable success in potato culture,
such as we never attain here. Negeta-
BILE seeds should be changed frequently
and obtained from localities remote
from the farms where sown. The far
mers of England, who raise excellent
cereals, roots and grasses, are very par
ticular i'm the selection of seed, and pro-
curing it from foreign country, ifpos-
sible, aud in sleeping it in liquid ma
nure before sowing. In the north of
Ireland, where flax is grown exten-
sively, the farmers prefer seed brought
from Russia or Holland to that grown
by themselves, as they find the change
very beneficial. The finest bulbous and
tuberous-rooted Towering plants are
annually imported into England, the
United States, etc., from Holland and
Germany and the change is very bene-
fetal for two or three years. Forest
tree seeds, obtained in the mountains of
the Tyrol, germinate in other parts of
Europe with much creator vigor than
those of home growth.-Ec.
