The Household Terror.

AII explosions Of coai-oiI lamps are
caused by the vapor or Gas that col
lccts in the space ajcvc thcoil. When
full Of oil, Of course a lamp contains
no gas, but Immediately on lighting
the lamp the consumption Of oil begins,
soon leaving a space for gas, which
commences to form as the lamp warns
up, and after burning a short time
sufficient gas viii accumulate to
produce an explosion. The gas in a
lamp will explode only when ignitcd.
In this respect it is like gunpower.
Cheap or inferior oil is always the
NEST dangerous.
The fame is communicated to the
gas in the following manner: The
wick-tuLe in all lamp burners is made
larger than the wick which is 10 pass
through it. 1t would not do to have
the wick work tightly in the burner :;
on the contrary, it is essential that il
move Up and down with perfect ease.
In this way it is unavoidable that
space in the tube is left along the sides
OF the wick sufficient for flame from
the burner to pass down into the lamp
and explode the gas.
Many things may occur to cause the
flame TO pass down the wick-tuJe and
explode the spirit:
|. y lamp may be standing on
table or mantcl, and slight puff of
air from an open window, or the sud-
den opening Of door, cause an ex-
plosiUn.
2. \ lamp may be taken up quick
ly from table or mautel, aud instant
ly explode
3. \ lamp is taken III an entry
where there is a draft, or out of doors,
and an explosion ensues.
4. \ lighted lamp is taken up
Hight Of stairs, or raised quickly to
place it on mantci, resulting in an
explosion. In all these cases the
mischief is done by the air movement
either by suddenly checking the
drait Or forcing air down the chimney
against the fame.
.. Blowing down the chimney to
extinguioh the light is a frequent
cause Of explosion.
6. Lamp explosions have been
caused by using chimney broken
oil at top, or one that has Il piece
broken cut, Whereby the draft is
rendered variable and the fame
unsteady.
/. Sometimes a thoughtless person
puts a small-sized wick in a larger
burner, thus leaving considerable
spaces in the tube along the edges Of
the wick.
s. An old burner with its air-drafts
clogged up, which rightfully should
be thrown away, is sometimes con-
tinued in use, aud the final result is
an explosion.

TOO MUCH LAND.

Do our farmers ever take it into
consideration that one-third of the
money they have invested in land is
worse than uselcssl Such is the
fact. We venture the assertion that
fully one-half of the taxable land is
lald that yields no revenue to the
owner. Our farmers own too much
iand-or, at least cultivate too little
% what they own. Ten acres of
timber land is amply sufficient for
one hundred and ninety acres of cul-
tivated land, and this useless surplus
is only idle money, but it is being
gradually absorbed year by year in
The payment of taxes. Much better
would it be, indeed, if our country
was divided into small, well titled
farms, such as we see in the Eastern
and some of the Northern States.
Small farms are more productive,
less trouble to the owner, and Weld
a far greater revenue to the State
than larger ones. Remember this,
and try and dispose Of your unpro-
ductiye land TO those who will cause
harvest fields to Lloom where now

ASHES FOR ORCHARDS.

The Scientific American says
"The point to which we now call al,
tention is, that our farmers and fruit
growers have ignored, or rather have
been ignorant of, the Importance of
wood ashes as a vegetable stimulant
and as the leading constituent of
plants. Even coal ashes, now thrown
away as useless, have been shown
both by experiment and analysis to
possess fair share of alkaline value.
We will relate only one experiment /:
Some twenty-five years ago we treat
ed an old hollow pippin apple tree as
follows: The hollow, to the height
Of eight feet, was filled and rammed
with a compost of wood ashes, garden
mold and a little waste lime Gear
bonate.) The filling was securely
fastened in by boards. The next
year the crop Of sound fruit was
sixteen bushels from an old shell of a
tree that had borne nothing of any
account for some time, and for seven
teen years after filling, the old pippin
tree continued to flourish aud bear
well.'

MANAGEMENT OF ERooNs.

If brUoms are wet in boiling suls
ohce a week, they will hccomc very
tough, will not cut carpet, last
much longer, and always sweep like
a new broom. \ handful or 80 of
salt sprinkled on a carpet will carry
the dust along with it, and make the
carpet look bright and clean. \
very dusty carpet may be c.CIn-cd
by setting pail OF cold water out by
the door, wet the broom in il, knock
it to get off all the drops, sweep 4
yard or so, then wash the broom a,
before, and sweep again, careful TO
shake all the drops oil the broom, and
not sweep far at time. If done
with care, it will clean a carpet very
nicely, and you will BE- surprised at
the quantity Of dirt in the water
The water may need changing once
or twice, if the carpet is very dirty

VALUABLE MICH COWS

The Chambersburg (Penn.) Re
positorv claims that DR.. Edmund
Culbertson, President Of the First
National Bank of that place, has the
most valuable cow in the country, if
not in that section of the State. This
COW had fine bull cali, about four
weeks ago, and since that time has
been giving large quantities OF milk,
the average being 3Gt lbs per day
The cream from this COW was preserv-
ed for one week, and on being churned
yielded the large amount Of seventeen
and quarter pounds Of butter. This
is an unusually large yield. The but
ter is Of rich yellow color, and is very
superior in quality. The cow is an
Alderney, and was imported from the
island Of Jersey, by Mr.. William
Massey, Of Philadelphia. DIR. Cul-
bcrtson purchased her from MIR. Mas
sey when she was fifteen months old,
for 5000. She now has her third calf
and is a fine animal. We mention
these facts for the benefit of farmers
who are interested in improving their
stock, as they know it costs no more
to keep thoroughbred animal of any
kind than it does one Of an inferior
breed.

A gardener is the most extraor
dinary man in the world. No man
has more business upon earth, and he
always gives good grounds for what
he does. He disposes of his THYME
as he chooses, and is master of the
mint. He raises his own salary, every
year, and it is bad year indeed that
does not produce him a plum. He
meets with more boughs than a min
lister OF the State. He has more beds
in his possession than any hotel
keeper can boast of. He makes bak-
ing his business more than his diver
sion, and yet his wife has plenty of
hearts cure. Distempers, fatal to
others, never hurt him, for be thrives
most where there is rapid consump-
tion. He can boast of more laureIs
than the Duke of Wellington could
boast. Is he not, then the most ey-
traordinary man in the world?

Accidental Discoveries.

Seeking to discover what mixture of
carth's would make the strongest

porcelain; he was on a sudden trans
formed from an alchemist into a pot
ter. When one Of Van Evck's
pictures cracked in the sunshine, the
artist experimental to produce a

He found what he sought, and found
beside that bv mixing it with his

of painting in oil MezzotintO owed
its invention by Prince Rupert to the
simple accident Of sentry's gun bar
rel being rusted by the dew. Henry
Schaiiward, a Nuremberg glass cutter,
happened to let some aquafortis fall
upon his spectacles, and noticed the
glass was corroded and softencd
where the aquafortis had touched it.
Taking the hint, he made a liquid ac-
cordingly, drew some figures upon
piece Of glass, covered them with
varnish, and applied bis corroding
fluid, cut away the glass around his
drawing, SO that when he removed
the varnish the figures appeared
raised upon dark ground, and etch-
ing upon glass was added to the
ornamental arts. Alois Sencfeldcr,
playwright and actor, thinking it
possible to etch upon stone in lieu of
copper, polished 4 slab for the purpose.
He was disturbed by his mother
coming into his small laboratory with
q request that he would jot down her
list of things for the wash, as the
woman was waiting to take the
basket away. Lacking pen and ink,
he scrubbed the items on the stone
with bis etching preparation, that he
might copy them at leisure. Some
time afterward, when about to clean
the stove, he thought he might as
well see what would be the effects of
biting the stove with aquafortis, and
in few minutes saw the writing
standing out in relief Taking up
pelt-ball charged with printing ink,
he linked the stone, took off few i'm
pressions upon paper, and be had
invented lithography. The pelt-ball
used by Senefelder was long indis-
pensable in a printing Office. A
Salopian printer, in hurry to get on
with job, could not find his ball,
and linked the form with a piece of
soft glue that had fallen out of the
glue-pot, with such excellent results
that he thenceforth discarded the pelt-
ball altogether, and by adding treacle
to glue, ,-to. keep it from hardening, hit
upon the composition of which
printers rollers have ever since been
made. So much for happy accidents.

The Heeeher Case.
ABOUT TRACY

From The NelC York S,aa.l
We trust, for the sake OF his reverend eli
ent, that Gen. Tracy is more accurate in his
statement Of facts and more faithful in his
delineations of character than he appears TO
be in his quotations. In his peroration he
has this poetical passage:
4" An eagle towering in his pride of place,
Hawked at and killed 10y mousIng owls
But for the inverted commas, we should
assume that Shakespeare was here amended
End improved by Tracy. He probably IN
tended il TO be an effective adjunct TO one OF
his own sonorous prose refrains; and for his
instruction we give the lines as their author
wrote them:
falcon towering in her pride Of place,
Was 10y mouslng owl havked at. and killed.
The change Of gender from masculine TO
feminine, although displeasing 10 the advo-
cate, may not be entirely unsatisfactory to
the clerical subject OF the application.
rFSonl The " Y Commercial Adcer.iserI
The sharpest bit OF wit that the great scan
dial suit has yet gwen rise TO was uttered
yesterday by Mr.. Moulton. Some one asked
him what he thought OF Mr.. Tracy's asser-
ton of a likeness between him aud the Judas
in Leonardo de Nincis painting of 'SThe Last
Supper" "Oh, don't mind it," replied Mr..
Moulton, ''but that picture aud the scandal
differ in one respect. The scandal hasn't any
Christ in it," Mr.. Moulton might have
added that Tracy ought TO go to Milan and
find out for himself that the Judas in de Vim
els picture has not red hair, and that the
''humble refectory" which he described as
being next TO the cathedral is at the other
end of the city.
