CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.-The ravages
of Diphtheria in Australia have been so
extensive within the last few years that
the government offered large reward for
any certain method Of cure; and among
other responses to this was one by Mr.
Greatbead. who at first kept his method
a secret, but afterwards communicated
it freely to the public. 1t is simply the
use of sulphur-acld. of which four drops
are diluted in three-fourths of tumbler
of water to be administered to grown
person and smaller dose to children. at
intervals not specified. The result is
said to be a coagulation Of the diphthe-
rite membrane and its ready removal
by coughing. 1t is asserted that where

But shall Vermont farmers ever have
such a college for their sons as this?
The nucleus about whichit might have
grown and been gathered. is taken from
them. But may we not hope that in a
spirit Of sturdy independence. asking
nothing Of charity from the National
treasury, the farmers of Vermont may
rise to an appreciation Of the Importance
and urgency Of the need. and establish
such college for themselves? Then
the two rival systems that Of the Pro-
fessors and that Of the Farmers, may be
tested side by side, and Heaven speed

If all the farmers Of Vermont would
talk in this psGnnel,.s1e might expect
something in the line Of establishing
real agricultural college-that is, if
after tqiliag for a century, they would
act IN the matter; bot when we reflect
that the farmers Of Vermont never gave
but one hundred dollars in aid of the
State Agricultural College, we are not
surprised at their filing the columns Of

MANUFACTURE OF RAZOR BLADES
The celebrated razor blades produced by
Rodgers of Sheffield, and which 90 to
all parts Of the civilized world, are forg-
ed out of bars of the very best highly car
donated cast-steel, tilted to about half
an inch in breadth and of thickness
sufficient for the back of the razor. The
blade is first nodded at the end of the
porter-rod and then forged. and the edge
being brought out the concave surface is
formed by working the side on the round
ed edge of the anvil it is then cut off.
and the tang is either drawn out from
the same material as the blade, or. if
this be Of superior quality, a piece Of
iron is welded to It. The steel used is
of excellent quality. so as to- undergo
the beating necessary to produce the
thinner part. while the back is left thick.
Some of the workmen are so expert in
forging the blade that they will produce
on the anvil an edge so sharp and even
that it can be used for shaving after be-
ing whetted. After forging the blade
Is smithed or beaten on an anvil, to rem
der the metal as compact as possible.
The blade is also slightly ground. or
scorehed. after the forging, on coarse,
dry grit stone, to bring it to the shape
required and remove the black scale or
coating. The blade is next drilled for
the JOINT and stamped with the name :
then hardened and tempered and ground
on milestone of from four to eight in
ches in diameter.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION N HAY
There are doubtless many farmers who
have experienced sudden and destructive
conaagrations in their hay-lofts, which
could not be ascribed TO any exterior
agency. Barns have been known to
burst into fame almost without warn
ing. save perhaps Significant odor, for
q few days previously, around the places
where the hay was stored. aud sum-
mer's harvest is swept away in as many
minutes as it had taken days to gather
it. These unexpected conAagrations are
generally accredited to tramps who have
made the hay. loft their sleeping resort,
but it is now asserted that such calami-
ties are due 70 spontaneous combustion
Of the hay. a circumstance theoretically
quite possible, but rarely considered.
The preventives for this danger are care
that the hay in the lofts is kept perfect.
ly dry. that it swell packed. and that
it Is stored in small heaps rather than
in large masses.

OLD MAIDS.

Under this head. the St. louis RepuJ-
dcoa-which we seldom quote com
acknowledgements the appended adj
mirable. eommon-sensey sermon against
one Of the marked evils Of our American
social system:
Among the popular and peruicious
decisions which seem to have gained a
frmer foothold in our own country than
anywhere else, Is that which ascribes to
the condition in life known as "Old
maid-hood" a certain sort of dishOnor-
ableness. If an American edition of
the Shorter Catechism were prepared. it
would undoubtedly contain this ques-
ton and answer; What is the chief
end Of woman ?''-'To get married !;
peaeeably if she can. foreibly if she
must Our girls are brought up on
this idea. They literally imbibe it with
the maternal milk. and from the time
they emerge from the cradle until they
bloom out in the glory Of long dresses. a
husband and an establishment are held
before them as the main things in this
world and worthy the supremest efforts
Of their virgin souls. Half Of the intel
lectual culture and nine-tenths Cf the ae-
complishments given in our female
schools have reference not SO much to
the possibility that the young lady may
have to support herself. as to that STRAIT.
egy which she is likely to exercise in
gaining a support by marriage. Public
opinion runs much in the same direction.
1t is assumed as self-eyident truth
that every woman wants to marry. and
therefore if she does not that the fault
attaches to our sex and not to her. For
the politest people in the world as the
Americans are acknowledged to be-this
Is a most ungallant assumption; and yet
everybody knows how widely it prevails
and what tremendous influence it ex.
erts upon those most directly interested
How often one hears the remark-"Oh
Miss Blank ought TO accept the first de
cent offer; she has no time to lose
she is a regular old maid NOW - Why
should Miss Blank accept the first de
cent offer?' Not because it is certain
her happiness will be increased thereby
not because she will be more useful, o.
more agreeable to herself and others
when married-but because she can only
escape from the terrible doom of ole
maid hood by that path. This is tn,
/ hobgoblin which stalks forever through
social circles, and frightens many ;
woman into the arms Of man whom
she afterwards finds no cause to love
This is the moral pressure which so oft
en- overcomes the instincts Of the bette
/ judgment aud brings before the alte
men and women who in future year
have reason to doubt whether the sacra
ment they there participated in was Q
God or the devil. Its no exaggeratiOu
we think, to assert that no small prepor
ton of the unhappy marriages which nov
libel Christianity aud civilization, al
the direct and logical result of the PREF
udice which exists against old maids
Such a prejudice is an insult to woman
