coaxed, he consented to 90. II. AIphonse
procured him little ticket that would al

part, when he and Mrs. Muggins were to
bring her home. Thus 1t was that Simon
found himself at a theater, and not only
that, but behind the scenes.
What Simon felt when he found himself
among that wilderness of ropes and wood

FOuling of Wells.

The most insidious process is that of
tie gradual fouling of the semiporous
earth lying between the source of the i'm
purity and the drinking water we'll. In
such cases the emulation is usually quite
or nearly constant; there is no opportuni-
ty for the air to restore the filtering power
OF the soil, and it becomes saturated with
impuritX inch by inch, until, perhaps aft
er month or perhaps after several years,
the saturation reaches the well; then ev-
cry drop oozing in from this source carries
with it its atom of filth. While the sup
ply of water in the ground is copious, and
while there is more or less circulation
through the water veins, the toulness may
be too much diluted to do harm; but in
dry seasons, when the supply recedes to a
depth of only few feet at the bottom of
the we'll, the contribution of drain water
continuing the same, the dose becomes
sufficient to produce its poisonous eff
feet
The dangerous character of the water of
such wells is often manifested by no odor
or taste of organic matter; the chemical
changes in this matter seem to have been
carried so far as to yield little more than
vivitying nitrates to the water, their Or
game character having entirely disap-
peared. Indeed, some of the most dam
gerous well-waters are especially spark
ling and refreshing to the taste. But the
chemical processes which have effected
this change appear to have had no effect
on the germs of disease-if germs they be
which retain their injurious character
to such a degree that the worst results
have often come of the use of water that
was especially sparkling and pleasant as a
beverage. "tSanitary Drainage Of

How to Grow Mushrooms.

Mushrooms may he cultivated simply
by taking manure from the stable in small
heaps. as little broken as possible, and
laying them about three inches thick on Il
hot bed made of alternate layers of tan
ner's bark and horse dung, the uppermost
layer consisting OF tanners bark about
two inches thick. Cover the bed then
with a little manure and about three
inches of good soil, and over all a thick
coat of straw. The manure containing
the germs may be known by the appear
ance of white threads running through
the little heaps, and these Jumps on break
ing will give forth mushroom smell
The shed behind dollhouse or stable or
house is good place for a mush-
room bed, as no light is required, but
only warmth and moisture. Calcareous
earth of any kind will greatly help the
production Of mushrooms. In Paris
there are extensive underground mush-
room gardens, several proprietors of some
Of the French mushroom farms having
many miles of mushroom beds, cultivated
entirely by lamp light. In all moist
climates they ought to be produced in
great abundance and variety. Being rich
in nitrogen and phosphorus, and consti-
tuting, as old Erasmus Darwin said, can
isthmus between the two great continents
of nature, the vegetable and animal king
doms," they supply wholesome, deli
cious and nutritive food, and would
amply repay the trouble Of cultivating.-

Fever Diet.

DIR. Luton, of Rheims states that for the
last four years he has treated typhoid
with an absolute water diet. Nothing but
good, fresh, filtered water, occasionally
iced, is permitted to be taken. AT first,
he says, it is taken with avidity, then in
moderation, and at last with signs of
safety; it is sometimes vomited at first,
but is soon tolerated; at the beginning of
the treatment the bowels may be little
relaxed, but they soon become moderate
and less offensive, and after time con-
stipation may ensue. The duration of
this treatment depends upon the progress
OF the disease; that is, between four and
hive days of water exclusively may be re-
quired, if the fever be treated as a whole,
but three or four days suffice if only the
intestinal element of the disease be con-
sidered A light Authorization may then
be allowcd-milk, unboiled, may be mixed
with the water and given byspoonfuls, and
if we'll supported for time, to be followed
by broth and soup. Under this treatment
the mortality is very low, no evil results
ensue, and serious complications, includ-
ing visceraI concessions and bed-sores, at
once disappear

Cellar-Drainage.

If the ground is at all inclined, even in
the wettest seasons, to be wet or springy,
whatever other precautions are taken a
drain should be laid all round the cellar
inside of the wall, and at least foot lower
than its lowest bed-stone, and carried
away to Il free and sufficient outlet. This
drain may be made of gravel or broken
stones, but ordinary land drainage tile
with open joints is usually cheaper and al
ways better, especially as preventing the
ingress of vermin. For the largest private
house the smallest-sized land-drain tile
will be sufficient. If the soil is unduly
wet at any season similar drains should
cross the cellar at intervals of not more
than fifteen feet. All of these drains should
have a slight but continuous fall toward
the outlet. and should be securely COW
cred by having earth we'll rammed over
them, the whole cellar bottom being then
coated with concrete. For small houses,
where cobble-stones or gravel are plenty,
if the foundation rests on layer of this
porous material a foot or more deep, and
if good outlet be provided at the lowest
point, the tile is not ncedfnl.-Col. Geo. E.
Wariny, in Atlautic Monthly for October.

ing over the shelves several times during
winter and spring none but sound, long
keepers are left.
AS warm weather approaches, and it
becomes more difficult to keep the apart
ment so cold as may be desirable for the
fruit, portion of the soundest and hard
est are selected and placed in shallow
boxes and showed under the lower shelf,
on the bottom of the cellar. The cold
cellar bottom keeps them at low tenn
perature, and the shelf above serves as a
cover to prevent air currents. In this
way we have fresh specimens of such
fruits as the Baldwin and Rhode Island
Greening at the middle of June, and we
sometimes keep fine, hard, fresh Green
ings into the month of July.
The three leading requisites for success
are: |. Placing the apples in cool out
house in autumn till freezing weather.
2. Removal of decaying specimens from
the shelves. 8. Keeping the temperature
as low as practicable without freezing, by
a proper adjustment of the hanging win
dows.-Cossntry Gentleman.

SDOrtsmen and Farmers.

The farmers as a class do not desire To
mar the recreation of any class of men,
and do not object to honorable sportsmen
killing off portion of the game if they
are only met in a proper spirit. The rule
is that the man of genteel leisure starts
out into the country, armed and equipped
with all the modern appliances for killing
game, and with the idea that he is going
among class of men who are beneath
him in point of intelligence and import
ance. Instead of passing in at the front
gate and asking permission TO shoot over
the stubble and pasture-6elds or unculti.
waited portions of the farm he skulks in
from the rear, travels through the growing
crops, leaves gates open and fences down
where cattle may enter, and if game is
found, shoots in all directions, regardless
of frightening horses at work OF of ihjur-
farm or gathering the crops; and when re-
monstrated with these men Of leisure re.
taliate with profane and insoi~ Mt language
and threaten violence to any person who
dare stop them u their pastimes, and MT
unfrequently FIJI their game bags with
poultry that may have strayed from the
barnyard.
Now let US see how farmers are treated.
When they have occasion to 60 to the city
or village they are frequently scoffed and
sneered at by the same genteel oilers, who
sit with heels elevated upon hotel or tav-
ern stoops, their turnout, dress and per.
sonal appearance subjected to the most
ungentlemanly criticism.
If they should attempt to trespass upon
private property an officer has them by
the neck and marches them off to the sta
tion-hOuse like convicted felon. If he
comes for the purpose of selling the prod
uce of his farm, he is made to pay rental
for standing his wagon in the filthy gutter
Of some narrow street, as is the case in
New York city, where they pay market
fee, but are liable to lie removed by an
officer upon complaint of any huckster or
curbstone speculator who may choose TO
set down few barrels or crates upon the
sidewalk.
After such treatment as this, it is but
natural that hostile feelings should he en-.
gendered: and if the sportsmen desire to
enjoy the sport of the field unmolcsted,
they should interest themselves and see
that the farmers are treated with some
consideration, rather than attempting to
pass arbitrary laws in our legislative halls
hope that the sporting men may adopt
milder measures to secure the enjoyment
they so much desire, and interest them
selves in having those privileges accorded
to the farmer which in justice he is en-
titled to.-John ODonnel, in 7urJ, Field

Keeping Apples for Daily Use.

The question is often asked-What is
the best way to keep apples for common
family use? We have found central
shelves in an apartment set off or devoted
to this purpose the most convenient. The
apples are spread on these shelves only a
few inches deep so that they may be
readily examined or picked over as fast as
decay commences on any specimens.
1t is very Important that the apples be
kept as cool as practicable after gathering
in autumn and before the freezing weather
of winter arrives. For this purpose they
are placed on the floor of an clubhouse
facing the north, and allowed to remain
there till about the time that freezing
weather commences, when they are re-
moved to the shelves of the fruit-room in
the basement of the house 81 This fruit
room (which is about ten feet wide and
thirty feet long, is separated from the rest
of the basement by an eight.inch brick
wall, and has cement bottom to keep the
air dry enough. Windows for ventilation
are hung on hinges, SO that they may he
opened or closed to any desired degree,
for the regulation of the temperature by
the thermometer. The nearer this tempera-
ture is to freezing the better the fruit win
keep. When the weather is warm outside
tile windows are closed to exclude the
warm air; when colder, they are opened
sufficiently to admit cool air and keep
down the temperature. a.f,e7+G1 g,
The apples being thinly spread on the
shelves, any decaying specimens. are read
| lily detected and removed, care being
taken not to disturb or tumble over the
sound apples which remain. An exami.
nation every few weeks during winter and
spring will keep tlAessupply clear of rotten
Among the advantages Of this mode are
the readiness with which the specimens
that will not keep are separated from the
others, and only long keepers allowed to
remain. When fruit is kept headed up
in barrels, which ;is a common mode, this
selection ard separation cannot be made
and while they keep better thus excluded
from the air, SO long as all remain sound,

specimens soon spoils all the rest ,.'sa

to remove those specimens which will not

TIE WAIDEN'S TEARS.

She sat within her ivied bower
A maiden, lovelyas the morn,
Twas at the twilight's holy hour,
Before the silver stars were born.
Tears glistened in her tender eyes,
And lay like pearls on her soft cheek;
Her bosom heavcd with anguished signs,
My heart grew sad, and faint and weak.
Earth holds no sadder sight than this
A woman's cheeks with grief's dews wet;
"What tales they tell of bygone bliss"
softly said, land sharp regret! -
" Perchance she mourns buried love,
vanished joy, a broken dream!
Sweet eyes, where grief broods like dove,
Thou showest of hope no cheering CLEAN.
"Sweet SOUL" cried, "why dostt thou weep
What woes upon thy young heart
saw the rose flush upward sweep
Her perfnmed breath came titfully.
She turned and met my ardent gaze,
As by her side shyly sat,
Then said-l listning in amaze
81 kinder want brsnd-new hat!'
