troublesome inhabitants the chicken
will show signs of drowsiness and often
fall asleep in your hand, 50 tired and eA-
hausted has it become from continued
gaping. Few poultry-raisers know that
the sole cause of the gapes is the exist
ence Of numerous small, red worms in
the trachea of the fowl. Whether cor-
tain conditions of the weather or certain
conditions of the fowl act as producers
of these worms we are not able to say.
We only know that the worms exist, and
they destroy directly or indirectly scores
of young chickens and turkeys. These
worms seem to the naked eye each to
have double head, and both heads have
mouths, but when placed under the
glass only can the difference be deter
mined. The worms adhere firmly to the
windpipe of the fowl and rapidly in
crease in size and number until the
chicken can no longer breathe, and, I'M
less relieved, dies of sufocation.-N. Y.

THE following story is told about the
French writer, the late Jules Janin, and
the famous SanCy diamond:
The old Princess DemidorT used to
wear the Sancy diamond as shawl-pin
One day she went with her husband and
Jules Janin to visit the Louvre, and tax
ing off her shawl because the gallery was
very hot gave it to Janin to carry, at the
same time asking him to put the dia-
mond pin in his pocket until she should
ask him for it. Now you know that the
Sancy is worth 100000 francs, and
Janin put it in his vest pocket with the
same SG71gJro5d as if it had been new
piece of glass. On getting into her car
riage the Princess asked for her shawl
but forgot to inquire for the diamond,
and drove off. The next day she sent
round to Janin for her precious stone
But no diamond was to be found. The
vest, white one, had gone to wash and
with it the Sancy. OF went Janin in
trepidation to the domicile Of his wash
erwOman. In order to avoid suspicion
he asked her quietly if she had found
anything in the pocket of his vest.
mo" said she.
"Quite sure?" asked he again, bccom-
ing liTidly pale.
"Ah, yes, l did, by the way; big
piece of glass. My little boy has it now !;
he is playing with it in the yard"
And Janin rushed out to recover the
gem, the brilliant colors of which were
delighting batch of dirty urchins, who
were even then discussing the propriety
of SCATTERING the jewel into thousand
sparkling fragments.

Planting Trees.

A GENTLEMEN of our acquaintance was
recently giving US an account of man
he once knew-an old-style, well-to-do
farmer, as he was, who had founded a
grand old farmhouse and feared large
family of children-who was constantly
planting trees. When not engaged in
any other work he was always putting
down tree. No matter what the sea-
son, no matter what the weather, this old
farmer was always at his fayorite work.
Fruit trees and shade trees-about the
house, by the roadside, in the field
were always being set out. If one died
it was Immediately replaced, and the
locations and peculiarities of trees were
studied, that success might be more uni
form and sure. "Why do you spend so
much time in planting trees" said our
friend to him one day. You do not eX
pect to live to receive the benefits of
them yourself, do your" No" was the
brave reply, "but somebody will!' This
is the true spirit that should animate US
in all that we do, especially in that which
has to it anything Of an abiding and per-
manent nature. He who plants trees is
working for the good of those who are to
come after him, and the service is better
than that of building a house or erecting
monuments, inasmuCh as that which is to
live for centuries and confer its richest
blessings to all those brought within its
influence is better than that which is to
perish in a few years.
A noble tree, with its deep-rcaChing
roots and widcspreading branches, is an
object of beauty; and by its luscious
fruit, IFS refreshing shade, or its forms OF
loneliness and grace commands our ad-
miration and attachment. What u slight
task to transplant them when young, and
how they repay the cost in after years
by their varied contributions to our en-
| ioyment and comfort! And what last
ing and benetiCent service is he render
! ing to his fellow-men who at every op-
| portunity is planting trees which shall
outive the planter and confer their 81
lent bencdictions upon those who come
after him. This is a spirit Of true philan-
thropy, a spirit of working for others
who are to receive the benefits Of our
! labors, which is alike beautiful and com
meudable-beautifu because it draws
out the better feelings of our natures,
and commemorate because it brings with
! it pure satisfaction, and may he imi-
tated without fear Of being oycrdOnc or
refusing to confer its blessings. There
is, moreover, in the matter of fruit trees
a direct profit which is not slow in com
ing. The old idea that he who planted
an orchard planted for his children is
not true. If vigorous trees are set, tie
soil well prepared and the trees taken
care of, the returns from young orchard
may be reasonably expected in a few
years. A man need not wait long after
planting an orchard to eat OF the fruit OF
it himself, while to his children it will
be an Cvcr-increasing source of satisfac
ton and profit Therefore, & be eticltin .
down trees when you have nothing else
to do; they will be growing while you
arc sleeping. "-NHine Fa7mer.

How Adolph Dietz Lost and Found
His Wife.

& A MERCHANT tailor, named Adolph
Dietz, whose establishment is at No. 2007
Broadway, will probably remember as
long as he lives the sweat he got himself
into on Saturday night. Himself and
wife have been living together for twenty
years without the jars which are too
usually incidental to double cussedness.
hence it would come very awkward for
him to be without her On Saturday
evening Mrs. Dietz went to see neighbor
who was having a bad time with the ague,
or something, and she found the case such
a troublesome one that she determined to
watch it all night, for sweet friendships
sake. So she told the neighbor's boy to
go to Adolph and tell him that the pro-
gramme was such that it would be nee
essary to sing himself to sleep at once
The boy had all the. faculty for making
things 60 wrong that boys usually have,
and he got up sensation by sort of neg
alive course He didn't see the sense of
telling Adolph that his wife wouldn't be
at home, for Adolph would find it out
anyhow so when he found the tailor shop
closed he dismissed the subject from his
mind as good radiance, and attended to
other business.
Adolph wondered at first where his wife
was; then he began to think it was about
time she was home; then he began to get
nervous, and toward midnight he rushed
into the Fourth District Station and
wanted his wife. He knew something
must have happened to her, and the police
must find out what it was. Capt O'Neill
is one of the most agreeable fellows in the
world, so he telegraphed to everywhere
that the lines reached, and asked them if
they had found Adolph's straying wife.
Accordingly as cherries negative an
swer was received from some far-off sta
ton, Adolph would grow wilder and rush
off and rouse up another neighbor or two
to tell them his distress and ask them what
they thought of it.
Somebody saw yellow dog which was
in the habit of following Mrs. Dietz
sometimes coming up from toward the
river, and Adolph was informed of it.
Then he knew that his lost half was float
ing down the Mississippi, and he rushed
off to tell the police about it and get them

MACREADY in his "reminiscences re-
cords striking instance of thin house.
1t was at Berwick, where Macready had
been playing to crowded houses in the
| Old malt-house, on the night of the gen.
eral illumination for the triumph of the
| Allies: "To my surprise my father gave
directions for performance on that
evening. 1t was in vain that reasoned
with him, stating my conviction that

the players could hardly be persuaded
that he was in earnest, but the night ar
rived and they were obliged to dress for
their parts. At seven O'clock the prompter
went to my fathers dressing-room
knocked, and inquired, Sir, shall l ring
in the music? There is no one in the
house Certainly, sir; ring in the
music was his answer. The music was
rung; the musicians went into the
orchestra and began to play. l went
into my fathers room and informed him
that there were two boys in the gall
lery and one man in the pit, ana would
go into the boxes that there might be an
appearance in all Accordingly took
my place in the center box, and, with

indeed sternly begin the part of the

the performers, who had difficulty in re-
straining their disposition to make Joke
of the whole affair. A scene or two was
quite sufficient, and left the remaining
three-quarters of the audience to their
amusement, preferring walk round the
walls of our good town on lovely
summer evening until the inhabitants
should begin to light up. About nine
o'clock thought l would look in again
to see whether the farce was really going
on. The play had just concluded and
the pit audience went out. The two
boys remained in the gallery, evidently
tired out with the dullness of their even
ing; but when the musicians reappeared
in the orchestra and began the overture
of the afterplece it seemed as if their
power of endurance was exhausted, and,
leaning over the balustrade, one of them,
with a violent gesture of his arm, called
out: ooh, dang it, give Overt and both
walked out, leaving the players to I'M
dress themselves and go out in their own
clothes to see the illumination.

Be Your Own Right Hand Man.

| People who have been bolstered up and
leyered along all their lives are seldom
good for anything in crisis. When
misfortunes come they look around for
somebody TO cling or TO lean upon. If
| the prop is not there down they go
Once down, they are helpless as capsized
turtles or endorsed men in armor, and
cannot find their feet again without as
sistance. Such silken fellows no more
resemble elf-made men who have fought
their way 10 position, making difficulties
their stepping-stones, and deriving deter
mination from defeat than vines resemble
oaks, or suffering rush lights the stars
of heaven. Effort persisted into achieve
ment trains man to selfreliance, and
when he has proved 10 the world that he
can trust himself, the world will trust him.
We say, therefore, that it is unwse to de-
prive young men of the advantages which
result from energetic action by boost
ing" them over obstacles which they ought
to be able to surmount. No one ever
swan well who placed his whole conf
dence in cork jacket, and if, when
breastfng the sea of life, we cannot buoy
ourselves up and try to force ourselves
ahead by dint of our own energies we are
not worth salvage, and it is of little cense
quence whether we " sink or swim, sur
vive or perish"
One of the best lessons man can give
to his son is this: WOrk-strenptl,en

would strengthen your muscles, by vigor-
Gus exertion. Learn to conquer circum-
stances; you are then independent of for

have left their marks on the eras in which
they lived were trained in rough school.
They did not mount their high position
by the help Of leverage; they ieaped into
chasms, grappled with the opposing rocks,
avoided the avalanche, and when the goal
was reached felt that but for the toll that
had strengthened them as they strove it

Artificial Ice.

SPEAKING of the ice.works of the manu-
featuring company at Montgomery, Ala,
q correspondent of the 4dpertiser gives the
following interesting account of the
manner in which the great trigid luxury
is made: Seventy thousand gallons of
water are used daily in the manufacture
of Il, 900 pounds of ice, the cost of which,
when placed in the ice-house, is about
ree-eighths ola cent per pound, which is
cheaper than the freight from the lakes if
the ice was put on the cars gratis, besides
the advantage Of getting it in small quaint.
ties when desired and being much cleaner
and purer than ake-ice.
The distilled water is put in tin cans
thirty inches long, nine and half inches
wide and two and three-fourths inches
thick, which leaves the ice in convenient
shape for handling These cans are then
placed in rows in tanks filled with salt
water Though Of course the salt water does
not come quite to the tops of the cans so
as to mix the distilled water which they
contain), through which iron pipes con-
duct the ether The ether is made in an
other room, and after being purified is
pumped into a receiver and brought under
= pressure of 70 70 no pounds to the
square inch, which liquidizes it. 1t is
then forced through a small tube to
larger tube which opens into all the pipes
in the tank (about 100 pipes in each Tank;
1t then expands into a gas and fills all the
tubes Gts capacity for expansion being a
l TO 600). Hs ...

water which surrounds the tubes, thus
equalizing the temperature and bringing
the whole below the freezing point-the
| distilled water freezing very readily and
the salt water being brought down several
degrees colder than ice, yet without freez-
Ing The gas passes on through the pipes
and into receiver, from which it is
pumped into an ether holder and again re-
duced to liquid by pressure, which is ia
cilitated by passing it through long coil
of pipe surrounded by cold water. 1t is
then forced through the tubes again and
performs the same work over. Some Of
the ether gas-pipes were covered with
snow to the depth of three quarters of an
inch, which collected from the surround
ing atmosphere, 1t is very difficult to
| contine it, but if not allowed to escape the
same quantity can be used continually.
1t is said TO be much better than mercury,
as the latter eats out copper pipes in a
short time, and iron pipes in about two
years, while the latter does not affect the
metals.
The cans are taken out one at time and
dipped into vat Of hot water, which
loosens the cake of ice, which then slips
out and the can is again filled and set in
its place. This is done three times day.
These slabs of ice weigh twenty five
pounds each, and four of them are piled
on top of each other and allowed to freeze
together, making 100 pounds to the block.
These blocks are kept separate by placing
small sticks between them.
1t is said that this ice Is actually colder
tf such thing be possible) than lake ice
that in room at 100 deg. Fair, in sum
mer, it would not even show moisture on
the surface for fully fifteen minutes.

Revival q Perlshing Industry IN
Austria.

THE Pail Mall Gazette says: "Some
interesting information with regard to
Burano lace-work is given in Consul
Smallwood's commercial report on Venice
for last year, lately issued. The neighbor-
ing small island of Burano was in bygone
times celebrated for its lace-work, which,
when its importation was prohibited in
France, induced the great Colbert to en-
force the expatriation of a few lace-work-
ers to introduce their lace point in French
manufacture, and hence originated the
point d'Alencon' An aged woman, the
last of her craft who had survived the
manufacture, but remembered and still
worked at the Burano lace, was found.
Through the indeiatigable energies of two
patrician ladies, the Princess Giovanelli
and the Countess Marcello, distinguished
for their exertions for the benefit of their
countrywomen, a school was soon formedi
sixty-seven hands were engaged, but only
ten at time could receive tuition, owing
to the infirm state of this old woman.
Some hundred girls are now wait
ing to be admitted to the school
for the needed instruction. The i'm
mediate demand upon the first speci-
mems was extraordinary. The cost,
which is actually 100 francs per meter Of
the width of about twelve centimeters, is
considered to be under its value. II takes
$50 days of five working hours per diem
to produce single meter by one work
woman, her pay being fifty centimes,
about five pence, per diem. The gros
point de Venise is also to be revived at
Burano. The distinguished engineer, DR..
Fambri (six years Deputy to the italian
Parliament, has published the following
estimate of the labor of manufacture of one
meter of this lace, of quality never sur
passed in ancient times, namely: l. Three
months wages of one hand for the net
work; 2. One months wages of ora hand
for the flowers; g. An extra months
wages for the ornamental border. DR..
Fambri suggests that this industry should
be developed, were it only 10 save the
secret of the art, as no kind of manufact-
ure exists more capable Of giving Sus-
tenance to thousands with amerclynominal
capital Ii is to be regretted that women
in England, pending their attainment of
their political and other rights, do not pay
more attention to Industries Of this nature
and thus acquire not only that independ-
ence but also that sustenance of which too
many Of them stand in need"

A Small POx Incident in New York.

SMALLPOX is prevalent in the German
districts on the east side of the city, and
the health officers meet with much oppo-
sition in removing patients to the Public
Pest Hospital. Yesterday a case was re-
ported at No. 1877 Stanton street, and
doctor and assistant were sent in an am
bulance. They mounted the narrow stair
ways to the top floor and Knocked at the
door, which was Immediately opened by
a woman. When she saw who were her
visitors she shrieked and endeavOred to
push the door to again, but the men kept
it open without difficulty. "You shan't
take my husband the woman said, dog
gedly. /" He's alone here with me and at
the top of the house" at makes no diff
ference" said the doctor, land | can't
stay to multiply words all night. This is
a tenement house and we won't allow any
cases to remain in Them Without fur
Their talk the doctor brushed past the
woman, followed by the ambulance man,
but the woman hung to their coats and
begged of them to desist. In a further
room man, Otto Christy, lay on bed,
almost unconscious. The doctor and his
assistant approached the bed, when the
woman rushed forward and, Selling them
both, pulled them off, and the two men
were obliged to have hand to-hand fight
to obtain possession of her husbands
body. While the doctor caught herround
the body and pinioned her arms to her
sides the other rapidly hoisted the dying
man ON his shoulders, spite of the agoniz-
ing groans of the moribund. The thought
that the husband was really leaving her
gave her renewed strength and she sprang
once more away from the doctor and
seized him, and he rolled from the assist
ants shoulders to the ground. They then
began dragging the body along the floor
to the staircase, the wife clinging to it and
shrieking dismally. Last evening the
man died and to-day the excitement among
the Germans is intense Friends of small
pOX patients threatened to mob small pox
officers, and the police were called on to
protect them.-N. Y. Cor. Boston Journal
