FOWLS IN THE OLDEN TIME,

To Asia, and probably India, where
wild chickens yet abound under the des-
ignation of jungle fowl, the English owe
their domestic poultry. The distribution
of this useful bird is indeed strangely
irregular. Throughout the negro king
doms of West Africa, for instance, fowls
are plentiful, while in more civilized
Abyssinia and Arabia they are compara-
lively scarce. Persia abounds in poultry
while in Turkey few domestic birds ex-
cept the sacred pigeons are to be seen.
To Asia, too, belong the falIow deer and
the gorgeous peacock, while to her also,
we owe all our vegetables, with the bril-
liant exception of the potato. It is i'm
possible to conceive the poverty, so far
as vegetables were concerned, of the
England that passed under the sway of
Norman and Angevia kings. Some
hardy varieties of the cabbage did in
deed exist, and were supplemented by
long-forgotten herbs, which have since
been deemed only suitable to the rabbit
hutch. The peas and beans brought in
oy returning Crusaders were presently
eked out by carrots; but down to the
reign of Elizabeth the garden yielded
little tribute to the kitchen in Britain.

A CORRESPONDENT of the London
Pharmaceutical Journal states that, hav-
ing had reason to suspect the purity Of
most of the commercial lard offered for
sale, he instituted series of experiments
which led to the detection of large guam
titles of some farinaceous substance in
it. In quantity weighing 1864 pounds
he found as much as 22i pounds of this
foreign matter, and in another lot,
weighing 43s pounds, he found 12a
pounds of a similar substance. The
pernicious effects which such adultera-
ton would be likely TO produce in the
employment of these lards for certain
pharmaceutical purposes, and the dam
ger which might ensne from their apph-
cation to machinery, are obvious. Io
another case the analysis of some Amer
lean lard showed that it contained from
10 to ID per cent. of water, to per
cent. of alum, and about l per cent of
quicklime-the alum it is presumed,
being for the purpose of communicating
to the lard the property of facilitating
the rising and increasing the whiteness
of the pastry in which it is 50 largely
employed.

IMMENSE WATER SpoUrs

IMMENSE WATER SPoUTs Aus
trian steamship Jennie, which recently
arrived at the port of New York from
Mantanzas, narrowly escaped being
swamped by several immense water
spouts, while off Cape Hatteras. The
officers of the vessel say these water
spouts were the largest they had ever
seen. The largest covered an area of
half mile and were at least 1000 feet
in height. ''They reached far up into
the air, said an old salt, ''and were there
met by an inverted cone, just like the
others, which seemed to come down from
the heavens to meet them" They were
described as tall columns, apparently of
mist or spray, but in reality dense bodies
of water, reaching from the sea to the
clouds, and moving along with great
rapidity before the wind. Sometimes
they were straight, and at other times
inclined, but always whirling around
with great rapidity. The crew broke
several by firing guns into them, the
concussion of the air causing them to
burst, when they tumbled back into the
sea with fearful splash. The water
was fairly white with foam.

the company, who rushed into the cellar
and presently were heard bounding up
stairs. The house was tall one, but
soon shouts came from the roof, and
those on the street had hardly time to
look up, when there came two shots in
quick succession, and a dark body, rolled
up like ball. rushed down through the
air and crashed upon the pavement with

kindly took Mile. Cytheree into her
house. The remains of Surain were
carted away, and Gallaud accompanied
Collaert. Only the blood still remained
upon the sidewalk.
After all, Surian's secret was very
simple, like most of the inventions of
genius. He had an assortment of very
thin glass eyes, with perfectly transpar-
ent pupils, and these he wore and chang
ed as occasion seemed to demand. A
little practice enabled him to do this
without any inconvenience, the more so
that the workmanship of the eyes was
exceedingly perfect.

A NOVEL LAW SUIT.-When the great
fire occurred in Boston in 1872, several
buildings were blown up in order to stop
the progress of the flames. Among the
buildings thus destroyed was one occu-
pied by wool merchant named Arm
strong, who has since gone into bank
ruptcy. The stock ON hand at the time
the store was blown up was valued at
$50, 200. To recover this amount, to-
gether with $4,000, the alleged value of
the unexpired lease of the premesis, an
action has been commenced against the
city of Boston by Armstrong; assignees.
The plaintiffs claim that the stock could
have been saved, but the store was taken
possession of half an hour before the
fire reached it. a fact which renders
the case interesting is that the city au-
thorities decline to acknowledge respon-
sibility for the blowing up of that or
any other building, and there appears to
have been no authority whatever for the
proceeding

IMPROVING FURNITURE.-A writer ia
The Germantown Telegraph thinks peo-
pie would derive material benefit from
adapting bedsteads to the following
plan:
The Stats are so arranged as to pro-
duce partially curved surface, suited
to the form of the body. The depres-
sion is made by deepening the mortices
for three or four of the Stats, about
equally distant between the head and the
foot of the bedstead, SO that regular
curve is formed, two feet in length and
three inches greatest depth more or less.
In bedsteads having sufficient depth of
rail or sidepiece further modification
may be made by raising above the level
slat or two at the head so as to require
smaller pillow. This device, while it
greatly promotes the comfort of all per-
sons, is especially calculated to contrib
ute to the ease and rest of invalids !:
moreover, comfortable bed may be had
with thin mattress.
Common chairs may be considerably
improved by shortening the hind legs
by one and half to two inches. For
average sized male adults the front of
the chair had better be sixteen to seven
teen inches high for grown, full-sized
women, but fourteen to fifteen inches,
and less in proportion for children; but
boys may sit higher In front than girls.

JONES LESSON.-Senator Jones has
been tanght lesson in New York, and
that IS, that while he may be a great
man, he can't do everything. His rest
less temperament is not one that will
allow him to be satisfied with the mac
tlvlty of wealth already gained and
since the first of January last he has had
in hand no end of schemes to crafty
his money making love of speculation.
He has set up a hotel in New York,
gone into the ice making business, sew
eral other interesting ventures, but none
Of them fully satisfied him. He longed
to become a stock speeulator in Wall
street, and he went over to New York
some weeks ago in order to show Jay
Gould and the boys what a bonanza
mino4 could do. He went into Panama
stock when he was 35; got himself made
director, and went through the usual in
genious mode of initiating the stock up
to fancy price. All of this is very
easy to be done under the circumstances
that surrounded Jones. He had plenty
of money, and the Jay Gould combina-
ton, in order to more fully bleed him,
aided him indirectly in his plans. Jones
succeeded in working the stock up from
80 to somewhere in the neighborhood of
20. If he had they sold the stock that
he had, he would have cleared. some
100000. Senator Jones vas not
small speculator, however. Jay Gould
had not mistaken the man. Jones was
ambitious and desirous of striking ter
rors IN the hearts of Wall street by his
gigantic method of handling stock af-
fairs. He began buying Panama right
and left, until the stock touched 70.
He was still buying. Jay Gould and
his friends loaded him up until they
thought he had all he could bear, and
then they climbed on top of him and his
stock. Panama trlmbled to SO before
Jones had time to turn around. The
result was that Jones was about 800, 900
out. Thus Jones learned to speculate.
