The MaeIstrOm as 1t Is.

Nearly midway in London strait a
Il huge naked rock, which might fairly
be called an island, lifts itself above the
waters, breasting the conflicting currents
caused by the winds and tides. Between
this rock and the cape on Muskenoe is
the famous maelstrOm, which fertile i'm
aginations have clothed with many ter
rOrs. Its geographical position is such
as to expose it to fierce tidal currents,
and, when these are assisted by high
westerly winds, they are, no doubt, ter
rife. The bottom of the strait is strewn
with immense boulders, which are so ar
ranged as to give the current a spiral
motion, directed toward the isolated rock
from the northern side, which is much
increased in times of high tides and
storms, when it whirls quite around the
island rock. Then it is that it becomes
really difficult for boats and vessels, with
out steam power, to keep clear of the
rocks against which the hayward cur
rents would dash them. While there
are at times vast and powerful eddies,
which give objects floating upon them a
fearful spiral motion, there is nothing
like a vortex produced bya subterranean
discharge of the water, although the
tumbLng and boiling character of the
spiral currents may submerge Temporal
rily objects floating on the surface. No
doubt in the course of time the action of
the waters has tended to level down the
the bed rocks, some of which, we may
presume, showed themelves above the
surface. This may have made the mael-
strom much more terrific than it is now,
and better justified the ancient fables
As it is, in ordinary times and in favor
able weather, the fishermen do not hest
tate 10 seek for fares throughout those
waters, which to strangers are suggestive
of the most terrible dangers.

Best Food for Swine.

The food in winter should naturally be
of a stronger and more heating nature,
to enable the animal to lay on fat and
resist the cold successfully, not forgetting
the comforts of good playhouse and
yard in connection, as suitable shelter
enhances the value of the food. Corn IN
different forms, whether fed whole,
ground, cooked or otherwise, IS the
cheapest and best food if fed judiciOusly.
In connection with this some laxative
food must be supplied as well as fresh
water daily, to counterfeit the heating
nature of the corn, otherwise heavy
feelings of corn will cause skin eruptlons
and make the animals very uneasy, the
irritation being very great, and the
scratching against the sides of the pen
being great relief to them. II the
swill or slop barrels or hOgsheads be
where water will not readily freeze in
cold weather, take a mixture of bran and
corn-meal, boil lot of potatoes, turn
Ups, beets, etc, with plenty of water, and
as soon as they are thoroughly done
mash them well and put at once into
the swill-tub, the hot water and all, and
then put on a good quantity of the
mixed meal and bran. If there be not
enough hot water with the boiled veget-
ables, get some more-enough to mOisten
the mass-stir it UP well and cover it up
for several hours to steam and become
mellow. You now have a slop that will
not only keep the pigs healthy, but will
make them improve rapidly. OF course,
before feeding, more water should be
added to make it of the proper consist
ency. To every barrel of slOp of this
kind we add two double handfuls of salt
when put to steam; also couple of
quarts of fine bits of charcoal. This we
consider absolutely necessary to the con-
tinued health and well-being of the ami
mails. Patches of roots should annually
be grown for the winter food of swine,
the same as is done on hundreds of farms
for cattle; for it is an invaluable aid to
the swine breeder in producing good, fat
winter porkers. If any swine grower
tries the experiment one season, he will
not be in a hurry to give it up, for it
pays, and the pigs will thank you for it
in the pork and lard tub, as well as in
the enhanced appearance of the animals
while living-their smooth, clean skins,
and glossy hair showing health and good
living.-iStock Journal.

Brandy for the Insane.

ON the occasion of a recent visit of .
party of prominent citizens of Montreal
to the new lunatic asylum which has
been established by the Sisters of Provi-
dence near that city, Dr. Howard, the
medical superintendent of that institu-
ton, made some interesting remarks up
on his method of treatment which will
probably excite surprise among good
many of those who have made a special
study OF mental disease. DIR. Howard
said that in his opinion it was impossible
to treat lunatics and cure them without
liquor. He had tried it thoroughly, and
found no medicine that could be substi-
tuted for brandy-nothing that would
add in such a material manner to the
brain substance. He said, however, that
his theory was not new, for the most
ancient writers on insanity believed in
stimulation and applied it in the treat
ment of insane, but the modern practice
runs generally to the use of sedatives.
The asylum under his charge, further
had been opened for the reception of
patients only about six weeks, and that
thirty-two of them had already been dis
charged cured, while upon his books
there were the names of niney-two
more for whose ultimate recovery he had
the most sanguine hopes. On all of
these patients he had used brandy liber-
ally, and i'm every instance its effect had
been quite happy. He would recon-
mend brandy to every lunatic asylum in
the world, and no stinted quantities of it
at that

Napoleon III.

In the "Memoirs of Odiloh Barrot "
occurs this sketch of the character of Ma
po1eon III:
Gone of the principal traits of the
character of this predestined parsonage,
who was fated to reconstruct the empire,
was the knowledge how to yield; that
was the quality which chiefly dis
tineuished him from the first Napoleon;
and therein alone lay all his. strength.
To possess a. will as infexible dc fate
itself, to dread no initiative however bold
it might be, but at the same time to
know how to halt, to adjourn, to draw
back without any embarrassment either
of personal vanity or of pride, these are
contradictory qualities which, when they
are united in one person, make of that
person an exceptional being. These
qualities were marvelously appropriate
to the situation Of Louis Napoleon, who,
having neither the genius of the first
Napoleon nor his victorious prestige,
was forced to obtain by dint of cunning
and patience that which the other had
been able to bear away in lofty combat. y
During the disorders of the oath OF
February Prince Jerome Bonaparte, the
father of the present prince, came to
Madame Bafrut aid demanded the loan
of her carriage, in which to show himself
to the people, declaring that only a
BOnaparte could calm the tumult and
disarm the insurrection. His PROPOSE,
ton was rejected as absurd, "and yet,

tie in advance of the times"

The Bible in the Schools.

The Chicago Tribune says: Smith
and Jones were having it out lively at
Jones's dinner table the other evening on
the Bible in the schools question, Smith
condemning and Jones defending the
action of the board of education. "Ah, !"
murmuTed Jones, as a clincher to his az
gument, 'what more peaceful pleasure
in life is there for parent than to hold
his sweet boy On his knee and read to
him the touching story of Joseph and
his brethren? While so engaged a holy
calm falls upon the mind fatigued with
the mundane tolls of the day, and, as
the interested and innocent eyes Of the
child fill with the gentle tears which no
salaried schoOl-marm could evoke, the
days of childhood are"
Smith felt himself vanquished, begged
for a change in the conversation, and
shortly left in huff
Soon as he had gone Jones's four-year-
old, Tommy, crept to his side and said,
Say, pops, won't you read me that
story about Joe and his bulbs that you
and Mr.. Smith was talking about?"
Jones ordered him to bed immediate
ly, and when Mrs. J. returned down
stairs said "Jane, my dear, I've been
a-thinking and l guess if any of them
fellers that sells books on installments
comes around, and you can pick up one
of them parlor kind of Bibles right cheap,
guess maybe you had better make a
trade"

The Production of Cheese in the United
States.

The whole amount of cheese made in
the United States in 1870 was 162, 927, :
352 pounds, of which los, 435, 229 pounds
were made in factories, and 55,927 1882
pounds on farms. The principal states
producing cheese were New York, 100,-
676,014 pounds; Ohio, "a, To-, 856; Yer
mont, 7,814,879; Illinois, 1874, 004;
Massachusetts,, A, 131 300: and California,
3,595,074. There were 1918 factories
devoted to the manufacture of cheese,
employing 1907 hands. The capital in
vested amounted to $3,690,075; wages
paid during the year, $7O6,566; gallons
of milk used, 116, 466, 405; value of all
materials used, siA,os9, 2s4; of cheese
produced, 6,71O,5 500; other products,
Sol 900. The number of COWS supplying
one factory ranges from 100 to more than
1000, the average being about 400. In
1871 a factory in Chatauqua county, N.
Y, had registered as the whole number
of COWS, 1,734 During the year ending
June 80; 1873, G6,204, 0a4 pounds of
cheese, valued at $7,752,91S, were ex-

The Absorbent Power of Soils.

Sir Humphrey Davy was the first
chemist that ever gave regular course
of lectures on agriculture, which were in
the first and second decades of this cen
fury, before the British board of agri-
culture in the city of London. He found
by experiment that 1000 pounds of a
every fertile soil from East Lothian,
made perfectly dry, gained IS pounds
weight in an hour" exposed to common
air in the city named. A very fertile
soil from SOmersetshire gained Is pounds
in the same time. A sandy soil from
Essex gained IL pounds. A soil of Bag
shot heath gained only three pounds
One hundred and six pounds of dry
quartz sand placed in a proper vessel alb
sorbed % pounds of water before any
came through so as to drop. Calcareous
sand Chat from lime rock took up 30
pounds of water before dropping. A
loamy soil, 40 lbs. English chalk gained
IS pounds; clay loan, so pounds; pure
clay, 20 pounds. Here the practical
farmer has evidence where a reliable man
found 166 pounds of pure clay, thor
Oughly dried, probably in a large stove,
took 20 pounds of water before one drop
passed out of it. Such a soil is too tena-
y.
1t needs understanding, and does best
in meadow and pasture. A more lOamy,
open soil that will hold 40 pounds OF
water in 100of earth is best for all tillage
purposes.
The common dryness or dampness OF
the atmosphere is an important factor iii
the problem of fertility and plant growth.
A mixture of vegetable mold, sand, red
clay and lime salts, made pervious to the
air by the use of the pillow and other i'm
plements of tillage, has generally given
the best returns in crops, and drawn the
most moisture and plant food from the
ever-mOving atmosphere.
Plants and animals, when they die and
rot, fill the air with fertilizing gases; and
the cultivatoT of the soil wants to learn
how he may draw manure from the in
exhaustible storchouse with the least
trouble and expebse. Perfect tillage, tC
condense these fertilizing gases and va
pors in the pores of the soil, is the first
step in this direction. All plants that
grow on dead trees, rail and plank fences
rocks and stones, are very cellular and
porous. In the granite wilderness O
northern New York, deer, moose anC
elk subsist through long and cold winter;
on moss, which must contain all the ell
ements of their flesh, bones and blood

Ways in Which the Sun Influences the
Earth.

If we now turn to the sun, we find
that there are three distinct forms of
motion which animate his surface par
ticles. In the first place, each particle
is carried round by the rotation of our
lumininary. Secondly, each particle is
influenced by the gigantic meteorological
disturbances of the surface, in virtue of
which it may acquire velocity ranging
as high as one hundred and thirty or one.
hundred and forty miles a second; and
lastly, each particle, on account of its
high temperature, is vibrating with eX
treme rapidity, and the energy of these
vibrations communicated to us by means
of the ethereal medium produces the
well known light and heat effect of the
sun.
Now, is it philosophical to suppose
that it is only the last of these three mo-
lions that influences our earth, while the
other two produce absolutely no effect
On the contrary, we are, | think, COM
PEELED, by considerations connected with
the theory of energy, to attribute an in
fluence, whether great or small, to the
first two as well as to the last.
We are thus led to suppose that the
sun must influence the earth three
ways, one depending Oh ms IoVdlloI, all
other on his meteorological disturbance,
and third by means of the vibrations
of his surface particles.
But we have already seen that, as a
matter of fact, the sun does appear to in
fiuence the earth in three distinct ways
one magnetically and meteorologically,
depending apparently on his period of
rotation; a second cyclOnically, depend
ing apparently on the meteorological
conditions of his surface; and a third,
by means of his light and heat.-Prof
