Mississippi Steamboat Racing.

Racing was royal fun. The public al
ways had an idea that racing was danger
Gus; whereas the very opposite was the
case-that is, after the laws were passed
which restricted each boat to just so many
pounds OF steam to the square inch. No
engineer was ever sleepy or careless when
his heart was in race. He was constant
ly on the alert trying gauge-cocks and
watching things. The dangerous place
was on slow, popular boats, where the en-
gineers drowsed around and allowed chips
to get into the ''doctor" and shut off the
water supply from the boilers.
In the flush times" of steamboating a
race between two VIGOROUSLY fleet steamers
was an event of vast importance. The date
was set for it several weeks in advance,
and from that time forward the whole
Mississippi Valley was in a state of
consuming excitement. Politics and the
weather were dropped, and people
talked only of the coming race. As
the time approached the two steam
ers stripped" and got ready. Every
incumbrance that added WEIGHT or
exposed resisting surface to wind or
water, was removed if the boat could pos
sibly do without it. The "spars," and
sometimes even their supporting derricls,
were sent ashore and no means left to set
the boat a1oat in case she got aground.
When the Eclipse and the A. L. Shotwell
ran their great race twenty-five years ago
it was said that pains were taken to scrape
the gliding off the fanciful device which
hung between the Eclipse's chimneys, and
that for that one trip the Captain left off
his kid gloves and had his head shaved.
But | always doubted these things.
If the boat was known to make her best
speed when drawing five and a half feet
forward and five feet aft, she was carefully
loaded to that exact figure-she wouldn't

convenient Labels.

ONE-HALF the pleasure in growing our
plants arises from the knowledge Of their
names and whence they come. In fact
we desire some little memorandum that
will remind us, every time we look at
them, what their title is, what their native
country, from whom procured, and some
times additional remarks of an explanatory
character. An ordinary flat surface would
have to be too large and unsightly, so we
use tOur-sided stake, one and three-Quar-
tiers inches in diameter, planed smooth
and painted white. They should be about
twelve OF fifteen inches in length and
pointed. When desired for use rub light
ly over the surface thin coat of paint,
and write thereon with a lead pencil,
which will last for two or three seasons
distinctly.
The four-sided stake or label is prefera-
BILE, as it is comparatively inconspicuous,
gives greater amount of surface for writ
ing upon, and always locks neat. 1t is
especially adapted for rose-beds, groups of
Towering shrubs, or masses Of hardy bor-
der plants. True, it has not the merit of
being imperishable; in fact, it should be
replaced rather too frequently, but we like
the appearance of wooden labels, and we
like to write upon them. The four-side
stakes for supporting roses and other plant,
may be utilized as labels by painting, says
six inches of the top white, whilst the re
mainder looks best green. This top may
then serve the same purpose as the above
named Observation-Disclosures.

The MOsIem Bride.

WE called on the daughter of Moham-
medan living in this city (Tripoli.
Though the girl had been married several
days, she had never been seen by her
husband. He had only gone to the mosque
when the ceremony was performed, she
taking no part in it. After the ceremony
the bride usually stays at her fathers house
nine days, during which time she sits in
state, decked in her finest dress and jewels,
receiving calls from her friends. Then
her 10Y is at an end. She must 60 to her
husband, take off her fine clothes and be-
come perfect slave, subject to the will of
her cruel master. The parents of the bride
were very poor. Her mother was dressed
in little better than rags, and was at the
tongua washing clothes. All the women
of the brides company had their hair
plated full of gold coins; these were heir
looms, and SO greatly treasured that a
woman would almost starve before parting
with one of them. The present given to
the bride by the family was an elegant
pale blue brocade silk dress and black
silk, embroidered with gold. The former
cost $3.50 The bridegroom's presents
were sumptuous lilac silk, heavily en-
broidered with gold; earrings of pearls
and gold, bracelets as wide as finger.
During the call she wore the bridegroom S
presents. The other dresses were hung
spread out on the wall.
We stopped at the house below, accord
ing to custom, and sent word we were
coming. The brides return answer was
that she would be glad to salute us. After
waiting about twenty minutes we went
upstairs, for she lived on the second floor.
She had not quite finished her toilet and
sat on the floor before a large mirror sur
rounded by finery. AS we entered she
arose and saluted us, and then returned
cOmposedly to her dressing. Of all the
strange and CHASTITY sights her face was the
most wonderful, as may be imagined from
the way which it was prepared, First,
hot wax spread over the whole face which,
when cool, was peeled off. This was
done to remove all the hair from the face.
Then whiting was rubbed ON till the skin
looked like marble. Her eyebrows were
painted jet black; her lips and large
spot on each cheek painted brilliant red.
On these red spots, on her forehead, and
at the corners of her mouth gilt flowers
were pasted. Then over the whole face
powdered sugar had been snapped, which
made it sparkle as with diamond dust
She wore pearl earrings, and around her
neck were string of large amber beads,
three strings of roped pearls, and curious
necklace, which we were privately told
was borrowed for the occasion. 1t was
made Of five pound gold pieces, overlap
ping each other like scales. The usual
head-dress was covered with real and
artificial flowers. The finishing touch
was put on in the shape of a piece Of
black wax, heated over the danoon till very
hot, made round and fiat, and then stuck

Handling CObras.

A correspondent of the London Times
who was present at the Geological Gardens
when about a dozen Indian cobras were
removed from the box in which they had
travelled into a clean, though narrow,
cage describes the mode in which those
deadly reptiles were handled by the keeper
as truly astonishing. With his long
handled wire hook he from respectful
distance managed to draw out snake tail
first, and, catching it by the tip, let it
gently down, head foremost, into its new
cage, the lid of which, a glass slide, was
open just wide enough to receive it. One
after another eight cobras were thus re-
moved and safely housed, some dilating
their hood" and angrily Kissing as they
tried to strike whatever object they could
reach. Snake -charmers and Indian lug
glers thus handle the cobras with impuni-
ty. Suspended by the tail they arc power
less to raise themselves and wound the
hand that holds them; but care must be
taken lest the creatures strike at the limbs.
The specimens just arrived are Najo.
trapudadnS, the common cobra of Ihnia.
One other OF the same species, but a sickly
snake, is already in the gardens; another
died lately. In their narrow prison-house
the new family presented miserable ap-
pearance. Ample space to battle and
move freely would be their almost only
chance of health, and it is to be hoped that
when the lions new and commodious
quarters are ready to receive them a more
suitable home will be built for the ophid
ians. Several of these new cobras were
found to be already dead.

Hay-Making.

There is so great diversity of opinion
on the subject of hay-making that it seems
singular that farmers should not more
carefully study the questions connected
Herewith; and yet it is undoubtedly true
that not one farmer in ten can give the
reason why he cuts his hay just as the
last Of it is going out of blossom, or cuts
it when nearly ripe; for there are those
who practice and stoutly maintain that
either of these plans is best.
The real facts in the case are, the or
ganic materials in the hay are not essen
TALLY different in quantity, cut in the two
seasons we have mentioned; but the di-
gestibility of the two products is very es-
sentially different. Careful experiments
have shown that the eafly-cut hay is di-
gested and assimilated to the extent of
from IL to 20 per cent more than the late
hay, other things being equal.
Many city stablemen prefer hay cut
when tolerably ripe, from the fact that
they can better afford to feed grain than
hay, for the reason that it is generally
cheaper, and therefore feed only so much
hay as is necessary to divide the grain and
properly distend the stomachs of their
horses. When the hay is to be fed on the
farm, and especially when it is to be fed
W CultlC, lHCIG 10 liz uOuUI JlldJ early
grass is far more economical than that al
lowed to get nearly ripe before it is made
into hay.
One of the great mistakes in hay-mak-
ing is, the grass is allowed to lie too long
after moving before it is cooked. It
should never be allowed to lie in the
swath over night, after becoming partially
dry, if it be possible to prevent; and es-
pecially should it not take rain when in
this condition. Better rake into tumbles,
even If it have to be spread somewhatagain
before carting to the barn or the stack
Very often, simply upsetting the heaps will
air it sufficiently. Indeed, when it is
allowed to stand some days, it will cure
perfectly in heaps; and, if it undergoes a
slight heat in the meantime, it is not
worse, but better for it.
As rule, hay cut before eleven o'clock
in the morning, during hot, dry weather,
will, in the West, cure sufficiently for rak-
ing by two or three O'Clock p. M. and all
the hayscut in the morning may usually
be raked in the afternoon.
Hay cut after three p. m. will not dry
sufficiently to injure from the dew; and
hay may take rain for twenty-four hours
without much injury if it be not wilted
before the rain falls Therefore, if the
season be catching one, be not afraid to
cut hay down in cloudy, misty or rainy
weather, especially if you have tedder to
stir it with thereafter.
In ordinary seasons, in the West, when
large fields ofhay are to be cut, it is usual
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1875-07-30

to keep the mower going from morning 10
night, raking as closely as 1t VIII do IN
the afternoon; and starting the rake again
about eleven o'clock a. M, II the day be
hot In this way very good hay may be
made-and very cheaply toby raklng
into windrows; then, by passing the rake
along the windows, it is quickly thrown
into tumbles, which very little labor
will cause to shed rain fairly. In line
weather no turning is necessary, since the
hay is carried to the stack usually within
the next twentyfour hours, whence it
is quickly transferred with the horse-hay-
fork.
The present season has been untoWard
so far for hay-making. Ii the weather
continue bad-and there is suong prop
ability that it may do so-a careful study
of the weather and the means at hand Will
alone enable the provident farmer 10 get
his hay together in good condition. The
best advice we can give IN this instance,
and the plan which we have followed sat
isfactorily, is to cut the grass III bad
weather, and cure it and house 1t as last
as possible when the weather is drying. :.
One thing in this connection IS well
worth remembering: If hay is rather
green from its own sap, and is put into
moderate-sized heaps, it will cure and
come out in good condition with little
airing before stacking, even though it may
show considerable heat; but If wet from
dew or rain it becomes musty and bad.
Perhaps some of our readers will say:
Well, we knew that before. If so, for such
this is not written.-Fdqpa and Garden. Cha-

Clean Culture.

Every farmer knows the importance of
clean cultivation where the growth of
weeds interferes directly with the yield of
crops; yet many farmers, who as a rule
secure good crops at considerable expense,
allow weeds of all kinds to trespass upon
ground used, as turning rows, fence cor
ners, ETC., which scatter their seeds in
every direction, requiring the farmer each
year to expend additional labor above
what otherwise would be required to hold
his own with them.
AS the land grows older the danger Of
this increases, unless great care is exer-
cised in keeping up the fertility of the
soil and in destroying weeds in whatever
quarter they may present themselves.
Along hedges large enough to be beyond
the need of cultivation, and other fences
too, a strip wide enough for a turning row
should be devoted to grass. In this way
the dirt in blowing may be thrown from
the fence as often as in the opposite di-
rection without difficulty, and not only
adds wonderfully to the convenience but
to the artistic appearance of the fields.
All these unsightly patches so often seen
about farm, doing so much damage, and
bringing nothing in return, may be occu-
pied in some way to advantage without
much labor. A grove may be planted, a
few shrubs and flowers, or some of the
small fruits may be cultivated to advan-
tage. If time will not admit of these
things scatter upon the surface plenty
of grass seed and it will take care Of it.
self.
Some weeds are so prolific in their seed
bearing capacity that the ground becomes
full of the little germs which remain hid
den in the earth for years, to spring up
and choke the growing crops whenever
the conditions are favorable. To prevent
this, farmers should not even allow such
to grow along the roadside.
EARLY and thorough cultivation of the
corn crop, thick seeding of small grain,
early fall blowing before the weed seeds
mature, are all valuable aids to clean cul-
tivation.-W Western Burial.
