GLASS INVENTION. N.-M. de Ia
Bastie having made glass elastic
and malleable by plunging it when
heated into an oil bath, two Silesian
experiments have turned their in
genuity to the opposite extreme,
and have recently discovered a
method of making glass so hard and
unyiclding that it can neither be
bent nor broken, and may be plung-
ed redhOt into cold water without
injury. Indestructible lamp Chin
neys and window panes that defy
snowballs are among the least of
the advantages expected from this
invention.

REST BEFORE AND AFTER MEALS.

REST BEFORE AND AFTER MEALS.
Rest after meals has always been
regarded as essential to the proper
digestion of food, but it is not so
generally understood that a cessa-
ton from labor is as imperatively
required before the taking of a meal
as after, to secure healthy action
of the digestive organs. The great
number of dyspeptics in the United
States owe their impaired constitu-
tions to the violations of these rules.
1t is not alone to the physical labor
er that the above remarks apply.
The brain worker is as liable to be
affected as the one who exerts his
muscles, therefore it would be as
wise for such to take rest as the
day laborer. The above is a brief
resume of an article in a medical
journal, and the implied advice
strikes us a being particularly good.

A FABLE. -Ariosto tells a story
of fairy who, by some mysterious
law of her nature, was condemned
TO appear at certain seasons in the
form of foul and poisonous snake.
Those who injured her during the
period of her disguise were-ever ex-
cluded from participation in the
blessings she bestowed; but to those
who, in spite of her loathsome as
Pect, pitied and protected her, she
afterward revealed herself in the
beautiful and celestial form which
was natural to her, accompanied
steps, granted al their wishes, filed
their houses with wealth, made them
happy in love, and victorious in
war. A useful moral might be
drawn from this little fable, in favor
Of showing kindness and civility to
the most degraded and unhappy.

A writer in Scribner's says Nine.
Bonaparte is still living in Balti-
more, at the age of ninety years.
She says she has no intention of dy-
ing until she is a hundred. She has
been to Europe sixteen times, and
contemplates another trip this sum-
mer. This old lady has more vivac-
ity and certainly more intelligence
than many of the leading women of
fashion of the present day. Mr..
Patterson, her father, died in 1886,
at an advanced age, in possession of
q large fortune. In his will, which
is one of the most remarkable docu-
ments that has ever been deposited
in the Orphans Courto of Baltimore,
he says: "The conduct of my
daughter Betsy has, through life,
been so disobedient, that in no in
stance has she ever consulted my
opinion or feelings; indeed, she has
caused me more anxiety and troub-
lie than all my other children put
together. Her folly and miscon-
duct have occasioned me train of
experience that, from first to last,
has cost me much money"-in this
he means the marriage of his daugh-
ter to Jerome Bonaparte. The old
gentleman left her, out of his great
wealth, only three or four small
houses and the wines in his cellar
worth in all about ten thousand dol
lars. Nine. Bonaparte is very rich.
She has made her money by sue
cessful speculations and by her life
long habit of saving. For years
she has lived at clearinghouse in
Baltimore, seeing very little com
pany. Her costume is ancient, and
there is nothing about her appear
ance that suggests the marvellous
beauty that led captive the heart of
Jerome Bonaparte. Her eyes alone
retain some of the brightness of
former days. For forty years Nine.
Bonaparte kept diary, in which
she recorded her views and obsei va
tions of European and American
society. Some Of her remarks are
severely sarcastic. A well known
Boston publishing house, it is said,
recently offered ten thousand dollars
for the manuscript volumes, but
Madame refused to sell them at any
price, and has committed them to
the custody of her younger grand
son, Charles Joseph, recently law
student of Harvard, now rising
member of the Baltimore bar. They
will probably be published after the
writer's death.

MISCELLANY Y.
General raylOr's Grave.

Vice President Wilson, in COM
pany with General James A. Ekin,
of the Quartermaster's Department,
visited the grave of General Zachary
TAYLOR, about five miles distant from
Louisville, last Tuesday. The old
"Tavlor Farm" was subdivided
some time ago and sold, the family
burying-ground, however, being re-
served. This is about one acre and
a quarter Of a mile from the old
family manison; it is inclosed by
substantial limestone wall. In the
southwestern corner Of the lot is the
family vault, the massive stones OF
which are rapidly crumbling and
falling away. Even the marble
slab on Gen. Taylor's tomb is only
kept in place by a fence rail which
some friendly hand has proped
against it. The grounds are over
grown with ivy and weeds, 50 tang
led and matted together that is diff
ficut to walk through them. Many
of the trees seem blighted and life
less, and the entire inclosure looks
extremely desolate and uninviting.
Standing beside Gen. Taylor's grave
with uncovered head, the Vice
Presidents first exclamation was,
"How strange and sad that the bur-
ial place of one who shed so much
luster upon the military and civic
annals of his country should be thus
neglected and forgotten"

months, one very fine cow dying. For
the next three years it visited the flock
with more or less severity, regularly
coming about the first of November.
Replacing the afflicted cows by others
only aggravated the disease, they suf-
fered worse than those that passed a
year or more on the property. In cast
ing about for the origin of the trouble,
I noticed that COWS physicked from any
cause were more likely to abort; and [
also remembered that the introduction
of the disease among my COWS follow
ed very closely after they had access to
stack of wheat straw against which
fish brine had been thrown. This,
coupled with the fact that frosted grass
is liable to scour stock, confirms me in
the belief that laxative state Of the
bowels is very liable to bring on
abortion in herd predisposed to it.
Acting on the hint, | am very careful
about giving much salt at this season
of the year, or of anything else that will
cause looseness of the bowels. If my
theory is correct, remedies will doubt
less be devised to counterfeit the pur-
gative tendencies of food on stock.
From some cause or other l have nad
less trouble from the disease for the
last two years-last year having but
few, and this year none so far; while
my neighbors are having the usual run
of luck. Last year I came across a
cautious article, stating that at the sug-
gestion of friend he had used asafet-
ida in the fall and winter, about the
size of shellbark to each cow, once a
week in thin shavings mixed with meal.
Though notrecommending it as an abso-
lutte specific. he believed he had re-
ceived marked benefit from it's use.
Being very simple and plausible
remedy, tired it last fall and winter as
recommended, and, as stated, had but
few premature calves. One very good
COW which had never carried her cali
full time since / had had her (fou1
years. went over nine months with g
very fine calf. This year I am using
the same remedy, SO far with good re,
suits.

dents, stir up we'll and pour it on the
eggs, and keep them in cool place en-
tirely covered by the pickle. The lady
subscriber who furnishes the above
keeps her eggs perfectly sweet with the
above treatment, and by special request,
after writing the above recipe, she boil
ed me an egg that had been in pickle
four months, and found it perfectly
sweet and free from all shadow of faint
or any objection of any kind, and would
trust them fully as soon as the freshest
eggs in any of our markets. She usual
~ gets the highest price of fresh eggs,
and does not sell till they are about fifty
cents a dozen.

If corn costs 70 cents per bushel, the
pork will cost 6.33 cents per pound to
produce, and SO On.
By reversing the table you have, of
course, the value Of corn per bushel at
different prices per pound for pork
the corn to be used in feeding for the
production of pork; and to find what
the price of pork should be per pound,
taking the price of corn as the basis of
calculation, you divide the price of a
bushel of corn by 8. 40, the number of
pounds of pork produced by bushel
of corn, as we have seen, and the quo
tient will be the answer. IF, for ex-
ample, corn is seventy cents, divide it
by $40, and you have 833 cents. And
SO to find what the price of corn should
be when pork Is selling at certain
price per pound. you multiply the price
of a pound Of pork by $40 and the
product will be the answer. Suppose
pork is selling at ten cents a pound,
what should be the price of corn used
to feed out in It's production You
multiply the ten cents by $40, the av-
erage number of pounds of pork made
by a bushel of corn, and you have
eighty-fouf cents as the corresponding
price Of corn.

A Valuable Coal Mine.

From the San Francisco Chronicle, September 27.
An immense coal mine has been dis
covered in Uintah county, Wyoming,
near Carter Station, on the Union Paci-
fc. 1t was discovered by Mr., Croker,
of Logan, from information he received
from an old Indian, who showed him a
piece of fne-looking coal which
he found while hunting. He offered to
show Mr.. Croker the place if he would
give him $40, which offer was
readily accepted. The Indian
then took him about fifty
miles to spot about five miles from the
mine, which Mr.. Croker found by
tracing the vein the Indian pointed out
to him. The mine is in sandstone
mountain, about four and half miles
long, running north and south, facing
east, and about three miles and quar-
ter across, the mountain dipping sud
senly at each end. There are sixteen
veins of coal in sight. The bottom one
is the smallest, being five feet; the next
is the largest and most easy of access,
and is upward of seventy feet thick; the
next above is sixty feet; another of
forty feet; another of about thirty feet;
five of about twenty feet each, and five
of sixteen feet each. The last one is
twelve-aitogether about four hundred
feet of coal four and half miles long;
in fact, it may be correctly termed a
mountain of coal. The veins lie at an
angle of twenty-five degrees, with lodges
of white sandstone intervening. The
coal is very bright, is perfectly free from
slate or dirt, and is said to be canal
coal. A small quantity of the crop
pings from the seventy foot vein has
been tested for coke by an assayer, who
states that it yields coke 500 per cent.
When it is considered that very large
quantities Of coke are shipped from
Pennsylvania to Utah and Nevada, a
distance of 1000 miles, at cost of $35
or $40 per ton, for the purpose of
smelling silver ores, it will at once be
seen of what immense value this mine
is likely to prove to owners of low grade
silver mines. But whether the coal
will coke OF not, it is an excellent steam
coal. One engineer who has used it
says that one bushel of it will make as
much steam as three bushels of ordi-
nary coal, leaving less ashes than any
coal he ever burned. Prof. Pontez,
geologist to the Central Pacific Rail-
road, has made an investigation of the
mine, and reports it as the finest depos
it of coal in western America.

Dyjng Summer.

On tawny hills in faded splendor drest,
OF rusty purple and of furnished gold
Now like some Eastern monarch sad and DID,
The discrowned Summer lieth down to rest
A mournful mist hangs o. or the mellow plain.
Ger watery meads that slide down pine-clad
heights,
And wine-red woods where song no more de-
lights;
But only wounded birds cry out in pain.
A pallid glory fingers in the sky,
Faint scents Of wilding flowers float in the
air,
All natures voices naurmur in despair
WAS Summer crowned SO late--so soon to
die ?"
But, with royal smile, she whispers s. cease,
If life is JOY and triumph. death is peace"

Abortion inCows.


With November, says a correspond
ent, comes to many farms that most
annoying of troubles, abortion. When
or where it first became epidemic I am
not well read enough to know, but the
years are not very many since the dairy
region within limit of thirty or forty
miles of Philadelphia has been scourg-
ed with it. Previously, though it was
nothing uncommon for COW to drop a
premature calf, it was generally caused
by ill-treatment by man or by other
cattle, and never effected other mem
bers Of the herd. Now, that it has as
sumed the form of disease and become
epidemic, its prevalence is greatest
among the best selected and most nicely
cared for diaries. And though in time
1t Will probably run its course like all
etner diseases, and become well enough
understood to yield to a fixed treat
ment, just now 1t Is the most serious
drawback farmers have to contend with.
Ali scientific investigation SO far has
failed to point out a preventive. About
the only good effect has been TO exnlode
some blind theories-and almost every
one has his theory, your humble cor
respondent among the number. How
blind mine may prove, some inyestigs-
tor can probaeiv say; but as / started
to give it, [ VII do SC briefly.
Five Tears ago tnen recentiy-pur-
chased COW introduced the disease
among my flock SO thoroughly chat but
one cow escaped, and she was SO proof
against il that she has carried her calf
full time each year since: all the others
asorted within from two weeks to three
