USEFUL KNOWLEDGE,

CABBAGE WoRM.-After trying vari-
GUS remedies, we have found boiling
hot water from watering pot, the
simplest, easiest, and most efectual
mode of destroying the cabbage worm.
If applied quickly and not too long on
the leaves, it produces no injury. 1t is
easy repeated as occasion requires.
FAMILY GIUE.-We make our glue
in the following way; Crack up the
glue and put it in bottle; add to it
common whisky shake up, cork tight,
and in three or four days it can be used.
1t requires no beating, will keep for
almost any time, and is at all times
ready to use except in the coolest
of weather, when it will require warm
ing. 1t must be kept tight, SO that the
whisky will not evaporate. The usual
oorks or shoppers should not be used.
It will become clogged. A tin stopper,
covering the bottle but fitting as closely
as possible, must be used.
The United States of America pro-
duce annually about 275, 900, 900 bushels
of wheat, or about g. bushels per cap

over $50, BOO bushels, or about 81
bushels per capita; and have about A.
100000 surplus left for sale, The
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland produces annually about 95,-
600, 900 bushels of wheat, and consumes
100, 900, coo bushels, or about 81 bush,

felt to purchase, amounting to as much,
of wheat, as all it produces, or $4,000.

Young Man. Stick 70 II.

There is deal of regret expressed in
speeches, letters to agricultural papers,
and in editorials by kind-hearted, we'll
iatentioned editors, that the boys are
leaving the farms. No doubt many
young men have reauzed the fact that
farm life is no harder than city life.
Many have been wise enough to return
TO the farm after testing the realities of
life In q city. But the boys who leave
the farm for the city or village fellow
the examples Of older men. tn num-
Der of well-to-do farmers who have re-
allied beautiful homes, reached middle
age and have sold their farms, bought
village or city lots and settled on them
with view of talking things easier, I"
is not a small one. These men do so
with the same or similar motives with
which young men leave the farms, and
they are as often disappointed in the
results.
We know farmers, both young and
old, who have abandoned profitable and
beautiful farm homesteads, removed to
the village, invested their capital in
trade, got pretty thoroughly "cleaned
OUT in a business in which they had no
practical experience, and have bought
back their homesteads at an advanced
price, running in debt to get possession
of them, and working hard and con
tentedly to pay again for what they
once possessed. Some of these men
have said to us within the last two
months, g. farmer is a fool who sells
his farm thinking to have an easier and
happier time in a village or city," The
effect Of such reaction in the case of
these examples upon those who stick to
the farm is exceedingly wholesome. It
renders them content. They have not
wasted their substance in "putting up
stakes" and removing from " the old
landmarks" They have been steadily
accommodating as farmers and gathering
about their homesteads all the modern
appliances for the conservation of com
fort and content. The farmer who
"sticks to it" is sure to win what city
made money readily purchases-inde-
pendence, happiness, and q sense Of Sc
curity which is the result of welI-doing.

A BRAYADO'S DEATH.
The Speech of a Mon on the ScanOld /
Nevada

The speech of n Mon on the ScafTOld in
Nevada.
An astonishing display of bravado on
the scafold was made at Carson, Neva-
da, by John Murphy, on the ooh ult.
To warm his feet before he left his cell
he danced a lively jig On the iron floor,
and said : "Don't forget, am not a
Tom Paine man; I believe in God and
spiritualism. Arriving at the scaffold,
Murphy mounted the stand, and seating
himself with his legs crossed, waited
calmly. The sheriff read the lengthy
death warrant, the condemned man
smiling the while, and at the utterancs
of the words, "Dead, dead, dead ~
gave hollow laugh. During the read
ing of the warrant Murphy walked
across the scaffold for drink of water,
and, the officer pausing, he said: eco
on, sheriff, hear you" Murphy had
asked for an hour to speak, and by his
preparations it was evident that he in
tended to occupy all the time allotted
to him. He proceeded to say that he
had killed his adversary in self-defense,
and accused one of his lawyers of fatal
incompetency. He then entered on a
long protest against capital punishment.
After reading extracts from the works
OF Judge Edmunds, he asked fol a chew
of tobacco, and repeated a poem of
great length in the Scotch dialect, said
to have been dictated by the spirit of
Robert Burns TO Lizzie Dolan, sni1it-
ualistic lecturer. Murphy walked IN
easily to and fro upon the scaffoId dur
ing the delivery OF the speech, and
pointing to the motley crowd of men,
women, hoodIums, Indians and China
men congregated on the hillside to wit
ness the execution, said. "Well, they
have come to see me off" Kaeeling, ne
read a prayer from his book, and rising,
said to the sheriff, 81 am ready"
He stood up under the fatal moose,
and held up his clenched fists as if in
defiance. The sheriff approached and
pinioned his arms. During the opera
ton Murphy remarked: I'D like to
give those judges little rub, by -. "
Seeing a friend in the crowd, he
sang out, "Hello, Sweeny!' and then
his eye caught that of a reporter, and
he said, "You are a reporter?" eyes,
Murphy" answered the reporter.
"Well, just tell them that you've seen
me III tight place" The sheriff was
then adjusting the fatal moose. Those
were his last words.

VIII Risky Ere, Ze?

t was lately stated as an example Of
intense Geld that in Montana, On the
night of The 18Th instant, the mercury
in the Thermometers all froze small
quantities Of mercUly in Walls became
CONCEALED, and proof whisky placed out
Of doors froze solid in half an hour.
This last item is the only one which
has elected an expression Of incred-
ulity. The proof whisky that fr0ze
ia half an hour is regarded by a con-
temporary as beyond belief. The frecz
ing of the mercury happens at thirty or
forty degrees below zero, but absolute
alCohOl, it is declared, has never been
frozen, though Prof. Farraday found it
looked little turbid when subjected to
a temperature (a,tifcial) Of 1G6 degrees
eelow zero. High wines contain Is
per cent Of alcohol. Proof spirits Of
government standard are placed at 30
per cent. alcohol, and as the Newark
q. j. Advertiser remarks, the alcohol
this Montana whisky contained would
have separated from the water in the
progress Of freezing ike the "core" in
a frozen barrel Of cider. II it actually
troze solid il was harmless variety Of
whisky. In the everest cold of the
Arctic explorations proof spirit never
iroze, though there was a burlesque
about the men in Parry's expeditions
csoppiug the brandy out of the cask
with an Ak. The probable explanation
of the Montana phenomenon is that the
spirits were set aside in an open vessel,
when the whisky evaporated rapidly
and left tho Component water frozen.

The Brain.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, writing in
the Atlantic, upon the brain, says:
ono sound working brain, without
enough good blood to build it, repair
il, and furnish the materials for those
molecular charges which are the condi-
tons essential to all nervous actions,
Intellectual and volitional, az vol as
those OF lower grade. No good blood
without a proper amount of proper food
and air to furnish materials, and healthy
organs to reduce q sufficient quantity of
these materials to a state fit to enter The
circulation. No healthy organs, strictly
speaking, except from healthy parents,
and developed and maintain 4 by
proper stimuli, nourishment, and use.
No healthy parents-no help for it. We
are, OF course, applying the term
healthy to the brain, as signifying much
moro than freedom from disease. 4
healthy brain should show, by the out
ward signs Of clear, easily working in
telligence, we'll balanced faculties, and
commanding will, that its several
organs, if such there be, or its several
modes Of action, if it works as a whole,
are properly developed and adjusted by
and in relation 10 each other.
eff we could only bespeak a brain
for one of the freshman class Of 1890
as we lay out for an unborn colt to run
for a cap in two or three years But we
have to take the brains as they come,
and the range Of difference is SO enor-
nous, that one is tempted TO say there
is no such thing in the abstract as
good education. Have we not seen
young men who had been for three
years rained on with professional teach
ing3 of all kinds. upon whom the
OF science had been dropping
long enough to wear hollows in
stone, and who have come ont of IL e
showers of instruction with intellects as
dry Of knowledge asif Mr.. Macintosh
had furnished each Of their brains with
7n impermeable d,ua mater ?"

For Love Of an Empress.


Lucy 81. Hooper writes to the Phila-
delphia Press from Paris 81 have
heard lately the following melancholy
and romantic little story relative to q
royal lady whose personal charms and
sweet and graceful manners have rem
dered her as unconsciously dangerous
to her masculine adherents IS ever
Mary Stuart was of yore. It appears
that during the latter years OF the en-
pire the attention of the empress, who
ever has been distinguished IS an intel
Iigent and munifcent patroness of art,
was called to the works Of q rising
young painter-a Spaniard or an Italian
by birth-who had just completed his
studies and had achieved admission TO
the salon. She was pleased with his
pictures, purchased several of them,
and gave him q commission for two or
three others. Finally, at his earnest
solicitation, she consented to sit to him
for her portrait, which proved to be
striking likeness and q most admirable
work of art. From that time forward
the young painter haunted assiduously
every public place where he ccUld ob
tain a glimpse OF his fair and royal
patroness. When she went to the
theatre or opera he invariably occupied
an orchestra stall in front of the impe-
rial box, and when she drove out he
sought to cross her path in order to OBJ
tain from her one of those graceful
bows and one of those sweet, melan-
choly smiles which she alway s bestowed
with such courtesy upon those who
saluted her. At last came the war and
Sedan and the republic, and park and
theatre and Opera-box knew that fair
face no more. Deprived Of even those
passing glimpses of the imperial lady,
the young artist becams morose,
gloomy, and misanthropical Lo shut
himself up IN the solitude OF bis
studio, and employed himself chiefly
in reproducing his portrait Of the en-
press-a work which met with ready
sale among the friends of Imperialism
in Paris from its intrinsic merit no Jess
than the fidelity of its likeness, The
other day he was found lying dead in
his studio, with pistol shot through
the head, and with the discharged PTS
toI still clutcded in his Iifeless hand"

Mr.. Jehan Walter, a French journal
ist, relates, a21rop08 Of the robbery CT
the Dudley diamonds, several anecdotes
abort Jewel robberies. He tells how q
Spectator presented a report to the
directory making out that the celebrated
church Of Lorette contained Gl0 600 900
worth in diamonds, etc. Barras and
Carnot informed Bonaparte Of the fact,
but the J Dung general refused to march
on the place because he would have to
expose o corps Of ten thousand. and
would probably find nothing when be
got there. In time he did manage to
seize on the church, and found that all
the diamonds had been replaced by
GLASS. III. Walter also tells how the
mother of the late French emperor,
the Queen Hortense, when she was leav-
allies, was stopped on the high road by
the Marquis dc Maubreuil, who searched
her carriage and took away $4,000
worth of diamonds, which have never
since been heard of. This story is all
the moro remarkable as there was
great fuss made about this Marquis de
Maubreul toward the close of the
second empire. He had lawsuit with
his wife, and as an cutlery was raised
against the marquis continuing a mem
Der Of the legion of honor. It then
came out that be was one Of the royal
lists who had aided the Prussians to pull
down the statue of Napoleon from the
top OF the column of Vendome, and
that while engaged in this act he had
tied en- order of the legion of honor to
the tail Of his horse, and dragged it in
the mud. Yet toward the end of the
reign Of the Third Napoleon he wore
the red ribbon and was in receipt Of q
government pension.

threes, select the time when the police
officer has just passed on his weary
round, TO commence operations. If you
have a watchdog, il is dragged +; if you
have a corrupt servant, he has been,
perhaps, briEed. A mold has been taken
of your house key ; panel is removed
or perhaps entrance is effected through
he windows opening on your veranda.
The burglar, who has pulled on thick
stockings over his boots, moves rapidly
and without oise. Plate and money
are his two great desires, but he will
take almost any thing rather than go
EN- }ty-l anded. So cleverly managed
is the whole affair, that the police off,
Ger may pass by g door out of which a
panol has been replaced with a sheet of
painted or grained paper provided for
that purpose. Outside a comrade is on
guard, and the burglars are careful not
to leave the house until the signal that
the coast is clear. Immediately on
reaching their quarters the thieves
change their clothes the next thing 10
do is to get rid Of the plumber, than
which nothing is easier if it be plate.
Jewels are also readily disposed of, but
not so probably for the robbers.
With all that has been said, there is
but little danger where proper pre-
cautions are taken. It is a curious fact
that these men who inform themselves
50 carefully as 10 what and where they
can steal, venture little willingly, and
they are careful to learn whether your
bars alone protect your house property.
Keep a good dog inside your house and
a revolver at your hand, and you'll have
but little trouble from burglars and if
they do come, never bring down a light
when you go to see what is the matter.

Weather Signs.

A French naturalist has recently
grouped, for public convenience, num-
Der Of his observations upon animals,
showing that many members of the
brute creation may DO useful as living
barOmeters. Rain or wind, he says,
may be expected when the spiders
shorten tho last thread by which their
webs arc suspended; fair weather when
they Icngtheu them; and the duration
of either by the degree of contraction
