A MEASURING PA1L.-A very
handy thing is a pail so graduated
and marked that one can tell at a
glance how many quarts Of fruit or
milk are in it. A six-quart pail can
be measured carefully, and then
marked with little ridge running
round the pail-made by running a
groove on the inside of the tin, like
the ridges that are put on to stove
pipe. Any good tinsmith can make
one, and make it accurately enough
to serve as q measure for quarts.
Pals thus marked become almost in
dispensable.

DON'T KISS IT.

The promiscuous kissing of child
rem is a pestilent practice. We use
the work advisedly, and it is mild for
the occasion. Murderous would be
the proper word, did the kissers know
the mischief they do. Yes, madam,
murderous, and We are speaking to
you. Do you remember calling on
your dear friend, Mrs. Brown, the
other day, with a strip of flannel
round your neck ? And when little
Flora came dancing into the room,
didn't you pounce upon her demon
stratively. call her precious little
pet, and kiss her? Then you serene
ly proceeded to describe the dreadful
sore throat that kept you from pray
er meeting the night before. You
had no designs on the dear child's
life we know 5. nevertheless you killed
her! Killed her as surely as if you
had fed her with strychnine or arse
mic. Your caresses were fatal. Two
or three days after, the little pet be-
gan to complain of a sore throat, too.
The symptoms grew rapidly alarm
ing and when the doctor came. the
single word "diphtheria" suficed to
explain them all. To-day a little
mound in Greenwood is thesole memen-
to Of your visit. 1t would be absurd
to charge the spread of diphtheria en-
tirely to the practice of child-kissing.
The are other modes Of propagation,
though it is hard to conceive Of any
more directly suited to the spread Of
the infection or more general in its
operation. 1t stands to diphtheria in
about the same relation that promis-
cuous hand-shaking formerly did to
the itch. It were better TO avoid the
practice. The children will not suf-
fer if they 60 unkissed and their
friends ought for their sake to forego
the luxury for season. A single
kiss has been known to infect fami-
ly; and the most careful may be in a
condition to communicate the disease
without knowing it. Beware, then,
Of playing Judas, and let the babies
alone.-Scie,atifc american.

EVENING SOLACE.
BY CURIKR BELL.


The human heart has hidden treasures.
In secret kept, In silence sealed
The thoughts. the hopes, thedreams, the pleasure
Whose charms were broken, If revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights In noisy riot fly.
While lost in Fame's or Wealth's illusion,
The memory of the past may die.
But there are hours of lonely musing,
Such a in evenings silecne come
When soft as birds their pinions closing,
The hearts best feelings gather home.
Then in oursouls there seems to languish
tender grief that is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung grosns of anguish
Now cause but some mild tears to flow,
And feelings once as strong as passions,
Float softly back-a faded dream;
Our own sharp grisfi and Wild sensations,
The taste Of others sufferings seem;
Oh! When the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs it for that time to be,
When through the mist Of years receeding,
Its woes but live in reverie; 'lS~
And it can dwell on moonlight glimmer,
On evening shades and loneliness,
And vhile the sky grows dim and dimmer,
Feel no untold and strange distress
Only deeper impulse given
By lonely hour and darkened room,
TO solemn thoughts that soar to heaven,
Seeking the life and world to come.

Prof: De Barry, who has been study
ing the disease from a scientific point
OF view, refers its origin to fungus
(Feronospora i'.testars) which first at
tacks the leaves, and, after consuming
the nutriment afforded by them,
seizes upon the petiole, and so pro-
ceeds to the tubers. A further re-
port Of the Committee of Inquiry will
be published soon.

TIE POTATO DISEASE.

London has along with other investi-
cations, been prosecuting inquiries
into the cause and prevention Of the
potato disease. Three years ago,
Earl Cathcost offered a prize of &10O
for essays on the prevention of the
disease. His offer resulted in elicit
ing no fresh information, and failed
of direct benefit. But it stirred the
Society to active dealing with the
subject, and prizes were offered for
potatoes reputed to be proof against
disease. Two prizes were promised,
at the beginning of 1874, for potatoes
Of existing varieties; and two more
are to be awarded five years hence,
for varieties that may be originated
meantime. Six varieties competed for
the first prizes. To subject these to a
practical test, 100 pounds Of each
variety were sent to twelve stations in
England, four in Scotland, and four
in Ireland. During the summer, a
Botanical Inspector visited each sta,
ton, and found disease affecting the
potatoes in every instance. Thus far
no progress has been made in the dis.
covery Of means for preventing the
disease; but much valuable informa.
ton has been acquired from the sta.
tistics collected, that will bear upon
this most important point. Above
Ill, it has been ascertained what con-
fditions Of soil and moisture con6ne

WORKS OF THE EMOUND-BULDERs

About twenty years ago Elijah
Cheek, who during the late war
sought the Chief Magistracy of Ar
kansas at the hands Of President
Lincoln, was engaged in constructing
a plank road from Mound City, five
miles above Memphis, to Marion, the
capital of Crittenden county, ten miles
west of Memphis. In making exca-
vations and embankments;Mr. Cheek
discovered strangely shaped bricks,
of which specimens were sent to- the
writer Of this memoir. They were
made Of grayish clay, nine by twelve
inches in width and length, and four
inches thick. Mr.. Cheek supposed
from the number of ruins which he
found every few rods along the route
of this old military road that Span
iards, when they held the country,
built palaces everywhere, and grew
enormously rich by cultivating. the
lowlands. He finally accepted the
conclusion, after hearing cur rious
recitation of mound-builder's history
written by the late Cornelius Math,
ews, of New York, that: the old mill,
tary road was not the product of
modern but of ancient skill and toll.
He then saw how the ridge it II rav5
erses is artificial, how it is wider
where the richest mound builder
built his domicile, and how it is true
that these people lifted up in the low
lands not only countless mounds and
dug countless canals and aguadas, but
absolutely created, by uplifting the
earth that constituted them, broad
farms of hundreds and even theusan nds
of acres. We of modern times are
boastful Of the triumphs of engineer
ing skill that brid dges rivers, upheaves
levees, and builds railways. These
mound-builders achieved mightier
tasks, and constructed road-beds, that
stagger credulity, and dug canals in
initely more serviceable than rail
ways everywhere in the lowlands.
Floods ruinous to civilization and
wealth were rendered by them wholly
impossible. Canals are not only the
cheapest agencies of commerce. but
the area Of water service exposed; to

UNION AND AMERICAN.
HORSE BREEDING IN RUssIa.

There are seven crown studs in Russia
and one in Poland, containing altogether
1902 brood mares and horses, with twelve
crown stables having 945 stations. The
Chrjanov stud, purchased by the crown
thirty years ago from the heirs of Count
OrlOf, is divided into three sections, one
devoted to pure English horses, another to
saddle horses, and the third to trotsing
horses. Tie Derkuli stud breeds English
carriage horses, the new AlexandrOv, a kind
Of half blood saddle horse, the Simarevsk
thoroughbred Arabs, and the Strjeletzl
Oriental saddle horses. In the Orenburg
stud horses are bred for the light cavalry
and artillery. Russia further possesses
2,444 private studs, having GAG stations
and about 10000 brood mares, besides up
ward Of G9,0O0 stalliCns and 100000 brood
mares in the COpack and steppe "tabunes."
Horse breeding has decreased on private
estates since the emancipation Of the serfs.
and many Of the studs have been broken
up, and has passed in part into the hands of
the peasantTy. In Russia there are $50
horse fairs, at which about 10000 animals
are annually sold, out of about 2G3, 600
brought 10 market. The average price of
horse is 90 rOubles-abOut $50.
