Taking advantage of the ice formed during
the recent cold spell, number Of persons were
busily engaged on Friday and Saturday of last
week in filling their ice-houses, 1t isn't safe to
put of ice-gathering at this late season. There
may and probably will be cold weather during
March, but whether there will be enough to
form ice Of sufficient thickness for cutting is Il
matter of pure conjecture.

A DelusiOn Exposed by the Micro
scope.

LET us instance noble service rem
dered our common humanity by the mi
croscope
How often, like some spectacular scenes
in a drama, do We find in the pages of the
Old-World history passages of deep pa
thos and fierce passion, and both, alas
occurring as the offspring of religious SUI
perstition. So there were miraculous ap-
partitions of blood, one while in rain from
the heavens, and again in spots in the
dwellings of God and of men OF course
these were portents of most dire signif-
canoe. The recital Is too long, for even
in Christian chronicles it covers thousand
years. In 1862, shocking to tell, while
ministering at the altar of his church at
Bolsena, a Bohemian priest was seized
with the terrible temptation to doubt the
transubstant;ation of the wafer which he
had Just consecrated. Horritied at his
own guilt, the celebrant of the mass be-
held drops of blood oozing from the sane
tilted Host. All were awe-stricken at the
miracle, and the Church instituted in
commemoration the feast OF Corpus
Christi. Such was the pious legend.
In the fourteenth century, when He'll
rich Won Bulow had destroyed the village
and church of Wilnach, as if to show
that Heaven was panied at the sacrilege,
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1876-05-24

eight DAYS afterward the Host on the altar
was observed to be stained with drops of
blood!
Near the close of that fourteenth century
appeared Raphael, wonderful man,
with genius sublime, with passions
groveling, and withal Righteousness that
made him feel and pass for devout In
the now celebrated stanze of Raphael in
the Vatican is that miracle of this paint
er's genius, :" Miracolo di Bolsena.'' Its
exhibition at each feast of Corpus Christi
intensified the churchs conception OF the
so called miracle which confirmed the
faith of the Bohemian priest. Unhappily
the bloody portent returned the Host was
again spotted with gore. The zeal of the
ecclesiastics became insane, for, horrible
to relate, thirty eight innocent Jews were
burned at the stake. For what? For
crucilying the Lord afresh, for torturing
the Host until it bled!
In 1924 the "blue Moeles'' was horri-
fed with rain of supernatural blood !;
and again in 1S4S this unnatural gore fell
from Heaven. And now Ehrenberg takes
the matter in hand for sober investigation,
and the microscope alone is to determine
the superstitions of men. This great man
dissipated the miracle entirely by eXcit-
ing wonder in another direction, for he
announced that these bloody rain-drops
were composed of real living organisms,
but so minute was each individual that it
would take over forty billions OF them to
make one cubic inch.
Thus the microscope has done away
with these grim portents of thousand
years. This red snow and bloody slime
have now their dis motive place and name
among organic things. They are micro
scopic vegetables plants. In
the Arctic regions Capt. Ross found this
crimsoned snow extending in masses of
miles. He brought some home, and the
able botanist, r. Brown. pronounced it
| Algarum genus 1t is curious to notice
the controversy of so many able botanists,
with their diverse judgments. But after
a while all came back to the judgment of
| Brown; and Agardh, the able German
| algologist, gave this, the lowliest of the
alge, the name Proctoc0ccus nj0atts.
But about the drops of blood! This
also the microscope has determined to be
an alga, and bears the name given it 10y
| Agardh, Pdln,elM cruente. Its structure
is even simpler than that of an odium.
| The name, though not romantic, is sig
nificant. Pamela means vibration or
quivering, and is here suggestive of that
| tremulous movement of which great
clot of coagulated blood is capable. The
| entire word indicates the significance GOT
quivering gore" In England the popu-
lar name of this fungous slime is CORY
deao." 1t occurs as shining red films or
thickish blood-red stains on damp walls
of cellars. Being unicelluiar plant,
when the cells are mature there is flow
ing together into viscous masses, which
look and feel unpleasantly like clotted
blood. Presenting also this aspect of
| gore, though not so decidedly, is the
Hamatococcus sdnguineas of Agardh.
| Though moist to the touch, this has not
tine gelatinous character of pamela
hence the bloody illusion is not so vivid

Marsh Muck.

THERE is not on the farm more valu-
able fertilizer than marsh muck, if dug
at the right time and prepared in proper
manner. During several years expert
ence at farming in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, we proved these facts thoroughly.
We had several acres OF low, wet marsh,
composed of two to six feet depth Of rich
black muck, or peat, which required
draining to put it in condition for cult
walton and meadow; but after it was fair
double the quantity that any other land
did. But the most important fact that we
discovered in ditching and retaining
this marsh land was in regard to the util-
lily and value of the muck for manure.
Our ditching happened to be commenced
in the spring and early summer; the
muck was cut and thrown out in square
chunks with sharp spade, and formed
into ridge or bank by the side OF the
ditch, while some of it was hauled to the
field, where it lay and dried in the sun,
so that afterward it was difficult to pull
verize and put into shape for use of the
plants, remaining in hard dry Jumps or
spongy clods over the field where spread,
and very slowly dissolved into condition
for plants to absorb it, But in the fall
and early winter we did much more OF
the same kind of ditching, throwing up
the muck in ridges and piles, leaving it to
be acted on by the frosts-freezing and
thawing-apd dissolving by rains and
SHOWS. The result was that in the spring
and summer this muck Stacked and mel
lowed down almost like ashes, being fine
and friable as good garden earth-unlike
that which was dug in the spring and
thrown up to the hot sun to bake and
harden; showing that it needs to be acted
on by the frosts before drying in the sun
to afford its best benefits. We found it
valuable, and to work like charm on all
crops-so profitable that it about paid for
our bitches. 1t was used in various ways
with beneficial results; spread as mulch
on meadows and around currant and
blackberry bushes, and strawberry vines,
and in the garden for cabbages, corn,
melons and root crops; and particularly
along the side of these bitches we raised
the most rich and splendid cauliflowers.
Save all your marsh muck.-Ndyldad

FervOr of the Widow Van Colt.

Descriptive powers were never so much
at loss as they are in attempting to de-
scribe the magnetic oratory of the new re-
viyal preacher, the Widow Van Colt, who
has just closed a week of interest in
Brooklyn. She is marvellous woman
and in her way is quite as effective as
Moody in his happiest vein. But she is a
woman, and you know some of our good
Presbyterians and Congregationalists are
opposed to women preachers, and not
long ago the Brooklyn Presbytery re-
buked the Rev. Theodore Cuyler for al
lowing woman to preach from his pull
pit, because they esteemed it unscriptural
Without discussing that point, it is doubt
less for this reason that the Widow Van
more generally by the pastors of great
cities, even as Moody and Sankey,
Whittle and Bliss, and other peripatetic
evangelists are in their labsrs. But Mrs.
Van Colt is highly esteemed by the Metho-
dists and under their auspices is doing a
mighty work. Her style is intensely
dramatic, and in some respects she resem-
bles John B. Cough Last Sunday even
ing she reused her audience to the very
highest pitch of excitement by her vivid
descriptions. For closing scene she
brought out the story of Goliath and
David in wonderfully effective man
ner, as showing the power of faith
illustrated by David, and she pictured the
terror of the Israelites when Goliath came
forward, the confidence OF David, his
search for smooth stone for his sling as
he went forward to meet the giant. Mrs.
Van Colt whirled her arm round and
round as if in the act of whirling the
stone, all the time talking rapidly and
fervently, in remarkably vivid way.
Davids triumph in seyering Goliath's
head with his own sword was described so
lifelike that it was said that most of the
audience expected to see the head itself
roll from the platform. The climax was
received with great applause, and such a
chorus of shouts and amens' as only a
Methodist church may witness.-N. Y.

IT would be folly TO attempt the grow
ing of evergreens from seed in the open
ground, as we do most kinds Of deciduous
trees. The hot sun and drying winds OF
our climate make havoc with the young
seedlings when they first appear above
ground, and even with all the care be-
slowed and artificial appliances employed
by our nurserymen, serious losses fire.
quently occur at this period in the life OF
seeding evergreens. Knowing the SEN
sitiveness of these plants to the influence
of the hot, dry winds aud scorching rays
of ,le sun, beds for the reception Of the
seed should be prepared in such manner
that full protection may be given during
the period named. Frames made of boards
foot wide will answer every purpose,
and placed upon the surface OF the ground
after the beds have been prepared. -Four
feet wide and twelve long, is convenient
size for the frames To cover these,
screens may be made of common Hath, say
three feet by four, which is handy size,
and not so liable to be broken, as larger.
In making these screens, the lath may be
placed as far apart as they are
wide, say an inch and half;
this will permit enough of light
TO reach the plants to ensure a
healthy growth, and at the same time
furnish shade enough to prevent burn
ing. Of course other materials may be
employed for shading, such as screens OF
cloth, boughs of evergreens, or even max
ing the beds ON the north side of a fence,
building or under large trees but the lath
screens are cheap and most convenient,
besides more or less useful to have about
Tor puttl1A over hot beds to keep out the
chickens, if there are any around. 1t is
We'll to make up the frames and screens
during the winter months, in order 10
nave them ready when required for use in
early spring.
\ light porous soil is necessary wheth-
Ct It be sand, loan or peat, and it should
also be deep and moderatelyrich although
rank, fresh manure viii not answer for
his purpose. Soil that becomes com
pact ana hard on the surface when dry
would prevent the young seedlings from
coming up, consequently should not be
4sel Tor this purpose. Where a loose,
Iidhie soil cannot be obtained in suiii.
Gent abundance to be used exclusively
l'r the entire depth of the beds, a small
ef quantity will answer by spreading il
over the surface to the depth of two OF
Three inches.
A. soon as the ground is sufficiently
warm and dry to work readily in spring,
'Ae seed may be sown in drills six inches
