started from one Of the old inns in the

Management of Lawns.

THOMAS MCCLUMI, landscape gardener
of Hartford, Conn, says of the manage
ment of lawns in America, that
1. The drier climate of America requires
deeper and richer soil than England, to
maintain a continued green through the
heat of the summer.
2. Terraces are properly objected to and
denounced, as being unnatural and dis
cordant with true taste.
3. Sewers, where necessary, and I'M
derdrains, are the first requirements when
lawn is intended.
4. The reasons for drainage are, access
to the air, and the admission Of the rains
to pass through it. so that it is treated
like dirty garment, and is washed, aired
and dried"
5. Deep tillage and manuring are the
foundation Of success with American
lawns-the soil to be uniform in texture
and quality, to prevent spots--and trench
ing, keeping the rich soil at the surface,
being essential.
6. Sow in freshly mellowed soil; and if
autumn, that the winter may kill them;
but if there has been much grading and
filling, SOW in spring after the settled sur
face has been smoothed. Steep nillsides
are recommended to be soWn in summer,
to prevent washing; but we suggest bet
ter way to secure the surface by the roots
Of thin crop of rye sown the previous
autumn, and then SOW the grass among
this crop in spring, cutting the rye away
as soon as the grass is well established.
z. Roll in spring old or new lawns, to
smooth the surface, and tiller the grass.
8. Avoid coarse or Iumpy manure, and
apply as surface dressing either finely
pulverized compost, or mixture Of guano
and superphosphate of lime.
9. Keep the grass cut short from the
first, to cause it to grow thick and form a
dense carpet.
10. Never adopt the absurd practice Of
allowing the grass to grow tall, to cut for
hay.
II. After many trials, the selection Of
grass Tor each acre is narrowed down to
kentucky blue grass, two bushels; red
top, one and a halt bushels; white clover,
two to four pounds, For dry and gravelly
ground, increase the white clever, and de-
pend less on the grasses. Sow the clover
and grass seed separately, as the latter is
lighter and canRot be thrown so far.

To ALL, particularly invali6s, spring is

The Small Capacity OF g Horses
Stomach.

A HORSE requires food in uauch more
concentrated form than neat cattle and
sheep. Hence, if the meal that is de-
signed 10 be fed to a horse at enc time, be
mingled with a bushel of cut straw, the
animal will not be able to manage so
much bulk in order to obtain the desired
nourishment. Some writer, who has ex-
amined critically the stomach of horse,
states that stomach of d hGrse of mo-
dunn size has a capacity Of only about
sixteen quarts, while that of the OK has
two hundred fifty; in the intestines this
proportion is reversed, the horse having
a capacity of one hundred and ninety
quarts, against one hundred of the OK.
The OK and most other animals have a
gall bladder for the retention Of part Of
the bile secreted in the intervals of digest
ion; the horse has none, ana the bile
flows directly, into the intestine as fast as
secreted. This construction Of She diges-
tive apparatus indicates that the horse
was formed to eat slowly and digest CON
tinually, bulky and innutritio4s food
When fed, on hay it passes very rapidly
through the stomach into the intestine
The horse can eat but about five pounds
of hay in an hour, which is charged dur
ing mastication with four times its weight
of saliva. Now the stomach, to digest
well, will contain but about ten quarts,
and when the animal eats one-third OF his
daily ration, or seven pounds, in one and
one-haf hours, he has swallowed at least
two stomachfuls of hay and saliva, one
of these having passed intostLe intestine.
Observation has shown that the food is
passed to the intestine by the stomach in
the order in which it is received. Ii we

he nnlshesi this. we feed him the above

alton OF force, as he yesterday escorted a
I zines laEan into a workshop IN the rear of
his residence. I" You cannot conceive, :"
he continued, ''the power Of this machine

perimenting. This register shell, for in

loosely, a smaller pipe, . cannot do

conducted the reporter to his ulodel-r0Om,
where a number of delicately- reconstructed
specimens Of 1iliputian motors and ma
chimes invited inspection. There are So
many points about the invention that it
would take me three or four days to describe
them, and your paper far more room than
It could spare in a year to publish them.

many marvels, steam, telegraphy, etc,

A Romance of a Conductors Life
Stealing Rides.

On Saturday last Conductor Ben Cele
discovered crouched under one Of the
seats in snaoking-car a boy and a girl.
" Mister, is this the road 70 Hayen ?''
said the boz, as he craWled out, and the
girl said, " Mister, please don't put us of,
our folks live there, and we amt got any
father or mother, and here's a letter." at
the same time driving from her FADED
calico apron crumpled piece of paper
and handing it to Mr.. Cole After look
ing at il a long time, for it was badly
written, badly spelled and blurred, he
made OEt this:
All good people: These children amt got
no father or mother. They died here in Feb
ruary, and Use been tending to 'era. They
amt got no folks here; and their folks live in
Haven, Conn. Use a poor niger woman,
and can't keep 'em no longer. Use got N.Y.
self to support, and theyse a going back to
their folks. They. is good children, and
don't do EN- no harm JANE NAUPIN.
Mr.. Cole sat down by the side Of the
boy, who was about thirteen years of age,
and bright. He learned that in the
spring John Howell, with his wife and
two children, left New Haven, Conn, for
the West, and arrived at Pueblo, but that
there both died, and during their sickness
the old negro, Jane Maupin, was the only
attendant at their bedside, and when the
children were thrown out upon the world,
orphans, friendless and penniless, she
cared for them as she would for her own
children. But having learned from the
father that they were from New Haven,
and that they had an uncle there bv the
name of Martin Howell, she conceived
the idea that they ought to go back, and
she thought that the letter she wrote and
gave them would be a passport to ali the
world They started three weeks ago,
taking the 4. T. IL S. F. train for Atchi-
son, and a conductor had put them of
near Pueblo.
But they had started for New Haven,
and they resolved they would 90. By
t" stealing rides now in freight car,
now under the seats in the smoking car,
and now in the caboose among the piles
Of trunks and packages, and begging
their food, they reached Topeka, fifty
miles from Atchison. They wandered
around Topeka all day, and at night they
hid themselves in fat car laden with
building stone. In the gray dawn they
reached this city, begged breakfast and
dinner, and at two O'Clock hid themselves
under the seat in the Missouri Pacific car,
where they were found by Mr.. Cole.
Mr.. Cole took the children to Kansas
City, the end Of his run" cared for
them there, telegraphed to Martin Howell
at New Haven, Conn, and received IN
answer to send the children in care of the
conductor to New Haven, and 10 draw
upon him for the expenses of the trip.
They are on their way.-Atchison (Kan.)

enous parts of the food, and as a stom-
ach full of oats contains four or five times
as much of these as the same amount of
hay, it is certain that either the stomach
must secrete the gastric juice five times as
fast, which is hardly possible, or it must
retain this food five times as long. By
feeding the oats first it can only be re-
tanned long enough for the proper diges-
ton Of hay, consequently it seems logi-
cal, when feeding a concentrated food like
oats with a bulky one like hay, to feed the
latter first-N. Y. Herald.

Turkey.

LONDON, January lS.-It appears that
partly from a sincere wish to end the insur-
rection and partly from anxiety to escape in:
terventon the Porte is making great Efforts
to achieve paciication uDaded in its re,
vol ed provinces. The new Turkish COM
mander, Mukhatar Pasha, and the new 60.
verpor, Ali Pasha, are to cooperate to that
end, the former by military disposition, and
the latter by political and diplomatic activity.
The severe checks the insurgents have
lately suffered, and the large relnforcemeuts
the Turks have lately received render
offensive operations by the insurgents very
improbable. Mukhata PaSha seems likewise
to have instructions not to operate against
the insurgents, but to begin by the occupa-
ton of important positions and de-
bouches of the Montenegrin frontier.
Thereby sort of Gordon will be
dra gn to prevent the Montenegrins from as.
sisting the insurgents, and the Turkish arms
will be turned against those attempting to
pass the frontier. In the event OF q truce
the insurgents will be asked to make state:
ment of their grievances, to be considered
by the Sultan. On proper representation he
is prepared to make concessions to Herzsgo'
yiua and the other dissffected provinces.
