WE ALWAYS felt a great deal Of con-
fidence in our power to read the mys-
teries of childhood, but We never can
comprehend why it is that bunch OF
little boys who find it difficult to spell
cat above a whisper in school, can yell
loud enough when playing marbles to
scare a country dog out of a years
growth. What makes it appear strange
to us is because we used to do it our
selves.-Dubuque Times.

A REMEDY FOR CHEAT AND CoCKLE.-
Some years ago my wheat was very
much " turned" to cheat and cookie.
As L had just as much faith in wheat
turning to one as the other, l resolved
10 SOW no more of the seed of either,
and took screen off an old fan, put a
rim around it, sat down by my heap Of
seed wheat, cookie and cheat or chess,
and sieved it so long as any cheat,
cookie or small grains of wheat would
go through. sowed only what would
not pass through. The result was,
scarcely stalk of anything but wheat
could be found in 45 acres the next
harvest, and what few stalks appeared
presume had been in the manure. ]
treated my seed the same way the next
fall. The following spring, i'm sowing
grass seed over 30 acres, L found but
one stalk of cookie; and in harvesting,
not a handful of cheat, and no cookie
was fOund-notwithstand the wheat
had been badly winter-killed. and one
field near the barn had been run on,
tramped and eaten by the lambs and
chickens very much.-Cor. Farmers

COLD ROAST BEEF WITH MASHED POTA-
ToEs.-Slice the beef very thin, and lay
il over the bottom of deep pudding
dish, scattering over it pepper, salt, a
sprinkle of flour, and, if the fiavoring
is liked. a little chopped onion. Fill
up the dish in this manner, and add to
it the cold gravy, with half a coffeecup-
full Of boiling water put with it. Cover
it with a plate or tin and bake it two
hours. Then mash some well boiled
potatoes with butter, milk and salt, and
make high wall around platter with
them, covering them over with beaten
egg; place the dish in tine oven to be-
come well Drowned, and turn in the
contents of the pudding dish when it is
handsomely colOred. This makes an
excellent side dish or lunch dish, and is
always highly relished. Boiled rice,
covered with egg and Drowned in the
oven, can be substituted for the pota-
toes, and can be served separately. A
pint of canned tomatoes will add to the
flavor of the dish; it can be put in with
the gravy. Mutton, lamb and veal can
be cooked in the same way.

Light as a MOfor.-From the multi
tudes that crowd the sidewalk of the
west side of the Union square, many
are attracted by a small machine in
constant motion, but without any Vi
sible motive power. In front of the
instrument, which is in front win
dow, is placard averring that perpet-
ual motion is attained by the radiOme-
ter, the invention of Professor VIII
liam CrOokes, f. X. S., of London.
The claim is an eXaggeratiOn, as the
radiOmeter moves only when struck by
rays of light, and is therefore no more
perpetual motion than is a windmill.
The instrument moves by the attrac-
tive and repulsive power of light, and
by means of a delicate scale can, ii is
said, be made to weigh light to the
one -millionth part of a grain. The ra-
diOmeter consists of four pith disks,
black on one side, and white on the
other, fastened at the end of four arms
that are connected with a metal or
Jewel point in the centre. This point
spins in glass cut at the top of rod,
which is fastened in an upright posi-
ton, in what the maker says is per-
feet vacuum. This vacuum is the in
terror of a glass vessel, shaped like an
inverted and very fat thermometrical
tube, the four disks revolving in the
bulb at the top. The light striking on
the white surface of the disks attracts
them, and striking on the black sides
repels them, so that the four disks re-
vOlve like the sails of a windmill. in
the strong sunlight they move with
such rapidity as to be undlstinguish-
able; in reflected light their motion is
much slower. The great expense at
tendant upon the manufacture of ra-
diometers is caused by the difficulty of
obtaining perfect vacuum. Mr.. Hicks
used three tons of mercury in making
seventeen radiometers. He exhibits
broken glass by the hundred weight to
show as the result of his many failures.

SCIENTIFIC.

Iro,y.-The apprehension that ivory
would become one of the products OF
the past, as we have often heard our
cutlery and billiard ball manufactu-
rers maintain, does not seem to be JUS
titled by the facts. According to the
following, from the British Mail,
Messrs. Lewis & Peat, colonial brokers,
have issued q very interesting report
of the modern ivory trade, which,
though showing great improvement
since 1872, is mere shadow of what it
must have been in the ancient times.
The total quantity imported into Great
Britain in 1875 was $50 tuns, the largest
in any year between that time and 1S42,
when it was only 297 tuns the lowest
being 1874. but 211 tuns. The fact of
there being an appreciable increase in
last years imports over 1874 of 20 tuns
is, says the report. "Of the greatest in
terest, because in this article especially,
much more than in any other known,
there is no reason to apprehend any
falling off in the demand. In one i'm
pOrtant article of manufacture-bIl-
lard balls-there is not any other sub
stance which can be used as an ade-
qnate substitute. The public sales are
held four times in the year. Prices
last year were, on the average, mnch
lower than the previous one, which is
attributed to the general commercial
stagnatiOn. The prices of good teeth,
weighing from so lbs. to 160 lbs, varied
from S275 to S335 per cwt. "scrivel-
loes,n S120 to S27O. Walrus teeth,
sound, weighing from II lbs. to 81 lbs,
were worth 60 to 62 cents per h.; de-
fective, 40 to Al cents. RhinOcerOs
horns, of which 81 tuns were imported
in 1874, realised from "a to 70 cents.
The probable value of the ivory i'm
ported last year could not be less than
S2,500, 700. A larger portion came
through Egypt than in the previous
year, and less from Zanzibar and Bonn
bay, from South America little more,
and from West Africa little less.

Hor to Make Children LOrely.--There
is Just one way, and that is to surround
them by day and by night with an at
mOsphere of love. Restraint and re-
proof may be mingled with the love,
but love must be constant element.
II found my little girl was growing
unamiable and plain said mother to
us the other day, land rejecting on it
sadly, could only accuse myself as the
cause thereof. SO l changed my man
agement and improved every CppOrtu-
nifty to praise and encourage her, to
assure her of my unbOunded affection
of her and my earnest desire that she
should grow up to lovely and harmOni-
ous wOmanhOOd. As rose opens to
the sunshine 80 the child heart opened
in the warmth of the constant affection
and caresses shOwered upon her. Her
peevishness passed away, her face
grew beautiful, and now one look
from me brings her TO my side obedi-
ent to my will. and happiest when she
is nearest me-" Is there not in this a
lesson for all parents. Not all the
plOwing or wedding or cultivation of
every sort we can give our crops Will
do for them what the steady shining of
the sun can effect. Love is the sunshine
of the family; without it not character,
or morality, or virtue can be brought
to perfection.

How TO CHOOSE PLow.-PlOws fire.
quently annoy those who use them in a
most mysterious manner. They refuse
TO run evenly in the ground and refuse
to keep to the land as they ought to do.
On examining them nothing seems to
be wrong.
Every properly shaped plow ought to
have a slight concavity along the base
of the land side, of one-eighth or three
sixteenth of an inch so that the imple-
ment will "suck" into the soil and run
steadily. This concavity may be shown
by holding a steel square to the bottom
of the plow. If this part is convex, as
it not unfrequently is, no matter how
high reputation the maker of the plow
has, it will not stay in the ground, and
will annoy the plowman till the evil is
remedied.
The Landslide of the base should also
be slightly concaye, to the same extent
of one-eighth of an inch or more, and
never ought to be convex or bulging,
under any circumstances.
If these apparently trifiing items are
properly attended to at the time of
selecting plow, much trouble may be
avoided which often seriously perplexes
the plowman, and causes him TO lose
much time which may thus be saved.
