The FLAVOR OF MUTToN.-The i'm
preston Is prevalent even among ex-
perienced sheep raisers, that the peeu
liar " sleepy" taste somlimes found
in mutton is due 10 the contact of the
wool with the meat. This is a mistake
which has occaSiOned much prejudice
against mutton as food. The true
cause of this taste or odor is TO be
fond in tie delay in diSembowling
the carcass. The inteStines should
be removed at the earliest possible
moment after life is extinct, aud be-
fore the removal of the peit. If the
lntestines are allowed 10 remain until
the pelt is taken off the gasses emit
ted from them will be disseminated
through the flesh and produce the OBJ
jectiOuable tastes and odor. If prop
er attention is paid TO butcheriug well
fa:;ed sheep, there will be nothing
either in odor or taste, to offend the
most tastidlous. Properly severed
lamb or mutton on the table furnishes
most wholesome, delicate, delicious
and nutritious food, which would
largely suppiant the gross hog meat
usually consumed by farmers.

CoTroy U>Es.-According to TIE
Boston Journal of Chemistry there is
now produced class Of goods made
entirely of cotton, but called merino,
and which have the look Of the latter

in the United States aid Spanish

especially in mems underShirIs and

surface raised by a particular opera

THE New FRENCH MINIsTER.-Sec>
ond only to Disraeli's surprising career
is the appointment of Dir. Wadding.
ton 10 the post of French Minister.
This gentleman, born in France of
English parents, was educated at
Rugby under the famous DR.. Arnold,
and afterwards ct Cambridge, where
he greatly distinguished himself. He
was not only the Second classic" OF
his year and the winner of the Chan
cellor's English prize poem, as Macau-
lay, Praed, and Bulwer were before
him, but also one Of the University
crew, which means one Of the best
oarsman OF his day. The late Mr.. a.
Waddington, the first to bring Butte
Inlet INTO notice as the western term
mus of The Canadian Pacific Railway,
was an uncle of the Dew Minister.
The political success of This English
man in France is the more remarka-
bic since he is a Protestant-a fact
which rem ders it necessary that the
religious branch of his department,
the Ministry Of Educalion, should be
deputed To other hands.

Ir takes long while to teach men
that they must return TO the good Old
way Of making money and their liv
inc. For some years nothing was so
popular as speculation If men had
only but ten dollars they could not for
bear to invest it in some OF the exag.
gerating speculative enterprises of the
day, and whether they lost or won,
the influence was the same. They
had tasted of the way, and they would
taste more, Judgment, prudence,
caution and honesty suffered fearfully
as 4 consequence, and it will require a
long education and severe training to
get the passion killed and the taste
turned the other way. When we are
ready TO come back to the belief that
money ought to be earned before it
was owned. and that the slow process
es of legitimate trade are surer and
safer than the haSty efforts of CONNER.

will there be real enterprise in bus

OK VExrILATIoY.-So much has

A New FoRM OF PRoPELLER.-Dr
Coils Browne, well known in Eng
land as the originator of the beak
proved ship, which presents some
great advantages, has lately lntrodu
ced a four bIaded screw propeller,
which is essentially peculiar. In ap-
pearance tie propeller is rather para
doxical, for it resembles two double
baded screws on one shaft, one screw
being the exact reverse OF the other.
Hence it might be argued that one
screw would neutralize the other, and
all the power applied TO effect tie
rotation of the propeller would be
thrown away. But closer attention
shows that the effect must needs be
otherwise. When the propeller Vi
brates each of the four blades is driv
ing, two with their faces, two with
their backs, these latter receiving the
water thrown from the foremost pair.
There is a powerful grip in the water,
and at the same time the action Is
smooth, steady silent, never thra>hing
or producing ventilation The waller
is, as it were, wOrmed through the
screw in a uniform thread ,one continu-
Gus stream being thrown from the
centre of the propeller in direct axi-
al line. The power Of the Propeller
Is indicated by the quickness with
which it stops vessel when the mo
ton of the screw Is reversed. \

length on the motion Of the screw be-

are now experimenting with this pc
culiar propeller, which is likely TO be
Of great public utility.

TaE Moon AND THE WEATHEa.-Ihe
notion that the moon exertS an IniiG-
enee on the weather Is so deeply root
ed that notwithstanding all the at
tacks which have been made against
i, since meteorology has been serious
Iy studied, il continues TO retain lis
hold upon US. And yet there never
was q popular superstition more utter
IL without basis than this one. If the
moon really did possess any power
owe. the weather, that power could
only be exercised in one Of three ways
by reflection of the suns rays, by
attraction, or by emaaation. Now,
as the brightest light OF full moon is
never equal in intensity or quantity
TO that which is reflected towards US
by q white cloud on summer day, Ii
can scarcely be pretended that weath
er is affected by such a cause. lhat
the moon does exert attraction on us
is u1anifested-we see its workings IN
the tides but though it can mcVe
water, it is most unlikely that 1t can
do the same 10 air, for the specific
gravity of the atmosphere Is 50 small
that there ia nothing TO be attracted.
LapIace calculated, indeed, that the
Joint attraction of the the sun aud
moon together could not stir the at
mosphere at a quicker rate than five
miles day. As for lunar emanations,
not sign of them has ever been dis
covered. The idea of an influence
being produced by the phases of the
moon is therefore based on no recog-
nizabie cause whatever. Furthermore
il is now distinctly shown that no va
riations at all really occur in weather
at the moment of the changes OF quart
er any more than at any other ordin-
ary times. Since the establishment
OF meteorological stations all over the
earth, it has been proved by millions
of observations that there Is no 81
multaneousneSs whatever between the
supposed effect. The whole story Is
a fancy and superstition which has
been handed down to us as uncontra>
dicted, and which we have accepted
as true because our forefatherS bellev
ed it. The moon exercises no more IN
fluence on weather than herrIngs do
on the government Of Switzerland

RArrLgsNAKEs AND THEIR BIrEs.-In
the course of some notes on the rattle
snake. published in Forest 6 Stream,
DIR. J. w. Bailey, of Albany, asserts
that this serpent is the most sluggish
of the snake family. 1t never strikes
unless in self defence, excepting just
before and after It's winter sleep. Of
course, the rattlesnake's idea OF self
defence is rather broad. Thus, if q
person step upon it by the purest acci-
dent the snake will make no allow
ance, but strike the intruder on the
spot. To strike, however, it must be
in close coil, with It's head erect. It
il capable of spriDging only little
more than half lis length, unless 1t be
lying on an inclined plane; then by
supporting itself on its tail, it can
spring much farther. Hogs attack
the rattlesnake with impunity, the eff
feet of the poison being probably neu-
tralized by a thick layer of adipose
tissue. DIR. Bailey is able to contra
dict from his own experience, the
statement that serpents do not move
about at night be has often, when
riding by moonlight seen them gliding
through the grass. The author says
that when the venom of serpent has
entered the circulation, all remedies
are unavailing. He has seen fresh.
ly killed chicken split open and appli
ed to the wound, with good results.
In such cases the flesh of the chicken
turns green and putrid where it comes
in contact with the virus. The most
certain remedy, however, is WHISKY Or
brandy used in large quantities-say
quart-immediately. IntoXicatiOn
