OFFENSIVE CIsTERN WATER.-The bad
odor so often complained of is mainly
due to the presence of fine particles of
decaying vegetable matter. The best
way TO avoid it is to pass the water
through a filter before it goes into the
cistern. What is termed a double els
tern is the most convenient method of
filtering-that is a partition of brick is
put in, which answers for filter. For
temporary relief from offensiveness,
sink bag of charcoal i'm the water. This
will not purify it, but remove in a great
part the unpleasant smell.

Disease and the Faculty of Memory
The faculty of memory Is one OF the
first to be obviously affected by dis
ease. When disease for time seems
to suspend the action OF this faculty,
or visibly to diminish it, the result is
not looked upon as phenomenal. for 1t
Is common and expected. But when
disease increases the power of this
faculty, thing not uncommon, the pa
tient is not unfrequently regarded as
possessing more than human wisdom,
and the case usually excites comment
as one of great mystery. DIR. Stein
bach mentions the case of a clergyman
who, being summoned to administer
the sacrament to an illiterate peasant,
found the patient praying aloud IN
Greek and Hebrew. The case was
deemed wellnigh miraculous. After
the peasants death, it was found that
he was accustomed in youth to hear
the parish minister pray IN those lam
guages, and it was inferred that he
must have been repeating remembered
words without understanding their
meaning. DR.. AbercrOmbie relates the
circumstances of a more remarkable
case. A poor shepherd-girl was for a
time accustomed to sleep in a room
adjoining that occupied by an itinerant
musician. The man was an artist by
education, lover of his profession,
and often spent large portion of the
night in. practising difiicnlt compost
tions. The violin was his favOrIte IN
strument. At last the shepherd girl
fell ill, and was removed to a charita-
BILE institution. Here the attendants
were amazed at hearing the most ex-
qIisite music in the night, in which
were recognized finely-rendered pas
sages from the best works of the old
masters. The sounds were traced to
the shepherd room, where the
patient was found playing the violin
In her sleep. Awake, she knew nothing
of these things, and exhibited no Ca
pacity for music. = Popular Science

CREAM on ONIONs.-Putting cream on
onions instead of butter Tor even a little
milk If one has no cream) removes much
of the strong flavor and renders them
less likely to affect weak stomachs un-
pleasantly.

The best way to admit pure air in the
night (where windows are the only
mode of ventilation) is to open the sleep
ing-room into hall where there is an
open window in order to avoid the
draught. A window with a small OPEN
ing at top and bottom ventilates more
than one with one opening only.

HoW House Air Is Spoiled.-The fol-
lowing facts will show how the air
in houses becomes contaminated
. 1. An adult person consumes "a
Rrammes of oxygen per hour. gramme
being equal to Is grains.
2. A stearin candle consumes about
one half as much.
8. An adult gives off 40 grammes per
hour of carbOnic acid. A child of 50
lbs. weight gives off as much as an
adult of 100 lbs. weight.
4. A schoOlroOm filled with children
will, if not well ventilated at the be-
ginning of the hour, contain 35 parts
in 200 of carbonic acid, at the end of
the first hour Al, and end of the second
hour 81.
5. The air is also spoiled by the per-
spiration of.the body, and by the vol
atile oils given out through the skin.
An adult gives off through the skin
in "a hours from 500 to 800 grammes of
water mixed with various excrements,
poisonous if breathed.
6. A stearin candle gives off per hour
O'4 cubic feet of carbOnic acid, and o. Oh
lbs of water.
z. Carbonic oxide is a much more
dangerous gas than carbOnic acid, and
this obtains entrance TO our rooms In
many ways, through the cracks in
stoves and defective stOvepipes, or
when the carbOnic acid of the air comes
in contact with a very hot stove and
is converted into carbonic oxide. The
dust of the air may, on hot stove. be
burnt to produce it; or it may flow out
from our gas pipes when the gas is not
perfectly consumed.
8. Another form of air injury is the
dust of a fungus growth which fills the
air in damp and warm places. We
call it miasm from want of true
knowledge of its character.
9. Accidental vapors are the crowning
source of air poisoning. These are to-
baccO smoke, kitchen vap0rs, wash
room vapors, and the like.
10. When we heat our houses and
close them from outside air. the heat
turns the mixture into vile mess un-
fit for breathing. The only remedy is
ventilation. Now that it is cold wea-
ther and our rooms are closed from
free currents of outside air. let us look
after the matter thoroughly and do our
best to prevent injury to ourselves
from polluted air.

FODDER Corn AND HUNGARIAN
GkAss.-Prof. Atwater ends his lesson
in the September number of the ADseri-
can Agricultnrist by saying: "To econ
omize in feeding, see that the folder
contains plenty of nitrogen. And this
for two reasons: because stock cannot
digest their food completely without it,
and because they need albuminoids for
their nutrition" The "walks and
Talks" lesson begins by giving q table
compiled by DIR. Harlan, Of Whining
ton, Delaware, showing the amount of
nitrogen in a ton of different crops.
ga ton eff Hungarian millet has
twenty pounds, ton of green clover
twelve pounds, a ton of green corn four
pounds. If by Hungarian millet is
meant what we call Hungarian grass,
or millet, then by mixing equal parts OF
green corn and millet we have in the
mixture a food as rich in nitrogen az
green clover. If there is no mistake
about this, it is very important lesson.
Fodder corn, which has not nitrogen
enough to make it a first-clsss food,
finds, i'm Hungarian grass, a friend that
has more of that material than the law,
as laid down by Prof. Atwater, allows
good fodder to need: but, by putting
their nitrogen into common purse
and then dividing equally, they can
both stand in the presence of clover
which has been considered both king
and queen of fodder.
"Some experiments in feeding fodder
corn this season satisfied me that the
same law which governs the time for
cutting rye, oats and grass, to get the
most milk, governs green corn. When
i'm leaf and before it tassels, is the time
to cut to have the cows give the most
milk from what they eat of it. A lot OF
cows that averaged eight quarts a day
on sweet corn fodder, tasseled and
silked, when fed m ground seed corn
in leaf, not tasseled, though it stood six
feet high, other conditions, as far as
know, being equal, gave an average Of
nine quarts per day.

THE TRUE TEST OF VEGETABLES
Large vegetables may indicate good
strong soil, thorough culture and high
manuring, but it is question in my
mind whether the mammoth things
should always receive the first award.
At the table where we give the true test
to vegetables size does not rank as a
very important attribute. L was as
founded to see so little tasting and ex-
animation of texture by the committee
that Judged the vegetables. No man is
thoroughly capable of passing upon the
relative merits Of specimens in this
class unless he can go more than skin
deep i'm the matter. l never SAW so per-
feet an exhibition of garden products as
was shown at the State Fair. There
was earnest and close competition.
Still in the awarding of prizes 1 saw no
Judging of quality by taste, which is
the true test. The prizes may be awar-
ded correctly, but not as the result of
careful comparison of quality. A man
NAV know vegetables so well as to
Judge from the constant surface attri-
butes that accompany first quality, but
have failed to meet the man yet who
considers himself so skillful as this.
The judges of apples would consider it
absurd to pass upon the value of an ap-
pie by its size and complexion alone.
Is it not equally unjust to pass upon
beets, potatoes and turnips in this way !!
Tine quality of these vegetables is just
as apparent to the connOisseur In its
raw state as that of an apple. do hope
there will be progress in this matter,
and that men who judge will have a
solid foundation for their decisions.

To ASCERTAIN if plant wants fresh
potting, turn it carefully out of the pot
with the earth attached to it, and ex-
anime the roots. If they are matted
about the sides and bottom of the ball,
the plant evidently requires fresh pot
ting. Then carefully reduce the ball
of earth to about a third of its original
bulk; single out the matted roots and
trim away all that are moldy and de-
cayed. Probably the same pot may
then be large enough. but if it requires
a larger one, it should be about two
inches broader for middle-sized plant; !;
three or four for a large plant. If the
roots are not matted but the pots are
filled with fibers. keep the BAN entire
and carefully plant it in a larger pot.
At the top of large pot, and small
one, half an inch should be left for the
reception of water, without danger of
overflow. A little gravel, charcoal, or
pieces of broken pots should always be
placed at the bottom for drainage.

turned it out and rinsed thoroughly
with water. Then ItoOk piece of sheet
iron and made funnel shaped cup that
would go into the bung hole, riveted a
narrow piece of hoop iron to 1t, about Is
inches long, then put a red hot bolt into
the cup and filled it with sulphur, and
put it into the barrel and cleansed the
vents and bung. let it stSy about five
hours then rinsed well and it was all
right. The handle to the cup makes it
easy to fumigate barrels.
