Different Kinds OF Tongues.

The tongue of kindness Is full of pity,
love and comfort. 1t loves to cheer,
console and encourage.
The tongue of discretion - knows
where to speak, and where to be silent,
careful, what, when and to whom it
speaks.
The tongue of knowledge retails no
small talk, scandalous reports, or small
Affairs of any kind, but tries to please,
enlighten and do good.
The tongue of truth never stretches
itself like Indian rubber to tell a good
story. 1t breads all lies, white, black
or yellow.
The tongue of humility, does not speak
great swelling words, about astonishing
exploits. 1t boasts not of its own great
deeds, has nothing to say of its own
merits.

self rather TO cheese than to butter
making, and of course any formula for
turning the milk OF cows into cheese
will answer for the cheese Of goats. But
while we are on Auvergne cheese goat
management, we may rs well step Into
an Auvergne cheese-room and see the
exact process there. The goats have
been MIXED early and the milk set two
or three hours, then turned with rennet,
the curd pressed and moulded, and
salted on one side The next day 1t Is
salted on the other side. Every day
the cheeses are turned over. If the salt
causes black spots, the cheeses are
washed with fresh water. They must
be kept in dry place. If they are to
be eaten new they must be put between
two plates, and cheese and plates to-
geth-r turned upside down daily. When
very dry, soaking In white wine, and
then the plate treatment, makes them

How THE CALrFORNIA FIELDS ARE
PLowED.-The fields are plowed with
what are called gang plows, which are
simply four, six or eight plow shares
fastened to stout frame of wood. On
the lighter soil, eight horses draw a
seven gang plOw, and one such team is
counted on to put in $40 acres of wheat
in the sowing season; or from eight to
ten acres per day. Captain Gray, near
Merced, has put in this season 1000
acres with five such teams-his own
land and his own teams. A seed sower
is fastened In front of the plow. The
plow has no handles, and the plowman
is, in fact only a driver; he guides the
team; the plOws do their own work. 1t
is easy work, and a smart boy, if his
legs are equal to the walk, is as good a
plOwman as anybody-for the team
turns the corners, and the plow is not
handled at all. On the heavier soil,
the process is somewhat different. An
eight horse team moves a four gang
plOw, and gets over about six acres per
day. The seed is then sown by a
machine which scatters it forty feet,
and sows from seventy-five to one hun
dred acres in day, and the ground is
then narrowed and cross narrowed

A NEW USE FOR ONIoSs.-We see il
stated by New Hampshire paper that
the speediest way to cure the epizootic
and make horse thoroughly happy, is
to give him onions. In proof whereof
the case of a horse is cited, which
had a very severe attack of the disease,
and his owner placed half dozen
onions in the crib with his regular
food. The horse tackled three of the
onions Immediately, and by the time he
had swallawed them began to cough
and sneeze and prance about, appear
ing quite indignant, and refusing TO
touch the remaining onions. For full
five minutes he wept at the nose, and
then-he was a cured horse. He has
not had cough, a sneeze, nor any
symptoms of the epizoOtic since.

PArER BLANKETs.-The suggestion
that has frequently been made In the
newspapers that sheet of brown paper
used as a bed covering between or on
the top of other wrappers, will impart
additional warmth and be as eerviceable
as blanket, has been acted upon by
Mr. Loder who has taken out a patent
for paper blankets. They are perforated
at distances of about four inches, In
order to promote the ventilation which
the density of the brown paper material
interrupts. These paper blankets will
be a great boon to the poor. and as they
are clean, economical and ready for use
In an emergency, they will be accepta-
BILE in hospitals, for the supply Of
which Mr.. Loder has already obtained
two or three contracts. In schools and
private families their cleanliness and
comfort will bring them into much
6, rvice, and In hot climates, where
blankets are liable to be infested with
insects, these paper coverlets will be
found to be very desirable. They will
also be welcome for being light as we'll
as efficient. Prices are, 4Sx33 inches,
I'll per blanket. and the larger sizes 81

Sch hemck's Pulmonie syrup, See. weed
Tonic and Mandrake Rflis.

These deservedly celebrated and pop
ular medicines have effected a revolu-
tion in the healing art, and proved the
fallacy of several maxims which have
for many years Obstructed the progress
of medical science. The false supposi-
ton that Consumption Is incurable"
deferred physicians from attempting to
find remedies for that disease, and pa
tients afflicted with ii reconciled them
selves to death without making an eff
fort to escape from a doom which they
supposed to be unavoidable. 1t Is now
proved, however, that Consumption can
be cured, and that IL hos been cured in Q
very great number of cases (some of
them apparently desperate onesl by
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and
in other cases by the same medicine In
connection with Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both,
according 70 the requirements Of the
case.
DIR. Schenck himself, who enjoyed
uninterrupted good health, for more
than forty years, was supposed, at one
time to be at the very gate OF death, his
physicians having pronounced his csse
hopeless, and abandoned him TO his
fate. He was cured by the aforesaid
medicines, and since his recovery many
thousands similarly affected have used
DIR. Schenck's preparations with the
same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, max
ing it not absolutely necessary TO per-
sonally see DIR. Schenck unless patients
wish their lungs examined, and for this
purpose he is professionally at his prin-
cipal Office, Corner Sixth and Arch Sta,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all
druggists.

SLoBBERIN6.-Thec cause of slobber-
ing in horses, like that of milksickness,
seems to be ascribed by many to eating
clover, but to my mind, and that by
practical test, it is quite different. If
any one will 20 where the dew is on
the grass and gather a peculiar woven
spiderweb, and take small quantity
and swallow 1t, he will find a prickly
sensation on the glands Of the throat,
and for time will slobber the same as

HINTS on House. HEATING. - The
problem Of correct heating Ia next to be
considered. The old-fashioned fire.
place or glowing CRATE has been steadily
growing In favor Of late, and has
evidently a destiny to fulfil. One thing,
however, should be remembered, and
that Is not to allow a multiplicity of
heating appliances to do away with the
healthy exercise Of the heat giving
properties of the human system. People
in good health in a rightly-constructe
and ventilated dwelling have no need
for the excess of caloric which dwellers
in damp, air tight and unhealthy struct-
ures demand. The ceilings should be
sufficiently high, and the windows made
to lower and raise. The latter point is
specially important, from the fact that
ventilation Is much better promoted by
a slight opening above and below than
by single aperture.

HoRsEsHoEs FOR SLIPPERY STREETS
A well-known student of veterinary
surgery, Mr.. George Fleming writes TO
the London ''Times," explaining a
simple device for preparing horse
shoes for rlippery streets, which has
been tried extensively and with marked
success. 1t consists of a simple steel
stud, of a square shape, some two or
three inches In length, one end of
which is pointed; the other end, which
has a verv slight taper. fits tightly into
hole of corresponding size, at the ex-
tremity of each bral.ch ogt''heel" of the
shoe, reaching nearly To- ibut not above
its foot surface. When fhe horses are
shod, square holes are punched in the
shoes. The studs are kept in readiness
and rs soon as roads get slippery. the
studs are inserted into each hole, and a
slight tap with hammer serves to
fasten them in, while the weight Of the
horse drives them In and keeps them in
place. Owing to the slight taper on
the portion of the steel stud ~hich fits
into the shoe, it can be easily taken
out and sharpened at any time. The
studs last long time; and the simplic-
ity and efficiency Of this plan has at
tracted wide attention among English
hOrse-Owners.

Ventiiating BY Aachinery.-Mr. Carl
Pfeiffer said, In substance, that.
through the difference of from 80 deg.
to 40 deg. between outer and inner air,
a sufficient ventilation in an apartment
may be obtained in winter, but not in
spring, summer, or fall. In these sea-
sons it will be necessary to resort to
mechanical means, which the best au-
thOrities consider generally to be nearer
perfect than any other ventilating
system. Mr.. Pfeiffer thought that own
ers cf tenement houses should be forced
to supply proper ventilating machinery
which should be lOcatedout of the reach
of the tenants.

A NEW CEREAL.-A new cereal has
been grown in the State Of Oregon, and
thus far no one has been able to clas-
sify it, for while it bears general re-
semblance to wheat, vet its stalk, mode
of growth, and heavy filaments, cause
it to be taken for rye or barley by the
most experienced farmers. In present.
ing it to a dozen agriculturists, no two
in succession will agree as to what sort
of grain it is. 1t does not belong to
the family of either wheat or rye or
barley. 1t was discovered in this wise I:
A farmer living in TilamOOk county,
Oregon, while out bunting about four
years ago, killed several wild geese.
On opening one he noticed a pecu-
liar grain in its stomach. Its form puz-
zled him, but desiring to know what it
really was, he planted il in the spring
and raised a bounteous crop from it,
and subsequently raised forty bushels
on a half acre of land. 1t has a most
striking appearance in the field owing
to its dense character, its long heavily
bearded filaments, and dropping head.
Its mode of growth is also different
from any grain with which / am ac-
Quainted. for from seven to ten stalks
spring from one root. and attain a
height, when ripe, of four and half to
five feet. They are very thin, compact,
of bright straw color, and extremely
hard, as if they contained large guam
tity of silex.

MENDrNG RUBBER BOOTs.-The Chris
tian Weehly gives the following receipt
for mending holes and cracks in rubber
boots:
Cut virgin rubber or native India
rubber with a wet knife, into the thin
nest possible slices, and with shears
divide these into threads as fine as fine
yarn. Put small quantity of the shreds
(say one-tenth or less of the capacity of
the bottle) into q wide-mouthed bottle,
and ill it three-Quarters full Of benzine
of good quality, perfectly free from oil.
The rubber will swell up almost i'm
mediately, and In q few days, especially
if often shaken, assumes the consistency
of honey. II 1t inclines to remain In
undissolved masses, more benzine must
be added; but IL too thin and watery,
it needs more rubber. A piece Of rubber
the size of walnut will make pint of
the cement. This cement dries in few
minutes, and by using three coats in
the usual manner, will unite leather
straps, patches, rubber soles, backs of
books, eLc., with exceeding firmness.-
The India-rubber, unvulcanized, can be
obtained at most large stores where
rubber goods are sold, and at some drug
stores.

The termination of Seeds.-SOme in
tcresting experiments on the growth OF
seeds have been conducted by NJ.
UlOth, These were undertaken with q
view to determine whether seeds could
be made to terminate in ice, and the
process may be described as follows /;
Seeds of various species were placed
in grooves made in ice cakes, and over
the groOved surface other plates of ice
were laid, and the whole removed to a
cool cellar in January, and there they
remained till the following May. An ex-
animation then made disclosed the fact
that many of the seeds had actually
germinated. the roots penetrating into
tine ice. Ii is but natural, says Apple
toms Journal. that facts of this startling
character should give rise to cOntrO-
versy, and SD we are not surprised to
learn that opposite views are enter
