THE EXCAVATIONS AT POMPEII.

In the work of excavation steadily
progressing at Pompeii, there was
recently uncovered a series of wood
en- tablets containing the accounts
Of a banker named Lucius Eccilius
Jocundus, they were enclosed in a
small wooden box which had been
considerably charred on the outer
surface. The leaves Of the tablets
are thin as pasteboard, and are tied
together: by cords passing through
holes in the edges. The outer pages
serving as covers, are clean and
smooth; and the inner ones are coat
ed with wax, and filled with accounts,
which appear to be mainly records Of
loans. Near the tablets was found
a bronze bust Of the banker, bearing
bis name. From 40 to so men are
continually employed in the; excava-
tons, under q subsidy from the Gov
q nment Of 10000 francs. up. to
date, two-ffths Of the area Of the city
has been examined. -, 49,.

PorAToEs FOR SrocK.-A' gentle
man who has been experimenting on
the subject, says in an exchange, he
thinks potatoes are worth thirty cents
per bushel to feed to stock; they are
not only nutritious but are excellent
appetizers and promoters Of digestion.
Experiments go to show that a peck
Of potatoes will produce as much
milk as a bushel Of beets, turnips or
carrots. - -.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Miss Charlotte Cushman is again
suffering from cancer, and her condi-
ton gives serious alarm to her friend.
1t is quite evident that her life can
not long be spared for the enjoyment
Of that peaceful and happy old age
which she SO honestly deserves.
Mr.. A. T. Stewart is now rs
years Of age, but looks not more than
80. He is; hale and hearty. His
habits are excellent. Coffee he Is.
chews. Wine he drinks in modera.
ton at dinner, but never at any 9TH
er time. Hence his remarkable state
Of bodily preservation.
Miss Anna Dickinson's depart
ure for Cuba in search of health does
not necessarily involve the abandon
ment Of her intention to appear on
the stage. She is still studying with
this purpose in view, and she has ex-
pended over $4,000 on stage ward
robe.
In the report Of the Massachu.
sets Inland Fisheries, DR.. Sturte-
want relates I'm incident which illus
trates the extraordinary voracity and
rapid growth of the pickerel. The
Doctor placed two young pickerel in
a trough containing a quantity of
minnows about an inch long. The
first day the pickerel ate 1928 min.
nows; the second day they ate 1872;
and, the third day, $50. On this
diet the pickerel increased in size at
the rate Of one inch per day.
| ALVIN and Charity Hayward,
husband and wife, lived together in
extreme poverty in San Francisco
for many years: Mining speculation
has enriched them to the extent, of
ten millions; and now when both
are over sixty years old, they have
decided that they will be happier
apart. The enormous estate has been
divided evenly between them by mu-
tual agreement, and he is to allow
her to get divorce on the ground OF
desertion.

A SLEEPS TEETH.-I often hear
persons disputing about the age of q
sheep, to my surprise, be it said. For
them to tell the age of q sheep moth.
ing is easier: A sleeps front teeth
the first year are eight in number,
appearing all Of size. Second year
the two middle ones are shed out and
replaced by two much longer than
the others. Third year two very
small ones appear-one on eitbe,
side Of the eight. At the end of the
fourth there are six large teeth. Fifth
year all the front teeth are large
Sixth year all begin to show wear
not till then.-Cor. Exchange.

There seems to he some danger this

There seems to be some danger this
year that the House of Representa-
tives may vote for the proposed re-
duction. 1t is an act Of pure reck-
less demagogism. No man thinks
who thinks at all--that our army
is too large. To guard the fortresses
aud stations Of our vast frontier,
stretching from Maine to the Rio
Grande and from California to Alas
ka, to furnish garrisons for tho little
forts dotting the great wildernesses Of
the West, which form tho only solid
fact the pioneers have to rely on
amid the perils Of Indian treachesry
and Ring thievery, we have an army
Of about 10000 one man to 1000
Of our population. 1t is proposed to
disband half of this army, to throw
away half the bones of this skeleton.
This little army is so small that it is
worked to death. Nearly every Off
Ger Of it does double duty. 1t is the
last refuge Of honor aud obedience to
our public service. 1t is the one de-
partment of the Government where
an oath is sacred, where the least f.
nancial improperly disgraces an off,
Ger among his fellows. Even if it
did no work We could hardly afford
to destroy it. But being as it is, the
most hard-worked and the most cred
liable institution We have in the coun.
try, it seems like insanity to talk Of
turning it adrift. IF the House
should pass such bill we hope the
Senate will have Incidence enough to
let it die, even if it has not vigcz
enough to kill it.-Ne,u York Tribune.

:
The PyaciicaI Farmer says: Not
oue-half the persons who lay shin
giles when making a roof ON, build
ing, have any correct ideas in regard
70 making root that will be abso-
lrteiy .'rain-tight" during u driving
storm Of rain. We have frequently
seen men shingling, who, when they
would meet with a worthless shingle,
say once in laying two or three cours-
Is, would lay this poor shingls among
the good ones, saying, lit is only one
poor single one single cannot
make poor roof!'' ''' But one poor
single will make a leaky one. If
tirstrrate shingles are, employed, and
one poor one is worked in among
every 100, that roof NIGH" about as
we'll have been without any shingles.
II pvor shingles are to be used, let
them all be- laid together near the
upper part Of the roof: The best Of
shingles will not make tight root,
it they are not properly laid, while
| the same shingles would make an ex-
cellent roof it laid as shingles should
be laid.
The correct rule for laying shin.
giles Of auy length, in order to form q
roof "leak-tight,' is to lay the cours-
Is less than one-third the length Of
the shortest shingles. For example,
when shingles are eighteen inches
| long, many Of them will not be more
than seventeen inches in length.
Therefore, five inches is all that the
courses will bear to be laid to the
weather with the assurance Of FORM
ing q good root. The shingles must
be three thicknesses over the entire
roof. If they are not three thick
nesses-if now and then single
lacks quarter Of an inch OF being
long enough to making three thick
nesses-there will in all PROBABILITY,
be a leaky place in the roof at such
points. Moreover, when the lower
courses lack half an inch, or even a
fourth Of an inch, Of extending up
far enough to receive the rain from
the outer.most course, in case the
middle-course were removed, it would
be just as we'll to lay them seven or
eight inches to the weather, as to lay
them only five or five and a halt
inches. Many shingles are only SIX
teen inches long, and many that are
sold tor sixteen inches long will hard
ly measure fifteen inches. In this
case, il the roof be rather fat-say
about one-quarter pitch-four and a
half inches is as tar as they should be
laid to the weather. In case a roof
were quite steep it might answer to
lay the courses four and three quarter
inches to the weather.
When buildings are erected by the
job l1oprletors should give their per-
sonal attention to this subject, and
see that jobbers do not lay the courses
a half inch TOO far to the weather.
There is another important consid.
Grafton which is too frequently over
looked in Smuggling, which is, "break-
ing joints" Careless workmen will
often break joints of the different
courses come SO close together the
roof will most certainly leak. Why
should it not? There is nothing to
prevent it during heavy ran. I'm.
less roof is sleeper than quarter
pitch much care should be taken to
break joints not less than one and a
quarter inches. Let all workmen
and helpers be taught the vast i'm
portance Of rejecting every poor shin:
gle, except when the upper courses
are being laid.
