Of University College Uondon) frof' lyn-

indefatigable brain workers OF our century,

Hercules as oarsman in rotten boat,

| Of his stroke expedite the ruin oil his craft
Take care Of the timbers Of your boat. Ihe
distinguished scientists advice is equally
valuable to all workers. We are apt 10 de-
vote all our energies to welding the oars,
our strokes fall firm and fast, but few OF us
examine or even think OF the condition OF
our boats until the broken Of rotten timbers
suddenly give way and we hnd ourselves the
victims of a calamity which could have been
essi'y avoided by a little foreihought. What
began with slight fracture, or perhaps even
a careless exposure to disofganlhhg IN
auences. ends in the complete wreck oi the
lfe. boat. The disease which began with
slight headache or an undue exposure 10

be checked, and the disease remedied. lhe

no indication OF the strength OF the on-coi-

A Letter Forty Years In Transmission.

An application was recently received
at the dead-letter Office in Washington
from Palmer Gardner, of Burlington,
Rancine county, Wis, for a letter mailed
tohim in 1898. Thisletter contained a GER
tifcate of deposit for three hundred and
sixty dollars, issued by the Onondago bank
of Syracuse, n. Y, and was sent from
there in October of the year mentioned,
by William n. Gardner to his brother,
Palmer Gardner, at Detroit, Michigan
territory" Not being claimed at De-
troit, it was sent to the dead.letter office,
and thence back TO the postmaster at
Syracuse, who, being unable to find the
sender, returned it to the dead letter
office again, where it lay undisturbed in
the dusty files until the centennial cx-
hibition 1t was then conveyed, with
other curiosities of the dead-letter office,
to Philadelphia, and there CHANGED to I've
seen by an acquaintance of Mr.. Gardner,
who informed him of his discovery, and
thus, after a lapse of more than forty
years, the letter rachel its destination.
The postage on the letter, when it was
first mailed from Syracuse, was twenty.
| five cents.

Turkish Ruilianism In Bulgaria.

The Londoa Times correspondent at
Constantinople forwarded recently a
story illustrating the present admins
tration at Bulgaria. On Christmas day,
a Turkish gendarme, enrsged with the
Christian mayor of the village of Brank-
ortsi, after severe beating, saddled and
bridled him, AMI compelled the poor
wretch to carry him up and down the
street, finally driving him to the village
inn, where he threw the reins to the
hostler, ordering him 10 walk his horse
up and down. The landlord remon.
sIrated, whereupon the rufiin Knocked
him down and ordered his victim to be
fed with hay, which was actually done.

being finally tethered up outside the
door He was AT lat released, on \.

FARM AND ElRESiDE.
Burnt Corn tor Fowls.

There is one thing which nature does
not supply and which civilization, the
Germantown Telegraph thinks, renders
quite necessary to fowls. 1t is charcoal.
But charcoal made of wood does not an
swer the purpose; it has no taste OF food,
is not attractive TO the fowl, and is seldom
eaten. Butifany one will put an ear OF ripe
corn into the fire till the grains are well
charred, and then shell off the corn and
throw it to his flock, he will zee an eager
ness developed and healthy condition
brought about which will make de.
cided improvement. All pale combs will
become a bright red that busy song
which precedes laying will be heard, and
the average yiold of eggs will be greatly
increased.

The Boston Cultivator contains the
following, prepared by Jonathan Tai
cott:
Some years ago Suffolk and Leicester
pig, mostly Suffolk, was lattened at one
and half years old, the usual practice
in this section at the present time many
farmers tatten pigs at eight and nine
months old for their supply of meat, thus
saving the expense OF winters feeding
and getting finer quality of meat
for table use. In August the hog
weighed three hundred and sixty pounds.
The manner OF feeding was three timec
a day with boiled sugar beets, boiled in
kettle holding nine bushels; the beets
being pulled and thrown into the kettle,
toys and roots, as they grew, were not
washed, but all adhering dirt rubbed off;
no milk er any other drink given the
hogexceptt the water the beets were boiled
in, and the natural juices of the beets,
rs the object was to test the value of the
sugar beet for the purposes of fattening
swine without the addition of sour milk
from the dairy; therefore only the beets
were fed, cooked as stated the feed was
three pals day, morning, noon and
night, the pail holding twelve quarts.
that amount :he hog would eat up clean,
perhaps more, as his appetite was not
cloyed, the intention was TO feed about
as much as he would eat up clean, and
no more. The first of September, after
feeding fifteen days, he weighed three
hundred pounds, gain OF two pounds
per day. The feeding was continued !;
same quantity and manner of feed
ing through September; thirty days
gave sixty pounds additional weight,
making total on October first of four
hundred and fifty pounds He was fed
the next month in the same manner, and
then weighed five hundred pounds. His
gain for the two and half months had
been very uniform. On November first
he was fed m meal, corn and oats ground
together -one-third corn-f.d six quarts
a day; two quarts morning, noon and
night. wet with cold water. His gain
thus fed was thre pou;e sr day dur.
