Success of the Butter Sculptures in
Boston.

Mrs. Caroline s. Brooks, of Cincinnati
fame, is exhibiting and modelling in but
ter at Armory Hail, to ,the-gr enter
tainment and approval Of the Boston pub
lie. My acquaintance with the beautiful
artist, which WAS very glad to renew,
was dramatically begun in box which

feeling of being her Boston god-mother.
am, however, in danger OF finding
rival in Mrs. Livermore, who carried Mrs.
Brooks home with her last Saturday for
a quiet Sunday outside the city. Mrs.
Brooks is diligently working in alterna-
ton between "Pansy," an exquisite face,
sunny as the flower whose name it bears,
and a study of Dick SwiveIer's faithful
friend, the "Marchioness,' at her solitary
game of cribbage. This is the first full
length Mrs. Brooks has attempted, but the
attenuated figure and striking head-gear
of the "small servant" are in such q state
of forwardness that | venture to predict q
complete success. "Pansy" was begun in
the presence of six representatives Of the
press, who timed the work. 1t was ex-
actly half an hour from the time she be-
gan on the lump of butter to the moment
that the thought of the artist became rec
equitable in the face. A plaster cast of
"Narcissus," another OF. her butter heads,
has been taken, and is very satisfactory
to Mrs. Brooks, who has always looked
for such result. can see that expe-
rience has developed Mrs. Brooks won
derfully. She models with an ease, cool
ness and indifference to Interruptions
which is very gratifying to those of US
who remember her solemn, though not
doubtful, concentration upon her work,
on her trial in the Judges Hall.-Oor.

A superb Blood penurant.

Upon the action Of the kidneys, bladder
and bowels depend the depuration Of the
blood. 1t is by promoting the activity Of
these organs that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters ensures purity to the circulation. In
its passage through the kidneys, impurities
which beget rheumatism, gout, and gravel
are strained from the blood, but when those
small but all important organs grow mac
tive, these Impurities Of course remain, and
inevitably produce the diseases mentioned
Hostetters Bitters rouse the kidneys to re-
newed activity, by which means the blood is
depurated. It likewise purifies the blood
when contaminated with bile by promoting
gentle but effectual action Of the bowels.
and has the further effect Of regulating the
action Of the liver, thus counteracting q
tendency to 6iliousness. Dyspepsis, malari-
al fevers and urinary complaints are also

A LITTLE BEHIND ON THE NEws.-A
South Carolina resident came down out
of the mountains one day, lately, and
asked of the first man he met:
"What's the news from the war;"
"Oh, it's booming right along" said
the stranger.
Richmond keeps holdin' her own,
then2" quizzed the mountain man.
"RichmondP yelled the stranger
"there isn't any war in Richmond-it's
on the Danube and around Batoum and
Erzeroum, and pointing on towards Con-
stantinople."
"Oh, yaas," observed the mountain
man, hesitatingly, "it's drifted round to
them, ere places, has it9"
And>as he passed on around cliff, the
amazed stranger heard that mountaineer
uttering to himself:
81 hain't read the papers much l-tely,
that's so, and ] reckon I'm gittin' little
behind on the news"

FIELD MARSHAL Won MoLTKE.-When
Won Moltke returned to Holstein, after
recognizing the Turkish army, he found
living there with his sister-who had
married Mr.. Butte, an Englishman-a
young girl between fifteen and sixteen, a
daughter Of Mr.. Bute's first marriage.
The pretty little girl loved already, be-
fore seeing him, the soldier who had sent
from the Orient such interesting letters to
his sister. As for Won Moltke, he had
until then seen in a woman only a being
constantly interfering with the methodi-
cal life ~of)a worker. But when a man
more than forty years old is loved by a
bewitching girl of sixteen, he ends by re-
turning her affection. From that time
there was but one woman in the world to
him, as there was but one work. He
married sweet Mary Butte, and when she
died-in '68-the great Field Marshal
could say that his life, as a social being,
was also ended; only the soldier remained.
The Countess was buried in the beautiful
park in Silesia, and on the marble above
her is written, "Love is the fulfilling of
the law" Mary Won Moltke was very
bright, very charming, very merry, and it
is told rs pathetic truth that since her
death the Field Marshal has not been seen
to laugh.

Pure Water for Stock.

Prof. Law, in a lecture on animal par
asites delivered before the Farmers Club
of Ithica, N. Y, condensed report of
which we find in the Country Gentleman,
stated that intestinal worms might find
ingress to the animal through drinking
impure water.
These animals, known as pin worms,
(Scler0st0rnum equinum and S. tetrdcdn-
thum, and Oryuris curUuLa and o. Uiui-
para), aud which are only an inch or two
in length, attack the mucous membranes,
and bore their way into them, Obstructing
circulation, causing Inflammation, and
producing cramps, colics and indiges-
ton. Other species attack swine, sheep
and poultry. Largely magniied repre-
sentations of their eggs were represented
by charts. These eggs are swallowed by
the animals in drinking impure water,
and hence the importance of Psoyiding
that which is pure and free from them.
The eggs will remain uninjured for a
year, and may be carried miles in streams
and then be swallowed aud hatch in the
stomach and intestines of animals. The
eggs will remain unharmed in ice, even
at the temperature of zero, and are unaf-
fected by the heat of the suns rays. They
may be conveyed from the manure which
contains them, by subterranean streams
into adjacent wells. In some places sheep
have perished in large numbers from at
tscks of these animals, and their pres
ence in swine is well-known; but horses
suffer most.
The first thing to be done is to prevent
their propagation. Hence pure water
only should be applied for drink. Rain
water is safest, as it cannot contain them.
Springs and wells may be well selected, if
situated where there can be no infiltra-
ton. Porous soils, near manure heaps,
may readily convey the eggs. Prof.
Law pointed out in detail the treatment
OF ANIMALS which contain them, and the
use of proper medicines. The indications
of the presence of these worms in the
horse are general unthrifty appearance,
irregularity with looseness or costiveness
from internal arrangement, rubbing of
the tail, etc. The passage of the worms
and eggs is shown by examination of
the manure under the microscope. The
whole of this lecture was scientific and
practical, interesting and instructive in
character.

A NATURAL CURIosITY.-In the great
valley between the North and South
Mountains, in Pennsylvania, commonly
called the Eastern Ridge, well was dug
some years since 10 Franklin, and another
in Cumberland County, thirty or forty
miles from the former, which led to dis
covery affording subject for interesting
speculation. After proceeding in each in
stance to the depth of about thirty-six
feet, the bottom of these wells gave way
(but fortunately when the workmen had
retired) and a torrent of water rushed up.
A lead was sunk with fifty fathoms of line
without finding the least obstruction.
They remain at this time untouched and
of unknown depth. The presumption is,
there is a subterranean lake in that quar-
ter, and how far it extends under the base
of the vast primitive mountains, situated
between the Susquehanna and Pittsburgh,
will never be ascertained, unless by some
terrible convulsion of nature they should
be precipitated in the tremendous abyss.

A Great Mill.
ONE OF THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD.

ONE OF THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD.
Though not located in the city, the Starr
Mills may be considered as city Institution.
In future days Vallejo will be looked upon as
suburb Of San Francisco. and even now all
the business Of this mill is as much carried
on here as though 1t was located within the
corporate limits. The following description
OF 1t from letter which appeared some time
since in the Journal Of Commerce will give
very good idea Of what Is carried on there:
~ln connection with direct export shipments
OF Wheat and Flour, 1t will be most proper to
credit Vallejo with having as large II not the
largest Flour mill on this continent, which
claim embraces the world. This modest as
sertion will no doubt excite surprise In the
minds OF many, nevertheless / challenge a
showing equaling the following: From July
LIST, 1915, TO April LIST, 1877, two hundred and
seventy-four days, less thirty-nine Sundays,
leaves 2S5 working days-2$7SlS barrels of
Flour were made and turned out OF the mill
an average OF l,012 barrels per each working
day. With 10 days subtracted for time lost
In repairs, etc, making the actual working
time ZIG days, the average is over 100 bar.
Tels per day, which places the Starr Mills of
Vallejo above the celebrated Washblrne
mills OF Minneapolis, Minnesota, by over one
hundred barrels per day, provided the Mime
sofa rival really turned out what it claims to
nave the ability, viz, 1000 barrels per day.
1t is fact among those familiar with mills
that calculations based upon their full ca
pacity cannot be relied upon; contingencies
operate against turning out the amount at
which they are rated. The Starr Mills are
not exceptional; their largest days run dur
ing the time named was ,475 barrels, while
their full capacity is 1900 barrels per dav
The mills, as with men, the results determine
rather than ratings. We rest our case with
nine months run, averaging over 1000 bar
rels per day" The firm is composed Of A.
d. Starr, A. W. Starr and A. Bannister, and
they do business in San Francisco, Vallejo
and Liverpool-S. F. Journal Of Commerce.

Iris now argued that tits unnecessary to
kill broken-legged horses, and a case in
point isstated: Twelve weeks ago, the nigh
hind leg was broken of Mr.. Williams's
valuable and favorite mare, in Utica, by
kick from another horse. The fractnre
was half way between the fetlock and the
gambrel joints, and was complete. A
veterinary surgeon undertook to set the
leg. A canvas sling was arranged, and
the mare suspended in it in such way
that she could occasionally rest upon her
uninjured limbs. The fractured leg was
then set, bound with hickory and
leather splints with heavy leather
boot outside of all. The mare did we'll
and never missed a meal. After three
weeks,a plaster of Paris bandage was sub
stituted, and in seven weeks "Nellie"was
walking around the stable. There was
no sign of the fracture, and it is thought
that she will keep her 2 40 gait.

DUCKLNGs MORE PROFITABLE THAN
CHIcKENs.-The saying often applied to
young ducks that "they eat more than
they are worth" may be a very unjust
one. Several years ago we were speak
ing with a woman who raised yearly
large numbers of ducks and chickens, re-
garding the comparative amount of food
consumed to bring them To- their full
growth. She stated that "ducks eat less
in proportion to their growth than chick
ems" Our readers may be surprised at
this, but giving the matter little thought
they will understand the reason. 1t is
because the ducklings reach maturity
sooner than the chickens, and, of course,
the longer it takes to bring a creature to
maturity, the greater the expense, not
only of food, but of time and trouble.
Experiment has demonstrated the fact
that, with the same quantity of food and
care, the ducklings, in ninety days from
the she'll, may be made to weigh nine or
ten pounds per pair, or over, while chick
ems, in the same length OF time, come to
weigh only six or seven pounds pair.
Hence the remark quoted at the COM
mencement of this piece does not apply
when ducklings are properly and intel
igently managed.-POultry World.

RECIPE TO CLEANSE WooL.-To two
pailfuls of water, add quart of soft
soap and half pint of common salt.
Heat from $50 to 180 degrees-or a little
warmer than the hand can bear. Put in
all the wool that will stir conveniently,
and let it remain fifteen minutes, moving
it in the kettle occasionally. Then take
1t out; let it drain; return the drained
liquor to the kettle, and add all the wa
ter needed. Repeat theiprocess, and &C.
casionally add little soap and salt.
After the wool is sufficiently drained,
simply rinse it out in cold water, and
you will have it white and soft. Never
let wool boil in the liquid, as that will
fix the gum, render the fibre stiff and gray,
and unfit to make soft flexible yarn.
Fine wool needs more time in the kettle
than coarse. Taggings may be cleansed
in the same manner, by clipping of all
the hard matter that cannot readily be
compressed between the thumb and fn-
ger.-RurdE Nep Yorker.
