Garrottng a Woman i'm Spain.

Prudencia Saint Vera. woman of
Slcedon, Spain, was lately garroted in
Barcelona for numbering her child. On
the day previous to her execution she
was singing joyously in her cell at an
early hour when the sheriff entered. She
listene5 with tranquility to the reading
of the first part of her sentence, but
trembled nerveusly as he proceeded, and
as he closed she tainted. Sisters of
Charity restored her, and she was con-
Quoted to the chapel of the prison. She
struggled violently, protested her limo
cence, screamed, and rolled upon the
ground in commissions. The night was
passed in the chapel with similar mani
festations, but toward morning she slept
through exhaustion. On waking she
listened to the mass with haggard eyes,
confessed Internationally to a priest, and
mechanically took the communion.
Prudencia was then tied In a wagon, and,
followed by gloomy procession of peni-
tents and monks, she reached the scaffold
Being lifted into the fatal chair by the
executioner's assistants, a few seconds
sutnced for the fatal collar to choke her.
For the rest of the day, according to law,
the corpse, with the tongue biackened
and projecting, sat exposed in its black
robe of execution

The Lords of Creation

A correspondent of the Pittsburg
Chronicle reads the following lecture to
the husband of the day:
Why don't somebody tell the husband
of the day that he must come home to
his wife with a smile instead of the in
evitable scowl upon his face? That if
he will be about half as polite to his
wife after as before marriage, she will be
grateful and astonished That he must
not be too tired to do a little thing for
her if she asks him pleasantly. That it
would not hurt him or his dignity" to
take the baby in his strong arms for
time while his wife rests her weak and
weary ones. That he must spend less
money in the purchase of cigars and
chewing tobacco and-someth'ng else,
so that there may be more saved, or ex-
pended upon home comforts. That if
the mutton chops happen to be not quite
to his liking, he might consider that his
wife was probably 50 busy with some
thing equally, or more important, as to
have been unable to attend to the chops,
and if he would pleasantly say, " My
dear, l suppose you were too busy to look
after the supper-I know it is all right
when you are not" they will be all right
next time, if such a thing is possible.

beyond instead of upon his shirt front.
That moustache dripping with cream or
coffee is not the most artistically beauti-
full sight in the world. That he must
once in while, say twice a year, or three
times-I don't want to startle all the
married men into apoplexy--offer his
wife a reasonable amount of money for
personal expenses. That when an
amiable man loses his amiability over a
cruet-stand. or a key, or a shirt, or a
table-cloth, or a mustard-pot, he ought to
be-well there Who ever saw an
q amiable husband p

The supply OF TannIn.

Those who fear for the destruction of
our forests resulting from the demand for
hemlock bark will take comfort in the
successful attempts to obtain tannin from
other sources. 1t has been estimated that
one cord of hemlock bark produces one
barrel of good tannin extract, worth $50.
1t is now found one cord of alder will
produce the same amount: and one ton
of sweet fern gives the best tannin, $22
worth, besides value of $3.50 in an in
ferior kind. There is said to be consid-
cradle activity in Hancock county, Me-,
in the new industry of extracting tannin
from sweet fern.
If a cord of hemlock bark contains $40,
a cord of oak bark has at least a quarter
more of this tannin principle; yet,
nothing is more common in large dis
tricts of Tennessee than the waste of oak
trees and timber, bark and all.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.
RIPening Fruit.

The Baltimore fruit dealers think they
have discovered a method of ripening
fruit which is somewhat better than
natures Upon this point there Will
probably be difference of opinion among
consumers, but the process is an interest
ing one. The fruit is hung in a room
which is made perfectly dark and as
nearly alright as possible. The room
is then heated by means of pipes to the
proper temperature, and the room is
kept closed except when opened for in
spection of progress. The experiments
thus far have been with bananas, and it
has been found that two or three days
only are required to ripen them.

HOne SnaYIn.

The cause of bone SPAWN may be either
of the following: Overworking animals
while too young, the bones being then
soft; using calked shoes or on account of
the dam or sire having been subject to
the same disease. Treatment-clip the
hair off the SPAWN for some distance all
round, then apply about half an ounce of
biniOdide of mercury in fine powder,
powdered catharides and rodine, of each
one drachm; lard two ounces. Mix
thoroughly, aud rub in four minutes.
Repeat every three weeks for three ap-
plicatiOns, and allow from three to four
months absolute rest in a comfortable,
roomy bex stall.

Revive the DrooDInr Energies.

When the physical energies drOOp, revive
them with that safest and most active oil
tonics, Hostetter's Stomach BiEters. By q
timely use of this salutary and agreeable
medicine, you viii save yOuseH from posi-
tive disease; for be assured that the Ianguor
and loss of strength and appetite which
troubles you is in fact the precursor of some
malady Of, perhaps, a serious nature. Appe.
tite, tranquility of the nervous system, and
pristine vigor, Will assuredly be restored If
the Bitters are used Systematically, and the
alimentary disturbance, which in nine cases
out of ten gives rise to debility and nervous
ness, be entirely removed. Regularity of
the bowels, active hillary secretion, the
expulsion of impurities from the blood
through the kidneys, are also among the
benefcent effects of this admirable restora-
tive.

Corn for seed.

In selecting corn for seed, it is often the
practice to merely choose large ears from
the general crop. 1t is suggested that this
is not the best method, for, while the
plant may be strong and vigorous and
bear large ears, the corn may have been
fertilized by pollen from feeble or ptunted
plants near it, and the seed may retain
and repeat these adverse qualities in
spite of the rigor of the plant on which il
grew. 1t is said that better plan would
be to plant some of the seed in a small
plot by itself, at distance from the main
crop, and to give this patch plenty of
room and high culture. When the tassels
appear in this seed bed every plant should
be examined, and all feeble stalks should
be pulled out or cut off below the tassel
before it has an opportunity to bloom.
By this arrangement both the plant on
which the ears grow, and the pollen scat
tered from its own and neighbering tas-
sells, will be alike strong and vigorous, and
the seed will partake of the strength of
both its parents.

Live stock management in New England

Live stock Manage menf in New England.
The New England Farmer has an in
teresting article on the care and keep of
a herd Of cattle in Vermont, from which
we clip the following:
The aim here is to breed a COW that
shall stand high on the record, but, at the
same time be perfectly healthy, and of a
tendency for milk production rather than
beef exclusively. The great unsightly
humps and punches of fat which we
sometimes find laid over the hips and
rumps of some of the Short-HOrns,
making them look too clumsy to be COM
Portable, were not observed here to any
marked degree, especially among the
more choice-bred animals. At the time
of our visit nearly all the animals were
in large open yard, well Uttered with
straw, and where they were lcisurly
walking about or lying quietly chewing
their cuds in the warm sunshine and
so kindly are they all treated by their
attendants that of the whole fifty not
one could be found to show the least fear
of man, whether an acquaintance or a
stranger, but many of them would fol-
low us about in our walks, asking as
plainly as actions could ask, for stroke
or pat of the hand over their smooth,
pleasant faces.
The barns, which are substantial and
commOdious, are pictures OF neatness and
comfort. Few of the prisoners in our
penal institutions, we fear, fare as well
as do these animals. with their whole

proportion for each animal AVERAGES
twenty-five pounds of hay, three pounds
OF bran, and one pound of meal nar
day-not heavy food for animals of
that size. From experiments which have
been and are being made, the proprietor
is of the opinion that these large animals

and hereditary tendencies for laying on
flesh, can be Bept quite as cheaply per
