sCRIBEER'sI MONTHLY for February 10 at hand as
prompt and inviting usual. 1t opens with racily
written and charmngly illustrated paper on Trout
Fishing in the Rangely Lakes, which lakes, we may
say for the benefit Of any whose geography little

read Of speckled trout weighing eight pounds is
enough 10 make one long for a bamboo rod, cavalry
boots rubber blanket and other paraphernalia OF
eampng-outlfe, and then start for the Mooselucma-
gunc. The first illustration, "Telliug Fish Stories"
is perfect, and We only wish we had nt on
in one OF Prnng's unsurpassed chromos hung so that
we might look upon 1t every now and then. The Soc
ond paper is A Winter on the Nile by Gen. Mcclellan,
one of series Of very readable articles after which IL

continuation Of DR.. Hollands serial Nicholas Min

prince of culpris Tweed being especially valuable.
DR.. Holland sometimes goes astray, think, but he
so uniformly hits the mark, and good one, too,

A NATURAL CURIosITY.-We have re-
oeived from friend chip taken from the
heart of an oak tree. which Is half oak and
half quartz rock The tree red oak, grew
upon the farm of p. w. Jones, at Chestnut
Hill, in Amherst. twas four feet and three
inches in diameter, and seemed to possess
some strange power of attracting lightning,
as Mr., Jones says that to his personal knowl'
edge, the lightning has struck this tree, or
within twenty-five rods Of it every year for
the past %. To prevent the cattle and colts
from being killed by the lightning which il
attracted it was decided to cut the tree, and
in the center of it, nearly two feet from the
bark, the chopper struck a stone foot il
diameter. The stone is granite quartz
aud has become so firmly imbedded in the
tree that it seems to bepart aud parcel Of the
wood. Judging from the rings which mark
the annual growth, the tree was about liz
years old. 1t was perfectly sound, and thu
heart nearly as hard as the rock il contained

A STATEMENT.-I set our rnilk in Cooley's

sive-three hundred and twenty-three pounds

one ounce to the pound. Milk set twenty

PREVENT LIcE.-TO keep lice from cattle
without fail, make two or three holes in the
edge of the stanchions next to the necks of
the cattle, and fill with unguentum. Ten or
fifteen cents worth is enough for use on

Swedish butter has acquired high rep

lively large prices; in consequence of this,
the question is being agitated by English
dairymen whether tho plan of setting milk
on ice-water and reducing it to about 80 or
SO degrees, Fahrenheit, the year round, may
not be of decided advantage. That cream
rises rapidly when milk is treated with ice-

The sergeant at Washington
has in his gift the appointment Of one
half of the Capitol police. He has the
disbursement of the salaries of members,
and Of all the moneys paid to witnesses.
The average annual expenditure of his
Office is about 1000, 900. He is re-
CURED to give bond of $500, 900, but is
under no special restrictions as to the
place for his deposits. These deposits
are generally kept at n national deposit
tory, or are not withdrawn from the
treasury until needed for use. The
office of the sergeant-at-arms is in itself
almost u banking house. There are
many members who keep no bank ac-
counts in Washington, but leave their
accounts solely with the sergeant-at-
arms. This custom has become general
under the administration of the person
who filled this position for the last eigh
years. Separate accounts are kept with
each member, MS in private banking
house. Their monthly pay is regularly
credited, and their drafts honored, often
when their accounts are not good. There
are many members, who would not care
to have their names known in this con-
nection, who have often received valu-
able assistance through the office of the
sergeant-at-arms. In the credit mobilier
it was shown that the ia
nous checks, with mysterious initials,
all went through the Office of the SER
geant-at-arms.
