Mining Nomenclature.

All the mining lodes are required to
be named and registered. AS the miners
have the selection of the names they
vary as greatly in character as the taste
or culture of those who christen them,
The Scotch miners, with a most COM
mendable patriotism, rarely deviate from
some title that will commemorate their
native land. Thus they distinguish
their property as Robert Burns, Scottish
Chiefs, Mary Queen Of Scots, R0derick
Dhu, Glen Alpine, &c, and | always feel
agreeable to u S5otChman when ] know
that he has thus yielded to a noble aud
patriotic impulse. Among our natives
there always seems to be lack of con
s5tency or taste in bestowing titles on
property that may become famous for
immense production. Sometimes there
is run upon part OF the title. This
was noticcably 50 about Lake City on
waves, stars and bellies. Thus there is

CIsTERN WATER.-In our climate, where
rain is abundant during a considerable por-
ton of the year, the water falling and slor-
ed is ample for the whole supply of the
family which that roof shelters. This wa
ter as it falls is ordinarily free from any
impurity that can affect its taste, and from
every source of serious fouling, though al
ter long continued drought it is we'll to
divert and discharge upon the surface of
the ground the first ten minutes flow of a
showcase that the impurities of The air
and the dust of the roof may be first remov-
ed. Amer this first dash, lead 10 the cistern
all that follows. Even with this precautlon
the water will be more agreeable for use if
filtered. There are numerous systems for
making filters in cisterns, but no other is
SO simple, nor so durable and satisfactory
as the separation OF that part of the cstern
from which the suetion-p pipe leads by a wall
OF brick and cement. 1t issimply necessary

about one-quarter of the area of the bottom.
sloping 1t back so as to terminate against
the side of the cstern at height of from
four to six feet. This wall should be so
well cemeDted at its joints that water can
only pass through the material of brick,
and for strength its form should be slight
ly bullying. A wall ofthis sort, measuring
say six feet at its base and rising to height
of six feet at its highest point, will trans
NIT an amount of water sufficient TO sup
ply the demand of the most constant pump
ing that any domestic use can require.

THE VOICE OF THE HEN.-No inhab-
itants of yard seem possessed of such a
variety of Repression, and so copious Ian
guage, as common poultry. Take chick
en- of four or five days old, and hold it up
to a window where there are flies, and it
will Immediately seize its prey with little
twitterings of complacency; but If you
tender it wasp or a bee, at once its note
becomes harsh, and expressive of disap-
probation and sense of danger. When a
pullet is ready 10 lay, she iniimates the
event by joyous and easy soft mole of all
the occurrences of their life, that of laying
seems TO be the most important for, no
sooner has hen disburdened herself, than
she rushes forth with a clamorous kind of
joy, which the cock and the rest of his mis-
tresses Immediately adopt. The tumult is
not confined to the family concerned, but
catches from yard to yard, and spreads TO
every homestead within hearing, till at last
the whole village is in an uproar. AS soon
as hen becomes mother, her new rela-
ton demands new language; she then
runs clucking and scudding about. and
seems agitated as If possessed. The father
of the flock has also a considerable vocabu-
larry if he finds food, he calls favorite
concubine TO partake; and if a bird of prey
passes over, with warning voice he bids
his family beware. The gallant chanticleer
has, at his command, his amorous phrases,
and his terms Of defiance. But the sound
by which be is best known, is his growing /;
by this he has been distinguished in all
ages as the countryman's clock or larum-

sions of the night. Thus the poet elegantly

THE Power OF HOMEOPATHIC MEDG-
cINEs.-Dr Darling, homeopathic physician
of Thompsonville, Conn, recently visited
a patient on Enfield street, accompanied by
his wife and infant child, whom he LETT in
tho carriage while he went in to visit his
patient, but just before he got TO the door a
frightened horse came rushing from the
hay field with horse rake attached, max
ing straight for the Doctors carriage. The
Doctor rushed out and threw his box of
medicines at the horse, which struck him
in the side of the head causing him to turn
just enough 10 escape hitting the carriage.
After this, who shall say there is no virtue
in homeopathic medicines? Had he been
one of the old school doctors and had SIM
ply thrown apreScIiption, there would have
been a different and perhaps fatal result

FARM AND PRESIDE.


II Is a great mistake to suppose that the
real purpose of agricultural colleges aud
special training schools is TO make
men. For knowledge as TO conduct
ing the ordinary operations of a farm,
there has never been better school than
the farm ITSELF But as the best house,
keepers are women who know a hundred
things beside, so the best farmers, other
things being equal, are the men who know
the most. Tho young man who supple
ments the practical knowledge gained by
actual work experiment on the farm, with
the facts and theories which course of in
struction in the branches OF science per-
tanning TO agriculture, has added TO his cap
ital as much as any man does who trains
himself for an avocation In life.
There is no reason why skilled labor
should not be considered as valuable in di-
recting the operations of a farm as 10 con.
Quoting an office, or experimenting a
workshop. Back of all legitimate success
es in life stands the man who produced
them. The equation stands thus: The man
equals the success. And this is as true of
the production of two tons Of hay where
one grew before, or the doubling of grain
crop, as Of the building of railroad or the
governing OF State.
Now, the ordinary training of farm boys
does little TO develop the man that is in
them. They get the rudiments of COM
mon education-the simplest tools of life's
workshop-a fair physical training, and
such hereditary notions of farming as the
father happens to possess. But Of the rea-
sons for things that they are called upon to
do, every week-of the application of as
certained facts to the important principles
of agriculture-of the nature Of soils and
fertilizers, and the forces of nature-of the
laws of breeding and the economy OF sci
entific management-they know what they
can "pick up" and no more.
But take boy from the farm at, say IL
years Of age, and give him three years at a
sensibly conducted school of agriculture,
and you have not only greatly increased
the chances of his staying on the farm-as
thirty per cent. more of the boys ought 10
debut you have fitted him for success.
For knowledge is power, just as surely on
the farm as at the forum-but like steam,
it must be properly directed and applied.
With some men knowledge is like the
steam that comes out of the spout of tea
kettle--diffused and useless with others it
starts the piston and whirls the great driv-
ing wheels of life. But ignorance is every
where at disadvantage. Not until our
young farmers are given the chance 10
make the most of their combined inward
and outward capacity shall we know what
splendidly endowed and forclbly-equip-
ped rural population America is capable OF
producing and maintaining Golden Rule.

MEssIs. NEwHALL SrERDTSs, Hinsdale, n. II.
Dear Sirs,-In accordance with your request have
examined re-issued Letters Patent No. 66l0, dated
Sept. II, 1875 based original patent granted to
John Gore, Brattleboro, VT, Dec a. 1882 No. 265s2.
am familiar with the construction of the machines
manufactured by your irm, at Hinsdae, n. II. Some
time since purchased an interest in the NewhAl
patents, which led me to careful investigation Of the
Newhall machine, and the inventions therein
tanned have carefully examined the re-issued pat
ent granted John Gore as Aforesaid and while have
great respect and admiration for the talent and inge
nuity displayed by my friend f. S. Renwick Of New
York. in this case, as in all Others I must say that
these claims. so far your machine is concerned
cannot be maintained; and my advice to you both as
solicitor Of patents and manufacturer Of moving
machines, is to issue circular to every person who
wishes TO buy OF your machines, stating that you
will guarantee them against any and all damages
which they may incur by reason Of any violation Of
the patented rights Of Mr.. John Gore or Mr.. &. NJ.
Waite.
The circular you sent me headed "New England
Mower, fails to state that the date Of the reissue No.
GGiO, was Sept, 1875. Even allowing the absurd Do
stiOn that this reissue is tenAble one there can be
pretence Of any claim against you or your custom
ers for the violation of the Gore patent except the
year 1916, and thereafter.
Yours respectfully,

GREAsINa AXLEs.-On the authority OF
The Carriage Monthly, more injury is done
TO carriages and wagons by greasing too
much than the reverse. Tallow is the best
lubricant for wood a1les, and caster oil for
iron. Lard and common grease are apt to
penetrate the hub, and work their way out
around the lemons of the spokes and spoil
the wheel. For common wood axles, Just
enough grease should be applied to the
spindle to give it light coating. To oil an
iron axle, first wipe clean with cloth wet
with turpentine, and then apply a few
drops Of castor oil near the shoulder and
end. One tea-spoonful is enough for the
four wheels. Carriages are sometimes oiled

If Mcssrs. Gore and Waite have any claims for in
frnpement Of patents, We frankly say TO them that
hold ourselves responsible for the same, to be
tried before the courts in manly way; that

chase Of us. We do not consider IL manly TO issue
circulars to Brighten purchasers who ignorant Of
the patent laws, and propose to stand by
toners. We do not propose TO violate the rights Of
anybody, neither do we propose TO have our own
rights violated
We have been manufacturing moving machines for
the last fifteen years. We have lived ON terms Of re-
ciprOcity and good feeling with our brother mAnufac
turers in the same line during all this time We take
pride in saying that the largest manufacturers in the
country have shown themselves to be friends and
when they wished to acquire right in inventions
have come promptly forward and paid us for the
same, and we feel confidence in saying that have
never violated the confidence good feeling Of our
brother manufacturers.
We certain that all our customers among the
farmers are ready to say good word for TO the
performance Of our machines in the field.
We, therefore, are ready to meet any legitimate
prosecution in the courts for alleged iufrnge of
