KEEPING SWEET PoTAToEs.-It is a
a matter of importance TO every farmer
TO know how to keep sweet potatoes
through the winter. This is easily
done. and without much much expense
or trouble. The best way we have ever
seen them put up is TO have a quantity
of perfectly dry sand, and if you use a
cellar put down first layer of sand,
then layer of potatoes, then of sand,
then potatoes, eTc., until they are all
put up. Or if you have no cellar and
wish TO use the old-fashioned "bank, !"
or "hill," pursue the same course, and
then cover them deep enough to keep
them from freezing, and yet not so deep
as TO make them too hot. When put up
in this way the dry sand absorbs all the
excessive moisture of the potatoes, and
keeps them dry and good for an indefi-
mite length OF time. Ii the sand, how
ever, is wet or even moist, the potatoes
will rot. We have known them kept
on this plan for several years at time.
1t is proper TO remark that potatoes
when dug should not be in a growing
condition. If they are, they are imper
feet like unripe fruit, and in conse-
q1enee of their sappiness, it is almost
impossible TO put them up in any way
so that they will keep sound.

Il Frenchnaon is to be credited with a
discovery that when mortar is likely to
peel on, the tendency can bs prevented
by substituting sawdust for hair in the
original mixture. He had previously
tried in vain to make mortar that would
stay in place on a building exposed TO
damp winds near the sea shore. After
frequently renewing the mortar in the
old way. he tried the use of sawdust I'm
place OF hair, and was quite successful
The sawdust had been thoroughly dried
and its coar-er portions were removed by
sitting. The experiment is well worth
trying in this country, where sawdust
is very much cheaper than hair, even i'm
chignons.

In the early days of the temperance
reform in this country, great deal
used to be said on the the subject of
moderate drinking" But the total
abstinence advocates got the best of the
discussion, because their opponents did
not agree as to what constituted modera-
tion. A strong movement in the tenn
perance cause has been for some time
past under way in Great Britain, and
the debate is largely carried on in the
newspapers. DIR. Wilson, the British
medical officer of health, has recently
offered what may be called a scientific
definition of moderate drinking. 1t is
given at the close of long essay on
means of preserving personal health,
and is Immediately preceded by state
ment that the tendency of scientific
opinion is toward the view that it is
unnecessary for people in health-es-
pecially for young people and children
to use stimulants at all. But there
are many who do use them in what may
be termed moderation, and without ap
parent injury to health. The limit of
this supposed safe use, is laid down as
follows: IL flHid ounces of alcohol
per day; which is equivalent to %
pints of weak table beer, or IL pints OF
stronger beer, or porter, or q of pint
OF light French claret er.burgundy, or
~ fluid ounces of port or sherry, OF 3
fluid ounces of SPIRITS. Excess beyond
this limit is denounced as sure to entail
disordered health. To most Americans
the allowance will seem abundantly
liberal.

KIND WORDS.

Oh, mildly speak. oh. gently breathe
One little word OF kindness;
You know not where thst word may fall
To tighten human blindness
The world is large. time flies space.
Let hand and heart together
Bind in firm bonds the human race
In love and peace forever.
Some stricken heart bowed down by grief.
Some child OF sin or sorrow
Nav listen TO that kindly word
And ris to heaven tomorrow.

IUestlgds0ns on the Gastric ,uice.-M
Richet, according 10 Repertoire de Phdr-
mdcie, has been enabled TO institute Il
series of experiments on this subject
under singularly favorable circum-
stances. A young man came before him
on whom, In consequence of incurable
structure of the Hsophagus, gastrotomy
had been performed, aud permanent
gastriclistula has been established. The
esophagal structure being complete.
swallowing was OF course impossible, so
NJ. Richet was enabled 10 procure the
gastric juice without any admixture OF
saliva. He finds the average proper
tion of hydrochloric acid 10 amount to
OH per cent, the proportion being in
creased by wine and alcohol, but
diminished by sugar. The ingestion OF
acids or alkalies made little difference.
AS the normal proportion was soon re-
stored. The acidity of the gastric juice
as increased during the process of uIges-
tion, especially towards its close. The
sensations of hunger and thirst are in
ho way associated either with gastric
acidity or with the state OF the stomach
as TO emptiness or repletion. Ordinary
kinds OF food occupy three TO four
hours in digestion; but milk takes only
half this time, while all traces of water
or alcohol disappear from the stomach
in about three quarters of an hour. NJ.
Richet has availed himself of this favor
able opportunity for the purpose OF in-
vestigaIing the nature of the free acid
in the stomach, and hopes shortly to
publish his researches on this subject.

sew the openings together, and empty

Saste both openings, and, when the tick

RoBBING A TRAlN.-A feat of boldness
and daring rivalling any Of the deeds Of
Italian brigandage was performed on the
Union Pacific Rnilroad on the 18th inst.
\ band Of twelve or aileen armed men,
mounted on horses rode up to the station
at Big Spring. Capturing the agent at
the station, they proceeded to cut the tel
egraph wire and destroy the instrument.
They then compelled the agent to show n
red light to stop tie express train, which
Otherwise would have gone by without
stopping. The red light was shown, and
when the train stopped in consequence, it
was boarded BY The robbers who proceed
I'd TO plunder the safes of the Express
company, and the passengers. From the
safes they obtained $4,000 The amount
obtained from passengers is not known.
The large safe which can only be opened
by those knowing the bnstion, which
is probably not intrusted to Tie mcsseng-
ers in charge was not disturbed though
il the robbers had not been disturbed by
the arrival of freight train they might
have attacked that also. 1t contained a
large amount Of treasure. After wcttine
down the fire under tho boilers the rob
