4 FACT WORTH KNowixc.-Set a
pitcher of ice water in room inhab-
tied, and in few hours it will have
absorbed nearly all the perspiration
gases of the room, the air of which
will have become purcr, but the water
utterly filthy. This depends upon the
fact that water has the faculty uf CON
dcnsing and thereby absorbing nearly
all the gases. At ordinary tempera-
ture, a pint of water will contain a
pint of car b mic acid gas aud several
pinis of ammonia. The capacity is
nearly doubled by reducing the tenn
pcrature to that of ice. Hence water
kept in room awhile, is always unfit
Tor use, and should be often removed
whether it has become warm or not.
And for the same reason the water in
a pump should be pumped out in the
morning before any is used. That
which has stood in pitcher over
night is not fit for coffee-water in the
morning. Impure water is as injuri-
GUS to health as impure air, and every
person should provide the means of
obtaining fresh, pure water for all do
nestle uses.

LETTER FROM PLECERv1LLE.
PLAcERyILLE, March q. =

AANs1<tAf lAiAtn, 1fltii III
En- World The snow is disap-
pearing very fast, and moss all Of the
placer mines have heen set III opera
ton. The Granite Greek Ditch Com.
pany succeeded in getting water
through their ditch last Tuesday, and
all claims to be supplied by it will
commence operations Immediately.
Danskin n Co., on Canyon creek,
Will commence mining on next Tues
day, and | am informed that the Fall
Creek Company will start on next
Monday. This is rather early for
those claims, as they are on very
high mountain Some of the Fall
creek people who have been wintering
here contemplate returning to their
mountain homes shortly.
As spring has opened rather early,
with a good supply Of snow on the
mountains, | think the mining season
will be an unusually long one.
Mr.. Coughanour informs me that he
has suspended operations in the Gold
Hill mine until the shaft is completed
which will require some time. Quite
an accident happened with the boiler
IN the hosting works, by hole being
burned through the furnace.
Foley Abbott says that Garden Val
ley has assumed a beauti al green, aud
many Of the farmers are engaged in
putting III their crops, while others
are preparing to commence soon. He
also tells me that the ,;rist mill cues

A RIVAL TO THE sEA-sERpENr.
From the New York Tribune

The sea-serpent has a rival. It's /
land animal; an animal as large, a.
faptastic, and ascusive as the cele
brated monster of the sea, and a
least twice as mysterious.
The M;nhocao is the new wonder
a very slight change in its name
might have prejudiced the wore
against it; as, for Instance, if it llac
been baptized minloaxo. 1t is wei
fathered in the realmot science, being
brought to notice by one Fitz Muller
Of Brazil, in the ZoologiSche Ga,9ea
and receiving a full page of large
type in recent number Of the Ma
ture. The minhocao is beloved to be a
resident of the region Of South Amer
lea where the Uruguay and Parana
rivers have their sources. The animal
is said by different observers to have
the following characteristics: 1t is
worm.shaped; about eighty.two feet
long (by guess and more than a yard
in thickness; mot very long" Iowev-
er, according to another account; two
horns on tho head; a Snout like pig.
a less definite description makes the
animal "as big as house." and meas.
urement Of the tracks indicates its
possible width at six and half to ten
feet. Some years ago, it is said, there
was a dead miuhocao 'wedged in the
cleft OF a rcck near Arapehy, Uruguay;
It's skin was as thick as the bark of a
pine tree, and formed of hard scales
like those of the armadillo
The new animal is, however chiefly
known Iy his works Great trenches
are found in this region, whicha are
supposed t. be the evidence Of tln
mlnhocao's industry. Heaps of earth
are turned up in the process. and
where pine trees, stand in the way ol
the trench, they are rooted up, and
sometimes part Of their bark and
wood may be torn of. The devasta
ton OF this performance, which is
chiefly near or under the surface of the
earth, Though often under the bed of a
stream, is enormous In one case the
entire side of hill was undermined

1t will be noticed that the new as. |

hear of a scientific expedition to Urn.
quay in search of the minhocao.
Whether it will be found like a ccrato

1t Is yet too soon to guess; possibly
when uneartbed it will be rec ,guizcd
as the descendant of one of the ri
gantic armadilos that certainly dwell
in South America during the reptlliau

men get money. But such things are
disapproved of, being dishonest and dis
loyal. So is he who desecrates the Sab
bath in any way, by unnecessary labor.
He is not honest with his Maker, nor
himself, and is a law breaker. Charac-
ter is at stake here, and there is no
knowing how much more is made in the
due and proper observance Of the Sab
bath. There are factories that are do
ing a successful BUSINESS by running
six days in the week, and there are many
dairymen that keep their milk at home
on the Sabbath, and their testimony is,
that it is equally as profitable and at
tended with less labor. But money is
no argument here, if it was it would OPP
en- all kinds of business on the Lords
day, and We should know no Sabbath.
There are principles introduced that are
worth far more than money. Observa-
ton shows hat it tends to wreck of
character, and profigy hat precursors
ruin. One thing is certain, that chris
tianity is at stake here, and that no one
can maintain his fidelity to his God, and
carry his milk to the factory on the
Sabbath. Will dairying business pay?
| answer yes, decidedly, if we will be
honest to God and to each other, there
is big pay in it. N. SHAPLEY.

FLAX SEED.
Ita Advantages a. a Crop.


l. 1t is the best preparation for a
wheat crop, insuring from three to six
bushels more per acre following flax
than when sown in succession. The
same is true of oats, barley or corn. No
cash outlay for seed, three pecks per
acre, costing less than half as much as
with wheat.
2. 1t affords a good relief from the
one crop" system. 1t pays ordinarily
as well as other crops and some seasons
much better; have v known a fail
ure in Flax.
3. Nothing is better than Flax with
which to seed down to timothy or clover.
4. Flax comes off from ten days to
two weeks before wheat is ready to cut.
No fear from chintz bugs.
5. IF cut at the right time, can be
harvested as cheap as a crop of hay, and
secured from rain. The straw and chaf
are eagerly eaten by stock, and are fully
worth an equal weight of good hay.
