Spontaneous, 4 snitiom of Ray.

A case of what seemed to be spoptan
eous combustion in a hay-mow occurred
at North Amherst, Mass, in July last,
and the questions are asked, Are such &C.
currences possible, and if so are they FIRE.
quent? Without doubt it is possible fol
hay to ignite spontaneously, but it does
not often occur. When last in England
we remember to have passed,in travelling,
farmers premises where the hay-ricks
had been burned the night before from
spontaneous combustion, as alleged. That
hay may thus ignite, the onditions must
be quite unusual. Well cured, dry hay
is always safe, but that which is imper-
fectly cured or which has been exposed
to rain, may become so intensely heated
as to char, and ultimately to ignite.
Combustion is an oxidizing process, and
when the carbon and hydrogen of the
hay are in condition to attract oxygen
rapidly, the temperature may reach the
point whence flames must spring up, and
then the work Of destruction goes on
rapidly. Whilst the danger Of spontane-
Gus combustion of hay is NOT great, still
it is possible, and hence care should be
observed in curing ard storing it.

THE FARM AND HOUSE.

! From sunfower seeds is expressed q
palatable, clear and favorless oil, the
demand for which in Russia is very great
It is exported from st. Petersburg al
about $50 per gross ton, and is said to be
extensively used, like cotton-seed oil,
after purifying, for adulterating olive or
salad oil. A considerable quantity is
grown in Russia for oil pressing; the
plant being largely cultivated in Keels
and Podalia, also eastward on the black
soil lands, the stalks being used for fuel.
During the last twenty years the prac-
tice Of luxurious self-indulgence has
crept on apace. Splendor and spending
are still the order Of the day, and house
holds vie with each other in the race of
ostentation. Extravaganza, not economy,
is the standard of domestic happiness at
present in fashion. 1t is not girls
ideal, when she marries, that she should
stay at home; hut, on the CONTRARY, that
she should leave it perpetually. In a
word, if you get atthe herat of great
many girls, you discover that their ideal

fatality and malignitv have been largely
determined by the condition Of the air

result Of their own Incidence and slovenli-
ness.

journal thus tells it., -. .-.I-'.-
An incident occurred during the down
trip Of the steamer D. NJ. Wilson, las
week, which is worth : place in history.
IL is customary for this vessel, on her up
ward trip, to leave portion Of her fue
at Wilson's Dock, on Che Sault River; tc
be taken aboard again after she had
passed the canal locks, on her return
from Marquette .~
She had finished taking ON coal, and al
hands had turned in to wait for daylight
leaving solitary Waterman in charge OF
the deck. Matters being quiet, that
worthy had removed all Of his upper gar.
ments, and was taking a bath.

recognized a familiar old Newfoundl LAND
dog, who had long been a member OF
the household at the landing. "Well

There was little sleep on steamer OF

across from the Canadian side the day
previously.

1t matters somewhat whether Young
lady's uncle is a millionaire or mission
airy If her lovers constacy is in question
A German officer who was suffering from
wounds received during the war with
France, was recently sent to village in
the Swiss Canton of Vaud to recruit his
strength. There he,made the acquaintance
ota young lady whose parents reside in the
same village and the couple became en-
gagged. Owing to the mildness of the eli
mate the hero soon regained his health,
and before long an order arrived from
headquarters desiring him to report him.
self within week at Berlin. At first his
letters were filled with protestations of the
enduring nature OF his love, but gradual
~ as time wore Oh, they became less ire
quent and much colder in tone. Six
weeks had elapsed since he had last writ
ten, when Instead Of a letter full of re-
proaches, the Lieutenant received tele-
gram from his dear Marie, in the following
words: "Dear Fritz: have just received
a letter informing me that my uncle, who
was millionaire ct Frankbar in the East
Indies, is dead, and that am his sole
heiress." The lieutenant lost no time.
He set out for the village. The young
lady was overwhelmed with JOY on seeing
her lover once more, but reproached him
for his long silence. Don't let US talk Of
it, dear Marie" he replied: "there is now
no obstacle to our union. The unexpe Ct
ed good fortune which Providence has
sent US has removed the objections of my
parents to our marriage, for fortune so
great, so Colossal" At these words,
Marie took his hand, said: Fritz, do noe
make fun Of me-" The lover drew out of
his pocket the telegram, asking her
whether she had not written the words,
my uncle has just died a millionaire at
Frankbar." Utterly astonished, Marie
dropped his hand, and her eyes filing
with tears, exclaimed, Dear Fritz, there
is mistake in the telegram. What wrote
was: MY uncle has just died-a E,i:s sion
slre in the East Indies, and the amount
ne has left me is 1876 francs As centimes.' y
