FROM BLONDE TO BRUNETTE.
h Phenomenal Change that was Effect
ed by Lightning.

wy
Chicago Tribune. July 20.
Seldom has the electric fluid done a moie
curious thing than on yesterday morning
at 3 o'clock, at the residence OF II | Guild.
Mr.. Guild and his wife were %. cupying Il
bedroom in the S cond story, and Lo't,. Il
bright faced child Of tour v.;iis Of aye. with
golden Girls, occupied a double cot on II e
first l)or, in company with her grand-
mother, Mrs. j. j.. Ames, aged about fifty
years. This co, was placed under the open
ing of The main ilus Of the chimney. The
first recollection that MIR. Guild has of the
situation was that he was on the flo r
of his bedroom with his wife clinging 10

light and at first glance discovered that the
patches of p!astering in the ceiling of his
room and In the rooms adjoining were hang
ing. The shingles in the vicinity of the
chimney were torn up. He then CONCLUDED
that lightning had done the work. The
next thought was of the grandmother and
his daughter, Lol'ie, below. Upon arriv-
ing in their room, The little innocent, her
fsce, hcih o! curl>. and ha"us black with
the S'ot ct the fire, cnmm"nce,i to clap her

Who WAS Il 80 hlack-ue,l with suMl Upuh
txam'na iu:, Nrs. Ames was found t tie in
an instns,b.e cnl.dltinp, and a doctor was
summoned He applied remedies.
The child told the story OF how the fire
came down the chimney, and knocked her
self aud "grsmma' from the Cot to the il)o-.
The child was then subjected to II severe
bath, and then was discovered the most re-
markable feature Of the whole affair. The
profusion Of curls, which were of unusual
length, reaching almost to the chlld's waist,
and which had been'6fa bright golden hue,
were of Il blue black or inky color from the
roots to the tip. A closer examination re-
vcalcd the still further singular fact that
the scalp of the head Was also colored, in
delibly it seemed the same as the hair. Up
to 6 o'clock on yesterday afternoon. after a
larse of fifteen hours, and after repeated
washings with ammonia and other solu-
tons, every hair remained the same shade as
when the change was first noticed, and so
with the scalp Of the head.
The physician said that the remarkable
change might have been the result Of cleo.
tricity, but beyond this he did not venture
an explanation. He had heard of n or
two instances like it. The vitality of the
hair Gid not seem 10 be destroyed, forit was
Still as soft as silken skeins. The child
seems as lively Us a cricket, and rather
pleased than otherwise with the su lden
transformation from o blonde to a brunette
without cost.

Large Bunches of Grapes.

There is some noise being made in
our eastern and English exchanges
about heavy punches of grapes. We
have no doubt California could weigh
them all down if the effort were made.
At the last mechanics fair in this city
Mr. Blowers showed bunch of EN-
peror grapes which weighed twenty
five pounds, and made no special eff
fort about it, either. There was one
shown in this city last summer which
weighed 125 pounds, but it was an ar
tificial affair, made by Interviewing q
number of branches. That which is
said to be the "heaviest bunch of black
grapes ever known" has recently been
on exhibition in Dublin, as we learn
from the Gardeners Chronicle of Lon
don. The variety is Gros Guillaume,
and the grower, Mr. Roberts, gardener
to the Countess of Charleville, Charlie
vile Forest, Tullamore, Kings coun-
ty. Its weight is % pounds ounces;
its length IA inches It's width across
the shoulders % 1-2 inches; and in
point of bloom, size of berries, and
general finish, it is described as all that
could be desired. This bunch stands
third on the list of heaviest punches
irrespective of color), being two
pounds Is ounces less in weight than
the Raisin de Clabre, (26 pounds four
shown by Mr.. Curror at Ed
nburg, in September, 1875, and two
pounds five ounces less than the White |
Nice (25 ponds Is ounces) shown by |
Mr.. Dickson, of Arkleton, at the same
ime and place.-N. Y. Tribune.

Forest Planting.

Forest planting h as become neces-
sity in some countries in consequence
of the scarcity Of timber, the reduc-
ton of the volume of water in rivers,
the drying up of springs, the inunda-
ton caused by the unchecked flow of
pluyial torrents from the mountain
slopes, and the deleterious changes in
climates from the cutting down of
woods. Cities whose streets are plant
ed with trees are much healthier than
those withoul them, and there is even
difference in the salubrity of the at
mosphere in sections of the same city
from similar cause. In France, Italy.
Greece, Germany, Austria, England,
and the colonies in Australia and New
Zealand, the government has underta-
ken a systematic replanting of the for

Rhubarb--Asparagus,

Rhubarb deserves special place, the
richest place you can find, or else give
it free after manuring, for it pays best
when best fed. The roots should be
planted about three feet apart, one or
two crowns in place.
Without asparagus our gardens
would not be model one, so that fine
early vegetable must have place. If
the roots be at hand let them be set
out in rows about two feet apart one
way by one and half the other. If
seed be sown, SOW the same in rows,
fifteen inches apart about ten to the
foot, and transplant as above at one to
two years. growth. These constitute
the more permanent things of the gar
den, and will only require replanting
occasionally.

from 10 to 20 cents each. There are
several good kinds left out because
they ripen with other kinds that are
nearly like them. The apricot ripens
just before the earliest peaches, and
pays well. They are not SO hardy and
reliable as the peach. AS time advan-
ces varieties of fruits seem to change;
some kind that stood at the head of
the list 10 or II years ago, are now
left out and their places filled by 9th
ers that were then discarded. We
have a great many new kinds of peach
es on probation, but they are mostly
high, and likely some of them will
prove worthless.

Rotation Of Crors.

The next crop after corn may be po-
tatoes, barley or oats, and in the fall
put in winter wheat and seed down to
timothy and SOW the clover seed in the
spring, in March, while the surface of
the soil freezes at night and thaws by
day, which opens the soil and lets the
clover seed into the numerous little
cracks. Another way is to SOW the
clover seed in April and run fne-
toothed harrow over the land both
ways. If the soil is light, the harrow
ing will benefit the wheat, eradicate
the weeds and cover the clover seeds.
But this rotation requires an applica-
ton of manure to each crop in order
to produce good, paying crops, as
general rule.

Feed Of Cows Before oslvins.

The period of CESSATION is one that
makes large drafts upon the vitality of
the ANIMALS system. The COW has
just finished period of heavy drain
upon her system, in yielding large
quantities of milk, and if good milk
er, is likely to be thin in flesh. Now,
she must recover from exhaustion, and
lay ON her normal quantity of flesh,
besides supporting the new life with
in her. Does not the plainest common
sense show that she should have gen.
erous ration? The fever, impaction
of the manifolds, ETC., mentioned, are
the result of feeding too much dry, i'm
nutritious food. The natural food OF
the COW is soft, succulent grass. She
is usually put upon dry hay and straw,
with no laxative element in the ration.
If she were fed a small quantity OF tur-
nips, carrots, beets, ETC., during the
winter or non-milking season, she
wonld be 70 more liable to disease in
winter than in summer. We have Of
ten recommended wheat, bran, or oil
meal, as good substitute for roots.
Every COW should be fed, when roots
are not te be had, pint of oil cake or
oil meal per day. 1t is really injudi-
cious feeding, or, not good feeding,
that makes trouble with cows at the
time Of calving. And now, let us say
TO that large and constantly increasing
class Of western dairymen that they
should not allow the oil cake pro-
duced in their own region to be sent
to Europe to enrich its soil, when il is
worth more than the price it brings to
feed at home. All the flesh the COW
can lay during the period OF. going dry
becomes a stock to draw on during the
coming milking season. We should
recommend highly fattening food,
such as Indian corn, to be fed largely
to dry cows. There is large demand
for muscle-forming food, such as oats,
bran, oil cake, clover hay, etc. The
greater the variety the better. Mr..
Boles, of Marengo, Illinois, has adopt
ed half corn aud half oats, ground to-
gether, as his general grain ration for
cows, and this is good one.-Nation-
