America neads

The correspondent of the Chicago Jour
nal of Commerce, writing from the Paris
Exposition says:
In book-printing, the United States has
made its way independently. AS regards
he building of presses, of which there are
Sveral exhibits, stereotype, type-casting,
stc., America has paid off the debt it owed
It's mother country with interest, and the
after has frequently adopted the invention
Of It's offspring. 1t is necessary only to
mention the large printing-presses, for
newspapers, with cylindrical stereotype
plates, and, more recently, those for end
isss web, as well as automatic machines
ior type-casting. On account of the great
extent f tSa newspaper and job printing
business IN North America, inventions and
improvements concentrate almost exclu-
sively upon such arrangements as m@J as
sist these branches. Ma country can pro.

and German type-foundries are in fire.

A Watertown (New York; youth en-.
gagged himself to two young ladies, which
fact happened to come to the knowledge
of one of the families interested. At his
next call he was confronted by an irate
papa and ordered to marry the girl then
and there, under penalty of being shot if
he refused The Young man was only too
happy to do the old gentleman the favor
He said he would just as soon marry the
girl as not, but would first like to get
shaved so as to look respectfully. The
old gentleman went out to fetch minis
ter, and the bridegroom vas allowed to
60 out for shave, The minister and his
guide re.uraea and waited for the young
nan. Waited anxiously and j.. vain, for
he had hired buggy, driven to the sta
ton, and taken the frSt train for New
York. 1t was close shave.

A Race of Migrants.

The countless dogs of ConstantinOple
are under the protection of the general
public, but, being pronounced unclean
animals by the Koran, are not allowed to
enter the Turkish houses, and are conse-
quently without masters. They, there
fore, form ? great free yagahand republic,
collarless, nameleSs houseless and lawless.
The street is their abode there they dig
little dens, where they sleep, eat, are born,
brought up, and die; and no one, at least
in Stamboul, ever thinks of disturbing
their occupations or their repoga. They
are masters Of the public highways. In
cur cities it is the dog that makes way
Tor the horseman or foot passenger There
it Is the people, the hprses, the eameis,
the donkeys, that make way for the dogs.
They are lazy animals, and sleep most OF
the time; neither rain, snow, heat nor
cold disturbs them. They wake when
they are hungry, not before. and sleep -.

wards. Every quarter, every street is in
habited or rather possessed by certain

1.-The Strength of the OK

1t was an old farmer who wrote, for the
American Cultivator," this suggestive
little lay sermon, on Proverbs IA, A.:
"Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; but
much increase is by the strength of the
OK
On few of the many "run down" farms
do we find many oxen; and, in fact, the
whole barn, clean of food for man and
beast. The great mistake of abandoning
the use of oxen on our rough New England
farms has started decline, which has f.
nally compelled the owner toskeep less
number of other cattle, soon reducing the
fertility Of his farm to a very low ebb.
Substituting horses for oxen has not proved
a success it costs much more to harness
horses for farm work than oxen, and more
to keep them. Horses soon depreciate in
value with age, and become total loss,
while the OK may be put to work lightly
at two years of age, and pay his way until
he is Of mature age, when his carcass is
valuable for food, If properly cared for,
the market value Of the OK does not depre-
ciate with age. while if any ordinary acct
dent befalls him, he may be converted in
to beef at once without loss. Far different
is the case with the horse; for it an ACCT
dent befalls HIM he is dead loss to his
owner
There are still some old-fashioned far
mers who have adhered to the old way.
and have kept large ox-teams. In such
places we find as Solomon says, much in
crease. Such farms carry large stocks OF
cattle, and the barns overflow with plenty,
If the worn -out farms Of the East are ever
redeemed and made productive, it must be
through making them carry more stock,
and the recuperatlon must commence by
keeping oxen. The high pressure system
Of the modern Yankee, despislng the pa
tent OK for his servant, has run him into
dead calm of stagnant waters, from
which our pushing friend cannot emerge
without at once reversing his course, and
coming back to first principles. The sooner
the average farmer becomes convinced of
this departure from the true path of pros
perity, and again uses oxen in the place of
horse teams, the sooner he will cease to
talk of hard times, Ii

A Cubic Mile How Much Is It?

A German geographical mile is equal to
four and three-ffths English miles
which must be considered, in reading the
following estimates of the naturalist
Bernstein but even with this knowledge
his calculations are sufficiently astonish-
ing. Herr Bernstein wishes us to get an
adequate idea Of the magnitude. of space
by which we are surrounded, and so calls
attention to the dimensions of one single
cubic mile geographically. of which the
EARTH, the smallest star of the universe,
contains 1852 ,OoO,o 900! But we will let the
professor tell it in his own amusing way.
He writes from Berlin:
Let any one imagine chest to be:a Gu
bic mile in dimensions, and try to get to-
gether enough material to fill it. He will
then have some idea of the vast space en-
closed within it. Begin at Berlin, if you
please, where we stand, and toss in the
whole city as if it were box of children's
toys, and from here on to Potsdam and do
the same, but secure all the villages on the
road. for we shall need them. The floor
not being covered yet, we will have Paris
with it's monuments and churches, for
which we need not break off a single stee-
pie. From thereto. London. which ought
to do something for US. and then to Wen
ma, which must be followed by st. Peters
burg, for the sake of peace. All this stuff
lies still on the floor. and we may as well
proceed rapidly in the same way with all
Europe, gathering in all castles, fortresses
and dwellings that we can find. Next the
seas might be skinned for any ships that
floats, but as this does not help much, we
must beg from the New World Americas
factories and railroads, and from the old
world even the pyramids of Egypt, for
which we shall have ample room. Not all
Asia, Africa, Australia, and America,
however, seem to be able to give us half
what we want, and as it will not do to give
up the task without exhausting every
means, we will shake the things little
closer together to make them level, and try
what people will do for us.
One row of people will require 1000 per-
sons, and 1000 rows make one layer of
forty eight millions. just enough for the
North Americans! That these may be
comfortable, we will make them bed
thirty feet thick, of straw and leaves, all
in fact that the earth affords, and put be-
tween the rows. The second layer shall
be formed by putting three million Aus
tralians and forty five million Asiatics on
top of the Americans, which leaves 800
millions more Asiatics to begin the next
layer; and we proceed with the packing
until the rest of mankind are slowed away
1 400 millions together. and making
some thirty layers. We find the chest by
this time to be about half full, and to COM
plete the undertaking we should need
nearly fifteen times as many people. What
shall we do? Take animals? But even if
we do finish with the whole animated
kingdom we cannot complete the task we
have set ourselves
Yet we only ask cubic mile of materi-
al from a world which contains 1851 mil

LEAVES FOR WREATHs OR BASKETS.
We know of no nicer plan than to gath

too hot), until they are dry. If not quite
dry enough they will be brittle. Press
them well-just sufficiently! After al,
this done get your little brush-a camel's

ed with pretty green moss and filed with
bright leaves, put in tumblesomezy, would
be little heart-rest all winter long. If
you have pretty wild moss you can pull it
insshreds, wash. dry and dye it your
selves (using green analine dye); but
the easiest way would be to send ten
cents to a first-class florist and ask him to
send little package by mail.

A FORMULA FOR CANNING CORN
Two large teaspoons of tartaric acid, two
pints of water to one gallon of corn: re-
move the corn from the cob; dissolve the
acid in the water, which should be boiling.
and pour over the corn. Stir often, and
cook ten minutes. Then can in new tin
cans. When preparing your corn for the
table, add one teaspoon of soda and two
of white sugar. Boil one half hour, and
then season the same as green corn.
SALT will curdle new milk; hence in
preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc., the
salt should not be added until the dish is
prepared.
