When the communists of Paris
mobbed the residence of Theirs, they
carried away his bronzes and curiosi-
ties, which were sold to dealers. The po-
lice subsequently seized, wherever they
found them, articles bearing the private
mark of Theirs. Which he caused to be
engraved or stamped upon his articles of
virtu. To his surprise, he found many
ornaments brought to him bearing this
mark, which he had never owned. The
dealers had counterfeited the mark,
and preferred to be robbed rather than
confess the trick.
Tie French mode of killing poultry,
causing instant death, and perfect
bleeding without Disagreement, is ac-
conplished by opening the beak of the
fowl, and with sharp pointed and
narrow bladed knife, making an incis-
ion at the back of the roof of the
mouth, which will divide the yertebr8
and cause immediate death, after
which the fowls are hung up by the
legs till bled. They are then nicked
while warm, and, if desired, without
scalding. In this way the skin presents
amore natural appearance than when
scalded.
The days of playful ehickenhood are
numbered. The chicken-hatching ma
chine, the chicken-food cramming ma
chine, and now the hydronaere, the
mother hen, are two inventions that
are causing the innocent joys of chick
enhood to vanish. This hydIOmere is an
artificial mother hen for the chickens to
brood under at night, and fly to in mo-
ments of peril during the day. The ky-
droDleTe is French invention, and
stTikingly resembles a real hen in all
but one particular, viz: Beneath its
downy breast, instead Of warm teart,
there is only warm water.
This accounts for the origin of bread.
a tradition relating to Adam and Eve
has some points not before explained
so clearly as therein. Adam grieved
over the death of Abel, and looked
downward, never lifting his eyes even
at the face of his wife Eve So God
pitied his case, and as a consolation
sent the angel Gabriel, who taught
Adam how to make and eat bread
from wheat. AT the first the kernels
were as large as ostrich eggs. After
the deluge they shrank to the size of
goose eggs, and in the days of Solomon
they were no larger than grapes The
present size, but little larger than mus
tard seed, is probably owing to the do
minatian of the Turks, who cast a
blight on man, beast and vegetation
everywhere they go. Adam taught
his wife Eve the art of making bread,
and since then women have turned the
mill and heated the oven in every true
believers house..
A correspondent of scientific jour.
nal says: "There is a method which 1
have adopted in my own mouse to cool
the temperature of any room during hot |
weather, and .-aL is TO hang sheet or |
blanket down outside an open WIN |
low upon which the sun may be shin
ing. This sheet is wet, and the evapo-
ration Of the water produces delicious
ly cool apartment. This sheet is kept |
damp by having vessel filled with
water above the top of it outside, and a
piece of flannel arranged to form 81
phon, and touching several portions of
the sheet. The water gradually emp
ties out of the vessel, and may be re-
plenished if necessary"
French farmers declare the Calsntine-
Norman breed of cattle to produce the
best mixers in the world. The COWS of
this breed, it is claimed, give upon an
average twenty quarts day: some as
much as thirty to thirty-five quarts
daily, and it is from their milk the cele-
brated butter coming from Isigny and
Tournay is made, also the far-famed |
Camembert, Neufchatel and Leveret
cheeses. This breed is also notable for
the excellence of its meat. The breed
ers of this region are so fond of their
cattle that they have resisted all the
efforts of the government and outside
influence to introduce an admixture Of
Short-horn blood.
The invention of bells is attributed
to Polonius. Bishop of Nola Campania,
about the year 400. They were first in
troduced into churches as a defence
against thunder and lightning. They
were first put up in Croyland Abbey,
Lincolnshire, in 9i5. In the eleventh
century, and later, ii was the custom to
baptize them in the churches before
they were used. The curfew bell was
established in 107S. 1t wasrung at eight
in the evening, when people were
obliged to put out their fires and can
dies. The custom was abolished in HOO.
Bellmen were appointed in London in
1856, to ring the bells at night, and cry
out: Take care of your fire and can
die; be charitable to the poor, and pray
for the dead"
Cows should never be allowed to
drink stagnant water. 1t is impossible
for COW to drink impure water and
produce pure and healthy milk from it.
Prof. Low of Cornell University found
by microscopic examination of the milk
of COWS that drank stagnant water, that
che milk contained living organisms,
similar to those found in the water
they drank. Prof. Arnold says, 'that
a cows drinking stagnaDt water has
been known to cause her milk to coagu-
late in four hours, at temperature of
seventy degrees, and when raised to
ninety degrees it would coagulate at
once" There are instances where
typhoid fever has been communicated
by milk given by COWS which had drank
foul water containing the typhoid poi
son. These facts should be sufficient
to cause farmers to be exceedingly care
full to furnish their cows with pure
water for drinking purposes.
Anna c. Bracket, in the American
Journal of education, calls the attention
of teachers TO the liability of children
