How TO BLEED HoRsE.-Bleeding is
generally done in the jugular vein with
a broad-bladed lancet; and when the
vein is sufficiently pressed and secured,
SO as TO cause it to swell, then the point
Of the lancet is sent in with the left
hand, and, cutting upwards, makes all
the opening necessary. When sufficient
blood is taken the cut ought 70 be
squeezed together and fastened with a
pin. By pressing the vein below the
wound the blood will shoot out in a
stream and fall clear into the bucket
ready to receive it.

A DANGER OF CKLERY.-In retentive
soils celery often suffers considerably
from damp lodgings in and around the
hearts after being earthed up, and in
some places many plants are useless
from this cause. The best way We have
ever found of obviating or checking
this tendency to decay is to plant on
the surface, and blanch with ashes,
burnt earth, or old spent tan, first tying
the plants carefully up, and then pla-
cling the ashes or whatever material is
used around and among the plants and
ridge, pressing it around them with the
hands. Besides preserving the crop
from premature decay, ashes keep the
slugs and snails at distance, and dur
ing severe weather less covering will
suffice TO keep out frost.

SMOKING IN THE BARN.-''No smok-
ing" ought 10 be posted in every barn.
There is not much difference in having
a horse thief around the stable and q
man cleaning of horses with pipe or
cigar in his mouth; and there is no
hired man much meaner than the one,
who, when his employer comes around,
slips his pipe into his pocket or holds
his hand over it. All such fellows
should be paid off and started off. As
for the proprietor himself going into
the barn with pipe in his mouth, no
complaint can be made, but if his estab-
lishment burn up, nobody should cry
unless il be his wife and children.
Lightning, iucediaries and spontaneous
combustion combined do not cause as
many barns TO be burned as the pipe,
and generally, at least one good horse
goes too.

NeW E1plosire. A new explosive
agent has just been discovered by Pro-
fessor Emerson Reynolds in the labora-
tory of Trinity College, Dublin. 1t is
a mixture of rs per cent. OF chlorate of
potassium with 25 per cent. or body
called sulphurea. 1t is white powder
and can be ignited at rather lower
temperature than ordinary gunpowder,
while the effects it produces are even
more remarkable. 1t has been success
fully used in small cannon, but its dis
coverer thinks IL will be of more service
for blasting, shells, torpedOes, and like
purposes. While ordinary gunpowder
leaves about 81 per cent solid residuum
after explosion, this leaves but about 40
per cent. 1t can be produced at mo-
ment's notice by comparatively rough
mixture of the ingredients, which can
be transported and handled without
risk so long as they are separate. The
sulphurea discovered by Professor Rey-
nolds can be procured in large quanti-
ties from product of gas manufacture
which is now wasted.

Little John Boildn, the Brodd,cay Street
stoeeper.- Persons passing through
Broadway late at night may have often
seen q dIminutive figure with broom
a yard taller than himself, engaged with
the night gang in cleaning the street.
The little sweeper's name is John Boil
an, he lives at No. 539 East Eleventh
street. Next to "rom Thumb" or
COmodore Mutt, "Little Johnny" as
he is called, is perhaps the smallest man
in this country. He lives in small,
dark, rear room of big tenement
house. An old woman who occupies an
adjoining room was asked If she knew
him. "Know JOHNNY" was .he reply
"Bless me! 1 have known JohHny for
thirty years. Why, Johnny is next to
Tom Tum; you've heard tell OF Tom
Tum?" The old woman went on to re-
late numerous anecdotes about thesmall-
est man in New York, when he appear
ed in person. He came up the steps and
walked briskly into the room. He is
not more than three feet tall, but very
broad for his size. His head and neck
are out of proportion to the rest of his
body, being as large as those of a full
grown man. He was reticent at first,
but gradually became more communica-
tive. He said he was fOrty-six years old,
and was born at Ballyhochie, County
Cavan, Ireland. There he lived until
he was tweDty-One years old. In the
old country Johnny had small hoe
and spadd made for him, and content
edly raised potatoes until his parents
died and his brothers and sisters came
TO America. Deserted by all his rela-
tives, Johnny felt lonesome, and when
the ship which took them away return
ed, he went to the captain and told him
he was going to America also. The
captain advised him to stay in County
Cavan, but his resolution was taken,
and he came to New York. His small
stature was a sore trial TO him at first.
He was sensitive on the subject, and
when he ventured into the streets a
large crowd would follow him, and their
curiosity so annoyed him that In sheer
desperation he at last made his way to
his friend the captain and told him he
wanted to 90 back 10 Ireland. The cap
tain soothed his wounded feelings and
told him that when once he became
known persons would stop annoying
him. So he went back and stolidly took
no notice of the attention he attracted.
He has lived in New York nearly TWEEN
ty-five years, and for eight years has
been employed on the street-cleaning
force at full pay. "I can sweep two
piles to any of the others one" he said,
