German Cigars.

In connection with Prince Bismarck
tobacco project, a celebrated botanist,
Herr Schlieden, has published some sta
tistics in rgard to the manufacture and
sale of cigars in Germany. 1t appears
that in Thuringia alone $50 tons Of beet
root leaves are annually transformed
into tobacco" In Magdeburg and the
Palatir ate the cigar makers employ
large quantities, not only of beetroot
leaves but also of the leaves of endive,
and even of the potato plant. The CT
gars sold in South Germany as coming
from Vevey, at price Of from one mark
and half hundred, do not, according
to Herr Schlieden, contain any tobacco,
''except that made with cabbage or tur-
nip leaves, which had been deprived of
their specific odor by various manipu-
lations, and subsequently stepped for
some time in an extract of tobacco. !"
Herr Schlieden adds, with an air of
conscious pride, that sin no country in
the world are cigars sold ct SO cheap =
rate As ~ Germa9y."-ReN Mall q

A Homemade Telephone.

A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press writes: In your issue of March 2,
l noticed a recipe for making a cheap
telephone, given by Prof. Barrett in a
recent lecture on that instrument. In
making his instrument you use bar
magnet, and have to 60 to considerable
trouble, for all of which you can only
talk a distance of about hundred
yards. Now l can give a recipe much
more simple, and when the instrument
is finished you can converse at dis
lance of near five hundred yards. Take
two half-gallOn Cor quarD tin fruit cans
and take the bottoms out of them. Now
take couple of half cigar boxes, tack
down the lids and cut a hole through
the bottom and lid of each, so you can
fit in your cans, first bringing the ends
level with the lid or bottom. Now
stretch wet rawhide, parchment or
bladder over the other end and tie tight
and let it dry, and your speaking tubes
are finished. Now take two-ply of shoe
thread and wax it well, making it as
long as you wish it. Punch hole in
the center of the parchment head, poke
the end of the string through and put a
knot on it to keep it from pulling back.
Then put up your string like telegraph
wire, but don't let it touch wood. Where
you wish to support it or make turn,
run it through a loop of the same kind
of string it is, but don't put the sup
porting loops closer together than is
necessary to keepit up, and leave the
string pretty loose to allow for contrac-
ton when wet. Fasten your speaking
tubes at each end of the route, and you
are ready to gable away. You can
bore large gimblet holes in your window
sash to run the line out through, keep
ing it from touching the sash with q
loop, as described. The signal call is
to drum on the parchment end of the
can with your fingers, or better, pick
the string like harp about a foot from
the head. They are very useful and in

Abandoned at Sea.

At all times ships of one kind or another
are floating about at sea, abandoned by officers
and crew, in what seems o hopeless condition.
Some are dismantled and mere hulks, some are
swimming keel upwards, some are water-logged,
but being laden with timber will not sink, but
are driven hither and tlither as the wind and
waves may direct. So people afflicted with ca
tarrh, bronchitis, and consumption, are aban-

Country Living.

There are many schemes abroad at the
present to invite the people from the
city out into the country to till the soil
and acquire riches. In Florida, Kan.
sas, Texas, millions of acres lie I'M
touched and waiting to be utilized, while
thousands are complaining of hunger in
our over-crowded cities. Young men,
who. by perseverance, and industry,
could be successful and accumulate
property in the country, rush into the
city to become book-keepers and cash.
iers, or hold some kid-gloved office
where the old 'ssweat of the brow" the.
Ory shall become old-fashioned. As a
result, an advertisement for Q book
keeper will bring thousand answers,
while notice for partner. on farm
must wait for some clod-hopper to re-
| ply.
According to all poets, and even phi
lOsOphers, the possession and culture OF
land has always been an ideal destiny.
Whenever Homer or Virgil or Ovid or
the modern verse-makers have touched
the farm, their harps have walked up as
under new inspiration. Now, the
poets have never been behind humanity,
but always have been marching far in
the lead As Isaiah and Daniel march
ed far in front of their nations, singing
songs so lofty as to be prophesies, so
the poets who have touched the pillow
and the sheaf and the cottage and the
vine have been prophets harping out
the glory of subsequent centuries. 1t
may be that our times are drawing near
the fulfillment of these Sibylline
leaves, and that the time is at
hand when farm on the Mississippi
or La Platte or in the perpetual spring
of Florida will be as noble as q law Of
flee or a clerkship or an interest in a
commercial house. Indeed this coming
farm in its power to take young men
away from temptation and to build up
happiness and honor will rival the pull
pit itself as public means of reform.
Moreover, the new fashion that shall
make young men place their large or
small capital in land will come to our
sinful society in all the beneficence of a
Gospel. The railway and telegraph
have terminated the isolation and soli-
tude of the agricultural life; have joined
the good of the city to the country's
pure air and isolation and peace.
That ideal farm is coming along! Our
labor troubles, our over-supplied pro-
LESSONS, our idle lawyers and doctors
and preachers, our book-keepers with
no books to keep, our teachers with no
school-house, our politicians with no
nomination or election, our banks with
no capital or integrity, all. these ills of
society will make it look out and see the
blessed land which made Antnus gi-
ant while he kept his feet well upon this
mother earth. 1t may be that while So
ciety is trying to change its fashion, is
hating between two opinions, is
clinging to the dead old and fearing the
living new, ills will come and loud COM
plant such as filled the ship of Column
bus when the waste of waters lay
around; but let us bless God that our
sailing millions can look out from the
present and see continent whose hills
and prairies shout a "welconac. Chi

A City Slowly Shifting Its Location

The Virginia City (Nevada) Enter
prise says: Our town is very quietly
and very slowly moving to the eastward
and down the face of the mountain.
This is owing to the settling of the
ground over the bonanza mines. As all
the town is going together it is not much
noticed on the surface, where no cracks
are seen. The water and gas compa-
mics are better acquainted with the
movements taking place in the ground
forming the site of the town than most
others, as the instability of the earth
tells upon their pipes. On B and C
Streets, north of Union, the ground is
moving both north and east. A water
main, running north and south, I'M
covered yesterday at the corner of b
Street and Sutton Avenue, was found to
be telescoped to the distance of over a
foot, and besides had in it great kink
which made it necessary to take out q
piece nearly two feet in length. About
the Consolidated Virginia pan-mill the
pipes are crowding in from both east
and west; at least, owing to the settling
ofthe ground in the neighborhood, there
appears tobe two movements. Although
there are as yet no cracks in the central
part of the town, there is a large
one to the westward. 1t begins at Cedar
Ravine, runs south to near the large
water-tank of the Ophir, on the hill west
of town, then turns east for a consider
able distance, when it takes its course
southwark west Of. Stewart Street, and
finally joins the old crevice below the
Gould and Curry groupings. Toward
the north this crevice is about eight inch
es in width, and the ground north on
the east side of it is about three feet low
er than on the. west side.. Captain
Overton, Of the Water Company, whose
opportunities for observing these move-
ments are unsurpassed, says that as the
ground settles over the bonanzas that
on the slope of the mountain, where it
is not much undermined, gradually
moves down. He says, the Information
al Hotel has moved east about five inch
es since it was built. If such is the
case all the buildings in that part of
the town, with the ground on which they
stand, must have moved the same dis
lance, as no cracks are to be seen in the
earth. As we are now travelling, how
ever, it will be q long time before we
reach the Sugar Loaf.

CURING A DRUNKARD.

According to an article in the "British
Medical Journal" it has been found by
DR.. Renger that the tincture of capsicum
in ten drop doses is the best remedy
to counteract that craving for alcohol
which is the curse Of all inebriates, pre-
venting their return to rational conduct.
This remedy has been tested by other
physicians, and they report very favora-
bly, in regard to it. They give several
instances of men of various ages who,
half -muddled, hung around low drinking
sa oons, or at home, and who, when the
liquor was shut up, would pick the lock,
or when money was taken from them
would tipple on credit whenever they
had chance.
The best way to administer this rene
dy is to commence with five drops in a
little syrup of orange peel before meals,
increasing the dose of capsicum tincture
to twelve drops. In one month most OF
them became quite different men, chang
ing from half idiots to men who attended
to their business, and took an interest
in all that was going on in the world
which they before, being confirmed
drunkards, did not, according to tn,
habits of the latter class of unfortu
mates.

things, Topsy included, it was not born;
it "growed." Itwas gradually developed
from some yet undiscovered germ, like,
if we are to believe the Dafwinites, the
human creature whom it delights by ex-
pressing his emotions and his sense Of
audible beauty with such unrivaled fa-
cility and power. 1t began when the
first vibrating string was stretched across
a resonant surface, which answered the
double purpose of sounding board and
support; rude examples of which are
found even among the most barbaFous
peoples. This is the beginning of all

of which passes through the Tyre, the
harp, and the lutte, and ends in the piano.
forte, the other passing through crwth,
or crowd, and the violas in their various
forms, and ending in the violin and the
violoncello. The distinctive character
istics of the violin family is that upon
them the musical tone is produced by
drawing bow across the strings, and
the various musical notes by the pressure
Of the players fingers upon the strings
at various intervals. 1t is this direct
communication of the performer with
the strings, both in the production of
the musical vibration and in the stop
ping, as it is called, of the notes, which
gives the instruments of the violin fami-
ly their peculiar expressive power, and
their pproachable superiority. 1t is
the human touch upon the cord which
makes its tone so touching, which gives
that tone its human quality, in which it
is not only without an equal, but without
rival. 1t is kind Of direct communica-
ton with the soul of man, which gives the
violin, alone among all musical instru-
ments, "a soul There is no emotion which
the violin cannot express, from that of the
mere consciousness of serene happiness,
and sense of beauty, to that of the pro-
foundest and most agitating woe that
can disturb the human heart. 1t laughs
and chatters, it weeps and walls and
shrieks and sobs, with the utterance of a
ruined happiness. When Beethoven, at
the end of the funeral march in the
Heroic Symphony, makes the great in
strument, the orchestra upon which he
played with such divine mastery, sob
forth the theme in broken phrases, it is
upon the violins that he depends for the
utterance of that grand emotion. Modern
music would be impossible without the
violin.-7he GALAXY.
