The prompt reform Of those bodily evils, en-
feebled digestion, incomplete assimilation, in
activity of the liver, kidneys and bladder, as
well as of the nervous symptoms which these
ailments are especially prone to beget, is al
ways accomplished by the use Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a medicine accredited by
physicians, pronounced pure by analysts, and
eminently wholesome and agreeable. Surely
such a restorative is preferable to unpalatable
and indigestible mineral drugs aud INSANE
toned nostrums. The nation at large aSsur-
edly thinks 30, judging by the unprecedented
demand for the article from Maine to the Pa
ciic, a demand now supplemented by immense
orders for it received from tropical America,
Mexico, the British and Spanish Colonial pos
sessions, and elsewhere. Both at home and
abroad it is recognized as a standard remedy
and preventive, the decisiveness OF its effects
recommending it everywhere.

HOW Grapes Ripen.-According to
Complies RenduS, St. Pierre and Magnien
have arrived at the following con-
illusions in regard to the changes which
grapes undergo while ripening. During
the process they evolve carbonic acid in
darkness as well as in light, when ex-
posen TO the air or placed In an indiffer-
ent gas. The amount Of oxygen taken
up; this has been remarked in the case
OF observations extending over a long
space of time. Grapes can absorb or
give Off water according as they are
placed in a moist or dry medium. AS
the change goes on the acids decsease in
amount, while the quantity of sugar in
creases. The acids and the glucose are
carried to the grapes by the sap. Here
the acids are slowly consumed, while
the sugar increases in point of concen-
t~ratlon, and at a still later stage the
sugar itself is consumed.

AGRICULTURE.

A SCREEN AT THE HoUsE.-It is espe-
cially the case in sparsely settled por-
lions Of the csuntry, that the house Is
placed quite near the public road. This
Is done 10 avoid the loneliness, and TO
allow the inmates a glimpse Of the few
passers- by that they may not feel quite
isolated. 1t generally happens thatthis
advantage, as 1t is regarded, is Offset by
the exposure Of the rear of the house,
the back door, and the back yard, TO all
who pass, aud 1t becomes desirable TO
shut of this view Of the premises by a
screen, which Is necessary, also TO al
low the inmates TO pass 10 h dairy
house, wOodshed, or other out-buildings
unobserved. Houses, where 1t a be
afforded, are often provided with
screens of lattice work, of two-inch
Stats, crossing each other, with a bottom
board below, and cornice above, which
are invariably painted white, while the
lattice itself is green. Such a screen,
while well enough a village, Is quite too
artificial and conspicuous for a country
house. The best screen for the country,
whether for shutting out the view, or
Tor the shelter it affords, is a living one
of trees. This, however, can
moi be had at once-time is required to
produce it, and while this is growing
some other may be supplied. One of
the best plants for such a screen is a
rampant growing grapevine, such as
the "ClintOn" or Taylor" and until
this gets established some ANIMALS, such
as morning. glories, or such quick
growing plants as the Madeira vine,
may be used.

Two men have just been tried before
the Court of Assizes of the Bases Py-
renees France for a number of robberies
which by an accidental circumstance led
an interesting archaeological discovery.
The accused Rivas, a shoemaker, aged
thirty-two, and Bellier, a weaver, aged
twenty-six, were arrested In May last,
after frequent burglaries and armed at
tacks on the highways had spread terror
around the neighborhood of Slsteron.
The evidence against them was clear,
but no traces could be obtained of the
plumber until one of the men gave a clue
TO the mystery. Rivas in his youth had
been a shepherd boy near that place,
and knew the legend of the Trou
d'Argent, a cavern at the summit of one
of the Alps with sides so precipitous as
to be almost inaccessible, and which no
one was ever known to have reached.
The Commissary of Police of Sisteron,
after extraordinary labor, succeeded in
scaling the mountain, and penetrated
to the mysterious grotto, where he dis
covered an enormous quantity of stolen
articles of all kinds, comprising
watches, clothes, domestic animals,
food, spirits, firearms, etc. The way
having been once found, the vast cavern
was afterward explored by Swans, and
their researches brought to light a
number of Roman medals Of the third
century, flint hatchets, ornamental
pottery, and the remains of ruminants
of enormous size.

The substitution of the new article, APP
paratone, for gum, starch, galatine,
&C.; in finishing the various kinds OF
fabrics of cotton, wool, or silk, and also
for the thickening in calico printing,
appears to be a decided success. Ac.
cording to a Leipsic journal, it affords
very superior effects, imparting a
hitherto unattainable velvety surface,
and rendering transparent articles as
stiff as metallic foil. This substance is
prepared by stirring vigorously sixteen
parts of potato starch into seventy-six
parts of water, and then adding, with
continued stirring, eight parts OF potash
Of soda I've of twenty-five degrees.
After a few minutes, the liquid clears
up and forms a gelatinous mass, and
this is well beaten up, the quality of
the apparatine being dependent on the
amount of beating. 1t simply dries in
the air without decomposition or spoil
ing, or acquiring any odor, and may be
formed into thin, transparent, colOrless
sheets, resembling horn, but more
flexible.

SCIENTIFIC.

On he Mountains Of Hdpdii, is a native
goose, which inhabits the high lava
beds, and never comes down 20 the sea.
Ii Is a size smaller than the white
fronted goose Of u country, gray
body, black legs and feet, a dirty white
neck, except a black line running down
the upper side Of the neck, and has a
black head. The foot Is not fully
webbed, and the only water IL gets In
It's native habitat is In little pools ia
the basins or caverns of the lava rocks.
IL is a bird of strong flight, and shy ia
its native haunts, and described as
being delicious on the table. Ii Is
easily domesticated, and becomes an
interesting pet. A gentleman who pre-
sented me with a male bird In Honolulu
remarked he would miss him very
much, for always when he went home
at evening the bird met and welcomed
him at the gate, and as they passed up
the walk together would tell him all
the news Of the day. They love TO be
talked 10, and answer in a low, soft
gable. / tried TO buy one Of a native
woman on the steamer, but no price
would tempt her TO part with 1t. The
gentleman who Interpreted for me said
ii WIS Of no use trying, for 1t was a pet,
and she would much sooner sell one of
her children, and In the end l found it
so. They breed more freely In domesti-
cation than wild. On the mountains
they lay but two or three eggs, while
the Postmaster-Genera of the kingdom
told me that those which he had In
demonstrations laid ten or twelve eggs.
| succeeded in getting two pairs, which
/ brought home with me. One of the
geese which | bought Of an editor of
Honolulu, for fifteen dollars, had laid
ten eggs each in the last two years, but
as he had no gander no attempt was
made to hatch them. In my grounds
they seem to be doing well, | hope
next year that they will breed. My ex-
perience is that no water fowl will
breed the same year in which its home
is changed.

APrLEs FOR Mich Cows.-Apples
being abundant this season, farmers are
interested to know what to do with
them. Six or eight shillings a barrel for
choice winter fruit, or eight and ten
cents a bushel for cider apples, with
cost of marketing the former some miles
away, and delivering the latter at dis
tant mill, afford but a meagre return
for fruit and labor. Two years ago ap-
pies being abundant and the market so
low as to scarcely pay for transporta-
ton, l fed u a surplus of some two
hundred bushels to two mich cows,
giving to each a two quart pailful twice
IA day for five months, from the first of
August to the last of December. / am

bushels of apples, not q bushel should

DRINK For Cows.-Cows should ne
yer be allowed to drink stagnant water
1t is impossible for a COW TO drink inn
pure water and produce pure, healthy
milk from 1t. Professor Low, of Cor
nell University, found by nicroscopic
examination of the milk of cows that
drink stagnant water, that the milk
contained living organisms, similar to
these found In the water they drank.
Professor Arnold says, "that a cows
drinking stagnant water had been
known to cause her milk to ccagulate
in four hours, at a temperature of sew
enty degrees, and when raised to
ninety degrees it would coagulate at
once" There are instances where ty-
phoid fever has been communicated by
milk given by cows which had drunk
foul water containing the typhoid poi
son. These facts should be sufficient to
cause farmers to be exceedingly careful
TO furnish their cows with pure water
for drinking purposes.
