A cHILD's bed should slope little
from the head to the toot, so that the
head may be little higher than the
feet; but never bend the neck to get
the head on the pillow. This makes the
child round shouldered, cramps the
veins and arteries, and interferes with
tho free circulation Of the blood.s Even
when the child is several years old the
pillow should be thin ana made Of hair,
not feathers.

4 ,cater-level indicator has been in
troduced at the bennington New Wa.
tcr-works, England, that serves to show
at the enginc-house the level of the
water in the reservoir, which is half Il
mile away. Nature says that 1t may be
made scrviccablc for automatically
announcing the condition Of large
rivers, &c. The indicator has a dial, :,
on which are divisions corresponding
to the rise and fall Of the water to be
reg istered, and hand OH the dial
points to that division which denotes
the height the water may stand at any
time In the reservoir. A single line Of
telegraph wire communicates between
the Indicator in the cnglne-hOusc and
the apparatus at the place where the
water is accumulated. This apparatus
Is so constructed that for every foot Of
rise Of The water one pole of the bat
terry is brought into connection with
the line for Il certain space Of time, and
the current from the battery, actuat-
ing the indicator, causes the hand to
move to the requisite distance round
the dial. When the water falls, the
opposite pole of the battery connects
with the line, and this Is made to move
the hand on the dial in contrary di-
rection. The apparatus at the lescr-
voir Is controlled by an ordinary float
aud weight placed in the water. y

CORN FOR SEED.-Use only grains
from the middle Of the ear, rejecting
tho butts and tips. Experience shows
that ears from the butts arc short and
thick, while those from the tips have
fewer rows and thin stalks. The grains
from the middle of the ear have larger
germs and more substance to nourish
the sprouts.

AGRICULTURE.

A FARM DEED. 1T is highly impor-
tant that every farmer should know
exactly what deed for farm conveys.
OF course, every one knows that 1t con-
veys all the fences standing OH the
farm, but all might not think 1t includes
all the fencing stuff, posts, rails, etc.,
which had once been used on the fence,
but had been taken down and piled up
for future use again In the same place.
But new fencing material just bought
and never attached to the soil, would
away, If once used on the land, have
been considered part of it; but loose
boards or scaifold poles laid loosely
across the beams of the barn and never
fastened would not be, and the seller Of
the farm might take them away. Stand
ing trees, Of course, pass aS part OF tho
land; so do trees blown down or cut
down and still left In tho woods where
they fell, but not cut or corded up for
sale; the wood has then become per-
sonal property. If there be any man
ure in the barn74rd, or in compact
heap ready for Immediate use, the buy
er ordinarily takes that also as belong
ing to the farm; though it might not
be so If the owner had previously sold
1t to some other party, and collected 1t
so pass by Il deed Of Il farm unless they
are expressly reserved, and when it Is
not intended to convey these it should
be stated In tho deed itself; Il mere
oral agreement to tn 1t effect would not
be valid In law. Another mode Is to
stipulatc that possession Is not to be
given until some future day, in which
case the manure may be removed before
that time. As to the buildings on the
farm, though generally mentioned on
the deed, 1T is not absolutely necessary
that they should be. A deed of land
ordinarily carries all the buildings TO
the grantor, whether granted or not;
and this rule includes the lumber and
timber in any old building that has been
taken down or blown down, and has
been packed away for future use on the
farm. But If there be any buildings
on the farm built by some third person,
with the farmers leave, the deed would
not convey these, since such buildings
are personal property, and do not be-
long to the land owner to convey. The
real owner thereof might move them
Oft, although the purchaser of the farm
supposed he was buying and paying
for all the buildings on 1t. His only
remedy In such q case would be against
the party selling the premises. AS Il
part Of the buildings conveyed, Of
course, the window blinds are includ-
ed, even IL they be at the time taken Off
and carried to Il painters shop to be
painted. 1t would be otherwise if they
had been newly purchased and brought
into the house, but not yet attached or
fitted to 1t. Lightning rods also go
with the house if Il farmer is foolish
enough to have any on his house. a
furnace In the cellar, brick or portable,
Is considered n part Of the house, but
all ordinary stove with Il loose pipe
running into the chimney Is not.

THEY WENT AND PROVED IT.-A
statesman was once in conversation
with a few friends as to what course
ought to be adopted with regard to mis-
representation in the press, and friend
said to him:
"The obvious course is not to take
notice of what Is said of you in the
papers. People will find you out in
time, If you do not contradict these
things"
"Well," said the statesman, heaving
deep sigh, "that was the course once
pursued. entered on public life with
resolution that, whatever the press
might say of me, would take no notice
of 1t. For years and years l perse-
vered, till at last my friends came to
me and said, There is an accusation in
one paper Of such an unutterably vii
lainous kind, that you owe it to your
self and to your supporters to CONTRA
dict it,"
The statesman felt that in this case an
exception must be made. He contra
dicted the report, as no informed the
friends to whom he was recounting his
experiences.
"Well," said one, "and what did the
papers dor"
"Why," the statesman answered.
"why, they went and proved it, the
villains"

The USE OF THE LEMoN.-Therc are
three ways of making Lemonade: TO
squeeze the juice INTO cold watcr-this
Is the shortest way; or to but it In
slices and let 1t soak in cold water; or
to cut IN slices and then boil it. Lem
onade is one of the best and safest
drinks tor Il person, whether in health
or not. 1t Is suitable to all stomach
diseases; Is excellent in sickness. The
pibcs, crushed, may also be mixed with
sugar water, and used as drink. We
advise every one to rub their gums
daily with lemcn juice to keep them in
health. The hands and nails are also
kept clean, white, soft and supple by
the daily use OF lemon instead OF soap.
1t also prevents chilblains. Lemon Is
used In Intermittent fevcrs, mixed with
strong, hot, black coffee without sugar.
Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing
the part affected with Il cut lemon. 1t
Is valuable also to cure warts, and to de-
stroy dandrutf OH the head by rubbing
the roots of tho hair with it.

as to the kind of molasses you use, but

Mind you have n kettle Which is plenty
large; put In your 'lasses over u slow
fire and boil for half an hour, stirring
1t all the time; don't let the raolasses
burn while 1T Is boiling; to see if it will
set, take Il little and drop it in cold
water, when, If it becomes hard and
snaps, it Is about right; now stir in a
half teaspoonful of soda; that's about
the proportion for quart Of molasses !;
stir 1t all in, and pour into buttcrctl
dish; now everything depends upon
the pulling; the longer you pull the
whittier 1t gets, and just as soon as it is

can flavor the candy with lemon or
what you please, but the true genuine
candy, the Simon pure, is better with
