THERE are signs of reformation in the
Democratic party in Seneca county. Our
reasons for this belief are these: At the
session Of the General Assembly of 1877
DR.. Norton, then the Democratic Repre-
sentative from Seneca county, in reso-
luton presented in the House by him,
declared that he had lost faith in AL
mighty God. The DIR. was candidate
this year for nomination again, but was
defeated. Not satisfied with the lispo-
sition the Democracy had made of him,
he presented his claims to the Democratic
senatorial Convention for the nomination
Tor state Senator, but the convention
failed 70 recognize the claims Of an aspi-
rant to Senatorial honors who had lost
faith In the Supreme Ruler of the uni
verse Verify there is yet hope of the
Democratic party. 1t may vet become
orthodox in its theology.

Having left the Alps we pass over ii
broad plain of mulberry and grape plan
tations, which looks like an immense
orchard as far as the eye can see, with no
fences to separate one plantation from
another. The mulberry tree is grown
for the production of the silkwOrm, and
the grape vine is trellised on the trees.
Between the rows of trees Indian corn is
planted to some extent, and also wheat
and oats. The heat is SO intense here
and the season so dry it seems as though
nothing in the line of vegetation could
survive. The first important city on the
| route is Verona, seXenty-two miles from
| Venice, crowded with ancient editices,
many of which are marble, and contains
about 20, 900 inhabitants. The city is
walled in, with six gates, and all who
enter them from without are inspected
| by the guards who watch them. "A gate
way in one of the streets, part of the
old Roman wall, dates back to the second
century; but the great sight of Verona
| is Diocletian's sAmphitheatre, second only
in grandeur to the Colosseum at Rome
506 feet in length by 4O4 in width; JOG
feet high, with Y arches and 45 tiers of
seats around the arena. 1t has been
standing over fifteen hundred years, and
is still in state of good preservation.
This was the reputed home of Romeo and
| Juliet, and as such we had some curiosity
| to visit her tomb, or rather the stone sar-
| cophagus that tradition says once con-
tanned her body. 1t is in small back
| Of b,,i kha
and is reached by back entrance to the
lot, two sides of which is passed under a
grape arbor. The stone coffin has no top
| to it, and over it on the wall is faded
wreath of flowers and evergreens, with
card attached stating that the wreath was
placed there by the wife of William
Shakespeare, a Iineal descendant OF the
bard, in 1864. Beggars in rags, with ex-
tended hands, met us on all sides. Decay
and depravity seemed to hold high car
nival here, and all breathed freer when
once again in hacks and on our way to
the depot, after passing the night and a
half day in the ancient city of Verona

"The City of the Sea- was our next
stopping place, which all tourists look
forward to with much anticipation, and
on the Both of July, about P NJ, we
arrived at the city. In approaching
Venice by rail eight or ten miles of water
and marsh are crossed by means of a
solid roadway, the entire distance being
walled with stone on both sides, with oc

EFFECT OF KEEPING FLOUR IN BAR
RELS.-A is well known, flonr kept in
barrels for long time often acquires a
peculiar odOr, supposed to be derived
from the barrel. Pollock, of SileSia, has
lately made a careful examination of
such flour, and has ascertained that this
smell actually indicates an incipient de-
composition preiudicial to good bread
making, the gluten of The flour having
in part became changed into a soluble
body Thus, while sound flour pres
erved in sacks contained II O6 per cent,
of gluten and l Al per cent of soluble al
luminous matter. fouI other specimens
of flour taken from different barrels
were severallY composed of 81 per
cent. gluten to IA per cent. soluble al
bumen : 40 pei cent. to 6 so per cent
Z % per cent. to / A per cent. and 81
per cent, to 46 per cent. Two samples
with more than 6 per cent of soluble
matter had an acid reaction. while the
others are neutral. Prof. POleck be
lieveS this chemical change of the flour
to be induced by the fact That the bar
rel prevents communication with the
atmospheric air and the equalization Of
temperature. TINS view is confirmed
10y the oft repeated observation that
fl ,ur kept in sacks keeps fresh for much
longer time, and that the mUstiness in
barrels always develops first and exists
in the highest degree in the center. viz. ID.
that portion most remote from the out
er air.

AN ASTRONOMICAL FACT.-Two per
sons were born at the same place, ut the
same moment of time. After an age Of
fifty years they both died, also at the
same place and at the same moment. vet
one had lived one hundred days more
than the other. How was this'poSS.ble?
Not to keep our friends in suspense. the
solution runs upon a curious. but with
a little reflection very obvious point in
circumnavigation. 4 person going
around the world towards the west loses
a day. and towards the east he gains one.
Supposing, then, Two persons born to-
CetheT at the Cape of Good Hone, whence
a voyage around The world may be per
formed in one year: if one perform this
constantly towards the west, in fifty
years he will be fifty days behind the
stationary inhabitants, and if the other
sail equally toward the west. III fifty
years be VIII be as many DAYS in advance
Cf them. One, therefore. viii have seen
one hundred days more than the other.

KEEPING APPL Es.-A correspondent
OF the Rural NcW Yorker writes that he
has tested the method suggested in ag-
rIcultural papers of keeping apples all
the year round by wrapping them in
paper for two successive years. and finds
1t to be a perfect success. The plan
pursued was 10 take old newspapers. cut
them into pieces of sufficient size. and
wrap each apple 10y itself and pack them
carefully in boxes or barrels, so as 10 ex-
clude the air. The variety selected was
the Northern Spy. and this year. as late
as the l4th of August. they were fresh
and crisp, and he had 10 doubt they
might have been kept much longer, had
not the temptation to eat them been so
strong.

REMARKABLE PIECE OF WOOD Mr..
Thomas Il. Crosby obtained what he
considers quite curiosity in cutting
down "A tree on the premises of Mr.. Peter
l.. Egolf, in PottstOwn The tree was
SILVER maple, about a foot and halt
III diameter above the ground. and from
the centre OF its trunk was obtained a
stick about y feet in length and an inch
III diameter, looking just as the tree did
when 1t was quite small, many years
ago, with knots on it showing plainly
the marks made by the knife of the
owner in trimming. 1t seemed exactly
as II this stick, branch, or heart of the
tree had stopped growing at certain
time, that new tree had grown around
it. leaving the original sapling standing
loose in the centre of its wood. Ali
who have examined the stick and the
knife marks where it was trimmed pro-
nounce it wonderful growth indeed.

tice so many enquiries from correspond
ents in relation to steamers and food
cookers that | am induced to give them
how to make cheap one, which think
will be found equal in economy and dur
ability to many more pretentlous one.
Get your carpenter to make tank or
vat of good sound pine plank, using
lumber one foot wide, and of such dim
ensions as to hold from one to two bar
rels of water on the bottom of this nail
heavy galvanized iron and for economy
of fuel have the timer solder six inch
pipe up through this about one foot from
the rear end, and extending up some
what higher than the water will come
when it is filled from this extend com
mon stove pipe 10 any height YOU choose.
When this is completed set it on the
top of brick or stone work laid in NOR
tar, forming a fire box the whole length
of the tank. Your smoke stack is al
ready completed in the pipe running
through the bottom. Some two feet
from the front end of the fire box |
would build bridge coming nearly UP
to the bottom of the tank, so as to con-
fire the flames nearer TO the heating
surface. and do not make the fire box
100 high, for much of the heat is lost in
this way, from fourteen to sixteen in
ches is sufficient for height.) For con-
venience in drawing off the hot water
put in good sized faucet near the bot
tom on one side or back end. A barrel
half full of meal filed up with boiling
water and covered tightly for six or
eight hours viii be found on opening
again to be cooked sufficient for all pur-
poses of feeding.
The whole cost OF boiler of this kind
need not exceed five dollars. can be
built out of doors or in one corner of the
hog house with no more danger than an
ordinary stove, and from the large
amount of heating surface exposed to
the fire, only a small amount of wood is
required. ] have had one of this kind
i'll use for number of years and would
not exchange it for some of the patent

ed in this section. The one l have is

FRESH EGGs DURING WINTER.


How to secure eggs during the win
ter season is again the anxious query of
Young and inexperienced poultry grow
ers. 1t is estimated that 1900, ,000 doZ-
en- eggs are consumed daily in the Uni
ted States, New York alone appropriat-
ing &C. 00O, 600 dozens annually. Such
figures as these naturally incline every
body owning poultry yards to consider
the way and means by which the great
est number of eggs shall be gained.
The production of eggs during cold
weather is largely under the control of
the one who has charge of the fowls.
Hens supplied with warm and comfort
able quarters and an abundance of suit
able food as a rule reward the owner
with bouUtiful supply of eggs. In
connection with liberal care should be OBJ
served the ages of fowls. Geyehn and
other scientists who have looked into
the matter state. and Prof Miles quotes
the following proportion as applicable to
the average of poultry First year af-
ter Matching, Is TO 20 eggs second year
100 to 120; third year, 120 TO 135; and
the fourth year after Matching 100 to 1l5
eggs, after which there is a visible de-
crease, the fifth year being accorded on
ly 60 to 50 eggs.
Fowls require a variety of food. Corn
fed alone tends to the production of fats,
not the production of eggs. Wright, in
his book of poultry, places finely ground
oats. thoroughly moistened, but not
made into slOp, at the head of the liSt
as the standard food for poultry. He
Furthermore recommends the mixing of
all soft food. with boiling water and
feeding of it while it yet is warm. OF
the whole grains he gives buckwheat the
preference, and next TO this he advises
fresh barley Laying hens should also
have liberal supply in the way of vege-
tables and any green food obtainable
Scraps of meat chopped fine and mixed
with bits of food may be further varied
by using wheat screenings or middlings
and shorts mixed and wet with water.
Burnt bones or oyster shells or bits of
pounded lime, mortar and gravel must
be regularly furnished. These subStan-
ces prevent the occcurance of sott-Shell-
ed eggs and are relished by the hens.
4 box of dry ashes placed where it is al
WAYS accessible insures freedom from
YeTmin.
In climates where the weather is mild
and the hens are allowed to run at large
they are not cut off from their usual
supplies and will generally lay we'll with
out any special aid, but the directions
given are very necessary elsewhere. At
all times and under all circumstances
plenty of clean water should be prOvid-
ed.
To present the matter in a nutshell,
furnish suitable accommodations, OBJ
tain and keep excellent breeds. feed as
great variety of diet as possible, and
feed them as much as they viii eat--a
hungry hen will not be a laying hen. In
very cold weather add little cayenne
pepper to the morning ration, which
should he made neither too wet nor Civ
en- too hot. Supply plenty of water and
observe regularity in feeding and also in
gathering the eggs.
