COOKED OR UNcooKED FooD.-Prof.
harrington of the Maine state agricul-
tural college, has just concluded a SER
ies OF experiments which were begun
nine years ago by Samuel johnson,
tnen farm superintendent, fol- the pur-
pose of ascertaining the feeding value
of cooked and uncooked meal tor swine.
The trials have been carried on several
months each year, the greatest care be-
ing taken that no food should be wasted,
but that the pigs should be fully sup
piled, The raw meal WAS simply mix
ed with cold water and fed INN euiate-
~, except in very cold weather, when
It was given slightly warm. The result
Is wholly in favor OF the uncooked meal
Tor feeding. The professor says that
these experiments prove that the labor
and fuel required for cooking food is
more than thrown away. This accords
with opinions we have held for a long
time, and our practice has been confin-
Ell wholly to uncooked food for more
than twenty years. We are not even
particular to mix tho meal and water
only as IL becomes mixed in the trough
by pouring milk and water upon the
meal, Meal is cheap and labor dear In
New England.

CURE FOR COLD IN THE HEAD.-"It
would seem that the cure for those
worst Of small nuisances, cold In the
head, which DR.. Ferrier suggested IN
the Lancet, might prove to be q remedy or
very great value. 1t is q snuff-a white
powder-.composed oil the following in
gredients: Hydrochlorate of morphia.
two grains: acacia powder, two drachms
trisnitrate Of bismuth, six drach ms
the whole making mp aQnantity of
powder, Of which from One-quarter to
one-half may safely be taken, if neces-
sary, in the course of twenty-four
hours. DR.. Ferrier says that with this
snuff he has twice cured himself of
very violent colds, once, indeed by TAX
ing trisnitrate Of bismuth alone, which
isa very powerful remedy for catarrh Of
the mncuos membrane, and is the most
important ingredient In this snuff. Dr..
Ferrier mentions two others who were
cured of violent colds, by the same snuff
and to these instances we may add that
OF the present writer, who having q
very violent cold coming on, with the
sensation of weight In tho temples and
the usual disagrceable feeling in the
throat, as we'll as ordinary catarrh,
made trial of DR.. Terriers remedy one
evening, and got up on the following
morning completely free from cold,
which las not since recured. The
snuff, instead Of increasing the ten
dency to sneeZc, almost immediately
begins to diminish 1t.

A Mules Reserved Power.

This mule looked like he was 1873
years old, and was dead standing upon
his feet. He was hitched to pine bodied
spring wagon, with a high dashboard.
The team was standing on the levee in
mute silence, while the old darkey who
f" driv'' it went aboard the wharf boat.
A tramp could make barrel of money
selling pictures of that mule, labeled
(" Patience" His long, fabby ears hung
down each side of his head like window
awnings with the rods out of them.
His face wore sober look, while out of
his mouth hung tongue eight inches
long His tail swung down from the
rear end Of his hurricane roof like a wet
rope, while his whole body seemed as
as death itself. Presently a
urchin, with an old boot in
hand, walked up in front of him, and,
looking into his face, saw that the mule
was asleep. He walked around, climbed
up into that wagon, leaned over the
lifted that mules tail, and
let it come down in time to catch death
grip on that boot leg. That mule woke
up so quick that he kicked the boy and
the dashboard twenty feet into the air.

Christmas in M OrOccO.

AS we sat chatting round the tea
table, to us entered Hamed, bearing,
with honest pride Illuminating his
brown features, a great tray of richly
engraved brass, heaped up with curious
but tempting-lo looking cakes. Gracefully
presenting them to the senora," he in
timated that this was his humble offer
ing or Christmas token of good will to-
ward the family, and that his mother
(whom the good fellow maintains out of
his modest wages) had made them with
her own hands. The cakes were made of
long, thin strips of the finest paste,
plentifully sweetened with delicious
honey, twisted into quaint shapes, and
fried in the purest of oil. / need hardly
say that the children were delighted,
and Immediately commenced to court
indigestion by vigorous onslaught on
the new and tempting sweets. Nay,
why should | blush to confess that / my.
self have very sweet tooth in my head,
and such a liking for all things saccha-
rine that my friends say jokingly that /
must be getting into my second child
hood-an imputation which, as / am
only little on the wrong side of thirty,
| can bear with equanimity. However,
| firmly decline to inform an inquisitive
public how many of those delightful
Moorish cakes | ate; truth to tell, I do
los remember; but / enjoyed them
heartily, nor found my digestion i'm
paired thereby.-Londoa Society.

Fishing for Forcies.

The porgy is going to claim the atten-
ton of the Maine legislature this winter.
The law passed last winter, but which
has notyet gone into effect, prohibits the
catching Of porgies or menhaden in the
small bays, inlets harbors or rivers of the
state. The fishery Ihas almost entirely
been the growth Of fifteen years. The
" Association of Menhaden Oil and Gu
ano Manufacturers compl Uses eighteen
factories, employing 4S steamers and 727
men. The capital Of the association, in
factories and gear, aggregates ST. ,OS3,6l2;
the association also employs between
two and three hundred vessels in freight
ing oil, guano, fish and other products.
The average catch per season is 10000
barrels. This year quite large part of
it has been taken within the prescribed
limits, and those interested are going to
the legislature for the repeal of the law.
1t is claimed, though the manufacturers
deny it, that these fish come inland to
spawn, and that seining them at this
time is destructive to their young.

The Crack in virginia.

Accounts are received of a remarkable
occurrence which has recently taken
place in the Blue Ridge mountains, in
the county of Greene, Virginia, and
which greatly excited the apprehension
of the rustic population in the neighbor-
hood. A assure has been discovered in
the mountain opposite the middle fork
of the Rapidan river, which has been
traced for many miles, and is believed to
extend entirely through and across the
mountain to the Shenandoah river on
the western side. The assure is about a
foot wide, and of such depth that its
bottom could not be reached with the
longest poles cut for the purpose of ex-
ploring the crevice. One man in search
of stock traced the fssure for at least
four miles. The earth on one of its sides
is said to be perpendicular, but on the
other side is slanting, as if the entire
northern side of the mountain had been
depressed by the sudden settling of its
subterranean foundations

Motley and Lincoln.

Mr.. Motley did not take very natur al
ly to politics. He was the same elegant
gentleman upon the stump that he was
in private intercourse. 1t was as very
young man and acting as the secretary
Of whig club that met him. The week
following / was called upon to meet
Abraham Lincoln in the same way.
Never was there greater contrast. Lin
coin was awkward, ungainly, and with
an apparent disinclination to converse.
[ rode ten miles with him in the cars.
He looked about him good deal, and
at times seemed to be lost in reverie,
which it was most courteous to leave
undisturbed. When we reached the
invited to a gentleman's house, and was
introduced to several people of his own
profession, the county court being then
in session. He still said little or moth
ing beyond the formalities Of speech.
He went to the hall in which the meet
ing was to be held short time later, and
when he took the platform the metamor-
phosis of the man was complete. His
eyes sparkled, his face shone-he was
shrewd, sharp, witty, and made the most
effective speech to which L ever listened.
Motley was elected to the legislature
that year. He was kind of dilettante
in that body, as is shown by his PROPOSE
ton to take the common school fund
and use it for educating youth in college.
Imagine the way the farmers and other
country representatives smiled at such
prOuosition seriously coming from the
committee on education. Mr.. Motley
himself humorously tells Of how George
S. Boutwell,, then young storekeeper
Boutwell, was only twenty-five when
first chosen to the house, representing
the town Of Groton, sat down on his
carefully prepared report This was the
last of Mr.. Motley's popular political
life. He lost considerable part Of his
fortune soon after. This may have sup
piled something of the needed stimulus
to bring out what his friends had always
claimed for him.-HGrtfoyd Courdmt.

to $I40 month during the four work
ing months in the year. Having their
rent free, burning coal supplied by the
company, and blubber for lights, and
subsisting chiefly on sea meat, they may
be considered very prosperous. They
spend a great deal of money in clothes,
usually preferring bright colors, but will
throw sack Of blubber just as readily
across their shoulders when clad in gay
new suit as if in their working clothes.
The children are educated in a school
provided by the company, but are any
thing but apt scholars, extremely filthy
in their habits and difficult to manage.
There is q pretty little Greek church in
the settlement, and adjoining it small
graveyard with many graves-a simple
wooden cross marking these last abiding
places. Here lies buried young fellow
belonging to the signal service detach-
ment, who died of exhaustion short
time after he arrived at the station. The
cold during the winter is very intense,
but SO subtle that the victim is scarcely
aware of its rigor before he is overpow-
cred. During the summer months about
one hundred varieties of flowers many
very beautiful-bloom On the hillsides.
The season is so short that they spring
from the frozen ground, bud, blossom
and mature in an incredibly short time.
