Startling Opinion.

The following letter, by a writer who
signs himself "James E. Serrell; civil en-
gineer," is printed in New York paper:
Various publications have appeared in
different parts, particularly in the London
papers. setting forth proposed plan OF
flooding the Desert of Sahara, thereby
making it an ocean or an inland sea, by
opening a canal or channel from the At
lantic ocean.
The depth and size of the Desert below
the level of the ocean is stated as from 500
to $50 feet; the area in square miles is
over 1900, 900; the average depth is not
generally known, but suffice it to say that
If such a project should be started and
not under control Of those in charge of
the work, the earth could, and no doubt
would be thrown off its present balance,
and the surface OF all the waters to certain
extent would be changed in their level,
could be ascertained with certainty if the
actual sizes and depths could be known;
for 'sif every grain Of sand removed alters
the balance of the world,'' what would
this great change do? 1t might cause the
Send of the world" which, according to
the prophecy of 'sMother Shipton," will
be in 1881. In this project all the world
is interested.

A Boston Lawyers Story.

| was returning from Germany, where
[ had been at the university. The last
thing before locking my trunk I threw
in a handful Of cigars were left OF
box. They were the German cigars,
made of native tobacco, and were very
peculiar, but large and black and well
made, and they looked like regular stun
ners. When arrived here, the custom
house man wanted me to take an oath
about my things, but I refused. had
lots of dutiful things in my trunk, but
told him if he thought he could compel
me to take an oath, to go ahead. Finally
he opened the trunk, and saw those CT
gars on top. He said, care these good
cigars?" I said, "Pretty fair Without
a word, he took four and put them in his
pocket. said, "Why don't you try one!
That's the only way to tell about them y
He put one into his mouth and lighted
it. That was all wanted. said, ssYou
will have the kindness to shut that trunk,
and mark it O. e.; He looked at me,
and looked at him for moment. Then
he SAID, "You're Yankee?" said, 81
am He closed the trunk, locked it,
chalked something on the lid, gave me
the key, and walked away. My expen-
diture for duty was four German cigars.

NO TINE LIKE THE OLD TIME.

There is no time like the old time, when you
and I were young,
When the buds Of April blossomed and birds
OF spring time sung!
The gardens brightest glories by summer sun
are nursed;
But, O! the sweet, sweet violets, the flowers
that open first!
There is no place like the old place, where you
and / were born,
Where we lifted up our eyelids on the splen-
doris of the morn
From the milk white breast that warmed us :
from the clinging arms that bore,
Where the dear eyes glistened DER us that will
look on us no more
There is no friend like the old friend, who has
shared our morning days!
No greeting like his welcome, no homage like
his praise
Fame is the scentless flower, with gaudy crown
But.friendless is the breathing rose, with sweets
in every fold.
There is no love like the old, that we courted
in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling, and
we're fading side by side;
There are blossoms all around us with the
colOrs of the dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine when the
light of day is gone.
There are no times like the old times-they
shall never be forgot!
There is no place like the old place-keep
green the dear old spot!
There are no friends like the old friends may
Heaven prolong their lives!
There are no loves like the old loves-God
bless our loving wives!

Disinfecting Stables.

Distinction Of stables, drains sheds, cess
pools and outhouses should now be attend
ed to, says writer. The value of dis
infection is no longer subject Of discus
sion. All malignant maladies have been
stayed in their ravages by free and con-
slant use Of the potent agents Of disinfec-
ton. The walls of the stable should now
I've whitewashed. In every livery stable
there should be a bucket of sulphate Of
iron (copperas). Take handful every
morning, dissolve in bucket of water
and throw into the drain. It is cheap
aud effective. So is the chloride Of zinc
(butter of zinc); dissolve an ounce in two
gallons Of water. Where there are sick
animals the sheds and stables should al
ways be fumigated with sulphur at least
every Other day. If mixed with tar the
gases generated are very good disinfec-
tants. Take -four of sulphur half a
pound, wood tar one quart; mix with
tow; burn at one or two spots and this
will disinfect large stable. Carbolic
acid is a powerful disinfectant and should
be applied to doors, walls and troughs.
It is disagreeable to flies. Blankets
should be wet with weak solution of If
to destroy all disease germs. Chloride
of lime IS another popular disinfectant.
Dlsinfeetlng powders, preparations of
carbolic acid, are sprinkled daily through
the stables Of London and Liverpool at
an annual cost Of only 81 for each horse.
They keep the flies away and the atmos-
phere pure.

How to Make DYES,

A German writer tells us that num-
Der of excellent dyes can be obtained from
the berries of common plants, by boiling
them in water SO as to produce strong
decoction. The whortleberry and the
blueberry, when boiled down, with an
addition of little alum and copperas,
will make fine shade of dark blue. The
same treatment, with solution of nut
gals added TO it, will make a handsome
brown; while, by adding alum, verdigris
and sal ammoniac to the berries, several
shades of bright purple and red can be
obtained. The juice of elderberries,
boiled in water, With little alum, will
also produce shade of blue. The ber-
ries Of the privet when cver-ripe, will
yield, 10y mixture of little salt, a
scarlet red, and the seeds Of the burning
bush, when treated with sal ammoniac,
make beautiful reddish-purple. The
juice of the currant, with little alum
will dye bright shade Of red, and the
bark Of the bush, treated in the same way,
makes good brown. Yellow can be OBJ
tanned from the bark of the elm, the pop
lar, the ash and the apple tree, boiled
down strong and mixed with alum water
The tassels Of broom corn, treated in
the same way, produce a good shade Of

Raising Geese.

Why is the interest in raising geese so
small? How can poultry yard be COM
plete without them? 1 raised three
broods Of goslings from one goose last
year. The same goose has laid thirty
two eggs this year. Her time for hatch
ing the second setting is now up. The
first setting was destroyed by new man
on my farm, who shook the eggs, think
ing they were added, not knowing that
they need four days longer than usual in
December and January. Goslings raised
last July are Matching now Every batch
of four geese should have one gander with
them. find that where there is only
one gander to six geese there are too
many infertile eggs. I've had only two
eggs of that sort that failed to be detect
ed by testing, since 1 began keeping
geese. My geese are of pure breed
grayish brown, knuckle- billed Chinese
birds, with large bodies. I consider
them valuable addition to the poultry
yard. Unlike the Toulouse and white
geese, they are not loamers. Neao

WHICH CONQUERED?

MRS PALMER--Dear Madame My aunt

as writing is somewhat out Of her line.
She bcgs me to assure you that your son

How to Utilize Old Frnit Cans.

Perhaps one Of the most appropriate
uses of an old fruit can that can be de-
vised is to make it contribute to the
growth Of new fruit to fill new cans.
This is done in the following manner;
The can is pierced with one or more pin
holes and then sunk in the earth near the
roots Of the strawberry or tomato OF 9TH
or plant. The pin holes are to be of such
size that when the can is filled with wa
ter the fluid can only escape into the
ground very slowly. Thus quart can,
properly arranged, will extend its irriga-
ton to the plant for period of several
days; the can is then refilled. Practical
trials of this method of irrigation leave
no doubt OF its success. Plants thus wa
tered flourish and yield the most bounte-
Gus returns throughout the longest
drouths. In all warm localities where
water is scarce, the planting Of old fruit
cans, as here indicated, will be found
profitable as a regular gardening opera
ton.

charge which falls with deadly effect. II
may or may not be fatal to stay out; it is
safe to be in the house, with the windows
and doors shut. The dry air in a house
is reader conductor of lightning than
the damp air outside, and any draught Of
air invites it.
A hot fire in q chimney attracts it, so
to speak, and it is prudent for those who
would be sure Of safety to use kerosene
or gas stoves in summer, and avoid heat
ing the chimneys Of the house. People
are very ignorant or reckless about light
ming. l have seen girl of eighteen cry
ing with fear Of lightning, and running
every other moment to the window to sec
| if the storm was not abating, unconscious
that she was putting herself in danger.
/ If every one would hurry to shelter as
soor as storm-cloud was half way up
the sky, when certain it was coming near
er; if they would shut the doors and win
dows, and Keep away from them after
ward, and from bell-wlres, stovc-pipes,
mantles, chimney breasts, heaters and
mirrors, with their sllvered backs, which
carry electricity, and keep away from
lightning rods and their vicinity, and
from metal water spouts, with good rods
on their houses, they might dismiss the
tear of lightning from their minds, SO far
as 1t is thing of reason and not of i'm
preston.
A good lightning rod is one that is
thick enough to carry good charge of
electricity, not less than three-fourths of
an inch in diameter, which has a point
above each chamber or pinnacle of the
roof, joining the main rod by curves, not
angles, and running into the ground down
to permanently soft soil. 1t should be
held by glass insulators fixed in blocks of
wood, held to the house by wooden pegs,
not spiked to the wall, to give possible
connection with the interior. Any black
smith can put up rod which will be a
perfect protection, and should not cost
over $12 for house forty feet square and
two stories high When accidents hap
pen to house with lightning rods, it is
because the rod is too small, or not right
ly attached, OF the ground connection is
not good. The ignorance and careless

fatal to such exact conditions as insure
safety from lightning.
It was exemplified in the case of a
friend, who afraid Of LIGHTNING, slept
half the summer in newly-lented house
with stout rod, till one day, happening
to look at the ground connection he found
it rusted in two just above the sod, and a
hundred times more dangerous than no
rod at all.
So far from lightning being danger
most difficult to avoid, it has very simple
laws, and may be entirely guarded
against by proper conductors. Witness
the British navy, which met 500 disasters
year by lightning till ships were provi-
ded with conductors, by which the fatal
tiles were reduced to fifty, ameng ships
in the tropics, exposed to violent storms,
and these may be fairly charged to care
lessness in regard to the conductors.
