Cut the lemons in quarters-not entire ly
apart-and put a tea-spoonful of salt in
each one; put them where they will dry,
either in the hot sun or by the stove, when
they are dried so that they are black, and
look good for nothing, prepare the vinegar
with cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger-root,
onion and little mustard-seed, and pour it
boiling hot over the lemons; keep year be-

posed of negroes, it is supposed tina the
hereditary affinity, if l may use the ex.
preston, which has been observed by
Cuvier and other naturalists to exist be-
tween the descendants of men and
animals natives of the same country,
may have some influence upon the sue
cess of the scheme. Major Bryce will
furnish the ostriches at $3.50 each, not
to be paid until the mount has proved
satisfactory for at least a year. As the
ostrich remains vigorous up to its TWEEN
ty-ffth year, he estimates that they
will stand, at a low average, ten years
of active service.
L need not enlarge on the moral effect
which the appearance of a regiment of
ostrich cavalry would produce upon the
hostile sayages of the plains, or even
upon the more civilized Mexicans.
Major Bryce, with the b~luntness of an
old soldier, says, sDamme sir; it would
be prodigious," and I have no doubt
that it would. At all events, the sue
cess of ostrich farming as an industry
in this country is assured, and the pro-
gress of this novel military experiment
will be watched with interest by the
skeptical (among whom must be classed
the majority of cavalry officers who
have been informed of the ~project), as
well as by the believers who have come
within the reach of the persuasive elo-
quence of the enthusiastic major.
We feel obliged to enroll ourselves
amongst the skeptics, in this matter;
but it is a wonderful age that we live
in, and who shall say that before many
years some Of the graduates of the
military academy may not be assigned
to the First Ostrichesp Meanwhile, we
cannot doubt what is claimed for the
moral effect of a regiment of ostrich
cavalry, o shall WI dispute the blunt
ness of the old soldier who says, ''Dam-
me, sir, it would be prodigious"-Army

OsTRICHEs FOR CAVALRY.
Amusing Test-Mounting Cavalrymen on
0striches.


During the past dozen years a good
many novelties have been proposed,
and some executed, for making the
cavalry arm something different from
what it was of yore. The most astound
ing change yet suggested, however, is
II mentioned in a letter which Mr.
PHI. E. Strauss writes from Washing
ton to the New York Sun of Sum
day.
1t seems that Mr.. Strauss, four years
ago, passed some days OF the six-thou-
sand-acre sheep ranch of Major ]. Cor
don Bryce formerly of the Fifth Fusi-
Tiers of the British Army, lea Las
Cucharas, New Mexico. He found
that Maj. Bryce had ordered as an ex-
pertinent, for breeding, ten pair of os-
triches from the Cape of Good Hope,
where he had once served. The os-
triches duly arrived, or all but two that
died on the passage, and Major Bryce
put in operation an incubator of his
own devising. Last winter, Mr.. Strauss
met Major Bryce again, this time in
Washington.
He informed me that his expectations
with regard to the incubator had been
fully r~ealized-that thus far he had
saved ninety-five per cent. of the eggs,
and that the birds, of which he now
had III, were all in good condition, and
as contented as they could possibly be
on the table lands of Africa or the PAM
pas of Patagonia. 1t will be remem-
bered that a board of distinguished
army officers, among whom were Gen.
Miles and other well-known Indian
fighters, was then in session here to de-
termine several points of army equip
ment. Gen. Ed. Hatch, Colonel of the
9th cavalry (colored), stationed in New
Mexico and Texas, a personal friend of
Major Bryce, vas also here at the same
time, though not a member of the
board. The scheme wa laid before
the secretary Of war, and these officers
were called in informal consultation tc
give their opinions. What these were
is of course not known, but it is pre-.
sumed that some of them at least were
favorable, since Mr.. McCarry, who was
much struck with the originality of the
plan, las decided to give it a trial, and
as it will probably he put in practical
operation before the summer closes,
Major Bryce, who is again in Washing
ton, has consented to have it made
public. Briefly, the plan of Majol
Bryce proposes. the substitution of os
triches for horses in the cavalry service
on the plains. BY the substitution o.
ostriches for horses and adopting, per
haps, the Indian fashion of leading an
extra bird for relief, Major Bryce think
that our cavalry could dispense entirel.
with forage trains, and could march a
far and as fast as the Indians, crossing
the .Jornadade la murete or the ''bat
landsn of Dakota, with no more supple
of food and drink than each man
haversack and canteen would carry.
1t is understood that secretary Nc
Crazy will commence the experiment b
modnting a company Of the 9th cavalr
at Major Bryce's ranch. In the frs
place, this regiment is stationed COZ
v~eniently for the purpose, and in tn
second place, the regiment being con

MANUFACTURING COLD AIR-SoMETHING New.
The International Refrigerating Company of
Boston have established a branch house in Balti-
more for the purpose of showing what can be done
by an invention of theirs for the production of dry
cold air by artificial means. The workings of this
novel apparatus are described by the Sunday
Ne,cs as follows:
"The machine for producing the cold is simple
in construction and requires but little power or
space and has the advantage of storing away sufi-
cent cold to allow of the stoppage of the machine
for ten or twelve hours and keeping an even tenn
perature at all times This is, of course, of great
benefit and also an economical arrangement. The
fitting up of the machinery and building shows an
intimate knowledge of the business, while the air
of the cold storage is cold and as pure as
the atmosphere of a high mountain The charge
of refrgerant necessary for the machine is scarce
ly two gallons, and it is continuously liquied and
evaporized without perceptible loss, and the gas
refrigerant used being Of itself powerful fire.
annihilator removes the principal objection to the
use of these machines heretofore existing.
"The marked superiority of the process over
that of the use Of ice is first, in the cost, and
second, in the production of dry cold. The air
is entirely freed from moisture and rendered anhy
drous, while the cold produced by the melting of
ice is always supersaturated with moisture. This
moisture absorbs gases and impurities and depos-
its itself upon the articles intended for preserva
ton.
"What n boon it will be when churches, theatres
and halls can be cooled to 65 degrees Fahrenheit!
While to fever-strcken patients what can be more
life-giving in hot weather than cool ward at As
degrees! This machine will work equally as well
on shipboard as on shore, and great results are
anticipated when it is once introduced. By its
means whole cargoes of Maryland produce-such
as peaches, oysters, tomatoes, green corn, ETC.
can be laid down in London direct, where there is
market for all that can be shipped"

THE RYE QUESTION.
0TTppFR ENn0 Inn

"UPPER END" June II, 1879.
Messrs. Editors The Journal of a late date
stated that the farmers of the Clipper End" were
hauling their rye to the distiery and having it
made into whisky, &C., and in your issue of the
week following, referring to the Journals state
ment, you direct the attention of the temperance
folks to the people of the rural districts and say
you "fear they are fast going to the bad" I am
temperance man and have on hand rs or 80
bushels of rye which L wish to dispose of and 1
would like the UNION Tor the Journal either to
tell where l can sell it so that / will not break
my pledge. If haul it to the distillery 1 know
it will be made into whisky. If haul it to Bal
timore it may be used for the same purpose.
Would it be better to haul it to the city and lose
two days ON the trip, or deliver it near home and
lose but one day If you or your neighbor will
guarantee that if haul the rye to Baltimore it
will not be made into whisky, 1, as temperance
man, will do it even if it does cause me loss.
Hope you viii answer in your next issue.
EARNEST.
Lets see, how will we answer your question.
Well we reckon you had better keep the rye ut
home until next winter when you can have it
ground and after carrying 1t to the city you will
have no difficulty in selling it to some unsuspect-
ing person for buckwheat meal. Strictly speak
ing, that might not be altogether honest but then
you would not be violating your pledge as tenn
perance man.-EDs, USIoS.J

REDUCTION OF SALARIEs.-Under this head the
Hagerstown Herald and Torch of 18th inst says
at will be seen by reference to the Educational
Department that the Board of County School Com
missioners have made an average reduction of ten
per cent in the salaries of teachers and of twenty
per cent. in the salary of the Examiner. 1t may
seem q little unpleasant for all affected by the re-
duction to adjust themselves to the change, but a
little reflection will enable all to appreciate the
reasons as stated. The receipts from the State
School Tax have considerably fallen off and so re-
dueed the revenues as to make one of three things
necessary reduce the number of schools, reduce
the salaries, or add shool debt to the county,
The county has recently paid off heavy school
debt of some $685. 900 or $50, 900, and the people
are not prepared for another. That is out of the
question. The number of schools are not too
many, and few would like to have them reduced
The only alternative then is reduction of salaries
in order that the expenses may come within the
revenues. Under the circumstances, therefore, we
think the School Commissioners have exercised
the prudence which the necessities of the case de-
manded, and have shown q laudable desire to
make the county school expenses correspond with
the revenues. Inasmuch as there has been
general decline In prices and the cost of living has
SO materially diminished we feel sure that the ac
ton Of the Board will be regarded in the proper
light by those directly affected, and will meet with
Just recognition by the people"
This plan of reducing salaries may be all well
enough, but we think the Topping off ought to
commence first with those who receive the largest
salaries and perform the least work. In Baltimore
county the Secretary and Examiner receives a
salary of fifteen or eighteen hundred dollars and
the Assistant Examiner one thousand dollars
The work performed now by these two gentlemen
OF twelve hundred dollars per year. Nearly
everything has now been reduced to the figures Of
ante bellum days and people who are taxed to pay
salaries demand that they also be reduced in pro-
portion to other things.
