earnestly inquired if there was Son of
Malta about the place, and was recon-
mended TO Bljah. When the old janitor
came in the prisoner uttered three dis
tinct coughs, and drew down his right
eye.
"What's the matter with you ?''
growled the old man, who never saw a
Son of Malta as he knows of.
The prisoner then whispered in a
peculiar manner, pinched his right ear,
and whispered, 1.-The valley is dark

All night long the prisoner was cal

not, and when morning came he tried
new dodge. After coming before the
bar, and indulging in unbounded as
tonishment at the sight of the Court, he
cried out:

piled that he didn't know, but would
look in the city directory and see.

Improred Platform Scdle.-A platform
scale in constant equilibrium has been
invented in France. On a stand next
to the platform are placed the register
ing cylinder, the clOckwork, which
rOtates slowly, and the double wheel
work, which determine the state OF
constant equilibrium. The principle
by which the equilibrium is restored,
as soon as it has been disturbed by some
cause or other. is this: If there be
placed on an ordinary balance glass
full of water, counterbalanced by a
weight, and if there be dipped into that
glass a mass, whatever it may be, hang
ing from thread, the equilibrium will
be destroyed,-in proportion as the
plunger penetrates more or less into
the liquid, it will more or less disturb
the equilibrium. 1t is such plunger
that has been resorted to to establish the
state of constant equilibrium on the
platform scale in question. Under the
little platform of the instrument Is a
cylindrical vase, three-fourths filled
with water, and cylindrical plunger.
of which the supporting thread Is rolled
over a pulley, is lowered or hoisted by
the wheels of the pulley as soon as the
large platform experiences any aug
mentation or diminutiOn of weight.
The equilibrium restores itself imme-
diately, and the motions of the pulley
transmitted to a lead pencil, which pas
ses over the surface of the registering
cylinder, leaving on the unrolled paper
traces of all its movements.

DOMESTIC.

THE SPARE BED. - Almost every
family has spare bed. 1t is generally
in spare room, remote from the living
room, where it would never feel the
influence of any fire that would usually
be kindled; or in a chamber with no
arrangement for warming it in winter.
Into this spare room and spare bed
company are put, frequently without
the least thought that there is the
slightest danger of injuring their
guests. This is done with the kindest
intentions, out of respect for their
friends, who they wish might enjoy
the best they have. Strong, healthy
persons, in the vigor of life, might not
experience any serious inconvenience.
Not so the feeble or aged. Many under
these circumstances have taken a cold
that has brought on severe cough,
sometimes congestion of the lungs, and
even death itself. IT ought to be known
that an unoccupied bed in cold room
in winter not only becomes cold, but
also gathers moisture. and is dangerous
TO the most robust and healthy, but es-
pecially so the aged and infirm. None
are more exposed to this danger than
the ministers who preach with two or
more churches alternately. Sometimes
they arrive at the house where they in
tend to spend the night late in the day,
thoroughly fatigued and chilled; or at
the close of the labors of the Sabbath
are completely prostrated. In either
case the system requires rest and COM
fort, and is in poor condition to be
taxed with an extra effort to keep up
animal heat in a cold, damp bed, and
the result is sleepless night, cold
and hoarseness in the morning, pro-
tracted cough, congestion or consump-
ton and death. These dangers are
easily remedied. The least trouble,
perhaps, where it can be done, is to
kindle fire in the room or in an adj
joining room, and open the bed an
hour or two before it is occupied; or it
may be warmed by hot soap-stone,
BOTTLES of hot water, or the Old-fash-
ioned "warming-pan," or by applying
heat in any way that thoughtful
woman can find out. Extra quilts and
comforters will add no protection. The
cold and dampness and dangers are in
the bed.

In the new process of milling which
has come into use with such remarkable
results, heating the wheat previous to
grinding is an indispensable operation; ;
but artificial means have of course to be
resorted to, in order to force the condi-
tions and thus prepare the wheat for
milling. Several modes of forcing suoh
conditions have been devised, one of
which is that of passing the wheat over
a coil of pipe or corrugated cylinder, in
the interior of which steam is applied.
The application of the heat is recon-
mended just before the wheat enters
the millstones, separate heater being
used for each pair of stones. The result
of this arrangement and operation is
found to be the driving of the moisture
contained in the inner substance of the
wheat more or less into the bran, which
is thus tOughened, while the flour is
left to dry, its color being improved,
and its condition more favorable for
packing and shipping.

Protecting TREES FROM ANNALS
Many years ago, when we employed
swine TO clear our fruit garden of the
curculio and other insects, we found
no difficulty in protecting young or
smooth-barked trees from their attacks
by tying around the stems a few
branches off the sweet brier. The ami
mails had a special dislike to the sharp
prickles. The trimmings of Usage
hedges might answer as well. Coarse
wire netting would be neater in ap-
pearance, and if dipped in oil or cover
ed with paint would not rust. An Eng
lish planter adopts another mode. He
plants a thorn bush at the base of each
free as it is set out, and finds these an
efficient guard against cattle.

liarly adapted to the many ills the sex

and fever, indigestion or deranged
liver, constant or periodical sick head
aches, weakness in the back or kidneys,
pain in the shoulders and different parts
of the body, feeling of lassitude and
dependency, are all readily removed
by these Bitters.

AGRICULTURE.

MuKING.-One would think that the
subject of milking is sufficiently well
understood at the present time without
any further instructions with reference
to it, but never was there a greater
mistake made. Hundreds of dairymen
begin to complain that their cows are
d. wing up early while they have good
feed and plenty of it. We were talk
ing with one of the leading dairymen
with reference to the matter, the other
day, and his opinion coincided with
ours in this respect, and ne claimed
that more cows were spoiled by being
improperly handled than by poor food.
To get the greatest yield of milk the
cows should be MIXED regularly, quiet
ly and thoroughly, yet quickly. Gen
orally speaking, twice day is often
enough, but there are cases when it be-
comes necessary TO milk three times,
but these are comparatively rare. AT
six O'Clock, morning and evening, is as
near the right time, all things consid-
cred, as any. Milking should be done
quietly, without any seolding or kick.
ing or otherwise hurting or exciting
the animal, and she will then habitu,
ally come gladly for the operation,
stand quietly and let down her full
flow. 1t should be done thoroughly,
as nearly as possible always by the
same person. There is a great differ
ence in mixers; some will get the last
drop, while others will leave the rich
est part in the udder. 1t has been
proved to the satisfaction of all good
dairymen that the strippings will yield
from ten TO twenty per cent. more
cream than the rest of the milk; how
important it is then that the COW should
be milked clean. Besides, if she is not
made to yield all that she has daily,
she will dry up sooner. and gradually
fail in the quantity until 1t decreases
perceptibly. Cows should never be
hurriedly driven to and from the pas
ture as it agitates and heats the milk,
if before milking, and tends TO make
them wild after the milk has been
drawn. We had an opportunity of
seeing the results of change in the
management of cows on Pleasant View
Farm short time ago. The proprie-
tor, Mr.. Southworth, met with severe
accident, which confined him TO the
house for nearly a week, during which
time strangers were employed 20 attend
the cows. and, although they were
treated kindly, still it was different
from their usual treatment, and the
milk pail showed a much smaller yield,
and the cows themselves became rest
less and refused to ''give down" as
formerly, although, as before stated,
they were treated with the greatest
kindness and MIXED by experienced
ha ods Ruf when he WAS able 70 come
to the barn again, the cows soon filled
the pals as usual, and that, too, with
no change OF food.

SCRATCHES IN HoRsEs.-A writer in
the atlantic Constitution says a very
good remedy is to keep the lower part
of the leg washed clean with CASTLE
soap, and apply a mixture of lard and
gun-powder. Another is 10 wash the
sores thoroughly with warm water and
castle soap, then rinse off with clean
water; after this rub dry with cloth.
Then CRATE some carrots and bind them
on the sores. Repeat this every day
for four or five days.

MR. A. TLDEN, of Morris, Ills,
writes to the National Lire Stock Journal
as follows in regard to spaying heifers
ave spay when the calf is from three
days to three weeks old. We cut a
slit, about one and half inches in
lepgth, just forward of the bag. This
is more convenient than in the side
do not think there is any more risk to
run in spayIng heifer at that age than
I'm castrating bull calfof the same age ;
in fact, in my calves, the heifers do
not mind the operation so much as the
bulls after the second day. Sew up
with stitching through the hide and
all that you cut through, using deep
stitches like letter X.'

REGARDING borers in peach trees
says the Country Gentleman, it is useful
to heap a peck of dry Stacked lime
about the peach trees after the grubs
had been picked out and before the
earth is drawn back to the tree. The
lime kills any grubs that may be LETT.
If live grub is thrown into the dry
lime it will soon die; this may be tried
to satisfy any inquiring mind. Having
used lime in this way in 1877, the writ
er found no borers at all in his trees in
1873, and therefore has confidence in
this means of repressing the depreda-
tiOns of this pest.
