BAD F1AvoRED EaGs.-Speaking oi
i'll flavor of eggs the Journal Of Horti-
culture, London, remarks that it is the
result of one or two causes-either the
food on which the fowls are fed, or the
substance on which the eggs are laid,
and adds:
This may be easily tested by shutting
up lay ing hen, and giving her garlic
or melted barley to eat. In few days
the eggs will taste of the food, We
have tried this ourselves, and know it
to be correct. Another theory is-but
we cannot speak of it with the same
certainty-that an egg laid on any
strong smelling substance will contract
it. This is explained by the fact that
the shell, when the egg is first laid is
comparatively soft and impressionable,
and only hard after contact with the at
mosphere. Let your birds be whole
somely fed on plain food, and your
nests be made with clear straw. Hay
nests have tendency to make eggs
taste. Follow nature and you will have
to complain of.

ben, showing his passport and the dis
patches to the Admiral of the Russian
fleet. Though subjected to the most
intensely scrutinous cross examination,
ne stuck to his pseudo nativity and his
story, without change of feature or a
flaw in his assured veracity.
As last resort the presiding officer
told the interpreter to ask Leckinski il
he loved the Spaniards. The question
was put.
Certainly" said Leckinski. "I am
fond of the Spanish nation. I esteem
it for its nobility, and trust that my
nation and it will be friends"
Colonel" said the interpreter In
French, the prisoner says he hates us
because we are bandits. He despises
us, and if delivered will do his utmost
against u.s."
1t was q cunning trick. All eyes
were fixed upon Leckinski to discover
the least shadow of intelligence of the
words. But it failed. Unbaf1ed, he
kept the same dead-mask of ignorance
upon his face not feature moved, nor
did he offer the least gesture. This
ended his terrible trial. He was re-
leased, and his arms and dispatches
returned. Under safe transport he
reached the Admiral and fulfilled his
mission.

An Extraordinary Suicide.

An extraordinary suicide is reported
to have occurred at the town of Jhito-
mir, in Russia. A well-dressed traveller
arrived at the Hotel de France, of that
place, stating that he was Mr.. Joseph
o., colonial agent. He spent a few
days in walking about the streets. On
the fourth evening he retired to his
room early, and locked himself in.
Next morning he was called at the
usual hour, but made no answer to the
summons. The door was broken open,
when terrible spectacle presented it.
self. Mr.. O.'s body was lying on the
bare bedstead, from which the mattress
and bed-clothes had been removed and
was in state approaching nudity. The
eyes were wide open, fixed in CLASSY
death stare, and the features distorted
with agony the left hand was pressed
tightly upon the region of the heart,
the right hand convulsively clutching
the hair. An oppressive odor, as of
scorched fat, pervaded the room. When
the corpse was turned over, deep and
broad burn was exhibited in the middle
of the back, and the spine was found
to be completely carbonizcd. Upon
the floor underneath the bedstead were
discovered the wicks, embedded in a
little blotch of cold stearine, of three
candles, which had been taken out of
the candle-sticks and fixed upon the
planking. Over the flames of these
candles Mr.. O. had lain upon the skel-
eton work of his bedstead, and suffered
his spine to be slowly consumed until
he died. A manuscript lay upon the
table. It contained a resume of the
reasons which prompted this unfortu-
nate man to undergo self-inficted mar
tyrdom. It was written in four Ian
guages-Grecian, Russian, Polish and
Czechish. The first hand writing was
firm and bold the last few pages were
scarcely legible. The writer stated
that he wished to solve practically the
question whether suicides were cow
ards. He therefore had resolved to
subject himself to atrocious suffering.
He declared his intellect to be perfectly
clear. Additions were from time to
time made to the manuscript. The
victim rose from the bed to write to his
mother and father his last farewell. He
actually put something under the
candles to raise them a little, and re-
corded that the smell of his consuming
flesh annoyed him. The last words
scrawled were: eff could remain
alive, my life should be vowed exclu-
sively to vengeance on her. But 1 am
going to my rest. Be she accursed
with my last breath" There was evi-
lently woman in the case.

Trees and Health.

Everybody knows that trees take the
carbonic acid thrown out in the breath
of men and animals, separate it into its
component parts, carbon and oxygen,
give back the latter to be used over
again, and work up the former into
wood and fruits.
1t is also coming to be generally
understood that forest trees do impor-
tant service in promoting rainfalls, and
in helping to retain the surface water
for springs, streams, and general use.
It is also known that certain species,
planted in malarial localities, help to
render the latter healthy by somehow
using up the deadly miasma.
It would now appear that trees grow
ing near drains carry off the sewage
water.
A gentleman, whose cess-drain was
constructed just like his neighbor's
and in the same kind of soil, had found
it unnecessary to clean it out, while the
others had to be cleaned out frequent
ly.
An examination showed that three
large trees, whose roots had penetrated
into the vicinity of his second, or waste,
cess-pool, were clearly the channels
through which the waste all escaped.
Whether it was changed into plant
food-as is likely17or was exhaled
through the leaves, in either case it was
disposed OF with equal safety.

ITEMS FOR FIELD AND HOUSE,

CHICKEN croquettes - Delmonjco:
Two sweetbreads, boiled; one teacupful
of boiled chicken, hashed; one boiled
onion, one teacupful boiled bread and
milk, quarter pound butter, salt and

very fine, mix in well the other in
gradients, shape into rolls, then dip
in the yolk of an egg, then in cracker
dust; drop into boiling lard and fry

THE superiority of Scotch oatmeal is
said to be partly owing to the grain
being cut rather glazy "-that is, with
a shade of green upon it. Dat straw is
far less nourishing for cattle when the
crop is allowed to stand till it is dead
ripe. Early-cut oats are heavier per
bushel, fairer, and they usually sell for
more money.

der, and indeed it is the purest of all

see that when ages grow to civlity and
elegance, men come to build stately

dening were the greater perfection.
A GOOD remedy for lice on cattle is
water in which potatoes were boiled.
For every one of your cattle take two
quarts of water and eight middle-sized
potatoes cut in half. If you have ten
cattle, you must take eighty potatoes

the potatoes are soft take them out.
Get large sponge and wash the cattle
freely, choosing a warm day. Comb
them with currycomb, and you will
be astonished to see the effects of the
potato water.
