Down In the Well.

A woman who lives in Ashville, Ala. +,
writes to the Egis of that place, of the
miraculous rescue of her three-year-old
boy from drowning. The child fell
down a well, the depth of which was
thirty feet. The mother saw him go
down. She says: "On reaching the
well was just in time to see him rise
to the top of the water. l was alone,
save three other little children whom l
sent for help. / had, amid all the
anguish of my soul, presence of mind
enough to let the bucket down and tell
him to take hold of it, which he did.
After some minutes he let loose, from
weakness, sank again, except his little
head. lowered the bucket lower, tell
ing him to take hold of the rope. He
ran his hand through ring tied on for
the purpose of sinking the bucket and
caught the bail, and there he held on
for one and half hours, begging me
all the time in his baby talk to come
down and help him out. would say:
Hold on, Bobbie.' Il will,' he would
reply. At length lady came to my
assistance, and we took a rope and
made a moose on the end of it, and,
letting it down, told him what to do.
He put his foot through the moose and
drew it up around his knee. 1 asked
him if he could hold on. He said he
could hold on to the bucket 'daw me
out He holding the bucket, the rope
around his leg, l telling him not to let
go, we drew him up until could reach
his little, shivering hands. Thus !
saved my little baby from drowning.
Safe to my breast l clasped his little
shivering body, and praised God for His
mercies."

Curing q Balky Horse.

A correspondent of the Toronto
Globe would cure q balky horse as fol-
lows. II would prepare myself with a
good strap-I want no whip; perhaps
he has got a taste of that already, and
still he is master. But some fine day
when was at peace with myself and
all around, would hitch him to the
buggy, turning his head to the village.
He goes half the way very we'll indeed;
then he begins to consider he has gone
far enough in that direction and stops.
l step down; he expects me to use the
whip. He is mistaken. As q criminal
treat him on the silent system.
push him back a little out of the way.
1 show him the strap, putting it up to
his nose. l go to the off side and
buckle it to his off fore leg, close up to
the breast, throwing the other end over
his shoulder; then raise his near fore
foot and fix it with the hoof nearly
touching the belly. This done, say:
Now, old chap, you stand there !
don't smoke so l take paper from my
pocket, and finding place where l
can sit down and he see me begin to
read. This is something he did not
bargain for, and the novelty of stand
ing on three legs somewhat diverts
his mind from the cause that stopped
him. think this is the chief point to
be gained and the most humane. He
now shows signs of a wish to go, but
that does not suit at the time, as ]
have yet to look over John Caldigate.
When the strap is taken off show il
to him, caress him little, and we
move on without irritation. The strap
viii now become a part of the harness
for a month or two, till at last the
sight of it will act as q talisman."

The Indian Summer.

The delicious season popularity
called Indian summer" usually ap-
pears about the 1st of November in this
latitude. Climatologists tell us that the
area of its geographical extent not only
covers the northern parts of the United
States and Canada, but also the far
northwest. 1t is certainly q very char
acteristic and periodical phenomenon
in all these high American latitudes, as
it is in central Europe, though proba-
bly, in q less marked degree; and there
are reasons for believing that it exerts
its softening influences up to the Arctic
circle. tempering the first waves of
winter cold that descend upon Arctic
America But it does not appear to
lavish its charms on the far south or
lower latitudes of the United States,
where, indeed, they are not so much
needed. Although it is often prolonged
into December, when q calm, hazy at
mosphere fills the sky through which
the sun, shorn of his strength, sinks
day after day, like globe Of fire, the
Indian summer, at the provincial OBJ
servatory in Toronto, Canada, has been
occasionally recorded as early as the 9th
of October. The average date of its
distinct appearance there, deduced
from fourteen years observation, is
October "a.
Search for explanation of this phe-
nomenon has not escaped scientific in
vestigation. As either pole of the earth
is turned toward the sun after the vernal
equinox, the solar effect increases in the
direction of that pole until the thaw OF
the winters accumulated ice sets in,
when an interval of cold occurs.
caused by tho rapid absorption OF

solar heat, and thus the frequent
" cold spells" of the later spring months
have been accounted for. When, on
the contrary, either pole is turned away
from the sun after the autumnal equi-
nox, the converse process takes place;
the higher parts of the continent are
chilled, and the ensuing condensation
of the vapor in the air Gberating its
heat raises the temperature, and thus
an interval of fine and comparatively
warm weather or "second summer"
follows. This simple explanation of
Indian summer first advanced by Ad-
miral Fitzroy, is corroborated by the
fact that the increase of temperature at
tending it is in the higher latitudes of
America, where it is described as some
times "oppressive"-just where, of
course, the earth's crust in October is
undergoing the most rapid refrigera-
ton, where ice is forming and conse-
quently the heat of condens sation is
most freely liberated from the lower at
mospheric strata. The heat generated
by condensation is familiar to all who
reflect on their sensations when q show
er is being formed in the clouds by this
process on sultry day. We're it not
for the comparative dryness of the air
in the interior of the continent, or rath-
er, if it was moist enough at this sea-
son, the cooling of the soil would pro-
duce cloud and rain, instead of the
.dry fog" as Indian summer is tech
nically called. -s
The phenomenon in question has, it
would appear, been more the theme of
poets than of physicists. But, of minor
Importance in a meteorological point of
view as it may seem, its further study
and investigation might furnish clue
to the explanation of some problems of
our climate which are yet unsolved.
The fine particles of dust which often
fall on vessels in the open Atlantic,
near the Cape Verde Islands, when sub
jected TO the microscope, have proved
tallieS on the winds, serving to fix
the direction of the "trade winds" :"
from the African coast, and thus to
clear up one of the great questions OF
ocean meteorology. Many not less
striking examples of seemingly unim-
portant phenomena leading to impor-
tant discoveries abound in the history
of science. We may, therefore, apart
from the consideration of its general
interest, hope that the signal service
will be able to give some attention to
the beautiful feature of our autumnal
weather. 1.-THE explanation of the phe-
nomenon above given holds good, and

Butter Making.

The attention of farmers and dairy
men is particularly called to the notices
of the Gilt-Edge Butter Maker" which
are appearing in this paper from time
to time. 1t Is confidently claimed that
the use of this preparation increases the
amount Of butter from six to ten per
cent; that the flavor is better and q
beautiful color secured; that the time
consumed in churning is greatly short
ened, and that the keeping qualities are
much improved-the natural conse-
quence of all which being that butter
made by it is always in demand at q
handsome advance on the price of the
ordinary article. Judging from the tes-
timonials given, these claims are not
extravagant, and the "Gilt-Edge
should prove valuable acquisition to
every butter maker.

A Russian Romance.

Count Scheremetieff, descendant of
one of the most ancient Boyard fami-
lies, possessed more than 100, 900 male
souls, as serfs were then called in Rus
sia, the women not being counted either
in census or tax lists. Among these
serfs there were many who had been
allowed to go into business for them
selves. Some of these had made fort
unes, others had even become million
aires. The conditions of the Counts
Inheritance forbade his selling any male
serf his freedom. Among this number
there was one who had established him.

great banking house of that city-an
ancient house which had existed under
German control for q century, and was
well known and highly respected in all
the European cities.
The serf who was now at the head OF
the house, felt his humiliating position
very keenly. His sons were excluded
from alliances with families who were
their equals in fortune and education,
for no daughter of these families would
wed slave, even If he were ten times
3 millionaire, as the Russian law COM
pels the wife to accept the social posi-
tion of her husband.
The banker, who had almost de-
SPARED of obtaining his own freedom,
journeyed every year to st. Petersburg
to sue for that of his children. The
freedom Of the daughter was cheerfully
granted, for Count Scheremetief was

motto is noblesse oblige. There are
many such in Russia, the descendants
of the old reigning houses of the EN-

unanimous support to the project Of
Alexander II. for the emancipation OF
the serfs. although the carrying out OF
the measure cost large share Of their
fortunes.
