Premature Education.

Most of our leading minds, in the
various departments of activity, origi-
nate in the rural districts. The cities
and large towns furnish very few in
proportion to the population. The fact
has been explained by the purer air,
simpler habits, and harder life, which
characterize the country. But we are
inclined to think that our school sys-
tenn is an equally important factor in
the case. In the rural districts it is
impossible to attend at a very early
age, partly because the schools are
not adapted to them, and partly because
inconvenience of distance, bad roads
and inclement weather. Moreover,
there are generally only two terms, a
shorter in summer and a longer in
winter, the latter being largely attended
many of whom become themselves
teachers. There is, take the year
through, time enough for all sorts of
rural sports and diversions. Play,
work and study are duly interchanged.
1t is well-nigh impossible to push the
brain at the expense of the muscles.
The result is that nerve-force is ex-
pended in laying solid foundations for
the superstructure of the mind and
body.
In our cities education begins almost
with babyhood, and is kept up, with
only brief vacations, to very manhood
and W omanhood.
Nothing is worse than this unremit-
ting employment of the brain in child
hood, and during the period of youth.
At least, it doesn't give US the men that
rule the world.

How Artemus ward Got Revenge.

OF Charles F. Browne (Artemus
Ward), the Cleveland Voice says, that
once at Vincennes, Ind, where he had
been lecturing, che was grossly insulted
by very consequential depot baggage
master. This fellow, out of desire to
show his authority, had used him very
roughly on some trifing pretext.
Browne meditated, and walked up
and down the platform of the depot for
fully fifteen minutes in deep study.
Suddenly basket of eggs attracted his
attention, and he bought about dozen
of them. He put three or four of them
in his own pockets, and gave as many to
two friends who were with him. Then
he took them into the baggage car and
awaited his opportunity. In a few
minutes the train began to move and
Immediately Browne and his friends
made target of that man, the first egg
striking him on the nose, and the others
decorating him at irregular intervals.
One of the persons who saw the occur
renee says that the look on the baggage
face as the shower of eggs
came upon him was indescribable.
Browne was in his happiest mood for the
remainder of his trip, and appeared en-
tirely satisfied with his revenge"

after patient experiments with his nose,
proved that organ to be the seat of his
soul. " My researches" says the pro-
lessor, shave assured me that the seat
of the immortal part of man is his nose,
More than this, can by going into
room, tell at once by shifting whether
those who were last in it were sad or

nose brings the great theory which he
has developed from the diagnosis down
to the practical matter of the noses as the
organ of smell and he shows how diff
ferent doors produce different emotions
and aspirations of the soul-impulses to-
ward love, hate, laughter, grief, relig-
ion, trade, patriotism, or dinner. Thus
through the nose we may mold the char
acter and reach the soul DIR. JAEGER
has constructed instruments for regis
tering the wave motion of smells on the
nose or soul, and showed his audience,
in a recent lecture on the blackboard,
the curves taken by the scent atoms
when striking on the soul nerves. FL

The MagniphOne-A New Invention.

!
| ICape Vincent Eagle.l
| For many years Mr. George McPher-
! son of this village has been a scientific
student, and great portion of his time,
when not engaged in his daily vocation,
has been occupied with scientific ex-
periments. By these experiments, Mr..
| Mcpherson has invented and applied
for patent on an invention which he
has very properly called the "Magni-
| phone" The instrument increases and
magnifes sound, but to what extent is
not known as yet. 1t is easily applied
to the telephone. It is generally known
that the cause of sound is the vibrations
of the diaphram and that these vibra-
tons are caused by variations in the
tension on the diaphram, il the acoustic,
by the wire that attaches them, in the
magnetic by the variations in the
strength of the magnet. But it is not
so generally known that these vibrations
are a secondary cause. The real cause
is the working of the fiber of the metal.
So the more you cramp or buckle the
diaphram the more sound there is:
therefore, by having a heavy tension
and then vibrating the diaphram, it
would cause more working of the metal
niphone is constructed on this plan. It
is made, first, of circular rim with up.
per surface grooved; then the diaphram
is drawn over this rim and bent down
and fastened there. Then a second
rim is placed directly over this groove
and fastened firmly with screws, which
presses the diapnram into the groove
and thus makes the tension. The in
strument is not round but ellipticaI or
egg shaped, in which it is far better as a
receiving telephone. For a transmitter
the round form is equally as good. The
wire is put through the small end and
the vibrations run of the other end,
thereby causing more movement of the
metal, the same as a hammer to a piano
is placed at one end of the wire. The
instrument can be put to a great many
uses for all kinds of telephones, for a
phOnOgraph, telegraph sounder, sounder
for all kinds of musical instruments,
and is particularly adapted to violin or
piano. 1t may seem improbable, but
Mr.. Mcpherson, by actual test, has
found that, when applied to piano,
that instrument can be made to talk.
Mr.. Mcpherson is very sanguine that
it is a success, and by what we have seen
by its description, we are inclined to be- |
lieve he is right. The only wonder to
us is that, it being so simple in its con-
struction, it has not been discovered |
before.

SerYia's Ruler.

Prince Milan Obrenovich, the reign
ing sovereign of Servia, is said to be a
strong believer in the Divine Right
theory, exacting from all who surround
him the most slavish subservience, and
feeling no difference between a Minister
of State and court footman, as far as
concerns the measure of servility they
owe to him. DR.. Ristich, the Servian
Premier, it is also said, does not hold
the same opinions, and at his Highness'
tea-parties sometimes argues in favor of
the Inherent rights of man. On one of
these occasions the Prince became
greatly excited, and addressing his
Prime Minister, theoretically ex-
claimed; " Ristich, if l order you to
jump into the sea you will certainly
plunge in, head foremost" DR.. Ristich
bowed respectfully and moved away to-
ward the door. "Wither are you going,
Ristich p inquired his Highness, bend
ing his brows ID displeasure. "Your
Highness will pardon me, replied the
astute statesman, " I am going to learn
how to swim"

Pear Blight.

" 1t is generally conceded that pear
blight is caused by a minute fungus
which developes in the bark and pene-
trates inwardiy, destroying the cell struc-
ture as it proceeds. Trees should be
washed annually with pure linseed oil,
kill a fungoid spore without injury to
the bark
Sometimes pears crack. As a remedy,
dissolve copperas in water and sprinkle
the solution freely around the roots of
the trees. 1t will not only prevent the
fruit from cracking, butt will increase
the vigor of the tree.

TO RECooK COLD TURKEY.


In getting ready for spring vegetables,
remember they require rich food, and
you must put on the manure. A rank,
rich growth is what makes vegetables
tender and they o2nnqt a haye s gFoT esn
necessary. Asparagus beds may have
the soil slightly raked from them it al
lows the sun to get to the roots earlier,
and the crop is forwarded thereby. If
the bed is poor dress it with guano or
superphosphate. Poor ground will not
make asparagus.

TO COOK YOUNG AND OLD BIRDS.

Old pou try may be made tender and
savOry by the following method: Soak
it in cold water with handful or two of
ashes thrown in for twenty-fOur hours !;
pick off the feathers ard let it hang Tor
twenty-four hours longer. Then let it
boil for a quarter of an hour in veal
broth or water; take it out, lard snd
bake it; when nea ly done haste with
hot butter. By this method the favor
of young chicken may be impaired to
an old fowl. Poultry of all kinds
requires thorough cooking, as when I'M
derdOneit is tasteless. A turkey weigh
ing eight pounds should be baked three
hours and basted every ten or fifteen
minutes with its own drippings and with
melted butter If proper care is tax n
in dressing poultry twill not need wash
ing. Awet cloth may be used to wipe
it clean if neces. airy, but soaking it in
water takes out the flavor. Young
poultry may be known by having smooth
legs and supple feet If the legs are.
rouQh and The feet are stiff, the poultry
is old or stale.

TO BAKE A TURKEY.

After it is dressed, salt and pepper it

meat chestnuts may be added. They are
put overthe fire in a sauce pan to burst
the skins, then boiled in salt water. Or,
whole oysters, we'll seasoned, may be
added to the stufing. Truffies are also
used. A couple of eggs added to any
stuffing improves it. Boiled, mashed and
seasoned Irish or sweet potatoes are also
used for turkey stuffing. When stuffed,
tie it in shape, lard the top or lay slices
of bacon over it, wet the SKIN and sprin-
kle itwell with salt, pepper and -four
Have the oven not very hot till the tur-
key gets heated through, then increase
the heat. While the fowl is cooking boil
the giblets, neck, iverand sweet bread
chop them fine, and when the gravy is,
made add them to it. Tomake the gravey
after the turkey is removed from the
baking pan put the pan over the fir

stir in boiling water or stock; skim off
every bit of fat add the giblets, season
with salt and pepper. If chestnuts are
used in the stufflng, add them also to the
gravy. Oyster stuffing should be used
Just before the turkey is baked; with
other stuffing it is well to let it remain
number of hours before cooking that its I
flavor may permeate the bird. Turkey |
is served with cranberry Jelly or with |
