WASHING Clothes.


For family of six, cut into thin
shavings one and one halt pounds
of good bar soap, and dissolve it in
pail Of boiling water. Rather
more than half fill two tubs with
warm water, and add pail of hot
suds-half each. Put the clothes
in for twenty-four hours soak

themselves. The following morn

An Tnebriate Asylum for Women.

A liberal subscription has been
started, and $4,000 raised already
towards the construction at Wilton,
Connecticut, (whe-e a good-sized
farm has already been set apart for
the.purpose) of an ipebriate asylum
for women. Melancholy as the
fact seems it nevertheless is fact
that there is a largely increasing
class of women in this country who
not only intoxicate themselves ha-
bitually on opium, but portion of
whom indulge to excess in spiritu-
Gus liquors also. There have been
recently a number Of distressing ca
SEES of exposure of ladies guilty of
these Illuminating vices, and it is
probable that good many families
Of well-to-do people have skeletons
of this sort ID their closets. The
proposed asylum is to meet just
such cases as this; to furnisl. re-
spectacle, secluded retreat where a
woman of good connections and
otherwise decent conduct may have
a chance to break off from the hab-
1t which most demoralizes her sex.

AND USEFUL DEPORTATION.
THE COLOSSUS OF ROADS.
A Colt That Measures Ten Feet
from His Shoes to the
Tips Of His Ears.

COLOSSUS is the name that has
been given to what is, so far as has
been discovered, the largest horse
in the world: says the New York
San. The animal has just been
brought to that city from Buffalo.
Colossus is twenty-five hands
high, anu a man, to be able to stand
on the ground and look over the
highest part of his back, would
have to be about seven and one
half feet tall, or like Chang, the
Chinese giant. When he is in Lar
ness and checked up, his ear tips
are ten feet above the level of his
shoes. This mammoth horse was
born in Erie county, Ohio His
sire was below the medium size,
weighing about 1900 pounds. His
dam was very small weighing, it is
said, only $50 pounds. Thus Co.
lossus' father and mother together
weighed $3.50 pounds, while their
son alone, when In good condition,
weighs $500 pounds. When four
years old Cleveland coal dealer
bought the colt, thinking he would
do exceedingly well in hauling
heavily-laden coal carts up and
down the streets of that city,, But
almost the first time that this indlg-
nifty was attempted Oh him the
monster colt ran away with the
load of coal, and in crossing a
BRUCE broke it down and tumbled
through. In this accident he re
ceived severe injury to one of his
hind legs, from which he has never
fully recovered. After several
more efforts to make the animal
earn his living BY hard work, he
was given up as good-for-nothiDg,
and sold at a low price to q man
living near Dunkirk, in this state.
This man failed in business, wheth-
er it was on account of his being
the owner of so much dead weight
in olossus or not, is at present un-
known. A hired man had a claim
against the owner of the horse AMI
a mortgage on the horse himself.
To satisfy this claim as far as pos
SlUlC InS uOlSS Was OnSI60 lOT Sd1e
at auction. TIE hired man bid on
him and got him for $85. This
man immediately set about to do
with him what nature had evidently
him for. He made a
show out of him, travelled all
Ohio with him, and made
much money.
q In October last Colossus fell sick,
and the owner, fearing be was go
ing TO die, sold him at q low price
to a Buffalo man. Colossus suffer
ed a good deal in his journey from
and is now in stable in
Houston street, eating his three
pecks Of oats a day and doing moth
ng, 1sssge sss
The little hired man who former
srly owned him is still retained to
AXE care of him. His work con-
'ists mainly in getting up each
morning at 4 O'Clock and taking
Colossus out for a five mile walk.
In these early morning rounds the
animal excites the wonder, some
lines the fear, OF such persons as
ire obliged to be out at that hour.
sober men wonder why SO small
md delicate a man should walk
when he has such giant of horse
o ride.

A whole aftera Don of the recent
convention at Lansing, of the Mich
igan Sheep breeders and Wool
growers Association was given up
to a debate on the question of
washing sheep, and the result was
an almost unanimous verdict to the
effect that the practice is not only
useless and barbarous but unprofit-
able, taking into account the often
fatal effect on fine animals thus
shocked by being forced into the
water.

Slovenly work does not pay. See,
then, that the work of the pillow and
hoe is done thoroughly.
Never work with dull tools, for
they require too great an outlay of
strength, both of man and beast.
A tract of $4,000 acres on the
Northern Pacific railroad has been

Ireland.
Hog cholera in a strange and
most maligant form has broken out
among the swine of farmers in the
vicinity of Oconomowoe, Wis. One
large stock raiser in Summit lost
nearly 100 fine hogs in less than
two weeks by means of the epidemic.
Gen. Grant says he was shown a
piece of land In China which has
been under cultivation every year
for 5000 years without deterioration
of the soil. This result is effected
by returning to the soil everything
taken from 1t that is not consumed.
Here, then, is the secret of the re-
markable richness of Chinese soil.
