years after the accident that made tho
acquaintance of the boy, and the bald
patch still remained on the crown of his
head. He was considered rather q
stupid boy, but whether this was natural
or the effect of the lightning seemed
doubtful

was riding across high range Mount
West), when he was overtaken by
thunderstorm; he rec0llected nothing
more. He was found wandering about
in rather stupid state, and could not
well account for his being on foot, or
what had become of his horse. On
search being made in the direction he
was likely to have followed from the
farm, his horse was found on spur of
the range, dead. and his saddle shat
tered to pieces.

vacate the spot immediately and build
elsewhere.

Like Produces Like.

MANY years ago, and in a period Of
our agricultural history when new va
rieties of any farm crop were extreme
~ rare, an observant farmer of Pennsyl-
vania acting on the principle that per-
feet grain could only be insured by u.s.
ing perfect seed, originated superior
variety of wheat, which he named
s'barrel wheat" This he did by hold
ing the sheaves of wheat in his hands
by the butts and beating the tops over
q barrel. The large, plump, perfect
grains would fly out, and none others.
This wheat was used as seed, and the
same practice to procure seed being fol-
lowed a few years produced what
seemed to be q new variety of wheat,
but what was only the result of prac-
teal application Of the natural law of
selecting the fittest. This anecdote is
q practical illustration of using none
but the very best for seed. Unripe,
small potatoes are unfit for seed; neith-
er are overgrown, hollow tubers. The
former are weak and imperfect, the
latter, like all abnormal monsters, I'M
healthy.-KansGs Farmer.

A New Attraction.

The day is coming when some sharp
sighted man will discover that the sum-
mer season is not the season when fam
lilies most desire to leave home for rest
and recreation, and then public atten-
ton will be called to the following:
"WINTER RESORT HorEL.-The undersigned
has opened q hotel on the North Pole plan for
the reception Of guests during the coolest
part of winter. Come and save gas and fuel,
and % to
shovel on the sidewalks here. No frozen
waterpipes-no plumbers. Chillblains un-
known, and froet-bites never heard Of"
For attractions he will advertise
icicles from three to seven feet long, en-
tirely natural in design and constructed
on purely philosophical principles.
There will be q hill and hand-sleds.
There will be q pond so constructed that
boys can be drowned through the new
ice with neatness and dispatch. Skates
will be furnished free of charge, and
prizes offered for the new beginner who
scores twelve bumps the quickest. No
charges made for damages to the ice.
There will be supply Of hot bricks in
every hall for use Of guests with cold
feet. Jugs of hot water furnished free
on application to the Office. Frozen
poultry, toast on ice and iced milk will
be among the table attractions. Snow
balling will be the chief porch amuse-
ments, and boys viii be on hand to teach
left-handed women how to make line
shots. The evenings will be passed in
debates, spelling.schools, playing check
ers, drinking cider and cracking hick-
DRY nuts. Charges moderate. A Their
mometer in every room. Greatest
chance ever offered for lying about the
weather. More snow than can be fur
nished by any rival house. Come and
be convinced. Detroit Free Press.

SALv1NI, the Italian tragedian, has
for many years taken lessons in English
in order to be able to interpret Shakes
peare in the original text, but he says
he despairs of ever playing in English
on the stage.
A GENUINE, live sea serpent has been
captured in the Straits of Deharo, near
the Island of Vancouver. 1t is about
six feet in length. with head like q

animal has been photographed. Its
body will be preserved in spirits and
sent to the Canadian capital.
The death is announced, at the age
of eighty Eight, of the Countess Lucia
Won Wrangel. born Won Bulow, widow
of the deceased Field Marshal of the
same name, who preceded her to the
grave about three years ago. The lady
celebrated her golden wedding in 1860
and her diamond one in 1870-a very
rare achievement even among the ro-
bust and long-lived gentry of Prussia.
In the Countess Won Wrangel the poor,
tho sick and the afflicted OF Berlin lose
one of their most charitable friends.
ALTHOUGH idleness is frequently
fatal to persons of great mental or
physical energy, some workmen still
find their term of existence very short
on account of the deadly nature of their
employment. The average life of q
Sheffield fork-grinder is only 20 years,
but that of q dry-grinder of sickles is SO
years. For every 40, 451 tons of coal
dug up in Prussia the life of one miner
is sacrificed; and in England there IL
one life lost for every SO, 419 tons raised
to the surface.
TIE parish priest Of Montanare, q
village in Upper Italy, was very much
in need of an altar for his church, but
could not induce the male members Of
his flock to contribute to that end. He
then resolved to experiment upon the
softer natures of his female parishion-
ers. Ascending the pulpit after high
mass, one Sunday morning, he c0nclud-
ed an eloquent sermon by exhorting the
women present to devote their hair 70

Thunder Storms in South Africa.

NATAL is an awful country for thun-
der and lightning, writes correspond
emit of Land and Water, and never 3
summer passes without some damage
being done to both man and beast. No
house is considered quite safe without
q conductor. Maritzburg is rather
noted for its thunder-storms, and al
though have seen one or perhaps two
instances of the tall blue gums of the
city that had been scared from head to
foot by the lightning. yet, when it is
considered how numerous they are.
how frequently these thunder-storms
occur, and how awfully near the light
ming approaches, it was astonishing
how few of them had been struck.
From this fact I should say the blue
gum tree offers peculiar attraction to
the electric fluid; though from the
cases mentioned, where the trees had
been scorched but not shivered, they
would seem to have acted as conduc-
tors.
While on the subject of thunder and
lightning, may mention two instances
of the freaks sometimes INDUCED in by
the latter. One happened on board q
ship on voyage to Australia, when
one of the boys standing near the foot
of the mainmast or the main rigging, /
forget which. was knocked down by the
fluid. He remained IN stupefed state
for some little time, but recovered.
The lightning had made bald patch
on the crown of his head, and torn the

The Great Eastern Apple Crop.

OVER 1000 barrels of apples were
shipped from this city to European
ports last week, and from all the ports
of this country outside of New York
10000 barrels more were sent. This
week the shipments from New York
will amount to about $4,000 barrels,
and the other ports will also show in
creased shipments. A dispatch from
Montreal yesterday said that large
shipments of New York State apples
were being made in European vessels
from that port. Last week over 5000
barrels went from Montreal, and this
week several cargoes of apples have
been sent from Charlotte, q port on the
lake near Rochester, to Montreal for
shipment.
Apples which sell in this market for
81 to e1.25 . barrel fetch from $3.50 to
$3.50 in British markets. Liverpool
and Glasgow are now the principal
markets, though Bremen and Hamburg
are taking some shipments. Although
prices are low, the foreign market this
year Is unusually active owing to the
failure of tho crop all over England and
tho Continent. The yield in this coun-
try Is enormous. perhaps the largest
ever known. It Is ''apple year, in
nearly every State in the Union. The
young orchards in Maine and New
Hampshire are loaded down, and the
Boston shippers, who generally come
to New York for their supply, have all
they can handle 1t home. The West
ern markets arc also glutted with the
home supply of apples. In 1873. which
was good apple year, 33s, 900 barrels
of the fruit were sent abroad. This
year it is estimated that SOC, 600 barrels
will be shipped.-M. Z. 8un.

This disease frequently occurs in
young horses that are kept up and fed
upon solid food; caused by an irritation
Of the stomach, and when the lampas
are swollen it is an indication of de-
rangement of the stomach. No ore
will! ever burn lanpas out except through
ignorance, as it spoils the mouth and
often causes a horse forever after) to
slabber his grain. which prevents per-
feet mastication of his food. A change
of diet is indispensable. A knife may
be used to prick the lampas and then
squeeze out little blood. This will
speedily remove local irritation. Icon
tend that weak eyes in young horses
are caused from the unnecessary amount
of grain used. Apply alum, pulverized,
once day, upon the lampas, for three
days, thoroughly rubbed in with the
thumb; use sparingly. For weak eyes
in colts use belladonna I'd trit., and nux
vom. I'd trit., give three grains of each
in one dose, three times day.-C0r.

Tainted Milk.

No fluid--certainly none in common
domestic use-is more susceptible to
"taint'' 4. e., the gathering to itself of
unpleasant and unwholes0me odors)
than milk. The utmost care is neces-
sary to keep it sweet. And yes, in
most households, where milk is only
taken to be used in tea and coffee, az q
beverage for children, and in various
culinary operations. scarcely thought
is given to the proper care of it. What
tho results of such neglect are writer
in Nature thus fore IDLY points out:
A can of milk is received into the
house in the evening, and according to
tradition, commendable as far as it
goes. is at once poured into clean
earthenware Jug; there is no cover, per-
haps, but the vessel is clean. This is

to keep cool and free from faint. Its
companions there are joint or two of
cold meat, Tin its gravy,) few unfur-
nished tarts and blanc-manges, large
bowl of scrap bread, with incipient
fungoid growth two dozen eggs, (not
all fresh, underneath, the cheese; over
head, q jar of onions in pickle; in the
near distance few head of game in an
advanced stage dwell, skeeping,
and last, but not least, q closed win
dow. Now, what is the action
hereuponP A thousand to one, the
temperature of the milk is, when re-
ceived, different from that of the air in
the larder, whether higher or lower.)
Immediately that it comes to rest, the
surface next the air becomes warmed or
cooled, as the case may be, and
by giving place to other portions,
sets up series of gentle currents,
by means of which every part of
the fluid is successfully brought into
contact with the air, and its countless
crowds of butter-corpuscles, containing
fatty matter in high state of subdi-
vision, are enabled to expose the great
est possible extent of surface. Now, it
is scarcely the fault of that milk If in
ten hours time it has failed to lay by
at least a trace of every shade Of efflu-
vium which has had chance Of circu-
lating near it. And yet when the par
donable nastiness of the milk is COM
merted upon at breakfast, there will
not be found wanting some one to ex-
claim, "What can those people feed
their cows onp'
This, with unimportant notifications
TO suit different localities, fairly de-
scribes the mode Of treating this sensi-
tive article Of diet in probably nine
families out Of ten living in towns and
villages. To use milk thus tainted in
the preparation Of the food for adults is
bad enough; but TO give it 70 young
children as beverage, or to infants as
. principal article Of diet, IS simply
wicked.
One Of the large purveyors Of milk in
Philadelphia supplies his customers in
sealed cans, into which the fresh milk
i poured and then tightly sealed up.
Kept in these receptacles until wanted
for use, the milk Is safe from the hor-
rors detailed by Nature. It would be
an excellent thing if city customers
would require all milk dealers to sup
ply them in this way.<E sunsiser and
