To make the hens lay, try the effect
of giving them, warm breakfast every
morning. The feed should be corn and
oats ground together, about half and
half Of each. To this add its bulk of
good sweet wheat bran or buckwheat
middlings. When milk is to be had
heat it to boiling, and scald the mess in
a stout wooden vessel, enough for one
feed at once. When milk is not to be
had, use boiling water. Stir the mess
well so as to get it all scalded. Don't
make it too wet or sticky. When cool
enough serve in shallow troughs or
similar vessels. Give as much as will
be eaten up clean. Give as much
broken ovster-shells as the hens will eat.
Suspend a cabbage within easy reach of
the fowls, they will know what to do
with it. Give fresh water an hour or so
after feeding, and at noon a sheaf of
oats or wheat; they will know what to
do with that too. At night give
square meal of whole corn or wheat, and
more fresh water Hens that have this
kind of management and comfortable
quarters will lay. All offal, bits from
the table or the Kitchen should go to
the hens. They like to pick at bones,
bits and crumbs. They like sour milk,
too.--Cor. NeU York Tribune. Il giss

The Polyphemus.

The Polyphemus, now being complet-
ed for commission at Chatham, England,
promises to be a-complete novelty
among offensive iroHclads. She is to be
built entirely of steel, and her deck is to
be covered over with three inch plating
of a convex shape. This convex curva-
ture is continued round her sides some
distance below the water line, after
which her sides. converge toward her
keel, or rather to where her keel should
be in a V shape.n Her midship section
will thus appear the shape of kite, the
convex deck only rising four feet six
inches above her water line. = She is two
hundred and forty feet between perpen-
diculars, the extreme breadth is forty
feet and she will have a load draught Of
twenty feet. The engines are estimated
to work up to five thousand five hun
dred horse power, and to give her a
speed of seventeen knots. What a dan
gerous enemy she will prove is evident
from her speed alone, as her principal
means of OffenSe are a ram or steel
spur and Whitehead torpedoes. Her
form of construction is evidently intend
ed to enable her to escape notice, and,
even when observed, to escape damage
by the detection of shot rather than BY
absolute resistance to such impact.
There is much of interest and impor-
lance in this experiment, for such indeed
it is, the vessel being constructed
after the idea of Sir George Sartorius,
a well known veteran of the navy. We
consider the Polyphemus as one of the
first attempts in construction to foil the
impact of heavy shot by diversion rath-
er than by the probably futile resistance
of a heavy armor plating. Another inn
portant modification has been made i'm
her construction to enable her to bene-
fit to the full extent by the principle of
subdivision into, water-tight compart-
ments, which is particularly carried out
in her design, and on which she must
very largely rely for safety. The modi-
fication is that an enormous mass of
cast iron ballast is carried outside the
vessel in a rectangular groove, one foot
eight inches wide and three feet deep,
situated where her keel should be. This
mass of ballast amounts to 800 tons,
her total displacement being 2,640 tons,
and represents in weight a volume of
rather more than 10000 cubic feet.
This ballast is so arranged that it can
be released from the vessel at will, so
that, should one or more of her water
tight compartments be pierced, the
loose ballast may be dropped from the
part of the Vessel corresponding to the
Hooded compartment The position, or
power of fotation, may thus be retained
undisturbed, even after several compart-
ments may have been pierced. She
carries no masts, except for signal pur-
poses, and her guns are few light shell
and Calling guns on her upper deck

Cosmetics in Butter.

The mass of the people have no idea
of the extent of the artificial coloring of
butter. There is, comparatively speak
ing, no butter sold in this market which
is not so colored. We do not state this
fact for the purpose of alarming the
butter-eating public, for as a rule the
coloring matter used is perfectly harm
less, and if it does not add to the in
trinsic value of the product, it has the
negative merit of not detracting from
the quality. The principal color used
is the seed of the annatto, berry grow
ing extensively in Brazil. 1t is slightly
aromatic, and is entirely harmless when
used pure. 1t imparts the rich golden
color to butter which consumers so much
value, and which SO little pure butter
possesses. When impure annatto is
used it is not the fault of the dairyman,
but of the merchant of whom he pro-
cures it, and as the price of the pure
article is not much above the adulte-
rants, there is little or no incentive to
dishonesty in this particular. The prin-
cipal other coloring matter used is
turmeric, which is also perfectly harm
less.-Neso York american.

test would never come to an end by vic
tory on either side. But the night was
far advanced, and the party broke up.
They all sailed forth; and, leaving the
close room, the candles and the argu-
ments behind them, suddenly found
themselves in the presence of "a most
brilliant starlight night. They all
looked up. Now thought Hunt.
Carlyle is done for; he can have no
answer for that! There he shouted,
'look up there! look at that glorious
harmony, which sings with infinite
voices an eternal song of hope in the
soul of man. r. IN &,

ty remained silent, to hear what he
would say. They began to think he was
silenced at last-he was but mortal.
But out of that silence came few low
toned words in broad Scotch accent.
And who on earth could have antici-
pated what the voice said? Eth, it is a
sad sight
"Hunt sat down on doorstep.
They all laughed, then looked very
thoughtful, then laughed again. Finally
they babe each other goodnight and
betook themselves homeward with slow
and serious pace. There might be some
reason for sadness, too. That brilliant
armament probably-we would rather
say possibly contained infinite worlds,
each full of struggling. and suffering
beings of beings who had to die-for

bright worlds may also be full of graves ;

A Large Consignment Of Silkworms'
Eggs.

A consignment of silkworms' eggs,
filling six cars, and valued at $3.50, 900,
arrived in New York, City December
10, from Yokohama by way of San
Francisco, The eggs were from Japan
csc nurseries, and had been collected
and consigned to silk growers in France
and Italy by their agents at Yokohama.
The route followed was chosen in pre-
ference to that by the Indian Ocean and
the Suez Canal owing to the lower tenn
perature. Great care has always been
necessary by the Indian Ocean route,
and, even when that was exercised, con-
signments were often spoiled by TIE
high temperature in doubling the
southern points of Hindoostan. The
The increased number of transfers
slightly Injuries the.eggs, but the aggre-
gate damage is considerably less by
way of New York than by way of the
Suez Canal. The eggs are packed in
cases measuring three feet in length by
about one foot in width and depth.
Each case contains about 600, 900 eggs,
gummed to strips of cardboard separ-
ated by layers of tissue paper. From
20 to % strips, are placed in each case,
each strip containing from $4,000 to
35 600 eggs. With this simple packing
and with due precautions against naois
ure and high temperstuSe, these deifS
cate structures are transported three
fourths of the distance round the earth
in perfect safety, provided always that
moderately cold fresh air is given free
access to the quarters in which they are
stored. Heat, it is stated, produces an
immediate effect upon the development
of the Larvae, thus rendering it impossi-
BILE to deliver them in good condition
for growing. |
The partial failure of the European
silk crop the past year has made an
unusual demand for Japanese eggs, and
other large consignments are anticipat-
