He Forgot the Bullet.

1t is but seldom that the comic ele-
ment enters into attempts at suicide. A
diverting exception to this general rule
is afforded by the suicidal enterprise of
a Hungarian engineer, resident at Te-
mesvar, who, being steadfast votary
of Bacchus, had drunk himself into so
unsatisfactory state of mind that q
few days ago he determined to put
at end to his existence. Having provi-
ded himself with pistol, and locked
himself up in private room of hotel
in the town, which apartment he had
specially hired for the purpose, he
pressed the muzzle of the weapon
against his left breast and pulled the
trigger. The usual explosion followed,
and the would-bes suicideA fell to the
ground where he lay patiently for sew
eral minutes, Waiting for death. Dis
solution, however, failing to set in as
promptly as he had expected. he pres
emily arose, left the hotel and walked
home, with a view to dying comforta-
bly, in his own apartment. A little later
on, perplexed by his unaccountable vi
tally, he sent for surgeon to examine
the wound. Beyond a slight scorching
of the skin no injury could be detected;
and, while the surgeon was vainly
searching for mortal hurt his patient
auxiously inquired where the bullet
had lodged?' q fancy" was the re-
ply, that you must have forgotten to
put it into the pistol" Give me my
waistcoat," calculated the intended
self-slayer, and, sure enough, safely en-
sconced in the watch-pocket of that
garment was found the missile with
which he had designed to extinguish
his vital spark. Since this discovery he
has quilted Temesvar, in which town
he found that his rash attempt to kill
himself with charge of powder and
a wad had made him the object OF more
public notice, attended by uncontrolla--
bic hilnrity, than was altogether agree
able to him.-LOndOn Telegraph.

Winter Dairying.

THE better class of livers in the
United States are beginning to de-
mand good fresh butter instead of
the sailed article which has hith-
erto been eaten through the winter
months. In consequence those farmers
who try to please the palate by produc-
ing sweet, nutty-tasting commodity,
will reap their reward by receiving a
remunerating price. Setting aside fan
cy prices it is certain that good fair
rate will always be paid for butter which
can be depended upOn'to come to hand
weekly in uniform quality. The best
butter-maker in the United States fails
unless the cows are fed properly, there
fore, there must be the right sort of
food. The hay should be made from
grass cut when in bloom, and this alone
will do, but some corn meal and wheat
bran will increase the cream and add
to the rich flavor of the butter. Also
the use of carrots will cause a greater
flow of milk and there will be then the
peculiarly fresh taste which character
ICES butter when cows are in good past
ure in June. Of course comfortable
stabling, cleanliness and exercise in a
sheltered yard will be requisite for full
success. The cows should have their
calves in September or thereabout, and
the heifer calves from all good mixers
should be raised, which can be done on
the SKINNED milk.
In the autumn there is no forage or
food of any kind, better for milch cows
as help to failing pasture than pump
kins. have used them freely for years
with the best results, and find the fear
of the seeds all nonsense. At the pres
.ent time L have fine lot growing among
the corn and about three acres planted
near the barn, which together will be
sufficient to last till Christmas if ] can
secure a portion of them from frost.
After the pumpkins are gone, carrots
are better than any other variety of
roots, and if fed till grass comes again
there need be no loss of quality in the
butter The quantity of the milk will
be equal to the best grass season, and
will depend upon the cows. Any man
having common sense, and managing
properly, can obtain double the average
given by cows of the kind usually met
with, if he will buy good ones and
breed from none but deep mixers, and
from bulls which are from deep milk
ing strain.-COr. Country Gentleman

Weeping Willow.

1t should not be forgotten that beauty
can often be acquired without great
cost. By studying the character of a
piece of ground and adding to that
which already exists. we can often make
place attractive as if we attempt
wholly to initiate at great cost some
pleasant garden scene that exists else
where.
In nothing is the adaptation of simple,
instead of expensive means, of adorn-
ment better shown than in the employ
ment of trees for shady summer bowers,
instead of the hideous lumber-worked
buildings so often seen. These are very
well in the cooler European climates,
but useless in American gardens. They
are always hot and unpleasant, but this
is not SO often the case when a mere
bower of living trees is employed to
make the necessary shade. The green
mass is in keeping with other trees and
the crowding necessary to accom-
plish the desired shade can often
be turned to the very best account.
This is especially the case when
weeping trees are employed. The
peculiar dropping habits comes into
play in numerous ways in the hands of
a good landscape gardener. OF the fast
growing things of this kind, and where
the position is not particularly choice,
there are few things more useful than
the weeping willow. For more select
places we suppose there is nothing bet
ter than the weeping ash. Indeed,
taken all in all, it is one of the best
trees of this kind we have. The
branches can be trained over wires, and
thus we can make the room beneath the
trees as extensive as one could wish.
For very large spots, half dozen or so
can be used. Set in one circle, and the
trees about twenty feet apart. Such
an arrangement would make delight
full croquet ground-or place for par
ties or picnics-entirely in the shade,
yet with an abundance of room and air
all round.
Of good weeping trees adapted to
capacious shade, there is now the weep
ing yellow elm, weeping beech, weep
ing poplar, as well as the ash and will
low already noted.
Many other kinds of weeping trees
are rather ornaments than extensive
givers of grateful shade. Of vines and
such like plants for shady arbors we
have already spoken, and although they
necessitate an expense which the mere
weeping tree does not entail, they have
many ample compensating charms. The
early spring fragrance of the Akebia
or later of the various kinds of honey
suckles is worth all it costs. Gardeners

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

TIE result of the election in Maine
was still undetermined on the Goth, both
parties claiming the election of Governor by
small plurality. Ladd and Murch, Fuss
ionists, are both reelected to Congress
from the Fourth and Fifth Dis
tricts respectively; the Republicans elect
their Congressman in the other three dis
tricts, but in two Of them, the First and
Third, by very small majorities, which
it is said will be contested. The
Legislature is Republican in both branches.
There was a large vote polled, showing an
increase ofaboutf five per cent. overt that of last
year. In 1876 the vote of Maine on Governor
was-Republican, 75,s67 Democrat, 6O,439;
Greenback, 500. In 1878 the vote stood
Republican, 56,5TS; Democrat, 27,S72;
Greenback, 41,404. In 1S79-Republican,

MANUFACTURE OF BUTTER.-Prof. L.
B. Arnold gives detailed statement of
experiments made to determine the
agency of the oxygen of the air on the
separation of butter from milk and
cream. emitting the careful details for
securing reliable result, we can only
State in general that vessels containing
oxygen with the cream, gave butter by
agitation in eighteen minutes, while
another vessel with carbonic acid con-
fined with the cream required twenty
eight minutes of agitation to pro-
duce butter. The product in the
two cases was unlike; that from cream
under oxygen had lively, rich and de-
licious flavor, while that from under
greasy taste. The former kept well,
the latter soon became tainted. The
quantity of butter was the same in each
case We are not informed what chem
.ical difference appeared whether the
butter was obtained from fresh milk or
from cream forty-eight hours old.
BUTTERito be kept any length of time
should be made with the greatest pos
-sible care and whitman eye particularly
to the exclusion of every drop of but
termilk. To accomplish this to the
greatest perfection the churn should
be stopped while the butter is in the
granular form, certainly no larger than
peas, and little earlier if possible.
Draw off the buttermilk and wash
through changes of fresh water at a
temperature not higher than sixty-three
degrees several times and until the
water runs off perfectly clear. Not less
than three-fourths of an ounce of salt
to the pound of butter,should be added
after the water has been all worked out.
The second working, at the end of four
hours after the first, and just enough
to remove any notified or streaky APP
pearance to the butter; pack immedi-
ately and see that the packing is solid,
without fiSSuraC ar CRACKS Of huttpr
The tub or firkin should be thoroughly
soaked in hot brine and packed while
the wood is wet. though it should be
allowed to cool off before the butter is
put in.-Anlericd11 DGirQndn.
