Government Lands.

In the arid public lands of the remote
west, including Arizona, Dakota, Idaho,
Colorado, Nevada, Montana, New Mex
leo, Utah, Wyoming, and parts of Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, with
Washington and the Indian Territories,
there are, in round numbers, not less
than 900,000,000 acres. Not one per
cent. of all this land has as yet been sold
by the Government, and it will not be
sold for many years, unless some means
be found to supply it with water. II has
been proposed, lately, to sink expert
mental artesian wells on the arid land.
in order to irrigate it. Government sur
veys show that 200,000,000 acres of the
whole are mountainous, and that they
could not be rendered fertile with any
quantity of water. An equal amount Of
land consists of lava beds, without either
soil or vegetation, and Of desert plains of
drifting sand. This leaves 100000, 900
acres Of plain and valley susceptible Of
high cultivation, if they only had water.
But very small percentage of this can,
under the most favorable circumstances,
be reclaimed by using, however efficient
ly, the rivers and small streams, and a
great deal, now employed pasturage,
has such scanty grass that twenty-five
acres are often needed for the support of
each head of cattle. In Colorado alone
there are Al 100000 acres of such poor
land, capable, with proper irrigation, of
twenty-five to thirty bushels
Of wheat to an acre. The west wants
to appropriate $50, ,00Oforboring
lrtesian wells, and it is believed by some
If the ablest geologists that the wells
could be sunk. Private enterprise will
not undertake the experiment; but if the
experiment. were once made successful,
here would be abundant capital to carry
IN a work which would prove to be Of
nestimable value.-N 7. Times.

What a Crow is Worth.

A gentleman giving evidence before a
Parliamentary committee, said that in
some districts the number of crows upon
a farm would average at least fifty; that
the birds were Of great service in destroy
ing wire-worms, and where they did not
exist the farmer was obliged to hire boys
to do the work of the crow, paying them
at the rate of three-halfpence per 100
worms. Mr.. Bright inquired how much
a boy could earn Worm-killing, and was
told 3d., but when asked if a boy made
Cd. day at the rate Of three-halfpence a
hundred wire-WOrms, how many of those
noxious creatures he destroyed in a day,
the witness, turning restive, replied that
he did not come there to answer arith-
metical questions, Mr.. Bright, how
ever, was not to be put off in that way.
He asked if a boy did the work as well
as a crow. " A crow is worth fifty boys!n
was the rash reply. Then quoth Mr..
Bright: IF q boy is worth Cd. a day, a
crow worth fifty boys, how much is the
crow worth to the farmer in money!"
Not unnaturally, the gentleman lost his
temper, but in vain. Paper, pen, and
ink were handed to him, and, after bat
tling with the figures awhile, he an
nounced that a crow was worth Just 37s.
3d. day to the farmer He was then
asked to inform the committee what, at
that rate, was the yearly value of the
bird; and, of course, could not make it
less than G684 Is. Cd. His prosecutor
next reminded the badgered man that he
had given fifty as the average number of
crows on farm, and desired him to find

furniture. Brocade and cashmere and
tapestry papers are shown in great vari-
ETY., and are remarkable for the skill
with which the pattern is brought out so
that it is visible from any point, instead
OF only being apparent to personwho
stands in exactly the right place, as are
many of the designs in which the figure
is outlined in gilt. The grounds are in
gold chemically treated SO as to present
a great many different tints; in silver
made to assume a very delicate green,
and in a fine salmon pink that looks like
satin, The figures are vines in dark
shades contrasting harmoniously with
the ground, and in looking at them it is
hard to believe that each leaf is not sep
arately tinted by hand instead of being
the result Of many successive printings.
1t must be understood that on these pa
pers no machine work is possible. Those
who have ever examined a piece of fine
bordering or a roll of paper may have
noticed that along the uncolored edges
there are small dashes of color apparent
ly without meaning, and destined to be
cut off or hidden. These dashes are the
registers that mark the limits Of the
blocks used in printing on the prepared
ground, and as twenty impressions are
sometimes needed to produce pattern,
some rolls of paper have to be handled
and dried scores of times before they are
finished. The gilt and silvered grounds
are allowed to season year before they
are printed, and this delay, and the great
quantity of work involved in the print
ing, are the reasons why the brocade and
satin papers are so expensive. Boston

Wall Papers.

The tendency in colors is gradually to
leave the olive tints and shades and to
tend toward the light, warm browns that
are styled coral in England, but which
are unlike any oorals except those wide,
branching kinds called sea-fans. This
color is seen at its best in the English
flock papers, which, in spite of all inno-
vations, are almost as much used now as
they were a score of years ago. The pat
terms are more elegant than those form
erly employed, being vines or sprays of
leaves SO closely interviewer as almost to
cover the ground, but producing an eff

color. These papers are produced in

A Mouse Cure.

Hitherto there has been no remedy
which could be regarded as specific for
tetanus. At last, however, an ingenious
French physician has apparently hit
upon q remedy before which tetanus
yields as readily as toothache yields to
the dentists forceps, and which will, Of
course, supersede curare and all otherin-
ferior remedies. The French doctor in
question was called in to attend lady
suffering from tetanus. In his report he
says that she was a married woman Of
thirty-one years Of age, and that previous
to his visit her family physician had tried
every known remedy for tetanus, includ-
ing curare, without producing any effect.
The patient was lying on her back, with
her jaws tightly closed, and the muscles
Of her chest and throat were so rigid
that she was unable to utter a sound.
The doctor at once went out and pro
cured a live mouse of the usual size and
voracity, to the tail of which he attached
a strong horse-hair, Placing the mouse
at the foot Of the bed, he permitted it to
walk the entire length Of the patients
body. No sooner did the patient notice
the mouse than she sprang up, loudly
calling to the attendants to take it off,
and denouncing the doctor as horrid,
heartless wretch, who ought to be
Of himself and guilIotined on
the spot There was no recurrence of
the symptoms of tetanus. In fact, the
doctor adds that the lady's jaws were SO
thoroughly and permanently unlocked
that the husband, who is, Of course, ig-
norant of law, has threatened to begin an
action for damages against him. Homo
