Meerschaunl.

The word meerschaum in the German
means sea-foam, and the material was SO
named because of its ightness and
whitish appearance. 1t is a mineral of
soft, earthly texture, somewhat resem-
bling chalk. 1t is found in Greece and
Turkey, as we'll as in Spain, occurring
in the form of veins and otherwise. In
Turkey it is used extensively as fuller's
earth. The custom is to roughly shape
it into blocks or rude forms Of pipes for
expectation. Pesth and Vienna are ia
nous cities for the manufacture of meer-
schaum pipes, and at Geneva quite a
number of the elegant smokers are to be
seen. The manufacture of the spurious
article is extensive, Paris leading in the
newer limitations. To produce the yell
low and brown colors, so much admired
in the real meerschaum pipe, and which
come only after they are smoked some
time, the blocks are long kept in a MKT
ure of wax and fatty matter. These
are in part absorbed, and, afterward. be-
ing acted on by the heat from the to-
bacco, the meerschaum assumes various
shades of colors. What are known as
artificial meerschaums-mad from the
parings of the genuine material, reduced
to fine powder, boiled in water, and
nodded into blocks-cannot easily be
distinguished from the real, but they
are generally heavier and more free
from blemishes.

WHEAT GROWING.
How TO Increase the Yield GreatIy-Larger
Heads and Larger Grains.

How to Increase the Yield GreatIy-Larger
Heads and Larger Grains.
ILondon Ninteenth Century for November.I
The description of "Our New Wheat
Field in the Northwest" in the Nineteenth
Century for July, 1879, is from an imperial
point of view, eminently satisfactory as rem
dering us, so long as we retain the command
OF the seas, independent of foreign supply
1t is, nevertheless, the startling announce
ment to our wheat t-growers at home of a
competition for many years to come of a
far more formidable character than any with
which they have hitherto had to come.
The cost at which an acre of wheat can be
put on shipbosrd at port nearer to Liver
pool than New York is will, with freight
added, be 50 low that, under the present sys
tenn of cultivation in this country, it could
not be more proftably grown here.
Moreover, the wonderful facilities for in
land water carriage will for long period
enable the cultivator of even the more re-
mote of the prairies to maintain competi-
ton almost as fierce af that which threatens
US in the immediate future.
1t does not admit of doubt thai, If the pro-
duce of Great Britain has already reached its
limit in its present average of about thirty
bushels of wheat per acre (if, indeed, it is
really SO much), the position of the English
farmer with regard to that cereal is q truly
hopeless one.
What, then, is to be done? Is there, in
fact, no hope for rs? After all the boasted
progress of English agriculture it has,
indeed, been great-are we now to succumb
with the humiliating confession that We can
do no more?
Had similar competition threatened the
farmer of Arthur Young's day, when the
land OF this country produced but some six
teen or seventeen bushels of wheat per acre,
what would have been thought of the man
who then suggested to the farmer that his
produce might be increased-nay, even
doubled? Would he have been regarded as
anything but, to use the mildest term, the
merest visionary? And yet since that time
the crop has been nearly doubled! Is there
any more real reason now for assuming that
we have reached the limit of production?
Can it be said with any degree of truth
that all possible means of increasing the
crop have been already tried in vain?
Let us consider of what the wheat crop
consists. 1t is not mystery, lost art, or
anything beyond our comprehension. On
the contrary, it is very simple affair, in
deed--so many ears of wheat filed, or part.
ly filled according to the season) with
grains. To obtain larger crop, then, it is
plain that we must have more ears, or ears
with more grain in them, or both.
1t is very singular fact, indeed, that, no
matter what the quantity of seed sown, the
number of ears OF wheat produced per acre
is, in the absence of injurious circumstan-
ces, virtually the same-sbout 100000,
the different quantities of seed having been
sown each under the best conditions of time
and space.

How to Make Coffee.

Select with critical discrimination the
best OF genuine Mocha; or, in default of
this, Old Government JAVA Never buy
1t as roasted and ground in our stores.
In these processes and in the keeping
some OF the finest of the aroma must
necessarily be lost. Roast your own
coffee and grind your own coffee your
self. Roast it in an iron or other stew
pan, which is thoroughly cleaned and
secured after each using. It will serve
greatly to retain the aroma to throw in
piece OF the sweetest of butter, about the
size of chestnut. When this is melted
1t will throw around each particle of
coffee thin, buttery film, which will do
much to prevent the escape of the deli
cate coffee bouquet. Keep stirring con-
stantly. Allow to remain until the coffee
is fine, rich brown, but not until it
browns to any blackness. Grind to small
grounds, but do not make the very COM
mon mistake of grinding to o powder.
Place these grounds in an earthen, or at
least lined, bowl. Cover with
boiling water. Set on a warm place on
the stove, but not hot enough to make it
boll, and allow to infuse for half an hour.
Now strain. We have now an exquisite
coffee favoring.
A very delicate coffee favoring may
be obtained by another process, as fol-
lows: Roast and grind your coffee as di-
rected i'll a previous recipe. Now reduce
to grounds, and throw these grounds
directly into the cream before it is set
on the fire. Now, by the time the cream
IS heated up to the boiling point, the
whole mass will be pervaded by very
delicate coffee bouquet. Of course the
cream must be carefully strained before
you proceed to freeze.
It will strike the housewife at first
reading as simply incredible that the full
aroma of the coffee berry can be extract
ed without any application whatever of
fire. The experiment will delight as
well as surprise all ladies of intelligence
and taste who once put this to the test.
The cold process was first devised sim
ply with view of preventing, as far as
possible, the escape of the aroma of the
coffee berry. which is as volatile as it is
delicate, and all ordinary processes more
or less sacrifice. Take five ounces of
best Mocha or Old Government Java,
roast and grind to coarse powder in
way laid down in the previous recipe,
rour the grounds into glass bottle or
decanter; pour on sufficient quantity
of cold water to cover the coffee, stop
the bottle or decanter close, set in a
warm situation for thirty thirty hours;
now filter the infusion by passing it
through some fine lawn or blotting-
paper placed on glass funnel or strain
through muslin.
This process has been tried with hot
water as well as with cold, and, while it
contradicts all prevailing impressions to
say so, this still remains the fact, that
the cold water produces the best result.
Let each housekeeper try both the hot
and cold water process, and decide for
herself which result gratifies her the
most
It will be observed that the delicate
and highly aromatic infusions obtained
by any of the foregoing processes will
be fully available for hot breakfast cot
fee, for ice-cold coffee, for cofee-ice, or
for coffee ice-cream. = PHILADELPHIA

WEEKLY CASUALTY RECORD.

The quarters OF Lieut.. Bell, at Fort A.
Lincoln, D. T., were burned, and other build
ings damaged, by fire, the 10th.
A terrific snow storm with high wind
prevailed throughout the Black Hills country
the 18th, and 10th, the Thermometer falling
to 80 degrees below.
Floods are causing much damage in
the counties of Derbyshire, Warnickshire
Nottinghampshire and Worcestershire, Eng
land, and the waters of the Thames are rising
rapidly.
Two-thirds of the buildings in New
port, Ark, (on the iron Mountain rairoad)
were destroyed by fire Tuesday evening, the
18th, making about 900 families homeless.
The property consumed is estimated at $780,
600.
8 D. ]. Arnold, 70 years old, while har-
Messing his team in the passage of grain
elevator at East Des Moines, lowe, the 18th,
was crushed to death by the floor of bin
above giving way.
At Logan, Ohio, while Cerwin Call,
miner, was emptying quantity of blasting
powder into sack which his wife was hold
ing, the powder exploded. Mrs. Call was
burned to death and Call is not expected to
live. The room was badly shattered.
A special to the Galveston, Texas,
Neous, of Nov. II, from Corsicana says: A
special train carrying four companies of the
Sixteenth infantry, struck broken rail four
miles above here, ditchiug four coaches.
twenty-five men were wounded, several seri-
ously.
The gun works OF J. Brown & Son,
Pittsburgh, were burned, the 18th, inficting a
loss of $4,000. Brown & Son have been
particularly unfortunate, having been burned
out three times in twelve years, besides having
their works pulled by the mob during the
memorable riots of 1877
A heavy gale passed over central and
western Ontario on the morning of Nov. 7th.
Trees were up-rooted, telegraphs prostrateI,
and considerable other damage done. AT
Clifton the water in the river rose fifteen feet,
and severe damage was done along the banks
Disasters to shipping are reported at several
Lake Ontario ports. . %%
Later details of the coal mine explo-
sion in the Ford pit, Stellarton, N. s.,the 18th,
fully confirm the first reports. The latest
estimates place the number of victims at fifty.
During Saturday, the 13th, several attempts
were made to explore the pit, but the choke
damp was too dense to allow a thorough
search, and only three dead bodies were re-
covered. The cause of the explosion remains
mystery, the rescued reporting that they
were suddenly struck down and knew moth
ing more. The pit has been flooded to check
the fire, so that no more bodies can be reeov-
cred for the paesent. The scene at Stellarton
is described as peculiarly heartrending' The
blinds of every third or fourth place are down,
indicating the loss of some member of the
family. Those suddenly made widows have
large families of small children and great suf-
fering is inevitable if generous assistance is
not promptly extended.

The Day After the Fire.

st. Peter was the scene of much excite
ment and confusion the day after the fire, but
there were no new events to record. The
fire was completely confined to the netth
wing, leaving the south wing and the main
building for occupancy, and by
crowding what remained of the build
ing they were able to give at least temporary
shelter 10 all who we're alive or had not escap.
ed. The death list is not known and cannot
be until the debris is removed from lthe base
ment. It is thought that not less than ten or
more than twenty-five were burned to death.
1t is probably nearer the former than the lat
ter figure.
ALI day long Superintendent Bartlett was
answering kilograms from friends inquiring
relative to the safety of inmates. In many
cases he was obliged to give uncertain replies
as the parties were missing, but might have
wandered away and not absolutely have lost
their lives.
The origin of the fire seems likely to remain
q mystery. The generally accepted theory is
that it.caught from leak in the gaspipe
gasoline being used). When it was discov.
cred the basement of the north wing was well
on fire. This wing was 165 long with two re-
turns, 40x70 and 30x60. 1t contained 200
rooms an6 was occupied by 27O mail patients.
At least 200 were in peril of their lives, and
that more were not destroyed is wonder.
Gov. Pillsbury, who visited the scene the
morning after the fire, thinks the building can
be rebuilt for 100000. There was also sew.
eral thousand dollars damage done to furni-
ture in removing It from portions of the
htIi1 Hion oxxrhi ioh ~
being no insurance the loss is total. A
meeting of the trustees was held during the
day, and it was decided to transfer twenty
patients to Rochester, and ask st. Paul and
Minneapolis to each take twenty.
One poor fellow was literally roasted alive

corner where the fire started. During the
fire he stood peering through the bars of his

a fiery and awful death. Red, sinuous shafts

staid there unmoved, the center Of q fiery fur

condition. Such has been the law and usage
in the navy for years, and the army would
soon grow accustomed to it. No body of
men on earth has more reverence for the
constitution and laws than the army
and pledge my own, and the good
faith of all in the service, to enforce
faithfully every part of the constitution of
the United Ststes and every law made in pur-
susnce thereof. Gen. Schofield is abund-
anty able to enforce the laws and regula-
tons of the academy. The education at
Fort Monroe under supervision Of Col.
Getty is purely professional, and limited
chiefly to the artillery arm of the service.
This education can not be found in another
college in America, and is valuable because
the use of artillery is limited to war on a
large scale and can not be learned in our
Indian wars or in common life. When the
necessity arises for artillery officers, as in our
Mexican war and also our civil war it is
sudden and immediate. This school costs
nothing but the ordinary garrison expenses.
l still desire to establish similar school
for infantry and cavalry at Leavenworth as
soon as the condition of Indian affairs will
admit of the release of some good infantry
regulars from the distant frontier, which
hope will occur within the next year. In
conclusion l beg to state that the entire
army is In my opinion as patriotic, as pa
tient, as willing to encounter danger and
hard service as at any former period in our
history. The rapid extension of railroads
and mails has much improved the general
condition and contentment of the officers
and men. and they simply suffer the usuaI
fate of peace in slow promotion and appre-
hensive of changes which never come. The
country is so large that regimental transfers
and changes are costly and the consequence
has been that many regiments have remain
ed longer in remote quarters than seems
fair; but I have endeavored to make regi-
mental changes as far as possible, consi stent
