Lifting Out Stumps With Dynamite.

A writer in the London Garden de-
scrlbes the process by which he re-
moved stumps from park in which
trees had been felled and in clearinp
out old hedgerows, where the roots had
obtained unusual strong foothold. Many
were from foot and a half to four and a
half feet in diameter. The dynamite is
put in cartridges varying from one to
two inches in diameter and four inches
long. An earth-auger, making an ori-
fee two inches in diameter and about
four feet long, forms an inclined hole
so as to place the cartridges nearly un-
der the center of the stump. The num-
Der OF cartridges required depends on
the size and strength of the roots. A
premier cartridge with cap and fuse is
attached to the charge, and the whole
rammed down with loose earth by a
wooden rammer. The fuse is of sutfi-
clent length to allow the workmen to
get out of the way, to distance
OF fifty to one hundred yards,
according to the strength of the charge.
The whole mass is usually blown out
and the roots broken up for loading or
burning. A large hole remains. No
damage is done to surrounding trees.
The writer states that the work was
done in far more expeditions manner
than before and at fifty per cent. less
cost. He adds, that the dynamite used
is seventy-five per cent. nitro-glycerine
and twenty-five per cent of an infuso-
rial or porous earth, procured from
the bottom of German rivers. It
is ground very fine and a powerful mi
croscope shows every grain porous or
honey-combed, which soaks up the
nitro-glycerine, forming a pasty SUBJ
stance, without allowing the liquid
nitro-glycerine to exude. He regards
it as safe as the use of gunpowder, with
ordinary care.-COunsry Gentleman.

The Use Of Milk.

DIR. Crosby, of the Bellevue Hospital,
pronounces milk an article of diet which
all persons may use under nearly all
conditions. There are those who say
that they cannot take milk, that it makes
them bilious, etc., but he declares that
this is not true. A person who is sick
may take milk with the greatest possible
advantage, because it contains in form
easy of assimilation all the elements
essential for maintaining nutrition.
1t is the natural aliment Of the young
animal and certainly answers a good
purpose for the old animal, provided it
is used properly and not poured into a
stomach already over-filled, as though
it had in itself no substance or richness.
New milk, he does not hesitate to say,
may be taken, as far as disease is con-
cerned, in nearly every condition.
Perhaps it will require the addition of
a spoonful or two of lime water. The
addition of little salt will often pre-
vent the after-feeling of fullness and
"wind in the stomach which some
complain of. If marked acidity of
the stomach is present, then perhaps
a little gentian may be requisite to
stimulate the stomach somewhat, and
it may be necessary to give it in small
quantities and repeat it often; but ice
cold milk can be put into a very irrita-
BILE stomach, if given in small quanti-
ties and at short intervals, with the hap
piest effects. 1t is used in cases of fever
which formerly it was thought to
=" feed and when scalded it has de-
sirable effect in summer complaints.
But it is an article of diet for people
in health and who wish to remain in that
happy condition, that milk should be
most appreciated. For the midday
lunch of those whose hearty meal comes
at night, or for the supper of those who
dine at noon, nothing is so good. The
great variety and excellent quality of
prepared cereals give a wide choice of
food to use, with milk. Bread with
berries, in their season, or baked sweet
apples, } boiled with rice, cracked wheat,
oatmeal, hulled corn, hominy, taken
with generous bowl of pure cold milk
makes the best possible light meal in
warm weather for children and for all
adults who have not some positive ply
'Ical idiosyncrasy that prevents them
rom digesting it. The men of firmest
health and longest life are the men of
'egular and simple habits and milk is
standard article in such diet.

Sparr0ws Fighting With Stones,

A citizen of the West End, in eyery
way worthy and reliable, has sent us
the following interesting statement of a
singular fact he has often observed in
reference to English sparrows:
''The writer has son who has a
pigeon-box. Out of whim he fastened
upon the front of it piece of LOOKING
glass, perhaps fourth of square foot
in size. Some English sparrows built in
this box, and took up all their spare
time in fighting the image of themselves
in the glass. They would fight by the
hour and pant with labor and heat, fiy-
ing violently against the glass, taking
breath and trying again and again.
They were not observed at first to do
so, but lately they take good-sized
gravel In their mouths and strike the
glass again and again with all their
might. There is no doubt of the fact
We have picked up the gravel occa-
slonally when they weuld drop Il.
Sometimes the gravel is as large as a
dried biack-eye pea. The writer's idea
is that this is their way of fighting when
the battle becomes tough. Cannot think
their object to be to break the GLASS.
What do the naturalists sayp''
Who will explainP Were the sparrows
Trying to break the glass? Did thew
know the mirror was glass and could
be oroken?-Richnso'sd IVA. Dispatch.
