Dry Earth as an Absorbent.

If one will observe when the COWS
choose to lie down in the yard or pasture,
it will be seen that they choose the bare
ground, rather than the sod or bedding
of straw. The same is true of sheep.
We have taken this hint, and furnished
the COW stables with dry earth bedding.
Leaves and straw are poor absorbents in
comparison. In the pigpens dry earth
has no equal In very cold weather we
add straw or leaves, but until the weather
is very cold the animals will be more
comfortable with bed of fresh SOIL or of
soil changed once a fortnight or week.
In the chicken house we have learned Its
great value as a deodorizer. Our roosts
are over Il sloping floor, on which we oc-
casionally scatter dry earth. This is
turned over with d shovel each week or
oftener, and we can say the chicken
house is free from any offensive odor. and
the bright combs and glossy feathers tell
Of the health OF the fowls. Dry earth is
a good preventive, too, of vcrmin on cat
tie, pigs and poultry.
1t must be procured at a dry time, and
stored under shed or in the stables 1t
not only promotes neatness and health
but saves the very elements OF the ma
nures, which make them most valuable,
and most of which Mould evaporate if not
absorbed by the dry earth. We do not
like it as a bedding in the horse stables,
but it should be found in every stable to
sprinkle the floors with as soon as the
bedding is removed in the morning,
When removed from the stables, sites
and coops, it should be kept under cover
for spring use, or for drilling with the
wheat in the fail. Cincinnati CONNER

Hard on the Company"

A good "drive" was perpetrated upon a
Connecticut Western conductora few days
ago. man boarded the train at way
station and paid his fare to point few
miles distant On reaching his destination
he concluded to proceed to a further sta
ton and finally continued on until he
reached Winsted Each time he paid his
fare in cash at the station, although by this
means the passage cost him considerably
more, At last the conductor spoke to him
of this and suggested that it would be
economy for him to buy a ticket, and ask
ed him why he didn't. "Well," said the
passenger, ''Ill tell you. Some time last
Summer | got into little trouble with
this company and they used me mighty
meanly, so | Just said to myself, That
Connecticut Western Company won't
never get another cent of my money if |
live hundred years : and they wont, and
that's why pay my fare to the conduct
ors." The conductor dropped the con-
versation at that point.

be quoted "Mr. Secretary Blaines house

net Ministers and those of foreign Ambas-
SadOrs receive-there is no house in the
American capital so crowded. Whatever

in other drawing rooms, there is always a
throng at Mr.. Blaine's Nor is this due
to the Importance of his present position

the same when he was in the Senate +; it

we find, among other valuable possessions,
one very interesting picture "a large can
vas by Sir Peter Lely representing Chas.
III. and his Court. 1t is signed, with
the date 1858. 1t was painted by Sir
Peter for Lord Baltimore, and was bought
by Mr. Blaine for a sum of comparative
unimportance at the sale of the Calvert
estate, Riverdale, Md, few years ago.
There is not an art gallery in Europe,
public or private, which would not be
enriched by this large historical picture,
full of portraits, and executed in Lely's
most delicate and yet most animated style.
Near at hand, on a pedestal, stands a fine
life size bust Of Mr.. Blaine, as good like

obtained in this form of man, the charm
Of whose features lies principally in their
mobility and ever changing play. Por-

The marvellous speed with which the
physicians telegraphed for to attend the
President Saturday were hurried to their
destination is related as follows in a let
ter found in the columns of the Provi-
dence Press: "The distance to Phila-
delphia eighty nine miles accom-
plished in ninety-siX minutes. Seventeen
freight trains had to be switched on to
side tracks to allow the special train to
pass by without q stop; but fifteen min
utes were lost on account of two passen-
ger trains. Engineer Nandergritt was on
his mettlc, and his good engine, as though
conscious that the delay of few minutes
might be fatal, went tearing through the
New Jersey towns at a terrific rate of
speed. Had the passenger trains been
out of the way, the train would have
gone eighty nine miles in eighty min
utes. Philadelphia was reached at a
quarter before five. In three minutes a
fresh engine was hitched to the car, and
DR.. Hamilton, accompanied by DR.. Ag
new, who had been waiting anXiously for
the special, were whirling away towards
Washington, where they arrived at ten
minutes before eight. In five minutes
they were at the White House,

James Gllis, who went as carpenter Of

place of the second officer after the loss,
said to the reporter :-"l stood close by

terwards that the ship was brought

the rail was lined with men anxious to 90

that the captain would 60 too. am
ready to substantiate all the chief officer
has told you about their effort to rescue.
When night came every man was asked
what he thought ought to be done The
captain said to mel I'll stop here for
weeks if anybody thinks we ought to,
and when we squared away and left those
men behind us he wept like Il child. We
had prayers the next Sunday for them.
You have not heard any of the captains

him when he was mate of the Eureka,
and never knew a better man. When
In \ OkOhama he gave his men more free
dom than any other captain did. When
the second mate Of the Bullion was snOt
in Yokohama he and another captain put
their hands in their pockets and gave him
a decent burial. He did the same at
lloilo to bury a man who had been blown
from a yard OF the Martha Davis. AS for

Occasionally a little spray from the cur

than that we never shipped spoonful o
water all the way to the wrack. The
mate give us our orders as all except the
could keep her bow on to the wrack anC
well clear of her, so as we would not be
swamped by the seas as was a washin
over her, and so we should take EN-
aboard one at a time, so as not to get
overloaded. We pulled round to the lee
ward of her and found as they was ready
for US, havn' rugged a whip onto the fore
yard arm. We pulled up to her and
thrOwd line aboard of her, and the blight
OF this they bent onto the whip, keepin
enough slack aboard for to ease 'em dow
into the boat, and the next minnit little
Willie jackson was danglin at the een(
of the whip and was pulled into the bow
by Billy Edwards, as had the bow oar
and was passed aft to the mate. Little
Sissy Jackson came next, and then their
mother follered.
$50 we went on takin' nothin' but vim
min and children, till we had a boat loaC
with which we pulled back to our ship
findin' there a whip all ready for to whip
'em up. Arter the second load findin
that the boat was behaVin' well, the OlG
man got out the second boat. and then
the transfer went on quicker. 1t We're
about two bells in the AFTERNOON when WE
got to the Wrack, and by dark we haC
the whole lOt-l75 in all-safe aboard
and got our boats histed in again. The
last man to leave was the mate, gittin' il
the bovine and lowerin' hisself down
and arter securin' our boats we tilleC
away and purceeded.
"The mate said the way it happened
were they were katched on the port tack
when the shift come with reeted courses
and reeted topsails on her, and as she
was took flat aback, and afore they coulC
brace about, she got starn way, and d
tremendous sea rollin' in at the port waist
took the main and mZZen masts out OF
her, carryin' away with 'em the head O
the foremast and washin the old man and
the man at the wheel overheard at the

OF the Wrack she drifted on top of it, and
it started her leakin' so as when We
got the last of 'em off she had four feet o
water into her, though they had been 3
pumpin' all the while, and there amt nc
doubts but that she went down that night
