Having had numberless inquiries for
advertising cards from ladies In all
parts of the country who are interest
ed In the prevailing fashion Of making
"Card Collections" we are having
printed for them set OF seven beauti-
ful cards, each In six colors and on
gold background, In the very highest
degree of art, illu ultratlng Shakspeare's
"Seven Ages OF Man." We have spared
no expense in these cards-they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
has been to publish the finest cards yet
shown. Applications tor them have
come in so rapidly that nearly the
whole edition Is engaged before the
receipt by us of the cards from the
artist. We have therefore been obliged
to adopt the. following plan for the dis
tributlon of the remainder: No more
of the gilt Shakespeare cards, seven In
the series, will be ssnt excepting upon
the receipt OF statement from grocer
that the person applying for the cards
has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars OF Dobb;ns' Electric Soap,
with price paid EOr same. All apply
Ing In this manner toiu receive the Iull
seL OF seven cards gratis by mail. This
will Insure US that our friends and pa
irons get their share Of these beautiful
designs, although it In no manner re-
pays us for the cost of the cards. Your
grocer has the soap or will get it, AID
the purchase by you Of seven bars of
lG at one time will secure for you gratis
seven really beautiful cards. The soap
improves with age, and Is an article of
necessity In your house every week.
Therefore you are not asked 10 buy "A
useless article, but one that you must
have anyway. Please send us your
application at once, and tell your lady
friends making card Collections" ;" TO
do the same. GrocerS do not have the
cards to deliver. Buy the soap OF them,
send us their bill, aud tge will mail you
the cards free. Yours respectfully,

South Africa, speaking In the rough

terror rises in two or three tolerablY

the seashore, while the rivers form
he radii between the center, which 10
the interior plateau and the periphery,
which Is formed by the sea. The two
largest rivers, the Orange and the
Limpapo, flow respecti vely in west
erly and easterly direction. The
northern boundary of the South Africa
semi-circle Is formed by the tropic of
Capricorn. The territory thus limited
is capable Of supporting great en-
pire-an empire, moreover, which can
support itself and has a position of
matchless security. 1t has the most
salubrious climate known to medical
science. The soil produces every
thing needed by civilized and luxur-
ious people. Nevertheless, the en-
pire has not interested mankind great
ly save as stopping place on the way
between the European states and their
colonies in Asia. In that capacity the
Dutch occupied the cape ih 1852, by
the proclamation OF Surgeon Ribeck.
Some adventurers, mostly Dutchmen,
settled at the cape, their wives being
furnished them by the Dutch govern
ment, which emptied its warehouses
for that purpose. These Dutchmen
had no difficulty In taking from the
Hottentots what land they wanted,
and man who chose ID leave the set

Huguenots and Germans, and the re-

Landslip In Central ASIA.

The landslip which overwhelmed
part of the Russian army marching
against the Tekke-Turkomans, but of
which little has been known, must
rank as one of the most terrible catas-
trophies of the kind on record. The
column was eneamped In narrow val
ley near Kheja-Kaleh, and not far
from Kara Kaleh, when, after heav V
rains huge mass OF the mountain
overhangilg the camp came down and
buried six hundred soldiers and many
horses. The 1urkomans, taking ad-
vantage OF the mishap and the conse-
quent confusion, attacked and plumb
cred the Russian camp, compelling the
remainder of the column TO fall back

panied by other natural convulsions.
like earthquakes or volcanic erupGions,
has ever caused such frightful loss
of life; indeed die instances Of vast
displacements Of surface are very rare.
In 1S40 there was q wonderful subsi-
dence of surface at Axmouth, in
Dev0nshire, when about one hundred
acres of undercliff slipped down to the
sea, and reef forty feet in height was
driven up through the water. There
was no loss of Life on this occasion,
nor in the landslips at Lyme Regis in
1871, at Freshwater in 1s42, or at Sid,
mouth in the same year. The disaster
Of Khoja-Kaleh, therefore, is probably
unique In its horrors.

A wTiter in the London Engineer
states the first requisite for perfect
railway brake to be capacity TO sup
ply the instantaneous application of
the greatest amount OF retarding force
the brake TO be applied to every
wheel OF train simultaneously, and
the utmost power of the brake to be at
once used. He says that train Of
fifteen cars, weighing 400 tons, at an
energy of sixty miles an hour, IS equal
TO "a 900 tons falling distance OF one
foot, and as at speed of sixty miles
an hour train passes over reighty-eighG
feet per second, to stop it quickly In
wolves the following requirements;
First, the brake blocks should be ap-
plled to act upon every wheel in
the train; secondly. they should be APP
piled with their tull force in the least
possible time; thirdly, the pressure
should be regulated according to speed
and other circumstances, so that the
friction may never exceed, but nearly
equal, the adhesion of tho wheels
upon the rails. These three requisites
must be regarded as indispensable.

CARROTS TOR ANIMALs.-The carrot

Its 1eeoiDg Qualities. When antIyze

practical men, is explained by chemists
as resulting Irem the presence Of
substance called pecune, which ope-
rates 10 cos& ulate or gelatine vegetable
solutions, and tavors this digestion in
all cattle. Horses are espe, laily BEN
nted by the use of carrots, and they
should De led frequently with their
other food. Most all sections of the
western country produce, when thou
roughly cultivated, beautiful crops OF
carrots, and they can be raised at q
trlvislexpense. The land upon which
carrots are TO be cultivated should be
mellow, and be plOweI deeper than
usual.

AGRICULTURE.

WASTE ON THE FARM.-The greatest
waste on the farm is in the not using
of our brains; the greatest, because at
the bottom of all the other wastes. A
little thinking often saves much labor.
After accomplishing almost any piece
of work. the most of us can look back,
and see how we could have improved
ON 1t, If zee had but thought. AS we re-
view Our crops of this year, we see how
they could have been easily increased,
had we only thought. The ditch we
dug through our medow was not done
in the most economical way. We dug
100 deeply at first, and did not allow for
The setting of the land. Hence waste
of labor. We omitted buying an I'M
ulement that would have saved nearly
its cost In this one years use, until we
had spent much In trying TO accomp-
lish our work without it. Here was
another waste. We carry q water pipe
too near the surface, TO save the ex-
pense of digging q trench OF safe
depth, and the winters frost necessi-
rates q replacement of the pipe, and an
additional digging. Certainly, waste
here. We allowed the weeds 10 grow
on one piece of land. not thinking TO
what proportions they would grow by
the,time tue clops were too tar advanced
70 admit the hoe. A waste here, which
might have been obvlated. And so Oh
wastes, little and big everywhere, ali
arising from our not thinking sufncl-
ently-waste, because not necessary
and easily obviated. We omit the or
dinary wastes from neglect, from lazl-
ness, from want Of appreciation VI
cleanliness and thorouxnness, -- the
wastes from our stock, 1rOm our man
ure heap, from our household. Verify,
little thought will save the farmer
much, aud the saving, through this
means, even on q smau farm, Will re-
present the interest on considerable
capital. The wastes arising from IL
norance can very readily be diminished
and are in large part tineXcusaole; those
arising from Cal etessness, arc not de-
serving OF sympathy. The farmer, as
well as the business man, must use
business principles, TO secure the larg-
est success, and the one should be
as careful OF The out-goes as the
other.

Instead of oil, which thickens and
makes the stones dirty, mixture of
glycerine and alcohol Is used by many.
The proportions OF the mixture vary
according 10 the instrument operated
upon. An article with large surface,
razor, for instance, sharpens best
with limpld liquid, as three parts of
glvccrine to one of alcohol. For a
craving tool, the cutting surface of
which is very small, as Is also the pres
sure exercised on the stone in sharpen
ing. it is necessary to employ glycerIne
almost pure, with but two or three
drops of alcohol.

Tn a late Paper. DR.. Hughes Bennett,
Of Edinburgh University, stated that
the tendency of modern physiology is
to ascribe TO a man sixth sense. II
there he placed before a man two small
tubes, the one OF lead and the other of
wood, both gilded over so as to look
exactly alike, and both of the same
temperature, not one OF the five senses
could tell the man which is lead and
which Ia wood. He could tell this only
by lifting them, and this sense of
weight, DR.. Bennett thinks, is likely
to be recognized as the sixth sense.

How TO FEED HoRsEs.-The trouble
with most persons who keep horses, no
matter whether for farm work or for
driving purposes, is they feed TOO much
nay; and 10 this can be attributed the
genera slugglshness often manifested
Dy tbe horse until they have been
working couple OF hours, while their
wind Is also much impaired. Night is
the only time when hay should be fed,
especially TO animals used Tor quick
work; even the slow plow team should
have but little hay at The morning and
noon feeds, but give them generous
supply at the evening meal. BY doing
thls your horses VIII keep in better
splriLs and condition, and tree from
any tendency to ''pOt belly" which
horsemen so much dislike to see.

Let us examine the marvellous In
stinct of the solitary wasp In providing
for the worm that will issue from her
egg after her own death. She brings
grubs-food that, as a wasp, che never
tasted-and deposits them over the egg,
ready for the larva she will nevsr see.
The life history OF every insect ex-
hlbits instincts of this perplexing de-
scrlption. Look at the instructive
character of bees in their far-sighted
provislors for The future. Witness the
carerpillar, how at the proper time Ii
selects a suitable situation and spins
for itself silken cocoon. Marvellous
instincts are met with outside Of the
Insect world; every little bird is It's
own skilful accoucheur. We or ce OBJ
served the self-delivery of the chicken.
The prison wall Is not burst in pieces
by struggles. By a regular series of
strokes the shell! Is cut in two-chipped
round in perfect circle some distance
from the large end. The bird has q
special instrument for this work-a
hard, sharp horL on the top of the
upper mandible, which, being required
for no other purpose, disappears In a
few Gays. obviously each Individual
bird no more acquires the art of break
ing It's way out than Ii furnishes itself
with the little Lick-hammer used In
the operation; and IL is quite clear that
a bird could have never escaped from
the egg without this instinct How
were eggs hStched before birds had
acquired the instinct to sit upon them
A Iowl that never before willingly
shared crumb with q comp Inion will
now sCarve herself to feed her chickens,
which she calls by language she
never before used-may have neVer
heard-but which they are born TO un-
derstaad.

FATTESING stock will thrive most
when fed only such Quantity as will
be eaten readily with good appetite /:
any excess of feed laying before them
Will destroy the relish, make the ami
mails dainty, and lessen the quantity
they will consume. A variety is de-
sirable; one feed daily should be some
escnlent, ss potatoes, turnips, or beets,
not so much for the food element they
contain as to give tone 10 the appetite
and digestion. Feed and water should
be given at regular times, and by one
feeder, who will, il proper hand,
soon learn what each animal requires
and will feed no more or less.

A MOLD OF LoLD MEAT.-A pound
or little more of cold meat beef,
mutton, anything except pork-two
ounces of maccaroni, one teacupful of
fine bread crumbs, tablespoonful of
butter, one egg, pepper and salt. Cat
the meat very fine. Wash the macca-
roni In cold water then boil for half an
hour, drain and cut into inch-lengths.
Mix with the meat crumbs, butter,
pepper and salt, mix thoroughly. bind
together with the beaten egg and pack
into a well-greased basin or bowl and
steam for an hour. This Is very nice
for breakfast or tea, sliced and eaten
cold.
