Grafting Wax.

The following is a recipe tor making graft
ing wax that will not melt IN summer nor
crack IN winter Three parts resin, three parts
beeswax and two parts tallow will make a
good grating wax. A cheaper WAX, that has
gwen us good satisfaction, is made by melting
together four parts good, clear resin, two parts
6eeswax and one part tallow. When the in.
gradients are all melted and mixed, pour INTO
pail of cold water, when the wax will harden
sufficiently to be worked and pulled, as IN
working molasses candy. If used in cool
weather it will be necessary to keep it in warm
water, and IN hot weather cold water will be
needed For nursery grating this wax is
sometimes melted and spread on narrow strips
OF cloth, which are wound around the graft

SCOT Is a despised thing, at which everyone

'Cure Old Horses.

The intelligence of old troop horses is the
subject of many anecdotes which, wonderful
as they are, will rarely he doubted by any one
who Is familiar with horses. A good story il.
Illustrative Of their sagacity is told and vOuched
for as authentic by the Diamond Ners. The
scene of the occurrence was P0tchcfstrom,
where our men and the Beers were known to
DO very near mel ghbors; so near, indeed, that
when the horses were turned out TO water they
had their headstalls and haltcrs taken off, So
that If the enemy suddenly appeared and tried
TO catch the ANIMALS they would have nothing
to lay hold of them by and the horses would
have a chance of escaping into their own lLes.
One evening. as usual, the horses were let Out
of the tort to water and rushed straight To the
vlci where they usually drank, But the Beers

ing tho animals. In spite of the fact that the
halters were missing. The Beers being adj.

and straightWay the whole Of them turned and
made for home, carrying their unwilling
freight. The DutchmCn threw Themselves of

American scientists are again discussing
the connection alleged to exist between the
operations of railways and the amount OF
rainfall. 1t is regarded as remarkable fact
that before railways were extended to the
Pacific, the country lying between the Sierra
Nevada and Rocky Mountains was subject to
an almost continuous drought. Since then,
however, the country has been visited with
frequent falls of rain, What produced the
change. Is the question. Some suggest
that 1t Is due to a change IN the electrical
state of the atmosphere. produced hy the

year there has been no such visitation; or,
in other words, that the building Of such a
vast network Of railways az has been con-
struCteu in the past quarter OF century has
had the effect of promoting the fall of rain.
Since the general introduction Of railways in
Europe, also, there has been no drought such
