Some dairymen say that mich COWS
do as well on ensilage when mixed with
about one-quarter its bulk of fine cut
dry hay or straw as with meal or shorts.
Perhaps the straw tends to distend the
stomach, as cob-meal does when ground
with corn. For sheep with lambs, sows
and mares, ensilage is especially profita-
BILE, and also for fattening sheep. For
summer use when the pastures are dried,
ensllage June grass will keep up the
supply OF milk as nothing else can.
In EPN sheep for profit the great
point Is to secure cheap ~pasturage.
Where wool alone Is the source of the
income cheap land is an absolute neces-
sity, and the supply of this is rapidly
diminishing. There are few localities
left IN the United States where land
can be procured In large tracts for fifty
cents to 81 per acre. Yet such tracts
can still be procured III the mountain
regions of Southwestern Missouri, West
Virginia and North Carolina, where the
climate is all that can be desired for
sheep husbandry. Where mutton is the
leading source of profit, land of greater
value may be employed.

DespO'ic Turkey.

A curious instance of the way in
which the anti-slavery laws are carried
out here has recently come to light.
Some months since family of Mussul-
man refugees arrived in Constantinople,
the father of whom had nee looking
young daughter. He came across q
rather respectable looking Turk, to
whom shall give the pseudonym of
Mehmed Agha, and proposed to him that
he, Mehmed Agha, being an admirer of
the fair sex, consented to marry the girl,
and the marrying ceremony took place
in due legal form before the imam of the
quarter. Mehmed Aghar took his newly
married wife home, but going out of the
house, he found, on his return, that the
young lady had vanished. Being a de-
termined man, and, moreover, being en-
amored of the girl, he left no stone I'M
turned to find her, and at last he did find
her in the harem of Il well kno wn Mar
shall Of the Empire. He found out that
her father, acting through certain slave
dealers, who had bribed him, had con-
scented to her sale for 80 liras, and had
assisted in abducting her. l say abduct-
ing, for it appears that she was fond of
Mehmed Agha, and did not go
away from him of her own free
will. Now comes the curious
part of the story Mehmed brings the
matter before the sheikh-ui-Isiam, and
in the most determined manner claims
his wife. An attempt is maize to find out
the slave-dealer who sold her. but they
in the meantime disappear. The father
of the girl does not deny the sale, the
girl, on beng called up, proclaims her
readiness to re-enter the marital roof: the
proof of the marriage are shown. Meh-
med Agha urgently demands his rights,
and claims his wife, but Shtikh-ul Islam
gives no decision, and the girl is still in
the harem of the Marshal. Mehmed
Agha, driven to despair, after repeated
attempts to get the ear of the Sheikh-ul-
Islam. uses strong language against him
and tells him publicly: ''You Judge
not according to Gods law, bnt for the
hatir of the Marshal" upon which he is
threatened with the police and is turned
out. There the matter ends for the
present. 1t is curious commentary on
the anti slavery laws of Turkey, if they
ever existed, that actually Il mans wife
can be abducted and sold, and that he
cannot get her back again. l should ad-
wise the Marshal of the Empire not to go

A look of scorn flashed from Flossy's

Archaisms In the Revised New Test. I.
ment.

Professor Fisher, of Yale, contributes
a scholarly and thorough review of 'The
Revised New Testament" to the Scribner,
enumerating all the important changes
and On the whole commencing the con-
scientious and careful work of the re-
visers, although he takes exceptions in
some few minor instances. After giving
several examples OF the changes made by
the Committee, he writes us follows:
"The authors of the New Revision,
archaisms, would have been obliged to
go farther in modifying the tone of the
received version than was necessary or
desirable. They have wisely decided to
retain such as are perfectly intelli-
gible and cannot be dropped without
dispelling in some degree the atmos-
phere that invests the ancient transla-
ton. There is no objection to saying
that Joseph minded to put her away

the meaning of minded at glance.
without reflection. In some instances,
archaic forms have been retained, which
are less agreeable, and which might
have been spared without the least harm.
Why was it necessary to retain the word

tween this word and 'betrayeth, if there
be any difference. readers will not dis

tention of which is due to the English
branch of the Board of Revisers. 1t is
remarkable fact that the English COM
pany, with the uprightness which belongs
to the character of true scholars, and
with a genuine English boldness in
matter where truth is ut stake, do not
hesitate to alter the form of the Lords
Prayer, by substituting as we have for
given for 'as we forgive, and deliver us
from the evil one.' in the room of de
liver us from evil-it is remarkable, we
say, that the same scholars should cling
to the old which for the modern and
more grammatical who. Fearless in re-
vising the Greek text to make it accord
with the demands of truth, they are
excessively cautious about modify

it. Owing to the same mood OF feeling,
they hold on to 'whiles'-'whiles thou
art in the way with him Matt. V. 25)

conservatism in minor things which be-
longs, in unison with courageous
spirit of progress, to the English mind,
and is discerned in many phenomena of
English life. Why do the boys in the
great school at Winchester still eat their
supper off wooden plates? Why do the
lawyers and judges still load their heads
with ponderous wigs? When such ques-
tons are answered, the reason will per-

Plnmpness n Requisite.

Instead of saying that there is an ex-
cess of 80, 600 women in Massachusetts,,
we shall be able to reason more clearly
if we simply say that there are 10000
unmarried women in that interesting
State. If the facts are stated in this way
we at once gee that, instead of troubling
ourselves about production, we
should merely ask, Why are these women
unmarried? The answer is not difficult
to find. These women are unmarried
because they are of pattern which has
of late years gone out of fashion. About
the same time that the gray trousers of
England drove out the black broadcloth
trousers, which, in connection with
the black satin waistcoat and
black dress-coat formerly constituted
he walking costume of the American cit
izen, there was introduced the plump
English style of girl. The latter soon
became enormously popular and the bony
and specialized madness OF Massachu-
setts became drug in the market. 1t
was still generally conceded that the
MASSACHUSETTS girl knew more about EN-
erson's philosophy and Alcott's Orphic
utterances than did her plumper rival,
but the merits of the former were not
longer able to awaken any enthusiasm.
The Boston poetical young man no longer
wrote sonnets expressing the emotions of
his heart on hearing the bones of his be-
loved rattle as she ran to greet him Mt
the gate, and the Boston youth of fash
ion no longer proposed at public dinners
the once familiar toast, Beauty and
Bones" in honor of the spare sex. In
fact, spare and angular girls went wholly
out OF fashion, and Massachusetts men
went outside the boundaries of New Eng
land when they sought for wives.

A FATAL SMoKE.-Mrs. Bridget Nc

in her bed, Thursday, having been suf-

to while away few moments in smOk-

she retired on Tuesday night. A spark

FREAKS OF CASTINGS. -Castings, says
contemporary, seem to manifest peculiar
freaks and irregularities for which it is
difficult to find cause. They occur
sometimes in the sand, sometimes in the
ventings, and often with wrong fac
ings. For instance, the quality Of fa,-
ings must always be graded, according to
the casting to be made, heavy or light,
deep or shallow. i'll the mold. Again, in
ferior coal in facing sands is detrimental.
Possibly the dealer IN foundry facings
has been grinding inferior stock, instead
of getting. a carbon in the form of coal dust
to stand the iron pouring against the
mold. There has been dirt and slate
ground in with the coal. This is cause
of scabby castings, together with too fine
a sand or sand without body, which
all molders dread except for very light
work. If molders could only have good
sands, good irons and good facings. and
the same stock supplied each time, there
would be little need Of complaint, but
the geology of our country is not such
as to admit of digging molding sand
ut every back door. when molding sand
costs from forty to fifty dollars car de-
livered in a foundry yard, as we know it
does in many instances.

Every article of merchandise, which is

barley, and few other articles.
He reads and writes from right to left.
He eats scarcely anything for break
fast, about as much for dinner, but after
the work of the day is done sits down to
u hot meal swimming in oil, or, better
yet, boiled butter.
His sons eat with him, but the females
of his house wait till his lorlship is done.
He rides donkey when travelling, his
wife wplking behind.
He laughs ut the idea of walking in
the street with his wife, or of ever
vacating his seat for Il woman.
He knows no use for chairs, tables,
knives, forks, nor even spoons, unless
they are wooden ones.
Bedsteads, bureaus and fireplaces may
