locomotive weighs about 5 tons, and

through q reservoir of hot water and

vents the freezing OF moisture in the

Beans as Food For Sheep.

d correspondent of the Country Gen.
nen,an says: have been in the habit
of feeding beans and bean straw to my
breeding ewes for several years, and
have never experienced any bad results,
having fed literally of both. Beans
and bean fodder are as natural for sheep
as hay and oats for horses. Our custom
is to feed poor beans-the pickings.
We buy them of the dealers, paying
ordinarily % cents per bushel, depend
ing somewhat upon the supply. I con-
slider them the best and cheapest food
for breeding ewes up to about yeaning
time, when two parts bran, and one
part corn meal, should be fed ut least
once a day, and liberal feeding Ol
roots once q week through the winter.
My ewes thus far have had only straw
and beans, with an occasional feed oi
roots, at the rate of about pint each
day, fed morning and evening. They
have pure water every day, which
consider essential. l care more to have
my ewes in good condition and strong
than to fear that certain kinds of food
are injurious. More lambs are lost BY
lean, weak mothers than by overfed
ones. 1t is worthy Of remark that in
ewes fed for market, if an occasional
one happens tv be in lamb, che alway
brings forth strong, vigorous lamb
really making eve and lamb, worth
more than the average Of the flock.

CONVERTING CIDER INro VINEGAR
Various methods for fastening tho con-
version OF cider into vinegar. have
been recommended. A recent French
method, which seems practicable. is the
following: Scald three barrels or casks
with hot water, rinse thoroughly and
empty. Then scald with boiling vine.
gar, rolling the barrels and allowing
them to stand on their sides two or
three days, until they become thor
oughly saturated with the vinegar.
The barrels are then filled about one
third full with strong, pure cider vine
gar. and two gallons Of cider added.
Every eighth day thereafter two
gallons OF cider are added, until
the barrels are two-thirds full. The
whole is allowed to stand fourteen
days longer, when it will all be found
to be good vinegar, and one-half of il
may be drawn and the process of filling
with cider be begun again. In summer
the barrels are allowed to stand exposed
to the sun, and in cold weather KEEP
where the temperature is eighty de
grees.

English Pensions.

The perm pensions in England
are reat evil. Some 900 years ago,
for i',atauce, Charles lis illegitimate
son, Dake Of Richmond, was given a
pension of $95 600 year, and as his
children were born, they were also
pensioned. These pensions were to be
continued forever to their posterity, or
to whomever the holders might sell the
pension. Lord Nelson's family re-
ceived well-deserved pension, but
they having died out, the pension is
now drawn by family dstantlv con-
Gected with the original. William
Penn's descendants being tories, were
deprived Of the gorerIotShip of Penn
sylvania, and the B ilish Government
gave them perpetual pension, but
Pennsylvania afterwards paid them
500, 900 for their supposed rights, and
so as they had lost nothing, there vaS
nothing to pension them for. but their
heirs continue to draw the money Just
tho same. When Florida was coded tc
Spain. about century ago. the English
attorney general was given pension tC
make up for the lose o! his Office, and
bis heirs are at tho preseut time draw
ing This pension annually. Many o.
these pension-claims arc bought und
sold in the market like stocks, and wher

abolition. the cry of population wa,
raised The Government is anxious tt
stop these pensions, but lacks the cour

NoxIoUs DRUGS TO oHoRsEs.-Groems

ing these, wholly careless or ignorant
Of their injurious effect. This is par.
tieulnrly the case with arsenic, which
they freely use, in order to give horses
q finer and more showy coat Of hair.
We often hear of cases of death of
horses from this cause, both at home
aud abroad. 1t is an imperative order
from rs to our stablemen to never give
medicine of any kind to our animals
without first consulting US. In some
European countries, particularly in
Hungary, We have heard that the 10 ower
class OF females are almost lnsanely ad.
dicted to the habit of taking arsenic, to
improve the complexion of the face.
In short time the system gets 80 &C.
customed to this dangerous drug, ths.

single dose to kill half q dozen stout
men. But continuation of these
doses for few years is sure to result in
premature death.-I Raral New Yorker.

AN ABsENT-M1NDEp MAN.-Professor
Sylvester, the distinguished mathema
tician of Johns Hopkins University, is
describeii by the B"ston Courier as one
of the most absent minded of men. Oue
day he set out absorbed in profound
meditation to go to his lecture room.
Arrived at place where the gaspipe
was being taken up, he looked helpless
ly at the ditch moment; then, iustesi
of stepping into the street and going
around, he quietly returned home. The
next morning the sidewalk was still ont
of place and his class had second hol-
iday. On the third morning plank
had been laid across tho chasm, over
! xhich the absent minded professor
walked and vent On his way r. .jpicing.
Every SUMMER he goes to England, 81 q
one year he had reached Philadelphia
or the return, when he missed pape'
upon which he had written the result
of certain abstruse calculations. Turn
ing upon his track he had recrossed the
ocean and had got as far as Liverpool,
when he found the missing document
10 his pocketbook, where he had turned
it over q score of times while on his
way to England in search of it.
"ODp PEOPLE E"-Undoubtedly odd
people have their consultations. In the
first place they are quite sure not to bf
weak people. Every one with d marked
individuality has always this ono great
blessing-he can stand alone. In Iii.
pleasures and his pains he is sufficient
to himself, and if he does not get sym
patty he eau generally do without it
Also peculiar people, though mol
attractive to the maHy, by the few who
do love them are sure to be loved very
deeply, as we are apt to love those who
have strong salient points, and in whom
there is great desl to get over. Aud
even if unloved they have generally
great capacity of loving-a higher and
it may be. o safer thing. For affscti'r
that rests on another's love often leant
on broken reed; love which rests o,
itself is founded on rock and cannO

may rave around it; but there it is, an6
there it will abide.
The sweetest and most signal revenge
to infiict upon enemies who seek Il
beIittle our labors or underestimate
our abilities is to do everything well
to lead irreproachable iyes, to carr
popular confidence and respect, to es
chew all but Iaudable undertakings. t.
