A Water Filter.

Serious sickness would often be averted
from the household if, among other SAM
tary regulations, none but filtered wa
ter was drank by it's members. Water may
look and taste like the purest. but still
contain disease germs that we would re-
treat from in horror if they but presented
themselves duly labeled. Wells, eisterns
and springs that occupy ground lower than
that of drains, vaults or barnyards, within
a hundred feet or more, should pc regarded
with suspicion, no matter now splendid"
the water may appear.
A good and efficient filter can be made in
this way: Take cask, remove ore end and
set upright. the open end at the top. At one
third Of the distance fro.L the bottom place
round partition, pierced with small holes.
On this arrange layer Of clean, small peb-
bles. and .oter them layer Of charcoaland
another of sand, topping it with more peb-
bles. Over this put another with holes in
it, or layer OF good sized stones, to pre-
vent the pebbles from being disturbed when
water is poured1n. A faucet is to be placed
in the bottom to draw off the water. A
pail of water and lump of ice placed in
the top of the cask and closely covered,
supplies the perfection Of drinking water
for twenty four hours.

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead: The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food, the nervous system, when vigorous
at night. A tonic, to be effective, should not
be mere APPETIZER, nor are the nerves to be
strengthened and soothed by the unaided ac-
ton of sedative or q narcotic. What is re-
quired is medicine which invigorates the
stomach and promotes assimilation of food
by the system, by which means the nervous
system, as we'll as other parts of the physical
organism arc strengthened. These are the ef-
fccts Of HO>tctter's Stomach Bitters, a mcdi.
cine whose reputation is founded firmly in
public confidence, and which physicians COM
mend for it's tonic, ant-biIlous and other
properties: 1t Is used with the best results in
fever and ague, Rheumatism, kidney AMI utter
inc weakness and other ualldics.

A Dust Bath,

Nothing the stock enjoy more at this sea-
son of the year than dust bath, and moth
ing will contribute more to their health and
cleanliness. As they quiver and shake it
off mark how bright and smooth it leaves
their hair. 1t seems to be the peer of wa
ter cleansing their hides. Witness horse
how he will roll in dry road-bed, or a
flock of cows, how they will stamp and
throw the dust all over their backs, at the
same tlmo shaking themselves and operat-
ing the ever active tail in removing it, leav-
ing the skin purged of all parasite vermin.
Give them MI u chance for frequent dust
baths. The chickens succumb to the Sc
ductive influences of the bath" the most
readily. therefore, give them all the ashes
for the purpose they require.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
By the flow Of the inland river

By the flow Of the inland river
Whence the fleets of iron have fed,
Where the blades Of the grave grass culver,
Asleep are the ranks Of tho dead,
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one, the Blue;
Under tho other, the Gray.
These in the robing Of glory,
Those in the gloom Of defeat,
All with the battle blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow. the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners 90,
Lovingly, laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the rose, the Blue;
Under the lilies, tho Gray
So with an equal splendor
The morning sun-rays fall
With touch impartially tender
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Broidered with gold, the Blue;
Mellowed with gold the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth
On forest aud field Of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip Of the rain;
Under tho sod and the dew,
Waiting tho judgment day;
Wet with rain, the Blue;
Wet with rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbralding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of years now fading
No drawer battle was won;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Ender the blossoms, the Blue;
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall tho war-cry sever,
Or the winding river be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laural the graves of our dead {;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears, for the Blue;
Tears and love, for the Gray

Shipping Bees to America.

From the Boston Herald.
The culture of bees in North Italy has
given rise to an industry which appears
likely to increase in Importance, namely,
The queen bees travel in wooden boxes &C.
companied by about 200 working bees.
The boxes have four Sits for air; inside
are two small frames, one containing full,
the other an empty honeycomb; they vary
in size according to the distance they are
sent. The italian bees have the reputation
of being more docile and productive than
any other kind of bees, hence their value.

A Pretty Apron.

Take about a yard and quarter of crash,
fine quality, and of good width. Make q
knotted fringe on each end, and three rows
of drawn work as already described. The
spaces may be little less than an inch
wide and not too far apart. Use no color,
only the white rawlings. When finished
fold the apron SO that the top fringe shall
just meet the work on the under side; pass
cotton cord and tassel between the folds
let the goods full slightly, so as to fit the
form and tack the cord in place. It makes
q jaunty, dressy apron for a young lady.
When 1t has served its purpose as an apron,
take out the cord and tassel and you have
q towel.

A citizen Of Rochester, N. Y, 10 having an
eolian harp erected on the tower Of his
residence. The sounding board is to be
made OF Norway pine, seven feet high, and
the back Of hard curled maple OF forty
five years. cut. These woods are all inn
ported, the small growth of European
woods giving them texture better adapted
to musical instruments than the home pro-
ducts. AS whole, the instrument is to b.
tube shaped, with eight slots in the tube.
The latter is to be surmounted With light
ming rod eight feet high, with q weather
cock attached. With every turn Of the
weather cock q slot is presented to the wind
and . string is made to vibrate.

ing produced the largest Photographic pic

taken by Herr Holtermann of Sydney: they
are mounted on an endless band of paper,
strengthened by linen, and are nearly one
hundred feet in length. Among the sub
jects are two colossal panaramos of the
cities Of Sydney and Melbourne, each made

Some recent experiments made to ascer-
tain the temperature of steam cylinders,
during the working Of the engine at various
speeds, show certain results not altogether
expected. The trials were made by a To-
connective hauling q light passenger train,
the steam being throttled except al highest
speed, and were continued through run
Of thirty-three miles. It was found that,
whereas when the engine was making fifty
revolutions per minute the instrument in
dicated change of temperature of 12O de-
grees at each stroke, at 100 revolutions per
minute the variation dropped to sixty de-
grees, at two hundred revolutions to thirty
degrees, aud at 800 revolutions to twenty
degrees. The interesting fact thus appears
of the amount of variation being inversely
proportional to the speed.

The Sleep Of Plants.

From the Edinburgh Review.
the so-called sleep of leaves consists, in
the main, of the fat leaves Of plants assum-
ing, towards evening or night, a vertical
position upon their footstalks, or of the
leaflets of compound leaves folding them
selves vertically together into a similar
(although inverted) position to the one
assumed by the wings of the butterfly when
the insect is at rest upon flower. All the
leaves which perform this movement have
cushions of soft cellular texture, known rs
pulvinuli, upon the footstalk Just beneath
the blade. It has been long known that
these soft expansions of the footstalks are
the efficient instruments of the mechanism.
The action is periodical, and dependent
upon the alterations of darkness and light.
The designation sleep of plants" was in
the first instance given to this movement
because it was conceived to be really kind
OF lassitude or exhaustion resulting from
the long continued strain of diurnal illu-
mination.
DR.. Darwin has shown that this nipht-
bending movement of leaves il itself only
one form OF circumutation. It is a large
orbital movement In vertical direction.
having period of twenty four hours. and
brought about by the unequal action of
