IT has been discovered that cabbage may
be prevented from rotting after freezing
simply by cutting them open, or by making
one or two incissions IN them with knife.
After freezing, the cabbages commence to
decay in the center, caused by the heating
inside, When opened sufficiently to let out
the heated gasses and enable them to be-
come cold at the center, they will not de-
cay. Mrs. G. Il. Boatman. of Ruby valley,
NJ. r., is entitled to the credit Of making
this very important discovery. Our farm
ers who have had the misfortune to let their
cabbage become frozen will do we'll to take
the precaution to cut them when gathering,
and thus avoid loss. The frost will draw
out If lett standing on the ground, or by
covering with earth, but in storing they
should be opened to the center to prevent
decay.

"Unwinding."

The thieves who infest the lower part
Of the Boweiy at night have word
which, if it is not new TO them in the
sense in which they are using it, is new
in that significance to most readers. 1t
is not uncommon for a stranger who
strays into the Bowery late at night
considerably intoxicated to find himself
in the morning " unwound." He would
not be likely to thus describe himself,
but to the thieves the word defines the
process through which he has passed.
While making his uncertain way along
that thoroughfare the stranger has been
caught by the arms and led into one of
the many dens which keep open doors
all night. His coat and vest are unbut-
toned, grasped by their fronts and
wound off from him with a single mo-
tion while he stood just inside the
threshold. The muscles of his arms,
being incapable of that rigidity which
sober man might impart to them,
offered no obstacle to the process OF un-
winding. After the rotation thus inn
parted to the stranger had ceased he
found himself standing on the sidewalk
with only vague idea of the direction
whence he came. The thieves were
richer by the value of the coat, vest,
perhaps the watch, and maybe a guam
| tity of loose change in the vest pockets.
Those who profit by unwinding do not
scon such trihes even as pocket hand
kerchiefs and odd nickels.-HUper'

First Time at Church.

A grave sweet wonder in thy baby face,
And look Of mingled dignity and grace.
Such as a painter hand might love to trace.
A pair of trusting, innocent blue eyes,
That higher than the stained-gass window rise
Into the fair and cloudess summer Skies
The people round her sing, Above the sky
There's rest for little children when they die -"
To her-thus gazing up-that rest seems nigh.
The organ peals; she must not look around,
Although with wonderment her pulses bound,
The place whereon she stands is holy ground.
The sermon over, and the blessing said
She bows-as "mother" does = her g0Ido
head;
And thinks of little sister who is dead.
She knows that now she dwells above the sky
Where holy children enter when they die,
And prays God take her there too, by-and-bye.
Pet, may He keep you in the faith alway,
And bring YOU to that home for which you p ray
Where all shall have their child-hearts back
one day.

lace.
The real novelty in ribbons is The
double-woven ribbon without selvage or
seam.
Steel is used to trim rather simple
jackets as we'll as those of rich ma

In 1877 NJ. de Lavergne estimated
the value of the agricultural produce OF
France at 81, 100000, ,000-including
wine, cattle and all other products OF
the soil. In 1878 Mr.. Caird, who is to
England what M. de Lavergne is to
France, estimated the total value OF the
agricultural products Of the United
Kingdom at S7S3, 100000. The area Of
France is double that of the United
Kingdom.

FOR THE LADIES.
The Russian Priests wife.

There is only one happy woman in
Russia; it is the priests wife; and it is
a common mode of expression to say,
Gas happy as a priests wife" The
reason why she is happy is because her
husbands position depends upon her.
If she dies he is deposed, and becomes
a mere laymen; his property Is taken
away from him, and distributed half to
his children and half to the government
This dreadful contingency makes the
Russian priest careful to get a healthy
wife, if he can, and makes him take
extraordinary good care of her after he
has got her. He waits upon her in the
most abject way. She must never get
her feet wet, and she is petted and put
in hot blankets if she has so much as a
cold in her head. 1t is the greatest
possible good fortune for girl to
marry priest, infinitely better than to
be the wife of noble.

Women of Many Husbands.


1t is asserted that lady in Calhoun
county, ILL.,, although seventy years old,
has recently married her sixth husband.
Her last deceased husband was named
Race, and the man she has just married
is named Farris. A romantic feature of
her last matrimonial venture is the fact
that Mr.. Far1is was her first love, but
cruel fate intervened and prevented
their union. All her dead husbands are
buried in the family graveyard upon the
farm on which she resides, and her
present husband, as he counts the green
mounds, will have ample opportunity to
reflect on the uncertainty of married
life. OF another woman, living in Geor-
gia, it is related that she has had five
husbands. She married four widowers
in succession. The first widower lived
one and half miles from the lady, when
she was widow; the second, third and
fourth lived about the same distance from
one another, so that she had in turn charge
of each of the residences, and she is
now living happily with her fifth hus-
band within seven miles of her original
home.

tons of which we're lovely trapezist
named Emma Jutau and learned pig,
exhibited nightly by Tanti, the leading

Moscow's wealthiest and most extravagant
''curled darlings" have greatly distin-

these professional celebrities. Having
ascertained that Mile. Jutau had taken q
violent fancy to particular horse be-
longing to Salamonsky's performing
stud, they promptly purchased the ami
NAL for an amount equal to 9600, and
presented it to her. It then occurred to
them that they would like to eat the
learned pig; so they opened negotiations
with Signor Tanti, it's guide, philoso-
pher and friend, for the acquisition of
that accomplished creature. Tanti, who
loved his pig, and was sentimentally re-
luctant to part with it, set upon it, more

The rule, as generally stated. is 500

The rule, as generally stated, is 500
cubic feet of hay to ton, but to this
Like many other rules, there are many
exceptions. If one had a NOW of very
feet would weigh nearly a ton. and on
fine June grass he would find that 400
the top of a NOV OF coarse timothy it
would take more than 500 feet. Taking
hay OF fair average fneness, and averag-
ing top and bottom of the NOW, 500 feet
might approximate so near as to enable
person to make tolerably good guess.
The oats, wheat and rye upon the top of
the NOW would compress it to such a
degree that less number of feet would
be required to the ton, but in what ex-
act ratio we could not state exa city.
Given a NOV thirty feet long, seventeen
feet wide and sixteen feet high; these
multiplied together give $3.50 cubic
feet; this should weigh 16B tons. Ii one
is enabled to deliver sixteen tons of hay
we should consider it close estimate.
The best breed for those who desire
to raise early chickens for market, is
undoubtedly the Plymouth Rock, and
the next best, the old-fashioned Ameri.
can Dominique. The chicks of both
breeds are hardy, grow rapidly, and
feather up quickly-three very desirable
qualities for early market chickens.
The only advantage that the Rocks have
over the Dominiques is in point of size;
a Plymouth Rock chick twelve weeks old
will weigh one-third more than Dom
Unique of the same age, and that extra
half pound or so makes an immense diff
ference in the price. A cross between
good common hens and Plymouth Rock
cock will produce good chicks for a
spring market, or for table use; l rank
this cross next to pure Dominiques.
Brahmas and Cochins when twelve
weeks of age make good boilers, as
every one who has given them fair
trial will testify, but they wilIno do for
early market, for the single reason that
they are not feathered up enough at
that age to look well, and chickens that
do not look well will not sell well.

cruel deed

And sod to move on barely one foot square,
Hung Ger dark street midst foul and murky air.
From freedom brought.
And robbed of every chance of wing,
Thou couldst have had no heart to sing,
One would have thought.
But tho ugh thy song is sung men little know
The yearning source from which those sweet note
flow.
Poor little bird
AS often think of thee,
And how thou longest to be free,
My heart is stirred,
And, were my strength but equal to my rage,
Methinks thy eager would be in this cage.
The selfish mani H
To take thee from thy broader sphere,
When thousands heard thy music clear.
On Natures plan; s.
And where the listening landscape far and wide
Had JOY, and thou thy liberty beside.
A singing slave
Made now; with no return but food;
No mate to love, nor little brood
To feed and save;
No cool and leafy haunts; the cruel wires
Brave little bird
Still striving, with thy sweetest song,
To melt the hearts that do thee wrong,
give my word
To stand with those who for thy freedom fight,
Who claim for thee that freedom is thy right.
