The Board of Education has adopted
McGuffey's Readers, as will be seen from
their notice in to-day's paper. After
perimenting with two other series
they come back to McGufey's with the
conviction that in all essentials of a
reader they never have been surpassed
and never will be, In this they are sus-
tanned by the action Of Richmond, Pc
tersburg, Lynchburg, and the largest
cities in the United States. Albemarle
and RocEbridge counties, CharIottes-
Vile, Lexington and Staunton, the
great centres of higher education in
Virginia have adopted McGuffey.
Along the Midland and Western Rail,
roads, county after county has come
back to McGuffey with a unanimitv
that would be incomprehensible did we
not know the book.
From Danvllle to Alexandria, from
Bristol to Norfolk, every county, but
four or five, has acted, and every one
changed the series in use for McGuffev.
And this action is based in every in
stance on the recommendation Of the
leading professional teachers of each

A writer to the Prairie Farmer
tried the experiment of flat and hill cul-
tivation for vines. This year squashes,
pumpkins, melons and other vegetables
were planted, part in hills and part fiat.
de recommends the level cultivation as
the best, as hot weather did greater
damage in the hills. In ten days the
difference was very marked. Although
the fiat cultivation was superior for a
dry season, the hill system is preferable
for O wet one.

with Princess Beatrice and any other
members of her family who are at the

of state appointed for the day, they after

The only part of the green's daily rou-
tine which never varies is the morning
work, which comes as regularly as that of
any clerk in the city, and everything is
done by her majesty with conscientious
thoroughness. The queen looks
into everything herself, and the
public have little idea of the prodigious
number and variety of the subjects which
come before her for decision. It is an
axiom among ali who have served the
queen that il they can only get their case

assured. At Windsor her life is more Ia
borioU5 than elsewhere. from the incessant
visitors ahd ceremonies. and the impossi-
bility Of getting away from the pomp and

which her majesty so much dislikes at the
castle as the innumerable sentries, who are
every where to be seen, and whose monot-
onous tramp never ceases aloug the east
terracs underneath the windows of the pri-
vate apartments.

Thunder.oChurning.

The thunder which accompanies the
lightning, writes one authority, as well
rs the snap attending the electric spark,
has not yet been satisfactorily accounted
for. Both, no doubt, arise from a COM
motion Of the air brought about by the
passage of electricity, but it is difficult
to understand how it takes place. Even
if this difficulty were cleared, there still
remains the long rolling of the thunder,
and its strange rising and falling to ac-
count for, the echoes sent between the
clouds and the earth, or between objects
ca the eartli's surface, may explain this
IA some extent, but not fully.
The principle involved in churning is
tue thorough agitation of the contents OF
the churn SO as to ca:,se the rupture Of
the minute Fat globules present in the
milk, and the incorporation or kneading
of these ruptured fat globules into larger
or smaller masses of butter. It is held
by so,ne authorities that the temperature
of the milk in summer should not exceed
62 degrees; and in very hot weather may
be under so; while during cold weather,
the milk should be about 2 degrees high
er when churning.
