POPULAR SCIENCE.

What reasons had been advanced by
Mr.. Howorth to establish his hypoth-
esis that the mammoth had suddenly dis
appeared from Siberia do not appear to
be sufficient. Mr.. O. Reid says that the
mammaliferous deposits cannot have
been formed all at once, as there are
numerous sheets of clear ice presenting
strata which must have been successive
ly frozen.
Before one can safely say that milk
has been adultered, it is necessary to
teke into account the percentage Of fat
as we'll as that of solids not fat. Mr..
B. Dyer has made analysis of the milk
of COWS, stall fed and at grass, showing
that the milk of the former is the rich
er, and that an individual COW we'll fed
can frequently give milk yielding an
average of 81 per cent solids, not
fat.
Considerable interest is now felt in
ballooning, and the lovers of eronautics
are evidently determind that SOME
thing shall be done to increase the
usefulness of this department of science.
The balloon society formed in England
some months ago is now followed by a
similar association in Berlin which in
tends to hold an @ronautical exhibition
at some time during 1882. Among the
plans proposed to the British Balloon
Society is that of a balloon to be kept
under control by means of compressed
gas. The gas would be stored in q
suitable tank under pressure, and the
ballon would be reduced in size or en-
larged at pleasure by admitting or with.
drawing gas-which might be effected
by simply turning crank. The bal
loon would OF course fall when reduced
in size, and rise as it became expanded
SO that ballast and waste of gas would
be rendered unnecessary. Improve
ment in another direction is still sought
by asronauts who are striving to travel
considerable distances in predeter.
mined courses. Little success has at
tended these efforts.

Cannot Say, Farewell.

I cannot say the sad farewerll,
For oh tits fraught with pain
Yet passions deep the bosom swell,
AS sorrow breaths sad refrain.
Perchance nevermore shall see
The light of thy sweet loving eyes,
As sails my bark DER life's great sea,
Meath Natures ever-ch angling skies.
/ can but fondly breathe thy name,
To rise ON wings of holy prayer,
For thou art still to me the same
AS when those sunny days, so fair
With golden skies, shone from above
And bathed thy form with light divine,
When last saw thee, maid of love,
Beheld those quivering lips of thine.
And why should loved ones ever part'
Because it is fate's stern decree.
Yet still the brave and manly heart
Will fondly breath ofheaven and thee !;
For oh cannot say farewell
To those my soul doth fondly love /;
Yet in my memory thou shalt dwell
Like gems in Gods great throne above.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


Mango in Horses.
This is caused by an insect. White
wash the stable and stalls with lime
and cover the floor also with it, as the
mango insect will live upon the wood
work for some months, and return to
the horse if not destroyed. Treat as
follows for the disease: Make an oint-
ment of lard, twelve parts, carbolic
acid, one part, and sulphur, two PARTS.
Rub these together thoroughly, until it
is we'll mixed and smooth. Work some
of this ointment into the affected por-
tion of the skin twice day. Give an
ounce of flour of sulphur daily in the
feed, until the perspiration of the horse
smells strongly of it, then discontinue
it, but continue the use of the oint-
ment for some time longer, until the
skin recovers healthy appearance.

How an Armless Curiosity Was Made.


Felipe Honali lost parts of both arms
in a railroad accident in New Mexico,
and while recovering in hospital had
plenty of time to consider the problem
of how to get living in the future.
The railroad company gave him $4,000,
and the alternatives that seemed to pre-.
sent themselves were those of living
we'll on that amount while it lasted and
living miserably on the interest. But
he hit upon singular plan for remun-
erative employment. He had seen arms
less men in side shows, and he resolved
to sacrifice his own useless stumps, thus
qualifying himself for human curiosity.
1t was long time before he could in
duce any surgeon to make the fresh am.
putation, buthe has at length found one
who took his view of the utility OF the
operation. He will soon present the
! appearance of having been born armless

To boil potatoes successfully: When
the skin breaks, pour off the water and
let them finish cooking in their own
steam.
In making crust of any kind, do
not melt the lard in flour. Melting
will injure the crust.
To remove old paint, cover with a
wash of three parts quick stone lime,
slaked in. water to which one part pear
lash is added. Allow the coating to
remain for sixteen hours, when the
paint may be easily scraped off.
Iron or steel immersed in a solution
Of carbonate of potash or soda for few
minutes will not rust for years, not even
when exposed to damp atmosphere.
A thin coat of varnish applied to straw
mating will make it much more dura-

Successful Poultry Raising.

In raising poultry or stock of any
kind, it should be the aim of every one
to keep it healthy and improve it.
You can do it very easily by adopting
some systematic rules. These may be
summed up in brief, as follows
l. Construct your house good and
warm, so as to avoid damp floors and
afford flood of sunlight. Sunshine ia
better than medicine.
Q. Provide busting and scratching
place where you can bury wheat and
corn, and thus induce the fowls to take
needful exercise.
8. Provide yourself with some good
healthy chickens, none to be over three
or four years old, giving one COOK to
every twelve hens.
4. Give plenty of fresh air at all times
of the year, especially in SUN mer.
5. Give plenty of fresh water daily,
and never allow the fowls to go thirsty.
6. Feed them systematically two or
three times day, and scatter the food
so they can't eat too fast or without prop.
er exercise. Do not feed more than
they will eat up clean, or they will get
tired of that kind of feed.
7. Give them variety of both dry
and cooked food; mixture of cooked
meal and vegetables is an excellent
thing for their morning meal.
s. Give soft feed in the morning, and
the whole grain at night, except little
wheat or cracked corn placed in the
scratching place to give them exercise
during the day.
8. Above all things keep the hen
house clean and we'll ventilated.
10 Do not crowd too many in one
house. If you do, look out for
disease.
IL. Use carbolic powder in the dust
ing bins occasionally to destroy lice.
10. Wash your roosts and bottom of
| laying nests, and whiie-wash once q
week in summer, and once a month in
winter.
13. Let the old and young have as
large range as possible-the larger
the better.
IA. Don't breed too many kinds o.
fowls at the same time, unless yor
are going into the business. Three OF
four will give you your hands full.
| Is Introduce new blood into your
stock every year or SO, by either buy
ing cockerel or sittings of eggs from
some reliable breeder.
16. In buying birds Or eggs, 60 tc
some reliable breeder who has, his re
putation at stake. You may have te
pay little more for birds, but you car
depend on what you get. Culls are
not cheap at any price.
II. Save the best birds for mex
years breeding and send the others tc
market. In shipping fancy poultry tt
market send it dressed.

JUDGE RANDOLPH did not deserve
the cruel treatment he received at
the hands, or rather from the
threats of some Of Maj. Pettibone's
followers here last Monday. Judge
Randolph is a gentleman. A sober,
quiet, well-behaved person, He is
a member of the Baptist church and
has the reputation in his own coun-
try and among the members of that
large and respectable denomination
of christians of being liberal con-
tributor to, as well as that of a man
in good standing in his church. He
is an aged man, gray-haired. He
has been placed in positions of high
honor by his fellow citizens in past
years, and has always maintained
himself with responsibility. He did
nothing here that day to merit the
coarse insults that were heaped
upon him. If such man as Judge
Randolph cannot get up before an
audience of East Tennessee people
and make a speech without being
hooted down andoutrageously treat
ed by the followers of the Big Boss,
il is time the conservative people
of this Congressional District were
putting on their thinking caps. "
Where are we drifting? Has it
come to this-that an old man, a
citizen who has been born and rails
ed here in East Tennessee, who has
been elected to the State Legisla-
ture, elected a Judge and elected to
the Congress of the United States
by the people who knew HIM, has
to be howled down from the stand
and driven in humiliation from. the
Courthouse yard, because he dares
to announce himself candidate for
Congress against Maj. A. II. Petit
bone? This indeed is Bossism with
q vengeance. This is carrying
things with a high hand. Is this a
free country? Are the people OF
the First Congressional District of
Tennessee freemen? Or have they
the yoke-ef Boss Pettibone fastened
upon. their necks, If free discus
sion, free speech is to be put down
in this country, it is time the peo-
pie were knowing it. Our most sa-
cred liberties depend upon the f CO.
dom of political discussion, and the
American people cannot afford to
surrender that, great right. Il is a
small matter to the people who goes
to Congress from this District this
year, but Is aSmatter of grave inn
p0rtance that the right of free
speech in this country shall be fully
maintained.

Having carried his State for the
Republican party by very handsome
plurality, Mr.. Blaine is again loom
ing up before the Stalwarts as the
dangerous leader Of the majority
faction that went out Of power when
Garfield went to the grave. If it
had been possible for the Republi-
can party to spare Maine this year,
the Stalwart leaders would have pre-
ferred Fusion success rather than
a Blaine victory. But for risking
the loss of Senator and the equally
important loss of Congressman dis
asters that would have been fatal
we can have no room to doubt that
all Stalwart help would have been
withheld from the Maine canvass
and Mr.. Blaine left to fight the
fusion against the sympathies OF the
Stalwarts. As it is Mr.. Blaine ap
pears with new prestige, and Is
more than ever, the idol of the lie

RUSSELL, or Few-sell, don't look
much like a Governor. lie is a
soft, delicate looking little fellow,
and ought to have prudent, elder

little gentleman had on a nice white
dress, with his hair fashionably friz-
zed, blue sash around his delicate
waist and rosebud and a gerani-
UNI leaf stuck on at his throat, he
would pass for a very handsome
Sunday-school girl of uncertain age
but as a Governor, Gewhilikins
he's too soft and delicate and smells
too much of cinnamon draps. We

AN INTERVIEW CONCERNING
TIE SThTE BONDS.

WAERLY, Sept. 2s.-In brief
interview with Mr.. III. r.. Lucas, jr.,
of Louisiana, a highly intelligent
LAWYER. Just from the office of Comp
troller Nolan, in New York city, and
now en- route to his home, he stated
that the funding of bonds was
steadily progressing, and that So
500 600 in bonds had been received.
A World reporter, who interviewed
him as he passed through Fashville,
few days ago, made him to say
that Nolan, Polk and Num- had
each up to the present time received
SlI,OO as compensation for fund
ing, when it was Gil, 900 to be d.
vided between the three. He ar
rives at his statement in the follow
ing manner:
OF the ss,5OO,OOO, it has taken
$500 bonds of ell denominations,
and since the fee is 81 per each bond
$500 multiplied by 81 equals SILL
200. to be divided between Nolani
Num- and Polk. i make this cor
rection at his request. He states
that the average amount received
per day is $4,000. Among the
funders of bonds, he saw one gentle
man bring in $4,000 belonging to
widows and oephans. He spoke OF
the similarity of levee and other
debts Of Louisiana to Tennessee :
debt, and seemed to think that the
suit now pending against that State
would have its weight upon the
State debt Of Tennessee. The bonds
were owned by New Hampshire and
New York. Said bonds were issued
during the Yarmouth and carpet
bag administration. The case will
be brought up for trial some time
this fall
