SCIENCE CLUB.-Mr. Wallum on be-
ing escorted to the chair addressed the
club as follows: Gentlemen, I appre-
ciate the honor you have conferred up
on me in assigning the craftsmanship of
this club to my control. While the
requirement and dissemination of
knowledge is as you well know the
leading object of the club, permit me
to say a few words in regard to a sub
ject that l consider very important to
at least harmony among us. I refer to
the privilege of debate. 1 would sug-
gest that while personal explanations
are always in order, and so will be
heard, let nae beg of you gentlemen to
couch your language in other terms
than the expressive although rude dia-
lect of the plantation. l do not insist
upon this as rule, for sometimes a
crooked stick will knock down as MANY
persimmOns as straight one, but to
elevate and give dignity to your de-
bates by using, whenever possible,
choice English terms to express your
ideas. Gentlemen we are now ready
for business. The chair will appoint
Mr.. Trueman, resident engineer, to pre-
pare an essay on the feasibility of tun-
neling the Atlantic Ocean," Adjourn
ed sine die till next week.

A duel epidemic is raging among
Southern editors. The Elam-B Beirne
encounter of the other day has been
supplemented by another. That had a
political cast. Now the mantle of
chivalry, passing from grave to gay,
has fallen upon the shoulder of a
humorist. Thursday, John Annoy
Knox, one of the editors of Teras ,Sif-
ings, fought with David B. Sheahan, an
Irish sculptor, on Fiddler Island, off
Far ROckaway, New York. At the
first fire both missed, though Sheahan
was considered a dead-shot. Knox
was hit at the second fire. But the
Olympian divinity protecting journal
lists ordained that the humorist should
be only slightly wounded. Teras ,Sitt-
ings can, therefore, continue to joke

LAGER BEER AND INsANITY.-In-
sanity is said to be increasing at an
alarming rate in Germany, and lager
beer drinking is said to be the cause.
Suicide and Bright's disease are also
admitted to be among the pleasing eff

Surgeons say that the most trouble
some patients they have to treat are
beer drinkers. There is no heal up to

The treatment of the bark of fruit tree,

they have publicly expressed, that tree
perfectly healthy will throw off its use
less bark in its own way, i'll its own proper
time. without amy aid but nature. I'm
fortunately, our methods of culture are
too often against nature, and it is rare to
iind trees so thoroughly vigorous and
healthy that they can dispense with the
fostering hand of man. We have, there

There is no poetry about tine hen. She
does not appeal to the finer feelings in
any way. No housewife would pay any
attention to moral lesson to be derived
from hen. She has no morality, her
diligence and intellect are equally incon-
spicuous the one is not called for, the
other is irrcmediably wanting. Milton
damns her informally. The poets gener-
ally look upon her with but contemptu-
ous recognition of her existence. The
sight of her comfortable form and home
ly presence inspires the boy with irresist-
ible lOnGings to throw a stone ut her and
chase her clucking round the farmyard
His mo.her, indeed, cuffs his ears for this
contraband method of developing his
physical powers and accuracy Of aim :;
but the hen is too foolish TO watch the
retribution even from the door Of the
hen-house, md is as undigniiied and
noisily alarmed on every subsequent occa-
sion.
The goodwife herself does not scrlple
TO take advantage of the hens lack of
ratiocinative power, and induces her to
lay scores and hundreds of eggs, instead
of the paltry dozen or so nature intended
her to produce. The hen never suspects
that she is being made convenience of,
and goes on year after year endeavoring
to make up nest taking no lesson from
the happier experience more favored
birds, or even Of the occasion when she
herself was allowed to bring up brood
and grow proud and self-sutlicient among
her companions. Who ever heard of n
hen that fed abstemiously that she might
remain slim and not be eaten? She comes
rushing along with unseemly haste when
ever any one calls. "Tucky tuck-tuch-
tuck tucky"-itself an absurd and de-
meaning formula, suitable only for hen
-gluttony in every feather and lack oi
grace in every movement, She never
distinguishes between the cry of the boy
who summons her for his private ends
and of the mistress who is perhaps going
to select one of the flock for dinner.
Up she comes and takes no warning
and shows no concern when her sister il
snatched away from her side, has hei
neck drawn, and is actually plucked il
her presence. Perhaps she even carries
off some Of the feathers to decorate that
make believe nest Of hers. In countries

In selecting pig best suited fol con-
verting food into pork there are several
matters to be observed. and these should
be paramount mt the outset, as no after
care can compensate for errors of seleG-
ton. Finencss Of bone insures having
bu. little oildl, and pig with fine bons
seldom dlsapp0ints his owner when he is
slaughtered. \ broad, dshcl face, with
snout short and turned up, indicates an
aptitude to fatten, and is one Of the surest
indications of n good pig No hog should
have brlstles, as these have been bred
away from all of the best breeds, and
they will not be tolerated at present on
any respectable farm, Tor they indicate
coarsencss, restlessness and preponder-
ance Of oilal. Besides these outward in
dicalions, which include squareness of
form, iineness of hair, and depth and
length of carcasc, the propensities Of the
pig should be observed. He should not
be a squealer, nor should he be restless.
He should eat quietly, and after his hun
ger Is appeased should patiently lie down,
without even travelling around his pen
AS rule, the disposition Of the pig and
his propensities correspond to his form,
and but few errors viii be made if the
selection of the pig is made MS directed.
No corn should be fed until lust previous
to hardening the int. aud all heating or

birth the domestic fowl enjoys, however,
a more tolcrnble existence. In Buddhist
lands she is not kept for feed. 1t is only
when the white mans servant mistakes
her for a wild bird that she goes to the
pot, and her owner is consoled for the loss
by sundry pieces of silver. Even in
these places, however, mems serve only as
means of obtaining more cocks, and of
furnishing material for the diyincrs to
seek auguries and make sacrifices to the
aerial spirits. The hen still appears as
little more than convenience mani
festation necessary for the acquisition of
more desirable things, but still in herself
commonplace and of light value.
