fisherman stopped, dumb with astonish-

up the face OF the mound, appeared the

the water was flowing in numberless

A few steps brought us to the chief
temple. Before 1t stood, surrounded
by railing, the tree concerning which
Abbe Hue tells US that its leaves bear
the natural impress OF Buddha's like
ness and of the Tibethan alphabet. We
sought IN vain for such phenomeni T.,
Neither image nor letters, but a wag-
gish smile playing around the corner
Of the mouth of the elderly priest es-
corting us. In answer to our inquiries
he informed US that, long time ago,
the tree really produced leaves with
Buddha's image. but that at present
the miracle was of rare occurrence.
\ few God favored men alone were
privileged to discover such leaves. The
last so favored was pious Mandarin,
who visited the monastery seven or
eight years ago. Next day Count
Szechenyi succeeded in finding a leaf
on which a rude likeness of Buddha
had been etched, probably with some
acid. The llamas allow 10 one to
pluck leaves or blossoms from the tree,
and the leaves that fall are carefully
collected and sold to the pilgrims as a
specific against affections of the larynx.
The tree belongs TO the Oleace, and i
believe it to be Syringa L (white lilac,
which in all probability reached Europe
originally from China.

YeutiIatIon of Stables.

Various suggestions regarding this all
important matter are being made IL
agricultural and other journals, remind
ing the writer OF careful study of the
subject that was forced upon him two
years ago. That Winter was very
severe, and frost and snow Theoretically
sealed all the crevices of his cattle barns,
SO that little aIr was admitted unless a
door or window was opened, and this
was at the risk of violent and dangerous
drafts, accompanied by sudden and
extreme change of temperature. In
Mid-winter the hair On the cattle be-
came dead, and was rapidly carded of.

was very truly attributed to bad air.
which, after considerable study, was
completely changed by very simple
and inexpensive arrangement. A ven
tilator from a warm stable can remove
| foul air as fast as fresh All Is supplied,
SO when the ordinary vertical air box is
made. the remedy is reduced to the
simple question of so admitting fresh
air as to introduce it freely to all parts
of the stable without making current.
This was done by the expedient of box
the entire length of the cattle stalls go
feet, about one foot square inside,
made of common lumber. This opened
to the outside air in two places; at each
wooden damper was put III to regulate
the supply. The bottom of this box
was pierced with 5000 one-haif inch
holes, through which air passed readily,
but with no effect of draft or chill. The
catt e in this stable stood with their
heads facing a central alley, and the box
was over this, hung to the ceiling, so as
the cool air was showered down, the
animals had it to breathe before 1t
pas ed under or behind them. As soon
as this was In operation marked change
was apparent. The cattle freshened
up, and in few days new hair came
where the old had worn off, and never
since has there been any sign of dead
hair upon them in Winter. This free
income of pure air, drawn high above
the surface of the groand, coupled with
the use of dry earth as an absorbent,
has So purified these stables that after a
long stay in them, no perceptlble odor
affects clothing. Indeed, no stable
smell remains, while 40 evil effects re-
suit from a constant change OF AIR when
introduced as specified. Fresh air Is
the vital elem Mt of health, and on the
hills OF our dairy counties the supply
from November to May is ordinarily
ample for all demands; it is, up TO the
present writing, not controlled by any
combinations, or likely to be locked up
by a ring. but in many and many a
stable (and house as well, it is as care
fully economized as if there was risk
of using 1t ali up with 10 chance OF
getting any more. A COW cannot give
wholesome milk without pure air, as
well as pure water, but thousands get
little OF either on farms where free
winds blow, and bright springs bubble.

ventilation, and it Is easier to let the
herd drink from yard pool than to
conduct water to them.

A bar Inquiry.

A stranger leaned over the bar OF a
Michigan avenue saloon the other day
and whisperingly inquired;
Partner, what Is the population OF
the United States?'
"Hari on to $4,000. 900, 1 believe, -
was the reply.
Its over 40, 900, 900 any how2'
"Oh, yes"
"You'll bet on thatP"
I'D like nothing better than to put
up $40 on it,
"Well, you'll have chance. There's
a chap down IN the shoe store who
claims that we haven't got 30, ,0CO, ,0OO
population, and he is bluffiug everybody.
III bring him up if you'll make bet
and take him down a peg
Bring him along"
The stranger went away and returned
with the buffer, who had no soone;
entered the saloon than he called out:
"Where's the man who says this
country has over 100000 pOpula-
tion?"
The saloonist modestly replied that
he was the man, and in less than 4
minute the two ten. dollar bills were
put INTO the hands of the first caller,
"There's new map in the store across
the way which has the last census fig

went over to see the matter settled.
The figures showed that the beer

When the guests haYe all arrived the
boys go tn work and pull great armfIlis
of hay from the NOV. which they spread
around the heap of corn. Then each
seats himself by his favolte girl, draws
a bundle of husks into the hay between
them, and the husking begins. Work
is by no means suffered, however, to
interfere with play. The merry joke
goes around; the stolen mitten travels
about the circle and back to its owner
at last. If girl happens to pull the
husk from a dark-red ear, she must for
felt kiss to the lad nearest or quickest
to snatch 1t. AS fast as the ears are re-
moved from the husks they are thrown
INTO separate piles, one for each party. on
opposite sides of the heap; aud there is
sure to be deal of pleasant rivalry to
see which side Will have the larger heap
of corn when the husking is done. 1t
is wonderful to see how fast the noun
tain of unhusked corn /, lowered,
though the farmer ami his boys keep
bringing fresh basketfuls and piliing
them ON the heap. A perfect storm of
the golden ears keeps raining on each
pile of corn. AS the supply of material
fails the contest wakes warmer. The
girls throw off their hoods and shawls,
and the boys fling aside their overcoats.
The warm blood of health rushes TO
each cheek, and the faster the hands fly
the brighter do the faces grow, and the
last few ears are scrambled for, by the
contending sides, and with shouts OF
merriment the husking is finished. The
victorious side is first served with re-
freshments. Great palefuls of dough-
nuts and ''frittert" and slices of snowy
cake, pie cut in generous pieces, cider
and apples, nuts and homemade candy
are passed around. The "old folks"
come stamping in by twos and threes,
ano are Immediately assailed with con-
fllcting stories of individual prowess and
associate achievement. and then stuffed
with good things to stop their laughing.
By II. 80 o'clock the festivities are over
and the merry company disperses two
and two. The farmer takes down the
lanterns, closes the big barn and retlres
to the kitchen to smoke his pipe and
calculate, how many bushels OF corn he
will have when it is 'fof the ear.

Egyptian knitting

The Egyptians of the present-kopts
as well as Arabs-ruu about with bare
feet. The ancient Egyptians, on the
contrary, who are now only to be seen
IN a dried condition in museums, pos
sessed a very good method of knitting
stockings as Is shown in the collection
at the Louvre, In Paris. In the grave
of a mummy there were found a pair Of
knitted stockings, which gave the sur
prising evidence, firstly, that short
stockings, resembling socks, were worn
by the ancient Egyptians and secondly,
that the art of knitting stockings had
already attained great perfection in an
cient Egypt. These curious stockings
are knitted in very clever manner,
and the material, fi.e wool OF sheep,
that might once have been white, Is now
brown with age. The needles with
which the work was done must have
been little thicker than We should
choose for the same purpose, and the
knitting is loose and elastic. The stock
ing Is begun just as we make the de-
sign, only IN the simplest manner, with
single thread but In the continuation
of the work it is not simply plain, but
fanciful. The usual border of the stock
ing which prevents the rolling up of the
work, is narrow, consisting OF row OF
turned loops and the circle. the nicely
shaped heel, which is little different
from our method, show Il very skilful
hand. But III the point OF the stocking
there is characteristic difference be-
tween the Egyptian stockings and our
modern SOCKS, While ours end in a
rounded point, the Egyptian stockings
run out III two long tubes OF equal
width, like the fingers of glove. IhIs
strange shape is made to suit the san
dals, which are furnished with strap,
fastened about the middle of the sandal;
and IS the strap has to be laid over the
stocking the division is needed.
