GENERAL NEWS.

Arrangements of Several New England Roads
Favor the Standard Time Proposed.
New England railway managements, most of
whom have been slow in expressing their opin-
ion as to the move to adopt the new standard
railway time, are now showing more interest in
the matter. The Boston Journal says that not
much Roadway has, mp to the present time, been
made in securing the consent of the roads of
New England. but as there seems to be a
disnostion upon the part of the officials OF these
roads to join IN the change, it Is quite probable
that the new standard will be adopted for this
section of the country as we'll as elsewhere. At
present there are some fifty different standards
yn use by the roads of this country and Canada
The new system proposes to reduce this number
10 five, which are to include the stretch of coun-
try from Nova Scotia to the Pacific coast.
The first standard will include the country
through which the Intercoloniat railway of Can
ada operates, with its central meridian 600 west
from Greenwich. The next will include New
England and New York, with meridian 75o west
from Greenwich as the central point. The adop-
ton Of this scheme would require the Boston
ward just sixteen minutes. and If the railroads
throughout New England adopt the new stand
ard the result would probably follow that all
Ut watches and clocks would soon be changed
to the same standard Otherwise there would
he considerable confusion in business and other
circles. The third standard will be arranged to
cover the region extending from Pennsylvania
to the westward, with meridian 800 west OF
Green wich for central point. The other stand
nrds would have 1859 and 900 west from Green
witch for their central meridians.

Selecting Corn Seed.

H. j. moore, IN Iowa homestead
l cannot too strongly insist upon the ne
cessity that all farmers should pick their
seed corn in the fall. 1 was one of the very
few farmers in Iowa who did not have to re-
plant this season. Here is my plan, pursued
with success for thirty years
As soon as corn is in the dough I take
sack upon my shoulder, and passing between
the rows, select the largest and ripest ears
As soon as l have enough picked to take care
of that half day [ take the ears home, strip
them and hang them in punches in a dry
place rejecting all that may prove defective
in any way. Never pick all day and pile the
ears up, and never leave them all night I'M
hung.
If corn can be hung in a granary or other
dry place where the mice will not modest it,
it may hang till spring, but as 1 have no
mce-proot building l adopt the following
plan: 1 hang as m UGH as l have room for
in the cook-room, and as soon as it is thor
ouqhly dry l shell it into iron powder can
nisters, holding about three gallons each
and having small holes punched for the ad-
mission of air. These are mice-proof.
then fill up the cook-room ceiling again with
punches of seed and proceed as before
The main ideas are these: Corn should be
selected long enough before frost to be per-
fectly dry. 1t must not be heated in piles,
It must not be housed in too large bulk,
and it must be kept dry. Other details are
of minor considerations.

We do not hesitate to say that for year past
we have sold more OF Swift's Specific Is. s. 81
than all other Blood Purifiers combined, and
with most astonishing results. One gentleman
who used half dozen bottles, says that it has
done him more good than treatment which cost
him 81 900. Another who has used it for a
scrofulOus affection reports a permanent cure
from its use.

merleaze, an open down at Bude over
looking the sea, he deserted "a long low
dark object, about mile and hal,
from the shore, Swimming along tho
surface of the sea, the back OF the
creature being little above the top of
water. 1t kept on its course
at n rate which / calcn.
lated he to about twenty-five miles
an hour, never once disappearing on
tirely the whole time il was IN sight u
IL was under the Wears observation
and some friends who were with him
watched 1t too-for about ten minutes
The creatures length was vaiiouslv
estimated to be from fifty 10 eirhtS
leet. Just once larger mass an.
peareu ont OF the water than ut any
other time, and then not more thny
Tor u couple of seconds. This was AT
the END, apparently, OF the creature,
but IL scarcely looked like tail. 1t
seemed more like a curl in some long
thih monster" Now, what could this
creature have been? Could 1t possibly
nave been whale? We should say
not, II the curl at what seemed the
end of the monster was dis
tinctly made out. Whales have not
got curly tails, and to whatever length
"a whale might grow, however attenu-
ated lie might become, IL appears inn
possible that he should be able TO make
kink in his body. If we are to credit
the opinion OF a writer of one of the
extremely useful handboolis recently
issued in connection with the fisheries
exhibition, we shall incline to think
that the vicar of Bude's monster was n
gigantic octopus. The author of that
little work on sea monsters has come
TO the confusion that the enormous
size To which the octopus
attains, the extraordinary
length TO which il sometimes
extends its arms upon the surface of
the sea, accounts for all the sea-sefpent
stories that have been heard OF in
times ancient and modern. Hemay be
right; he makes out n plausible case at
any rate, and yet there is no reason
that We have ever been able TO admit
for ridiculing the notion that veritable
sea.serpents do exist. Men of unques.
tionable veracity, including highly
placed officers in the queens navy,
with faculties specially shai pened in
! the observation of all manner of sights
at sea, have declared distinctly that
| they lave seen travelling through
| the ocean creatures that
could only be described rs
| gigantic sea-serpents. They have
been assured by land philosophers that
| they must have been mistaken, and
maybe the philosophers We're right
! that in the matter of marine monsters
no man can rely upon the evidence OF
his senses. But this is an age of dis
coverv, there is nothing impossible in
the existence of sea-serpents, and nc
man can say whether his own littl,
ones, when they grow up, may moi
| find one of those creatures added 10 tn,
