HEALTH RULES.

A great deal is written
about laws of hygiene now
adays, but here are q few
simple rules for keeping
healthy that contain more
substance than q volume of
learned advice:
Never begin u dinner with
pie.
Never sleep in. your over
shoes.
Never ride thin horse
bareback.
Never walk fifteen miles
before breakfast.
Never carry a barrel of po-
tatoes on your head.
Never put your feet in the
fire to warm them.
Never swallow your food

MORTALITY IN RUSSIA.

The paucity of medical
men in Russia, write a CORE
spondent, and the habits of
the rural population, COM
bine to make the Russian
death rate the highest in
Europe. Excepting the two
capitals, where there are
many Germany physicians,
there is no district in the En-
pire sufficiently supplied with
doctors. According to the
latest returns, the average
duration of life in Russia is
only twenty-six years. The
motality among infants is
frightful. More than 60 per
cents die before they reach
their fifth year. Nearly q
100000 children perish every
year. OfS 5000, 900 boys, only
3,77O, 600 attain the age of
military service that is to say,
their twenty-fifth year. l.
100000 are found, by reason
of shortness of stature and
weakness of body, unfit for
military duties.

"A Letter to New York Trtbunel
A recent editorial, speaking of the es-
timated proportion of persons buried
alive, reminds me of simple mode of
determining whether life is extinct,
which seems to me well worthy of pub
hcation. [ have tried it myself and am
told it is entirely trustworthy. Apply
the flame of candle to the tip of one
of the great toes of the supposed corpse,
and blister will Immediately arise If
the vitality is gone this will be full of
air and will burst with some noise if the
flame be applied to it few seconds
longer; if life is not extinct the blister
will be full of matter and will not burst.
1t is fifteen years since j have seen
this in print, and thousands of
your readers will doubtless be
glad to know of simple test which can
be used even when there is no reason
able doubt, and thus free the mind from
future misgivings as to whethera friend
or relative might not, after all, have had
some life left when the body was treated
as corpse. Though very few are actu-
ally buried alive, many more may be
abandoned as dead while life is still IN
them, and then die from being handled
and exposed as corpses are. The test,
therefore, should be applied as soon
as life is supposed to be extinct and
before an undertaken is called in.

Digging Wells,

The Massachusetts Ploughman gives
hint about constructing a well so as to
have the water free from impurities
After digging as low as desired, a
cement pipe, some two feet in diameter
and two or three feet long, is sunk at
the bottom and worked down as low as
possible by digging out the inside.
The pipe should be covered over with a
flat stone, through the middle Of which
a two-inch hole has been drilled :;
directly over this hole stand in drain
pipe, then begin to fill up the hole, and
add drain pipe as the filling proceeds
till it comes near the surface, when a
pump can be attached. A well of this
kind is reliable and permanent, reuuir-
ing no repairs; the water is cool and
free from impurities that open wells
are subject to; no insects or animals can
find their way into it, and the cost is
not more than one-half that of a well
that is stoned. If dug, as it should be,
when the springs are low, constant
supply of water that is as pure as the
underground spring is secured. As
the well is always full, there is no
chance for bad air to injure the water,
and, In fact, but little danger of being
polluted by surrounding cesspools,
compared to that of open wells.

FumigatiOn Pronounced Useless.

lErOn the Paris Morning News.
The process of disinfection carried
on at the Lyons terminus is most I'M
pleasant, and medical authorities de-
scribe it as utterly futile. When a
train arrives all the passengers having
tickets from Marseilles and Toulon are
ushered into large room and locked in.
A railway porter then pours into an
open vessel mixture of sea salt, biox-
ide of manganese, water and sulphuric
acid. This mixture evolves a thick
acrid vapor, which is most painful to
the eyes, mouth, nostrils and throat,
and induces in most people severe fit
OF coughing, and turns all the silver in
their pockets black. For four minutes
the travellers are subjected TO this fumi-
cation, which medical men assert has
10 effect whatever on the cholera
microbe or bacillus, after which they
are released. Their luggage is turned
out and fu1nigated for fifteen minutes.
The Temps states on authority that
these measures are imperative and de-
cidedly unpleasant, and suggests the
Swiss system baths and, above all, a
change OF carriages when the infected
zone is passed.

Mistakes in the Pig Business.

Some of our farmers are very likely
to make a mistake just now, in the man
agement OF their pigs. They have an
idea that because an old hog will thrive
on clover, young pig will. This is
about as sensible an idea as that of fat
tening newly weaned calf by turning
it to straw stack. A ton Of clover has
1850 pounds of water and only sixteen
pounds of fats; and the larger pigs
stomach becomes by trying to eat
enough, the closer his hips shrink to-
gether, No matter what the price of
corn may be, it viii pay to shell, soak
and feed it to weanling pigs rather than
try to shove them on green clover alone
If corn is not available, grind and soak
rye and oats, or even soak them without
grinding. Remember a pig is pork
factory, and to ran any factory profta-
bly, you must run on full time and every
day IN the season. Another matter
should be looked after, and that is
shade to make them comfortable and
avoid the flies. The best shade we have
ever found is a thick maple grove,
where the shade is SO dense that the
flies do not bother Iowa Homestead.

Mingljng with RepOrters.

"Hawkeye" Burdette relates that the
first time ne ever saw the late Bishop
Simpson was years ago when he Bur
dette) was amassing large but not
unwieldy fortune as ubiquitous re-
porter for the Peoria Review, and
was assigned to chronicle the doings OF
the Central Illinois Conference, over
which Bishop Simpson presided. He
and the other reporters went early,
seized big table belonging to the
conference secretaries, took possession
of their stationery, etc, and waited for
the services to begin. First thing
after the opening exercises" says Bur
dette, "a good brother arose and called
attention to the presence of the re-
porters, within the bars ; and suggest
ed that they be assigned place with
ont the sacred precincts. We felt very
badly about it, as the suggestion was
warmly seconded, but while we were
wondering if we would carry the big
table with us the bishop looked down
upon us kindly and said, in soothing
way: 'Oh, well, brethren; never
mind. If the reporters can stand 1t, l
guess the brethren can"

The Water Question.

The water question is of the greatest
importance both to Western stockmen
and farmers, and yet it is greatly neg
lected. There are thousands of loca-
tons where the supply is ample for ten
times the number of stock kept, if it
were only economical. [ have seen
cattle driven miles to water along roads
foot deep in dust, and where an ami
NAL was invisible twenty feet away
After drinking at stream trampled with
mud, the herds were driven back again
through the dust, and were as badly off
at the end of the journey as when they
started; and a month before that every
gully was raging watercourse. If these
gulhes or streams were damned prop
erly large ponds could be made which
would hold thousands of acres of water,
preventing floods, avoiding the waste
OF the precious fluid and saving millions
of dollars every year. 1 know a case
IN which the water of stream is backed
up into broad valley for 1000 feet in
width at the dam and for three miles
in length, and the dam cost less than
1000. Many similar dam could be
made for 800 which would save stock
water for the whole of the driest sea-
sons Rural New Yorker.

Deceived by a MOcking Bird.

IN rom me New 1Ork sum-
In second story window of dwell
ing in Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn, around
the corner from the Fatbush Avenue
depot of the Long Island railroad, and
overlooking the watering place for the
horses on ex-Deacon Richardson's
Seventh and Fifth Avenue car lines,
hangs talented mocking bird in cage
1t pipes all day and keeps it up till late
at night. Regular passengers on the
hOrse-cars have learned to look for the
birds notes. 1t whistles like master
for his dog, chirps like robin predict
ing rain, clucks like a hen with her
brood, and slueaks like hurt chicken.
OF late it has learned to initiate the
whistles which conductors on the
open horse cars use.
To the grief of the hostler with the
water pals, the bird succeeds to perfec-
ton IN deceiving the horses. The water
supply is kept in three pals on low
bench placed between the tracks. To
save time both of the horses are watered
simultaneously by two men who hold
the full pals of water to the horses
mouths. When the horses thirst is
satisfied the conductor sounds the
whistle twice, and the driver loosens
the brake. Then the horses start. Now,
while yet the horses noses are in the
waterpails the bird sounds two whistles
The horses, taken by surprise, and
expecting the whip if they delay, tip
the pals of water over the hostlers
with their noses and plunge forward.
OF course they cannot go ahead, for the
brake is on, and they are held back to
finish their drink, but the air assumes
a blue tinge, owing to the picturesque
profanity of the driver and hostler.

Rights i'm the Road.

From the Massachusetts Tioughmanl
Ii a farm deed is bcunded by, on, or
upon a road, it usually extends to the
middle of the roadway. There area few
exceptional cases; bat ordinarily the
farmer owns the soil of half the road,
and may use the grass, trees, stones,
gravel, sand, or anything of value to
him, either on the land, or beneath the
surface, subject only to the superior
rights of the public to travel over the
road, and that of the highway surveyor,
or other similar officer, to use such
materials for the repair of the road :;
and these materials he may cart away.
and use elsewhere on the road. but he
has no right to use them for his own
private purposes. No other man has a
right to feed his cattle there. or cut the
grass or trees, much less deposit his
wood, old carts, wagons, or other trings
thereon; and, after notice to the owner
the farmer may remove them TO some
suitable place, and if they are lost or
injured it is not his fault. The owner
of a drove of cattle which stops to feed
IN front of your land, or of drove of
pigs which root up the soil, is RESPONSE
bic to you at law as much as il they did
the same thing inside the fence. No
persons children have legal right to
pick up the apples under your trees, al
though the same stand wholly outside
OF the fence. No private person has
right to cut or lop off the limbs of your
trees in order to move his old barn or
other buildings along the highway:
and even if the owner of the building
has license from the proper authori-
ties to move the same through the
streets, this does not exempt him from
liability to private sufferers. And no
traveller can hitch his horse to your
trees IN the sidewalk without being
liable If he gnaws the bark or otherwise
! INJURIES them; and you may unite the

Fruit In California.

The State Horticultural Society held
session at San Francisco on Friday
and discussed fruit drying and can
ming. Several members are preserving
fruit for exhibition at the New Orleans
Exhibition. Fruit growing, drying and
canning are industries attracting gen
eral attention and interest in all parts
of the state which are best adapted to
fruit culture. The business bids to be
doubled within few years, and it will
soon be practically demonstrated
whether the business can be overdone
in California. SO long as there is an
unlimited market, to be reached by
cheap carriage, there is no danger of a
surplus. The county of Yuba is one
of the most favored localities in the
Sacramento Valley, and orchards and
vineyards ought to multiply rapidly,
and interior canning keep pace with
them Marysville Appeal.

Amber Cane for Fodder.

/ found the stalks of the amber cane
so much sweeter than those even of
sweet corn that / cultivated it to mod
crate extent for three seasons; but as in
the case OF the Jersey agricultural for
age crop, spoken ofin the Rural on page
401, the stalks were so hard that my
cattle would only eat the tops, though
the seed was sown SO thick that the
stalks were standing as close as possible
together IN the row when growing, in
order to render them more tender. As
do not want to be at the trouble and
labor of cutting and crushing them, [
prefer to contine my cultivation to
sweet corn growing not over five to six
feet high. The stalks of all such sorts
are nearly as sweet as those of amber
cane, and they are SO tender that cattle,
horses and swine eat up the whole to
the end of the butts, cut close to the
ground. Corn of this sort can be
planted for soiling and fodder as late as
July Rural New Yorker.

Household Hints.

TO prevent mould on the top OF
glasses of jelly lay a lump of paraffine
on the top of the hot jelly, letting il
melt and spread over it. No brandy
paper and no other covering is neces-
sary. If preferred the paraffine can be
melted and pored over after the jelly is
cold.
Before dipping new pen into ink
thrust it into a fresh cut potato, and
the ink will never cling. When the
pen is thickly gummed with dried ink
few thrusts will clean it perfectly
When not in use, some accountants
leave their pens sticking into a potato
kept on the desk for the purpose.
An easy and effectual plan to keeI
tinware from rustlng consists in rub
bling the new vessel inside and out
with fresh lard or butter; then placing
in the oven and keeping hot for several
hours. The heat must not be so great
that it will melt the solder; still it is
essential that the tin be kept very
warm.
A writer on the subject of diet Of the
farmer says that mutton and lamb OF
his own raising should be so common
on his table as to make unnecessary the
continued use of sailed meat, or of the
weekly or almost daily visit of the
butchers cart. Fresh fruit and vege-
tables, bread of wheat, rye or Indian
corn, sweet butter and fresh eggs, with
nice bit of lamb or mutton, make up
most appetizinS bill of fare.
A most appetiZing sauce for fish is
made of a gill of sweet cream, one table,
spoonful of -four, half a tablespoonful
of butter; flavor with little powdered
mace. Cook this by setting bowl con,
tanning it into pan of boiling water
let it stand in this until the -four is
cooked and the sauce about like Gus
tard or gravy. Four it over the fish
just before serving, SO thatit viii go on
the table hot. If you wish to make ii
still richer add the yolks of two eggs.

mers should take pains to secure their
grain crop at this period of growth
Straw is worth much more to feed
than simply to throw into the barnyard
to rot for manure. Fed with little
grain, it will keep stock in as good con-
dition as, if not better than, hay alone,
and the manure will be more valuable
than that from hay alone.
1t is evident, then, that by harvest
ing the straw when in the best possible
condition, large amount of stock may
be kept on the farm, and the farmer
can thus add to the value of the ma
nure pile; or he may, If he choose,
utilize his improved straw for fodder
and sell portion of the hay, letting
the straw and some grain take its
place. The day for burning straw, or
letting it go to waste, for the man who
has any wisdom, Is gone by. This fact
is made more emphatic, because meats
OF all kinds are so high, and the expert
ence of some farmers has shown that by
good management, as | have indicated,
the straw may be turned to a valuable
account in the rearing of animals and
Ill enriching the farm. This stubble
from straw, cut when full of juices, is
worth more tor fertilizing the soil, to
pillow under, and it will pay to turn it
under as soon as can be done, while it
retains its moisture and the Juices
stored in it. Such stubble is quite an
important factor for the next crop,
whereas an old and dried up one is com
paratively worthless Rural New
Yorker.
