Effects Of Set0age. Herr Franz HUI
ma uas been investigating the effects OF
sewage upon the purity OF river water.
He examined the water OF the river
Oder, above Breslau, (the second city
III point OF size in Prussia, having some-
thing over 200. 900 people, in its course
through the city, and below the town.
From the point where the water supply
for the city is pumped to a little above
the city, the water undergoes a slight
but appreciable deterioration. In pass
ing through the city a continuous
change for the worse occurs This is
manifested by the increase OF ~oxidizable
matter and Of chlorine. and by a great
augmentation of ammonia. Microscopic
examination disclosed the abundant
presence Of organisms of pu~trefaction.
Farther down was observed a gradual
process of self qualification by contact
with oxygen along with the cooperation
of animal and vegetable life in the
stream. At ten miles below the city the
influence of the sewage could not be
detected, either by chemical or micro
scopic examination.

General Jackson.

General Andrew Jackson was not
cultured or accomplished, but he had a
strong well. balanced mind, and he
would go through forests of sophistry
and massss of legal opinions straight to
the point8 Governor Wise, of Virginia,
who admired him greatly, used to tell a
story illustrative OF the rough bark OF
old Hickory's character. During the
administration of President Monroe,
General Jackson, II command of some
troops, invaded Florida and captured
Arbouthnot and Ambrister, two Eng
hshmen who, it was charged, melted
the Indians to depredatlons. He at
once ordered a court martial, and had
them hanged with but little time to
prepare for their future place OF abode.
He was arraigned for the offence before
the cabinet of Mr.. Monroe, and Mr..
Adams, the Secretary of State, defended
him on the high ground of international
law as expounded by Grotius, Vettel
and Puffendorf. Jackson, who had
duarreled with Monroe, was disposed
10 regard the matter as entirely per-
sonal, s'Confound Grotlus; confound
Puffendorf; confound Vattel." said he,
s'this is a mere matter between Jim
Monroe and me-" 1t Is also said of
hlm that, pending the question of dis
pute between this country and France
in regard to the demand for So, 900, 900,
his message to Congress contained a
direct and insulting threat TO Louis
Philippe. The cabinet consulted and
urged a changing of the phraseology.
Mr.. Forsythe, then Secretary OF State,
adroitly changed the language dictated
by the President, to soften 1t and make
the message more diplomat @ in terms,
and more comfortable to peaceful and
courteous national intercourse. But
when Mr.. Donaldson, the Presidents
private Secretary, read it to him from
the proof sheets, jackson stopped him
when he got to the part relating to
France. "Read that again, sir" said
he, ''that is not my language, it has
been changed, and | will have no other
expression of my own meaning than
my own words" The original words
were substituted, and his absolute die
tation wrung from France the money
which never could have been obtained
through diplomacy.

MAZE BREAKFAST TEMPrING.-Break
fast should be the most tempting Of
meals. In this climate, combined with
American habits, a medium should be
supplied between the rolls and coffee
that constitutes the opening meal OF
the French and the solid food of the
English. Physical labor creates appe-
tite. Mental labor often occasions ex-
hsustion of the system without a cor,
responding demand from it for restora-
ton OF its energies by food. Unless
the v1ands of breakfast are of a tempt
ing kind, the individual who has gone
to sleep mentally wearled the night be-
fore, turns from them and contents
himself with a cup of strong coffee or
some other ~exhilarsting beverage that
serves to brace his nerves for the time,
but not to repair the ravages OF daily
worry.

AGRICULTURE.

CONSTANT waste and repair Of all the
bodily TISSUES belong to the formal 500
dition O fall healthy animal life. Certain
portjops of the food taken into the
stomach are in some way, not fully
understood, absorbed and used for
supporting and sustaining the entire
system, Other portions seem to have
no such office to perform, but pass from
the stomach through the ~slimentary
canal and are taken up by the v
gers of the ~body-the intestines-and
discharged as useless, and worse than
useless, matter. And we learn from
these facts that supplying mere aliment
of the most condensed and nourishinR
sort. and in quantities Just sufficient to
support health, Is not the true way to
keep all their bodily functions in their
best condition. II is Just as necessary
that the waste portions of food should
be supplied as that the directly life
sustaining constituents should net be
wanting. Hence, We urge upon poultry
Keepers the necessity of giving some
thing which, by its mere bulk, may
help to fill the almost Unsuitable crop
and the ever-grindIng giZzard of the
fowl, and while the needed share for
general sustenanee is being eliminated
shall also furnish the waste matter,
which. is equally important to the we'll
being Of the fiock. For this purpose
almost any coarse, bulky article, such
as potatoes, fresh grass, common purs
lane, chopped apples, turnips, cabbage,
or in winter, hay or rowen, will answer,
and their use viii make fewer demands
on the meal barrel and the other expen-
sive material needed for the support of
the poultry.
