A Dream of Science.

A prominent mechanical engineer declares aluminium is to be the metal of the future, that it will dispIace iron and steel, revolutionize the industrial arts, and, in short, that "the millen- nium will be the age of aluminium" The tensile strength of this metal is much greater than that of Bessemer steel A cannon made of it would be three times as strong as one made of steel or gun metal It IS three times as rigid as the best bronze. It will not tarnish, and neither air, nor water, nor salt, nor acids, nor corrosive gas, have the slightest effect upon it. It is the best conductor of heat and cleo tricity known. While it is the light est of metals, it is suitable for any thing for which our common metals are used. For $20 enough of the raw material can be obtained to produce a ton of aluminium, which perfectly manufactured, is now worth $20, ,000. Every clay bed is an aluminium mine. T. material is abundant, and hun dreds of chemists all over the world are at work trying to find cheap way of producing it. The man that suc- ceeds in this will ring in tho industrial millennium, according to the views of the enthusiastic engineer.--Leoiston Ne, Journal

FOR THE FARM AND HOME
Corn Not Good fo,. Horses.

Corn is the bane of the farm horse, as it Is also of the horse doing any other sort of work, not because of not being sufficiently nutritious, but be- cause 1t makes too much fat and not enough muscle. The horses muscle wears away by work as metal wears away by friction. Fat wears away under exercise, but it's disappearance in nowise lessens the power for either draft or speed. On the other hand, well-nourished and vigorously-exer- cised muscles, without deposit of fat to keep them company, are much more efficient for any purpose for which the horse is kept than when there is load of fat to be carried. The trainer acts upon this proposition and works the fat of, experience having shown that the muscles, trained down by exercise until fat accumulations are removed, fattening foods being mainly abstained from, gives the best results in the case of a speedy horse. The same rule will hold good with the work horse, though modified by the degree in which the movements of the latter are slower than those of the former. If the farm CT has only corn for feed then he will be wise if he make sale of his corn, or the greater part of it, buying oats in- stead. -Lice Stock Journal. 4

nisenses Of the Plum.

Of all enemies the cureulio is perhaps the greatest, and among the diseases the black knot is we'll known. There is also 8 tendency of all wild ones to rot on the trees when brought into cultivation. Probably no good plum will be found to be curculio proof. Nature beats them with num- bers of trees and quantity of fruit. This may be a hint to us; but the journals have thoroughly discussed this part of the subject, and have at tempted to point out remedies The black knot when it attacks is very de- structive. A writer in one of the prominent New England journals claims that it is occasioned by poverty of soil and poor cultivation. This is a mistake. as natural groves of thrifty wild ones are often entirely killed by it. The only safety lies in carefully cut ting out and burning every appear ance of it, by which means it can be prevented from doing any harm. In regard to rotting on the tree. it is found that some varieties are much more liable than others, but close pruning of the trees and thinning of the fruit are the most effectual reme- dies. As an offset to these difficulties in growing the trees. it's advantages are that it is tenacious of life, and adapted to all our soils, whether on the stiff clays of the high lands or on the lighter sands of the river bottoms; it withstands our hardest winters, being perfectly hardy. and is as pro- life as any tree that bears fruit. It is also easily propagated. either by bud ding, any manner of grating, grow ing from pieces of the root. or plant ing the seed.-Farm, Fteld, and Stockman.

The Money Comes From the North.

The Atlanta Consultation says: "The Louisiana State Lottery is a stupendous affair."" said prominent New Orleans ian. "It IS owned by a stock company with $1, 900, 900 capital. This company has sublet the lottery to another com pany for half the net profits. The half of the net profits have averaged since 1865 from $40O, 900 to $500, 900 year, making dividends on the million dollar stock of from 40 to 80 per cent. In sevcn- teen years the lottery scheme has paid a clear profit of over SEQ, 900, 000.n
 ''How much of this goes to charity 2'
 ''Just $40, 900 year, which is paid to the Charity Hospital. This is included in the expense account"
 ''What does the lottery pay Beaure- gard and Early 2"
 ''Each gets a salary of $6, 900 year for watching the wheel turn once a month."
 ''The company pays its prizes regu- larly in .#
 ''Yes; the capital prize of $75, 900 has been drawn three times in New Orleans -once by man who squandered it, once by man who put it in bonds and retired, and the last time by a man whose name has never been disclosed. Most of the tickets are sold in the North. ...#Es ---

Cnuss. of Rt,tsr Cream.

The Country Gentleman. upon the subject of bitter cream, gives the fol lowing as some of the more important causes .....
 Ragweed in the pasture. This is frequent cause just now. when cows are fed in stubble or moving lands. The flavor given by ragweed is a disagree able, intense bitter, quite different from that caused by fermentation of the milk.
 Mildew, but especially the red, spot ted mildew, which forms upon the cream in damp cellars, and appears in spots about the size of split pea This is caused by the impregnation of the cellar with spores of the mildew. and is very difficult to get rid of. The only way have succeeded in doing it is by burning sulphur in the cellar, which is kept tightly closed for con- siderable time until the walls are sat- urated with it, and afterwards by keeping the air dry by means of box of freshly-burned lime kept in it until it is air-slaked. ---. ...-s -E
 Keeping the milk too long without skimming, until the whey separates, and the cream too long without churn- ing. Thirty-six hours is long enough for either, which makes the cream three days old when it is churned.
 Imperfect cleaning of the milk pails, of the churn, and leaving curd in the seams or corners. Putrid caseine has a bitter flavor and very rapidly com municates the same to milk and cream, the cream appropriating nearly the whole of it.
 The farrow condition of the cow or her advanced state of pregnancy will cause this trouble. #
 Sometimes the addition of as much powdered saltpeter as will lie on a silver three cent piece, or about five grains to six-quart pan of milk, will prevent the bitterness, and to give the COW dose of two drams a day for a week will have the same effect. have found two grains of salicylate of soda to four quarts of milk will prevent mold even in a musty cellar. But am inclined to think that at this sea son the cause of it. nine times out of ten, is in the feed. especially if it is aftermath or stubble grass. In this case the remedy is obvious.

Did Not Think of It

"General 'Rufe' Ingalls, IS one of the most unsophisticated men in the army for one of his experience and position, that you would meet anywhere. We were in Oregon together some years ago. He was great friend of ex-Senator Nesmith, who died recently. Nesmith was man of power, remarkable man in his way, but an odd character. Well, last year Ingalls, was out in Oregon again. Nesmith was in an asylum, with softening of the brain, from which he finally died. Ingalls, went to sec him. When he got back to town he dropped in on Governor Moody at the State House. In the conversation that en- sued he remarked that he had been out to see Nesmith. It's an awful shame, the way the poor old fellow is neglected, Governor, said the Genera; why, they don't even let him have penknife to pare his nails. He felt SO bad about it that l let him have mine The Governor hastily excused himself and rushing to his telephone called up the asylum off cials and told them to get the penknife away as quickly as possible. Nesmith had developed suicidal tendencies. But Ingalls, hadn't even a thought of what he might be doing in his desire for the welfare of his old friend.n

Bring Them Themselves.

A New York florist said to a reporter that he had made up last winter many bouquets for young ladies to take to Delmonico balls and other dances given during the winter, which they had or dered to be sent to themselves. Can this be an explanation of the large number of very expensive bouquets that are carried by many young ladies at the balls in the season Of course belle has many ad- mirers who take pleasure in sending her flowers, but the query arises, are all her admirers so greatly interested in her that at every ball each sends her bouquet 2 In one case a young lady carried as many as 15 at one ball. She had not received them from appreciative relatives, but from her gentleman friends. Many other young ladies, however, were over burdeued with the weight of five or six bouquets, and yet they did not seem to have very great time at the ball. These are doubtless the ones who send their orders to their florists. One lady in particular, decided belle in society, received bill from Q florist last winter which occasioned her much trouble. and she found it very difficult to meet the outstanding obligation. A part of this bill was for bouquets and the balance was for loose flowers sent to her at home. They could be seen at all times nicely arranged about the parlors, and her father thought, for he was given to un- derstand so, that they were sent to his daughter by what he called 'foolish young men," Fathers would be also much surprised if they knew the extent to which their sons sent flowers to foot. light favorites. An amusing paragraph in weekly publication stated recently that a well-known Wall street banker had sent to comic opera favorite very handsome diamond bracelet. To thost who know the character of the man il created great deal of surprise, as he il not given to manifesting his appreciation in that manner, and would not be likell to do SO from the fact that he is a mar ried man with grown-ap son, to whom he has left these little attentions.

A New Dog story.

The Salt Lake Tribune saysl Salt Lake has ono of the most intelligent dogs in creation, as the following story shows The owner of the dog is also the pro- prietor of COW. Every morning the dog is started off to drive the COW to pasture down near the Jordan. A lunch for the dog is tied up iu paper and fast. ened to his collar. He will drive the COW to where there is good pasture, and on hot days will then lie down in the shadow she casts, moving along as the COW moves, and thus keeping constant ly in the shade. He does not touch his lunch until noon, when he slips the col. lar from his head, tears of the paper, and devours his repast. Ho will thon, with his paws, push the collar back over his head, and toward evening starts the COW for home. This story Is vouchcd for by several persons who have wit messed the dogs performance; In fact, some of the people of the vicinity are in the habit of watching him every day.

It is very easy to do, and it makes the boys look charming by gas light Still one can see that the stuff is there. know one pretty fellow who doesn't work, because it takes too much time and makes him tired, who spends enough money each week in powders, cosmetics, complexion washes, hair preparation and brushes, and perfumes to keep family of six. And the man has enough ability to earn his daily bread if he had to. But he does not. He practices financial cannibalism- Gives off the old man" as he puts it. If he were my son I'd take a club in one hand and loaf in the other to him for each meal. He should choose between my offerings and work. I tell him so, but he laughs languid laugh, and asks me not to rail at his ''habits, says I'm not his father, and that he only en- hances beauty bestowed on him by na- ture. I couldn't stand such picturesque impudence as that and wandered out.
