Breeds of cows strongly predisposed t.
milk production will sometimes giv'
more milk before the heifers have hat
their first calf. The tendency is increased
where the young calves run together, il
which case, unless precautions are taken
they are almost sure to learn to suck eacl
other. A habit of this kind Is extremel,
difficult to cure; the COWS having learned
it while young suck themselves whei
they are in milk, and unless very valu
able the best way to dispose of such i
to fatten them for the butcher.
During the long summer days, whe,
COWS fresh in milk have plenty of grass
they cannot carry with ease the burden
of milk produced between early morn
ing and the usual time for milking
night. Milking at noon is good plar
in such cases, as it nearly equalizes thu
intervening times. While the milk is il
the bag some Of its fat is being constantly
absorbed by the COW. Hence frequen
milking produces larger product o
butter, but the COW needs ali the heavie,
feeding to stand such demand on he
milk-producing capacity.

Glass and It's C0mponents.

Glass is an irregular substance, hard
and liable to break at ordinary tempera.
ture, transparent or translucent, white
or colored, having peculiar brilliant and
smooth fracture, called "vitreous. II
is composed of silica with some of the
following bases: potash, soda, lime,
magnesia, lead, iron and alumina.
Several kinds of glass are known, such
as window and plate glass, flint, white
and bottle glass made up in different
proportions OF sand, soda, potash, lime,
red lead, etc. ~
Colored glasses are produced by using
various metallic oxides, charcoal OF
sulphur. Oxide of manganese is intro.
duced to correct the green coloration OF
glass by giving it purple tint. In
larger proportions it produces various
colored glasses.
Glass at white heat becomes almos.
as LIQUID as water, but when cold is quite
rigid however, at cherry red heat it is
plastic and malleable. This property Of
glass enables the blower to work with
facility. At the cherry red heat
it is plastic enough to be blown
by means of pipe and shaped with
tools. When it becomes rigid by cool
ing it may be reheated and worked until
the proper shape is obtained. Glass
rolled on a metallic table is made into
plates; by blowing it into mold all
kinds of bottles are made. BY pressing
the plastic mass by means of press,
plunger and metallic mold, glass can be
shaped into all kinds of wares. By
means of the glass blowers lamp this
material can be drawn into very fine
threads and rolled up like ordinary
thread. Glass can also be reduced to al
most impalpable threads, as fine as fla
ments of cotton, by means of steam or
air blast acting upon very fine stream
of molten glass.
Glass is bad conductor of heat, and
when heated and suddenly cooled flies
to pieces. While being worked it cools
very rapidly by the action of ambient
air. 1t becomes necessary to correct this
defect by annealing. This operation
consists in carrying the glass objects
when still hot to special furnace, where
they are reheated to low cherry red,
and gradually and slowly cooled. This
operation, when improperly carried out,
exposes the glass to break suddenly.
An unpleasant experience of this nature
often takes place in households when a
lamp chimney, without any apparent
cause, suddenly flies to pieces Glass
Is also bad conductor of electricity.
Nature has provided this country with
an abundance of sand suitable for glass
making. american Bottltt.

Household Hints.

Do not mix griddle cakes until ready
to fry.
Scratches on furniture, if not too deep,
may be removed by rubbing with mix
ture of linseed oil and turpentine il
equal parts.
If fiat irons are rough or smoky, lay
little fine salt on fiat surface and rub
them we'll. 1t will smooth them anG
prevent sticking.
Whiting wet with aqua ammonia will
cleanse brass from stains, and is excel
lent for polishing faucets and door-knob
of brass or silver.
Ham relish may be made by seasoning
highly with cayenne pepper slice o
dressed ham, then broiling it, and add
ing butter, mustard, and little lemon
juice.
Salt will curdle milk, therefore in pre-
pairing milk toast, sauces, scrambled eggi
or anything of which milk is the founda
ton, do not add the salt till the pan has
left the fire.
Baking powder and soda biscuit
should be put into warm pans, ant
baked in quick oven; little warn
water rubbed over them just before put
ting into the oven will give them mic,
color.
To remove fruit stains from cambria
handkerchief or other white goods, dil
the stain in boiling milk; if this is no
eifectual, apply a very weak solution O
chloride of lime, being careful to boi
the handkerchief afterward.
Keep a cushion in the kitchen.
If none is at hand, pin picked up il
laid on the window sill, or stuck in tn,
dress, to fall, perhaps, into the mex
batch of bread kneaded. Each child
should be taught to pick up every pin il
sees and put it in its proper place.
The fat of chickens is said by cake
maker of great experience to be superior
to the finest butter for making the mos
delicate cake. If the fat of boiled chickens.
is to be used, cook them without salt
and there will not be the slightest flavor
of fowl
An excellent and simple disinfectani
for sinks and waste pipes is made by
mixing one large tablespoonful of cop,
peras with one quart of boiling water.
This solution is odorless and deodorizes
instantly. The copperas may be bought
at any druggists for eight or ten cents Q
pound.
For soft frosting, use ten teaspoonful,
of powdered sugar to one egg; beat
thirty minutes. For frosting and mer.
ingue, powdered sugar should always be
used. Lay the frostiug on with knife
which, if frequently dipped into cold
water, will give the icing a gloss. A
little cream of tartar-just mite-wil
hasten the hardening.

The Fuegians are the lowest human
beings in the scale of existence. Their
language contains no word for any num-
Der above three; they are unable to dis
tinguish one color from another; they
have no religion and no funeral rites,
and they possess neither chiefs nor
slaves. Their only weapons are bone
pointed spears, and, as they grow neither
fruits nor vegetables and their country
is naturally barren, they are obliged to
live entirely on animal food. Even these
savages possess, however, some social
virtues. They are not canuibals; they
i'll treat neither women nor the old, and
they are homogeneous.

The natives of India are said to give
their horses opium when they desire to
accomplish long journeys. 1t is related
that an Indian horseman gave his

The moss crop of Florida is said to be

President Clevelands letter to Commits
sioner Eaton on the civil service was worth
millions of dollars to the business men and
property owners of Washington. Faith In
the possibility of q non-partisan civil service
has been Of slow growth In Washington.
The months which have passed without a
general overturn in the departments since
the advent OF the present administration
have been watched with wonder, and the
first day Of each successive month has been
fixed upon as a date certain to see the end
Of even the pretense of observing anything
more than the mercst letter Of the law ON
the subject. Even a week ago the Jeffer-
sonian and jackson Democrats of the Dis
trict were carefully coming over lists OF
Republican clerks who were to be the first
to 90, and the impatient ofllceseeker was
assured that as soon as the fall elections
were out of the way places would be plenti-
ful.
The clear, honest sentences of the Presi-
dents letter have dispelled all illusions and
dssipated all doubts, lie, at least, Is not q
dissembler, He is not enforcing a law be-
cause 1t is law simply. lie is far In ad-
vance of the law, and has courage greater
than that possessed by the trainers and
enactoIs Of the law. For the period of his
administration the workers In the depart
ments, the merchants, the house owners
builders and all the manifold interests
which depend upon the stability Of the
civil service for prosperity are assured that
no cyclone is to pass through our govern.
ment buildings. This knowledge is worth
much money TO every bust ness man In this
District, II Will give confidence to every
tradCsman, mechanic, manufacturer, and
merchant, and the credit abroad of every
one Of them Is from this time established
on Il illmcr basis The final result to all Is
more houses built, more enterprise, in
creased aud safer business operations, with
consequently cheaper rents aud lower
prices To consumers. Yes, II is safe TO say
that President Cleveland's letter was worth
millions Of dollars to Washington.

The past week saw the Nationals play and
win their last championship game Of the year
ofgroce 1885 They arc now beyond dispute
the champions OF the sadly disngured Eastern
League, so that for once at least Washington
has carried OF n base ball championship, nni
won II, too, by downright good ball-pllying.
The career Of the team this year constitutes
ample evidence of Manager Scanlon's sounl
judgment as TO the qualities aud capacities OF
ball PLAYERS. It was not composed of high.
priced celebrities known TO all the world Of
Of lasebnlldom, but, nevertheless, every
member Of the Nationals playing force Is
hall player of merit, aud there nre really few
better teams In the country to-day than that
which will soon close its really brilliant and
very successful season. IL IL pretty safe tD
predict that most Of the present members will
be retained for next season. Indeed if the
team were taken intact into the American
Association, while II might not he strong
enough TO win championship honors, It would
be certain to achieve position we'll up with
the leaders.
