POsves.s or the Coca Eeof.

The coca leaf of South America has
the power TO appease hunger and
thirst, and is therefore largely used by
the natives Of Peru in their mountain
travels. A physician suggests that
this property Of coca Is due to its an
aesthetic effect upon the nerves Of the
mouth, throat and stomach, which
nerves are drugged, lulled or put to
sleep BY the influence OF coca. Thus,
coca Is not q substitute for food, does
not supply nourishment, and those adj
dicted TO its use become emaciated,
narcotized and generally broken down
in health. Men sometimes remark if
they have got to 60 without q meal or

Ttcn0-Gle09C.

First we passed through Tung-Chow,
which is one of the four thousand
walled cities of China. The said walls
are about forty-five feet'in height and
t~wenty-four feet wide at the top and
thirty at the base; but this does not
imply solid masonry, but only a great
earth rampant encased in an outer AMI
inner wall of'brickwork. These walls
are in a most dilapidated state, and
the gateways.are insignificant. 1nthe
main streets / noticed some shops witt,
very deliberately carved and gilded
facings, but'the gliding and the paint
are all encrusted with dirt, and my
only definite impression was that of q
horribly hideous city built of mud and
smothered in dust. But, indeed, / had
to devote my whole attention to hold
ing ON to the cart. so as in some meas
ure to lessen the shocks of incessant
humping. IS we jerked and jolted in
and out of pitfalls on the broad stone
causeway, which, when made, six
hundred years ago "a. D. 120O), must
have been superexcellent, the work OF
a master mind. First,as a foundation,
there was a roadway of earth raised {
q height of six feet above the level
plain. This was coated with cement,
into which were sunk large, accurately
fitted, perfectly smooth, pavement
stones of irregular size, some beins
nearly nine feet long by two in width;
and this stone causeway. twenty-five
feet wide, was the imperial highway
to and all around the capital: Now, it
is more execrable than anything you
can possibly conceive. The worst
civilized cart road could convey no
idea of this approach to the metropo-
lis, or of the condition of even the
principal streets. The stone slabs are
broken or tilted over, the road is worn
into deep ruts like chasms and holes
from one to two feet in depth, in and
out of which the driver guides the
heavy wooden wheels of the s~pringless
carts, the chief marvel being how the
mules escape broken legs a hundred
times a day. In many places the road
degenerates into a mere track of deep
dust, which in winter or rainy weather
must mean deep mire.-Liptncott.

to drink by placing the finger in the

Cooked Beans for Hogs.

1t is difficult to get any kind Of ami
NAL excepting sheep to eat raw beans.
A hen will pick one up and gravely
drop it on discovering what it is. Yet
beans are very valuable food, and
where sleep are not kept some care
should be taken to utilize those that
are cracked or colored. One of the
best means for doing this is to grind
the beans and mix the meal in gradu-
ally, increasing proportions with that
of other grain for growing pigs. 1t is
excellent to feed with cornmeal, the
large amount of albuminoids in the
beans supplementing this deficiency in
the corn. Beans are not reckoned
good feed for breeding ewes, as the
straining of bowels from the wind
they generate sometimes does injury
It would be well, therefore, to with
hold bean meal from sows with pig, or
give it in small quantities and note the
result carefully.

In reply to an inquiry, the Buffalo
Courier thus explains the meaning OF
commencement"
A correspondent asks the Courier to
enlighten him concerning the origin
of the word commencement as used
in reference to the annual closing ex-
ercises Of schools and colleges. The
word really has no reference to the
closing exercises of a term, and its use
when no degrees are conferred is a bit
of p~retension. Commencement is the
day when an American college grants
its degrees, and it formerly came at
the beginning of the scholastic year
instead of at the close. Until within
a few years-and it is indeed still the
case in some Institutions trace of
this remained in the custom of closing
the work of the graduating class
several weeks before commencement.
At one college it was Il pleasant recre-
alton of the seniors, thus relieved of
the duty of longer attending recita-
tions and prayers, to idle about their
windows and shout to the lower class
men who went scurrying past in re-
Spouse to the college bell an inquiry
as to whether that bell was ringing
for a fire. AT Yale until comparative
Iy recent times the exercises of the
graduating class ceased ON presenta-
tion day. when the men were formally
presented to the president for gradua-
ton by some member of the faculty.
They babe each other farewell that
afternoon, only a few of them appear
ing some six weeks afterWard ON com
mencement day to take part in the ex-
cises. The degrees were conferred on
the others in their absence.

Cutting and Curing Clover.

Good well-cured Clover is good feed;
especially for sheep; but when black
and dusty it is hardly fit to place be-
fore stock. Under ordinary circum-
stances, it can be had sweet, clean, and
bright, as well as otherwise. If the
mower is started in the morning, run
it until noon or later, and rake and
put up the clover in cocks before you
quit the field at night. 1t will cure
almost as much there during the night,
by heating, as in the daytime, and it
will leave the blossoms and leaves all
intact; exposure to a hot sun causes
them to fall of, leaving only the bare
stalk to go to the stack or NOW. Ear
ly in the morning, when the dew is
off, turn out the cocks, shake up the
clover once or more before dinner, and
Immediately after it will be ready for
the barn. Some prefer to NOW late in
the afternoon, letting the clover lie in
he swath over night, to. be stirred.
raked, and hauled in the following day.
But IL a heavy dew or rain falls du-
ring the night, the hay viii be black
and stock viii eat it less eagerly. Caps
If cotton cloth can be used to good adj
vantage to cover the clover when in
cocks. Near the cities clover is often
