Mr.. John l.. Sullivan continues TO keep
his own Boston record well tothe fore. In
the oil season, when he Is not smuggling for
Ills share Of the gate money, he remains at
home In dignifisd retirement keeping up
q healthy circulation bysuch light diver

some luckless fellow or using Mrs. John
L. Sullivan for football.
The latest appearance Of this distin-
guished representative Of the sweetness
and light, Of Boston culture Is in the role
Of defendant In divorce suit. His wife
claims that Mr.. Sullivan has become an
habitual drunkard and wiie-beater. For
which reasons she asks a.diyorce, the Gus
tody Of John L. Sullivan, Jr., q $4,000
slice Of Mr.. sulliyan's fortune amasaed in
the practice Of his profession, alimony and
the protection Of the court pending the
proceeding. Responding to the persua-
siye eloquence Of General Benjamin +.
Butlerth ecourthas granted her protection
from bodily harm, and Mrs. Sullivan is in
afafr way to get the divorce.
But suppose this rash woman gets all
that she asks for-including the $4,000.
What will she do with IL? VIII the Bos-
tonese longer tolerate in their best society
the person who has brought reproach

Reciprocity with Canada.

Senator Morrill, is doing good service
in opposing the reciprocity treaties
with small countries which are now be-
fore the senate. They would be even
more injurious to the farmers than our
unreformed tariff. The following, from
the Washington Notes " of the Guilt
cator, shows how the things are got
through, and throws light upon how
senates are swayed, nowadays, by the
eloquence of wine and-cash:
"The original reciprocity treaty with
Canada was lobbied through the senate,
with subsequent necessary legislation
under the efficient direction of Mr.
Israel ID. Andrews. He was well sup
piled with funds by solid men of Bos-
ton and the Canadians, and his exquis-
lite little dinners of six, at Boulanger's,
were never eclipsed by those of Sam
Ward. Some sherry which he brought
here was pronounced by Mr.. Webster
to be the best he had ever tasted,
which was high compliment. Now
Canada wants new reciprocity treaty,
under which they can send their lum-
Der, coal and iron ore into the states
free of duty, as their fish now is, while
they will continue to purchase what
manufactured articles they can from
Great Britain. Canada always did
like to sell to Brother Jonathan and to
purchase of John Bull"

How to Make "Koumiss."

THE word koumiss " is the name
of the favorite beverage of the Tartars.
1t is sometimes called g Russian Milk
Champaign" 1t is pleasant drink,
and is particularly recommended for
dyspeptics. Young children can drink
it freely without harm. Food and
Health gives this recipe for making it,:
Into one quart of new milk put one
gill of fresh buttermilk and three or
four Jumps of white sugar. Mix well,
and see that the sugar dissolves. Put
it in warm place to stand ten hours,
when it will be thick. Pour from one
vessel to another until it becomes
smooth and uniform in consistency.
Bottle and keep in warm place for
twenty-four hours; it takes thirty-six in
winter. The bottles must be tightly
corked, and the corks tied down. Shake
well five minutes before opening" A
tea-spoonful of yeast may be used in
the absence of buttermilk.

A Road Machine.

j. V. r. Kent of Calais, Vermont,
writes to tell us how he made a good
machine for repairing roads that do
not need to be plowed up. He says
cit was very much like farmers
stone-boat; plank two and fourth
inches will do, the size thirty-two by
:ixty-six inches on the run, or flat part.
Put in this twenty-five teeth made of
three-quarter inch square steel, project
ing through three and half inches,
with nuts on the top. They are made
hooked, and set forward forty-five de-
grees, and to prevent the teeth from
denting into the wood set them through
two inch nail plate, bolted on the bot
tom cornerwise. Sharpen the teeth
fiat, with good hook. Then, with a
heavy man to ride with pair of good
horses, to hatchel up the high places,
and three men with aoide hoes to pull
in the dirt, 1 could repair some kinds
of road cheaper and better than in any
other way ever tried"

A Much Needed Official.

Governor Hill of New York and Gov
ernor ROBBIE of Maine both advise the
employment of an expert draughtsman
by the legislature and there is nothing
at all unreasonable in the proposition,
although it is met with much ignorant
criticism. The office of parliamentary
counsel has long been recognized
necessity of the British parliament. At
certain stage of legislation all bills
pass under the supervision of this Off
Ger who harmonizes the language with
existing law and the decisions of the
courts and thus saves a great many
oversights and slips which it would
sometimes cost good deal to remedy.
The statutes of Vermont are, many of
them, in much muddled condition for
lack of such supervision. Most of the
legislation in regard to our state board
of agriculture has been of that charac-
ter. Very few men are capable of
drawing up law properly, and thou
sand dollars per session would be well
invested by the Vermont legislature, to
secure the services of an expert to aid
the members and committees in this
sort of work.

relation between the ants and aphids,
the former being easily seen, with a
hand-glass, to feed npon the sweet
juices excreted by the latter. In the
same issue Brother Perley Poore, in his
" History of Agriculture" referred to
the beasts used by the ancient Israelites
for draft in blowing, says; "The beasts
of draught were either bulls or asses,
the former often improperly called in
the English version of the Scriptures
oxen. 1t does not seem possible that
man of Mr.. Poore's age and reading
should not know that COX" is the
proper name of the species, including
both bulls and cows. Did he never
hear of herds of wild "oxen"? Or did
he suppose them composed of those mild
hammered creatures, neither one thing
nor the other, to which farm parlance
has appropriated the name of "oxen"?

Poisonous Cheese,

Poisonous chicken pie, poisonous
canned meats, and poisonous cheese,
seem all to be in the same category, as
owing their ill-effects on the human sys-
tenn to the presence of an acid substance
OF animal origin. AT the October meet
ing of the American Public Health AS
ISOLATION at st. Louis, Professor V. G..
Vaughan, Md, of the State Board of
Health of Michigan, read a paper on
the "Study Of Poisonous Cheese" 1t
is well known that cases of severe i'll
ness follow the eating of some cheese.
especially in North Germany and Amer
AGA, but in France no such cases are
found. In Michigan, within the last
six months, over three hundred cases
'of cheese-poisoning have been reported.
The symptoms produced are dryness of
9the throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
headache and double vision-the same
symptoms as gastro-intestinal poisoning.
Cases of cheese-poisoning are rarely
fatal, six deaths in three hundred
forty-two cases occurring in Holland
in 1874, little under two per cent.
Cheese that may be harmful to man
may be eaten by lower animals without
danger, and cat once ate cheese that
had poisoned thirty people, but the
feline experienced no toxic effect. Sam
plies of cheese that had poisoned many
people indicated the presence of an
acid, litmus paper turning red. The
indications then were that the poison
was caused by an acid and not by bac-
terra. Microscopic examination, how
ever, revealed the presence of a spher-
zeal bacillus subtilis which did not af-
feet cat when injected beneath the
skin. The poisonous cheese violently
reddens litmus paper, and this is a test
easy of application. Every grocer
should try the experiment when he cuts
a new cheese.
