It is said that there are more colleges in Ohio than in France and Germany combined. There are also more lucky men in Ohio than in France and Germany.
 Chicago is one of the largest producers of butterine and oleomargarine in the world. It has six firms which report astonishing figures for 1885. The first one makes two freight car loads each day. The second produces 30, 900 pounds day, ''fne grades a special ty." The third has made 4,500, 900 pounds of the stuff in eight months and the fourth reports the sale of 5000, ,000 pounds for the year, s'almost all of which was shipped to eastern markets"
 In his speech at the Boston merchants din ner Senator Edmunds spoke as follows con- corning national bankrupt law: The princi- pie on which national bankrupt law stands, the just principle, is one that enters into ev- cry business relation, as between man and man, and that is square dealing, whether it be in horse trades, COW trades clothes trades, or whatever it may be. And when you have got that you will have made great advance in the progress and good order of so- ciety.
 ''Jersey justice' is very comprehensive. An un1epealed law of New Jersey, passed while the State was British colony, reads as follows: That all women of whatever age, rank, profession degree, whether virgins, maids or widows, who shall after this act inn pose upon, seduce and betray into matrimo- ny any of His Majesty's subjects by virtue of scents, cosmetics, washes. paints, artificial teeth, false hair or high-heeled shoes, shall incur the penalty of the law now in force against witchcraft and like misdemeanors.
 A temperance committee has been formed in the State of New Jersey to promote the passage of 8 local option law,a bill for which it has prepared for introduction in the legis- lature at the coming session. The bill pro- vides for special election in any county up- on application by petition signed by one tenth of the legal voters, at which election the question of prohibiting the sale of intoxi- eating liquors shall be voted upon. The To- cal option policy recognizes the fact that leg islation can be enforced only when it is sus- tained by the public sentiment of those to whom it applies.
 The Baltimore and Ohio railroad company does some very wise and helpful things for those in it's employ. It has established man ual training for the five hundred boys em- ployed in it's machine-shops. Prof. Scribner of the Stevens institute of technology is em- ployed to give them instruction in the shops, to change them about from one class of work to another and to look after their technical education, Instruction in drawing is given after school hours, library of textbooks is furnished, and everything is done to encour- age the youth to become skilled workmen.
 The method pursued in removing obstruc- tions from the pneumatic tubes in Paris is that of simply firing pistol into the tube.

Cultivating the Blackberry.

The blackberry is native fruit, and is
propagated by root cuttings and suckers,
though for all ordinary purposes the last
method is the only one that need be en-
ployed. This is the natural way; but
when it is desired to propagate new
kind, and there are but few vines, then
cuttings are used. 1t is easy to largely
increase the number of suckers by run
ming a sharp spade into the soil near the
plant in the fall, at intervals of three or
four inches. These severed roots will
throw up shoots. The root cuttings are
dug up in the fall and packed either in
beds or in boxes of rich soil; to protect
the beds from freezing, a mulch is used.
In the spring the different cuttings throw
up one or more shoots. Blackberries
may be set with success in the spring,
though the fall is preferable. This is an
easy crop to grow, if not neglected; but
late cultivation should be avoided, as a
growth of cane is likely to be produced,
which is liable to winter-kill. Pull the
suckers in June or July. When the plants
are first set, cut back the one cane used to
8 few inches, and when in the summer thc
the new shoots are about two feet high,
pinch the ends to increase their size, that
they may stand without support Cut
the old cane entirely away at the end Of
the first season. The next summer re-
peat the same process to make the canes
stocky that is practised the first year, and
cut away the old canes at the end of each
season. A good yield Of fruit may be
expected the third season from ,planting.

Management Of Peach Trees.

With ordinary management, or mis-
management rather, the peach tree has
come to be regarded as short lived, while
in point of fact, with good care, it has
been known to live and thrive from
twenty to thirty years. Mr.. David Baird,
of Manalapan, N. j., in a paper presented
before the State Horticultural Society,
claims that in congenial soil and properly
treated peach trees will continue in bear
ing from ten to thirty years and more
than pay cost of land each bearing year,
for the market will take PEACHES in
larger quantities than any other fruit Of
IS season, and give better prices than any
cthcr crop for money and labor invested.
Mr.. Baird also believes that with care
the ''yellows," that fatal obstacle to sue
Ik 'ssful peach culture, can be overcome or
tounteracted. His remedy is mostly pre-
@entive: Plant healthy trees, propagatcd
A&rom seed gathered from sections where
The disease is unknown, with buds from
4 ealthy stock, and on ground not before
planted with the peach. Eradicate root
md branch on first appearance on every
tree showing signs of disease, and apply
alkalies to neutralize or destroy fungi.
Keep out the worms or grubs that weaken
the tree by their depredations. Thin over
loaded trees of their fruit. This last
keeps the trees vigorous. Give good cul-

Household Hints,

Mortar and paint may be removed from
window-glass with not, sharp vinegar.
Bedrooms furnished in tints of sea
foam and pea green are in favor for the
summer. White and a few touches Of
pink add to the cool and pretty effect.
Furniture needs cleaning as much as
any other woodwork. 1t may be washed
with warm soap suds quickly, wiped dry,
and then rubbed with an oily cloth. To
polish it rub with rotten-stone and sweet
oil. Clean off the oil and polish with
chamois skin.
When hard finished walls have been
kalsomined the soiled coats should be
washed or scrapel off before a new one
is put on. This is the most disagrecabls
part of the process. The furniture should
be covered, as the lime makes spots that
are removed with difficulty, especially
upon black walnut.
Articles of a delicate blue that must
be washed arc often ruined in the pro-
cess; this may be avoided by adding an
ounce of the sugar of lead to a pail[ull of
water, and letting the article lie in this
for an hour and half or even two hours :
let it dry then. after which it may be
washed without injury. This is said to
be a perfect remedy for the trouble re-
fprred to-

Eggs for Hatching.

If the rules given by an authority in
France-where poultry matters receive so
much successful attention-were strictly
followed we should hear less about added
eggs, chickens coming dead. or too weak
to break out Of the shell when fully de-
veloped. Never let the eggs pass over
one day in the nest when laid, and it
would be better to pick them up three or
four times day, or as soon after being
laid as possible. This prevents the pro-
longed contact of the heat of each sue
cessive laying hen, which is apt to create
premature development Of the germ in
the egg, making it liable to perish when
this heat is withdrawn. Reject all with
soft shell or in any way misshapen, or
surrounded with circular ring, or hav-
ing one end with an uneven or rough sur
face. Also those very narrow or I'M
usually round, or wanting in size, or too
large or double yolked.
The sooner they are set the more GER
tainty of Matching, and the more quickly;
eggs set Immediately after being laid
often hatch in nineteen days, instead of
twenty-one, the general prescribed time.
Eggs will preserve their terminating
qualities twenty days; but in order to be
well kept during this time they ought to
be turned once day, as is done by the
hen when sitting. This turning has the
effect of keeping the yolk in the centre,
which is important; it being of greater
specific gravity than the white or albu-
men, its tendency is to work through the
side of the shell, and this Injuries it for
Matching, the chickens being liable to
come out weakly or deformed. When
eggs are received by railroad or post the
package ought to be opened and set in a
quiet, cool, airy place for twenty-four
hours before being put under the hen.
This delay is needful to allow the fertile
germs to recover their natural position
and equilibrium, from the jolting or jar
ring they get in traveling.-A. B. Allen,
in TTiJune

Deaf Mutes.

1t is thought that there are over 2oO,-
600 deaf mutes in the world. The num-
Der in Great Britain is 10000, in this
country $4,000. Their instruction
involves peculiar difficulties, but with
out it they become heavy public
burden. -,
It is onlv about seventy years since the
first institution was established for the
purpose, and there are now but forty
eight in the United States, number
altogether inadequate. With the present
arrangements, the cost OF each pupil IS
5000 year, as it includes the expense OF
boarding them. -,
Most of this class of persons have all
the organs of speech, and are mute only
because they are deaf, either never hav-
ing learned, or having forgotten how, to
use them in spoken language. But it IS
the minority who are born deaf. vi the
1854 graduates of the Pennsylvania IN.
stitution, only 1872 were so born, and OF
the 561 pupils in the similar institution
in Ontario, e62, the others having lost
their hearing by fevers, measles and
other diseases. It seems, therefore, that
the majority of deaf mutes become so
from prcventble causes-preventlble II
medical attention was earlier called to
the condition of the ear.
Formerly deaf mutes were taught to
converse only by manual signs. Latterly
it has been found possible to teach them
to converse by articulation. This is com
paratively easy in the case of those whose
deafness came on after they had learned
to talk. I'm others it is more difficult,
but it can be done; and even where the
ability acquired is not equal to the needs
of general intercourse, it is to that OF the
home.
In the Clinton Street School, Philadel-
phia, articulation alone is taught, and
the more advanced pupils there compare
in some branches with other children OF
the same age whose senses are perfect.
It is doubtless on the whole, best tc
learn both articulation and the slgr
manual.
Professor Graham Bell thinks that dea1
mutes ought not to marry, but careful
investigation does not confirm the ides
on which he bases his belief. The Super
intendent of the Ontario Institution has
been unable to learn of single deaf mute
born of deaf mute parents; while, OF q!
who have intermarried, he has not founo
one who has given birth to deaf mute
child. .-Kouths Companion.

American Farmers.

"Opportunities for Young Men in
America" ," is the title of an article by the
MARQUIS of Lorne in Youths Companion.
Speaking of American farmers, he says:
II have seen such considering them
selves fortunate in about twenty OF the
States of the Union, although it must be
confessed that rural and bucolic delights
do not always quell the restlessness
which moves West until it meets the
sea. Sometimes even the sea doesn't
silence the craving for movement, and l
have known farmer who began farming
in New England and has ended for the
present in continuing his Uninterrupted
but ever. resumed occupation in Western
Australia. Of the farming grandees l
have known, I think the two grandest
are. first, ranchman who had o fine
house, splendidly furnished, herds OF cat
tie which would have made Abraham
envious, and a little army of cowboys,
all ready to resist anybody but their
boss, who hps sufficient leisure to visit
Europe or New York every winter. The
second is gentleman who has a magniti-
cent farm on the Pacific, and has shown
that California can produce better olive
oil than France, Spain, or Italy; grapes
as good as any man can desire; English
waInuts and European almonds, in crops
whereof the old countries hardly ever
dream; oranges, lemons, and japanese
perSimmons, with other fruits and crops
TOO numerous to mention; and all hedgcd
from the gcntle-sea winds by belts and
bands of Australian Eucalypti, which
grow in ten years to one hundred feet.
But such paradise is not for the be-
ginner, who must make his money before
he indulges in so many broad acres.

that he believed that much of the ap'

The black aphis, infesting the roots OF
the trees and living on their juices, in his
opinion, does more harm than the borer.
He advised keeping watch of the insects
when these come above ground, and using
tobacco dust or juice. Where the soil
is deficient in fertility, he advised the

Three Murdcrers Hanged-Two on
the Same Gallows.
James Wasson and Joseph Jackson have
been hanged at Fort Smith, Ark, for
murders committed in the Indian Terri
tory. Anticipating respite, United States
Marshal Carroll postponed the hour OF exc
cution until afternoon. At 2 o'clock the
prisoners were dressed and the death warrant
read. They were then ironed, and after bid
ding their fellow prisoners good-by were taken
to the scaffold at 8 o'clock. Before being
handcuffed, jackson attempted to cut his
throat with bottle, but was prevented by
the guards after he had cut a cash IN his
neck. Some delay occurred at the gallows
awaiting Wassons minister, and after the
minister's prayer the doomed men bade each
other goodbye, and as the ropes were ad-
iusted bade their last farewell to the guards,
reporters and others present. The drop was
sprung at 3:46 P. NJ. and both men died with
out a struggle. The execution was witnessed
by about one hundred persons. Both men
protested their innocence. This makes seventy
one men hanged on this gallows within the
past twelve years, all for murders committed

murder of Almarine Watkins, Texas cattle
king, whose widow offered 81 900 reward Tor

jackson was charged with an atroclous
wife murder. Because he thought his wife
was too much trouble to him he emptled the
contents of double barrelled shotgun into
her breast one morning after breakfast. The
killing occurred March 9, 1885, at Sculleyvllle,
Choctaw Nation. No one was near but the
murderer and his victim, but chain OF cir

Gathering Seed Corn.

Here is the result of the experiments
of Professor W. G. Latta, of Purdue
University, in gathering seed corn. 1t
will be we'll worth bearing in mind next
fall, when the corn is ripening. Profess
sor Latta writes: livery year our far
mers suffer great loss from defective seed
corn-a loss which is just as unnecessary
as it is great. We may sometimes con-
sole ourselves with the thought that we
have done all we could, and that our
misfortunes are the result of causes be-
yond our control. Not so in the case Of
poor seed corn, for it is the result of ig-
norance or carelessness. Now that
many farmers are facing the unpleasant
prospect of having to buy seed corn at a
good round price, it may be an oppor-
tune time to call attention to the fact
chat it is not only possible, but easy for
every farmer to produce his own seed
corn. The secret of success lies in gath
ering the corn early enough to get we'll
dried before freezing weather sets in. Th.
corn may be gathered very early-even
in the roasting carr stage-and if it is
hung up in dry room or loft in which
the air can circulate freely it will cure
and grow with certainty.

A German practitioner being called to
see a child of five weeks old, who was
continually crying and suffering from
collie, and whose skin was of dull blu
ish tint, was somewhat puzzled as to dag
nosis, until looking at the nurses face.
and seeing it of brilliant white and red
tint, he touched the surface, which left q
greasy stain on his finger of cosmetic
rich in lead. This poisonous substance
the nurse had long been in the habit of
using for the purpose of improving her
complexion. The cause of the child's
collie being removed, and appropriate
treatment being adopted, a cure was ef-
fected in few days.
