DR.. X. Von FrttSch. of Halle, main-
tains that the causes or earthquakes are
much slighter than has been generally
believed; that they may be sought at a
depth of not more than ten or fourteen
miles, and often OF less; and that rather
feeble forces may produce earthquakes
which will be felt at great distances.
The hammer in Krupp's factory, which
weighs thousand centners, and falls
from height of ten feet, produces SEN
siDle conclusions over a surface five
miles in diameter; and recent explo-
sion in dynamite factory was felt at
between twenty-five and thirty miles
away. DIR. Fritsch points out how
earthquakes might and must be pro-
duced by the increase and decrease in
volume of rocks under the influence of
physical and chemical forces, by con-
cussions. by the opening of creYices in
rocks, and by the subsidents Of masses
of rocks due to these agencies.

THERE is a fine chance for the exer-
else Of taste in the hangings for Win
dows. Handsome materials in pattern
and texture are at prices to suit all
classes. Get your curtains Of some
material, no matter how cheap, which
hangs in agreeable folds. Cheap stuffs,
made of linen, and goods of cotton
handsomely dyed can be purchased.
In richer goods some prefer solid cOlors,
and others Moorish or Persian patterns.
A new Japanese stuff for curtains is
plaided in various colors on a ground
in which there is so much gilt that at
little distance it has the effect of
cross-bars of red, old gold and blue on
a gold ground. Another very rich
material is the Syrian curtains, which
require no trimming, being sufficiently
ornamented with their stripes and sprigs
of old gold silk. Like all Oriental
stuffs. they have no dress in them, and
their limpness renders them suitable
for medieval rooms and furniture.
Pretty and cheap curtains could be
made of alternate strips OF howered
chintz and coarse furniture lace and
lined with pink or blue satin. The
lambrequin, in Its many different
shapes still holds its own, but it is not
liked by some as well as the valence, or
even a heavy fringe hanging from the
cornlce, or the curtain run on a round
rod of brass or wood.

IL is estimated that there are about
$4,000 blind persons IN France. and
very little has thus far been done to lm-
prove their condition. About 2OO re-
ceiye professional education in the Ma
tIonal Institution for Blind Youths, As
many more are taught in small chari-
table establishments, and a national in
stitution maintains about 300 pension
ers; but at least 81, 600 unfortunates are
without resource or prospect or I'M
provement. The cruelty of this neglect
has been strikingly illustrated by the
experience of society formed in 1881
to erect workshops for the blind. A
little money was collected and the so
ciety erected one small workshop In
which twenty-five persons were instruc.
ted during the last year, every one OF
whom, it is believed, acquired in SIX
months the means OF earning sup
port for the rest of his life by making
brooms, brushes, baskets, tool handles
chairs, etc.

AN oddity in furniture has made its
appearance; a bed with a bench at
tachment. The bench is of comfort
able proportion, and extends the length
of the foot-board, which forms its
back. A specimen Of this curious bed
stead, displayed in the store of prom
ineDt furniture dealer, Is Of polished
mahogany and finished and hand
some piece of work. Probably the
bench is added to furnish slttings in an
apartment not very large, like the major
ity of bedrooms, or perhaps it is de-
signed as place of waiting for irate
wives whose husbands belong to a lodge.
Imagine the feeble CONSERVATION or a
lodge-going individual returning to his

stealthily though erratically aiming In

THE waste land occupied by fences
and the expense of fences equals all
other building expenses of a farm to
make and maintain. Besides, what a
relief it would be to the beauty of a
landscape If the unsightly fences, hedge
rows, stone walls and their like could
be removed, and the ground now grown
up with bushes, brlerS and weeds in
beautiful and useful grasSl All that
is wanting to bring to pass this much
desired change is the united efforts of
the farmingcommunity, seconded by the
officers of the law and respected by the

Talk about the burthensome taxesl
Fence rows and road fences are the very
dearest and most burthensome tax the

crop and NOW the roadsides and reward
the government for their protection by
cheerfully paying the taxes.

WHEN exposed to the air the sugar
of milk, which differs somewhat from
other sugars, changes to acid of milk,
or tactic acid. The acid causes the
caseine and albumen to coagulate, or
become solid, and curd is thus formed.
When the milk rests the fat separates
and rises to the surface, because it is
lighter than the other portions, and is
known as cream.

DURING the year 1885, the exports of
wheat from the port of New York, in
wheat, were sixteen million bushels, Of
the value of fifteen million dollars, as
against twenty-seven million bushels Of
wheat at twenty-six million dollars for
the year 1854 Indian corn was shipped
more largely last year than in any year
since 1880. The shipments of oats has
largely increased. The quantity Of -four
shipped has been about the same as in
1884, but the price has been lower.
There has been slight gain in the ship
ments of live cattle, and a large gain In
those of refined sugar. There was a
falling off in the exports Of butter and
cheese in 1885, as compared with 1854,
and an increase in the shipments and
value of cotton. Petroleum and its
products did not quite hold their own
in 1885, as compared with 1884. 1t is
quite pertinent TO consider whether the
causes which have affected our ship
ments of wheat are only temporary. or
likely to be permanent, and in this con-
nection it is worth while to observe
that shipments of flour from the port of
New York were less, and less in value
IN 1885, than in 1884,

ic roads is TO travel, why should not
the law project the farmer in the exclu-
sive use Of the lands not occupied by
travel, as well without the enormous
expense of a fence? Why not require
the travelling public as well as the far
mer to respect the rights guaranteed to
each respectively Stock is not allowed
the liberty of the roads as pastare or
playground, but only as a way from
place to place; thus, should not the
traveller hold command of his animals
at far less expense to hlm than the
compelling the landowner to build
protection for himself, or both?

''A small piece is cut out of the belt

fore of good quality. it will remain I'M

months, without any other change than
becoming little darker in color. If,
on the contrary, it is not well impreg-

promptly swell, and after a short time
