The interspace between the mainland
of Australia and the southeast point of
the Asiatic continent is almost bridged
by a close-set string of islands, leaving
not a single gap half as wide as the mar
row straight dividing Hayti from Cuba.
Two-thirds of that chain is formed by
islands of such enormous size that their
fora and fauna might be supposed to
have been gathered from the drifts of a
thousand ocean currents. Papua, Bor-
neo, Sumatra the smallest of them
three times as large as the state of Illinois
are all densely covered with the finest
arboreal vegetation of the tropics. But
while Java, Sumatra and Borneo are
perfect geological gardens of nature,
Paqua, with the same climate and the
same grand forests, has the scantiest
fauna of any inhabitabIe region of the
earth. In Sumatra, for instance, there
are wild elephants, Malay bears, tigers,
leopards, %rhinoceros, musk deer; elk, ta-
griss, and not less than eleven different
species of monkeys. In Paqua there is
no quadrumanus animal of any kind, no
rhinoceros. no elephant, and not one of
the larger carnivora, not even a deer,
but only a wild pig, resembling a degen-
crate variety or the domestic breed, a
small wildcat, and various marsupials,
akin to our opossums. If the forests ever
harbored any larger game the natives
have preserved no records of the fact,
though they have a tradition that their
ancestors lived for ages in a larger and
warmer country, western Australia,
perhaps, whose droughts and famine at
last forced them to emigrate-Dr. Felix
l.. Oswald.

If THE recent balloon voyage across the
English channel has really demonstrated
the possibility of controlling the course of
such vessels, the whole science of war will
have to be remodeled. A squadron of air
ships, lightly laden with enough dynamite
to blow up a continent, might gracefully
hover over the enemy's metropolis and
dictate terms. 1t is vain to speculate on
mere possibilities, but if anything could
put an end to war it would be just such
an invention as a practicable, dirigible bal

An INFLUENTIAL journal-Republican,
of course-ridicules the idea of calling
Mexico to account for the Imprisonment
of a citizen for an alleged libel, and asserts
that a judgment has just been recovered
of James Gordon Bennett in an English
court for the same %offense. The cases, as
the journalist must have known, are
widely different, the English case being a
civil suit for damages brought by one
American citizen against another, to
which the government is not a party, and
which involves no personal %indignity or
outrage upon the defendant.
, 1886-08-04

THE resolutions of the house committee
IN foreign relations upon the Mexican
outrage are sufficiently strong and yet
moderate enough for the occasion. They
approve of the action of the president in
demanding Cuttings release and request
that the demand be renewed. The house
will doubtless adopt the resolutions and
the people will approve the sentiments

A QUEST.

The secretary of Wyoming has gone
east on important territorial business
supposed to require his presence at the
national capital soon after the adjourn
ment OF congress. Mr.. Morgan is of an
extremely %sanguine temperament and ex-
poets still longer to retain the place which
he abandoned during the last presidential
campaign, to make stump speeches i'll
Colorado. Contemporaneous reports Of one,
at least, Of these outbursts Of partisan
f%ervor, show that the orators opinion of
the Democratic candidate whom he OPP
posed after the fashion of that campaign,
was extremely unflattering, but the sim
ccrity OF that opinion is fully attested by
the secretary's present hopes. which are
wholly incompatible with a belief that the
presidents utterances concerning often
sive partisanship" have been more than
the merest OF idle talk. The Democracy
of Wyoming is united in favor of Mr..
Morgan's removal, and there is no sem
blance Of reason why he should not be
permitted to adorn the walks of private
life, at least until the party bugle, two
years hence, shall again summon the old
war horse to the field.

A CONTEMPORARY. on n side of ii

A CONTEMPORARY, on one side of its
issue, displays in staring headlines its in
%dignation because. "As usual, the timid
United States exhibits a desire to take
water from Mexico" and on the other, in
a carefully selected editorial, seems to
think another war might be but a pre-
text for stealing land from the same
republic. 1t is unpleasant to witness a
van Of harmony between friendly
journals, but when an enterprising news
paper thus gets at loggerheads with itself,
the spectacle becomes painful to behold.

The older civilized people, the Greeks
and Romans, loved city life; that was
their idea of civilization. People who
lived in the country were ~rustics, and
quite on n lower level. Another name
they had for those who did not live in
cities, but in villages or hamlets, was
pagan from the Latin pagus, n ~village).
The word afterwards came to have
another sense. The ancient Germans
hated cities and loved to live apart

Sew en- Points in Milk Settling.

l. To make the finest favored
and longest keeping butter, the
cream must undergo a ripening
process by exposure to the oxygen
of the air while it is rising. The
ripening is very tardy when the
temperature is low.
.. After cream becomes sour the
more ripening the more it depre-
GATES. The sooner it is 5hen SKIM
med and churned the better, but 1t
should not be churned while too
new. The best time Tor Swimming
and churning is just before acidity
becomes apparent.
9. Cream makes better butter to
rise in cold air than to rise in cold
water, BUTT will rise sooner in
cold water, and the milk will keep
sweet longer.
4. The deeper milk is set the less
airing the cream gets while rising.
K 5. The depth of setting should
vary with the temperature ; the
lower it is the deeper milk may be
set; the higher, the shallower it
should be. Milk should never be
set shallow in a low temperature,
nor deep in a high one. Setting
deep in cold water economies time,
labor and space.
G. While milk is standing for
cream to rise, the purity of the
cream, and consequently the fine
flavor and keeping of the butter,
will be injured if the surface of the
cream is exposed freely to air much
warmer than the cream.
I. When cream is colder than
the surrounding air, it takes up
moisture and impurities from the
air. When the air is colder than
the cream, it takes up moisture
and whatever escapes from the
cream. In the former case the
cream PARTIES the surrounding air
in the latter case the air helps to
purify the cream. The selection of
a dreamer should hinge on what IS
most desired-highest quality or
greatest convenience and economy
in time, space and labor.-Pfot
ArROid.

Farm Accounts.

> IN view of the fact that this is an
era ofprOgress, and a time of sharp
competition in the various channels
of business life, it is necessary, If
he wishes to maintain his rightful
place in the race, that the farmer
should become a practical account
ant. 1t is essential in farming as
we'll as in other kinds of business,
that we know the sources from
which our profits come, and, also,
the places where our losses are TO
be met. 1t is necessary, if we wish
to overcome old prejudices, IT we
wish to rise above those methods
no longer applicable to our chang
ed Conditions, that we become not
ehly laborers, bat students as well.
This question of knowing your
business relations with the farm, is
not fancy; tits not a difficult prob
je6n to solve 1t is within the
limits OF reason to say that every
man gifted with average lntelll-
gcnce may know for a certainty
where his losses occur, and where
he receives his gains. This being
the case, it isn't necessary to con
duet operations in just-as-it-hap-
peus manner, and be compelled to
guess at the results ; for guess
work, even at its best, is mislead-
ing.
With more study, with better
understanding of applied business
principles, there would also be a
'hetter appreciation of our advant-
ages. We should not be so many
ilccJying the condition of our agri-
couture, and looking with longing
eyes to the "far West. Cor. Maine

Testing Eggs.

At this season Of the year, says
the Jo'VAoi Of Agriculture, every
bUly should have an egg tester.
All eggs should be tested by some
hieans. Eggs that are unfertile
will be easily distinguished from the
lsFdIes ones in three or four days
ALTER setting F; in fact an expert
may detect them on the second day.
In France it is the practice to ex
amipe- OF test the eggs after the
bsnlbas been on them two days,
and if they prove unfertile they are
used on the table. In this country
almost every one feeds the young
chicks boiled eggs the first two or
three days of their existence, and
for this purpose eggs that have
been set on six or eight days are
equally as valuable as fresh ones.
Now for a cheap tester, heavy
piece of brown paper, wrap 1t
around a stick, paste it fast all
along, draw the stick out and you
uLatenOne that viii distinguish be
tisstai lfertiler and unfertile eggs
a when set upon five or six days.
, Tonse the tester, we have but to
hold lit. the eye and hold an egg
10 Tie other end Of it, looking
through theegg towards the sun or
"a lamp. Every state of incubation
may be noted in this way, and the
egg saved by this process and used
,a~sspod for chicks will abundantly
} rmssfot ali.tlle trouble. A still
more valuable consideration is
the fact that when a half dozen
hens are set at once, the fertile eggs
may DE put into a less number of
nests and other fresh eggs may be
placed under the hens rendered idle
. bv the removal of the unfertileeggs
and the consolidation of the fertile
