The Vegetable lA.ub.
American AgriculturIst,

When / am asked by grown-up person
if it is true that there is plant in Tar
tary that bears living lambs, am not
altogether surprised have known ord
inarily intelligent persons to firmly be-
ievo that horses hairs, if kept in water
for certain time would become snakes
and have known persons who pass for
sane and sensible 70 believe that water,
or precious metals can be discovered by
a person holding hazel some think peach
tree is better twigs in hands. Where these
things and the importance of doing certain
operations when the sign is right or in
tho right time of the moon are believed
in do not wonder that any story about
plants however improbably should find
believers. The story of the vegetable
lamb q few centuries ago was grayely told
true. 1t has slight foundation in fact.
In the country where this vegetable lamb
is said to grow one of the common ferns
has a very largo and hairy root-stock
this when dug up and turned upside down
looks at distance enough like lamb to
deceive those who wish TO be deceived.
Not more strange is this story of the veg
etable lamb than that which was for a
long time believed about the origin of
one of the wild geese,

Take one quart of grains of corn tjust
common field corn pick over and wash
clean; then put in a pan OF pail and cover
pith warm water, Let it stand on the
back of the stove all night. In the morn
ing when the stove is hot set the dish

The London Queen recommends the
following as an excellent way To wash
lace Fold il smoothly, four-fold or more
lay it on a marble washstaud OF table, and
with the band or soft sponge rub in
clear, tepid water, pressing it smoothly
TO the marble. Then rub on some kind
of white soap, and with the wet hand rub
1t into lather. Take "A round stick, a
piece of implanted broom-handle is the
best, and roll ID over the lace which it
will take up as it rolls. Dip it in clear
water, and repeat the soaping and rolling
until the lather pressed out is clean.
Then rinse in clean water, spread on
towel and put in the sun to dry. 1t will
need no ironing.

Influence Of Grass in Cattle Diseases.
Western AgriculturAllst.

In describing case of disease III an
animal a lady correspondent says her hus-
band thinks il will be all right as soon as
the grass comes. This has suggested TO
us that few words on the subjec might
be of great benefit. II is probable that
nine out of ten cases or sickness will
come out all right as soon as the animals
can be got upon grass. Our animals have
been fed all winter, in thousands of cases,
upon dry, concentrated food, and in one
way or another they are now showing the
effects of it. The owner feels that he must
do something, and often it is necessary
that he must give medicins at one. But
as soon as grass comes stop the medicine
in ordinary cases at least, and turn them
into the pasture. At first the grass will
lack nutritious qualities, and it may some
times be Necessary 10 feed n sick animal
something in addition. Animals that are
not diseased ought TO have something be
sides the very young grass. But a sick
animal will often be greatly benefited by
stinting it in diet, and in such cases It
may need nothing more than what the i'm
perfect young grass can give. If we had
an animal that was out Of condition., or
in any disease short of being or yerging
upon a desperate case we would turn it
upon grass as soon as grass comes and
give that a trial before resorting to medi-
cal treatment.

It Wears n New Face.

Recently the handsome stone forming the brow of the fine, roomy porch of Yale's ele- gant new Y. M. c. A. building was inscribed with 26 Greek letters which formed the sen- tence translated, "One is our master" The Greek letters were cut in the stone "accord- ing to copy" as the typos would say, and the stone was put into place. This occurred just before the masons' days work was done No sooner was it in place when divers and sundry young Yalensians hocked to the spot to air their knowledge of Greek and discov- cred that one letter was wrong Mr. George M. Grant, the builder of the edifce, was notified and consulted President-elect Dwight. The result was that Mr. Grant had that stone down early the next morning and returned it to its former proud position with new face and the inscription re-cut. But the error was not his and the cause of it was a little horizontal line at the bottom of a letter shaped like an inverted V, which the profes sor who furnished the copy had inadvert- ently added.

"Sat Down Upon It.,,

Yesterdays Bridgeport Farmer says: 'The Knights of Labor announced that they would hold an open air meeting on the court house Sunday afternoon and were given per- mission to do so by Seleetman Roberts. Chief Marsh did not like the arrangement and therefore consulted Alderman Kiefer, who is acting as Mayor during the absence of Mayor Zones; also Selectman Strong and others, all being strongly opposed to such a procedure. Chief Marsh also saw MT. Rob erts and talked up the matter with him, when it was decided that the meeting should not be held as proposed. The Knights of Labor were therefore advised of the final decision and one of their numbers placed this notice
 upon tree: K. of L. meeting adjourned to Winton's Hall. Now!!l' There was 8 small audience in the hall, which was ad- dressed by a number of speakers The chief guardian of the public peace did not like the idea of such kind of disturbances on Sunday and very sternly sat down upon it.
