Electricity on a Farm.

Electric power has been applied in very novel manner of late on the estate of the Marquis of Salisbury at Hatfield, where it has been in operation for some time past in various ways and works; but the last is perhaps the most peculiar of all. On one of the farms ensilage has been stored ill large quantities, farm building being turned into silo for this purpose; and it being decided that the green food shall be ''chaffed'' before placing it in the silo, chaff- cutter has been erected about twenty feet above the ground. This machine is not only driven by electric power, but the same motor is employed to elevate the grass to the level of the chaff- cutter. This is done so effectually that about four tons of rough grass are raised and cut per hour. A sixteen-light ''Brush' machine is the generator, driven by huge water wheel, and both are on the banks of the river Lea, mile and half distant. The power is transmitted to one of Siemens' type, specially constructed to work as a motor with the ''Brush" machine. Nor is this all, for the same electric power is ingeniously applied to work the Gifts |, in use at the many haystacks on the es- tate.- Chambers Journal.

Uses for Raw Flax.

Flax straw from which the seed has been threshed is of little value as ma terial for the manufacture of textile fabrics. It is coarse and weak, and there is great waste in it's preparation. It is used for making coarse cloth, suita- ble for bagging, ropes, twine and for paper, but not for linen goods. For making fine goods the flax is sown quite thickly, one bushel and a half being sown per acre. This makes long, fine stalk without any side branches, with exceedingly fine and strong flores. The flax is cut before the seed is ripe, and the straw is bound in bundles and steeped in ponds until the bark is rotted, when it is taken out, spread on the grass and dried. It is then ''hackled," by which the routed husk is broken up, and then combed, which leaves the fibre in long punches. It is then either bleached at once or is spun and woven into linen, and this is slowly bleached by exposing it to the sun grass meadows, with constant watering. It is obvious that without the factories to manufacture the fibre it is of no use for farmers to grow it. The best Russian flax is worth S2OO ton, prepared for the factory.-Neao
 York Times.

Diamond Mines.

Many geologists of Australasia cherish the faith that diamond mines will yet be added to the sources of wealth of that developing land of surprises. Accident ally discovered by travelling trader not quite twenty years ago, the South Afri- can mines, which are five hundred miles from the coast, and at an elevation of four thousand feet above the sea, are, however, at present unrivalled in their size and value The romantic hardships which toughened and roughened the early diggers have largely disappeared before the railway communication which brings the fields within thirty hours journey of the coast. The business is now transacted on scientific principles and a regular system. There have been, as might be expected, alternations of profit and loss, but the returns of the four principal mines show that in the three years and third previous to the end of 1885, there. was total production of more than eight and half millions sterling. A Kimberley diamond was re- gently shown in London valued at e1OO, 900. It weighed more than 400 carats in the rough. The finest diamond in quality ever found in South Africa was the ''Porter Rhodes," discovered in the centre of Kimberley mi ne in 1880. It is pure white octahedron, valued at :e60, OOO.-London Standard. as.t>

Furniture in Bedrooms.

z It is scarcely necessary nowadays, say the Boston Record. to warn any one against heavy furniture in bedrooms. Householders have come to understand the sanitary importance of perfect clean Illness in a sleeping room, and that this cannot be secured with furniture that may not be moved easily aud often. But people in the average home are slower to learn to do away with woolen hang ings and woolen carpets in bedrooms. Blankets the year round accepted, there is no need of any woolen, dust-lodging fibre in chamber. Curtains and cush- ions are much more easily cared for when made of cottons, and for eight months in the year straw mating is the best covering for bedroom floor. Even in winter two or three rugs, which may be often shaken out of doors, are enough to take off the chill look of the straw. And this way of managing has the advantage of cheapness as we'll as of healthlulness and comfort.

Social Nicety in Cuba.

Not long since my attention was called in funny and rather plebian way to one of the local customs of the island. When family moves into another house, it is de rigueur to send cards-or to quote the Spanish for it, "mandar parte"--to their whole circle of acquaintances, announc- ing the change, and, as they express it here, "offerlng them their house." Those who fail to do this are not called on, even by persons who. visited them before. This custom is observed through all classes. I was immensely amused when my washerwoman (of the peasant class and living in the country), business settled and talk began, said: "Ah, senora, I had such time this morning I had to climb fence!' "But, why?" ssAh, you see, the only lane leading into the highroad passes before my neighbor's house. Now they have moved in only lately, and as they have not sent me sparte' of course I could not pass there, but had to climb the fence to get into the road; and (dolefully) I shall have to climb the fence again when go home. -Ne1o Orleans Times Democrat.
