A Mnskrat on His Met,Ie.

\ number OF wears ago, while | was
hunting muskrats in 4 marsh on Long
Island Sound, there being several feet of
snow on the ground, l CHANGED to get
between one of these animals and his bur
row, which happened to be the only means,
beyond running away from me, that pre-
sented itself for his escape. He took in
the situation at glance, and was curious
to see what he would do about it. Imag-
inc my surprise when he started to come
down for me as fast as his legs could carry
him, and in a few moments he was too
close for me to shoot without tearing his
beautiful pelt all to shreds, for | at once
saw that he was an unusually handsome
specimen, and to thus spoil him would
be great shame. When within about a
yard of me, and his eyes actually flashed out
their meaning at his thus being oornered he,
without moments hesitation, made a
spring at me and landed on the top of my
leather shooting boots, pair that came
above my knees in an instant he COM
menced tearing away with his teeth at a
great rate, but before he had bitten any
thing but my boot, | grabbed him and
humping his head against the heel OF my
gun, he was rendered lifeless. This
formed the only case of a muskrat attack
ing a man that has ever come to me, and
in this particular instance / admired the
little brute's bravery all the more after |
found that he possessed but three legs, one
of them having long since been amputated
high up, probably in a steel trap, but the
stump was perfect, and he had the blacklist
hair of any muskrat l ever saw.-Foresl

An Exploded EaIlacr.

The american Wool Reporter makes use
! of the Governments recent importations of
blankets for use by the War Department
to disprove the theory of the free traders
who assert that the tariff is an absolute
tax upon the consumer. 1t is very good
case in point. March %, 1887, the Gov
ernment advertised for bids for 1000
blankets. The lowest American bid was
81 Do for four-pound blanket The low
est foreign bid was 81 % for blanket of
the same kind and weight The duty on
blankets of this quality is Is cents pound
| and 80 per cent. ad valorem If the tax
were an absolute tax upon the consumer
that is to say, if the domestic price were
the foreign price plus the duty-the cost of
| the American blanket should have been
So rs instead of 81 So. The difference, on
the 1000 blankets, between the price at
which they were actually offered and the
price at which they should have sold, if
the Presidents theory were correct, is
$2,395 The President adheres, however.
to his fallacy, although the more intelli-
gent free-traders have been compelled to
discard it, and in his letter of acceptance
says:
Il suppose, too, it is we'll understood
that the effect of this tariff taxation is not
limited to the consumers of imported
articles, but that the duties imposed upon
such articles permit corresponding in
crease in price to be laid upon domestic
productions Of the same kind, which in
crease, paid by all our people as consumers
of home productions, and entering every
American home, constitutes form of tax
alton as certain and as inevitable as
though the amount was annually paid into
the hand of the tax gatherer."
That which the President, in this pas
sage, declares to be "well understood" is
simply not fact at all A hundred in
stances, each as forcible as this of the
blankets, might be cited to demonstrate It's
falsity.-BostOn Journal.

Tests for Pure Water.

According to Dr. Tanner, of Boston, a
paper from whom is published by The
Sanitaridn, tests for the purity of drinking
water are worthless. He says the chem
ical processes relied upon are as apt to
condemn good water as they are to COM
mend it, and to commend an impure water
as they are to condemd it," If 5 per cent.
of milk or beef extract were added to pure
water the processes will condemn it as i'm
pure on account of the presence of animal
matter, but few millions of disease germs
may be added to gallon of distilled
water and none of the processes will lead
to their discovery, because the quantity of
organic matter is not large enough. He
cites instances where water purposely
contaminated had been proven by the pro
cesses to be remarkably pure. If DR.. Tan
ner be right, his conclusions are startling,
as the processes which he says often give
results quite contrary one to the other are
those upon which almost absolute reliance
has been placed.

The Music of the Ancients.

The Egyptian flute was only COWS
horn with three or four holes in it, and
their harp or Tyre had only three strings
the Grecian Tyre had only seven strings
and was very small, being held in one
hand; the Jewish trumpets that made the
walls of Jericho fall down, were only
rams horns; their flute was the same as
the Egyptian; they had no instrumental
music bnt by percussion, of which the
greatest boast made was the psaltery, a
small triangular harp or Tyre with wire
strings, and struck with an iron needle or
stick their saebut was something like a
bagpipe; the tsmbrel was tambourine,
and the dulcimef was horizontal harp,
with wire strings, and struck with a stick
like the psaltery. They had no written
music; had scarcely Z vowel in their
language, and yet, according to Josephus,
they had 100000 musicians playing at the
dedication of the temple of Solomon. No
zart would have died in such coqeert in
the greatest agony.

The Effect of SPRAYING.

Last year, says the Ey Dorado Republican,
"two of our horticulturists tried the ex-
pertinent of fruit spraying with most salts
factory results. L. NJ. Davis sprayed 800
or 600 Bartlett pear trees with a solution
of one pound Paris green in 160 gallons OF
water. He found that this solution killed
the pear slug and produced no visible eff.
feet upon the fruit foliage, and, although
he only sprayed the trees once, he found
1t very beneficial to the fruit. Spraying
with this solution costs about three mills
to the tree, besides the LABOR and expense
for pump. Earl Norton and his sister
Mrs. Delaney, sprayed last year about .
coo pear and apple trees, using a solution
Of Paris green, one pound to 100 gallons Of
water. Although they only sprayed the
trees once, yet the results were very salts
factory: An apple orchard that was
sprayed yielded $50 boxes, and the year
befsre, without spraying, only twenty-nine
bo&as."

current was recently communicated to the

M. a. De Maritena. The metal to be Gov
cred is placed in a bath of water at about
l7G0 Fahrenheit, and is connected to Z
source of electricity just strong enough to
decoDpose the water. Under these condi-
tions the plate becomes coated with a LAYER
of the magnetic oxide, which is firmly ad-
herent, and which will take high polish.
If too strong Il current is employed the
LAYER of oxide will not adhere to the
