The Human Breath,

Scientific American.
Professor Brown-Sequard has re-
Gently been making experiments to
determine whether the human
breath was capable of producing any
poisonous effects. From the conden-
ed watery vapor of the expired air
he obtained a poisonous liquid,
which when injected under the skin
of rabbits, produced almost imme-
diate death. He ascertained that
this poison was an alkaloid, and
not a micrope. The rabbits thus in
iected died without commissions, the
heart and blood vessels being en-
gorged with blood. Brown-Sequard
considers it fully proved that the ex-
pired air, both of man and animals,
contains volatile poisonous princi-
pie which is much more deleterious
than carbonit acid r - SO

The pleasant romance of the rescue
of fair woman from death by Presi-
dent Cleveland, who rushed heroi-
cally to check the mad career of the
frantic steed on which the aforesaid
f. W. was perched, is entirely spoiled
by statement of the cold facts. The
woman was not on fiery, untamed
charger, but on a well-used livery
horse, which only backed up against
a fence when his rider designedly
kept the reins tightly drawn, and the
president, who was riding with Sena-
tor Fairchild in carriage, did not
rush to the rescue. He simply sat
still while Mr.. Fairchild got out of
the carriage andIasked the women if
she needed any assistance. AS she
needed no help and had failed in her
effort to attract the special attention
of the president, she Stacked the reins

Hot Water for Plants.

Vick's Monthly.
1t is fortunate circumstance that
a plant will endure a scalding heat
that is fatal to most of its minute
enemies. Water heated to the boil
ing point, poured copiously over the
stem of an enfeebled peach tree, and
allowed to stand about its collar, will
often have the happiest restorative
effects. Trees showing every symp-
tom of the yellows have often been
rendered luxuriantly greenland thrift
ty again by this simple means. The
heat is presumably too much for the
fungus which had infested the vital
layers of the tree, Immediately under
the outer bark.
The London florists recommend hot
water, up to 1450 Fab, as a remedy
when plants are sickly, owing to the
soil souring-the acid absorbed by
the roots acting as a poison. The
usual resort is to the troublesome Job
Of repotting, When this is not neces-
sary for any other reason, it is much
simpler to pour hot water freely
through the stirred soil. After this
thorough washing, if the plants are
kept warm, new root points and new
growth will soon follow.
A lady friend had a fine Gala in a
three-gallon pot, which showed signs
of i'll health. On examination the
outer portion of the filling was found
moldy, it being in large part fresh
horse manure. AS reporting was in
convenient, the plant being in flow-
er, hot water was freely used. It
killed the mould, and the plant be-
gan to revive and was soon all right.

matter of choice should depend some
what upon the use for which it is
intended. A customer of Alden's
Manifold Cyclopedias writes to the
publisher as follows:
II have been exhibiting the Mani
fold among my friends and acquaint-
ances, and eXpatiating on its
excellence and wonderful cheapness.
There is no reason why every young
man in the land who has occasion to
refer to a cyclopedia should not
possess it. The laying by of but five
pennies day for six months will put
him in possession of work that will
be of lasting benefit, Among those
to whom / have shown the volumes
l found but one young man who did
not need the Manifold. He had a
cyclopedia (; a number Of large
volumes /; he did not know how many,
nor did he know the name of the
editor or publisher; but they are very
large, heavy volumes. Believing he
did not frequently consult them,
asked if he ever used them. la
"'Certainly,' said he, Il use them
every day. ww

"'My dear sir said |, you do not
need the Manifold. Mr.. Alden pub
fishes books for the purpose Of
developing and improving the intel
lect, and not to give shape to thelegs.
Do you stick to your ponderous,
unwieldly volumes; they are well
adapted to the purpose for which you
use cyclopedia; but the dainty
volumes of the Manifold-how de-
lightful to handle, and how beautiful
to behold-are made with view to
ease of reference of convenience of

HEALTHFUL BREAD.

In spite of all that has been said on
the subject, people will eat bread made
from -four from which all the bran has
been removed. Nearly all the phos-
pilates, the most valuable elements for
the nutrition of the nerves and bones,
are thus removed, and it is also rec
ognized fact amongst physicians that
great injury results in consequence.
Amy preparation which will replace
these valuable elements are certain to
be of great benefit to those who use
them, compromising as they do, to a
great extent, for the absence Of the bran.
A number of years ago Prof. Horsford,
of Cambridge, suggested the user of a
baking preparation for raising bread
biscuit. ETC., which would supply the
requisite phosphates, thereby introduc.
ing these necessary elements into the
food without cost or trouble. After
years of experiment and labor he sue
ceeded in producing the desired prepare
ton, and if report be true, he has sue
ceeded wonderfully we'll in selling it
The preparation consists of an acid phos
phate of lime, which, combined with bi
carbonate of soda in raising bread
biscuit, etc., leaves in the product tn,
very phosphates required by the system
and which are essential to good health
The idea was an ingenious and valuable
one, and needs only to be thorough.

A WORD ABOUT ROAD MAKING


AS the time for making country roads
is fast approaching, the following paper
by Robert Fargo, of Lake Mills, will be
of interest
GA word aboutroad making and I have
done. What besides the overseer and
his gang make bad roads? Water.
What is most destructive to roads when
made? Water. The first question then
is to prepare drainage, and the second,
to hasten the rainfall from the road-bed.
When this is successfully accomplished
you have fairly good highway. In
our undulating state, bitches can be
made on either side of the rosld-bed that
will serve as under.drains and water
courses at the same time. The surface
should be so made as to serve the pur-
pose of a water shed as we'll as a car
riage road, for without the one you can.
not have the other. The wagon track
should be not less than sixteen feet wide,
better twenty, with slope of a halfinch
to the foot from the center out. And
this slope should be maintained through
out the year. Avoid too convex track,
piled up in the middle; it is dangerous,
difficult to turn out upon; all teams
Gro wd to the center to find level track,
which results in deep ruts and rough
roads. The covering of the road should
be broken stone or gravel, which should
be OF uniform size-never mix small and
large stones together. The small stone
is crowded down and under and the
large ones come to the surface. IF the
large stones must be used, put them all
| together, laying them Systematically side
by side and cover with gravel. Better
! the stone be broken or crushed to a uni
form size. A depth from six to ten inches
is regarded of sufficient depth. McAdam
truly says "The whole science of road
making consists in furnishing solid
dry path on the natural soil, and then
keeping it dry by waterproof covering
of stone which should form hardened,
smooth surface for transportation"
Above all keeping the road in repair
cannot be overestimated. 1t is emphati-
cally true that stitch in time saves
nine." A road kept in the best condi-
ton receives the least injury from travel
and is kept in repair at the least expense.
Why then is there not as much wisdom
in keeping men on the roads at all sea-
sons, filling up the holes and digging out
the stone, as the railway companies dc
with their watchful section men?
Finally, let us stop this foolishness'
and act thepart OF wise men, The law
making power will echo our wishes when
| they crystalize into rational system.
| In these days, when steam, electricity
and brains have brought in their trair
ten thousand improved machines anG
methods and have forced divisions anl
subdivisions of labor, ought not the far
mers of Wisconsin to yield to other and
skilled hands the business of road mend
ing? And devote to "these" days il

SHEEP SHEARING.

A writer says: Sheep that are sheared
early are in the habit of being housed,
so that if it storms they come up with
but little trouble. They are not liable
to get maggoty; their wool gets long
enough to protect them from the hot
sun and flies. The article in your last
number, written by Jay Stannard, con.
tains some good sound sense. 1 agree
with Mr.. Stannand that it ought to be
kept before the sheep-men of the coun
try until the old, barbarous custom o.
brook-washing is done away with for.
ever Western Raral.
A fock-master says: While the Gus.
tom OF brook-washing is condemned by
most of farmers, still when it comes
near the time to shear, without washing,
they hardly dare to shear, and take the
chances ofbeing locked one.third, which
some buyers insist on. Now if they
would shear their sheep early, while the
wool was clean and free from tags and
filth, it would bring nearly as much as
it would washed on the sheep. Is it no,
a fact that early sheared wool, in many
instances, is in better condition for mar
ket and for the factory than brook
washed wool as large percentage of il
is treated?
The Journal of agriculture says: We
know that large proportion of tine
sheep are washed late in May, then the,
are allowed to carry their feeces from
one to two weeks in order to dry ant
restore some of the natural oil to the
wool, or it will be dry and harsh. Would
it not be better to shear early, when the
wool is free from dirt and sand? I
would be free from the grease caused by
the extreme heat of summer. If al
would shear in that way the wool would
sell just as well, and bring nearly az
much as it does now. There would b.
no competing with half washed wool
no more clubbing about the washing o
wool.
