Electricity for Domestic Purposes.

Professor Blyth, of Glasgow, has
been experimenting with wind power
TO generate electricity for domestic
purposes; and it now looks as though
there would beno difficulty in the way
of an electric light for our houses,

steam power, or from water power.
He used on old fashioned four armed

namo was belted directly TO the fly
wheel Of the mill, and charged twelve
cells Of a storage battery. The cleo
trio current produced WAS used for
both mechanical and lighting pur-
poses. For light, ten eight candle
power lamps were supplied. With a
good breeze for half n day, electricity
enough could he stored for twelve
hours use, or shy for two nights.

Methods OF Keeping Grapes.

Z. p. Roc kept Catawba, Isabella,
Diana and Iona by picking on a clear
day, using grape scissors so as not to
handle much, removing all imperfect
berries and placing in clean, dry
earthen Jars, in layers q bunch deep,
and filling the jar in this way: Place
a double sheet of paper yer the top
layer and put on the lid. Strong UNI
bleached muslin is pasted entirely over
the lid or cover of the jar; when the
covering has fully dried and hardened
the jars are buried on a dry knoll be-
yound the action Of the frost. a stake
being placed over each jar to locate it
accurately. Charles A. Green says:
II have kept Concords up to January
by packing in dry sawdust in market
or bushel baskets. A simple method is
TO place grape leaves between layers Of
grapes as you pick them, oil sheets of
paper. Handsome clusters are pre-
served by cutting a piece Of vine with
them and placing one end of the vine
in a bottle of water, also by covering
q stem Of the cluster AT the point where
cut with wax. Grapes should be kept
as nea the freezing point as possible
and yet not freeze. New York

Cure for Literary Dram DRINKING.

The habit of dram drinking, IL il
said, leads TO fatty degeneration of the
heart. G., excessive fattening around
the heart and weak action of the heart
in consequence. So, too, the habit of
exciting novel reading leads 10 fatty
degeneration Of the literary mind
i. e., TO an unhealthy and spasmodic
action Of the Imagination and a gen.
eral weakening of the power Of enter
ing thoroughly into the solid interests
of real life.
So far as VIC know, the only effective
cure for this habit of literary dram
drinking-a cure not always forth
coming-is a moral shock of some
kind which exposes the hollowness Of
all these unreal interests and makes
them appear artificial and melodra-
matte rs they actually are. That, how
ever, is IA cure which is an extremely
painful one, almost cruel in its dis
illusionizing power. There are, we
believe, some happier mortals who can
cure themselves, as the grocers' shop
boys arc said to be cured of their taste
for sugar and raisins and such dainties
by an early surfeit Of them; but that
is a kind of cure which it takes O very
healthy mind TO operate upon.
As a rule, even where the surfeit de-
stroys the zest of novel reading, it also
leaves the mind too languid TO take
eagerly to palmer and more whole
some food, and SO at once destroys the
pleasure taken in the poison, and
leaves the mischief produced by it
