Some interesting facts regarding the
public collections of American archeol-
ogy in the United States are given by
Henry Philips, Jr., in a paper to the
American philosophical society. Judg-
ing by this report, there are six muse
ums of the first class In this country
containing upward of 5000 specimens
the academy Of natural sciences in
Philadelphia, the Davenport academy
Of natural sciences, the national muse
UNI at Washington, the Peabody museum
Of American archaeology and ethnology
at Cambridge, the Peabody academy OF
science at Salem. and the Wisconsin
historical society at Madison, To these
must doubtless be added the American
museum Of natural history at New
York and the Peabody museum at New
Haven, from which he received no re-
ports. Four museums should appar'
emily be grouped in q second class as
Important ones, but not 70 extensive
as those Of the first class; namely, Am
herst college, the New London county
historical society, the Wisconsin nat
ural history society Of Milwaukee, and
the Wyoming historical and geological
society ct Wilkesbarre, Pa. Eleven
other museums are reported to have
collections Of considerable interest. To
Judge from the statements given in
this paper, the Peabody museum at
Cambridge is the largest in the u
try.

BURNING too long in . hot sun is
bad for newly cut grass, a. this renders
it brittle. Dry sunless weather, with
little dew presents the best possible OPP
portunity for making bay. Much of
the best clover hay Is only fairly wilted
when it is raked Into cocks, in this
case the cocks are opened once or twice
and exposed to the air a few hours, and
then put up again. If not well cured,
hay keeps better in a close NOW in the
barn than in a loft or in a stack that is
exposed to the air.

PROFESSOR STEWART says: Neither
corn meal nor bran is the best milk

hay corn meal should be added as a

fodder, straw or poor hay, good wheat
bran should be added Instead Of corn
meal. Bran will balance poor fodder
much better than corn meal.

At q review and sham fight some
time after, 1 met a friend, and natural
ly told him of my recent aflliction.
"Well," he said, 81 should think be-
ing deaf was rather an advantage on a
day Of this Sort"
But, although he spoke in jest, there
really are advantages and disadvanta-
ges in being deaf in one ear. The dis
advantages are probably most disagree
ably felt at table, when you have to
turn a deaf ear to the one you specially
desire to be agreeable to-. If this hap
pens to be a lady, who has read your
last book or admired your last picture,
it is doubly disagreeable. There are
two ways of getting over this; first you
may screw your head round toward her
till the chin rests on the shoulder, but
this looks awkward: or you may turn
the back Of your head towards her,
when singular to say, you can hear all
she says, but this would look doubly
awkward, not to say ridiculous. An
other disadvantage at table comes from
the inability a semi deaf person has of
locating sounds. Some IL has said a
good thing, or some one from some part
Of the table has addressed you, but for
the life of you you, cannot tell which
way to look in replying. There is this
same disadvantage in the street. You
hear a carriage coming rapidly along,
and you want TO get out of the way
quickly, but you must look both ways
before you start; your m a will not
tell you its direction.
The advantages, however. are not to
be despised. Not more than half that
is said in tins world is worth listening
to. That is consolatory. You can
turn a deaf ear to all lingual disagree
ableness. Even when induced to 60 to
a lecture which turns out a delusion,
you can lean your hearing side on your
hand, and, while pretending to listen
attentively, be alone in your own world
thinking your own thoughts. But per-
haps the chief advantage is this:
Wherever you are at night you can OBJ
tain refreshing sleep. Dogs may bark,
doors may bang, cocks may crow, hoot-
ers howl, and railway engine drivers
whistle out the whites of their own
eyes, but they cannot annoy you. You
are lying on your side, deaf ear upper
most, in dreamless, wholesome SUM
Der.
But again the half-deaf Individual
has reason for thankfulness in remem-
bering that, as a rule, the same causes
that rendered him deaf in one ear
might have deprived him of the use of
both.

WHEN TO CUT CLovER.-One rule
for cutting clover Is when from one
third to one-half the heads have turned
brown, depending in a measure on the
state Of the weather. If good hay
weather, it car be cured as easily when
one.third OF the heads are brown as it
can with half OF more in changeable
weather. But it is to be remembered
that rain Injuries out clover very much.
and the ripper 1t is, the greater the
injury; so il 1t al be cut early it Is
better to take the risk. When grown
with timothy, if there is much of the
latter, then it pays to walt a little
longer, until the timothy. is ripe,
say, when two-thirds Of the clover
heads are brown. Flat-stemmed blue
grass will stand until the seed is dead
ripe, and then will have the stalks as
green or blue as they were two weeks
previously, and full of a thick, rich
and gummy sap.

Aluminium united with brass i'm.
proves it by giving to it greater
strength, ducility and resistance to
corrosive action. Castings made from
1t are sharper. Aluminium united with
copper and nickel gives an alloy that
closely resembles silver, which takes
and holds an edge like steel, and for all
uses 1t excels German silver, nickel
silver, britannia, white metal, etc.
Aluminium united with silver gives an
alloy that Is not furnished by sulphur,
tough, strong, light and inexpensive as
compared with pure silver. Aluminium
united with iron produces an alloy %
per cent. stronger than iron. and which
oxidizes less quickly than iron. Alum
inium united with steel gives an alloy
that is very tough, hard and elastic. 1t
takes a bright silver polish, rusts less
easily than steel, and is very like the

blades are make, having all its best

A method of regulating the speed of
gas and other engines for driving dyna
mos has been devised by M. Menges.
In this system the supply Of gas to the
motor is controlled electrically by
means of a solenold coupled up with
the lamps, either in series or in paral-
lei. according as a constant potential
or a constant current service is requir-
ed. A soft iron core is placed in the
solenoid, and any variation Of the cur
rent In the latter causes a correspond
Ing change in the position Of the core.
The core is connected by a lever to the
gas valve, the opening through which
is thus varied. pari passu, with the
current through the coil. This Is so
arranged that the greater the load on
the dynamo the wider is the gas valve
opened, with the curious result that
the speed of the engine is greater under
high loads than low.

THISTLE PoMPoNs.-Select a large,
half blown thistle, and cut of all the
green part at the base Of the blossom
Just above the stem. Hang the thistle
in the open air, exposed to the sun and
wind, and in the course Of q day or
two the inside, downy part, will ex-
pand into a full, rounded pompon, or
puff ball. Then pull out the purple
petals which had developed into bloom
when you selected the half open thistle.
Hang up the pompon again in an airy
place, and in the course OF q week it
will have bleached to a cream white.
These pompons are feathery and deli
cately pretty as swansdown, and are
used to trim hats. They are q great
addition to a bouquet or q basket of
grass.
