The First Young Girl Cromated.

The first young girl to be cremated in
America was nineteen-year-old Aida
Weissleder, the daughter of the Superin-
tendent of the Brush Electric Light Com,
pany, in Cincinnati. Her body was
burned recently at the crematory in that
city. The corpse, wrapped in white
alum linen, with white and yellow roses
on the breast, was slid into the retort by
two attendants, who at tonce retired, and
in the stiffness that followed the mourners
could hear the puff and sizzle of the gases
of the body as the heat deyoured it.
After an hour the blue flames stopped
circling about the body, and long white
streak was seen where it had been. These
ashes, when gathered mp, weighed less
than pound. They were returned to the
parents. and will be preserved in an urn.
II was the ninth inoineration at the
CrematOry.

The Panama Canal.

The Panama Canal, or rather "The In
teroceanique, will be, when completed,
about fifty-tiye miles long, says Times
Democrat correspondent. So far about
eighteen miles have been dredged out on
the Chagres, and portion of the noun
tain at tulebra has been blasted out.
This is all the work of contractors, not of
the French. The American Dredging
Company have done their work nobly,
while the French dredges have lain idle
and rusted along the shores of the
ChagreF. The chief aim Of French EN-
ploye seems TO be to drink absintbe,
eOgnae and claret, and wear a cork hat
aud top boots They are extremely
clanHish, and view Americans as an in

FARM AND GARDEN.


Smut in oats usually destroys ten per
cent Of the crop and often more, Pro-
fessor Arthur came across field Of oats
that was nearly destroyed by smut. He
thought to try whether the spores of the
smut fungus were carried with the seed

year he found the smut abundant on the
crop. OF the same seed plots were sown
in which, before sowing, the seeds were
soaked in copperas water. In four diff

felcr Wise tried more than ence, but
without success, to equal or exceed the
famous trip mentioned. Finally, few
years ago, he left st. Louis in balloon
on a long trip, for the last time He has
never been heard from. A reporter who
went with him was found dead some
weeks later on the shore of lake Michi-
gan. BY reason of this and other dis
asters, the suggestion Of a long air-voy-
age gives rise in the public mind to a
keen sense of the perils which attend
every attempt to stay in the sky over

Impaction of the Stomach.

Cattle fed upon dry, hard food at this
season are apt to suffer from indigestion,
which results in fever of the stomach
and impaction with the dry, undigested
food. The Inflammation dries and bakes
the coarse matter in cakes between the
folds of the stomach, and as this organ
cannot act, death is only a question of
time. The symptoms are dullness and
loss OF appetite; the nose is hot and dry,
the eyes discharge tears and bee ONE red,
and there is great thirst. When dry,
coarse feed is being eaten, the cattle
should be given some linseed meal or
linseed oil, and thin tea made by boil-
ing linseed is also very useful to prevent
this disease. When it happens the best
remedy is two pounds of epson salts
dissolved in warm water, and mixed
with pint of molasses. Linseed tea
should be given copiously. When the
rumen, or pauch is involved in this dis
order, it may save life to make an Incl
sion in it and remove the contents, and
inject the solution of EPSON salts. A
few stitches will close the opening,
which heals rapidly. y.-Ne,c York Times.

Fine Sand for Bedding Animals.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
thfnan says Many years ago, when l
had easy access to clean sand, used it
for bedding the cows and horses in
preference to straw, sawdust, dry tam
bark or any other material, for the reason
that s'bed -of fine sand would absorb the
,klqnid of the stalls sooner and keep the
animals cleaner than any other bedding.
There was the fact in the case. That is
all there is about it. A few days since |
was at the stables of farmer who works
large farm and keeps several teams and
large herd of neat cattle, who told me
that he prefers fine sand for bedding to
any other material. He had more than
two thousand bushels Il Judged of dry,
Zine sand, stored for bedding in the win
ter. No other bedding will prevent the
rial accumulation from fdilfs.;f;.--,so
domestic aniY@ils So iectu-
IS clean s'ihI, A Xxx o| fine sand
Will readily absorb and retain half a peck
OF liquid manure. Then, here is another
important consideration in favor of sand,
namely, the facility with which manuriai
accumuations of any stable may be han
died and stored without loss from heat
lng and fire fanging, as stable manure
will do when the bedding consists of
straw or haum of any sort.

THE MEAT WE EAT.


CHICAGO, Nov. 20-At the session Of che
National Cattle Growers association eonYen-
tion Or. Salmon, superintendent Of the
bureau OF animal industry, reported that out
OF 274,255 head Of cattle inspected by him
during the past year, 1880 head which were
found to be infected with pleuro pneumonia
together with 4, 77s head which had been ex
posed TO the disease, were killed.
Among the batch OF resolutions adopted
was one asking congress to provide for the
national inspection OF all meats sold for
human food, and making II unlawful to
transport from one state into another, on &c
foreign countries, any beef, pork, mutton or
veal which has not been inspected alive at
the Strengthening place by the United States
inspector and found TO be healthy. Also a
resolution favoring the shipment of live
stock by such railroad companies only who
SO equip their ears with such brakes and
couplers as win prevent the sudden jerking
and bruising Of stock in transit, thereby
causing great suffering especially to cattle,
by bruising and manning, and causing great
loss to owners in handling bruised meat.
The convention then adjourned sine die.

A few days ago, says the Kenneth pa
Advance, George Martin Of this borough
reached his 9lst birthday, and among
those who called in at his residence on
Broad street to congratulate him was
Mrs. Rebecca w. Taylor, who was 50
years old on the 18th Of October. She
presented her venerable neighbor with a
birthday cake. What makes this visit All
the more remarkable is the fact that
Mrs Taylor is helpless with rheumatism
and has been confined to a wheeled chair
for the last twelve or fifteen years
Nevertheless she manages to get about a
good deal, either in her chair or in a car
rage, and she retains an active interest
IN everything that is going on This was
notably the case in regard to the recent
election. She was greatly interested in
the result and when the news Of the cleo
ton Of Harrison and Morton was received
she was exceedingly happy.

1t will be we'll to mention through the
columns Of this journal that there is one
house in this city that don't have to re-
sort to schemes. The idea of trying to
make the public believe by publishing
that which sensible people would laugh
at. would be ridiculous and throwing
money away.
Good patterns in good, desirable, sea
sonable goods have no occasion to I'M
dergo reductions. But there is an occa-
sion, from appearances when house at

clothing, and the goods don't move, to
reduce them 30 per cent then they still
make with all their loud cry, 40 per
cent. clear above cost.
But Mr.. Louis Fellheimer, the proprietor

per cent, which causes the goods to go
rapidly, and consequently is not over
stocked.
