Which heaven doth seek.
Enjoy you but only

Life of n RanciAman.

A ranchmans life is a pleasant and
healthy one, although varied with good
deal Of hardship and anxiety. To be
successful they must be strong, able
bodied men, capable Of enduring all
kinds of hardship and privation, and
should also be patient, shrewd and enter
prising. The fare is plain and substan-
tial. and where ranchman keeps pigs
and chickens and has vegetable garden
he can have 1t sufficiently varied. Many
of them, however. live on salt pork,
canned goods and bread, and do without
milk and butter, but this is inexcusable,
as out Of herd Of cattle they can easily
get a few cows for milking. Breakfast
Is generally taken at half-past 0 q. M,
and az soon rs this is finished, or some
times before it Is commenced, one or two

and drive them to corral, when each man

or driving back any stock that may have
got beyond the fences and which it is
highly desirable should be kept inside,

Fashions of Ancient Times.

Heliogabalus is said to have been the
first to wear robe of pure silk. The
emperor, one of the most unworthy and
debauched Of rulers, who made his horse
a consul, had a senate Of women, over
whom his mother presided, which pre-
scribed all the modes and fashions. The
Emperor Aurelian is said to have refused
his wife robe of pure silk, on account
of its excessive cost. Indeed it was not
until more than five centuries after the
Christian era that silkworms were
brought from the east and introduced
into Constantinople by some monks IN
the time Of Justinian.
Purple was always much admired ~
the ancients, the dye coming from the
murex, as Is we'll known. The color was
thought finer the darker 1t was. Under
Augustus violet and bright red became
fashionable colors, as well as scarlet, and
were soon worn by all who could afford to
do SO. but Nero and Caesar afterward re-
served amethyst and purple for imperial
use exclusively.
Bright colors were disused In mourn

There ara three principal methods OF
destroying these insects. Where the
land had been plowed for wheat none
patched out, as inyertipg the soil de-
stroyed the eggs, and no hoppers were
found in the fields of growing wheat.
But from adjoining fields. especially
those where wheat was grown last year
and then abandoned without blowing,
they came in armies, sweeping the fields
before them. In travelling this way
line of march is formed before which
every green thing disappears. When
DR.. Lugger left, some of the fields were
eaten into several rods. The method
adopted prior to the arrival of kerosene
and tar was to dig ditch two feet desp
and two feet wide Just in advance OF tie
approaching host. A few inches OF straw
is then placed In the bottom, and the
locusts are drivea into it by walking
Jslowly along behind them. They cannot
tjump out and aye burned; or, If straw
is not to be had, they are killed by draw
ing log through the ditch. The tar is
used by placing in a shallow sheet iron
pan two feet wide and eight feet long,
with q wide board fastened to one slde.
This Is drawn sidewise across the field,
the hoppers jumping against the board
and falling into the tar. where they per.
ish. But the handler, more rapid and
more complete method is to nse kerosene
on canvas, against which the pests jump.
Strong muslin or canvas, yard vide
and fifteen feet long. is stretched on
frame and carried on sled like arrange
ment pulled by team. The canvas
slants back, and is constantly saturated
with kerosene. Every one that hops
against this and touches his body to the
oil dies instantly. One barrel OF kerosene
4 will 20 over about 1870 acres and will Kill
: 200 bushels or more. Each farmer Il
given one barrel of oil, and promises to
use 1t only for destroying insects.-Min

In the line of physics CT natural philo-
sophy, there are errors in common ac-
ceptation to degree that is truly aston
ishing. That is. that there is great dan
ger Of the worlds blowing up from an
explosion of natural gas. How could
there be an explosion without combus-
ton? How could there be any combus-
ton without oxygen? How could there
be any oxygen without air? How could
air settle in a deep boring when the
pressure of the gas is SO much greater
than the air itself2
It is well known that fresh powder can
be put into a cannon that contains fire
with perfect safety, if the THUNDER
does his duty-does not let draft Of air
pass through the chamber of the gun.
The powder cannot explode without air
oxygen. So with natural gas. 1t can
not explode SO long as it is not subjected
to both heat and air.-Edwin Waters IN

Life OF Young HOLSTERS,

Concerning Holsters, experts say that
Young c-ustaceans have to be put in the
sea almost rs soon as Matched, and they
begin to feed voraciously. They are
born with sense enough to know that
Holsters make delicious food, and they
attack one another savagely and hun
c.ily. For q few days they swim on the
surface, where they find the food suited
10 their early requirements. Here their
destruction is enormous. In a few days
the Holsters walking or crawling mem
bers are developed and he sinks to the
bottom, where he makes his home. -
