In one of his lectures before the

Lodge illustrated the lately discovered
fact that smoke and dust are removed
by electricity by exhibiting a couple Of
glass jars filled with smoke and dust,

clear by d~ischarging through them a
current OF electricity. He makes the
interesting suggestion whether a SINH

A DELICIOUS MUTTON PIE. K

A DELICIOUS MUTTON PIE. Cut
the mutton from the loin, where the
chops are most tender, then into small
pieces. which are to be rubbed over
with garlic and sprinkled with whole
grains OF pepper. salt and melted but,
ter. Unless the mutton has been
properly hung, it is best before this
process to give 1t a shallow bath of
either weakened vinegar or Jersey clar-
ct, with a little ginger added to give 1t
the venison flavor. The meat pie al
ways needs a bottom crust, since the
gravy it imblbes adds exceedingly to
the flavor. Horse radish with a blade
OF mace improves the pie. aud should
have a few potato balls in it.

A GREAT many more men can sue
coed on small than on large farms. In
this latter case it may be almost said
there Is no real success, the money
apparently made being generally less
than far interest on the capital inves-

those who try TO farm on a large scale
on borrowed capital are nearly III to
fail. Men who try to farm moderately
are equally sure of a moderate though
substantial success.

An Austrian paper claims that the
first lightning.rod was constructed by
a monk in Bohemia. The apparatus
which he set up in the garden Of the
curate OF Prenditz in 1852 was COM
posed OF Q pole surmounted by an iron
rod supporting twelve curved.up
branches. and Terminating in as many
metallic boxes, filled with iron ore and
closed by a lockwood cover, traversed
by twenty-seven sharp iron points
which plunged at their base in the ore.
All the system was united to the earth
by a large chain. The enemies Of
Diwisch, Jealous of his success at the
Court Of Vienna, excited the peasants
Of the locality against him, and under
the pretext that 1t was the cause of the
great drought they made him take
down the lightning-rod which he had
utilized for six years. What is most
curious is the form of this first lightn-
ing.rod, which was OF multiple points
like the one which NJ. Nielsen after
ward invented.

THE practice of giving a final cult
walton to corn and then allowing the
crop to remain until matured, whether
the field be covered with grass or not.
has injured many promising crops. A
field OF corn should he cultivated as
often as may be necessary without re-
gard to its stage of growth. 1t should
be kept clean and the soil always In. a
loose condition. and the crop will there
by be larger and the plants better en-

THE experiments Of DR.. Voelcker,
of the Royal Society Of England, prove
that manure gradually depreciates by
keeping, even under the very best
management. 1t gains in water and
loses In valuable organic matter which
is spent In the fermentation. 1t stands
to reason, if this be true, that the old
fashioned method Of turning and work
ing over manure for six months before
using is wasterul and to be avoided.
