A curious speculation has been made con
corning what would happen should the
earth's rotation cease. The equatorial d.
ameter being 70 miles more than TIE polar
diameter, the earth would present an equa-
torial zone of solid ground miles high above
sea level the water all bSing drawn to the
poles. This land zone would then be like
our Arctic regions and be banded by ring
of permanent ice and snow.
The power of various explosives has been
calculated to be equivalent to the following
pressures, the figures giving tons per square
inch: EmmenSite, anew explosive for which
important advantages are claimed in addi-
ton to great power, 2S3; nitro lyCerine,
POI; explosive gelatine, 25S: forcite, $50:
oxomite, 249; panclastite, POS; gun cotton
1875; dynamite, IA; atlas, lSS; rackarock,
III; roburite, "a, and blasting gunpowder,
%.
The influence of the moon upon vegeta-
tlon is an interesting problem awaiting so
luton. A recent writer upon the subject
mentions that wood-cutters i'll Cape Colony
and in India insist that timber is full Of sap
and unfit to be cut at full moon. Another
observation of lunar influence in Cape c J.
ony is the rapid spelling of meats and other
provisions when exposed to moonlight,
though this may be due to the fact that the
light serves as a guide to insects.
1t has been said that engravers and watch
makers i'll Germany harden their tools in
sealing wax The tool is heated to white
ness and plunged into the wax, withdrawn
after an instant and plunged in again, the
process being repeated until the steel shall
be too cold to enter the wax. The Steel is
said to become, after this process, almost as
hard as the diamond, aud when touched
with little oil of turpentine, the tools are
excellent for engraving, and also for pierre
ing the hardest metal.

MRS. LANGTRY'r HOME.
The Little Palace in Which She Lives
in New York City

IN New YORK ClCy.
One of Mrs. Langtrys close personal
friends, who is a newspaper writer, de-
scribes in the New York San the other side
of the high fence behind which the actress
lives as sheltering a veritable palace In
stead of the ordinary hallway, the ENTRANCE
is into wide room which is equipped like a
museum, with litter of rugs of skin, of
bric-a-brac, and of quaint chests, clocks
and furniture. A striking feature of the
collection IS a mass OF Indian implements,
weapons, scalp LOCKS, and ornaments picked
up by the English woman in her trips
to the West A parlor at one side of
the hall has its ceiling and wall covered
with white satin, broken only by a
great mautel mirror and a chandelier of
Venetian glass. This room contains small
fortune in pretty pretties. Next TO it is the
bllliard-room, with walls paneled with en-
bo,sed leather and ceiling Of heavy oak
beams The Lily plays billiards every day
when she is at home. Further on is the
dining room, in which there is a grand dis
play of heavy plate and portrait in oil
of the mistress of the house. Adjoining the
dining-room is a little glass-roofed
retreat appointed with card tables,
hung with turkey red hangings,
set about with palms and other plants, and
designed for use as a smoking-room as well
as for card playing The public or
common rooms Of the house also include a
morning room, distinguished by a luxurious
and ornate divan, on which the actress
poses when receiving intimate friends.
Books, manuscripts, and pretty furniture
meet the eye here, as also does the portrait
of the hostess by Millais Altogether one
gets the idea that Mrs. Langtry is comfort
ably housed in home that is arranged with
a semi-Bohemian taste.

Useful Wood Ashes.

Wood ashes, besides being useful on the
farm for soap making and fertilizing pur-
poses, may be used to advantage as a de
odorizer. Hog pens and feeding houses
begin to smell bad at this season of the
year, but this nuisance can be done away
with by scattering a liberal quantity Of
wood ashes on the floors. Powdered char
coal is better for this purpose than the ashes
but is not usually at hand for use. In build
ing hog houses layer of burnt clay or wood
ashes, one foot in depth, should be put in
before the floors are laid and will tend for
years after to prevent bad smells and like
evils. Such sanitary measures as these are
worthy of consideration in improved farm
inc

Staenant Water-Bad Milk.

Prof. Law, Of Cornell University, caused
some COWS to drink for several days from a
stagnant pool of water that existed in a
swaIe, and having examined the milk found
it full of living organisms Then the water
from the pool was examined and the same
living creatures were found. Then the cows
were examined and they were found to be
in a feverish condition, the result of their
blood being charged with these minute or
ganisms. Then some pure milk was taken
and some of this pond water put with it,
and these same creatures multiplied within
a few hours so as to take possession of the
milk. After this test no one can dispute
that living organisms may be introduced
into milk by the using of improper food
and drink. 1t also shows that there is a
close relation between good pure water and
fine good keeping dairy products. From a
sanitary standpoint the lives and health of
the consumers are, to a certain extent, de-
pendent upon the character of butter and
milk. Radical cleanliness can alone be toll
Grated in the dairy of 1888.

Rights of Animals.

VI late years, says the Southern Cuttird-
'o'' There have been many laws enacted and
many societies organized for the prevention
o' cruelty to animals; but we think that
,almers, as general rule, seldom need to
nave such laws applied to them. A truly
e'od and humane farmer cares for his live
a'ock in proper manner. Every living

CUTICURA REMEDIES.

A CHILD'S LIFE SAVED

When six months old the left hand of our little
grandchild began 10 swell and had every appear
ance OF large boil. We pouticed it, but all to no
purpose. About five months after IL became q
running sore. Soon other sores formed He
then had two of them on each hand, and as his
blood became more and more impure il took
less time for them to break ont. A sore came
on the chin, beneath the under lip, which was
very offensive His head was one solid scab,
dtscharginR great deal. This was his condi-
ton at twenty-five months old, when ] under
took the care of him, his mother having died
when he was a little more than year old Of
consumption (scrofula OF coursel He could
walk little, but could not get up if he fell
down. and could not move when ia Ded, having
no use of his hands / Immediately commenced
with the CUTICURA REMEDIES using the Ctrqi-
CURA and CUTfCURA SOAP freely, and when he
had taken one bottle Of the CUTIcURA REsol-
VENT, his head was completely cured. and he
was improved in every way. We were very
much encouraged, and continued the use Of the
remedies for year and a half. One sore after
another healed, bony matter forming in each
one of these five deep ones just before healing,
which would finally grow loose and were taken
out; then they would heal rapidly. One Of these
ugly bone formations ! preserved. After tali-
ing dozen aud half bottles he was complete
ly cured, and Is DOW, at the age Of six years, a
strong and healthy child. The scars on his
hands must always remain; his hands are
strong, though we once feared he would never
be abls 10 use them. Al that physicians did for
him did him no good All who saw the child
before using the CUTICURA REMEDIES and see the
child now consider II a wonderful cure n the
above facts are of any use TO you, you are az
