Swearing anu Lyings

In one of The reports received q con-
scientious teacher writes 81 would
like advice at some convenient time on
method of punishment for continual
swearing and falsehood." \ very i'm
portant question indeed. There are al
ways some circumstances that stagger
the stoutest hearts iu the management
of children, and this one OF them. The
teacher should tax herself to break up
such venomous habits at once. IL it
Can be done by skill and tact, so much
the better. If not, try any legitimate
means that the circumstances will al
low. Consult parents and directors.
II every thing fails, kindly ask that
such a pupil be removed from the
school, and let him feel all the while
that the necessity for such action is all
owing TO his own weakness. If it is a
single case it is better by far to deprive
him of school privileges for a time than
endanger the school. 1t is not always
a hopeless case. When quite small,
children tell stories. They have very
vivid imagination, and with but little
experience in the world they about con-
clude that things are true when it is a
mere conception of the mind. They
are not old enough 10 use their judg-
ment and have no conscientious scrua
pies about such things as yet. 1t is a
critical period in their budding natures
and needs patient and constant over
sight and direction. But the habit of
swearing cannot be decried too strong
ly. 1t isis barrier TO progress and low
ers manhood. 1t is the gateway to
corrupt life and shuts one out of the
best society. IL bars the confidence of
the business and social world IL gener-
al, which everybody needs. 1t is Yir-
ulent poison to any young lie and an
eyer7aerkening shadow over advancing
age. It c0Irupts happiness and destroys
self control. Both lying and swearing
must be driven from the sacred pres
snce Of the school-room or play
grounds.

InoeuIating Domestic Animals.

Numbered with recent discoveries of
NJ. Pas.eur is that OF the vaccination
of domestic animals for the prevention
of the dire disease known as anthrax
or splenic fever. The marked success
attending his system in combating the
rinderpest in Europe, accord ing 10 Lon
don NearS, encouraged Mr.. J. II. Lam
prey to bring the subject under notice
or the Government of India, where DO
efficient remedy was known for this
rapidly fatal illness, which annually
carries off large percentage of cattle
OF every kind.
An order in council has been issued,
and in order to carry out this object
some native Indian students are now
undergoing a course OF instruction at
the Paris laboratory of NJ. Pasteur, and
will shortly proceed to stations in India
to dispense the vaccine, which is sp-
piled to elephants as well as TO oxen
and other beasts. II is confidently ex-
pected that their labors will be attended
with same success that followed the in
PRODUCTION of the system into those
countries where it is now in full oper-
alton, with an ultimate prospect of the
total determination of the most serious
maladies, working great havoc among
flocks and herds throughout the world.

The Cultivation OF Indigo,

In addition to their vegetable gar
dens and cornields, the Indians of
Tegucigalpa, Brazil, cultivate and man
ufacture indigo, which they carry, with
other produce, to be sold at the Carib-
bean ports.
Indigo is produced from an Indigen-
ous and triennial plant which the In
dians call "S!quilite, which flourishes
luxuIiantl 2 in nearly all kinds of soil.
It grows TO a height OF five or six feet.
and produces long. slender leaf of
blush green. An Indian washerwoman
merely mashes a handful of the leaves
with the clothes she is washing, and
never thinks of using the indigo OF COM
merce when the leaf can be had for al
most nothing. The lard requires but
little preparation being merely burned
over and broken when the seed is scat
tered. This is done IN April, and the
growth is so rapid that it is cut in Au-
gust. The product of the first year is
small, but in the second year 1t is enor-
nous. In August the men, women,
and children go out into the fields and
cut from the plants everything green,
carrying their bulky loads back to be
stacked up near the boilers. The indi-
go must be cut at the proper time to
secure good product, and one week s
delay reduces it by half, owing to a dry
ing up and decomposition of the sap.
The Indian method of reduction or
manufacture is very crude. The crop
is passed between heavy rollers to grind
and mash It /; this green pulp is then
boiled until the blue paste is precipi.a-
ted, when the water and refuse fibre
are poured off. This powder, or blue
''cake," is put up in bundles OF 80
pounds, or ''ceroons," and carried
down the rivers to the coast, About
2J0 pounds of the plant will produce one
pound Of pure indigo, so it Ray be i'm
agined the areas cultivated must be
very large. The fields near the small
village were two miles square. After
the cutting of the stems and leaves the
roots remain without sprig until Feb
ruary, when they branch out again.

How TO Improve q Farm.


The best and shortest way to improve
a farm is to reduce the stock, plow
your fallows in Winter 50 that the soil
will be warm and dry and the sub-soil
decomposed early in the Spring. Har-
row well and then SOW ten or twelve
quarts of grass seed to the acre when
you put in your oats. IF all take, your
chance Is good for obtaining from five
to ten acres Of oats and field seeded
down to grass. Then prepare as many
acres for rye-sowing, provided your
land is not good enough for wheat, and
the two crops will give you all the
straw you need, and the corn field, with
usual good luck, will produce enough
to fatten stock. At the end of the sea
son you will have the produce from ff.
teen OF twenty acres of land, represent
eG 10 oats, corn and potatoes, and as
many acres sown with rye and wheat.
Keep just stock enough to eat up the
produce in grain and hay, and after
gathering your next years crop of hay
and grain, covering say fifty acres of
your farm of one hundred acres, you
may think of adding as many head Of
cattle as your farm will sustain without
purchasing heavily of foreign supplies.
By the end of the fourth year you are
ready to put in crop of wheat and
save plowiDg up your bottom meadow,
you have re-seeded your whole farm
and are now ready to enlarge your dairy
and at the end of ten years your land
ought to be in condition double your
crops and the number Of your cattle.
This is rotation.

Mary, Oneen or Scots.

That Mary wore false hair, and OF
many different colors. :heTe is every
reason to believe. Elizabeth is known
to have had collection Of eighty wigs,
and her dear cousin, with the unusual
advantages Of so many seasons in Paris,
is not likely to have been far behind
her. Among the statements OF the ac-
counts OF her personal expenditures are
numerous items of per,pues dc cheUellz,
and Sir Francis KuolIis, writing to
Burleigh of the ever faithful mistress
Mary Seaton, the finest busker, that is
head of hair that is TO be seen in any
country" says, ''And among the pretty
devices she did set such curled hair
upon the Queen, that was said to be
perewyke that showed very delicately.
And every other day she hath a new
device OF head-dressing, without any
cost, and yet setting forth woman
gayle well.'' This variety and eccen-
tricity of coiffure naturally adds TO the
confusion, and makes greater the diff
Guilty in identifying positive any of the
portraits or descriptions Of her. Histo-
rians say that her mother was tall and
beautiful, that her father was dignified.
having a fair complexion and light
hair ; and other and contemporaueous
historians say that she inherited most Of
the charisteristics of her parents, ''being
about the ordinary size. with fair COM
plexion and Grecian features, and a
nose somewhat longer than q painter
would care to perpetuate her
face was oval, her forehead high and
dne." Froude, In later days, pictures
her as graceful alike in person and in
intellect, and as possessing that pecu-
liar beauty in which the form is lost in
the expression, and which every paint
er has represented differently; and
Brantome, one Of the ancient chronic
leTs, summing it all up in one fine SEN
tence, describes her at her marriage to
the danphin as being "more beauteous
and charming than celestial goddess. y
IAN angel is like you, Kate and you
are like an angel" was a very pretty
speech for Shakspere's Henry V. to
make TO the French Kings d aughter,
but it gives us of to-day no better
notion of Kauherine's beauty than do all
the composite portraits by painters and
historians of the wondrous loveliness of
the Queen of Scots.

Two monster Russian guns have been

ing placed in the new ironclad Sinope,
and although some OF the details must
be Inaccurate, the Official description is

are twelye-inch pieces, weighing fifty
tons, and throwing pIojectiIes of nearly
half ton. The powder charge is 270
pounds, and the initial velocity 5000
metres, while the distance of tie cali

Treatment OF Horses.

Though horses are often injured or
destroyed by being suffered 10 drank
too much cold water when waTm-a
much greater number have been ruined
by giving grain At improper seasons.
/: has generally been supposed danger
Gus to feed grain 10 a horse that has
Just come into the stable-yeTY warm
and sweaty-but what evidence have
we that they have suffered from this
cause ? Do men fear to eat immedi-
ately after quitting the seythe or chop
ping wood :? Horses will not eat much
Immediately on stopping after hard
drive. What reason then 10 suppose
they have ever suffered from this cause.
It is violent exercise Immediately after
eating that ruins horses and causes dis
tress in al animals that are put to it.
And though everyman of reflection
knows violent exercise Immediately
after eating, causes pain 10 his own
stomach, yet many will give horses the
most solid food just before commencing
the labors Of the day. We have seen
stage drivers, who have ordered meal
and water given to their horses, on
stopping for a short time TO rest, and is
1t surprising that some OF the horses
fell dead On opening the stomachs
ot some of these horses, the meal was
found in hard cakes, undigested. Vio-
lent exercise probably prevented the
proper action of the gastric juice on the
food.
Men who give their horses no grain,
except on extraordinary occasions, will
administer dose just before starting
for a days ride. They would not give
it the night preceding, lest its virtues
should al evaporate before morning.
such practices ought 70 be ridiculed If
we cannot reason people out of them.
We have tried feeding in various ways,
and have come To the conclusion that
the best ard heartiest food should be
gived Rt'night, and this should be very
soon after the horse is put in the stable.
lie will then soon eat enough TO satisfy
his appetite and will have time TO lie
down and rest his food will serve
during the whole OF the next day, and
he will need but little batting til! he
stops again at night. "a
Farm horses that are never driven

Meatless ups.

Soup is both healthful and economi-
cal and should form part OF the dinner
every day in the year. Many house,
keepers remote from markets are de-
tered from making soup by the mis-
taken idea that it is necessary TO have
fresh meat in order to make 1t. Many
very excellent soups are made without
meat, and will be found delicate and
convenient.

celery, and cut in small pieces. Cover

ENTIRELY TOO BEARISH.
The Wind Up of the Month Intensifies DULL
ness in Oil.

The Wind-Up of the Month Intensifies DULL
ness in Oil.
. The close of the month witnessed very dull
oil market The influences were generally
bearish. In addition to the wells at Jefferson
Junction, which promises to be regular tearer.
This batch of reports, added to the apathy
which usually distinguishes the last day of a
month. kept feeling at a low ebb all day.
The market opened at 99A, which was also
the top price. declined to 9S5s, and then to 9S79,
which was the final quotation. John r. Nc
Kee, Jr., sold 10000 barrels at 9SK. This was
more than the market could stand up under in
its sensitive condition and a break was the re-
suit. He offered $1,000 barrels cash at 49, but
nobody had the nerve to take it. Saturdays
clearings were only 100 900 barrels.
That something must be done to infuse life
into the oil market has been admitted by
everybody familiar with the trade for a long
time, For months it has been almost as life
less as mummy Various reasons have been
advanced to account for this extraordinary de-
preston, some holding that it is traceable to
the adoption of the rule for trading in future
deliveries. But the market was dull before.
The true reason is lack of outside support and
a steady, though not very slow. diminution of
the working capital, until there is not enough OF
1t leftto build up respectable short interest on.
To put the market in better shape, and recover
some of the lost business, if possible, meeting
was held on the floor of the Exchange yester-
day afternoon, the object being to rescind or
amend the conference rule and restore the
former system of daily deliveries.
Mr.. John R. Mckee presided. Mr.. Harry
Sproul explained that the primary object was
to win back the influential traders in New
York who have held aloof since the change was
made. He denied that going back to the old
method would be crawfishing or eating crow.
1t was a business move from which he antici'
pated good results. These views met the aps
proval of the assembled brokers' and the quesl
tion being put to vote, it was carried by NOR,
than three-fourths majority.
