Awful Fate of Two Children.

San Francisco Examiner.
A wagon with loading has arrived at
East Darr Station, Queensland, from
Barcaldine. and the driver reports the
following terrible tragedy: A man ac-
companied by his wife and two chill
dren. aged three years and one year,
had pitched tent on the river bank.
The first night the father was
awakened by hearing one of the
children moaning. He lit a candle
and found the girl apparently in
fit, and she died in a few minutes.
She was buried OH the spot the next
day. The infant child was placed i'll
the bed previous occupied by the de-
ceased the next night, when the parents
were again awakened by the child
moaning. The father Immediately
struck light and saw large brown
snake gliding off the infants breast.
The child also died in great agony III a
few minutes. Some carriers came and
discovered the snakes hole under the
tent. Digging down they quickly un-
earthed the reptile aud killed it.

Far up in the mountains of Ceylofh,

they are called, measure sometimes ten

in the early morning you NAV dash right

The bodies of these spiders are very

feet. Yet boat or a ship can ride
them in safety. If. however, sudden
gale comes up, the swell becomes rag
ing sea.
The friction of the wind, rapidly
moving upon the exposed slope of the
swell, produces little irregularities on
the surface. These wavelets are then
driven up the rear slope of the swell to
its summit, while the forward slope has
more and more protection from the
wind. and becomes sleeper and sleeper.
As the wind continues to blow, the crest
of the Storm wave constantly sharpens.
until it is finally thrown over with ire
sistible force. A shin cannot rise up
its abrupt front, and the water falls on
the deck. sweens everything before it,
and often engnlfs the vessel itself.
Now, the oil changes the storm wave
into the heavy swell. 1t floats on the
surface. spreads rapidly. and forms a
film like an extremely thin rubber
blanket over the water. The friction OF
the wind cannot tear the film. and send
those wavelets up the slope of tie swell,
and the ship is enabled to ride it in
safety.
So it is seen that the effect is purely a
mechanical change in the form of the
wave; there is no apparent chemical
change.

TIE SEA-GULL.
Some Interesting Notes About
This Familiar Shore Bird.


This Familiar Shore Bird.
Birds that live alOng the coast all
have their peculiarities. and many of
these excite the interest of the observer.
The common gull, or tern, as ornith0lo
gistS call it. is mere familiar to the
young readers of the GLOBE. perhaps
than any other shore bird. and yet it
has many habits that are known only to
those who make study of them season
after season.
Like the fish-hawk, the gull arrives
on the Jersey coast early in May. and is
welcomed by fishermen as the advance
agent of the fish. 1t feeds upon the lat
ter. and when it comes it is pretty safe
to count upon the fish as being there,
too. ~
In the month OF June. when the nest
ing season begins. vast numbers OF
gulls may be found on the islands and

III meat is not fit for sailing until
free from animal heat, aEt yet II
should not be frozen in the least, as
this condition prevents the salt pene-
trating it. Cover the bottom of the
barrel with salt to the depth of three
inches, then pack the strips of pork
in circles, the rind facing the barrel,
but with a deposition of salt inter-
vening and a stratum of salt upon
each layer of pork. When the mid
dlings are sailed prepare a brine SUI
ficient to well cover the pork, using
all the salt that the water will dis
solve. Bring to the boil, skim, and
when cold pour over the sailed pork.
A well-adjusted cover is q necessary
part of a pork barrel.
Trim the hams and rub them over
with salt, to extract the blood. In
two days apply the following pickle:
One and a half pounds of salt and q
pound of brown sugar to each gallon
OF water, and an ounce of saltpeter
to 100 pounds of meat; bring to q
boil, skim, and pour over when cold.
Hams should remain in tile pickle
from four to six weeks. In packing
don't let them press against each
other; they are likely to faint at the
bone before becoming thoroughly
sailed. Those skilled in the curing
of hams remove them from one bar
rel to another twice a week until the
curing is partially completed, to pre-
vent tainting at the bone.

snut IN Corn.

E~#&#@% H4%&EsAa4- #EEm# E&%G&H- #EHEss
Every farmer knows what is meant
by corn smut. It has been made a
study by different persons, and
among them the celebrated agricul-
turist, Henry Stewart, and the main
points which he has determined are
that this parasite-as tits considered
such by Observation-Disclosures the
plant at the roots and from the soil;
that it is much encouraged from the
continuous growth of corn upon the
same land; that the refuse, smutty
stalks should be carefully gathered
and burned, to destroy the spores
and prevent the stocking of the soil
with them; that if permittedto go in
to the manure the parasite is thus
sown upon the land, where it is likely
to remain until a new is planted;
that if the smutty corn or fodder is
fed the spores will pass through the
the animal unframed and go into
the manure. and that these spores
are not likely to spread from one
field to another through the circulate
ing air. The mature smut of corn
bears q close resemblance to the ma
ture puff-ball, and we cannot see why
the spores might not be distributed
quite largely by the wind. 1t is
claimed that there are no remedies
when once it develops in corn, and
that the only successful treatment is
to cut o. pull all corn that shows
signs of smut and cause it's destruc-
ton. If such a course was pursued
by all farmers smut might in process
of time be wholly eradicated.-Ger-
