The prince of Naples, the future

as silent, cold and stoical young man,
overwhelmed by scientific and phil.

a hard working soldier. He never

A REM ABLE CANE.

California Mine.


a California Mine.
Sam Tyack. the interesting lessee OF
the Syndicate, broke into natural
cave in the mine few days ago about
200 feet from the surface, says the
Homer (CaL) Index, and discovered
many things Of interest to the student
OF archaeology. The miners were
putting in hole, when the drill sud-
denly disappeared, much to their
establishment. A couple OF holes oil
less depth were then drilled and fired,
which made an aperture through
which the men entered chamber
about 40 feet square and quite as high,
the sides and roof of which were
chalcedony bulged out in all sorts of
grotesque fantastic shapes. Sammy
entered first, and, swinging his candle
around, caught sight of score OF
objects that startled him. Come, in,
boysm he exclaimed. Here's a
bloody anatomical museum" They
crawled in and participated in Sans
establishment, for which there was
ample cause, as the interior of the
cave flashed with the iridescence OF a
million colored gems. 1t seemed-so
Sam says-as ii ali the glittering
stars in the armament had come
down to hold high carnival and
flash themselves through lenses OF
variegated hues. Exploring further
they found still more cause for wonder.
Petrifactions OF animals, birds and rep
tiles abounded. There were great
owls and monstrous bats and several
snakes as hideous as il endowed with

ago, before Bodie bluff was created.
and when the present site OF Mono's
metropolis was closely dotted with the

them TO Prof Ireland, chief OF the state

Marvels In Match Making.

Several ingenious machines for thu
various operations in the match manu-
facture have already been invented in
Scandinavia, and more are shortly ex-
pected. Both in Sweden and Norway
machines for packing the matches
have recently been tried, and it is
understood with very good results.
The Norwegian machine is the inven-
tion OF two young engineers at Gjovik,
and is said to be able to pack 1000
boxes per minute, which is equal to
the work OF forty packers. The other
machine is invented by Swedish en-
ginser OF Stockholm, but can probably
not compete with the former.

Beginning with the harrow, which
under average conditions is one of the
best implements to commence the Gull

OF harrows may be good implements,
as yet we have no one style that can

FASHIONABLE SOCIETY.

The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
DURANGO of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue of the ballroom,
the bad air of the illy-ventilated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive Com
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health Of the hardi-

Hints to HouseiScepers,

Ham should be broiled very quickly,
and just enough to cook through.
Tin cleaned with paper will shine
better than when cleaned with flannel.
Oilcloths will last longer if one or
two layers OF wadded carpet-lining
are laid under them.
Tea leaves are good to scatter over
carpets before sweeping, not only to
freshen the colors, but also TO prevent
the dust arising.
Flowers can be kept fresh for some
time if pinch of soda or saltpetre is
added TO the water. Wilted roses will
regain their freshness If dipped q min
ute or two in hot water.
A simple means OF changing the air
OF a sick-roOm is to open Il window at
the top and opening the door, move it
backward and forward rapidly, so as to
insure current of fresh air from the
window.
Discolored te:: and coffee pots may
be cleaned by filling them with water
in which two or three tablespoonfuls of
wood ashes have been placed. and let
ting il boil up, then wash thoroughly
with hot soap-suds and rinse.
One may utilize old mating which
is no longer fresh enough TO look well,
by putting it under carpets. 1t can be
cleaned perfectly by washing it on
both sides with hot salt and water;
hang it on line outdoors to dry.
Cheese which instantly and intense
ly redden blue litmus paper should not
be eaten. This is a test easy of appli-
cation, and every merchant on cutting
fresh cheese should make it. Ii the
cheese is dry, bit OF it should be
moistened with water and the ltmus
paper then applied.
To take grease out of white marble:
Apply a pile OF whiting or fuller's
earth saturated with benzine, and allow
it to stand some time. Or apply a
mixture of two parts washing soda,
one part ground pumice. stone and one
part chalk. all first finely powdered
and made into paste with water;
rub well over the marble, and finally
wash off with soap and water.
Boiled custard requires patience and
care. II the eggs reach the boiling
point, they will break, and yet if they
do not reach it within two or three de-
grees, the custard will not thicken, and
will taste raw, and lack the exquisite
thick smoOthness of well-made custard.
10 produce this, yet avoid curdling,
therefore, patience, aud proceed as
follows: "Stir the mixture over mod
crate fire. When you see from the end
OF the spoon that it begins to thicken
at the bottom draw it to a cooler spot
where it will not boil, stir half "a min
ute, then return TO the hotter spot. Do
this several times, checking the APP
proach to boiling point each time there
is danger until the whole of the mix
ture has reached that point which may
be known by it being rich, thick and
perfectly Opaque.

Farmers are learning that at no sea-
son is it profitable to under feed cows.
Their product in milk, butter or cheese
is worth more than the extra food re-
Quired to produce IL above what is
needed to merely maintain life. The
excessive feeding Of corn has been one
draw back to winter dairying. For a
little time the milk and butter product
is increased, but soon, heavy feeding
will run to fat aud the animal will dry
OFF and be fit only for tho butcher.
by mixing corn meal with wheat bran
and giving both largely thinned with
water, the ration may be kept up,
but its fatteniug effect increases
or diminishes with the proportions
used. With new milch COW the pro-
portion Of corn meal should be larger,
as during the heavy flow OF milk at
this time the tendency is to run off
flesh very rapidly, unless the animal
is full fed. And herein is one great
advantage in having cows calve in tho
Fall rather than in the Spring. They
can be fed with corn meal late in Fall
and through the Winter, and be in
excellent condition TO continue full
mess when tured out to grass. Where
as il the calf is dropped in the Spring
the large flow of milk comes at sea-
son when the food is most stimulating
to extra milk production. BY Fall
the COW will be down in flesh, aud
grain food will only result in fa:tening
her. N. Y. Herald.

There seems to be quite a difference
of opinion among horsemen as to the
value of corn fodder as u food for
horses. A leading farm paper a few
weeks ago cautioned its readers
against feeding horses on corn-stalks,
stating that they would make the
horses coats rough. Mr.. &. w. Will
liams, the breeder and trainer of
AXtell, says that his wonderful colt
had little besides corn stalks for rough
fodder during nearly two winters. He
says he considers corn-stallSs the best
rough fodder he can get for colts. The
writer once worked for u farmer who
never cut any hay. His cattle and
horses never had any fodder but cured
corn-stalks. The animals always
looked well and the horses did their
full share OF work.

that lowered furthest aloft within a

forever. He had gained the ''place

claim the victory, when the wren, who
was nestled among his feathers unob-
served, huttered into the air over
him, and was proclaimed king by the

but slight disposition to set. Their legs
are very short, the shanBs from the knee
to the toes being not over two inches

duck, the legs being far apart and set
back like those Of a duck, giving
large preponderance OF breast meat.
They cannot fly over a fence, but
forage well. Their short, strong legs

the determination not TO get them in
the American standard, as the breed is
to be bred especially for market and
eggs. aud not for points There
will be a standard made for them by
the breeders however, but the highest
points will be given to quality. Under
this management they will go to the
