The Joyous News Was Life 10 Him.

The Russian sculptor and Socialist,
Kamensli, who, for sixteen years, has
found refuge in the United States, at
tracts attention by the depth of a scar
over his right eyebrow. The scar is not
connected with some romantic tale of
Siberian horror. 1t is the result of a
kick Of Kansas mule, No little sur
prise was created at the time that it did
not cause instant death. 1t came, how
ever, very near doing so. The sculptor
was taken up unconscious, and when his
reason returned he was told he was about
to die. In a semi-comatose state he made
his last will and awaited the end. Mean
while over the wires flashed the news of
the assassination of Gar Alexander. A
friend who knew Kamenskis principles
vowed he should not die without hearing
the news, and, evading the doctor in at
tendance, she cautiously stole to his bed
side and whispered in his ear the fate of
the autocrat. The fast chilling blood
became warmed and pulsed gleefully
through the feeble heart, life was re-
newed and Kamenski recovered. The

Natures Hotel.

The most remarkable hotel In the
world is in California, on the road be-
tween Santa Cruz and San Jose. It is a
well-known fact that California possesses
the largest trees in the world, and a
shrewd hotel builder has conceived the
idea of using a group of these mammoths,
thus saving himself the cost of building
or rent. The hollow trunk of one tree,
whose circumference is about twenty
two yards, is arranged as reception
room, and the surrounding garden,
sheltered by thick roof of spreading
branches, serves as dining-room and
smoking-room. A number of other
smaller hollow trunks make comfortable
bedrooms, furnished in the most ap
proved style, and some trees at little
distance are occupied by the hotel staff,

A Thunderstorm Recorder.

At the last annual conversations of the
London Royal Society was shown
among other interesting exhibits-a fine
instrument constructed by Messrs. Rich
ard Freres for recording the various
meteorological phenomena of thunder
storms. In this apparatus the variation
of the barometer, the velocity of the
wind, the duration and intensity of rain
fall and hail, the instant at which flashes
Of lightning occur, and the time and du-
ration of the corresponding claps of
thunder, are all recorded on sheet of
paper moving under the recording pens
at the rate of six feet per hour, so that
it is easy to read the time record to half

Modest Salaries in the Old Days.

There was not a postoffice in the
United States in 1889 that paid better
salary than $4,000. That was the salary
at New York, and there were twenty
other offices with the same salary.
Pennsylvania had four of them. James
Page was Postmaster at Philadelphia,
James Peacock at Harrisburg, Robert
Cochran at Erie and Robert Lynch at
Pittsburg, all drawing $4,000. A
notable thing in connection with the
postoffice at Lancaster, which then paid
S14S3, was the fact that Mary Dickson
was postmistress, almost the only instance
of the blue book of 1889 of woman
holding profitable Government Office.

RECIPES.

Sqrdine Salad - Use a cupful Of
chopped sardines, free from bones, to
pint bowl of lettuce or sliced cucumbers;
season with salt, pepper, little mustard
and vinegar, and serve the salad as soon
as it is made, because the lettuce begins
to wilt directly it is dressed with salt and
vinegar.
Lyonnaiss Potatoes-Slice cold-boiled
potatoes into neat rounds; cut medium
sized onion into thin slices, and put it
with good tablespoonful of butter or
bacon dripping into the frying pan; when
the onion is colored, add the potatoes,
about two cupfuls, and stir them about
until they are light brown. Strew with,
chopped parsley, and serve.
Cold Chicken Wings-The wings,
drumsticks, necks, livers, hearts, and
gizzards of pair of chickens, with any
good portions remaining from the first
service, make an excellent dish for cold
use. The pieces are first to be boiled in
enough water to cover them, with pala-
table seasoning of salt and pepper, until
tenderi then each piece is to be rolled in
cracker meal, dipped in beaten egg,
again rolled in cracker dust, and fried IN
plenty of hot fat like doughnuts.
Cold Ham With Plum Saad-Ham
properly cleansed and boiled with few
sprigs of sweet herbs, a bay leaf, an
onion stuck with cloves, a lemon sliced,
a red pepper, and plenty of water is
very different meat from that done care
lessly without soaking or trimming away
imperfect parts. Boil the ham slowly,
and when it is just tender cool it in its
broth and cut it after it is cold. The
plum salad is made by slicing the large
California plums with a silver knife aud
serving them with salt, cayenne, and
sherry.
Peach Meringue-Use fresh eggs and
ripe peaches peeled with a silver knife,
cutting them in halves. Beat the whites
of the eggs to stiff froth; gently mix
in heaping tablespoonful for each egg
of XXX sugar, sifted free from Jumps,
and smoothly blend it with the beaten
whites. Lay the peaches on soufiepan
or a platter which Withstand oven heat,
heap the meringue over each, and quickly
| brown the surface in moderate oven. II
crisp, sugary surface is desired, lightly
dust over it little powdered sugar be
Tore browning it. The surface of the
meringue should indicate the little
mounds of fruit under it. If properly
made with ripe peaches the dish is de
| licious.

PoMoLoaY ON PAPER.

"a Veteran Pomologistn writes in the
New York Tribune; A speaker at a re-
cent Boston farmers meeting referred to
a 25-bushel crop of apples from a single
tree, and calculated that an acre of 20
trees bearing at the same rate would
produce $40 barrels, 'which is better
than is done by most of the 10-acre
orchards. But cut it down to two
barrels tree, and we have 14O barrels
per acre, and how many reach that
dgurel lie thought very few" Now,
an orchard with 20 trees to the acre
would be too much crowded to succeed
well. The trees might have sufficient
room while young or half-grown, but not
when large enough TO bear an average of
25 bushels each. Many orchards, prob
ably a majority of successful ones, set
their apple trees 33 feet Ctwo rods) apart,
which gives 40 trees to the acre. At 25
bushels 10 the tree, this would be 333
barrels, if all the trees were equally per
feet in form, growth and productiveness.
But there are many other orchardists who
prefer distance Of 40 feet, giving only
"a trees 70 the acre, and affording 227
barrels. But trees are not uniform in
growth; the soil in different places may
affect the quantity Of crop, and a part Of
the trees would not probably bear nearly
The 20 bushels. Cutting down the pro-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Flat culture is better than hill cul-
ture, in dry weather.
1t is not necessary to wait till the 4th
of July before beginning haying.
Glover hay makes capital feed to go
along with corn silage in winter.
A good griudstone will save horsefesh,
hay and time, if rightly used during
having.
Thousands of farmers are yet unappre-
ciative of the value of drainage to a cold
and heavy soil.
Use horsepower whenever possible in
handling hay; it costs less and is quicker
than hand power.
How is that moving machine1 Are
the knives all righti Are the bolts with
their nuts all in placel
A good road always adds value to the
real estate near it. In all road discussions
this should be remembered.
Farm work is rarely carried on with
the care, ,forethought and regard to little
things which business men show.
Many farmers forget that coal ashes
are excellent on heavy clay soils, not as
fertilizer, but to make the soil light
and porous.
Small farms and better farming are
needs of the day. Many farmers would
make money by cultivating half of their
land on the intensive plan.

ting has lost from one-third to one-half
its value as fodder, and the chances of
getting a second crop are less sure than
if cut early.
If you have large field of clover and
the weather is showery and "catchIng"
so that you find it hard to cure it into
good hay, try the silo; farmers tried it
last year with success.
If your barns will not hold all your
hay, and you are obliged to stack some
of it out of doors, build the stacks as
large as possible, and cover the top
with fresh cut slough grass.
The farmer who makes his soil deep
and rich with high culture and manure,
and whose cattle are sleek and gentle, is
the one who complains least about the
depression in agriculture. How are you

Good ventilation at all times-by night

A QUESTION ABOUT RAISING CREAM.

The question has been asked, Why
will not the cream rise in deep pals as
well, when kept in the air at a tempera-
ture of forty-tive degrees, as in water at
the same temperaturel That it will not
so rise is a matter of fact, which surprises
some personss The explanation is simple
When pail Of milk is set in cold water
1t is cooled very rapidly, and in short
time the milk will be reduced to the low
temperature of the water. The change
of density of the milk, produced by the
cold, causes the lighter cream, or the
butter globules, speaking more correctly,
to separate and rise to the surface very
quickly. If the milk be set in the air
at the same low temperature, it will cool
very slowly, because air is a very slow
conductor of heat, and water very
quick one. Consequently the upward
motion of the cream is 50 slow and
weak that it cannot force its way through
the depth of milk before a change oc-
ours in the milk by which the motion of
the cream is stopped. Rapid cooling is
necessary for the rapid rising of the
cream.-Ameriean Agricultural.

SHEEP IN THE APPLE ORCHARD.

One Of the methods of decreasing the
codling moth in apple orchards is to al
low the hogs TO roam among the trees,
but the hog, not being very alert, is apt
to miss many of the fallen apples, allow
ing the larva to escape. An Oregon or
chardist recommends that sheep are bet
ter in the orchard than hogs, being
much more apt to get every fruit which
drops. The greatest drawback, how
ever, is their fondness for gnawing the
trunks of the trees, especially if they are
young. II the trunks are washed once
month with a solution of soapsuds, whale
oil and sheep manure, the trees will not
be molested. This inclination upon the
part of the sheep is often brought about
by a desire for fresh water, which
should be supplied in abundance at all
times.

A New Collar Bone.

A boy of eighteen years was admitted
to the Mount Sinai Hospital, suffering
from a swelling over the region of the
collar bone. 1t was evident that the
bone was deeply affected, and the only
recourse was an operation, which was
made. The entire bone was found dead,

replaced in the wound as nearly as possible
in its original position, the object being
to form new bone matter throughout its
length and thus reproduce an entire col

dressed the arm was subsequently kept
in the same position that a fracture of
the collar bone would have required, the
result being that ten weeks after the
operation the patient was discharged

The american Agricultrist, there are
numerous inquiries about punches on cat
tie. These are caused by a large fly,
called Gstris bowls, which attacks cattle,
pierces, the skin and deposits its eggs in
the wound. In a short time swelling
IS observed which causes a deposit of Sc
erection from the irritation of the grow
ing larva which has been Matched from
rhe egg deposited. These tumors or
sounches may attain the size of walnut,
and when there are several of them on
young and feeble animal they produce a
good deal of irritation and fever. Usual
ay nature sets up a discharge through an
opening from which the insect is ex-
PEELED, and, il circumstances favor, it
soon develops wings and renews the
parental instinct of depositing its eggs in
living tissues whose temperature matches
The eggs and protects the insect. 1t is
therefore desirable to relieve our afflicted
cattle thus attacked by enlarging the
opening, and squeezing out the Immature
insect, injecting oil into the opening, or
pulling out the grub by a small, sharp
hook. A crude carbolic mixture brushed
over the backs of cattle at the time of
the appearance of the fly may protect
them.

coNvEN1ENcEs FOR urvrNe.

Bees will cluster on a limb of q tree,
which can be either cut or sawed off, car
ried to a hive and the bees shook off,
which they will enter. But it is not
always poetry like this; there are other
contingencies that we must be prepared
to meet, like swarms clustering in the
tops of high trees, or on their trunks
where they cannot be dislodged, on
fences, grape stakes, etc. Sometimes the
cost of hiving is more than the swarm is
worth, provided there are no convent
ences at hand to Tighten the labor.
Mr.. Nahum, of Vermont, has my
thanks, and should have those of all
women, for his contrivance for hiving
swarms. 1t consists Of a wire basket, at
tached to long pole, which is light and
convenient. BY standing on a chair, 1
have been able to reach swarms with it
that 1 could not possibly have saved
without the aid of ladders. BY placing
the basket under the cluster, and giving
it sudden jar, the bees fall into it. As
the queen is generally on the outside of
it, many times she will be secured, and,
by standing the basket near, the rest soon
follow. A peach basket fitted on the end
of pole would many times prove bless
ing.
When many bees are kept, low grow
ing trees, like peach and May cherries,
are desideratum. Large forest trees are
not desirable. l know farmer who

THE FARM AND GARDEN.


A good way to raise tomato or cab
bage plants, says Nebraska farmer, is
TO take the cans (small size), hold over
the fire and unsolder the bottom and
sides, then take string and tie around
the can, then get small box and set the
cans in; now fill cans with dirt and put
two or three tomato seeds in each can.
When they come up pull up all but one
in each can. In the spring when ready
to set out, dig hole size OF can, unite
string and set dirt and plant in the hole;
pack dirt around solid. In this way the
plant will keep right on growing. Now
is the time to sow the seed.
