Underground Palaces.

The Imperial Cave In New South
Wales, Australia, is considered one of
the most magnificent of the series now
opened. 1t is described rs "graccd with
myriads of lovely objects, which shine in
chambers whose walls are clad in beauty
of thousand stars. There are under
ground gulics terrible enough to be the
home of Apollyon with legions of COB.

BY the entrance of the Imperial Cave
Is an excavation some seventy feet long
and twenty feet wide, which is called
the "Woolshed" because the formation
over the walls and roof resembles the
fleeces of sheep hanging about and
spreading over the shelving of rocks.
From this descent is obtained into
the "Architect's Studio" n cavern which
is marvel of beauty, with large masses
OF stalactitcS hanging from the roof and
along the walls, column after column
profusely decorated with COAL and
tracery and natural carvings. Most of
the formation is white or gray, but some
some of it is richly colored
Then in the Imperial Cave there arc n
succession of marvellous apartments,
called respectively either after some
famous Colonial lady or from some special
characteristic. The Imperial Cave, in
deed, is full of enchanted grottoes and
fairy palaces which it is practically i'm
possible to describe.

THE GREAT STAPLE INDIAN corr.


The oftcn-hcard statement that "corn
is king" i'll this country needs no rcpcti-
ton, yet it is doubtful if its great value
is in all respects fully appreciated. We
arc so accustomed to its use MS food
for both men and animals that we hard
ly reaizc its value rs an incom-
parable grain food whca used simply for
iattening, or when juticiously mixed
with other foods in the process of growth
and development of the animal. The
chcapness AND ease with which Indian
corn is produced, and its entire adapta-
bility to our soil and climate, make its
superiority to all other forms of grain
food for animals strikinyly apparent. Ac-
cordlns to the facts developed in pig
feeding at the Kansas Experiment Sta !
ton. 1t is futile to talk of using sub
stances other than corn, such as bran,
shorts. barley, OATS milk, peas, etc, in
ilpork- making upon Il large scale; and
should we be reduced to the necessity of
using any or all Of these rs substitute
for Indian corn our supremacy rs pork
producing nation will have passed away.
| The experiment above referred to con
sisted in feeding one series of five, fully
grown, but rather thin pigs, on mixture
of two parts of shorts, middlings or ship
stuff, as it is variously called, to one of
bran. The corn-fcd series of i've similar
pigs received only cornmcal, rather
coarsely ground. In both sets the food
was given in the condition of u thick
slop and as much rs would be eaten with
out waste. The experiment lasted six
teen weeks. At the end of the twelfth
week the corn-fed pigs were ready for
the butcher, having gained go pounds,
against S35 pounds grain in the shorts
brand fed series. The shorts bran fed
pigs required twenty-five per cent more
time for ripcning than was needed by
the corn-fcd series. But even when the
feeding of the corn-fed lot was prolonged
to their great disadvantage TO period
equal to that occupied by the shorts-brau
fed series it cost to make hundred
weight of gain from shorts-bran twenty
tive cents more than was needed to make
like gain from cornmcal alone In
strength of bone and quantity of the
meat the advantage was clearly on the
side Of the corn-fed pigs.

The Phenomena of Echoes.

Every one is familiar with the pheno-
mena OF echoes In cave in the PAN
theon, the guide, by striking the flap of
his coat, makes noise equal to twelve
pound lannon's report. The singularity
is noticed, in lesser degree, in the Mann
moth Cave, in Kentucky. In the cave of
Smellin, near Viborg, in Finland, cat
or dog thrown in will make ii screaming
echo, lasting some minutes. Pliny tells
OF cave in Dalmatia where stone tossed
IN would raise perfect storm. Fingai's
Cave, on the Isle of Stafla, has an all
normally developed echo.

The meaning Of tie expression mime
tailors make man" is traced to the sing
ular custom of tolling the church bell Il
given number of times, at burial, to
denote the sex of the deceased. In some
places the custom is still cxtant. and is
generally three for child, six for a
woman, and nine for man. These
strokes, of course were counted and had
an arithmetical idea connected with them,
and thus the knell, at its conclusion, was
said to be tollcd or counted. By degrees
this idea became confused or lost, and the
participlc told" was referred to sup
posed infinite Hto TOLL" instead of its
natural infinite 'to. tell" By carving
the history of this error a little further,
we may arrive ut an calculation of an
otherwise obscure provcrb. The strokes
told or counted at the end of the kncll
were called from their office 'tellcrs. u
This term was again changed into
'tailers, " from their sounding at the end
of ''taif of the knell; and nine of these
being given to announce the death of an
adult male, gave rise to the saying,
"Nlnc tailOrs make man"

SIMPLE CULTURE OF CELERY.

market gardener who has Travelled
widely and is acquainted with all the
peculiarities OF celery production for
market, dined with me last winter, says
o. S. Bliss, in the New York Tribune,
and, with look of establishment, asked
where I obtained such celery. Said he /:
~ never saw finer" When told that it
grew in my own garden and came from
my own cellar, his wonder increased.
But when told how easily and chcaply
it had been raised l really think his
credulity was shaken. Long familiar
with the accepted theory of celery grow
ing and the alleged requirements of tho
crop, had often wondered if there was
not good deal of unnecessary routine
about it. And when l concluded to
make business of growing it myself,
though only on very small scale, put
this suspicion to practical test and con-
iirmed it. My theory is, in brief, that if
given plenty of food and water the plants
may be grown from the seed without
transplanting, and thickly enough for
mutual blanching, thus saving the cx-
pcnsc of both transplanting and earthing
up. My method, which may be dcscrip-
lively named the four-row flat culture
method, is to open trench a foot deep and
from twenty to twenty-four inches wide.
This, however short, can be most economi-
cally done with pillow. Manure from the
general manure shed, consisting of horse,
COW, hog and hen manure, mixed as
made, and always moist enough not to
burn, is thrown into the trench, filling it
to the surface level, and covered with the
line earth from the trench to the dcnth os

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN ------'
MILK fRSa riI1IN dows.

When a COW is thin, and especially if
She benlosng flesh, her milk cannot be
rich in; fat; and what there is will make
poor butter;. and icotnc slowly. This is
the. trouble that many farmers find Mt the
beginning Of winter. Cream that could
be made into butter in fifteen or twenty
minutes has now to be churned an hour
or more. The remedy is to feed the
cows more heavily, and with, something
that will increase fat as well as milk flow.
If the COW be worth Keeping as mixer
she will not dry up and become becfy
under such treatment. If she does it is
fair warming that she is worth more to
the butcher than for the dairy.-Amcri-

PRESIDENT WOODRUFF, steward, Carer of Flocks, and Principal Bottle
 Washer for the church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints insists that he was in earnest when he uttered the remark able pronounciamento which adjured Mormons to lead, henceforth correct lives. Heretofore it has been considered oSS'ofEsi'1tl in presenting the truths to Zion to consult wlIhf the spooks of St. Brigham and St. Joseph, and have a revelation. This tine that feature has been omitted The shades of departed saints have been ignored. But the question arises amongst sacriligeous gen tiles, "Why, if Polygmany was especially ordained by God through revelation, was 1t not done away with in the same manner!" There arises a question of the legality of President Woodruff, a plain ordinary person, doing away with the spiritual commandments of St. Brigham. We are not inclined to doubt the sincerity of President Woodruff-reither do We question that the housebreaker may not become contrite when he is caught in- fiagrante delicto. We are willing to give both the benefit of a doubt, ttat they have experienced a change of heart; but we would not insist upon the house. breaker carrying our night key, at least for a probationary period.
