Better Records of Deaths.

New books, which furnish improved
facilities for keeping death records,
have been put in use at the city heath
Office. One of the books is for the
death record from 1880 to 1885, during
which the certificates were filed away
but not duly recorded, and the other is
for the future, commencing the lst of
January. There are about three thou
sand old death certificates on file from
1850 to 1880, and these will be resur-
rected and IN spare hours will be re-
corded by Or. Wilson. The new books
have blanks for name of deceased, age,
color, sex, occupation, place of birth
and death, date, cause, date the per-
NIT was granted, cemetery, attending
physician and the undertaken. Under
the present charter there - no provi-
sion for keeping the records. A charter
amendment viii be asked for TO cover

THE MOLE'S EYES.

A Popular Error Corrected by Reputable
German Naturalist.
Carl Hess, the German naturalist, has
proved by minute microscopical investi-
gaticn that the eye of the mole is per-
fectly capable of seeing, and tba at it is
not short-sighted, as another naturalist
(KadyD would have us believe. Hess
maintains that, in spite Of its minute
dimensions--1 millimeter by 90 MILL.
meter-the eye of this little creature
possesses all the necessary properties
for seeing that the most highly de-
veloped eye does that it is, indeed, as
we'll suited for seeing as the eyes Of any
mammal, and that in the matter Of re-
fraction it does not differ from The
normal eyes In order to bear out the
theory OF short-sightedness, the physio-
log .cal reason was adduced that in its
subterranean runs the mole is accus-
toned to see things at close distances,
and that it's eye had become gradually
suited to near objects. But to this Hess
objects that the mole, when under
ground. most probably makes no use of
his eyes at all, as it would be impos-
sible to see any thing, owing to the
absence of lights uSthat when he comes
to the surface, and especially when he
is swimming, no does use his eyes. In
order to accomplish this, he only has to
alter tho erect position OF the hairs
which surround and cover his eyes, and
which prevent the entry OF dirt when he
is under ground, and at the same time
to protrude his eyes forward. Mature.

and these render necessary the division
OF the farm into fields. For cheapness
and durability barb wire stands at the
head with farmers generally, but some
losses and injury to animals have been
sustained by not rendering these fences
distinctly visible barriers. This is
easily effected by blowing five-furrow
ditch on each side, and banking up the
earth into ridge under the wires.

There are several kinds of smiles.
The one we speak OF now is the brand
which cheers but does not inebriate.
Miss Arabella Dusenbury was accus-

High authority tells us that it is not
good for man to be alone, but 1t says
nothing about women, the inference,
thercfores'is that it is better for women
to be alone than for man.
Atall events, Arabella came not alone.
She brought with her an air of con-

nature of this loosened subsoil when
the work has. been inefficiently per-
formed or at the wrong time. With all
these chances for subsoiling to be super

Of little or no benefit.
The defects in draining, as often prac-
ticed, are insufficient depth Of the
bitches, defective underground channels
for the escape of the water, and badly
laid-out lines for a regular descent The
draining itself of the surplus water can
not do otherwise than benefit the land,
by conveying away the water which the
soil itself can not hold, and leaving be-
hind all that is required for vegetable
growth. The only harm, therefore, in
cutting drains where they are not
wanted, is the useless waste of labor. 8.
