INTO A MAN-HOLE.
The Novel Plan OF Suicide Adopted by q
Man In New York.

Man In New York.
II began to rain in torrents at about S;1a
o'clock one evening recently. and the few
pedestrians who were afoot in Third avenue
near Twenty-sixth street sought more sub
stantial shelter than their umbrellas at
forded. A number of the tenants of POI and
206 East Thirty-sixth street, who had been
lettering on the sidewalk, went under cover
of the dark Railways. Twice it was no
ticed that a short stout man walked out
into the street and stopped over the man-hOIe
in font of 200. Every movement could be
distinguished plainly by the electric light ON
he corner. Each time the man arose after
bending over the man-hole a moment and
marched back TO the storm shed which pro-
tectS the side entrance to Sweeuy's Hntel on
the southeast corner. The men chatting in
the deep shadows of the tenement house
Railways commented upon the occurrences,
but that was all.
Then Mrs. Kearns of 2i1 came out in the
storm and hurried along to the corner gro
Gerry. When she got almost opposite 200 the
man approached the man-hole the third
time. 1t was raining hard. He stopped
down and got grip on the heavy iron
cover. After one or two efforts be managed
to raise it. Then, Strengthening UP. he
glanced quickly about him. threw his hands
above his head. shouted, Here goes" in
loud voice and dived head-tirst down the
man-hole into the SEVERN. Y. special to

AN EXPERT ON TEA MAKING.

A tea expert says that pound of tea
will furnish 300 cups of liquor If it be
made properly, but that the maximum
benefits of the leaf, both in the matter
of quality and quantity, are seldom en-
joyed because OF the general ignorance
of what appears to be so simple process
as to require no cure, the method of
brewing. He says the tea leaves should
be put into earthen or agate ware pot
(never use metaN and stand on the back
of the stove until thoroughly warmed.
Then Kissing hot water which has been
freshly boiled should be poured in and
the pot should be placed at the back OF
the stove for ten minutes, where it will
keep hot but not boil. At the expira-
ton of that time the tea will be perfect,
but if it is desired to keep it so the liquor
must be poured eff into another vessel,so
as to separate it from the leaves, which
after while would give off an astringent
element. In serving, the cups and the
cream should be warm and the cream
should be put into the cups before the
tea. The public are told not to smile at
these simple instructions, but to try
them and see if they do not get new
light on the question of getting the most
out of o cup of tea Chicago M@s.

Ukase Cities.

When Peter the Great conscripted
twenty thousand peasants to carry gravel
in sacks to his building camp on the
Neva, the Muscovite wits referred to his
capital as the "Ukase city"-the town
built by order of the autocrat. That
cities really can thus be made to grow in
defiance of natures veto is proved by the
last census of Northern Europe. St.
Petersburg has doubled its population
since 1850; and Berlin, on the sand
fields of the Spree, now claims 1872
900 inhabitants. A few hundred years
ago the absence of sea harbors or large
rivers was fatal object to the COM
mercial development of city, but after
three or four railway lines have once been
finished to an arbitrary centre of popula-
tion their ramifi cations almost equal the
functions of the best system of water
ways. But though an imperial fiat
can remove many Typographical Difficult
ties, it cannot quite countervail the dis
advantages of climate; and even outside
of Southern Russia many politicians stick
to the belief that Peter the Great would
have done better to locate his metropolis
on the Shores of the Black Sea, where,
at more than one point, fine forest clad
mountains APPROACH good harbors of an
almost winter.ess coast.-BeJord.

Small Change.

Small change, sayst The London Graphic,
is evidently much appreciated in South
western France. A farmer in the Dauph.
my Alps recently sold some sucking
pigs for one hundred and fifteen francs,
and stipulated that he should be paid in
centimes. The buyer assented, treating
the demand as joke. When, later, te
offered to pay the money in ordinary
cash, however, the farmer held to his
bargain, and summoned the other before
a magistrate, who decided that the exact
terms of the agreement must be observed.
The purchaser, therefore, had to count
out eleven thousand five hundred single
centime pieces for his debt of one hun
dred and fifteen francs.-The Ledger.

cHCRNs A!;D cHCRNING.

OF all the different kinds of churns in
use in farmers houses, for email family
dairy, writes Mrs. W. II. Webster, give
the preference to the good old-fashioncd
dash churn. 1t is easily managed IN
every way, not hard TO work in churn-
ing, and takes up but very little room.
You can easily raise the lid and look in-
to it at any time to see how matters are
progressing, the butter is easily gathered
Ind taken out when it comes, and the
churn is easily cleaned afterwards. In
winter the mistake is often made of
keeping the cream so long that it be-
comes bitter before it is churne1. I like
to have the cream little bit sour, and
set it in a warm place long enough for it
TO taste slightly acid before I churn it,
but in cold climate it won't do to keep
It long enough to sour naturally, unless
one is willing to run the risk OF having
bitter taste in the butter. Butter that
comes in reasonable time will be much
better than that which is churncd for
hours, as is sometimes the case. This
delay in coming 1 believe is frequetly
caused BY keeping the cream where it is
hot and cold by turns, and also keeping
it too long. The churning should be
regular-not fast and then slow, and
should be kept up without long inter-
missions until it is done.-New York
World.

S2S0O on q COrpSe.

I heard lately Of a pathetic case of
loneliness which comes to a stranger in
a strange land, when suddenly deprived
of lifelong companion, under the most
painful circumstances of doubt and mys-
terry. The wife of Frenchman employed
as designer in one of our great tex
tile manufactures missed her husband,
upon whom she was dependent for sup
port. Weeks passed away, and as he
was known to have money on his person
it was feared he had met, as the report
ers say, with foul play. At last his body
was found floating near one of the briuges
on Charles River. Upon it was dscov-
cred S25OO which the Frenchman had
secreted in his clothing as safer place
than a savings bank or deposit vault,
and suspicious that he was murdered for
his money were abated by the discovery.
AS for the widow, she was a victim Of
conflicting emotions-of grief for the
loss of her husband, and of joy that he
had not left her penniless. She had re-
solved to remain in this country till he
was found dead or alive, but now she
means to 60 back to France and open a
little shop in Paris, where she has
frierds.-Boston Post.

GARAGE WITHOUT rRANspLANT1Ne.

There are two ways of raising cabbage
in the open ground. One is by trans
planting plants, the other by sowing the
seed in the hills or drills just where the
cabbage is to be grown. If the plants
have been started in hotbeds or cold
frames for an early crop or are to occupy
land as second crop, it is necessary
that they should be transplanted; but if
it is to be the one crop of the season on
the land it is to occupy, then it is the
belief of the farmers in the great cabbage
raising sections of New England that the
best plan is to plant the seed just where
the cabbage is to be grown. Experience
has taught US that by this plan the piece
natures more evenly than when the
plants are transplanted, while they are
certainly as reliable for heading, for
when 100 per cent. of the plants make
marketable heads-as have known in
stances-nothlng better can be asked.
Those who have been in the habit of
transplanting caulihowers will find they
will do decidedly better when the seeds
are planted in the hills where they are
to be matured. A plan now somewhat
common among market gardeners is to
drill the seed of cabbage sufficiently
thick that by cutting out the extra
plants with the hoe the remainder will
be left at the distance suitable. This re-
quires more seed. while it saves a good
deal of time and back breaking work.
The great defect in this manner of plant
ing has been that it left the seed too
thick, much thicker than was necessary
for the ends desired. In my planting in
the drill We used last season the Mathews
seed drill. My foreman made On in
genious change in its dropping capacity,
which is worth putting on record. He
removed the wheel which has about
twelve projections that as it revolves
keep the seed agitation in motion, and
boring four holes at e4ual intervals in
serted four projections on the opposite
side and then set back in place, but in
reversed position. The result was one
revolution caused the agitator to move
four times instead of twelve, and the
seed was fed just about as thick as
wanted. Very often little change or
improvement can be made in an implc-
ment by the farmer or gardener using it
that will add much to its value.-A
can Agrieulturist.

BETTER WAGONS WANTED.

"Dynamometer tests with wagons" :"
made by the Utah Experiment Station
(at Logan, indicate that there is ga de-
cided opportunity for Improvement Of
these vehicles in various ways, as set
forth in Bulletin No. 4, which, We pre-
sumo, would be forwarded to any appli-
cant specially interested in the subject.
The summary of conclusions, condensed
from nineteen pages of interesting data,
is as follows:
"When the load was placed over the
hind wheels it drew 10 per cent. easier
than when over the front wheels. 2.
The hind wheels drew 1873 per cent.
easier over an obstacle 3 in. high than
the front wheels. This was when attach
ment of the force was directly applied to
each set Of wheels. 5. The hind wheels,
when drawn over an obstacle by the usual
hitch, drew only IL per cent. easier than
the fore wheels. 4. When the ends Of
the wagon were reversed, and the draft
was applied directly to the hind wheels,
it drew nearly per cent. easier. 5. The
incline of the reach toward the front
wheels, as now put in, causes the wagon
to draw harder than it should. &. Lower
ing the reach or the point of application
Of force on the hind wheels materially
decreases the draft-therefore the reach
should run horizontally or on an upward
incline from the rear to the front wheels.
z. Higher front wheels will reduce draft.
8. The change of the angle of draft as
applied from the end of the pole varied
the draft very markedly, and the relation
Of the draft of the front to the rear
wheels. Q. A long hitch, or such hitch
as occurs when lead horses are used, in
creases draft on account of the angle of
the hitch. 10. Loose burrs with one
half or more inches play lessen the draft
of the load by 4.5 per cent. II. Little
difference was found between the draft
of three wagons. 10. Draft varied with
the varieties of grease used, from nothing
to II per cent.-lard proving the best OF
practically the same as manufactured
axle grease and but little better than
cylinder oil. Is. The draft of varying
roads and conditions of road varied very
markedly-being between the best and
the poorest classes of local roads, nearly
300 per cent. in difference. In this trial
neither the best nor the poorest roads
were available, OF only such as are found
in country towns. ."-Msu York Tribune.

FEEDING TURNIPs.

You cannot feed turnips to mich COWS
without affecting the flavor of the butter
and giving it turnipy taste. 1t will
make little or no difference whether the
turnips are fed before or after milking,
with or without salt, the scent of the
turnips will pass into the milk veins and
milk. Furthermore, if turnlps, cab
bages and similar strong-scented vege-
tables are cut up and fed to other animals
in the same barn or stable where mich
COWS are standing, the very air breathed
by the mich COWS will be laden with the
strong odor, and this will taint the milk.
Pure and fresh air is just as important
as pure and nearly inodorous food for
COWS in order that they should give the
bcs6 quality of milk for butter making.
There are, no doubt, COWS which are not
so susceptible to the effects of poor and
strongly scented food Us others, but they
are not, as rule, animals that give the
richest milk. american Agricu'turist.

WASHING NASH-STLKS.

Wash silks may be washed successfully,
although many dismal failures have made
it doubted. They must not certainly be
washed in the tub with other things. A
strong warm suds made with any white
soap comes first; the silk must be rubbed
very lightly; hot water, washing powers
and alkali soaps are fatal to the beauty
of wash silks. Thorough rinsing in
tepid water, followed by further rinsing
in cold water with little vinegar in 1t,
makes the wash silks as good as new.
With these directions for laundress, no
one need hesitate to follow where fancy
leads in chosing wash silks for blouses,
which will be worn more than ever next
summer.-Boston Transcript.

The British National Hymn

The original song, says the New York
Sun, was written when there was a king
in Great Britain, before 1743, perhaps
by Henry Carey. We give the present
song; in the original liking" is found
instead of "queen," and "him" and
sthis" instead of "her" and "hers":
God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious.
Long to reign over us
God save the Queenl
OLord, our God, arise!
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks;
On her our hopes we fix
God save the Queen!
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she regn.
May she defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice.
God save the Queen!
