FIRING AN OCEAN STEAMER.
Something About rie Labor Performed
by Stoker.

A Scottish contemporary thus de-
scribes the firing service on board an
ocean greyhound: On the City of Paris
there are sixty firemen, who feed the
fiery maws of fifty-four furnaces, that
create steam in nine boilers. Fifty coal
passers shovel the fuel from the bunk
ers to the furnace door, and the firemen
toss it in. There is something more
than mere shoveling in firing. The
stoker must know how to put the Goals
on SO they will not burn too quickly nor
deaden the fire. He must know how to
stir or poke the fire SO as to get all, or
nearly ALL the heat out of the coal.
Service in the fire room is divided into
six watches of four hours each. The
fireman works and sleeps alternate four
hours. After the first day from port
two out of every six furnaces are raked
out to the bare bars during the first hour
of each watch. Thus, in voyage, all
the furnaces are cleaned once in twenty
four hours. The steam goes down bit
in the hour while the cleaning is going
on. The stolers shovel into the fur
naces fifteen tons of coal every hour, or
three hundred tons a day. The ship
usually takes in two thousand tons at
Liverpool or New York, and has be-
tween five hundred and eight hundred
tons left when she arrives at the other
side. The engineers department is en-
tirely distinct and separate from the
firemen's. In the City of Paris there
are twenty-six engineers, including
hydraulic and electrical. They are edu-
Gated in engine shops on shore, and
certain number of them go on ships
every year. They are all machinists, so
whenever the machinery breaks down
they know how to repair the damage.
In case the chief engineer should be dis
abled any assistant could take his place.

DOGS ON MONEY.
The CANNES of Different Nations S

The CANNES of Different Nations Shown
on Their Coins.
There is an important group of about
forty coins containing outlines of dogs,
which deserve careful study. The in
terest of some of them, says Chambers
Journal, is mainly mythical, as with
Lelaps, the hound of Acteon, presented
to Cephalos by Procris; or with the dog
of Segeste, which symbolized the river
Crimisus. But there are enough to show
how extensive were the operations of
the dog fancier in early times. The
coins afford no evidence of the develop
ment of n spaniel, there being no ex-
ample of pendulous ear, or of a mas
tiff, though bulldogs were undoubtedly
known in the arenas of imperial Rome.
But they prove conclusively-what is
shown, indeed, by the less artistic
products of Egyptian pictography-that
the ancients had four kinds of dogs-the
wolf dog, the hound, the greyhound aud
the terrier. The Umbrians had their
wolf hounds, the Apulians, of Asculum,
their grayhounds, the more rugged
hunters of the Tuscan forests their fox
dogs. The favorite dog of Artemis
Laphria, as on coins of Patre and
Sparta, was a greyhound, while Act
@ons dogs must have been half-breed
deerhounds. Rhegium, if the coins may
be trusted, had his sheep dogs; the
Macedonian city of Monde its terriers,
and Cume. just above the bay of Naples,
to which all the luxuuies of the ancient
world were brought, its poodles.
Further pursuit of this line of inquiry
would probably throw some useful
light upon the direction of canine do
mestication.

TEMPERATURE OF CREAM.


why 1t should BE Kept Neither Too Hot
Nor Too Cold.
Milk kept SO cold that it cannot sour
will still in time become bitter, says
tho Creamery Journal, and milk heated
to sterilize it seems to acquire a bitter
taste after cooling, before it becomes
acid. In fact, tho presence OF bacteria
which attack the sugar and change it
to Tactic acid seem, by their action, TO
check the bacteria which make it bitter.
Heating milk to l4O or $50 kills the ac-
tive bacteria, but some germs seem to
resist this heat and In time reproduce
the bacteria Three heatings kill all
the germs and if none be allowed to get
into the milk from the outside it will
not sour. The line of safe action Is
narrowed down to controlling the
temperature of cream SO that it shall
not be kept so cold as to favor bitter
development. nor get SO hot as to in
jure the texture of the cream, to intro
duce the right kind of bacteria obtained
from pure. clean, skimmilk kept free
from noxious surroundings, and mix it
thoroughly and uniformly with the
cream that it may multiply equally in
all portions-that is, ''ripcn" the cream
uniformly, as every drop of properly
ripened cream contains several hundred
thousand separate bacteria which
double every hour or oftener. 1t il
easy to understand why particular care
is necessary to secure the right kind
and right stage of ripening, for if not
stopped at the proper time other bac-
terra cause decomposition

and did not wish to risk her delicate
health by going out in such storm.
Could Mr. Coleman oblige by calling at
a designated hour that afternoon? AT
the appointed time the clergyman pre-
sented himself at the one-story frame
shanty to which he had been directed.
1t appeared to contain only two rooms.
The first one-a combination of parlor
and kitchen-was flied by dusky
group of men and maidens, who, from a
perfect Babel, lapsed into the dumb
ness of curiosity when the minister en-
tered-the silence being broken
only by the occasional explosive
giggle of some young miss, fol-
lowed by the sudden sympathetic
litter of the assembly sdeanwhile all
eyes were steadily fixed on the clergy
man, who was thus compelled
to endure certain of the sem
sations of the pillory while the
brides belated preparations were
going forward After considerable de-
lay the door of room number two
opened, and in flaming red dress, wear
ing enormous plated ear-pendants, the
duslly Diana made her appearance on
the arm of the bridegroom, whose time
had evidently been most lately occupied
in drying out his wardrobe and ADJUST
ing q, brilliant scarf to very large
shirt collar AS they took their places
in the center of the room the company
snickered immoderately, the bride
hung her head, and the bridegroom
carefully stroked his mustache with
his forefnger and thumb. The service
was impressively conducted, as was the
clergyman's wont, until he came to that
portion of it wherein he asked:
"Do you solemnly promise,
ETC., to take this woman to be your law
fully welded wife?"
"Ya-yasi" said the bridegroom But
as he uttered the word, alacl1, his mus
tache became detached from his lip and
fell on the floor at his feeti The guests
burst into roars of laughter. The men
held their sides and squirmed in contor-
tions of risibility, and the girls cho1ed
themselves with aprons and pocket
handkerchiefs. STOPPING, hastily, the
bridegroom picked up the mustache and
put it in his vest pocket, and the sur
prised mot to say perplexed) clergy
man, with the best grace he could COM
mand, went on with the ceremony.
At its conclusion the bri .egroom took
him aside and explained that the bride
had insisted on his wearing a mustache
to overcome his youthful appearance.
But de paste wah mean; 'twouldn't
stick" he added, ruefully. Continuing,
in a pathetic undertone, he said "Pse

unu BLACK Rot starts

Black rot in the grape is not so severe
pest in the north as in the south The
winter spores arc contained in little
pustules in the dried and shriveled re-
mains of the infected berries. The
berries drop to the ground, where the
alternating spores rest until spring and
are then loosened from the grape tissue
and blown upon the new green foliage.
Here they produce small oval brown
spots, not more than one-fourth inch in
diameter, where the pustules are
formed, which exude in jelly-like
masses, myriads of little round spores
which are washed down upon the young
yrape cluster where they grow and send
their threads into the pulp of the berry,
causing it to turn brown, then black,
and later to become covered with pus-
tules like those upon the leaves, which
later form winter spores and are ready

A Profitable Method OF Feeding Cows
whtfe In MlIk.

Whue la MILK.
There are many methods of feeding
COWS while in milk Some of our
writer's of late have disapproved of
using chopped bay and straw. but this
principally depends upon the way of
preparation. I fail to see why some OF
them should state that their cows milk
has become dried up. This is undoubt-
edly their own fault and probably
their cows had no access to any other
than chopped food can fully recon-
mend it as a proper method of feeding
milch cows Let it undergo the follow
ing treatment and can positively af-
firm that there will not be the slightest
danger of such an occurrence
Let the chaff consist of hay and
wheat straw (the upper part only; in
no case the butts. as they are of too
woody nature). Then take either
pulped mangels, cabbage or turnips
(but the latter is often injurious to the
butter), about one bushel of the pulps
to every four of the chaff and mix well
together, at least twelve hours before
using; then cover well up with barley
and it will be found that quantity of
perspiration has accumulated which,
if the ingredients are of the best quail
ty as they always should be, it will be
found to be most appetizing. Add to
each bushel of the mixture, when serv-
ing it, two pounds of wheat bran and
two pounds of bran meal well mixed;
three peclSs of this may be given twice
each day besides quantity of hay
This method will be found much more
beneficial than the system adopted by
many of giving the roots separate from
the meal and chaff especially for milch
cows.
Another method may be successfully
tried for the production of milk in the
shape of bran or middling mashes
given at one feeding time lin place of
roots) with portion of chaff mixed
with it, as sloppy food not only pro-
3uces but retains the supply of milk
and this may be used as a change of
diet-Ohio Farmer.
