Machine-M Music.

Harp-playing by machinerv is one oil
The latest novelties. The harp is ar
ranged so that the plane of its strings is
horizontal, the instrument lying on the
table, utter the fashion of a either.
Then, as regards the written music, the
notation of the traditional stave has
been abandoned, and sheets upon which
are imprinted mysterious groups of num-
bers are used in its stead. When one of
these sheets is slid into a frame made for
the purpose the meaning of the figures is
interpreted.
Each of them falls under a string OF
the instrument, and by picking at them
in numerical order with a beyelled pen
Gil of ivory the operator produces a tune.
Time and phras1ng are indicated by the
spacing and alignment of the numbers,
nor are the requirements of harmony
forgotten.
When the melody of the air is adj
judged insufficient one of the figures is
accompanied by a letter, indicating that
a button attached to the instrument, and
bearing the same symbol, should be at
this ju%neture pressed. This action, By
bringing a small saw of ivory points into
play, produces a cord suitable to the oc.
casion.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The President of fTexico.

Poriirio Diaz, the man who makes his
home at Chapaltepee, is rather disap-
pointing when one from the North gets
the first sight Of him. While the palace
is undergoing repairs at an enormous
cost he makes his home In the palace,
near the heart of the city. It is a plain
building outside, looking much as the
other houses do, but on the inside it is
magnificently furnished. Diaz is an Az
tee Indian of the pure blood. He is a
short man, with black hair, eyes and
mustache. He speaks but little English,
and never attempts it in the presence of
one from the States. He wears a Prince
Albert in every day life, with a stand
ing collar and broad, fiat tie. He was
born il 1850. From the time he reached
manhood he was engaged in fighting his
way to the highest position IN the re-
public.
Twice he flew to New Orleans for
safety, once returning to Vera Cruz in
the guise of d coal HEAVIER. He won his
greatest honors at Puebla, when with
1000 men he defeated his opposition and
seized the Presidents chair. The last
election resulted in his favor by $4,000
votes. There are no political parties In
Mexico. When the day Of election came
Diaz had his soldiers at the polls and not
4 vote out OF 10, 000, 600 population was
cast against him, There was no other
candidate TO vote for. One Of the first
great acts Of this man was to free the
country of the bandits. They were so
numerous and daring that no one was
safe. They would rush into the city,
| seize d prominent citizen and carry him
awav to the mountain for ransom with
out a finger being RAISED against them.
But Dlaz stopped this. He made a
contract with the bandits that they
should have good pay serving the Gov
rrnmenf and their crimes forgotten IL
they would leave their life in the mounts
aims. They can be seen every day on
| the paseo, where they stand guard. They
are mounted on fine horses, splendidly
equipped with carbines and sabres, and
III tie most courageous soldiers IN the
world. Any number Of thieves may raid
/ bank il the City of Mexico and escape
to the mountains. Give them three days
start and put these bloodhound soldiers
on their trail and not d will get out OF
TIE republic. The band knows every
inch Of the ground under the Mexican
SUM-: They are faithful to Diaz.-NeW

WHEN THE MILK IS FIR ron USE.

IA variety of opinions and notions are
entertained regarding the use of the milk
for culinary purposes, or for drinking
that from the newly-calYed cows, says
the Indiana Farmer. No established
rule seems to be ia force, and the interval
between calving and using theIfilk varies
from three milkings to nine days, each
dairyman having q theory OF his own to
determine the time required before the
milk is ax,ood.n Ga account of these
ideas, and in the absence Of positive
proof, and the knowledge Of how to do
II, d great deal Of profitable milk il
sacrificed or thrown away under the sup
position that it is not healthy and is IN
lifted for human food. A simple way
to settle the question and dispel all
doubts is to place a small quantity OF
milk ii d vessel upon the stove, allow it
to come to q boil, and II no appearances
Of curdIing is present, the milk is all
right. Heat at boiling point produces
the change that makes visible to the eye
the condition when 1t is proper to use
the milk, and In no other way--except
bY the more difficult process Of analysts,
Of bv guess-can this be ascertained. It
will be found generally if no other con
ditions are normal, and the milk is from
4 COW III perfect health-that curdlings
under the treatment described, will dis
appear after the third or fourth milking
from the time the calf was dropped, and

EFFECTS oE Frost ON pLANTs.

Frost kills or Injuries plants In more
ways than one, writes Carol Floss. In my
observation, especially of tender plants,
have found that the effects of frost
vary IN proportion to their more or less
Watery nature and to the condition in
regard to moisture overhead and at the
roots in which they may happen to be at
the time when they get frozen. Some.
plants will bear cold to an almost in
credible extent, provided water is with
held. On this point / am sustained by a
well-knowI English Authority, who tells
of having seen large Examples of Agave
Americana that haveSstood in pots for a
whole year OF more without water until
their leaves became shrivelled, bear as
much Frost without being affected as,
would have killed them had they been
plump and full of moisture. The harder
kinds of Echeyeria are IN like manner in
different to a considerable amount Of
cold when their roots and tops ATE quite
dry. 4
But this condition of dryness may
easily be pushed too far in tae case OF
some kinds of plants, especially such as
are grown in pots and which If the soil
has been allowed to get SO dry that they
are in a stagnant, feeble state, are often
killed by cold, when ii the roots had
been in a more moist condition little in
jury would have resulted. This applies
more particularly to plants of q noa-suc-
cu!ent character, such as ferns and many
greenhouse species that contain Il large
proportion of fibre in their branches and
stems. Shrubby Calceoiarias growing in
pots, with the soil in a moderately moist
state, suffer little when caught by frost
that would have killed them had they
been in soil too dry to keep the leaves
crisp aud plump. The Lemon Verbena
will bear several degrees of frost when
the soil is IN a half moist state, but if
dry when frozen it rarely RECEIVERS,
Numbers of other plants might be
named that are very susceptible to injury
from frost vi pa the soil in which their
roots are plated is too dry, thus showing
that although tnany plants will bear a
low temperature when the soil about
their roots is quite dry, there are others
to which the principle does not apply.
So far from being able to stand more
| frost when their energies are stagnated
from want of water they suffer in pro-
| portion to the extent to which their dry
ing process has been carried.--NeW
York World.

Parting fi,e Hair in the Middle,

The number of men who part their
hair in the middle is increasing every
day. The fashion has grown in the mat
Ter of dressing hair so rapidly that it
would not be out of the way to say that
fully one-half the men who formerly de-
rided this once much-condemned fashion
are gradually getting around to it.
ssThey begin 7 said q well known bar
Der yesterday. ssby parting the hair .
little higher up on the head BY degrees,
until they finally get it exactly IN the
centre. I remember very well when 1t
was a very rare thing for 4 man to part
his hair directly over his nose, but all Of
the contempt and fun which such q
proceeding evoked are now replaced By
indifference as far as the public is con-
cerned. Twenty years ago a politician
who parted his hair in the middle
courted disaster at the polls. Now no
end Of statesmen, prominent Or other
wise, wear their hair IN Il daudihed lash
ion and it does not ever. call for q re-
mark. The only thing tnas the rank
and file s.renuously and positively object
to is q masculine bang. They won

IS TAR PAPER INJuRroUs2

Edwin Fox, Eaton County, Mich,
desires information whether tar felt APP
piled to the stem of apple trees, as a
protection against rabbits, will prove in
furious. For many years we have used
the ordinary tarred building and roofing
paper and felt for wrapping the stems Of
apple, ounce and peach trees TO protect
them against the attacks of borers, but,
up to the present hour, we have never
discovered that the bark under these
wrappings vas injured by the tar. We
renew these wrappings every two years,
and on removing the old ones have
always found the bark clean aud
healthy. We have, however, known
healthy trees killed by applying fresh
warm coal tar direct to the stems and
bark. and probably made PAPER or felt,
with the tar dripping from it, might
prove injurious, but no dry paper, or one
well cured, a possibly injure your
trees, and it viii prevent the rabbits
from gnawing the bark.-American

FARN AND GARDEN NOTES.

Breed up instead of down.
The breeding stock for next year can
be mated up now.
Make the hens scratch for at least part
of what they get; they will be the
healthier.
Ground oats aud bran can be used to
good advantage in making up a ration
for poultry.
Vegetables cooked in some form can
always be used in making a change of
diet for the fowls.
Never ship an egg that is in any a
ner soilea. The appearance is a prime
factor In the sale of any article.
Kerosene is one of the best materials
to apply in the hen roosts to clear them
Of lice; apply il literally with a brush.
IN nearly all cases a combination Of
early chickens for market with Eggs in
season will pay better than either one
alone.
Near a good market ducks can often
be made more profitable than chickens,
especially when an incubator is used in
Matching.
To produce q large market fo Sl, one
that fattens readily and is easily con-
fned, cross a Brahma cock with partridge

MANAeEMENr on RoAps IN WINTER.

The breaking of roads in deep snow
Is best done by drawing a heavy roller
over the snow. This packs down the
snow and makes a hard surface, on which
horses and sleds may run without sink
ing, and the packing down in this way
avoids the inconvenience of piiing up on
each side of the road and running in a
gulley, as is done when the roads are
worked out with a snow plow. The
roller should be ten feet long ard six
feet in diameter, and made in sections of
Eve feet, SO as to be turned with ease.
The rollers are covered by a frame hav-
ing a seat for the driver and assistants
and for the tools that may be needed in
any emergency, such Us shoyels, blankets
for the horses aud for the men, if the
weather becomes very cold. At suitable
distances turnouts should be made, where
teams may pass each other, and these
should be within sight Of each other, SO
chat a meeting may not be made in a
narrow place. Where the travel is suf-
icient to require it, a double road should
be made.-New York Times.

TO UTILIZE A DRY DITCH.

A very useful thing for a farmer to
know is how to utilize a dry ditch, and
in California they have an excellent wav
of doing it. After the water is turned
out in carly summer, instead of allowing
the banks to become a swamp Of weeds.
to his detriment and the undoinp
OF those below, the farmer plows the
banks and the bottoms of the ditch and
plants pumpkins therein. Surprising
his ditch runs, say, for three-quarters Of
a mile, he raises from City to 100 wa ron
loads OF pumpkins Of the largest kind.
After they are gathered in the fall and
the vines are dry he dumps them into
ditch and sets fire to them. The result
is a ditch as clean as a garden-waIk,
and no weed seed to be spread over
thousands Of acres as soon as the water
is turned in, to say nothing of the bal.
ance to the good in a large and valuable
crop at a comparatively light expense

TIE FARM AND Il d
oVERFEEDING SHEEP AND LANES,

Sheep have strong digestive organs in
that they do not need grain to be ground
Tor them. Yet no domestic animal is
more easily cloyed. The danger of
overlooking is one always to be most
closely guarded against. It is much
better to give a little under what the
sheep will eat than to give an ounce
over. Lambs have still weaker diges-
ton than sheep, and require more care
against overlooking. Yet if never oyer
fed they will make larger gain from the
same amount of food than with older
sheep.-Boston C~ultiyator.o o
