How Laws Arc Made in France.

The process of legislation in the
French Chambers is very simple.
Each Chamber may initiate legislation
upon any subject except the finances
and bill upon any subject whatso-
over must be passed in all its pnrts by
majority vote in both Chambers in
order to become law. This is not
only necessary, but it is also suffi-
cient: j. e., the President of the Re-
public has no veto power upon tho
Legislation of the Chambers. The
Constitution provides period of
thirty days between the passage of tho
law by the Chambers and its necessary
PRONUNCIATION by the President of the
Republic, and reduces this period to
three dnysin case the Chambers should
vote that PRONUNCIATION is urgent.
Within these respective periods the
President of tho Republic may de-
mand of the Chambers reconsidera-
ton of the measure, and they are re-
quired by the Constitution to accord
tho request. If they repass the meas-
ure by majority vote, the President
must yield and promulgate the law.
The Chambers can also initiate the
call of the National Assembly for the
purpose of amending or revising the
Constitution. The chiof question
which has arisen in the exercise of
this power is whether the Chambers
can limit the action of the National
Assembly by their agreement before
hand upon the subjects in regard to
which the Constitution may be
amended or revised. The Affirmative
visw of this question would be q secu-
rity to the lights and powers of the
smaller body, the Senate, since the
National Assembly is composed of the
members of the two Chambers in joint
assembly, but the more numerous
Deputies have espoused with great
unanimity the negative view; and it
must be recognized that they have
the logic of the matter with them.
The National Assembly is the sover-
eign power in the Constitution and
cannot be limited, therefore, by n
branch of the Government, or even by
the whole Government, in its action.
The National Assembly may consider
any subject it will when once it is or
ganized. The Chambers in Joint as
sembly also elect the President of the
Republic. The Chautauquan.

of trifling omissions, forgetfulnesses,

Perpetual Motion.

The idea that perpetual motion may
be realized, or that a machine may be
made to run itself until worn out, is
one of the most fascinating and per-
sistent fallncies that has ever gained
hold upon the human mind. Most of
the machines of this kind have existed
only in the imagination of tho invenia
tors, but some of the motors have
been actually built, and few of them
have been shown in operation. An
interesting example, recalled the other
day by President Henry Morton, of
the Stevens Institute of Technology,
is furnished by the once famous Read
hefer perpetual motion machine.
Large sums OF money were sunk in
this, ms in more recent schemes like
the "Kcely motor" and for the pur-
pose Of exposing tho fraud involved, o
small motor. was constructed about
eighty years ago by Isaiah Lukens, at
tho suggestion OF Nathan Sellers.
This is preserved in tho collection of
the franklin Institute ut Philadel-
phin. The model consists of hori-
zontal circular table on pivoted YER
ticnl shaft, with two inclined planes
mounted ON wheels on the table and q
car containing two removable weights
on each inclinod plane. Lovers at
tached to the inclined planes and tho
cars are supposed to transmit to the
central shaft the tendencies of the in
clined planes to run from under the
cars and of the cars to run down the
inclined planes, and these tendencies
are supposed to rotate the central
shaft. The arrangement ls admirably
simple in more senses than one, but,
wonderful to relate, it seems to work.
Tho machine stops when the weights
IRE removed from the car, but. starts
whom they are replaced, and under fa-l
vornble circumstances may run indef-
initely. This startling phenomenon
tends to shake tho novice's faith in the
conservation of energy. Close inves-
tigation, however, reveals the fnot
that tho base of the machine hides
train OF clockwork, whose springs can
be wound through one of tho orna-
mental knobs of the models glass
case. This clockwork drives the plate
on which tho central vertical shaft is
pivoted, and the frictions are so NIL
iusted that when the cars nre loaded
the turning pinto will drive tho shalt,
but without the weights in the cars the
friction is nsullicicnt.-Trenton (N.

A Remarkable Small Farm.

An account appears in tho Mount
Jewett Herald of a man by the name
of Segling, who lives with his wife and
five children-three boys and two
girls-on what might be termed the
banner farm of Pennsylvania. The
farm is situated in Mexican County,
and is composed of two acres, aud
upon this the Seglins family mako
their livelihood. The gentleman is a
German, and bought the land, built
the cottage and made what other i'm
provements he thought necessary
while working at his trade, which is
that of n carpenter. From the start
OF his farming career his success seems
to have been phenomenal, as Mt tho
present time he is in condition to
market 30,0 stalks of celery-one-
third blanched and two-thirds of the
self blanching varieties. He does not
seem to fear competition, as he claims
the field is large and not nearly filed.
MIR. Segling finds work the year round,
and tho most Of his time is spent on
one-half an acre; for although the
farm only consists of two acres, but

being devoted to tho home garden.
Upon this half aero there has been de-
posted this year $50 one-horse loads
of manure, and principally upon this
manner of keeping up the high fer
tility of the soil does his success de-
pend. During the last two seasons
he has been troubled with drouth, and
that he may be prepared for it in the
future he has purchased fifteen horse
power boiler and steam pump, and
should the season be dry he can then
be able to create shower whenever
he cares to by using the water from
the Allegheny River, which he has at
his command. Mr.. Segling does not
claim to be getting rich, but simply
to be making living for himself and
family and slowly becoming inderend.

IMPROVE THE FARM r1ocK

There is good way, n quick way.
and n Cheap one to improve the farm
flock if action is t,ken in season.
taken now, just Mt the opening Of the
year, and before the mating AMI breed
ing season has fuirly set in.
BY tho farm flock we mean the
family flock of fowls, as ordinarily
seen on the farms of the great Western
aud Southern States.
We take it. that any man Tonld be
glad to improve his condition fifty per
cent. in one season, if it could be done
without too much outlay of cash, or
too much effort on his part. We can
not advise how to elevate tho sur
rounding conditions of any one to that
extent, just now; but we can point
out the way to improve the chickens
on the premises without much trouble
or expense.
The first move we should make
would be to dispose of ell mongrcl
roosters about and all the inferior
hens. Then we should select about a
dozen of the best hens, and buy first
class Brown Leghorn rooster-one
that is simon pure in blood and mark
ings, and mate him with the select
hens. 1t would not matter much, II
lie should be mlsmarkod in plumage,
but he should be pure Leghorn
nevertheless, in order to get the valu-
able characteristics of the true Leg
horns-their great laying qualities,
established to great extent in the
chickens from the mating suggested.
In mating fowls we should bear in
mind that the male bird is one-half of
the mating, and the mating will be
just one-half Leghorn, if a Leghorn
cock be used. That would be the re.
suit of mating the pure Leghorn with
the common hens, oil the chickens

Where Wolves Abound.

The wolf question has again become
80 serious to stoclsmen having herds
in the northwestern portion OF South
Dakota that NIL sorts of measures are
being discussed for their extermina-
ton. The Hamilton boys. who have
largo herds of cattle in the Cave Hill
region, have tried poisoning, but with
little success. They now propose to
resort to dogs, and tho experiment
will be watched with interest by other
stockmcn having herdsin that section.
Last fall the Hamiltons took four
greyhounds out to their ranch and
have also sent to West Virginia for
four trail hounds, which are expected
to arrive shortly. These are cross
between the blood and fox hounds,
and make excellent trailers. Union
their arrival desperate attempt will
be made to exterminate the wolves.

WHAT CORN FODDER Is.

Tho c9mmon terms, corn fodder and
E;t.oover, Aave different Specifications in
|aiiiherentA localities. The whole stalks
'eiter theS corn has been husked and
gather ed are called slower in New Eng.
land, whence tho term has been car
ried into the West. Tho meaning of
this term in common language, is any
supply of food, but agriculturally it is
applied to provisions for animals OF
any kind: 1t is used in England to
signify any coarse forage, rs the stubble
OF a clover field or waste hay that is
used for thntching roofs of cattle shell
tiers. 1t is used in this sense by
SHAKESPEARE. The word is derived from
the French -estover or cstovoir, mean
ing simply any provision. Corn fod-
der or fodder corn is applied to tho
whole plant with tho ears on. In the
South it applies only to the leaves or
blades of the plant; the stalks, there
usually cut off above the ears, which
are left on the stems, to be afterward
gathered Mt any convenient time, are
called tops. In general, however,
corn fodder is understood to mean
tho whole stalks after the cars have
been gathered from them. American

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
FEEDING POULTRY AT NIGHT.

The heaviest feed for poultry or
other animals should lie at night.
Sleep favors digestion and keeping the
stomach full is tho best protection
against cold. If any corn is given it
should be at night. 1t will be all the
better ii warmed and some of it is

times ice cold, has to be warmed be-

RENTING A FARM.

There is no doubt that n farm af.
fords the safest means of living of oil
employments, and if one has not the
means opurchase tho land .there arc
abundant opportunities to get one by
renting. There is better chance to
do this in the East than in the West.
on account of the better markets nf.
forded by the moro numerous large
towns and cities and the denser nom i.
lation. The safest way is to rent on
shares, as it is called, paying a share
OF the produce to the owner, and thus
dividing the risk of the seasons. A
good way to find suitable farm is
to advertise in local newspaper
where one desires to live, and state
what is desired. If the dairy bust
ness is understood, this is the most
promising, and next the small fruit
business. A good stock of poultry
will help greatly to make profit, and
tho most profitable selling crop for
general farming is potatoes, which,
with hay, bring the best prices with
the past labor and cost. It is true
thaHhere are many farms in the West

condition, having been given up by
