a cup which will contain liquid food
and keep it hot so that the patient may
not have to wait an instant ia swal-
low of beef tea or broth. Which is con-
sidered almost preventive Of sickness
if taken when the first qunlms attack
the traveller. The difficulty is to get the
broth perfectly hot When it is half
warm, it only increases the nausea,
and the most attentive stewards cannot
wait on numberless passengers and
serve each cue with food at the exact
moment when it is needed Thus the
electric stove becomes boon to all who
would avoid the approach of seasickness.

He Was Book Mad.

In the history Of the world only a
few bibliotaphs have existed. The bib
liotaph, in contrast to the bibliophile,
who loves books, and the bibliomaniac,
who is possessed by an unrestrained
passion for them, is one who delights
in buying and storing them as squirrels
mice and ground animals store things
against the imaginary needs of future
day.
Bishop Heber was the most distin-
guished of bibliotaphs. He was rich,
and he bought books by the tens of
thousands He would hold as foolish
ness that saying of the Greeks which
exhorts one to do nothing too much.
According to Hebers theory, it was
impossible to have too many books. He
had library in his house at Hodnet
His residence in Pimlico, where he died,
was filed, like Maglia becchi's at Flor
ence, with books from the top to the
bottom. Every chair, every table, every
passage contained piles of erudition
He had house in York street, London,
filed with books. He had library at
Oxford, one at Antwerp, one at Brus-
GELS md one at Client. The most accu-
rate estimate of his collections places
the total at 146. 927 volumes, which
cost bin $500, 600. After his death the
catalogue of his Accommodations was
published in three parts, and the sales

great many defective ones destroyed
every year. Notwithstanding the fact
that the government now issues annu-

900 stamps, valued at about $40, O0O,-
900, one man manages to inspect each
one of them, casting aside the ones that
have flaws of any description, either in
cumming, printing or perforating.
Stamp experts being scarce, this one.
colored man of the name of John F.
Green, who was employed by Cleve-
land, has been employed by the present
administration, being known as Unit
ed States postage stamp agent. Besides
his duties as an inspector, in which he
has to see also that the contract be-
tween the government and the bureau
of printing and engraving is exactly
fulfilled in point of color, quality Of pa
per, etc, he has charge of the stamps
stored in the government vault and
must see that there is reserve sutfi-
Gent to meet all emergencies.
One billion stamps were supplied the
government from this reserve at the
time the war revenues were put into
effect and with slight change were
made to do service as special tax stamps
and help the country out of business
blockade. The discarded stamps, which
are large percentage of those printed,
are counted and burned in the presence
of committee of government officials,
of which Mr.. Green is one, and the de-
struction formally certified to the gov
eminent.
The stamp business is increasing
yearly. There were on hand at the last
count 800, 1876, $40 stamps of different
denominations for distribution among
the $4,000 postcffices of the United
States. Some of the postoffices order
very few stamps, while from towns like
Chicago there come orders at times for
as many as 5000. 600 l cent and 49,
600, COO 2 cent stamps in one order;
value of this $3.50, O00 Not bad thing
for Uncle Sam, but necessitating over

CuItivatinr Late Cabbage.

Through the fall until Halloween
late cabbage makes its best growth,
and it should be given good attention

impossible to cultivate cabbage too
much and almost impossible to feed 1t
too much. 1t is rank feeder, and If
fine manure Is put around the stalks
and worked into the soil it will help
the cabbage heads to grow big and
tender Keep the ground well worked,
and even If there is not a weed to be
seen it should be hoed as often as pos
sible. Hoe the soil to the stalk just
a little each time, so as to keep the
roots cool and moist, and as the cool
nights come the heads will begin to
I'LL out and by the time they are ready
to pull will be hard, sweet, white and

JUNE GRASS.

Recommended For New England
Pastures-Heavy Seeding.
Seeing an inquiry in western paper
in regard to the desirability of sowing
Kentucky blue grass upon pasture land
reminds The American CultiYator that
not only those making the inquiry, but
many farmers In New England, would
find an advantage In doing so If they
did not feed the field too hard in the
spring. The Cultivator says: This
grass, known to many here by the
name of June grass, or botanically as
Poa pratensis, is one Of the best pas
ture grasses, not only making a thick
and heavy sod and standing drought
better than most others, but also one
of the. earliest grasses to start and fur
nish good pasture in the spring. In
this Hes the danger if it is sown on old
pastures. 1t looks so green that the
first year the farmer is apt to turn his
cattle upon it before it is well rooted,
and it is pulled up rather than bitten
or gnawed so closely that the roots die
before other grass comes to protect it.
Scratch the old pasture over with a
sharp toothed harrow or score it with
the disk harrow and SOW from one to
three bushels of seed to the acre or one
bushel Of that and one Of redtop and
keep the stock off until they have made
fair growth and the wild grasses
have begun to grow, and the next year
they can be fed much earlier, having
rooted well, and there will be good
permanent pasture. Of course top
dressing of the pasture SO treated with
fine manure or good fertilizer like
bone and potash or wood ashes would
be an Improvement if one had the
means, but even without that the pas
ture would nearly double in feeding
capacity.
June grass makes good, fine hay il
cut early, but its yield when alone is
not enough to make 1t profitable
grass, and, though often sown with
clover and orchard grass. it is at its
best for hay even before they are, yet
If we were sowing them we would add
bushel of June grass or Kentucky
blue grass to the seed. If to the bushei
each Of redtop and blue grass were
added one peck each of perennial rye
grass and tall oat grass and five pounds
sweet vernal grass, it would make al
most an ideal pasture, good enough for
a lawn. In fact, this would make a
good lawn grass, to which we would
add nothing more but five pounds or
more of white clover.
Some may consider the above too
heavy seeding for pasture or lawn. but
we believe In heavy seeding for both,
and those who think it too much or too
expensive can reduce the amounts.

Quantities OF m6Fchandise and hard
ware. The losses which bad roads In
fict are felt by every industrial inter-
est in the United States.
The improvement OF our highways
would be variously profitable. Now
farmers lose many days In the year
waiting for good weather and dry
roads, but the support Of the men and
animals Is as expensive when they are
idle as when they are engaged in
lucrative work With good roads the
farmers need never lose any time. In
wet weather, when they could not
work on the land, they could carry
their products to market. No rains
would compel them to spend valuable
time In idleness.
1t takes much longer time and re-
quires far greater tractiye force to
haul loads over bad roads than it
would to draw heavy loads over good
roads. The unnecessary strains to
which bad roads subject teams, har-
nesses and wagons are very wearing.
Rough usage seriously injuries the
farmers equipment. Improved high
ways would prevent avoidable depre-
citation of property and increase the
gains Of producers.
1t is hardly worth while to build
few good highways. Systems of roads
should be improved at the same time.
A draft wagon, light enough to be used
on muddy roads, could not avail itself
of the full advantage of a rock road.
The wagons used on hard roads weigh
from $500 to 5000 pounds, and they
carry loads of three or four TONS Such
wagons could not be employed on soft
roads. They would sink into the mud
and require as much force to move
them as it would to haul their heaviest
freight on gravel road. Common and
improved roads cannot be proftab1y
combined. What is fit for the one is not
suited for the other. Therefore the
main and tributary highways of any
district should all be constructed at
once.
