A boy with two stomachs has recently
been produced at Dundee, in Scotland,
and his inventor has the effrontery to
describe him as an improved style of
boy. The improved boy OF Dundee is
not only the most unca!led for boy now
living, but he is a peculiarly atrocious
example of the very worst type of OBJ
jectionable inventions. There is moth
ing more evident even to the most super
fetal observer than that the ordinary boy
has disproportionate quantity of
stomach. 1t has been calculated by Sun
day school Superintendents with much
experience in point of picnics, the small
boy between the ages of ten and thifteen
can devour, at a single picnic, thirty-two
pints of ice cream, eleven oubit feet OF
cake, seventeen and half pounds of
candy. and practically unlimited guam
tity of peanuts. In the domestic circle
the immense quantity of food which the
small boy can consume is source OF
constant anxiety to affectionate parents.
How much jam can be put into one boy
has never yet been ascertained. Sir
Isaac Newton tried to test the matter by
experimenting upon borrowed boy; but
he tells us that, after consuming thirty
seven pots Of jams -the size Of which he.
strangely, forgot to mention--the boy
calmly remarked that he was READY to
begin to prepare for to eat that there

no doubt that, next to his pocket. the

capacious Of his organs, and the criminal
folly of doubling bis stomachic capacity
must be evident to the most obtuse
mind. Many an honest and industrious
man has been ruined by the ill-judged
present OF a pair of twlns--a gift de-
scribed in the old Greek legend as the
box OF Pandora. One boy with two
stomachs will be fully as dangerous as

WAsMNGToN, May 27.-The sailing
vessel Saratoga, recently put in commits

receiving on board boys to be trained for

Boston, where she will 60 into dock to
have her hull cleaned, after which she
will cruise along the eastern coast until
October next, and then go to Port Royal,
S. c., to spend the winter. She will
have on board about one hundred and
twenty-five boys who will go through
the usual course of training for one year,
and then be assigned to men-of-war of
the several naval stations. About seven
hundred boys have been enlisted in the
service since this system was first inau-
gurated two years since, and it has been
found to work advantageously in every
way. Three hundred and fifty-six of
these boys are now ON training ships an
the others having gone through the course
of instruction for one year have been as
signed to various men-of-war in commits
sion. Commander Schley, in command
of the new sloop Essex, now attached to
the North Atlantic station, has number
of these trained boys in his crew, and in
private letter to an officer of the navy
he speaks very highly of their conduct
and efficiency. During his recent trip
from Vera Cruz to Key West he encoun-
tered severe easterly gales in the Gulf OF
Mexico and terrific seas, but he declares
himself much pleased with the stallnch-
ness Of his vessel and the efficiency OF
his crew. He says 'the vessel was Sc
verely and thoroughly tested in all that
we look for and admire in our floating
homes. She is fast and easy under can
vas, is buoyant as cork, and works like
a charm" He has rated several of his
lads up to ordinary seamen, and believes
that with three or four months expert
ence they will be eligible for the grade
of seamen.

grain to keep it growing rapidly and
have it ready for the knife when grass
ceases to grow. If we take all the hogs

HE temperyure OF cream or mix
for churning is of vast Importance,
both for the production of good butter
and the time required to bring it. The
operation of churning generally raises
tie temperature of the cream three to
five degrees. therefore it is better to
have it at a low temperature when the
ehurning is commenced, especially IN
warm weather, when the temperature
outside is high; on the other hand when
the outside temperature is low, then
it will do to have the temperature OF
the cream higher at the commencement
of ehurning. Fifty-eight degrees to
sixty-four degrees is about the right
temperature for churning under all cir
cumstances. If it is below fifty-eight
