The Chicago Times has received an
original poem on “The Burnt District
at Midnight.” The 102 d verse reads:
“The derrick stands still 'gainst the
half finished wall. The brick-piles are

row they'll rise, nine or ten stories tall,
in huge, massive structures —the worst

A gentleman did not always agree
with his wife, nor she with him. On

the spot; I'm willing.”
A friend says: Going to Cape May
the other day, I saw a young man lean
ing over the railing of the upper deck,
and with considerable violence giving
to the winds and the sea the contents
of his stomach. Just as this juncture
one of the boat officials, walking brisk
ly by, asked, in a patronizing manner,
“Sick, sir?” “You don't suppose I'm
doing this for fun, do you?” said the
poor fellow', indignantly, as soon as he
could recover his breath.

Just then a rifle hall struck his arm be
low the wrist. Slowly drawing it down,
and grasping it with the other hand to
restrain the blood, a queer expression
of pain and humor passed over his face,

charge ! ”
The Physiology of Tears.— Dr.
Daniel Tuke, says the British Medical
.Journal, who has been investigating
the physiology of tears, thinks we must
confess with Brodie that we can not
answer the simple question why or how
does a certain state of mind augment
the secretion of the gland ? . . . The
quality of the secretion seems to be
altered by powerful emotions; the saline
ingredients being increased, causing “a
strong brine.” Lastly, the secretion
may bo checked. The intensity of the
feeling or the suddenness of sorrow is
the most frequently witnessed cause.
Daily observalion shows that the first
result of distressing intelligence is the
negative one —inability to cry. See, too,
what the want of a handkerchief may
do. “ I went,” says Hunter, “to see
Mrs. Siddons acting. Ihad a full con
viction that I should be very much af
fected ; but, unfortunately I had not put
a handkerchief in my pocket; and the
distress I was in for the want of that
requisite when one is crying, and a kind
of fear I should cry, stopped up every
tear, and 1 was even ashamed I did pot
crv.”
IjtoEjnjiTY of Animals. —One of the
largest of ferocious animals in South
America is the jaguar—a native tiger—
/elis onca. Besides being large, and
immensely strong, it practices extraor
dinary strategic schemes in procuring
food, which indicate some thing above
mere instinct, because circumstances
are constantly requiring some variation
in their foraging expeditions for prey.
Humboldt says when they find a turtle
they adroitly turn it over on its back.
It is then helpless, and totally unable
to offer resistance in that condition.
'With the most cruel manifestation of
feline character, the jaguar then leisure
ly gnaws out the quivering flesh from
between the shell and carapace. An
other of the jaguar's reasonable man
euvrings is to quietly follow the margin
of streams. At the sight of a fish near
enough to be approached, with a quick
dash of its paw the game is thrown
high and dry above the bank. Fortun
ately for the country, the jaguar has a
match in the great serpents that infest
tropical America. In the twinkling of: n
eye one of those monsters winds him
self around his body, and crushes out
life and cracks the bones into fragments
at the same moment.

Now don’t live a single hour of yonr life
without doing exactly what is to be done in

it is take hold at once and finish it up
squarely and cleanly ; and then to the next
thing, without letting any moments drop
out between. It is wonderful to see how
many hours these prompt people contrive to
make of a day; it is as if they picked up
the moments that the dawdlers lost. And
if ever you find yourself where you have so
many things pressing upon you that you

FARM AND GARDEN.
Eypekimentisg with Hess.— ln
the Poultry World, Isaac Lynde, of
Ohio, gives the result of an experiment
with different breeds of pullets in lay
ing for six months, and the cost of their
feed. On September Ist he took ten
pullets of each of the breeds mentioned
below, about six months old, gave them
a yard forty feet square, with a com
fortable house, and kept an exact account
of eggs and feed, as follows :
The Dark Brahmas ate 369 1-2 quarts
of corn, oats and wheat screenings, laid
605 eggs, and weighed 70 pounds. The
Buff Cochins ate 406 quarts, laid 591
eggs, and weighed 73 pounds. The
Gray Dorkings ate 309 1-2 quarts, laid
524 eggs, and weighed 59 1-2 pounds.
The Houdans ate 214 1-4 quarts, laid
763 eggs, and weighed 45 1-2 pounds.
The Leghorns ate 231 1-5 quarts, laid
807 eggs, and weighed 36 1-2 pounds.
To make this experiment more com
plete, and to show which lot gave the
most profit, including both eggs and
flesh, we have supposed the fowls to be
dressed and sold at the end of the six
months at 20 cents per pound ; also that
the eggs were worth 24 cents a dozen
(two cents each), and that the cost of
the feed was- 2 1-2 cents per quart, or
80 cents por bushel. The figures would
then be•

The greatest profit on the investment
is thus in favor of the Houdans, with
the Leghorns next and the Dorkings
least. It would have been interesting,
however, to know the weight of the eggs
laid by the several varieties, to see what
actual difference there was in the amount
of food furnished by them, and its value
|at a fair estimate by weight. On such
a basis it is quite probable that the
Brahmas would have shown the greatest
profit. And another item to be consid
ered by r investors is, that where the
fowls must be confined a four-foot fence
j will answer for the large breeds, while
: for the light-bodied breeds eight or ten
feet will be necessary, and even then
: their wings will have to be clipped. In
addition, it is the general verdict that
the large breeds bear confinement the
best, and are more easily kept in good
| health and from those vicious habits of
( plucking each other's feathers and eating
| their own eggs. But all breeds will
j give trouble enough in confinement if
| not furnished with plenty of employment,
water and food.— Country Gentleman.
Keep the Catti.e Growing. —The
most successful breeders of horses, cat
tle, sheep or swine know from experi
cnce that, although they - may possess
the best breeding animals, they will not
bo successful in producing superior stock
if a continuous growth of young ani
mals is not kept up. In order to begin
in time at this indispensable preparation
for success, the brood mares, cows, ewes
and sows are most carefully and suitably
fed while with young, and as soon as
the young animals make their appear
ance they are taken the greatest care of,
the dams being suitably fed while suck
ling, and when the young ones are
weaned they are not supposed to want
for food or drink a single hour.
By this means a continuous and rapid
growth is kept up, and the animals at
tain a large size and heavy - weight at an
early age. When breeding animals are
not properly fed and comfortably shel
tered in winter, the bad effect of such
treatment is not confined to their own
want of condition—it is shared by their
progeny, and can never be remedied.
When your stock are not fed well and
comfortably sheltered in winter, their
growth becomes stunted, and no subse
quent amount of food can repair the
damage. Y oung animals may - suffer for
want of proper provender in summer
and autumn as well as in winter, and
when this happens it stops continuous
growth and prevents ultimate success
in the object of the breeder.— Working
Farmer.
Flies and Disease. —Flies arc un
comfortable visitors in summer, espe
cially in a sick room. It has been found
that they are harmful also, and may be
agents in spreading contagious diseases.
A German professor in Vienna made an
experiment to test the truth of this the
ory. Finding the flies very numerous
on the faces of his small-pox patients,
he put some glycerine in a saucer to
entangle the flies. Many of them were
caught by the glutinous matter, and
soon the glycerine was filled with strange
cells like those on the small-pox patients.
The inference was inevitable that the
flies communicated the infectious matter
to the glycerine, and could carry conta
gion to other houses. It will be a new
argument to keep all sick rooms free
from these insects.
Camellia Culture—Use oe Lime
Water. —Mrs. Geo. YV. Carpenter, in
Gardeners Monthly, says: In regard to
the watering of camellias wfith lime w r ater,
the facts are as follows : The plants are
grown in large pots, and have been in
them undisturbed for several years; a
large reservoir on the place, containing
five hundred gallons of water, receives
annually about three bushels of lime ;
before watering the plants, the lime is
usually well stirred up with the water,
allowing it to settle before use. Lime
water was first used to kill worms in
the soil, which it effectually did. It has
since been continued regularly, the
thriving, healthy appearance of both
roots and branches seeming to warrant
its use.

It is now said that the dethroned Em
press of Mexico, Charlotte of Belgium,
is not dead as was reported, but in a
condition far more melancholy. She is
a hopeless maniac; spending her time in
childish imitations of regal ceremony,
dressing up chairs in her rich robes,
and affecting to hold royal receptions.
Her health is such as to give promised
long life, but all hope of her recovery
is finally extinguished.
Ornamental Gardening. Xo. 2.
The season for gardening is fast ap
proaching again. A few good rains will
make the ground soft and fit for spading,
and then we can begin to plant seeds,
slips, etc., in good earnest. It is aston
ishing to see how rapidly slips will grow
when they get the full benefit of the
rain. Rose slips, particularly, grow very
fast. We recall a beautiful Giant of Bat
tle rose-bush which was set out a little
slip early last winter, and which grew
and blossomed in the spring in a way
that was marvelous to contemplate. One
need never buy roses, when slips, which
any friend will give one, will jgrow so
easily if set out early. A much larger
number of flowers will grow from mere
cuttings in this way than persons gener
ally suppose, or than those who have
plants for sale will readily admit. The
cases are few' in which, with care, a slip
does not flourish. A friend once called
our attention to her favorite oleander
bush, from which the children had
broken two or three small branches. She
was about to throw them away, when we
begged permission to take them home,
and try- to make them grow. She had
little faith in our success, but assented,
of course, and w T e hope to see flowers on
the once cast-off branches this coming
season.
It is a good idea to plant seeds of the
same flower twice during the rainy sea
son. Then flowers will blossom early' in
the summer, and one may have a second
crop when the neighbors’ flowers are
dead and gone. It is always desirable,
too, in purchasing for a garden, to select
flowers that blossom at different seasons
of the year. Thus the Calla lily', the
daffodil, the bridal wreath, and the rose
blossom early, while later come the
fuchsia, larkspur, salvia, gladiolus, dah
lia, and hosts of others.
The geraniums, in countless varieties,
will blossom the year round if trimmed
occasionally. Who that has read Miss
Milford’s Life and Letters—a charming
book, by the way —will ever forget her
passionate love for geraniums, and the
wonderful and rare varieties she pos
sessed. She could talk and write about
them constantly’ and yet never weary one,
communicating to others in a remarkable
manner the same interest in her pets
which she herself felt. We have always
been glad that in a life of unusual toil,
as was hers, supporting by her pen for
years an indolent, selfish, and extrava
gant father, and nursing both parents
through a long period of sickness, in
connection with her literary labors, that
she had her geraniums and other flowers
to console and cheer her, when the bur
den of life bore heavily upon her frail
shoulders.
Some persons object to geraniums on
the ground that they are so common,
and they will spend fifty or a hundred
dollars in buying rare plants for their
gardens, which, when completed, fre
quently look less beautiful than those of
their neighbors who have never paid a
cent for anything they have. The rea
son is, either that they select plants
which flower for a brief period and then
lose their foliage, or else those that have
little color, and consequently present a
sameness that is monotonous. Buy’ the
rare plants by all means, if you can—no
one can have a greater weakness in that
direction than ourselves —but intermix
with them the bright flow ers of the gera
nium and the verbena, and the effect will
be much finer.
Everybody has heard of Vick, the cel
ebrated florist of Rochester, New York.
He suggests a very pretty way to make
“Ribbon Beds,’ 1 and we think all who
try it will be pleased with the result.
The plan is to set plants of the same
height and color in a row, several rows
forming the bed. A circle is a pretty
and simple form, and may contain any
number of inner circles which the size
will allow. Plant, then, in the outer
ring flowers which are uniform in color
and which do not grow very high; in
the next circle, flowers of a different
color and somewhat taller, and so on,
the height gradually increasing toward
the centre, where they are highest. We
think this would be more difficult to
accomplish than the plan of taking dif
ferent colors of the same flower, the por
tulaca or phlox Drummondii, for in
stance. Of course, in this case, the
arrangement of height must be dispensed
with, but this simplifies the object to be
attained so much that it seems as if none
who try it need to fail. No flower is
prettier than the phlox for this purpose,
and the seed in four or five different col
ors can easily be purchased and set out
row within row. It is not necessary to
have so many colors, neither is it neces
sary that a circular bed be used. A
diamond-shaped bed with but three col
ors, would be very pretty and perfectly
simple. This plan of ribbon beds is
very popular in Europe, but seldom seen
in America; and, though we do not be
long to that class who like everything
foreign because it in foreign, we think in
this case, by following European exam
ple, we may add much to our pleasure
and to ornamental gardening.
It is impossible for flowers to grow
successfully where there is too much
shade. People should remember this
when they set out their trees, and not
put them so near together that in a
couidc of years there is room for nothing
else. It looks out of place, too. to see a
small front door-yard crowded full of
trees. One does not expect a forest
grove in a space fifty feet by seventy
live. A few shade trees and a green
lawn, with here and there a rose-bush
hanging over with rich, red roses, or a
mass of geranium all ablaze, seems to us
much more appropriate, while to persons
who prefer, there is the alternative of
variously shaped beds, neat gravel walks,
and flowers of every name. and hue.
If every one could have a hot-house,
then the objection to house plants would
fade away. We saw a few days ago a
beautiful residence with a piazza inclos
ed on both sides with glass, and having
an outside glass door. We thought it
the most desirable thing we had seen,
much better than having a separate con
servatory in some part of the garden.
The flowers looked so bright and pretty
peeping through the windows every
where, that as we rode slowly by, feast
ing our eyes on the scene before us, we
came very near breaking the tenth com
mandment. If the glass were of mod
erate size it does not seem as thongh
this plan for a conservatory need be very
expensive, and, once bnilt, we could go
to work to rival Woodward as soon as
we chose! Incognita.
