Liberty pole were, for the most part, erected after the Revolutionary War wa? so long an acknowledged fact that the rebels could take time ahd breath to give it some picturesque expressions. After the Republic was established we hear little more of them until the War( of 1812 rouaed the aitagonism of the people, and up went the long shafts again, each a protest against British ag gression. . . During the Whisky Insuirection in the last decade of the eighteenth century, when seveu counties of Pennsylvania and Virginia arrayed themselves in defiance of the National Government, liberty poles shot up during the night in the ', rebel lious towns and villages, painted a bright red as signals of war. Liberty, poles were erected during Presidential campaigns in the first part of the century by both Whigs and Dem ocrats. . They were usually made of white pines, lashed together until they' reached a great height. The more fervid the zeal of the party the higher rose th pole. Sailors were often brought out from the seaboard to inland towns td assist in the erection, and 'to rig flags to the amazement and delight of the boys who knew nothing of ships or seamen; Mass-meeting3 were held under these polea, which were often ; regarded with a superstitious affection. The blowing down of a pole by a high wind during, a campaign chilled the hopes of one par-' ty, and cheered the others. -j These singular emblems of protest against oppression have wholly ,disap-t peared of late years throughout the country, except in some remote district where old customs still are cherished by rural communities. Youth's Companiam Llzhtnin -Proof Ships. ; It is curious fact that the iron '.ships of the present time are not damaged nearly so frequently as are wooden ships. The German Government has been' col lecting some statistics relating to the effect of lightning on ships audi the reason given by the commission appointed to collect the figures for the immunity of iron ships from damage, is that wire rope is used for rigging purposes and-that the vessels are constructed either of iron or steel. . In this way it is believed that the whole slip becomes a continuous con ductor leading the lightning to the sea beforo it can da much damage. The L commission reports that no ca$e has been recorded of a ship rigged with wire rig ging sustaining damage from lightning, except in a few instances whsre a con tinuous connection had- not been made with the hull.

HOW V ESSELS CAN SAFELY BE TAKEN THROUGH STORMS. Vessels Are Being Supplied with Oil Distributing Apparatus Cases in Which the Oil ' May be Used. The recent terrible gales on the Eng lish coast, during which a large number of vessels and many lives were lost, and the approaching season of heavy weather off our own coast and upon the North Atlantic Ocean bring forcibly to mind the streuous efforts that are constantly being made by the United States Hydro graphic OlSce to induce all vessels to provide themselves with appliances for ejecting oil. 1 When Commander Bartlett was hy drographer the matter of using oil fox quelling the waves was made a special feature and placed under the charge of Lieutenant Dyer, who, when he becamt hydrographer, pushed the matter still further. The result of this intelligent and persistent effort has bsh the collec tion of a large amount of informatioi oh the subject that has been embodied in a set of rules which the branch hydrographic officer in this city, Lieu tenant O. W. Loweryj is distributing among the shipmasters. The belief in the efficiency of this method of calming the waves has sc firmly established itself in many cases that numbers of vessels are now espe cially provided with oil-distributing ap paratus, and seldom a storm passes with out one or more reports being submitted on the subject. The general conclusions being that had the precaution not been resorted to fatal results would have fol lowed. To substantiate this opinion one need only refer to the marine reports ol disasters that follow any one of the seven storms on our coasts. When scudding before a gale the rule3 say that the oil should be distributed from the bow by means of oil-bags oi through waste pipes. It will thus spread aft as the ship continues on her courat and give protection lrom both quarter ing and following seas. The effect is al most miraculous, the foaming seas as they come tearing along, looking.' for all the world as though they would swallow up th3 vessel, masts and all, stop whex they reach the "slick," over which theii combers cannot pass, and extend their energies in futile efforts to reach theii prey. ' ... If drifting in the trough of a heavy sea Use the oil from the forward waste pipes and put the bag3 over on the weather side. Lying to, to tack ot. 'wear shipj the oil can also be used from the . same places. It seems wonderful that a film of oil too thin for the most delicate instrument to measure can have such an instantaneous effect even when there is a lashing and diabolical play of the water that no pea can describe. Everybody know3 kow much easier ma chinery runs when it i3 oi'ed, or, in other words, when the friction is re duced. It is the same thing in this case the wind cannot catch a good hold on the water, and it is prevented from so doing by the oil on its surface. A vessel hove to for a pilot should dis tribute oil from the weather side and lee quarter. The pilot-boat run3 up to wind ward and lowers a boat, which pulls dpwn to leeward and around the vessel's .stern. . The pilot-boat after sendins ofl her boat then runs down to leeward, gets out oil-bags to windward and on her lee quarter, and the boat pulls back around her stern, protected by the oil. The vessels drift to leeward and leave an oil slick to windward between the two. Towing another vessel in a heavy sea is frequently a very dangerous operation, and again and again has the attempt been given up until wind and sea have abated, whereas in many instances it could readily have been accomplished had the oil bags been at hand, or, rather, had they been in service. . They are very easy to make, as they consist of nothing but a conical canvass bag stuffed with oakum, on which oil is plentifully poured, and having large sail needles thrust through and through the canvas so that the oil can have a chance to ooze out. Again and again could the towing haw sers have been fifept from snapping had this simple remedy been applied. The above instances are but samples of the many cases in which oil can be used. Lowering and hoisting boats, rid ing to a sea-anchor, crossing rollers Or surf on a bar and from life-boat3 and stranded vessels are cases in which its utility is very marked. Mineral oils are not so effective as animal or vegetable oils. Raw petroleum has been experimented-with and has given favorable results, but is not "as satisfactory as the refined quality. Certain oils, like cocoa nut oil and some kinds of fish oil, con geal in cold weather, and afia therefore useless, but may be mixed with mineral oil to advantage. New York World., A Remarkable Ride. .The Indian papers received by a recent mail report the details of a remarkable journey maue last monta lrom lien, on the border of Thibet, to Srinagar, the capital of Cashmere, by Captain Evans Oordon, of the Political Department btarting from Leh at 3 a. m., Captain Gordon crossed the Phoa Pass (13,300 feet) and tne Mamika Pass (13,000 feet), and reached Dras at 9:15 in the even ing, having, when an allowance is madt for a half hour's halt, covered 151 miles in under eighteen hours. After resting for seven hours Captain' Gordon started again in a blinding snowstorm for Mat tain, only a dozen miles distant,' which was not reached till two hours later Here the weather had temporarily im proved, but snow was again falling be fore Baltal was reached. By this timt it was , noon. Pushing on the traveler found that Sonatnars was deep in snow. and that two days' heavy rain had made the track to Srinagar very nearly impas sable; but by dint of perseverance the residency was reached at 8 o'clock in the evening, 250 miles having been traversed in something under thirty-three hours, The ponies were changed twenty-fivt times. "Such a feat to those who art acquainted with the country and road over which the journey lay needs no en larging upon in order to appreciate the endurance and determination shown by Captain Gordon," who was accompanied throughout by a native servant. New York Commercial Advrtiser. Care for Seasickness. A correspondent of the St. James" a Oa zette says that the drinking of saltwater is a perfect cure for seasickness, though it makes the drinker very miserable for a few minutes after. he take3 the cure. The sailor who recommended it to tht sufferer in question accounted for it bj saying the stomach on board ship is in a ery sensitive state, and that the sail water pickles it,so that it gets hardened to conditions which had previously re volted it. If that were the explanation, it must be a very rapid and miraculous kind of pickling process that is effected by "a pint of salt water, not in all prob ability, long retained. But whatevei the rationale of the supposed "sailor's remedy" may be, any quick remedy for so frightful a distress ia worth trying; and the assertion of the sailors is said to ha that H never fails, HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

If you do not know how to make it study the following simple lesson: ' For the white of two eggs use one tea- cupful of granulated sugar.

When the syrup is ready take it from the stove and stir in the eggs, adding only a spoonful at the- time and stirring thoroughly, that all may be evenly cooked. DANGERS OP BABY CARRIAGES. Many disease's of the spine and "brain trouble," from which our babies die, could be traced to a fall from the car riage, if poor baby could tell; but there lies the security of the average nurse ; I do not mean to condemn carriages, be cause they are a great help to mothers and benefit to babies; but I would call attention to the fact that the baby is often not securely fastened in. The strap is left unbuckled, and in crossing streets the child is in constant danger of being thrown ; out. I saw one little child fall from this cause. It was picked up senseless, carried into a drug store and restored to consciousness, and the nurse went on her way rejoining, and probably the mother never heard of it. A little girl climbed up on the seat and reached for the handle while the nurse had left her "a minute;" tht car riage was overturned and the child re ceived an ugly cut on the forehead, which will disfigure her for life. I have noticed lately on a number of car riages an improved strap, which is a step in the right direction. Liiiei Hmne Journal. I I j IRONING.

A Gold Mine in the Teeth ' French statisticians have recently made some curious calculations of the amount of gold which is annually buried in tho United States. M.

This gold is never re covered, of course, but is buried with the person in whose iuouth it is placed.

But it turns quicklyito alco holic and acid fermeutation, and when this occurs it has little, if any, value for feeding. It is then not even good for fertilizing the soil, as its acidity kills vegetation that it comes in contact with. When frozen and rotted the following vear it again becomes of somei value as a fertilizer. Boston Cultivator, WINTER CARE OP SWINE. To do their best, or even fairly well, swine must be shielded from the inclem encies of the weather,says Galea Wilson. They should have, as near possible, sum mer conditions in winter. This can be easily and cheaply accomplished. The fpen should be floored, first packing earth between and nusn witn tne lace oi tne sills. The floor will then rest partly on the sills and the earth. Cold air cannot then get under the floor to chill it. Be neath where the animals sleep, floor, earth and sills will be warm all winter. Tho sides of the pen should be double boarded, and the space-between be filled with sawdust or cut straw, packed close. The under side of the roof should be ceiled with boards or building paper. The door should be in the end,; if a low pen, and be in two parts, an upper and a lower. In all but extremely cold weather the upper part of the door can be thrown open, or partly, to give nec essary ventilation. Hang a thermometer inside, and keep it at about sixty de grees. This givs "summer conditions," so far as temperature is concerned. About six quarts or a peck of beets and an car of corn twice a day will win ter a mature breeding sow as iwell as it can be done. They need no "slops" nor scarcely any drinking water. There is sufficiency in the beets. In the ab sence of beets, the feed should be made up principally of wheat bran, mill feed, a very little corn, cut and . steamed clover and some refuse, or other vege tables of any kind. A shovelful of coal ashes, earth or rotton wood occasionally is desirable. Salt should bo placed be fore them occasionally in bulk, but not in greesy dish-water or other slops. Let their drinking water always be pure and not too cold. Pleasant days,j when the temperature is agreeable, they may ba allowed to run out. Neva York Voice. BHEEP NOMENCLATURE. The folllowing is from Stephens's Boos of the Farm: When newborn it is called a 'lairb;' if male, in Scotland, a 4tup lamb. When castrated it is called a "hosg-lamb ;" if female, a 'ewe-lamb." In England the young sheep retains the name of Iamb till it is eight month? old. In Scotland, after weaning and before first clipping, a "tub-Iamb" is called s tup-hogg, ' In Lngland lambs aftei they are eight months old, till the first shearing, "ewe" and "weather-tegs," ac cording to sex; In Scotland a "ewe- nogg alter tue nrst cupping is called a "gimmer, a "tup-hog, a "shearing I tup, and a "wether hog ' a 4dinmont. The auimal corresponding to th iinc of 4 "gimmer" in Scotland is called in England a "theave" until it bears tht nrst iamb, atter wmcn it is termea a ewe of ;'fdur teeth;" the year after, "ewe of six teeth, and after that a "full mouthed cwc." Tho "dmmont" in Scot land answers in Lngland to tho title ot "shear hog'' until they are deprived of the fleece, after which they are called "two-shear wethers, and atterwardf "wethers." In Scotland the shearing brings about another change of names; thus the "gimmer," if she is in lamb is called a "ewe;" if barren a "barren- gimmer;" and an "eild-gimmer" if she is not put to "tup" or "ram." .A "shearing-tup" is changed to a "two- shear tup;" a "dinmont" becomes a "wether." When three time3 shorn a ewe is called a "twinter-ewe," a "tup," a "three-shear tup ;' a "wether" under goes no etiange ot name, Out still con tinues to be called by that name. After the fourth shParing.a "ewe is a "three- winter ewe, or an "aged ewe, a "tup" is known as an "aced tup.V When a "ewe" fails to be with lamb a second time, she is called a "tup-ewe or "bar ren-ewe;" when she ceases toi give milk a "yeld-ewe;" when removed from the Dreedug dock, at wnatever age, sne is called a "draft;" when put aside unSt for breeding a "draft-giminer;" and when drafted out of the fat "or yOung stock, lambs, dinmonts, or wethers are called ."shedding, "tails," or irir.afr9 " I' FARM AKD GARDEN NOTES.

The sure eye of nature nas picKea out tne very ones tnat you would be glad to be rid of could you de tect them, and left you the hardiest indi viduals to breed from, the weakness of such particular ones, moreover, often consisting in some profound fault that does not show itself. 1 The clover plant is no exception to the ruie tuai a very large growtn oi leat is apt to be at the expense of the seed crop. iiut mere is one way ot manuring clover co mano it seea aounaantiy, i ana tnat is with mineral fertilizers. While stable manuring tends to excess of vine, the large growth produced by applying phos- pnate ana potasn increases seea propor tionally, alucn, nowever, depends on the season. Dry weather, after the first cutting, which forces the roots into the subsoil for moisture, is usually favorable to seed production. j There can be no dispute about the fact that it is wisdom and econotnv both, in fowl breeding, to "feed well from the shell", upward.

One of the neighbors of his father,one Denter Grumpp, was very fond of fish ing, and he had built for this purpose a fiat-bottomed boat or scow, and he used to avail himself of the labors of his son Christopher and his neighbor's son Robert to aid him in his pursuit by get- tin - them to pole the boat over tne waters of the Cones toga, while he fish poled the perch and the bass into the boat. As well may be imagined this was not much amusement for the boys, but one of them put on his thinking cap as he pushed his way along, and, as usual, pushing and thinking won in the end. Tiring of pole-pushing, Robert Fulton concluded that he ; would go over the hills and make his aunt a visit of a week or so, and it was in tho garret of his aunt's house that he built a small model of Denter Grumpp's flat boat, to which he planned and arranged a pair of paddle wheels. Coming back home he confided to his chum Christopher his invention and, securing his aid, they together rio-ged up a paddle shaft with wheels and cranks for the flat boat of the elder Grumpp. This was so arranged that the whole machinery could be lifted off and taken to a place of safety while not in use. It was not long before the elder Grumpp had, as many another since haj had, a longing to try his luck again on the waters of the Conestoga, and he summoned the before-time reulctant boys to help him out. What his surprise was, we perhaps can imagine, as ne looneu back from the boat and saw the two boys struggling down the river bank with a queer-looking conglomeration of iron and wood in tne snape oi cranss anu wueei, on their shoulders, and just how the boys chuckled together-as they saw the sur prise in the staid old Dutchman's face we can also imagine. . However, after suppressed giggling, they hung the shaft in its plice, and the wheels over the side, taking their places at the cranks,' and then and there started the first paddle-wheel boat ever seen on the new continent of America. Engi neering Magazine. , The Innocent Saffer For the Guilty. One evening in Paris, France, hours past the usual time of closing the shop, when the long-suffering Mr. Miles (an American) was rapidly drifting into a state of starvation from the postpone ment of his dinner hour, there came in five Frenchmen, one after the 6ther,each asking the following questions : " What is the price of the little clocks in your window! Have they an alarm attached ? Do jou warrant them to go well?" And then, being answered, they would depart without purchasing. The fifth had left, and Ht. Miles was in the act of rushing off in quest of his much-needed dinner. when a sixth Frenchman entered. This was too much for the hungry and exasperated American. Without waiting to heat -what the newcomer had to say, he clutched him wildly and remarked : Sir, I know just what you are going to ask. Those little clocks are American. Their price is one dollar each. They have no alarm attached. lney only strike the hours. We will warrant them lor a certain time only. ine Frenchman hurried forth and rejoined his wife, whom he had left looking in in the window. "My dear," he re marked excitedly, "they have a regular lunatic asylum in there Philadelphia lelegrah "Touchy' about His Hut Lo Bengulu, the King of Mashona- land, South Africa, has kept up an old and curious custom. There is a hut within the King's kraal which no one is allowed to touch, not even to pull a straw from the thatch. If anyone com mits such an offence the King tells some of his people to take him outside the kraal, which is tantamount to ordering him to be killed. Not long since part of the escort of a distinguished traveler. who was admitted to an interview with Lo Bengulu, consisted of a young Kaffr who offended in this way. Soon aftei the Kaffir was missed, and the belief wai . that the wolves and dogs had a feast that night. Yankee Blade.

" There is ' a popular idea that dentists use gold for their fillings because they can charge more for it, and this idea is all the more prevalent because silver will resist the acids of the mouth quite as well as. gold. The true explanation, however, lies in the fact that gold is the only metal that will weld while cold. This neither silver nor any other metal will do. The cohesive properties of perfectly smooth and clear gold are re markable. If a sheet of gold foil be al lowed to fall upon another both will be so firmly joined thkt it will be impossible to separate them. Courier-Journal.
