Coolino Milk by Planting Trees.
At a recent dairymen's association meeting-
cooling milk before deliyering to
the' factory, was , made a prominent
atopic, and it was urged that tie cooling
should begin witn cooling wie rows.
This would save nearly all thp trouble
onnrionnMl in the heat of the season
rfrom bad milk, By keeping jthe cows
'onni ' comfortable and healthy, their
milk would be sound and pur$, and not
in a condition to need doctoring. To

-nono-h to allow of filling themselves
quickly and retiring to the shade; water
must be convenient and good ; and slow
ririvin? and milking, in an airy shade,
are also essential. If feed in the heated
term is scanty in the pasture, it should
h made Dlentv by soiling, and if natu
ral shade is wanting, artificial should
be applied. Cows thus cared for will
' ?ive milk of a quality that will not need
artificial cooling, if taken to the factory
' twice a day. All that would be required
would be to remove It in well ventilated
rams. It would then arrive at the rac
tory all the better for the airing and:
agitation of a ride. In default of pro
per care of the cows and free ventilation
in' transportation, artificial cooling
must be resorted to Dy tne useoi water,
lce or air. While rapid cooling, by
which the milk or any part of it is sud-
denly reduced below 60 degrees, was
not approved or, it was tne general sen
tlment that gradual cooling down to at
least 70 degrees is urgently demanded
for all milk liable to taint or other
fault, and desirable for any milk in hot
weather. The necessity of keeping
own cool and comfortable bv nrotectlnsr
them from the heat of the sun in op- being afterwards justified

the close of the discussion by a unanl
mous resolution, recommending, forth e
purpose of improving the products of

the roads where cows are to be driven

Machine Type-Setting. The latest de
vice of this sort a foreign invention
consists mainly ot a type frame or case,
ana a movaDie type-extractor carrying
the compoaine-Btlck, the case betas
fixed at an angle, and divided into a
number of vertical spaces for holding
the various types. Below the case Is a
steel slide-bar upon which the extrac
tor works, and is free to be moved
either to the right or the left by the
compositor, j The type-extractor has
two handles, one or these being fixed
on the left side, and by means of which
it is moved to ana rro, ana the other
similarly movable on the right, by

which causes a small projecting piece at
the back to engage in the space between
the teeth of a steel comb, and which
fixes the position of the extractor ; at
the same time, a email piston advances
forward, pressing a type before it. out
ot the rack ! into the composing-stick
that is held! in the receiver. On-re

is passed on to theriext type required
When the composing-stick is mil,

and an empty one substituted, the type

The Workshop. The crushing
strength of box aud teak is nearly.
double that of American oak. Girders
of cast iron, up to a span of forty feet,
involve a less cost than of wrought
Iron. Slate is a very dry material, but
from its quick conducting power it is
not adapted for the retention of heat.
Asphaltum fifty pounds and gravel

of ten and three-iourins square teet,
In public halls, churches and build
ings, where the weight of people alone
is to be provided for, an estimate of 175
pounds per square root of floor surface
is sufficient to provide for the weight
o'f flooring and the load upon it. Port
land cement Is made In .England and
France. It requires less water than
Roman cement, sets slowly and can be
remixed with additional water, after
an interval of twelve or even twenty

"Ripe" Cattle. The question of
"ripeness" iii fat cattle is something
that troubles the common stock-raiser
very little; while to the intelligent
breeder, who ships to a leading market,
it is everything, it means that happy
condition of the animal which is neither
too fat nor too lean. It means solid
meat not floating blubber, or stringy
tough flesh, but that elastic, springv
conditiqri, betokening tender juicy meat
and good solid weight of carcass. To
bring the. animal to this condition is
where the' skill in handling comes in
Every feeder should practice teeling
the flesh of his stock and learn to tell by
the touch .what the quality of the beef
is. A short horn bleeder pointed eut
to us an animal In his herd recently
as a model. Her lines were straight
; and smooth, and to all appearances she
was a beauty. When we came to han
dle her she felt as though the finger
' could be run into her at any point. A
slap on the back would shake every
pound of flesh on her body. We thought
that breeder needed educating.
Numerous foreign governments, as
Russia, Cuba, Slam, Japan, &c, &c,
have adopted the Fairbanks' Standard
Scales for government use, and in tire
last four years only, our own govern
ment, in the Postoftice Department, the
War Department and Treasury Depart
ment, have bought over 11,000 of them.
Homr Trade Best. rThe greatest and
most important branch of the commerce
of every nation is that which is carried
on between the inhabitants of the town
and those of the country. The former
draw from the latter the rude produce
which constitute both the materials of
their work and the necessities of life,
while they pay for this raw material by
sending back to the country a certain
portion of it manufactured and pre
pared for use. Agriculture is always
most remunerative where manufactures
are most prosperous.
In oxen the stomach weighs'Sl ounces
for everv 100 pounds of live weight; in
sheep it weighs 39 ounces; in pigs 14
ounces, while in man only 6 ounces,
These facts ard important, as showing
the greater necessity for concentrated
food in some cases than in others. The
human race requires mixed diet of
meat and vegetables.
A new method of pressing letters in
glass has been invented by a resident of
Wheeling, Va. The process is a very
simple one. The letters to be used are
raised on the face Of the plunger used
in pressing the glass in the moulds.
This method leaves the. glass plate
smooth on either side and beside does
away with any artistic skill in coloring
letters, as any one can, take a brush and
fill the letters with the coloring matter.
As glass is the most durable substance
known and one of the cheapest, this in
vention will enable insurance com
panies to provide the plates which in
dicate the name of their companies and
Which are placed on the property in
sured, at much less cost than the tin
plates now in use. The glass, too, is
capable of any degree of ornamentation
and when the die and plunger are once
made thousands of plates may be struck
from the mould. The same mav be
said of all the varieties of advertising
plates and : cards which are used in
great numbers.

M. Melsens, Of the Belgien Academy,
has been awarded the Guinard prize of
two thousand xJollars, which was insti
tuted as a reward for the discovery of
anything which should greatly better
the condition ol working people, either
materially or intellectually. M. Melsens
has found an antidote for the poisonous
effects produced upon the system by
lead or meicury ; this is iodide of po
tassium, winch converts these sub
stances into soluble metallic compounds
and then idrives them awav. M
Melsens rejects the view that iodide of
potassium is itself a true poison, but he
insists that It shall perfectly pure and
given in small doses at nrst. ine dis
covery is likely to prove very usetui to
persons employed in manufactures
which expose them to tne action oi
metallic poisons.
A Fact to be Remembered.
Blanqgetti op Veal. Put the pieces
of veal saved for this dish into enough
cold water to cover them, together
.with a table8poonful of salt and 1 cents
worth ol soup greens, the onions Deing
stuck with lOcloves; skim occasionally,
whenever any scum rises, and simmer
until the meat is tender, which will be
in half or three-quarters of an hour;
then take up the meat in a colander,
and run some cold water over it from
the faucet; strain the pot liquor, and
let; it boil again ; mix together over the
fire one tablespoonful of butter, (cost, 2
cents) and two of flour ; when they are
smooth, add one quart of the boiling
broth to them, season with a table
spoonful ( salt, quarter of a level tea
spoonful oi vhite pepper, and quarter
of a nutmeg 'rated; mix the yolks of
two eggs (cost, 2 cents) with about a
cupful of the broth, and stir them into
the rest; then put in the veal, and heat
and serve it, with a quart of boiled
potatoes, (cost, 3 cents). The dinner
will cost about 30 cents.
Crinkled Muslin. The secret
whereby sheer muslin is made to as
sume the now desirable appearance of
crape, is this. The dress, tie or bow, is
washed in cold water, without the use
of soap or starch. To the rinsing water
is added a little clear coffee -only
enough to give the muslin a faint
creamy cast. Then wring out by twist
ing tfte goods into a rope, as tightly as
possible, and winding it around the
clothes line like a vine securing it at
each end. In this way let it dry
thoroughly. Thent carefully unwind
and shake out, and if successful, the
muslin will have that creamy, crinkled
look alone known in crapes.
A Wall Street, New York broker laid
a wager the other day that Christopher
Columbus discovered the continent of
North America, and of cpurse lost, it is
surprising how many intelligent per
sons entertain the-same error. Know
ing that he discovered a number of is
lands in the Western Hemisphere, they
think that he' must, of necessity, have
discovered -this continent also. They
forget that Tie died in ignorance of the
real grandeur of his achievements, be-
lieving.Cuba, Terra Firma and the other
lands he had found to be remote parts of
Asia. Amerigo Vespucci, after whom
North and South America i;v named.
did not discover this cpntinent proper
either. The land he discovered lay near
the equator, and he, too, was deluded
with the notion that it was a portion
of Asia. John Cabot was the" discov
erer of North America (some time in
May ,'1497), which he likewise supposed
oto belong to the dominions of the Grand
Cham. He sailed along the coast for
' 300, leagues, and went ashore without
finding any hujnan beings, though he
believed the country inhabited. It is
remarkable that the three great discov
erers of the Western World should all
have been Italians Columbus having
been bom in Genoa. Vespucci in Flor
ence, and Cabot presumably irf Venice.
The birth of Cabot is uncertain, as are
his age and place and time of his death.
Butthelae't that the license granted him
by Henry VII. callshim Kabetto., Ven
etian, would "seem to determine the
'question of his nativity. The discovers
had a sorry fortune. Columbus, as we
.are aware was treated with the black
est ingratitude by the King of Spain.
When the officersof the vessel in which
he was carried a prisonor-to Spain of
fered to remove his chains, imposed
upon him by royal order, he replied, "1
will wear them as a lemintler of the
gratitude of Princes." He died, as
everybody knows neglected, in extreme
poverty of a broken heart. Vespucci
I had muiiy trials and died poor, and Ca
bot or Cabotta, fell into such obscurity
1 that no: one can tell where or when or
how he died. Surely the auguries at
tendant on the birth of the Western
World were not. favorable and in a su
perstitious age might have led to the
belief that its history would never be
: marked bv good fortune.
The Microphone? applied to the Human
Body. Afterthe Invention of the
microphone it"wa natural to think of
applying it to detect obscure sounds in
the human liody. ill. ua moncei an
nounced, at a recent meeting of the
Paris Academy, that the problenrhas
been solved by M. Ducretet, who 'em
ploys in hia "stethoscopic microphone"
the very sensitive tambours of M.
Marey. The only drawback to the ap
paratus is, that it is rather too delicate
in its action, and transmits to the ear a
host of sounds whose existence was not
suspected, and the Causes of which need
investigation.
Diamonds have a i-pec fic gravtty of 2.5
to 2.8. A successful method to detect
spurious stone is to scratch them on
quartz topaz or corundrum. A diamond
will readily scratch either without
danger to itself. ! After exposure to the
sunlight it is phosphorescent in the
dark. .
Carrots. This wholesome vegetable
makes an appetizing dinner dish when
prepared as follows : wash, scrape cut
the "carrots lengthwise and boil until
very tender, which will take from an
hour and a half to two hours. When
done, slice the carrots very thin into a
saucepan with one or two tablespoon-
fuls of butter and a small cup of cream
if milk is used, thicken a very little
with corn starch, add pepper, salt aud
cook about ten minutes; serve in a
covered vegetable dish.

inured by several days traveling. The
way from the city lies through the
tombs of the Borghite Memlook Sultans
but better known by the name of the
tombs of the seven Caliphs. They are
elaborate mosques, with domes and
minarets, all of which are fast becom
ing ruined for the want of attention.
In each repose the bones of its royal
builder, as well as those of his family.
It was the custom of Egyptian monarchs
to commence building their tombs im
diately upon ascending the throne, In
order, by a grand mosque, to perpetuate
their own names as much as possible.
This ruling desire to be remembered by
coming generations explains the exist
ence of the great number of five hun
dred temples of worship in Cairo. Con
ceit, egotism, and self-glorification
not religion erected them. Passing
these monuments of men's weakness,
the route continues along a sandy wady
close to the Mokattam Hills. There in
the Red Mountain much valuable build
ing stone is quarried. Leaving the
hills we were fairly upon the desert
with nothing in view but: sand on all
sides and our little caravan of laughing
people. Taking the lead ropes from
the hands, of the Bedouin Arabs, we
whipped the dromedaries into a run to
test their speed and our ability to stand
the violent movement. When the
Arabs want to hasten the pace of the
camels they cry, "Hut, hut, hut!"
After once trying the trot it went so
well that we "hutted" until the Arabs
aud our slow moving dragoman were
far in the rear. .Readers who are fam
iliar with equestrianism, will compre
hend that the next day we -paid for the
"hutting" by an unlimited . amount of
stiffness of the spine.
.The Petrified Forest or rather the re
mains of it, is a slightly elevated plateau
covered throughout with pieces of stone
of various sizes. An examination
proves them all to be most perfect spe
cimens of petrified wood. Formerly
they were supposed to be of palm trees,
but recent scientific investigation has
concluded they are of some extinct
species. Among the cornelians, agates
and flint found with the petrified wood,
are many small shells, a fact which in
dicates the presence of water at some
unknown period. After examiningt he
ground the dromedaries were hobbled
and allowed to roam , while we enjoyed
a hearty lunch spread "upon the sand.
Our party was not sorry when nightfall
found the beasts prostrate to allow us
to dismount before the hotel.
The most important of all the sights
in and aground Cairo are the Pyramids
at Ghizen or Geezeh. Formerly the
route to them was tedions and wearying,
but now a good road extends the entire
distance. The drive is about two hours'
duration. Leaving the Esbekeeyah
and following new streets, the Nile is
crossed upon a fine iron bridge from
the village of Kasr-el-Nil to Boolak.
In the latter suburb the road passes
close to the Museum, the stables of the
Hooflaad's German Bitters.
During the warm season ths nerves become
enfeebled and the whole system debilitated.
The stomach loses its power of digestion, the
liver becomes congested and sluggish, causing
constipation or diarrhea, dysentery and chol
era morbus ; and the prevalence of more or
less malaria at this season engenders ague,
bilious or typhoid fevers, often of serious im
port To avoid iheae consequences, take,
night and morning, a lablespoonful of Hoof
land's German Bitters ; it is a splendid tonic
and alterative, that will restore the appetite

The closest attendant upon the whal
ing vessels Is the fulmar or mallemoke
(ProceZIaria yfaci'aZis), a petrel nearly as
large as a gull, and properly deuomi
nated "the ' bird of the storm," for it
seems to flit about on the crested waves
of a storm as easily as a duck upon a
pond. It follows the whaler for the
sake of such oortions of blubber as It
may get hold'of, and this impregnates
its body with oil to such an extent that
it even uses I it as a weapon of defense ;
and when captured, squirts it out In
jet of pure oily liquid over the person
who attempts to handle it. When shot,
too, if it falls into; the sea, a partial
calm arises ifrom the oil which pours
from its mouth. The capture of
whale always attracts a vast multitude
of fulmars, who afford an endless fund
of amusements by their greedy fights
over the largest pieces of blubber. The
right to these is disputed with hem by
the gull, th kittiwake and the snow
bird, in which the glaucus gull (Larus
glaveus) is at once the most powerful
and rapacious, on account of which
qualities is obtained the name of the
burgomaster; from the Dutch, that being
the name of their chief magistrate
whose authority no one dares to dispute
lie does not take the trouble to search
for food himself, but hovers in the air
until he sees some smaller bird in pas
session of some choice morsel which
appears unusually inviting to bini
when heat once descends and asserts
his right to the prize.
While Lord Coalstoun ilived in a
house in the Advocates Close, .ham
burgh, a strange accident one morning
befell him. It was at time the custom
for advocates and judges to dress them
selves in gowns, and wigs, and cravats,
at their own houses, and walk to the
Parliament House They, usually
breakfasted early, and, when dressed,
were in the habit of leaning over their
parlor windows, for a few minutes,
before St. Gile's bell started the sound-
ng peal of a quarter to nine, enjoying
the agreeable morning air and perhaps
illuMiasino- flip news of the dav. It so
happened one morning, while Lord
Coalstoun was preparing to enjoy ins
matutinal treat two girls who lived jn
Hib speond fiat above, were amusing
themselves with a kitten, winch, in
thoughtless sport they had swung over
tha window, hv a cord tied around its
middle, and hoisted for some time up
and down, till the creature was getting
rather desperate with its exertion. His
lordship had just popped his head out
of the window, directly below that trom
which the kitten swung, little suspect
ing, good easy man, what a danger im
pended, like a sword of Damocles, over
his head when down came theexasper
ated animal at full career directly upon
his senatorial wig. Xo sooner did the
girls perceive what sort Of landing place
their kitten hadfound, than in terror or
surprise they began to draw it up ; but
this measure was now too late, for along
with the animal.up also came the j tulge's
wir. fixed full in its determined talons
His Lordship's surprise, on nulling Ins
wig lllteu on nis ueau as iiiuuBiwm
ti ires redoubled , w h en on looki ng u p, he
perceived it on its way upwards, with
out any means visible to him oy wincn
its motion might be accounted lor. lhe
astonishment, the dread the awe almost
of the senator lielow the half-mirth,
half terror of the girls above together
with the fierce and retentive energy of
between altogether formed a
scene to which language cannot do jus
ti.V hut which Ge-yrsi Cruikshank
might perhaps have embodied with
considerable effect. It was a joke soon
explained and pardoned ; but assuredly
the perpetrators of it got many a length
ened injunction from their parents
npver mrain to fish over the wiridow
with such bait for honest men's wigs
"I wish you would not give me such
short weight for my money," said a
customer to a grocer who had an out
standing bill against him. "And I
wish you wouldn't give me such long
wait for mine," replied the grocer.
A jeweler being sent to prison, said
to the turnkey ; "If you'll let me out,
I'll sell your watch for you to good ad
vantage." "No, ho," responded the
turnkey ; 'instead of letting you sell
my watch, I'll watch your cell." .
Fish by the Square Mile.
Some faint idea of the vast and inex
haustible number of fish on our shores
may, perhaps, be obtained by a con
sideration of the fact that one day
recently no fewer than 6000 barrels of
a i . r T a.
thrones were cauani on jxewpon. ii
the- sea, through the Vineyard, and
Long Island Sounds, is anywhere near
. . . ... . 1 T r.
as ricn in porgies, mosouuuscis, mm
other varieties of the most abundant
kinds of fish, what an unimaginable
teeming world of life there must be be
neath the waves I And it Is, even more
than the striving, pushing world of
human life, a scene of rapacity and de
structionthe stronger preying upon
fh weaker and "the survival of the
fittest." Enormous as this catch of
porgies seems, it iB surpassed by some
of the big hauls of bony-fish or moss-
bunkers the "whitefish" or the evu
smelling fish oil mills on the shore.
These creature actually swarm in
millions and are caught and hauled in
by the cargo. Schools of voracious blue-
fish puisue and drive them nipping
and flashing to the surface, where they
are promptly pounced upon by the sail
ing fish hawks, and sea gulls that wait
for them out of water. In the sea and
on the land the world seems to be a
iiviu nf uhark and tieer. in one or
anothsr form of destructive rapacity.
Encouragement for tlie FeeW.
So long as the failing, embers of vitality are
capable of being' re-kindled into a warm and
genial glow, just so long there is hops for the

from this and from the further fact that there
is a restorative most potent in renewing the
dilapidated powers of a broken down system.
