For aye aomething or ither'j wrong,
And sets mo back in winning.'
'If I were Jnet tome bonnie flower
Upon jour breast reclining,

And make eome apesd in wooing.
' Oh lassie, if I only knew

In Love's most attest beguiling,
Perhaps then when I came to woo
I too might find you smiling.

For bird or flower to tarry ;

contains a tullicieuey of fatty or odv

tains just what is wanted as a flesh

oleaginous matter, so that it is a con

supplies tho animal growth with all it
needr, while the hay, tho straw and the
turnips with which, in Eugland, it is
mixed, supplies the bulky carbonaceous
matter that is needed to fill up the

the system absorbs all the nutritive

Of all tho blunders that the common
fe.rmer, aud some others, make with
trees, none is 60 comrnou or so hurtful,
and which is so long rinding out, an.i
which ho might know to certainly, as
the practice of cutting off lower limbs.
All ovr-r the country nothiug is mire
c immon tliaa to fcee mutilated trees on
alnicnt every farm b'g limbs cut ;ff
near tho body of the tree, and, of courne,
rotting to the heart. Tho very liruls

nl iVHyfl t:ikes place whi n a big limb in
sawed off too big to heal over, it mnt-t
rot, and being kept raoiyt by the grow
ing tree, is in the right condition to rot,
and, being on the body, tho rotting goes
to the heart and hurts the whole tree.
It is common all over the coautry to see
lare orchards mntilrted in this way.
We oflea see Lo!cs in the trees wheie
big limbs have been cnt away, where
qu:rrla and even racooons can crawl
in. Perhaps the only reason these
trimmers would give is, that lower limbs
were easier got at, and come would pay

tree.

on the cost of a windmill, and a fodder

stormy and disagreeable days are chosen
to cut up straw for this purpose, an
abundant supply can bo male. A broad
axe can be purchased for $'2 SO, and with
this and a block, a sheaf of straw may
bo cut into 3 inch chaff, in half a min
ute. Two porsous, cue to hold the theaf
on the block or plunk, and the other to
use the ax, would soon cut up a ton of

Sheep should have better care in early
winter than fnrintrs are in the habit .(

If sheep go into wiuier quaiters in a
declining state, the result is a dematd
or extra feed and euro euriogthewiuttr
and a light clip of wool in tho tpring.
When a sheep is thriving, wool grows
rapidly; wheu a sheep is declining the
growth is checked. If kept fat, large
fleece; if kept poor, a light one. Sheep
should havea little grain eveiy day from
the time grass begins to fail iu the fall
until it has a good start in the spring. 1
would rather my sheep would have a
gill of rn or oats per day from the
middle of November till April, than a
pint a day from January till June.
There should be one object constantly
before the niiad of the flcekmaster, ana
that is to keep his sheep in a thriving
condition.
Shelter ia one of the first objects in
winteiiug sheep successfully. Farmers
often condemn bams and sheds as un
healthy places for shefp, when it is a
want of ventilation that does the injury.
It is no argument ngamst housing, be
cause eome people keep thein so poorly
ventilated as to injure their health. Xor
is it an argument against shelter for
stock, because it is improperly used. 1
am no believer iu having sheep shut up
too closely; I like warm, comfortable
quarteis lor them at rrgLt, but thty

Edison's Latest Electric Light.
It is somewhat strange that carbon.
ihe only sabstaace of Bny value for the
contact surface of telephone transmit
ters, should also prove to be the only
substance suited to the light giving
portion of electric lamps. The produc
tion of an electric light by the incan
descence of platinHm is, for the present
at least, laid aside by Mr. E lison for
the more promising and more satisfac
tory carbon. Not the carbon so fam
iliarly known in connection withe lee'ric
lighting, but a new articlo having
different qualities, and remarkable both
for the simplicity of the process by
which it is made, and ita fti iency as a
light-giving body wheu raised to incan
descence by the passage of an electrical
current.
The discovery of this new form of
carbou was partly accidental, but more
the result of Mr. Elisou's faculty of
reizing on the slightest suggestion and
following it as long as it invites investi
gation. The first carbon prr pared by Mr.
E lison fcr this purpose was formed of
a thread enveloped in a paste made of
lampblack and tar, and carbonized by a
high temperature. This carbou thread,
although not remarkably successful,
gave sufficient encouragement to war
rant further iuvestigatiou in tho same
direction. After the trial of a number
of other substances it was determined
that the best of all was paper, simple
plain paper, without lampblack or other
applications. In making these cirbons
the quality of cardboard or paper kuowu
aa Bristol-board is need.
The manufacture of these little car
bou 'horseshoes,' as they are called at
Mr. Edison's laboratory, is very simple.
The paper blanks, after being cut by
dies in the form of a horseshoe, about
tho size of the periphery of a silver
dollar, are subjected o heat snfH.'iently
strong to drive off by destructive distil
lation all volatile matter. The paper
horseshoes thus prepared are placed
with alternate layers of tissue paper in
shallow iru boxes, and weighted down
with tin plates of ordinary carbon.
These boxes are closed by tight-fitting
covers and placed in a mufll, when
thty are raised to a high temperature,
which is maintained for a considerable
time, until the horseshoes are reduced
to the size of a commou thread. Tuo
only index of the completion of the
process is the crackling of the oxide
formed ou tho exterior of the iron boxes.
After cooling the carbons are remeved
irom tho iron boxes and placed between
the jiws of small platinum vises, wh:h
arc supported ou thiu platinum wires
blowu in the glass base and forming the
electrode. A portiou of the glass base
an I tho carbou aud its supports aro
inclosed iu a gla8 bulb, from which the
air is so completely exhausted by means
of a Sprengel pump that only a millionth
part of tuo original volume remains.
Mr". Edison has improved the Sprengel
pump bo that high vacua may be pro
duced in twenty-live miuntes instead of
the forty five honr.-s c msumed in tho
operation by some of our physicists.
The vacuum is so nearly perfect that
none of the tests to which tho lamps
hive been subjected so far, iudictte the
presence of the slightest trace of air.
The electrical resistance of the slender
carbon horseshoe is 100 ohms, and,
while the lamp is itittcded to allord
light equivalent to a 6incle four-foot eras
jet, it may be forced to give a light j
equal to that of eight or teu sufh jets.
We caw a single lamp of this kind that
enabled us to read tho American 100
feet away. Tuis was certainly an extra
ordinary piece of carbon having a sur
ftca no larger than that o! a thread.
The caibon is very tough and flexible,
and not liable to bo broken or injured
by jars. We saw one of the carbon
horseshoes nearly straightened before it
broke. The carbon not only withstands
rough mechanical usage; it is also proof
against injury by the sud leu turning on
and off of the electric curront. One of
hese carbons has been subjected to the
severe test of applying and removing
the electric enrrent a number of Units
equivalent to thirty-six years of actual
daily use, and yet the c irbou is net the
least impaired.
The horseshoe f Tin ot the carbon has
a great advantage over the straight
pencil or tho voltaio are, the light being
more diffused, and therefore softer aud
tfiollcwer, casting no sharp black shad
ows, nor giving such an intense light as
to bo painful to the eyes. The l'ght
resembles that of a gas jet excepting iu
the matter of steadiness, the eleotric
light being perfectly uniform and steady.
The lamps are connected in multiple
arc, f. r,, the two wires leading from
the electrical generator run parallel to
eaea other, and the lamps are placed
between aud connected with each wire.
As Mr. F. lison has his arranged it does
not make the slightest difference, so far
as the lamps are ooncernel, whether
ouo or fifty of them are in use; it does
moke a difference, however, in the
power consumed at the geuerator. The
regulation of the current is reduced to
the s 'tuple nutter of varying the in-t.-nsity
of tho magnotio field iu whic
tho armature of the generator revolves.
The entire lighting apparatus of a
house, store, 111 ;e, or factory, oonsisti
in the lamps and a tew wires. There
are no regulators, no complicated
switches uo resistance oils to replace
the lamps when the latter ara not in
use. Tha lamp, in its preseat form,
is as pimple as a candle, aud candle-like
itmiy be taken from its socket aud
repUce 1. This may be done while the
cirrent is on.
The la-np ha attached to its electrodes
slip of copper strip, and does not form
i part of tho electrical conductor until
it is touche i by th? thumb acrew; this
"crew being eonueoted with the second
clortrieal conducting wir.- To start
the light it is ODly naeessary to trtrn
the currant being auppliad from on of
bla macbinM. Each lamp give elear,
soft light equal to that of a four foot
the t orew until it touches the spring.
To atop the light the screw is turned iu
the reverse direction. From this it will
be seen that the eleotrio lamp is man
aged easier than a gas burner, as it
requires neither lighting nor regulating.
On the evening of our visit to Mr.
Edison's laboratory, ho had more than
thirty of these simple lamps in operation,
gas burner. These lamps had already
been in continued operation for more
than forty-eight hours, and they had
seen altogether as much nse aa they
would in thirty days of ordinary domes
tic or business service The light
certainly leaves nothing to be desired
so far aa its efficiency is concerned, and
we are assured by Mr. Edison that, on
tho score of cheapness or economy, his
system of illumination is far in advance
of any other, not excepting gas at the
cheapest rates. It seems that the sub
jeotof the general electric lighting ia
now reduced to a mere question of
time. If Mr. E lisou's lamps s and the
test of time, he has unquestionably
solved the vexed question which hi s
produced what the world lias long
waited for, that is, an economical and
practical system of electric lighting
adapted to tho wants of the masses.

Ferocity of a Fenale Mob,
A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, writing from Callao, Peru,
says: Upon the news announcing tho
loss of the Pisagua, an unfounded ru
mor was circulated in Lima and Callao
to the effect that the Chilian soldiery
had treated Peruvian women wi'h gross
brutality. This rumor spread like wild
fire, and finally the streets were filled
with abandoned Peruvian women, and
with the lower classes of both sexes.
A large number of native Chilian women
reside here aud iu Lima, many of them
being married to foreigners, wnileothers
belong to the abandoned order. A cry
was raised of 'Death to tho Chilenosl'
and a rush was made for the quarter
where tho latter class of Chilian women
live. Upward of twenty or thirty of
them were ruthlessly seized by the in
furiated mob of viragos, stripped of
their clothing, dragged through the
streets by the hair, and pelted with
rocks until they were in a frightful con
dition of suffering.
Two or three were jumped upon,
kicked, cut and otherwise mangled, and
left lifeless in the street without any
covering over their bodies. After turn
ing over about six y Chilian womeu to
the provost guard, the mob made a rush
for the Hotel do Iquiquc, whero re
spectable Chilian womou live. There
the same scenes were enacted aa before,
if not worse, as by this time tho viragos
were inflamed by liquor and wore en
couraged by a Urge number of the na
tional guard, who were mingled among
the crowd, aud were also under the in
fluence of intoxicants. Whit wero tho
authorities doing while this hellish work
was in progress may be asked. Nothing,
At last, when the captain of the post
concluded that theee riotous demonstra
tions were increasing iu magnitude, and
when ho saw that the mob waa com
nuncing to plunder, ho ordered a com
pany of troops to clear the bireets.
This force, under the sub-prtfect, made
a charge with fixed bayonets on the
mob, which .i now congregated abuui
the plazi on the Calle de Constitucion.
Tuis charge was effectual in scattering
the mob of women, who, as they fled,
dropped their prey, which consisted ol
a dozen teiror stricken Chiliau women
completely denuded. These were taken
by the authcrities aud placed in the
Cuartel, with a strong guard over them
to protect them from further violence.
In all, about one hundred Chilian
women wero iu the hands of the mob,
and bad it not been for the soldiery,
even though they were tardy in render
ing assistance, many would have mtt
with a cruel and barbarous death. The
male portion of the populace did not
take any active part in the disorders,
but they were abettors of the mob, pas
sively looking on, and not attempting
to quell these acts. A number of the
Chilian women took refuge on foreign
shipping, while others clung to their
husbands ou the thresholds of their own
doors, being tho wives of foreigners
and entitled to tho same protection as
their busbauds from their respective
governments. Very little h s been said
about this disgraceful affair by the Po
ruviau journals, and when it has been
noticed it has been smoothed ov r as a
popnlat warning to the authorities to
remove the Chilenus on the ground of
morality aud public safety.

where the braveet of the brave took the

said the congressman, you have re

nobie soldier's death, but I know that
the iuoident which has given ma fo
much remorse did not occur in that
part of the battle-field. I saw a Union
