" I temm&-i&6mmr of JUjAAVhrjr Store, utoftitm, NpF'TMBt 1 I Winter Egg-Production. To obtain a breed of fowls that are perpetual layers is the object that many aim at. This is an impossibility, for nature will exhanst itself and must have a period of rest. In order that we have a perpetual production of fresh eggs, the business must be arranged beforehand. There is a difference in breeds, some laying better than others at any time of the year, and others, again, will give their eggs in winter. There is little difficulty in obtaining eggs in summer, but the winter eggs must be worked for, and the fowls managed beforehand. Hens that have laid well during the summer cannot be depended upon for late fall or early winter, even if weU fed, but will generally commence in January and keep it up through Feb ruary and March, giving a good supply of eggs if not too old. But it is better not to allow such birds to go into the winter. They are generally fat, after having finished the annual moult, and should be killed for the table. After the second annual moult hens are apt to be come egg-bound, especially if well fed and fat. The excess of fat that accumu lates about the lower intestines and ovaries weakens these organs, and ren ders them incapable of performing their offices. Hence the fowl suffers and becomes profitless. When left too long the bird becomes feverish and the flesh is unfit for food. The better way is to avoid this trouble, since there is no cure, by not allowing the birds to go into the second winter. Trouble of this kind seldom occurs with pullets or young hens. To obtain a supply of winter eggs, we must have the chicks out in March or April. Leghorns and some. of the smaller breeds will do in May or the first of June, but the Brahmas and Cochins must come off early, that they may have the full season for growth. The Asiatics are generally good layers in winter, and need less artificial heat, as nature has not furnished them with any ornamental appendages which suffer by exposure to frost. For them it is not necessary to spend large sums in warm buildings. What they can dispense with in this respect they demand in feed, which must be given regularly. The combed varieties require warmer quarters and sunnier exposures than the Asiatics, and are good winter layers after December and early January. They will lay in the fall if early hatched, but the change of fall to winter, and the getting into winter quarters affects them, and they seldom commence again before the days begin to lengthen, at which time Brahmas will cease egg-production, and become broody. Where one has the eonvenienoe it is well to keep both kinds, in order to insure a supply of eggs. It is useless to expect many eggs from old fowls of any variety. Have the buildings ready early and the fowls of the right age and in condition to insure success. The business of our domestic hen is to produce eggs, and we must feed her for it. C. B, in Country Gentle' man. The Influence op Micbosoopio Life. What is too small to be seen is generally apt to be regarded with con tempt or indifference, as of no practical consequence. This is one of the grossest of popular errors. There is not only a profound scientific interest in the realm of microscopic life which is every day becoming deeper as its organisms are viewed from the standpoint of evolution, but they have a significance in the econ omy of nature, a usefulness to man and a value in the industrial arts, of which but few glimpses have been popularly obtained. To the inquiry, Of what serv ice are those swarms of infinitesimal ob jects which are revealed only through the microscope ! do they subserve any other purpose than to amuse infatuated microscopists ? the reply is, that their operations in nature are on a grand and imposing scale, and that their influence on man and other organisms, as well as on the air, the water, and the solid earth, is nothing less than enormous. Al though we do not see these infinitesimal creatures at work, their proceedings are none the less real; and though their op erations are infinitesimal, the aggregate results are vast and in the highest degree important. It may be shown 1. That, as food, they feed a greater number of beings than any other kind of organisms: 2. That, as scavengers, they eat more refuse than any other group of organ isms; 6. That, despite jtheir minuteness, their fossil remains are much greater in bulk and of far more consequence than those of larger quadrupeds and serpent like monsters, such as the mastodon, me gatherium, plesiosaurus, ichthyosaurus, etc. ; A. That, as builders, they have pro duced immense structures, which far surpass in size all the colossal works of man. The evidence ox these statements will be presently given : but meantime it may be remarked that such grand results redeem the study of microscopical ob jects from that pettiness which is often imputed to it. Scientific Monthly. A Pbbtty Sofa Cushion. To knit a simple but very effective sofa cushion, have a pair of bone knitting needles and double zephyr wool of three shades, say a handsome shade of red and white and black, or you may have French gray and bright crimson, or any other shades that yon may fancy. Cast on thirteen stitches. Knit across one plain, make one at the beginning of the next row by putting your worsted over yonr needle and knitting six stitches plain, then knit two together and knit the remaining plain; repeat the last row continually. This is all the pattern, and is is knit in rows as long as yon may desire. The length of the row will decide the number of rows. You will need to make it of good proportions. Join the rows by crocheting together with plain black crochet stitch in old gold and black. Little Edith (Mrs. Brown, a visitor, has just kissed her): "Mamma, I doesn't like womens one bit." Mamma: "Why, Edith, what do yon mean? Why not, darling?" Edith: "Cause womens is teaain' for tisses all 'e times." The Texas Fashion of Churning. I thought that I had seen a good many kinds of churns before I came down here crank churns, dasher churns, and "chemical churns." But I will now describe a mode of churning butter that will, I think, make New England folks open their eyes. Commonly, they do not make much butter in this country, and the settlers here come to get along without it; but by the time I had been at the poesta two or three days, I began to want some butter on my bread. M had a herd of 25 or 30 cattle, which he kept for beef, and among them a number of milch cows. Ed was bidden to set the milk for 24 hours; and the next morning M told Lizado, or "Liz," as we called him, to churn. They had done such a thing as to churn butter before, it appears. Liz went out and brought a bag of raw-hide, about as large as a common meal bag. How clean it was inside, I am sure I do not know; but he turned the cream into it, and poured in new milk enough to fill it two thirds full; and then he tied it up with a strong strip oi hide. M stood with a broad grin on his face. I was already too much aston ished to make any remarks. Liz now carried the bag out of doors, and then got his horse. Taking his lasso off the saddle, he made one end of it fast to the cream bag; the other end, as usual, be ing attached to a ring in the saddle. This done, he jumped on his horse and tucked spurs to him. Away he went, and at the first jerk that bag went ten feet in the air, and fell with a squanch, close at the horse's heels. At the next jerk it went higher still. He soon went out of sight, with the bag dancing after him. sometimes it hit down alongside the horse, and sometimes it struck slap on the animal s rump. M was con vulsed with laughter at me, 1 suppose; for 1 must confess that this upset all my previous ideas of butter-making. In tha course of 20 or 30 minutes Liz came back, the horse looking pretty hot, and the bag very dusty. "Es mantica" (butter come) , said he. Ed untied the churn, and sure enough, there was a good homely chunk of but ter in it, and it proved to be very decent butter, too. I asked if that was the way they always churned. They said it was, and Ed declared it was "a dale asier than turnin' a crank." So I respectfully sub mit the "method" to all our good people up North. Everything needed for it is a sole-leather bag, a clothes-line and a horse. Youth's Companion. The Pen Game in a Utah Camp Bing ham is a thriving camp of Utah miners. A dealer in patent pens recently made his appearance there, says the Salt Lake Tri bune, and offered to sell $5 notes for $2 50. A buyer made his appearance in an instant. Five-dollar notes selling for $2 50 the excitable portion of the camp were wild. The pen advertising medium placed 100 $1 bills, 10 $5 bills, one $50 bill, and one $100 bill, all iu separate envelopes in a box, and added a number of blanks, to equalize the percentage, the operator claiming that it was no game, only a means contrived by himself for the adver tisement of his pens, which, when once used, could not be done without. Tbe principle of the game was : One dollar for a box of the celebrated Parker pens and a chance in the money box. To say that chances were taken would be superfluous. Men who has been counted among the "dead broke" of the camp for years shell ed out as though they were young bonan zas. Animated by the same spirit, all classes vied in their efforts to attract the f.ye of the pen man. Gamblers, miners, mechanics, preachers, stale old citizens, and, we regret to say, juvenile members of the Sunday School class all clamored loudly for a box of the celebrated pens and a grab at Ihe treasure box. The ex citement was only increased by the opera tor's voice: "Out with your weasel skins; down with kale seed; no catchpenny about me, boys. I am advertising with my jaw, and notmy pert' (shaking tbe box), "and this is how I do it.'' Well, to tell the truth, he broke the camp but be left us plenty of pens. Men who never wrote bought from $40 to $50 worth of pens. Men of families bought pens enough to last their posterity down to the fifth gen eration. Large consumers in this and adjoining Territories will profit by having their orders filled at Bingham. Judging a Senatob by His Looks. Judge Mackey (Bep.) from South Caro lina, was sitting in the gallery ot the Senate when a sharp-faced, razor-strap-looking fellow said to him: "Mister, can you point out to me that infernal Hamburgh murderer, JJutier, of outh Carolina ?" "Certainly," said the polite Judge; "and I will point ont, also, other notables of the Senate. Don't you see that handsome Senator with light, curly hair. Well, that is Conkling; and the gray-headed, bright-looking max near him is Blaine: that large Senator is Judge Davis, of Illinois; and over there is Gen. John a. uordon taiKmg to Lamar. Don't you see that bald headed man?" pointing to Senator Edmunds; "well, that is Butler, of South Carolina." The eyes of our Yankee friend were lighted up with indignation as ne re plied: "Yes, I could have picked him out of a thousand" adding a good deal that was not complimentary to the distinguished Vermonter. The other day Senator Edmunds came over on the Democratic side, when Mr. Vest said: "Edmunds, Hampton has a good joke on yon," and the gallant Carolinian was forced to tell the whole story. Senator Edmunds laughed heartily, and re marked that it was a compliment to be taken for so handsome a man as Gen. Butler. The fact, however, is that Mr. Edmunds' face strongly indicates justice and wisdom, with no trace of mercy in it, unless when he is talking to Mr. Thurman or some personal favorite, and then it is as genial and pleasant as possible. Christ will come and tbe millenium be gin in September, 1881, according to the calculations of Mr. Re v. Rounds, an Ad ventist of Portsmouth, N. H.f who has devoted seven years to figuring out the matter on a chart 200 feet long. Loving the Prairies And Who Does Not? Do yon suppose that men ever learn to love the prairies ? That is as they love the mountains? Love them so they grow homesick away from them? So their hearts live in the prairies and throb anew at the sight of them, and ache with a dumb longing for them when they leave them, and grow to them as the heart of the mountaineer grows to his hills ? Well, they do. You will find men out here who are infatuated with these fertile plains; who could not be lured to live away from them. I have a friend in Lamed, Kansas Major Inman of the Chronoscope who is a type of the true sons of the prairies. I have asked him the same questions I have asked in the foregoing paragraph. " Love the prairies," he cried, his fine face mantling with a glow of genuine en thusiam, "I worship them. I live in tender and affectionate awe of their im mensity. We dwellers of the prairies live between two heavens, one of match less green beneath our feet, and one of the fadeless blue above our heads, and circling around us we see them fade into each at the horizon. I ride over the prairies, I drink in the clear pure air laden with health and life, the free winds blow in my glad face; there is more ex hilaration in a gallop across our prairies than there is in champagne, and there is no headache nor heartache in the ride. The world stretches itself out before me, and a great, wide, unbounded world, full of room and freedom. You shut me up in some little, narrow contracted val ley, with the great mountains frowning down upon me every time I look out, and I would smother. Resplendent with beauty the valley mifdit be, the beauty of gray rocks, the dainty ferns, and velvet mosses and sparkling cascades and pipe-crowned hills, but I could not breathe in it. I would tire of climbing and toiling like a worm up the steep hillside, and my heart would ache for my broad free prairies, with the spring ing turf under my mustang's flying hoofs, and the winds of Kansas kissing my face. Hurdette in Mawkeye. Russian Customs. The Russians have some curious cus toms for instance, their funerals. When a man dies, a priest comes and takes pos session of the room in which he lies. The room is darkened and a number of can dles lighted, the priest continuing to mutter his prayers until the funeral takes place. The body is oarried to the church where the relations come and take the hand of the deceased, asking pardon for any offenses they have given him in life. A paper is put into his hand, testifying that he was an honest man and a member of the Greek Church. When he is put into the ground and the grave filled, food is placed near it for the purpose of propitiating the spirit. Drunkeness and disorder frequently prevail at this ceremony. Their mar riages are also singular. They are al ways in a church at the door of which the priest meets the couple and kisses their hands, at the same time giving them his benediction. They follow him to the altar, and a crown, light, and gen erally made of silver, is placed upon their heads. This is called the marriage crown. He puts a wax taper in each of their hands and reads a portion of Scrip ture; a sweet and bitter drink, emble matical of the joys and sorrows of mar ried life, is given to each. The whole service lasts about an hour, and ends by the bride and bridegroom, with all the spectators, follow the priest around the altar three times. When a merchant gives a dinner, he and his wife stand be hind the chairs of their guests and wait upon them, receiving the dishes from the servants and placing them upon the table. Every time one of the guests asks for more sweetening in the wine the merchant must march round the table, meet his wife and salute her. When a newly-married couple, this ceremony, from the frequency of its being required, often becomes fatiguing to the parties. Beautiful Extract. The following beautiful extract is from a lecture by Professor Mitchell, the astronomer: God called man in dreams into the vestibule of heaven, saying, "Come up hither, and I will show thee tbe glory of my house." And to his an gels who stood about his throne, he said, "Take him, strip him of his robes oi flesh; cleanse ms anections; pat a new breath into his nostrils; bat touch not his human neart tne heart that fears, and hopes, and trembles." A moment and it was done, and the man stood ready for his unknown voyage, under the guidance of a mighty angel, with sounds of flying pinions, they sped away from the battlements ot heaven. Some time, on the mighty angel's wings, they fled through Saharas of darkness, wilderness of death. At length, from a distance not counted save in the aritnmetic oi neaven, a light beamed upon them a sleepy flame, as through a cloud. Tbey aped on, in their terrible speed, to meet the light; the light, with lesser speed, came to meet them a moment, the wheeling of planets; then came long eternities ot twilight; then again, on the rignt nana ana ieic. ap peared more constellations. At last, tne man sans aown, crying, "Angei, I can go no further; let me lie down in the grave and hide myself from the infinitude of the Universe, for end there is none." "End is there none?" demanded the angel again; "and is it this that awes thy soul? I answer, end there is none to the Universe of God. Lo, also there is no beginning." Corvallis Gazette.

Polilikoff, editor of the Molva, a moderate journal, the organ of the educated commercial classes, was ordered to attend at Gen. Gourko's office. Arriving at the appointed hour, he was conducted into the Chancellerie. A gendarme appeared, ordered him to stand to attention, ranged himself beside him, and held him by the sleeve of his coat, as if in custody. A door opened, and the frowning military dictator ap peared, and thus addressed the captive journalist: "Your conduct of your paper has obliged me to send for you. Shonld I have to do so again your journal will be suppressed, and yon will incur very serious personal conse quences." Next (to the gendarme) "March out, and dismiss the prisoner." The Qolos, the most intelligently con ducted journal in Russia, has been sus pended for five months.
