LIVERMORC & ELLIS 1 HO Ait 1 KTO ItH A Claad la the Sky The United atatca as a iSation is looiniiiL'. r.vcrv Ueparuncnt oi in dustry is prospering wonderfully; from farm, workshop, miuo every where, the report come that, as u icople, tho inliauilaiilfl ot tbe Unilod States aro prospering execed- mt;ly. There is but one tiotti in tn sky, one tliiiig which threaten tho luttiro peace and integrity of tho country. Swiftly, more swiftly than tho people- generally realize, the wealth of the eountrv ti being gath ered into corporations, and the lands aro being absorbed in great estate. hon a man owns more land than ic can cultivate, then a wrong : be ing perpetrated upon every poor man wlio needs, but lias not, a garden. aud the tendency of oggregaled cap ital is like that ot accumulated enow. t may melt quietly, and with its distribution make a harvest lor the poor in tho valleys below, or it may take on tbe attribute of the ava anche and aecp everything before Tho particular corporations which are becoming a terror to the country are railtoad corporations. In fitly years they have become so tcr rible a jowcr that now one can count on one's fingers tho men who are almost more potent than the Gov. eminent itnclf. They are so con nected with men's everyday business that to patronize them is an ataolule necessity. Kailroads are tho imper ative needs of the modern world. Ono cati purvuo neither business nor pleasure without them, and benco it s not strange that they absorb the bulk of the prodts of the country. n fifty years thev have become aocn a racoace to free rovcrnmcnt that in a little while more it will be neces sary for the Government in sheer seludcfcnse to appraise and condemn the great trunk lines, liut the oan- 'tr lrom land monopoly is even more insidious than that from rail road monooIy. An outraged com munity can rUe up and build an op position railroad, but when a few men have scvorod tho titled to all the land, what can bo done then? 1'he respective conditions of Ireland and France to day reveal the differ encc which comes between a people tilling their own soil aud paying cnt to landlords for forbidden acres. The wrong existed in France until the unspeakable sorrows of the people culminated in a fearful revo lution. When tho dreadful bath of blood which followed washed the misU from the eyes of tho people, ther tailed a law that made wills and testaments of real property of no effect. The result is that one-fourth of tho population of Franco are owuerx of real estate, and France has the mo-t prosperous, patriotic and happy people in Europe. It is natural lisat it should bo so. There is nothing that makes the heart of men so cling to a country as to icei that their little children are at play under the trees which they the fathers planted. This country can be made the same way. it can vq done oeaceahlv it the remedy is applied soon: if, in our carelessness. the matter is leu to unit on anoincr fiftv vcan. it will require blood baths ncrc. a it uiu in rrancc, iv viiji mcifs vUion?.

Onions are eaten to a greater extent than any garden vegetable raised with the exception of cabbages. "With tnanr they servo tho double purpose of food and condiment. Some persons who ab hor their odor and dislike their taste eat them beciriAe tliev aro nutritions and conducive to healtn. In xnanv portions of Europe where land is scarce, and poo pie desire to produce all the food from it ther can. onions are raised to a large ex tent. They take the place or batter and cheese in supplying a resVli to coarse bread. They are sliced io vinegar and eaten raw. made into sc-ap, and cooked boiling aad frring. In the warm eoun- tries ot .Southern Earope onions tale the place of cabbages and potatoes to a great extent. It is somewhat singular that onions are not fed in considerable quantities to poultry and all kinds of live stock. Fowls of all varieties are extremely fond of them, asd derive great benefit from eating them. Beside serving all the purpose of true rood, tiiey sua dictation and lend i ward off disease. They may be fed raw or cooked. Cluckaaa will eat cot only the bulbs, but tbe leaves when chipped sp and mixed with dough. Chickens that are allowed onions pre pared in this way rarely, if ever, are troubled with the cholera. Chickens that eat onions are not likely to be in feat&l br vermin. One of the best kinds of food for laying hens during the winter consists of cooked meat, potatoes and o si ens. O u ions are cheat er than pepper to feed to poultry, aad tiiey answer the sazao purposes. .Unot all kinds ox stock are zomt oi onions, and there is generally consider able diXcaltr in keeping them from eat ing them. Of course they shoala not ue fed to milk cows, owing to the dor aad flavor ther impart to miltbut other kinds of stock mar eat onion, not only w.i'joat detriment, bat with great advantage. All animals delight in condiments, and there is nothing in the line ot relishes i&as they will eat as readily as they will onions. r or young stock they snouid oe cnippen up and fed with grain and meal, bat for lsrre animals they require no prepara tion. Onions that are large enough to be salable in season when they are tolerable high are expensiva food for stock, bat there aro alwava many that are too, sraaii or ill ahard to sell. ----- M . . . . To crow onions on a large scale to au- vantage the ground shoald be prepared in the fall, as the seed should bo planted almost as soon as the frost leaves the soil in the spring, is onions are grow feed ers tho land on which they arc p'anted should be very heavily matured.

Watch WatehlBi. Having olitalned a reallr serviceable article, yon shoald, in order to produce satisfactory results, follow out these rales: Wind up your watch every day ltholVtL" done at the hour we retire to rest; or, perhaps better still, tho hour wo rise! Avoid putting a watch on a marble slab or anything excessively cold. The sudden transition from heat to cold contracting the metal may sometimes ran.no the main-spring to break. In deed, the cold coagulates tbe oil; and tho wheel work and pivots working les freely affect the regularity of the time-keeper. When we lay our watch aside we ought to slope it on a watch cose, so as to keep it nearly in the same position as it has in the pocket. In laying aside your watch be sore that it rests on its case, as by sus pending it free the action of the balance may cause oscillation, which may con siderably interfere with its going. If you would keep your watch clean yon must be quite sure that Uki case fit firmly, and never pet it into any pocket bat one made of leather. Those pockets which are lined with cloth, cotton or cal ico give, by the eoaat&nt friction, a cer tain quantity of null, which enurs most watches, even those the cases of which shut firmly. If the watch is not a "keyless one. the key shoald be small, in order that we mar feel the resistance of the stop work; then wa eaa stop in time without forcing anything. It is also nttxasary that the sqsare of the key should cor respond wiUt that of the watch. If it be too large, it may in a short time cauj-e tbo wind up square to suffer from. undue wear and tear; tee rectifying of which is rather expensive. The hands of an ordinary watch can be turned backward without much risk. It is, however, always "better to move tho hands forward to adjast your watch to correct time. A skillful watchmaker one dar thru rs&coned with a enstosoer who complained of watch: "You complained" said be. that oa- watch gains a minute iaa ra.alix. We!L then, yens will congiata- late yourself when you have heard me. lou are aware that in jour watch the balance, which is the regulator, makes five oscillations every second, which is focr hundred andthirtv-r-ro thousand a day; so that your watch exposed to all the Txristtades oi heat aed cold, the varying w h;ht of the air, and the shak ing to wbicu it is subjected, to, has not varied more than a minute a mouth, or two seconds a da v. It has oaly aoiuircd with each vibration of the balance a va riation of the two hundred ami sixteen thousandth part of a second. Judge, then, what must be the extreme perfec tion of the mechanism of this watch. A watch cannot go for an indefinite period without being repaired or clean ed. At the expiration of a certain time tho oil dries up, dnst accumulates and wear arid tear are inevitable results to the whole machinery, the functions be coming irregular, and frequently ceas ing to act altogether. A person pos sessing a watch of good quality, and desirous of preserving it as such, should have it cleaned, every two rears at least. Hat care should be taken to confide this cleaning or repairing to careful hands; an incapable workman may do great injury to a watch even of the simplest construction. An ExtraerCIaury Cerref-teaskace. A correspondence with hair was once attempted between a notorious Parisian thf in durance vile and his ccroradea oabdde. A lelior wax seat to the pris oner from his sweetheart, containing merelv a lock of hair wrapped in tho leaf of a book. The jailor did not consider the souvenir important enough to be de livered; but in a few days there came a similar iaclosure. aad yet another. This aroused suspicion, and the governor took the matter in hand. He examined tho leaf of tho book; it was that of a common novel, twentr-six lines ou a page. Then he studied the hair and noticed tho small quantity of tho gift. Counting the hairs, he found them of unusual length, and tweaty-six. in number, tho same as the lines on the page, b truck with the coincidence, he Laid tho hairs along the lines of tho page which they respectively reached; begin ning at the top with tho smallest hair. tho After some trouble ho found that tbe end prudently concludes that with our pres of each hair pointed to a different letter, ' est imperfect knowledge on this sb- and that the letters combined formed a stroag sentence which informed the prisoner that his friends were on the watch, and that the next time bo left the prison to be examined an attempt wo old be made to rescue him. The governor laid his plans accordingly. The attempt was Buxde, bat the rescuers fell into tfcstr own trap. a from tho common garden caooage ttaat According to the London Telegraph, is they have succeeded in extracting from ono of the greatest boons to miner, en i rod cabbage, or broccoli, a colcria mat tho score of safety, is tho new miser's ter which is claimed to be absolutely ia lamp, ia which the light of phosphores- i offensive, and capable of applicatioa ia ceace is substituted for that of positive all the ordinary operations of psuBtiag, ignition.

Twenty lights, extending the work to Ulackfriars Bridge, were added in May, 1879, and ten more were put oh Waterloo Bridge in October last; ten lighU have also been put in the Vic toria .Railway station. All of the lights on the embankment have beets kept in operation regularly far six hours each night since they were first started a fact that is worthy of con sideration when it is borne in eilaxi that the machinery was originally arranged for twenty lights only, with no thought that the system was to bo extended, and that the change rendered necessary by each of tfee two extensions have bad to be made without interfering with the daily ef- , ficiency of the apparatus. Tho price paid by the Board ot Works was, as ' first Gd. per light per hour it was , red nceu to 5d. in the first, and 3d. ; on tho second extension, and has again been reduced on the renewal , of the contract to 2d. per light per hour.

Trautwine, wis has experimented considerably witk building mate rials, says on this poiai that a rather soft brick will crush under a weight of from 430 to GOO pounds par square inch, or about 30 to -40 toss pec square foot, while a rst-rato maehiae presscd brick will require from 300 tt 400 tons per square foot. This last is about the crushing limit of the best sandstone two-thirds as msch as the best marbles or roofing slates. Bet masses of brickwork, he notes, will crush under much smaller loads thaa single bricks. In some English experi ments, referred to by this author, small cubical masses only 9 inches oa each. edge, laid in cement, crushed under 27 to 40 tons per square foot. Others, wilk piers 9 inches square and 2 feet 3 xaclses high, xn cement, only two days after be ing built, required' 41 to G2 toss per square foot to crash them. Another, of pressed brick, in best Portland ceaaeat, is said to hare withstood 202 tons par square root, and with common line eot tar onlr one-fourth as much. The same authority, however, is care ful to add the statement that cracking and splitting usually commence uader about cofr-half tbe crushing loads. To . be safe, he recommends that the load should not exceed one-eighth or o&e tenth of the crabbing load; and so also with stone. Moreover, he notes theea experiments were made with low matves, bat the strength decreases as the prvroc tion of the height to thickness increases. He cites the following examples: Use pressure at the base of a brick shot tower in Baltimore, 246 feet high, is es timated at six and a half tons per square foot; and in a brick chimney at Glasgow, Scotland, 46S feet high, at nine toss. Prof. TUnkin calculates that in heavy gales this pressure is increased to fifieea tons on the leeward side. The walla of both are, of course, much thicker at the ! bottom thaa the top. With walls 18 feet high, of uniform thickness, tha , pressure at the base would be five aad four-tenths tons per square looc ue feet, it cannot be safe to expose ere a first-class pressed brick work, in cessest, to more than- twelve or fifteen toss per . square foot; and good haad-molded bricks to more than two-thirds as saaeit. , Experiments made in France by JOT.
