There was a cootl deal of bitternoss manifested between the sleeping car con ductor and the peanut boy over the ques tion of which odo was the person to whom the honor was tendered.

Last year our onion crop showed unmistakable signs of the muggot ; I im mediately had the piece dressed with soot. Heavy rains set in just after, and soon the onions were on their legs and tho maggots gone Flecks, or "White Caps" in Cream. Flecks are generally supposed to be pieces of dried cream, and pos libly they are sometimes, but usually tuey are not, for occasionally they exist before any cream rises, and sometimes are mingled with butter made by processes of cold setting in which tho cream remains soft, no port of it being dried at all. They seldom appear, however, in bnttor made by cold setting; they are mostly louiia in butter madu in dairies where the milk is sot without any other cooling than that of the air in the room where the milk stands. For the most part they are developed iu milk after it comes from the cow. By quickly cooling milk to a low degree, chungo is so mucu arreston that thev cannot develop, ihey can only form within certain limits of tern peiuture. and when they do, are likely to appear as plentifully in tho milk as in the cream, and olten more so, wuicu is evidence adverse to their boing origi nated from dried cream. In milk which is in a perfectly normal condition they never appear. Xliey always occur in milk which is more or less faulty. They are very apt to accompany an enflamed state of the udder, and seldom or never nimoars without it. When milk is all right, the surfaco of tho cream may be exposed to ourrents ot dry air umu 11 becomes quite dry and hard, without showing any indication of "white caps, as thev ure sometimes called. The dried cream, when mixed with tho rest and well stirred up, soon becomes soft, and churns the same as the rest. But when milk, which is a little feverish, or in some othor way faulty, is thus exposed to the air without being hrst well cooled, flecks will be pretty sure to show them selves in numbers proportioned to the exposure. Whenever flecks are liable to be doveloped.thore can, with the aid of a microscope, be seen in tho milk small sneoks of Bolid mutter with fragmentary shapes which form tho nucleus of the flecks. When such milk is set in a glass vessel and kept without much cooling these specks can be soon to enlarge by tho coagulation and adhesion of tho milk in contact with thorn. Sooner or later thev swell from eas forming within them, and becoming lighter tnan tue milk, riso toward the surface and more or less of thorn boeoino imbedded iu the soft cream. When they form in the milk they are almost composed of curd, but when formod in tho cream they are very rich in cream, having as much, and perhaps moro, cream . iu their composi tion, as curd.

The Boman mint of old Pontifical days, where the gold which the contractors of the re cent Italian loan sre sending, is being coined into national money, and which is situated against tho wall of tho Vatican gardens, is now being guarded by both Italian and Pontifical soldiers. On ac count of the unusually large amount of precious metal lying there, tho Italian government a few days ago placed an etucient guard on tho spot. It is noi stated that the Poje, possibly induced by the fact that thieves might penetrate into the mint through the garden, and the responsibility be thrown on the Vati- cau authorities, has, by way of precau tion, ordered a picket of Pontifical gen darmes to parade night and day that iart of tue garden where the treasure bouse is located.

The Eyesight of Headers. A writer calls attention to tho danger which readers run of injuring their eye sight by the uso of a bad l:ght. He remarks that engravers, watchmakers and others, who use tho eyes constantly in their work, take extra care to preserve them by getting the best possible light by day, and using the best artificial light at night. The great army of readers are cureless, and have, sooner, or luter, to pay the penalty of their carelessness by giving np night work entirely, and some times reading, except at short intervals, and under tlie best conditions. All de partures from common type, making the mutter dnhenlt to take in increases the danger. Tho magnitude of the physical labor of reading is not appreciated. A book of 500 pages, forty lines to the page, contains 1,000,000 letters, all of which the eve has to tike in, identify and combine each with its neighbor. Yet many a reader will go through such a book iu a dav. The task is one ho would shrink from if ho should stop to meas ure beforehand. Tbe best positions and the best lights, clear type, plain inks, with tho lest paper of yellowish tints, and abundant space between the lines, afford the safeguards against harm.

In gathering apples from the trees to store away for winter use, provide your self with a strong, light ladder, some two feet wide at the bottom and tapering to a point at the top, the two ends to be beveled together aud pinned; this stylo of ladder being more easy to handle and pluce among the top blanches of a tree than the ones commonly used and not so much dunger of knocking oil the fruit A half-bushel basket, make of white-oak splints, with single handle extending from side to side, and a strong hook fastened thereto: to hang up by on the limbs, answers the tmrposo best. In picking, take hold of the apple, and by a gentle twist of tho hand it will separate readily from the tree and still retain its Btem. It should lie gently laid (not carelessly thrown) in tho basket, the con' tents of which, when full, should bo era tied carefully upon a tublo fixed for the purpose, tho same to bo covered with a blanket or quilt to prevent bruising, This table should bo about six feec long, and three feet wide, and have a strip about two inches wide nulled around the edges, to keep the apples from rolling OWk lhe assorting and packing may now commence, in doing winch it is best to make three grades of the apples the one of perfect fruit, another ot rather inferior quality, and the third of such as are fit only for cider or to be fed to the stock Iu placing the first two sorts in barrels, lay a single course on the bottom Btems downward, aud so proceed until the bar rel is full, except that the last course should be placed with stems upward; taking care to shake the barrel well time or two during the process of filling. Two much care cannot bo taken in the above respect, for upon the careful ob servanco of them all success in the pro duet ion of first-clus fruit depends and without which a mun had better sell his fruit for what he can get, rather than at tempt to keep it for a better market or more satisfactory prices. lhe barrels so tilled may then be headed np and set away in some cool place until the approach of winter, when they shonld be placed in a cellar, the temperature of which is never so cold as to freeze. If one wishes to put up a few barrels of choice apples for sale, their preserva tion is not only greatly enhanced by wrapping each apple in paper, as a fur ther security against bruising, in case of transportation, but it gives them a more attractive appearance oc being opened. Cleanliness is Milking. The man ner of milking in the Channel Islands, the home of the Alderney, is peculiar, and has the merit of cleanliness, at least. Milking and straining the milk are done at one operation. The milkmaid with her tin pail, linen strainer and sea shell p'roeeds to the pasture. Stating herself beside the cow, she thus completes her arrangements. The strainer is securely tied over the narrow mouthed bucket, and placing the large shallow shed on tbe strainer she vigorously directs the streams into the shell; overflowing tbe shkllow brim, the milk passes through the strainer into the receptacle beneuih, the shell being used simply to prevent wearing a hole in the linen strainer. epot at that to M Sclioi Se 205 First, bet.
