We know what a diamond Is, but how
nature makes it the careful dame has
not yot permitted us to learn. The
immond is of the simplest chemical
imposition, being pure carbon. Char-
coal is pi""" caroon aisu, out uie secret
process by which nature rearranges
the atoms of the black. lusterls
charcoal into the form or tho flash-
jug diamond, tne mosi penect sjKtct
men of matter, is one that even long
hope on the part of the chemist, stimu
lated by the honor of great gains, has
not been able to discover. Nor is it
certainly known from what depart
ment nature takes tne dtamonu-making
material. It is generally supposed
that it is furnished by vegetable char-
coal, which undergoes a peculiar pro
crsg of decomposition and crystalliza
tion, but it has also been conjectured
that the carbonio acid, shut dp from re
mote periods in tho onlcarous rocks,
may have solidified in this perfect form.
Sir David Brewster, from a study of the
polarization of light in the minute
cavities of tho diamond, has concluded
that the substance was once in a soft
state, and, by the actions of an expand
in; gas or fluid within, its small cavi
ties, which refract tlie light to such
remarkable degree, are formed. lie
regards it as certain that the orignal
witness of the diamond was not caused
Lv either solvents or heat, and there
fore concludes that the diamond, like
amber, is a vegetable substance slowly
crystallized into its present form.

FAST WALKING HORSES.
Thy Farmer Should Bala Nona Bat
Spirited, Energetle Animal.
Profits are small on the farm and ail
waste must bo preventod "to make both
nilsmcpt" Waste of time is one of
th" things to be looked after as closely
as any tiling else, and with it the kind
of horses that are kept has considera
ble to do. Compare the distance trav
eled in a day by a strong, sturdy, fast
Talking team, with that which a slow,
creeping team will travel, and the dif
ference will be surprising. If this dif
ference of a day is so noticeable, what
must that of a year or tho average
lifetime of a horse be? If the slow
team pulls a plow or draws, a load but
twenty milos per day, while the other
covers twenty-live miles with as little
fatigue, it is easy to calculate what the
difference would bo in a year, and how
long it would take to gain a whole
Tear's time by using the active in
stead of the slothful horses. As
the most of farm work is done
at the walking gait, it is then
the duty of the farmer to look after tin
Talking qualities of the horses ho
breeds as much as it is for those who
lireed fast horses to look after the speed
producing qualities of the horses they
near. While much depends upon tho
training of a horse as to whether he is
a fast walker or not, there is a great
deal in the breeding. Some horsos are
naturally fast walkers, and, liko natu
ral fast trot tew or pacers, can stand to
work nt their natural gait much
better than those which acquired
the habit of walking fast by
being pushed. Active, energetic
horses, with an inclination for getting
over the ground with a strong, square
walk, will bo more apt to produce colts
that will bo a success in this direction
than clumsy horses with sleepy dispo
sitions, and these points should bo con
sidered wheu selecting for breeding
purposes. Agricultural Qazette.

that they will form one layer upon
the bottom of the pan. In doing this
nandle each oyster with a fork, so as to

to them. Sprinkle on salt, a teaspoon
ful to a pint of oysters; add pepper and
"nail lumps of butter to suit taste.
Pour over this the liquor, and enough

The Boston tree that had most of a
history was the old liberty tree. At
tho corner of Washington and Essex
streets stands a building m whose wall
Is inserted a tablet bearing the form of
a tree in bus relief. This building
covers the ground where tho liberty
tree grew. The tree was said to have
been planted in 1646. A century and a
quarter later the sons, of liberty held
meetings under its branches, and In
tho days preceding tho outbreak of the
revolution the ground on which it stood
was a place of assembly for the men
who conspired to throw off the British
yoke. In 1773 an anti-tea party was
held beneath it, and it became so obnox
ious to tho British that in 1775 it was
cut down by a detachment of soldiers of
tho Invading army, one of whom was
killed.
The poet Pojie had sent to him from
Smyrna a drum of figs. In it was a
small twig, which ho stuck in tho
ground near Twickenham villa. It
took root and grew rapidly and was
the admiration of himself and his
friends, and it proved to be tho Salix
Babyionlca, or weeping willow, and it
was the parent of all its kind in Eng
land and America. A British officer who
came to this country In 1775 brought
with him, wrapped lit oiled silk, a twig
from Tope's willow, 'Intending to plant
it himself in American soil. The voting
officer became acquainted with Custis,
Washington's stepson, and ho gave him
the willow twig. Custis planted it at
Abingdon, In Virginia, where it grew
vigorously. In 1790 General Gates
brought from Abingdon a shoot of the
Custis 'willow and planted it at the
entrance gate to his estate on Manhat
tan Island, and it was known as Gates'
weeping willow.
Tho charter oak of Hartford, Conn.,
was estimated to be about six hundred
years old when Hooker laid the founda
tion for a commonwealth there. It
was at one time known as Wyllys's
tree, as it stood in front of the house
occupied by Hon. Samuel Wyllys. It
measured -twenty-six feet in circum
ference a foot from the ground. The
cavity in which tho charter was placed
on the night of October 31, 1637, was
near the root and large enough to ail-,
mit a child. Tho cavity gradually be
came smaller, until It would scarcely
admit a hand. The oak was prostrated
In August, 1854, and nearly every
particle of it was worked into some
pleasing form and cherished as a
memento of a singular Incident iu co
lonial history.
T.ie treaty tree was a large elm
which stood on the banks of the Dela
ware river, near what is now known as
Kensington precinct, Philadelphia. It
was under this tree that William Penn
formed his treaty with the Indians in
1G82. Voltaire said "it was the only
treaty between these nations and the
Christians which was never sworn to
and never broken." The tree then be
came an object of interest and venera
tion, and when Penn contemplated
making his permanent home in Penn
sylvania he tried to purchase the land
near the tree, considering it one of
the finest situations on the river. The
tree was long protected witit care, but
was nt last blown down in a gale on
March 3, 1810. It was found to bo 283
years old, and its trunk measured
twenty-three feet in circumference.
The Penn Society erected a monument,

' How to Market Poultry.
No mattor how good poultry you
ma)' have.if youdon'tkill and dress it in
good shape and send it to market in at
tactive style the chances are strongly in
favor of your getting only a second-rate
price. Kill the fowls in it way so they
will not get bruised or soiled by dirt or
blood. Dry pick them, on no account
scalding before picking. Dress neatly,
which means draw tho intestines,
emptying the gizzard of its contents
and keeping every speck of blood or
filth from cowiing in contact with the
flesh or skin. Cut off the head, leaving
the neck only moderately long. Sever
the wings at the outer joint, have tho
legs picked clean to the knee joints,
singe the hairs from tho body, being
careful not to discolor It by smoke,
wind each bird about the wings in
strips of white, clean cotton cloth,
pack in nice, clean boxes, with rye
straw between the layers of poultry,
laying tho birds upon their backs with
legs extended. Don't attempt to palm
off fowls for chicks, for grocerymen
who haven't thoir eye teeth cut don't
tend stalls in our city markets, and be
sure such tricks will cost more than
they will net in the long run. Farm

AFTERNOON AT-HOMES, '
Illnta to Woman Who Kntartaln la a
raahluuabla Bat Hlmpla Way.
Afternoon at-homes have come to the
rescue of both tlugreat and the littia
ones of the earth. AH feel the relief
to their purses that this modest, and In
expensive form of entertainment offers,
and this will bo so until the great pres.
sure of excess of luxury and undue ex
travagance is removed, and until we-
Ring In the nobler modes of life.
With tweeter matter, purer law.
Should Invitations to afternoon at
homes be acknowledged, wheu the
cards do not bear the letters U. S. V
is a question repeatedly put to ns
and which we decidedly answer in the
affirmative, and to remove any linger
ing doubts on tho subject a few words
of further explanation may not be in
appropriate, Itis an act of discourtesy not to an
swer an Invitation, whether it Is to be
accepted or declined, for if invitations
remain unanswered, the usual conclu
sion is that absence from home is the
reason for this; and when Mrs. Brown
asks Mrs. Smith if their mutual friend.
Lady Robinson, is expected, the answer
naturally Is, "I am afraid not I asked
her to come, but I think she must be
away, as I have not heattl from her."
Perhaps Lady Robinson subsequently
arrives, and feels from tho remarks of
Iter hostess, by whom sho was evidently
not expected, that some apology is due,
and then follows: "I ought to have
written to you, but I was rather uncer
tain about our movement I did not
quite know what Sir John wished
me to do to-day," ' etc. This
is precisely the rcasoa why answers
are frequently not sent to invitations
to afternoon at-homes. People are in
clined to think that among so many
the absence of any particular individ
ual is of little Importance, that other
engagements might ftand in the way
and render the going to the at-home
rather inconvenient Thus they study
themselves rather than the friends who
have invited them. At-homes aro so
numerous that invitations to them are
apt to be disregarded in a mensure, but
if everyone took this ' line a hostess
might arrange for giving tea to fifty
guests, and perhaps only ten would
put in an appearance, whereas, if she
received refusals, she could either in
vite others, or make arrangements on
a smaller scale. It is polite and con
siderate, when acceptance is doubtful,
to state the fact, and then a host could
have a list of dotibtfuls, as well ns cer
tainties, to refer to. It is every thing
for a hostess to know who is, or who is
not, coming to her at-home, so as to
regulate her list accordingly. To
render an at-home a success, the right
people should be invited to meet each
other, those who have something in
common, for instanco, and are well ac
quainted, or those whose acquaintance
it would be pleasant to make; other
wise people would consider it a triste
affair, when forced to admit "that there
was hardly any one there they knew
to speak to," and several present that
"they did not care to know or to know
inoro of."
When a lady has a largo acquaint
ance, and gives a series of at-homes, if
she wishes to make them pleasant to
all, she issues her invitations with this
end in view, bearing in mind the preju
dices and partialities of her friends;
but when giving an occasional at-home
her course is not so (dear, and she is
fearful of wounding tho susceptibilities
of some of her acquaintances by leav
ing them out of Ilt-r invitation list
On the other hand, if she asks them to
meet each other they feel that they
have not been asked to the large at
home, and consider the invitation a
doubtful compliment; this is a dilemma
that many experience, and circum
stances and self-interest often influence
tho decision arrived at for and against.
A little difficulty often presents itself
when a card is received for a scries of
"at-homes," as to whether the recipi
ent is expected to go at all. If tho
"at-homes" are to take place every
week, it would be advisable to put in
an appearance fortnightly, and to men
tion the first date of acceptance in an
swering an invitation of this nature.
But a visiting card with an "at
home" day written on it can not be
regarded in the light of an invitation;
itis merely an Intimation that if the
friends of a ccrtaid lady call upon her
on a given day, mentioned on the card,
they will find her at home. But this
dofts not necessitate a all being mode,
if convenient, or any excuses offered
for non-appearance on the "at-home"

FOUR-FOOTED MINERS.
Timidity and Skill Displayed by tha Gopher
la Underground Boring.
In Southern California a number oi
interesting miners tro found, and one
very attractive fellow is a long-tailed
gray squirrel that constructs the most
Hstonlshing tunnels.' The most skilled
worker, however, is a gopher, known
to science as the Qeomys Mexicanus.
Ten or twelvo years ago they reigned
t tipreme In the now fertile valley of
San Gabriel, that lies east of tho fa
mous city of Los Angeles. From my
window, ns I write, numbers of tho
mounds of these miners can bo seen,
but they are so remarkably sly and cun
ning that though I have watched for
hours, I have only seon one six inches
away from his hole, but as this short
experience was repeated an indefinite
number of times, I may be said to be
on terms of intimacy with one of the
most timid of till miners.
In appearance the gopher, or pouched
rat, as it is sometimes called, resem
bles a short-tailed and short-legged rat,
with a large head and protruding teeth.
Thoir cheeks attract attention, having
the appearance of being pushod out or
stuffed witii something, but this is
owing to the fact that our miner has
two very strange receptacles, one on
each side, snparato and distinct from
the mouth; little carpet-bags, wo might
call them, each lined with fur, and
large enough to enable me to thrust in
my thumb to the first joint. Pouches
they are sometimes or often called, and
as to their use thero scorns to be a di
versity of opinion.
The front claws of this miner are ex
tremely largo and powerful, and ena
bles it to construct tunnels with re
niarkablo rapidity. When once be
neath the surface they construct their
mines in every direction, with no great
regularity, but evidently with the idea
of forming a labyrinth that will carry
off floods. Th t this is successful I
have frequently demonstrated by turn
ing a largo stream of water into the
mines. It would run in without over
flowing for a long time, and I have
never succeeded in forcing one put by
this means. It would naturally bo
supposed that such minors would place
their nest nt ome distant or deep lend
in the mine, but tho reverse is the rule,
the warm nost of bits of weed being
formed very near the surface, from
which ditl'crent mines lend away, taking
any water that might como in.
It might be assumed that the bags
or pouches wero used to carry out the
dirt and stones removed; but, curious
ly enough, they use them for exactly
the reverse, and for carrying seeds or
food. As soon as a gopher makes up
iis mind that its mining operations
have been observed it invariably crawls
out or partly crawls out, of the mine
or burrow, and, filling its pouches
with sticks nnd sand, backs quickly in
its tail seemingly guiding it to the holo
with unfailing regularity, the animal
never turning but always backing, and
moving so rupidly that it seems almost
like the curious lizard that runs one
way ns well as another. The soil and
material onrried in in this way is de
posited at the entrance of the mine
nnd if the animal thinks that danger is
imminent it bites off earth at the
mouth of the burrow. Having done
this for n few moments it disappears,
and a second later tho opening closes,
and a close examination shows a quiv
ering of the earth ami a repeated
pushing upas if somo one was patting
it from below.
In short, the mine has been filled up
from below, and so skillfully that few
would notice it But whero is the
miner? Not off in some deep lead hun
dreds of feet away, but near nt hand in
a tunnel quite at the surface that has a
porthole about ns largo as a pea.
Through this "peep hole" the wily
miner takes observations, and the tun
nel will not be reopened for weeks if it
is watched. Golden Dayt.
A DROP OF RAIN.
It Baftnmes at Mlcroaoopla Ocean by the
Time It Keachea the Earth.
It might bo supposed that rain-water,
coming from the sky, would bo per
fectly pure. Far from that. While the
vapor condenses into rain-drops, small
amounts of nitrate and nitrate of am
monia are formed and dissolved in the
nascent (bop; the drop finds in the at
mosphere oxygen, nitrogen, carbonic
acid, ozone, ammonia, ready and eager
to be dissolved; they are all taken up,
and with the drop begin their journey
earthward. While the drop is falling,
it attracts dust floating in the air con
taining all the mineral elements of the
earth's crust especially salt, magnesia,
silica, lime, etc. , They all dissolve in
It and travel downward. Nearer the
surface coal and tar particles from
smoke, sulphur gases and effluvia are
gathered and either dissolved or carried
along mechanically, germs of myriads
of low organisms constantly floating in
the air are harbored and sheltered, and
by the time the drop dashes into thou
sands of minute particles against a
stone, it has become a microscopic
ocean, containing all the elements of
the earth's surface and the beginning
of an active Hie. When people use
cistern water they have abundant op
portunity to observe the impurity of
rain water. After the rain water had
struck the soil it hastens to enter it,
but during the short passage through
ti e sod it takes np great cargoes of im
purities, the product of rotten vegetable
substances, and where man dwells, of
human activity, shiftlessness and filth.

DECEPTION IN FOOD.
How Lard, Rpleea and Other Food Art I.
title Are Adulterated.
Food adulteration still goes on. It
was disclosed by Mr. Armour, the Chi
cago lard and pork packer, not long
ago, that millions of gallons of cotton
seed oil are used for adulterating lard.
It is claimed by tho manufacturers thai
tho oil has no suspicion of disease aboul
it and that it is perfectly wholesome. A
large portion of tho "olive oil" con
sumed in this country also, is the oil of
cotton soed. It is sent in large quanti
ties to England and Germany where it
enters into lardine, butterine and olive
oil, the same as on this side of the
water. Holland imports great quanti
ties of it to make Dutch choose. One
oil refinery last year, sold four thousand
barrels of tho oil to preservo sardines,
and the "sardines" were not sardines
at all, but some other kind of fish caught
off tho coast of Maine. Soap is made
by the thousand boxos In Chicago with
the same base. Along with all this is
the assertion that the industry Is as yot
In its infancy; thore is no telling how
many food products it will enter spood
liy, nor how largely.
The investigation of tho chemists of
the National Department of Agricnl
ture, recently completed, show that no
food is so much adulterated as spices.
Of twenty samples of ground cloves ex
amined only two were pure. The others
had suffered the extraction of thoir es
sential oils and had been polluted by
the addition of clove stems, nljspice and
husks ot various kinds. Of eight sam
ples of cayenne pepper only one was
pure. Of ten samples of mustard none
was pure, though sovorul had only suf
fered the loss of their fixed oil; the
others contained quantities of wheat
flour, tho spurious matter being in
somo cases two-thirds of the compound.
This made it necessary to add tumeric
acid (harmless) to restore the mustard
color. Ten samples of allspice were
examined, eight of which were pure.
Four samples of cassia were all pure.
Of ten samples of ginger, four were
pure. Only one out of thirteen samples
of black pepper was found to be what
It purported to be. A specimen sont
from Baltimore to a man w ho had an
army contract was almost entirely
spurious. Cayenne pepper, black pep
per, husks and mustard hulls were
used to give flavor and pungency while
"body" was supplied by ground beans
and rice, and color by charcoal. Two
samples of white pepper out of five
were pure, two samples of mace out of
five were pure, and of three samples of
nutmeg examined all were pure. A
