11 Jacoii Higoinh, a woll-knowa farmer, hung himself to a tree in the -woods, iv short distanco from his residence, near Hixson Station, Tcnn. Ho had recently lout his wife. Ho leaves five small children, who have no relatives to care for them. Thk extraction of camphor from tho tree totally destroys its growth, and it was owing to this fact that the custom once prevailed in Japan that when a person removes tho camphor another tree was immediately planted in the fctcad of that one from which the gum had lceii remoud. A Prrrsitouo mechanical engineer has invented a novel movable dam, by tho ubo of which ho claims a boating etage of water may bo obtained in shal low rivers at all seasons of tho year.

Exi'KUiments have proved that the tensile strength of r wet rope is only one-third that of the same rope when dry, and a rope saturated with greaso or soap is weaker still, as the lubiicant pormitd tho libers to slip with greater facility. Hemp ropo contracts strong ly on being wet, and a dry ropo twenty iivo feet long will shorten to twenty four on being wet. It is proposed to preserve fish alive by placing them in vessels filled with water and hermetically nealed. It is said that fish so confined have been found alivo after three weeks, without either air or water having been changed, whilo fish in an open jar died in forty-eight hours. If tho air in tho vessel is compressed tho life of tho fish is Btill further prolonged. Pkom studies upon tho relation which I ho annual rings bear to tho ago of trees it has been concluded that thoy aio only an approxima tive and not certainly correct index of age. Any agency opt rating to pro duce alternate periods of rest and ac tivity in tho growth of tho trees sorves to determine their formation. In cold climates tho number of rings more nearly serves to indicate tho ago of tho trees than in warm climates. A vkw weeks ago a citizen of Thorp, Wis., going through tho woods near there, found two deer with their horns looked together. , Ono was tlead and frozen still", and tho other had dragged tho dead body over forty rods ami torn up tho ground and brush in its frantic elTorta to got free. It was still alive, but very weak, and tho hard-hearted citizeu killed tho poor animal, and then had to break tho horns in order . to got them apart.

A Glut at tunnel has been con atruotud through tho Cascade Moun tains for tho Northern Pacific ltailroad, at a cost of about $2,000,000.

He &aysr A' first one teat will milk harder than the rest, and gets worse until scarce a drop can be got from it. The quarter of tho bag it represents is hard and swoolen. He lets the teat thus affected alone for four days, rubbing on linseed oil twice a day, giving the cow five drops of aconite, on an ear of corn, night and morning, and not giving tho cow a full grain ration during this time. Ho milks on the fifth day, and generally has no trouble. If it begins to milk bird again give another rest and there is no trouble afterwards. This is a simple way of treating a troublesome complaint, and at this time of the year there may be many persons who will be glad to know how to treat it. to 50, e xtra, $2 Unglh 50 to (it), xtia, $4 00; l pur M, $2 25; U L.tb, per M, jfi.

An avenue of well-grown trees by the roadside makes a farm vastly more attractive and costs little exctmt tho labor of setting. On high ground the sugar maple thus set will make a sugar grove after a few years. On low lands the elm is tho handsome tree, but its roots extend far into the Fields.

Weeds are quite sure to get the start unless the suifacot is hanowetl enee or twice before the potato crop is out of the ground. It really does not hurt tho potato to con tinue the harrowing still longer. Tlieie is a greater demand for evor green corn than for any other. It is late, and, therefore, preferred for can ning. It is veiy large and sweet, and, therefore, in demand for soiling and ensilage.
