Wo havo always had considerable trouble to got our calvoa to oat dry food, as soon as is deairabh. Wo usually tako them from tho cow al from three to five days old, and givo them frcsb milk until two weeks old, when we be gin to mid skim milk to their rations. At ttils period wo should liko to havo them begin eating bran, abort or shelled corn, or better all together, to make up for tho diminished quality of tho milk. But bow to got thorn to eat ing baa boon tho dilllculty. As tho easiest way out of it wo usually prac ticed tho plan of stirring tho bran or aborts into the milk and letting thorn drink what they would of it. Hut for various reasons wo don't liko that moth od. Wo profcr that they should oat it. If you think that a mere "notion," wo shall not quarrel with you about it. Tho past winter wo accidentally discov ered a way out of tho dilllculty of tdacb iug them to eat. When tho first calf put in an appearance wo had no sepa rate stall or shed to put it in. Onr ahoopsbed being of good dimensions for tho number of sheep, wo concluded to turn it in thoro. About tlio timo wo flxod for feeding skim milk and shorts wo happened to visit tho shod soon af ter the boy hod fed tho sheep thoir morning feed of corn and aborts, and to our surprise wo found tho calf occu pying a place at tho trough, and catiug wiUi avidity. Tho uoxt one that came wo disposed of in tho aamo way and with the aamo result. Tho third fol lowed, it littlo bit of a half-blood Jer sey, that wo could pick np and carry under ono arm, almost as easily as n lamb; and it could not havo been more than ten days old wheu wo observed it beginning to imitate tho sheep and other calves iu going to tho trough, and at least " going through tho mo tion." of taking tho feed. Now wo ore not going to ad vise you to raiso sheep to tcaou your calves to oat dry feed 4 (perhaps ours didu't), but if you havo tlio sheep and want your calf to lcaru early to eat without taking the trouble yourself to teach it, yon might try tho plan.

Dolls do not olnng no sharp and harsh upon tho oar. True, thoy aro not rung so much ns thoy aro with us. Evon in London on Bnnday tbeir sound is not obtrusive. Indeed, tbo only bell sound in tho great city of which I havo a dis tinct momory is Iiig Iten's delicious, mollow boom. In country walks on Hunday tbo distant chimes from tho littlo anliquo spiroa or towers float to you liko silver voices heard through tho still air. Your own voice is hushed by them if yon aro with a companion, and you walk on in s weot and silent sadnoss. I shall novcr forgot thogontlo, soothing charm of tho liolnoy chimo in Bussox, which, as tbo sun was leaving tho weald to that long, dolicioun twilight through whioh day Ispsos into night in England, I hoard in company with ono whoso sa gacious lips, tbenhusbod for a moment, aro now silont forever. Those English country chimes aro vory different from those that stun our ears from Broadway steeples. Thoy aro simple, and yet aro not formless jangle ; bnttho performers do not undertake to play opera airs affttuoto and con txprtnlont with ropes and iron ham mors upon hollow tons of mobtl. Whether I was favored by tho Eng lish climate I do not know, but In ad dition to this soft, sweet charm which tho air seemed to givo to everything that was to bo seen or beard, I found late autumn thoro as verdant and as variously beaatiful as early summer is with us, and without tho beat from which wo Buffer. In Sussex tho gar dens wero all abloom, wild flowers in tho wood, blackberries ripening ia tho hedges, the birds singing, and every thing was frosh and fragrant. Among tho birds, I observed tho thrush and tho robin-redbreast ; tbo latter not that tawny-breastod variety of tho singing thrash which is horo called a robin, but a littlo bird about half as largo. with ni thin, poiuted bill, a breast of crimson,, and a note which is liko a loud and prolongod chirrup. It would 4e charming it wo could havo this man trusting littlo feathered fellow with us; but I fear that ho could not bear oar winters. In Warwickshire, I found roses blooming blooming in great masses half-way up the sides of a two story cottage on tho rood from Stratford-on-Avon to Konll worth; sad this was in tho vory last days of OcMhp. True, I bad only a fow days ibftt shivered tbroagb a rainy xaoraKSulfva inZseex, whon tho chill dampness seemed to strtko into my very heart ; but on tho wholo 1 found myself under English skies healthy, happy, and tho enjoyer of a succession ot now delights, which yet seemed to momino by birthright. Richard Grant White tn Atlantic. A Kevolution in Mexico. A year without a revolution in Mexi co, or an attempt at ono, at least, wonld lo liko a summer without rain in other countries. It is not surprising that ono is in progress now. President Diaz, it will be remembered, owes his office to a revolution. In 187G President Lerdo, a Liberal, was chosen to succeed Senor Jnarcx. Tho rival candidato was Gon- oral Porflrio Diaz, who on pretenoo that tho 'election nod been irregular, marched on tho capital and proclaimed himself provisional President. But ho was at once plunged into difficulties. Honor Iglesios, Chief Justico of tbo Su premo Court, had aided Diaz in over throwing Lerdo. According to the Mexican Constitution, tho Chiof -Justico suoceods to tho Broaidenoy whenever thoro is a vacancy or failure to elect. Igloahu, thorefore, claimed tho lresi dency, and whon Diax usurped it, with drew from tho capital and declared against him. It was uot until tho olose of 1877 that tho opponents of Diaa woro conquered and ho became firmly seated in tho Presidency, to which Lo had iu tho meantime caasod himself to bo olectcd. Diac was supported by (tho wealthy and influential clwse who had been alarmed at the innovations of tho Lib erals under Juarvs and Lerdo. Uo promised " reforms " freoly, which mount a reactionary movement. But whethor booauso ho has found himself unable to induce the Legislature to pass tho measures desired, or because ho did not havo thorn sufficiently at heart to press them, be has failed to givo Mexico tlio promised rof orm. For somo timo past administration has been vory freoly oritioisod in somo of tho journals of tho capital, bat it has not boon supposed that there was any groat disaffection bo hind those utterances. But it is now said that tho generals of tlio army havo openly doolared against him, that tho merehauts and land owners aro unanimously opposed to bim, and that his don ulall is imminent, it not certain. Precisely what has brought about this state of fooling, be yond that oh ron io unrest that makes a settled government a seeming impossi bility in Mexico, is not Known, -xiut that it oxisU there cau bo no question, and that it portends anothoi civil war thoro caubo no question, Prosident Dias is not tho kind ot a mau to give up his hard-won houors without a Strug glo. Should ho bo overthrown, thoro would bo a lUuoss in tho event; au ad ministration that began iu a revolution might vory properly end in a rovolu. tiou. K,iminer ami VhronMt.

" What ia tho difference botweeu your exeelleuoy and myself l" Answer; Whilst yourexoollenoy who knows so much will toll nothing, I who know nothing must tell so niuoh." -ZenJon World, Jfau WaHny Power. Weston's performance in covering &M miles in rather less than six dsys may be oi no particular impoiianco from a Catriolio point of view. If Weston bad on a now man tho fact that ho had "beaten tho record " by ton miles or so would havo fnrnishod an occasion for tho Amorican oaglo to display himsolf, bnt Weston bos ongagod in so many matches that bis victory will not croato noarly tho same oxcitemont in Now York as if bis achievement had boon modo by Ennls. It haa always boon Weston a weakness to set his mark a lit tlo higbor than ho could reach, and his romarkablo performances havo boon overrated simply becauso of tho impos sibilities ho has nndortakon. Never theless, what ho has now dono is a very romartaijlo acniovomont. Kowell in Gilmoro's Garden, and Brown at tbo long-distanco walk in Agricultural Hall, soomod to thos o who saw them to have exhausted the limits of human endur ance. What they did has now been so badly beaten that there is mora differ enco between Weston's performance and Howell's than between Howell's and that of tho second man in this race. Howell mado barely 500 miles andEnnis mado 475, whereas tho winner in this raco in making 550 miles has beaten Howell by something liko fifty miles. Thoro is every reason to expect that witnin a very few years a IonK-distanco walking match of six days will bo won witu a record oi not Joss than Cw miles, or 100 miles a day. This would Ixran excellent performance for a horso. In fact, so faros we remember, it has never thus far beon oqaaled or even ap proached by a horso. Pcoplo who havo studied ho powers and performances of horses and men have long been of tho opinion that in point of endurance the biped Was much to bo preferred to the quadruped. Thoy aro justified by tho result of tbo recent long-distance matches. The owner of iv horso who should subject bis animal to the extreme tests to which Weston and Brown have submitted themselves would probably como undor tho official notice of Mr. Borgh. The record of any six days' walk is regarded with consternation by every man who has walked enough to know what fast walking moans, and who has yet not walked enough to know how much exertion tho human system will bear. Thcro is no reason to believe that any professional pedestrian coald como nearer to Weston's record than his opponent in tho present match has heretofore dono, but there is reason to believe that professional pedestrians will hereafter succeed in beating wea- toae tiaae'evea saore tbaa Weston has beaten the time of his predecessors. At ail oventa. if tho dreeent race ia re peated in this city, there is reason to ex pect that tho record wilt be beaten, and that tho winner will be obliged to sur pass a feat of pedestrianism which now seems to bo tho limit of human perse verance and endurano. 2Tao York Wvrid. Scntlmenul Flirts. No flirt does more damage than the undemonstrative man who takes senti ment as his ground of action. Soft eyes that look dark and melancholy in tho twilight: a sweet, sad voice that awakes responsivo echoes in the imag ination of the hearer: a languid, still. and self contained manner, giving the impression oi a resorvo land of force. of talent, fooling, ot capacity for sor row, oi power oi sympathy theso aro tho various items which make up the stock-in -trado of the sontimental flirt; and with theso he dispenses sweet pain and pleasant anguish to all around AU, that is, who aro wear enough to be lieve, and innocent enough to be de ceived ; and who take tinsel and tinfoil for shining silver and ruddy gold. How much mischief these sentimental flirts do iu their day I Thoy givo you tho impression that you and you only ore tho ono sweet woman whoso love is needed for their happiness. And all the timo you aro tho victim of a cruel experiment!

A Wiulk Attacks a Sohooneb. Tho Halifax OhronieU says: Captain Logan, ot tho sohoonor Katie JJ. Stuart, whioh arrived Saturday, reports that whon off Whitohead ho saw a whale about fifty feet long coming toward the vessel. Ho throw a billot of wood at tho monster, whioh seemed to enrage it, and it dived undor tho vessel and came upalougsido, blowing water on the dcok. It was struok by several missiles, but did not book afraid. Then bilge water was pumped overboard. This drovo tho wbalo off for a few min utes, but it came baok aud was evident ly abou to striko tho vessel, wheu it was struok oloso to tho blow-hole by a largo lump ot ooal. This seemed to tako the courage out of the whale, and it swam off in thedirooUon from which it hud first come. The chief art in learning is to attempt but littlo at a time. The widest excur sions of the mind are made by abort flights, frequontly repeated. Llfo nt Saratoga. Ono who has never boon vaccinated might lust as well tako up an abode in a small-pox hospital and expect not to catch small-pox as to como to Saratoga and not got into a flirtation of some kind. 1- lirting is in tho air you may bo over so woll-mcaning,so good-hearted shot yon wouldn't hurt a fly, that is, undor ordinary circumstances; bat hero, well, you aro seizpd with tho epidemio before you knotflftnything about it, and almost unconsciously yon find yourself sayinir pretty things to Tom that yon wouldn't quite liko Dick to hear, whilo in tho absence of tbo two Brat-named worthies, moro than ono Harry may como in for a aharo of tho many polite speeches whioh rise to your lips spon taneously. Now, of all this something tragic might ensue, bnt luckily thoovil works its own remedy. To break one's heart about one false one is qnito en re ale; but to break ono's heart about a half-dozen or dozen, as tho caso may bo, is qnito unheard of. So, then, it is all resolved into a pleasant way of pass ing one's timo, and nobody comes off much worsted. Tho novelty which attracts most at tention is tbo three electric lights at tbo Union, which aro under the imme diate supervision of Maxim, the invent or and patentee, who anxiously watches overy succeeding improvement. Chiefly daring tho ovening performances of Lothian's band aro tho new and strange effects modo manifest. At the main en trance to the piazza on the inner court a light is suspended on high, and from its single radiance the entire length of that sido is illuminated with a wonder ful brilliancy, yet without that glare and heat consequent upon tho employ ment oi gas. diagonally opposite at tho other end ot tho conn yard, a simi lar light is placed, and by virtue of tbo two tho entire lighting ot tno court is accomplished. Tho piece derttulance, however, and that which attracts so much attention is tho throwing of vari ously colored lights upon the central fountain by means of colored electric lights placed on the piazza at tno mr tber end. Tho result is magical. One moment you see the fountain playing waters of a delicate rose color; the next momont they deepen into the richest crimson, and change alternately into orange, pale yellow, green, purple or blae. AU these, and other colors which I cannot think of at present, are in tensified, then paled again, and not only this, but oftentimes three and four aro simultaneously united with incredibly beautiful results. Then again, oil aro withdrawn, and the fou&taia left for some moments to its natural play; this, indeed, being a cunning device, since whon tho colorings are resumed wo ap preciate them the more from their tem porary withdrawal. AU the hotels aro now fast filling up. I had a pleasant talk yesterday with Dr. Perry, of tho States, who seems ex ceedingly well-pleased with tho turn which affairs aro taking, for each day brings recruits, while rooms are en gaged by parties who soon will occupy them. Mrs. A. T. Stewart, as you know, is at the Union, but seemingly aware that she is apt to bo unpleasantly stared at, keeps almost exclusively within her own apartments, which are fitted up an a scale ot regal magnifi cence Jbyen when she goes driving sho takes tho precaution to go quietly out of a side entrance, rather than in front where everybody is seated. Rosalind Jjv in If. lr. Home Journal. Bees en the Wimr- When a swarm leaves for the woods they are off before you fairly know it. Thoy drift away from the hive in a wide spread and apparently aimless con course, then suddenly gather up their skirts, draw together their forces, and away they go, a humming, flying vortex ot bees, the queen apparently in the center and the mass revolving about her as a pivot, over orchards and meadows, across creeks and swamps, or woods and deep valleys, straight tor tho appointed tree, slow at first, so that you can keop up with them, but presently with a speed that would tire a fox hound. In this flight tho individual bees do not move in right linos, or straight forward liko a flock of birds. but round and round lite onan m a whirlwind; unitedly they form a whirl ing, revolving, nebulouB mass fif toon or twenty foot across, that goes as straight as a projectile to its mark. Thoy ore not partial as to the kind ot tree pine, hemlock, elm, birch, maple, hickory any tree with a good cavity high up or low down. A swarm of mine ran away from tho now patent hive I gave them, and took up their quarters in the hollow trunk of on old apple treo aoross au ad joining field. The entrance was a mouse bole near tho ground. Another swarm in tho neighborhood deserted their keeper and went into the cornice ot an out house that stood amid evergreens in tho rear of a largo mansion. But there is no accounting for tho taste ot bbea, as Sampson found when ho dis covered the swarm in the carcass (or more probably the skeleton) ot the lion he bad slain.

ThoAmorious (Ga.) , Republican Bays : As Mr. John Renew, ot Sumter county, u-aa nlowintr afield reaentlv. he discov ered a large rattlesnake coiled up under a bush, enjoying tho sight ot man " oarning his bread by tho sweat of his brow." He attempted a conversation by a loud rattle, whioh John thought meant for him to trot bis whisky ready, but aa ho had none handy, he called in the services of a stout fence rail, gave battle to the hutre reutile and succeeded in killing it. It had seventeen rattles and a button and weighed thirty-seven pounds.- The fangs wore ugly-looking things, and our informant says he shud dered aa ho looked at them.

Ono object of olothing tho body, W to secure nniformity of temperature.,, A tomperatnro of 99 degrees I.. ia.tiio average for a person in health, and without counteracting intluoncea this will bo maintained by the aclion'of 'the blood. Clothing may disturb this uni formity in various ways. Compression npon any part of tho system obstrnctn tho flow of blood, which results in tbo lowering of tho tomperatnro. Tho foot and bands aro made cold by tight boots and gloves. Too many thicknesses of clothing at a particular point results in the accumulation of heat and conse quent congestion. A lack of clothing results in the escapo of heat, and the forcing inwardly tho sarfaco blood, tending to produce congestion of tho internal organs. Ono part may be over heated by too much clothing, whUo an other part is suffering from cold. .Too often do wo eee children loadodith clothing about tho chest, whilo tbo neck and legs ore barely covered. ' ' In somo parts of tho body tho blood vessels aro larger and moro nuaserons than in other parts as in the throat and lungs and liver and kidneys. Heece those organs ate liable to become over heated by too much clothing, andtes- peciaUy if other parts of tho body-are imperfectly protected. The region ot the kidneys is often overdressed bytho lapping, at this point, of tho garments whioh clothe tho trunk and lower ex tremities. Two or three extra thick nesses aro thus obtained, and the ten dency is to accumulate an excess of blood in these delicate organs- It is maintained thai the muffling of tho throat is the cause of-xsoresore throats, coughs and cronpa, .thann all other causes combined, especiallykwhon. supplemented by thinly clad extremi ties. As I havo intimated, .flannel should be constantly worn jieiithe skin. This prevents sudden chiiU of tho surface, which is very important in our variable climate.
