Tcachluu Calves to Kat.
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. Ohio 1-hrmtr.

in tho great city of which I havo a dis
tinct momory is Iiig Iten's delicious,

littlo anliquo spiroa or towers float to

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,

Whether I was favored by tho Eng

tho air seemed to givo to everything
that was to bo seen or beard, I found

variously beaatiful as early summer is
with us, and without tho beat from

tho birds, I observed tho thrush and
tho robin-redbreast ; tbo latter not that
tawny-breastod variety of tho singing

but a littlo bird about half as largo.

but I fear that ho could not bear oar
winters. In Warwickshire, I found
roses blooming blooming in great

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,

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

Ono who has never boon vaccinated

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.

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.

" oarning his bread by tho sweat of his

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

in killing it. It had seventeen rattles

Ono object of olothing tho body, W to

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

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-

If the body is InsuMeieHtlyolottted,

there is a waste of heat daring fee-years
