They are exhibited by hundreds in zinc-bottomed glass cases covered with some thr' inches of water, where they lie in dormant layers, showing no sign of life, but a Lip on the side of ths case will rouse the inert reptiles to fc wriggling mass that scramble actively to get out of reach. The little creatures are great pets with children, who are not afraid to take thorn in their hands and to their bosoms, or lay them against their cheeks with loving caresses, as they would a doll or pet kitten. They are a cheap plaything, costing but seventy-five cents, and are very moderate in their wants. A small tub, half filled with water, and aboard laid slanting wise with one end in the water, upon which they can creep up to sun themselves and, twice a week, a bit of beef the size of an En glish Walnut, is all they require to sustain existence comfortably. A eap pet, and a charming one, the children think, who every year take hundreds of them North in per forated boxevs. The first posse-ision of them is a great delight to their small owners, who in their extravagant ad m'ration take them out of their boxes in the hotel rooms and al!ow them to run about f rocly.

INSURANCE FIGURES. Tfre Perren ta e of Incmiiary Flrea Dar. ins the Tear 1 838 Th O commonly expressed opinion that insurance furnishes the chief mo tive for the incendiary dostrnction of property does not seem to be borne out by the f.ic's. The Chronicle Fire Tables for 18546, recently issued, show that upwards of $ 11. 000.000 worth of property was destroyed by incendiary nres, of which barely 51 per cent was insured, while, the average insurance on the entire amount vt values burned in that year was 53 per cent. Thus the property destroyed by incendiary fires was actually insured to a smaller extent than that destroyed by fires from other causes. , The percentage of incendiary fires was the same as for the previous year, namely 26 per cent., the ratio being higher in the South than in any other part of the country, as has been the case heretofore. In Niw England the per cent, of incendiary fires was 31, in the Middle States 25. in the Western Slates 32, and in the Southern States 42. Classifying fires by risks during the last three years, it is fuund that tobacco .barns stand at the head of the lis, showing 85.7 per cent of incendiarism. Country stores show 67.4 p?r cent,, mining works 5 i. 5, lumber yards 50, theaters S8, flouring mills and tanneries 37.1. saw-mills 30, printing offices 17, foun dries and machine shops 15.7. cotton and woolen mills, 15 3, and, lowest of alL dwellings, which escaped with 14. 3 per cent. Of individual States incendiarism was lowest in Illinois and New Hamp shire, each showing eighteen percent., and highest in Mississippi and Ken tucky, 54, closely followed by Arkan sas and Tennessee with 52 each, and by South Carolina and West Virginia, each with 5L Chicago Journal. Old Mr. Kice and young Mr. Farm er, of Wilson, N. C. quarreled, and as the old man advanced threateningly the young man pulled a pistol. They were - separated without harm being done; but a few minutes afterward Mr. Rice said to a friend: "I think it is cowardly in a young man like that to draw a pistol on an old man like me, and I tell you I am mad about it." With these words the old man gasped and then" fell dead. 2f, Y. Sun. Miss Parloa is a plucky woman. At one of her cooking classes, lately, something slipped and boiling water ran over her hands. The pupils cried out; the lecturer did not change a muscle. She sprinkled the burns with soda, bandaged them with her hand kerchief and went on with the lesson, her hands swelling into puffy balls of pain before her hearers' eyes, but not distracting her from her lecture, or causing a moment's stoppage in her running fire of jokes. - The wisdom of careful boiler in spection was recently, demonstrated very strikingly at Chicago. The boil ers of three large propellers, all belong ing to one line engaged in the lake ser vice, were tested by the Government officials, with the result that only one of the three was found in good condition. The boiler of one gave .wray at 110 pounds and that of the other at 120 pounds pressure. The former was built in 1878 of 17-32-iron, and the lat ter in 1880 of 9-16-inch iron. Boston Budget. .

EXTINCT TRADES. ShiUful Mechanics at Othw Day Who Wo ul J Untl 5io ork 1 o-(jr. An extinct ooeupntion. once nlmopt as common n that of the blacksmith, is that of the brazier. Urass-worker there are. to bo sure, but they no longer work with the simple tools used by the old-tim brazier, who with his hammer and anvil, fashioned kettles, pots, pans, candlesticks, and other household utensils. Brass is one of the most useful metal compounds, and has been employed in the mechanic arts al most from the dawn of history. It is an alloy of copper and r.inc combined in the proportion of seventy or eighty per eenL of the former and twenty or thirty of the latter. It was first ob tained by the ancients from cadmia or calomine, an ore containing copper and sometimes found in the same mines with sine. These two ores being melted together produced brass, or if a certain amount of tin w-ere presont, bronze. Most of the arms and in struments found in Herculaneum and Pompeii were made of brass. Homer and other ancient writers refer to it so frequently that, bejtmd question, it must have been extensively used. "Not worth a tinker's curse" Is a common expression, signifying utterly worthless. The traveling tinker was once as numerous as the 'peripatetic book agent now is. He was "jack of all trades" and good at the most of them. If he was industrious and did not squander his earnings in drink bis trade was not to be despised. Many a farmer's household watched for his coming and gladly welcomed him. He tonld mend a clock, mend tin and earthen dishes, aftd fix . almost any thing that was out of "order. The saying quoted probably means that i article so poor that a tinker would con demn it is past all hope of usefulness. There was a time, and not very long ago either, when such articles as combs, brushes, hats, carpats, tin plates, pins. needles, and hundreds of other things that are now turned out with almost inconceivable rapidity by the aid ol steam-driven machinery, were all made by hand in a most laborious manner. In those days the word watchmaker meant a maker and not a repairer of watches; the gunsmith was a maker of gnnsrand so on. The art of making pins of brass was tot known in England until the middle of the sixteenth centurv; prior to that time pins were made of bone,.ivory or some other similar materiaL Former ly a pin passed through the hands of twenty-five or more workmen before it was ready for sale; now a machine takes the wire and makes them by hundreds of thousands, doing everv thing, even to sticking the pins on pa per. In a "Book ot Trades," published e.u-ly in this century, an illustration represents the "caJiwo printer" at work with a block and mallet, stamping tiie figures upon the, cloth in that manner. Now, his occupation is like Othello's. Calico takes its name from a province of India, whence this eloth was brought to English markets in 1631. Its manu facture was begun in England in 1773. Chicago Xetcs. SOME RARE COINS. Tka Metric Golold Set at Moncj Devtsed and CoteMi la 1879. Within the past month a fonr-dollar United States coin has turned up in this city, and people interested in such matters have talked about it a great deal. I hear the owner of the piece called at the sub-treasury and was told that the Government never coined such a piece. This is a mistake, though there were never any great number of them coined. The Committee on Coin age. Weights and Measures, which has the subject in charge and looks after' designs for improving the coinage in respect to size, denomination or ap pearance, frequently instructs the su perintendent of the mint to execute new patterns or experimental pieces for inspection, and if they are deemed worthy of adoption then the committee frames and introduces the necessary mil in uongress. unaer tins arrange ment a series of coins was devised in 1879, known as the Stella, having the value of four dollars. United States standard. The design was approved by the committee and a bill introduced anticipating a new metric coin for in ternational use. The coin was the size of a nickel, representing "Liberty head" turned to the left on the obverse, with "1879" below, thirteen stan, with figures and letters inter spersed, denoting the proportion of gold, alloy, etc. ; on the reverse, above, "United States of America," within it "E Pluribus Ununi," with a large five-raj-edstar. "Stella," in ihe center, and below, "One Stella, 400 cents," and 'Deo est Gloria," and still below, "FourDol." This was struck in proof. The Stella is ons of the set designated metric goloid, the other two being the metric dollar and the goloid metric dollar. Twenty sets only were struck early in 1879, to b submitted to the committee; a littte later 100 sets were struck, and still later 300 sets were or dtred coined. These were officially offered to members of Congress and persoanl and political feiends on pay ment of their intrinsic value. Then 400 sets were coined in 1880. bearing the date 1879, and of these about 250 found their way into miscel laneous hands, and the remaining 150 are believed to be still in the vaults of the mint Of the original twenty gets, a few were sold as high as f 100 and the prices of those subsequently coined ranged down from $50 to $12.50. Sep arately, the Stella now sells for about (5, and the set of three pieces at $6.50 to $7.50. The bill for their issue, how aver, failed "t become a law. Dr. M.

Bom of tha Most r.m-loiu Mean ot I'rcTentiox It Wocay. Summer, as housekeepers know, Is the time when it Is difficult to hang meat long enough to be tender without Its becoming tainted. Some advice that the joint be securely bound with stinging nettles and hungup in s canvas bag. Another simple way i to moisten a clean cloth Milh mall vinegar, and wrap it round the meat: while a third pi an, easily carried out by country residents, consists in cov ering the meat with buttermilk, which must be renewed every second day. Buttermilk is said to be good for soaking oid game, hares especially, which can bo made tender by the treatment. The same authority is loud In the praise of salicylic acid, "which has no injurious effect on the system, while the antiseptic propert'e arc great." 'lo prepare it, put a drachm into a wine-bottle, and fill up with lukewarm water. Meat j tst commenc ing to petrify should be brushed over with this at intervals of a few minutes for half an hour, then washed In warm, and lastly in cold water. D;T well bs fore cooking, if it is to bo roasted. Another way to use the acid Is to dis solve a quarter of an ounce in n pint of cognac. Two ounce of this solution may bo added with adrantage to each quart of liquid used for pretrving fruits. Another use soak the palters for laying on jam in tho solution; those that touch tin preserve, we mean, not the outer wrap pers.

CORN CULTIVATION. now to Insure a Hralthr tiraartlt or tli Vauiij Plants When corn is smalt, Wfore the roots have reach d out any c iis"d;'rable di -tanre, neither deep mr shallow plow ing d slurbs the riots. If the soil is wet, running out clean furrows witl. tho diam-md plow, running the bar ol the plow a close as possible to thi plant, often results In decid nl benefiis Later on. after the roots have made n considerable growth and. have ex tended betwosn the rows, deep plowing must of necessity disturb them. A certain per cent, of the nutriment requ'red by the pla it in order to maki a good growth is obtained from lh soil, ns taken up by the feeding roots. If a portion of tb?e were cut off ol torn out it Is evident that there mus bo a decrease in the amount of nu'.ri mcsit taken up, as there i a decreased nnnibrr of vessel to take It o jt of the soil and convey t the plants. As tha plants make growl I f.ir.hcr demand is made ujkii the soil: the roots r.'aeh out, some, of course, makiig a downward course for moist ure, bnt a certain proportion larger in some than in others reach outneai the surface. If the cultivation is shal low very f:-w of these are distnrlje I while if deep cultivation is giren ii h evident that a considerable portioi must be injured. After the weather becomes warm and dry, the soil will dry out rapidly toth depth that it is stirred, so that if dee; cultivation Is given during the sunimei after the corn has m ad a a goor growth, not only is there more o: less disturbances of the roots, bu the soil dries out deeper, and th (dants. in consequence, do not se cure the moisture they need. Ii. the early stages of growth very of lei considerable benefit can bo derived by using the plow in cultivating tin corn, especially if tho season has beei wet, or tho weed have secured a good start to grow before cultivation has been commenced. But later on, after the roots havr extended out between the rows and the B.on has become drier, tin moisture iu tha soil must in a meas ure, be pro tecttdby a shallow stirring of the soil to gUe the best results. With the corn crop keep the snrfact comparatively level, sOrring frequent ly, keeping the tilth fine and level making two or three inches of mellow soil act as a mulch, to retain the moisture and avoid largoly any cut ting or misplacing of the roots of the growing corn. Cor. Farm, Field and Stockman. How to Clean Silver. Tho very best material for cleaning silver or plate that is in constant usr 's soap and water with a soft cloth. If it is tarnished a little damp whiting ind a small brush will soon remove it, but if it has been laying by a small quantity of spirits of wine or ammonia must be added to the whiting and left to dry and then brushed off. The rea son of the superiority of whiting ovet other plate powder is that It contains othing metallic, and therefore can not act upon the silver and wear it away, which is of more importance than to obtain a more brilliant tempor ary polish. Whiting must be washed in two waters and allowed to settle; then pour off tho water and let it dr3 and it will be fine and soft and free from any grit that will scratch the sur face of the silver.

TTtaj tha Formnr Are Had and the Latter liooil for Feolin r l'urpoic. In the ripening of fruit changes oc cur analogous to some which taka place in the stomach. In digestion, the elements of food are made to com bine chemically with water as chem istry says, they become "hydrated." This combination liquifies them and puts them In just the right condition to be absorbed and assimilated. Among the changes which take place in tha ripening of fruit Is the hydration of its food substance, so that more than half of it has only to be separated from the pulp, or pomace, by diffusion to ba ready for absorption and use. Thi makes the main difference be tween green fruit and ripe. In green fruit this process of hydration has not been accomplished, and if it be used as food it must be done by the stomach, a a task to which a weak one Is of . en not equal. There is nothing in a green apple that would be unwholesome or objectionable if it could be easily digest ed but there's the rub. Tho si arch ol a potato is good food, but it requires to undergo changes and to become hydrated, which calls for considerable labor from the stoniaim. Not so with the acids and other carbhydrutes of ripe fruit. They are already hydrate 1 and ready to go at once into circula tion. It is the quick impression made upon the organs of taste by this readi ness for use which give3 to fruit so high a relish to all kinds of stock not only, but to the human animal as we'.l. The feeding ralui of apples Is not large; they rank with mangels, turnips. aLbage aud the like. Their food properties arj mostly carbhydrates, or hea" -producing, their protein being only about one-ha'f of one per cent., and their nutritive ratio about one to thirty, and hence are most effective when fed In connection with more ni trogenous food, like clover, but may lie fed sparingly with grass. They have a higher value than the weight of their food constituents Indicates, on account of co nd i mental qualities and from hav ing a large per cent, of those constitu ents in a condition to ba at once ab sorb; d and spproprlated without wait ing for any special action of the stom ach. Using hay as the unit of measure, apples compare with it and other com mon feeding stuffs as follows, per 100 pounds f each: Hay .to Cabbaire IS Corn Jfal l.ld Applea, ripe IT Oat meal, bran and :Turni 16 mid.llinga 1.0 1 Rutabavaa 14 Potatora 29 Mangel 11 Snrar hceta 19 Pear It Parsnip aud carrot .1$ Good ripe apples hare a feeding value of not lesi thai eijht ccuU per bushel of fifty pounds, aud are as good for other stock as for milk cows. For any one who has stock to consume them, it is as much of a loss to w;.s!e good apples as to waste good roots. AYhen fed with re asm and appropriate food they are health-inspiring as will as nutri.ious, aud are only injurious heu f'd immoderately. An experi ment iu feeding three cows with mo ler ately sour apples, ripe aud mellow, for several weeks t the rate of twelve to twenty pounds, to each cow daily, gave me a finer flavored butter than I ever saw from grain or grass. I have known others to feed t'lem in larger quantity and for a long. r time with satisfactory result, and their butter to be not oiWy fine-flavored, but to have remarkable keeping quality, and the stock to remain p rfecily h?althy. I have also proved them to make cxcel ent milk for cheese. The managers of cheese factories have noticed an im provement and increase of milk when their patrons' cows have been fed mod erately with apples. Prof. L. B. Ar nold, in X. T. Tribune. Despite some prejudice, as well as some valid objections, against pork as an article of diet, it continues to be more largely used than any other kind of meat. There are several reasons for this. It has less waste, bone and offal than any other Animal food. It is easily kept and fattened, even by those who have little room, and when salted it cm be kept with less liability of spoiling than most other meats. This last point is seldom thought of, but has as much to do with the popu larity of pork as any other of its ad vantages.
