In these days of steam's and in this great center of American civilization it is curious to find a regularly-established ferry with muscle for a motive power, says the New York Herald. It carries the thoughts back some t thousand or more years to the time when galley slaves to their scats and oars, for, the ferry boat which plies daily be- this city and id is of modern design, the row- are no less slaves than were those who manned the banks of great royal trireme. These modern galley slaves are not chained lo their oars, it is true, but, they are unwilling prisoners, who toil from dawn to dusk and from dusk to nearly midnight for no other pay than the coarse clothes they wear and the cheap food their official masters furnish them. This ferry is one of those which the commissions of charities and on operate between the public institutions on and the city. It runs from the workhouse dock two-thirds of the way up island, across the East river t a little boat landing at the foot of East Seventy-eighth street. The boat leaves the island every hour from six in the morning until eleven at night, and after making its land returns at It is a very picturesque little ferry, and when the tide is running races through the deep, narrow channel the voyage is one apt to bring a flush the cheek of a nervous pas- used to the steady safety of steam transportation. The boat is a long, heavy hull, of anything but grace. It is operated by six stalwart, rowers from the workhouse, chosen for their weight and muscle, for they have to contend with the stiffest tides which flow about Manhattan island, now that the perils of Hell Gate have been removed. They wear the coarse, gray uniform of the work- house, and in stormy weather don picturesque yellow oilskins and fore and aft cap. A keeper in uniform and brass buttons commands the craft and sits in the stern with one hand on the tiller. No grizzled sea captain ever handled his tiller with more lordly air than the commander of the work- house ferry, or delivered his orders in sterner and more emphatic tones than ho. It is a joy to witness the magnificence of authority with which be yells the order to and curses the wretched slave who does not get his boat hook out at the nick of time. The dock is perhaps a mile farther south than the city landing, and that makes things in- when the tide is foaming its full career. yells the keeper, and the galley slaves lean over and put all their muscle into the hearty strokes. The swirling water bubbles into the bow and stern, and the big waves in the wake of the great sound steamer that has just passed rock the clumsy craft until the water dashes over amidships. By the time the rowers have fetched the boat across the rushing tide has carried it north quite opposite Seventy-ninth street, and all that remains to be done is to seize the timbers of the landing with the boat hook and pull up alongside. snaps the keeper, and the rowers, blowing with their efforts, pull in their heavy oars.

The wind blew so hard, and it was so cold and so dark, that he eluded to go back and wait until the shop was open. He did not whistle on his way back. He was cold, and his short ached pushing through the snow; and the court was so lonely with its two rows of high tenement houses looking gigantic in the flick- light. It was very very hard on him, Chester thought, to be obliged to go to the grocer's twice such a morning. It was a kitten's cry, and half smothered and half frozen Chester thought the poor thing was by the faint, cracked voice. Chester swung his lantern this way and that, wondering where the little thing could be. Nothing but the unbroken snow could be seen. Ho on swinging his lantern and kitty, and finally he thought he saw the snow move not far from him, and the poor, little, cracked came nearer. Chester stooped down with tern close to the ground and walked toward the moving snow. Suddenly be dipped down his hand and pulled out a mite of a Maltese kitten. The look the mite gave him went straight to his heart. He gave a shake to get rid of the snow, and popped her up on his shoulder, where she clung with all her might. When Chester opened the door into the kitchen sister Emma was standing before the clock, her hands half outstretched and with a very surprised face. it's stopped It isn't four o'clock; it's twenty minutes past twelve.

She was greatly confused by this sudden flurry, and her funny blink and her cracked set Emma to laughing. believe the clock was stopped a purpose so that you would get up before it was morning and go out and find this said Emma, when she had heard the story. The next time Chester went to the grocer's the familiar light was in the window, and lights here and there in back windows, and early risers here and there in street at the head of the court, and Chester found that he had started out at three o'clock instead of four. said Emma that night, when Chester came home to supper, kitty was sent here to keep me company.

Kitty liked that, and in minute or two thought she would like another; so she jumped up on the table, pushed a spool out with her paw, rolled it over the edge of the table, and jumped down after it. This was such fun that she came back and pawed out another spool, and then another. This play con- In the bas- had been taken out except a piece of paper that she could not get hold of.

Darkness woke up with a start, and in a great fright set up her back and hissed at the object spinning about the room. Emma caught sight of kitty, and seizing her in her arms hugged her and laughed over her until she cried. Chester noticed when he came home that night how lightly Emma's feet stepped over the floor and how easily she smiled when she talked; kept smiling she wasn't saying anything to smile at.

The post office department has be- gun I collection of stamps of all the foreign countries of the world, as well as those of the United States. Capt. Brooks, superintendent of the foreign mail service, has two large stamp albums, containing places for every stamp issued, and makes requests of the various nations for a set of their stamps or specimens. There am in all about stamps issued, and up to date about have been secured. A great difficulty in securing a complete sot arises from the fact that certain principalities of Europe, now in- In the domains of nations, continue the use of their individual stamps. For instance, says a Wash- correspondent of New York Times, and in Germany, use the same stamps did when governed by their grand dukes. These puss only in the principalities named and are not good even over the rest of Ger- many. This foot causes much con- fusion, and extra expense to tourists traveling on the continent. If an American in buys a stamp of that principality and mails it In Berlin, or even to anyone in America, the letter reaches its destination, but an extra charge of cents is made before delivery.

Anyone who has ever suffered at any time from the mania for collect- in any of its forms, must feel it in these days a constant lax his powers of self-restraint to keep his hands off of the contemporary poster. The posters in particular with which ; some of the publishers announce the new numbers of magazines, and sometimes new books, are a constant temptation. Anyone who has ever Collected anything must feel that j they are too fascinating to be neg- and that not to gather them as they appear is a neglect of that is almost criminal. For the solace of persons who have this impulse and refuse to yield to i it. it is a pleasure to point out that, after all, the collector is a slave to his hobby, and the more things he collects the more masters he puts over himself. To be able to see pretty things, and not to be bitten with the desire to take them home and salt them down, even when they can had for the asking, is an at- which promises to be quite as ratable for its rarity as most of the things that ordinary collectors acquire. When see the awful length to which the postage-stamp mania has and the prodigious accumulations of photographs which overwhelm most contemporary lies, we may surely justify ourselves in sou v stiffening of our resolution not to drift into the habit of hoard- even pretty things that we do not really want. It is SO easy to be- gin Collecting, and so unsatisfactory to stop after one has once started Let us be of us, maintain that to be a collector is a distinction, just as it is not to have had one's picture in the Weekly.

It may safely be assumed that the of is the engine and then the express car, Why, then, not separate them as much as by putting the express car the last in the train Have alarm bells in each coach and sleeper, which can be rung by the express messenger when he Is directed or requested, at this unusual time and place, to open the door of his car. In each coach and sleeper have, in a glass front case, similar to those now in use for and saw, two repeating shot- guns, each magazine containing five buckshot cartridges, thus giving from six to twelve most effective weapons into the hands of the train crew and passengers. The alarm bells should be electric, though it is believed that the ordinary cord bell could be made to serve the pose. When the messenger sounds his tocsin of war, there would soon be a sufficient force of brave men at the express car to give the robbers a warm welcome. For the latter to cover the engine cab and each door side of each coach and sleeper, would require a force of men too great in numbers to make profitable. Besides, the greater number of accomplices or principals, the greater the chances of capture and the possibilities of some one turning Under such an arrangement in the make-up of a train, should the rear or express car be the sole point of attack, then the first step would be to cut this car loose from the train, and then loot it. The automatic air brake would give the alarm to the engineer, and he, in turn, lo the coaches; or, better still, the con- electric wire could be so ranged as to -sound the alarm when the car parted from the I rain. Should the engine, as in the past, be the first point of attack, then the crew and passengers have advantage of being between the forces of robbers, and, with every probability, can throw the greater number in the tight, and, like, repulse or defeat in detail.

In 1885 the consumption of beer in England was gallons per head in Scotland, and in Ireland. the consumption of cider in Eng- land, 0.4, and none at all in the other two countries; the of spirits in England, 0.8; in Scotland. 1.9; in Ireland, con of In England, 0.5 in Scotland and 0.2 in Ireland. The English drinker's partiality for beer and the Scotch and the Irish drink preference for spirits is clearly shown. When these amounts are convert ed into their equivalents of alcohol, we see that Ireland consumes least 1.4 gallons per head, Scotland comes next with and England heads the list with 2.13 gallons of alcohol for each man, woman child of the population; this, by a curious and undesigned coincidence, is just under one ounce a day per head, the quantity which so many medical authorities assume can be safely taken the physiological quantity which the country has heard so much of late years. Children seldom touch alcohol, most women take little, and many men do not take any at all; so that the habitual consumers of alcohol. whether they drink to excess or riot, get through three or four times the amount which the leading medical authorities assert should not be ex- the Year Round.

Dr. sent his bill to father, and it was through that bill that the fact became known that Milton had the champion corn raiser. The bill was for two hundred and thirty-five corns and two dollars per corn, the bunions seeming to have been over- looked.

The lawsuit was heard be- fore Justice of the Peace Osborne. There were no precedents to go by, as the market price of corns had never before been made a question of legal adjudication, but, having a few corns himself, and calculating what their absence would be worth to him, the justice assessed the value of the leading citizen's feelings owing to the removal of her groups of corns and bunions accordingly, and gave Dr. judgment for twenty-four dollars and fifty cents, or just four shillings a corn and a bunion.

Please tell me if there is any remedy or a The answer to this in substance There are preventive measures which may be used and which may ward off the disease in a large number of cases. Indeed, some breeders claim to lie able to cure cholera if they can get to the animals before the appetite is gone, but not after food is refused. This remedy or preventive is carbolic acid. How little will or how much the patient can bear I am not informed, but about drops would be a dose for an adult and less for younger swine. The better way to feed and medicine with food would be to pare all food immediately before feed- stir as much medicine as needed for the pigs being fed. Then clean up and disinfect afterward. Clean all foul places to which pigs have access. Keep sleeping places warm and dry. Try to prevent buzzards from visiting pig runs and feeding places. Bury the dead, or better cremate dead disinfect with carbolic or so- or with a cheap solution made by suspending a coarse bag containing pounds of in a barrel of soft water. After a little time the solution can be used as wanted more water added until the cop- is gone from the bag.

This recipe might lie extended by adding lb. lb. black antimony and I lbs. of iron, pulverized. dependence should be placed on prompt destruction of dead and proper disinfection immediately afterward, accompanied by the of carbolic acid with this mix- kept where pigs can eat it if they are inclined to do E.

One of the most destructive pests of domestic animals is the ox-warble or botfly, This para- site, while probably not very painful to the animal infested, is expensive to the owner of the animal since hides or skins showing warble holes are docked one-third of their value. The presence of the maggots further decreases the amount and quality of the animal's flesh so that on the for a two year-old steer, the loss is apt to be above or The fly which causes this damage is about the size of and very much re- a honey bee. It deposits its eggs in spring, during the period of shedding of hair, on the legs, tail and belly of cattle, preferably By licking these parts the eggs are taken into the animal's gullet where the mag- got hatches and clings to the walls.

The warble fly is not a great and if all the maggots infesting cattle . on farm are killed in January or February that farm will be nearly or quite free from the parasite for some years unless introduced with new stock.

Hears must be slaughtered or colts weaned ac- cording to the moon. Please give any or cite me to literature upon the above c H. I. Farmers, N. C by H. B. Battle, Director N. C. Experiment The belief that the moon has some upon the growth of crops and various other deeds of men is wide- spread in certain regions. There can be no reasonable claim that the moon does really influence any thing upon the earth in this way, and such doubtless have descended from our ancestors, who thought very much more of natural objects and their effect upon their actions than we in this day. one reason why this idea obtained credence is that formerly those who considered such to be the case were very observant and very careful in their work, and hence necessarily were more such being the case they believed more than before as to the cause of their success and telling others of it caused them also to become firm believers. To give an illustration of this belief, one part of the country may think that a certain phase of the moon indicates dry weather, whereas in other pa of the country, others may believe that it portends wet weather, or these may be entertained by different parties in the same region. Of course it is possible for these various results to cur at the same place and at the same time.
