Some â- aeh oaaea were laat spring reported in the laf^Hah agricoltaral papera. Cows ud Gony-Gomb.V It ia probable tiiat not one farmer in a hwidied, saa the L to Stock Monthly, ever tiubka of naing laoh a thing aa the carry- eomb and brash on his cows, althoagh thoae inatramenta are used regolarly in the horse atafale. Yet there is jnst as mach necessity fot keeping the akin of the oow in good con- dHioa aa that of the hone. No m--tter iHietiier the cow ii aaffered to ran at large in the pasture all the time, or ia kept in the ataUa or corral and fed, the process of carry- ing Mid broshing will consame bat littie time, and the farmer will ^be amply repaid for hia troable, both in the better appear- anoe and increased yield given by the cowa for tikeir good treatment. That a carrying la neoessary for the health and is gratef ol to tlie animals may be seen by the habit whicdi oowa have of "brastaing" eaon othtr for a half -hoar at a time with the spiny sa: face of tiMk tongaea. The evident signs of satia- faotion which they give when andergoinK thia j^rooeaa shoald famish a hint to the ob- servant farmer which needa bat little tronble to aot apon. In some parts of Europe wh-^re oowa are kept in the bam nearly all the time, their ooata are as carefaJy combed and attended to aa is the hair of a child's head, and it is regarded as a matter of ne- eeasity. No doabt this suggestion may be huighed at by many who are acoastoxed to let both horses and cows go a'most nnsared f(w from one year's end to another, but the fact nevertheless remains that keeping a eew's skin in good order and cleanly is ot as mnoh impoitanoe to her well-beine as keep- ing her well supplied w:th nntritioas food. Timely Suggestions' 9wo recipes for tanning akin wiih the far am, a subject about which we have frequent inqniry, are given by the Shoe and Leather Eepertsr "Take two parts each of alum and fait and one of saltpeter, all well pulverined. Clear the flesh of fatty matter. Sprinkle it white with the mixture. Fold in edges and rdl up rtmitin four days then wash witii ckan water, then with soap and water. Pull the skin when drying, to make it soft. Another recipe is L y the wet skin on a amooth slab or hard board scrape with a doll knife until all loose flesh and film is re- moved then wash off in s ft water. Take a glass or stone jar, put in an oimce of oil of vitriol and a gallon of rain or river wat-er. Let it steep in tuis for about half an hour. Take ix; out, work it with the hands ontil dry, when it will be pliable and soft. Tbe aaoie worked the softer. Use no gretwe. ' A visit to a friend's house where the cis- tern water is very foul showed that every- body doesn't yet know the advantage of drawing from near the top, instead of tho bottom, to have the water always sweet.

Thoa, in oaae of hard showers, the cistern is thorooghly rlnaed out. The importance of having cows calve in tlM fall, so aa to have the heaviest flow of â- dk in the winter, when milk and butter ate high, cannot be too well cnderstood. SoBBS farmers value fall calvea as highly as spring calvea, for the reason that tiiey are leady to turn on grass as aoon as it comes in Ae spring, and ao get the full benefit of a aaaamar'a paatnre.

Benan ia about to come before the world aa a dram^ic author; though, as the " Fretro do Nemi" is in five long aots, and is moreover, announced as a " phiiO!'phical drama," it can hardly be intended for stage representation.

Prince Alexander of Bulgaria's LoueeholJ is very limited in number. Th(re are four servants, all of the sterner sex- Germans â€" whom the Pricce brought nith him from his old home in Hease, besides a ball porter and the^ Ilesto-Baja, who is a martial-looking Montenegrin, with smartly turned up mous- tache. The Aides-de Gamp are former com- rades of his Highness, the most prominent among them being Baron Gorvin, who â-  was Captain of the company in the Rossian garde- dn-coip3 in which the Prince served aa Lieutenant.

A very simple, though somewhat t xpen- sive, arrangement of telephone wires has been introdused in a Glasgow merchant's office by which, it is stated, the annoyances cf inducti'..n are prevented. The o£ce is connected with the proprietor'a dwelling house, some thirty miles distant, by a pri- vate line. To prevent disturbance from in- duction of other wires, and the wires, he employs a retnn^., wire, and the wires are simply arranged in a spiral or heli- cal form, as follows Sapptise each past to be provided with four inalators, arranged at tbe four angles of a square, Ihe sending wire is attached to insulator 1 on the first post, 2 en the second, 3 on the third, 4 on the fourth, 5 on the fifth, and so on The return wire is a'taoh^d to the insulators at the oppciiite comers of the tqaare, or what would correspond to that position, thus formipg the helix. It seems that the want cf entire success with steel sleepers on 6cme of the Englidh railways has led to the substitution of an article which, it ia thought, will meet the deficiencies hitherto experienced. Accord- ing to the new system, the metallic sleeper is rolled to the requisite trongb-like section. Under each rail ia a sole plate to strengthen it thero. The chair is formed of two jaws made of steel plate, stam;:ed icto form and ribbed centrally so aa to give strength to re- sist the preasurs of the wedge. The jjiwa, sole plate, and sleeper an united by rivets passing through the three thicknesses. The iron sleepers that these an intended 'to take the place of were suffioieatly elaatio and did not mat sensibly, but, being aeriooa- ly weakened by tiie lan^e holea neoeasitated by the character ef the burteainga, and these holea lieing sitoated on other ride of the raU joat wherotlie strain on tbe tleepers waa Kreatea^ the latter wen oontinally breaking there, thus nndering it obvious that the aokoowledged advanti^ea of metal sleepen must be resized under aa improved syatem.

How to Give GhziBtniM Frafleats. After the momeatous qtieattoa of what to give at Christoiaa haa beea decided, oomea the one of how the gifta ahall be baatowed. The time hoB'ired atooklag aa a reoeptaole for the gifto baatowed by Santa Claua heada the list. The child who haa never had the pleaaure of timidly takfag a fint look at his laden atockfag, atrangely changed from the gauut alender^eaa fa whioh he hadpeft it the night before, o a bumpy, knobby pSumpneaa very anggestive of faterior riohnees, and of giyly drawicg oat the topmoit bandlea, and tnmblfagly faveatigating the far ngiona A the toe, haa missed one source Of joy ^that should have fuUen to his lot. A pleaatnt faahiou Is to put a aprig ef oedar on the front of each stocking near tbe top. The cliildrea, ao matter how oold and atormy the weather, enjoy gathering the greea themselves the day before Christmas, and trimmfag off a sprey for eaoh atooUng. When ibe atookioga an hang at bed- time, each is dressed with a tfay aprig ef oedar, and after the children have wonn'l up their frolic with aChriatmaaaoBg, they 'go to bed to dream of the next muml- s'a pleaaurea. When two or three fanmiea are to be gathered together for the holiday aea- aon, an appropriate holder for the f^fta la a Urge atookfag, roomy enough to hold all the preaenta, large and amaU, ex- cepting, of course, such thfaga aa a rookbu- hone and a piano, r r such of their oousfaa m size as may be faolnded fa the collection. Tne stookfag should be made of bright- colund oaaibrio,.out the shape of a atockfag, but of a abort aad atabliy one, aad trimmed with green. It ia hung fa ite place by the mantle piece befon the younger member a of the party are obliged to aay good-night. The gifts are given fato the charge of one or two persons to be placed fa the stookfag, which is emptied of ite treasures* on Christ- mas momfag at aa early an hoar as wide- awake juveniles and nap-Icrfag elders can agree upon. Each gift ia done np fato a neat package, plafaly marked with the name of the person for whom it ia fatended. Some one appofated to unload the stockit g, and two or three aesistanto from among the children distribute the packages as the names are read. Of Christmas tnea then are all siz^a, ahap. a, and kfads. The t^ ee may tower to the ceilfag fa a richly fumiahed parlor.'or it I may reach th;t height of a few feet only fa some cottoge, but it is very doubtful U the lofty specimen will afford mon pleasure than its lowly neighbor. It does not teke much work to make a tree look gay and featlve. From branch to branch are hung chaina of gilt and ailver pa- per, made by cutting the paper int- narrow atripa three incces long, and pasting half the strips into rfags by joinfag the ends to- gether, then all fato a long ohafa by alippfag the other strips through tiie ruogs already made, and joiiilDg the ends as before. Wreaths of bright berries are placed on the topmost boughs. Hollow egg ahella, color- ed light shades, or those oovend with gold and silver paper, are hung on the tips of branches by t^ing a thread around a tassel made .f tissue-paper out into very fine strips, passirg the thred through the holes fa the egg, nd tying other esd around the branch. Tne best effect ia obtained by makug the holes fa the nide fastead ef the end of the shells. Tiry horns of colored paper, are also hung, large end down, fom the branches wher- ever they can be placed with safety, are put email oandlea. When the preaeate are ar- ranged to show to the beit advantage, and the candles lighted, the tne makes a pretty sight to hoth yonig and old.
