Dr Richardson explains that in the “lethal chznnber,” of which he is the inventor, dogs are put to death by muvsthesia, and not by suffocation. “They go to sleep precisely in the same manner you and I would if we wore about to mid m a surgical operation under chloroform, \ ith the difference that when they {no brought into profound sleep they are allowed to sleep unto death.” Death by drowning is simply six minutes of painful suffocation; death by anesthesia, is a more painless passing away. “ If I had,”says Dr. Richardson, “ to elect whether I would die by drowning or anaesthesia, I should choose nnmsthosia without a moment’s hesitation. I give the dog the benefit of my own choice, which is, I think, fair to him. Cholera i apan. g'ng at dificre in‘uiu cholera has been found A “lollml ( lmmbm.

I am greatly in favor of breeding most of the covs to come in in the fallâ€"September and October. A cow will give more milk in a year as she goes to freed pasture just at the period when she naturally begins to shrink in her milk, and she gives the most milk at the season when butter brings the best price. All the work of the dairy comes hard during the hot months, and the more cows we can have dry then the better. After long: experience wiLh both spring and fall calve I much prefer to raise the latter. A fall c. lf can be kept in a “urn: emble where it will thrive well all Winter, and go to pasture when weaned from nill: at the season of abundant and succulent food, and get a. good start before fly time. A spring calf is weaned at the season of failing pasture with a long winter on dry food before it. 3,1 Soft, 11' av} hair is w personal beauty any 1101112111 can possess, if she only has patience in puisuing the 111etl10ds piescribed \\ here nature has supplied the pretty crinkles, one has only to let her have her way by not draw mg the hair too tight; but 111 the end, as fine an effect may be obtained through imitation waves wrought with comb, pins and liberal use of elbow grease and water, says the Illustrated American.

C0., of Lincoln Two of these are used for working the dynamos, and the other for the fog-horn. Two of the engines are kept con- stantly in steam, one each for the light and the fog-horn, the third should either of the others break down. In the centre of the chamber is the reflector, a cylindcrcomposed of a series of sixteen piano-convex oondem sers or lenses, each 1-1 inches in diameter. ; These are set in the midst of hundreds of beautiful prisms, and the whole separated1 by strips of lead into sixteen divisions, so that when the reflector revolves the lead-en bars come in front of the carbon point and so obscure the light for six seconds ‘ each. The revolving mechanism is worked by a small compressed air engineâ€"in itâ€" self only like a fair-sized toyâ€"which can be started by a touch of the finger. A handle is provided, so that should the engine become disabled the reflector -ould be turned by hand, a regulator being fitted to mark the speed. The electric light is obtained from a carbon lamp of special pattern. The ordinary light is equal to three million candles, but a light of six mil- lion eandle power can be, and has been, ob- tained. This maximum would, however, only be used during a dense fog. It is im- possible for any one who has not seen it to im- agine the wonderful brilliance of the light, but some idea may be formed when it is stated that it can be distinctly seen 45 miles away, and that at the Needleg, 14 miles dis- tant, it is quite easy to read very fine print by means of the reflection. There have been in years past various plans suggested to connect the upper waters of Lake Huron with Lake Ontario by means ofa ship canal that should be large enough to float our lake vessels when loaded. If any such scheme werepraetically feasible it is e tsy to see, by a glance at the map, that an great saving in distance and time would be eifect- ed in the cheap transportation of Western grain to the Eastern seaboard. Butthis far the work necessary for the accomplishment of such a project has been of too enormous a character and calling for too great an out- lay of money to war ant any attempt at un- dertaking it. A kindred enterprise has been revived of late in Ontario and is now being discussed with much interest. It is an immense ship railway to traverse substantial- ly the same route as that of the proposed canal. The “lay” of the country is declared by engineers to be favorable. The route would be from Georgian Bay, on the north- eastern eorner of Lake Huron, to the mouth of the Humber River, west of Toronto The distance between Lakes Huron and Ontario is only sixty-nine miles, which may well be called a “short out.” It is estimated that on such a line three large locomotives could take a vessel of 2,000 tons weight, vessel and cargo, or more than 1,000 tons register, at the rate of ten miles an hour. To trans- port the same amount of cargo by rail Would require five locomotives, with trains of twenty cars each, and each car holding ten tons. Of couse this project does away with all cost and delay of transshipnient. Vessel and cargo would be taken out of the water at one end and letdown into it at the 0th r. ‘he total cost is estimated at $12,000,000, being one~half the cost of a ship canal of the same capacity. This route would save 428 miles of lake navigation and 28 miles 9; canal between Chicago “and MWDe- trait Tribune. There are all sorts of tricks to learn about railroad riding in England, and some of them give a third-class passenger greater privacy than a first-class one secures. For instance, having met two friends at Liverpool for the purpose of journeying back to London with them, I was told by a shrewd Englishman to take a tliird~class compru‘tmcnt, and “102th it right with the guaid” 50 {1,5 tohave the box all to ours hes. \‘Ce purshased three third-class tickets, and prmnised the guard who showed us to our suits four shillings, or one dollar, if we were not disturbed by strangers on the journey to London. He en- tered into the spirit of the unjust {tr migc. ment heartily. “"3 did so, and he ran off, to return in a. minute with a long, narrow strip of paper dripping with paste. This he put. upon one Window of our compartment. It was a print- Cd form that he had filled up with writing in pencil, and it read as follox s: “Two of you he lookin’ out of the why dows, as if it was crowdm ,” said he; “and one of you stand before the door on theplat- form.” He turned people away until the train started, and stood guard at our door at ev ‘ station except one. Then he was busy elsewhere, and our box was invaded by a. man and Wife and a second woman and four children. The guard saw them soon after they had entered the compartment, and he “shooed” them all out much the same as a woman drives chickens in o barn-yard. The firSt-class fare for that LEGO-mile ride would have been $57.25, mt our tickets cost on1y 11?. Afterwahi I never saw men filling the ddor to a compartment that I did not think of the guard’s instructions to us at Liver- pool; and, indeed, two months later, while in Devonshire, an acquaintance I had formed in that ezirtlil‘Jr paradise bade lne stand he- side him in the door of an empty compart- ment so that we might secure it all to our» selves, as we did.~â€"Julian Ralph, in [far- per’s Wee/sly. It is not at all generally known that Ger" many carries on a very large trade in the rearing and exporting of canaries, and that the largest establishment in the world for the breeding of these creatuixs is situated within the domains of that Empire, away up among the Hartz Mountains of Prussia. From this and few surroundings, but much smaller nurseries, no fewer than 130,000 birds are despatchcd every year to the Unit- ed States and Canada ; while, in the same time, at least 3000 go to Britain, and a‘bout 2000 go to Russia in Europe.
