Historic Landmarks of Londo n. One by one London’s historic landmark s are departing.

The general form and certain outward indications may properly be considered with care in selecting cows or in Attempts to estimate their relative value where actual tests of quantity and quality of product are not practicable. There is a fairly well defined “ beef form ” in cattleâ€"nob abreed characteristic, but. approached by most cattle classed as superior as meat producers. In this a side view of the body presents a. close approach to a. parallelogram, as does a rear view, or a. Recbion of the body out across just forward of the hips. while a section just back of the shoulders will be an oval, approaching a circle. There will be a general plump and well rounded appearance. Carefully and elaborately prepared “score cards” have been arranged by which cows may be judged. In these descriptions are given of the different points, and a de- finite assignment to value to each is given in number.a. perfect cow having 100 points. Such cards have much value to the student or beginner in dairy husbandry. They serve to call his attention to the paints thought important, and to accustom him to a careful and methodical examination. On the other hand, I w0uld no more think of purchasing cows or awarding prizes to cows solely on the showing made by the score cards than I would of deciding the relative merit of two friends by a. like method. Different persons properly attach a diiier- out degree of importanceto a. given “point.” and than it is very diflicult to apply arith- metical calculations to final judgment of living things. A very Might inferiority in is number of unimportant point-s [nay make the total “score” less than a decided inferiority in a vitally important point. It in clearly recognized that many good judges do like and use the score card. One point must; aiwuya be kept promin- ent-1y in mind. We may not know exactly how milk is produced, but- we do know that it comes, somehow, from the food. The great dairy cow must. be able and willing to eat, digest, and assimilate large quantities of food. A large abdomen is important, as it is indication of health, vigor, vitality. This suggests the danger going to extremes in insistence on “dairy form.” The cow must be a good animal first; that is,she must have ability to well perform all the functions necessary to preservation of iife and heulth, Fineness of bone or general delicacy of structure may be carried too far. Another commcn complication ini judging pure bred cows is the difiiculty in prorcrly apportloring the relative impor- tance of llrsct’ clamoterietics and general dairy clnrc-terzstim. There is no reason to believe that color, or the size, shape or ntmuce cl horns materially (meets the ability to give milk, but such things are hiker: into account by the breeder. There must be IL considerable modification of de- finition of terms in judging different breeds. That which would be called small or fine in one might be called large or coarse in another breed.

The darker shading shows where otrench has been dug, at the bottom of which is laid a line of tile. The earth is then shoveled back into the trench, after the joints of the tile have been carefully covered with hay to prevent the loose earth from getting into the joints before it has become firmly packed together, some eigh- teen inches at the top being left open. A foot of cobble or broken stones is then plac- ed npon the earth and well packed dowu ; over this is spread six inches of gravel. slightly rounded from side to side. The gravel, and the rocks beneath, cause all water falling upon the surface to at once disappear, while very soon small channels Will be formed, leading down through the ea.th to the tile drain. Not only Will the trials soul. auLhc depeu walk be thoroughly drained in this way, but no small amount of land upon either side as well. One can thus by a. little planning arrange his paths so that they may coincide with the lines where under- drains are needed for the benefit of the land. Drains under the middle of the driveway,-nud under some of the principal walks, may thus be made tn serve a double and most useful purpose. If gravel upon the surface of A path seems too coarse and harsh for the feet, a little clay can he mix. ed with it, the whole making a very good and somewhat porous surface, though to secure the quickest withdrawal of surface water it is advisable to leave the borders of the walk wholly of gravel. Capital Punishment. The kindâ€"hearted people who advocate abolishing the death penalty should keep their eyes on Michigan. In mat State capi-‘ tel punishment was abolished a generation ago, and the result has been an increase in he number of murders. In the ten years‘ ending with 1890 homicides increased in Michigan more rapidly than in any other State. In 1891 and 1892 the total number reached 126. a. large number for a. State with 2,000,000 population. Of the 162 criminals 39 were never tried at all. and only three per cent.of those who were tried received life sentences. Canada, with 5," 000,000 population and the death penalty enforced, makes a far better showing. In this country during the past ten years there were only 223 inurdersmqainst 484 in Mich- igan. Naturally there is something revolt- ing in the idea of hanging a man, but what can suciety do to protect itself when a murderer goes to work. It is not safe to rely upon life imprisonment, for the prisoner may escape, or be pardoned, and again. resume his career of crime. A life for a. life seems to be the only safe rul‘e'n murder cues. Hanging will terrorize some crimlnnls,end it certainly prevents murder- ers from adding to their list of victims. There should be no misguided sentiments in favour of the monsters who deliberately commin murd‘er and arson and felonious assimile upon women. They are better out of the world than in it, and society is never safe while they are alive. The experience of Michigan is a very good argument in favour of retaining the gallows, and it is to be hoped that no other State will make the mistake of abolishing it. Fast Railway Time in England. Arrangements have been completed for running, beginning next month, a train to be known an the American Special Express. It will make the run from London to Liverpool, 201 miles, in three hours and fifty minutes, and. northbound. will make close connections with the transatlantic steamers. The train will make no stops, and its schedule time will be forty-five minutes faster than that of other express trains between the two cities.

Slay he Used In starting a Fireâ€"A Grout Aid to Ihe Cleaners or Sirecisâ€"A Practical and Inexpensive Sanitary invention. A small instrument has been lately in- vented and patented that may solve the problem of how best, to dispose of garbage in cities. It has been called “ The House- hold Cerbonizer,” and is so simple in its construction and its method for use that: it can be applied in any kitchen. The instru- ment, was originally constructed after sug- gestions that were made by Dr.S.H. Durgin, Chairman of the Boston Board of Health. He had one made for his own use,nnd called it “a kitchen garbage dryer.” Hie has been in operation for the last eight, months. and has worked admirably. A PHYSICIAN’S INVENTION FOR DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE. In thejoinb of pipe or elbow that makes the connection between the stove or range and the chimney flue,“ placed a horizontal HOUSEHOLD GARBONIZERâ€"OPEN. cylinder, somewhat larger in diameter than the pipe or elbow and in length about thce its diameter. One end of this cylinder is removable, and attached to the inside of this is a. basket or scoop made of perforated iron a little shorter and smaller than the cylinder itself. The area of space around the basket is equal to the area. of the pipe from the stove, so there can be no obstruction to the draught. Wnen the carbonizer is to be used, by means of a handle the cylinder head and basket are withdrawn and the scoop filled with garbage and replaced. Small quantiâ€" ties of liquid are retained in the bottom of the scoop, which is not perforated. The heat from the fire passes around the basket and through the perforations, driving off the water and reducing the garbage to charcoal; the basket is then withdraw’vn and its contents emptied into the fire, burn- ing with a clear, clean flame without of- fensive smoke. Or the charcoal may be left until morning, and, with the addition of a bit of paper and 3 stick of kindling, used to start a new fire. This operation of driving off the water by slow heat at a moderate temperature does not disengage the noxious gases that are thrown out when the green garbage is placed in a. hot fire; REFUSE BURNEI] AT HOME F‘ "7 C” "' ‘ . . .

WL , ,. r u, The convenient location of the carbonizer permits waste to be put at once into the scoop as fast. as produced, saving steps for the servants and preventing any accumula- tion of offensive matters. The carbonizercan be put into the place of a. joint of pipe of any size ; or, if the height in not enough for a. joint, can itself be used as the elbow or chimney connection. ‘ For sec ranges, arrangements can be made to connecb with the chimney fine. For restaurants, hoLelE, &c., the shape of the carbonizer is slightly changed, and pro- visions are made for properly handling and drying the garbage as circumstances may req uira It appears to be a practical, inexpensive sanitary invention that is capable of doing much to give relief from the garbage nuisance if it does not do away with it entirely. It has been examined by many sanitary engineers and experts, and has found great favor~in their eight. ‘ The use of this or some similar invention on a large scale would stop the carting of garbage throngh the streets, abolish the garbage dumps, do away with all sea dumping and water conteminations, save tremendous sums of money and bring peace and happiness to the souls of the city otfi~ cals whose duty compels them to collect and dispose of this vast bulk of dangeroul and disease-breeding matter. i uni-y. Such a celebration actually occurred ‘ during the month of April in a little village of Hungary, Zsombulga by name, the still happy bridegroom being one hundred and sixteen years of age and named Jean Szath- mary, and his bride buta year his junior. These people were peasants. and among the poorest in the little Hungarian town, but the fact of their having lived to cele- 1 brnte so unique an occurrence as the hundredth anniversary of their marriage has made. them the most honored citizens of the place. The little municipality of Zsombulga has voted them a pension, and - so long as they live they will be taken care of by the village.
