A recent °uvular is:Rica by the Agricultural Department with respect to the application of insecti- cides gives the following as alormula to be used against tree bugs, plant lice and scale insect% Kerosene two gallons, water one goalie% oilmen soap or whale -oil soap one half pound. For the treatment of the ap- ple scab it recommends the following to be applied jest as the flowers are opening, then 12 or 14 days later, and then twice more at similar intervals : Dissolve four pounds of copper sulphete in 10 or .12 gal- lons of water and stir in five pounds of washing or sal soda; then add three pints of strong aqua, ammonia; dilute to 45 gal- lons. The circular advises that for the curculio on the plane, cherry, peach, etc., two or three applications be rna.de during the latter part of May for the purpose of de- seroyine the adults before they lay their eggs. Tinder -leaved plants such as melons and. cucumbers, are injured repeated ap- plications of poison ; while plants vtith smoother and firmer leaves, such as the orange, are little affected. Root plants, such as beets, turnips, radishes, etc., are but little injured ; whereas foliage plants show what injury there is at once, and holey -bees are liable to be killed by the poison if applied when the plants are in bloom, The poison in all cases should be iiighly diluted, and following a rain another tpplioation should not be made for several aye. On the whole, the Department be - /ova; from its investigation that insecti- eldes are not severely injurious to vegetable tie, and it recommends their use in otoderate quantities and with discretion. They Give Great Satiefieetien. Taking Clydesdales end cart horses to einglend seems very much like taking coals to Newcastle. The London Graphic, of .APril 28, coutains several illustrations of Canadian carriage horses sold at auetion for good prices, and speaks most favorably of their appearance. A consignment of heavy horses was sold at the Barbican repository. Judging from the following remarks of the Londoo Sporting Life they gave every satis- faction "Tho very large attendance at the Bar- bican repository yesterday (Friday) was eoubtless in a great measure duo to the fact ',bat a number of good class cart and van horsee were to be °timed for sale. A. large piantity of contractors' stook was advertis- ed to be sold without reserve, and. the horses, ;arts and harems found new owners at goad prices, but undoubtedly the great attraotion Pas the consignment of ,Shire -bred and Clydesdale horses from Canada, which ar- rived in London only on Saturday last, and in consequence were not in what might be termed sale condition, but it was very evi- dent that there were many good judges present, who saw promising materiel in the 43 young cart and van horses which were lisposed of without reserve. Under Mr. 3.ymell's hammer there was keen competi- aon for them, and from OS guineas to 35 theyfotiod ready purchasers. The aecond consignment now en route will be sold on May 13, as will be seen by advertisementin our columns, and as they are spoken of as superior to the horses just sold, there will doubtless be a large attendance at Barbican on the second Friday in May. The large quantity of miscellaneous properties wore tot gli disposed of until past 8 o'clock, and tihe Prices throughout the day must be con- eidered good." i There s little doubt that a great future is 4 store for the Canadian horse trade. About the Silo. In answer to the inquiry of a young far- mer on certain points relative to the silo, John Vould states that if a man can raise en acre of silage corn for 89, and produce from it 18 tons of feed, ho can easily put it in a mile for $4 more. This would make the total cost 75 eta a,ton. The question of the silo,as has been repeated thousands of times, is only a matter of storing the corn iodder in the meat succulent and easily digested conditien. Herein lies its great economy. The silo can add nothing. The situation is the same as with the canning of green corn. Our snothers used to cut the corn from the cob and dry ie just as we cut up the corn foddee and dry itt for the cow. When the proems of canning came, preserving all of its aatural jaices in a fresh succulent state, everybody said it tasted better and was oetter. The cow gives the sante verdict bout good ensilage as against dry corn fod- der. There are thousands of dairy farmers who have been halting between two opinions for yetus, full of doubt whether a silo would really pay. From our observation last win- ter in a tour of two months among New York and New England daieymen, we judged that there was much less progress in the East on this silo question than in Wis- consin. It would seem as if the larger ex- pense of cattle foods in the East would make the silo a favorite there more than in the West. The situation shows, however, the great value there is to any community of farmers in agitation. In Wisconsin, through the missionary work of John Gould in the Farm Institutes, Prof. Henry at the Experimental Station, and the strenuous efforts of Hoard's Dairyman and the agricultural press, an immense amount of silo nformation has been projected into the meds of our farmers. It has borne fruit in the way we have indicated. In many townships in this state a majority of elle dairy farmers have provided themselves with a silo. They have not yet come to operate the same to its largest economy, for if they did, they would provide for ensilage to feed during the dry pastorage in summer. i Serious loss n the shrinkage of milk just as it is just beginning to increase in profit, would be avoided if they would do this. Then again, the majority run out of ensilage too early in the spring. The sharp little object lesson we gave last week, showing .he rapid shrinkage of milk in the dairy of adr. Whiting of this eacinity, when his en- iilage gave out, told the story in dollars mid cents. The wise dairyman should cal- culate to provide if possible at least seven tons of ensilage per cow. That will usually give a surplus that can be used in summer. But that surplus, if designed for :Jammer use, should be put in a silo by itself and not neened imtil it can be steadily fed down. It Is easy to calculate the necessary amount per COW by the following rule : Five tons of ensilage will provide sufficient ensilage for 200 days, which is about the length of the foddering season in these northern lati- • tudes. This will require a storage capacity of 200 square feet. Multiply the number • of tows te 'et:wintered by 200 audit will give the storage necessary for winter use. Then • provide ia a meparate silo 80 square feet per • cow, for soiling during drouth in summer. If itLend required it will be just as good for the eee7ting *enter.

A good story is told of an innocent old lady who never before had ridden in a train. She was a passenger on one of the Eng- lish Midland railways at the time of a recent collision, wben a goods train ran into a passenger train, smashing one of the cars, shaking the passengers, and upsetting things generally. As soon as he could re- cover his scattered senses, the guard went in search of the venerable dame, whom he found sitting solitary and alone in the car (the other passengers having poeght terra firma), with a very placid expression upon her countenance, notwithstanding she had made a complete somersault over the seat in front, and her bandbox and bundle had gone unceremoniously out of the window. "Are you hurt?" inquired the guard, "Hurt I Why ?" said the old lady. "We have just been run into by a lug- gage train; and many of the passengers are shaken," said the guard. "La, me I I didn't know but that was the way you always stopped," was the old lady's remark. Whey is IntoxioatinR. • EXPLOSION ON A SHIP. When aastSeeanettrroeVmessItaltus Shaken 2wut despetchfrorn San • Francisco, says. - Tho steamer Willamette Valley arrived here to -day with the crew of the ship Se, Charles, coal laden, for San Francisco froxn Nasstaimo, and which was wrecked off the Oregon coast on May 17, by an explosion. On the morn- ing of the explosion Michael Flynn, the second mato, and a sailor, named Leuberg went to the fore hatch to get some potatoes. They had hardly disappeared through the hatch when the explosion took place. Flynn and Lenberg were thrown some distance in the air, and fell on the deck. Both were badly injured and burned. The ship was generally wrecked by the force of the ex- plosion. The rigging was set on fire and the pumps would not work. Capt Chap- inan was found in his cabin pinned to the floor under the furniture. His spine woo broken. The men hastened to lower the three boats that belonged to the ship, and abandoned her in a short time. When last seen the mainsail was on fire, and the ship was going down gradually. At the time the vessel was 200 miles from land. The crew, nineteen men in all, suc- ceeded in making Cape Foulweather itt safety. The Captain died. Flynn and Len - berg were taken to Newport, Ore. Flynn is not expected to live. Expenses of a Society Girl Sochity admits that a girl eau live fairly on $6,000 a year, but to live as most of her friends do she needs at least 815,000, says the New York Morning Journal. That sum will permit of her entertaining in a small way, of giving an occasiouve theater or luncheon party, of keeping her brougham or hansom, or of dressing well. That is, if she lives at home ; otherwise it cannot be done, Miss Flora Davis spends that sum without taking into consideration her carriage, and Grace Wilson, the pretty sister of Mrs. Og- den Geoid, disposes of a similar sum withs out any difficulty. Miss Mae, Knowlton, the Brooklyn beauty and heiress of $3,000- 000, spends nothing like her income ; still few girls are more generous or lavish intheir expenditures. The Turnure girls aro also good dispensers of money, Jeanne spending quite a snug competence upon her tailor- made gowes alone. Miss Helen Gould is sparing in her expense, once remarking not many years ago at wheel to the writer, that she was not even allowed to have a seat in church. At that time she attended Dr. Pax - ton's church, but Mr. Gould had not become one of its shining lights, Miss Helen Phelpe Stokes also manages to get away with what ordinary mortals would be pleased to con- sider a fair income. How is it done? .As °qv as -well, as it is to spend mouey. First of all, the fair lady mustliave a maid. A Maid more than pays her own wages by her care of her tide - tress' clothes -the brushing, Cleaning, and rnendmg of them. The little rents in the gloves aro concealed by her deft fiugers, making thorn answer instead of a now pair, and by "treeing "mademoiselle's boots every night they are made to last twice as long. Annette receives $25 a month -000 per year. Mademoiselle's brougham will cost her, including the stabling for three horses, coachman, groom; shoeing, and various expenses, 82,500 a year. Two saddle horses, her own and one of her groom, call for $75 a month. A yearly trip to Europe, spending six weeks in London, two in Paris, and two at Aixsles-Bains, or some equally fashionable cure, cannot be taken with her maid for less than 83,500, for, of course, she must have the best cabin on the most ex- pensive steamer and put up at the meet extravagant hotel. A week must be spent at Lake wood or some mild resort during Lent, for which put down 8100, and a fort- night may be spent at Tuxedo during the season for $150. She must run on to Wash, iugton several times during the winter to attend seine of its sweet functions -an item of 8150. Two hundred dollars for shoes will be the least possible sum she can spend, which would include among other items, six paha of -walking boots at $14 a pair, four pairs of low shoes at 0 u pair, find twelve pairs of dancing slippers at $7, leaving only it margin of 88 for riding boots and dressing slippers, an insufficient amount. A similar sum should be devoted to her gloves, ane 8100 to hairpins, pins, toilet articles, per- fumes. etc. We have touched already the $ 8,000 mark, and her gowns have not been men- tioned. Three tailor suits, ono for au- tumn, another for winter, and a third for spring, cost 8150 each. One dozen dancing . dresses at the same figure (very low, by the way), $1800. Four better ones for occasions like the Patriarch's ball, or the New Year's at $250 each. Four dinner gowns at $150 add 000 more to the sum. The opera cloaks aro 5500. Three calling gowns are $125 each. Three outside garments at $150 apiece bring the sum up to $13,175. A thousane dollars is not too much to anew for her lingerie, sauts-de-lits, peignoirs, etc. Three hundred dollars is the outside limit for her millinery. One hundred dol- lars for odds and ends, and charity $25 makes a hole in $14,700 in her $15,000 a year, leaving her the triffino sum of $300 for gifts and entertaining. It is evident that but for mamma's box at the opera and her frequent dinner companies fair Belinda could ,tot, in worldly parlance, "make a decent show" for less than twice $15,000.

ELEOT.EtIOAL ntontss BRIEF. It is reported that Mr. Sims is engaged in adapting the Sims -Edison electric Motes and propeller to life boats, to furnish not only power, but a search light. It is stated that M. Faure has recently invented a process of producing aluminum, by which he hopes to reduce the price of theemetal to 16 or 18 cents a pound. A recent catalogue of electrical books in the Boston Public Library gives nearly 1,000 titles of books on electrical subjects, exelusive of the telegraph and telephone. The Road Car Company of London, Eng- land, has fitted up a number of its vehioles with electric lamps, fixed to the middle of the roof, -an improvement highly appreci- ated by the passengers. .A.prize is offered by the Industrial As- sociation of Berlin of a gold medal, value £150, to the author of the best work upon the magnetism of iron, to be sent in before the 15th of November, 1803. Mr. John Messenger of Cincinnati, 0., claims to have found a.process by which be is able to electroplate Iron, steel and cop- per with aluminum. The deposit is said to he as harti as niekel, never tarnishes, and does not fuse readily.

A proper sitting positien requiree that the spine shall be kept straight, and that the support needed for the upper part of the body shall be felt in the eight place. There- fore, sit as far back aspossible the ehair, so that the lower end of the vine shall le; braced against the back of the seat. If tide back is straight the shouldere will also rese against it; if not, they will have no point of support, and it will be found that they do not. need it. This poeition makes no strain, upon the ligaments ot the spine. It allows a, proper position of the shoulders, conse- quently of the chest, eonsequently of the lungs, stomach and every other organ of the body. Their work is carried ma naturally and comfortably, as is also the circulation. of the blood, winch in a wrong sitting position is seriously interfered, with. With the feet resting squarely upon the floor, the haaela resting caeily upon the lap, perfect equilib- rium, and eoriseg uently p.erfect rest of the. body, is Bemired. There Is no strain upon' any part of the body; no muscle or mean is required to do more than its legitimate amount of work. The arms abould never be fielded ; for that position not only enures a strain upon the spume, and all the ether evils already referred to, but, he addition, places the weight of the arms upon the stom- ach and the diaphragm, thereby blues*, ing tho labor of digestion and reapiration. Placing the hands behind the back, if pos- sible, is a good attitude to take occasional- ly, giving, os it does, the fullest capitulate of the whole upper part of the bod,y. ilITFROPP...Ftr,..INT••••••••••••• The Gila Monster - divine things which were communicated to metalic conductor lying along the bottom, man by creation ; one dead in sin, yet one the trough being filled in with peroxide not so much void of rational funnies as of paste.

There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the character which draws them. It has been finely added by Lander to his definition of the great man, "It is he who can call together the most select company when it pleases him." • • • In the ',re- gress of each man's character he will have earned the lesson of life who is skillful in the ethics of friendship. --(R. W. Emerson. Date of the Exodus. What was the precise date of the Exodus from Egypt? A German astronomer, ac- cording to one of our contemporaries, has solved this knotty problem. Jewish tradi- tion gives the date as the 1st Nisan, 1312 B. C. In order to test this our astronomer has assumed that the Egyptian darkness which immediately preceded the Exodus was an eclipse. Hehas, consequently, calculated alltheeclipsesofthethirteenth and fourteen- th centuries B.C.,and,having selected those which took place iu the spring, has then chosen from them those which come nearest to the date given by the Jewish tradition. The eclipse he finally selected was one which took place on March 13, 1336 B. C. ]tis curious to note that this date agrees with Jewish tradition, so far as the month and the Ay are concerned. The year is, how- ever, twenty three years out. The astron- omer declares that this is a mistake of the Jewish historians, since no eclipse occurred in the year 1322 B. 0. He seems to forget thee the alleged darkness is described in the Scriptures as having been a miracle. How- ever, the result of Ins calculations is to show that the Exodus took place on March, 27, 1335-a discovery which will be appreciat- ed when our iconoclastic reformers ley violent hands on the Jewish °slender. . - Theatrical Advertising.

The Christmas tree in Europe which, like the yule log, is a survival from the from of the revival of the sun after the winter solstice, finds its counter- part in China as elsewhere in the world. Dr. Schelgel has recently pointed out the historical references to this subject. Ac- corlimg to the "Antiquities of Tsin " an old principality which lasted until 217 B. 0., the tree with a hundred flowers and lamps, was placed, on New Year's day, between the three steps leading to the audience felicitation hall. The lady Han- Kwoh, the celebrated Princess Yang, the all powerful favorite of Ming-tuvang, Emperor of the Tang clynastry (A. D. 7)3- 755) caused a "hundred 'tulip trees," 80 feet high, to be erected upon a high moun- tain ; it was lighted during the New Year's night, and its shine was seen for a hundred miles, totally eclipsing the light of the moon. Dr. Schelgel states that as far as he is aware the Christmas candle -tree is now no longer lighted ill China, it being replaced by the enormous quantities of candles which are lighted everywhere. Advertising le the Sky. The newest horror is not Deeming nor the Paris Anarchists. It is considerably worse than either. An esteemed scientific contem- porary says that genuine sky -signs can now be installed for the enterprising advertiser.

As if this truly awful prospect were not enough, we are told that these sky signs can be made luminous, so that they will blaze all night I Heine, in one of his rhapsodies, 'said that he would like to.sitatcb a burning pine from its Norway Inountains :Intl write. with it the name of "e Agnes " in letters of fire on the skies.
