Disastrous Harvest in Scotland.
The harvest in Scotland is, ac-
cording to the Scotsman, the wettest
and most disastrous that has been
known since the year 1816, when
what were known as the Meal Riots
took place. The heavy and continu-
ed fall of rain during the second
Week of -SepteMber drenched the
sheaves of cut grain through and
through, which is, in many cases, an
irreparable mischief. Aigood many
samples of oats and wheat, as well
as of . barley, have been shown in
Edinburgh Corn Exchange during
the first three weeks, but, when
compared with the grain crop of
1871, they exhibie an astonishing
and deplorable deterioration, but
even that does not 3bdw the full
damage done to the crop, because all
the grains that had seriously sprout-
ed had been taken out of the samples
by means of screens and riddles.
The wort fears regarding the potato
crop have been realized ; and an it:
lustration of the extent of the fail.
ure of the crop is given. In ordin-
ary years a stout mane with thiee
. assistants (two women and a boy),
could easily raise and weigh ready
for market eight bolls, of thirty-two
cwt. potatoes every day. For the
last forenight it has taken a. very
active marr and tinee assistants to
one and a. half bolls, or six cwt. of
sound, and three bolls, ortwelve
cwt of diseased potatoes per day.
All thistis bad news for the winter.

Antidote for Polson.
We find the following commend-
ed If a person swallows any poi-
son whatever, or ,has fallen into con-
vulsions from having overloaded the
stomach, an instantaneous renefdy,
more efficient and applicable in a
.larger numbet of cases than any half
a dozen medicines we can now think
of, is a heaping teaspoon of common
salt,and is much good mustaid, stirr-
ed rapidly in a teacut of water, warm
or coldand swallowed instantly. It
is scarcely down before it begins to
come up, bringing with it the re-
maining contents of the stomach,
and, lest there be any remant of a
poison, however small, let the white
of an . egg, or a teacup of strong
coffee, be swallowed as soon as the
stomach is quiet ; because these very
COMMOTI articles nullify a larger
number of virulent poisons than any
medicines in the shops.

• Wintering Vegetables.
It is one thingto raise a -good crop
of vegetables but quite another ro
keep them sefely through winter.
It is, doubtless, the fact that more
vegetables are injured by heat in the
winter than by, weld, because most
persons crowd such things together
-in large quantities, and then cover
deeply to keep out the frost When
placed in cellars, the windows' are
closed, and in the more northern
Statee banked up with, perhaps,
fresh-horte manure from the stable.
Of ceurse it is necessary to ke.ep
potatoes, turnips, beets,and similar
roots from freezing; still they vtould
be of far better quality if kept as cold
as possible and not actually frozen.
Turnips and beets in particular are
very liable to heat and become spoil-
ed if a large quantity is placed to-
gether; and potatoes are often in-
jured by being stcred in large bins,
instead of being put in barrels or
spread thinly upon shelves in a dark
cellar. When buried in the ground,
small heaps, say twenty to thirty
bushels in each, are best.
Education in Berlin.
Nothing more forcibly strikes the
foreign sojourners in Berlin than
the universal intelligence of the
lower classes of that city. Your
cabman speaks to you --if you can
but comprehend him—in perfectly
correct and gramma tieal German;
your washerwoman's bill is a model
of neat and handsome penmanship
and correct spelling, your wife's
seamstress is able to discuss -the late
est publications, the view & in the
political and fashionable world, and
examines the, books on the table
with a critically expetienced eye.
To be sure/ i

1 ,
geece has a, tendeney to ro ke the
cheviers of wood and' dra ers of
water' somew, hat arrogant; and, by
the law of eompensatiot, the cabby
and the waSherwoman make up for
the absence of ignorance by a pert -
nese and independence of manner
which aro to be met with, to an
equal degree in no other European
capital. Yet the fact that they
can all read, write and cipher. brings
the results of the Prussian .educa-
tiOnal systeni more vividly to the
mind than any other fact could—
unless it were the effect of it seen
in the army. The Prussian state
has long made equality of intelli-
gencea-es far as schoolMg can effect
it—a compulsory matter. All chil-
dren, at soon As they get ou% of
theirs frocks, must go to school;
and the State prescribes -when-that
shall be.—Lonelhn Standard.
