The mir is then dried and the metal cove witlfis varnish sufficient to protec from friction and the aotion of sulp - vapors which blacken it. But silver deposited in this way often an unpleasant yellowish reflection. Lenoir, of Paris,turned his attention discovering a process which wo obviate this drawback: He has succe ed by the following means ; The gla once silvered, is subjeet to the action a dilute ,solution of the double cyan of mercury and potassium, when amalgam of white and brilliant eil is formed, adhering strongly to t glass.

Arriving at Cass - polls, be was informed that the uncout , man could he seen at the poor -house about three miles away. There -he me with a hearty greeting from the keeper and proceeding to the kitchen, was in, troduced to Samuel Keene, a dwar about four feet high. Keene at the command of the keeper managed, by a singular side movemen of the body, and pushing his slouch ha from his head by the queer-- shape claws, to make a courtesy. As he sto6 before us bareheaded, he preSented the : most wonderful specimen of a man amalgamated with the animal kingdom that can be imagined. On speaking with him he apparently understood every word, but lacked sufficient intel.- , . . licence to frame a suitable answer, just . as a dumb brnte can comprehend but . , cannot give a suita_ble reply. In stature - , this singular beieg is -short, thick -set , and flat rather than rotind. His legs ' -and arms are short. His hands turn: ing outwards the same as a turtle's,and instead of fingers the Widened hauds end in webbed claws. The feet are fastened . in the same manner, and when he walks it is with It sidelong, ambling gait, moving theneutire side of the body in the manner peculiar to the 'tortoise. In his actions and talk, he has a slow,* measured, jerking sty -le. The inside of , his dirty claw or fin, which he held. out to shake ham& with, was a yellowish color, as was also his feet and stomach, the skin having the same ribbed a,p- pearauce and. color as the underside of a' turtle. It was reported that he had a shell on his bad*, but uponexamin ation it was found to consist of a tough layer of cuticle, which, however, is grosving harder each year, and may soon become ossified: The peculiar color of different . e and others white. has led to the con - portions of the body, sore° being dark ' i elusion that his flesh is multikind, or of different construction in tissue. Al- though so small he is thirty-two years of age. The most singular and startling feature of the monstrosity is the bead which seems to be bub a continuance of the neck,with a fiat face and head com- ing to a point on the top, the same as that of a snake. ire is almost cou- I gently moving his head from side to l _ side. The back portion of the cranium is direttly perpen.dicular to the neck, and covered with short, bristly black ' hair, but no hair grows on any other pc,rtiou Of his body, no whiskers or moustache, only a few bristles at each corner of his mouth. The nose is flat ' like au Ethiopian's; the mouth extends from jowl to jowl, very wide and fur- ' nished with a full set of teeth. He constantly keeps his mouth open with i his large tongue lolling out, and it is this more than anything else causes his ' unintelligible jargon. But the eyes are ; the most striking portion of his features, the whitee being excessively large and ' a rolling, the pupils small, black, looking e direotly ahead, and possessing a wild, ‘ ,t - staring yet fascinating glare,very sharp, piercing and glistening, from under- P neatb the broad eyebrows. In temper lie is perfectly docile and harmless, uu- less roused to anger, when he is sullen and snappish. In habits he is not very social, scarcely ever saYs anytbiug un- E less spoken to; and, when young, never 1 minseled with the boys or, eugaged in , in ., • iiivenile sport. His parents were very a poor, and both died when he was very of yonug ; he has..brothers and sisters,well ' ex 'off in worldly:goods and reepectable,but :$2 they refuse to support him, and he is a . w pauper on'the charity of the town. Ye The cause of this terrible deformity at is said. to be a fright received by the - to mother previous to the child's birth. It ' sd furnishes one of the most. startling ' 110 proofs of pareutal itilluence on rebord. a - The parents resided near Diamond do, Leke, and being ver'poor often 'caught P-1 . fish for food. While fishing out of a ' boat one day with her bandit just touch- -te inn the water, and holdiug the line, an ha . enormous turtle, attracted by the Moe,- so, lug fingers, suddenly jumped. up and de bit her. She never recovered from the ho fright, and wheu the child was letrn a T few mouths afterwards it heel iudelibly in. stamped upon its entire body the form. sde of the tintle. It was not so noticeable PC at first but grew with its growth and th strengthened with its etreegth. The st first habit which was noticteable was . 631 its desire to creep, turtle fashion, even I ten after it could walk; afterwards; upon i qu examinatio n by doctors, the joints of i Pa the arms a nd legs were found to be ' lis daub le, and turned outwards like a i tio tortois e. As th.e horrible truth grew I ing y _ Some Experiments with Steam-, ,. • ed Fbpd. E. P. Weesner writes as follows to the Indiana Farmer; January 19th, 1878: "My • experience this winter is r - that the same amount of fodder cut said steamed is feeding twice the inn- ber of stock that it does when fe dry 11 or raw. Atter having cut and steamed, e 1 mix a little bran, just 'enough to le make it palatable,and out of 100 shocks er of fodder, I do not think there has been 0_ to exceed one basket full of stocks ta,ken h from the trough that the stock refused to eat. My method of steaming is t rather temporary, and not quite so handy as would be desirable,but I think _ it far better and more economical than f the old meth.od of' caaayiue out loose fodder and scattering over bthe gebtiud ,13 , to be trampled by the cattle instead o being eaten." t 11. Jones, of Westboro, Mass., a writes the Boston Cultivator :‘ "I e have tried- for twenty-five years the - feeding of dry hay and grain, and for the last five years I have thoroughly tried steaming my coarse fodder and roots, with the neost satisfactory re- sults. I cannot elafford to take -my stock from steamed' food and feed them on.dry hay and grain, as I am satisfied with my past experience what the re- sult would be. -I will give you the Cost of keeping medttock on ateamed food, and would like to have some other gen- : demon favor you with the cost Of feed- ing sixteen yearlings and two -year-olds; and. seventeen COWS 011 UnSt&1.111ed food. I am able to cook or soften the corn. butts, so they are made palatable, and not a particle of waste. It enables me to have a regular hour for feeding, night and morns ancl with one: dry -feed. of hay at limns. I am at the preseut time keeping sixteen yearlings and two- year -olds, aud seventeen cows, for per day, oi a fraction over twelve cents per head, a clay. My cows on this mode of feeding give me as much milk as on summer °food, or by good pas- tures, and my young stock grow as rapidly. as at any time during the sum- mer season, and ` I, believe that . this mode of feeding is no more iujurious to cattle than summer fcod." • Mr. E. W. Stewart, of Lake View, N. Ye says: When experimenting, to determine whether there is ,.eavin and how ranch, in cookie°. 'food, I too the cow al:the best animabl ehich to test it, having two cows, six and seven. years old, hearty and vigorous, 'calving in January. I commenced - by feeding each ten pounds of hay, one and one half pounds of oil meal, same of pea meal,. and three pounds of bran per day all steanrd together. Upon this, teen :pounds of food, each cow gave four gallons of milk per day, and _made eight pounds of butter per week. This result was surprising to me; but test the effect of cooking, theywere fed two weeks upon the same quantity and qualitysof unsteamed food, and. on the 'second week' tested for butter, and it had fallen under five pounds. The un- cooked food was then increased in .the same proportions to twenty-four pounds per day, and he product of the putter was eight pounds per -Week. They were then put upou cooked food again. and the oil and pea meal aud beau, creased -to eight pounds, making eighteen pounds of cooked food per day, ud on the second week twenty pounds butter were made, showing. that the wo pounds of additional food. pees day ad increased the yield of butter' two ouuds per week. The Ontario School System.' From the Toronto "Mail." The annual report of the Minister. of; ducation was preseuted to the Legis - attire at its opening. The statistical formation embodied. within its pages ffords ample evidende of the progress ' education withie this l?roviuce. _The penditure of the, year -1878 reached ,889,347, being a slight decrease, hick is explained by the fact that the arly outla.y for new school houses is' eadily diminishing, as there is now a lerably satisfaatory aupply. Of the hool population, nuMbering 492,360, less thau 480,015 are in attendance, remarka,ble exhibit. The average .1 ily aitteudauce has also improved. iis vast bode' of scholars, taught in , 1,90 schools, employs about 6;500 achers, in which number the ladies ve tnajorite- of foue hundred. The = P.' contains a mass of interesting informa- tion reepecting the Normal Schools. No less than 8,022 students have been admitted to the Toronto Normal School sine° its establishment, of whom. 3,965 had been teachers. The position of the public educatioual institutions of the Province in 1878 may be thus summar- ized': The whole number of these in— stitutions was '5,098—decrease, 150; the whole number of students and pu- pils 'attending them was' 500,489, de- crease, 500; the total amount expended for all educational purpeses was $3,- 520,841. TotaLemount available for ed- ucational purposes, $3,902,974— de - 'crease, $47,923. The growth of our ed-- ucational system during the last thirty- five years has beeu Titeady and.: encour- aging. In.1842 the number Of Pablic Schools was only 1,721. In 1851 this had increased to 3,001; and in 1878, to 4,990; and the number of puidils at- tending them from.168,159 in 1851, to 489,615 in 1878. The amount paid for the support of Public Schools has been increased from $468,644 in 1851, to $2,889,347 in 1878,including the aniount paid for the purcha,se, erection, repairs of school houses and for other pur- poses, of which there are no 'reports earlier than 1850, but which at that time amounted to only $56,755, and. $77,336 in 1851, but which in 1878 amounted to $878,130,, making the ag- gregate actually paid foe Public School purposes in 1878; $3i247,322. The re- sults ,obtitined from this expenditure have been fully commensurate with the outlay' , and our Public, School system, with , the' improvements which. will doubtless be made annually therein,will continue to be regarded with pride and satisfaction by the people oE this Pro- vince. • • 'Unfortunate_ Accident. A curious and sad affair happened at Reno, Nevada, recently. Mr. Oates went to Dr. Snow's residence to call the latter to visit a sick child, aud the doe- tor'being absent and his family alone, Mesas' Snow answered the rap at the door by asking e "Who's there ?" Oates is very deaf, and it is presumed- he did not bear the lady's surnmens. He tried the front door again, then went to the rear door of the house, and then shook the windows'; but to all of Mrs. Snow's cries she could get'ao answer. Finally she warned the person to leave or -she would shoot. The rattling continued at the, door, When Mrs Snow, almost crazed with fright, rais d a pistol and fired, the ball passiug srough the door. She beard. the party go off the porch and out of -the aide, au supposed she had frightened b him way. A • night watchman found him mitside the gate shortly after, dead, and, it is supposed he died ahnost immediately. Mrs. Snow did not know that the shot she fired had been fatal until her husband's return in th e mornin a Removing I From Carpets. Freshly tipille iisk can be removed from carpets by etting in mifk.

"Let's see, they raise some wheat in Manitoba, don't they ?" said an Ontario Granger to a Manitoba, farmer. "Raise wheat? Who raises wheat? No, sir; decidedly no, sir. It raises itself. Why, if we undertook to cultivate wheat in that Province, it 'would run Us 011t. Thbre wouldn't be any place to put our , house." "But I've been told that grass- hoppers take a good deal of it." "Of course they de ; if they didn't I don't know what we would do. The darned stuff 'would run all over the country and drive us out—choke us out. These grasshoppers are a Godsend, only there ain't half enough of them." •'Is the wheat nice and plump ?" "Plump! why I don't know what you call plump wheat; but there are 17 in our family, including 10 servants, s.ucl when we Want bread we just go out and fetch in a kernel of wheat and bake it."—Toron- to Graphic. —Lady Burdett -Coutts is a friend of brutes.
