The London Chemist and Druggist says: The latest lead-poisoning sensation, for which certain Liverpool chemists are responsible, reveals the horrible fact that we are now training our babies to the use of this addition their nutriment, by feeding them through tubes composed of "India rubber dissolved in 10 per cent. of bisulfide of carbon, and thickened with white lead, resin, and sometimes oxalphurate of antimony, from which when it comes into contact with the milk, sulphuretted hydrogen is evolved and lactate of lead formed in the stomach." The fact that several millions infants have not only survived the treatment, but have to all appearances thrived on it, somewhat diminishes the horror which we ought to experience on learning this report. But we are member, and now for the first time intelligibly comprehend, the touching American epitaph in a graveyard very long way out West: "Grim death has taken darling little Jerry, The son of Joseph and Syrena Howels. Seven days he wrestled with the dysentery, And then he perished with his little bowels. Most likely it was weaning injured little Jerry. His bottle seemed to hurt his stomach's tone. But with the angels he'll get plump and merry. For there's no nursing-bottles where he's gone. The fact that some millions of infants have thrived on one form or another feeding-bottles, is indeed capable of forming consolation, but the comfort we derived from that reflection will materially diminished by calling mind the many millions who have perished.

Blown High.—The steamer S. plodded several years ago with terrible effect and burned to the waters edge. Captain S. was blown into the alighting near a floating cotton bank upon which he floated uninjured but much blackened and muddied. Arriving at last at a village several miles below, to which news of the disaster had preceded him, he was accosted by the editor of the village paper, with whom he was well acquainted, and eager for an item. "I say, is the S. blown up!" "Yes." "Was Captain S. killed?" "I am the captain!" "The thunder you are! How big were you blown?" "High enough to think of even mean thing I ever did in my life before I came down here." The editor started on a run for his office. The paper was about going press, and not wishing to omit it to item for the next issue, two weeks or wrote as follows: "The steamer S. has burst her boots, as we learn from Captain S., who says he was up long enough to think every mean thing he ever did in his life before he lit. We suppose he was up about three months." Greeley is taking pains to brand lies some of the stories about his chiroraphy. Next, he'll probably describe that when Senator Revels wrote his asking about the best mode of cultivating strawberries, he advised him plant them in his corn, "dropping two-three strawberry seeds in each he and letting the vines climb up on the cornstalks. In this way they need poling, and the fruit can be shaken in the fall and pickled for winter use." ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 15, 1871. Corn in Drills and In Hills. At the Michigan Agricultural College, in 1868, two plots of land were set apart, substantially equal in character of soil, each measuring forty eight rods in length by two in width. The ground was plowed May 5th, and manure was spread equally and worked in by cultivator and harrow. Yellow Dent corn was planted May 21st, in rows four feet apart; one of the plots being planted in hills, the other in drills. The plots were cultivated and bred June 15th, and again July 7th, the plants being thinned so as to leave the same number of stalks on each plot, including an equal distribution of plants throughout the subdivision of the plots. As nearly as possible, each of the two plots received the same amount of labor in cultivation. The stalks were out at the bottom, September 16th, and stacked in good order. Three weeks afterward, the corn was husked and weighed. The stalks were then again carefully stacked, and were hanled and weighed, in good condition, October 12th. The corn on the portion planted in hills was rather better in quality than on that planted in drills. But the drilled portion produced 7415 bushels of shelled corn and three tons of stalks to the acre, against 654 bushels of corn and two and two thirds tons of stalks per acre produced by the portion in bills — Agl Report. CALIFORNIA WINE IN LONDON—In June of last year was advertised for two The Trades of Animals.

In June of last year was advertised for the first time in London. California wine. It was at the time a novelty and led to many inquiries concerning our State and its products. The writer, who had long been interested in California, and knew that large quantities of wine were exported, asked three or four friends who were engaged in the wine trade, what they knew of California wine, and received replies to the following effect: That the samples of California wine which they had tasted were of excellent quality. That it was sold in London, but not as a product of California, because our State was unknown as producing this beverage of a first-class quality. That all the California wine in England was represented as coming from other localities. It was not posted that California could place her wines in England without an effort; but let their wines gain precedence at home, as they are surely destined to, and they will find favor elsewhere. It will not be necessary, a few years hence, in order to sell our wines, to say they come from France or Germany, for we shall have grades which those countries cannot produce. Our wines will be as much in favor in England in ten years, as our wheat is at this time, or we shall be much mistaken. Call. the pendulum and telescope. In 1682, Galileo, then but a youth of eighteen, was seated in church, when the lamps suspended from the roof were replenished by the sacristan, who, in doing so caused them to oscillate from side to side, as they had done hundreds of times before when similarly disturbed. He watched the lamp, and thought he perceived that while oscillations were diminishing, they still occupied the same time. The idea thus suggested never departed from his mind; and fifty years afterwards he constructed the first pendulum, and thus gave the world one of the most important instruments for measuring time. Afterwards when living at Venice, it was reported to him one day, that the children of a poor spectacle maker, while playing with two glasses, had observed, as they expressed it, that things were ed, and were hanked and weighed, in good condition, October 12th.

Everybody said, how curious; but Galileo seized the idea and invented the first telescope. THE PRESIDENTIAL EXCURSION TO CALIFORNIA.—A Washington dispatch to the New York Standard of March 15th, says: “A Presidential excursion train is to be run over the Pacific Railroad to California, immediately upon the adjournment of Congress this Spring. This will be one of the most imporing excursions ever yet attempted on this continent. It will consist of a train of palace cars, with hotel dining attachment, and the company is expected to comprise the President’s family, several members of the Cabinet, the British High Commissioners, and many of the most noted personages of the era. The question of other and accompanying excursion trains to follow, in order to accommodate the hundreds who desire ‘to be there and see,’ is also being favorably considered. The indications all tend to assure an unprecedented passenger trade this season.” An exchange states that “some Iowa regulator tried to make a man confess himself a horse thief by hanging him, but when they cut him down he had lost all interest in the matter.” INGROWING TOE-NAILS.—A correspondent of the Scientific America that the trouble and pain from this can be immediately and permanently relieved, without pain, in the folly simple manner: Take a file, some inches in length, bastard cut, flat side and round on the other, new sharp. File down thin all the exp part of the nail until it is soft and ble. This will immediately relieve part pressing into the flesh, which not be cut or extracted. The fi not the least painful, as the file will take hold of the skin or flesh. I course of several months the nail grow out thick again, and then thing should be repeated. The edi the nail will never grow into the so long as the top of the nail is so pliable; and there is nothing so convenient, safe and painless for ing it from doing so, as a file.

Three indispensible requisites to farming; good soil, good seed, and cultivation. INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE upon Man. It is not generally known, but it is nevertheless true, that a pure, moderately dry air generally produces great mental sprightliness, especially with full-blooded persons. A cloudy and moist atmosphere, on the other hand, produces mental relaxation, and melancholy. This explains why suicides occur so often when the sky is overcast. The depressed mental state is thus far enhanced. Villeneuve reports that of every ten suicides which were committed in Paris during two years, nine took place in the rainy season. The influence of the climate is also well exemplified in the case of mountaineers. They are quicker, more active and excitable. The Swiss naturalist, Desor, in a recent essay, describes the climate of North America as very changeable and dry. After having explained a number of phenomena produced by the climate in general, he depicts its influence upon the inhabitants of this country. He derives from the climate his activity, acuteness, his tall stature, his eagerness for gain, his practical talent; and his love of adventure. It is also well known that the inhabitants under a preponderating clear sky possess more talent for art, while those under a gloomy sky have more propensity for speculation and thought. TOOK IT EASY.—Yesterday a pair of Bismarks were playing a duet on a card table with an accompaniment by Gambrinus, in an up-town saloon, when Took it Easy.—Yesterday a pair of Bismarks were playing a duet on a card table with an accompaniment by Gambrinus, in an up-town saloon, when a third Teuton entered excitedly, and, addressing one of the players, said: "Shinglediddler! you boss'n vaggon is run away." "I shot so? Vy you don't shtop him up a leedle?" "Coz he was more as a half a block away before I see him?" "How you know he vass my boss'n vaggon?" "Vy, he had your name on de vaggon." "I shot so? Vell you dink you pooty schmart, ain't it, but dot ish not my vaggon; it ish my wife's boss'n vaggon. Hurry up, Shake, (to his partner) and blay out dish game. If dot boss'n vaggon git shmash up, ven I go home der night my vite vill kif me hell Columbus." — Louisville Courier, Waste in Feeding Horses.—That it is a waste of fodder to give a horse all the hay he can eat, and all the time, almost any practical man will admit, yet there are many farmers who will continue the practice of stuffing their horses. A horse, if allowed, will eat thirty pounds of hay, but will be better with half that quantity: day of hay and two quarts of grain. Indeed with a majority of horses, ten pounds of good hay and two pounds of grain are sufficient to keep them in good condition during the more idle season of the year. In the winter, many have but little to do with their horses, and consequently should feed light, but when spring comes and the horse is obliged to work ten hours per day, and take the family to church on Sunday, eight quarts of grain with the same amount of hay is none too much for him. Ten pounds of hay a day are enough for most horses, and fifteen lbs for any. In my opinion there is no greater waste of fodder than in over feeding of horses. Boston Cultivator. A Dutchman who in a fit of passion was swearing terribly, was reproved by a church deacon, who chanced to overhear him. "Why do you swear so, Hans?" said the deacon; "don't you know that it is very wicked?" "Yaw, I know it pese wicked." "Do you know." A Dutchman who in a fit of passion was swearing terribly, was reproved by a church deacon, who chanced to overhear him. "Why do you swear so, Hans?" said the deacon; "don't you know that it is very wicked?" "Yaw, I know it peso wicked." "Do you know," said the deacon anxious to sound the depth of his religious teaching, "do you know who died to save sinners?" "Yaw," said Hans, "Cot died to save 'em." "Not God, exactly Hans, but the son of God?" "So!" exclaimed Hans, a new light breaking in upon him; "vos it one of de poys? I tinks all the vile it vos de old man?" Trouble has been made at Binghamton, by a married man going riding with a girl, and coming home with a curl fastened to the button of his cap. The safest way in such cases is to always comb yourself after you come home, and distroy any extra hairs that may have accumulated, as hairs will sometimes accumulate on the most careful man. An organist of a church at Milwaukee, Wis., has got all the young folks down on him, by playing at a wedding, "Put me in my Little Bed." He said the bride told him to play something appropriate, and he couldn't think of anything more appropriate. "Do you chew tobacco?" asked a lady, hesitating to sit down by a gentleman in a car. "No ma'am, I don't be replied; 'but guess I can get you a chaw, if you won't one."
