The recent disaster at Carlyon, N. Y., it is proba­ ble, would have been avoided had it not been that a boy of 19 or 20 was both stationmaster and telegraph operator. The collision on the Troy and Boston railroad the other day, by which six lives were sacrificed, was caused by the negligence of the telegraph operator/ The operator was a boy of 17,"who had been on duty all night and waa kept on duty two hours cnt time by the slow- ness of the stationmaster who should have relieved him. The superior officers of this boy had kept him at work fourteen hours, and, when at last he was relieved, he was so tired and sleepy that the train orders slipped his memory. If railroad companies must employ boys because their wages are cheaper, why should they not be re- qniwxf "to arrange their labor so that they need not be ov«f«nnkedf The safety of life and property would seem to be too important to be intrusted to boys who are compelled to do an active -man's work. The boys are not re­ sponsible for these disasters, but those jrho employ them and overwork them. 8DGCESWOM8 OP VALUE.

Bow To USB SOAP.--A gentleman of • ijlptfflwM » -*v -~MP" itf regard to the new method of rubbing soap on clothes, rolling them up and letting them lie an hour under water, that the same result may be obtained by using any pass soap. It is certainly an improvement on the old way of soak­ ing clothes over night.--Ladies' floral Cabinet. x Nsjsfs*»i> Pnrm.--A beautiful set for the^drsssing-ease is made by cover­ ing a large cushion with ctean^oolbred satin; anmnd the edge of the cushion put a fleeting of ribbon of the sune color and. a latt of lace. The lace is tiot the top ĵftht emhbn p#atin water colors two OP three pansies, with leaves and states to relieve all stiffness. The bottles that help make up the set should *be« covered and decorated to match. The Upwers on the bottles need not be pansies, however. PI£LOW COVEEB.--Says a lady writ­ ing to the Country Gentleman: Few housekeepers properly estimate the value of providing covers for the pil­ lows in common use, thinking if the cases are ohanged each week the pil­ lows are properly protected. This is a real mistake, as any one can see by put­ ting a white cover underneath the case and noticing how scon it becomes soiled. Old pillow-cases can be used, by tearing off the bottoms and putting button-holes in the hems. To IMPBOVE COFFEE.--The flavor of coffee may be greatly improved and its delicate aroma increased by adding a little bicarbonate of soda (common cooking soda) to the water with which it is made. This is the reason why the coffee obtained at Yicliy, Carlsruheand other German watering places is of such superior excellence, the water in these localities containing a certain percent­ age of soda. In England many persons use carbonate of soda in making tea, a pinch to a pint of water being the reg­ ulated quantity. FLAXO STOOL Covna.--A pretty way to cover a piano stool which is much worn is to cut a piece of broadcloth or frit go that it will fit the too. This may be left plain, or may be oraa- llnted with a vine in applique work. Around the edge of this sew a regular little lamberquin. Have the founda­ tion of broadcloth or felt or of velvet. This may be in one piece, cut in potnts or aoollens, or in sspnrate, risces, with the edgfes jinked or Iptton-Boled, and with adiffere t̂ design in applique or in Kensington embroidery oh each part, or, if pressed for time, the lambesqttin will be handsome if the design is the Ititae on each part Another way to make the lamberquin is to bnr a strip of the fringed border intended for the edge of burlap mats, work the design wovien in the border with bright-col­ ored worsteds, and it is a pretty finish tat the stool cover. :i.

IN cold cliiaate* it is best to have fruit near the ground to promote the process of ripening.

Fruit on high branches and vines is very likely to be injured by the wind. A coBKKSPOXDENT of the Rural New Yorker advises the a e of a two-gallon sprinkling-can, with a rose-sprinkler on the nosz'e, for applying peris-green to potato-vines.

THE Hon. C. M. Clay, in a long and elaborate article upon the supremacy of Kentucky live stock, make& the statement that this result has been se­ cured first, and maintained secondly, by a system of continuous high feeding --and when enm this vigilance is al­ lowed to be relaxed, there will be a cor­ responding falling off in the value and superior quaKtiea of their stock. He then adds: This is the only road to im­ provement in stock. Let no man take an animal from a rich pasture to a poorer one, or from a system of gen­ erous feeding to a scramble for life! But by high feeding, I by no means mean stuffing or over-feeding; for all feeding should be in unison with the laws of heafth. A too fat animal does not breed at all, or brings a poor and feeble issue. This fact drives most breeders from the show ring, where that abuse of natural laws too often takes tha premiums,---CVitcapo Jour­ nal. THE United State» Veterinary Jour­ nal says cracked hoof ie the general re-, suit of a dry state of the hoofs, which manes nu-or II nun «n> trouble may ariae from fever or other causes of degeneration. Among the more prominent influences which tend to produce cracked hoofs, are an un­ even beating of the shoe, calking or other wounds, or injury to the coronet and the drying of the wall of the hoof. In the first stages of the trouble an even-bearing bar shoe will generally re­ lieve the trouble, and a pitch plaster should be placed over the injury. If the crack is more pronounced and of long standing, then it will ba necessary to close up the crack by clinching a thin nail or a fine wire at the top and bottom of the gap. It would also be well to burn a groove just below the srack, quite deep, and to blister the corsnet at the *r°! the crack. An application of Vettfeetnrpenfrine should be app^igd to th#nffected parts. DR.* STORTEVART, of the New York Agricultural Experiment .fixation, has o£ late been experimenting to discover the effect of the food of a cow on her milk. To him it seems certain that the influenoe of the food is to be detected more readily in the churning of the butter from the milk than from the study of the actual butter-fat in the milk. He says during forty-eight days' trial, from Jan. 2 to Feb. 18, under dif­ ferent kinds of food, he possesses an analysis of the milk yielded daily, and a determination of the butter obtained by churning from the daily yield. The percentage of fat in the milk, accord­ ing to analysis, varied from 4.47 to 5.99; the percentage of butter, as ob- tatned by the churn, varied from 2.40 to 5.97, and it will thus be seen from these figures that the variation in the butter obtained is here greater than is the variation in the fat in the milk. Taking the average of the last three days 6f the period of feeding, says the Director, in order to obtain the influ­ ence npon the batter and the fat, we have the fat pearoentage varying from 4.87 to 5.87, while the percentage of butter obtained varied from 3.42 to 5.87. Or, etpresriiig thise jfceto^m another form, while the variation between the maximum and the minimum determina­ tions for the-fat was f&tlO per cent from the average, the variation in the amounts of batter obtained waa 52 per cent from the average."

Dr. Hammond, in a reoant artkde, says that liie-fnsttranee oompanies re­ fuse to insure women because they cannot depend upon what Women say of theuwtlvss. Whether female appli- canta for life insurance are more un~ truthful than male applicants is quea* t on the answer to which must neces­ sarily be largely a matter of opinion. They must be pretty nntruthtol if they are to contest the palm with men for prevarication. Dr. Hammond's state­ ment was, however, weak in two re­ spects. First, life insuranoe compan­ ies provide, against untruthfulness in applicants % making the contract de­ pend upon truthfulness for its validity, and seoond, only a few companies re­ ject women. The real difficnlty with female insured lives is, as we pointed out Bonus months since, that they have been mom upon the mortality taole for male lives, and during the insuring ages there is no correspondence be­ tween this assumed mortality and the mortality. The arbitrary addition of i to 1 per cent, upon the insurance made by some companies, only adds to the injustice and absurdity of the rate. The companies which have made the addition have lost money on women, while companies which have made no discrimination in rates have made mon­ ey. The statistics of insured female lives in this country we should oonsider of very slight importance were they not corroborated by more extended obser­ vations in England and Getmany. Fe­ male lives have not had a fair chance here. It is, however ̂ pretty .dear that females live longer than males, but that their superiority comes before 25 ana after 50. And it is not untruthfulness that kills them between these ages, bat the fact that they are females and net males. As to the mortality from ma­ ternity, we believe it has been greatly exaggerated, and, notwithstanding the positive statement of one of the inter­ viewed that "the mortality among American women incident • to child- bearing is frightful," we beHete that a healUnr ̂insurable woman is as likely to bMr children, and yet see a green old age, as she would be if she remained * •piwtur and avoided the perils about which men talk so much and know so gue.-|fte Weekly UnderwriterJ "Wunnan Seven Asts.* At the minute just before the civil- service rules went into operation a young man from Amsterdam, ST.

New York alone would do it with mx votes to spare. If New York Were gained, as it was in 1880, eveirv other doubtful State might be yielded to the Democrats. Or if Connecticut, Indi« ana and New Jersey were gained, the Bepnblicans could win without New York. Or, again, if they secured Cali­ fornia and Florida, iu both of which they have an excellent chance, they could safely lose New Jersey. Or, still again, if they carried Connecticut, Cal­ ifornia, Florida and Virginia, they could win Without' Indiana, New York and New Jei'sey. We have classed as doubtful adl that may fairly be embraced in the list Three months .ago Ohio might with some show of reason have been chal­ lenged. If it were lost to the BepubU- cans this year, as there seemed then some reason to fear, it might be re­ garded as doubtful next. But Ohio hai now straightened up and may fairly be oonnted among the sure Bepnbucan States. Of those which' the Democrats carried in 1880 the Bepubliaana have a good outlook in California, Near Jersey and Florida. As the Bepnblioans have but thirty votes to gam among the doubtful States, while the Democrats have seventy-two, it is clear that tha chances are on the Bepabthna aide. ' Philadelphia Frees.
