My scientific attainments enabled me to understand thisâ€"salvation almost at my hand! Afew inhalations of that over- oxygenated air would restore me with life, with strength. I seized the little balloon as quickly as was capable of doing, and, carefully unscrewing its Stopper, applied it to my mouth to breathe.

Busi~ ness ramifies in all directions and it is the employment previded in each class that gives the purchasing power, and facilitates the handling and sale of pro~ duce. Home industry can be best taught on the farm. The farmer buys a large number of articles that he could pro- duce. He grows the cheapest crops, overlooking the fact. that. it is the labor that sells. The more costly the product the larger the profit in proportion not expense incurred, as such articles are not as plentiful, while the cheaper crops re quire more land for their production and are sooner affected by changes in prices. W ~_______ W W Logan, ...... SELLS THE BEST . . . . . . Sunny Days of Boyhood. One of the happiest remembrance of the Southern gentlemen is of the sunny days of boyhood when he crawled under diluent streets of the city Over which we were hovering; and the greater of less intensity of the lights served me as an indicating mark.I made out with exactitzide the park of the exposition, the palace of the governor,Lord Loftus, with irs double range of candclbra, then George and King streets, then Circular quay. “Honored inonsieur said the Captain addressing me, wliOm, on seeing me step into the car, he had immediately recognized from my uniform as an lllcr‘t‘ of the French crusier, “do you 38rd ow u there in the midst of the road- stenl the pos:ti0n lights of your ship?’ “Yes, yes! I see it captain; monsicur’s French man-of-war?” Getting ahead of mine this reply was thrown by the very fresh yoice of a. slight and slender woman, Who was touching me with her skirt, and whom I had not yet noticed. But I could not judge of the features of the unknown; thebaloon which cast a shade over us and seemed like an immense sinster onus of vellum above our heads prevented me frOm doing so. Never- theless from the mere sound of her voice I divined that she was quite young; hei- diction and accent unden- iably proclaimed that she was of good fam ly and a lady, I then had the curiosity to ascertain how many travelling companions were with me. I Walked through the cir- cular gallery which below the hope of the netting the car formed around a large empty space, but I found no other tnrwller. And not without sturnbling awkwardly over the bags of ballast of the Condor of the Andes, I speedly returned to the point of depart- me. We were still ascending. “Three hundred and ten yards said the captain, sententiously, point log out to me the registering baromtel‘ fastened clOSe to a small lantern to one of one of the ropes.

I Was about to grasp her unceremoni- ously by the waistâ€"logically convinced that unballased we would mount higher yetâ€"whenoftliemselves her arms fell, I realized that she was hurt. A prey also to very painful uneasiness, I cast a glance of anguish at the barometer. The atmospheric pressure had sensibly dini- inishedâ€" â€"we had passed 4000 yards! In the air the oxygen had rarified. I ex- perienced a sensation I had already felt on high summits. “Miss,” called I, striving to raise up the young girl. butit was in vain, for I had no strength. My legs trembled, my head sank upon my shoulders, I no longer felt the existence of my body. Crawling, I dragged myself to the barometer and saw with terror that the thermometer had gone down to zero -â€" 338. That was the equivalent of 6500 yards in height, the altitude of Chimbo- razo or of the Koueu-Loun chain. By the light of the little lantern I noticed that my hands were growing black and swelling. My pulse counted the im- probable number of 130 to 140 beatings. Simultaneously with an insurmountable desire to sleep, the forerunner of asphyxia, cadoveric insensibility was gaining posses- sion of me. I had, however. the will to take the little lantern in my hand, but on stretch- ing up to reach it I found myself envelop- ed by terrible ccld. Ice coated the Condo.- of the Andes.

Cormneal Contains 15 per cent. of water, 1.4 per cent. of ash. 9.2 per cent. of pro- tein, 1.9 per cent. of crude fibre, 68 per cent. of nitrogen free extract, and 3.8 per cent. of fat. The crude fibre is be- lieved to undergo a sort of fermentation in the digestive canal, and its actual feeding value is unknown. COMPOSITION OF CORN AND COBS. Corn and cob meal, mixed, contains 10.7 per cent. of water, 1.5 per cent. of ash, 8.5 per cent. of protoin, 6.6 per cent. of crude fibre, 61.8 per cent. of nitrogen free extract and 3.5 per cent. of fat, acâ€" cording to the experiments and reports by the Department of Agriculture. The real value of this composition, however, depends on the cost of the labor of grinding. On some farms it will pay to use the mixture of corn and eobs, as the facilities for grinding are ample, and during the winter employment can be afforded some who are otherwise idle. Cobs are rich in potash, and grinding them so as to permit of their use by animals enables the farmer not only to procure whatever nutrition they may con- tain, but also conveys them into the manure heap, where they will return more to the soil than if reduced to ashes. Farmers who have ground corn and cohs report favorably of the mixture, and the practice of grinding the whole ear prevails largely in some sections.
