the whole number of inhabitants by ten, and

we proceed to divide the price of the purchase,

600, who are to defray it, which will at once
show that every father of family must pay
the sum OF TwENTY-sEvEN DOLLARS AND
TWENTY-THREE CENTS
From this, however, some deduction should
be made, as there are many individuals sub
ject to taxation without families. This NAV
possibly reduce the average sum for each tar-

For Ireland and Scotland-Our gallant
tars of the frigate "United States," have sent
their sympathy to the furnishing poor of Ire
land and Scotland in a manner which does
them the highest credit.
u. S. FRIGATE "UNITED STATES
Port Praya, Cape de Verd Islands, May IA.
NV dear Mr.. Harvey The distressing ac-
counts brought from the United States, of the
suferings of the poor in ireland and Scotland,
have caused feeling of deep concern for their
unfortunate condition, which has been mani
tested in substantial manner by the officers
and crew of this ship.
Without having been prompted, they came
forward and offered to raise contribution IN
money. The amount collected might have
been larger, but for the necessity of limiting
and regulating subscriptions made by seamen,
in consequence of the unequal donations
which they would otherwise make. 1t was
therefore found proper to fix the amount Which
each should give. A bill drawn upon the
Hon. the Secretary, for the sum OF 1903, is
herewith enclosed. We are aware that 1t is
but the "widow's mite," when compared with
the amount subscribed by our kind-hearted
people at home; yet we trust that it will effect
some good, and that it may reach Its destlna-
ton in time to relieve the suffering of many
individuals
With sincere good wishes for your future
health and happiness, am truly yours,

Solution of Suk.-A simple piece of worn
out silk is, in ordinary usage, worth nothing,
whilst the same in cotton, linen, or cloth, has
for a considerable time been made available
for various purposes. Through the research
es of Professor Debzenne, the most useless
portions Of silk can now be transformed into
new silk again, to serve for different articles.
In the same way that caoutchouc is drawn out
into flaments, and woven into durable ma
terial, so are these remnants of silk reduced to
what is no more than its primitive state, viz
a glutinous paste, by means of solvent; and
like fused glass, re-acquires, on coming into
the air, all its strength and tenacity. The
crude silk, and that which is not dyed, is ca
silly managed. The inventor at present has
found it difficult, however, to recover the dyed
portions of silk, and more especially the black
ones; but he hopes, by continuing his close
attention to the subject, to overcome this diff
Guilty, and to relieve France from the duty Of
70, 900 900 fr which she pays to foreigners
for the means of alimenting her numerous silk
establishments

EDUCATIoN.-This is a practical world
not world of reverie, of dream, or of imagi-
nation. A world more of nimble sixpences
than of abstract ideas, or of the flowers of
poesy ; and so far as comfort, success, and the
happiness arising therefrom, may seem to 60,
and they go very far, perhaps the less we have
of mere Imagination the better will it be for
lis IN the end, unless, indeed, that imagination
be so curbed and kept under the foot of strong
~ad downright common sense, that it cannot
rise high enough to do serious mischief
The first of all blessings is mind at ease
and to have mind at ease, we must be pref
ty well assured that the landlord, the baker
the butcher, the tailor, and all other impera
lively essential people will be paid when they
seek. for payment. Now, the Imagination
pays no bills, though it has a curious knack
at the encountering of responsibilities but thai
hard-headed common sense, at which magma
ton is apt disdainfully to curve the nose
keeps all its eyes open to the downright un.
colored truth of the case and provides accor
dinghy. We like sordidness as little as any
body-and we are not apt to be a niggard-
but commend us always for safety and for
comfort to the scruple and the caution which
the world is apt to despise. Nay, it is much

topping over on that side which terminates il
the abyss. The multiplication table, is
mighty engine-it deserves all reverence; ant
business faculty is of more worth in this
nineteenth century of making the most of ev.
erything, than to be able to build the lofty
rhyme, and to secure those empty applause:
which fill no stomachs and which cover nc
backs. Happiness does not exist with hun
ger philosophy in rags has bitter aspect
and the great art after all-yea, before all, il
the art of getting along in the world. Chill
dren, then, should be educated with this chief

graces be secondary to the substantials-
starving graces-graces that must solicit char
ity, cap in hand, become doubtful graces il
the end. Buying and selling, and making
these are the points; and one ounce of practi
cal available expertness in this direction i
worth tons of lounging ideality. Napoleon
