How To KEEP. WARM o NIGHTs.-Open
the window. Yes, sir, when you retire, open
the window that you may have constant
supply of pure air. The recipe is better than
an additional blanket-worth double stove
whether for coal or wood. The philosophy
of the thing is this: In a close room the
lungs of an adult soon consume the oxygen
of the air, and the combustion, upon which
depends the supply of animal heat measura-
bly ceases, and chilness is the consequence.
Open the window sufficiently to give sup
ply of oxygen and the constitution keeps the
heat of the body up to the natural point, un-
til the supply of food is exhausted, and II
sense of hunger gives notice that more car
bon is needed. The truth of this will be felt
by thousands who read this paragraph
Who has not gone to sleep in pile of feath-
ers under weight of clothing fairly oppres-
sive, only to wake up toward morning with
chills. wrigging down his back. Get up and
put on more bedding is no remedy. Open
the window, start up the fire in the furnace
within you, and in an hour your warmth will
all come back. Do not fear taking cold

TRANSCAUCASIA.

This is the term applied to tract of coun.
try nearly equal in extent to Great Britain and
Ireland, lying between the Black and Caspian
Seas, south of the Caucasus, and north of the
mountains of Armenia, which has been &C.
quired by Russia, partly from Turkey and
partly from Persia, by conquest. Kutais, one
of the cities of this province, is the point upon
which the present movements of Omar Pasha
are directed The whole region is one of
great historical interest, and is thus described
by the New York Evening Post:
"Here is the Cochis of the ancient Greeks,
the land visited by Jason and the Argonauts,
in search Of the Golden Fleece. On the
southern borders of the country, Mount
Ararat the landing place of the ark, rises in
solitary grandeur. Here was the cradle of
the Persian monarchy and the centre of the
kingdom of Mithridates. This was the holy
land of the Magi, and the birthplace Of
Zoroaster. The town of Baku, on the Caspian
Sea, was the sanctuary of the fire worship of
the Persans, to whom it was a place no less
sacred and holy than Mecca to the Moham.
medans, or Jerusalem to the Christians. The
country around Baku a5ounds in naptha
springs, from which blue flames rise sponta-
neously, dancing about over the plains, rolling
down the hills, and presenting, according to
the description of travellers, one of the most
wonderful spectacles in the world. Hence
the Persian fire worship. Hither thousands
of pilgrims resorted annual to perform their
devotions.
"Previous to the discovery of the passage
around the Cape of Good Hope, Transcaucasia
was one of the principal thoroughfares of the
commerce between Europe and Asia. Hither
was transported the precious stones and cost.
lv stufls OF the East, to be exchanged for the
commodities of the West. Here the Greeks
and the Romans, and afterwards the Genoese
and the Venetians, made the acquaintance of
the Chinese and the Hindoos. Suchum Kale,
the present basis of operations of Omar
Pasha, was the emporium of this commerce.
"The geographical position of this country
and its commercial importance, have made it
the theatre of great national conflicts, both in
ancient and modern times. Here Pompey
and his legions met and routed the Parthians;
here the Byzantine Greeks and the Persians
struggled for the mastery. Still later, Tam
ernne overran the country with his Asiatic
hordes, exlirpated the Persian religion, and
introduced lsamisn in its stead"
The conquest of this territory by Russia
has greatly imperilled the Indian possessions
Of England, and hence her deep interest in
the present struggle. The Cossack, who
pitches his tent on the shores of the Caspian,
is nearer to the Capital of the Punjaub than
to 81. Petersburg, and the Russian boundary
line is only nine miles distant from the great
thoroughfare over which British manufac.
lures, to the value of two millions sterling,
annually find their way into Persia.

PURGAToRY.-A gentleman, who seems to
be sincere inquirer after truth, addresses to
us by letter several questions as to the Ro-
man Catholic purgatory. lie wishes to know
how long a time, according to the Roman
Catholic teachings, is absolutely necessary
for getting out of purgatory poor sinner that
is burning there. ] hat, we take il, depends
upon the amount of money that his relatives
and friends are willing to pay for his extrica-
ton. If they were to pay not more than five
dollars at n time for him, he would have to
stay in very long while. If they were to
pay hundred, he would get out n great deal
sooner. If they should fork over thousand,
he would come so quick out of the fire into
the cool air that he would be very likely TO
take n bad cold.-Lou. Journal

THE BURDoCK AND THE VIOLET.
BY HARRIET WOOD.

1t came up in the garden, that burdOck,
just behind the violets and close up 20 the
rose bushes. 1t was in the corner close
up to the fence, and we said we would LET it
stay, and it should have all the kind care and
the gentle attention that the roses and the
violets had. Roadside burdocks we knew
were coarse vile things, with their dusty
leaves and their sharp burs ever adhering to
the passers.by, and we would like to see what
garden burdock would be like; whether it
would be bright and fresh and delicate for
growing in such sweet company, and so we
were merciful and let it stay.
And it grew among the roses and the vio-
lets, and gentle hands watered it often, and
the earth was sostened about the roots just
as for its fairer neighbors; but ii waited not
for them ir its progress upward. II shot up,
rank and tall, and wide leaves spread all
abroad and threatened to cover up and OBJ
scure its less assuming neighbors. And at
last the blossoms came. They were large
and strong and armed with keen thorns, and
the flowers changed into burs, and they
reached out thsr thorny fingers and grasped
the passers BY, aud the white dust lay thick
on the rough wooly leaves, and the seeds
flew out on the wind to seek lodging places,
where another year new crop should find
foothold and susteuapce.
A little violet crept through the fence and
looked ub brightly beside the hard ard dusty
street. and we said we will let il grow
there; and so II grew. Water, it had none
except from celestial fountains; care it had
none except from sunshine and sweet dews
and the kindly glances of the passers-by; yet
there il lived and bloomed sweety, "wasting
its sweetness on the desert mir" Its green
leaves were rs green as its cherished kindred
of the flower-bed, and its blue eye reflected
as hopefully as the blue of the summer
sky.
So we said to ourselves, Outward circum-
stances and mere surroundings are but little
after all; and if change to Nature comes it
must be work deep inwrought by other than
earthly hands.
