COLD REGIONS

A recent number of the Scientific
american has an article on this sub
ject in which it is said that It is well
know as a matter of history, that when
Greenland was discovered it possessed a
much warmer climate than it does at
present. The ice-packs have been ex-
tending South from the polar regions
for some centuries, and the Northeast
coasts of our continent are now much
colder than they were three centuries
ago. The cause of this is not we'll un-
derstood ; the fact only is known. It
is believed by some persons that there is
a great eddy in some part of the polar
ocean which sometimes changes its d.
reetion, and by drifting large icebergs
from one place to another, changes the
climate of those places whence they are
drifting by the presence of such masses
of ice diffusing their low temperature to
great distances. In the month of July
last, the White Sea was blocked up with
huge mountains of ice, and the commerce
fOf Archangel stopped-something which
never happened before. In the Farce
Island snow fell in the valleys in the
middle of July, the like of which also
never happened before. If this drift of
ice continues regularly for a few sea-
sons, the coasts of the White Sea will
become as in hospitable as those Of
Greenland now are.n

INTERESTING ANTIQUARIAN DIS
C0VERY.

The Herculean labor Of removing a
cairn of two hundred and fifty feet-in
hight, which has been carried on for near
ly five years near the village of Alexan-
dropol, in the Russian province of Ekat-
arinoslaw, has just been completed, and
led to the most important discovery of
numerous articles of gold, silver, bronze,
and clay, as also of iron shafts and rod,
nail, skeletons of horses, and ornaments
of gold. The whole are in an excellent
state of preservation, and, although
traces of an attempt made at some re-
mote period to effect an entry are plain
ly visible, the number of objects now
brought to light is very considerable
In comparing the well-known passage in
Herodotus respecting burial the place of
Scythian kings with the present dis
coyery, it is clear that this is n of the
catacombs mentioned by him ; and san,
guine hopes are entertained that the
success attendant on this first attempt
will lead to further and even more i'm
portant discoveries.

GIVE HENS MEAT.

Many persons complain that their
hens will not lay, and Notwithstanding
their assiduity in furnishing them with
all the articles ordinarily recommended
to insure the cundity, the eggs they
produce will not "half pay the expen-
ses." Now we presume there is some
thing lacking, or the fowls would not
run their owners in debt. It is now
generally understood, even by those
who profess to be most deeply yersed
in the mysteries of henology, that the
hen being omniverous, requires, to in
sure fecundity, a very liberal allowance
of meat! When enjoying her liberty
in the fields, pastures or door yards, the
principal part of her sustenance is de.
rived from insects, worms, &C.. She
partakes but sparingly at such times of
grain; and often, when that article is
supplied, leaves it for the more inviting
food which nature supplies her with, in
her favorite haunts. Now if we confine
her where the natural propensity for
this kind of food cannot be gratifed,
ever though we supply the best of grain.
and in abundance, she will cease to lay.
The privation affects her health, and
will necessarily be an end of profit un-
til the deficiency is supplied. The COM
mon scraps of the butcher, which are
hard and compact, can be kept any
ength of time, and answer all the desir-
ed purposes.-Neao England Farmer.

PRESERVES AND FRUITS FOR
WINTER USE.

Fruit of all kinds has been 30 scarse
the past season, that many thrifty house
wives who consider sweetmeats almost
an actual necessity, find themselves de-
fcient in such things for the winter,
and that too, when fresh fruit connot
be depended upon to supply its place.
For the benefit of such we give recipes
for some that can still be made, and that
we are sure will give satisfaction
TRANSPARENT PREsERvE.-This is one
of the most beautiful, palatable and
wholesome preserves that we know of.
Take fair, smooth, sweet apples, with
firm flesh, pare them neatly, cut them
across the core in slices one fourth of an
inch in thickness, emove the seeds but
not the core, as it improves the appear
ance of the preserve. Boil them very
gentle in a little water till tender and
then lifts them carfully on to platters.
Take one half or three-fourth the num-
Der of lemons that you have of apples,
cut them across the core in slices the
same thickness as the apples, remove
the seeds and spread the slices on ear
then plotters. Take pulverized loaf su-
gar-tne weight equallng tnat OF all the
fruit, weighed before boiling-and
sprinkle one half of it over the lemon
slices let it stand a few hours all liquid
enough has formed to cook them in, then
drain it off and put it over the fire in a
porcelain lined kettle, with the rest of
the sugar. When it boils, drop in both
lemon and apple slices and boil gently
till the fruit is clear.
APPLE PREsERvE.--For those who
dislike the flavor of lemon peel, the APP
Piles can be made as above substituting
lemon juice for lemon shines. The ap-
Piles can be left whole, if desired by care
fully cutting out the cores.
II. Cut glass should be rubbed with
a damp sponge dipped into whiting,
then brush this off with a clean brush,
and wash the vessel in cold water.

PLAIN WOMEN.

We like homely women. We have
alwaysl liked them. We do not carry
the regularity far enough to include the
hideous or positively ugly ; for since
beauty and money are the only capital
the world will recognize in women, they
are more to be pitied than admired
but we have a chivalric, enthusiastic re-
gard for plain women We never saw
one who was not modest and unassuming,
and sweet tempered, and seldom came
across one who was not virtuous, and
had not a kind heart. Made aware early
in life of their want of beauty by the
sighted attentions of the opposite sex,
vanity and affectation never take root in
their hearts and in the hope of sup
plying attractions which a capricious Ia
ture has denied, they cultivate the graces
of the heart instead of the person, and
give to the mind those accomplishments
which the world sosrarely appreciates IN
a woman, but which are more lasting,
and, in the eyes of men of sense, more
highly priced than all personal beauty.
See them in the street, at home, or IN
the church, and they are always the
same; and the smile which ever lies up.
no the face is not forced there to fasci-
nate, but is the spontaneous sunshine re-
hected from a kind heart-a flower which
takes root in the soul, and blooms upon
the lips, inspiring respect of passion
Plain women make good wives, good
mothers, cheerful homes, and happy hus-
bands. and we never see one but we
thank heaven that it has kindly created

THE HAIR SNAKE.

The New England Farmer, dwelling
upon this singular species of animated
nature" says:
Science has not satisfactorily deter
mined either the origin or the modes of
existence of these animals. In reply to
inquiries by a correspondent of the
Michigan Farmer, who found hair
snakes in q pan of milk, Mr.. Justus
Gage of that State furnishes a very in
teresting account of his experiments and
observations. He is satisfied of the
fact that both the large and small crick-
cts deposit these snakes in water, du-
ring the month of August; but whether
itself of a parasite, or to deposite a
natural product of its body, he is unable
to determine. Mr.. Gage says, that one
morning after he had been experiment.
ing in his room, by throwing crickets in
to water to obtain snakes, and had sue
eeeded in procuring two, of about four
inches in length, he noticed a black
cricket crawling up the side ofhis water
pail. 1T jumped into the water, lay
quiet for a moment, produced a snake
nearly seven inches in length, and then
nimbly made its escape over the edge of
the pail" He also found a live hair
snake, nearly seven inches in length,
coiled up in the abdomen of a dead
cricket that lay OF its back under a fat
stone. The hair snake, he says, will
live a long time in moist earth, where
he has found them of a greyish or white
color, sometimes of great len 9Th, and
much resembling the fbrous root of
somer vegetable. When seen through a
magnifying glass the hair snake presents
an almost exact resemblance to the lam
prey eel. A. lady of our acquaintance
found o hair snake in her tea-kettle, one
morning, a few years since. 1t had been
standing where a cricket might have
crawled in by the spout; but she is hard
ly willing to give up the theory of her
girahaod, that it was a viYifed horse
