\ beautiful reply is recorded of Dal-
ecarlian peasant, whose master was dis
playing to him the grandeur of bis es-
tates. Farms, houses, and forests were
pointed out in succession, on every hand +,
as the property of the rich proprietor who
summed up finally by saying: "In short
all that you can see 10 every direction
belongs to me-" The poor man looked
thoughtful for moment, then pointing
up to heaven, solemDly replied, "And is
THAT also thineI"
And is not this a question which may
well be addressed to every one who is re-
joicing in the multitude of his riches; who
as he looks around him, sees the mercies
that have been poured into his lap; may
he not be asked-"Is heaven also thinel"
And if such question may be asked Of
the rich, may it not be asked of all,
whether rich or poor! And may We not
in all sincerity ask the reader to weigh

Water is Food.

Tell the first man you meet that wafer
is on the whole more nutritious than roast
beef, and that com mon salt, or bone ash,
is as much an edible as the white of an
egg, and it is probable that he will throw
anxious slances across the street to as
sure himself that your keeper is at hand.
Make the same statements to the first
man of science you meet, and the chan
ces are that be will think you very iguo-
rant of organic chemistry or that you are
playing with paradox. Nevertheless, 1t
is demonstrably true, and never would
have worn the air of paradox, if men
had steadily conceived the nature of an
elementary substance. That it is an all
ment that nourishes; whatever We find In
the organism, as a constant and integral
either forming part of its structure, or
one of the conditions of vital processes
that, and that only, deserves the name OF
ailment If, "to nourish the body"
means to sustain its waste-if food enters
into the living structure-and if all the
integral constituents of that structure are
derived from food-there can be nothing
improper in designation as nutritious
those substances which have an enormous
preponderance among the integral con-
stitueuts. People who think it paradox
ical to call water food, will cease their
surprise on learning that water forms
two-thiTds of the living body.

Large Bells.

which is on the town of Kremlin, was

tn tons. 1t is twenty one feet high, and
twenty two feet in diameter at the bottom.
It cost one million and half of dollars.
There is another bell near it which weighs
sixty-four tons. 1t takes three men to
swing its tongue. 1t is only rang three
times a year and then all the other bells
are silent. 1t is said the vibration OF the

Heat from the Stars.

1t is startling fact that if the. earth
were dependent alone upon the sun for
heat, it would not get enough to make
the existence of animal aud vegetable life
upon its surface. 1t results from the re-
searches of Pouiilet, that the stars fur
ni.h heat enough in the course of year
10 melt a crust of ice SIS feet thick, al
most as much as is supplied by the sun.
This may appear strange when we con-
slider boweger i'm neasurably small must
be the amount of heat received from any
one of these distant bodies. Bat the sur
prise vanishes. when We remember that
the whole frmameut is so tEickly sown
with stars. that in some places thousands
are crowded together within space no
greater than that occupied by the full
moon.--Dr. Larder.

Heat Of the Moon.

Prof. Piazza Smith, the Astronomer
Royal Of England, 10 bis interesting ac-
count of scientific expedition to the
Peak Of Teneriffe, has set at rest the vex-
ed question of the heat of moonlight. He
says that his themomeirical instruments
were sensibly affected By the moons rays,
even at the lowest of two stations occu-
pied by bin at different elevation. In
tropical climates meat which is exposed
to the u moonlight rapidly becomes putrid,
and in the Indies. the negroes who lie
sweliering and uncovered beneath the full
glare of tropical sun, carefully muffie
their heads and faces when exposed to the
moonbeams, which they believe may cause
swelling aud distortion Of their features,
and sometimes even blindness.

Handsome Men.

One Of our exchanges contains the fol-
lowing curious remarks relating to hand
some men:
"If you are ever threatened with a
handsome man in the family, just take a
clothes-pounder while be is yet IN bed,
aud batter his head to pumise. From
some cause or another, handsome men
are invariably asses; they cultivate their
hair and complexion SO much, that they
have no time to think of their brains. s.
By the time they reach thirty. their heads
and hands are equally soft. Again, We
say, if you wish to find an intelligent IN n

Sugar.-New Mode Of Manufacture.

Some new processes have been introduced in
the manufacture of sugar. II is we'll known thai
the juice, when expelled from the cane, is unavOld-
ably mixed with numberlesS minute fragments of
cellular tissue, abumen, and other extraneOus
matters, which, if not speedily removed tend 10
produce the acidifcation of the liquid. The usual
mode of defecaton and filtration consists in raIs-
ing the temperature of the liquor to hundred
and fifty degrees Fahrenheit, when quantity of
lime is thrown in for the purpose of neutralizing
the free acid. and assisting in the cOagulatlOn OF
the slbunen the temperature is increased TO one
hundred and eighty degrees, when, after allowing
time for settling, the scum is removed. aud the

ulent and other albunnous matters are kept con-
stantly removed from its surface; the more m
pletely these impurities are removed. the greater
will be the brightness and value of the finished
product. In the new process the juice is passed
thrOugh wire straIner direct frum the spout Of
the mill into the clarifers, where It is raised to
boiling heat by the application of steam, at which
temperature it is kept for about three minutes, by
which time the whole of its albumlnous consttu-
ents and feculent matters coagulated and chem
ically separated. but still remain mechanically
mixed, and, in the form of light feck, pervade the
entire bulk of the fluid. These substances are

Swearing.

" Trust not to the promise of common swear
err" said Francis Quarles in his EnehiridioR, ''for
he that dare sin against his God for neither profit
pleasure, will respass against thee for his
advantage. He that dare break the precepts of
his father will easily be persuaded to violate the
promise unto his brother"
There is good common sense in this advice, and
it would be well if it were acted on. There are
no doubt. many great scoundrels who never swear,
and perhaps few men of otherwise good conduct
who sometimes transgress the commandment; bnt
of the - common swearer'-the man whose every
other word is an OATH and cannot perform the
most trivial disgraceful act without pro-
fanely invoking the name of the Supreme Being
but little good can be said. He may be successful
in business, shrewd in worldly dealing, and eoura-
geous in fileng danger but in qualities that make
up the gentleman and the christian, he is wofully de-
deficient. Take the man who is well read in good
literature, who is agreeable 10 those in whose soci
ETY. he is thrown, and whose name is bur another
word for honor and probity, and he will never be
found one who
