a'Rae Great EASTERN and the Sab
DsaEER.

A writer for one of the Tract Socie-
Ity's publications has directed pnblic
attention to the wicked disregard and
violation Of the Sabbath, by the build
ers and managers of the Great Eastern,
and the sad and distressing penalties of
their conduct.
In the first place, they built her, en-
icoa0otering many difficulties, notwith>
standing they employed the best engin-
GERS and mechanics, for they made their
men acork on e0ery Sunday.
Being built, the next thing was to
launch her-and in this they met with
almost insurmountable ditficuties.--
They pushed her, and hauled her, and
tugged at her for weeks together with
all the men and machinery at their COM
mand. Stir she did not. One, two,
three, four, five times th+y tried to
launch the monster. Il good many
mistakes aoere made, she was so much
larger than any ship ever built before !;
but the worst mistake Of all was Sab
bath 10o0acjting at last. The God of the
Sabbath appointed it for day OF sa-
cred rest; and will he not frown on
those who abuse it to their own uses !?
On that sabbath day, taul1chj3ag, the
huge o0jaad1ass gaze a0ay. falling some
half dozen Of her men, and retarding
operations for days longer.
Just as the launch was effected, its
great conductor, Mr. Brunei, died

knew his poor brain needed Sabbath
rest, if he did not know it. After the
launch, the great ship steamed off on
its trial trip. The eyes of all England
were looking on her. Pens wrote her
praises, and lips pronounced her a sue
cess. But what was the first news they
heard from her on this trial trip? A
terrible explosion on board The poor
ship was hurried into port While
there, with no urgent necessity for it,
her captain ordered her huge decks to
be cleaned on the Sabbath. The hands
asked for the christian privilege Of rest
on the Lords day. And what answer
did they get ? Arrest and imprison-
ment for disobeying orders A few
months later and we find the death of
the Captain by accidental droaoni,eg

How to get Water on dry Firms.

MEssRs EDITORS In travelling
through the country, how many farms
do we find destitute of water. Now
step up and ask why they do not dig a
we'll some will say eve are to poor -
others, 1--WE are afraid to dig Mr.. So
and-so dug and found no water others
in this neighborhood have dug and drill
led, but their wells are very deep, and
| would as lief haul water mile above
ground as from mile below besides
some Of their wells cost as much as my
farm is worth - Yon can do better
than either Dig a cistern at your
house, barn, or at the nearest ravine, or
place where water will run in the spring,
when the snow is melting. 1t is
to this kind of a cistern | wish to call
special attention, not little egg of a
thing, but good large one, that will
hold ten or fifteen cords of water.
Below will give you my way of
making Ravine Cistern : First, deter
mine upon the place: next, get all ready;
then dig the size you wants xl6 and
10 feet deep is the size of mine)-atter
digging the depth you want, you will
see what your foundation is to rest on,
and unless it is gravel or rock l would
recommend digging the bottom out to
a circle, and commence the wall in the
center Of the bottom and build an arch
upside down, to rest your walls on,
then build the hight you want your
walls and arch over, ifyou have plenty
of the right kind of stone, if not, plank
it, cover over and let it settle and dry
out before you plaster it, build dam
across the water run with the earth you
dug out, so as to letl the water settle
some before you let it into the cistern /;
what little mud rims in will not in
jure the plaster any, and you can clean
it out every time yon get chance.

Dress of abe Japanese women.

The dress of the japanese women is simple
but graceful. The robe which crosses the breast
close up to the neck, or a little lower, Accord 10
to the taste of wearer, reaches nearly to the
ground, and has loose sleeves, leaving the waist
free. This robe is fastened round the body by
a shawl. which is tied behind in bow, the ends
flowing Everything in JAPAN even in dress,
is regulated by law and the sumptuary laws
have been very strict until lately, when contact
with Europeans seems to be bringing about a
slight relaxation. The color worn by all classes
ofmen in their usual dress is black or dark blue,
OF varied patterns ; but the women properly are
allowed and of course avail themselves of the
privilege to wear brighter dresses. Yet their
taste is so good that gay colors are generally es-
chewed. Their robes are generally striped silks
of gray blue or black, the shawls some beauti-
ful bright color crimson, for instance, and their.
fine jet hair tasrefully set off by having crimson
Grape of very beautiful texture, thrown in
among it. OF course we speak of the outdoor
dress of the women their full dress within
doors is. webelieve, far more gay.-CruiSe IN Jap-
