Japanese Industry.

The japanese are industrious and in
geuious people. Nearly all the usefu
metals are worked by them with grea
skill, especially iron. copper, cold, ant
silver; and they possess an art in the com
bination of metals for beauty and effect
unknown to other people. Their sword
blades are admirable. They also manu-
facture astronomical instruments, and
clocks and watches, which are copied af-
ter European models, probably intro
duced by the Dutch. Their mirrors are
metallic, and very beautiful. Their car
penters and cabinet On makers' tools are al
so equal to any of European manufae-
ture. They are said to be very quick in
observing any improvement introduced
By foreigners, make themselves master of
it, and copy it with skill and exactueSs.
Their coinage is we'll stamped, as they
are good die sinkers. In wood, no peo-
pie work better, and in lacquering they
excel the world. Other nations have at
tempted in vain to initiate and equal them,
owing chiefly to the material necessary
in preparing the, wood, which is the gum
of tree known only to themselves, called
the varnish tree Occasionally specimens
of their lacquer work, through the Dutch
residents of Dezims, have found their
way to this country, but il is said the
best samples are never sent out of the
kingdom. They manufacture glass, both
colored and uncolored; and their porce-
lain is both delicate and beautiful, beyond
all rivalry. Paper they produce in abun-
dance, and principally from the bark of
the mulberry tree. 1t is of different
qualities, and some of it is as soft and
flexible as our cotton cloth, for which it
might be mistaken, and is used for hand
kerchiefs and other domestic wants.
They make silk, the best of which is Gu.
perior to that OF China, and is said to be
woven BY criminals of high rank, who are
confined upon small unproductive is
land, deprived of their property, and
made to support themselves by their la
Dor. The expectation of these silks, it is
said,i prohibited. As a substitute for cot
ton cloth, as before remarked, in the
manufacture of which they have little
skill, they use their coarse, spuDgy pa
per, which is quite as useful and durable.
As they have no sheep or goats, the man
ufacture Of woolens is unknown among
them. Very little leather is produced in
japan, owing to the Buddhist superstition
referred to in a former article, which
N axes those manufacturing or vending it
outcasts from the rest of the population.
It is never used for shoes or other cover
ings for the feet, such being made from
plated straw, for the lower classes; the
nobility and dignitaries wear slippers
made of fine rattan slips, neatly plated.
The ragged appearance of their feet fire.
quently affords ridiculous contrast to
the splendor and richness of the other
portions of their picturesque costume

Irishman to an other.
"But you asked me YOURSELF
"BGt didn't ask gees 30 make love to

"Don't tell NE shat now; didn't I see
you wid my own eyes trying to come the
blarney over herI"
"But 1 tell you I didn't DO any such
thing; I don't care that for your wife,"
giving his fingers snap at the words,
"nor that"
"Yees don't care for her, heyl She's
as good woman as you are, any day, 20

respectful Nv her, III be after taehin' ye

Saleratus.

DR.. Steveus says if ten pounds Of sour
dough were made into bread, in which
was one ounce of saleratus to sweeteD it,
the carbonic acid to raise it would be
sepsrted, and the alkali (Which is poison)
left in the bread. A person in travelling
through the western and Southern States,
where they use an enormous quantity of
potash in their corn bread and short
cakes, sand in the northwest where they
make "mill-risings" and use an inordi-
nate quantity of soda and pearlash, will
find it is the uniform experience of ply
siOians that their patients suffer from
some acute and chronic irritation of the
mucous tissues of the bowels, and it is al
most impossible to raise the patient unless
some one can give them yeast bread.
Every housewife knows how to make
effervesced bread by the use of saleratus
and cream of tartar. The gas which raj
ses the bread by this method is generated
by the same substances, and By the same
means of effervesence isproduced in what
we call soda powders. 1t is lazy way
of making bread, and as it leaves the tar
trate of soda and potash in the food, it
should not be practiced BY any wife or
mother who desires to maintain the health
of her family. Within the past ten years,
we have had "baking powders" "self-rai-
sing flower" and may others, and ninety
families in hundred use some Of these.
The effect is the same as far rs lightness
is concerned, but foreign substances are
added. Physicians know its pernicious
and its dyspeptic tendencies Scientific
american.

A COW belonging to John Iverson. OF

A COW belonging to John Iverson, of
Owasco Village. Cayuga county, N. Y,
gave birth to calf having two distinct
and we'll formed heads, four ears, and
but one neck. The head brancbed off
from the neck few inches below the ears
Both mouths we're perfectly formed and
seemed to have the necessary appurten-
ances for the mastication and disposal Of
food. The passage for food from the
mouths, like the two heads, appeared to
join in one where the heads Joined the
neck. Besides the malformation above
noticed, the calf had four full formed
hind legs. 1 was otherwise natural. hav-

pects similar to natural calves 1t lived
but few moments after birth, as owing
to its wonderful and unusual formation it
become necessary to take it from the COW

gReader, did you ever notice imme-
diately after the marriage head" that
the obituary" notice followedl Typical
of the wedding of happiness and grief in
this life. The chants and songs and
glees of merry ones to-day will be broken
by walls tomorrow. for the sod will be
piled on the breast of some we thought
not so near the grave. We read who
are married and wish them JOY; line be-
low is the record of death, and we say
mournfully, peace to their ashes. Sorrow
treads on the heels ofjoy, songs are hush
ed hS the football of death; laughs are
broken rudely; voices, no matter how mu-
sical, are stilled in moment-never a.
gain to be heard by living ones below.

The Corn Grub.

The corn crop has several formidable
enemies to contend With, and among them
is the grub, which sometimes literally de-
stroys whole fields and frequently dana
ges the crop seriously One Of the best
and most judioious Temedies-perhaps
the best ever suggested lis the applioa-
ton of salt as soon as the plant makes its
appearance above ground, prepared and
used in this way: Take one quart com
mon salt and three parts plaster or eyp-
sum, and apply about a table spoonful a
round each bill, and it will be found to
be sure protection. The mixture shoBld
not come in contact with the young plants
as it may destroy them. This method
has been tried over and o7er sgsin By
some of the best farmers Of Penasylvanis.
Delaware, and New jersey. and when
properly applied has never failed to be
perfectly Successful.

saSome years ago druggist used to
be great on stunning advertisements of
wonderful panaceas that would cure any
thing, ''from the Aurora Borealis to a
pinple." One Sunday morning the good
druggist saw suspended over the door of
Misplace of business large blacksDake,
to which was appended placard that
read thus:-"This worm was removed
from a child four years of age, by two
doses Of comstoek's Vermifuge."

The Girls and the Wives.

Some body has written the following
about the girls, and set it aaoat:-
God bless the girls,
Whose golden curls
Blend With our evening dreams.
They haunt our lives
Like spirit wives,
Or-as nsiads haunt the streams.
They soothe our pains,
They fill our brains
With dreams of summer hours;
God bless the girls,
God bless their curls,
God bless our human flowers.
The wives, we think, are quite as de.
serving of blessing as the girls; there
fore, We submit the following:-
God bless the wives,
They I'LL cur hises
With little bees and honey;
They ease life's shocks,
They mend our socks,
But-doD't they spend the money!
When we are sick
They heal us quick
That is, if they should love u;
If not, We die,
And yet they cry,
And place tonbstones above US.
Ofroguish girls,
With sunny eurls,
We may ih fancy dream;
But wives--true wives
Throughout our lives,
Are everything they seem.
