which should at all times be provided with

Do NOT DEsPIsE THE SHoP-The Importance
of mechanical training and of habits of reg
ularity and method, cannot be over-estima-
ted in their various bearings upon the re-
lations of life, and we would say to those
young men who are at this moment strug-
CLING through details which appear to be
hard, useless and full Of wearness, to hold
on their utility may not be apparent at
present, but the day is sure to come when
they will reap the benefit of such discipline
and routine. Hold on ; don't give up in
our own country no social prejudices pre-
vail which prevent the humble dyer from
becoming the learned and skillful chemist;
no barriers exist which deprive those whom
the chances of life made rude and unalter-
ed, from becoming shining lights in the
world of science. Most great inventors
have sprung from the ranks of the brave
daily workers, and the field is still wide
one, expanding every day therefore we
say hold on" to the training of the shop,
improve your spare hours in mental culture
and reward is certain.

HEALrHFULNEss OF ArPLEs.-There is scarce
= an article of Vegetable food, says Halls
Journal of Health, more widely useful and
universally loved, than the apple. Why
every farmer in the country has not an ap
pie or hard where trees will grow at all is
one of the mysteries. Let every family lay
in from two to ten or more barrels, and ii
will be to them the most economical invest
ment in the whole range of culinaries. A
raw, mellow apple is digested in an hour
and a half, while boiled cabbage requires
five hours. The most healthy dessert
which can be placed ON table is a baked
apple If taken freely at breakfast, with
coarse bread and butter, without meat or
flesh of any kind, it has an admirable effect
on the general system, often removes con-
stipation, correcting acidities, and cooling
of febrile conditions more cl1ectually than
the most approved medicines. If families
could be induced to substitute the apple
ripe, sound and lucious-for the pies, cakes,
candies and sweatmeats with which their
children are too often indiscreetly stuffed,
there would be dimunition in the sum to-
tai of doctors bill, in single year, suffi-
cient to lay in a stock of this delicious fruit
for whole seasons use.

two days after killing, during which time it
