THE BEAvER.--At the last meeting of the
American Association for the Advancement
of Science, L. II. Morgan, Esq, of Rochester,
read an interesting paper on the habits OF
the beaver. Having made this animal the
subject of study for several years, he was
able to give many interesting facts regard
ing the extent Of their operations. On the
southern shore of Lake Superior, in Mar
quette county, he found remains of long
canals and dams constructed by them for
the purpose of transporting their cuttings,
consisting of trunks of trees two or three
feet long, from the place where the trees had
fallen to their lodges. Some of these canals
were 300, 400. and 500 feet long They
were generally three feet wide, with an ave-
rage depth of three feet. In order to main
tain continuous depth of water, they made
dams at certain distances, and followed the
Chinese plan-to whom the lock was un-
HEown-of drawing their cargo from one
level to another. Mr.. Morgan has settled a
long disputed point regarding the species
From comparison of more than one hun
dred skulls of American beavers and four or
i've OF European origin, he is enabled to
state that both classes belong to the same
family.

INDIAN SUMMER.

Just before tho death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes festival season,
When nature is oil aglow--
Aglow with mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness of Spring
Aglow with a beauty more tender
Than aught which fair Summer could bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bowldor the eyes.
The sun from his cloudpillowed chamber
Smiles soft on vision SO gay
And dreams that his favorito children,
The Flowers, have not yet passed away
There's luminous mist on the mountains,
A light, azure haze in the air,
As if angels, while heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there
The breeze is SO soft, so caressing,
1t seems a mute token of love,
and floats to the heart like a blessing
From some happy spirit above. I'd.
These days so serene and so charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
tremuous fearful enjoyment,
Like soft strains of music at night
We know they are fading and fleeing,
That quickly, too quickly they II end
And we watch them with yoarning affection
As Mt parting VIC watch dear friend
Oh beautiful Indian Summer
Thou fayoritc child of the year
Thou, darling, whom Nature enriches
With gifts and adornments so dear.
How fain would we WOO thee to linger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts OF Nature,
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile
Not alone to the sad fields of Autumn
Dost thou lost brightness restore,
But thou bringest a word-weary spirit
Sweet dreams Of its childhood once more.
Thy lovcliness fills US with memories
or all that was brightest and best
Thy peace and serenity offer
A foretaste of heavenly rest

How OUR ANCESTORS LIvED.--Thc i'm
prOvement in social comfort and refinement
in past ages is strikingly shown in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Erasmus, who visited England in the early
part of the sixteenth century, gives curious
description of the interior of anEnglish house
of the better class. The furniture was rough,
the walls unplastered but sometimes vain
scotted or hung with tapestry, and the floor
covered with rushcs, which were not chang
ed for months. The dogs and cats had free
access to the eating rooms, and the frag-
ments of meat and bones were thrown to
them, which they devourcd among the rush
es, leaving what they could not eat to rot
there. with the draining of beer vessels and
all manner of unmcntionable denominations.
There was nothing like refinement or ele-
gance in the luxury of the higher ranks
the indulgences which their wealth permit
ted consisted in rough and wasteful sutru-
sion. Salt beef and strong ale constituted
the principal part of Queen Elizabeth S
breakfast, and similar refreshments were
served to her in bed for supper. At series
of entertainments given by the nobility in
1869, where each exhausted his invention tC
outdo the others, it was universally admit
ted that Lord GOring won the palm for the
magniiicence of his fancy The description
of this supper will give us an idea of what
was then thought magnificent. l. consisted
of four huge, bIawny pigs, piping hot, bit
ted and harnessed, with ropes of sausages
to huge pudding-5ag, which served for
chariot

Valuable Family Hints.

I send you the following Receipts which,
having been tried many times with success,
in order that they may appear in your col
umns, where | have so often been benehtted
by others
Court PLAsTER.-Never having seen in
print an excellent substitute for court plas.
ter. for cuts and bruises upon the hands in
cold weather, l give you the following
Take half dozen pigs feet, well-cleaned
for cooking, and boil to jelly of say about
half a pint or less--then spread with brush
on any waste scraps of silk, and we find 1t
equal to any adhesive plaster we have ever
used Any fatty substance in the boiling OF
the feet raises to the surface, and when cold
can easily be removed
FLAXsEED SIRUP.-This excellent remedy.
| for a cough is made thus: Boil one ounce OF
Daxseed in quart of water for half an hour;
strain and add to the liquid the juice OF two
lemons. and a half pound of rock candy
If the cough is accompanied by weakness
and a loss OF appetite, add half an ounce oil
powdered gum arabic. Set this to simmer
for hall an hour, stirring it occasionally
Take o wine glassfull when the cough Is
troublesome.
BLIsrERED HANDS AND FEET.--As
remedy against blistering OF hanas IN row
ing or fishing, &C., or OF ieet III ~
quickest is, lighting tallow candle anc iet
ting the tall0w drop into cold water (t'
purify it, it is said, from saltO then rubbing
the tallow on the hands or feet-mixec
with brandy or any other strong spirits
For mere tenderness, nothing is better thai
the above, or vinegar little diluted Will
water.
CURE FOR A CoUeH.-A strong decoctio
of the leaves of the pine, sweetened wit
, loaf sugar Take wine glass warm on &C
, ing TO bed, and half an hour before eating
three times a day. The above is sold as
; cough sirup, and is making wonderf'
cures.
To CURE A FELoN.-As soon as the par
: begin to swell, wrap the part affected wit
: a cloth thoroughly saturated with tinctul
I of lobelia, and the felon is dead. An o.
e physician says he has known 1t to cure
s scores of cases, and it never fails, if apple
in season.
:. FoR CuAPPED HANDS. Wash the hand
and, without using the towel, apply smt
,e quantity OF honey and rub in well |
" once day. and il will make the hands ve
fe soft, and cure as well as prevent chapp
hands,
