VARIETIES OF BAD TEMpER.-Bad temper
is ottener the result of unhappy circumstance
than of an unhappy organization. It fire..
quently, however, has a physical cause, and
a peevish child often needs dieting more than
correcting. A child of active temperament,
sensitive feeling, and eager purpose, is more
likely to meet with constant jars and rubs
than a dull, pensivc child; and, if he is on
open nature. his inward irritation is shown in

Tr,uis by scolding aud punishment, you only
increase the evil by changing passion into
sulkiness. A cheerful, good tempered tone
of your own, q sympathy when his trouble
has arisen from no i'll conduct on his part, are
the best antidotes. Never fear spelling chill
drcn by making them too happy. Happiness
is the atmosphere in which all good affection
grow.

THs STRoSa.M1sDBD.-Mm. Elizabeth
Candy Stanton has started on a new hobby in
the woman's rights movement. She repudi.
ates the halfway bloomer costume, and goes
in for an entire similarity in the dress of the
sexes. She says: ''The true idea is for the
sexes to dress as nearly alike as possible.
We have seen several ladies dressed precisely
like gentlemen, who appeared far moro
elegant and graceful than any real man We
ever saw. Ayoung lady in Fifth Ayenue,
dressed in male custume for years, trsyeliug
all oyer Europe and this country. She says
1t would have been impossible to have seen
and known as much Of life in woman's attire.
and to have felt the independence aud sccuri.
ty she did, had her sex been proclaimed be.
foro all Israel and tho sun. There are manv
good reasons for adopting male costume.
First, it is the most convenient dtcss that can
be invented second, in it woman should 80.

work third, a conceallnent of sex could pro.

Wherever this fault-6nding with ones condi.

THE ART OF MAKING ToAsr.-Did the
reader ever ask for toast ut an hotel ? IF 80, he
probably was served with q piece of fresh
bread, burned before the FIRE, the charcoal
mostly scraped off, and served under the name
of toast. Now there is a little science ~involy.
ed In making toast. It should always be
made Of stale bread. The heat drives off
whatever acids may have formed in the loaf,
but more than that, the starch Of the -four is
moro or less converted by the heat into more
digcstible substance, dextrime. BY nicely
toastiug Q slice of bread We save tho digestive
organs q certain amount of labor hence toast
is usually acceptable to invalids and those Of
impaired digestion. So much for the philo.
sophy Of tho thing. Now for tho PRACTICE.
Mako tho toast from a stale homemade loaf.
Bakers bread will make an imitation Of toast.
but not tho thing itself. Slice moderately
thin, and place on tho ~toasting fork. or in
some Of the wire t~oastcrs, and hold it near the
fire until it is we'll warmed through. Then
hero comes tho irub---brihg 1t near the fire
whore 1t will quickly become of a light brown,
or rather of a deep golden yellow, turn and
treat the other edo the same, and servo. If
buttered toast is desired, apply butter id mod.
crate quantity while hot. Toast should not
be piled upon q plato, as 10 that case the
crispness is lost. If there is no toast rack.
lay the slices tapping ovor ono another, shin.

The WEATHER delightful weather,
resembling that of April, rather than of Feb
ruary, and its accompanying bright sun shine,
which has been prevailing for some time past,
was succeeded to-day by cloudy sky, and a
cold and disagreeable northeast wiad, and
about one o'clock this evening a snow storm
commenced and has continued until the hour
at which this paper was put to press. The WIN
ter "has broken" though-at any rate, the
old colored people say so-for the ground hogs
have been unable to see their shadows during
the entire day.

Sioux CTTY.-Among the most thriving
nlaces Just starting upon career OF prosperous
Growth in the West, is Sioux City, IN which,
fortunately, several citizens of this city have
made investments which may prove highly re-
muoerative. 1t is locatedin the Northwestern
section of the State of Iowa, on the Missouri
river, about 1900 miles below Fort Benton,
the head of navigation. Within the past year
a branch of the Pacific railroad has been CON-
pieted to this point, and it is to be the terminus
Of five other roads-two OF which will be fin
ished next year. The population of Sioux City
was doubled last year, and 220 houses were
erected there during the same period, some Of
which are elegant and costly structures.

THROUGH FREIGHT. The late accident to
the railroad bridge across the Potomac has,
up to this time, effectualy obst,ucted the trans
portation of freight through this city, and as
the Baltimore steamers have not as yet re-
sumed their trips, considerable quantities are
accommodating at both ends of the break. 1t Is
not known when the bridge will be passible, as
the repairs to it have not yet commenced. -
Efforts are being made to induce some OF the
steamboat lines between this city and Balt'
more to commence running at on,e, irrespective
of the contingencies of the weather, but whether
they will be successful or not remains to be
