DOMESTIC RECEIPTS.

CANARY BIRDS are sometimes COW
cred with lice, which cause ill health
and sometimes death They can be
effectually relieved of them by piac-
Ing a clean white cloth over their
cage at night. In the morning it
will be covered with small red spots,
so small as hardly to be seen, except
by the aid of a glass; these are the
lice, a source Of great annoyance to
birds.
A CELLAR which opens inside a
dwelling should be kept faultlessly
clean all the year round as any other
part of the house, because its atmOs-
phere is constantly ascending, and
Emergencies every room in the house
with its own Odors. In reality, there
ought not to be any cellar under any
dwelling.
SoUEAKING Doors or shoes are a
great annoyance, especially in enter
ing sick room, or a church after
the services has commenced the
remedy is, to boil linceed oil and
saturate the soles with the same.

tallow with strong spirits and rub
it thoroughly into the palms or
soles; this is both a preventive and
curative.
FOoD.-The most easily digested
articles of food as yet known, are
sweet apples baked, cold raw cab
bage sliced in vinegar, and boiled
rice; the most indigestible are suet,
boiled cabbage and pork; the former
requires an hour, the latter five.
GRAHAM BREAD.-Take the I'M
bottled flour of wheat, wet it with
lukewarm water, add salt and yeast,
knead in enough more of this flour
to make it stiff, add little moiasses,
and, when risen, bake in medium
sized ioaves.
KETTLES are cleansed of onion and
other odors, by dissolving teaspoon
full of pearlash or saleratus in water,
and washing them.

SUGAR from Havana is always
dirty, that from Brazil is clean, as
also from Porto-Rico and Santa-Cruz.
Refined sugars, whether loaf. crush

Honesty the Best Policy.

One day the Duke of Buccleuch, a
Scotch Cobleman, bought a cow in
the neighborhood of Dalkeith, where
he lived. The COW was to be sent
home the next morning. Early in
the morning the duke was taking
walk in very common dress. AS
he went along, he saw a boy trying
in vain to drive the cow to his resi-
dence. The cow was very unruly,
and the poor boy could not get on
with her at all. The boy not know
ing the duke bawled out to him in
broad scotch accent:
"Hie mum, come here, and gie's a
ham VII this beast.
The duke walked slowly on, not
seeming to notice the boy, who still
kept calling for help. AT last, find
ing that he could not get on with
the COW, he cried out in distress,
"Come here, mum, and help US, and
as sure as anything Pee gle ye haJ
Iget."
The duke went and lent helping
hand.
"And now" said the duke, as they
trudged along after the cow, chow
much do you think you will get for
the job ?"
81 dinna KEN" said the boy, "but
Pm sure o. something, for the folks at
the big house are guild to a bodies
AS they came to a lane near the
house the duke slipped away from
the boy, and entered by different
way. Calling his butler, he put q
sovereign in his hand, saying, "Give
that to the boy who has brought the
cow"
"Well, how much did you get ?'
asked the duke.
"a shilling" said the boy, sand
there's half o. it,"
"But surely you had more than a
shilling" said the duke.
NO." said the boy, ''sure that's
a. I got; and dye no think it's
II do not, said the duke; "there
must be some mistake; and as ] am
acquainted with the duke, if you re-
turn 1 think I'll get you more"
They went back. The duke rang
the bell, and ordered all the servants
to be assembled
"Now," said the duke to the boy,
point me ont the person who gave
you the shilling"
at was that chap there with the
apron" said he, pointing to the but
ler
The butler fell on his knees, con-
fessed his fault, and begged to be
forgiven; but the duke Indignantly
ordered him to give the boy the
sovereign, and quit his service inn
mediately.
"You have lost" said the duke,
your money, your situation, and
your character, by your deceitful-
ness; learn for tie future that hon
esty IS the best policy"
The boy now found out who it was
that helped him drive the COW; and
the duke was so pleased with the
manliness and honesty Of the boy,
that he sent him to school, and pro-
vided for him at his own expense.

A Little Man

Perhaps the most remarkable
dwarf there is in ancient and modern
times is Thomas Joseph Borulaw-
ski, born in Polish Russia in 1888.
His parents were of the medium size
and had family of six children five
sons and one daughter.
Three of the former when full
grown, exceeded the middle stature +:
but the other two and the daughter
attained that of children about the
age of four years. AT the time of
Joseph's birth, he measured only
eight inches in length, but he was
neither weak nor defective, and his
mother, who sucked him frequently
stated that none of her children gave
her less trouble than he. His sister,
AnastasIa, seven years younger, is
represented by him in his Memoirs
as SO short that she could stand I'M
der his arms. She was q perfect
model of symmetry, beauty, having
a lively and cheerful temper, and a
feeling and beneficent heart. At the
age of fifteen, being then % inches
high, he was presented to the EN-
press Maria Theresa, who on one oc-
casion took him on her lap, caressed
him, and asked him what he
thought was most curious and inter-
esting at Vienna. He answe cred
that he had seen in that city many
things worthy of admiration, but
nothing seemed so extraordinary as
that which he then beheld. "And
what is that ?' inquired her Maj
esty. "To see. so little a man on
the lap of of SO great woman" re-
piled Borulawski. The Empress
then wore ring on which was her
cipher in brilliants- His hand being
in hers, and he looking attentively
at this jewel, she asked him whether
the cipher was pretty. II beg your
Majesty's pardon, replied Borulaw-
Ski, ''is is not the ring that | am
looking at, bat the hand which /
beseech your permission to kiss -
at the same time raising it to his
lips. The battered Empress there
upon took a very fine diamond ring,
from the finger of Marie Antoinette,
then a child, and put it on Boru-
lawskfs. The notice of the Empress
procured him the attention of the
whole court, and the marked kind
ness of Count kaunitz. By this
time the little man was about IS in
ches high, could bear fatigue and
lift great weights in proportion to
his size, possessed mental energy
and accomplishments and iudg-
ment very sound understood arith-
metic spoke German and French,
was ingenious in everything he I'M
dertook, lively in his repartees and
just in his reasonings.

CuriosIties of the Ocean Bottom.

Mr.. Green, the famous diver, tells
singular stories of his adventures,
when making search in the deep wa
tiers of the ocean. He gives some
new sketches of what he saw at the
'Siiver Banks, i" near Hayti:
The banks OF the coral on which
my divings were made are about for
ty mi - in length, and about ten or
INVENT n breadth. On this bank of
coral is presented to the diver one of
the most beautiful and sublime
scenes the eye ever beheld. The Wa
ter varies from ten to one hundred
feet in depth, and is so clear that the
diver can see from two to three hum
dred feet, when he is submerged,
with but little obstruction to the
sight.
The bottom of the ocean, in MANY
places, Is as smooth as marble
floor; in others it is studded with
coral columns, from ten to one hun
dred feet in height, and from one To
eighty feet in diameter. The tops of
those more lofty, support n myriad
of pyramIdal pendants, each forming
myriad more; giving reality to the
imaginary abode of some water
nymph. In other places the pend
ants form arch after arch and as
the diver stands on the bottom of
the ocean, and gaZes through these
IN the deep winding avenue, he finds
that they fill him with as sacred an
awe as if he were in some old cathe-
dral which had long been buried be
meath "old oceans wave.n Here
and there the coral extends even to
the surface of the water, "a il those
loftier. columns were towers belong
ing TO those stately temples that are
now in ruins.
There were countless varieties of
diminutive trees, shrubs, and plants.

THE HISTORY OF A LIFE.

Filled to faintness with perfume,
a lady lay, at point OF doom
Day closed: a child had seen the light;
But for the lady, fair and bright,
She rested III undermining night.
Spring rose: The lady's grave was green /;
And near 1t afterward WAS seen
A gentle boy, with thoughtful nIien.
Years fled: He wore manly face,
And struggled in the world S rough race,
And won, at last, u lofty place
And then-he died! Behold before We,
