though l see not that we have shown
ourselves wanting in capacity to enjoy
I il.
But war is not pleasure, or only a
pleasure i'm the sense that drunkenness
and debauehery are-exciting the pas
sions of men and leaving women to
those lonely hours of waiting and sus-
pense, which Mrs. Browning has writ
ten of with so much feeling and tender
ness.
/ want to relate to yOu-Or at least
recall to your minds-a little incident i'm
Ancient History. l think it is the
Egyptians who have n superstition in
regard to cats; and their veneration for
these feline animals is so great that they
would not harm cat for their lives. or
under any circumstances. On a certain
time the party a, war with these super
stitious people marched into the field,
each warrior bearing in his arms and
nestled closely TO his heart beautiful
cat. The consequence was that instead
of a field of carnage, not one in either Of
those vast armies was harmed. The
enemy dared not attack the men fer
fear of harming the eats.
Now your chivalry for woman surely
equals the Egyptians veneration for
cats. And what want to suggest is
this : That you take us with you to the
battlefield. Take us close to your
hearts in war, and see if the chivalry
which prompts you to rush across the
ballroom floor to pick up a lady's
handkerchief cannot be of some noble
use. See if woman's presence on the
field of battle cannot hold warlike man
spell-bound, and learn him at last for
beaanee with his brother.

A PETRIFIED BIRDS NEST AND EGG:

y PETRIFIED BIRDS NEST AND EGGS.
A correspondent of the Scientific ADleTi-
can writes:
The most remarkable petrifactiOn |
ever saw was found in the mining
ground of Messrs. Nichols and Ennis, in
the You Bet mining district, in CalifOr-
mia. 1t consisted of birds nest and
eggs thoroughly silicified, the eggs re-
tanning their natural size and shape.
The nest was somewhat fiattened, and
what had evidently been the straws and
twigs of which it had in former times
been composed were like threads OF
glass. Some of the eggs were broken
before the nest was discovered, the shells
seemed thiekened, but very little, II
any. What had apparently been the
inside of the egg was now little dao OF
glass. This nest was taken from the
! fork of a large fossil tree, where il had
been for ages, undisturbed in its cosy
resting place, until wood, nest and eggs
had passed away, and their place and
form been assumed by the silex OF which
the fossil was composed.

man, Glauber (who contributed many
valuable additions to the mechanical de-
partment Of chemistry used safety valves.
In his treatise on philosophical furnaces,
translated into English in 1851, he des-
cribes the modes BY which prevents re-
torts and stills from bursting from an ex.
cessive pressure. A conical valve was
fitted, being ground alright to it, seat
and loaded with " cap Of lead 20 that
when the vapor became too " high" il
slightly raised the valve and a portion es.
capped the valve then closed again Of IL
self, {" being pressed down by the leaden
Gap and so kept close"
The idea was followed up BY others, and
we find in the "Art Of DistiIlation," by
John French, published soon afterward in
London, the following concerning toe ac.
ton Of such safety valves " Upon the
top Of a supple (valve) there may be fas-
tened some lead, that if the spirit be too
strong, il will only heave up the supple
and let it fall down again"
The fact must not be not be lost sight of
that the word steam was not known at the
time, beiUgof later coinage. In its place
we find il every old book the words vapor,
spirit, smoke, syre, aud even ghost, whence
he modern word gas, for aeriform bodies,
s doubtlest derived.

PooR Mans Plum PUDDlNG.-One
cup chopped suet, one cup mOlasses, one
cup sweet milk, one egg, two cups -four,
pinch Of salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Stir all together: ten add one pound
raisins and one pound currants: wet the
cloth in cold water previous to putting the
pudding into it. Boil four hours. To he
eaten with wine sauce.
To prevent cake burning round the sides
and on the bottom, place the pan con
tanning it in one or two earthen or iron
pans, and if the oven is too bot on top
place over the pans two thicknesses Of
white Japer. This should always be done
with large cakes, requiring considerable
time to bake thoroughly.
CUR1Se PoRK.-It has been asserted
bv chemists that scurvy will never arse
from the use of salt provisions, unless salt
petre be used in curing that salt alone
answers all the purposes, provided the ami
nal heat be entirely parted with tefore
sailing. The pork should he rubbed tho
roughly with dry salt after i has entirely
parted with the animal beat, and before
decomposition or faint commence round
he bone. The fluid running from the
meat should be poured off before packing
the pork in the barrel.
To SroP BLEEDING 1t is said that
bleeding from a wound, on a man or
beast, may be stopped BY q mixture Of
wheat flour and common salt, ID equal
parts, bound on with a cloth If the bleed
ing be profuse, use large qnantity, say
from onr TO three pnts. 1t may be left on
for hours, or even days, II necessary. The
person who gave us this recipe saws that,
in this manner, he saved the life Of borse
which was bleeding from wounded az
tery. The bleeding ceased in five MINUTES
after the application.

WIT AND WISDOM.

A PAPER has an article headed with the
conumdrum, "Why do wives fade ~ The

"JoHN, did you ever bet on q horse race?"
''No, but have seen my sister Bet on our

OLD Starks, an honest German, had .
farm about three niles from the village Of
Naples, on the Illinois River, and, like
most Of his countrymen who settle in this
country, was great on garden truck, butter,
eggs, etc, which be carried regularly 10 the
town to sell or barter for family supplies,
One day be came in M usual, and Peter
Critser, the stOre-keeper, thinking TO get
''saw" on the old man, said
"Well Starks, got some more eggs?"
Yah, I have a few"

The Junkers.

The Prussian nobility, well known, even
abroad, by their nickname the J,nkers, are
fer the most part Cat least, as far as Prus-
sia proper is concerned the descendants
OF the Teutonic knights, of those Northern
crusaders who carried the cross to the
shores Of the Baltic in the thirteenth cen
tury. They still own large tracts Of land
in the thinly populated regions conquered
BY their ancestors. They are fond of re-
siding permanently in their solitary manors,
their time being divided between the chase
and the pursuits Of agriculture. Few only
can afford to live in idleness, and if they
have to choose professional career, it is
natural that they should prefer the military
career to all others. Even now almost all
the officers OF the Prussian Army belong
to the nobility. At the time OF Frederick
William ~. the same could be said OF the
higher functiOnares Of the civil service
On the whole, the Prussian mobiles have al
ways shown themselves worthy Of the dis
tlnction they enjoyed. Strict integrity
perfect freedom from prOAigacy and from
the frivolties Of dandyism, superiority o
manners, secured for them the respect, i
not the good will, Of the people. Yet the
Prussians have never been proud of theil
Junkers. as the English are of their mobiles
Nor could they have felt pround Of them
For, unlike the English arlstocracy, wbicI
is continually recruited from the lowe
ranks, the Prussian MOBILES we're a rae,
within race, a real caste that had nOthins
in common with the bulk OF the people.
Only the school and the landwenr drill
forced the two classes to the same level
and the natural result of thirty years
schooling was that new generation wa
growing up which, though Plebian de pr
formed, 10 point Of fact, new kind OF ar
istocraay-an intellectual arlstOcracy-
which which was not likely long to remaII
unconscious Of its, at least partial, super
ority to The native squires.
1t is but just, however, to add that ia
Prussian bureaucacy, though harsh an'
unamiable, has never been mercenary o
corruptibIe, and that the tyranny Of Ii
Government, though stupid and vexatiou,
has never been cruel in its methods, {
morally bad ID It's aims. The official bt
