The mistress of the Bears Head Inn
never mixed up incidents more in her life,
even when upraiding the recreant Falstali,
than does the following contributor to the

The modens are accustomed to pooh
pooh good deal at people so unfortunate
as to live before the 10Th century; but just
think what some Of these remote people and
times did manage to find out and accom-
plish for themselves. There was Egypt
oldest and wisest Of the nations-wha a
record for her is deciphcred, in the last 30
years, of her past.
What did the old Egyptian know about
the oldest Of the arts, about farming? lie
knew how 10 manage his great river--the
one source Of moisture and fertility in that
climates rs TO turn the desert beyond its
banks into Il garden, and make Egypt a
storehouse and granary for the surrounding
nations. lie built reservoirs 50 huge as to
retain sufficient water from the overlooking
river to feed ii when it subsided-a lake $50
miles around and 300 feet deep-and this
fitted up with u skilful system Of flood
gates, dams and locks. These were works
ON stupendous scale, truly.
As to what he knew about building, who
has not heard Of his pyramids, those vast
MASSES, some of which were old in the time
of Abraham, and yet built with such faith
perfect? lie knew how TO quarry and move
huge blocks of stone 80 feet in length, and
then cover them with accurate and beauti-
full chseling. The whole land was full Of
these wonderful statues, ubelsks, tombs
| and temples.
About manufacturing, he knew how to
weave linen so fine that each separate
thread was composed of 3Gj small threads
twisted together. He knew how TO dye ii
in purple, and blue, and scarlet, and how
to embroider ii. He knew how TO get iron
and copper from mines at Sinai, and how
to make useful tools of them when obtain
ed.
But what did he know about science? lie
understood geometry well enough, at least
for land surveying. lie understood the ro-
tundity of the EARTH the suns central place
in the solar system, the obliquity of the
ecliptic. lie could foretel eclipses, tho pc,
sition Of the planets, the true length of the
year. lie had found out method of nota
tiOn-two Of them, indeed, the decimal ant
the duodecmal As for chemistry, its very
name from Chemi, which means Egypt,
tells MS where it was first studied. No won
der that the Egyptians got the reputation
among their more ignorant neighbors, o
being magicians As for books, the oil,
Egyptians made paper and wrote on it, an,
we have now papyrus rolls made in tn
time of the early Pharaohsi but he went OF
further to turn his buildings, his obellsks
even lis collins into books, nscribing then
with histories and biographies, by repre-
senting on them, through paintings am
sculpture, all his occupations and beliefs
his hopes and fears.
One asks in wonder where he got all hi
knowledge Ancient Greece went to hin

The grape culture is becoming a most
important branch of industry in Missouri,
and ii is estimated that in a few " ars the
wine crop will be worth more than any
other agricultural production of that State,
corn and wheat alone excepted. The town
of Hermann in Gasconade county, which
was settled in 1880 by German settlement
society from Philadelphia, and now has u
population of 1900, is the most important
centre of the grape-growing and wine-mak-
ing interest. The vintage of Hermann was
about 100000 gallons last year. In
that region, when vineyard is in good
bearing condition it yields, with a favorable
season, profit of about $500 per acre. The
entire cost of vineyards, preparing the soil,
and setting and training the vines till they
come into bearing, varies from 5000 to $500
per acre, while the annual cost Of cultiva-
ton afterward ranges from $50 To $50 per
acre. An acre of Concord vines for market
purposes will yield from 10000 TO $4,000
pounds, which will sell at an average price
of ten cents a pound. The whole number
of acres planted in and around Hermann is
between three and four hundred, and All
the way to the Gasconade river, dlssnce
of about seven miles, is continuous vine
yard. From the success attending it in
Gasconade county, prape-growing is rapid
ly spreading into different portions of the
south half of Missouri. Eight or ten mil
lions OF acres lying along the hillsides or in
the warm valleys of this portion of the
State-lands, too, that have been considered
worthless when compared with the richer
alluvions of the river and the prairie-have
been found to be the most productive of all.
These lands are still cheap, and thousands
are annually making their homes upon
them. 1t is claimed that great portion of
Missouri possesses the requisite soil and
climate for raising every variety of grapes,
and the vines are being abundantly plant
ed in all parts of the State. In many To-
calitics the vines have become so large and
numerous as to form conspicuous feature
of every cOpsc and thicket.

OF SUCCESS.

1t is no eNaggeratiun 10 say that health is
a large ingredient in what the world calls
talent. \ man without it may De giant
in intellect; but his deeds will be the deeds
Of a dwarf. On the contrary, let him have
quick circulation, good digestion, the
bulk, thcws and sinews Of Il man, and the
alacrity, the minimizing confidence in
~pired by these, and, though having but a
thmbleiul Of brains, lac will either blunder
upon success or set failure at defiance. 1t
is true, especially in this country, that the
number of centaurs in every community
Of men in whom heroic intellects are allied
with bodily constitutions as tough as horses
is small that, in general, Il man has
reason 10 think himself well off in the lot
terry of life if he draws the prize of a healthy
stomach without mind, or the prize of
line intellect with crazy stomach. But,
of the two, a weak mind in herculcan
frame is better than giant mind i'm crazy
constitution. \ pound Of energy with an
ounce of talent will achieve greater results
than pound of talent with an ounce Of en-
ergy. The first requisite to success in lite
is to be good animal. In any of the learn
ed professions a vigorous constitution is
equal to at loast'liity per cent. more brains.
Wit, judgment, Imagination, cloquence, all
the qualities Of the mind, attain thereby
force and splendor to which they could
never approach without it. But intellect
in weakly body is "like gold in a spent

PRoDUCr OF CoAL.-A pound of coal may
be regarded AZ equivalent to days labor
of a man; hence 300 pounds will represent
the labor of man for year. 1t has been
estimated that $1,000, eco tons of the annual
product of Great Britain is devoted to the
development of motive power, and that
this is equivalent to the labor of 1873, 100000
men. The area of the coal fields of the car
boniierous age, lying within the limits of
the United States, has been estimated at
10000 square miles. The area of Ohio is not
less than 10000 square miles, or quite equal
to that possessed by Great Britain, and far
in excess Of that of any other European ma
ton. The annual coal production of Great
Britain is over 100000, 600 tons; in Ohio il
is now about 1000, 600 tons

as given by the last census, was 23,5O0, but
last Sabbath an actual count revealed the
fact that the attendance at the twenty
places of worship in the city did not exceed
5000. OF this number, 1900 souls were
present at the three Roman Catholic church,

versalist, Unitarian and spiritualist houses,
leaving the Evangelical attendance of the
day at only about 5000, out of a population
Of nearly eight times that number. OF the
Evangelical sects, the Congregationalists
are strongest in point of number, the Meth

To REMOVE THE TASTE OF WooD.-A
A new keg, churn, bucket, or other wood
en- vessel, will generally communicate a
disagreeable taste to anything that is put
into it. To prevent this inconvenience,
scald the vessel well with boiling water,
letting the water remain in it until cold /;
then dissolve some pearlash or soda in
lulewarm WATER adding little lime to 1t.
Wash the inside Of the vessel well with
this solution. Allerward scald II well with
hot water, and rinse with cold water before
YOU use 1t. The reason for this is the ready
combination of the resinous matter with
alkalies TO form compounds soluble in al
