There are one hundred different specie


of figs. Almost all belong to tropical
countries, of the vegetation of which they
often form most important feature. They
abound in India, in every jungle and hilly
situation, to the most northern Himalay,
and some of them are cultivated about every
village. The common fig is native of the
East, as the specific name Carica imports;
but it is now cultivated throughout the
whole of the south of Europe, and is even
found naturalized there. Its cultivation
has also extended to many warm countries.
In North America, it is seldom to be seen
farther north than Philadelphia, and is not
sufficiently hardy to be common fruit. In
Lancaster there is number of trees which
bear excellent fruit. Fig-trees are propa-
gated by seed, by suckles, etc; very fire.

One Way to a Husbands Heart.

Too much cannot be said or written on
| the subject of cooking, for life, health, pros
perity and happiness depend upon the quail
ity of the food we eat. Many man can
trace his fallen fortunes and shipwrecked
hopes to heavy bread, tough biscuit, and
other poor cooking.
Stomachs ought to have sheet-iron lin
ings to endure the burdens and insults
heaped upon them by Intellectual house.
wives.
Those long-faced, glum sort of people,
to whom it seems sin to laugh and drive
| dull care Away, are most likely the victims
of indigestion which brings on multitude
| of diseases and makes invalids. So man
may work and do his best to accumulate a
fortune-but if his wife does not properly
prepare his food, or, if they can afford it,
see that her hired help does it, in the midst
Of increasing prosperity and bright pros
poets that man is very likely to fall sick;
and when his strength is gone, the spirit of
his projects dies out, and everything sinks
down stasnant and lifeless.
Women have far greater responsibility
| in these things than many of them like to
admit or assume. 1t requires very little
more effov. to do things well than to botch
them up. And there is satisfaction in
knowing 4 thing is rightly done which pays
for the trouble.
Especially is it true Of girls who go out
to work, that they are apt to take the
quickest way of turning off work, if it is
not the best. They ought to feel the
Importance Of their position, and that they
must cook we'll and keep the house cleanly,
if they desire the family where they live to
be well and happy. In all departments of
housekeeping, it costs less to be neat,
how much butter, sugar, eggs, and flour to
use on baking day, as well as just how long
to boil or roast nice tender piece of meat,
that it may not be toughened, and its sweet
ness and nourishment cooked away.
Good housekeepers know so many ways
to save and economise, of which an un-
practiced hand is entirely ignorant. Ex-
perienced cooks make delicious and inex-
pensive dishes of odds and ends left over
from meal to meal, which in most house
holds are more or less wasted. Who would
believe that the well picked bones of
roasted chicken, with two OF three little
beef bones taken from the broiled beef
steak which was served at breakfast, boiled
two hours in about quart of water, will
make excellent soup, good for the sick and
tempting to the most delicate taste? Try
it and see.
Soup is strengthening, and can be made
much cheaper and easier than most people
imagine. Beef bones are just as good for
soup after they have been roasted as any,
and save much expense.
There is no accomplishment for which
woman has reason to congratulate herself
and be proud, as for being good house.

ing is to be good cook.

THE BORE.

Nascitur non fit. Bores are born. not
made. 1t is in the constitution, or the cir
culation, or the respiration, or the phrenol-
ogy, or the organic fibre. A venerable
quack used always to locate his patients
diseases in the pericardium. Perhaps it
is something in the structure of the peri
cardium that makes man bore. The
symptoms are curious. The echo in the
head is one of them. When mans SEN
tences turn again upon themselves repeat
ing themselves or revolving about the Same
points, he has the disease. His punctua-
tion becomes deranged. The commas are
long and the periods have all dropped out.
1t is of no use to hint to him that you are
bored. That is embarrassing; and the
more he is embarrassed the less able he is
to leave. He rises up in his chair; he is
about to go. You feel relieved. The
nightmare is to disappear. But he detects
the radiance in your face, and in minute
he settles back again. He feels that he
can not bear to leave an unfavorable impress
sion on you. He must stay longer and
remove it. He starts the same old train of
talk. You feel sorry for him, for bore
is always an object of pity. He wants to
get away, but he has not courage enough
to make the effort. There is no good stop
ping-place in his talk, no cadence in his
conversation. He is feeling round for the
note that will make an appropriate close,
but he never strikesit. He rises and stands.
But he is so encouraged to have gotten SO
far, that he begins again. Then he goes
through another half hour of endeavor to
find suitable peroration. There is an
aggravated form of disease in which the
subject is known as "the door-knob BORE"
He hangs himself on the knob, and always
thinks of something at the moment when
he is making motion toward leaving that
brings HIM back again. Do not utter inner
maledictions against him when he is gone.
Poor fellow! He has used up some hours
of your time, but he has wasted lifetime
of his own. Dickens describes him when
he says that he he has the dry-rot. Avoid
him, dodge him, tremble when. you see
him. But pity him.
The sketch is from life. The empty
chair in which he reclined is on the oppo-
site side of the table. We have nearly
expired in the exhausted receiver of his
insane talk. The sense of lost halliday
yet tingles in our nerves. If it would do
any good, we should surely paint Cotton
Mather's inscription over our door: "Be
short" But nothing will drive away bores,
nothing has any effect on them. Even the
carbolic acid fails, and we do
not believe that the pungent extract of
Cotton Mather would prevail against them.

PERsPIRATIoN-The unpleasant odor
produced by perspiration is frequently the
source of yexation to persons who are sub
ject toit. Nothing is simpler than to re.
move this odor much moro efectually than
by the application of such costly unguents
and perfumes as are in use. 1t is only ne
cessary to procure some of the compound
spirits of ammonia, and place about two
table-spoonfulls in basin of water. WASH
ing the face, hands and arms with this,
leaves the skin as clean, sweet and fresh as
one could wish. The wash is perfectly
harmless, and very cheap. 1t is recon-
mended on the authority Of an experienced

The Drunkard's Child.
BY MRS. PARkHURST.

You ask me why so oft, father,
The tear rolls down my cheek,
And think it strange that l should ow
A grief | dare not speak;
But oh, my soul is very sad,
My brain is almost wild;
1t breaks my heart to think that
Am called a drunkard's child.
My playmates shun me now, father,
Or pass me by with scorn,
Because my dress is ragged, and
My shoes are old and torn;
And if heed them not, "there goes
The drunkard's girl" they cry;
Oh then, how much wish that God
Would only let me die.
You used to love me once, father,
And we had bread to eat;
Mamma and l were warmly clad,
And life seemed very sweet.
You never spoke unkindly then,
Or dealt the angry blow;
Oh father dear, tits sad to think
That rum hath changed you so.
Do not be angry now, father,
Because l tell you this,
But let me feel upon my brow,
Once more thy loving kiss;
And promise me, those lips no more
With drink shall he detiled,
That from life of want and woe,
Thou'lt save thy weeping child.

VINO PUT THEM THERE "A rsmarka-
BILE group Of eonical stone monuments,
made of smooth and apparently hewn stones
cemented together, and evidently the work
of skilled builders, has been found near
Death Valley, in southern California. Some
of the monuments are in nearly perfect
condition; others have fallen, one or two
appeared unfinished. There are probably
one hundred in all, about four feet high,
between two and three feet in diameter at
the base, and from twelve to eighteen in
ches at the apex. Four of the cones are
much larger than their fellows, and stand
together in the centre of the group.

Many child goes astr.y, not because
there was want of prayer or virtue at home;
but simply because home lacks sunshine.
A child needs smiles as flowers need sum
beams. Children look little beyond the
present moment. If a thing pleases, they
are apt to seek it; if it displeases, they are
prone to avoid it. If home is the place
where faces are sour and words harsh, and
fault-finding is ever in the ascendant, they
will spend as many hours as possible else
where. Let every father and mother, then.
try to be happy. Let them talk to their
children, especially the little ones, in such
a way as to m axe them happy.

ANOTHER DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT PEo-

Crawford county, Ind, there is an immense
pile of large parallelogram sandstones, COW
ering about half an acre of ground, and it
is firmly believed that these were quarried
dressed and transported there by some an
cient race who once inhabited that region.
In addition to their having square sides and
being of great uniformity in width, there
is none of the same kind of stone found
elsewhere in all the country, except two
smaller piles near the large one. The lar
ger stones are thirteen feet long and about
four feet wide.
