Look to Your Whitewashing.

Good whitewash, well applied to fences,
rough siding, and the walls and ceilings of
buildings, has highly sanitary influence,
as well as being in the highest degree pre-
seryatiye in its effects. To be durable,
whitewash should be prepared in the follow
ing manner Take the very best stone
lime, and slack it in a close tub, covered
with cloth to preserve the steam. Salt
as much as can be dissolved in the water
used for stacking and reducing the lime
should be applied, and the whole mass care
fully strained and thickened with small
quantity of sand, the purer and finer the
better IT,
A few pounds of wheat -four mixed as
paste may be added, and will give greater
durability to the mass, especially when ap-
piled to the exterior surface of buildings.
With pure lime, properly Stacked and mixed
with twice its weight of fine sand and sifted
wood ashes, in equal proportions, almost
any color may be made by the addition of
pigments. Granite, slate, freestone and
other shades may be initiated, and without
any detriment to the durability of the wash.
This covering is often applied and with
good effect, to underpinning, stone fences,
roofs, and the walls of barns and other out
buildings. Probably the pure whitewash
is more healthy than the colored as its aka
lescent properties are superior, and when
uesed in cellars kitchens, and sleeping
apartments, produces salutary results
| No person who regards the health of his
family should neglect to apply coat of it
every Spring. Country places, especially
farm out-houses, fences, &C., are greatly
improved in appearance by an annual coat
of good whitewash, and will add to their
permanency much more than many would
imagine. 1t is cheap and easily applied, so
that neither expense nor labor can be
pleaded against it, ,,. ss d.

MARRIAGE.

Leigh Hunt concludes an essay on mar
riage as follows: "There is no one thing
more lovely in this life, more full of the di-
vinest courage, than young maiden from
her past life, from her happy childhood,
when she rambled over every field and moor
around her home; when mother anticipa-
ted her wants and soothed her little cares,
when brothers and sisters grew from merry
playmates to loving, trustful friends; from
Christmas gatherings and romps, the sum-
mer festivals in bower or garden, from the
rooms sanctified by the death of relatives;
from the secure backgrounds of her child
hood, and girlhood, and maidenhood, looks
out into the dark and unilluminated future,
away from all that, and yet unterrifed, un-
daunted, leans her far cheek upon her loy-
er's breast, and whispers, Dear heart! l
cannot see, but believe. The past was
beautiful, and the future can trust-snih

AverseDess to Learning Trades.

A ft bftg Eif4fTs4s4gF4t ~ 749EH 1Egg
There is the soundest common sense in
the following paragraph from the Aanafae-
turer- and Builder: Why is that there is such
a repugnancee on the part of parents to put
ting their sons to a trade? A skilled me-
chanic is an independent man. He has lit
orally his fortune in his own hands, Yet
foolish parents ambitious that their sons
should srise in the world, II as they say--are
more willing that they should study for a
profession with chances even of a moderate
success heavily against them, or run the risk
of spending their manhood in the ignoble
task of retailing dry goods, or of toiling la
boriously at the accountants desk, than
learn trade which would bring them manly
-. -.rssssSs-slsa health. and independence. In
point OF fact, the method they choose is the
least likely to achieve the advancement
aimed at; for the supply of "errand boys,''
dry-goods clerks is notoriously oyerstocked;
while the demand for really skilled mecanics
of every description, is as notoriously beyond
the supply. The crying need of the coun-
try to-day is for skilled labor; and that fa-
ther who neglects to provide his son with a
useful trade, does him a grievous wrong,
and runs the risk of helping by so much, to
increase the stock Of idle and dependent, if
not vicious, members of society. 1t is sta
ted in the report of the Prison Association,
that of 1896 prisoners confined in the peni-
tentiaries Of thirty States in 1867, seventy
seven per cent, or over 10000 of the NUM-
her, had never learned trade. The fact
conveys lesson of profound interest to
those who have in charge the training of
boys, and girls too, for the active duties of
life. @ygoH stTa .oisrmsl

. 1t is sad to spend long years in perfecting
an invention only to have it fall when put to

to have it announced in such an unfeeling

ExrREME DEPTH OF THE SEA.-Deep sea
soundings have at length become somewhat
reliable. The result is that the ocean, so far
as yet explored, is not half as deep as it was
formerly supposed to be. The greatest
known depth of the North Atlantic is about
twenty-five thousand feet, or nearly five
miles-not much less than the loftiest noun
tains on the globe. 1t is supposed, howev-
er, to be much deeper than this between the
Bahamas and the Grand Bank of New
foundland, but the sounding on which that
7supposition is founded is not quite satisfac-
tory.

DEATH OF THE QUEEN OF SWEDEN AND
NoRwAY.-A cable telegram announces the
death of Wilhemine Frederique iAlexan-
drine Anne Louise, Queen of Sweden and
Norway. She was born at the Hague on
the 9TH of August, 1928, and was the daugh-
ter of Frederick William, Prince of Holland,
and uncle of the present King of Holland.
The deceased Queen was, consequently, a
Princess of Orange and member of the
House of Nassau. She was married to the
King of Sweden and Norway, then the
Prince Royal, on the 10Th of June, 1850,
and on the 31st of October, 1851, gave birth
toa daughter, the Princess Louise Josephine
Eugene, who was married in July, 1869. to
the Prince. Royal of Denmark. This was
her only child, and unless the King marries
again and has issue Che is only forty-fve
years of age) the crown Of Sweden and Nor
way will, on his death, descend to his bro
ther, Oscar Frederick, Duke ofiOstrogothia,
or to one of his sons. In this connectionit it
may not be amiss to remark that all the
members of the reigning family of Sweden
and Norway are cousins Of the Emperor Ma
pdeon, the mother of the present King hay
ing been a daughter Of Prince Eugene Beau
harnois, afterwards Duke of Leutchtenburg.
