DELIGHTS OF SARATOGA.-A Sara
tOga letter euumcrateS Il few Of the
luXuries to be enjoyed for a con-
sideration at that delightful place:
AT the table YOU are given rusty
knives and soiled tablecloths; your
beef f-steak is taken from the horns Of
the old COW that died for you: the
potatoes have been cooked for an
hour or two, your fruit, if you have
any, is wilted or decayed; your nap
kins are wet, which suggests that
they have done service on other
mouths less clean, perhaps; your
waiter is impudent, and eager to be
corrupted. and is not worth much
without; and your bills are large.
In the evening you hop and jump
about in hot room to the tune of
poor music, pick up a dozen hand
kerchiefs for ladies who drop them
on purpose; talk sweet nonsense into
the ears of silly girls between the
sets. or sweat yourself into feeble
ness in the corner, and at last go to
your room, meagerly furnished and
desolate. wondering where the COM
pensation comes in for all the eX
pense. the fatigue and the worry.
Delightful experience, isn't it?

Men do occasionally become so exas-
perated with their wives that they do all
sorts of absurd things. Occasionally
they poison them; more commonly they
worry them to death but at times they
go by the more straight and easy road,
and kill them outright by violence, and
thus free their bodies, minds, and con-
sciences from a heavy load. In illus
tration of the latter solution of the ques-
ton how to get rid of wife may be
brought to bear the action of Mr.. John
Cook, of White Pigeon, Ind, who a few
days ago, rose in the morning and asked
his wife to prepare breakfast. He went
out of the house, but when he returned
found that his dear one had paid no heed
to his request, but, had persisted in ly-
ing abed. He casually threw pail of
water over her, and returned to his
work. Again he came home and found
her yet wrapped in sweetest slumber.
He then knew that there was no vio-
lence to his wife which would oc-
casion such utter anguish to her as his
shooting himself, so he loaded gun and
deliberately blew out his brains. Sure
ly this was terrible revenge to take
on his wife. Thus did Mr.. Cook get
rid of his wife; he did not kill her, and
so was saved from the disgusting and
treacherous formality of trial. He did
his best, and one can say no more even
of his mother in-law.

The Interior of the Earth.

We suppose that Professor David
Forbes, of England, knows as much
about the interior of the earth as any
man living. In late lecture he insist
ed that all the objections brought by
geology, mathematics, or astronomy,
against the old theory that the earth is
a molten mass surrounded by crust
about fifty miles thick, are quite unite
nable. He would have us believe, while
the outer layer of melted matter, just
below the earth's crust, may be a kind
of CLASSY Stag, that, not far below this
layer, salamander bent on discovery
would find the pure molten metals, of
which the heaviest-gold, platinum, etc.
would be at the earth's centre. Very
likely the mass of the earth is molten
iron; and this view is quite corrobora-
ted by the fact that the broken frag-
ments of some disrupted world, which,
in the form of aerolites, are continually
falling from the sky, are often metallic
iron. But what tantalizing thought
it is, that just under our feet are count
less tons of the precious metals, only
waiting for John Whopper to let us
know the route by which he passed
through to China.-SeriJner's for May.

A Mud Volcano,

While returning by new route to
our camp, dull, laundering sounds, which
General Washburn likened to frequent
discharges of distant mortar, broke
upon our ears. We followed their di-
rection, and found them to proceed from
mud volcano, which occupied the slope
of small hill, embowered in a grove OF
pines. Dense volumes of steam shot in
to the air with each report, through a
crater thirty feet in diameter. The re-
ports, though irregular, occurred as
often as every five seconds, and could be
distinctly heard half a mile. Each al
ternate report shook the ground a dis
tance of two hundred yards or more, and
the massive jets of vapor which ac-
companied them burst forth like the
smoke of burning gunpowder. 1t was
impossible to stand on the edge of that
side of the crater opposite the wind, and
one of our party, Mr.. Hedges, was re-
warded for his temerity in venturing toe
near the rim, by being thrown by the
force of the volume of steam violently
down the outside of the crater. From
hasty views, afforded by occasional gusts
of wind, we could see at depth of sixty
feet the regurgitating contents" 1HC

Refuse and Waste.

Turning to the more miscellaneous
items which afford instances of the use
of waste, we may mention vulcanized
India-rubber. At one time it was
thought the process of vulcanization-
in other words. treating the rubber with
sulphur-prevented the possibility of its
being used again. 1t has been discov-
cred, however, that it can be reduced to
plastic state and remanufactured.
About seventy per cent. of the waste
material is mixed with thirty per cent.
of raw gum, and the resultant rubber is
as good as that made wholly of fresh
gum. This discovery tended to cheaper
this material very much, as at the time
it was made the refuse material was
selling for els ton, while the pure gum
sold at prices varying from el5O to
e200 ton.
The sawdust of various woods is now
tnrned to good purposes-that of box
wood is used for cleaning jewelry, while
mahogany sawdust is employed for
smoking fish. Birch and rosewood
sawdust is used by furriers in cleansing
furs. In Paris common sawdust is very
ingeniously utilized. A method has
been discovered of forcing this material
into solid moulds by the aid of heat and
the hydraulic press. The sawdust thus
pressed is said to present a brilliant sur
face, which possesses great durability.
Turning our attention from the vege-
table to the animal kingdom, we may
add that beautiful and nutritious Jelly
is made from ivory-dust, which is very
strengthening to invalids. This is the
l.,, Df ho ,1o 41oA =
in England but the flesh of this animal
is consumed by the natives of Africa,
and Gordon Cumming says that ele-
plants feet are very great delicacy.
In the search that has been made for a
new paper-making material there has
been some success. Good paper is now
made from esparto, wild grass growing
in Spain and the Barbary coast in large
quantities. 1t certainly makes very
good paper, and might take the pressure
off rags, which are still rather scarce and
dear. 1t was imagined that when the
trade was opened with China the teem-
ing population of that great empire,
dressing as it does in cotton goods to
large extent, would be able to yield us a
plentiful supply of old rags. Those who
counted upon this source of supply
knew but little of the economical habits
of the Chinese. Rags were not likely to
be wasted in that country. On inquiry,
it turned out that the material in ques-
ton was used up-tor what purpose does
our reader think?-for making the thick
soles for boots AS may be imagined,
all waste paper is sorted-the clean,
such as the shavings and clippings from
book-binders and envelope makers, is
worked up afresh as white paper. The
fluff of cotton that is given off during
the course of manufacture is, however,
available for paper-making, and for the
manufacture of coarse sheets and bed
covers.-Ca CaSSelps Magazine.

Among the recent English inventions
is new form of steam-engine, involving
the following peculiarities of construc-
ton. In disc or wheel, mounted on a
hollow fixed shaft, are cylindrical cham
bers, in which weighted pistons work
steam-tight. The chambers are placed
in line with each other, on opposite
sides of the shaft. and the pistons oppo-
site each other are connected together in
pairs by connecting-rods. In the hollow
shaft openings are formed, to conduct
the steam to and away from other open
ings in the disc communicating with
the chambers, so that the steam may be
alternately admitted to and conducted
away from them, and in doing SO move
the pistons in pairs, and thus, one OF
each pair may be moved outwards to-
wards the periphery of the disc, and the
other inwards towards the axis or shaft,
whereby the pistons are caused to give
rotary motion to the disc.

THE SMACK AT SCHOOL.

A district school, not far away,
mid Berkshire hills, one winters day,
Was humming with its wonted noise
OF three score mingled girls and boys,
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent.
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on a copy-book,
Rose sharp and clear rousing smack,
As 'twere a battery of bliss
Let off in one tremendous kiss
"What's that ?" the startled master cries.
"That, thir," little imp replies,
"Was William Willith, If you pleathe--
/ saw him kith Thuthanna Peather ~
With frown to make statue thrill,
The master thundered, Hither, WHIP
Like wretch o'ertaken in his track,
With stolen chattels on his back,
Will hung his head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
A great, green, bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good-natured fun.
With smile suppressed and birch upraised
The threatener taltered, "I'm amazed
That you, my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty of an act so rude
Before the whole set school to boot
What evil genius put you to't?"
"'Twas she, herself, cir ]" sobbed the lad;
az didn't mean to be so bad;
But when Susannah shook her curls,
And whispered was 'fraid of girls,
And dursan't kiss baby's doll,

But up and kissed her on the spot.

A momentous question to large class
of people has been broached in England
being nothing more nor less than the
proper size of bottle. 1t is said that
when person purchases pint OF wine
or quart of brandy he really receives
less quantity put up in bottle, which
by sufferance goes by the name of pint
or quart bottle, as the case may be. 1t
is claimed that bottle of wine ought
to be some fixed quantity, say an i'm
perial pint, and that the users of bottles
should be protected in their rights.
There is certainly grievance here, and
it is to be hoped that the battle of bot
ties will go on until their size is proper
ly adjusted, though it will probably be
difficult to satisfy every body with any
uniform capacity.

Who, when his brother asks for bread
would give him serpent? Yet how
often when the sick ask for medicine,
they receive poison. Mercury, iodine,
strychnine and prussic acid, are pre-
scribed daily, and the larger the dose
the more heroic the practice! Shun all
deadly minerals, and con neentrated vege-
table poisons. Let DIR. WALKERS VIM

The Successful Physician.

DIR. J. Walker is achieving an eminent
distinction as a benefactor of his species.
Some stigmatize all patent medicines
But DIR. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters have the endorsement of the
medical profession. Unable to speak
from analysis of properties, the editor
can speak freely from experience, which
is, after ALL the best test. He can con-
scientiously and cordially recommend the
medicine, because he knows he has
found great benefit from its use. For
nearly twenty years he has suffered from
throat disease, attended with derange-
ment of the stomach. And though the
disease has become chronic, he has al
ready obtained great relief from this
remedy.
An old and skillful physician left at
death large volume, carefully sealed,
and supposed to contain fund of med
ical knowledge. On being opened, it
was found to contain only this simple
advice. "Keep your head cool, your
feet warm and your bowels open." But
there is whole volume of materia med
lea in this maxim. And this medicine
acts as a mild cathartic, leaving the sys-
tenn in healthy condition.
r. H. Mcdonald, an experienced drug
gist, associated with DIR. Walker, is at
once man of thorough integrity and
practical knowledge of the art of COM
pounding medicine, and an efficient
manager. They have valuable medi-
cine, and they know how to bring it to
the knowledge of the public by judicious
advertising. And as Good Samaritans,
we are happy to give them our hearty
endorsement, and bid them God-speed
in relieving the ills to which flesh is heir

If all the strength is not extracted at the

needed. The coffee may be dark, even
black, when strong, but it must be clear.
Each kind of coffee must be roasted
separately, and it is better to roast it
day or two before using.
