Notable Houses in New York.

A New York correspondent thus
chats about prominent residences in
that city: Mr.. Fish has q large land
ed estate, but being Of an elevated
turn, he has escaped the dangers Of
fashionable society. have frequent
ly passed his residence, and have no.
ticed it as an illustration of the rela-
tive value Of land in city and country.
The size of Mr.. Fish's grounds is often
noticed, and, indeed, they are Of very
unusual extent. 1t is often remarked
by those who pass, "Why, the house
has three lots" each lot being twen-
ty-five feet front by one hundred feet
deep. There are not dozen houses in
this city having that extent; at least
below the Central Park. Now, to
show the contrast, / may refer to al
most any rural town and ask, do they
make as much talk there about front
Of seventy-fve feet? But in this
city a man is lucky If he has 8 front
Of twenty-five feet. Among the rare
exceptions from these narrow limits
is the mansion in Lafayette Place,
occupied by VIM. B. Astor, which is
nearly forty feet in breadth, while
James Lenox's residence on Fifth
avenue has q front Of seventy-five
feet.
This is the largest private house in
the city, but, in fact, it looks like a
pair of houses, for there are two broad
entrances. This mansion presents a
striking contrast between its size and
that of the family which it shelters.
The latter consists Of two unmarried,
brother and sister, and their servants.
It contains, however. that valuable
library which its owner has been
gathering al his life, and also his
picture gallery, both Of which will
be at his death conveyed to that pub
lie institution which he has planned
and for which he is now working.
Another spacious front on Fifth av-I
enue is John Jacob Astor's place,
which largely exceeds that Of his
father to which I have referred. The
house is about forty feet broad, and
the grounds have front of one hun
dred feet, OF four lots. This is the
most valuable plot used for q family
purposein the city, being worth one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars. A. T. Stewart has a front of
seventy-five feet on the Fifth avenue,
but as this includes a corner it is
equivalent to a quarter additional.
Here he is building that marble palace
which it will require three years to
finish, and which will be the most
elegant and costly dwelling on the
western hemisphere.

Judging SOil by Timber.

Almost any one knows that the
quality of soil may in great measure
be determined by the timber which
grows upon it, but of the exact nature
indicated by the primitive trees peo-
pie are not SO well posted, Mr.. ]. B.
Smith, of Patmos, Ohio, writes to the
New York Farmers Club of this mat
ter and says that white oak land is
poor; that red oak and soft maple
also indicates poor land; that shell
bark mostly grows in cold, wet land I;
that fiat beach and sugar lands are
good for summer crops and grass, but
not Cor wheat; that rolling beach and
sugar lands where large poplar and
black walnut abound are fine grazing
lands, and produce, when new, large
crops of all kinds of grain, except
where it is winter killed; that large
white oaks and chesnut growing to-
gether, and black oak and hickory
indicates loose subsoil and that
land where the water soon sinks in
to the subsoil are much the most val
liable for grain that soil that will
raise large crops of all kinds of
grain and then clover and timothy,
and after they run out will come in
with green grass and white clover, is
the best.

BRAIN MEIGHT.

An eminent German professor once
assumed that, as a certain size and
mass Of brain Is essential for the exer-
else of the mental faculties, therefore,
all the human race must be furnished
with an equal amount of brains.
This truly TeutOnie theory has, since,
however, been effectually disputed.
An elaborate paper was read not very
long ago, before the Royal Society, in
which the existing avidence as to. the
weight of the brain among the differ
ent nations was analyZed. The aver
age brain weight Of the English is
stated to be 47.50 ounces for the
French, Ass; for the Germans, 42. SO;
but there are discrepancies in the re-
suit of different observers, some giving
a greater average than this TO the Ger
mans. The Italians, Lapps, Swedes,
Frisans, and Dutch come into the
same category with the English.
Among the Asiatic races, the Vedahs,
Of Ceylon, and the people of HindOo-
stan, give mean of over 42.11 ounces.
The skulls of the Mussulmen afford a
slightly increased average of BRAIN
weight over those of the HindOOs.
The skulls Of male Khonds-one of
the unsuestioned aboriginal races Of
India-show brain-weight of only
1887 ounces. The general average Of
Asiatic table shows a diminution of
more than two ounces when compared
with the Europeans. The general
mean of African races is less than that
of Europeans races, although there are
great differences the Caffre rising
high, and the Bushman sinking low
in the scale. The average of the
whole of the aboriginal American "a
ces reaches 44.73 ounces, which is 2.
II ounces less than that Of the Euro
pean races. The Australian races
show a brain-weight one-ninth less
than that Of the general average Of
The Malays, and others
of the Oceanic races, who migrated
boldly, for commercial purposes, over
the North and South Pacific Ocean,
and occupy the islands, show a tOler-
able high average Of brain-weight
and, on arriving at this section, we
return, in some measure, to the large
brain-weight of Europeans.-Oace a

"Just about the close Of that long

the levee, and there lay the City of

she was, putting and painting, after
her long pilgrimage through the ice.

And then came a pang, right away,
because I should have to instruct
empty benches, sure; the youngsters
would all be off welcoming the first
steamboat of the season. You can
imagine how surprised I was when I
opened the door and saw half the
benches full! My gratitude was free,
large, and sincere. I resolved that
they should not find me unapprecia-
ative. I said:

proud it makes me to see you here, nor
what renewed assurance it gives me

Ietters of Recommendation.

A gentleman advertised for boy to
assist him in his office, and nearly
fifty applicants presented themselves
to him. Out of the whole number he
in short time selected one, and dis
missed the rest.
az should like to know" said a
friend, "on what ground you selected
that boy, who had not a single recon-
mondation."
"You are Mistaken said the gen.
tleman, "he had great many. He
wiped his feet when he came in, and
closed the door after him, showing
that he was careful. He gave up his
seat instantly to that lame old man,
showing that he was kind and
thoughtful. He took offhis cap when
he came in, and answered my ques-
tons promptlyland respectfully, show
ing he was, polite and gentlemanly.
He picked up the book which I had
purposely laid upon the floor, and re-
placed it on the table while all the
rest stepped over it or, showed it aside;
and he waited quietly for his turn, in
stead of pushing and crowding show
ing that he was honest and orderly.
When I talked with him, noticed
that his clothes were carefully brush
ed, his hair in nice order, and his
teeth as white as milk; and when
he wrote his name. noticed that his
finger nails were clean, instead of be-
ing tipped with jet, like that hand
some little fellows in the blue jacket.
Don't you call those things letters Of
recommendation I do, and 1 would
give more for what 1 can tell about a
boy by using my eyes ten minutes,
than all the fine letters he can bring
me.-L4ttLe Corporal.

The public parks of New York city,
including squares and places, aretwen-
ty-three in number, with an aggre-
gate area of ,0074 acres. The Central

Remedies for Poison br wv.

Inelosed I send you a few OF the
remedies which I have used for cur
ing the effects of poisOnivy Ist Take
white ash bark (the nearer the root
the stronger), and place in kettle
with enough cold water to cover, and
boil till thick as molasses. Apply as
wash, very mild. 1t is very good,
but will stain any clothing with
which it comes in contact. No more
pain Is produced from its use than
from that Of cold water.
2. Buttermilk and onions (pound-
ed) are very good, especially wheu
the body has become inhamed and
swollen.
8. Take strong cider vinegar and
dissolve as much salt in it as it viii
dissolve, and apply as q wash. 1t kills
It quicker than either Of the above,
but is very harsh.
4. The herb lobelia, I prepare and
usepthe same as the first spoken Of /;
it is very harsh.
8. Take boiling hot water and slap
it on with small cloth.
These are allvery good, as know
by experience; but for myself I
should prefer the last one. Rubbing
the entire body with soft soap as soon
as you find yourself poisoned, will
prevent its spreading any further;
the soap should be rubbed to q lather
and allowed to dry On.-H. Nort0dlk.

Cnrious and Scientific,

Glycerine and litharge, stirred to a
paste, harden rapidly, and make q
suitable cement for iron upon iron,
for two stone surfaces, and especially
for fastening iron to stone. The ee-
ment is insoluble, and is not at
tackled by strong acid.
The distribution of carbolic acid
throughout the air Of the room in
which patients are treated, so as to
create what is known as q earbolized
atmosphere, has been found to be
productive Of great benefit, in India
and Egypt, in the treatment of such
diseases as ophthalmia and variola.
DIR. Hartford, professor ofAnatomy,
in MelbOrne University, believes that
he has found an antidOte to the bites
of poisonous reptiles, in ejecting am
monia into the blood of animals Bit
ten. His experiments with dogs,
rabbits, fowls and men have proved
very successful,
1t Is said kerosene applied by means
ofa mOistened cloth to stoves will ef-
fectually keep them from rusting dur
ing the summer. 1t is also an excel
lent material to apply to all iron uten-
sils used about the farm. Give plows,
eultiuatOrs and the like a coating be-
fore they are put away in the fall.
The mean depth of the North ATTAIN
tic ocean, which is stated by Maury
to be II, 500 feet, has been reduced by
more elaborate soundings to 5000,
and it is probable, according to Keith
johnson, the geographer. that this
average depth is even greater than
will be verified by future measure
ments.
A patent perpetual tobacco pipe has
has been made by a gentleman in
Missouri, who doubtless has often
been troubled to light his pipe in a
high wind. His invention consist in
making the bowl reversible, so that
when a chage of tobacco is nearly
smoked out the bowl may be charged
again and then reversed, so that the
old fire may ignite the new charge.
The discovery Of existing glaciers
in Northern California leads the
academy to remark that the Alpine
Club may now seek new laurels in
the Rocky Mountains. The glacier
discovered by Mr.. Clarence King,
near Mount Shasta, in September last,
is 4, 600 feet wide, and more than three
miles long but there is one still larg-
er on Mount Rainer, Washington
Territory, five miles broad on the
mountains and ten miles in length.
The supposition that the destrue-
ton Of forests reduces the annual fall
Of rain in a country is characterized
as fallacy by DR.. Pesehel, an able
German writer on comparative geog-
raphy. His dissent from the ordina-
ry view is worthy Of remark; but as
the theory which he opposes is re-
garded as sound by large majority
of those best qualified to judge up
on the subject, we are disposed to
think his opinion the result Of a hasty
generalization rather than of careful
study,

There are two ways stunning" peo-
pie by an exhibition of taste, and we
see them both illustrated daily at Sar-
atoga. The plebeian "stuns' with
positive coiors, yellow, black, blue,
and green with powdered hair, and
q very steeple of hair, q la Pompa-
dOuE, projecting nom the apex of the
head. They walk or hitch along
with shoulders bent forward, the up
per portion of the arms as dead and
useless as if made of gutta percha,
while the backs of their wrists become
dangling right angles, swinging in
the air, like Fourth of July pin
wheels. There Is another type Of wo-
manhood in Congress Hall-a patri-
clan type, which comes from cultiva-
ton and generations of good blood.
She wears no bright colors. Her eyes
delight in subtitle symphonies-sym-
phonies in music and colors, too.
She does not wear yellow, and blue,
and scarlet, but she mingles them alto
gether, as the painter mingles his
paints on his palette, and produces a
warm symphony in brown or drab,
perhaps the lovely pongee. If she
wears blue, she puts white in it, max
ing it look like the sky, or darkens it
to the blue of the ocean. Ifshe wears
scarlet she tones it down with blue
till it becomes maroon. If she wears
chrome yellow, she tones it down
with white till it becomes straw color.
Always q symphony. Her shoulders
are proudly erect, like the Venus de
Medici, and her arms rests in natures
attitude, like the arms of Thorwald-
sens graces, palms to the front. Her
hair is gracefully dressed, high on
the head, like the Venus of Canova,
to show the beautiful curves Of the
neck, and are not stuffed or swelled
into a clumsy globe, to hang like a
dead weight down upon the back.
There is a young lady at Congress
Hall so graceful, so very stylish, and
yet so plain in her attire, that when
she walks across the room she is the
center of attraction. I venture to say
that she knows more OF art, ofsculpt-
ure, and Of the true beauty of form,
and style, and color, than all the Pile
beian girls in the house. [Sdrato9G

HOW TO GIVE CHILDREN AN APPE-
TITE.-Give children an abundance
Of outdoor exercise, fun, and frolie,
make them regular in their habits;
and feed them only upon plain, nour-
ishing food. and they viii seldom, if
ever, complain of q lack Of appetite.
But keep them Overtasked in school,
confined closely to the house the rest
Of the time, frowning down every at
tempt at play feed them upon rich
or high seasoned food, candies, nuts,
ETC., allow them to eat between meals
and late in the evening, and you need
not expect them to have good appe-
tites. On the contrary, you may ex-
peet they will be pale, weak, and
sickly.
Don't cram them with food when
they don't want, or have no appetite
for it-sueh course is slow murder.
If they have no appetites, encourage,
and IL need be, command them to
take exercise in the open air. Don't
allow them to study too much, and
especially keep them from reading
exciting light literature. In adj
dition to securing exercise for the
children as above, change their diet
somewhat; especially II they have
been eating fine flour, change to coarse
or Graham -four.
Sickness is the most expensive nui-
sance on the face Of the globe. There
may be instances where It makes peo-
pie or children better, but generally
it makes them selfish, sad, misan-
thropic, nervous, mean, and miser-
able. The best Way to make children
happy and good is to keep them well.

One of those gentle and breezy Sar-
atoga scolds remarks "Now there is
no more excuse for putting oil on your
hair than there is for putting it on
your hands. You people, 1 say, who
grease your hair arejust as barbarous
as the Cammanche Indian who grease
his face! A gentleman will never fall
in love with soiled woman. She
must be sweet. Have you never, in
so-called polite society, met a young
lady whose face would be improved
by a good square washing? Now, this
is plain, homely talk. European
Court circles do more bathing, ten to
one, than the bOlErgeoise. Indeed, in
Russia-in Moscow, where you see
the sweetest blonds women in the
world-they have fonr bath houses,
each as large es the Fifth Avenue Ho.
tel Once daily, every man and wo-
man of partrican blood plunges all
over, head and sll, under pure, spark
