No BONES IN THE OCEAN. Mr.. jeffrey
has established the fact that bones disap-
pear in the ocean. By dredging it is COM
mon to bring up teeth, but rarely ever q
bone of any kind these however compact,
dissolve if exposed to the action OF the
water but little time. On the contrary,
teeth-which are not bones any more than
whales are fish-resist the destroying ac-
ton of the sea-water indefinitely 1t is,
therefore, a powerful solvent. Still the
popular opinion is that it is brine If
such were the case, the bottom of the sea
would, long ago, have been Swallowed by
immense accumulation of carcasses and
products of the vegetable kingdom con
stantly floating into them.
Dentlne, the peculiar material of which
teeth are formed, and the enamel covering
them, offer extraordinary resistance to
those chemical agences which resolve
other animal remains into nothingness.
Mounds in the West, tumuli in Europe
and Asia, which are belived to antedate
scared history for thousands of years, yield
up perfectly sound teeth, on which time
appears to have made no impression

Is That You, William ?"

The Ella Hughes is a little steamer
which, during the low water. runs from
Evansville to Puppy Creek Bar, above
Owensboro, where the Henderson packet
transfers her trip. The cabin of the Ella
Hughes has no state-rooms, berths being
ranged along either side of the cabin. A
few nights ago large number of passen-
gers was transferred to the little steamer,
and the cabin was unusually crowded
Among others was a Partingtonian old
lady with her son, a lively Ile-like chap,
named William. The old lady had a
lower berth, and William the berth i'm
mediately above.
A kentuckian from the interior came on
board, CARRYING under his belt numerous
drinks of moonshine distillation, and feel

Take white pine pitch, rosin, beeswax

half pound melt well together over slow
fire; stir quite thick, 80 that the parts may
not settle aad separate. This makes an ex-
cellent application for harness gals, cuts,
and sores Of all kinds.
Lime is of great efficacy in the eradica-
ton of sorrel from sour land, and its effects
are usually permanent. A writer says that
he once knew field containing one hun
dred and sixty-six acres, which formerly
grew nothing but heath. A good dressing
of lime was applied on the surface of the
sward, which had nearly doubled the value.
A correspondent says that for removing
knots from plum trees, he takes a paint
brush, dips it in spirits of turpentine and
thoroughly saturates the knot, being care
ful not to touch the tree except in the dis
eased parts. The turpentine kills the ex-
cresence, and the trees put out healthy
branches below it. He burns all branches
of diseased trees removed in pruning.
What is the value of old plaster taken
from the walls of houses, used as a top
dressing? Old plaster contains lime and
hair, both of which are useful upon the
land; bes ides, considerable portion OF
plaster of paris is often present. To use it
as top dressing on grass, it should be
beaten small and run through coarse sieve.
In fact this should be done at any rate If
half its value Is to be gained.

Sleepless people-and they are many in
America-should court the sun. The very
worst soporific is laudanum, and the very
best, sunshine. Therefore, it is very plain
that poor sleepers should pass as many
hours as possible in sunshine, aud as few as
possible in the shade, Many women are
martyrs, and yet they do not know it. They
shut the sunshine out Of their houses and
their hearts, they wear wells, they carry par
asols, they do all possible things to keep off
the subtlest and yet most potent influence
which is intended to give them strength,
beauty and cheerfulness. Is it not time
to change all this. and so get color and
roses in our pale cheeks, strength i'll our
weak backs and courage in our timid souls.
The women of America are pale and dell
cate, they may be blooming and strong ana
the sunlight will be a potent aid in this
trans formation.

1t IS beyond doubt that cleanliness has
much TO do with the flavor of pork. The
filthy state it which many fattening hogs
are kept has tendency not only to give Il
rank lastc to the meat, but to render II
positively unwholesome. very common
mode OF penning hogs at this season is in
rail pen, without protection from the
weather. The consequence is that such
pens are not fit to keep a living animal in;
wet and filthy, cold and uncomfortable as
they are, hogs will not take on fat, and
great proportion Of the food is wasted
While they are kept in them, while the filth,
a considerable amount of which the hogs
will consume, must be detrimental to their
health, and to the health of those who eat
their flesh. 1t is not only safer but more
economical to give fattening animals good
shelter and dry beds and litter, and keep
them quite clean. The labor w,ll be well
repaid.

An Unpublished Song.

There $ dew for the flow'ret,
And honey for the bee,
And bowers for the wild bird,
And love for you and me-
There are tears for the many,
And pleasures for the few,
But let the world pass on, dear,
There's love for me and You!
There is Care that will not leave Us,
And Pain that will not fee;
But on our hearts unatered
Sits Love tween you and me
Our love, it ne'er was reckoned,
Yet good it is and true;
It's half the world to me, dear,
It's all the world TO you!

AN ARAB PRINCE ON THE WIFE QUESTION,
"A writer in the Cornhill Magazine has had
an interview with an Arab Prince, and gives
the following as his views on the woman ques-
ton:
English women think of themselves always
think of themselves, think very much of them
selves, think very little of their husbands: so
they are disobedient, seifwied, do what they
like, and will not do what their husbands like:
but Arab women think more of their husbands
than themselves; they live to please their hus
bands; they are obedient they are much bet
ter than English women man may do with
them just as he pleases. Suppose she should
disobey him-what does he do? He saws to
her, by Allah | will leave you.' And if
she dlsobeyed him three times, and he SAYS
that three times, she is no longer his wife, she
must go back to her fathers house. But sup
pose an Englishman marry woman, and she
proves to have very bad temper and disobey
him always; a very hot tongue, and scold al !
day and night too; lead him devil of life
make him very much with trouble, make him
wish to kill hmself-what can he do? He can
do nothing he must keep her, and must
not take any other woman to wife to comfort
him. All the Arab custom is better than the
English custom; and the Arab women are bet
ter tor the man than the English women. I
