1t IL SO much the fashion nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of adj
dress. The mass of people, especially the young,
demand stories TO such a degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME, in addition to the usual variety of that
paper, have engaged corps of frst-class writers,
among whom are Jean 1ngelow, Edward Eg-
gleston, Mary f. Dodge, Louisa M. Alcott, Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott SpoGord, Rose Terry, Maria r.
Oakley, Lucia G.. Kunke, and many others, who
furnish to this journal the best original stories,
OF the purest character and highest grade--thus
conveying much instruction IN pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains n large amount of first-class
reading, editorials, literature, art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper
the gardener, the farmer; capital department
for children and youth the news of the day.
fnancialiand market reports, ETC. Its engrayings
costing over $4,000 year, are of high order OF
merit, unsurpassed by any illustrated paper in
he world. Altogether HEART II AND HOME
is such journal as may be safely and very pro-
fitably taken into any family. 1t is supplied at
the low rate OF $3 year; four copies for $ll;
and ten or more copies for -. so each.

"eood for This Date Only"

The railway ticket agents are
bothering their brains over the
question whether passengers may
clay over" and resume their journey
at pleasure, or whether, when they
have once quilted the cars, they have
forfeited their tickets for the remain
der of their journey. The courts
have already decided that a man
who buys a ticket, as it we're, between
Boston and New York, has the un-
doubted right to stop at any place
on the road and to resume his
journey at his own leisure, without
buying another ticket. The legend,
"Good for this date only" has no
value in the eyes of any save rail
way officials, and the law has decid-
ed that any action taken by condue-
tors with view to enforcing the I'M
piled contract is illegal. There the
matter should be allowed to rest.
The public are satisfied SO to leave
it, and the railway companies ought
not to complain. If a man buys a
ticket to Boston, and the company
receive the money for it, there is no
reason why they should refuse to
carry him thither, or why they
snonld wish to force him to do it to
suit their convenience instead of his
own,

The experiment is easily made by
simply pressing a spiral shelf com
mon in collections, over the cere-
brum of either ear. If a large shell.
the sound is very much like afar-of
cataract. Now what causes it? Ev-
cry muscle in the body is always in
state of tension. Some are more
on the stretch than others, particular
ly those Of the fingers 1t is conced-
ed that the vibration of the fibres of
those in the fingers being communi-
Gated to the shell, it propagates and
!ntensifes it, as the hollow body of
a violin does the vibration of its
strings, and thus the acoustic nerve
receives the sonorous impressions.
Muscles Of the leg below the knee
are said to vibrate in the same way,
and if conducted to the ear produce
the same result.
