TEA AND KISSES Howard Glyndon in
one of her gossipy articles, thus writes
about two charming things, babies and
kisses:
CT have already alluded to the fact
that there is one thing which you may
be morally certain an American woman
will do when she sits down to- table, in
any cline, at any hour, and under any
circumstances, and that is, if she be d
free agent, she will or der cup of tea.
But, before going any further, I wish to
qualify this sweeping assertion. She is
almost equally as likely to kiss baby at
first sight. Now, kissing a baby means,
with most women, almost devouring it
bodily. Strangely enough, such kisses
as men give only to women, women give
only to babies. No lover, and 10 hus
band in the world can throw one of them
in SO fine frenzy as the sight of small,
roly. poly mass of pink and white flesh,
done up in embroidered flannel, tucked
nansook, and pink ribbons But the
charm gradually wears away after the
child is year old and am not able to
certify whether it's first freshness lasts
over that time in the mans case"

THE ARAB HORSE AT HoME.-An
Egyptian correspondent of the Spirit OF
the Times says: Arab horses rarely ex
coed fourteen and half hands high,
though some are fifteen, and very few
exceed even that. They have wonderful
endurance, not much speed except for
short distances, are extremely docile and
easily managed. The stations are never
altered, are exceedingly compact in form,
with splendid heads and necks, beautiful
rominent eyes, round bodies and fine
oins, Their legs and hoofs are harder
and more durable than the thoroughbred
horses Of England and America. They
are not good trotters; their principle gait
IS the walk or canter, and they are fire.

The SIZE OF THE UNIoN.-It has been
said that there is only one man who has
a correct idea of the size Of the United
States, and he is ms who drove yoke
of oxen in 1950.51 from Maine to Califor
MIA. However this may be, the newspa
per remark that "few people realize the
immensely of our territorial area" is true.
There are in our great West eleven Ter
rltories, two or three of which are twice
or three times as large as all New Eng
land and it is small Territory that is
not at least ten times as large as Massa-
chusetts Coloradotis thirteen times as lage
Massachusetts,, while Dakota and Arizo
IA are half as large again az Colorado.
The eleven Territories, as accurately as
can at present be ascertained, contain
over one billion and quarter of acres
O,O36, 1886, 919), exceeding by nearly two
hundred thousand square miles the ag-
gregate territory Of all the present al
mitted Stases of the Union The Terri
tory of Alaska, containing 369,529,6OO
acres, is included in the number of acres
stated.

FARMERS COLUMN.
KILLING LICE WITH LARD.

Our correspondent, Mr.. Fullington, Of
Michigan, writes on this subject in anoth'
er place, and we would say in relation to
these disagreeable vermin that if the
skin of the animal is kept in its natural
healthy condition, lice cannot exist. Our
correspondent is mistaken in supposing
that lard applied to animals is eff cacious
in every instant. IF $50 perSistently brush.
ed in, as to reach every part OF the body
of the vermin, snd kept sufficiently warm
to run, il will undoubtedly xiii those ii
covers but unless the animal is made
10 thrive the eggs will continue to hatch.
Kerosene lightly brushed into the hair
of an animal is not detrimental. Anguin.
tum should be applied to the hair along
the spine and ABOUT the ears.
We should have no hesitation in using
kerosene brushed in strongly, even, to the
parts effected by the vermin; but if the
animal is in so low condition that the
vitality is not sufficient to reopen the
pores, closed with oil, or any other like
substance, it would be as fatal to the pa
tient as the lice themselves. Neither
kerosene, nor anguintum are dangerous if
properly applied. And we might say the
same for carbolic acid.

FACTS FOR THE SINGLE.

A French philosopher has lately
brought to light some curious social sta
tistics, compiled from the records of
eleven years in France, Belgium and Hol
land, relative to the longevity of married
and 81 2gle men, which farnish fresh
proofs Of the danger of living. It APP
pears thal married men between the az S
Of twenty-five and thirty years are far
more apt to live than unmarried men, the
ratio of death being, in their favor, as
fur to ten and half in every thousand
persons Here is powerful argument
for early marriages if the law of self-pres-
ervation becomes their advocate but a
little further Developments Of the rec
Ords shows that at the same age widow
ers die at the rate Of twonF y-two in every
thousand, being twice as perishable as
their unmarried brethren. When the
age advances to between thirty and thr.

versed. Married men die at the rate oil
eleven, and single mn only five in every
thousand, the latter nearly recovering
the ground lost in the previous semi-de-
cade Unfortunate widowers, however
are stll 1T disadvantage, dying at the

A MANUSCRIPTS CHANCES

Correspondent Springfield Republican.
1t is by no means so easy to get man
uscript printed as some unsophisticated
authors fancy, for it has to run the gaunt-
let of those terrible reasons known as
READERS" Appleton's etc, have several
regular readers, besides several others,
eminent in their various professions,
whom they consult in relation to works OF
their several specietes. Their junction
is to give full consideration to, and their
best advice upon, all matters submitted
to them
For this they receive salary; and it
would be considered on both sides a
breach of trust If they accepted any com
pensatlon whatever from the author for
their works In fact, unless their are
special reasons to the contrary, the con-
scientious "reader" prefers never to see
the author in relation to the hook while
the question is pending.
When he has read the manuscript he
writes an opinion. which he returns to
the firm, sometimes expressed in few
words, sometimes in an elaborate analysis
and criticism. But in any case he never
recommends book except after careful
These opinions are care

consider that they have materials suffi
cient for decision in the case.

AGRICULTURAL ORIGIN OF WEIGHTS
The origin of all weights and measure
in England was derived from grain OF
wheat. According TO the old statute
thiety-two grains well dried, and gather
ed from the middle ofthe ear were to
make one pennyweight, twenty penny
weights one ounce. 1t has afterwards
thought better to divide the penny
weight into twenty four equal paris, call
ed grains. William the Conqueror intro
duced into England what WAS called Troy
weight, from Troyes, a town in the prov
ince Of Champagne, France. The Eng
lish were dissatisfied with this weight,
because the pound was in use at that time
IN England. Hence arose the term avor-
dupois, whcch was a medium between the
French and English weights.

SOWING DIFFERENT GRAINS TOGETHER
The Toronto Globe says of late years
the attention Of several experimental
English agricultrrtsts Gas well as some
Canadian has been turned towards the
possibility of increasing the yield per
acre of various cereals, when soWn to-
gether in the same field. There seems
little doubt that much larger yield can
thus be obtained. Instances are quoted
where peas, oats, barley and wheat, all
sown together, have produced very
large yield. This plan has especially
been successful where various sorts Of
wheat alone have been sown together, or,
as we should term it, mixed sample Of
seed. One man mentions yield Of mp
wards ofseventy bushels of this mixed
seed (wheat) per acre, and this great
crop was composed OF four different sorts
Of wheat. Tie theory is that me sorts
are subject to particular enemies, Bheth-
er of seOsOn or insects; whilst others are
not influenced by the same, at the same
time, or escape altogether; Sd between
the various chances which affect be DIFF
terent plants, crop natures. Our i'm
proved flaming mills are now brought to
such perfection that the separation OF
digerent grains is not dificnlt

"He who would thrive must rise at five
So says the proverb, though there is
more rhyme than reason in it, for if
He who would thrive must rise at five,
it must follow naturally,
He who'd thrive more must rise at
four; and it will insure consequence
that,
He who'd still more thriving be
Must leave his bed at turn of three;
And who this latter would out-do,
Will rouse him at the stroke of two.
And by the way of climax to il all, it
should be held good that
He who'd never be outdone,
Must even rise as soon as one.
But the best illustration would be,
He who'd flourish best OF all,
Should never go to bed at all.

such errors and abuses may be radically cured
without the dangerous use of internal medicine
or the application of the knife; pointing ont a
mode of cure at once simple, certain and efectua,
by means of which every sufferer. no matter what
his condition may be- may cure himself cheaply,
privately, and radically.
