A Fish Savings Bank.

THEY must have some good heads in the
Russian Government-the proof of which
appears in a curious kind of savings bank
established in Siberia. The inhabitants
of the northwestern part of that region
live substantially upon salmon, which
enter the streams in summer to spawn.
Then the natives take immense quantities
of the fish, dry them and lay by supply
to last till the next season. But about every
third or fourth year on the average
though with considerable irregularity-
the salmon do not appear, and the conse-
quence is famine, which, falling first
upon the dog teams of the people, dis
ables the latter from drawing supplies
from other quarters: 10 prevent the
terrible sufferings which have arisen from
this cause, the Russian Government estab-
lished at Kolyma, a Russian post on the
Arctic Ocean, a sort of savings bank
with a capital of one hundred thousand
dried fish purchased from the natives and
stored away. Then law was enacted
compelling every adult male inhabitant of
the settlement to pay into the bank
annually one-tenth of all the fish he
caught, and no excuse for a failure was
admitted-this continuing as long as the
fish season remained good. But when
there was failure of the salmon and
starvation impended, every depositOr was
entitled to borrow from the bank fish
enough for his regular supplies, on con-
dition of repayment next year. This
bank, at the last advices, had carried the
people through two consecutive years of
famine, and accumulated capital of 800,
600 dried fish, and was still accommodating
at the rate of 20, 900 year. Itwas thus on
the road to wealth, besides being a fOun-
tain of benefcence to the people. 1t is
the principle of Joseph's management in
Egypt, with all the modern improvements
required by the state of society in Siberia

SelfEsteem.

In the training and education of the
young this element of character should
not be crushed, but encouraged and prop
erly directed. If child has fair devel-
opment of it, he should never be degrad-
ed nor underrated. If it be weak in him,
it should be encouraged by an address to
his honor and manliness. He may be
early taught that some actions are in
themselves mean and low, and therefore
beneath the true dignity of human char
acter, and he will instinctively despise
and avoid them. Mothers sometimes call
their children debasing names, such as
Uallain, scamp, simpletOn, dot. This prac-
tice not only serves to irritate and annoy
the child, and thus deprave its disposi-
ton, but it has a direct tendency to lower
the child in his own self-respect. If we
tell the child he is villain, and he has
any respect for our opinion. it is the very
way to make him one by blighting his
sense of honor and giving him a craven
spirit and low estimate of himself.
While we dislike naughty, supercili-
Gus character, we equally deprecate an
undignifed, submissive, craven spirit.
Most persons, in the training of children,
address approbativeness rather than self
esteem; they impress upon the child's
mind the idea that his wrong doings will
be unpopular, not that certain acts and dis
positions are essentially mean and un-
worthy of him as human being, wheth-
er the world knows it or not. A child
can be induced to abandon a favorite
pursuit by arousing his self-esteem to re-
gard it as debasing, mean and undignificd,
and then, though his friends and the
world do not see his conduct, he viii
avoid improper conduct per sc and for his
own sake, not to avoid rebuke or public
disgrace. His virtues can also be made
strong when his sense of dignity and
honor is combined with the dictates of
reason and conscience.-Whdtt to DO, and

The Front Yard.

The identifying of the front yard and
keeping it in order depends much more
upon the girls than the boys, and they
generally like to do it. With little in
genuity and care, and the help of their
brothers, great many pretty, ornament
al things can be contrived at very small
expense. Hanging baskets can be manu-
factured of the wire of old hoop skirts,
and lined with moss, and, filled with ivy
or other trailing vines, can be made to do
double duty in identifying the grounds
and getting rid of a nuisance which no.
body seems to know what to do with.
Urns, made of boards nailed together six
or eight sided, the outside covered with
rough bark-the rougher the better
either glued or tackled on, and filled with
gay and ever blooming plants, are as pref
ty as they are inexpensive, and are within
the reach of everybody. Another beauti-
full ornament can be made by taking
large shallow dish-an old tea tray an
swers the purpose admirably-flling it
with woods earth, making the surface into
little hills and dales, and covering the
whole with the prettiest moss that can be
found In this moss bed can be planted
Young ferns, white and yellow violets,
star grass, painted cups, and almost any
thing else that likes shade and moisture.
If kept out OF the sun and gwen plenty OF
water it is surprising how luxuriantly the
mimic landscapes will grow, and how
beautiful they will be.
There are many wild flowers, which, If
transplanted, are as pretty as any culti-
waited ones. and the little girls will find it
pleasant to take basket and trowel with
them upon their excursions in the woods
in order to dig up such roots for trans
planting Among these is a species of
wild phlox, the rose-colored, so much
prettier and more delicate than the coarse,
snowy varieties which are cultivated, that
it is wonder it has not entirely displaced
the latter. The wild lady's slipper, one of
the most curious and beautiful of our for
est flowers, bears transplanting well, and
is well worth the little care it needs But
the prettiest of all is the wild cOlumbine.
Nothing can exceed the airy grace of its
gold and crimson bells, hanging from
their slender stalks; and the purple and
white varieties which are generally culti-
waited seem stiff and ungraceful beside
them. They like the garden, and will
thrive beautifully with ordinary care.
Trilliums, wild honeysuckles, lupines,
and many others will well repay cultiva-
tion.-Tne AdUdnce.

Summer Drinks.

ICE-wATER should be drank but sparing-
ly. A most excellent substitute for it is
pounded ice taken in small humps into the
mouth, and allowed to dissolve upon the
tongue This will prove very refreshing
and much more enduring in its effects.
Lemonade is simple and grateful bev-
erage Tomake it /: Roll the lemons on
something hard till they become soft I;
crate off the rinds, cut the lemons in
slices and squeeze them into a pitcher; a
new clothes-pin will answer for squeeZer
in lieu of something better; pour on the
required quantity of water, and sweeten
according to taste. The grated rinds, for
the sake of their aroma, should be added,
too. After mixing thoroughly, set the
pitcher aside for half an hour then strain
the liquor through jelly strainer, and
put it in the ice.
Travellers who find it inconvenient to
use lemons, can carry a box of lemon
sugar prepared from citric acid and sugar,
little of which in a glass of water will
furnish quite refreshing drink, and one
that will help oftentimes to avert sick
headache and biliousness. Citric acid is
obtained from the Juice of lemons and
lines.
Perry is delicious beverage made from
cherries, and will keep year or more
Take six pounds of cherries and bruise
them; pour on pint and a half of hot
water, and boil for fifteen minutes strain
through flannel bag, and add three
pounds of sugar. Boil for half an hour
more, or until the liquid will sink to the
bottom of cup of water TRY it with a
teaspoonful of the liquid); then turn into
Jelly cups, and cover with paper dipped
in the white of an egg.
To prepare the drink: Put spoonful
of the jelly into a goblet of water
and let it stand about ten minutes
then stir it up and fill it with pounded
ice. Currants and raspberries made
into "shrub," furnish pleasant
cooling drink when mixed with ice
water. Pounded ice is also an agreeable
addition to a saucer of strawberries, rasp
berries, or currants Pound it until it i:
almost as fine as snow, and spread it ovel
the berries. With fruit it is also an ex
cellent substitute for cream.
Water ices are always acceptable
Those made of lemon, orange, currants
strawberries, raspberries and pineapple
are much improved by adding the stiff
beaten whites of four eggs TO every two
quarts of the liquid. Put it in just as il
is turned into the freezer, and it will
freeze in foam.-ScTl5ner's for July.

The "Rest-Cure."
Why.

EXERCISE can kill as well as cure. To
be taken advantageously, it should be
done with Judgment Sometimes a par
ticular part of the body needs exercise,
but the whole body is too weak to give it;
in such case only the part needing it
should have it. But there is one rule
which is applicable to all-never go
against the instincts. Many persons have
hurried themselves into the grave by en-
deavoring to keep up" when they ought
to be abed; and they do "keep up" too,
for so long time that when they do take
to their beds, their strength is SO COM
pletely exhausted, that the system has no
power to rise, and they fall into typhoid
condition, and all is lost. When anything
serious is the matter with domestic ami
mails, they court quietude and perfect
rest. Sometimes we feel indisposed to ex-
ercise from sheer laziness; in all loose con-
ditions of the bowels, debility, an in
stinctive desire to sit down and stay there
is universal; in most of such cases quiet
ude is cure But there is one safe rule
for all under all circumstances; if every
step you take is with an effort, do not take
another; go to bed; if you feel the better
for walk, then walk on; but stop short
of great fatigue.-Dr. W. W. Hail.

Value of Salt.

THIS substance is remarkable as consti-
tuting the only mineral eaten by man.
Not only does it afford an indispensable
and wholesome condiment for our tables,
but it forms an essential constituent of the
blood, and supplies to the human system
the loss sustained by saline secretions. Its
antiseptic properties are invaluable; but
although it preserves, it ultimately changes
and deteriorates the quality of the food
to which it is applied, rendering the same
innutritious and indigestible; for salt,
Notwithstanding its being a strong stimu-
liant to the animal fiber, is not convertible
into nutrinlent. This is the cause why
sailors who subsist long upon salted pro-
visions are subject to the sea scurvy.
Its medicinal qualities are also remarka-
BILE. While all other saline preparations
tend to cool, this but heats the body and
engenders thirst. Some years ago med
ical man wrote a brochure in which he
condemned the use of salt, attributing to
it all the diseases to which flesh is heir.
The poor fellow eventually committed
suicide.
Only lately book has appeared in
which the writer, who is a physician,
recommends salt as a sure antidote to the
contagion of smallpox. Doctors of course
will disagree, but as variola is acknowl-
edged to arise from diseased or poisoned
condition of the blood, the due use of salt
may possibly form a safe and effective
specific. Salt is not only an agreeable
condiment, but also an indispensable
requisite. When moderately used it acts
as a gentle stimulant to the stomach, and
gives piquancy and relish to our food.
In Africa the high caste children suck
rock salt as if it were sugar, although the
poorer classes of natives cannot so in.
dulge their palates. Hence the express
sion in vogue among them, " He eats salt
with his victuals," signifying that the per
son alluded to is an opulent man. In
those countries where mineral salt is not
procurable, and where the inhabitants are
far removed from the sea, kind of saline
powder is prepared from certain vegeta-
BILE products to serve in its stead. In.
deed, so highly is salt valued in some
places-such as Prester Johns country
that from its very scarcity it is employed
as a substitute for money.-Neao YorA

The COrpses OF the Great.

THE embalming of Mazzini's body
recalls the singular fate which has attend
ed the remains of so many distinguished
men. In fact, an extremely interesting
volume might be made of the posthumous
adventures of the bodies of those whose
memory the world has sought to keep
alive. There is but little doubt that the
tombs in the Pantheon at Paris, which
are shown to contain the remains of Vol
taire and Rousseau, are, in fact, empty,
having been rifled during one of the
periods. of conservative reaction in
France. NIilton's head is said to be in
possession of private collector in Lon
don. So is Cromwell's. Jeremy Bentham's
body, by his direction, was stuffed, and,
dressed in his usual suit of clothes, with
his hat on, his stick in his hand, and seat
ed in his chair, is now preserved in a
glass case. A few years ago there was
sold at auction in London what was said
to be the head of Confucius, the Chinese
sage. 1t was a skull mounted in gold,
and was said to nave been taken by an
English sailor from the Summer Palace in
Pekin when that building was sack
ed In ''Le Chemin des Ecoliers" by
Saintine there is an illustration by
Dore, drawn with the imaginative
realism of that artist, representing
the skeleton of Charlemagne seated
in his tomb at Aix-la- Chapelle, with a
crown upon his skeleton head, and his
bones wrapped in the imperial robes.
This tomb was built by Charlemagne for
himself, and he was buried there. In
997, Otho III. had the tomb opened, and
found the skeleton as Dore had depicted
it, seated upon the marble chair, which is
still shown to the curious. Otho found
the body and the imperial robes much de-
cayed; but, bowling respectfully before the
remains of the great king, he retired, and
had the doors sealed again. In 1165,
however, they were opened again by
Frederick Barbarossa, more for plunder
than for curiosity. Having possessed
himself of the treasures the tomb con-
tanned, he removed the skeleton. and dis
tributed its fragments as relics, and the
skull and some of the bones can still be
seen at Aix-la- Chapelle, where, with other
curiosities, they are shown for five francs
head.-Lippinc0tt Magazine.

The Hearth and Home says that Bishop
Whitehouse was, one Sabbath evening,
describing to his congregation how he
had once been lost out on the prairies of
Illinois, and had wandered for along time,
weary and almosthopeless. AT last he saw
a light, and made his way slowly toward
it, shouting for help. "Just as l thought
| could go no further" said the Bishop,
"and was about sinking down in despair,
the door of a cabin opened before me,
and the long-looked-for Sucker came"
The pun was unintentional, but the effect
on Western audience was inevitable.
