VEST BURKE.

A week ago last Saturday evening,
Charles Walker, man about 80 years
old, and a resident of Coventry was going
from the post Office in this village to
the depot, and when opposi tie J. II. Sis

ter Bigelow saw him fall, and ran to
help him, but he lived but a moment
after he reached him. Mr.. Walker was
unknown in the place, and there was
nothing about his person which gave any
clue to his identity. 1t was some time
before any one was found who knew
him. He has lately been engaged run
ming the mill north of East Burke. and
the morning of his death he received a
letter stating that serious sickness pre-
vailed in his family, and he was On his
way home. Probably oyer-exertion in
travelling SO far through the snow on
foot was the cause of his death. - Ta5ion.

Is Genius q MaIadY2

Thinkers there are who contend that
genius, is symptom of disease OF the
brain. 1t cannot be denied that large
portion of the geniuses of the world
have been either melancholic or very
eccentric, and i'm some instances have
been the victims of violent and re-
peated attacks of insanity. DIR. John.
son was hypOchOndrical, and i'm vari-
Gus ways gave evidence of morbid
condition of the brain. AT the early
age of twenty he became victim OF
melancholic decisions, and from that
time forward was never happy. His
violent impetuosity and unreasonable
prejudices may thus be accounted for.
Southey lived for years in perpetual
dread of insanity, and when ct last he
kneeled i'm the furrOw, worn out
through mental eXcitementandf fatigue,
he composed that most instructive and
useful of his works, 1.-THE Life of
Cpwper." That Bosseau was lunatic
will he admitted without question by
those who have studied his life and
his writings, however ardently they
may admire his genius. Paschal was
one of the most original thinkers of
France, but no inmate of any asylum
ever presented more indisputable
proofs of mental disease than those
which characterized his whole career.
All his life he walked in darkness,
knowing not at what he stumbled, i'm
constant fear both of the present and
the future. He was the victim of alb
surd decisions, was harassed by ex-
cessive nervousness, and was the
slave of uncomfortable eccentricities.
On examination, after death, his brain
was found to be very seriously dis
eased.

Hard and Soft Water.

All housewives may not know how
materially the affects of hard and soft
water differ in the cooking of various
kind of vegetables. While one species
ofvegetables requires hard or soft water,
as the case may be, another species be-
comes sensibly deteriorated by it. For
instance, peas and beans cooked in
hard water, containing lime or gypsum,
will not boil tender because these sub
stances harden vegetable caseine. In
soft water they boil tender. and loose a
certain raw, rank taste, which they
retain in hard water. Many-vegetables,
(as Onions) boil nearly tasteless in soft
water, because all the flavor is dis
solved out. The addition of salt often
checks this, las in the case of onions
causing the vegetables to retain their
peculiar fiavoring principles, besides
much nutritious matter which might
be lost in soft water. Thus it appears
that the salt harde1s the water to a de-
gree. For extracting the juices of meat
to make broth or soup, soft water, un-
sailed and cold at first, is best, for it
much more readily penetrates the It's
sues but for boiling meats where the
juices should be retained, hard water
is preferable, aud the meat should be
put in while it is boiling SO as to seal
up the pores at once.

Wearing Boards,

There are more solid inducements
for wearing the beard than the mere
improvement of a mans personal APP
pearance and the cultivation of an aid
to the everyday diplomacy life. The
hair of the mustache not only absorbs
the moisture and miasma of the fogs,
but it strains the air from dust and the
SCOT OF our great smoky cities. 1t acts
also in the most scientific manner,
10y taking heat from the warm breath
as leaves the chest, and supplying 1t
to the cold air taken in. 1t is not only
a respirator, but with beard entire
We are supplied with a comforter as
well, and these are never left at home
like the umbrellas and all such appli-
ances when they are wanted.
Moffat and Livingstone, the ex.
plorers, and many other travellers, say
that at night nO.wrapper can equal the
beard. A remarkable fact is, too, that
the beard, like the hair of the head,
protects against the heat of the sun !;
it acts as the thatch does to the ice
house; but, more than this, it becomes
moist with the persiration, and then,
by evaporation, cools the skin.
A man who accepts this protection of
Natute, may face the rudest storm and
the hardest winter. He may go from
the hottest room into the coolest air
without dread and we verify believe
that he might sleep in a mOIa>s with
impunity; at least his chance of
escaping the terrible fever would be
better than his beardless companions.

The TallOw 1ree Of China.

A curious and valuable tree Is the
Stillingia Sabitera, or tallow tree of
China. Its most important popularity
is that it contains separately, in nearly
a pure state, the two prOximate princi-
pies of animal tallow, sterine and elain.
Its leaves are employed as a black dye i.
its wood is hard and durable. and may
be easily used for the blocks in printing
Chinese books and various other arti-
cles and finally, the refuse of the nut
serves for fuel and manure.
DIR. MACEDONIAN, in the Scientific
american, tells us that this tree is
chiefly cultivated in the provinces of
Kaing-se, Kiang-nau, and Chik-kiang.
In some districts near Hang-chau the
inhabitants defray all their takes with
its produce. 1t grows alike on low allu-
vial plains and on granite hills, on rich
moulds on the margin of canals, and on
the sandy sea-beach. The sandy estuary
of Hang-chau yields little else. Some
of the trees of this place are known to
be several hundred years old, and
though prostrated, still send forth
branches and bear fruit. Some are
made to fall over rivulets, forming
servicable bridges. They are seldom
planted where anything else can be
conveniently cultivated, but generally
in detached places, corners about
houses, roads, canals, fields, etc. In
Winter, when the nuts are ripe, they
are cut off with thetwigs by a sharp bill
hook attached to the extremity of a
long pole. which is held in the hand
and pushed upward against the twigs,
removing at the same time such as are
fruitless.
The capsulesare pounded and steamed,
to separate the shells from the seeds.
The tallow is extracted from the shell,
and is refined till it appears hard,
brittle, white, and opaque, tasteless,
and without the odor of animal tallow.
Under high pressure it scarcely stains
bibulous paper; it melts at 104 Fab.
It may be regarded as nearly pure
sterine. The seeds yield about eighty
per cent. of tallow. The kernels are
pressed for the oil, of which they yield
about thirty percent. 1t answers well
for lamps, though inferior for this pur-
pose to some other vegetable oils in
use. 1t is also employed for various
purposes in the arts, and has place in
the Chinese pharcopnia because of it
quality of changing gray hair to black
and other imaginary virtues.

Success In Life,

The great evil upon which we have
fallen in these days of rapid fortunes
and extravagant living, will be appre-
ciated if We ask ourselves what mean
ing is attached to the word success.
What are our young people taught
as comprising true success in life
What class of men are held up as the
true type of manhood, and as worthy
of emulation? When Mr.. Greeley
talks of "self-made man. who are
the bright examples he holds up to
view and whom does he ask our young
men to pattern after-the man of ideas,
OF moral power, of strong virtues,
or of great wealth? What is meant by
success in life when the instances most
cited in this connection are Aston, Gil
rard, Stewart, and Vandebilt? Who
ever speaks of men like Elihu Burritt
and that class of philanthropists and
scholars, who are thinking so much
OF others that they have no time to de-
vote to the accumulation of wealth
as Peabody, who had lived within
himself until he had amassed great
wealth, and got through with its use
and agrandizement, bequeathed it TO
such purposes and under such restric
tons as to suit his fancy or his ambi-
ton, we are quite apt 20 lose sight OF
the thousands of tender hearts and
great souls whose wonderful benevo-
lence and fellow feeling have made ii
impossible that they should grow rich
save in the blessings of those whom
they have helped. 1t is not time that
new lexicon was prepared, so that our
coming" men and women shall have
different idea of the true meaning of
Success?

Old Rags.

First and foremost of the many applica
tons of this humble material is the manu-
facture of paper; for this purpose England
alone uses not less than $1,000 tons OF rags
and waste, representing a money value Of
about $500, 900. The transformation eff
fected by the action of certain chemicals
on paper is very striking. "A sheet of com
mon white blotting paper, which will scarce.
ly bear its own weight when ~etted, is con
verted in few seconds, by the action oil
sulphuric acid, into a substance possessing
all the properties ofordinary animal parch
ment, and so strong that it can be only
broken with difficulty Great as this
change is, strange to say, no chemical al
teration has really taken place; the acid
merely produces a molecular change, and
is 1tirely washed away at the end of the
process Rags from wooden materials I'm.
dergo many peculiar metamorphoses; old
clio criers first collect them; they are then
successfully converted into mungo, shoddy,
and devils dust, and reappear as ladies
superfne cloth; they then degenerate into
druggets, and are finally used for the man
ufacture of flock paper. After undergo
ing all these Transformations, they are used
by the agriculturalist as manure. on ac-
count OF the large amount Of nitrogen they
contain. he presence of this element
makes them ofgreat use, also, to the chem
ical manufacturer; he boils them. down
with pearlash. horns and boots OF catt'e
old iron hoops, blood, clippings OF leather,
and broken horse-shoes, and produces the
beautiful yellow and red salts known as
prussiates of potash. From these, again,
the rich and valuable pigment called Prus
sian blue is made, and thus do our old rags
enter upon a fresh career of beauty and
usefulness, to form, in their turn, other
waste products, which may again be utiilz-
ed through the power of man intelligence.
