WHAT SOLOMON SAYs.-We have not
yet in all these heightened centuries
been able to improve on the wisdom of
Solomon, who held his special gift
from God. And this is Solomon's sketch
of a good woman "Who can find a
virtuOus woman? for her price is far
above rubies. The heart of her hus-
band doth safely trust in her, so that
he shall have no need of spoil. She
will do him good and not evil all the
days of her life. She seeketh wool and
fax, and worketh willingly with her
hands. She laysth her hands to the
spindle, and her hands hold the distaf.
She is not afraid of the snow of her
household; for all her household are
clothed with scarlet She maketh her
self coverings OF tapestry; her clothing
is silk and purple. She maketh fine
linen, and selleth it; and delivereth
girdles unto the merchant. She look
eth well to her household, and eateth
not the bread of idleness.

CHINESE PREPARATION OF SoY.--Equal
quantities of beans and wheat are boiled
together, and then triturated between
stones, and water occasionally added.
The mass is cooked in a pan, and cut
into thin slices, which are kept covered
with straw for about twenty days.
When completely fermented, the separ-
ate slices having become moldy, they
are washed with water, placed in a yes
sci, and their weight of water and of
salt added. In this condition they are
kept for a number of days, and are
finally again triturated between stones.

WIVES ENoUGH.-An incident of
crossing the plains, in the early days,
was told by clever lady at the break
fast table one morning in Frisco. A
Dutchman and his wife had travelled
west and arrived at Salt Lake, where
they halted for few weeks. The Nor
mons got around the old Dutchman and
coaxed him to join their ranks. After re-
firing one night in their canvass covered
wagon bed, the Dutchman broke the
matter to his better-half, limiting to her
that the Mormons told him he had better

BURNs.-The use of cold alcohol to
alleviate the pain of burns is suggested
by DIR. A. Horvath. He states that in
slight cases of burn he has found that
cold alcohol produced a remarkably
calming effect, the pain almost entirely
disappearing, and the subsequent PRO
gress of the patient being singularly
favorable. AS the fatal termination of
the severer cases of burn is attributed
to the depression caused by the pain,
he believes this might be prevented by
the application of alcohol.

EFFECT OF ToPPING Potato STALKS.
Comparative experiments to determine
whether cutting off the stalks at the
commencement of the potato disease
protected the tubers without diminish
ing the yield, were made by Paulsen,
by raising one row and topping another
on the same day, at regular intervals.
While the result showed that the sep
arate rows, by like treatment, without
disease, varied in yield, the topped
plants had for the most part a larger
proportion of large tubers than those
that had been raised on the same day.
1t seems, however, that only water is
taken up by the tubers after topping,
since no increase of dried matter was
found when the topping occurred so
late that the stalk did not grow again !;
and under any circumstances the yield
seemed poorer in quality and quantity
than without topping. Although the
stalks topped at the proper time had
fewer diseased tubers, the spores of the
fungus seem to be carried to the tubers
through the stalks rather than by rain !;
otherwise the topped stalks would have
received supply from the neighboring
ones. In warm, dry weather the in
grow h is greater than in cool, wet pc
RODS. Early kinds of potatoes seemed
to do better than late ones. Heavy
Enanuriu p, especially with horse or
sheep M IRE, favored the disease, and
increased he watery contents, and the
yield was ilsO less, although with lux
uriant grow n of the stalks.

An Old Shin.

The bark True Love, Capt. Thomas
Wetherill, has INST arrived from Green
land with a cargo of kryolite. This
vessel was built n the year 1854, and is,
consequently, 100 years old. The sides
batter inward to the top of the gun
vale, and this ma kes the vessel much
broader at the wator-line than on deck.
In nautical langu0 ge, the sides are
known as tumbling home" because
they fall in above the bends. This bark
was built at Philadelphia, but it cannot
be ascertained with any degree of GER
tainty at what particular point. The
custOm-house register does not contain
the record, because the vessel was built
twelve years before the beginning of
the American revolution. It is most
likely that she was built in Kensington,
as it appears from history that the first
ship-yards on the Delaware were estab-
lished in that locality, not far from the
Penn treaty ground. The bark was
built for parties residing in Hull, Eng
land, and still halls from that place,
and for forty-seven years was engaged
in the whaling business in the northern
seas, and appeared to be at home among
the icebergs of the Arctic region. It is
understood that the vessel has never
required any considerable repairs. The
original timbers appear to be as sound
as the day they were erected on the
stocks III old Kenslngton. The bark
registers two hundred and ninety-six
tons, but will carry much more.
HE BEST PATHFINDERS, As the
frosts of winter destroy their pastures
in the north, 50 the heats of summer
parch those in the south, and the buffa-
iOes must, each spring and autumn,
take long journeys in search of fresh
feeding grounds. The large size and
weight o. these somewhat clumsy ex-
plorers make it rather difficult for them
to cross the mountains, so they seek
out for themselves the most practicable
routes; and hunters and emigrants have
found that buffalo track" offers the
surest and safest path for men and
horses. The best passes in the Cum-
berland and Rocky mountains. and the
regions of the Yellowstone and the
Colorado, have been discovered by fol-
lowing the trail of these sagacious

HEART DIsEAsE.-Many persons suf-
fer with heart disease without knowing
it; suddenly they drop off, and their
friends are astonished, on post norton
examination, to learn that they died of
heart disease. The heart, like the brain,
is the seat of life; its diseases are of sew
eral characters. The most common are
valvular disease, fatty degeneration, and
functional arrangement. If the liver
becomes deranged, and digestion is i'm
paired, the heart, through sympathy and
iuxtaposition, becomes abnormal. The
following symptoms indicate approach
ing disease: Palpitation, giddiness,
faintness, nervous prostration, deranged
digestion, vertigo, cold extremities, ETC.,
for which the old school will administer

many other poisons. Heart disease is a

A dough is prepared out of small green
meas by soaking them thoroughly in
water and grinding them between stones,
adding water and pre- ssing them through
a sieve; then subjccting the mass OBJ
tanned by pressure in a strong vessel
and thus removing the water. This
dough, well softened with water, is
poured through a gourd vessel, usually
with ten holes in it, into a vessel of
boiling water the higher the gourd
above the boiling water, the longer and
finer the vermicelli. On removal from
the boiling water the threads are imme-
diately dried.

weight, of glue, with Is parts of cold
water, and allow it to soak for several
hours then warm moderately till the
solution is perfectly clear, and dilute it
with 65 parts of boiling water, intimate
" stirred in. Next prepare solution
of 80 parts of starch in 200 parts of cold
water, so as to form thin, homogene-
GUS liquid, free from Jumps, and pour

thorough stirring, and at the same time
keeping the mass boiling.
UTILIZATION OF OLD FISH PICKLE
1t would hardly be supposed that so
apparently innocent substance as old
fish pickle would have any special med
ical or physiological properties. The
fact is, however, that In the earliest
ages it was believed to have important
medicinal qualities and quite recently
it has been used to a very great extent
in the manufacture of propylamine and
methylamine maintained to be distinct
bodies by some and simply different
forms of the same substance by others,
now so largely employed as remedy
in acute articular rheumatism. Recent
experiments also show that a small
quantity of this pickle administered to
poultry produces fatal results and in
France it is quite common where the
premises are infested by a neighbours
poultry, to soak grain in this pickle,
and when dry to throw it out where the
intruders can take it; the result in
most cases being their death in a short
time.

Chester.
While our friends over OH the
Square and in the immediate vicinity
are congratulating themselves upon
the activity Of the various manutac-
turing concerns and the building and
embellishments going on there, we
have been running our eye over the
city proper and we find old grand
mother Sleepy Hollow" is awakening
to her own interests. Her old Cap
strings are futtering about something
like this (: The large brick block, corn
er of Main and Mackerel Streets, own
ed by G. w. Hadley & Son, is under
going extensive repairs, when COM
pleted will be one of the finest stove
stores on the street. The extensive
dry goods house of j. l.. French has

date his large and constantly growing

stove and sheet-iron ware house in
Booths block, Main Street. We re-
fer to VIM. Miller & Son. The senior
member of this firm is the parent of
the tin and stove business in this town.
Down on Mill Street we find the Cab
Factory under full pressure; Cob
ligh's carriages and sleighs go to our
remotest cities. Switching back to
Mackerel Street we find lot of land
owned by j. S. Chapman, suitable to
build boot factory upon we may

awake. We cannot very well round
off this, but half told, tale of our plos-
perity, without abiding to one prom
inent business man among US: his
business is of a general character, that
is, he is in everybody's business but
his own; one of those everlasting
carbuncles that fasten upon the surface
OF society; a strange compound OF
big conceit and small deceit, a mouth
frothing strife stirrer, arestless schem
err of social discord, an officious med
dler and nuisance by common con-
sent. Chester never yet had party
or clique or interest that did not feel
itself damaged when this strong scent.
