HINTS ON SHOPPING,

1t is poor cconomy-or, rather, no
economy at ALTO purchase inferior
fabrics because they are cheap. Per-
sons in limited circumstances often
commit this error. If a
calico at ten cents n
yard looks about as well as one at
twelve or fifteen cents, the prudent
purchaser will often think it economy
to choose the low prced goods. As it
is low.priced, she may indulge in a
yard or two more for ruii1es or bias
folds, fattering herself that cheap or
namentaton is an equivalent for fine
quality. This mistake may be seen
permeating the entire wardrobe of
many sensible people. The result is
simply this they never have any
thing of really good quality, are always
shabby, and always buying. None but
rich people can afford to buy poor
goods, This rule applies to all sorts
OF goods-muslins, cloths, carpets, and
table linen. We grudge the time we
see women spend in making up mus
Inns of low grade for under clothing.
There are so many stitches in shirt
And when it lasts one year instead of
two, as it should, there is just twice as
much work done as need to be.
Better make three shirts Of fine quail
ty muslin than six Of lower grade of
muslin. Just so in flannels. A fifty
cent all wool Shaker flannel will wear
two or three times as long as your
flimsy cotton and wool stuff few pen
MES cheaper. Especially in family
OF children, fabrics should be chosen
for service that when made up they
may descend from one child to another,
thus saving tho mother time to stitch
into her brain little embroidery Of

AGRICULTURAL.
ORCHARD AND NURSERY.


Mild days often occur during this
month, and advantage must be taken
of such to forward the work of the
comming spring.
Cart and sled out all the manure
needed it will prevent considerable
injury to the ground. In spring, the
surface is SO soft as to render it diff.
cult to carry heavy load into the
orchard, so that every days work Of
this kind done now lessons the labor
Of early spring. The manure should
be placed in piles of moderate size, and
afterwards be spread evenly over the
surface. Do not place directly around
the trunks it only affords harbor
for vermin, and is of no use.
Should light SHOWS fall, tramp firm
ly around each tree to prevent the mice
gaining access to the bark. All gates
and bars should be closed, to exclude
stray cattle, which do damage by
breaking down young trees or treading
upon seed beds.
1t is not too early to look after in
sccts. The eggs of the tent caterpillar
can readily be seen now upon the
twigs and small branches, and are more
easily destroyed than when they are
hatched in the spring. Canker. worms
will also appear during warm days, and
means must be taken to prevent their
ascending the trees. Use bands of
paper smeared with tar or printer sink,
which should be renewed as soon as
the surface sets hard.
Pruning may be done when there
is time, and the weather is not too
freezing. Cover the wounds with
paint, shellac varnish, or melted graft
ing wax, to prevent the moisture from
the fresh wound otherwise there il |
danger of decay.
Digging holes for trees to be set
next spring is good work for warm
days. The frost acts upon the soil
making it finer, and, besides, the time
saved is considerable, provided large
trees are to be planted.
a fruit garden is better if made separ-
ate from the vegetable garden, but to
many this will seem needless waste Of
room. The majority of farmers and
gardeners take advantage of every
available space between the rows Of
trees and small fruits. More thorough
and careful culture can can be given
the trees and small fruits if the ground
is not occupid with vegetables. A
fruit garden should be situated in Q
well-sheltered spot, ami where the soil
is easily drained, either naturally Of
artificially. In selecting varieties, due
regard should be had to both early and
late sorts, so that the crops will covsI
as long q season ss possible. If far
mers would have their sons remain
upon the farm, they should pay NOR
attention to the cultivation Of choice
fruit and vegetables, and try to create
in them an interest for horticulture o
we'll as farming. Very little can
done now except to make plans to
executed in the spring, aud OCCASION
ally, when mild day comes, to prun|
the grape vines, gooseberriss, and sue
small fruits and trees a. require il.

THE RICHEST BOY IN AMER.
Tct

Everybody has heard of the late
Edwin A. Stevens Of Hoboken. His
father, Colonel John Stevens, invested
nearly all his wealth in Hoboken
lands, aud soon became the possessor
Of the vast tract that stretches from the
Elysian Fields to point beyond the
line Of the terminus of the Morris and
Essex road, and from the river to the
Palisades. From small village the
track became town, and from town
city and lots that were purchased
by the colonel at less than one dollar
each, were soon worth five hundred
times that amount. The colonel did
not retire upon his golden laures.
He projected the Camden and Amboy
and New Jersey railroads, and lived to
see both in fair way to completion.
His hand and fortune were visible in
every improvement, and his genius
and disposition descended to his son,
the late Edwin A. Stevens. The lat
ter was the principal manager Of the
Camden and Amboy railroad, and he
applied steam, then comparatively in
its infancy, to all the various uses and
projects which had emanated from his
busy brain. Forty-two years ago
Edwin A Stevens was regarded as the
most active businss man in the Lifted
States, and, making due ALLOWANCE for
age, he preserved his reputation up to
within two or three years of his death
The great iron battery, which was the
last embodiment of his genius, was the
forerunner of our monitors.
Edwin A. Stevens left two sons.
The eldest is called after himself. He
is bright lad of seventeen, unaffected
in his manners. The mother, who is
still young woman, resides with her
children in the "castle, above the
banks Of the Hudson, near the heart of
Hoboken. The boy does not seem to
realize that he is heir to an estate
worth $40, 900, 900, and that in four
years more he will probably be the
richest man in the world.
When he reaches his majority. the
interest on his fortunn will amount to
a larger sum than the salary Of any
crowned bead in Europe. 1t would be
really difficult to compute what the
Stevens establishment will be worth in
five years more. A large number Of
leases of valuable houses aud lots, now
held at nominal rents, will then revert
to young Stevens, and he will be the
sole possessor Of bonds and other
securities which are now valued at
S4,000,000. Should he live to the
age Of his father, and be as lucky in
his ventures, his wealth will be greater
than Rothchild's. The lad, however,
seems, to be unconscious of his destiny.
He may be seen daily playing on the
lawn in front of the castle where his
father passed his maturer life,

THE DELI'GE.

We have received from the accom-
plished discoverer, Mr.. Geo. Smith of
the British Museum, the subjoined
most interesting account Of the record
of the deluge, which, as we announced
day or two ago, he has lately de.
ciphered from the Assyrian monu.
ments.
"The cunciform inscription which
l have recently found and translated,
gives long and full account of the
deluge. 1t contains the version or ira.
dition Of his event which existed in the
early Chaldean, period at the city Of
Erech Zone of the cities of Nimrod,)
now represented by the ruins Warka.
In this newly discovered inscription
the account Of the deluge is put as a
narrative into the mouth of Xisuthurus
or Noah. He relates the wickedness
Of the world, the command to build
the ark, its building, the filling of it,
the deluge, the resting Of the ark on q
mountain, the sending out of the birds,
and other matters. The narrative has
a closer resemblance to the account
translated by the Greek from Berosus,
the Chaldean historian, than TO the
Biblical history, but it does not differ
materially from either. The principal
differences are as to the duration Of the
deluge, the name of the mountain on
which the the ark rested, the sending
out Of the birds, &c. The cuneiform
account, is much longer and fuller
than that of Berosus, and has several
details omitted both by the Bible and
the Chaldean historian. This inscrip.
ton opens up many questions of
which we knew nothing previously,
and it is connected with number Of
other details Of Chaldean history which
will be both interesting and important.
This is the first time any inscription
has been found with an account Of an
event mentioned in Genesis. Lon

Flinging open the door which lead
to the veranda she went out, followed
by Editha, who in her despair, had
succeeded in pushing more Of the towel
in her mouth. The noise Of bolt be-
ing drawn was heard.
"Stand aside, my friend |" said
Madame Lucca, cor you are a dead
man p A sharp report followed, ac-
companied by the sound of crashing
wood and splintered glass.
"There that is one barrel out of
six. That is merely to show that l
am armed. You had better remain
quiet"
The visitor also was seemingly Of
this opinion, for he did not renew the
attempt. When the servants returned
next morning, they found Madame
Lucca quietly reading under the yer.
anda before the window. They were
rather surprised, however, at perceiv-
ing she had a six -barreled revolver in
her hand, and Editha what appeared
to be the end Of towel sticking out
of her mouth. A few words explained
the whole affair, and in about an hour
afterward, the would be thief, who, as
it was proved, would have been ready
to turn assassin as well, was safe at the
nearest PoiizeiJureau.
Talk of generalship," said my
friend, as he concluded his story,

by which Madame Lucca lured the
thief into the room destined TO be his
dungeon, magnificent idea Moltke

As shells keep singing ofthe sea:

Here's rosemary leaf and pansy blue;
They'll tell you that will be true
To memory, darling, and to YOU.
And never will forget you.

NECESSITY OF VENTILATION.

| told that the breathing Of impure
air is a fruitful source of disease of the
heart, occurring after middle age =.
How many people ignorantly favor its
occurrence by combining themselves
to closely shut, non-ventilated, hot,
sitting rooms, in which the carbonic
acid has accumulated to two or three
per cent. of the air they respire How
many are thus destroyed by being
compelled, through the exigencies of
life, to pass the greater part of their
time in pits and manufactures where
ventilation is defective, or in which the
air respired is poisoned by noxious
fumes and offensive examination from
the materials undergoing the process
of manufacture. How many are fall
ing victims to the poisonous influence
upon the heart of the atmosphere of
an underground railway? What do
these facts suggest ? How are these
evil results to be prevented? The
simple answer is: Let the rooms in
which you live be efectually ventilated
by an incoming current of air filtered
from all adventurous impurities, aud SO
divided that no draught shall be felt
and by an outgoing current which shall
remove from the apartments the carbonic
acid, carbonic oxide, sulphurous acid
gas, sulphurrtted hydrogen, and other
noxious compounds, as rapidly as they
are generated. Apply the same prin-
ciple to public buildings, theatres,
schools, manufactures, pits, and to all
places in which people are accustomed
to congregate.-[Popular Science
