The Bank of England held an extra special meet
ing to-daw which resulted III an advance OF the
minimum rate Of discount TO seven per cent against
six the rate since last Tuesday. In the open mar

ties were not specially affected. The rise in the rate
was mot unexpected, nor would still further adj
vance he surprising when we consider the large
amount of specie Withdrawn from the bank during
the last few weeks 1t is not unlikely that further
flow this way is in the near future, and however

Training Girls for Household Duties.

Training girls for household duties ought
to be considered as necessary as instruction
in writing and arithmetic, and quite as
universal. We are in the house more
than half Of our existence, and it is the
household surroundings, which affect most
largely the happiness or misery Of domes-
tic life. If the wife knows how to keep
house" if she understands how to " set a
table" if she has learned how things
ought to be cooked, how beds should be
made, how carpets should be swept, how
furniture should be busted, how clothes
should be repaired, and turned and alter
ed, and renovated if she knows how
purchases can be made to the best advan-
tage and understands the laying in of pro-
visions, how to make them 60 the farthest
and last the longest; if she appreciates
the importance of system, order, tidiness
and the quiet management Of children
and servants, then she knows how to make
little heaven Of home-how to keep her
husband from the club room and the wine
cup. Such family will be trained to So
cial respectablity, to business success,
and to efficiency and usefulness in what
ever position may be allotted to them.
1t is safe to say that not one girl in ten
in our large towns and cities entered into
married life who had learned to bake loaf
of bread, to purchase a roast, to dust a
painting, to sweep carpet, or to cut and
make her own dress. How much the per
feet knowledge of these things bear upon
the thrift, the comfort and health of fami-
lies, may be conjectured, but not calcula
ted by figures. 1t would be of immeasur.
able advantage to make beginning by
attaching kitchen to every girls school
in the nation, and have lessons given daily
in the preparation of all the ordinary arti
cles of food and drink for the table to the
best advantage, with the result of large
saving Of money, and increase of comfort
and higher health in every family in the
land-HaNs Journal.

Sick Headache.

Almost every one has different remedy
for this most common but none the less
distressing complaint. And the truth is,
that very few of them have any effect at
all, while some of them only aggravate the
case. The best and safest way for the
sufferer is to let himself alone tin the gas
trio or nervous arrangements which have
produced it have subsided, when sleep
generally comes to the aid of exhausted
nature, and perfects the cure The British
Medical Journal, in treating of this sub
ject, says the only remedies which are of
any avail are those which act on the
nervous system, such as hot tea and coffee,
or, after the most violent symptoms have
passed of, little wine or ammonia. The
bromide of potassium is also highly recon-
mended after the nausea subsidies. While
this exists, 1t Is of no avail. The writer
also thinks that tea and coffee used in
excess constantly, although they may re.
lieve headache, may also predispose to
the difficulty and he cites instances Of
several patients, who, by giving up the
use of those beverages, became cured Of
chronic or frequent headaches.

The LUMBER TRADE.-The Lumber
men in different parts Of the country are
much gratifed at the recent freshets, which
are bringing down the logs in vast num-
bers to the booms on the various rivers.
In Maine, Pennsylvania and other timber
States, the streams have been for some
time past greatly swollen, and the timber
that has been laid up for year, and in
some cases for two years, is being brought
down to the booms, where it can be made
up into RATS and taken to market The
freshets in the streams leading through the
lumber regions have been heavier this year
than for several seasons past, owing to the
deep SHOWS Of last winter and the copious
rains that accompanied the breaking up Of
the cold weather.

Artemus Ward.

james Parton the noted author, in an
article on Charles Browne "Artemus
Ward" closes thus, and he gives good ad-
vice to young men:
| thought | ought not to conclude this
article without letting the reader know
why this bright and genial spirit is no
longer here to add to the worlds amuse-
ment. Well, this was the reason: Wher-
ever he lectured, whether in New England,
California or London, there was sure to be
knot Of young fellows to gather around
him, and go home with him to his hotel,
order supper, and spend half the night in
telling stories and singing songs. To any
man this will be fatal in time, but when
the mighty carouse follows an evening
performance before an audience, and if
succeeded by railway journey the next
day, the waste of vitality is fearfully
rapid. Five years of such life finished
poor Charles Browne. He died in Lon
don in 1867, aged thirty-three years, and
he now lies buried at the home of his
childhood in Maine.
"He was not deep drinker. He was
not man of strong appetite. 1t was the
nights wasted in conviviality which his
system needed for sleep, that sent him to
his grave forty years before his time.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1873-05-03

The VALUE OF NEwspAPER.-Dr.
Franklin remarked that man often gets
two dollars for the one he spends inform
ing his mind. A man eats a pound Of
sugar and ii is gone; the information he
gets from newspaper is treasured up to
be enjoyed anew, and to be used whenever
occasion or inclination calls for it. A
newspaper is not the wisdom of man, or
two men--it is the wisdom of the age, and
of the past ages too. A family without a
newspaper is always behind the time in
general information; besides, they can
never think of much to talk about And
then there are the little ones growing up
withouta any taste for reading. Who, then,
would be without newspaper-and who
would read one without paying for it2

The Animals of Australia.

Australia Is altogether deheient IN sensa-
tional wild beasts The iguana is perhaps
the most startling in appearance. He is a
huge lizard, with huge body and very
fat tail. | saw one shot which was five
feet in length, and which weighed, ] should
think, over twenty pounds. They are said
to be as good as chickens; but / never
ate one or came across any one who had
done so. They live among trees, and are
often to be seen upon the branches The
opossum-" up gum tree"-where he is
always to be found seems to be the most
perseyering aboriginal inhabitant of the
country He does not reccde before civil
lization, but addicts himself to young cab
bages, and is nuisance. As the blacks
die out, there is no one to eat him, and he
is prolific He sleeps soundly, and is very
easy to kill with a dog that will set him
for the hollow, halfdead, crumbling gum
trees are full of him. But there is no fun
in killing him, for he neither fights nor
runs away The kangaroo is so well
known, as are also the wallibi and paddy
melon which seem to be kangaroos in a
state of dwindling nature, that but little
need be said about them here That they
run only on two legs, and carry their
young in pouches every child has learned
from his picture books They are still
very numerous in many parts of the coun-
try. | have come upon herds, in which
hundreds have been congregated together
but they are more frequently met by tkrees
and fours. In some districts they are in
creasing in number, because there are no
longer black men to cat them. The dingo
or wild dog is the squatter's direst enemy.
He comes down by night from holes in
the hills or out of dense scrubs, and de-
stroys the lambs and drives the sheep. The
squatter attempts to rid himself of the
dingo by poison, and consequently, strych-
nine is as common in a squatter's house as
castor oil in nursery. On many large
runs carts are continually being taken
round with bats to be set on the paths Of
the dingo. In smaller establishments the
squatter or his head man goes about with
strychnine in his pocket and Jumps Of
meat tied up in handkerchief. Hence
it comes to pass that the use Of shep-
herds dog is impossible, unless he be
muzzled. But the dingo likes lambs bet.
ter than bait, and the squatters sometime:
are broken-hearted 1t is impossible to
omit all mention of the emu in a book on
Australia. They are now becoming very
rare, even on pastoral ground many miles
from the seacoast. have been taken out
emu hunting, but | never saw wild emu
| was told that it takes very good, fast
and lasting horse to run an emu down
especially as the poor bird in its last strug
gle, makes its fastest running. They Dc
not attempt to aid themselves with theil
wings, but toddle along with their long
legs, ever keeping straight line.
