THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION,
The Noblest OF American Charities
It's History and Organization.

This association which has la
bored so successfully aud done SO
much to relieve the sick and ease
the sufferings Of the dying, was
originally instituted in 1891. 1t is
an institution of nearly forty years
growth, and had its start first out
Of the direful necessities OF the peo-
rle of New Orleans, and has ever
since maintained its position as
chief nurse and conservator of the
sick throughout tho Southwest du-
ring all seasons Of general or epi-
demic sickness. The association
was first organized in 1887. Its
original corporators, as the New
Orleans Times informs US, were
Thomas N. Morgan, J. w. An
drews, G. Kumsheed, J. d. Breed
love, and p. w. Leslie. These gen.
tlemen, most of whom have passed
away off the stage of action, were
true philanthropists. They achiev-
ed a great deal of good in their
day. There Is tradition that rs
far back as 1888 the principle
which animates the association was
realized, in New Orleans by four
young men, clerks in different bank
ing houses of that city, who CON-
bined together for the nursing of
the sick, but the distinct organiza-
tion was not effected until some few
years afterwards. Since that time
the Howard Association has been
an active agency Of relief. There
is scarcely house in any part Of
New Orleans where the infection
penetrates but has sacred tradition
of sickness tended, ofpain assuaged,
or death-bed softened, by the minis
trations Of that grand Paternity
81. Louis Times.

"
RuHs,

The fashion of wearing wide ruffs
is revived; but we trust they will
not attain to the dimensions of the
ruffs Of the Elizabethan age. The
wearer of the ruff was then, it is
said, in a state Of ceascless agony,
lest its fine infexibility should be
broken or injured, and its bewired
and starched circumference should
have a fall. The Elizabethan dame
drew back from all who approached
too near, crying, "Not so close; thy
breath will draw my ruff" Aud it
was almost rs venturcsome to clasp
her in an embrace, as. to clasp cir
cular saw. The chief utensil for
keeping ruffs done up was the fork
ing stick OF steel, which Antolyucus
had among his wares. By the aid
Of this forking-stick, heated in the
fire, the quills of the ruff were iron
ed into the exact symetry, which
was the glory Of the belle of the pc
riod. The fashion of wearing ruffs
began about 1876, according to
Stowe; and, under the fostering care
of starch and forking-sticks, they
were worn to the length of a quar-
ter of yard. The bellies were not
the only ones who were adorned by
these immense surcingles, for the
dandies ofthat day also assumed
the ruff in it's largest proportions,
as the portraits Of the ancient cava-
liers attest. This vast structure
Of gauze was styled in England, "the
French ruff; but the French in re.
taliation named it "the English
monster" Queen Elizabeth, whose
throat was very wrinkled and yell
low with age, wore the broadest
and stiffest ruff of any one in Eu-
rope, excepting the queen OF Ma
varre; and her ruffs were composed
of the finest embroideries, enriched
with gold and silver threads, and
even precious stones were intrndu-
ced into them. She employed, we
are told, endless yards Of .ut-work
and purple needle-work, lace, and
lace Of gold and of silver, enriched
with pearls, and bugles and span
giles, in the fabrication Of her three
piled ruff. But she would not per-
any Of her subjects to adorn them
selves in similar manner, and or
dered grave citizens to stand at the
gates Of London and lay hands on
the wearers Of all ruffs beyond a
certain width, in order to show her
prerogative TO dress more absurdly
than any of her subjects.

A correspondent writing from a
Jersey camp meeting, tells the fol-
lowing: Many people sleep in the
same tent here, being separated by
a partition. A young Methodist
fellow from Camden had become
quite interested in a pretty daugh-
ter of religious farmer. Last
night while a dozen Of cold hearted
fellows were trying to sleep, they
heard him say in low sweet voice:
"Now Caroline, dear, let me seal
the VOW, dol" "No, James, l can
not. What would my father and
mother say?" replied the sweet gir-
lish voice. "But Caroline, you
have promised to be mine-now
let US seal the vow, let us, do let US,
let us do-wont you? Do kiss me. !"
"No James, l cannot, oh! l cannot. !"
In a moment the tent partition par
ted, and big whiskered brother
who wanted sleep, shouted: "For
Gods sake, Carrie, let Jim. seal the
vow. He'll keep us awake all
night il you don't. The vow was
sealed.

ter's night when she and the ccntu-
ry were young together. The sun
was lost at 8 o'clock; the snowy
night came down like a white sheet
that tapped around the house, beat
at the windows with its edges, and
al last wrapped it in a close en-
brace. In the middle of the night
they thought they heard above the
wind voice crying "Christus!
Christus!" in a foreign tongue.
They opened the door-no easy
task in the north wind that pressed
its shoulders against it. But moth
ing was to be seen but the drifting
snow. The next morning dawned
ON fences hidden, and a landscape
changed and obliterated with drift.
During the day they again heard
a cry Of "Christus!" this time faint
and hidden like a child's voice.
They searched in vain, the dritted
snow hid it's secret. On the third
day they broke a path to the fence,
and then heard the cry distinctly.
Digging down they found the body
of o mana Spanish sailor, dark
and bearded, with earrings in his
ears. AS they stood gazing down
at his cold and pulseless figure, the
cry Of "Christus". rose again upon
the wintry air, and they fled in ter
ror to the house And then, one of
the children, bolder than the rest,
knelt down and opened the dead
mans rough pea, jacket and found
what think you?--a little blue and
green parrot nesting against his
breast. 1t was the bird that had
echoed mechanically the last des.
pairing cry Of the lite that was given
to save it. 1t was the bird that
ever after, amid outlandish oaths
end wild sailor songs that l fear
often shocked the pure ears of its
gentle mistress and brought scandal
into the Jerseys, still retained that
one wierd and mournful cry.
The sun meanwhile was sinking
behind the steadfast range beyond,
and l could not help feeling that |
must depart with my wants unsatis-
fed. l had brought away no his
torlc fragment; l absolutely knew
little or nothing new regarding
George Washington. l had been
addressed variousIy by the names
of the different members of the
family who were dead and forgot
ten. l had stood for an hour in the
past, vet l had not added to my his
torical knowledge, nor the practi-
cal benefit Of your readers. lspoke
once more of Washington, and she
replied with a reminiscencc Of Per-
kins.
Stand forth, o Josiah W. Perkins,
of Basking RIDGE, New Jersey.
Thou vast Of little account in thy
life, | warrant; thou didst not even
feel the greatness OF thy day
and time; thou didst criticise
thy superiors; thou vast small and
narrow in thy ways; thy very name
and grave are unknown and un-
cared for. But thou vast kind to a
woman who survived thee, and 10,
thy name is again spoken of men,
and for a moment lifted above thy
bctters! BRET HARTE.
Bashing Ridge, " H., Oct. 8, 1873.

The glasses are now taken back
to the tool and the polishing pro-
cess is recommended, only pressing
upon those parts of the glass where
it has to be ground away. The
glass is then tried again, and again
returned to the polishcr. The de.
fects in sraall glass can thus bo
polished away in few days, but as
the size is increased the process be-
comes more and more tedious, and
the difficulties Of Judging what the
defects are, and of handling the
glass on the polisher SO as to dinin-
ish them, increase enormously. 1t
is in this tentative process of grad
ually working out every defect of
figure, and even in compensating
defects in the uniformity Of the
glass itself by suitable change Of
figure, that the Clarks have exhibit
ed their skill.

If you buy your coffee already
Drowned, says correspondent Of
the Country Gentleman, always
brown it over. This develops a bet
ter flavor, and increases the strength.
The reason is that the desirable
qualities are made available by the
heat, but 60 back again gradually,
and may be brought out again by
heat as before. In consequence of
this, coffee should always be brown
ed, or Drowned over, at the time it
is wanted to be used. Then it is
fresh, with the flavor and strength
developed. 1t will benefit it to keep
it corked up tight after it is brown
ed. 1t should never be left exposed
to the air in this condition, as it will
lose its strength, and absorb odors
that come in contact with it. Hence
the grocery taint Of the coffee of
commerce, both the Drowned and
the unbrowned, as both have the
property of absorbing, being good
disinfectants. In purchasing get
the raw material. The Drowned is
often an inferior or defective article,
colored to hide the defect. The
best way is to get sample and test
it. If fgood, secure quantity and
keep in dry place and pure air.
using it as wanted. Mocha and ia
va are the best kinds. Grind coffee
fine, or, better still, pound it in a
mortar. This crushes and reduces
it to condition to take in water
the better, so as to extract its sub
stance, which it will readily do
when finely reduced; else more or
less Of the strength will remain un-
obtained. have experimental up
on this, and taken coarse ground
coffee after it had passed through
the coffee pot, rcdricd it, and made
q fair cup out of it. You not only
get all, or nearly all, the strength,
but you get it readily, so that the
faint Of the vessel is little percepti-
BILE; if the vessel is Of stone or
earthen, not at all.
To avoid long standing in the
vessel to settle, add the white OF an
egg and little water to the ground
coffee before it is stepped, and mix
well; leave not dry dust. Let the
quantity of water and egg be sufi-
cient to moisten, and no more. If
more is added, the egg will cook;
and as it holds the coffee, the water
cannot well reach 1t, and you will
have weak cup of coffee, tasting
OF the egg. 1t is nice thing to APP
ply the egg properly; but when so
done, it will clarity the liquid, ma
king it sparkling and clear like
wine. Never, never boil coffee.
When will people learn to heed this
important Injunction? 1t has been
preached time out of mind, but
seems to do no good. Look at the
amount of poor coffee that is made
with its strength boiled away, what
is not left in the coarsely ground
mass. The better part is readily
thrown off by boiling-the extract
i've matter, much Of which is objec-
tionable, taking its place. Steep,
then, as you would tea, bringing to
the boiling point, but not exceeding
it. A few minutes will suffice, stir
ring in the meantime the surface
occasionally, so as to expedite the
settling.

Making Telescope Glasses.

In Professor Newcomb's article
on the new telescope at Washing
ton in Scribner's for November oc-
ours this account of the process
employed by the manufacturers,
Messrs. Alvan Clark & Som, in
grinding. polishing and perfecting
the immense object glass: The
tools are very simple-round plates
Of cast iron, about three feet in di-
ameter, followed out to suit all the
curves of the lens. They have
somewhat the appearance of huge
shallow saucers, or more nearly
still, of the shallow iron drinking
cups attached to pumps or hydrats
in some of our cities. Three OF
these tools are necessary, one near
ly fiat, for the inner surface of the
flint glass, one convex, for Its outer
surface, and one concave, for the
crown glass. The surface of the
tool is covered with coarse emery
and water, the glass is laid upon it,
and the grinding is carried on by
sliding the glass back and forth on
the tool. While sliding, the glass
is slowly turned round SO that the
grinding strokes occur successivcly
in every direction on the glass,
while, at the same time the opera
tors continually move around in
the other direction, SO that the
strokes are made successively in
every direction on the tool. The
result Of these combined motions is
that every inequality, either on the
glass or the tool, is gradually worn
away, and beth are reduced to
portions of nearly perfect spheres.
When this result is attained, the
grinding is continued with emery
Of continually greater degrees Of
fincness, until the surface becomes
quite smooth.
The next operation is that of pol
ishing. The whole tool Is covered
with thin coating of pitch, which
is pressed while still warm into
the proper shape. 1t is then cover
ed with layer of water and the
polishing rouge, and the glass is
again laid upon it, and kept in mo-
tion in the same way as in the fine
grinding. Thus each surface of the
two glasses is speedily brought to
high polish.
The operations we have thus far
described require no extraordinary
skill on the part of the workman.
With little patience and practice
almost anyone can make himself a
better glat ! than any known before
the invention of the achromatie tcle-
scope. But such glass would by no
means serve the purpose of astrono-
my now, and the.chances of glass
ofany size being exactly right on the
first trial are very slight. The skill
Of the optician is now called into
play to rectify the figure. Two for
midable difficulties have to be over
come, to find what the defects Of
the glass are, and where they arc
situated, and then to remove them
without introducing others. 10
find the defects, the glasses are put
together, set up on edge, facing
luminous point at a distance equal
to ten or fifteen times the focal
length. The image of the point
formed in the focus OF the glass is
then examined with an cye-piece Of
high power, or the eye is placed ex-
actly in the focus, and the aspect of
the glass noted as the light from the
point paises through it. By these
means the skillful optician can
Judge where the curves Of tho
glasses are too great, and where
too small.

Why People Don't GO to Church.

Why do not people 60 to Church
more? One thinks it is this, and
another thinks it is that. You can
open a church in a hoyel, and let a
voice go forth that has the power of
touching men, and you will find it
crowded and thronged. You do not
want the cobs that used to have corn.
That which man wants is sappy
food, refreshing food. Men are will
ling to be dealt with, to have their
sins flashed in their faces, willing
to have their consclences aroused,
but do not want to be handled; they
want a preacher that takes hold OF
them in some way, and if he can do
more than that; if he can give them
that which every man consciously
needs-some men have aspiration,
and some more indulge in superb
cial thought-and ifhe can give him
strength to bear his bnrden, they are
pleased and benefited. Men that
are sore in life; men who are in sor-
row; women who don't know how
to bring up their children; who are
continually having more and more
added to their flock; people who
want to know where the next hod
of coal is coming from; people who
are afraid of the Sheriff; men who
are prickcd with the ten thousand
netties of human lite-they come to
church and hear a long discussion
on the fall of Adam. Well, that is
not inopportunc, but still they're SO
fiat themselves that they feel as If
they would like to know something
that deadens the struggle that is 60
ing on within them, they want some
one who will take part with them, a
minister who brings God down to
the side Of men, not as an everlas.-
ing condemner, but one who brings
God down as q present help in time
of trouble.-Henry Ward Beech.
