Wherefore Old Maids.

Seven reasons why old maids have
not married: Some cling TO family name
don't want to merge into the Smith
family. Some prize their beauty too
high-don't find a purchaser. Some
are too literary. Literary women should
not marry; Mrs. Hemans found the
feeding of five hungry boys uncongenial
to her taste; Mrs. Sigourney was un-
happy in her domestic relations; Mrs.
Fanny kemble preferred to be the hero
inc of her own tragedy, "Francis the
First" than to be Mrs. Butler the
second; Hannah Moore, Miss Edge
worth, Miss Sedgwick, whose books
have made the world better than they
found it, did well to remain single the
same may be said of Alice and Phoebe
Cary, Louisa Alcott, Elizabeth Phelps,
Emily Faithful, and many others.
These are welded to their works. Like
Michael Angelo, they say. sour works
shall be our children" Miss Herschel
was too much absorbed in the stars for
"sparks" below; Miss Mitchell preferred
comets to bachelors Anna Dickinson
wouldn't hitch on even to Senator.
Miss Anthony marry? Marry a man
No, never unless an executioner. Then
all the tyrant men should have one
neck, placed on one block, and she hold
the axe. Some are too religious these
are the Ann Lees, Ann Hutchinsons,
the Joans of Arc that have set the world
ON fire with religious enthusiasm. Some
are too much absorbed in philanthropic
work-Florence Nightingale, Miss Bar
ton, Miss Carpenter, Dorothy Dix.
Some have no knack to win a lover.
Lovers are often fools, caught with
chaff. Some are too modest modest
little violets hid in the lowland meadow.
Some are too bold, too tonguey; they
rattle like an alarm clock; they make a
soldier of man if he will only enlist.

Fidelity i'm Little Things.

Let us remember that God looks in
our actions only for the motive. The
world judges rs by appearance; God
counts for nothing what is most dazzling
to men. What he desires is q pure
intention, true docility, and a sincere
self-renunciation. All this is exercised
more frequently, and in a way that tries
US more severely, on common than on
great occasions. Sometimes we cling
more tenaciously to a trihe than to a
great interest. 1t would give no more
pain to relinquish an amusement than
to bestow a great sum in charity. We
are more easily led away by little things,
because we believe them more innocent,
and imagine that We are less attached
to them; nevertheless, when God de-
prives us of them, we soon discover
from the pain of privation how excessive
and inexcusable was our attachment to
them. The sincerity of our piety is
also impeached by the neglect of minor
duties. What probability is there that
we should not hesitate to make great
sacrifices, when We shrink from slight
ones? But what is most dangerous to
the mind is the habit it acquires of
unfaithfulness. True love to God thinks
nothing small. all that can please or
displease Him is great. 1t does not
produce constraint and weah scruples,
but it places no limits to its fidelity
it acts with simplicity, and as it is not
embarrassed with things that God has
not commanded, it never hesitates a
moment about what he does command,
whether it be great or small. l.-Fenelon.

the stove to warm and soften. Then to
every quart of milk add two well beaten
eggs, half cup Of sugar, and a hand
full of raisins or sweet dried fruit OF
any kind. Do not have your pail full,

HARD SToNEs.-The rough stones are
first cut to a plane surface by means of
a Sitting mill. This consists of thin
circular piece of iron like circular saw,
without teeth, however. the periphery
of which is covered with diamond dust.
1t is made to reyolye rapidly, and the
stone applied to its edge. The stone is
then taken to the roughing mill where
the surface is prepared for polishing.
The roughing mill consists of revolv-
ing leaden disk covered with emery.
This gives a smooth surface to the
stone, which is lastly polished at the
polishing mill. The polishing mill is a
revolving leaden disk kept covered with
rottenstone and water.

one and now another medical practi-
toner as the fancy takes them, or as
they hear of this or that astonishing
cure" that has been performed. We do
not believe in any such course. Choose
some one physician, and stick to him.
There is a great deal in the doctors
coming to know your family constitu-
ton and peculiarities, the action Of
your system-for each individual is in
measure different-under remedies,
your temperament and disposition.
Moreover, don't expect miracles of your
physician. What Aan can do, he un-
doubtedly will do. e., if he is at all
worthy OF confidence. Medical science
even yet is very largely q cropping in the
dark. And do MT forget to pay his bills
promptly. He is at least as much en-
titled to prompt compensation for his
services as your butcher or grocer.
Your gratitude at his care is desirable,
but it wont feed him or his children.

ICE-MAKING MACHINES. The making
of ice by artificial means is matter of
rapidly increasing Importance, not only
on account of the increase it affords in
our domestic comforts. but also on ac-
count of its usefulness in many manu-
featuring branches. The ice-making
machine has already been of great SER
vice in breweries, as it renders the
brewer independent of the supply of
natural ice, while the ice machine may
also be used for the direct cooling Of
the air and the wort. Besides, ice made
artificially by machinery is colder and
therefore harder than natural ice, O fact
which has clearly been proved by ex-
periments lately made, when equal
weights of both artifcially and naturally
produced ice were placed in warm water
of equal temperature, the result being
that the artificial ice took more than
twice the time for melting than was re-
quired by the natural ice.

EMBALMING THE DEAD.-For the fol-
lowing concise description of the "Bru-
netti Process" for the preservation of
the dead we are indebted to the Journal
Of Applied Chemistry. The steps are as
follows: 1. The circulatory system is
cleansed by washing with cold water
till it issues quite clear from the body
This may occupy from two to five hours
2. Alcohol is injected so as to abstract
as much water as possible. This occu-
pies about a quarter of an hour. 3.
Ether is then injected to abstract the
fatty matters. This occupies from two
to ten hours. 4. A strong solution of
tannin is then injected. This occupies
for inhibition two to ten hours. 5. The
body is then dried in current of warm
air passed over heated chloride of cal
cium. This may occupy two to five
hours. The body is thus perfectly pre-
served, and resists decay. The Italians
exhibit specimens which are as hard as
stone, retain the shape perfectly and
are equal to the best wax models.
In this process it will be noticed that
those substances most prone to decay
are removed and the remaining portions
are converted by the tannin into a SUBJ
stance resembling leather, and thus
effectively protected against decompo-
sition for years.
