ON THE CHOICE OF COLoRs.

An upholstcrer should be very choice
in the colors of stufs he adopts for diff
erent varieties of wood. 1t is mistake
to cushion mahogany chair with scar
let. That color is too bright, and the
mahogany beside it loses its brilliancy
and becomes like walnut wood. Many
people, however. who love the color GRIM
son, insist upon putting it with mahog-
any. In these cases, to counteract the
glaring effect of the association, it is we'll
to put a black or a green braid OIL the
border where the cloth and the wood
come in contact; or if not this, then an
edging of yellow silk, or better still, of
gold lace with gilt nails. Those who
desire to paper their rooms anew will do
well to remember that on red. crimson,
and amaranth colored ground, black
looks green. In the same way, black
upon green loses all its lustre, and vice
versa. Orange upon red hurts the eye
sight; violet upon blue looks washed out:
blue upon green looks spinach color by
candle light; and gray, as we have al
ready said, when sorted with green, very
often comes out pink. 1t having become
custom nowadays to print advertise
ments for dead walls in all the colors of
the rainbow we may tell those specula-
tors who are anxious that their puffs
should be seen as far off as possible, that
the rule to follow is, that in all cases
the color of the letters should be CON-
Elemental to the ground on which they
are printed. Black on a white ground,
violet on yellow, red on green, blue on
orange will strike the eye at once. A
word now to gardeners. Nothing is less
brilliant than flower beds in which the
: only colors to be seen are blue and white
nothing is more gaudily ugly than ;
garden stocked with profusion of yel
low and little else. 1t is very unsatis
factory also to find flowers of the sam'
color but of different shades placed nea
each other; and all these errors Of tast
should be avoided. In order that gar
den may be snowy and attractive, blu
flowers should be placed near to dar
yellow or orange violets next to yellow

A STRANGE DIsEASE.-Intense ra-
diation of heat in the great desert of
Sahara produces extraordinary effect
on insects as animals and men.
When a caravan starts out to traverse
that wide waste of desolation, flies
follow on in prodigious multitudes,
attracted, no doubt, by odor from the
animals, but they soon drop dead by
intensified heat. Fleas burrowing in
hair, straw or sacks are killed off
rapidly. But the most singular of all
is the malady to which men are Incl
dent after being exposed short time
to burning sands and "A vertical sun in
this arid and life-forsaken region. 1t
is called ragle, and is a kind of drain
fever The stricken traveller is de
lighted, amused and made intensely
happy by exhibitions of fantastic
forms. He sees mirages, palm trees
groups of tents, sheeny mountains
sparkling cascades and misty form:
dancing delightfully."- before his en-
tranced vision. From all that can bt
gathered upon the subject, it appear
that certain condition of atmosphere
wholly free from moisture, with in
tense solar heat, produces an effect on
the brain very similar to hasheesh
Both exalt the nervous system, ant
speedily destroy all desire to exist
deprived of the natural excitation o

For MARRIED PEopLE.-"The last
word is the most dangerous of Internal
machines. Husbands and wives should
no more strive to get it than they shoald
struggle to get possession of lighted
bombshell
Married people should study each
others weak points, as skaters look out
for the weak parts of the ice in order to
keep off them.
Ladies who marry for love should re-
member that the union Of angels with
women has been forbidden since the
flood
The wife is the sun of the social sys-
tenn. Unless she attracts there is moth
ing to keep heavy bodies, like husbands,
from flying off into space.
Wives, be lenient to the martial ci-
gar. The smoke always hides the most
disagreeable part of the battle.
The wife who would properly dis
charge her duties must never have soul
"above buttons
Notwithstanding the assertions Of
mathematicians, the marriage ring is
circle which husband and wife have the
problem set them of making square.
The liberties of England have beer
won by mutual concessions. Let th'
husband who would acquire the priv
lege of asking friends to dinner withou
notice. remember this when his wifi
hints new bonnet. The wife's wan
is the husbands opportunity.

BEAUTY OF OLD PEoPLE.-Men
and women make their own beauty or
their own ugliness. Lord Lytton
speaks in one of his novels of man
who was uglier than he had any busi-
ness to be; and if he could but read it,
every human being carries his life in
his face, and is good looking or the
reverse as that life has been good or
evil. On our features the fine chisel
of thought and emotion are eternally
at work. Beauty is not the monopoly
of blooming young men and of white
and-pink maidens. There is a slow
growing beauty that only comes to
perfection in old age. Grace belongs
to no period of life, and goodness inn
proves the longer it exists. We have
seen sweeter smiles from lip of
seventy than upon lip of seventeen.
There is the beauty ofyouth and the
beauty of hollness-a beauty much
more seldom met, and more frequent
ly found in the arm chair by the fire
with grandchildren around the knee
than in the ballroom or promenade
Husband and wife, who have fought
the world, side by side, who have made
common stock of JOY and sorrow, and
aged together, are not unfrequently
found curiously alike in personal ap
pearances, and in pitch and tone o
voice-just as twin pebbles on thu
beach, exposed to the same tidal in
fuences, are each others second SELF
He has gained feminine something
which brings his manhood into full
relief. She has gained masculin
something which acts as foil to he
womanhood.

HARD AND Sort WATERFALL house
wives may not know how materially the
effects of hard and soft water differ in
the cooking of certain vegetables
While one species of vegetables require
hard or soft water as the case may be,
another species becomes sensibly deteri-
grated by it. For instance, peas or beans
cooked in hard water containing lime or
gypsum will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable case
inc. In soft water they will boil tender
and lose certain raw, rank taste which
they retain in hard water. Many veg
etables Gas onions) boil nearly tasteless
in soft water, because all the flavor is
dissolved out. The addition of salt Of
ten checks this, as in the case of onions,
causing the vegetables to retain their pc.
culiar favoring principles, beside much
nutritious matter, which might be lost
in soft water. Thus it appears that the
salt hardens the water to a degree. Fol
extracting juices from meat to make ;
broth or soup, soft water unsalted ant
cold at first is best, for it much more
readily penetrates the tissues; but fo
boiling meats where the juices should b.
retained, put salt in while it is boiling
SO as to seal up the pores at once.
