Engshmsn are always laughing at Uncle

and Queries" says: II, who am a native of
West Cornwall (Eng.), have always found
that l could read and understand the 'Bigiow
Papers with ease, although l have known
many East countrymen unable to do so. In
fact, the 'Biglow Papers appeared to me,
when first read them, nearly pure West

The NECESSARY BASIS OF CULTURE is
not money, but content-content with out
ward things, just as they are-content, if it
must be, with what you so paintively call a
Subordinate social position" 1t seems ex-
ceedingly trite to say that a perception of
great thoughts and great harmonies ennobles
simple no less than showy life, but one
would think you did not believe it. If the
souls of Mozart and Mendelssohn are still
alive and happy in blessing, and if they min
ster to poor mortals sometimes through the
strains that abupdantly live-as what music
lover does not love to dream ?-do you sup
pose they are particular about The locality of
the street, or the furniture of the room in
which they perform their angelic service? Oh
let us learn the grace to stand still, and re-
ceive what is given us, instead of crowdipg
and struggling after the truly bonrish fashion
of the day! 1t is this selfish and unlovely strife
to get up, up, up, which eaves no time fer
thought, no room for beauty, and no breath
for song.-Hd,Tiet Preston.

The Moon and Fuel,

curious superstition: Householders who
are laying in their stock of coal for the winter
will do well to study the moon, which is be-
lieved, in some quarters, to exercise no small
influence on fuel stacked or stored at certain
seasons. The Skye correspondent of the Corn
ish Telegraph mentions that, during the fort
night which began on the tenth OF last month,
the people of Skye were busy stacking their
peats and securing their winter firing, being
anxious to complete the operation while the
moon was waning. During the fortnight
commencing on the Oath of June, when the
moon was crescent, no real Skyeman would
stack his peats for any consideration believ-
ing that unless stacked under waning moon
the peats will give neither light nor heat when
burned. "A power of smoke is all that can
be expected from peats stacked under cres-
cent moon. In Skye the crescent is called
''fas,' and the wane ''tarradh,' and under
these two terms the moon not only exercises
great influence over peats, bnt also over many
other things. In some parts of the Highlands
sheep, pigs, and cows are only killed in the
"las," as meat made in the ''tarradh" is sup
posed to be good for nothing but shrinking"
when in the pot.

NEW USES OF MILK. Milk, it is now found
out, pint being given every few hours, will
check violent stomach-aches and incipient
cholera. Only you mustn't boil it, but heat ii
sufficiently to be agreeably warm. Typhoid
fever. cruel as tiger, is disease for which
doctors have never been able to do much.
Now we are told that milk is an excellent
medicine to give in such cases. 1t 1ourishes,
promotes sleep, wards off delrium, and soothes
the bowels. The patient both in typhoid and
scarlet fever is to have all the milk he wants.
What with Aderney and other dairies, and
the new medical discoveries, this peaceful flu
id is really looking up.

The LAB iLITY OF EDITORS TO THEIR
FRIENDS ?-What is the liability of an edi-
tor to his personal friends9 Strictly speaking
he should have none: should attack his own
father if he disapproves his speeches, or lash
his wlfes last book, if he thinks it rubbish.
This is, no doubt, abstractly true, as it is also
abstractly true-to steal an epigram from an
Australian who once wrote pamphlet on the
sub bject-that an editor should live in Gel
lar; but in practice men will not COM
ply with either condition, and such de-
mands would drive all men with hearts and
tempers out of the profession. 1t is never
theless, excessively difficult to find rule
that shall be morally sufficient, for silence,
though it will meet the case of book, un-
less of the first Importance, will not meet
that of grave political action. We suspect
that in this case the practice OF Parliament is
still the best guide, and that the journalist is
bound, as the statesman would be bound, to
do his duty and take the consequences. He
might be little more gentle in his language,
little more apologetic in his tone, but the
attack must not be deprived of its efficiency
for any personal consideration whatsoever

The newest fancy for arranging sashes
worn with evening dresses is t, drape them
in half circle in front letting them swing low
around the edge of the over-skirt apron; they
are then caught to the waist on each side and
tied in long loose bow with hanging ends on
the left. Wateied ribbon sashes draled in
this way are admired for muslin dresses, and
garlands of flowers ale similarly arranged.
Velvet sashes are rather heavy for this style,
but are worn nevertheless.
