proves that there are noble exceptions to the

OF the principal examiners in the Patent Office
went TO pass his school vacation at sn uncle's in
Ohio, near the river of the same name. There
was but one restriction on the scope of the young
mans amuse ments. Horses, dogs, rifles, shot
guns, &c, &C., were freely allowed as compan-
ions OF his amusements, but as his cousins we're
as fond eff the water as 50 many ducks, he was
requested to shun the boat which the cousins
were wont to use in their aquatic excursions.
He promised faithfully, like the dutiful lad he
IL, and departed rejoicing. A recent letter TO
his father graphically describes various excur-
sicDs, and the "good times'' he had enjoyed;
among the very iset, one in which the cousins
had desired to visit the Kentucky shore. "rAsy

His dress was semi-clerical, and as he held

Cash Instead of Credit.

If the lesson could be permanently
learned that the cash system is better than
the credit system, all the suffering entailed
by this monetary crisis would not be a
dear price to pay for it.
People who buy for cash always buy
cheaper than those who buy on credit.
They buy, too, more closely, and select
more carefully.
Purchases which are paid for when
they are made are limited more exactly to
the purchasers wants. There is nothing
like having to count the money right out
when the article is bought to make people
economical. The amount Of Indebtedness
incurred is not much considered when the
payday is afar off,
Persons who do all their business on a
cash basis know just where they stand and
what they can afford. Consequently they
never find aftcr-occasion for regretting, in
turn Of times, that they have INDUCED
in this luxury or that, which they would
have foregone had they seen what was
coming.
Real wants are few and can be gratifed
for cash. At all events, they should al
ways be limited to what can be paid in
cash.
How much of anxiety, how many sleep
less hours, how many heart-burnings, dis.
appointments, and regrets would be avoid
ed il this rule were always strictly ad-
hered to.

MoURNING.-0ne need not speak Of the
mourning of the heart--that will take care
Of itself | speak Of the external signs.
There is strange difference among the
nations. Among several of the most
advanced people, black dress has been
chosen. The great expense, the depressing
influence upon the spirits, and the bad
effect Of this color upon the bodily condi-
tions, have been observed aud urged against
this method of display
Black is the worst color for winter and
for summer, for dry weather and for a
damp atmosphere Altogether, the custom
of announcing grief through black clothes
seems to be the worst method ever devised.
II is gratifying to hear from intelligent
people, as one may not unfrequently, that
under no circumstances would they display
a mourning dress. will not say that ii
is fiat contradiction of the Christian faith.
| will not say that it savors of ostentation.
| will not say that there is frequently a
painful incongruity between the mourning
dress and the conduct of the wearer; but
| will say that black mourning dress is
unphysiological, that it casts shadow over
the spirits Of the wearer, and constantly
reminds her Of the dead friend, and in
other ways tends toward depressing the
general health and tone, can conceive
of a grief which should try to express
with Grape. By instinct, should avoid
all such announcements. And then, when
the prescribed year has passed, the taper
ing of in the shades of black, and the
final bursting out in brilliant colors again,
is SO absurd, that it seems quite unneces-
sary to expose ones self to the necessity Of
advertising this graduated dying out Of
ones sorrow

The following is one Of the most affect

Gonfalonieri's account Of his imprisonment
in the Fortress of Spielberg above the
town of Brunn, in Morayia, for some polit-
ical ofense, in the reign Of the Emperor
Francis, Of Austria, who died in 1885:
II am an old man now, but by fifteen
years my soul is younger than my body.

Impure Water.

Public attention cannot be too often
called to the danger of using impure water
in households The origin of typhoid fe-
yer, which so frequently runs through
families in city and country, is oftener in
wells and springs than is supposed In
cities it is easy to understand, when aque-
duct water is not supplied, how wells may
become contaminated, but for many it is
moi so easy to see how wells in the country
among the hills or in the green velleys, can
become SO impure as to be sources Of dis
ease.
Since the general introduction Of aque-
duct water into large cities, typhoid fever
has become more common in the country
than in the city, and this disease is GER
tainly zymotic, or one which results from
poison introduced into the blood. Wells
in the country are very liable to become
contaminated with house sewage, as they
are generally placed, for convenience, very
near the dwelling, and the waste liquids
thrown out upon the ground find easy ac-
cess by percolation through the soil to the
water. The instances Of such contamina-
nation which have come to our notice, and
which gave rise to fevers, are numerous.
The gelatinous matter, which is often found
covering the stones in wells affected BY
sewage, is true fungoid growth, and
highly poisonous when introduced into the
system. 1t is undoubtedly concerned in
the production of typhoid fever. How it
acts it is difficult to determine, but it is at
least conceivable that the spores of the
fungus may get into the blood and bring
about changes after the manner of yeast
in beer. These spores, as Is well known,
develope rapidly by kind of budding pro-
cess, and but little time passes before the
whole circulation becomes filed with them,
giving rise to abnormal heat aud general
arrangement, called fever These fungoid
or confervoid growths are always present
in waters rendered impure by house drain
age, and great caution should be used in
maintaining well waters free from all sour
ces of pollution.--Bostoa Jour. Of Chem.

Fine Fura.

The skins of animals are now and have
ever been promineit articles Of trade in all
countries where warm clothing is required.
The Continent of North. America has
contributed an immense supply for the
general demand, during the last two CEN
turies. A difference Of opinion, wide as
the atlantic, exists as to the comparative
value Of Furs-the Americans prefering
those of Europe, while Europeans seem to
most fancy those Of America. The kind
of skins exported from this country are,
Muskrat, Beaver, Otter, Silver Fox, Cross
Fox, Red Fox, White Fox, Marten, Mink,
Sea Otter, Lynx, Black Bear, Brown Bear,
Gray and White Bear, Racccon, Wolf,
Wolverine, Skunk, Wild Cat, Opossum.
Beside these Of American origin, the prin-
cipal ones known In trade, are the Russian
Sable, everywhere esteemed as the most
beautiful and useful Fur the Arctic Zone
produces; the Baum or Pine Marten, the
Stone Marten; Ermine, Norwegian Fur I;
the whitest known, though Ia summer the
animal Is dingy brown; the European
Fitch or Polecat, Fur remarkable for
durability and odor, which Is difficult TO
eounteract; the Tartar Sable Of which
the tail Is used exclusively for artists best
pencils the Europe Gray Hare and the
Chinchilla, Scath American Rabbit, all
these have admirers and have their day in
fashion. The skin that Is most extensively
used Is that Of the Siberian Squirrel, Of
these little animals not much larger than
one Of our common Red Weasels, Is, ,0O0,-

color varies from peariy gray to dark blue

NICKEL IN CoINAGR.-The demand
for nickel, the metal used with copper in
the manufacture Of one cent pieces. and
in the three and FIVE cent pieces, has con-
siderably exceeded the supply, and the
manufacturers of the alloy known as Ger
man silver have petitioned the Parliament
Of the German Empire not to still further
increase the demand BY tho introduction
Of nickel money into that country. The
cost Of German silver, which contains
about one-third Of its volume of nickel,
has gone up nearly sl2 per 220 pounds
within single month. The aggregate
annual product of nickel exclusive of the
American product does not exceed 600
tons, Of which English industries alone
use one-half. IL Is used In the token
coinage of this country, Belgium and
Switzerland, and the manufacturers say
that IL Germany should issue q similar
coinage the supply would not be sufficient
to enable manufacturers to use it in the
productive of cheap imitation silver-ware
