and no man, on robbery intent, are con.

and Mrs. Slatterly had retired, SIatterly,
who has been learning ventriloquism
thought he would amuse himself and scare
his wife by gentle yowling and make the
sound go under the bed. Mrs. Slatterly
instantly sat up and exclaimed
"Josiah, 1 do believe there is a cat in
this room"
"0h, nonsense" gruuted slatterly and
then he made the noise again.

"Oh, 20 TO sleep, Matilda, said Stat
tsrly, II don't hear anything. There's no
cat about. "
Then Josiah, with his mouth beneath
the covers, uttered louder screech than
before.
"Well, if you won't clear that cat out,
you brute, l win, said Mrs. Slatterly.
So she reached over, picked up Josiah 3
boots, and put them on in bed in order to
protect her feet and ankles from the infu-
rated animal. Then she took Slatterly's 8
cane and stopped down to sweep it taround
beneath the bed. just as she did so, Jo-

Bishop Berkeley published work "On
the Virtues Of Tar Water" and later in
life--just before his death--he published a
sequel, entitled, Further Thoughts On
Tar Water" The common way Of max
ing it was to put quart of tar into q
gallon Of water, stir il thoroughly, let ii
stand forty-eight hours, then pour off the
water. A half-pint in the morning on
rising and halfpint on going to bed was
the common dose. In those days il was
almost as common to call for glass Of tar
water in cofee-house as dish Of tea or
coffee.
It was not only regarded as sovereign
remedy for many grave diseases among
men, but was much used in treating the
diseases Of horses and cattle.
"I never knew says Bishop Berkeley,
"anything so good for the stomach as tar
water; il cures indigestion and gives a
good appetite. 1t Is an excellent medicine
in an asthma. Itimparts kindly warmth
and quick circulation to the juices, with
out heating, and is, therefore, useful not
only as a pectoral and balsamic, but also
as powerful and safe deobstruent in
cachetic and hysteric cases. As il is both
heating and diuretic, il is very good for
the gravel. | believe IL to be Of great use
in a dropsy, having known il to cure a
very bad anasarca in person whose thirst,
though very extraordinary, was in short
tune removed by the drinking Of tar
water" 3
The Bishop published his great work
"Siris, or Chain Of Philosophical Reaec-
tions and Inquiries Concerning the Virtues
Of Tar Water in the year i774.
Notwithstanding the opposition and
ridieule Of physicians, philosophers and
men Of science, tar water had an enormous
success.

How they yearn to rambie and love 10 range
Down through the vale Of the years long gone,
Up through the future that ia fast rolling on.
To-days arc dull as they wend their ways
Back to their beautiful yesterdays;
The present Is blank, as they wing their iight
To future tomorrows where all seem bright
Build them bright and beautiful home,
They'll soon grow weary and want TO roam;
Find them spot without sorrow or pain.
They may stay day but they're of again.
These hearts Of ours-how wild how wild!
They're as hard to tame as an Indians child
They're as restless as waves on the sounding sea,
Like the breeze and the birds-they nckle and free

Forever, forever they mourn and moan
Let them reycl in Joy, let them riot in cheer.
The rcyclry over, they're all tho more drear.

Like the suns brightrAy-like the summers charm
How they beam and burn how they CLEAN and glow,

And though our Decembcn melt soon into May,

Thus the hearts surface may sparkle and glow,
They're wrecks far down, they're graves below.

For what they have squandered but cannot retrieve

British Parliament relating to the South
Sea islanders is report by Captain G.
H. Simpson, Of her Majesty ship Blanche,
giving an account Of his visit last year 70
the solomon and other groups Of islands
ia the Pacific Ocean. While at Isabel
Island, from which seven women and three
men were kidnapped in 1871, Captain
Simpson, with party Of officers, went
short distance inland to visit one Of the
remarkable tree villages peculiar, he be-
lieyes, 70 this island. He found the village
built on the summit Of rocky mountain
rising almost perpendicular to a height of
300 feet. The party assembled by native
path from the interior and found the ex-
treme summit mass Of enormous rocks
standing up like castle, among which
grow the gigantic trees, in the branches Of
which the houses Of the natives are built
The stems Of these trees rise perfectly
straight and smooth, without branch. to
height varying from so to $50 feet. In
the one Captain Simpson ascended the
house wasjust eighty feet from the ground;
one close to it was about l2O feet. The

Our @liu.
The Value of a Kernel of Corn.

In considering the curious and interest
ing chemical nature of corn, We shall use
the word as applied to wheat, as well as to
maize. The two grains are chemically
constituted very much alike, and what may
be said Of one applies with almost equal
truth to the other. Both are made up of
starch, dextrin, gum, sugar, gluten, albu-
men, and phosphates of lime, magnesia,
and potassa, with silica and iron. Wheat
contains about double the amount of lime
and iron, and considerable more phosphoric
acid, but less magnesia and soda. The
maize seeds are rich in peculiar oil,
which is nourishing and highly conducive
to the formation Of adipose or fatty matter;
hence, the high utility of corn in fattening
animals, What remarkable combination
Of chemical substances is stored up in
kernel of corn -? II may almost be said to
be an apothecarys shop in miniature and
the order and arrangement Of the mineral
elements and vegetable compounds, needed
to render the comparison more apt, are not
wanting, For some reason, Nature places
the most valuable substances in kernel
nearest the air and sunlight, while the
little cells Of the interior are full of the
material used to keep erect and tidy our
collars and neck bands--starch. With a
moistened cloth, we can rub off from the
kernel about three and half per cent Of
woody or strawy material, Of not much
nutritiye value; and then we come to
coating which holds nearly all the iron,
potash, soda, lime, phosphoric acid and the
rich nitrogenous ingredients. This wrap
per is the storehouse upon whose shelves
are deposited the mineral and vegetable
wealth Of the berry. Whence come these
chemical agcnts2 BY what superlative
cunning are they grouped within the
embrace of this covering? They come Of
course from the soil; and by the mysterious
ana silent power OF vital force they have
been raised, atom BY atom, from their low
estate, and fitted to perform the high
ofhces OF nutrition in the animal organisms
AND should we not appropriate them to
our use as the most carefully adjusted Of
all materials designed for human aliment2
certainly we should; but do weY Unfor-
tuna'e'y we canno. render an affirmative
answer Inc sharp teeth Of our burr mills
drive ra'hiessiy through the rich wrappers
OF the Kernel, aud then torn fragments
pass to the bolt and from that to the barn
or stable; the animals obtain the nutritious
gluten, and the starch, in the form Of fine
Hour, is set aside for family use. But il
