THE CHEERFUL MAN.

Give me the joyful man whose face
Is lit up with smile,
Who can in worldly struggles trace
New lessons all she while
Though costly pleasures he cannot buy.
And lOwly be his lot,
For luxuries he does not sigh,
But loves his humble cot
There's sunshine in his every act,
That softens every ill,
He may have neither wealth nor tact,
Yet be contented still.
Tho sorrow pierce him through and through
And ruin seeks his door,
Contentment will his strength renew
And eace of mind restore.
His presence gives the tOiler Hope,
And makes the grave feel gay,
inspires the soul that else would grope
In darkness by the way.
He does not chide his fellow man.
For errors of the heart.
But seeks to find what good he can,
And act brothers part.
Why should we grieve for errors past,
Or gloomy thoughts indulge,
The star of Hope will rise at last.
And hidden joys divulge-
Then let us strive with willing hands,
To do our duty here,
And break in twain the iron bands
That bind the soul to fear.

hair is thickened, falling hair checked,

some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it, IF wanted

Eggs vs.. Meat.

WOULD it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one-third of the weight of an egg
is solid nutriment. This is more than
can be said of meat. There are no bones
and tough pieces that have to be laid
aside. A good egg is made up of ten
parts shell, sixty parts white and thirty
parts yolk. The white of an egg contains
eighty-six per cent. water; the yolk fifty
two per cent. The average weight of an
egg Is about two ounces. Practically an
egg is animal food and yet there is none
Of the disagreeable work of the butcher
necessary TO obtain it. The vegctarians
of England use eggs freely, and many Of
these men are eighty and ninety years
old, and have been remarkably free from
illness. A good egg is alive. The shell
is porous and the oxygen of the air goes
through the shell and keeps up kind of
respiration. An egg soon become stale in
bad air or in dry air charged with car
bonic acid. Eggs may be dried and made
to retain their goodness for long time,
or the shell may be vanished, which ex.
cludes the air, when, If kept in moder-
ate temperature, they may be kept good
for years. The French people produce
more eggs than any other and ship mill.

this remark to refer especially to Cooley's
rooster, but it fits him with singular ex-
actness. do not know what the breed
was-Black Spanish, believe--but he
was the most animated, earnest, whole
souled and vehement rooster anywhere
around. He turned out earlier and
crowed louder than any other rooster in
the State Of Delaware. He could crow
oftener in minute-he could hold on
the last note longer and begin again
quicker--than any known barn-yard fowl |;
and he would often wake up in the night
and emit half dozen vociferous screech.

lost his voice since sunset. When he
began to run up the scale in the morning
he soon had every other rooster within
ten miles hard at work, and used to lie

more noise out of his larynx than any

UnwhOlesOme Meat.

Mr. G.. T. Angell in the .Sanitartan for
September, urges forcibly the truth that
cruelty to the animal Injuries the meat,
asserting that overlooking, worrying, tor
turing, over.exciting or fatiguing animals
renders the flesh unwholesome and par
ticularly liable to rapid putrefaction.
He thinks that when public opinion shall
demand the same inspection of animals,
both before and after they are killed,
now practiced in Continental Euro
pean cities, and by the Jews every
where, and the inspector shall stand
ut our cattle markets, side by side
with the Jewish Rabbi, to condemn
and cause to be destroyed the meat of
every diseased animal, then animals will
be brought to our markets without cruel
ty, and the Christian will eat as good
meat as the jew.
Cattle cars have already been invented
and tried with entire success, in which
cattle can be carried thousands of miles
without food, water and rest, and arrive
In good condition. When these cars
come into general use, says Mr.. Angel,
railroads will make more money, because
one-third to one-half more cars will be
required to transport the same number
of cattle; dealers will make more money.
because Saying nothing of animals that
die on the passage) an enormous waste
of the best parts of the meat will be
saved, and this saving will not only ray
the increased charges of transporting,
but also leave an immense margin Of
gain; and consumers, getting wholesome
meats at one-half to three fourths the
prices they now pay for diseased meats,
will buv LARGER ollantities and an In
crease the trade.
All that is needed is public opinion
which shall require these forms of slaugh-
tering to be generally practiced; and that
faithful inspectors shall be stationed at
the larger slaughter-hoLses to see that
they are properly carried out, and all an
finals properly fed and watered up to
the time of killing; then the sixty mill
ions or more of dumb creatures that are
now killed annually in this country for
food will die without pain to themselves
or danger to the characterization

solved, good eggs sink and Indifferent
ones swim. Bad eggs float in pure water
The best eggs are laid by young, healthy
hens. If they are properly fed the eggs
are better than if they are allowed to eat
all sorts of food. Eggs are best when
cooked four minutes. This takes away
the animal taste that is offensive to some,
but does so harden the white or yolk as
to make them hard to digest. An egg if
cooked very hard is difficult of digestion,
except by those with stout stomachs; ;
such eggs should be eaten with bread
and masticated very finely An excel
lent sandwich can be made with eggs
and brown bread. An egg spread on
toast is food fit for king, if kings de-
serve any better food than anybody else,
which is doubtful Fried eggs are less
wholesome than boiled ones. An egg
dropped in hot water is not only a
clean and handsome but delicious NOR
sci. Most people spoil the taste of their
eggs by adding pepper and salt. A little
sweet butter Is the best dressing. Eggs
contain much phosphorus, which is sup
posed to be useful to those who use their
brains much.-Poultry Re0ie,o (Eng).

swings, an excellent imitation of fro

walks TO the center of the table and
after bowling to the crowd, seats himself
in small chair near bell TO the elan.
per of the bell there is attached a small
cord, and any one in the crowd is allowed
to ask the bird to strike any number of
times upon the bell. If asked to strike
ten times, he leaves the chair, seizes the
bell-rope and pulls it ten times, after
which he bows and returns to his seat
This was repeated a great many times

no mistake. The bird will strike twenty.
seven times, but after that he refuses:

to count further. A collection is of
course taken up after each exhibition"
