Unrestrained Temper.

Everyone is liable to slight variations
of msod and at some times to feel less
genial than at others. Those people
who never change-who always pre-
serve an even, placid manner-do not
amount to much, as general rule n
dash of temper is rather an improve
ment than otherwise-a credential OF
hidden force and ability. To properly
restrained temper no objection can be
urged if it flashes forth now and then,
the offense may be forgiven. But TO
that class of people whose wretched
lack of self-control renders them the
bane of every circle in which they min
gle, do object most heartily. l have
been greatly disappointed i'll people
who upon short acquaintance seemed
to be very agreeable, and afterward
showed their weakness by making every
one around them suffer from their loss
of temper occasioned by some trivial
accident. Yet they seem to have an
idea that no one has a right to resent
their behavior at such times, but ex-
pect others to overlook their loss of
temper and receive them as if nothing
had happened. This is childish, to say
the least / have seen children who,
because they were refused some favor,
would bang every door in the house
for the sake of venting their ill-temper
by making other people uncomfortable,
and these same children in an hour
would be as loving and affectionate as
ever. i have seen man, who, because
he had lost five dollars through his
own carelessness, would not open his
mouth at home, except to scold the
children, but at other times, when for
tune smiled, would be amiability itself.
| have also seen a woman who, because
the fire went out in her room, or her
breakfast did not suit her, would pout n
whole day, never noticing any one, but
the next day, having had things little
more to her satisfaction, was ready to
greet everybody with smiles, and ex-
pected cordiality in return. Such con-
duct demands apology, and if it were
oftener required, / believe these fits
of temper would be less frequent. In
fact, it is very impertinent for any one
individual TO mar the happiness of half
a dozen others because something with
which they have had nothing whatever
to do has gone wrong. Children are
punished for such ofienses; and al
though the literal rod cannot be applied
TO the back of our sulky friend, it would
be well to occasionally chastise him
with the rod of silence, and force him
to an apology which, however humble,
will still fall far short of atoning for
the otfense committed

Agricultural Facts of the Union.

Hon. Samuel b. Ruggles of New
York, one of the most laborious and re-
liable of our living statisticians, gave at
the last meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, the condensed facts of our
national agriculture comprising in the
following points the results of months
of careful and comprehensive calcula-
tions:
l. The agriculture of The American
Union is the broad and enduring basis
of its national strength
2. It's agricultural population of s.
922, Al in 10, had created and acquired
a property in agricultural wealth valued
at 81, l24, sos, All, showing an average
value of 81 ,S7S per head, yielding a net
income of $3.50
3. Every million added to that agri-
cultural population will consequently
add at least 81, S7S, 600, 900 to the ma
tional wealth.
1. The present yearly increase in this
population being 81, 432, an additional
million will be gained every thirteen
years.
3. These additional millions will be
urgently needed, and can be readily
supplied by Europe from time to time
and from age to age, to enable the
American Union to produce and export
the vegetable and animal products to
feed. and the cotton to clothe, the large
and steadily increasing population of
Europe.
g. The ten interior States north of
the Ohio river, and the upper lakes and
upper Mississippi and Missouri, pro-
duced in the year 1879, 812, Isl, 1926
bushels of cereals, weighing more than
21,000,000 tons avoirdupois. BY the
close of the present century, twenty-six
years hence, these States will probably
produce fifty millions of tons.
:. 1t has become a matter of vital
interest, not only to the American
Union, but to the common civilization
and welfare or the world, to improve to
the utmost all the Waterways, natural
or artificial, affording cheap transporta-
ton from the immense interior of North
America TO the ocean.

Useful Suggestions.

LEY made of wood ashes will soften
hard putty in a few minutes.
MILK stains on serge dresses may be
removed by sleeping the part in warm
water.
FLOUR is said to be an excellent ex-
tinguisher for the flame of burning ker-
osene oil.
ONE or two geranium leaves, bruised,
bound upon cut or abrasion, Will heal
it at once.
Ii is stated that red ink which re-
sists the action of most chemicals may
be made by dissolving carmine in solu-
bic glass.
To CLEAN silver or britannia, use
whiting finely powdered, moistened with
alcohol; then rub thoroughly with
chamois-skin.
LACE handkerchiefs are now soaked
in coffee, dried, and then vanished with
the white of eggs. After the operation
the handkerchief looks like dish-rag,
but dish-rags of this kind are now very
fashionable.
GREASE on any kind of goods may be
removed by rubbing magnesia on the
spots, and then covering with clean
brown paper and applying a warm flat
iron. Repeat few times, and the spot
will be removed.
A LITTLE glycerine added to gum or
glue is great improvement, as 1t pre-
vents the gum or glue becoming brittle.
1t also prevents gummed labels from
having a tendency 10 curl up when
being written on.
TINCrURE of iodine prepared with al
cohol containing over 66.S per cent. alb
solute alcohol will not turn starch paper
blue, but that prepared with weaker al
cohol will. To certain extent this may
be used as test for the strength OF al
cohol.
IT is Il well-known fact that harness
and other leather exposed to the action
of ammonia in stables soon becomes
cleaned and creased. The addition of
& small quantity of glycerine to the oil
used in greasing such leather keeps the
harness always pliable and soft.
LEAKING teats have been closed by
the application of collodion to the teat
Immediately after milking. To apply
it wipe the teat perfectly dry and with
a small brush or camels-hair pencil
paint the end of the teat over with three
or four coats of the collodion. 1t dries
instantly, and, contracting as it dries,
closes the oriice. Collodion is gun
cotton dissolved i'll ether
A STRAWBERRY grower states that to
two barrels of rain-water he put one
quarter of pound of ammonia, one
quarter of pound of common inter,
and with this solution he sprinkled his
strawberry beds every night when bios
soming. The result was double the
amount of large strawberries to that
Just adjoining not so treated.
To REMOVE IRoN-RUsT.- the
spots of iron-rust on muslin or white
dress-goods thoroughly with lemon
Juice, then lay in the hot sun to dry
Repeat the same if the color is not re-
moved by one application. When dry,
rinse in clear, cold water. Lemon juice
cannot be used on colored goods, as it
will take out printed colors as well as
stains. 1t will remove all kinds of
stains from white goods.

Firmly Riyeted.

Judging by the difficulty with which
the Swiss contrive to get married, il re-
quires considerable courage on their
part to enter the marriage state. Thus
a citizen who moved TO another canton
was told that, in addition to payment
for the needful documents, he would
have to provide for the rights
of bourgeoise, if his .fancee
were Swiss, two hundred francs
if foreigner. The man was told, more
over, that he wonld have to prove by
certificate that he was provided with a
wedding outfit and fortune of eight
hundred francs. He would be required
to pay, in addition, twenty-three francs
to the school fund, twenty francs for the
military tax, and finally thirty-s forms
twelve kreutzers for expenses incurred
by his commune when he was ill in
Germany The claims thus amounted
to two hundred and thirty-three franc S
forty centimes, irrespective of all other
expenses of permissions, translations,
stamps and the cost of documents. The
man put down two hundred francs, and
remarked in Swiss Marry us as fan
as desc moneys went.

SPONGE, IN FACT.-A noted meteor
ologist has ascertained that the wettest
place in the world is Cherrapoonjee, a
village in farther India, among the hills,
and between four and five thousand
feet above the sea, the rainfall being
some six hundred inches, taking place
in six months the calculation being
based on the fact that an inch of rain
over four square feet is equal to a gal
lon of water, or ten pounds, being the
same as sixty thousand tons over a
square mile; The gentleman's investi-
cations have also led him to the belief
that the three principal causes of rain
are ascending currents of air which
produce the great tropical summer
rains the contract of hot damp air with
cold ground, which makes the west
coast of continents so rainy and the
setting in of a cold wind after warm
one, also the reverse, as when a north
west wind sets in after a southwest.

AFFECTATIoN.-To strive TO appear
what we are not, and never can be, is to
make ourselves ridiculous in the eyes
of all worthy people. One of the sur
est and easiest ways for man to be-
come a nonentity is to sink his individ-
uality by trying to be somebody else.
Affectation IN any form is the product
of ignorance or weak mindedness
whether it be displayed in the would-be
lady, destitute of natural refinement
and wanting in culture, who affects
somebody else in conversation or man.
ners, or in him who on the rostrum, or
worse still, in the sacred desk, apes the
eminent who stand in those places. We
have seen it illustrated in the junior
clerk of store who talked to the GUS
toners as if he owned the whole estab-
lishment in a small writer, who spoke
of Thackeray as al fellow-laborer; in a
musician of little merit, who ostenta-
tiously mourned for the lamented Par
repa, saying Eve of the profession have
suffered great loss" And so on, and
so on. When will the pretentious per-
son learn that, without merit to sup
port him, he affords one of the most
iamentable instances of human folly on
record Soon, we hope, for his own and
societys sake.

National Arbitration.

When two individuals disagree, it is
deemed honorable to refer the matter of
difference TO arbitration. Why should
not the same course be pursued by two
nations? When Napoleon threatened
war with Prussia, would it not have
been a noble reply for King William of
Prussia to have said :" We will leave
the matter to arbitration. We will each
appoint two representatives, and the
four ambassadors or referees shall APP
point fifth. Let them report meas
ures honorable TO both nations" Or,
on grander scale, why should there
not be a Congress of nations, body of
honorable men like the judges of our
Supreme Court. Let each nation that
consents to the arrangement appoint
two members of this International Con-
gress. Then matters like our Alabama
claim could be referred to this body.
Vast armies could be disbanded. Peace
and brotherhood would take the place
OF contention. After many thousands
have been killed, then negotiation must
follow and treaties be made. Why not
begin with peaceable measures, and
save vast outlay of treasure and human
life ?-GcTDldHtOtUn (Pa.) Chronicle.

CREMATION IN BERLIN-The JeWish

Jewish cemeteries in the city. The mo-
