SHAKSPEARE'S WOMEN.

Shakspeare's women convey some of
the finest and profoundest of philosophic
truths but he never drew oro!essed
Philosophers female philosopher.
Shakspeare's women never sit down to
philosophize, are never praguatical phil
osopters but from their lips flow senti-
ments OF loving wisdom, out of the depths
OF their own sweet nature, and as the
mere necessary effects of their own purity
and reotitude. They are wise because
they arc good they are clear-seeing be-
cause they are hlgh-mirded their judg-
ment is part of their right heart. Wo-
manly generosity gives them noble
views, womanly delicacy gives them
refined ideas. We see ID nature many
instances of gentle disposition, supplying
tact and understanding. There are
some people with such sweet natured
hearts that these put fine inspirations in
to their minds, and produce ideas which
seem the growth o. a noble intellect.

ours after. or during continuous heavy
rain is the consequence Of anincrease
of volume occasioned by the intro
duction Of water; and, moreover,
that by endorsmose the fruits Yield
to the water portion of their sac
charine matter. Leaves similarly
treated yielded sugar to the water
in which they were immersed, al
though the skin Of the leaf did not
crack, In the case Of roots, however,
although they contained sugar, and
although they, of course, absorbed
water, no sugar was exuded into the
water in which they were immersed.

ON THE CRACKING OF FRUIT

NJ. Bousslngault as recently COM
municated to the Academy of
Sciences, at Paris, some observations
on the cracking Of fruits, which are
of some interest to the horticultural.
The phenomenon is unfortunately too
well known. The cracking is un-
doubtedly attributable to an accumu-
lation of water in the tissues, the cpl
derm not being sufficiently elastic to
yield to the pressure, thus causing
cracks. 1t cannot, says Bcussin-
gault, be due to an arrest of evapo.
ration alone, because absorption by
the roots is checked in wet weather.
1t cannot, therefore, be admitted that
the water which accumulates in the
fruit, and causes it to crack, is deriv-
ed from the sap; but there is rea
son to think it occurs from the ab.
SCRIPT on Of watsr through the skin Of
the fruit BY endorsers.
In order to test this latter point

various fruits by weighing them and
then immersiug them in pure waite,

When removed from the water after

WASH FOR FENCES AND OUT
BUILDINGS.

The following is amost excellent, cheaC
and durable wash for wooden fences and
buildings. It owes it's durability chiefly
to the white vitrol which hardens and
fixes the wash:
Take barrel and slack one bushel Of
freshly burned lime in it, by covering the
lime with boiling water
After it is Stacked, add cola water
enough to bring it to the consistency Of
good whitewash Then dissolve ip wa
ter, and add one pound of white vitrol
(Sulphate of zinc) and one quart Of fine
salt.
To give this wash add one-half a
pound of yellow ochre Gin powdr). To
give It fawn look, add a pound of vel
low ochre, and one fourth of pound eff
Indian red
To make the wash handsome gray
stone color, add one-halfR pound Of
French blue and one-fourth pound of In
dian red drab will be ma ]e by adding
One-half of a pound of burnt sienna, and
one-fourth pound Venetian red.
For brick or stone, instead of one
bushel Of lime, use half bushel of lime
and half bushel Of hydraulic cement.

CUR1OSlTIES UNEARTHED IN
SWITZERLAND.

Says the Continental Herald: The
OBJ ects found in the course Of excavations
carried on st the Bronze station near
Morlhgen, Lake of Bienne, under the
direction of M. Fallenberg. have now
been carefully prepared for exhibition,
ana are on view at the Public Library
OF Berne. There are many unique OBJ
Jects among them. One of the number,
the ratchet, with perfectly preserved
handle throws important light on the
question how the numerous bronze hatch
cts of curious form were fastened. Nu-
merous casts have been made from it.
Amongst the bronze objects found may
be mentioned number of rings, knives
Dodklns, ETC., some of them very taste
fully decorated. Some curious articles
made fstag's horn have also been brought
to light, which, perhaps, may be called
shuttles, also knife and sx-handles, etc
Simple, but prettily decorated, dishes
and fiat plates Of clay were also excaxa-
ted. Among the clay objects is a jug as
large as good sized modern beer barrel,
which is at present still undergoing res
toratlon. Some capsules Of loan, which
were either perforated or badly burnl,
rather puzzled arch@ologists all con-
tanned small fiat pills of unburnt loan.
They were thought at first to be chill
drens rattles, but it is believed now that
they contained scented substances and
served during sacrifices. The great care
employed In their decoration seems to
point to this conclusion, which is fur
Their strengthened by the fact that several
perforated vessels fitted with pierced
wooded covers were found. Pieces of
plaster are likewise amongst the co!lec-
lions which have been discovered here
as we'll as in other places, showing Us the
style of primitive wall-covering. Besides
the stoues used for rubbing, roundish
stones used as missels were found, also
decorated crescent Of stone. The ZOO
l. gical and botanical discoveries are the
same as nc other stations of interest.
There are the remains OF the elk or moose
deer and the horse of the Bronze period

WHITEwAsH FOR SHINGLBs.-The
following Is from the New England
Farmer; Mr.. N. P. Rines, of Hamp-
ton, N. H., in reply to late inquiry
IN the Farmer about tho use of lime
on shingled root, says it will pay
we'll to whltewash sap shingles they
should be perfectly dry, and the
more lime they take up the better
but use no salt. He thinks the best
method of using lime is, to dip the
butts of the shingles in boiling hot
whitewash before they are laid. We
would suggest that wet, lime-soaked
shingles would be rather hard on the
hands Of those who lay them, almost
as bad as sowing wet ashes by b and

THE CRUSADER.
BY MISS KITTIE BRADFORD.

BY MISS KITTIE BRADFORD.
Tell me, for it seems wonder,
Why such weakness is SO strong
Why poor woman, ever timid,
Now so boldly meets the throng,
Marches bravely into danger.
And with prisons and song
Pleads so earnestly and long.
Tell me, pray, the wondrous secret,
Fer its power fain would know,
And the grandeur and the glory
1t will certainly bestow
On the favored one who heeds it,
And who day by day mast grow
Wiser, purer, here below.
Querying sister, God is mighty,
And his Son doth lead ard guide
Each believer, o, so sweetly,
Who doth trustfully decide
To accept him as the Master,
And in faith walk by his side
AS pure and tender bride.
Loving, trusting, self-denying,
Thou must fall at Jesus feet,
On the promises" relying,
Look to HIM fer wisdom meet.
He will strengthen, guide and shield thee,
His dear name then, fondly greet,
His wise pIeCepts oft repeat.
Thus baptised CT Gods own spirit,
Woman weak, in strength sublime,
Followeth where the Master leadeth,
Into dens CT vice and crime,
And with prayers and exhortations.
Never needing place or time,
Pointeth to the cross divine.

HOW TO EXTIRMINATE BURDOCKs

HOW TO EXTIRMINATE BURDOCKS.
To the Editor Of the Chicago Evening Journal:
For the benefit of every farmer whom
misfortune has favored with that most
miserable weed, the burdock, I send the
following mode for its sure destruction
Arm yourself with sharp hoe or knife,
cut the dock off just at the surface of the
ground, and pour upon the root table
spoonful of kerosene In less than one
week it will be entirely decayed. I
lave tried this effectually and find it to
be as certain as fate.

THE RIPENING OF FRUIT

Acting upon the principle that renewal
OF the earth immediately surrounding the
roots increases their activity and accelerates
the maturing Of all parts OF the plants, In
GLIDING the fruit, Mr.. Stall removed the
earth about an early pear tree eight weeks
before the normal period OF ripsning. for a
space of Is to Is feet In diaraeter, and to such
en- extent as to leave depth OF earth oyer

could be thoroughly warmed by the sun.
He was surprised not only By the rIpening
of the fruit In the middle osJuly. bat also
by its superior juicinsss and aavor. In an
other experiment the renewal Of the earth
from the north side off trse alone caused
the fruit on that side to ripea several days
earlier than that on the south side. Frequent
watering was OF course necessary In the above
