Bows.

Bows is young man of lazy and easy
habits. He is graceful young man. He
can owe taior's bill with more grace than
Count ID 'Orsay, and put him off when he
presents his bill with a suavity SO delicious
that the tailor feels like trusting him some
more-when he pays that last account.
Bows is married man. His wife prevailed
on him to go to church. The minister
preached an eloquent sermon, and its telling
truths would have brought tears into the
eyes of Bows, but that he remembered that
his supply of clean handkerchiefs was linn
tied to one. The text Of the sermon moved
Bows most of all. 1t was, "Go to the ant.
thou sluggard.' He went home bordering
deeply over thiS text, and next morning he
packed his trunks, took all his famiIy-in-
Guiding his mother-in-law and the tame
parrot-and called ON his aunt and stayed
for two months. Now he i hunting for
that minister. He wants him to preach
something as interesting about his uncle, or
his grandfather, or any of his cousins The
aunt, too, wants to see that minister Size
just wants to give him piece Of her mind.

headed old fool, who is about as able to

Anonymous Letters.

1t is impossible to foresee ali the injury
which may be done by an anonymous letter
while any good which it may accomplish
can usually be effected by other and prefera.
bic means.
An old man named Jones was murdered
at South Oyster Bay, last June. Abram
Southland, of Freeport, had suspicious that a
coiored man was implicated in the crime
and the plan which suggested itself to his
mind for unrayelling the mystery was for
hun to write an anonymo letter on the
subject.
Unfortunately the handwriting of Mr..
Southard resenbled that of half-brotber
OF the murdered man so closely, that experts
concluded that the anonymous letter had
been written by this halfbrother. who was
thereupon arrested, and only released after a
long examination and on the testimony of
the real author of the letter.
1t is safe rule, and one to be strictly
adhered to, that letter fit to be sent is fit
to be signed

PerspiratiOn.

The amount of liquid matter which passes
through the microscopical tubes of the skin
in twenty-four hours, in any adult person
of sound health, is about sixteen fluid ounces,
or one pint. One ounce of the sixteen is
solid matter, made up of organic and inor-
ganic substances, which, if allowed to re-
main in the system for space of time would
cause death. The rest is water Besides
the water and solid matter, large amount
Of carbonic acid, a gaseous body, passes
through the tubes so we cannot fail to un-
derstand that they are active workers, and
also we cannot fail to see the importance of
keeping them in perfect working order, re-
moving Instructions by frequent application
of water, or by some other means.
Suppose we obstruct the functions of the
skin perfectly by vanishing a person COM
pletely with a compound, impervious to
moisture. How long will he live? Not
over six hours. The experiment was once
tried on a child in Florence Pope Leo, the
tenth, ON the occasion of his accession to the
papal chair, wished to have living figure
to represent the Golden Age, and 50 he
gilded poor child all over with varnish
and gold leaf The child died in a few
hours. If the fur of rabbit or the skin of
pig be covered with solution of India
rubber in naptha, the animal ceases to
breathe in two hours.

'sThere has been some pathological doubt

the sharp stick referred to is the much

there was some ground for this. The Nee

brutal and disagreeable habit prevalent
among us of sending dunning bills. When
one Indian owes another, it is considered

1t is worth the effort OF some statis
tician TO compute the amount Of wealth
added TO the community through the
influence Of the agricultural ncwspa-
pers, and the immense amount of hu-
man misery and want which it guards
against and turns away When the
potato disease appeared in England,
some thirty wears ago. the result was
starvation TO thousands of people.
There were no agricultural papers as
we now understand them, if indeed
there be any even now of the popular
character, reaching almost every farm
er's home, that America presents No
one knew anything of potato diseases
or diseases of any kind no one knew
or had any idea of the approach Of
disaster: and when it come it WAS all
ioss-no one was prepared with an
extra crop TO supply any deficiency.
Such an event as great famine
like that which followed in Ireland,
and to some extent in England, on
the failure of the potato, is impossible

There is no better illustration Of this
than in the history of the Colorado
potatO-beetle, and the prospects of
the crop to-day Thousands and
thousands of bushels of potatoes have
been destroyed, or at least would have
been raised, that were not solely on
account OF the existence of this insect
plague; and yet the price of potatoes
has not materially increased during
the past twenty years. AS trouble

The potato crop of the present sea-
