The Bible Society

OF Orangcburg held its annual meeting
on Sunday evening at the Nj, thodist
Church. Only a moderate, attendance Of
persons was seen, owing perhaps to the
rain during the afternoon. Mr.. Kirk

his report showing falling off in MEM
bership, and urged renewal of interest.
Addresses were made by the Rev. J. D.
A. Brown, and the Rev j. 3. Campbell
setting forth forcibly and felicitously the
the great work. History, civilization,
and all of temporal good were the work
ofthe Bible, and higher than this the
Divine Author ofthe Word commanded
it to be sent forth" The speakers were
listened to with attentive interest. Messrs

called it the theatre of the earliest Ameri-
can civilization. On an island within it
are the imposing ruins of the temple of the
sun, and all around it are monuments
which attest the skill and magnificence Of
the Incas. There are also, as at Tiahuan-
CO and Silustana, the remains of burial
towers and palaces, which antedate the
crusades, and are therefore pre-incarial
Lake Titicaca is about the size of our On
tario, shallow on the west and north, deep
toward the east and east and south. The
eastern or Bolivian shore, being backed by
the lofty range of Sorata, is very high and
precipitous. The lake never freezes over,
although the temperature of Puno is often
eighteen degrees at sunrise. Two little
steamers of one hundred tons each do q
trifling business. Steam is generated by
llama dung, the only fuel of the country
for there are no trees within one hundred
and fifty miles. The steamers actually
cost their weight in silver, for their trans
portation Tin pieces from the coast cost as
much as the original price. A steamboat
company has just asked from Bolivia the
exclusive privilege of navigating Titicaca
and the Rio Desaguadero to Dago Pampa,
with a guarantee of six per cent. cost on the
capital and share in all new mines dis
covered. Professor Orion, the latest trav-
eller in that region, calls attention to the
fact that Lake Titicaca is not so high as
usually given in geographical works by
about three hundred feet. Its true alti-
tudc is 12,403 feet, and in the dry season
it is four feet less This fact has been re-
vealed by the consecutive dwellings, made
in building the Arequipa railway just fin.
ished, which reaches from the Pacific to
Lake Titicaca.

Human Strength.

Among the Arabs, the Persians, and the
Turks you do not meet with those under
sized, rickety, consumptive beings who
are so common in Europe; you do not
meet with such pale, wan, sickly-looking
countenances; their compilations are bright
and tlorid, they are strong and vigorous,
able to ride hundred miles Il day, and
capable of performing other most amazing
fcats.
l remember seeing u most striking
instance of their powers. A band Of
men from the Hmalaya mountains had
come to Calcutta for the purpose of eXhib-
iting teats OF strength, and they were in
deed perfect Samsons. Their size struck
me with admiration. l know nothing
that can compare to them but perhaps
some of you have seen the statue at the
bottom of the stairs at Somerset House; it is
Hercules leaning on his club, is about sew
en- feet high, looking like being capable of
executing the most difficult task, and such
men were the athlete.
We selected five men on board the Glas-
gov frigate, similar number from one of
the regiments, and likewise from an India
man, all fine picked men and yet upon a
trial Of strength, it was found that Him
alaya mountaineer was equal to two and
three-quarters of the strongest Europeans.
They could grasp man and hold him in the
air like child, and if they had not been
under control, / am convinced they could
have crushed him to death. l felt them,
and never felt such flesh in my life; great
great rolls of muscle. These men never
tasted Spirits Buckinghams Lectures.

Useful Hints.

A lady writing to the the Country Gen
tleman, thus recapitulates some of the val
liable suggestions she had the good sense
to learn from her servant girls. She
says:
The other day Mary was ironing, and
asked for piece Of sandpaper to rub her
irons on. | was astonishcd that | never
thought of it before. 1t is so nice; re-
moves every bit of starch or anything else
and makes them so smooth.
One girl told me that old corsets make
the best stove cloths. Just one-half at a
time is a convenient size. They are ready
made and much better, when unfolded, to
take hold of anything with than made
holder, and much easier to wash. Just
throw them in with the brown towels, as
many as you happen to get during the
week, and they come out clean and ready
to use again.
Another girl pours hot water on the
blades only of steel knives, and they wipe
easily and do not need drying.
Another one told me the best Way to
keep hams and dried beef was to pack it
in dry salt. We have tried it several years
with perfect success. An old salt barrel is
convenient. Set it in some COOL dry place;
put quite thick layer of salt in the bot,
tom; then pack in the hams, using the
pieces of dried beef, if you have any, fol
chinking; cover with salt, then hams and
then salt again, till the barrel is full
There is not the least danger from insects
if the hams are smoked and the beef dried
and put away early, before the flies come
around and they are much nicer to han
die than when put in ashes or oats, or any
thing of the kind

out more and more. She soon sank into

not desert her of evenings, as many hus-
bands do their wives he went neither to
tavern nor to club; we will say that in his
favor; but he betook himself to his news.
paper and cigar, varied with an occasional
doze. AS he hardly exchanged q word
with poor Helen, she might as well have
been thousand miles away. She sat in
the same room with him, stitching, stitch
ing, till her eyes ached with the monotony
and the WEAKNESS of it all.
In the first year or two of their married
life, he had continued the subscription to
the two or three magazines and newspa-
pers which had been her favorites before
she left her fathers house. But after u
while he had them stopped. "What does
married woman want with love stories 2"
he said imperiously, forgetting that the
magazine was as much to his wife as his
newspaper was to him. Often and often
poor Helen thought that if she could only
have few books, a new poem, or peri
odical of some kind, she could have borne
things better.
Her life was so dry and hard that even
the least glimpse OF the world of magma
spring in the desert is to the weary, thirsty
traveller. But her husband said in his
dogmatlc way, when, once or twice, she
ventured to borrow book, and he found
her reading, "Pshaw A novel again how
can you waste your time with such nom
sense; pretty example you are setting to
your daughter"
Mrs. Trevor had been pretty, as we have
| said, when she married. But in less than
ten years she was faded, shrunken woman,
whose nerves were all awry, and who was
last sinking into confirmed invalid. Be-
| fore she had been married twenty years,
before her eldest daughter was a grown
| girl, she quietly slipped into the coffin, and
| had done with this life forever. Her hus-
band put on black, and wore the deepest
Grape on his hat, and went about telling
people of his inconsolable loss, and then,
after year, he married again.
Meantime what of the other pair2 To-
day, at forty, Mrs. Chanter is as handsome
as ever, people say, and when she goes out
with her daughter, passes with strangers
for an elderly sister. Her mind has not been
starved, nor her soul dwarfed. ga little
| iudicious amusement is as necessary to a
woman" her husband always said, "as food,
or air, or affection" On this principle he
acted. The result was that his wife al
ways kept her spirits, her health, her good
looks, and from being thoroughly happy
herself was able to make him all the hap
pier.
"You can starye a human soul,' he often
said, "just as easy as the body" And
some do it.
Perhaps he was thinking of Trevor as he
spoke. Whether he was or not, the record.
ing angel was, and when the accounts come
to be made up, in the great chancery of
heaven, there will be little doubt as to
which of the two husbands will win the

Comparative Value of Lime and Wood
Ashes.

The Lice Stock Journal replies to cores
pondent as follows, who asks to "know if
lime is not as valuable as wood ashes as n
fertilizer for grain crops ~
"Many farmers regard wood ashes as q
simple elementary substance, and thus are
led to compare them with lime or gypsum.
But wood ashes is compound body COM
posed of many clements. The ashes of our
forest trees contain all the inorganic ele-
ments that make up vegetable and animal
bodies, including. Of course, lime and gyp-
sum. Wood ash is, therefore, a fertilizer
for all our crops. 1t contains ten to twen-
ty per cent. of phosphate of lime, besides
potash, soda, magnesia, sulphuric, phos-
phoric and carbonic acids, lime, silica, etc.
Ashes then are much more valuable for
general application than lime or potash
alone. Lime has special application
upon soils rich in organic matter, decom-
posing the sulphate Of iron which is some
times found and forming combinations
which are direct stimulants to vegetation.
1t unites with phosphoric acid in the soil
and forms phosphate oflime Ozone earth).
When applied to a heavy clay soil, renders
it more friable, less liable to bake in the
sun, permits the air to circulate more free
ly, renders it warmer and the harvest
week earlier. Lime is most valuable when
there is most organic matter in the SOIL
The carbonate of potash in wood ashes acts
much in the same way as lime, and as u
general fertilizer for all crops, ashes has a
much higher value than limen

The Way to Conquer.

"I'll master it," said the axe, and his
blows fell heavily on the iron; but every
blow made his edge more blunt till he
ceased to strike.
Leave it to me-" said the saw, and with
his relentless teeth, he worked backward
and forward on its smooth surface till they
were all worn down and broken then he
fell aside.
"Ha! hal" said the hammer, II knew
you wouldn't succeed I'll show you the
:" but at his first fierce stroke off flew
his head, and the iron remained as before.
"Slall | try ?" asked the soft, small
flame. But they all despised the flame,
but he curled gently round the iron, and
embraced it, and never left it till it melted
under its irresistible influence.
There are hearts hard enough to resist
the force of wrath, the malice of persecu-
ton, and the fury of pride, so as to make
their acts recoil on their adversaries; but
there is power stronger than any OF these,
and hard indeed is the heart that can re-
sist love.
