Birth and Death.

How quickly one generation of men
follows another to the grave! We
come like the ocean wave to the shore,
and scarcely strike the strand before
we roll back into the forgetfulness
whence we came. "There Is skele-
ton i'm every house." Ay, in some
many. We can stand upon the cor
ner of any street, and, looking back,
we shall see that all the houses have
changed occupants in few years.
The old men have gone, and gene
ration that knew them not have taken
their places. Yes! while we look,
we ourselves grow old and pass on to
join the caravan whose tents are
almost In sight on the other side. In
youth the other world seems great
way off, but later we feel and realize
that 1t il closer at hand and, what Is
better, nature does the preparatory
work for passing into 1t, so that easily
We grow into it-are born into IL.

Something New for Housewives.

A new mode Of washing linen has
been introduced and adopted in Ger
many. The operation consists in
dissolving two pounds of soap in
about three gallons of water as hot as
the hand could bear, and adding to
this one tablespoonful of turpentine
and three of liquid ammonia; the
mixture must then be well stirred,
and the linen stepped In it for two or
three hours, taking care to cover up
the vessel which contains them as
nearly Theoretically as possible. The
clothes are afterward washed out and
rinsed I'm the usual way. The soap
and water may be repeated and used
the second time, but In that case half
a tablespoonful of turpentine and
tablespoonful of ammonia must be
added. The process Is said to cause a
great economy of time, labor and
. all

The Wonder of IL.

When man has been surrounded
with pure inhuences-I do not mean
with austerity or fanaticism, from
which he would be likely to suffer re-
action-when man who has breath
ed no other atmosphere but of moder-
alton and decOrum looks back upon
his own life, and trembles at his hun
dred hairbread escapes from utter
ruins OF one kind or another, he cam
not help wondering what keeps the
unprotected classes from going alto
gether and utterly to the bad. IL
was one OF the best saints out of the
calender who declared himself COM
petent to commit any crime under the
sun Of which he ever heard, and what
IL Is that keeps the average sinner
from going straight through the
criminal list 1t is hard to tell.

A LunatIc Ball.

The New Haven Register says In
describing the recent annual ball al
the Lunatic Asylum. "Twenty
couples took the floor, ranged in two
lines, facing each other, and stood
still in profound silence, waiting for
the music.
In this party the strangeness of the
performers was most apparent. The
men wore look upon their faces OF
such resolution as one would expect
on that of Il brave man brought face
to face with some terrible danger.
The women were more wondering in
their glanceS, but nearly all serious
too. The music burst forth and a
simultaneous movement followed; all
sorts of movements, some cultivated
steps, but for the most part Il mere
violent shutting exercise. Directly
they all seemed to have forgotten
that they had partners, and settled
down into dancing. There was some
popularity about every individual,
but in every one was observable a
sort of ecstasy. One girl, with wild
dark eyes, and her black hair hang
ing loose around her neck, would
occasionally pause, as if trying to
recOllect where she had acted such q
part in other scenes, but, CHANGING at
the company all engaged around her,
she would resume her motions. Some
of them kept their gaze fixed on the
ceiling, turning neither to the right
nor to the left others kept a watch
upon their feet, which, to their be-
wildered minds, were perhaps going
sadiS astray.
Very soon the organization lost
shape; the original partners had
wandered hopelessly away from each
other. But, with instructive gallantry
on the one side and gentle acquiescence
on the other, the men swung and
twirled whichever lady happened to
be within reach at the moment when
they thought the music indicated
Swing your partners.

Expert Divers.

The savage5 of the South Sea and
other islands, are remarkable for the
expertness which they acquire by
habit, in diving and moving about in
the water; being accustomed to it
from their infancy, the element be-
comes 30 natural to them that they
seem to have the use of their faculties
in the water as well as on dry land.
According to voyagers, they are such
expert divers, that when nail or
other piece of iron was thrown over
board, they instantly jumped into
the sea after IL, and never failed to re-
cover It,. On one OCCASION, q smiths
anvil is said to have fallen overheard;
not being able to bring this up, the
islanders contrived to get IL ashore by
descending a great many times, and
rolling 1t over till It reached the land.

AN excellent story Is told of an en-.
terprising youth who received per-
mission to "speak to my father" He
did speak. He stated to the old gen.
tleman that as to this worlds goods
he was incapable of much show.
But with truly commendable pres
ence of mind, he Immediately added
that he was "chockfull Of days
works." A young man with sense
enough to make such statement, and
to make It In such q way, commended
to the fatherly heart. He
got the girl.

Your Age.

There is a good deal of amusement
in the following magical table of fig
ures. 1t will enable you to tell how
old the young ladies are. Just hand
this table to a young lady, and re-
quest her to tell you in which col
umn or columns her age is cOntained;
add together the figures ut the top
of the columns in which her age is
found, and you have the great secret.
Thus, suppose her age to be seven
teen, you will find that number in
the first and fifth columns; add the
first figures of these two columns.
Here is the magic table:

A young man i'm Indiana sues his
father for loaned money, which the
father claims was his own property,
The fathers counsel, I'm summing up

"Twice has this prodigal returned to

received with open arms; twice for
him has the fatted calfsbeen killed !;
and now he comes back and wants

WILLIAM M. EvARTs Esq, at a
public dinner lately, told this good
story on himself: A few summers
since, at the urgent request Of one of
his younger daughters, he sent up to
his country place In Vermont a
donkey for her use. She had read
about donkeys, but was not familiar
with their peculiar vOcalism. The
animals strange noise inspired her
with the prOfOundest pity for his
evident distress, So she wrote to her
iathtr: "Dear papa. i do wish you
would come up here soon, my donkey
Is so lOnesOme.v

Never be ashamed to help yourself.
The false shame that fears to be de-
tected i'm honest manual employment /;
which shrinks from exposing to the
world necessary and honorable
economy; which bushes more deep
ly for shabby attire than for mean
action, and which breads the sneer of
the world more than the upbraiding
of cOnscience-this false shame will
prove the ruin Of every one who suf-
fers 1t to influence his thoughts of
life

CHEESE FACTORIES.

In 1873 n capital of $3.50 was
invested in cheese factories in this
State, and 151,172 pounds OF
cheese manufactured. There were
factories in only seven counties,
viz, Cowley, Franklin, Lyon, Mi
ami, Morris, Nemaha and Shaw
nee. In 1874 the capital invested
had increased to $56,313, or over
six times the amount invested in
1873. And 419,4O1 pounds OF
cheese was manufactured, and
there were factories in twenty six
counties, viz, Allen, Franklin,
Atchison, Bourbon, Butler, Cloud,
Cowley, Douglas, Greenwood, JEFF
ferson, LeaYenworth, Linn, Lyon,
Marion, Marshall, Mcpherson,
Miami, Montgomery, Morris, Ne
maha, Neosho, Usage, Riley, Shaw
nee, Wabaunsee and Washington.
Marshall county reports the lar
gest capital invested in this bust
ness, 81, 900; and Greenwood tho
smallest, $75. The largest pro,
duct is reported in Usage county,
S2,932 pounds, while Nemaha
manufactured $4,000 pounds, Ly-
on 10000, and Linn 10000. Mar.
shall county, although reporting
the largest amount of capital in.
vested, reports no product.
In 1873 the price per pound
ranged from IL to 16 cents, and in
1874 from IL to 20 cents.
The increase in the product is
not nearly as great as is the in.
crease in capital invested, but is
explained by the fact that many
factories built this year were not
completed in time to do any bust
ness this season. The product
will be immensely increased next
year. Cheese manufacture in
Kansas is a success, as is demon,

and bids fair to be a valuble indus.
