the fire that occurred in our town on Monday
morning, every one was no doubt impressed
with the fact that some more abundant sup
ply of water should be provided to meet the
demands of our efficient fire department..
Would it not not be practicable to erect, at
or near the Episcopal Church, a large Cistern
or Reservoir to hold some thousands of gall
lons2 The roof of that building would sup
Fly an abundant amount of water for the pur-
poses Of Gre, Improperly distributed through
out the town. Our town guardians will now
see the importance of looking this matter
square in the face aud provide the necessary
amount Of water to prevent serious cnnfa-
grafton. Perhaps the Insurance Companies
represented here would join in n subscription
to the measure.
Wouid it not alao be we'll to encourage the
formation of another Fire Company? We
think that it would stimulate and encourage
a more thorough organization of the entire
department.

The Old Home.


The old Homestead has passed into
Eother hands, aOh, with what o weary
longing we Rtter those words with
what tenderness do we think. of the
Old Home, with its many rooms,
every nook and corner of which we
know so well. Then there is the old
orchard, where we sat for hours
building castles in the air, and the
cherry trees that we climbed in
our youth Then our hearts were
light, and we knew not what sorrow
meant. We love that dear Old Home.
But the loved ones are all gone. Oh,
what desoiation thrre is in Orphan
hood. When we were weary and
heaIt-sick, and our burdens seemed
more than we could bear, we could
always be cheered by parents love
and counsel, always sure of a welcome
there. But the Circle is broken, and
Home and Hearts made desolate.-
There are the roses. both red and
white, that mother loved so well. They
blossom there still in their fragrance,
and beauty, They seem to mock at
our sorrow; but they are sacred me-
mentoes of our ehildhood's Home. 1t
will be sad pleasure. to sometimes
visit the place where we were born
but we shall look in vain for the kind
face that always greeted us, at the
window. Half of that circle have
passed to that better home. Shall we
all meet there DAISY.

JAPANESE WOMEN.
from the Atlantic Monthly. 4

From the Atlantic Monthly - aa4 if9
Naturally there are no figures more
perfect than those of the Japanese
young women. The children, up TO
the age of fourteen, or as long as they
have the free use of their limbs, are
models of symmetry. About that
time they begin to fasten long gar
ments about their hips, the effect of
which is to impepe their gait, aud give
them an awkward shamble. In course
of time it does worse, and interrUpts
the development of their legs, and
thighs. Among the laboring class an
additional misshapeniug is accom-
pIished by the practice OF carrying
burdens. from an early age, upon the
back, for the support of which broad
straps are passed over the shoulders
and breasts. When Japanese girl
reaches the age of sixteen without
having undergone either of the pro-
cesses of deformity, she is a wonder
to the eye, and remains so until tWen-
ty-five, possibly little later. Then
she ceases to charm for certain peri
cd, in any way excepting by her man.
ner, and that is generally preserved to
the last. But as she grows old she
has chance of becoming qnite de-
lightful again. There is othing pret-
tier than dignifed and white-haired
old Japanese lady. She is always
happy, for she is always much respect
ed and cherished by her youngers, and
at certain age the natural high breed
ing of the race appears in her 10 at
tain its cFYstalization. Whatever her
station in life. sheis almost always sure
to suggest an idea of ancient nobility,
and to be surrounded by an atmos-
phere of an Oriental Faubourg St.
German.

81 thank you," or, "Yo on are very
kind" Doubly; yes, thrice sweet
from the lips were love, when heart
smiles make the eye sparkle with the
clear light of affection.
Be polite to your children. Do you
expect them to be mindful of your
welfare; to grow glad at your ap-
proach; t8boHnd away to do your
pleasure 9asore your request is half
spoken2 Then, with all your dignity
and authority, have politeness. Give
it a niche in your household temple.
Only then will you have the true Sc
cret of sending out into the world
really finished gentleman and ladies.
Again we say unto all--be polite.

THE Bloomfield Times says: Last
week Mr.. Henry Kline, of Juniata
township, brought to this office one of
the most remarkable curiosities we
ever saw. This consisted of a hens
egg, having a well developed snake
inside the shell. The egg was one
fresh laid aud full size. When brok-
en-, Mr.. Kline noticed something
mixed in the white which he thought
he would take out. He therefore
lifted it up, when he noticed it move,
and close examination showed a tom
que dart out in the most approved
snake fashion, while the eyes could
be plainly seen. So singular a freak
of nature was worth particular notice,
and so he placed the egg and snake in
a glass and brought it to this Office,
where it was examined by a great
number of persons, all of whom
expressed their astonishment. The
snake about two inches long, and
about as thick as turkey quill, and
was almost colorless, The questions
which naturally arise are, how did it
come there, and what would have
been the result had the egg boen
hatched?
