THE SINGERS.

God sent his singers upon earth
with aongs Of sadness and Of mirth.
Thar they might touch the hearts of men,
And bring them back to heaven again.
The first, youth. with soul of FIRE,
Held in his hand o golden lSro;
Through groves he wandered. and by streams
Playing the music OF our dreams.
Tho second, with o bearded face,
Stood singing in the market place,
And stirred with accents deep and loud
The hearts OF all the listening crowd.
A gray old man, the third and last,
Sang in cathedrals dim and vast,
While the majestic organ rolled
Contri, ion from its mo uths of gold.
And those who heard the Singers three
Disputed which the best might be;
For still their music seemed to start
DESCENDANT echoes in each heart
But the great Master said, Ut sos
No boat In kind, but in degree;
gave various gift to each,
To charm, to strengthen, and to teach.
81 These are the three great chords of might
And he whose ear Is tuned Alright
Will hear no discord in the three,
But the most perfect harmony"

AN ECCENTRIC RUSSIAN CRGsUs."-
The Continental Herald gave an account
the other day of the opening of a Russian
Chapel erected in the canton of Tessin by
a baron whom the local papers call "Rus-
sian Crmsus." 1t seems that this gentle
man has become so entraDced by the seem
cry at Lugauo that he has resolved on
building magnificent chateau in the
neigborhood. The building will cost five
million francs, the decorations 800 600
francs, aud the furniture about as much
more bat this will be but bagatelle to
the owner If, as the Tessinois journals say,
he has an annual income of 100000
francs. They set down his encourage as
30 Russian servants, 16 Russian and Swe-
dish singers, and so musicians, who cost
him alone 10000 francs year. In order
to crafty further his musical taste a cele-
brated prim1 doRa is engaged occasionally
for his exclusive enjoyment, and by way of
keeping his orchestra in practice the mem

An Artificial Face.

At a recent meeting of the Medical SOci-
ETY. of London, member, DIR. Hutchln-
son, exhibited patient who had lost a
large portion of his face by disease, and to
whom the deficiency was supplied by arti-
ficial means in a way similar to that by
which some of our dentists treat loss of
palate, nose, etc.
The disease had resulted in the destrue-
ton of the superior maXilla, all the
spOngy bones, and also the soft parts, in
Guiding the nose, some of the cheek, the
upper lip, and nearly all of the soft palate.
A rhinO-plastic operation being deemed I'M
practicable, the case was treated mechani-
cally. To supply the lost parts internally
an apparatus was constructed of vulcanite,
bearing mineral teeth, which articulated
with those of the lower jaw, and this was
held in position by the vulcanite being
adapted to the whole of the inner surface
of the nasal fosse, thus affording a hold
by means of suction. For the sake of
lightnesS the whole of the apparatus was
hollow, while the outer surface was coated
with soft gutta percha; the floor OF the
artificial piece formed the roof OF the
mouth. Mr.. Hutchinson had also made
an artificial nose of vulcanite. This was
fixed to the mans face by an elastic band
which passed around the head. The juno
ton was partially hidden by means of
moustache fixed to the upper lip, which
was also artificial. Mr.. Hutchinson COM
ments on the fact that the mans occupa-
ton (he was masOn) and his position in
life compelled him to treat the case in the
simplest manner possible. Various deli
icate improvements in the shade of color,
mode of attachment, and usefulness of
mastication, could be made in the case of
persons in a higher sphere of life, who
would appreciate delicacy of manipulation.

Eggs VS.. Meat.

Would it not be well to substitute more
eggs for meat in our daily diet? About
one-third of the weight of an egg is solid
nutriment. This is more than can be said
of meat. There are 10 bones and tough
pieces which have to be laid aside. a good
egg is made up of ten parts shell, sixty
parts white and thirty parts yelk. The
white of an egg contains eightv-siX per
cent water; the yelk fifty-twO per cent.
The average weight of an egg is about two
ounces. Practically an egg is animal
food, and yet there is none of the disagree
able work of the butcher necessary TO OBJ
tain it. The vegetarians of England use
eggs freely, and many of these men are
eighty and ninety years old, and have been
remarkably free from illness. A good egg
is alive. The shell is porOws, and the oxy-
gen of the air goes through the shell and
keeps up a kind of respiration. An egg
soon becomes stale in bad air, or in very
dry air charged with carbOnic acid. Eggs
NAV be dried and made to retain their
goodness for long time, or the shell may
be vanished, which excludes the air, when,
if kept in a moderate temperature, they
may be kept good for years. The French
people produce more eggs than any other,
and ship millions of them to England an
nually. Fresh eggs are more transparent
at the center, old ones on the top. Very
old ones are not transparent in either
place. In water in which one-tenth of salt
has been dissolved, good eggs sink and in
different ones swim. Bad eggs float in
pure water. The best eggs are laid by
young, healthy hens. If they are properly
fed, the eggs are better than if they are al
lowed to eat all sorts of food. Eggs are
best when cooked four minutes. This
takes away the animal taste that is oEen-
sive to some, but does not so harden the
white or yelk as to make them hard TO di-
gest. An egg, if cooked very hard, is diff
ficult of digestion, except by those with
stout stomachs; such eggs should be eaten
with bread masticated very finely. An ex-
eellent sandwich can be made with eggs
and brown bread. An egg spread on toast
is fit for king, if kings deserve any better
food than anybody else, which is doubtful.
Fried eggs are less wholesome than boiled
ones. An egg dropped into hot water is
not only a clean and handsome, but deli
ciOus morsel. Most people spoil the taste
of their eggs by adding pepper and salt.
A little sweet butter is the best dressing.
Eggs contain much phosphorus, which
is supposed to be useful to those who use
their brains much.-PouLtyy Review.

Directing a Postal Card.

The ePoughkeepsie (N.Y. Nsl0s says: On
Saturday letter was received on a postal
car on the hudson River Railroad, having
this queer direction: First came the name
of the party to whom the letter was in
tended-Rev. Mr.. Somebody or other.
Below this, neatly fastened TO the envel-
Ope, was a fish-hOOk, painted red. Then
came the rest of the direction, ''Dutchess
County, New York" The clerks looked
at it, pondered the matter deeply, and
were inclined after severe study to give
the matter up, like hard conundrum.
After a while one of them suggested Fish
kilras the destination of the letter, fish
hook being used to kill fish, of course.
That did for first guess, but another
clerk beat it all hollow by suggesting
Red Hook" This evidently was the
place meant by the funny letter-writer.
But another difficulty arose. There are
two Red Hook post-Offices in Dutchess
county; one is Red Hook proper, or
.'lower,'' and the other is Upper Red
Hook. To which of these offices should
the letter go? Further study caused that
trouble to vanish also, for was not the
point of the fish-hOok turned downward
to indicate the lower Red Hook? OF
course it was, and the clerk triumphantly
deposited the letter in the lower Red
Hook mailbag, and before this time
doubtless the dominic has had his eyes
gladdened by the sight of the red tish-hOOk
sent to the lower Red Hook by his wag-
gish correspondent.

The Streets of Moscow.

Russia boasts her civilization, but civili-
Zation cannot be called perfect till the art
of keeping clean is thoroughly understood
and thoroughly put in practice. From the
following description of the old MuscOyite
capital by a foreign correspondent we
should suppose the city needed another
fire equal to the one that burned it down
i'll the path of Bonaparte /:
When the thaw comes, and the sun be-
gins to shine, Moscow becomes a city OF
stinks. All the long-imprisoned animal
and vegetable matter which the frost has
kept sweet all the winter, now pOisons the
air and by the month of May the cholera
usually sets in. Russia is the headquar-
tiers of cholera, and no wonder, consider
ing that in matters of cleanliness and
common decency the Russians, as ma
ton, are vet children. Indeed. it is from
Russia that the cholera taint has been
waited westward into Europe.
Europe suffers by its prOpinquity to
Russia, Just as a cottager suffers from his
neighbor's dunghill, be his own cottage
and belongings ever so clean. No words
can give am idea of the filthy and neg
lected state of a Russian town in spring
and summer. In spring, for instance,
owing to the bad paving and draining,
every street is either a water-cOurse or a
mOrass.
AT Moscow, especially, owing to the ma
ture of the soil, the stones sink and become
displaced, and the black mud Oozes be
tween them. \ horse that has sunk up to

Heroic Rescue.

The Old Colony (Mass.) Memorial has
the following account of an act of hero
ism:
One afternoon when a sudden storm Oc-
CURED, Oscar Marsh, of Duxbury, assist
ant keeper, was in charge of Plymouth
upper lighthouse, which stands just out
side the harbOr. Just before the squall
Henry Marsh, brother of Oscar, came
near the light in his sail boat and had a
conversation with Oscar. Immediately
after leaving, and when in mid channel be-
tween the lighthouse and Dicks Flat, the
squall struck his boat which was at once
thrown down, the ballast shifted, and she
remained upon her beam ends. Oscar saw
the accident from the light, but was appa-
rehtly without means of assistance, the.
only boat in the vicinity being a small
dOry anchored some forty yards from the
light Meanwhile, Henry had crawled
upon the exposed portion of the boat,
where he clung for life, the water rising
rapidly, the wind meeting the tide, and
causing short, cOmbing sea. A moment,
and Oscar had made up his mind.
He first lit the lighthouse lamps, that
they might be in readiness in case of any
accident to himself. Then, stripping off
all his clothes, he lashed pair of oars to
MS Ddck, anu ledplnS ITOm Ine DulIulng
into the water, now raging with the full
force of the sudden gale, he started to
swim for his dory. 1t was a tOilsome SER
vice, but at last safely performed, and soon
after he was alongside the wreck, but not
a moment too soon to save his brother
from his perilous position. Taking Hem
ry into the dory. almost helpless from ex-
haustiOn, they strove to save the sail boat,
and finally succeeded in towing her into
safe anchorage, with the loss only of an oar
and rudder.
The whole performance occupied about
an hour, and at its conclusion both BROTH
ers were saved from death and in the light
house, nearly prOstrated from the long
exposure and severe exertiOn.

Factory Butter.

| Under the factory system, the market
is now supplied with cheese of good and
uniform quality, and at prices that cores
pond favOrably with other articles of diet
| in daily use. 1t is true there is still much
cheese placed upon the market that is of
inferior quality, and, also, large quantities
of rich cheese that, from imperfect ripen-
ing, will not bear transportation, especi-
ally to foreign markets. Nevertheless, we
are yearly improving in this direction, and.
undoubtedly, will continue to do so until
we shall produce cheese that shall rank as
first-class in any market in the world. As
this Is being brought about, the cOnsump-
ton and demand will increase, thus giving
new impetus to this important industry.
The present lack in dairyingin the West,
is a system by which butter can be made
by the same system as is cheese for fac
tory butter, like factory cheese, always
commands an extra price. That is, while
it does not, perhaps, bring the price OBJ
tanned by certain individuals who make
large quantities Ofbutter. in home dairies,
it does bring prices higher than are OBJ
tanned by what are considered to be good
dairymen. What is now wanted, is the
fostering of butter factories, or the COM
bining of butter-making with cheese-mak-
ing i'm the same factories, so that, in the
spring and fall, and during the winter,
when fresh-made butteralways commands
good prices. more attention could be paid
to its manufacture.
There is every indication, now, that first
class butter will command higher prices
than usual this fall and winter. This was
the case last winter; in fact tirst-class but
ter always commands high prices in the
West, and the reason why such is the case
is that there is never full supply of what
was, at one time, known as gilt edge"
butter, but which now is not taken on this
brand unless the maker is well known.
Really tirst-class butter, however, will
bring a large price even in summer, if
sent to market cool, and thereafter kept so.
When butter can be contracted for at
thirty cents the year through, there is full
ly as much or more money in il, as in
cheese at current prices, if the value of the
skinned milk and butter milk be taken
into account.
While butter may be manufactured in
small dairies, Of fully as good quality as in
large ones, there are certain necessities as
ice, uniform packages, and facilities fO-
carrying and shipping, that are absolutely
necessary. These can be more cheaply
obtained in factories, for the amount of
butter made, than they can be in small
dairies. These, aggregated, would form
a great saving in the manufacture of but
ter, and consequently in the profits, to say
nothing of the absolute uniform quality
of the product. For this reason, we again
urge the more general establishment of
butter factories in the West, either sepa-
rately, or, as we believe would be more
in connection with cheese fac

A Texas Romance.

Years ago, and yet not so many, for il
has been since the war, some disagree.
ment arose between a couple of married
folks in one of the old States, and after
much pain and suffering and public ex.
pOSure of family affairs in the courts, a
decree of divorce was obtained and they
who had stood at the altar of Hymen to
be Joined in union were parted at the altar
of Justice, to which they had appealed.
Their own way each of them turned, and
long years have come and gone since then.
The husband and father travelled with his
burden to the golden shores of California.
and there, no doubt, tried hard to forgive
and forget. The wife and mother, with
their babe, struggled with the skeleton of
her deadened life and in time came to
Texas. By some fatality the husband
came to Texas also.
Last Friday they both were aboard the
train bound from Galveston to this city.
The little daughter, while looking curl
Ously over the car at all the strange faces,
suddenly caught sight of her long gone
father. Before her mother could stay her,
she had rushed to him crying Papa
papa ~ The greeting of father and child
was touching and beautiful. All the old
emotions, all the smothered love of wife
and child, came back in an instant.
Mamma is here" said the little girl
''cOme and go to her." And she led her
father up to the astonished mother, and
poetic predestination was accomplished.
They met and talked as of yore, and soon
all was well with them again. Chastened,
as by fire, they seemed to know each other
better. The sequel is soon told.
After reaching Houston the services of
Rev. Mr.. Hackett were called for, license
obtained, and the marriage vows resumed
with a far better understanding of their
nature and sanctity. And thus it is ''All's
well that ends well. ."-Houston (Teras)

The New King of the Turf.

\ Saratoga letter to the New York
Graphic says: Not having seen the great
race, the next thing was to see the vic
torious racer; so to-day drove out to call
upon FellOwcraft. Fellowcraft is as gen.
tie as little dog, and submitted to being
kissed and patted with a quietness that
almost became patroniZing condescension.
He has not a proud air, however, like
some of the racers of his family, notably
his uncle, Asteroid, who always strikes an
attitude when visitors approach him. Fell
lowcraft looks rather meek, but vet has an
air of determination, as if conscious that
when things become serious he would
show who was who. He is chestnut, and
has some of the Lexington marks. pair
of very long white stockings on his hind
legs, and gOOd-siZed star on his forehead.
His name and tail are decidedly blonde,
just the red-yellow with which the blonde
of the period has familiarized u.s. He had
on his travelling clothes of red flannel. but
one of his attendants kindly removed his
bonnet to show his face. Fellowcraft hurt
himself not a whit in the race; he came
in-thOse present at the finish told me
perfectly fresh. and looking as if he could
run another four miles. He ate good
square meal, full rali0ns, as soon as it was
offered him after the race, and no better
sign of health can a horse evince,
