A Maine OuakeresS.

The KeRnebec Journal publishes the
following extraordinary story of the
change of religion experinced by a
Maine woman, and her welcome home
after an experience of nine years ::
"Nine years ago the wife of Friend
Daniel Pratt, at Davis's Mills, in Vas
scarborough, left her husbands bed and
board and removed to New Gloucester.

Whatever the cause of this proceeding
sufficient, probably, in her mind-it
was kept to herself She packed up
her furniture and quietly left for her
new home and associations. For nine
long years she has lived in her strangely
chosen home, in the meantime her de-
voted husband living alone at the old
homestead, keeping alive the fire On
the hearthstone and moving
along apparently contented and
happy, as though nothing unusual
had happened. But the strangest
part is the sequel The other day the
spirit moved the old lady to leave
Shakerdom, and return to the scenes
of her former home. This she does,
and is cordially received by the long
deserted but still faithful husband.
He goes more than half way to meet
the returning prodigal wife. The veal
season having passed, the old gentle
man slaughtered turkey, fattened for
the Christmas holidays, and there is
JOY in that house, undisturbed by the
complainings of any elder brother.
The neighbors got together and gave
public reception and supper in honor
of the event. And SO the aged couple,
who have passed the three quarters

gether again, contented and happy,
and hand in hand they step gently
down the western declivity of life to-

3 RUSSIA In ASIA.
The New Possessions of the Car In
IAhiva.

The New Possessions of the Czar II,
~ Ahiva.
Col. Wenjukoff, who may he called
the Won Sydow of the Russian staff.
has read an elaborate report to the I'M
perlal Geographical Society of St.
Petersburg ON the districts recently an
nexed to the empire, which gives a
rather unfattering picture of the adj
vantages gained by the addition. On
the whole eastern shore Of the Caspian.
he states, there is not a single point
suited for factory or for commercial
enterprise OF any sort, such efforts as
have been made for the establishment
OF these having completely miscarried.
Krasnovodsk, which has been spoken
OF as trading post, is in reality moth
ing better than petty military station,
and has to be supplied with drinking
water imported all the way from the
Caucasus. The normal tribes of the
steppe between this shore and the
Aral do not as yet acknowledge the
imperial supremacy at all, and
have no Russian officials resident
among them to represent them. The
Importance of Khiva, the geographer
continued, is often much overrated. it
being no more than a single large
oasis, dependent for it's cultivation on
an elaborate canal system, and even
with this barely able to supply the
population at present dependent upon
It. The complete annexation of the
S"nate would have been a great Gnan-
ciiIl mistake, since to hold it under
Russian administration could onlv
have been Gone at large outlay On
the other hand, the addition to Rus
sian territory Of the land on the right
bank of the ANN was necessary for
the security Of, and free access to, the
ports there. In this river and the
canal navigation connected with it lie
the real means for the development of
the resources of the best part of the
various territories gained. Col Wen
]ukoff's lecture was, on the whole, not
more remarkable for its interesting de-
tails than for the outspoken manner in
which it handled the policy with which
our own Asian interests are felt to be
SO much concerned.

| Der of pigs she will rear will pay for
the extra feed. Great care should be
used not to give the SOW, while in pig,
too much concentrated food. The prin-
cipal brood is farrowed in sping, and
consequently the SOW is kept in doors
| during winter. and she is too often fed
almost wholly on grain, which is apt to
keep her III a feverish and constipated
condition. This often causes the pigs
to be but poorly developed and too
puny to rear. She should be fed. as a
part of diet, upon roots-t urnips, beets,
carrots-or other green and laxative
food when obtainable, or. in lieu of
these, upon second crop clover cut
green, or upon nicely cured aftermath
OF timothy or other fine grass, with her
grain.
This is best if cut short and mixed
IN small quantity with the meal and
grain. But if none of these coarse
foods are at hand, then take bran and
very little oil meal, and mix all into
slop with the grain to be fed. This
Will keep the bowels of the breeding

grass. This latter diet, continued after
she has farrowed, will cause good

Mamma.

Peacham, in his "Truth of Ou]
Times" London, 1888 says: "Thert
are many that believe and affirm tina,
mamma, which is sold in the shops o.
our apothecaries, to be of the same
which fell from heaven and wherewitl
the lsraelites were fed" The common
mamma Of commerce is obtained by
making lncisions in the stem and
branches OF certain trees, natives OF
the South of Europe, which grow to a
height OF about twenty feet, and are
cultivated in plantations for the mama
they produce. The mamma by which
the lsraelltes were mlraculously fed is
supposed by some to be identical with
an emulation found on the stems OF a
shrubby plant which covers immense
plains In Arabia and Palestine. The
juice hardens on the branches and is
most abundant during hot weather, and
IS collected by the Arabs who cross the
desart, they using it as nutriment for
themselves and camels. Others hold
that it is not improbable that the man
IA OF the Israelites WAS the mama
llchen, which grows chiefly upon the
steppes OF Tartary in great numbers,
upon dead loamy soil and unfrequent-
ed rocky cliffs, loosely attached, and
consequently easily separated. When
it is collected in hollows, or per-
haps carried considerable distance by
high winds, it produces the re-
markable phenomenon of showers
of mamma rain. This ichen is usually
the size Of hazel nut, and when
ground up and baked as bread is eaten
quite generally. The commercial man
IA is a saccharine substance, white, IN
'odorous, of a sweetish taste, and in
medicine is used as gentle tonic.
Iamarlsk mama, or mama of Mount
Sinai, is obtained from the tamarisk
trees, which grow abundantly in that
vicinity. A thick transparent syrup
exudes from the trees, through the
punctures made by a small insect. and
dropping f1om the branches to the
ground, 1t is collected and cleaned. It
is eaten with bread, and is considered
delicacy; it Is also said to be effica.

Syria the larch exudes from it's leaves
and branches honeyed Juice, which,
on becoming hard, is called mamma or
briancon. The cedar of Lebanon pro-
duces small quantities CT transparent
resinous drops, called mamma by the
monks, who collect it and prepare from
1T various ointments, which have con-
siderable reputation as remedy for
phthisis. Australian mama is much

Useful Hints and ReceIpfs.

GREASE UPON Floors. An Iowa lady
writes that grease can be readily drawn
from an implanted kitchen floor by
putting plenty of soft-soap on the
grease spot, and rubbing a hot fiat
iron through the soap. One appIica-
ton generally sufices; sometimes
another is required, washing thorough
ly afterwards.
10 KEEP ONIONS. The best way of
keeping onions for family use is the
old-fashloned one of stringing them.
Gather them without breaking off the
tops. Take up three or four and
string through the tops, and tie a
string around them to secure them
firmly. Add more onions, and tie I'M
til you have string a foot or more in
length. Hang them in dry place and
they will keep any length Of time.
How To TAKE A PILu.-Place it I'M
per the tip of the tongue, and take a
drink of water. The biggest bolus
Will go down almost without your
knowing it. The taste left in the
mouth after taking such bitter medi-
clnes as quinine, aloes, nux-vomica,
etc, IS instantly neutralized by
chewing piece of iquorice root.
LIGHT IN THE Room FOR THE Sick
The late physician to the Emperor
OF Russia made a careful study of the
effect of light as curative agent In
the hospital of st. Petersburg. He
discovered that the number Of patients
who were cured IN rooms properly
lighted was four times as large as it
was when they were confined in dark
rooms.
PREVENTIVE WASH FOR SUNBURN. -
Take two drachms of borax, one drachm
of Roman alum, one drachm of cam
phor, half an ounce Of sugar candy,
one pound of OK gall. Mix these all
together, and stir them we'll for ten
minutes; repeat the stirring four times
day for fortnight, at the end of
which time the lotion will appear clear
and transparent. Stra n through blot
ting paper and bottle for use. Wash
your face with this every time you go
into the sunshine.
fastening THE RIPEN1NG OF PEARS.
One of our Yankee cultivators, as an
experiment, removed the earth about
an early pear tree eight weeks before
the normal period of ripening, for a
space OF 13 to Is feet in diameter, and
to such an extent as to leave depth of
earth over the roots of only about two
inches or so, which could be thorough
ly warmed by the sun. He was sur
prised not only by the ripening of the
fruit IN the middle of July, but also 10y
It's superior juciness and flavor. In
another experiment the removal of the
earth from the north side of a tree
alone caused the fruit on that side to
ripen several days earlier than that on
the south side.-Boston Journal of
Chemistry.

Paper Boxes.

An Albany genius has patented an
invention for making seamless paper
boxes from the pulp. They are much
stronger, and may be used for a
greater variety of purposes than when
put together in the old way. We have
paper -four barrels, and why not paper
dry goods boxes-lighter, cheaper and
handsomer. And this is a reminder
that the Japanese and the Chinese are
capable of giving our people a great
deal of instruction in the manufacture
of paper of a suitable consistency for
many household purposes of utility as
we'll as ornamentation, for which we
are at present using wood and metal.
Its extensive use for the manufacture
of clothing in this cold, wet climate
will probably never obtain, but in the
dry, warm Southern states there seems
no reason why it should not in some
degree supersede cotton and linen.
