How TO he Happy.

Nobody is happy who is not con-
ceited. So it curieusly happens that
only for imperfect characters is reserved
the life of perfect enjoyment. There is
no content so all-embraciDg, so pervad-
ing and invigorating as self-content.
The philosophers hold out other means
of happiness, but they are moonshine
to this. The man whose bosom con-
tains a perpetual principle of self
esteem, possesses balm for every woe:
The blues that SO easily beset the rest
of humanity are unknown to him. His
ways are ways of pleasantness. The
winds and the rains may blow and dash
against him; the hurricane may shake
his window-shutters and topple over
his chimneys but within all his peace.
Be conceited and you will be happy

Unmarried women In China.

1t is extremely gratifying to note that
in China a woman may grow old and re-
main unmarried without being con-
sidered a disagreeable person to have
about. In fact, it is rather nice than
otherwise to be an old maid there. A
Shanghai journal tells us that the
Emperor has just decreed that special
honors be paid to two ancient spjnsters,
one of whom has recently died after a
life of devotion of the memory of her
dead betrothed. The other spinster,
who is still living, has the extraordinary
fact related of her that in her youthful
days she refused to marry an eligible
young person on the ground that she
couldn't leave her home. When the
Emperor heard this he instantly ordered
her noble conduct to be recognized.

TESTING DYES FOB ADULTERATIoS.-
Red dyes mus. neither color soap and
water nor lime water, nor must they
themselves become yellow or brown
after boiling. This test shows the
presence or absence OF Brazil wood,
archil, safiioTer, sandal wood, and the
sniline colors. Yellow dyes must stand
being boiled with alcohol. water. and
lime water. The most stable yellow is
madder yellow the least stable are
anatto and turmeric fustic is rather
better. Blue dyes must not color alco-
hol reddish, nor must they decompose
on boiling with hydrochloric acid. The
best purple colors are composed of
indigo and cochineal, or purpurin. The
former test applies also to them. Orange
dyes must color neither water nor alco-
hol on boiling green, neither alcohol
nor hydrochloric acid. Brown dyes
must not lose their color on standing
with alcohol, or on boiling with water.
If black colors have a basis of indigo,
they turn greenish or blue on boiling
with sodium carbonate il the dye be
pure gall nuts, it turns broEn. II the
material changes to red on boiling with
hydrochloric acid, the coloring matter
is logwood without a basis of indigo,
and is not durable. II it changes TO
blue, indigo Is present.

NEW SURGICAL DEVICES. Two great
surgical novelties have lately been in
troduced into European hospital prac-
tice. The first is the sspirator, origi-
mated by DR.. P. Smith, which has been
extensively employed by DR.. Diculaioy,
of Paris. By his instrument fluids can
be extracted from formations at some
distance from the surface, with safety
and certainty. The second novelty is
the introduction OF bloodless method
of amputation and other operations on
the limbs by means of compressing
bsndage, by which the limb is blaIched
with circular elastic cord, which COM
presses both the arteries and veins of
the limb. This plan, proposed By
Professor Esmarch, has been adopted
by many hospital surgeons. 1t tremains
to be seen whether there are any draw
backs to this system, and especially
whether, in certain cases, embolism is
likely TO result from displacement Of
clot, which may have already formed in
the veins of damaged limb.

should be potted. Cut the meat from
the bone, chop fine, and season high

YEAST -CAKEs.-I was making bread
the other day, and there was q little
more sponge than 1 wanted; so took
out quart and set it aside to make dry
yeast, which did by thickening it with
corn meal until it was stiff enough to
put upon the bread-board and form
into large roll, which cut into little
slices, and dried in the May sunshine.
l think the July or August sun would
be SO hot that it might weaken its
properties but it dried excellently in
the Nay sun and wind in two days it
was ready to put away, making an
addition to my stock of yeast which
will last six weeks longer. I shall not,
however, make my nert yeast this way,
for the hop element would become too
weak but by this little extra work
upon baking-day, 1 need not make new

THE French Geographical Society
proposes the formation of an inland sea
to the south of the French colony Of
Algeria. There are in Northern Africa
lakes known by the name of chotts,
which run dry at certain periods of the
year. A chain of these cho.ts, the first
of which is only separated from the
Mediterranean by sandy downs, extends
as far as Biskra to the sCuth of Con-
stantine. The last of the chain being
% metres below the ievel of the sea, it
is thought by Chott, to admit the waters
of the Mediterranean to this series OF
lakes, and thus form a salt water lake
at the southern extremity of the chain,
important enough to admit Of the crea-
tion of seaports.

To ROAST a RABDIT.-Fiil it with
forcemeat, sew it up, truss, and roast
at e clear, brisk fire and baste it con-
stantly with butter. Flour il well soon
after il is laid down. Serve it with good
brown gravy, and with currant Jelly,
when this last is liked. For change,
the back Of the rabbit may be larded
and the bone left in or not, at pleasure;
or it can be plain roasted when more
convenient. 1t will take one hour to
roast.

To CONVERT a fair complexion into
one of African hue, persuade some fair
lady to improve her complexion with
bismuth pearl powder (many do it vol
untarily) then let her enjoy the per-
fume OF the sulphydric acid, and she
will gradually blacken. A curious in
stance OF the action of water on an acid
solution is noticed by dissolving sub
nitrate OF bismuth in muriatic acid, and
then pouring it into a glass of water,
when it gives the latter the appearance
of milk.
To prepare a gas heavier than air,
place some pieces Of chalk or marble in
a deep jar, or in bottle like that used
for hydrogen, and pour some muriatic
acid on them. Efervescence takes
place, and taper lowered into the jar
is extinguished /; or if the gas, which is
called earbonic acid, be collected in
another vessel, IL may be poured from
one vessel to another like water. The
substance formed when marble is dis
solved in muriatic acid is called calcium
chloride, and may be used for some
interesting experiments Fill three
glasses with water, and to the first add
a little sulphuric acid, to the second
some carbonate of ammonia, to the third
some oxalic acid and ammonia. On
pouring the solution of calcium chic
ride into these glasses it will in every
case form, unless too dilute, a milky
liquid.

SOMETHING CERTAIN AT LAST.-PiIes
is not only one of the most painful of
human diseases, but professional men
had almost despaired OF finding rem-
edy, until the introduction of ANAKEsIs
by DIR. SILsBEE, and after an experience
of 10000 cases in five years, doctors
agree that an infallible remedy has
been found. Sufferers will appreciate
ANAKEsIs after trying everything else
in vain and then experiencing the bliss
of instant relief and ultimate cure.
