DANGERS OF NITRO o-GLYCERINE.-Nit
glycerine is a thick colorless oil, and
appears to be as harmless, to look at,
as lard oil or petroleum. People are so
accustomed to the handling of oils of
all kinds that it is almost impossible to
make them realize the danger that turks
even in the smallest quantity of nitro
glycerine. 1t explodes when gently
struck, and is ten times more powerful
as an explosive, weight for weight, than
gunpowder. The other evening, in
Jersey City, a gentleman and lady were
taking moonlight stroll on the nights,
in the vicinity of one of the shafts of
the new Delaware and Lackawanna
railway tunnel. The man saw on the
ground the glimmer of small tin tube,
picked it up. and slapped it from one
hand to the other, wnen a terrific ex-
plosion ensued. His eyes were de-
stroyed, his flesh lacerated, his limbs
broken, while his lady companion was
dreadfully injured. 1t was discarded
nitro -glycerine tube, such as are used in
blasting, and is supposed to have been
thrown away by workmen at the tunnel
shaft.

RATHER INGENIOUS. - There was a
bishop in Dublin who engaged apainter
to make large picture for the cathe-
dral. The subject chosen was the
crossing of the Red Sea by the Israel
ties. After a time the picture was CON-
pleted and hung in the cathedral, COW
cred by heavy curtain, and a great
crowd of people assembled to see it
unveiled. All faces were turned In
expectation t. the curtain. But 10
when it WAS drawn aside, nothing could
be seen but "a vast expinse of water. In
d rage, the bishop turned to the artist
and exclaimed
''I Thought L asked you to paint a
picture of the Israelites crossing the
Re-, SAa -
"rrue for you; that's just it," said
the painter.
''Blt where are the Israelites ?" asked
the indignant bishop.

painter.
.'well, but where are the Egypt

FOREIGN NEEDs.-No less than 214
species of plants which come under the
popular designation of "weeds" have
been introduced into the United States
from foreign countries. Chickweed,
which is native of most paris of Europe
and Asia, was first introduced into South
Carolina as food for canary birds, and
soon spread all over the country.

DE-. Walkers CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BIrTERs.-We can aver, that after one
years experience in the use OF VINEGAR
BIrrERs in our own household, We have
never found any medicine which so
completely remedied nearly all human
ills. One of the great levers which
this medicine brings to bear upon the
system is, it attacks the irregularities
of the stomach. 1t pitches into the
liver, and perfectly astonishes that
vital organ, which in some people is so
lazy. 1t sets it to work with vigor. A
good appetite and digestion follow.
Food assimilates, and the whole man
is at once made new. His blood, which
is the life of the flesh, rushes through
the arteries, imparting tone to the
system which is easier felt than de-
scribed.
This subject may seem OF little i'm
portance to some of our readers. But
it is not so. Good health is more pre-
cious than fine gold. He who discov-
ers or lnvents remedies which enable
us to overcome disease is a benefactor
of his race.-Teras Nev Yorker, Octo-
Der. 1870. 50

The DIAGNOSIS OF LIPoMATA.-An
excellent suggestion is made in French
journal. A character peculiar to ipo-
msta resides in the property, belonging
to all fatty tumors, of hardening under
the action of cold. When, after the use
of ice or the ether spray, in the case of
a doubtful tumor, the growth becomes
harder, the presumption il that it is
Gpoma.

ACCORDING to Rochard, veterinary
surgeon, simple method of preventing
flies from annoying horses consists in
painting the inside of the ears, or any
other part especially troubled, with a
few drops of empyreumatic oil of ju-
niper. 1t is said that the odor of this
substance is uncomfortable to flies, and
that they will keep at distance from
the parts so anointed. II this treatment
should accomplish the alleged result,
it may perhaps, be equally applicable
in repelling mosquitoes from the face
and hands OF tourists and sportsmen
when passing through the woods or
meadows.

Poetry.
TOO LATE.
BY ALFRED II. LOUIS

With burning brow on fevered hand,
Slow fading with the fading day,
/ sat beside the darkling strand
While moaning tide and land-wind say;
Thy wide world died by land and sea
With that great heart that died for thes.
The sighings OF her wasting breast
Were breathed to cold, unanswerins night
Alone, forsaken- and unguessed.
She passed, 3 bighted flower, from sight;
And now the land-wind bears my cry
To deaf abyss of sesgard sky.
A single stars Implying gleam
Lights up the storm-weed at my feet;
And. shore-cast wreck, SIT and dream
While my lost heart, with waning beat,
Breaks slowly, by the breaking sea,
For that great heart that brake for me-

SUMNER DIEr-Whoever takes his
morning walks through the markets
may there behold the crisp lettuce and
cauliflower, the brittle radish and the
succulent pea, and all the glorious
pomp of vegetables, fresh from their
native soil. Who can resist the fra
grant berries and the long array of early
fruits that only need little wisdom to
make them food fit for gods Or the
dried fruits tempt those who fear the
green and fresh. Then there is the
economical and brain-feedIng fish, the
lobster, and the clam. All these, with
many farinaceous preparations-bredd,
rice, tapioca, and SO on-:urnish forth
table that strengthens while 1t cheers
and cools. Depend upon it, there is
something besides mere sentimental
fastidiousness that repels when We LOOK
in upon circle of hearty meat eaters
in the heat of a summers day. The
healthy stomach instinctively revDlts
from the steam of the groaning board ;
and though man may not live by bread
alone, he YES best and most comfOrta-
bly, when he suits his diet to his
climate. Train oil and seal-fat for an
Arctic winter fruit, fish, and vegeta-
bles for summer

RABIES IN ANTs.-Corrosive sublimate
it is said, has the most remarkable effect
upon ants, especially the variety of
insect which we lately described as
living upon fungi found on leaves of
trees. The powder, strewed in dry
weather across their path, seems to
drive every ant which touches it crazy.
The insect runs wildly about and tiercely
attacks its fellows. The news soon
travels to the rest, and the fighting
members of the community, huge fell
lows some three quarters of an inch In
length, make their appearance with
determined air, as if the obstacle would
be speedily overcome by their efforts.
As soon, however, as they have touched
the sublimate, s'ys the narrator IN the
Naturalist in Nicaragua, all the state
illness leaves them they rush about ;
their legs are seized hold of by some of
the smaller ants already affected by the
poison, and they themselves begin to
bite, and in a short time become the
centers of balls of rabid ants. As these
insects are one of the scourges of tropi
cal America, destroying vegetation in
immense quantities, it is probable that
this extraordinary remedy may be OF
considerable service to agriculturists.

How MUCH Coop COOKING has TO DO
WITH HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.
is no more important branch of ''pre
ventive medicine" than cooking. Bad
cooking may cause a dwindling OF the
race, ruination OF the temper and
deterioration of the morals. Good
cooking, on the other hand, is accom-
panied by national prosperity and do
mestic bliss. So say the promoters of
the National Training School of
Cookery, who are undoubtedly right in
the main and are deserving of all i'm
aginable success. Now cooking is both
an art and a science. For its progress
as an art we are not greatly concerned,
although our profession would un-
doubtedly suffer in pocket should fine
artcookery go out offashion. ELEGANT"
dishes are generally whited sepulchres,
and the forerunners of blue pills and
other disagreeable correctives. We
hope that the school will bnsy itself
mainly in imparting knowledge of the
scientific principles of cooking, and
will teach their cooks that the quality
par excellence which all food should
have is wholesomeness. The bulk of
the English people live in big cities,
and if we were asked to name the most
predominatlng characteristic of our
urbane population, We should say ''dys-
pepsia." Those who spend their days
in dark offices, chambers, or consulting
rooms, and keep their noses everlast-
ingly upon their respective grindstones,
seldom know that good digestion which
should wait on appetite. Hitherto their
dinners have not been so skillfully pre-
pared as to demand the least possible
effort from iaded stomach but let us
hope that the national disgrace of indi-
gestibility will no longer dim the
brightness of our hospitality, and the
number of patent medicines which are
sold so largely in this country as aids
to digestion will undergo a rapid
diminution.

Scientific.

QUALITIES Mosr EsTIMABLE IN THE
RosE A rose, taking all things into
consideration, is. perhaps, the most
splendid of flowers. Throwing aside
the national affection for our emblem.
the rose is appreciated for itself. 1t
has qualities peculiar to itself. 1t Is
beautiful, from the moment when the
color peeps from its green covering until
its flower is complete-handsome IN all
its stages. Its perfume is unequaled /;
and whether it be single bud or bloom
in the hand, a bush in the border, a
tree on the lawn, or climbing the pillar,
or winding around the archway, or
covering the front of house, 1t Is
equally admired.
In estimating the various qualities
which give value to the rose, we are
almost inclined to place that of con-
tinual blooming first, even before per
fume, although without this a rose
loses its great charm but continuous
Towering is of so much Importance, the
prolonging of the beauties OF the garden
is so essential. that We think ii OF more
consequence than any other feature.
See a garden, literally planted with
summer roses, in blaze of beauty In
June or July, and it is a second para
disc but what is it before or after that
period? The rose trees bereft of adorn-
ment are eyesores they are, in fact, In
the way until they bloom again. But
see the same or another garden, judi
ciously supplied with continuous bloom
ing roses of the nature of the common
China, and we have them in flower the
last of all our favorites. A frost that
will kill down dahlias to the ground
will only injure the flowers of the rose ;
the buds are scarcely damaged, and 1t
is not an uncommon thing to see con-
tinuous blooming roses Towering IN
mild autumn up to Christmas and be
it remembered that we have now hun
dreds of beautiful varieties possessing
this valuable quality.
We now come to a quality which is
of more importance than 1t at tirst
seems - nam~ly, thickness OF petal.
The advantages of this are, first, that,
whatever be the color, it is more dense
than it can be in tnin petal but apart
from the superiority of color, thick
petals are more lasting than thin ones,
auu sun auu Wluu5 nave lSoo SLCSt upon
them. A rose with thick petals will
remain perfect for days, while thin ones
are burnt or shrivelled in few hours ;
aud we hardly know of more disagree
able fault than speedy decay. To see
the ground strewed with petals in few
hours, and the plants disigured by the
remains of decayed flowers, is very far
from pleasant, and this Is Inevitably
the case with thinly petaled roses.
Upon the whole, the qualities OF a
good rose are-continuous blooming
thick, smooth-edged petals; flowers
round, forming half or two-thirds of a
bail, very double and full-faced, very
symmetrical and imbricated; wood
short jointed color dense, that is,
whatever its shade be. the color de-
cided and, if striped or blotched, the
stripes or blotches well defined.
