Purifying the Blood.

MANY respectable families take it for
granted that some kind of spring medi-
cine is necessary to set the human sys-
tenn in working order as winters cold
gives way before the approach of warm
weather; whereas it is only necessary
for them to "cease to do evil and learn
to do WELL in their daily eating, drink
ing, breathing, working and playing.
Persons who have learned and pay
heed to the laws of health find no neces-
sity for spring medicines. They are all
of the time purifying the blood by their
simple daily habits. They aim to make
their blood of good nourishing materials,
and to " cleanse" it by pure air breathed
into the lungs.
1t seems to me more and more aston
ishing that the human body can stand so
much abuse, especially id the way of bad
air. People shut themselves into such
close rooms in winter, especially at night,
that it is no wonder that they are
driven to all sorts of stimulants to whip
up their tagging energies, and no Won
der that they are all run down" at the
end of winter. One of the most com
mon mistakes is the superstition that air
is pure in proportion 10 its GOODNESS, so
that you have only to open door into
an unheated room, whichis itself reser-
voir of foul air, perhaps, in order to ven
tilate sufficiently the living room or
sleeping room. But the mistakes in diet
alone are enough to account for the bill
iousness that prevails in early spring. "A
winter diet made largely of fat pork OF
| Of hot pancakes saturated with butter OF
fat will pretty surely bring some sort OF
sickness in its wake.-Faih Rochester, IN

Al Aslnated Bsuqsef.

LrcY HooPER, in Paris letter to the
Philadelphia Press, tells the following:
"A superb fancy ball has recently been
given at Mentone by the Countess de
P. The hostess wore gorgeous
Russian costume, with tiara composed
of precious stones, from which fell long
white veil. The most successful dress Of
the evening was Pierrot costume worn
by young physician, who, by some mis-
take, did not receive his invitation till
the very day on which the ball was to
take place, of course too late to send to
Paris for dress. Being an inventive
gentleman, he devised costume which
for elegance and originality could not be
surpassed. Hiring plain white Pierrot
dress, he sent out and bought up all the
Parmese violets which CHANGED to bloom
in the gardens Of the city. He then
hired five work-women to sew these VIC
lets In little clusters all over his dress as
close as they could be set. This was ac-
complished in few hours, 50 at the sp-
pointed time the physician entered the
ballroom transformed into a perfumed
and animated bouquet of violets. The
sensation he created was immense. The
ladies all crowded around him and were
invited to pluck the fragrant ornaments
from his dress, which they did with such
hearty goodwill that he was soon de-
spoiled Of his purple decorations"

The Farmers Horse.

To THE farmer the horse is the con.
centration of animal worth. He may
make his subsistence from his swine or
his cattle or his sheep, but next to
mother earth itself, his gain is depend
ent upon the active, patient, willing
bundle of nerve, sinew and intelligence
done up in the skin of the horse. Swine
and cattle and sheep may be driven TO
market, or slaughtered at home, and
dollars and cents make the parting
cheerful and glad. But if old Dob.
bin" is lame, or sick, or is led away by a
purchaser, though greenbacks paper the
stall IN which he stood, there is pang
to all the household, as though one of
its own members was in peril, or was
about parting from them. 1t is this in
tertwining of affection, based upon ap-
probation of spirit, dociliy, usefulness,
intelligence, beauty and grace, that
makes the horse next kin to man of all
the beasts Of the field that God has put
under him. Man may gently care for
the lambs OF the flock, the calves of the
herd, the sucklings of the sty-he may
watch over them and minister to them
be interested in their growth and devel-
opment, but ii is, after all, a sort of com
mercial feeling, care and interest.-Prai-

Half an EGG.

If statistics could be the saving of us
we ought all to be in the very best plight
at the beginning of the new year, for
paragraphs are beginning to appear in
all directions telling us exactly how many
pounds of bacon we have eaten in the
year, how much tea and how much
whisky and gin we have consumed per
head, and, in fact, all other things which
a Christian ought to know and believe
fer the benefit of his conversation at
small tea-parties. The plethora of sta
tistics reminds us OF . commission ap-
pointed in France to calculate the mum.
Der OF eggs laid in the country in the
year 1872. When the reports had all ar
rived and the calculations had all been
made it was found that the total was
1850, 222, 1881! Why this half. The
calculations were all gone over
again, but this half could not be Got
rld OF. There was great sensation
at the Ministry of Commerce. In all the
corridors nothing was to be seen but sec
retaries, under secretaries, clerks, mes
sengers, coming and going, and all busted
about this half egg. At last one Of the
clerks found report from ! Mayor Il
the Franche- Comte, stating that IN bis
district the number Of eggs laid had
been seventy.two thousand and : hall.

To Weave Hair.

A WRITER in the Household gives some
very plain directions how to weave hair
Take smooth board one and half
feet long and six or eight inches wide
Near one end drive three single nails
in row, the nails being half an inch
apart and the row running parallel with
the end of the board. At the other end,
opposite the middle nail, drive one nail
wax three pieces of linen thread. tie
them together at one end, and about a
quarter of an inch from this knot tie
another; now slip it over the nail that
stands alone, then tie one to each of the
three nails, drawing the thread consider.
ably tight.
Take the board in your lap, with the
three nails toward the right hand Next
take a bunch of hair, both the ends
evened, the size of knitting. kneedle,
wet that end and put it under the thread
nearest you, over the middle thread, and
under the last-then bring it back on the
left side, reversing the order. Now push
it close against the knot. Proceed in
this way until the strip is of the required
length. After it is dry it can be pushed
together more closely. Twist is supe-
rior to linen for durability.

The Office and utility of leaves are be-
coming better understood by cultivators
than formerly; yet we find a good many
still adhere to the old belief that the
suns rays shining directly on forming
fruit are what perfect it, independently
of other influences. On this subject
theory and practice have been invariably
found in perfect accordance with each
other. The principles of physiology
teach US that the sap Of a tree, when it
passes in at the roots, remains nearly IN
changed in its upward progress through
stem and branches until it reaches the
leaves, where, being spread out in those
thin organs to light and air, 1t undergoes
a complete change and thus becomes
suited to the formation of new wood and
new fruit. Strip rapidly growing tree
OF its leaves at midsummer, and from
that moment the supply of new wood
ceases and it will grow no more till new
leaves are formed; and if it has young
fruit the growth and maturity of the
latter will cease in the same way.
A few years since yellow gage
plum tree lost all its foliage from
leaf blight when the plums were
not fully grown and while yet destitute
of favor. The fruit remained stationary
and unaltered until in few weeks a sec.
end crop Of leaves came out. They then
swelled to full size, assumed their crimson
dots and received their honeyed sweet.
ness Of flavor. The object of pruning
should be, therefore, to allow the leaves
to grow to full size without being injured
from crowding. We find the following
corroborative fact stated in q late num-
Der of the Ne,c England Farmer: 1--WE
once knew an intelligent lady who
stripped her grape vines of a portion of
their leaves in order to let in the sun and
ripen the fruit; but to her surprise where
the leaves remained as nature had dis
posed them the grapes were the earliest
and every way the best This led her to
investigate the matter, when she was de-
lighted to learn that the leaves were not
only the protectors but the caterers of
the fruit, constantly celebrating and sup
plying it with the pabulum it required to
bring it to perfection. THE (London)

Around the Dinner.Ta fable.

A MERELY bounteous table is not al
ways welcome or appetizing. Two or
three dishes, well prepared and daintily
arranged, are superior to dozen care
lessly and inartistically put on. Hospi.
tally is often COMPOUNDED with profu-
sion, and some of US are apt to believe
that we play the host il, unless we per-
suade our guests into eating great deal.
This sort of entertainment is simply ma
terial, though it is commoner than we
think.
The pleasures of the table should ap-
peal to the eye and mind as well as to
the palate. Form should be consulted
grace should be indispensable. The
SAVIOR of food gains much from its set
ting and its accompaniment. A few
flowers, perfect order and neatness, with
congeniality and sympathy about the
board, will insure what an Apician feast
might not.
The day of uniformity in table as well
as other furniture has passed, the present
fancy being for oddness and variety
This, apart from picturesqueness, IS both
convenient and economical, since the
breaking of one or two pieces does not
necessitate the purchase of an entire new
set. 1t is not unusual now to see on ele-
CANT breakfast-tables each coffee-cup
different from its neighbor and no two of
the plates alike. But it is at tea-most
informal Of meals-that the greatest va
riety and the prettiest effects may be
produced.
Flowers have come to be indispensable
to many tables, and they will be, ere
long, let US hope, indispensable to all
They need not be rare nor costly. They
are so beautiful, even the plainest and
and poorest Of them, tina; nothing else
can supply their place. A few green
leaves, dozen wayside daisies, bunch
of violets, impart charm and awake in
US the touch Of nature
But more than all that is on the table
is the spirit brought to it. There can be
no high enjoyment of the senses unat-
tended by sympathy. Disquietude of
mind at table is the precursor of indiges-
ton. They who are invited to dinner
and take thereto anxiety and discomfort
defraud the host Of proper return for
his hospitality. No one has right to 60
socially where he does not hope to give
some sort of compensation. The table
cloth should be the flag of truce in the
battles Of everyday life. We should re-
spect it and, N its presence, commend
ourselves to peace-Scribner's Monthly.

RECENTLY . case was tried in the
County Court which grew out of re-
markable similarity in the appearance
Of two men. The plaintiff was Mr.. An
thony Schwab. He sued Lester r. Smith,
proprietor of the Phoenix Hotel, in Pitts
ford, for damages for assault and bat
terry. Mr.. Schwab is butcher, in part
nership with John Englehardt. The two
men are very mnch alike in general ap-
pearance, style. dress and the way they
talk, both being Germans, talking broken
English. The difference between the
two men is easily distinguished when
they are seen together, but the difficulty
of telling one from the other is apparent
when seen separate. Mr.. Englehardt, il
appears, borrowed halter from Mr..
Smith, the defendant, and failed to re-
turn it. Some time afterward Mr.. Smith
met Mr.. Schwab. The latter had the
same wagon that Mr.. Englehardt had
and Mr.. Smith, imagining that he was
Mr.. Englehardt, asked him for the halter
that he had borrowed. Mr.. Schwab Of
course denied that he had ever borrowed
any halter, and Mr.. Smith asserted posi-
lively that he had. They got to high
words, and then ensued the assault OF
which was based the plaintiffs claims fol
damages. Mr.. Smith did not discover
his mistake until afterward. The tria
of the case in the County Court resulted
in verdict of seventy-fve dollars dam
ages for the plaintiff. -Rocaester Ecenins

Twas still under the impression that
he was trying to divert me from my sus-
picions and said frankly: II am told
that he is subject to fits of arrangement,

then returns to his duties"
DR.. Hall exploded with laughter, to my
astonishmcnt and relief, and calling to
DIR. Badger, whose room adjoined his
own, he said: "Come in here and tell
US what you have been doing" He then
repeated to his associate the story had
told him, and they made themselves as
merry over it as was becoming in two
divines.
When the explanation was sought, it
was found that my informant had con-
founded DR.. Badger with another person,
of whom all the facts were correctly
stated, but they were applied to the
wrong man, For a long time afterward
the incident was the occasion of pleas
antry between us and besides the amuse-
ment it afforded is the lesson it teaches
to be very cautious of awakening unjust
supicions in regard to others.
If had been called on to testify in
court of justice as to the sanity OF Dr.
Badger, before went to his colleague
with my suspicious, should have been
compelled to speak of the "look out OF
his eye" the incoherent observation"
the "absent- mindedness, the sudden
movement" the apparent melancholy"
which had marked the department Of
one of the most even, placid, wellbal-
anced, judicious and undisturbed men in
the world. But the evil eye of suspi-
cion with which had regarded him had
discovered signs of inciplent insanity,
and had perverted the suavity of Chris
tan gentleman into the lurking seeds Of
mental disease.-IrenRus, in N. 7. Oh
