Cvmbeline and the ouarrelers.

t,subeline the King and his Queen
Went with lordly train to ride.
To see the land in it's summer pride
Nnd what beside there was to be seen
~ rancing along with laugh and song
They found quarrel of man and vife.
And these when asked of the cause of
strife,
Each on the other cast the wrong.
Each one said That ever / we'd
wed with creature SO froward and ill -
Spake the King with right good will
" Let them both to the palace be led =
That same night, when lamps we're bright
Over the lords and ladies there
Cymbehne said with his kingly air
Bring the two we found at fight"
Mute with shame the culprits came
And each was set to stand alone
Out before the royal throne
While Cymbeline spoke to both by name
Saving, ''As wide as side from side
OF the heavens above set you twain.
Each Is free to marry again
Choose from the court bridegroom and bride y
Each IN guise of blank surprise
Looked around ON the circle there.
Lords so fine and ladies' so fair
Ended IN the others eyes.
Choose y cried the King "by my signet ring
promise to we'd you with your choice - =
They scarcely heard the royal voice
So passing wonderful seemed the thing
Round she gazed, her vision dazed
With splendors of manly form and face
he beheld the womanly grace
Deckt in jewels that melted and blazed
Then the scene and all between
Their tender wooing vanished away
There came watt of their marriage dsv
And all tile sweetness that had BEEN
She wss there that maiden fair.
As first he saw her when times were glad
And ne was there that blooming lad
As he first went by with his jaunty air.
Then the thought of their babes was brought.
Into each others arms they sprang
Loud and loud the rafters rang
And noble eyes with tears we're fraught
"9ou choose the best, and leave the rest -
Cymbeline cried with shaking voice
Il promised to wed you with Your choice,
And each has chosen the way guessed ~

HealthfnI Beds.

Germany excels any country with
which am familiar in the cleanliness
of it's beds. It seems as much part of
yearly house-cleaning with them to have
the hair removed from the mattresses,
to have it well beaten, and summed and
the cover washed, as it is with US to
have carpets whipped and freed from
their disease begetting dust.
I grant that it would be a difficult and
expensive undertaking for an American
housekeeper, for skilled laborers. are
rare, and when found must be well paid,
as they should be.
Knowing the obstacles, then, in a
thorough renovation of our beds, we
should take all the more care to protect
and air them. Every bed should have
made especially for it, the size of a
tick, white, tackled comforter, not too
thick, so as to be unmanageable in
washing; over this the sheet is spread
Every bed in daily use should be sub
jected to the purifying rays of the sun
at least once a week, and should be left
open for the reception of air and ligHs
some time before being made up. Beds
notfrequently used are often found very
musty and disagreeable to guests. The
parlor beds, that swallow their own con-
tents by magic touch, are fair without,
but in time, for the lack of proper air
ing, thay become foul within.-Frona

Witchcraft.

Near the classic isle of Lemonos, in
the Greek Archipelago, is the compare
lively unknown island of Agios strait.
The latter island has lately been raw
aged by locusts, and the local authori-
ties decided that the pest was the result
of witchcraft. Seven Objectionable old
women were therefore arrested for
witchcraft and thrown into prison.
There they remained for several weeks,
while the locusts continued their ravages
undismaved by the punishment which
had fallen upon the witches. The au-
thorities having discovered that mild
measures had no influence upon either
witches or locusts, they were about to
bury the miserable old women alive
when the unbelieving Turk, who was
the governor of the cluster of islands
of which Agios Strata formed part, sud
denly interposed his authority and re-
stored the seven old women to their
homes.

Buck,vheat Bran for Cows.
A correspondent of the Country Ge
tleman saws:

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman says:
Experiments tried with the dairy of
the Eastern Pennsylvania Experimental
farm seem to demonstrate that buck
wheat bran is more valuable than wheat
bran for the production of butter The
COWS were fed five pounds of cut fod-
der, five pounds of cut hay, five and one-
half quarts of corn meal, and five and
one-half quarts of wheat bran to each
COW, fed in two feeds. From fourteen
milkings they gave 1852 pounds of
milk, yielding III of cream, and fifty
seven and five-eighths of butter.
From similar feed with buckwheat
bran (value for value), substi-
tuted for the wheat bran, they gave
/ ,2OOA pounds milk, 121 of cream; and
fifty-nine and fve-eights of butter.
The difference in temperature was
against the buckwheat bran.
In another experiment the same feed
was used, and was well wet with hot
water twelve hours before feeding.
Fourteen milkings gave 1854 pounds
milk, 1403 of cream, and 6OA of butter.
From these experiments we obtain the
following data: $500 pounds of milk
yielded 279A of cream, which made 1773
pounds of butter, or at the rate of
219 pounds of milk to one of butter.
After weighing the milk of dairy of
| twenty common COWS, 1 have found
that it required very nearly twenty-five
pounds of milk to make one pound of
butter

A Liberal wedding Feast.

A royal wedding in the olden time
was an affair altogether eclipsings even
the shoddy demonstrations and present
making gorgeousness of these modern
days. For example:
On November IL, 1860, Count Guen-
ther, :" the warrior" of Schwarzburg,
Germany, was married to Countess
Catherine of Nassau Armstadt. Sixty
four princes, as many countesses, and
eighty-four noblemen, accompanied by
their suits and servants, were present on
the suspicious occasion. Omitting the
list of presents to the bride, we are sat
isfied to record what was furnished and
served for feast on the wedding day.
There were $500 bushels of wheat and
rye, 120 deers, lit roe-bucks, 15O boar
stags, $50 hairs, 20 wood grouse, 25

The original Scriptures were written
on parchment, an article of great anti
quity, whose manufacture can be traced
back more than g, 200 years. The finest
of it is in our day known by the trade
term of vellum, and is used to a con
siderable extent for recording impor-
tant matters, such as documents to be
placed in corner-stones of public build
ings, deeds, ETC., as it win not rot, and
is comparatively indestructible. vellum
is made from the skins of very young
kids and lambs, by process of lining,
to remove the hair and fatty substances,
then carefully stretched on frame, and
with an instrument called moon-knife
scraped on both sides; the flesh side
covered with fine chalk and rubbed
with pumice stone. and after being
leveled and dried is polished with q
preparation of gum arabic and whites
of eggs.
