Tied to His Mothers Apron-Strinus.

On, he's good fellow enough. but
he's tied to his mothers apron stringsr'
We heard the remark the other dav
spoken in contemptuous tone by
young blood with a cigar between his
lips, flinsy cane in his kid-gloyed
hand, a fifty-dollar coat On his back. in
the pocket of which, doubtless, there
were plenty of "dunners" from his tail
or, boot-maker and washerwoman.
This same young man is in the habit
of calling his mother the " old woman
and his father the governor" and his
estimable unmarried sister the "old
gall" and the young man OF whom he
spoke was one who had just come into
town to reside, accompanied by his
mother, to whom he was devoted and
affectionate son.
"Tied to his mothers aprcn-strings,"
Ell?
Well, what does that expression gener-
ally mean when applied to young man?
Why, it means just about this-that the
young man of whom shallow Drained
tops and Anticipated sports speak thus
disparagingly is one who does not smoke,
chew, drink nor swear-one who has not
forgotten that God once gave for all
time a command which reads: Honor
thy father and thy mother, that thy days
may be long in the landl"-it means that
he is one whom virtuous men will re-
spect, whom refined society will welcome
to its ranks, whom good women and pure
girls will receive into their homes with
pleasure, and whom his wife, when he
gets one, will respect and love next to
her Creator.
tits quite too much the custom nowadays
to sheer at parental authority and to dis
regard the advice and admonition of our
elders. Old age is no longer reverenced;
it is ridiculed instead.
1t is quite the fashion for young men
to speak slightingly of the mothers who
bore them and who nursed them through
the troublesome, tiresome season of
babyhood. 1t is the fashion to disregard
| the advice of the mother, to cut loose
from her influence, to ''go it alone" after
| the manner of other reckless young men,
and it is quite as much the fashion for
these same independent youth to bring
up in the prison OF on the gallows as any
where else. And, young ladies, our word
| for it, the man who illtreats his mother
| will never transform himself into an af-
fectionate and agreeable husband-nev-
er!-it is impossible!
There is an old proverb to the effect
that the boy who is kind to the cat and
his mother will be good to his wife, and
we have observed that the saying is
| founded in truth.
| The young man who is disrespectful to
his mother and who does not seek to
make her declining years happy will ty-
rannize over his wife (unless, perchance,
he should marry woman who has the
| "grit' to teach him his place in the be-
ginning), and she had better be an old
maid to the end of life and bind shoes
for a living. SO, there!-Kate Thorn,
IN N. Y. Weekly.

nomenon appeared in the sky to bewilder
and terrify the superstitious Celestials,
for two meteors shot across the heavens
with motion repeatedly intersecting
each others track, the appearance of
which was like threads interviewer; they
appeared Of the size of a large bowl, and,
adds the native historian, the circum-
stance was regarded as very extraordi
naryw
These little peculiarities and eccen-
tricities of the Chinese will doubtless
call up smile to the face of an Ameri-
can reader in this latter half of the nine
teenth century; but they are not alone
IN their superstitious absurdities, as wit
ness the following anecdotes, which ap-
peared in the columns of a London paper
in July, 1878. During storm which
lately ragged around that place (Clermont,
IN France) the lightning struck the
steeple OF chapel in neighboring COM
mune, just as four persons were as
sembled therein to ring the bells in order
to drive away the terrible visitor" Again:
It is on record that in 1852 the Bishop
of Malta ordered the church bells to be
rung to mitigate the fury of the gale"
Mindful of these and similar supersti-
tious practices prevalent among some
classes in civilized countries, we must
look with lenient eye on the follies of
the Chinese, and hope that the day may
not be far distant when, through the aid
of the civillzing influences now at work
among them, they will be brought to be-
hold in more appreciative manner the
wonders of the heavens.-HG7pe7's Boar.

The Spaniards as Travellers.

A CORRESPONDENT writes of travelling
in Spain: Whether in war or peace,
under the apprehension of danger or in
the fullest security, slow travelling will
in all probability be long the order of
the day in Spain. 1t has happened to me
often to find the ticket-office still closed
at the time officially appointed for the
starting of the train. Of the lettering
at every petty station there is no end.
The great point for the guard is to have
his passengers shut up in the carriages
and the signal for departure given. That
being done he takes his leisure and has
his chat and paper cigar with the station
master. There is not one clock that
keeps decent time along the whole line,
and apparently no rule to compel the
guard to look at his own watch, if he has
one. What is most surprising and most
provoking is the temper of the Spaniards
when travelling under such trying cir
cumstances. They allow themselves to
be penned up like sheep, and sit wrapped
in their cloaks, with their noses up in the
air and their feet on the opposite seat,
enjoying the ineffable and never too
dearly bought blessing and privilege of
doing nothing. You never see one of
them reading, and there is nothing to de-
light the eye or claim the attention in the
bleak landscape through which the train
is lingering, The stations are dirty, Of
fensive holes, with never a flower,
a shrub, or bird to give
evidence of domestic habits or
civilized tastes. Neither is there
much talking among the passengers, or
you may set them down as Galatians.
Your Castilian or Aragonese never over
exerts himself in conversation. He sits
in his place and waits, and allows moth
ing to disturb the repose which to one
of his half Oriental blood is the GUM
tessence of earthly enjoyment. He can
not understand or sympathize with the
Impotence that makes you so fretful
and f1dgety. Your perpetual questions,
What are they DOING? What are we
waiting for?' evidently worry and annoy
him. He either never answers, or, If his
good breeding forbids his keeping abso-
Lutte silence, he meets your questions
with his universal 'Quien sabe?' It is
ali the same to him. What he may have
to do at his journeys end he knows not,
neither does he care. What is satisfac-
tory to him is that in the train, at all
events, he is doing nothing-the easiest,
the safest, the pleasantest employment
for him. He takes his blessing while it
lasts and is thankful. He is not addicted
to doing, and is moderate with his food
and drink at the buffet, though he man
ages to get as much for his twelve reals
breakfast as the bell ringing for Senores
viaieros al tren' will allow him. But the
business being settled he resumes his
seat at peace with gods and men. There
he sits, patient, calm, vacant, ruminant.
Let the train be ever so slow it can never
give him too much for his money"

Matchmaking.

THE better kind of matches undergo
what is called frame-dipping, which
consists in arranging the splints, already
cut to the desired length of the mach, in
square wooden frames, at equal and short
distances from one another. The COM
position is spread by a spatula on
smooth stone or metallic surface, warmed
by steam, in a uniform layer of some
thickness. The prepared frame is placed
horizontally upon this, so that all the
ends of the splints sink to the bottom of
the composition. When the frame is re-
moved, each splint is found dipped with
small button of paste, which in drying
acquires the ordinary ovoid shape.
After all the dipping has been done
the matches are dried in aroom especially
adapted for the purpose-artifcially
heated and ire-proof. The last thing of
all is boxing" The splints are re-
moved from the frames or loOsened from
the bundles, as the case may be, by per-
sons who are known as "emptiers." The
same persons act also as +" boxers" or
"lidders," which names express the
duties they have to perform. Gross
cutting" is done prior to frame filing"
but with bundles. as was intimated it
follows the dipping. The vapors Of the
phosphorus escape in several of the proc
esses: in mixing the congestion, dip
ping, drying and boxing. The better
class of manufactures have separate
rooms for each Of these, and only the
persons especially engaged in them can
inhale the poisonous emanations. But
in some instances the entire business is
done in one small room, aud all the work
people are more or less exposed.-W II.

Buried Alive /!

THE Importance of applying some GER
tain test to the body of every person before
lnterment occurs, so as to decide beyond
the cavil of doubt that death has real
ly taken place, should be impressed upon
every one. The late historian, Prescott,
left directions to have the main artery
of his arm severed before he was buried,
solely from a dread of possible revival
in his tomb. We are reminded of this
subject by the case which has just oc-
CURED in Paris, where a young and very
lovely girl was supposed to have died of
fever, and, after the customary delay and
ceremonies, was buried at Pere la Chaise,
in tomb owned in common with an
other family. A second death soon
after caused the tomb to be opened,
when it was discovered that the girl
must have revived and come to life, as
she had turned over in her coffin, and
gave other evidences of struggle to free
herself from her Imprisonment.
The feelings of surviving friends can
better be imagined than described under
such circumstances, while the general
public receive a warning which should
not go unheeded. 1t is less than a year
since very similar case occurred in the
city of New Orleans, where chance dis
covered that beautiful child of twelve
years, a girl of remarkable loneliness
and promise, the idol of her parents, was
undoubtedly buried before the vital
spark had fed. Indeed the recurrence
of these cases is far more frequent than
is generally known, besides which the
can only be brought to light by chance
discovery We therefore impress the
necessity of such precautions against
premature burial as shall render it posi-
lively impossible to occur.
Such events are no new experience.
Pliny mentions the case Of young man
of high rank, who, having been dead some
time, as it was thought, was placed upon
the funeral pile in order to reduce the
body to ashes. The heat of the flames
revived him, but it was too late. Helper
ished before his friends could rescue him
from his awful situation. This time he
was indeed dead! We are also informed
by history that the great anatomist, Vesa-
Illus, once had the unspeakable misfor-
tune to commence the dissection of
living body, apparently dead, but which
revived under the stroke of the knife
Fatal situation! Here again it was too
late to save life. 1t is said that Vesalius
was SO affected by this experience that
he was untitled for professional duty for
long period following.
Equally unhappy was the fate of Able
Provost, who fell in an apoplectic fit;
but he also recovered his consciousness
(too late) under the process of anatomical
dissection. So, also, in the case of Car
dinal Sonaglia, to embalm whose body
preparations had been made. At last the
surgeons, friends and operator were
gathered about the body, but the knife
had hardly penetrated into the chest
when the heart was perceived to beat.
1t was a scene never to be forgotten by
those present, whose faces blanched with
excitement The Cardinal returned par
TALLY to his senses and had sufficient
strength to put away the fatal knife, but
the lung was mortally woundedi-N. 2.

Caramel CEstard.-Six eggs, one
quart of milk; sugar to taste; favoring.
Beat the yolks and the whites of the
eggs separately, until they are very
light. Let the milk come to a boil, then
add it to the eggs; stir well, and put in
one tablespoonful of sugar. Take five
tablespoonfuls of light brown sugar, put
it into round, deep pan, and place it on
the range for the sugar to melt. Stir
until it is soft, or can be rubbed round
the pan with spoon. Set this pan in
dripping pan half full of hot water.
Flavor, and strain the custard into the
sugar. Put the pan in the oven and bake
the custard until it is firm, or until
knife can be run in and taken out clean.
Take from the oven and set away to
cool. When it is to be served run knife
