PRoFANITY.-We are emphatically
in the age of profanity, and it seems
to US that we are on the topmost cur
rent. One cannot go on the streets
anywhere without having his ears Of
Tended with the vilest words, and his
reverence shocked by the most pro-
fame use Of sacred names. Nor does
it come from the old and middle aged
alone, for it is a fact, as alarming as
true, that the younger portion OF the
community are most proficient in de-
grading language. Boys have an idea
that it is smart TO swear; that it makes
them manly but there never was a
greater mistake in the world. Men,
even those who swear themselves, are
disguised with profanity in a young
man, because they know how, of all
bad habits, this clings the most closely,
and increases with years. 1t is the
most insiduOus of habits, growing on
SO inyisibly that almost before one is
aware he becomes an accomplished
cursor.

Try TINS WAY.-A beautiful and
high-spirited horse would never allow
shoe to be put on his feet, or any
person to handle his feet. In attempt
ing to shoe such a horse, recently, he
resisted all efforts, kicked aside every
thing but an anvil, and came near
killing himself against that, and finally
was brought back to his stable unshod.
This defect was just on the eve OF
conslgning him TO the plow. where he
might walk barefoot, when an officer
in our service, lately returned from
Mexico, took cord about the size OF
a BEDFORD, put it in the mouth of the
horse ike bit, and tied it tightly on
the animals head, passing his left ear
under the string, not painfully tight,
but tight enough to keep the ear down
and the cord in It's place. This done,
he patted the horse gently on the side
of the head and commanded him 10
follow, and instantly he obeyed, per-
fectly subdued, aud as gentle and
Obedient as dog, suffering his feet to
be lifted with entire impunity, and
acting in all respects ike al old stager

KEEP THE REcEIPTS.-Every house
keeper should have her own recipe
book-a book Of her own creation, of
gradual growth and proved excellence
and We propose to show our lady
readers how TO make one. In the
first place buy a blank book and write
your name and the date on the first
leaf Divide the book into as many
different departments as you wish,
heading each page with the depart
ment to which it belongs as follows ::
Recipes for cleaning; recipes for soup;
recipes for cooking meats; recipes for
cake, and SO on through family cook
ing. Then comes cooking for the
sick, care for the sick, and all the va
rious things that are a, part of a
woman's duty, and for which, unfor-
tunately, there is no school but exper-
ience. Number your pages if they
are not numbered in the beginning,
and make an index to correspond
with blank pages between depart
ments which you do not expect to fill
Immediately. Write down under these
different heads every recipe which you
have actually tried, or the result of
which you have seen in the houses of
your friends, and enter the page in
the index.

The Arctic Exploring Vessels.

a correspondent Of the New York
World, in describing the AIeT ana
Discovery, the two vessels to be used
n the English Polar expedition says;
&" The insides of both vessels have
been completely lined with layer OF
thick felt, over which is a sheeting OF
plank. The masts, yards, sPars, sails
and rigging of each ship are identical,
so as to be interchanged if necessary,
and all the ironwork is covered with
leather. The screws, which are OF the
best metal, are arranged so as TO be
detached and hoisted up, while the
screw shafts can be drawn IN. Each
ship is divided by five water tight
bulkheads with pumps in each worked
by engines. Felt, thick woolen cloth
and leather have been used to convert
the cabins and forecastle into extreme
ly warm and comfortable nests. On
deck each hatchway Is surmounted
by a hood raised above the level OF
the combings, with closely lifting
doors, and over this again, in winter,
there will q small deckhouSe, with
the door at the farthest possible point
from the exit from the cabin. Each
ship carries nine boats, including a
yawl, three whalers, one cutter, three
ice boats and a jolly boat. The whal-
ers, yawls and cutters are built OF one
diagonal thickness of pure mahogany
planking, which, after being secured
to the framing with extra care and
strength, is paved over with marvel
Gus tenacious glue known as marine
glue. Over this again is placed an
envelope of stout unbleached linen,
which is eoaxed into position and de
prived of every wrinkle that would
initiate against a perfect fit by being
pressed with a hot iron. This opera
ton causes the yet moist dew to per-
meate the fibre5 of the cloth which
then becomes immoyab!y fixed to the
planking and perfectly imperyious to
water, even if the planking became
splintered in a way that would make
an ordinary boat as leaky as q wicker
basket. Then comes a longitudinal
plank of the best witch elm and Chris
tiana pine, and under the waist strake
a hemispherical belt of cork covered
with stout canvass, forming a perma-
nent and efficient tender. The whaleis
have this cork fender replaced by raj
with hand holes all around. To fit
them for the rough usage to which
they will be specially subject, the ice
boats have sheathing of cork over
the diagonal plankiDg and canvas coat,
before being covered with the external
planking of pine and elm, and they
are built on what is technally known
as dead wood having the keelson or
back bone of the boat inside, SO that
the external seams, sternposts and
keels might be ground away by fric
ton against the ice without structural
injury and with no i'll effect on their
bouyaEcy.

Washington in which the following

SINCE the bell of Indepenence Hall
was cracked it has several times been
tinkered at in the effort to make it
sonorous once more. AT one time the
seam was filled, We think, with silver
or an amalgam of silver; but tie
sound would not come back. They
then undertook to ream out the crack,
causing it to present a less " sharp
and ragged edge" on the singular
theory, perhaps, that it could be made
to ring ike the little globular sleigh
bells that tinkle, though they have an
opening to let the sound out. But
the result was, very naturally, by no
means at all successful lit being clear
enough beforehand, one would say
that the vibrations in the metal, when
struck, would conflict at the crack
and spoil the hoped FOR arrangement.
The findings Of metal that were bored
in this process were made into little
bells as revolutionary relics, Henry
Clay, we believe, receiving the first
of these highly priced momentoes,
Some people have also been guilty, as
the bell shows, of clipping and spin-
tering from the rim as relies. We
have not much faith that the bell will
be restored TO its old resonance, but
we should be very glad to hear that
there was prospects of doing SO by
new proceSses.-Pfiladelphta Ledger.

EARLY PLANTs.-It happens in near
ly all seasons that there is some dis
appointment about starting plants
early, and it will very likely be the
case i'll some locality at this reading
that the ground is not yet reliable for
all tender seeds, such as tomatoes,
green corn, squashes, and melons ;
perhaps not for cabbages and peas.
So that few suggestions in this line
may yet be timely. 1t is desirable TO
so transplant as not to check growth.
To this end We would not disturb the
roots There are several ways of do
ing this. y good way is to scrape
out turnips, fill with good soil and
plant with two or three seeds, setting
them in 4 warm light place, and keep
ing them moist. When the weather
is suitable, place these out in the gar
den at the proper depth, the turnip
will decay and the plant will thrive
unchecked, If properly cared for. Do
not use potatoes in place of turnips.
Another method is to get spare of sod,
say six inches wide, from good mellow
soil, turn them bottom up, and put in
such seeds as squash or melon, or
sweet corn, and treat them in the
same way, not putting out till the
weather is warm, and then protecting
against bugs. For the more delicate
plants, flowers, etc, make little square
paper boxes out of thin writing paper
or thick newspaper, merely folding
them at the corners, as You would the
paper in covering a book, and tacking
them with needle and thread; make
them about three inches square and
two deep. Fill with good soil, start
the seeds and put out at proper time
box and all in place without disturb
ing the roots. If you fear that the
paper is too strong for the root to pen-
citrate, cut carefully on the bottom Of
the box in the shape of cross and all
will be well. Raise from one to three
seeds in a place, according to the na-
ture of the plaut,-Science Of Health.
