Advice for the Married.

Judge Donohue delivered from the
bench of the supreme court an exceed
ingly sensible lecture on the duties of
married life. A wife who has begun
suit for separation from her husband
on the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment applied to Judge Donohue
for an order for alimony, which was re-
fused. The cruel treatment complained
of was shown TO consist at the most II
nothing more terriblethan an unwilling
ness on the part of the husband to be
bored by piano-playing, and his occa.
sional disturbance of his wife's sIumbers
by returning home late at night and
ringing the front door-bell. In an
nouncing his decision, Judge Donohue
told the parties to the suit that ''they
should remember that they and their
feelings and comfort are but secondary
to the matter of the good of their chill
dren and the future welfare of those
who have the right to look to them for
example and instruction, must fail to
become useful members of society"
There can be no doubt of the justice of
these remarks. The. practice of most
married people who regard themselves
as the only parties in interest is the
source of frequent domestic misery.
They fail to perceive that the real end
of marriage is the continuance of the
race, and that married people must
consult the welfare of their children
and of the community in preference to
their own personal whims and preju-

Poisoned TO Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains q
great amount OF waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congested, it fails to eliminate this vast
amount Of noxious substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood arc be con
yeyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when it is
receiving and retaining each day two and 8
half pounds ST poison Nature tries to work
of this poison through other channels and or
gans-the kidneys, lungs skin, etc; but these
organs become Overtaxed in performing this
labor, in addition to their natural functions
and cannot long Withstand the pressure, but
becomes variously diseased.
The brain. which is the great electrical CEN
tire of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood which passes to it from the
heart, and it fails to perform it's Office health
fully. Hence the symptoms OF bile poisoning,
which are dullBess, headache iDcapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impairment OF
memory, dizzy. sleepy, or nervous feelings,
gloomy fOrebOdings and irritability of temper
The blood itself being diseased. as it forms
the sweat upon the surface OF the skin, is so
irritating and poisonous that it produces dis
colored brown spots, pimples, blotches, and
other eruptiOns, Sores boils, carbuncles and
scrofulous tumors. The stomach bowels and
other organs spoken OF, cannot escape becom-
ing affected, sooner or later, and costiveness,
piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarThmR. female
weakness, and many other forms Of chronic
disease, are among the necessary results. AS
a remedy for all these manifestations of dis
ease, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
with small daily doses Of his Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets are positively unequalled. BY
them the liver and stomach are changed to an
active and healthy state the appetite regula-
ted and restol ed, the blood and secretions
thoroughly purified and enriched, and the
whole system renovated and built up anew.

Labor and Crops in Egypt.

An Egyptian laborer is considered to
have done a good days work when he
picks from fifteen to eighteen pounds
of cotton. The American negro slaves
usually picked fifty pounds in the same
time. The constant use of the stick
and bastinado is necessary to keep at
work the fellahdeen in the khedives es-
tates. This fact may, however, be due
to other reasons than mere physical in
trinity. The immediate labor of about
fifteen persons out of every one hun
dred in the United States, producers
more than enough food for all; whereas
in Egypt the same result calls for the
immediate labor OF at least three times
as many persons, while the result itself
is greatly inferior in quantity, quality
and variety. Rice and maize used to
be largely cultivated in Egypt, but the
government ordered wheat to be planted
in their stead, and the latter became
the principal exporting crop. 1t was
grown one yer after another until ma
ture gave out, and the grain grew so
poor that it could scarcely find a mar
ket. That which found it's way to Eng
land could only be used in distilleries.
The American war, occurring at this
juncture, the government prohibited
the cultivation of wheat, and nominated
cotton IN its place. The culture of this
staple was pursued until the fall of
prices occurred after the war, when it
was superseded by sugar, which is the
present favorite. The exports from
Alexandria, the shipping port of the
country, furnish a close guide to the
fluctuations in the product of these arti-
cles, occasioned by this capricious,
ruinous and sometimes fatal policy.
These facts are sufficient to prove that
there need he no fear of successful
rivalry in wheat raising on the part of
Egypt. Her wheat crop will take the
wings of the wind just as did her
boosted crop of cotton. Free and in
telligent labor will always come out
| ahead

French Manners.

A writer says "The French are said
to be the politest people in the world,
and in some respects they are so. Their
poli;eness may be only skin deep it
may be only stilted etiquette, without
heartfelt emotion But, on the whole,
it is better than studied indifference and
rough incivility. If not absolutely sin
cere, it has the external appearance of
being so, and saves the feelings from q
sense Of outrage. A Frenchman always
takes off his hat on entering a shop or
an omnibus or any other conveyance.
He is expected always to bow first to a
lady of his acquaintance it would be
thought quite out of place for lady to
take the initiative. On entering draw
ing-room French people bow to every
one who may be in the room, whether
they are acquainted with them or not.
The omission of these trihing civilities
by the English causes them to be con-
sidered rude and boorish. The line of
demarcation between different cl, sses of
society is less strongly defined in France
than in England. Servants consider
themselves pretty nearly upon an equal
ity with their masters and mistresses,
and their manners are marked by free
aud easy GOODNESS, which would be con-
sidered the height of impertinence in
England. They wish you 'good-morn-
ing and goodnight, as a friend might
do, and expect to be thanked whenever
they open the door for you; French
man Of every class touches his hat to the
servant who opens the door for him.
The lower classes in France live much
more frugally and ineIpensively than
people of the same rank in England.
Soup and 6ouilLi form the usual dinner
and supper of the upper class of farm
ers, workmen, and servants in French
families. The richer farmers have the
pot az Jelt every day, others only once
or twice week, and live on bread and
SOalpe allr chO1tG on the other days, with
a relish Of cheese, salt fish, and some
times butter"

Sugar Seereted by the Liver.

Up to the year 1848 even physioIo-
gists supposed the only important func-
ton of the liver was to secrete bile.
At this date Bernard announced to the
scientific world that he had discovered
in the liver anew function, that of form
ing sugar, and proceeded to show it by
experiments. The variety of sugar Sc
GREETED is the same as that found in the
urine in diabetes but it is not, like
that, passed out of the system to it's
great injury. Indeed, it is not even
passed into the bile ducts as a part of
the bile; but it is passed through the
liver, and energies with the venous
blood in the hepatic vein. Bernard ex-
am.ned the blood in ell the other parts
of the body and the tissues, and found
no sugar in any of them except what
could be traced to the liver and he
traced it from the organ to the heart,
then to the lungs, where it seemed to
disappear. It is true that the portal
vein, which empties its contents into
the liver, may contain sugar if it is
taken IN the food, but if none is taken
in the food then none is found there
whereas the hepatic vein does contain
sugar, whether any is taken in the food
or not. Indeed, to be sure that the
sugar was not derived from the food.
most of the experiments have been
made on carniyorous animals, in the
food of which no sugar exists. The
kind of sugar formed in the liver re.
sembles glucose, or the sugar resulting
from the digestion of starch. The
quantity is small. It ferments readily.
and is destroyed in the animal economy
with great facility. The use of the
sugar formed in the liver is not we'll
known. 1t almost always disappears in
the lungs, and probably serves the same
use as the sugar taken as fOod-viz.
the production of animal heat. The
liver is known also to produce some
other changes in the blood not yet very

A Game Breakfast.

There is nothing in which the sad and
simple denizen of the far west so de-
lights as in astonishing the tenderly
emerald emisrant. Fifteen of these
wistful beings, fresh from the gorgeous
civilization of the east, huttered into a
Virginia City restaurant the other day
for a breakfast. While they were study.
ing the bill of fare a melancholy Vir-
ginia citizen walked in and measured
them with glance. The opportunity
was too delicious to resist. He sat
down and loudly remarked, Waite,
how long does man have to sit here
before you come to take his order ?"
The ambling waiter shrieked, can
right, Mr.. Terry; what'Il you have,
Mr.. Terry?" The pensive Terry in
stantly ordered, in a tone of thunder,
the following picturesque dishes {:
Baked horn-toad, two broiled lizards
on toast, with tarantuls sauce stewed
rattlesnakes on the side" That waiter
was acquainted with the ways of Vir-
ginia City, and, without even a culver
of an eyelash, observed to TIE Chinese
menials in the kitchen "Ba-aked
horned toad two broi-l-ed lizards on
to-a- asst, iran-u-tuls sauce stewed rat

Terry's real breakfast, privately order
ed, presently appeared, and every indi-
vidual emigrant chOkei himself and
got pain in his spine with looking over
his shoulder in the vain effort to see the
remarkable dishes which the ingenious
Terry was calmly enjoying.

Spartan Dinners.

Paris Celebrities at the Cornwall Board.
Have you ever heard of the academy
of the Spartans, or rather Of the Spar
tan dinners? For this is an academy
that dimes, which gives it great adj
vantage over the French academy. It
has another advantage; it is not en-
ployed on a dictionary. It contents
itself with being witty-at table. 1t
pronounces no diseourses nor funeral
orations. It has held its sessions at
Zrois Freres Provencaltr, at the Petit
Moulin Rouge, at the MaisOa1 dor and
at Brebant's.
At the last sitting proposed a toast
in very good champagne-to Gen.
Read, who was just starting for Greece.
He had brought book of blank pages,
and said to us, "This book will be
mine, when each Of you has inscribed
a thought in it." don't know whether
we were especially witty that day, but
I copy some things which fell from our
pen.
"There is no such thing as liberty,
for no man is free if he is the slave of
his conscience.
"Au loves-even maternal love
have their anguish and their griefs.
God has made pain for every pleas
ure the gate of Paradise opens into
hell.
"A note from woman, no matter
how tender, is sight draft on you
you must always pay in some coin or
other.
Marriage begins with one of the
seven sacraments it ends with one OF
the seven mortal sins.
"Thought is like Jeannot's knife.
Common men are content to keep If
bright for use; men of genius first
change the handle and end by changing
he blade.
"Sooner or later we pardon our
friends the injuries we have done them.
eff borrower comes, lend him your
ear.
Women always give more than they
promise men less.
Love Is ike liquor men say 1t If
killing them but always come back to it.
If you become famous, beware Of
the fOols-for they always gatheraround
the people who are stared at.
Gen. Read would not write a conceit
like the rest. He had just experienced
a profound grief in the loss of his
father. This is the thought he has in
scribed in the book, which is still at it,
first page:
Life is the road to death. The In
dams say Death does not kill, i
makes us invisible. It is the sorrow o
survivors to see no more those whom
they loved but the first friend we lost
gives a clearer vision to the soul
Every step toward death opens a little
wider the gate of eternity"

what an Alaska squaw is Worth.

The Hoona tribe of Indians, a few
weeks ago, sent a deputation of we'll
armed warriors to Sitka to treat with
them for the full value of certain de-
missed squaw of the Hoona tribe, whose
existence a Sitka buck a few months
before had, by the accidental discharge
of his gun, cut short. The council was
held on the beach at Indian town, few
yards from the commanding officers
house. After arguing for and against,
the cash value of the defunct lady of
Hoona descent was found to be 1000
yards of calico, four camphor-wood
boxes, fourteen muskets and sixty blank:
cts. Terms cash. The succeeding
night was then devoted to a universal
spree in the Indian town in honor of
their guests.

Cocoa and Chocolate.

Cocoa and chocolate are prepared
from the nuts by freeing them from the
pulp and making them undergo a pro.
cess similar to mailing. They are af-
forwards roasted in a perforated cylin-
der, and are then freed from their husks.
and made into cocoa, or chocolate.
which is similar to cocoa, but made
into a paste, and contains sugar, and
generally some havoring addition, as
vanilla, or other aromatic substance.
The best chocolate is that which dis
solves entirely in water, leaving no
grounds in the bottom of the vessel.
Chocolate should not be made till re-
CURED for use. Water is better than
milk for making chocolate, which should
on no account be allowed to boil, as the
oil would then pass 10 the surface.
Neither coffee nor tea approaches cocoa
or chocolate for nubihye properties.
The latter contains every ingredient
necessary to the susterance of the body.

A Relic of Washington.

An interesting relic of the early days
of George Washington has been for
warded to the New York University for
the state library. The relic dates back
to the time when Gen1. Washington
was but land surveyor, and consists
of a map of 1861 acres of land, situated
in Augusta county Virginia, and GER
tiicate setting forth that the same had
been surveyed. Both the map and GER
tiieate are from the pen of Washing
ton, and are models of neatness. The
certificate is signed &C. Washington, 4"
and is dated November z, 1749-the
surveyor being then in his seventeenth
year. After Wasbington's name appear
the initials as. @. O." which stands
for surveyor to the county courts. The
document is in remarkably good state
of preservation, and is inclosed in a
stout metallic frame, and protected by
glass. The New York state library al
ready contains the surveying nipple
ments used by Washington, and this
addition will materially increase the
interest attached TO the collection.

Endurance of Eastern Horses.

Australian horses, unprepared, IN.
shod, and uncared for, are in the con-
slant habit of performing forty, fifty,
or even sixty miles day, when on a
journey over rough roads or through
the wild native bush, without even a
track, There food consists of what
they can pick up for themselves, in
many cases when tethered to prevent
their straying, and their grooming in
having the rough mud rubbed off with
a bunch Of grass; but they have at
least one advantage over poor Caradoc
in being allowed to rest and ease their
limbs IN whatever manner they choose
during the night. It is stated on the
authority of Abd.el. Kader, that Arab
horses will travel for three or four
months at the rate OF fifty miles day
without showing fatigue, and are capa-
bic of doing $50 miles IN a single day
during the journey, il treated with care.

years ago an Arab, only four hands one

The Antiquity of Iron.

According to the Iron Age, wedge
or plate of iron has been found i'm
bedded In the masonry of the great
the Indication being that it
must have been wrought in the age of
Cheops, placed by some authorities as
far back as 5, 400 years ago. This makes
the use of iron about $500 years more
ancient than it is supposed to be, and
affords opportunity for explaining the
cutting of the sharp and well defined
hieroglyphics on porphyry, granite, and
other hard stones employed in the con-
structiOn of Egyptian pyramids, tenn
pies, and tombs. How these could
have been cut before the age of iron,
has been puzzling question to many.
Further investigation may show iron to
have been in use 6, 900 years ago.

Japanese NOrkmen.

The remarkable beauty of many of
the articles made by Japanese workmen
is due in a measure to the fact that in
japan the artisan is considered to be
the superior of the tradesman in rank,
and that he is hence made to feel a
pride in his work. Here and in Europe
there prevails the general impression
that the merchant is necessarily the su-
periOr of the mechanic. The facts do
not justify this view. It certainly takes
much more thought and ingenuity to
make chair or writing desk than it
does to sell them after they are made.
The intelligent artisan is, as a rule, de-
cidedly the superior of the tradesman IN
mental activity, and frequently has very
much of the true artistic faculty about
him. It is time we thought more highly
of workmen than We do, especially as
they are gradually gaining more and
more power in the state and are thus
assuming the political duties which the
tradesmen have shown a disposition to

Wives.

What the true man wants with a wife
is her companionship, sympathy, and
love. The way of life has many dreary
places in If, and man needs companion
to go with him. A man is sometimes
overtaken by misfortunes he meets
with failure or defeat trials and tempt
atoms beset him, and he needs one TO
stand by and sympathise. he has some
hard battles to fight with poverty, enc
mics, and with sin and he needs a wo-
man that when he puts his arms around
her, he feels that he has something to
fight for; she viii help him to fight /;
that viii put her lips to his ear and
whisper words of counsel, and her hand
to his heart, and impart inspiration.
All through life, through storm and
through sunshine, conflict and victory,
through adverse and fevoring winds,
man needs a woman's love. The heart
yearns for it. A sisters or a mothers
love will hardly supply the need.
