The following is = verbatim report
of conversation which occurred on .
Sunday between one Of our we'll
known fashionable matrons and her
no less fashionable and stylish daugh-
ter. The young lady appeared in the
drawing room with her skirts strap
ped back over her well rounded form
to the tighest notch which Fashion
permits, and we may say, had even
given tickle goddess wide margin,
and then went her one better. She
had eaten heartily of her luxurious
Sunday dinner, and was now going
to promote healthful digestion BY an
afternoon promenade:
"Do let your skirts out little, my
dear: You really have made yourself
look ridiculous"
"Oh no, indeed, mamma; they are
no tighter than it is fashionable to
have them, and in fact G. wears hers
a great deal tighter than have mine. !"
"Yes; and If she only knew how
much like an angle worm she looked,
she would never appear before the
gentlemen tied back in that fashion"
Yes mamma, but you see there is .
vast difference between US. G. is one
of your gothic girls, full Of points and
angles, while l."
ayes, | know; while you are going
out to let the gentlemen see not only
that you have eaten q hearty dinner,
but actually to show them what you
had"
We have not yet learned whether
she succeeded or not-Dubsque Her

Alderney Cows.

Alderney is we'll known for the
breed of cows which bears its name.
These are SO called probably because
the first ones exported were from
that island, although now very few
that are sold as Alderney cows are
directly from there. Those of that
breed actually exported from these
islands are generally from Jersey,
where the cattle are much the same
as those of Alderney, small, with ia
pering heads, and Of a delicate fawn-
color. The Guernsey COW is esteem
ed by some even more highly than
the Alderney; it is rather larger, and
more of red, brindlcd, in color. The
cows are MIXED three times daily,
and the milk is churned without
skimming; one pound of butter a day
is by no means an uncommon yield
for good COW. The COW cabbage
is made to reach size so large that
the leaves are used to wrap The but
ter in for market, while the stalks
are vanished and armed with ferrules
aud extensively used at St. Heller
for canes. The cows are very care
fully coddled. The grass they feed
on is highly enriched by the vraic, a
species OF sea weed gathered from
the reefs at low tide. There are two
vraic harvest appointed by the gov.
ernment, one in the spring, the other
in small quantities. All hands turn
out in the season with boats and carts
frequently at night, and it is very
lively, picturesque occupation, though
often attended with risk and loss o.
life from the overlooking OF boats o
sudden rising of the tide. The cows
are always ,ethered when feeding
they eat less in this way, really civ
ing more milk than if glutted will
food, and while they are cropping tn,
grass on one side Of field,i has timet'
spring up ON the other side. When they
have done eating, they are at one,
removed from the sun into the shade
The breed is preserved from intermix
turs with other breeds by strong ant
arbitrary laws very carefully en-
forced. No cattle are allowed to en-
ter the islands except for slaug hte
within . certain number of days
with the exception of oxen 70

At present whales are scarce in
Cape Cod Harbor; and it is an extra
hazardous thing for even a porpose
to show his black nose over the water
in sight of the town. Only few
weeks before | last saw the place
eight hundred foolish porpoi.es en-
tered the harbor, and four hundred
were captured in an afternoon, and
not only in the legitimate way, SO to
speak, by men with harpoons in
boats, but part of the school was
driven into shoal water, where men
waded out up to their armpits, and
grabbing" porpoise with the FIN
gers of one hand in his eyes and the
other catching his back fin, dragged
him ashore by main force. If you
want to awaken Provincetown very
suddenly, hire loudvoiced man to
shout, "Blacktish from the roof of
house. You will find yourself in
less THAI two minutes in the middle
OF a very lively population.
Blackfsh mean money. They are
worth about ten dollars apiece, and =
capture of four hundred fish is
handsome days work. which adds to
the wealth as to the fragrance of the
town. Besides the blubber oil which
these animals and porpoises yield,
there is a product of which few peo-
pie, | imagine, think much, but
which is yet of considerable import
ance to all of us This is the pecu-
liarly limpid oil which is drawn from
the iawbones Of these ish, and which
is used by watchmakers all over the
world to oil the works of watches.
A drop of it goes long way; and in
fact the civilized world uses at pres
ent in all its hundred millions of
watches only about two hundred
gallons yearly, most of which is pro-
duced, or, more correctly, saved on
Cape Cod. An old man who had
been thirty five years in the business
of preparing this jaw oil told me that
when school of fish was caught he
bought the heads, which he then
tried out carefully, refined the oil by
boiling it, and finally submitted it to
a freezing test. Two or three men
furnish the worlds supply Of this
product; they have established their
regulations and control the market,
and this old man remarked that the
stock on hand was now sufficiently
great, aud he would not save any
more this year. The oil is sold by
the producers for from four TO eight
dollars gallon. remarked to the
old fellow that il he could sell two
hundred gallons year at five dollars
a gallon he would do comfortable
business; and he replied, "Hes, in
deed; id be happy with that, and
throw of half"
Nor was he exaggerating. On
this frugal Cape Cod fisherman is
not unhappy nor unfortunate if he
makes FIVE hundred dollars by his
years work. His wife will lay by
some of it, and he will subscribe
literally to church and foreign mis-
sions, and think himself comfortable
man. He owns his house and little
garden patch; he is not afraid Of the
tax gather; he and his wife know
how to make money go far, and they
are not at all conscious that they are
pinched by poverty.-G"rles Nora-

The Power Of Love.

"::5hnt The door, Alice. You always
leave it open; ] never saw anybody
SO ,houghtless"'
"Shut it yourself, if you want il
shut. I'm not going to wait on YOU.
was the reply, and Alice marched
through another door, leaving that
open also.
Thus it happened that there were
two angry hearts, two grievances to
be cherished, instead of the blessed
fruits OF charity aud love thus il
happens. alas, too often. with the best
OF US. Angry words, where loving
ones should be said; frowns in places
of smiles: coldness for Christian kind
ness.
And why is it that we find it easier
to return evil than good to our fellow
men, Since we have the assurance
gained by bitter experience, it may
be, that the evil does in almost every
case bring US misery, from day to
day, while well doing brings only
purcst happiness. All! the want OF
love ! that is the secret of it all =
Love to G ID above and below all, and
love to ma which is sure to follow.
Having this, heart full Of love, the
world will he to us foretaste OF
heaven, and each dav will hold its
cup Of happiness.
1t is the little things, after all, the
daily joys, the daily veNaiions, that
test the character. Who does not
know that it is easier for Mrs. Brown
to bear the sudden death Of her hus-
band, and the severe sickness of her
baby, then to behold with equanimity
the falling of her cake, or find that
her bread is sour? She resigned her
self to the death of her husband
thinks it mysterious Providence
but trusts her Father to do the
hes, thing for her. AS for the sour
bread-why, that is So different, 1t
never occurs to her that the "all
things shall work together for good"
means just such little vexations as
come to Mrs. Brown on baking days
She never thinks of asking for help
to bear those trials, and so she frets
and worries all the day over them
making everybody as miserable as her
self.
1t is in the daily duties that we
may please God. AS much, nay more
is He pleased to be honored in the
little things as in great work. Few
of US have the great work to do. We
can all do the little deeds of kindness
we can all speak helping word now
and then to somebody weaker thar
ourselves; and the cup OF cold watel
given in His name, the smile of wei
come to some poor child at our door
the sympathizing look, the heart full
of love for suffering ones about us
all, all shall have their reward, from
Him who said: "Inasmuch as We dit
it unto one of the least Of those, m,
brethren, ye did it unto me-"
Oh, for those blessed words iron

ln the time of David and Solomon

ia the time of David and Solomon,
gold existed in enormous quantities
among the Hebrews. The figures Civ
en- in the Old Testament appear al
most fabulous. From l Chronicles
XIX, II, we learn that David had col
lected together for the purpose Of the
temple building = hundred thousand
talents of gold and hundred thous-
and talents of silver; and from |
Chronicles xxx, 3, We learn that over
and above this enormous amount he
contributed from his own possessions
three thousand talents of silver !;
whilst the people in addition offered,
'for the service Of the house Of God,
FIVE thousand talents and ten thousand
talents and ten thousand drschms of
gold, and of silver ten thousand tal.
ents.' Chronicles xxx, Z. From
these data the total value Of the gold
and silver has been calculated at
nearly $4,000, 100000.
