The Fashions.

There is much nonsensieal talk among
men about the fashions of the ladies, and
Whenev ever l hear q man declaiming
against any fashions ladies wear think
of the devil reproving sin, or Of some
body railing about a mote in another's
eye, when there is beam in his as big
as fence rail. Men do not abuse their
own fashions. | suppose this is account
sd for by the fact that about all the fash
ions they can change aboss. lie in
the coat and breeches, hair and beard,
and they show out all they can in a fan
tail or steel pen coat and breeohes as
tight as the skin, or large enough to hold
a half barrel of corn. Dent you re-
member, my dear Densor, that you have
worn pantnlooDs so tight by straps un-
der your boots, and "gallowses" over
your shoulders that if struck by any one
they would vibrate 2IO times in a sec
Ond : That when you dressed in the
morning you put your buots, or shoes, on
fret, and at night boots and breeehss
came off together? You know that you
couldn't kneel at church without tearing
out some five or six buttons by the roots.
If q lady dropped her glove it was with
mcrtal fear Of some accident that you
stopped to pick it up. Remember all
these things-faets-before you criticise

Tonic for Fowls.

1t is n good plan, says the Soathern
Farmer, to keep on hand the preparation
of sulphate of iron, sc often recon-
mended by experienced pouItrymen. It
is frequently useful in the poultry yard,
and is thought, in a measure, to ward of
some Of the ailments to which fowls are
subj ect. 1t is useful tonic during the
moulting season. and a great benefit to
fowls In cold winter weather. During
summer it serves as disinTeotant, keep
ing the drinking vessels from becoming
soured or foul Its constant use in the
water, however, Is not 70 be commended,
since by such course It's efficiency in
cases Of real need would be less marked.
Several formulas have been given for
preparing the solution, so aa to have it
in convenient forms at all times. Some
of these make the PolutiOn too weak.
The following will be found to be right,
and the proportions being ali in ones .
the formula is easily remembered. In
one gallon of warm water dissolve one
pound of sulphats of iron, (copperas),
and then add ounce of sulphuric acid.
Put-the mixture into jug, from which
it may be used as needed. To one quart
Of drinking water add one teaspoonful OF
the solution. 1t gives to the water a
rusty appearance and a pungent taste A

portions as the above, has long been

A Wonder.

It is really great wonder, writes Dr.
Hall, ::that. Everybody is not dead and
buried, and the world itself used up en-
sirelY. if the thousandth part of what is
told Us about microsoopical and other
"discoveries," so called, is true. One
man has discovered myriads of insects
(gregarine) in the chign ons Of the ladies'
boring into their skulls and sucking out
all the remaining brains of the dear
creatures A German savau now tells
ua that every sip of tea We take is full of
oily glObules which get into the lungs
direct, weaken them, set up..a cough, and
the person dies Of consumption. An
other man has found that the purest
spring water, clear as crystal to all APP
psGrance, if let alone; will deposit sedi
ment which generates typhoid fever !;
hence he proposes that everybody shall
leave of drinking water. Another says
that the bread has so much lime in it
that it is turning US all to bone, and
makes US stiff in the joints, that being
the reason we have no 1.-THE old men

matte pains long before our.time there.

tapioca. Some folks assure US that pork
and ham are full of abominabls triohiua,
and that, if one is swallowed and gets
fairly nestled into the system, it will
breed million more in a short time.
And here como other philosophers,
laden with microscopes and EYEGLASSES,

and creep into the ear; hence it is death
to breathe such pestilentIal air, and that

Ever so many learned professional
gentlemen have undertaken to prove that
everybody is crazy, or soon shall be, that
the annual increase Of crazy people is
ten per cent consequently IN eleven
years everybody will be crazy.
The fact is, that the people who spend
their time in Matching these vagaries
ought to be put to work and be made to
earn an honest living. This world has
been pretty well taken care of for some
thousands of years, increasing in com
fort, and wealth, and life, the average

Maid of Athens.

Lovers who gather inspiration from
BYron's beautiful song entitled the
" Maid of Athens" are accustomed to
thi nix Of its heroine as q charming and
radiant young woman, with blooming
cheeks, raven tresses and languishing
eyes. 1t is hard to realize that one mad g
immortal in the creation of genius should
like these famous people, at length be
overtaken by "age, with bis stealing
steps" Mrs. Black, the original g Maid
Of Athens, died the other day at the
advanced age of seventy-six, having sur
vived her poet lover by half century
lapse. In the meantime she had married,
become the mother of 2 large family, and
at last, in her old age, having fallen into
destitution, was relieved by subscrip-
ton fund raised for her benefit in En-
gland.
