Effect of The Seasons on The Body
The curious fact has recently been
pointed out by DIR. Il. w. Richardson
that the changes of the season, have a
potent ply steal influence upon the
body. Some years ago, in convict es-
tablishment in England, number of
men were confined amid surroundings
(of clothing, room, food, etc., practi-
cally the same for each individual.
The medical superintendent of the Jail
undertook Investigations, extended
over some nine years, and during
which over 1000 individuals were
weighed. 1t was found that during the
months of winter the body wastes, the
loss of weight varying in increasing ra-
ito, and that the changes from gain to
loss and from loss to gain are abrupt
and take place, the first at the beginn-
ing of September, and the second at
the beginning of April. This is shown
in the following figures, indicating the
ratio of loss or gain: Loss: January
ola. February O-24, March 0'95. Gain :
April O-O3, May DOL, June O'5a. July
O'0s, August 0-90. Loss: September

POACHED EGGS WITH CREAM.-One
pint of water, one teaspoOnful of salt,
four teaspOonfuls of vinegar, four fresh
eggs, half gill of cream, salt, pepper,
and pounded sugar to taste, one ounce
of butter. Put the water, vinegar, and
salt into frying-pan, and breGk each
egg into separate cup; bring the wa
ter, etc., to boil, and slip the eggs
gently into it without breaking the
yolks. Simmer them from three to
four minutes, but not longer, and, with
a slice, lift them out on to hot dish,
and trim the edges. Empty the pan of
its contents, put in the cream, add a
seasoning to taste of pepper, salt and
pounded sugar; bring the whole to the
boiling point; then add the butter,
broken into small pieces; toss the pan
around and around till the butter is
melted; pour it over the eggs, and
serve. To insure the eggs not being
spoiled while the cream, etc., is pre-
pairing, it is a good plan to warm the
cream with the butter, etc., before the
eggs are poached, so that it may be
poured over them Immediately after
they are dished.

AGRICULruRAL.

WHAT Is Misunderstanding which
upon being applied to the soil, causes it
to produce q more abundant crop, is
manure. Manure is of three kinds,
natural, mental and mechanical. Nat
ural manure is anything which being
decompOsed assists the earth TO support
plant life. 1t was natures original
agent in preparing the barren waste,
which our earth formerly was, as fit
ting abode for man. The progress OF
decay and death in the animal and veg
etable kingdoms, is the only mode OF
creating natural manure. The hnal
destiny of all animal and vegetable life
Is to be transformed to natural manure.
This is the beginning as well as the
ending of all earthly ehings.
Mental manure is brains-not the ami
NAL composite which we call our brains
but the active, creative principle which
is the guiding power of man, and which
when applied TO the operations OF farm
ing, produces the third kind Of manure
the mechanical.
Mechanical manure is the result OF
brains applied to rural affairs. Me-
chanical manures are of more real value
to the farmer than either or both OF the
other TWO. Mechanical manures con-
sist of plows, harrows. cultivators,
rollers, spades, shovels, rakes, etc..
If the farmer hooks on to the me-
chanical manures, guides them by
a thorough application of the mental
manure, and stirs up the natural ma
nure, he farms Understandings, he
loosens up the soil, the life giving at
mosphere enters in, heat and moisture,
in contradistinction to cold and Wet,
pervades the earth, nature asserts her
prerogative, seeds find themselves in
congenial element, the growing crop
feels the treble impetus, natures, and
comes to harvest abundantly.
Ali these manures are dependent
upon one another. 1t is first necessary
to cover the earth with the natural
then the mental comprehends the ne
cessities of the case and applies itself to
the good work, and calling in the aid Of
her oldest son, the mechanical, SO ma
nipulates our mother earth, that smile:
spread over her whole face, finally
bursting in laugh of golden joy which
rings through all the happy harvest
And thus-may we three meet again.

Xantippe.

1t seems that the memory Of this wo-
man. like that of her renowned nus
band, is likely to be kept alive to the
end of time. She is said to have pos
sessed very irritable temper, and her
name has become a synonym OF vixen
or "scold." 1t is more than possible,
however, that the judgment passed upon
her by mankind has been too severe. A
more charitable disposition WOULD un-
doubtedly have discovered in her, many
GOOD qualities, and have attributed her
failings more to physical Inhrmltles
than to moral Obliquity. The party
most intimately acquainted with her,
and therefore best able to form correct
opinion, gives her credit for many do
nestle virtues. 1t is now well-known
that MANY of tine diseases to which wo-
men are subject, have direct tendency
to render them irritable, peeyish, cross,
morose, unreasonable, so that they
chafe and fret over all those little ills
and annoyances that a person in health
would bear with compOsure. Ii Is fair
to infer that most of the tantrums of
Xantippe were due to these causes
alone: and could Socrates, as he re-
turned from the Senate, the Gymna-

nestle broil," made it much pleasanter
for the children, and more enjoyable
for himself, and rescued his wife's
name from the unenviable, worldwide
and eternal notoriety it has attained.
Thousands of women bless the day on
which DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was first made known to them. a
single bottle often gives delicate and
suffering women more relief than
months of treatment from their family
physician. In all those arrangements
causing backache, dragging-down sem
sations, nervous and general debility,
it is sovereign remedy Its soothing
and healing properties render it of the
utmost value to ladies suffering from
internal fever, congestion, inflamma-
ton, or liberation, and its strengthen
ing effects tend to correct displacements
of internal parts, the result of weakness
of natural supports. 1t is sold by all

A Weighing and Calculating Machine.
German mechanical magazines are
loud in their praise of a scale which, In
determining the weight of goods. also
gives the price of the quantity. 1t is
steelyard with sliding weight. The
peculiar mechanism which gives the
price consists of cylinder placed un-
der the long arm of the balance. and
capable OF being turned round its Ion
ger axis, which is parallel with the
arm. The cylinder is in part OF Its
circumference divided by oblique lines,
and the divisions thus made are crossed
by lines running parallel to the long
axis, so that somewhat irregular quad
rangular figures are formed. and each
of these contains number. The num-
bers between any two lines run from
up to 10 or other number, while be-
tween every two of the Oblique curved
lines there are always equal num-
bers. The interval between the cross
lines corresponds to that of the divi-
siOns of the arm. When goods are to
be weighed, the cylinder is turned un-
til the number upon it corresponds to
the unit of weight of the goods. After
weighing, the running weight on the
yard arm Is found opposite the number
ON the cylinder, which corresponds to
the value of the quantity weighed.

Ph0togrdpkiRg Eclipses.- Since 1850
almost every eclipse of the sun has
been photographically recOrded-frOm
1860 to 1868 for the purpose chiefly OF
determining the nature of the red pro-
mipences, and in 1870 and 1871 to ascer-
tain whether the corona is an appen-
dage of the sun or an effect produced
on our own atmosphere. In 1870 1t was
determined to adopt properly cOrrec-
ted Photographic lens, and by a gradu,
ated series of exposures to obtain, IL
possible, the whole pictorial effect.
This method having been found sue
cessful, it has been adopted in all
eclipse work since. Mr.. Alfred Bro
theirs suggests that for taking the
image of the corona, three achromatic
lenses of to feet focal length, cor
rected for the atinic rays, should be
constructed, and he states that the
light of the coronais sufficiently actlnic
to produce good pictures when an in
strument of long focus is used"
Pressure of the atmosphere is now
applied to the raising of coal in the
CreuzOt district in France. The air is
exhausted from hollow tube running
along the shaft from the bottom to the
top Of the colliery. At the fOet of this
tube is a piston fitted to it, and suppOr-
raised is put. When the cage is full
the air from the mine is allowed to
press upon the piston beneath, and
there being vacuum above the piston
and the cage, the load is borne upward
to the surface. Not only is the coal
raised in this way, but the ventilation
| of the mine is vastly improved. for the

A LABoR-SAvING WASHING LIQUID
Many laundresses save vast amount of
hard labor when washing clothes by
employing the following preparation,
which, it Is said, will not injure linen
nor cotton fabrics. When the number
of garments to be washed Is small one
half or one fourth the quantity men
toned may be employed: Dissolve two
pounds of bar soap in about three gal
Ions of water as hot as the hand can
bear, and add one tablespoonful Of tur-
pentine and three of liquid ammonia.
The mixture must be well stirred, and
the clothes STEPPED i'm it for two or three
hours, taking care to cover up the
vessel containing them as nearly steam
tight as possible. The clothes afterward
should be taken out and rinsed in the
usual way. The soap and water may
be re-heated and used a second time,
but i'm that case a teaspoOnful of tur-
pentine and a teaspOonful of ammonia
must be added. The process is said to
cause a great enconOmy Of time, labor
and fuel. The clothes will not be in
jured at all, and there will be little
necessity for rubbing, unless there are
places exceedingly dirty. When wrist
bands and collar bindings have been
saturated with perspiration. and the
dirt has been dried in, there is no wash
ing preparation in use that will remove
the dirt without some rubbing.
