Words of Wisdom.

It is hard work to teach people who
can learn nothing without being taught.
Take away from mankind their vanity
and their ambition, and there would be
but few claiming to be heroes or patriots.
There is nothing so easy as to be wise
for others q species of prodigality, by
the-bye-for such wisdom is wholly
wasted.
Most thoughtful men have probably
some dark fountains in their souls, by
the side of which, if there were time,
and it were decorous, they could let
their thoughts sit down and wall IN
definitely.
Every morning we enter upon new
day, carrying still an unknown future in
it's bosom. Thoughts may be born to-
day, which may never be extinguished.
Hopes may be excited to-day which may
never expire. Acts may be performed
to-day, the consequence of which may
not be realized till eternity.
An instant decides the life of man and
his whole fate for after heightened
thought the resolve is only the act OF a
moment it is the man of sense that
seizes on the right thing to be done it
is ever dangerous to lnger in your selec-
ton of this and that, and 30 by your
hesitation get confused.
The race of mankind would perish did
they cease to aid each other. From the
time that the mother binds the child's
head till the moment some assistant
wipes the death-damp from the brow of
the dying, we cannot exist without
mutual help. All, therefore, that need
aid have right to ask it of their fellow
mortals. No one, who holds the power
of granting it, can refuse it without
guilt.
The education of the human mind
commences in the cradle, and the i'm
pressions received there frequently exert
their influence through the whole of life.
Principles which take the deepest root
are those implanted during the seasons
of infancy. childhood and youth. The
young pupil takes early lessons from
everything around him his character
and habits are forming before he has
any consciousness of his reasoning pow

Killing Disabled Horses with Dynamite.

An English papersays: An interesting
e,neriment was ms lie last week at horse
slaughtering establishment at Dudley,
with tine view of testing a new system OF
slaughtering cattle by means OF dyna-
mite. and thus putting them out OF exist
ence more speedily and with less suffer-
ing than by the ordinary pole-a1. Two
large powerful horses and donkey (ais-
abied for work) were ranged in line
about half yard apart under shed,
the donkey being placed in the center.
A small primer of dynamite, with an
electric fuse attached, was then placed on
each of their foreheads and fastened IN
position by piece Of string under the
law. The wires were then coupled up IN
circ1,it and attached to the electric
machine. which stood about five yards In
front The handle Of the machine being
then turned, an electric current was dis
charged, which exploded the three
chsrees simultaneously, and the animals
Instantly fell dead without a struggle. The
whole affair was over in two minutes,
and the experiment appears to have been
. nerfect success. It was conducted by
Mr. johnson, agent for Mobiles E1pio-
siye Company, Glasgow, assisted by MIR.
| Harris. one Of the dynamite instructors.
Rv this means, it is stated, any number,
ever, hundred or more cattle, may be
| instantly killed by the same current of
! electricity.

A Novel Sausage Skin.

A writer in Nature says: We may
mention q circumstance of especial in
terest to scientific men, in connection
with the manufacture of this new food.
The Erbs,ourst, or pea-sausage, was
produced by the Germans in such large
quantities during the Franco Prussian
war that it was found to be absolutely
impossible to procure sufficient num-
Der of skins and bladders to contain the
preparation. All sorts of substitutes
were tried. Oil fabric and vegetable
parchment, as well as waterproof mate
rails, were essayed in vain, for an en-
yelope was required which was elastic
and unaffected by boiling water. At
last a chemist stepped in and solved the
problem. He proposed the use OF gela-
tine mixed with bichromate of potash,
or in other words the process employed
by photographers nowadays in producing
what are termed carbon prints. 1t is
we'll known that if solution of gelatine
and bichromate of potash is spread upon
paper and exposed to light, the gelatine
becomes insoluble in very short time,
and will ehtectually resist the action of
cold or hot water to dissolve it, this
principle being in fact that upon which
photographic prints are produced, the
horizons of a surface which refuse to
wash away constituting picture. This
same mixture was used for treating the
sausages. The food was pressed into
proper shapes and then dipped into the
bichromated gelatine solution, after
which it was exposed to daylight for a
couple of hours, when the gelatine
formed rough skin around it, capable
of being boiled with impunity.

Age of Vegetables.

The species of vegetables we now cul-
tiyate have been raised and eaten Tor
centuries. Even before the Christian
era many of them were in use.
Lettuce has been used at the table for
thousands of years. Herodotus tells us
that it was served at the royal table CEN
turies before the Christian era, and one
of the noble families of Rome derived its
name from this plant
Spinach, asparagus and celery have
been cultivated and eaten among the
eastern nations thousands OF years.
Jesus took the mustard seed as the ex-
ponent of parable.
Radishes were known and grown by
the Greeks, and were offered at Apollo's
shrine wrought in precious metals.
Parsnips were raised and brought
from the Rhine to add to the luxuries OF
Tiberius' table.
Beets we're most esteemed centuries
ago. and carrots were in such repute In
Queen Elizabeth's reign that the ladies
of her court adorned their huge struc-
lions of false hair with their feathery
plumes.
Peas, at Elizabeth's court, were very
rare, and were imported from Holland
as great delicacy.
Fruits, also, were in great repute
among the ancients.
The currant was cultivated centuries
ago in European gardens, and was called
the Corinthian grape.
Evelyn in his charming diary, speaks
of his berries as Corinths hence the
name of currants.
The damson plum was extensively cul-
tivated at Damascus, whence the name:
The cherry came frow Cosus, city OF
Pontus, and the delicious peach, king OF
fruits, was first known in Persia.
The ounce was holy fruit, dedicated
to the goddess of love, and was called
Cydonian apple.
Pears were as ancient as apples, and
are mentioned among the Paradisal
fruits.
Grapes were known at very remote
period, and are often mentioned In the
| Bible.

Removing Birthmarks.

professor" in the Tribune, says
that birthmarks or moles may be removed
by the following means:
For removing moles or birthmarks,
croton oil under the form of pomade or
ointment, and tartar emetic, under the
form of paste or plaster. The following
is the mode for using the latter: Take
tartar emetic in impalpable powder, fif-
teen grains; soap paste, one drachm; /;
nearly line in thickness (not more) and
cover the whole with strips of gummed
paper. In four or five days eruption or
suppuration will set in, and, in few
days after, leave slight scar. Croton
oil ointment effects the same, but less
completely unless suppuraed, by pro-
ducing pustular eruption, which, how
ever, does not permanently mark the

Little Words.

A POEM IN WORDS OF ONE SYLLABLE.
Think not that strength lies in the big round
word,
Or that the brief and plain must needs be
weak;
To whom can this be true who once has heard
The cry for help, the tongue that all men
speak
When want, or woe, or fear is in the throat,
So that each word gasped out is like shrek
Pressed from the sore throat, or strange wild
note
Sung by some fay or iend There is strength
Which dies if stretched too far or spun too fine,
Which has more height than breadth, more
depth than length.
Let but this force Of thought and speech be
mine,
And he that will may take the sleek, fat
phrase
Which glows and burns not, though it gleam
and shine;
Light but not heat-a flash without blaze.
Nor is it mere strength that the short word
boasts:
1t serves for more than fight or storm can
tell
The roar of waves that clash on rock-bound
coasts;
The crash of tan trees when the wild winds
swells;
The roar of guns; the groans Of men that die
On blood-stained fields. 1t has q voice as
well
For them that far off on their sick-beds lie;
For them that weep, for them that mourn the
dead;
For them that laugh, and dance, and clap the
hand
To joys quick step, as well as grief's low
tread
The sweet, plain words we learnt at first keep
time,
And though the theme be sad, or gay, OF
grand,
With each, with all, these may be made to
chime,
In thought, or speech, or song, or prose, OF
